The partners admired Ye Fan's keenness and couldn't help but smile and confessed that his parents were from the land of Confucius and Mencius.
Ye Fan was not surprised and asked again: "There are many people from the mainland in Hong Kong City, right?"
The partner nodded: "Like the restaurant we just went to, from the boss to the waiters, 80% are mainlanders who came to Hong Kong before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China."
An employee asked: "The two waiters just now were in their twenties. Judging from the time, wouldn't they be three generations from the mainland?"
Partner: “Maybe their parents were born in the mainland, and they didn’t follow their ancestors to Hong Kong until they were seven or eight years old.”
Employees are confused: “My parents are from Mainland China, so they still look down on us?”
Partner: "Yes. I don't understand what they think. To tell you the truth, my sister and brother are just like them. I thought they would change, but after graduating from university, they wouldn't even look down on Hong Kong City and wanted to go abroad." Settle.”
Ye Fan: "Although prices abroad are cheap, the cost of living well is very high. Ordinary college students who have just graduated can only ensure that they do not starve to death when they go abroad. If they want to be as comfortable as in a port city, do they need your help?"
< br>
The partner was convinced: "I can't hide anything from you." He sighed, "My parents dote on them too much, which makes me very tired."
Ye Fan: "Life in Hong Kong is convenient, and your career is also in Hong Kong. If you go back to the mainland, you won't be willing to let it go and you won't get used to it. They are not worth giving up everything. In my opinion, you can only cut yourself off from your parents."
The partner shook his head.
Ye Fan: "I haven't finished yet. Your parents are under sixty, right? They can take care of themselves, and your younger brothers and sisters are with them. You don't have to worry about the old man getting sick and no one will call an ambulance. After five years of separation from them, your parents When you get older, you need someone to take care of you. It’s not too late to reconcile with your parents.”
Five years is enough for the younger siblings to accept their fate - thinking that their eldest brother cannot be counted on. The partner asked: "Do my parents hate me?"
Ye Fan said with a smile: "No! If your younger brothers and sisters cannot give them a worry-free old age, your parents will think that the eldest son is reliable. After five years, your parents will not dare to interfere in your life, because they will worry that you will abandon them again. Get off them.”
The partner is filial, but after hearing this, he is still reluctant to leave his parents behind.
Ye Fan: "Your wife has a share of your property. Doesn't she have any objection to your younger brother and sister asking you for money? Your wife has no objection now, maybe she just doesn't want to care about it. Clay figures also have three tempers."
The only female employee in the back row couldn't help but said: "Sister Fan is right. My uncle took too much care of his younger siblings, and my aunt couldn't bear it. The day after their youngest child got married, my aunt filed for divorce from my uncle."< br>
Ye Fan couldn't help but look back. The female employee was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "It's not about taking care of my family. My uncle is the eldest, my mother is the second, and there are three younger brothers and sisters. My uncle takes good care of them. My mother also takes good care of them. Because my uncle is lazy and lazy. , my mother wanted to take her cousin to our house, and my father had a big fight with my mother.”
Ye Fan: "Where is your aunt?"
"You can't survive and leave." The female employee does not blame her aunt for being ruthless. "If my brother-in-law dies, my father will definitely support my mother in bringing my cousin over and treat her as his own daughter. My eldest aunt also means the same thing. I also advised my mother to leave it alone. My mother was soft-hearted, so when the room became available after I stayed in the capital, she took my little cousin over. Since my cousin stayed at my house for food, housing and schooling, my uncle came over every now and then, saying he was visiting my daughter, but in fact he was going to my house to enjoy the autumn breeze. "
One thing the female employee didn't say was that last year, when everyone was buying a house, she couldn't afford to buy a house near the company, so she went to buy a house near the countryside because her home no longer felt like home.
Ye Fan: "Your father and mother are also in trouble."
"I persuaded my father, but he was reluctant to divorce my mother. From now on, my brother-in-law took all the money away, and he asked for it himself."
Ye Fan heard something: "Are you an only child?"
The female employee said "Hmm" and said, "They both work and have no time to take care of me. My grandfather left early and my grandmother can't take care of too many grandchildren by herself. After I was born, my grandmother persuaded my mother not to give birth, but my mother was not happy. He thought my uncle She has two sons, but she doesn’t have one. My grandmother can’t bear to see her.” When it comes to her family affairs, the female employee is more troubled than Ye Fan’s partner, “Her brain, I sometimes wonder if she is lacking in some aspect of IQ.”
