Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0512: East Wind Overwhelms West Wind
Yang Shanqing took Yang Kaiyan to Changhe Woolen Mill, and then took her to several places in Beijing where there were many people selling clothes.
After reading it, Yang Kaiyan immediately looked at Yang Shanqing with admiration. She had to admit that Yang Shanqing had a good eye. Opening a clothing wholesale market in the capital at this time would definitely have promising prospects.
"Shanqing, your project is great. You don't have to think about asking my dad for a loan. I can get the money."
"Really? Thank you, cousin." Yang Shanqing said happily.
"Don't get so excited. I'm not lending it to you. I'm investing in you. You came up with the project, the wholesale market idea. I can give you 20 percent of it. The rest will be calculated as shares based on the investment amount."
"P what?"
"20% of the shares." Yang Kaiyan explained.
It was not a loan, but an investment, which made Yang Shanqing a little disappointed. He was very optimistic about the wholesale market business and had never thought of sharing it with others.
However, he did not refuse directly, but said: "Cousin, let me think about it, and I will reply to you later."
"No problem, you can take your time to think about it. But, you need to reach an agreement with Changhe Wool Textile as soon as possible. The contract period needs to be extended, and the payment method needs to be in installments. A payment every ten years would take up too much capital. In a country with a very mature market economy, this is impossible. No businessman would accept this method."
"Okay, I'll ask An Guoping out tonight and have a good talk with him."
"OK, I'm going back to the hotel and wait for a call. Notify me if there's any news." Yang Kaiyan pulled the strap on her shoulder with one hand, and used the other hand to support the bottom of the backpack, straightening it, and then walked away.
When Yang Kaiyan walked away, Yang Shanqing spat on the ground, "Bah, you fake foreigner, why are you pretending to be with me? You even want to invest? What the hell."
Yang Shanqing vented for a while, then turned and left.
There is an idiom called "情深友于", where "友于" means brotherly love, which means to compare the good relationship between two people to brotherhood.
But in fact, there are very few brothers who can stick together; especially after both brothers have started their own families, it is rare for them to continue to maintain a close relationship.
The same goes for the brothers Yang Chaoshan and Yang Chaogang. They only maintain a superficial brotherly relationship. Only God knows how much brotherhood is left in their bones.
The interactions between cousin Yang Shanqing and cousin Yang Kaiyan were polite but lacked the intimacy that should exist. It can be seen that the relationship between the two families is not very good.
This is not surprising, as many people have turned the word "relative" from a verb into a noun.
Yang Shanqing bought some things on the way, turned east and right to go to the Drum Tower, and then turned into Nanluoguxiang.
Pushing open a door and walking into a courtyard, I saw a man in his thirties sitting under a tree in the yard, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan and enjoying the cool air.
"Young Master Yang, you're back. Please sit down. I'll make you a pot of tea."
"Old Zhou, stop working and let's have a conversation."
If Nan Yi saw this Old Zhou, he would definitely say "Fuck", maybe twice.
Who else could it be but Zhou Maode?
"Mr. Yang, are things not going well?" Zhou Maode said cautiously.
Yang Shanqing said angrily: "It's not that things are not going well. It's just that borrowing money is out of the question. People want to invest."
"Young Master Yang, whether it's investment or borrowing money, as long as the wholesale market is in our hands, shouldn't we do the accounting?"
Yang Shanqing paused and laughed, "That's right, we still have the final say, hahahaha!"
…
"Master Nan."
"Liuzi, come quickly, the lamb kebabs are freshly grilled."
Nan Yi sat on a low stool, holding a handful of lamb skewers in his hand.
Sun Changzheng brought Huang Xia and Luo Tong to Nan Yi and also sat on the low stool.
Nan Yi distributed the mutton skewers to the three people one by one and kicked the wooden beer box beside him. "The beer has only been frozen for two hours. It's not too cold. Let's drink it."
As he spoke, Nan Yi took out a bottle from the wooden box, pinched the bottle cap with his fingers, and pulled it off.
