Chapter 265: A little green on the head
After returning from the Great Ocean Road, everyone was tired from playing.
I had a phone call with my mother and found out that the domestic business is going well. There are many franchised picture and text stores. They are developing very fast now and have started to develop branches across the province.
Many small business owners are excited because they don’t need to pay a large sum of money for equipment at one time.
However, there are also those who are unwilling because leasing equipment requires something as collateral. After all, there are still risks in doing business, and conservative people retain a wait-and-see attitude.
Port of Melbourne.
This is a modern port.
At present, the cargo handled is close to 90 million tons, and the number of containers is about 2 million.
But this is just one of the ports in Mo Village.
Chen Xi and A Lin were standing at the port, organizing people to load the goods.
"The scenery abroad is still better!"
"Wulin is not bad either."
"It has been developed beyond recognition. It used to be an ancient city, but now..."
The person in charge of transportation sent by Zhang Wu was a slightly stout middle-aged man.
Since the volume of goods transported this time was large and it was the first transaction between both parties, he was extremely cautious.
After nearly a month of long sailing, the person in charge looked tired. When he arrived at Mo Village, he just exhaled a long breath, as if he was tired of boarding the ship again.
Considering that he was tired from traveling and traveling, Chen Xi took the initiative to invite him to attend the opening ceremony of the auto parts city.
This not only allows the other party to witness the prosperity of business here, but also allows him to bring back some positive information to Zhang Wu, indicating that there is the possibility of continued cooperation here.
Such an arrangement is beneficial to both parties and can further consolidate the cooperative relationship between them.
"Ha, you are about the same age as Mr. Zhang's daughter. I didn't expect you to start a big business. This is not what people of your age should do." The middle-aged man's name is Wu Shouren, who is Zhang Wu Old employees of the company.
Wu Shouren was also visiting Mo Village for the first time, and he seemed a little curious about the people and things here, because the young man in front of him was related to the boss, and he was also very enthusiastic.
"By the way, why don't you have any big automobile factories in Tu'ao? Or some factories to produce auto parts? This trip must have taken too long." Wu Shouren didn't know much about the situation in Tu'ao. He only knew that there were no car factories. Although he had heard about the only domestic car company here, it didn't seem to be very famous.
“The manufacturing cost of automobiles in Tu’ao is relatively high. High labor costs and the limited scale of the local market in Tu’ao are the main reasons for the high cost. Previously, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Ford, etc. wanted to build factories here, but in the end they withdrew. "Chen Xi smiled and explained that this place is different from China. Although the car penetration rate is very high, the population is too small and it is incomparable with the market in China.
"Tu'ao people like to protect the environment! If you build a factory like this, people who care for the environment might come and hold a parade." A Lin added in a weird way.
In the past, there were environmentalists in Tu'ao, but there were also many weird organizations, such as vegetarian associations and gay organizations. Anyway, they all liked to hold parades in front of the official building.
"Haha, foreign countries are really weird. I went to Canada before and saw a parade of shrews. What was it about opposing sexual harassment..." Wu Shouren laughed, becoming very interested in the unfamiliar land of Tu'ao.
Zhang Wu's company has close trade relations with the beautiful country, and Wu Shouren goes there very frequently.
“This name is too weird.” Alin also covered his mouth and laughed.
"Who said it wasn't? I don't know who started it. I thought it was a shrew who went to the parade before." Wu Shouren is not young, but when talking about this aspect, he is not inferior to young people at all.
"Speaking of which, do you have room to store so many goods? I heard before that your auto parts city has tens of thousands of square meters. You can't be bragging! I have never seen anything of this scale in China."< br>
"That's different. The situation in China is different from here. Then I'll take you to see it with your own eyes."
The three of them chatted and found a place to eat.
“Can you do anything else besides automobiles?”
At the dinner table, Chen Xi asked. He didn’t know much about the specific situation of Zhang Wu Company. He had only heard about it before. My family has said something.
"Of course, we can do whatever we get with the money now. We are the largest at Ford..." Wu Shouren began to introduce Zhang Wu's company. Chen Xi also knew a few of the manufacturers he introduced, among them One of them is a boss from Xinlu. The factory is located in a city in Suzhou Province and specializes in making locks and other parts for the public.
Zhang Wu is not only involved in the automobile industry, but also actively expands into other business fields. The Zhijiang area has numerous factories and a diverse variety of goods, which provides abundant resources and markets for his business.
In addition, due to the high cost of foreign labor, many companies choose to find partners domestically, which also brings huge business opportunities to Zhang Wu's business. As a result, his business was extremely prosperous and achieved great success.
"How is Zhang Yin?"
"She... is different from you, a girl... she just eats, drinks and travels every day..."
Facing Chen Xi's question, Wu Shouren hesitated and tried his best to beautify his boss's daughter. In his impression, the boss's daughter was average in studies and only played around, looking a little confused.
"Didn't she study architectural design?"
"Well... this... it seems so."
As soon as Chen Xi heard the meaning of Wu Shouren's words, he knew that his cousin was not doing well. study.
No wonder my cousin often changes countries to stay. It turns out that she eats, drinks and has fun everywhere.
My cousin is doing well in studies, but her family is not in business and she usually goes out to work, which makes her a little tired.
"I heard that Casino is legal in Tu'ao. Take me to have fun."
"Forget about Casino, the clubs are all legal. I will definitely take you to have fun at night. . ”
Alin found Wu Shouren quite pleasing to the big brother, so he immediately agreed with a pat on his thigh.
When they met for the first time, Chen Xi didn’t want to disappoint the other party, so naturally he agreed to go together.
