Chapter 95 The second cousin is back, a new project
“Why are you back?”
“Of course I will continue studying when I come back, and I am pretty busy with domestic affairs.”
>
At meal time, Chen Xi sat at the dinner table and looked at his second cousin Chen Xu opposite him.
Chen Xu is tall and fat, weighing more than 180, sitting on a chair like a hill.
Next to him was a dark-skinned man, who was Chen Xu's classmate Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming was good friends with Gouzi in his previous life, and Chen Xi met Gouzi through Ouyang Ming.
"I heard that you are now moving and opening an Internet cafe?"
Chen Xu picked up a piece of pork and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Well, I just started working on it.”
Chen Xi understood that Ouyang Ming should have learned the news from Gou Zi, and it was not surprising that Chen Xu knew about it.
"Yes, our family members are all in business. It seems that your bloodline is very pure."
"Is there anyone who praises others like this?"
Chen Xi rolled his eyes.
“Do you know why I stayed so long when I went back this time?”
"How would I know."
"Ha, do you remember what business my family is in?"
"Isn't your father running a plastic chemical factory?"
< br>Chen Xi didn’t know what his second cousin meant by asking this. He knew very little about the situation of the plastic chemical factory. He only remembered that many coastal factories closed down during the 2008 financial crisis. Although the plastic chemical factory survived, Business was not doing well.
Nine out of ten business people rely on loans, and the profits of plastic factories are not high to begin with and rely on a large amount of business.
Once the financial crisis hits, it will be very difficult to stay afloat.
"The last time I went back I wanted to start a new business and connect with Tu'ao."
Chenxu is obese and sweats easily. After eating a few pieces of meat, his forehead was already covered with sweat.
“Tu’ao attaches great importance to environmental protection, and a lot of garbage cannot be properly processed. Burying and burning on site will damage the environment, so officials are now starting to transport this garbage to other countries.”
Seeing that Chen Xi didn't respond, Chen Xu continued.
"Well... that's a good idea."
Chen Xi began to recall this matter, as if he had heard it mentioned by his cousin before, and later saw similar reports in the news.
But at that time, he was obsessed with playing in Casino, and he stopped paying attention to this matter.
"What a good idea, this is a big deal, okay."
Chen Xu was a little dissatisfied with Chen Xi's answer, he stuffed another mouthful of meat into his mouth, and raised it on the table The 1.25 liter beverage bottle took a few sips.
"Ah? I feel like this business is too big, and there are too many twists and turns in it."
Chen Xi scratched his head. This involves doing business with the government, and there are many aspects that need to be considered. They As a student now, both money and connections are a big problem.
“What are you afraid of? Dare to fight and charge!”
Ouyang Ming suddenly interrupted.
Chen Xi glanced at Ouyang Ming beside him. He was thin and tall, like a black bamboo pole.
This person is good in other aspects, but he is a little too ambitious and has poor thinking when doing business.
In his previous life, he did business with Gouzi for many years and made little money.
However, he is very good at picking up girls. The girlfriends he finds are both beautiful and capable, making people around him envious.
"Brother Ou, take it easy when doing business, we are still students now."
Hearing Ouyang Ming's words, Chen Xi immediately realized that he must have discussed it with Chenxu and was ready to buy shares partnership.
Ouyang Naruto is lazy and rarely goes into business personally. He prefers to invest in shares and make some suggestions on the side.
But his suggestions are often just words on paper and cannot solve the actual problems.
Therefore, Chen Xi's words are to advise the other party not to act rashly.
"You are young now. If you don't work hard, how can you work hard? Haven't you done so much business yourself? We can't just eat and drink. We have to do something to show our family. We are not waste..."< br>
Seemingly not understanding what Chen Xi said, Ouyang Ming started his own trick of deception.
I don’t know how many times Chen Xi heard this rhetoric from him in his previous life, but now it’s still the same formula and taste.
“Hey, let me ask you, scrap materials exported to China need to be checked at all levels. Suppliers must be certified by AQSUQ and have various documents such as CCIC. Domestic scenes must have import licenses and Environmental protection, etc., you still need to apply for it with the customs.”
“Ahem, there’s one more thing. You also need a trading company with official background. It’s even more troublesome here in Tu’ao. Do you know the official people? Do you know how strict the review of waste disposal here is..."
Chen Xi Ouyang Ming said a lot in one breath, and his head began to hurt. Chen Xu also frowned.
He has thought more about it than Ouyang Ming. He has discussed with his father the issue of returning to the factory this time, but the matter in Tu'ao is a bit difficult to solve.
"Well, I've thought about this problem too. We can only solve it one by one." Chen Xu was in a good mood and was not hit by Chen Xi's words.
“So, the main thing is to focus on studies now. If you want to start a business, start small and don’t start something so big. Some businesses are beyond the reach of students like us.”
Chen Xi chuckled and glanced at Ouyang Ming beside him.
The latter has no appetite for food now. He knows that Ouyang Ming doesn't have much money, but he likes to do big business, so he can't accomplish anything. Business, like marriage, needs to be done step by step.
