It is rude to come and go without reciprocating.
Of course, Ning Weimin would treat Zhao Chunshu as much as he could for helping him.
Although from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to have anything to do with people with gang backgrounds in Japan.
He knew very well that these people living in the underground world were destined to be suppressed by the Japanese government in the future, and they were the source of trouble.
But repaying kindness with kindness is the basic principle of being a human being. It makes no sense that when others help him, he becomes indifferent to them.
He couldn't do that kind of thing like scolding the cook when he was full.
What's more, this Zhao Chunshu is a native of Jinmen from mainland China. He can actually make a name for himself in the Japanese underworld, but his appearance is so low-key. Such a person is a legend in his own right, which inevitably arouses curiosity.
So when it’s time to toast, when it’s time to express gratitude, when it’s time to have a banquet, with good wine, good food, delicacies from the mountains and the sea...
In terms of etiquette, Ning Weimin must not let anyone find any faults, and he did it very well.
Fortunately, this Zhao Chunshu is also a person who understands the world and is well-measured in his words and deeds.
Maybe it's also because the big guys who can survive in the world are the kind of people who know how to restrain themselves and hide things.
Since he took the initiative to give up the chairmanship of the Daochuan Society to others, Zhao Chunshu had already lived a clear life.
Perhaps it is also because he has a good nature and loves to make friends that he can sit in this position.
Anyway, he had no intention of repaying Ning Weimin for his kindness.
After the people from the Daochuan Society left, Zhao Chunshu spent the entire meal and drinking period just having a drink with Ning Weimin, chatting about the customs of his hometown, the customs of various parts of Japan, and asking about the current situation in his hometown.
Not to mention that there was nothing involving the Daochuan Society, he didn't even ask about the specific management of Tan Palace.
Before leaving, he received a pastry gift box and two bottles of Moutai from Tan Gong Restaurant, and Zhao Chunshu kept expressing his gratitude.
He said to Ning Weimin sincerely, "I have been in Japan for so long, and finally found a restaurant that can make authentic northern cuisine. I was very happy to drink the wine today. This is very important to me. I will come here often. . So just run this restaurant well, and if you need help in the future, just ask. Thank you for your hospitality, and I wish you a prosperous business.”
So no matter whether the other party really thinks that way or whether he is just talking for a moment, on the surface, Zhao Chunshu is very sensible.
He just regarded himself as an old-timer from the mainland, and expressed his goodwill and support for the younger generation to Ning Weimin, who was half a fellow countryman. He did not go beyond the limits and make any embarrassing requests.
His enthusiasm, kindness, and gentle demeanor made people feel like spring breeze, which made Ning Weimin involuntarily feel good and respected towards him.
To be honest, if it weren't for the background information provided by Axia, he would never have been able to figure out that Mr. Zhao was actually a desperado who single-handedly conquered the world with a pistol.
It is also hard to believe that he himself was a master of fighting, and he was once one of the top kung fu masters in the National Essence Association, which was the top of the underworld at that time and trained the main thugs of Japan's right-wing government.
In this way, they had a great time meeting each other for the first time, and when they parted, they both left a pretty good impression on each other.
However, Zhao Chunshu was sent away and the Tokyo store was saved. Ning Weimin also received calls from Kyoto and Osaka.
He heard about the Kyoto branch's voluntary closure, and the news that the Osaka store was smashed and forced to close.
The other party also left harsh words, expressing "respect" to them on behalf of Ikuo Suho himself.
So for him, the matter is not over here.
If people are not afraid of being bullied, they will have reason to fight back. The best way to retaliate is to treat others the way they were treated.
As the Chinese people sing a song, "When friends come, there is good wine; when there are wolves, there are shotguns."
He couldn't let others make bad changes to his store and it would be over. He had to let the other party feel the same pain.
Yes, Zhou Fangyuxiong does not have a restaurant, but the Guo family does.
Guo's hotels are also a high-end chain, with stores in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Hong Kong City, and Beijing.
Ning Weimin didn't mind what Firefighter Zhou Fang Yuxiong did, and he also gave him more flowers.
If you are allowed to be in the first grade of junior high school, then I can be in the fifteenth grade. Isn't that just disgusting and destroying the goodwill of my opponent?
From a commercial perspective, he actually takes advantage of it, almost being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Needless to say, he did not take any responsibility for this matter, and of course he left it to Axia.
What surprised him was that even the price he had to pay was pitifully small.
Because Axia is definitely an expert in this area, and she fully understands his needs.
It just requires someone to cause a bad influence and ruin the other party's business reputation.
This kind of thing doesn't require any serious crime, and it actually doesn't cost much.
For example, in every Guo family hotel, two or three people are arranged to pretend to be guests and go to the hotel lobby to pick fights.
After the fight started, they insulted each other and even threw feces and urine, just as disgusting as they wanted.
It is conceivable how much chaos will be caused at the scene, how the guests who have experienced this scene will react, and what a serious blow and damage it will cause to the hotel of the Guo family, which has always regarded itself as high-end.
Not to mention that this happened in several hotels in different cities at the same time. Even one incident was enough to make Guo's hotel famous and even make them the laughing stock of high-end hotels in Southeast Asia.