Ye Fan wanted to laugh: "Is it mentally retarded? It's not impossible. Being mentally retarded does not mean being stupid. Being unable to listen to advice and being indifferent between good and bad is also considered a lack of IQ."
Ye Fan's partners have always believed that everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious, and harmony can bring wealth. After hearing so much, he suddenly feared that in a few years, he would have everything he needed for a luxury house and a car, and he would become a big boss in the Hong Kong technology circle, and his family would be broken up.
At that time, his wife, children, and children will all hate him, and there will be no point in making more money.
The partner decided to give his parents and younger siblings a chance. If they were greedy, don't blame him for being rude. Thinking of this, the partners sighed: "Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite."
The female staff member asked: "Does Sister Fan have one at home?"
Ye Fan: "How is that possible? But except for my mother-in-law, my family is either working or going to school, so we don't have time to make trouble."
The partner asked: "Is your mother-in-law making trouble?"
"My mother-in-law is my lover's stepmother. She has no sons and expects us to support her in her old age. She doesn't dare to make trouble. She has a pension and has easy access to money. She can do whatever she wants when I'm not at home. She lives a comfortable life and doesn't want to mess around."
The female employee couldn't help but said: "You haven't met the kind of person who likes to make trouble. My aunt's mother-in-law is just cooking vegetables. She said that my aunt abused her. When she made braised pork, she thought my aunt couldn't live a good life. She mocked her, you big boss. Ah." When talking about this, the female employee felt numb, "My aunt is also hard to explain. She comes back and cries when she is wronged. My father tells her to stay away from her. If my father suddenly passes away one day, these people will be the trouble. ”
Ye Fan: "Your aunt kicked the old woman out, how dare she do it?"
"She went to my aunt's work to scold her."
Ye Fan said: "Slap her twice, or break her legs and send her to the hospital immediately. The police will definitely treat her like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting."
The three employees in the back row were all shocked.
The partner said: "Your mother-in-law is a house spoiler, and she wouldn't dare to do anything to a daughter-in-law like you."
Ye Fan smiled and didn't answer.
Before passing the customs, Ye Fan once again reminded her partners to help her pay attention to foreign machines. The partner thought it was better to buy than to build, because he could only get machines that had been eliminated from the factory.
Ye Fan said seriously that those who were eliminated would be fine. If it cannot produce cutting-edge components, it will produce outdated household appliances. Not every household in the mainland can afford the latest televisions and radios and other household appliances.
The partners thought that the domestic market was huge and Ye Fan would not lose money if he took the machine, so he said he would help her later.
Ye Fan finally reminded: "The whole machine may not be easy to install. Please remind the seller to disassemble it and pass it."
The partners couldn't help but ask: "Why keep the eliminated items if foreigners don't sell them?"
Ye Fan: “Maybe I’m worried about seizing the low-end market after I make it.”
"Do they want to occupy the entire market? They are not afraid of being overly hungry!"
Ye Fan: "Forgot that things that foreigners couldn't take away were burned and not left to us? Maybe those foreigners are still alive. It's hard for their descendants to be like them."
The partner recalled what happened before liberation: "They might throw it into the water and not sell it to you. I will find a few more companies. There are people who resell national supplies in the mainland, but I don't believe there are none abroad. People in capitalist countries love money more than we do. ”
Ye Fan: "As long as the lion doesn't open its mouth, the specific price is up to you."
The partner asked: "Do you want to produce your own computers in the future?"
Ye Fan did not answer directly: "If you plan to set up a factory in the mainland, I will come to you to buy anything I need from now on. However, I suggest going to Hangzhou, there are people I know there."
"No one dares to bully me when I get there?"
Ye Fan: "If nothing else, he should be transferred back to the city after your factory is established. By the way, he has been in the Organization Department after graduating from university. If you don't know what the Provincial Organization Department does, you can ask you Parents.”
When the partner returned to the company, he received a call from his parents asking him to have dinner. The partner called his wife, who gave several reasons, but in short, she was not available. The partner was very unhappy. Suddenly he remembered Ye Fan's words and suspected that his wife didn't want to see his younger siblings.
