Chapter 278 Fall
"real?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I rush to find you?" Zhao Minglei looked a little proud: "Let me tell you, the people over there will arrive in Yanjing in the next few days. If this matter can be negotiated, you know the benefits. This is not a trivial matter. I came to discuss with you as soon as I received the news. How to receive and negotiate next, we have to discuss it carefully, this is the God of Wealth!"
"Yes, yes, this is indeed a big deal!" Wang Juan put out the cigarette she had only taken two puffs of directly in the ashtray and said happily: "If this deal goes through, we will be the only one in the entire Yanjing City. By then, won't we have a lot of money?"
"That's exactly what happened!" Zhao Minglei said cheerfully, "By the way, you still have to say hello to Brother Liming about this matter. It would be great if Brother Liming could meet the visitor. He is a big boss in Hong Kong. It's not enough for you and I to come forward. It would be great if Brother Liming could come forward. You know Brother Liming's power. Only if he can see our power in the mainland, this cooperation will be a sure thing."
"You don't need to tell me this. I will talk to Brother Liming. But you know that Brother Liming is very busy and may not be able to receive the other party. I will try my best to find a way."
Wang Juan said this, and at the same time thinking of the huge benefits that would be gained once this cooperation was concluded, she stood up excitedly and circled around the room several times like a happy little bird.
Since the business in Dazhalan started, Zhao Minglei and his friends have made a lot of money. Although now it is not as good as before, as more and more people enter this industry, the profit has begun to decline slowly. But no matter what, with the energy of Zhao Minglei and his friends, plus Lao Xiong's connections in the underworld, and the channels and sources of goods that they snatched from Luo Yang, Zhao Minglei and his friends are still doing very well.
Now Zhao Minglei and his team can earn nearly 200,000 yuan in profit every month. Although the bulk of this profit belongs to Zhang Liming, the money earned by Zhao Minglei, Wang Juan and Lao Xiong combined is not as much as that earned by Zhang Liming alone. But even this is a huge sum of money in this era. With several thousand yuan in hand every month, Zhao Minglei has become more confident. Wang Juan has also made a lot of money and has become more concerned about business matters.
But even so, Zhao Minglei and his team were still a little unsatisfied, and the key lay in the issue of supply.
Although Zhao Minglei has gained many sales channels by driving Luo Yang away and forcing Xiao Qiao and others, the sources of some of the best-selling products are still not in his hands.
In this regard, Xiao Qiao told Zhao Minglei that he had no way to do anything, because the imported products were directly provided by Xiangjiang, and the company that provided them was the agent of Xiangjiang Company in Yangcheng, and they were just "middlemen". Xiao Qiao was completely powerless to do anything about this matter, so Zhao Minglei inquired carefully and finally confirmed that Xiao Qiao was telling the truth.
But this matter has always been a knot in Zhao Minglei's heart. In his opinion, this is a pity. If they can get the goods directly from Hong Kong, then they can not only monopolize the supply from the upstream, but also have countless benefits for their business. In addition, after monopolizing the supply, wouldn't they have the final say on the profit margin of the product? Zhao Minglei calculated this account very clearly. After all, he is a college student majoring in economics, and the knowledge about "trust" is written in books.
Putting his knowledge into practice, Zhao Minglei already felt that he was a talented businessman after experiencing this practical operation. In his opinion, being a businessman was actually nothing special. Moreover, he not only understood these things, but also had the support of Zhang Liming behind him. With these, what could he not accomplish?
If you want to do it, just do it. These days, Zhao Minglei has been trying to contact Hong Kong directly, but Xiao Qiao, although she sells his account, refuses to tell him the actual situation in Hong Kong. In other words, due to the sudden emergence of Zhao Minglei, the current market in Dashilan has become a bit complicated. As a relative, Xiao Qiao is very disgusted with Zhao Minglei's tactic of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and Lao Xiong's rough and simple way of dealing with things, as a gangster who was originally a gangster.
But all these could not pose a problem for Zhao Minglei. Since he couldn't do it openly, he resorted to underhand tactics. He secretly bribed the guys in Xiao Qiao's store and found a way to get their purchase orders. Then he used the purchase orders to find the contact information of the Hong Kong company without much effort.
After getting the contact information, Zhao Minglei hurriedly reported to Zhang Liming and Wang Juan. The three of them discussed privately and decided to bypass Xiao Qiao and communicate directly with Xiangjiang Company to achieve a monopoly on the upstream.
It took a lot of effort to contact the Hong Kong side. At first, Zhao Minglei called but the other side ignored him. The difficult-to-understand Hong Kong dialect and English on the phone made Zhao Minglei's head spin.
However, Zhao Minglei did not get discouraged. If one phone call didn't work, he would try two or three. As the saying goes, where there is sincerity, there is always a way. After a while, Zhao Minglei was finally able to contact the other party's boss and communicated with him on the phone.
When Zhao Minglei proposed to fully cooperate with the Hong Kong company as their only sales agent in the mainland, the other boss laughed on the phone and then hung up without saying a word.
