"Yeah?"
Kang Shaojie smiled and stopped asking.
He knew that Lorraine should be a person with some status, but seeing that Lorraine was unwilling to say more, he stopped asking any more questions. Kang Shaojie still had some discernment in this regard.
But the more I talked to Lorraine, the more mysterious she became.
... The morning tea with Kang Shaojie was very simple. Each person had a cup of tea and breakfast, and they talked about some irrelevant topics.
"Lorraine, are you majoring in economics too?" Kang Shaojie suddenly asked after putting down his tea cup.
Lorraine nodded: "Well, in order to help the family's business in the future, Kang Shaojie, your Kang family probably has an unusual status in Yanjing City, right?"
Kang Shaojie took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Haha, let's keep this a secret. If it spreads to Jinghua University, it will probably affect Mengmeng's studies. I don't want her to be disturbed."
"Haha, I am quite happy to have a sister who is loved by my brother."
"But my younger sister's temper is a little too arrogant. I usually can't do anything with her..." Kang Shaojie shook his head helplessly, "But what makes our family very happy is that Mengmeng is very smart. Do you know whether the two A small-scale financial crisis that broke out in the Central Plains two years ago? A one-month period of inflation known as the 'little plague'?"
When Lorraine heard this, he paused for a moment, then searched his memory, recalling that around 2003 or 2004, there was a small financial whirlwind in Jiangnan Province, including some neighboring provincial cities. Since Lorraine was reborn and returned in mid-2005, things that happened in 2003 or 2004 are very vague. Maybe to Kang Shaojie, it only happened two years ago, but to Lorraine However, more than twenty years have passed, and the impression has long been blurred.
However, Lorraine remembered that during that time, even buying a cup of soy milk was extremely expensive, two or three times more expensive than the normal price. Because Lorraine did not live in an ordinary working-class family, she did not know that firewood and rice were expensive. It is said that spinach at that time rose to five yuan a pound. This situation in the Central Plains region was enough to show the severe inflation at that time.
Lorraine didn't know the reason back then, but now he is slightly aware that when inflation suddenly occurs, a large-scale business whirlwind is expected to follow. If his guess is correct, , there must have been someone who was causing trouble in it, and then banned a certain position that was very profitable, right
As his thoughts gradually began to tangle, Lorraine looked at Kang Shaojie.
I don’t know, what does a small inflationary whirlwind that lasted for one month, which is not a financial crisis at all, have to do with Kang Mengmeng’s intelligence
Kang Shaojie looked at Lorraine's slightly confused expression, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "To be honest, the small-scale inflation that lasted for nearly a month was planned by our Kang family. At that time, in order to help open up the market for the food and drinks of a food factory under our name, we chose to make some moves in the Central Plains, such as Jiangnan Province and Huai'an Province, where the income level is considered good, but the per capita consumption level is not too high. Let's start by investing a lot of money, control the currency profits in some urban areas, raise the prices of some daily necessities and some food, and stimulate consumption. When everyone adapts to the consumption rhythm, we The food from Na Food Factory under the Kang family has officially entered the Central Plains regional market."
"For example, in the eyes of consumers in the Central Plains region who have adapted to low consumption, a juice originally priced at 5 yuan a bottle is slightly more expensive, so they should not choose it, but choose those Drinks cost three or four yuan. But when the general consumption level rises, people subconsciously don’t think that a bottle of juice that costs 5 yuan is too expensive, so they will try to buy it. Of course, they want to For consumers to accept the product, the quality must also pass the test.”
When Kang Shaojie said this, Lorraine had already guessed some reasons: "I understand, in this way, the original obstacle of not being able to open the market due to price reasons, because of inflation, gave you an opportunity to open the market. ... You have a period of one Month's intervention in inflation has achieved its goal. Even after the inflation ends, your market has been fully opened, you have some inherent consumer groups, and your reputation has been established. The sales volume of your products has Although there will be a slight decline, it will be enough to make a profit."
"Quite correct." Kang Shaojie grinned, "Although this method seems disgraceful, you should have heard the saying that no business can be done without treachery. Although a lot of cost was invested when intervening in the currency. , but after a period of product sales, the investment was quickly recovered, and this is the principle of taking a long-term view to catch big fish.”
Hearing this, Lorraine couldn't help nodding and smacking her lips. I have to say that this method is quite clever! ... Figures in the business world are really better at playing tricks than the others. For the Kang family to have such courage and means, their background must not be simple. I am afraid they occupy an important position in a wealthy family.