Nan Yi's move shocked Huang Xia and Luo Tong, and they thought to themselves: "This Master Nan has some skills."
In fact, they had no idea that Nan Yi was already cursing in his heart, "Damn it, I was impulsive and didn't pinch it properly. It really fucking hurts."
Pulling the bottle cap off with bare hands may seem mysterious, but it is actually nothing special. Any rock climbing enthusiast can do it. All it requires is finger strength and endurance.
Endurance is especially important. If you can't help it and scream in pain, then the force will be ruined.
Nan Yi picked up the wine, and the other three also took a bottle each. They opened the bottle in different ways, some bit it with their teeth, some pried it with chopsticks, and some knocked it on the edge of a stool.
"Come on, one for each." Nan Yi held out his wine bottle and clinked it with the three of them. "Don't drink too quickly. There's plenty of wine. Drink slowly."
After saying that, Nan Yi put the bottle of wine into his mouth and blew a big whiff.
Sun Changzheng and Luo Tong put the bottle down after drinking half of it, but the woman Huang Xia kept the bottle upright, gulping it down, as if she wanted to blow it away in one breath.
Huang Xia drank the whole bottle of wine, and she even turned the bottle upside down to show it to others provocatively.
Dry!
If a woman has already blown it, how can three men admit defeat?
There was no choice. Although Nan Yi was unwilling, he still put the bottle back into his mouth and drank it all in one breath.
All three of them drank it up, and then the four of them opened a new bottle each.
Holding the bottle, Huang Xia wanted to put the wine in her mouth again, but Nan Yi quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Huang Saner, don't drink it so quickly. We still have important things to discuss. Let's drink later."
"Uncle Nan, it's okay. Just go ahead and do your thing. My mouth smells a bit like alcohol. Let me rinse my mouth." Huang Xia said bluntly.
Huang Xia and Huang Saner are both children of the Material Bureau and childhood sweethearts of Men Saner. In the early years, Men Saner and Huang Saner, the two Saners, made a big name for themselves and were nicknamed the two ugly men of the Material Bureau by people in the society.
If anyone wants to go to the compound of the Material Bureau to fight, the one who stands in front of them is definitely Huang Saner. Although she is a woman, she fights without regard for her life and specializes in attacking people's lower body. Therefore, she has a nickname "bad guy" who specializes in ruining other people's eggs.
If Nan Yi hadn't instructed Men San'er last year to tell anyone who worked for them and had a dirty background to go to the south to avoid the limelight, Huang San'er would most likely have been in trouble.
"You are really a toad yawning." Nan Yi nodded at Huang Saner, and then said to Sun Changzheng: "Sixth son, how is the situation?"
"Master Nan, the three of us followed Yang Shanqing all day today, all the way to Nanluoguxiang, and we met an acquaintance."
"who?"
"Master Nan, do you still remember the person you asked me to keep an eye on at Jingda?"
"Hey, Zhou Maode, why is this guy hanging out with Yang Shanqing?" Nan Yi muttered, and said, "Is the stall closed?"
"I've already exchanged them out, and got back more than twenty of them."
"Liu Zi, you are very good. You know how to run a chain business and share profits with others. It's just that your farming skills are a little crooked. Otherwise, I wouldn't call you this time and let you continue with your business."
"Hehe, Nan Yi, don't you know how capable I am? If it weren't for you and the Third Master's care, there would be no way I, Sixth Son, would be where I am today." Sun Changzheng scratched his head and said.
"No need to say polite words, take it." Nan Yi took out three pieces of paper and handed them to Sun Changzheng, "One for each of you. The papers are all trademark names, the Chinese translations of famous foreign brands. I wrote them a long time ago, and some of them may have been registered.
You can register them. When the foreign brands mentioned above enter our mainland, these trademarks will be valuable and they will buy them from you at a high price.
Look carefully, the string of numbers at the bottom of the paper is the lawyer's phone number. There is a problem of bad faith registration of the trademark. You can call the lawyer for consultation and he will tell you how to avoid this problem. "
Huang Xia took the paper, glanced at it, patted the paper and said, "Master Nan, how much is the thing on this paper worth?"
