Spring Thunder Chapter 0144: The Power of the Nation
"I live very close, in the hotel next door."
"I was wondering why the leader came so early. The traffic in Xiangkeng is very congested during rush hour." Nan Yi pretended to be enlightened.
"Nan Yi, I heard from Lao Xiang that you don't live in the dormitory either?"
"Yes, I live with my grandma."
"Then the dormitory will be empty. Put up a rental notice and rent the house out someday."
Nan Yi didn't say anything, just turned around and walked into the office.
Before the other two arrived, Nan Yi asked Cen Yangtai, "Uncle Cen, which seat should I sit in?"
"If there's nothing on the desk, just sit down. Xiangxun is a place of great importance, so I asked someone to buy a few more desks. Xiaonan, please decorate it later so that our office looks like it has more staff."
"clear."
Nan Yi is familiar with this routine. When co-working spaces were not yet popular, he shared an office with eight other "company bosses" and they all helped each other.
When one person has a client coming, the others will help act together and help to hold up the scene.
Nan Yi has very rich acting experience, including clerk, salesman, merchandiser, technician, deputy manager, designer, programmer, customer, etc. As long as the need arises, he can perform well.
After choosing a seat for himself, Nan Yi wiped his workstation with a rag, then inspected the entire office to see what was in the office and what was missing.
After a while, he put together a list.
"Uncle Cen, take a look. This is the list I made. We still need to buy these things."
Cen Yangtai waved his hand and didn't take the order. "I won't look at the order. Xiaonan, you've worked in a Japanese company before, so you should know what an office needs. When Xiaomai comes, you can ask her to give you some money to buy it. Let's talk about work first."
"You say."
Nan Yi nodded respectfully.
"Two days ago, I met with the chairman again, and he gave me instructions that in addition to doing trade business, we at Shenzhen Guofa also have the obligation to attract investment.
In the past few years, many people came from Bao'an, and many of them were successful in Xiangkeng .
These people are the ones we invite. We will introduce our preferential policies to them and invite them to return to Shenzhen to set up factories.
Of course, the big guys will be contacted by their superiors themselves, and the ones we want to visit are the small guys. I have a list in my hand, I will give you a copy someday, and you can go and visit them when you are free. "
"yes."
I'll give you three words another day. There's a lot of mystery in this.
Cen Yangtai would most likely screen the list, keep those big players who are easy to produce results for himself, and give those that are useless to Nan Yi.
After this period of contact, Nan Yi has already realized that Cen Yangtai is not a person who just sits in his position and does nothing, but a leader who has a strong sense of professionalism and wants to achieve results.
It doesn't matter if you give him some useless stuff, even if he can't run away, he doesn't have to take the blame.
Who knows how much money the remaining people who have passed the two rounds of screening have on hand. It is possible that they only have a few tens of thousands of dollars saved by living frugally over the past few years.
This kind of person should hire a hair merchant.
Just relax the policy, allow them to go home to visit their families and give them some money.
After a while, Mai Wen arrived.
"Mai Wen, give me 300 Hong Kong dollars. I want to go buy something."
"Oh, you need so much, what are you going to buy?"
"Look, the office is still short of a lot of office supplies, pens, folders, paper clips, staplers, a lot of miscellaneous things need to be purchased."
"Yes, I need to buy these. I'm also short of a lot of things. Can you help me buy them as well?"
"you say."
"Ink pad, ink pad, folder, file box, document holder, and bookends. If you see a receipt book, buy two."
"Okay, do you want to come with me?"
"No, it's too sunny outside today." Mai Wen said, writing on a piece of paper, "Here, sign it."
Nan Yi took it and saw that it was a withdrawal slip.
After signing her name in the corresponding position, Mai Wen took it, looked at it, put it away, opened her drawer, and took out three hundred Hong Kong dollars and gave it to Nan Yi.
"Don't forget to bring the receipt back. I need to enter it into my account."
"I have a lot of things to buy. Can the taxi fare be reimbursed?"
"I don't know, go ask Manager Cen yourself."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Nan Yi said as he knocked on the door and entered Cen Yangtai's office.
"Manager Cen, I want to ask, if I take a taxi for work, can I get it reimbursed?"
Cen Yangtai thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but be careful about the scale. If you can take the bus, try to take the bus. Our budget is tight. I will give you a reimbursement of 300 Hong Kong dollars a month for transportation expenses."
"Okay, got it."
"Mai Wen, Manager Cen said yes." Nan Yi returned to Mai Wen's workstation and said.
"How many?"
"The upper limit is three hundred per month."
"Then you're in trouble. The transportation fee to Xiangkeng is not cheap." Mai Wen said with a smile.
It's really miserable. If Nan Yi works diligently, he may have to change buses and take taxis countless times a day. Three hundred yuan sounds like a lot, but he should be careful when using it.
"I'm not familiar with the roads now, and I don't know how many detours I'll have to take. I'll have to pay for it myself this month." Nan Yi complained deliberately, "By the way, are we still paid in RMB?"
"Director Xiang and I receive Hong Kong dollars, but you still receive RMB. Your current personnel relationship is still an intern, and your salary will be paid through the Labor Department of the Second Light Industry Bureau. Your salary relationship will only be transferred to Shenzhen Guofa after you are officially employed."
"Whatever. My salary is not enough to do anything. Oh, how embarrassing. I said I came to work, but in fact I came to eat at my grandma's house."
Mai Wen covered her mouth and laughed, "Hehe, stop complaining. Don't think I don't know that you got a bonus, and it's quite a lot."
