Chapter 329 Lao Xu’s impulsive consumption
Outside Yumen Pass, the wind and sand gradually subsided.
The car doors were pushed open one after another, shaking off the dust.
Director Bao Junsen looked at the sky and quickly discussed it with the photographer and stunt technician.
After a small sandstorm, the sky became unexpectedly clear.
It's just that it's approaching evening, and the sky is still getting slightly darker.
"Let's add a few stunt shots, and then quickly transition to the Shule River while there's still daylight!"
……
Xie Bingran's scene here has been taken, so he continues to rest in the car.
Coach Cheng Hong walked over and took a look. When he saw the "young couple" sitting obediently in the car, he smiled evilly and walked away.
I saw in the rearview mirror that Director Cheng was clinging to Sun Amy again...
Xu Chen stretched out his hand and touched Xie Bingran's belly through his clothes:
"Are you hungry?"
"A little."
Xu Chen smiled, took his backpack from the trunk, and "transformed" into a yellow apple, then wrapped it in several layers of paper towels.
Xie Bingran reached out and took it, breaking it in half with a crisp sound.
The two of them were eating happily when Xu Chen's phone vibrated. He took it out and took a look. It was a message from teacher Fang Jun:
[Your dad feels that he may be making impulsive purchases. I think I should tell you...]
Xu Chen was stunned. Dad Xu Zhiquan spent some money, so he probably wouldn't have asked Teacher Fang Jun to send a special message. It still looked very strange.
【What's going on? 】Xu Chen replied.
[He has fallen in love with a factory and is considering buying it directly. He made an appointment for dinner tonight just to talk about this matter. 】
Xu Chen: "..."
Xu Zhiquan went on a business trip with Nie Fei, first to Qingshi in the north, and now he should be in Fujian Province.
The factory that Lao Xu is considering buying will not be a sports goods processing or OEM factory...
He thought for a while and replied to Xia Jun first:
[Is Nie Fei here? What did she say? 】
Fang Jun: [Yes, she seems to be a little confused. She was discussing with me privately just now whether she should tell you. 】
Xu Chen shook his head, smiled, and replied:
【Don’t worry. My dad is very cautious in business now and he won't mess around.
Lao Xu is interested, which means it is cost-effective...
You probably won’t place an order tonight, right? I took the time to give him a call. 】
[I won’t buy it tonight. If I really want to buy it, I have to sign a formal contract...
We should talk about it during dinner tonight. 】
【Got it. Is he available now? Let me give him a call...】
[He is talking about something, please wait a moment. 】
Xu Chen thought about it and found that he was really not particularly worried.
He could feel that after acquiring Guangming Factory, Lao Xu's business vision and judgment were no longer at the same level as when he opened the factory in Zhenshan.
If Lao Xu really wants to invest in business, it will probably prove to be reliable.
But after all, it was related to "Burning Ice Sports", so Xu Chen still sent a message to Lao Xu.
After the two of them finished eating the apples, Xie Bingran put her soft little hand into Xu Chen's hand.
Xu Chen kneaded her soft fingers, which felt very tactile.
Still busy outside, stunt technician Zhou Yong drove the Wrangler, whipping up gusts of wind and sand in the Gobi.
……
The phone buzzed. It was a call from my father, Xu Zhiquan.
Xu Zhiquan smiled happily when he heard his son's voice.
The father and son did not need to exchange pleasantries, Xu Chen went directly to the topic:
"Dad, I heard that you want to buy a factory?"
Xu Zhiquan: "Do you know all this? Did Fang Jun say it, or did Mr. Nie say it?"
Xu Chen: "They said so."
Xu Zhiquan smiled heartily and said:
"Son, are you serious about your 'ice-burning sports'?"
Xu Chen: "Of course."
Xu Zhiquan: "Then we still have to find a way to build this factory.
Otherwise, if you are on the production line, you will be controlled by others.
If they don’t arrange an order for you, you won’t be able to get it done even if you come over and beg grandpa to sue grandma...
I asked Mr. Nie, even if those international brands find OEMs, they must take shares in the OEMs to ensure orders and product quality. ”
After all, things were a bit sudden, and Xu Chen obviously had some doubts.
Xu Zhiquan smiled heartily and explained in a low voice:
"Your dad won't mess around. The two companies he is currently interested in are only talking about buying shares. They may take a large stake. Of course, the final decision has not been made yet..."
"This is something that actually has to be done. Although Nie Fei is a high-end talent from a large company, she may not fully understand it."
“I’ve traveled to several places in the past few days, and I’ve probably figured out some tricks.
Of course, Mr. Nie and I still have different views. There are some things that you college students may not be able to understand. ”
"The industrial belt here in Fujian Province is all run by local people. Why should someone help you produce a brand that you have never heard of from other places?
