Chapter 170 Ouyang Ming's Business
Ouyang Ming stretched his head in front of Liya and said sweetly: "Baby, I want to eat fried squid rings." His voice was so sweet that it made people feel a little uncomfortable. Nausea.
Liya covered her mouth and replied with a smile: "I've already ordered it, just wait patiently." Her tone was full of doting and helplessness, and she was obviously used to Ouyang Ming's coquettishness.
The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, and they are a model couple in the eyes of their friends.
However, Chen Xi knew that the ending would be a bit bloody, which made him feel very regretful.
Seeing their loving looks, he felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
Ouyang Ming adjusted his sitting posture, straightened his body, cleared his throat amusingly, and then said seriously: "Okay, I'm going to talk about my business."
When Chen Xi saw this, he put a smile on his face, propped his head on his hands and looked at Ouyang Ming intently, waiting for his next speech.
Ouyang Ming began to elaborate on his business plan: "I plan to build a winery, focus on producing red wine, and sell it to the domestic market." His tone was full of confidence and determination.
Liya on the side looked at him with admiring eyes, listening carefully to every word he said. When Ouyang Ming finished his speech, Liya immediately took the lead in applauding to express her support and appreciation for his ideas.
Chen Xi noticed that Chen Xu beside him was just drinking water quietly without speaking.
However, he obviously covered his mouth with his hand, trying to hide his laughter that was about to burst out. Obviously, he was not very optimistic about Ouyang Ming's plan.
Cherry didn't understand anything except love, she just sat there in a daze.
Only Liya has been actively praising Ouyang Ming, praising his great ideas and giving him full support and encouragement.
This made Ouyang Ming more confident, as if he had seen the glorious future of his winery's success.
In fact, the wine business is an industry with great potential and can create huge profits.
In Tu'ao, even some rubbish-quality red wines are often sold at high prices in the domestic market, because many consumers have limited knowledge about red wine and are easily attracted by high prices.
However, as more and more Chinese immigrants pour into the industry, competition has become increasingly fierce.
Many people believe that this business can bring wealth, which has led many Chinese people to start wineries. This business was later ruined, so it is good if it does not lose money.
However, it is now 2006, and there are still opportunities to make money in the red wine market.
The key lies in whether Ouyang Ming can establish reliable downstream sales channels to ensure that the products can be sold.
Ouyang Ming usually likes to drink, and he still has some understanding and research on alcohol. At this time, he proposed this red wine business and wanted Chen Xi and Chen Xu to participate.
Chen Xi understands Ouyang Ming's character and knows that he is a person with a three-minute enthusiasm. He may be enthusiastic at first, but then he will gradually lose interest and push the work to others.
If he really participates in this project, most of the work may eventually fall on Chen Xi himself.
"He has told me several business deals in the past few days, and I can't stand it any longer." Chenxu whispered in his ear.
Chen Xi thinks this business is feasible, but if Ouyang Ming is allowed to do it, he will definitely suffer disaster.
But he is very optimistic about Liya. This woman has a high level of intelligence, but in his previous life, Ouyang Ming always messed up things by doing some sexy tricks.
If Liya is allowed to take charge of the overall situation and Ouyang Ming is there to make soy sauce and not blindly operate, then this business will most likely succeed.
"You guys should say something, don't even say a word, I'm really anxious." Ouyang Ming felt aggrieved when he saw that neither of them spoke.
"I think this business is okay!" Chen Xi took a sip of his drink and said silently.
At this time, the dishes were brought to the table one after another by the waiter. Chen Xu's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Xi in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
Cherry was eating on the side. She didn't want to listen to what they said and couldn't understand it.
“It’s time to eat, honey, please eat more.” Chenxu was very excited when he saw the food. He enthusiastically put some fried squid rings on Cherry’s plate, then immediately picked up the knife and fork, inserted it Start feasting on a tender steak.
"Chen Xidu said yes, so I just said it. My idea is the best, right, honey." Ouyang Ming looked at Liya beside him and said affectionately.
“Baby is the best!” Liya also responded enthusiastically.
Seeing the two of them chatting there, Chen Xi chose to lower his head and eat.
Chen Xi kept looking at Liya during this period. He always felt that this girl looked like SABER (the heroine in Fate/staynight - Artoria Pendragon).
If Ouyang Ming had always listened to Liya, he would have started the business long ago.
"Aren't you two taking a stand? Join in?" Ouyang Ming originally expected that when he proposed his business plan, Chen Xi and Chen Xu would enthusiastically express their support and actively request to join. The reaction in front of him was far beyond his expectation, which made him feel a little unable to sit still. So, he took the initiative to break the silence.
"Eat first, eat first." Chen Xu started to act stupid, but he still glanced at Chen Xi curiously, wanting to see what the other person's reaction would be.
"You have a good idea, but I heard from Gouzi that Brother Ou, your grades are not very good, so you should focus on your studies. You can leave the business to Liya..." Chen Xi tactfully expressed his thoughts Speak up.