Now I don't want to see if he will divorce Ye Fan like his aunt did to his female employee, and then his children will all hate him. It's not impossible.
The partner went over alone and took the opportunity to ask his father if he had heard of the Provincial Organization Department. His father looked shocked and asked if he actually knew anyone from the Organization Department.
The partner understood that Ye Fan was not tricking him, so he gave a random reason, saying that he heard someone say that he had dinner at the restaurant at noon. He didn't mention Ye Fan a word, just because he was worried that his younger brother and his sister would guess that he had a partner and that his business was good this year. Ask him for money.
On the day Ye Fan arrived in the capital, Dabao and Erbao happened to be at school, so she piled the things she bought in Dabao's room and gave them gifts for the employees.
When he arrived at the company, Ye Fan first paid his salary and bonus, and then gave out gifts. Ye Fan used to give food away because it was cheap. I have made money in the past two years, and there is no need to search for Sou Sou. In addition, during this trip to Hong Kong City, I also sold a few small software, earning hundreds of thousands, so the male employees have ties, wallets, lighters, and the female employees have purses and perfume. , skin care products.
It's not something very expensive, nor is it something sold on the street. With their salary, they can afford it, and they won't be suspected of being fake, so no one is dissatisfied.
The R&D team leader asked: "Sister Fan, when are you going to go out for fun?"
Ye Fan: "At the end of next year, we will celebrate the Spring Festival outside. Please make arrangements in advance."
The team leader just asked casually and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Really!?"
Ye Fan nodded: "You can bring your family members, but you are responsible for their own food, accommodation and travel expenses."
As if they were afraid that Ye Fan would regret it, everyone immediately expressed that they had no family members.
Ye Fan: "Would you like me to introduce it to you?"
Everyone said no, because many of their classmates are in the capital, and if they want to find a partner, they can find classmates and alumni. The people Ye Fan knew were probably beyond their reach.
It would also be very hard to climb up.
These people who are accustomed to freedom can't stand the thought of acting like a grandson in front of their father-in-law.
Ye Fan: "Then please keep warm. I won't be coming over for the next few days."
Ye Fan went to the bathhouse when he got home.
The next day, Ye Fan went to his new home. The new home had already suspended ceilings. Ye Fan asked Chen Xiaohui to buy a lot of mahogany furniture and ask carpenters in Yujia Village to rebuild it.
The library shelves, bed and wardrobe in the main room are all ready, the back room has not been touched yet, and the furniture in the side room is being made.
Ye Fan gave them his wages and money advanced by the workers and went to Chang Guangrong's shop.
Chang Guangrong was not in the store at home, and Ye Fan planned to go to his house. His wife asked Ye Fan to sit down and rest while she went out to call Chang Guangrong.
There was no snow on the road today, so Chang Guangrong came over quickly, riding a motorcycle.
Ye Fan went to the door to look at the brand new motorcycle and said: "It's meat wrapped in iron."
"It's okay if you ride slowly." Chang Guangrong took off his gloves and asked how many days he had been back. Ye Fan didn't wait for her answer, and didn't seem to care about her answer, and said, "If you don't come to me, I will have to come to you in two days."
Ye Fan: "What happened?"
"Good thing!" Chang Guangrong poured some boiling water into the cup and covered his hands. "Recently, someone asked me to do OEM processing. Have you ever heard of OEM processing?"
Ye Fan nodded: "There are many factories in Yangcheng that specialize in OEM processing."
Chang Guangrong's unwillingness to go up or down came to fruition: "It's good if you know. Do you think it's okay?"
"Not now. There are too few workers. When the factory is completed next year, there will be dozens of people in one workshop, and there are two or three workshops. One can be freed up to receive external orders. But half of the deposit is required."
The other party didn't mention a deposit, and Chang Guangrong was worried that the other party wouldn't be able to give so much: "Half of the deposit can almost cover the cost, right?"
Ye Fan nodded: "We don't expect to make money through processing, so there's no need for us to take too much risk. They think the deposit is too high, so let them find someone else."
Chang Guangrong: "They didn't want to find anyone else. They asked me to do the processing because they saw that the quality of my sportswear was good."