This is not something you can do with money...
Moreover, those large OEMs have signed agreements with foreign brands and do not accept other orders. ”
"There is one more...
The two factories my father is interested in are both factories run by the village committee here. If I can invest in this, I can also build some local connections. ”
"It looks like it's just a small factory, but it's not that simple behind the scenes. Doing business in China ultimately comes down to relationships and favors...
And I think people here in Fujian Province also have a strong sense of family and clan..."
……
Xu Zhiquan talked a lot, and Xu Chen probably understood it.
I felt a little lucky in my heart, but fortunately my biological father Xu Zhiquan followed me.
According to Xu Zhiquan's analysis, the "shareholding" of this local factory is indeed a must.
The reason why it is a "shareholding" rather than a direct "acquisition" is not entirely due to financial considerations.
Only by "buying shares" can the interests of the other party be bound. On the one hand, it ensures the production of "Burning Ice Sports", and on the other hand, it can mobilize local resources and manpower with the help of the original shareholders.
One of the simplest reasons is that the local area is also in a state of clumping together of villages, towns, clans, and surnames.
In a factory run by outsiders, local people may not be willing to come and work...
In addition, Xu Zhiquan also revealed another point.
The local industrial belt and production lines were first introduced by those two foreign sports brands.
Foreign capital holds a large share and controls the technology on the production line.
In fact, these technologies are not "high-end", but they are exclusive in the contract and cannot cooperate with other brands such as "Burning Ice Sports".
The two factories run by the village committee that Xu Zhiquan was interested in had some indescribable "technical assistance" relationship with the two big-brand OEMs.
To put it simply, by using these two factories, you can get access to some key technologies and resources to a certain extent.
……
After Lao Xu's analysis, it sounds like he really has to buy the factory's shares.
Xu Chen thought for a while and said:
"Dad, do you have enough funds? Chenfeng Technology is still burning money..."
Xu Zhiquan smiled heartily:
"Don't worry, son! Since your father has his thoughts, it is within control.
There is no need to worry about funds. I am choosing one of the two factories that I am currently interested in to invest in. I will also talk about it in detail tonight.
The pressure on price is okay. To be honest, this shoe and clothing production factory doesn't have any high-end stuff. How expensive can it be?
There is one more.
The two villages and towns that are discussing the matter with Dad also want to think of other ways and means besides OEM for foreign brands.
By purely doing OEM work, they can only earn a hard-earned money.
So I came over here to invest in shares and asked Nie Fei to chat about Ranbing Sports. She was also very interested...
When they have some ideas, they will take me up there to get some fresh air. Maybe they can get some policy support like Chenfeng Technology...
My son doesn't have to worry about money.
I will discuss the equity and contract matters with Nie Fei.
I just had a chat with Teacher Fang Jun. Generally speaking, I will invest in Dongchen shares as the main body, and do not involve the shares of 'Ran Bing Sports' to prevent it from affecting the development progress and decision-making of your company..."
It's obvious that Xu Zhiquan has actually thought about it very carefully.
Xu Chen smiled and couldn't help but praise:
"We still have to make a wise decision, Mr. Xu!"
"I will definitely take special care of the matter between you and Ran Ran!"
Xu Chen thought for a while and turned on the phone hands-free:
"Dad, Xie Bingran is sitting next to me!"
As he said that, he poked Xie Bingran who was beside him.
Xie Bingran was stunned and quickly said:
"Hello Uncle Xu..."
Xu Zhiquan laughed and said:
"Hello Ran Ran! After finishing this busy period, Uncle Xu will go to Shanghai to visit you two."
Xie Bingran: "Okay, Uncle Xu." Xu Chen: "Dad, you have to make an appointment in advance. Xie Bingran is a big star now, and it's rare for me to see him last time."
Xie Bingran showed a hint of embarrassment:
"If Uncle Xu comes over, I can ask for leave."
Xu Zhiquan smiled and said: "Don't panic, don't panic, I will tell Xu Chen first!"
Xie Bingran remembered what Xu Chen said on the phone just now and said again:
"Uncle Xu, do you need money to buy a factory? I have...a lot of money..."
Xu Zhiquan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xie Bingran to say this.
Xu Chen stretched out his hand and pinched Xie Bingran's face: "Keep your money yourself, my dad and I can handle it."
Xu Zhiquan smiled on the phone and said:
"Yes! Don't worry about this matter!"
Xie Bingran blinked his big eyes and said again:
"I received two endorsements, as well as previous bonuses, which are really quite a lot of money...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If Uncle Xu needs it, I can really get the money. ”
Xu Zhiquan was silent for a while, seemingly feeling a little emotional.