On the first floor of the Crown, Chen Xi sat there and watched the two of them playing cards. Wu Shouren and A Lin were obviously not in this kind of place for the first time. It was obvious that they were very familiar with gambling.
As soon as the three of them came in, they went straight to the topic and ran to play Jiajia Le, which is the favorite of Chinese people. Chen Xi, who was about to take out his gold card and enter the VIP room, saw A Lin wave his hand at the doorman. Platinum Card, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Good guy, no wonder he always feels like he has no money. I used to think he only went to clubs, but I didn’t expect that he was also a frequent visitor to such a place. The VIP room was as lively as ever, the place was bustling with people, and several tables were crowded with people.
“Ha, it’s much more interesting than Casino in the Ao District. You can only hear Mandarin and Cantonese there, and there are also various bird songs here.” Wu Shouren laughed and played. Card.
The dealer was a ghost. I didn’t understand what he was laughing at. He just thought Wu Shouren was making fun of himself. When he dealt the cards, his face looked like poker.
Chen Xi was watching the two playing cards from the side. A Lin didn't seem to win much, and his expression was very calm whether he was losing money or winning money.
As a part-time worker, Wu Shouren would naturally feel distressed if he lost money, but he was lucky today and overall he won money.
"Don't you think it's boring if you don't play twice after watching it all night?" A Lin blinked at Chen Xi. It was the first time he saw someone who came to Casino and didn't play. You know This kind of person is rare. Even people who don't usually gamble can't help but play two hands when they come here.
"No way! It's fun to watch you guys play, I put myself into you."
"You are really awesome."
For this answer, Alin could only express his admiration.
"Chen Xi, you didn't even call me when you came here." At this time, Chen Xi was tapped on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Lao Wang.
Lao Wang has a lot of chips in his hand, basically more than a thousand yuan, which amounts to tens of thousands.
"What, you won money? You seem to be lucky."
"It's not bad, not as much as others. Someone has won a lot of money recently."
"You will have to spit it out when the time comes, unless he never plays again in his life."
Chen Xi shrugged, and he didn't care about Lao Wang's words. The money in Casino is unlimited. If you are lucky today, it does not mean you will win next time if you are lucky.
If everyone could win money at Casino, no one else would open their doors.
"Hey, are you a friend? You're lucky! Then I'll follow you." Lao Wang sat down and joined the battle between the two people next to him.
Wu Shouren was already very lucky. Under the instigation of Lao Wang, the bets became bigger and bigger. Soon the three of them together won 100,000 Australian dollars. People around him also saw these three fierce generals. Everyone gathered around, wanting to win money together.
Chen Xi didn't play at all, so he naturally had to give up his seat to other players. He went directly to the bathroom to pour water.
In the men's room in the VIP room, Chen Xi was washing his hands after draining the water. He heard a faint gasp, and he immediately understood what was going on.
Someone is actually doing this in the restroom of Casino. It’s really fun.
Soon a high-pitched singing voice that was deliberately concealed sounded, and the people in the toilet compartment were finished.
"You called me here just to give me money and do this?" A female voice sounded.
"Tch, it's only such a small amount of money, I guess I lost it all in half an hour." A somewhat out of breath man's voice came out.
"You are such a bastard, I told you to stop gambling. In order to get money for you, I was treated like a beast and even videotaped, ugh~" the woman said with some choking.
“Okay Rongrong, don’t cry, please work harder.”
“That guy Fang Lin is such a pervert. He even let me watch those videos of his ex-girlfriend. Enjoy it with his friends, my video must have been seen by others.”
“Please be patient and make more money.”
"What do you think I am? I might as well go to a club and be a lady like this! At least I won't be photographed. He usually beats and scolds me, and I can't stand it anymore. He even asked me to have sex with him on the lighthouse that day. ..."
"Jijiwaiwai, I'm going to play. Go home and go to bed early."
"You know how to stay here every day now, and you can't do that anymore."
"What are you talking about! I was injured before and haven't recovered yet. I think you have fallen in love with that man. ”
“If I like him, he will come over and give you money”
After saying that, the toilet door began to shake, and it was obvious that the person inside was about to come out, but the person who opened the door seemed to be grabbed by another person. When Chen Xi saw this, he immediately flew away.
Holy shit, Huang Rong?
Having such a good time, is that boy Fang Lin being cuckolded?
Forget it, don’t worry so much about things that you and I like.
Still making money? According to Fang Lin's speed of changing girlfriends, Huang Rong might not be his girlfriend next month.
It's really eye-opening that there are still people who let their women accompany other men and make money for him to gamble. This plot seems to have been seen in Hong Kong movies.
After Chen Xi left, the toilet door was opened.
A man limped out. After checking that there was no one else in the toilet, he coughed behind him. Then Huang Rong walked out of the toilet box and casually handed the A used small umbrella was thrown into the trash can.
This man is Bobby, whose leg was broken by Chen Xi before.
Since his leg was broken, he has stopped doing his previous pimping business. He stays in the Crown every day, and when he loses all, he goes to Huang Rong, his ex-girlfriend, to ask for money.
Now all the women around him have left him, except Huang Rong, because she doesn't know what Bobby did before.
Although they broke up early before, the two have always been in contact. The boyfriend and girlfriend couldn't be friends, so they became buddies. Poppy has been having a rough time recently, so he found her.
At this time, in an office upstairs from Crown, a very beautiful woman was leaning on the boss's chair. A ghost man standing next to her was reporting work to her with sweating profusely.
The woman's face did not show any emotion, making it difficult for people to get a glimpse of her inner thoughts.
The Crown executive standing aside looked nervous and did not dare to express his anger. He looked very respectful.
The atmosphere in the entire room seemed solemn and quiet, with only the sound of a woman tapping the tabletop ringing from time to time, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.
