"Haha, I'm investigating...I'm investigating...I've also dealt with your bosses in the mainland. People there often exaggerate when doing business. They have ten thousand yuan in their pockets, but they can pretend to have one hundred. "Wan, it's really difficult to find a good partner," Peng Lang recalled his past dealings with mainland bosses.
A boss once offered to cooperate with him and took him to the mainland to see the site. At first, Peng Lang was very satisfied. The boss pointed to several vacant lots and said that this was his land and he could build a factory. It turned out that this place didn't belong to him at all, he was just a shell boss, and he just wanted Peng Lang to get on the bus first.
“When looking for a partner, of course you have to find a large and powerful company. The person sitting in front of you is the eldest young master of Huade. Uncle, you have never heard of Huade.” Zhao Lingshan raised her wine bottle and said proudly and Peng Lang bumped into each other.
"Oh? Didn't he say that he was from Xinde before? I have never heard of that brand, but Hua De knows about it." Peng Lang raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Xi again.
“It used to be a brand owned by my family. Now it is separated from Huade and I am doing it myself.” Chen Xi explained.
"It's interesting, but our products are not closely related. You said you had cooperation with Huajing Electronics before, so what happened?"
"Well..."
Chen Xi smiled and turned on the bragging X mode.
"My friend, I have something urgent to do and I have to hurry back. Let's talk when we find a chance." Half an hour later, Peng Lang answered the phone and nodded to Chen Xi apologetically.
The two exchanged contact information, and Peng Lang hurriedly left the hotel. Before leaving, he even helped them settle the bill.
"This uncle is quite interesting. He has been chatting with you about random things just now." After Peng Lang left, Zhao Lingshan leaned on him and said.
“Well, don’t think it’s just a mess, this guy is still very smart. He keeps asking me about some fragmentary things, but they are all related to business. Put them together and it will be right. It worked for him." Chen Xi burped, picked up another piece of pastry and put it into his mouth.
“Which one is better, Youda Optoelectronics or Huajing Electronics?”
“It must be Youda. In terms of financial status, Huajing Electronics cannot be compared with Youda at all, because It had been losing money for many years, but Youda Electronics has always been profitable. Technically speaking, Huajing Electronics has just mastered its own technology through technological innovation, and has been on the same platform as its international rivals. Among the top in the world. But that won’t be the case in the future. According to Xinlu’s strong support, Huajing Electronics will surpass the other party sooner or later. This is why Peng Lang chooses to invest in mainland China. Enterprises all want to invest in mainland China..."
"I saw you chatting so happily with him, and I thought you wanted to cooperate with him, but after talking for a long time, I didn't see you bringing up the idea of cooperation."
"A product is composed of multiple parts, which involves many different companies. Do you see that things are getting cheaper and cheaper now? Do you know why this is? One of the reasons is that many bosses are starting to play with the supply chain. Want to lower the price of the product so that consumers pay, We have to start with the purchase of various parts. There is no harm in getting to know one more boss. Sooner or later, we will use it..."
"This seems to be similar to our catering."
"No. Wrong.”
Zhao Lingshan responded quickly.
In a corner of the hotel.
"Zhijie, what are you looking at? Oh~ It turns out you are looking at a woman. She has a boyfriend, why are you staring at her?" A dark-skinned man patted the young man next to him and followed the other man's lips. His eyes stayed on Zhao Lingshan in the distance.
The young man next to him squinted his eyes slightly and stared straight ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hey, Zhijie, you haven't had enough fun outside yet. If you want a girl, I'll take you to have a lot of fun later." A man wearing a turban and a leather jacket smiled. Had some food.
"You guys eat, I'll go out and make a phone call." The young man who was teased by several people stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the back door silently.
"Wow, I guessed wrong. How could it be toast?" Zhao Lingshan looked at the dish in front of her with a bitter face and complained.
This is a dish called coffin board. It is made of thick slices of toast that are hollowed out, filled with milk batter, chicken, potatoes, green beans, shrimps, and flower branches, and covered with the scooped out bread crust. It is similar to Western food. challah bread. Because diners joked that it was shaped like a coffin, the boss named it the coffin board, which is quite a scary name.
"Why do you order so many weird and weird things?" Chen Xi also had some comments about this dish.
“I like to order dishes I have never seen before wherever I go. If they are delicious, I will write them down and let the chef of my hotel try them.”
“It took me a long time to do it. You turned out to be treating me as a guinea pig."
"Hehe, Xiao Xizi, quickly test the poison for me." Zhao Lingshan pushed the coffin in front of Chen Xi and made a request. action.
"嗻~"
Chen Xi raised his voice and shouted.
