Spring Thunder Chapter 0222: Personal Investment
"Maomao, is there any fun place here?"
Nan Yiren is handsome, has a sweet mouth, and has candies that can sweeten his mouth, so it is not difficult for him to get close to the waiter.
Waiters, especially front desk waiters, often have to deal with different strangers. Most of them have extroverted personalities, so it is easier to deal with such people.
"There's nothing fun to do here. We're in a small county, and it's not as fun as in a big city. Tell me more about Qiantang. I haven't been there yet."
"Okay, let me tell you something. A few days ago, I was sitting by the West Lake drinking tea. I was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. I was so happy that I was inspired to write a poem on the spot. I'll read it to you."
"Okay, okay, read it quickly."
"The West Lake looks big from a distance, but small from a close distance. I don't know whether it is small or big. How about it? Is my poem better than Li Bai's?"
"What a good poem, what a really good poem, haha." Maomao praised against his will, and immediately covered his mouth and laughed.
"Don't laugh, be serious, the story isn't over yet." Nan Yi pretended to be angry, and then said: "After writing such a masterpiece, we can't put it on the shelf, we have to let others read it.
As I thought about this, I stood up and walked to the newsstand, ready to pick out a newspaper to see which one would be best for publishing it.
But when I got to the newsstand , well, to my surprise, guess what I saw? "
"Hey, don't keep us in suspense, just tell me quickly." Maomao grabbed Nan Yi's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone.
"Okay, okay, let me continue. Have you seen Teacher Zheng Wenguang's "Flight to Sagittarius"? "
"I haven't seen it. Is it good?"
Nan Yi muttered: "It's good that you haven't seen it, I can talk nonsense."
"It's nice. Check it out if you have a chance. I'll continue my story. At the newsstand, I saw a person who looked like a Sagittarius moving magazines. When he saw me, he laughed at me.
When he smiled, I could see his face clearly. It turned out that he was not an alien, but he was a little ugly..."
"Comrade Nan."
"Comrade Lou, why are you here so early?"
Nan Yi looked back and saw that it was Lou Yuchun.
"I just wanted to come here early to wait for you. I thought you were still outside."
"No, I just walked around outside for a while and came back. Have you eaten? If not, let's go out for a meal later."
"I ate it. I ate it."
Lou Yuchun agreed quickly, but Nan Yi could tell that he probably didn't eat.
" You're welcome . We'll talk while we eat."
"Well, I'll treat you then."
"Whatever you want." Nan Yi responded and said to the waiter Maomao, "Maomao, I'm going out to eat. Do you want me to bring you something?"
"Okay, order a meat dish. Wait, I'll give you the lunch box."
"Please leave it at the front desk. I need to go back to my room. Comrade Lou, please wait a moment. I need to go back to my room."
"Okay, okay. I'll wait."
Nan Yi went upstairs to call Ueto Masami, then took Maomao's lunch box and went out with Lou Yuchun.
Walking south along Beimen Street, passing the scale shop, iron shop, and Wujiaohua Company, you will arrive at the Yiwu Hotel at the T-junction of Beimen Street and Xianqian Street.
"Comrade Nan, what would you like to eat? I'll treat you." As they entered the Yiwu Hotel, Lou Yuchun said hurriedly.
"I heard that the plain noodles here are delicious, so let's eat the plain noodles."
Guang noodles, also known as Yangchun noodles or clear soup noodles, are cooked slightly differently in different places, but the word "Guang" indicates that there is only noodles in this noodle, without any other toppings or sauces. This kind of noodles is the cheapest among all noodles.
"You are guests when you come to Yiwu. How can I let you eat all the noodles? Of course you have to eat shredded pork noodles." Lou Yuchun gritted his teeth and said arrogantly.
"I'd rather not have the plain noodles. Comrade Lou, I'm not being polite to you, I really want to try the plain noodles here."
"Well, all right then."
Lou Yuchun breathed a sigh of relief and went to the window to place his order.
Nan Yi shook his head and looked at Lou Yuchun's back, thinking that if he really ordered the shredded pork noodles, Lou Yuchun would have only his own bowl of shredded pork noodles when he returned, and he would be so distressed that he wouldn't be able to sleep the whole night.