Holding the beeping telephone receiver, Zhao Minglei was stunned for a moment, and then continued to contact the other party. Finally, relying on his "tenacious" and "indomitable" spirit, the boss of the other party was willing to listen to his explanation.
On the phone, Zhao Minglei told the other party directly about his abilities and potential, and at the same time made a series of assurances. In addition, Zhao Minglei was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he specially invited the other party to come to Yanjing directly if it was convenient. As long as the other party arrived in Yanjing, he would understand that everything Zhao Minglei said was true.
In response to this, the other boss did not hang up the phone directly this time. Instead, he asked Zhao Minglei some questions on the phone. Zhao Minglei, who had been prepared, answered fluently, which left a good impression on the other party.
But the other party still did not agree to cooperate, and just said a few polite words vaguely before ending the communication. Although this time was still a failure, it was a progress in Zhao Minglei's heart, and it also gave him greater confidence.
In this way, they communicated back and forth for more than a month and made countless phone calls. Finally, this morning the other party's boss suddenly told Zhao Minglei that he would fly to Yanjing in the next few days and would meet Zhao Minglei when he arrived in Yanjing.
As for the rest, the other boss didn't mention a word, but in Zhao Minglei's opinion, this already meant that the other party had begun to loosen up, and what did the other party come to Yanjing for? Of course, to see him! Since he was going to see him, it meant that there was something to talk about. As long as they could talk it out, wouldn't everything be done smoothly?
"Brother Minglei, you are really capable. It is a good idea to cooperate with you, hehe." After listening to Zhao Minglei's story, Wang Juan looked at Zhao Minglei with a smile and put her little hand on his chest.
"Look at you, you must be tired these days. I see you seem to have lost some weight..." Wang Juan touched her twice and frowned slightly, as if she was feeling a little heartbroken.
Zhao Minglei felt stiff all over, and he felt a little unwell. In his life, Zhao Minglei had never been in such close contact with a woman, let alone being touched by a woman.
"Juan...Juanzi..." Zhao Minglei, whose mouth was dry, trembled slightly and his words were stuttering.
"Hey, Brother Minglei, are you feeling cold? Why is your body shaking so violently?" Wang Juan looked up and asked in surprise. At this time, Zhao Minglei's face was flushed and there were even beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Are you sick? Brother Minglei, why is your face so hot again?" Wang Juan's hand stroked Zhao Minglei's cheek again like a snake. When the soft little hand touched Zhao Minglei's face, Zhao Minglei's whole body shook even more violently as if he was electrocuted.
“Juan…Juanzi, don’t…don’t do this, I…I…” Zhao Minglei’s face turned red and white, and he couldn’t speak clearly.
"What do you mean by don't do this? Don't do that? Brother Minglei...just tell me." Wang Juan became more and more demanding and almost stuck to Zhao Minglei.
"Don't...if Brother Liming knew..."
"Hehe, how would he know if you don't tell him?" Wang Juan smiled like a flower. In fact, Wang Juan had thought about this since Zhao Minglei saw her coming down from the second floor. Wang Juan had been pursuing Zhang Liming madly, but Zhang Liming just didn't like her. He had been one-sided for so many years.
But Wang Juan still didn't give up, especially in the matter of bringing benefits to Zhang Liming by winning over Zhao Minglei. Although Wang Juan did not achieve her goal, she was one step closer to Zhang Liming.
In fact, Wang Juan knew that the possibility of her and Zhang Liming being together was very small, and there would probably be no hope. But as a woman, she was sentimental, and Wang Juan often deceived herself, thinking that even if she couldn't legitimately become Zhang Liming's lover, it would be good to be his woman.
But today, she was having fun here and was unexpectedly bumped into by Zhao Minglei who came looking for her . Wang Juan was worried that if Zhao Minglei let the secret slip in front of Zhang Liming, her only remaining hope would be shattered.
That's why Wang Juan deliberately made these moves. Her purpose was to drag Zhao Minglei into the water. As long as he did something that she shouldn't do, then Zhao Minglei would become her own person. Wouldn't she be able to control him in the future? Besides, although Zhao Minglei was not as good as Zhang Liming, he was also a promising young man in the circle, and he was handsome, which was not a loss for Wang Juan.
How could a fledgling like Zhao Minglei be a match for the experienced Wang Juan?
After a few seconds, Zhao Minglei's head felt dizzy as if it was filled with paste, and his remaining rationality was completely worn away by primitive desires.
"Brother Minglei, do you think I'm beautiful?" Wang Juan asked with a pout. The hot air from her mouth, carrying the fragrance of her daughter, went straight into Zhao Minglei's nostrils.
Zhao Minglei was already dizzy at this time. Not to mention the pretty Wang Juan, even a sow would have double eyelids in front of him.
Zhao Minglei uttered the word "beautiful" with difficulty, and his eyes turned red as he spoke.
"Brother Minglei, since you think I'm beautiful, what are you waiting for? You're such a little fool..." Wang Juan raised her finger and gently tapped the tip of Zhao Minglei's nose. How could Zhao Minglei bear this?