"That depends on your ability. If you have the ability, it's worth tens of millions. If you can't control it, you might end up eating steamed bread in prison."
“Tens of millions…”
Huang Xia's hand trembled, and the paper in her hand fell and floated towards the charcoal fire in the middle. Seeing that the paper was about to be lit, Huang Xia hurriedly picked up the paper.
"Don't get excited. You have to wait for the money. The back of the paper has the company name corresponding to the trademark. You should pay more attention to it in the future. You should know when they will come in.
There is a saying, I said before, the trademark name above is very valuable, really valuable, don't be stupid and transfer it to others for a small amount of money. If you do so, don't come to me to cry in the future. "
Nan Yi was very happy that those few pieces of paper were finally given away, which was a good idea. The idea of registering a trademark had been on his mind for so long that it was almost forgotten at the bottom of the box.
"Thank you, Master Nan."
Sun Changzheng and the other two looked at each other for a few seconds, then raised their bottles and spoke.
Nan Yi picked up the wine bottle and clinked it with the three people. It was obvious that the three of them had doubts about the tens of millions he said. He did not explain. When the time came, they would naturally believe it.
Although it is a little early to give away the "trademark" now and its maximum value has not been brought into play, it has to be given away. If it is suppressed any further, it will be ruined.
What's more, Nan Yi also wants to create an image of being far-sighted and far-sighted.
Nan Yi and his three companions were eating and drinking when Liu Zhen came to the door in slippers, stared at the mutton skewers in Nan Yi's hand, swallowed hard, then glared at Nan Yi and went back to the living room to continue watching TV.
"Liuzi, most of the electrical appliances are restricted goods now. Reselling them is considered speculation, but some appliances are not restricted. In addition, many color TV and refrigerator production lines have been introduced into the country. It won't be long before the supply of color TV and refrigerator will increase greatly, and there will be fierce competition between factories.
Selling electrical appliances is a good business, and you should know this. Although it is a little early to start now, it is not without benefits. If you start early, you will have enough time to explore the ins and outs of it, and you will also have time to go abroad to see how foreigners sell electrical appliances. "
"If Master Nan says it's good, then it must be good. Just tell me what to do and I'll follow your instructions." Sun Changzheng said politely.
"Okay, then I'll partner with you in this business. I'll put in 4.5 million, you'll put in 500,000, and you'll own 20% of the shares. We're going to open a chain of home appliance stores, starting in Beijing. I think we should find a place in the west of the city for the first store.
Since we started in Beijing and the first store was opened in the west of the city, we might as well call our home appliance store "Jingxi", and the full name is Jingxi Yiguo.
Jingxi, I just show up and you have to do all the hard work, so I took a step back and gave you an extra 10% of the shares.
Not only that, we can also sign a supplementary agreement. Starting from the fifth year, that is, 1989, you can redeem no more than 3.2% of the shares from me every year.
This means that five years later, as long as you have the idea and spend twenty-five years, Jingxi can completely belong to you.
Of course, this is only in theory. We at Jingxi will definitely raise funds in the future, so don’t worry…”
Nan Yi interrupted Sun Changzheng who was about to speak, "I know you don't know what financing means now, let me give you an example, in the future, Jingxi will change from one store to two stores, three stores, and many stores.
It costs money to open a store. When we run out of money to open a new store, we need to bring in a new partner and new money. The process of bringing in a new partner is called financing.
When a new partner comes, we will naturally give him some shares. Then, the shares I hold will not be 80%, but may be 70%, or even less. No matter how much it is, as long as you want to buy, I will sell it to you unconditionally.
By then, you will be the largest shareholder of Jingxi, and Jingxi will become your own business."
"This... Master Nan, is it appropriate to do this? Doesn't this mean that I am borrowing your money to bridge the gap?" Sun Changzheng said in fear and trepidation.
"What do you mean by crossing the bridge or not?" Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "Sixth son, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I am definitely optimistic about the home appliance business in the next 20 to 30 years, but I can't see clearly in the long run, and I am not optimistic. I don't want to gamble.
