Thanks to Qiao Laohu for transferring this club to me, for more than a week, I have basically entered the upper class circle in Shanghai. For a week, I attended all kinds of dinners, private banquets, and private parties. I ate a cigar, wore a neat dress, and shiny leather shoes, and wandered among those billionaires or powerful people.
Because of the information collected by the old fox for many years, I can easily know the other party's preferences, weaknesses, and other detailed information before contacting the other party.
When you deliberately want to make friends with a person, and you also know all the preferences and habits of the other person, then this matter will become very easy.
So, in a week, in Shanghai's upper circles, the young talent Chen Yang has become a social celebrity and a newcomer in Shanghai's social circles.
I have no foundation in the country, and the convenience brought to me by these big figures can be said to be huge!
The operation of Shanghai Huaxing Company, the import and export business, requires several approval documents from the competent foreign economic and trade department, but I made a phone call to a minister I met at the banquet the night before, and the approval documents were delivered to my office in the afternoon. A rich man took a fancy to a piece of land in Puxi. I learned the inside information and immediately bought the shares of a listed company under his name on the same day. As a result, two days later, the news that the company had bid for the land came out, and the stock rose sharply. , I also earn a small fortune.
For another example, a rich man from Zhejiang intends to sell products to North America. I talked with him all night and drank a bottle of good wine at the banquet. The next day his goods can enter Canada in the name of my company. And I was escorted by my customs relationship network in Canada all the way. And in return... I got the right to distribute his products at a price 10% lower than the market price.
I have to say that in this circle, doing business is actually that simple.
"Walking around these rich people's circles every day, getting a few random news, or leaking a little from their fingers, is enough for you to make a small fortune." This is the old fox's original words, and I have fully experienced it this week.
In any country, doing business requires connections. This is an accepted fact.
…
"Don't you think it's a pity?" Yang Wei watched as I withdrew the headquarters of Huaxing Company in North America to Shanghai, and only Xi Luo was left behind in North America... That kid was still having a hot fight with his niece Xu Xin. It seems that he is reluctant to leave.
"What a pity?"
Yang Wei sighed: "The cause of Canada was created with great difficulty by you."
"I'm Chinese." I said lightly, "I'm yellow-skinned, black-haired, and black-eyed. Canada, after all, isn't our territory. You're right. With hard work and luck, I gained the upper hand for a while, but it took a long time. , Will they tolerate a Chinese standing on top of their heads all the time? It’s ridiculous that I naively thought that I could always control the smuggling business there.”
Yang Wei felt relieved: "I have long wanted to persuade you that in the smuggling business there, you can earn some capital a few years ago, but in the long run, it will be difficult for you to control it. After all, in Canada, you are just borrowing The real strength in your hands is not enough to control the situation there. Think about it, your real power does not actually occupy an absolute advantage. Even in Vancouver, the combined power of those gangsters is enough to swallow Lose you. If a small gang in one place controls the entire west coast smuggling business, it’s walking a tightrope. Something will go wrong one day. If you can figure it out so early, I’m relieved.”
Speaking of this, Yang Wei frowned and said: "Actually, I have also received news. Do you think those smuggling groups at sea are really willing to pay you a large amount of protection fees every year? In fact, they have never given up on making small tricks secretly. Several gangsters are in contact with them, but you have been gaining momentum, so no one dares to oppose you. But after a long time, people's greed cannot be controlled."
"I will choose to slowly fade out of the underworld." I smiled: "The years of underworld career in North America have accumulated a lot of capital for me. With money in hand, I am willing to be a legal businessman in China... Of course, I will not completely give up on the influence of Canada... Even if the company's headquarters is moved to Shanghai, at least there is still a Huaxing gang there! Haha... I will slowly let go of the smuggling business in a few years, The protection fee will be canceled slowly, let the local gangsters fight for it, Xi Luo will keep it there, and we will slowly start the smuggling business by ourselves.
Yang Wei hesitated for a moment: "Actually... have you considered that if you want to get the most development, in fact your best choice is not to go back to China... but to go to the United States!"
U.S…
I frown.