I don’t know how long it took, but the two of them, full of wine and food, wandered out of the dimly lit restaurant.
At this moment, we are in the bustling food street. The night is falling, but it has not reduced the popularity of the place at all. The bustling crowd is filled with the fireworks of life.
Compared with the bustling scenes of modern cities in mainland China, this place in Menga is a bit like an old city elsewhere.
Surrounded by short old buildings with traces of time, there are several iconic high-rise buildings in the center.
“Let’s go to the night market.” After Zhao Lingshan was full, she came up with the idea of having fun.
"Haha, will you let me go to discuss business tomorrow?"
"It's only what time, why are you going back to the hotel so early? Have you figured it out? So suddenly, I'm not even ready." Zhao Lingshan first gave him a bad smile, then kept touching each other with her two index fingers, her head hanging down with a troubled expression on her face.
“Okay, okay, I’ve convinced you, then let’s walk around.”
"Hee hee, I thought you were drunk and cowardly, but it seems you didn't drink too much."
"I'm cowardly, huh, I'm afraid you'll cry and beg for mercy."
"Tch, I heard that it's very comfortable to do that, why would you beg for mercy?"
"Humph, after drinking, my mind is filled with these things, let's go." Chen Xi He put his arms around her waist and walked forward.
As everyone knows, there is a young man secretly following behind him.
Next to the food street is a night market with stalls, selling dolls, hoops, and small jewelry everywhere.
"This seems to be no different from Xinlu. You see, this jewelry is probably made in mainland China." Zhao Lingshan looked around and stopped in front of a stall selling jewelry. She picked up a piece of jewelry. I looked at the bracelet.
"It's probably caused by Wushang." Chen Xi also agreed.
“No, no, these are all imported from Sakura Country, and they are all the latest styles.” The boss is a thirty-year-old woman. After hearing what the two people said, she began to designate her own products. excuse.
"Imported from Sakura Country, didn't it go to two places? It was first transported from the mainland to Sakura Country, and then shipped here..."
"Little girl, you are a good bargainer, so stop talking. I'll give you a 30% discount, and I'll give you a thousand bucks." The landlady was confused by her, so she made a gesture with a smile on her face. He showed a pained expression, as if he had suffered a big loss.
"Huh? Thirty percent off and a thousand bucks? A thousand bucks is equivalent to two hundred Chinese national currency. This thing probably only costs a few yuan in Wushang. No, a large intestine wrapped in small intestine is fifty Wanbi, this bracelet of yours can buy twenty portions of large intestine wrapped in small intestine, one portion I guess you can buy several bracelets like this on Wushang..."
"Yes, you are really good, you can have as many as you want." The landlady waved her hand to stop her from continuing. Go down, because there are other customers nearby.
A few minutes later, Zhao Lingshan looked at the newly bought jewelry happily and continued to show off her achievements to Chen Xi. "It's just such a small amount of money, why do you still bargain with her?" Chen Xi was a little confused about the woman.
A rich woman like Zhao Lingshan, who can buy hundreds of thousands of dollars for a bag, actually cares about these few hundred bucks.
"Humph, you don't understand this. Bargaining is a kind of fun. Buying cheap things will make your mood different. Besides, didn't she still make several times the profit? It doesn't count. It's just that I don't want to be taken advantage of. It’s okay if I don’t know the real price of this thing. Compare it to the mainland. If I buy it at the original price, I will probably be in a bad mood for the whole day..."
Listening to Zhao Lingshan’s explanation, Chen Xi felt helpless. Shaked his head.
The two of them walked to a game booth. Zhao Lingshan took him and pointed to several pairs of men and women, and then pointed to the prizes above. Chen Xi immediately understood that she wanted to play tomorrow.
This is a bouncy ball game. There are several fixed glasses on the table. Players need to use the bouncy ball to hit the table to move. When the ball falls into the cup, one point is accumulated. Finally, use the points to redeem prizes.
"It seems to be a matter of luck." Zhao Lingshan stood there and observed for a while and concluded.
It’s similar to other games, with 1-2 points being worthless gadgets. Prizes with 8 points or more are pretty good.
There are ten balls and a dozen cups in total, and the chance of getting 10 points is almost zero.
The 10-point prize is cash - twenty-five thousand bent coins, which is quite attractive.
Most of the players are young people, even children, while the boss is smiling and picking up the dropped bouncy balls.
Chen Xi looked at the boss's expression and knew that this guy must have made a lot of money.
The table seems to be very flat, but those bouncy balls fly everywhere at different angles. They must have been designed in advance.
