Chapter 37 Cooperation
For Pei Yixiao, if he was alone in this environment, he might feel very depressed.Except for Pei Yiming, the other three people, except for Su Xun who seemed to him to be more easy-going, Jiang Chengying and Lu Guantao were not good birds.
Needless to say, Lu Guantao is eccentric and moody.When he was gentle, like when he was hugging that boy named Qiangzi, his eyes were so soft that water could flow out of his eyes, but when facing him, he was either indifferent or fierce.Well, don't think about Lu Guantao anymore, it doesn't matter who he treats well, it has nothing to do with me!
To Jiang Chengying, Pei Yixiao had a fear of the weak facing the strong.Jiang Chengying was the burliest of them. He was not a muscular man with explosive shape, but a big-boned man with tendons. It looked like he was nearly 1 meters tall!Those arms and legs are so strong that they are not easy to mess with at first glance.Pei Yixiao kept a respectful distance, not daring to provoke this person, it could be seen that this person didn't like him very much.
But today Pei Yiming was present, and as soon as the second brother's gentle aura overwhelmed, Pei Yixiao was at peace.He turned on the computer, called up his copywriting, and continued to conceive.The keyboard is occasionally a little noisy, but it's mostly quiet.
Pei Yiming thought for a while, then called out, "Xiao Xiao, come here and have some tea first."
Pei Yixiao looked back, "No need." He didn't want to sit there.
"Ok."
Su Xun was making tea with extremely unauthentic and awkward gestures.People who usually eat with chopsticks can't knock the bowl, but now they make the teapot and cups clink, and the water splashes everywhere...
Lu Guantao observed for a while, then nodded, "Sure enough, the tea didn't taste very good just now, so there's a reason for it."
Su Xun is a young master, always carefree, "I've seen other people making tea is not so difficult... Hey, who of you can make tea?"
Lu Guantao smoked a cigarette and turned his head to one side.
Pei Yiming smiled, "You asked us to come, of course you make it yourself."
Jiang Chengying still couldn't get used to it, "Fuck, according to your brewing method, you will spoil all the good tea, forget it, let me come." Changed places with Su Xun.
Su Xun was happy to be the shopkeeper and waited for the good tea to drink.
Jiang Chengying is an old man, so his movements are naturally not as gentle as a little girl's, but he is really orderly, and he is also full of rules for making tea.After a while, everyone brought a small open celadon cup and sipped tea.
Pei Yiming took a sip and put down the cup, "Okay, Su Xun, what is the cooperation you mentioned last time?"
Su Xun was closing his eyes and shaking his head to savor the fragrance of tea. Hearing this, he opened his eyes, "Well, that's what I'm talking about today. Let's put it this way, I know that you have actually made a lot of investments in private, not to mention Chengying, Mingli There are a lot of properties in secret, Guantao definitely has one, Yiming, you have always kept a low profile, but I believe that you will not really be empty-handed."
Several people were noncommittal, sipping tea.
Su Xun didn't expect to get any answers at all, so he continued: "I am here at Tianqin, and there is actually no challenge. When I was still in Europe last year, I went to some small towns in Italy and found that the old brands there There are simply too many. Handmade workshops, traditional ones, clothes, shoes, all kinds of exquisite weaving products, leather products, the ancient family has been continuing these handmade products. If you bring them to a big city, they are luxury goods!"
This is true. In the past two years, many people in China have gone to Europe to buy old family workshop brands. The purchase price is not high, and then a large number of domestic handmade products are imported. When the products are brought to China, they suddenly become high-end luxury goods. , The price has doubled by hundreds or thousands of times, which is simply huge profits.These few people have heard of it a long time ago, but they just feel that such a business does not seem to be a large scale, and it is nothing.
Su Xun didn't think so, "I don't agree with those small-scale acquisitions of a single brand. I think that if we want to do it, we must build an integrated luxury group."
As soon as these words came out, several people felt a little interesting.
"Don't you think that there are many people in China now under the banner of luxury goods and customization, and young designers claim to be so-and-so. Actually, is that also called luxury goods, hehe." Su Xun was very disdainful. .
The cigarette on Lu Guantao's finger was burning, and he beat the drum with his finger, "Just speak your mind."
Su Xun smiled. He originally planned to sell something, but it seems that he didn't mean it. These people are all good people, so there is no need to play those tricks. He said seriously: "I want to set up a luxury goods group. In fact, rich people in China There are so many people, I don’t believe that Bernard Arnault’s money will be much more than yours. Why can’t we have our own luxury group? It’s because European luxury brands have always looked down on our Yanhuang Republic. People think that we can only be consumers, but not producers and owners. In fact, our culture and heritage are not better than theirs?" Su Xun paused, "This is actually a roundabout thing, there is no need to directly Come forward to handle it. I know that because the people in the southeastern provinces are doing too much trouble in Europe, they are collectively boycotting us now. Whenever Chinese people go to buy, they basically adopt a non-cooperative attitude. This is also considered It was disturbed by the people from the southeast."
A few people faintly understood.
"That's why you're called Shang Chengying?" Lu Guantao said without thinking.