"Leave it to the baby to take care of? What should I do?" Ouyang Ming obviously didn't want to miss this opportunity to prove himself through practical actions, but he was also aware of his failing record last semester. Chen Xi's words made him feel entangled, not knowing what to choose. "Haha."
Chen Xi and Liya looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they both couldn't help laughing.
Liya is a smart woman. Like Zhao Lingshan, she is good at discerning other people's thoughts.
How could she not see that Ouyang Ming was not a fact-based person, but she liked him, so she chose to silently support and encourage him.
She understood what Chen Xi just said, and she also felt that this might be a feasible solution.
However, Chen Xi knew Ouyang Ming's character well. He predicted that Ouyang Ming might agree to the proposal at first, but after a while, he might feel bored and lack a sense of existence, and then he would take the initiative to look for something to do. Doing, however, these things often backfires.
Therefore, how to effectively restrain Ouyang Ming and prevent him from causing trouble depends on Liya's wisdom and strategy.
Liya also has the same concerns in her heart. She feels that Ouyang Ming is like a curious child. If he is not careful, he may throw the things on the table as toys on the ground. This kind of inconvenience Certainty is worrying. This helplessness and worry were intertwined, making Liya smile bitterly.
"Baby, what are you laughing at? Have you thought of any good business ideas?" Ouyang Ming hugged Liya and said coquettishly.
"Yes, I was just thinking about it!" Liya leaned in his arms, twisted Ouyang Ming's nose and said softly.
“Let’s put the wine business aside for now. You buy a winery first and then we’ll talk about it! I’ll give you some European wine!” Chen Xu said to the side in a funny way.
He was deceived by Ouyang Ming. He had failed in several things he had done before, and he didn't want to be fooled easily this time.
"Yes, you should sort out the supply problem first. This business is not difficult to do. Just find a reliable person in China to ship the goods." Chen Xi nodded and agreed.
"How can this work? If we have money, we need to make it together. You are my good brothers. I can't help but take you with me." Ouyang Ming started his wooing operation again.
"Um...you should get the supply ready first."
"Yeah, let's talk about it, let's talk about it!"
The two cousins hurriedly asked him to calm down. Eat first, otherwise the food will get cold.
Today was the first time the two met. Liya held her chin with one hand and looked at Chen Xilai curiously.
The boy in front of her made her feel a little different. Although she couldn't explain the specific reason, she felt that he knew her well.
This filled her with curiosity, and few international students would carry out business activities in Tu'ao. Most of them would choose to return to China after completing their studies. Therefore, she was very puzzled by Chen Xi's motives and purposes.
Chen Xi remembered that Ouyang Ming didn't have much money. He might not even know how much money it would cost to buy a winery. It would be more cost-effective to find someone to buy it directly and then sell it to China.
At the dinner table, Chen Xi began to tell Ouyang Ming some precautions in the wine business, but he was actually telling Liya.
Wine like Penfolds has a high sales volume in Tu'ao and China. It is especially popular in China because most Chinese consumers only know this brand.
However, there are a variety of wines under the Penfolds brand, some of which are more affordable, but after entering the Chinese market, the prices are often significantly raised.
As for the homeless man Chen Xi met before, the wine he drank, which cost only a few yuan a bottle, would most likely be sold at a high price if it were placed in the domestic market.
Currently, many people have very limited understanding of foreign wine. They can often only judge the quality of wine by price and date.
In their view, the higher the price and the earlier the date of wine, the better. This cognitive misunderstanding provides an opportunity for some businesses to take advantage of.
Chen Xi began to patiently persuade Ouyang Ming not to be too impulsive. He should start with small-scale trade and try to sell some alcoholic products to the domestic market to observe the reaction.
Ouyang Ming saw that neither Chen Xi nor Chen Xu showed strong willingness to invest, so he nodded and accepted Chen Xi's suggestion.
Liya, on the other hand, gently comforted and encouraged Ouyang Ming, calling him "baby" and "baby" to make him feel cared for and supported.
With Liya's company, Ouyang Ming's mood gradually improved and he began to cheer up again.
Sometimes it must be said that behind every successful man there is a good woman who silently supports and encourages him. With their selfless love, understanding and encouragement, they provide men with motivation to move forward and spiritual comfort. , becoming a strong backing for them to pursue their dreams and succeed in their careers. Liya is a typical example of this.
Chen Xi couldn't help feeling that Ouyang Ming probably had countless good relationships in his previous life to have such a wonderful girlfriend who loved him deeply, understood him, and supported him in this life.
He turned to look at the little green tea beside Chenxu again, and couldn't help but shook his head. There was such a big difference between the two.
However, Chenxu was focusing on feeding Cherry at the moment, and pinched her little face lovingly from time to time, like a loving old father taking care of his child.
He didn't notice Chen Xi's look at all.
However, Chen Xi then thought about it, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables.
After all, this is his second cousin's private love life, and he can be happy.
