Chapter 249 Two Brothers
Xu Chen was thinking in his mind, but remained calm on the surface. He politely sent Nie Fei and Chen Xinyi to the elevator hall and followed them down.
He thought about it and said half-jokingly:
"Sister Fei was already the director of Nike Greater China. Why didn't you consider starting your own business and building a brand?"
Nie Fei smiled:
“Sports brands seem to have low production thresholds, but in fact they consume huge amounts of capital and resources, and new brands are almost impossible.
Nike, Adidas, etc. spend huge amounts of money on promotion every year. They also have endorsements from NBA, Champions League and other sports stars, and sponsorship of various events.
in the country, how much money does it cost just to watch CCTV every year...
There are also offline self-operated stores and distribution networks all over the country. These are very heavy asset investments that ordinary enterprises cannot afford..."
"The domestic brands, Li Ning, Anta, etc., are all because of getting up early.
Those sports and apparel brands from the 1980s and 1990s had a good time, and before foreign capital came in, they were given the opportunity to start.
If they were to start from scratch now...
Li Ning may still be possible, after all, there is a world champion blessing, but several other brands are almost impossible..."
Xu Chen listened quietly, but he was also making calculations in his heart.
In fact, Xu Chen has already considered the issues Nie Fei mentioned.
But the approach of Ranbing Sports does still need to be rethought.
In any case, it was a huge surprise to learn that Nie Fei was a "super-connected person" today.
Xu Chen still needs to think about how to cooperate in the future or bring her over.
……
Xu Chen sent the two of them directly downstairs, where a black business car was already waiting in the parking lot.
The two sides said goodbye politely, Xu Chen watched the car leave, and then turned around and went upstairs again.
……
……
After a while, Fang Jun came back with a few people.
In addition to Zhao Feng and Fang Tao, several workers also used trailers to drag in the tables and cabinets to be installed.
Fang Jun explained: "This is from your office."
Xu Chen took a look and saw that it had the same color scheme as the office area outside, with a simple dark style.
"Thank you, Teacher Fang Jun."
Fang Jun: "The chair will have to wait for two days. I guess you will have to sit a lot, so I ordered an ergonomic chair for you."
Xu Chen: "Sister Fang Jun, you are so kind!"
Fang Jun: "Take me to drink tonight."
Xu Chen: "I'll take you to drink old Shanghai wine."
Fang Jun: "What kind of wine is that?"
Xu Chen: "Yellow wine..."
He thought for a while: "If you don't drink rice wine normally, you might not think it tastes that good."
Fang Jun: "Then let me try."
……
"Brother Chen!" Zhao Feng walked in and called with a smile.
Xu Chen turned around and saw a man following Zhao Feng. His face was somewhat similar to his, and he also had the appearance of a tall, thick and reckless man.
Zhao Feng introduced: "This is my cousin Zhao Kai..."
Xu Chen smiled, stretched out his hand and shook it:
"Hello, my name is Xu Chen."
"Hello, Brother Chen!"
Zhao Kai followed Zhao Feng and called him "Brother Chen" with a loud voice.
Zhao Feng smiled and said:
"My cousin runs a rental business in Shanghai, and he also has a group of brothers here.
In the future, if Brother Chen encounters something in Shanghai and cannot find anyone, you can always look for him. ”
Zhao Kai smiled, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over.
Xu Chen took it and found it was a taxi driver's contact card.
Zhao Kai said: "Brother Chen, just come to me if you need anything. Although I'm just a taxi driver, I still have many brothers around me.
If anything happens, I'll come over and help you. ”
Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a little moved and said:
"Thank you two brothers!"
Xu Chen basically never encounters situations where "brothers" are needed when he is in Shanghai. But I still feel a little grateful towards Zhao Feng and Zhao Kai in front of me.
Zhao Kai showed a simple smile:
"My brother said that Brother Chen and Mr. Xu took good care of him...
Anyway, if something happens in Shanghai, Brother Chen can just treat me as a brother. ”
Xu Chen said:
"Are you free tonight? Let's go drink together."
Zhao Kai was a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand to scratch his head.
Zhao Feng: "My brother has to get out of the car tonight...
Because I have to leave tomorrow, I brought him here to get to know Brother Chen first. ”
Xu Chen smiled: "We are all in Shanghai anyway, and I am studying at Tonghai University. Let's make an appointment another day."
Zhao Kai: "No problem, Brother Chen!"
Xu Chen glanced at Zhao Feng, feeling a little grateful in his heart, and reached out to pat his shoulder.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
This brother of "Brother Bing" indeed regards himself as a brother.
……
Xu Chen and Zhao Feng sent Zhao Kai downstairs.
Zhao Kai looked embarrassed and kept saying "No need to send it away".
Xu Chen asked the two of them to wait for a moment. He walked to the nearby store, bought two cigarettes and came back. He stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhao Kai:
"I should have brought some cigarettes from my hometown, but unfortunately they are not sold here."
Zhao Kai smiled with an honest face, but was too embarrassed to reach out to take it.
Zhao Feng helped him pick it up:
"Brother, just take what Brother Chen bought."
Only then did Zhao Kai say: "Thank you, Brother Chen!"
……
……
In the evening, two workers carried two mattresses to the office on the 8th floor.
Fang Jun directed everyone to move to the conference room first.
Seeing Xu Chen's confused look, Fang Jun explained:
"This is arranged by your father. He said that the mats and mattresses issued by the school must be uncomfortable and asked me to buy you a mattress.
One and a half meters, I asked, your dormitory is this size..."
Xu Chen still had doubts:
"Why two?"
Fang Jun: "There is another one that belongs to Brother Bing, and it was also bought by your father.
I guess it’s also 1.5 meters. If you buy two together, you can get a discount of 400 yuan...”
"..."
"Thank you sister Fang Jun, it's great to have you here!" Xu Chen said with a smile, putting on a well-behaved look on his face.
He squeezed the two mattresses. They were not completely "soft", but had a certain degree of support:
"Brother Bing will not come to Shanghai until the competition is over in late September. I will find someone to move her there then..."
"Take me to drink quickly."
"..."
……
Xu Chen found a seafood barbecue food stall on Quyang Road near the school. After all, this kind of occasion is more suitable for drinking.
First, he ordered half a dozen Libo beers, saying they were produced locally in Shanghai, and placed them in front of Zhao Feng and Fang Tao.
These two little brothers obviously prefer drinking beer.
I also bought a bottle of old Shikumen wine, just because Sister Fang Jun wanted to "try it".
Sure enough, she took a sip, frowned and said:
"Why does it look like horse urine?"
Xu Chen was speechless and could only give the bottle of "horse urine" to Zhao Feng and Fang Tao.
The two brothers seemed to like it quite a lot, and they drank it separately.
Fang Jun seemed unhappy and turned to stare at the beer on the table.
Xu Chen dug out of his backpack, pulled out another bottle of Guojiao that he had bought in advance, and placed it in front of Sister Fang Jun.
Fang Jun licked his lips, showing a look of obsession.