"This method is admirable." Lorraine admired sincerely.
"Haha, do you admire it? I admire it too." Kang Shaojie nodded in agreement, "Don't choke when you say it. Mengmeng proposed this idea to the elders in the family. At that time, she She was only fourteen years old. From that day on, her family discovered her extraordinary talent in finance and business... Otherwise, why do you think she could be specially recruited by the Economics and Trade Department of Jinghua University?... This kind of business intelligence, even Now I have to say a few words of praise."
What? That Kang Mengmeng... so smart? ? ! He actually has such a devilish business acumen? !
My dear, that's incredible, you are indeed a genius! It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Although Kang Mengmeng looks arrogant and domineering, she has such a talent. Even some so-called economists may be jealous of her talent. Bar
"How's it going? Are you impressed by my sister?" Kang Shaojie smiled slightly at this time, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking behind his smile.
When Lorraine heard Kang Shaojie's words, she smiled and said: "Yes, I am impressed, but how others are, it has nothing to do with me. You and I are friends now, but it does not mean that I am familiar with your sister." .Don’t think about letting me help you take care of that arrogant and domineering sister in the future, haha."
Lorraine seemed to be joking about these words, but he expressed his true thoughts.
"Don't worry, I won't entrust my sister to anyone so casually."
"By the way, Kang Shaojie, you should have bought that sports car with your own money, right? If you were living on charity from your parents, I would be disappointed in you." After talking with Kang Shaojie, Lorraine Gradually, I became familiar with him, and I started to let loose a lot of jokes while talking, one after another.
"Of course not. I'm not interested in men who rely on charity from their parents." Kang Shaojie shrugged, "I bought this car with the money I earned when I negotiated the first business deal for my family. , although it relies on family connections, the specific implementation still relies on my own personal ability. This shouldn’t be considered as gnawing at the old people, haha?… My current personal assets should be enough to buy ten Porsche Carrera GTs.”
"Haha, should I look at you with admiration now?" Lorraine said with a smile.
"Haha, I don't mind that, just do as you please!"
… …
The conversation with Kang Shaojie was very pleasant. When the two separated, they left each other's phone numbers and said that they would contact each other if they had the opportunity in the future.
Lorraine rejected Kang Shaojie's kindness to send him back to school. He knew that it was almost time for class. At this time, many students were expected to appear at the gate of the campus. A swaggering Porsche Carrera GT turned up. He didn't know what would happen. What kind of little sensation, I'm afraid some cheerful girls will come up to strike up a conversation, right
Lorraine didn't want to draw too much attention to herself, and let Kang Mengmeng see that she and her brother seemed to have a good relationship. With that unruly girl's character, I'm afraid someone would come to follow her every now and then in school. Looking for trouble yourself
After intercepting a taxi, Lorraine returned to school and walked into the teaching building of the School of Economics. As soon as she arrived on the floor of the Economics and Trade Department, many girls who looked a little unfamiliar came up to say hello to her.
"Hey, classmate Lorraine? Are you here for class? Have you had breakfast?"
"Student Lorraine, what's your mobile phone number? Our college is going to hold an unofficial party for freshmen. Please leave your contact information so I can notify you when the time comes!"
"Student Luo Lin, what's your QQ number? I have a lot of study questions that I don't understand. Can I ask you on QQ in the future?"
"This classmate...can you let me borrow your mobile phone?"
There is another girl who is more direct. She seems to be quite open-minded. She has a middle-class appearance, but her clothes and clothes are very fashionable. She has a hot figure. When she saw Lorraine, she immediately came up to her and said with a slightly charming look. : "Handsome~~~Are you free tonight?~~I want to discuss life with you~~~What do you think?~~~"
... Lorraine tried her best to deal with them one by one while keeping a smile, and finally walked to her class.
Lorraine's heroic deeds of rescuing Kang Mengmeng while camping in the wild in a dangerous area have spread throughout the School of Economics. In addition, Lorraine is a handsome guy and is somewhat legendary. This kind of story has spread throughout the School of Economics. Boys are naturally very popular, and now almost everyone in the college does not know the name "Lorraine".
Regarding this, Lorraine was very helpless. She obviously kept a low profile, okay? But why does God always try to push him to the forefront? Is it really so difficult to keep a low profile these days? He is such a hard-working kid.