So, when the time comes, if you want to buy shares, I will definitely sell them to you. If you don’t want to buy them, that’s okay too. It’s all up to you to decide.
Remember what I said today, keep it in mind, and when you need to make a decision in the future, think back to what I said, and don’t break off the business relationship with the friend.”
"No, no, Uncle Nan, you will always be my Uncle Nan." Sun Changzheng waved his hands quickly and said.
"Come on, let's finish our business and have a drink." Nan Yi clinked the wine bottle with Sun Changzheng's.
Uncle Nan, he will still be Uncle Nan in Sun Changzheng's mouth in a few years, but by then, the respect in his tone will surely fade away, and in the end, it will turn into perfunctory and mocking. Nan Yi is not surprised at all.
"Huang San'er, don't fight with anyone you catch in the future. There's nothing to investigate in a fight. If you win, you lose money, and if you lose, you go to the hospital. It's not good for either side. In the future, spend more time on making money."
"Master Nan, I will listen to you. I will make more money and check less in the future. Let's go one by one."
Huang Saner had taken off his outer shirt, leaving only a sleeveless vest with large cuffs. He waved his hands, revealing his white flesh from time to time.
But none of the three people present would look at her secretly, and no one regarded Huang Saner as a woman.
"Go one."
Gulp, gulp, and another half bottle went down.
Nan Yi had already drunk his fifth bottle. He seldom drank like this. Normally, he would only drink two bottles at most in one meal.
In his previous life, he was afraid of drinking. During the middle stage of his entrepreneurial career, he had dinner parties at least 280 days out of 365 days a year. "I'm late, I'll drink three cups as a punishment" and "It's my fault, I'll drink three cups as a punishment" were words that Nan Yi often said.
He drank day after day and improved his alcohol tolerance. He could even knock out a donkey weighing two kilograms without getting knocked out. He also trained his throat-scratching technique to the ninth level.
If it weren't for the heroine Huang Saner pushing him today, Nan Yi wouldn't have drunk so much.
The four of them drank slowly, and around eight o'clock, Ye Qi also joined in. The five of them drank until around eleven o'clock before they dispersed, which must have disturbed the neighbors next door.
As a result, Nan Yi ran to the next door to pretend to be a grandson after exercising the next day. Fortunately, as long as he went to the left next door, the right next door had also become Liu Zhen's property.
At nine o'clock, Nan Yi brewed two cups of Huangshan tribute chrysanthemum tea from Shezhou and waited for Ye's arrival.
We were just drinking last night and didn't talk about business.
At 9:10, Ye arrived.
"Is it settled?"
"No."
"Didn't you see my wallet?"
"Incorruptible."
"Oh, when the weather gets cooler, our village plans to organize retired farmers to go out for inspection, travel around, and then go to the Northeast for recuperation and to see the snow. It will take about two months."
“They should. They have worked on the earth all their lives. We grew up eating the food they grew. They have worked hard all their lives and have made great contributions. They deserve to enjoy their life.
I went to Zhao Yuanzhi and told him to pay the rent in full in one lump sum, but he still refused to give in. I didn't notice it at first, but then I realized that Zhao Yuanzhi probably wanted to take another look at Yang Shanqing's side."
"Well, good factory director. Let's wait and see. If the surprise attack doesn't work, we should prepare for a bloody battle." Nan Yi picked up the teacup and said, "It's freshly brewed. The temperature is just right. It can help to get rid of the alcohol."
"Are we just going to wait? Should we take the upper route?"
"Going the upper level route is not a good idea at the moment. What do you think of my Qinghe International plan?"
"Okay, very good. I firmly believe that Qinghe International can make a lot of money."
"If you can see that the plan is well done, then others can see it too. Individuals are subordinate to the organization, and national interests are above personal interests. If a district decides to set up its own clothing wholesale market, we will have nothing to do with it.
We are racing against time to build up the influence of Qinghe International. In the future, if any district wants to build a wholesale market, they will think of bringing us there. After all, we already have experience, and it is better to introduce advanced experience than to start from scratch.”