He paused and said:
"Child, listen to Uncle Xu and keep your money yourself.
That's what you earned with your own hard work...
Uncle Xu, you don’t have to worry about anything here. You, Uncle Xu, can handle everything. ”
He said to Xu Chen again:
"Xu Chen, don't bully Ran Ran, or I'll beat you to death when you come back!"
Xu Chen: "..."
Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
……
……
The shots outside Yumen Pass were quickly finished, and the scene quickly transitioned to the Shule River.
It’s about half an hour’s drive, and I can still take some shots before it gets dark.
The setting sun is also an important scene in this commercial.
……
Xu Chen drove the car.
Cheng Hong, Sun Amy, and Xie Bingran crowded into the back row.
"Look! Oasis!"
Amy Sun screamed in surprise.
Xu Chen smiled and said: "That's along the Shule River."
The Shule River originates from the Qilian Mountains and is the second largest river in the entire Hexi Corridor.
It is said that during the Han Dynasty, it was also called "Ming Shui".
Of course it has nothing to do with the underworld or hell, just because it flows through a realm called "Ming'an".
"Shule" means "abundant water and grass".
……
Taking advantage of the last daylight, shooting was in full swing.
I simply set up a tent and put up a monitor.
The three "bosses" Xu Chen, He Dachang, and Liu Wenqin continued to sit in front of the monitor and stare at the filming progress.
Xu Chen sighed with emotion:
"Fortunately, the sandstorm didn't last long, and we were able to catch up with the shooting of Shule River."
Liu Wenqin nodded: "Yes, the shots here are really beautiful."
River oasis, the afterglow of sunset.
The celadon ocean blue Wrangler is parked on the water's edge.
Xie Bingran looked at the distant sky with clear eyes...
Stunt technician Zhou Yong drove the Wrangler across a shallow water, slowly and bumpily, and drove towards the sunset.
……
At nightfall.
Under the "protection" of the wranglers, a bonfire was lit next to the waterway.
The burning of dry shrub branches makes a pleasant "cracking" sound, which makes people feel peaceful.
In the camera lens, Xie Bingran's eyes were illuminated by flying sparks.
She looked up and saw the shockingly bright Milky Way again.
……
……
A certain moment.
Director Bao Junsen shouted, "Cut!"
Then he stood up with a smile:
"Finished!"
Then came bursts of applause and cheers.
A whole day of hard work has finally come to an end.
The director team even prepared a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Xie Bingran.
However, in this northwest region, flowers are probably hard to find, so we can only find dried flowers.
A group of staff who had been nervous all day finally took off their guard and started laughing.
Everyone was vying to take photos with "big star" Xie Bingran.
There were also two lighting masters carrying machines, holding signature pens, asking Brother Bing to sign on the jacket he was wearing.
……
After gathering the equipment, the convoy returned to Dunhuang city.
The guide Yang Lei arranged for a restaurant, which was right next to the hotel where we were staying.
A group of men who had worked hard all day were enjoying themselves drinking and eating meat.
He Dachang held a glass of wine, followed by Xu Chen and Liu Wenqin, and expressed his gratitude to director Bao Junsen and photographer Kuang Chunlei seriously.
Bao Junsen was flattered, stood up and said:
"You three are the bosses, so I'm here to respect you!"
This advertising director from Hong Kong actually drained his glass of cold white wine in one gulp.
……
Cheng Hong and Sun Amy are accompanying Brother Bing.
I am also "eating" the soupy food specially prepared for athletes.
As a little southern girl, Sun Amy couldn't bear it after two meals of beef and mutton. Now she was holding a bowl of porridge, but she looked like she was enjoying it.
Coach Cheng Hong drank a bowl of millet porridge, abandoned Brother Bing, and came over to sit next to Sun Amy.
Then very greedily, he hugged Sun Amy's limp body.
……
Xu Chen drank some wine, and his face was already glowing red.
He walked up to Xie Bingran and whispered:
"Come home with me."
Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, said "Oh", and followed obediently.
……
……
hotel room.
The two of them washed up and fell on the bed.
Xie Bingran reached out and touched Xu Chen's face. It was obviously a little hot because he had been drinking.
Xu Chen's eyes were blurry and he moved closer.
After a while of kissing, Xu Chen felt restless and uncontrollable.
"I want..."
Xie Bingran got into Xu Chen's arms: "I'm afraid..."
Xu Chen kissed her head and stroked her gently:
"I love you too."
……
Xie Bingran had some naughty thoughts again and reached out to explore.
After squeezing it gently, Xu Chen couldn't help but let out a slight cry.
"You're scared and you dare to tease me like this..."
I can’t figure out where the boundaries of review are. My head hurts from deleting, and I dare not write anything. .