Yang Wei said sternly: "Your power in Canada has reached a critical point. If you continue to develop, unless you start to confront the Hells Angels head-on. But this seems unrealistic. Hells Angels are better as allies. Then You have a strong foundation. You have the friendship of the biggest gangster in Canada, and... my uncle also counts you as a friend. You have a huge network in the entertainment industry in the United States. And... Martin of the Rothschild family Your business partner. This kind of foundation can almost make anyone envious and jealous. If you can take advantage of these conditions and enter the US market with sufficient funds and people, within five years, you may be able to establish Let's start a family! And in China..." Yang Wei smiled wryly, shaking his head.
Indeed, it has to be said that from the perspective of the external environment, the domestic market is far less free and open than the United States. After all, America is a proven adventurer's paradise.
"Build a family..." I closed my eyes and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Sounds very tempting... But, there must be a lot of things to do... Do you want to start a movie business? Lishan Film Company is a partnership with the Rothschild family. I am not very interested in making movies, although this industry is very profitable. As for going to the underworld... what lies in front of me is the American Mafia, and the Gambino family must want to Touched... Alas, Wei Wei, I’m actually a little tired of it. Underworld, I’m a little tired of it. Maybe I’ll do something in the future, but at the moment, I need to get rid of these things in the country first, so that I can feel at ease.”
"The end of the country..." Yang smiled: "The things in the big circle, the moves you played are very beautiful, I feel that I have nothing to help you. Even if I make a move, it is impossible to play more It's beautiful. Now Leihu is definitely finished, it's just a matter of time. And Qinghong... the prefixes of Tian and Di are not meant to embarrass you. As for the prefix of hr, everyone knows that it will not grow. ... the only thing left, is ... "
"It's Ye Huan."
…
What is Ye Huan doing
In fact, Ye Huan must be very troubled recently.
Because, taking advantage of the jewelry and diamond business, I blatantly brought the Huaxing company's signboard back to Nanjing!
In cooperation with the "Baoqing Jinlou" jeweler in Nanjing, I will not simply sell diamonds to them. Our final negotiating terms are: cooperation.
The content of the cooperation also includes that I will invest a sum of money and then formally participate in this century-old jeweler.
Just two days later, after intense renovation, Baoqing's main store officially launched a new activity after the renovation, and announced that the company officially cooperated with Huaxing Company. At the same time, the activity of "Baoqing Huaxing, Bright Light, Diamond Week" was launched.
The public announcement is that Baoqing Company's partner, Huaxing Company, which is currently in the limelight, will use its relationship in Canada to formally invest in the domestic jewelry industry, and from then on, Baoqing Company will obtain the supply of diamond products from Canada!
And everything is legal (at least on paper and in name).
The branch of Huaxing Company in Canada has obtained the right to distribute diamonds. Canada is the third largest diamond producing country in the world. Under the name of Huaxing Company, a large part of all the diamonds I will sell to Baoqing Jinlou will be in the future. Labeled with Canadian origin.
Taking this opportunity, I put the Huaxing company's signboard, formally and openly, under Ye Huan's nose!
It's not that Ye Huan didn't want to cause trouble for me, or he didn't do something secretly. But since my last assassination, my protest against Wu Gang has also played a big role.
After all, my return to China was approved by relevant parties, and my trip to Africa also contributed to the country. Their promise to me is: legitimate business will be protected.
My previous accident had made Wu Gang's people feel ashamed, so this time I openly set foot in the jewelry industry, and received extra attention from the relevant parties, even if someone wanted to make trouble for me secretly... they couldn't get involved!
The "Baoqing·Huaxing, Brilliant Light, Diamond Week" received a lot of response. In order to support the appearance, I used the friendship I built up to invite many rich people to join in the show, and many rich people were exhibited on the spot Those high-quality diamonds are attracted, and thus big checks are bought.
And I remembered the hostage kidnapping incident in the Torch Building in the United States. After waiting for inspiration from that event, I simply spent money to invite some domestic entertainment stars to participate, and let those handsome men and women wear our diamond jewelry Acting as a guest is better than any advertisement.
The cooperation of the media also exposed this matter under the spotlight of the media. In such a situation, it is difficult for Ye Huan to make a move.
Hmph, pressing harder and harder! This feeling must make Ye Huan very uncomfortable...