"I see. If Qinghe International's plan gets out, are you worried that we'll be kicked out?"
"Wherever you go on your trip to Beijing, Qinghe International welcomes you! I've already thought of the slogan, but I don't want to see Qinghe International's plan fail, so it's better to be careful. So, you don't have to go to Qinghe to poke around today. Liuzi will be here soon, you can explain the matter to him and ask him to go to Qinghe to keep an eye on it."
Ye Yu chewed on the slogan Nan Yi said and praised: "This slogan is good, catchy, and you can remember it after saying it once."
Nan Yi smiled knowingly.
He copied this advertising slogan from the Asia Shopping Mall. In his previous life, he had never been to Asia, but the name of the mall has always been engraved in his mind, and he has always been curious about what Asia looks like. As you can imagine, this advertising slogan is quite effective.
The advertisement only takes three seconds and is broadcast on the Imperial TV channel for half a year. People all over the country will know about Beijing Qinghe International, and those who come to Beijing on business will think of visiting it whenever they have the chance.
As long as Qinghe International gains a foothold and makes its name known, it will have a promising future whether it is developing a national chain or just copying and pasting commercial real estate.
Ye took a sip of tea, looked at the chrysanthemum in the teacup, and praised: "This chrysanthemum is good, big enough, and tastes good, sweet with no bitterness, and different from the taste of white chrysanthemum."
"Huangshan Gongju is one of . Compared with Hangzhou chrysanthemum, Chuzhou chrysanthemum and Hao chrysanthemum, I still like this one the most. If you like it, go and buy some later. This chrysanthemum is half wet, so it is best to store it in a lime jar. A rice jar will also work."
"It's too troublesome. I'd rather drink my Gaomo. It's cheap, delicious and convenient."
"Haha, that's strange. I can drink all kinds of tea, but this high-foam tea doesn't taste right to me. Let's go to the mountains someday when we have time, look for Scutellaria baicalensis and Maojian tea, and make some Scutellaria baicalensis tea and Maojian tea ourselves."
"I know Scutellaria baicalensis, but is there Maojian in the capital?" Ye Qi asked curiously.
"I'm not talking about the Maojian tea. I'm talking about the Yanqinglan tea, which can be found in Mentougou and Fangshan."
"Oh, you're talking about Maojian grass. Maojian and Maojian sound similar. I haven't been to the mountains for several years. I really need to go there when I have time. I'll take my air gun and shoot some sparrows to roast and eat."
"Forget about the sparrows. Let's spare them and let them recover first. We did a terrible job of killing them when we were exterminating the four pests. If you really want to hunt, go to the grasslands and hunt wolves or gazelles. It doesn't matter what it is. Too much or too little is not good. Too much is as bad as too little."
"Nan Batian, what you said is wrong. The more money the better. If all the money in the world belonged to us, our life would be wonderful."
"If all this money belongs to us, then it won't be called money anymore." Nan Yi said, and heard a faint knock on the courtyard door. "Okay, Liuzi should be here. You guys go talk about things. I'll go to the comic book stand at the corner of the street to read a book."
"You're old, and you're still reading comic books?"
"Mr. Liu Jiyou has passed away. I haven't read his book Wu Song Fighting the Tiger yet. Let's go to the bookstall and have a look."
"Tsk tsk, then your childhood must have been miserable. You haven't even read this book." Ye Qi said with a smack of his lips.
"Yeah, miserable childhood."
Nan Yi walked into the yard and said a few words to Sun Changzheng, then went out and walked towards the south intersection of South Street.
In the past two days, a new bookstall has appeared at the South Street intersection. The stall owner is a student. Ordinary books cost two cents each, and good ones cost four cents each, which is one cent cheaper than other places.
Fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, he strolled to the bookstall, stuck the fan behind his back, and began to search through the pile of books. After a while, he found the book he wanted to read, "Wu Song Fights the Tiger".
"Young boss, is this book good or not?" Holding the book in his hand, Nan Yi asked the student who was watching the stall.