"Hey," Su Xun rubbed his fingers, "Of course."
Pei Yiming was interested, and crossed his hands, "Be more specific."
"I found an agent in the United States and registered a trading company. I have been preparing for it for a few years, and it is quite impressive now," Su Xun said lightly, "Use the name of that company to acquire old European companies. Family brands, the other party’s acceptance will be relatively high. My plan is to mobilize country by country and take down all small family brands in Europe without background. This number cannot be calculated. As for those that have been acquired, except for three Regardless of those belonging to the big luxury goods group, as long as the rest are bought by Southeast Province and have a little bit of fame, Chengying should be asked to take care of them..."
Jiang Chengying didn't even lift her eyelids, she just snorted.
"In addition, our domestic industry basically does not need to be shaken, while there is no need to show up at all. No one will know that we are operating secretly."
"Your idea is good, but you won't be able to see the benefits in the short term. I understand what you mean. You probably don't have enough weight alone, so you're looking for us. Then what can guarantee our interests? "Pei Yiming also lit a cigarette.
"In the early stage, a lot of investment is required, and I don't deny it." Su Xun is very serious, "But this is an opportunity to establish a long-term international brand. One or two generations, or even three or five generations, will continue to make profits. Now domestic brands only pursue short-term interests. , I can’t see the long-term foundation construction effect, such an enterprise, when it introduces a large number of ancient brands, it must not be able to resist, and that part of the market will also belong to us.”
Several people were thinking about it and kept silent.It’s not that Su Xun has never thought about what Su Xun said, but no one is willing to do it.Firstly, the time limit and front line are stretched too long, and no one is willing to do such a thing. Second, as he said, they just want to do it. Europe is afraid of domestic people’s means of making money like locusts crossing the border, and they are unwilling to cooperate any more. .
The current princelings are more willing to control large domestic state-owned groups or self-created enterprises, have more policy preferences, and have more resources to use.But once he resigns, once he loses some power, who knows what the result will be, and it is possible to make wedding clothes for others.
Su Xun is now the top executive of Tianqin in the future, but Tianqin is not his family, he is alone.His sense of belonging is not strong.
It takes dozens or even hundreds of years to establish a brand, and bringing these brands together will produce huge economic and cultural benefits.What could be more exciting than building a brand empire of your own.
Su Xun went on to say: "You may consider that even if such a group company is established, we cannot stand up and declare our identity blatantly. In fact, identity is not important, the key lies in the psychological enjoyment we get. Moreover, the name is not It’s ours, but the money is really ours. We don’t need to make a big show in the country, and I believe you are not such people. However, we can buy land, palaces, and islands, and we can even become a European The prince or duke of this kingdom... Don't be surprised, I donated a very small kingdom in Europe called the Kingdom of Manasen, about 25 euros, the king was so happy that he has already awarded me the title of duke. Show you my badge."
There are indeed such small countries in Europe, and there are quite a few. It takes dozens of hours to drive around the border. Such countries have their own politics, laws, police, and army, and the United Nations recognizes their status.
Jiang Chengying, Lu Guantao, and Pei Yiming have never stayed abroad for a long time.Although I also understand the world economy, after all, I haven't personally investigated or considered it.So Su Xun's suggestion is actually very exciting.
Su Xun is still saying: "In addition to luxury goods, there are actually many good things. For example, olive oil and wine. Not to mention wine, now everyone goes to Europe to buy vineyards and become winery owners. I It is definitely not recommended to go this way, it is already rotten. But I suggest to buy the olive garden, ham workshop, cheese workshop... In the future, healthy food will definitely become the first and most important luxury of the upper class, who Would you like to eat food that has been eroded by unscrupulous traders in China? I have been to a small Italian olive oil workshop, and I ate fresh olive oil, which is fragrant and moist, and the bread is first-class..."
It seems that Su Xun really has a lot of ideas. Several people have no expression on their faces, but they have already started to make plans in their hearts.
"Is the person you are looking for reliable?" Jiang Chengying didn't like to talk nonsense and asked directly.
"I believe Chengying, like me, feels that no one is reliable except yourself," Su Xun smiled again, "So it's not that I don't trust this person, but I don't think the temptation is too great now, and he still Loyalty, what about in the future? Staring at him for several years, I am really tired, so I want to invite Chengying to join. Facing temptation, no one can refuse, but if threats are greater than temptation, then If you want to accept the temptation, you have to weigh it carefully..."
What Su Xun meant was that Jiang Chengying needed to use his own means to suppress the agent.Just relying on it is useless, there must be a way to hide in the dark, just in case.
Jiang Chengying smiled wickedly, "So that's how it is. It's a lie to ask me to fix Zhao Guochao, but it's true to want to use my Dao resources. Let me just say, a mere director of the Land Bureau, how can you, Mr. Su, not deal with it?"
Su Xun heheed twice, then turned to Pei Yiming and Lu Guantao and said, "I'll just speak the truth. I observed it for a year, and in the capital, only you two have the capacity and courage to accept my idea."
In other words, Mr. Su didn't pay attention to others.Only the two of them are on the same level as him.