"Haha, I won't talk to you anymore . I have to go and come back quickly."
Nan Yi said this, walked out of the office, and closed the door behind him.
If you want to buy stationery and want to go to fewer places, you naturally have to go to Fuk Wah Street in Sham Shui Po, where there are many stationery stores that sell both wholesale and retail goods, with a complete range of products and cheap prices.
However, to get from Lyndhurst Street to Fuk Wah Street, you have to cross the sea first, passing through Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok and Prince Edward, so the journey is not short.
Take the bus?
hehe!
I read in the newspaper yesterday that there is a dispute over bus routes . A lot of minibuses were burned and smashed in the past two days. Taking the bus at this time is a safety issue.
Nan Yi went into the tea restaurant, ordered a cup of iced Yuanyang, borrowed a phone, and sat inside leisurely waiting.
In less than twenty minutes, his Mercedes had parked outside the tea restaurant.
It came so quickly, Devin must have been driving fast.
"Go to Fuhua Street."
…
During the week, Nan Yi went to work and came home. During working hours, he basically ran around outside, mainly to familiarize himself with the route to Xiangkeng.
Nan Yi has a certain talent for remembering roads. Generally speaking, if he walks a road once, he will not go the wrong way the next time.
December 5th.
Nan Yi came to a factory building in Chai Wan.
Take the elevator directly to the third floor.
There is only one Maofeng Garment Company on the third floor, which is the company Nan Yi wants to visit.
bite!
The elevator door opened. Nan Yi took advantage of the gap between the elevator opening and the closing time to look at the layout of the third floor and quickly found the location of the front desk.
He walked up quickly and said to the front desk: "Hello, Miss. I am Nan Yi from Shenguofa Trading. I want to see your general manager Lin Maofeng."
"Do you have a reservation?"
"Call Mr. Lin and I can provide your company with cheap cotton cloth, which is two-thirds cheaper than your current supplier."
Nan Yi couldn’t answer that he didn’t have an appointment. If he answered that way, he would be rejected and kicked out.
"Sorry, we don't need to change suppliers." The receptionist said coldly.
Nan Yi put his hands on the front desk and stared down at the receptionist. "Are you sure you don't want to ask for permission first? If you miss me, Maofeng will miss an opportunity to take off. Are you sure you can take the responsibility?"
"I...I, please wait a moment, I need instructions." The receptionist picked up the phone and pressed the call button.
Bingo!
The front desk clerks these days are relatively easy to fool, but after a few decades, it takes some effort to get in.
"Boss Lin, there's someone from Shenguofa Trading looking for you. He said he can offer us a discount of one-third..."
"one third."
Nan Yi interrupted the receptionist.
The receptionist glared at Nan Yi fiercely and said into the microphone: "He said he can provide us with cotton cloth at one-third the price... OK."
Click, the receptionist hung up the phone, "Nan Yi, right? I'll remember you, come with me."
"Pretty girl, please don't be angry. Anger makes you old. Next time...next time I'll come over and treat you to a meal."
It is relatively easy to deal with the receptionist, it’s just a matter of one meal. If that’s not possible, then two meals. If it’s still not enough, then add a set of high-end cosmetics.
When Nan Yi was doing business, he often used similar routines. As long as he made minor adjustments for different people, it could be said that it always worked.
There were also a few receptionists in his "fleeting romance".
Nan Yi was taken to Lin Maofeng's office. Without waiting for the receptionist to introduce him, he walked up to the big desk and said, "Hello, Boss Lin. Hello, I'm Nan Yi from Shenzhen Guofa Trading."
"Shen Guofa, I haven't heard of it." Lin Maofeng frowned.
“It’s not surprising. Our company has just opened for business. However, our Shen Guo Fa Trading is a subsidiary of the Second Light Industry Bureau of Shen Cun. We can draw on the resources of the entire Shen Cun, and even the resources of the entire Guangdong Province.
There are two state-owned textile factories in Shencun, both of which are large factories with thousands of employees and mainly produce cotton cloth.
It just so happens that we can provide cotton cloth to Mr. Lin. As for the supply price, I think Mr. Lin must know something about it. It will be much more affordable than the prices of the two major cotton mills in Xiangkeng."
"Hehe, do you know how long I have been cooperating with those two factories? You suddenly come here and want to steal their business?" Lin Maofeng sneered.
"Boss Lin, I know very well why there are only two cotton mills in Xiangkeng; I also understand why the clothing companies in Xiangkeng only use cotton fabrics from these two companies.
All I can say is that times have changed.
Xiangkeng, apart from the booming real estate, other industries will not have a bright future, and no one can dominate any industry.
For real estate, many companies have to sit together to discuss, let alone the textile industry.
Although Hong Kong still has a certain cost advantage over Europe in the textile industry, Mr. Lin, how long do you think this advantage can last?
Southeast Asia is making plans, and many countries in South America have begun to support the textile industry;
The same is true in India. They are also supporting their own textile industry. If one day India's textile industry flourishes, they will begin to restrict the export of cotton.
What do you think will happen to the clothing companies in Xiangyuan at that time?"
Nan Yi paused deliberately before continuing, "Boss Lin, Shencun needs foreign exchange now, and our country lacks foreign exchange. Now I am the one who takes the initiative to come to you and ask for cooperation, but in a year at the shortest and three to five years at the longest, this situation will definitely change dramatically.
If you help someone in need, you are a guest of honor; if you add icing on the cake, that is hard to say.
Boss Lin, I suggest you think carefully about this."