Ye Fan suspected that the other party's purpose was to acquire "Rongguang Clothing". But Chang Guangrong's company just started and has sold less than 2,000 units in total. It's not worth it for his colleagues to use this method to guard against him.
Ye Fan: "Then we should be more aggressive and ask for a 70% deposit."
Chang Guangrong was dumbfounded: "I, do I mean this?"
"Of course you are not. You think you are recognized by your peers, so you can charge a smaller deposit because your peers are so discerning." Ye Fan rolled his eyes rudely, "Young Master Chang, you are doing business, not earning fame. .Besides, have you ever thought that he complimented you to make it easier?”
Chang Guangrong was so praised that he was helpless. He never thought about this, "I, I have thought about it, so I didn't dare to agree directly. I said that the factory does not belong to me alone and I have to discuss it with you."
Ye Fan asked: "How much does a set cost?"
"We didn't even talk about it." Less than a year after the company opened, someone came to do the processing. Chang Guangrong was very happy and panicked, which made him feel unrealistic and afraid of being cheated, so he didn't respond and waited for Ye Fan to come back to make up his mind. .
Ye Fan: "Add 20% to the ex-factory price. If they find it too expensive, change it to 10%. It can't be any lower."
"What do you mean, if we get a set of 100 yuan, give him a factory price of 120 yuan?"
Ye Fan nodded: "Once they think that our sportswear is competing with theirs in the market, and they suppress us at a low price, we will have no power to fight back."
Chang Guangrong frowned and asked: "There are only a few people in our factory, so how can we compete with them? It's impossible, right?"
"But clothing is easy to make. Now you are inconspicuous. If you recruit dozens of workers next spring and advertise on TV stations, you may capture half of the capital market by the end of the year." Ye Fan said, "Besides, they can find You, it means that I know you well and I must have guessed that you have money to advertise.”
Chang Guangrong suddenly felt horrified: "You want to check my talent? It's terrible. If my factory is like a state-owned enterprise with hundreds of people, do I need two bodyguards to prevent me from being assassinated and kidnapped?" < br>
Ye Fan nodded.
Chang Guangrong took a breath: "——How is it more terrifying than the business war on TV?"
"The business tactics on TV are mild. The reality is simple, crude and illogical." Ye Fan said, "My company is not conspicuous now, and others can do the things it produces. Once I have someone else, I will need bodyguards when I travel."< br>
Chang Guangrong couldn't help but feel lucky that there were few workers and no one touched him for the time being: "What if he simply thinks my sportswear is good?"
"Why not make money if you have money? If you talk to him about feelings, he will think you are easy to cheat. Besides, do you know where his ancestral home is and how many people are in his family? Just talk to him."
Chang Guangrong didn't know.
Ye Fan: "Even if you have similar interests with him in the future, you can't lower the price just because of your relationship."
Chang Guangrong's wife couldn't help but tell him to listen to Ye Fan, and then said: "Sister Fan still needs a commission for helping Dabao buy couplets."
Ye Fan nodded: "Everyone knows that I distinguish between public and private affairs, so no matter who comes to me to wholesale clothing, they never think of playing the emotional card with me." After a pause, "You are not decisive enough. If you want to save face, the business will not last long. By the way, your Who is the stronger of the two friends? ”
Chang Guangrong: "The three of us are almost the same. I would say we are more accommodating and ambitious."
"Tell him to talk to you next time. If you are too embarrassed to say anything, blame it on him. If Jin Dazhi is embarrassed to come forward in the future, blame it on you. If your relatives see the garment factory getting up and want a piece of the pie, blame it on me." Ye Fan road.
Chang Guangrong said as if waking up from a dream: "I don't have to worry anymore."
Ye Fan smiled: "Have you seen Xiao Ming recently?"
Chang Guangrong: "I went to Xiushui Store a few days ago and asked him how his business was. He said he had to go to the south in a few days. The goods he planned to sell at the end of the year are almost sold out."
Ye Fan was surprised: "So fast?"
"The foreign style is of good quality. As soon as I got there, I heard a few people inquiring about the source of the goods." Chang Guangrong was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look on his face: "Xiao Ming said he didn't know. I didn't care at the time. Thinking about it now, he How could you not know this if you go there often? This old boy is a master!”
