Spring Thunder Chapter 0125 Borrowing a Sign
Just after ten o'clock, the two cars arrived at Main Street, the busiest street in Flushing.
The Toyota Land Cruiser stopped first, and Rebecca got out of the car, with her right hand faintly under her armpit. She walked to the rear door of the Cadillac, looked around vigilantly, and then opened the rear door halfway;
Then she looked around again and made sure it was safe before opening the door at a 75-degree angle, with her body faintly blocking the gap in the door. After Liu Zhen got out of the car, Rebecca stood behind her. Her tall figure of 1.80 meters completely blocked the relatively petite Liu Zhen.
Ruan Zhiling turned off the engine and got out of the car, walking in front of Liu Zhen.
The three of them walked to the door of a roadside cafe. Ruan Zhiling went in to check it out first, then protected Liu Zhen in and found a table in a relatively blind spot that was not easy to be sniped from the outside.
Liu Zhen is just a small person, and such strict protection may seem a little ridiculous, but small people can also become big people. Nan Yi hopes that she will get used to this kind of protection from now on.
Kennedy was free and easy back then, driving around in a convertible with beautiful women, but his ending was...
Liu Zhen had just ordered a cup of coffee when Xian Weile arrived.
Without further ado, Xian Weile spread out a map of Flushing as soon as he sat down. "The investigation company has already investigated several major blocks in Flushing, Main Street, Roosevelt Avenue, here, here, and here. They are all suitable for opening supermarkets."
"Is this circle right across the street?" Liu Zhen said, pointing to the corner opposite the cafe.
"Yes, it's next to the Chinese Supermarket. This store has good business, but it also has a lot of troubles. Not only do Chinese gangs ask for protection money, but black people often come to rob. This month alone, it has been robbed four times.
The most recent one was yesterday, I was outside the store, two black guys, they looked to be no more than 12 or 13 years old.
"The shop owner wants to sell it?"
"Yes, as long as the price is not too low, he is willing to sell. The owner is already sixty years old and has made almost all his money. He is worried every day, so he wants to move the store back to Xiangkeng to retire."
"Can you deal with those two troubles?"
"Chinese gangs are easy to deal with. We just need to pay the protection fees. As for the blacks, we can also deal with them."
Liu Zhen asked: "What method?"
"It's better that you don't know." Xian Weile said awkwardly: "If you really want to know, you should write a letter to Nan Yi."
"Okay, then I won't ask. Does the house opposite belong to the store owner?"
"Yes, if it wasn't the store owner's house, I wouldn't have listed it as a target. I've already asked for a price of $480,000. The house and the store will be transferred together. I think the owner is willing to negotiate the price."
"Back Off!" Rebecca reached under her armpits and stopped a woman who was approaching.
"Hey, relax." The woman raised her hand and said to Liu Zhen: "Zhen?"
"Yes." Liu Zhen nodded, "Who are you?"
"Rachel, Rachel Parsons, senior partner of Sherman Law Firm. I am also the senior legal advisor of Pan American Investments."
Pan American Investment Holdings is a wholly owned investment holding company of Nanshi Investment Holdings. All future investment activities of Nanshi in North America will be initiated through this company. Pan American will also be the foundation of Nanyi in North America.
"Rachel, hello, I know you, please sit down." Liu Zhen invited.
"Thank you." Rachel put her left hand on her waist, slid it down from her waist to her thighs, smoothed her skirt, and sat down on her seat.
"Xian?"
"Yes, it's me."
Rachel took out a folder from her briefcase and handed it to Liu Zhen, "Zhen, take a look at this."
Liu Zhen took the folder, opened it and took a look. Inside was a power of attorney document, authorizing Rachel to assist Xian Weile in acquiring the store in Flushing.
The authorized person is Fang Mengyin. The letter "g" in the signature is written in one stroke, and the end is at the center of the circle.
Regarding this somewhat special signature, Fang Mengyin had already called Liu Zhen in advance to tell her about Rachel. This signature can be regarded as a seal.
"Weile, no problem. Rachel is your legal advisor sent by your brother to assist you in dealing with legal issues . You can consult her if you have anything." Liu Zhen finished speaking, and then said to Rachel, "You two can talk. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Liu Zhen left again under the protection of Ruan Zhiling and the other man.
"Lawyer Rachel, I want to ask you about the Castle Law. If I shoot and kill a robber in my supermarket, what do I need to do to avoid legal disputes?"
"Xian..."
…
Nan Yi hung up the phone with Fang Mengyin, picked up a parcel from the table and opened it.
Inside the package was a list of potential customers for Yama no Taste made by Masami Ueto, as well as an analysis of the demand for various mountain products.
According to the report, the best-selling dried fruit in Japan is probably chestnuts. There are also sugar-roasted chestnuts, and many people eat them.
Masami Ueto found a sugar-roasted chestnut shop called Hayashi Manchangtang in Kyoto. This shop has a history of over a hundred years. In the past, they had always used chestnuts from Yanshan. However, due to problems with the supply in the past few decades, they switched to using local Japanese chestnuts.
If Tu No Wei can provide them with high-quality Yanshan chestnuts, they are willing to become Tu No Wei 's long-term customers.
Yanshan is in Hebei Province, which is beyond the established supply range of Tu Nowei. Lin Wanchangtang has only one store and does not use much in a year.
If we look at it purely from the perspective of return on investment, it is not worth taking on this customer; but from the perspective of word-of-mouth marketing, this business is a must.
There is no way to monopolize the delivery channels. If Tu Nowei can do it, others can do it too. If Tu Nowei's brand is not established, it will be caught in fierce competition in three to five years at most, or one to two years at most.
"We have to go to Yanshan." Nan Yi thought for a while, picked up the phone and called Cen Yangtai.
"Hello, Manager Cen, I'm Xiaonan. Let me tell you something. A Japanese company wants to purchase chestnuts from our country. They specifically want chestnuts from Yanshan, Hebei Province. Yes, yes, only chestnuts from Yanshan.
I plan to go to Hebei Province to explore the route and inquire about the price. Once I get the price, you can come forward to negotiate with the Japanese. Okay, okay, I will be careful and cautious. Okay, okay, I will report in time."
The reason why Nan Yi called Cen Yangtai and asked Shenguofa to participate in the chestnut business was mainly to facilitate his own actions and to eliminate possible troubles in the future.
The original intention of establishing Shenzhen Guofa Trading was to earn foreign exchange for the Second Light Industry Bureau by leveraging its leadership function over the entire Shenzhen-Cun light industry and to complete the foreign exchange earning tasks assigned by superiors.
Simply put, Shenzhen Guofa does whatever makes money and sells whatever can be exchanged for foreign exchange.
No matter what light industrial products are sold to earn the foreign exchange, as long as the foreign exchange can be paid back, Shenzhen Guofa will have made a contribution and the specific executors will be good comrades.
Nan Yi is only borrowing the brand of Shenguofa without using the local resources of Shencun. If it can make a deal to earn foreign exchange for the company, Cen Yangtai, Nan Yi's boss Shen Ganning, whom he has never met, and the leaders of the Second Light Industry Bureau will all be happy to see it happen.
Although borrowing the Shenguofa brand would mean giving up a piece of profit for nothing, Nan Yi didn't care .
Rather than a little profit, Nan Yi would rather avoid unnecessary trouble.