When ordering shredded pork noodles for Nan Yi and the others, Lou Yuchun couldn't bear to order just noodles, otherwise he would lose face. However, this shredded pork noodles exceeded his consumption concept, and he would think it was not worth it and was an unnecessary expense.
After Lou Yuchun placed the order, he quickly came back and sat down next to Nan Yi.
Without wasting any time, he asked as soon as he sat down: "Comrade Nan, you have been to many places, right?"
"I have been to quite a few places. The northernmost place was Changbai Mountain, and the southernmost place was Lijiapo."
"Lijiapo is abroad, right?"
"It's abroad, which is one of the places in Nanyang that we used to talk about ."
"That's really well-informed. Do you go there for fun?"
"Comrade Lou, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just ask whatever you want to ask. I'll answer everything I can."
"Then I'll ask around, from north to south, what's selling well in each place?"
"Your question is a bit too broad, let me explain it to you. In the Northeast, there are abundant materials, many large state-owned enterprises, and people have money in their pockets, but the weather there is cold, so people have to stay at home for most of the year. Women have nothing to do, so they just sew and mend clothes. When the weather gets cold, the needles and thread will be sold out very quickly.
This is a small business. If you want a bigger business, if you can get leather jackets and sell them in October, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Other things like canned fruits will also sell well, but there is a problem. The weather in Northeast China is cold, and if you are not careful, the glass bottles of the cans will be frozen and cracked. So you have to solve the problem of insulation, or you can find iron cans.
If you go a little further north, you can reach the Soviet revisionists. The trading ports between our country and the Soviet revisionists are not open, but there are already people secretly trading goods on the border. You can contact those people and see what things from the south they want, and you can provide them with them.
A little further south..."
Nan Yi did not hold back and told him everything that Lou Yuchun could do.
He kept talking from the moment he was waiting for the noodles to the moment he finished eating and packed up a meat dish before leaving, and when he returned to the guesthouse, he still hadn't finished talking.
When he returned to the room and continued talking, Lou Yuchun listened very carefully and took notes from time to time.
"In the southernmost areas of Yangcheng and Shencun, you don't have much to sell, but you can go there to buy goods. However, it's not that there is no business to do. In Shekou, Shencun, there is a Xie Group from Luguo that makes feed.
They need a large amount of corn every year, mainly from the Kingdom of Xiang, the Kingdom of Lu and the Northeast. Their corn is transported through Xiangkeng and then to Shekou.
Why does corn from Northeast China have to be transferred to Xiangkeng?
The problem is very simple, because we have to have quotas for transportation here, and they are a foreign company, so they have no idea who to contact to request wagons.
As long as you can get a wagon, you can bring corn from the Northeast and sell it to them. You can make at least three million yuan a year."
"Three...three million?" Lou Yuchun was dumbfounded, speechless.
"No more, no less."
Nan Yi looked at Lou Yuchun with a smile on his face, waiting to see his next reaction.
Lou Yuchun's loss of composure only lasted for a moment, and he quickly regained his composure, "I can't do it. This business is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Haha, I'm just telling you there is such a way. If you want to expand your wholesale business, you can't just think about getting goods from Shanghai. Shanghai has a lot of industrial products, and everyone knows that what you can get, many people can get it. It won't be long before you will face competition.
But it’s different if you get it from the north or the south. The road is not easy, but once you connect it together, you can do exclusive business for a long time.
So, don’t just think about staying at home. Our country is big, and the world is big too. Go out and take a look. Business opportunities are everywhere.”
"I should go out and take a look. It turns out that I am just like a guard dog. I dare not leave this small piece of land. The farthest I dare to go is Shanghai. I am still too timid."
"Tea."
Nan Yi picked up the cup and gestured to Lou Yuchun.
Lou Yuchun listened, picked up the cup and was about to take a sip, but suddenly, he paused, put the cup down and said, "It's getting late, I'd better leave first. Can I come to disturb you tomorrow?"
"Of course, we'll meet at the entrance of Yiwu Hotel at 6pm tomorrow."
"Okay, okay."
As soon as Lou Yuchun left, Ueto Masami came over from her room.
"President, have we been talking for so long?"
"Well, the addiction to being a teacher got to me, so I talked a little more."
"So you think highly of him?"
"Not bad." Nan Yi nodded and said, "This person will be handed over to you in the future. You have to control when to invest and when to stop losses."
"Hayi."