Lu Guantao didn't think he was very honored. He had heard many compliments like this since he was a child, so he just crossed his arms and said, "You are raising yourself up."
Pei Yiming laughed, "Sugar-coated cannonballs are useless. You can't make a decision with just a few words."
"OK!" Su Xun raised his hand again, "I know, this is the first time we have met in the Quartet, and I didn't expect to get it so soon—"
His words were interrupted by Jiang Chengying, "I agree, I can join."
Su Xun was a little surprised, "...your request."
"Land and islands, and the status of a small kingdom, I am very interested in this." Jiang Chengying is a gangster, and despite the current scenery, he has done a lot of bloody business.Besides, now he still has support and supporters behind him. If the backstage changes his mind in the future and pushes him out, his fate will be miserable.He has to think about the rest of his life.
Su Xun understood his thoughts and just nodded, "That's no problem. As long as you want, I can take you to the Kingdom of Manathon, where I am the duke, after a while. It's easy. The king doesn't have to give birth, he just wants to maintain a royal life, Naturally, it depends on our funding. Naturally, we have the final say when the time comes. Even these identities can be used in our group company in the future."
Jiang Chengying readily agreed.Lu Guantao hesitated to speak, but finally nodded, "I want to think about it."
Pei Yiming also meant the same thing.
For this sake, Su Xun actually knew that it was already half the battle.
While drinking tea, several people chatted about other things.
Pei Yiming looked back frequently, only to see that Pei Yixiao had been writing and revising, as if nothing they said had affected him.Sometimes feeling his gaze, Pei Yixiao would look up at him and then smile.Pei Yixiao also smiled back at him.
Lu Guantao was next to him, so naturally he often saw Pei Yiming's soft eyes.
He couldn't help but speak, and happened to be at the moment when the two brothers were smiling at each other, and said in a casual tone: "Yiming, Xiang Wan is still traveling abroad, and he will probably be back at the end of the year. See you then."
Lu Xiangwan is Lu Guantao's cousin.There are not many people in his family, there are only two brothers in his father's generation, and the only male in this generation is Lu Guantao, and the girl is Lu Xiangwan, the daughter of his uncle's family.Lu Xiangwan has been studying abroad since she was a child, accompanied by her mother, and rarely returns to China.During the few encounters with her, Lu Guantao felt that this little cousin had a pretty good personality, innocent and cute.He was not very willing to let her get married for the benefit of the family, even if it was Pei Yiming, he was not very in favor of it at first.But at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to mention this matter.
Pei Yiming froze.This matter was mentioned at the beginning of the year. It was originally promised to come back from the summer vacation, but later Lu Xiangwan said he couldn't come back, so that's all.He also breathed a sigh of relief, he really never thought of getting married so early.Lu Guantao mentioned it suddenly, which caught people off guard.But when he saw that Pei Yixiao had heard it too, and looked at him blankly, he seemed to have caught something in his heart, and vaguely glimpsed Lu Guantao's intentions when he mentioned this at this time, but that sliver of understanding was still there. flashed by.
"Well." Pei Yiming nodded, "Yes." The two elders seem to have reached a consensus on this matter, and it is useless for him to object.Take one step at a time.
Pei Yixiao was actually thinking, what about that girl?But don't be like Lu Guantao...
Su Xun was watching Jiang Chengying's tea making technique.At this moment, it is time to make Tieguanyin, which needs hot pot and hot water. Jiang Chengying skillfully heats up the pot, puts the tea into it, wraps the pot with a towel and shakes it for a few times, then opens it, adds hot water, and the fragrance of tea overflows .
"I said Chengying, let me give you a suggestion for the J club." Su Xun lazily leaned on the back of the chair, "Everything is good in your place, but the privacy is not enough. There is only one gate, not even a secret door. The parking lot also extends in all directions, so how can it work? There must be a VIP passage. People like us, it doesn’t matter if you come in and out casually, but there are some big people who like this, such as promising officials like Guan Tao, you How do you tell him to get in and out?"
Lu Guantao let out a "tss".
Jiang Chengying raised his eyelids to look at Su Xun, "I want to go with you. That's what I mean."
"I heard that General Zheng also went a few days ago?" Pei Yiming said casually.
"You have eyeliner." Jiang Chengying added tea to everyone's cups, "Of course it's not just him, there are indeed a few big bosses. I opened the J club just for fun, who knew it would be so popular. I recently wanted to close down for a while. Time, and then add something to that building, there must be several doors, special elevators, and secret passages.”
"Well, the people there are nice. After Xiao Fei'er has taken care of her, I want to see if there are any better children..." Su Xun said in a low voice.
Jiang Chengying squinted at him.
Pei Yixiao continued to rack his brains to fight against his plan. "Riverside Mansions", living by the water, with tens of thousands of mansions...
The author has something to say:
================
The name of the country that appears in this chapter is the "Yanhuang Republic".
This article is not empty.It's just that many things involve certain aspects, and we cannot directly mention our country's name.
The Kingdom of Manathon is really the epitome of several small European countries.
This chapter can be regarded as a golden finger for the future protagonists.
In terms of economics, I don't know much, and I hope that there will be a master of the technical party to give me some advice.
