Chapter 732 Million
Lending money to Shen Yuanjie was just an episode. This money was nothing to Qin Zhengguo. On the one hand, he did it for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law. On the other hand, after talking with Shen Yuanjie, he felt that this person was reliable, and the trading method he proposed was also feasible.
In this case, it wouldn't be a big deal to lend a helping hand. Qin Zhengguo also hoped that Shen Yuanjie could make a name for himself in this business. If he succeeded in the future, maybe they could cooperate in the future.
Qin Zhengguo didn't know that in his previous life, the reason why he went to border trade was actually because Shen Yuanjie took him there. At that time, Shen Yuanjie's business was already quite big, and because of the relationship between his younger brother and sister-in-law, he was introduced to Shen Yuanjie, who was doing well in Fenhe, and that's how the story of Qin Zhengguo going to border trade came about.
But now it is different. Qin Zhengguo has long become a big boss in Hong Kong. Naturally, he would look down on such petty quarrels. Moreover, the identities and status of the two have also changed. Instead, it became Qin Zhengguo who helped Shen Yuanjie. It must be said that it is really an interesting coincidence.
After staying in Andong for a few days, Qin Zhengguo lent the money to Shen Yuanjie and prepared to return home.
When he left, he took his nephew with him, but this time he did not take Sun Sixi's car to Fengtian. Their factory has now officially started production, and they are very busy with the subsequent work. In addition, the new sales plan has also been adjusted under the guidance of Qin Zhengguo. Sun Sixi is the deputy factory director and has a lot of work to do. He can't ask him to accompany him for two or three days at this time, right?
After saying goodbye to his brothers, sisters and friends, Qin Zhengguo and his nephew boarded the train back to Fengtian, and then took a flight from Fengtian to Guangzhou.
Next, my eldest nephew will stay in Guangzhou for a while, first studying at Guangzhou University for two months, and then transfer to Hong Kong University to study abroad at his own expense under the name of a Guangzhou University student.
As soon as he returned to Hong Kong, Song Yuanchao called Qin Zhengguo. After answering Song Yuanchao's call, Qin Zhengguo contacted Liu Da and made an appointment to meet him.
Liu is now full of energy and vigor. Since he staged his comeback as a king, he has become very famous in Hong Kong. For many days in a row, his photos and news about him have been frequent features in financial magazines.
It took him only two months from leaving the company to returning again. Such an operation was regarded as a masterstroke in the business world, and some even compared him with Li Chaoren's classic battle in acquiring Hutchison Whampoa.
Liu has now carried out a thorough cleansing within the company. All previous competitors and shareholders have been basically eliminated by him , and his control over the company has reached an unprecedented level.
Moreover, after completing their comeback, Liu and Shenghua took advantage of several favorable factors to continuously push up the previously sluggish stock price. Although the current stock price has not yet reached its historical high, judging from the situation, it is destined to reach and break through.
Liu was very satisfied with the result, but he also knew that the help from Shenghua was very important for him to control the company again. If Song Yuanchao had not let him go and assisted him in the operation, Liu might not only fail to get the company back, but also suffer huge losses.
Even though Shenghua also gained an advantage in this operation and became the company's second largest shareholder, Liu did not think this was a bad thing. On the contrary, it strengthened the cooperation between the two parties. It was a good thing for himself and the company to have such a partner.
Because of this, when Qin Zhengguo called Da Liu to make an appointment with him, Da Liu agreed immediately over the phone.
At around 2 p.m., Qin Zhengguo and Da Liu met at the Chaoshan teahouse where they met last time.
"Boss Qin, long time no see." Qin Zhengguo arrived a few minutes later than Da Liu. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Da Liu standing up and walking towards him with a smile on his face.
"Boss Liu, you are in great shape now." After shaking hands with Big Liu, Qin Zhengguo said with a smile, making a double entendre.
"Hahaha, it's all thanks to friends' support. How can there be any spring breeze? If you want to talk about spring breeze, you are the spring breeze." Big Liu shook Qin Zhengguo's hand, and the two laughed in tacit understanding.
After a few pleasantries, he sat down.
"I know you like drinking tea. Come, try this." After sitting down, Da Liu picked up the teapot in front of him and poured a cup of tea for Qin Zhengguo.
He stretched out two fingers and tapped on the tea table to express his gratitude, then took the teacup and took a sip.
"Boss Liu's tea-making skills are still as good as ever. Haha, there are not many people in Hong Kong who can drink tea brewed by Boss Liu himself."
"What you said is so exaggerated. We are all friends. If you wanted to have tea that day, just invite me."
"I dare not do that. You are a big boss with a lot of things to do. If I ask you to drink tea and serve tea every day, I won't have such a big face. Besides, if you have nothing to do, I will be anxious. Don't forget that Shenghua is still planning to make money from your company."
Da Liu burst into laughter. This was indeed true. Sheng Hua was now the largest shareholder of Da Liu's company, with shares second only to Da Liu. The bigger his company became, the more profit it made, and the more money Sheng Hua would make.