If you act rashly, even if you succeed in the early stage, you may fall short in the later stage due to poor consideration.
"The businesses you are doing now are not related to those at home, and it will be difficult to connect them in the future. Look, the recycling business I am doing is related to the factory at home. Why don't you make plans for the future?"
There was nothing wrong with what Chen Xu said, but Chen Xi knew what was going to happen in the future, and he didn't know how to explain it to his cousin.
“My family’s business is already very big, and I don’t need me anyway. The factory is also managed by a director and professional managers, and the financial business is quite stable. As for other businesses, I do a lot of them. I haven’t learned about it in depth, so it’s better to start some new projects outside.”
Of course Chen Xi has his own plan, but he is also telling the truth.
Various businesses at home are run by professional personnel.
There is another reason. When he went to a company under his family group in the past, others would call him Young Master or Mr. Chen, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He felt like he was always living in the shadow of his family.
In fact, many rich second generations choose to start a business to prove themselves.
They often meet people outside and are called so-and-so’s children, but they don’t get respect from the bottom of their hearts.
The same is true for Chen Xi. He wants others to call him Mr. Chen, not Mr. Chen.
During this period, most of the international students who went abroad were working in factories at home, and a small number were engaged in engineering. At present, both of these industries have very strong profitability in the country.
Ouyang Ming's family runs a clothing factory, Gou Zi's family also runs a factory, and 80% of his high school classmates' families are like this too.
The financial crisis in 2008 led to the closure of many factories and the bankruptcy of some families of international students. They had no choice but to return to their home countries.
Later, some new students came from families with other industry backgrounds.
The Chen Xi family’s companies are spread all over the world, and there are also investment companies. In addition, their factories produce precision instruments, and they have the shares and technical support of Deutsche Company. They have successfully survived the crisis by relying on their strong financial reserves, so they can No devastating blow.
"How is the business of the Internet cafe?" Chen Xu asked.
He also likes playing games very much, especially World of Warcraft (WOW). He is a liver emperor and often stays up all night for certain collections and achievements.
"Very good, the seats are all full, and even the machines are not enough. Currently, we are still holding DOTA competitions."
Chen Xi answered truthfully, without exaggeration.
The business of the Internet cafe is indeed too good to be true.
"How much money can Internet cafes make? The scale is too small and it's not interesting."
Ouyang Ming curled his lips. He had the same view as most people. He believed that Internet cafes were just a small business and could only rely on meager income. Use internet fees to earn small profits.
Chen Xi didn't say much. He knew that Ouyang Ming was actually a good person, but he was not suitable for business. Excessive explanations were useless.
When the Internet cafe business makes a lot of money, the other party will naturally change their mind.
“If you let your family know that you are opening an Internet cafe here and moving, they will be furious.”
Chen Xu is also not very optimistic about Chen Xi's business. He thinks it is more practical to go home and take over. What kind of success can he make outside?
"They just know it if they know it. I didn't use their money to start a business. Besides, I'm still making money now."
Chen Xi waved his hand, showing an indifferent attitude.
He is not afraid of quarrels with his family now. Now that he is financially independent, he naturally needs to be tougher.
"How did you open an Internet cafe without using their money? Where did the moving company get the car?"
"Use a credit card. Anyway, I can pay it back with the money I earn."
"You have learned how to make money with nothing."
"There are a few people who do business who are not loan-payers. Yes, it doesn’t matter, as long as it can be repaid properly.”
Chen Xi just used a credit card before and did not apply for a commercial loan from the bank, which makes him different from others. .
"I think you should stop doing garbage collection now. I don't think there is much hope. Let's do some other projects first."
"Well, I just heard what you said, and I think it makes sense."
Chen Xu belongs to the hesitant type, a bit like Yuan Shao's character.
He is exactly the opposite of Ouyang Ming.
After Chen Xi's repeated persuasion, he was considering whether to shelve the matter temporarily.
“Hey, if I don’t do it again, when will I be able to make big money?”
Ouyang Ming supported his head with his hands and complained with dissatisfaction. He urgently needed to do something big to prove himself to his family, otherwise he would always be called a waste by his father.
"How about I take you to the Internet cafe to have a look. Although the place is small, the money is very stable, so you don't have to worry about collection."
Chen Xi specifically emphasized the matter of collection. , because the most difficult problem that many business people encounter is the closing payment.
Originally, this project was profitable, but because the boss could not receive the final payment for a long time, the capital chain was broken, and the company eventually closed down.
Many domestic companies have experienced triangular debt situations. What you owe me, I owe you, eventually led to the demise of everyone’s companies.
Small businesses like Internet cafes will not face this problem for the time being.
"Okay, I want to see how your small businesses are doing."
Chen Xu and Ouyang Ming are not very optimistic about his small businesses, but they are driven by curiosity. , they decided to go and find out.
In their eyes, it cannot be called a real business without a large office location and hundreds or thousands of employees.