But when you go out to play, you want to have fun. How could Zhao Lingshan not know that there is something wrong with this game?
"Haha, I hit five in the first round. It doesn't look very difficult." Zhao Lingshan paid the money, took twenty balls and started playing.
She was really lucky. She got five points right away, which stunned several young couples around her.
The boss's face was as usual, and he was still smiling, because he was not worried about anyone winning the grand prize at all. No one had ever scored ten goals since he set up the stall.
The tabletops have been carefully designed by him. If you look carefully through the light, you can find that the tabletops are not flat, especially on the middle tables with the most players, there are more uneven places.
Sure enough, after playing a few games, Zhao Lingshan’s scores were getting lower and lower, which meant that she was lucky at the beginning. Chen Xi's side was slightly better, with a maximum score of seven points.
But only prizes worth eight points or more are interesting, and there is only one assembled car model for seven points.
"It's not fun, let's go play something else." Zhao Lingshan threw away all the balls she bought in one breath, then pouted and made a face at the boss who had his back turned to her.
"Okay." Chen Xi was about to throw the ball in his hand and leave.
But Naihe's first few shots were good and he scored seven, which made him more confident.
"Wow, another one was scored." When she saw the eighth ball go into the cup, Zhao Lingshan jumped up excitedly.
At this time, the boss's face also changed, but thinking that the two of them had spent so much money, it would still be profitable to let the other party take away a small prize, so he returned to his smiling expression. .
“Bang.”
Just when Chen Xi threw the ninth ball, a bouncy ball suddenly appeared on the table. It bounced suddenly and pointed directly at the target in mid-air, almost causing a collision. Fortunately, the ball finally fell into the quilt.
This scene made the two of them look to the side.
I saw a young man with dyed white hair, earrings, and a leather jacket, playing with the ball in his hand with a wicked smile.
Aware of the displeasure glances cast by the two men, the young man not only did not restrain himself at all, but instead saluted them with two fingers together. This action was obviously looking for trouble.
“What are you doing, have you drunk too much?” Zhao Lingshan crossed her arms and looked at the other party.
"I didn't mean it. Why are you so excited? This bouncy ball fell on the table and I can't control where it bounces." Bai Mao chewed gum and shrugged.
"Boss, what should I do with this kind of troublemaker? How can I play with him like this? Whose ball will it be if it touches my ball?" Chen Xi threw the question to the middle-aged uncle who was watching the fun. .
"This ball beats irregularly and no one else can control it. I only want to see whether the ball falls into the cup in the end. I don't care about other things." The middle-aged man folded his arms and stood completely On the white-headed side.
"Is there anyone doing business like this?" Zhao Lingshan raised her voice, and suddenly more people were watching the excitement around her.
"Do you want to play or not? If you don't want to play, let others play. Don't delay my business." The boss made a gesture of chasing people away.
"Fuck." Chen Xi lost interest in playing and threw the ball in his hand on the table with a curse.
Seeing the opponent take action, Bai Mao quickly threw two balls. One of the balls bounced on the table and collided with Chen Xi's bouncy ball. Chen Xi's ball changed direction instantly and bounced to the left. It happened to hit the wooden board next to it. It bounced back and hit the table again. Then it bounced a few times and landed firmly in the cup. .
"Keke, thank you very much, little white-haired brother." Zhao Lingshan laughed so hard after seeing the result, she quickly thanked the troublemaker next to her.
The boss suppressed his blush. He threw away the cigarette in his mouth and stepped on the ground a few times.
"This is what you just said, you just want to see if the ball falls into the cup. Okay, let's get the grand prize." Chen Xi stretched out his hand with a smile.
"I..."
"There are so many people here, boss, don't you want to do a one-time business?" Chen Xi reminded again.
More and more people were watching the excitement, and some even helped Chen Xi and the others celebrate.
The boss could only give in. He glared at the two of them fiercely and took out a wad of bills from his wallet.
"I'm... OK, OK..." Bai Mao was also dumbfounded. He threw away the ball in his hand and kept waving it in the air with his hands, as if he wanted to say: Give it to me. Wait.
"Yeah!" After seeing her boss obediently giving her money, Zhao Lingshan stood up excitedly and hugged Chen Xi's neck, kissing him on the face.
“I didn’t expect these two mainlanders to be so lucky.”
“Welcome to Wan District.”
“Hehe, I originally thought the mainlanders were dressed like They are rustic, but they turn out to be more fashionable than us. It seems that the TV news is all lies."
"There are also people who say they can't afford instant noodles. Look at these famous brands... ”
The onlookers around were discussing the handsome man and woman in front of them with great interest. (End of this chapter)