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while, and then Qin Zhengguo talked about the purpose of his visit today.
"Water dispenser?" When Liu heard the purpose of Qin Zhengguo looking for him, he was slightly stunned and felt a little strange.
A water dispenser is a very common household (office) appliance, without much technical content, and is very common in Hong Kong.
Da Liu Company started out as a manufacturer of electric fans, and now in addition to fans it also produces other electrical products, including water dispensers.
However, the market for this product is not very large, because the market in Hong Kong is so small, and there is not much demand for water dispensers in Western countries. This is mainly due to the different drinking water in Western countries.
In many Western countries, drinking water is directly delivered to households. In other words, people can drink it by simply turning on the tap, which is different from the Chinese habit of boiling water. In some other countries, the water quality is problematic. Although drinking water is also delivered to households, they generally drink bottled water because of the water quality issues.
As a result, the market for water dispensers is very small. In addition, Westerners are used to drinking cold water instead of hot water, and the heating function of water dispensers that Orientals are accustomed to has no market at all.
Therefore, the water dispenser products of Daliu Company are only supplied to Hong Kong, across the bay and the nearby Macao Island, as well as Japan and several countries in Southeast Asia. The competition of similar products in these markets is fierce, so the output of products is not large, and it accounts for a small proportion of the product structure of Daliu Company.
"What? Can't produce?" Qin Zhengguo asked.
Liu shook his head and said, "Of course there is no problem with production. This product does not require much technical content. Our company already has similar products for sale in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. But Boss Qin, I tell you the truth, the market for this product is not very good, and it does not sell very well, so the production is very small."
"If you don't need much, you don't have to specially produce it. I remember that there are several hundred units in stock in the warehouse in Xiangjiang. I will call the people below to ask for the specific number later. You can just send a car to take it away."
"How many hundreds?"
"About 400 to 500 units. You need to ask for the exact number. This batch of goods was originally sent to Japan, but then the order changed. As you know, I had already left the company at that time, so the contract did not go through my hands."
Qin Zhengguo nodded slightly, but soon shook his head.
"Boss Liu, brothers should be clear about accounts. Even if Shenghua is a shareholder of the company, we can't operate like this when getting goods. We still have to follow the procedures and processes. When doing business, there is no need to take advantage of such small advantages. What do you think?"
"Hahaha, Boss Qin, what you said is right. In that case, I'll give it to you at cost price. It's a waste to keep this batch of goods anyway. You can save me some trouble by buying it. I'd like to say thank you here." Da Liu didn't act pretentiously and said with a smile.
Qin Zhengguo continued to shake his head. Da Liu was slightly stunned, then he immediately understood.
"Look at what I said. I didn't think it through. Since these are overstocked products, there should be a discount. How about this? I give you 60% off the cost. Are you satisfied with this discount?"
Who would have thought that Qin Zhengguo still shook his head. This time, Liu Da was a little confused. What was going on?
Just now he said he wanted to give it to Qin Zhengguo for free, but Qin Zhengguo refused and insisted on buying it. But now he offered him a very low price, but he didn't want to buy it again? Could it be that he thought it was too expensive? For a moment, Da Liu didn't know how to quote the price? This is not right, that is not right. What is Qin Zhengguo thinking?
"Don't get me wrong, Boss Liu." Seeing that Big Liu looked a little uneasy, he smiled and explained, "Let's not talk about the price first. As the saying goes, don't do a business that will lose money. We are all family. If the company loses money, it's my money. And this example cannot be broken. No matter how good the relationship is, we can't do business like this."
"So what does Boss Qin mean...?" For a moment, Liu Da didn't understand Qin Zhengguo's intention anymore and asked in confusion.
"We'll talk about the price later. First, bring me one of the current water dispensers so I can see the product's functions. In addition, Shenghua is not going to buy dozens or hundreds of water dispensers. To be honest, the number is too small. Do you think it's worth it for us to sit down and discuss such a small deal?"
Big Liu raised his eyebrows: "So how much does Shenghua plan to purchase? Hundreds? Thousands? Or...?"
Qin Zhengguo stretched out a finger and shook it at Da Liu.
"Ten thousand units?" Big Liu was shocked. Ten thousand water dispensers was indeed a large order. No wonder Qin Zhengguo didn't like the few hundred units in his warehouse.
But before he could think further, he heard Qin Zhengguo laughing and saying, " Boss Liu, can't you be a little bolder? Ten thousand units? Is this the only strength of Shenghua? You really underestimate us."
"Is it 100,000 units?" Liu asked in surprise.
Qin Zhengguo laughed even louder. He shook his head and laughed, pointing to the ceiling and said, "Boss Liu, Boss Liu, you have to be a little braver and guess a bigger number!"
"One million units?" When Liu said a number that he didn't believe himself, he didn't expect that Qin Zhengguo, who was sitting opposite him, actually nodded and told him that this was the correct number.