Moreover, the short mules in Hong Kong City are greedy and worthless. Except for the mainland, these people dare not go anywhere else.
This kind of thing won't lead to jail time, and it's not like starting a war with a rival gang. At most, it's just provoking trouble and violating public order and good customs.
Even if they are caught and held legally responsible, they will only be detained for more than ten days and fined a small amount.
So in addition to necessary expenses such as food, accommodation, air tickets, and legal fees, giving each person another two to three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars will not cost much.
Of course, this is just the cost of doing things. Of course, the money they have to pay to the club bosses will be more.
However, spending at most 10 million Hong Kong dollars is enough, and earning at least double that is enough to satisfy the big bosses of the society.
But even so, converted into Japanese yen, it would only be 150 million yen.
It might be a huge number to others, but to Ning Weimin, this amount of money is just water.
Speaking of which, he has not received more than half of the benefits from the insurance company's compensation.
Therefore, this plan can be said to be extremely cost-effective and extremely destructive. Ning Weimin approved Axia's proposal without hesitation.
The rest depends on how the Guo family reacts to receiving this "big gift" and how they deal with it.
......... At two o'clock in the afternoon on October 11, 1987, Guo Kefeng, who was in Beijing, saw off the guests after the banquet. After seeing off the guests, he returned to his luxurious suite at the Shangri-La Hotel to rest alone, feeling tipsy.
He took off his tie, took off his suit, hung the clothes in the closet, turned around and sat on the rocking chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and picked up a cigar from the box on the coffee table.
Then, in the warm sunshine, I leisurely clipped my cigar, lit it, and puffed away beautifully.
Smoking cigars was originally one of his few hobbies, not to mention he preferred the feeling of relaxation after accomplishing something.
Although this is just a moment, a small reward given to myself, there is an important business meeting to attend in the afternoon.
But it can make him feel the joy of harvesting after hard work, and full of a sense of accomplishment.
He said this not to show off, but to express his true feelings.
If you know his family well enough, then just from his name, you can know that he is a member of the Guo family, the sugar king of Asia.
However, if people think that he was born with a golden key, he can become the talker of a multinational grain and oil company at the age of thirty-five.
Then this idea is too unfair to him, and it can even be called prejudice.
Because it is not that easy for him to achieve this position.
In fact, in addition to being a good reincarnation, his ability to reach where he is today is also inseparable from his personal diligence and hard work.
You know, he is only a close relative of King Sugar and his nephew, not King Sugar's biological son.
It's still far from the point where you can just sit back and relax, and just follow the family's arrangements honestly and you'll be able to take over step by step.
And it has to be said that the Kuok Group, which has already established a foothold in Malaysia, is a big family. There are six brothers in King Sugar's generation alone, and each of them has several children of his own.
So it is conceivable that even as a member of the Guo family, Guo Kefeng still got "Volume".
He would never feel relaxed since he was a child. Instead, he would be under great pressure. He couldn't even think about a luxurious life of eating, drinking and having fun.
It is not easy for the parents' generation to start a business, and the education and requirements for their children are very high. I hope that they can all become real elites. It is impossible to spend a lot of money to let them be useless and live in a life of luxury.
If they don't work hard, they will easily be looked down upon by their family, and then be lost among their brothers and sisters of the same generation, becoming a mediocre person.
If this is the case, of course there will be no chance of entering the core of the Guo family.
Fortunately, among his brothers and sisters of the same generation, Guo Kefeng is the outstanding one who is both hard-working and talented, and he has strived for success since he was a child.
Not only did he have excellent academic performance, he also had a strong interest in doing business, and he caught the eye of King Sugar very early.
Therefore, his sixth uncle cultivated him like his own son and gave him many opportunities.
Guo Kefeng still remembers that when he graduated from the University of Singapore in 1972, he was directly named by his sixth uncle and joined the federal company of the Guo Group.
Uncle Liu, who has everything to do every day, is here to personally lead him to start the flour business.
At that time, their uncle and nephew maintained a communication frequency of meeting two or three times a week, and their cooperation was very tacit.
Under the guidance of his uncle, he grew up rapidly, purchasing wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops from Canada, Australia, the United States and other places with high quality and low price, processing them into flour, feed, soybean oil, etc., and then selling them all over the world.
It can be said that it was thanks to King Sugar's careful training and teachings that he quickly figured out the ways of doing business, made the family business prosperous, and earned a lot of money for his parents within the family. Honor.
In 1974, his sixth uncle also established Kerry Holdings Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong City as the flagship company of the Kwok family to conduct business in Hong Kong City and mainland China.
Shangri-La Hotel and Beijing International Trade Center are its later masterpieces.
Since 1980, King Sugar has appointed him as a director of Guo (Xin) Co., Ltd., in charge of the group's edible oil and grain business.
In 1986, Sugar King established Guo's Grain and Oil Company in order to further integrate resources and develop the grain and oil processing projects of Guo's Group overseas, especially in mainland China.
This year, Guo's Cereals and Oils specially established the Kerry Cereals and Oils Group in Hong Kong City as a professional platform to invest and expand the grain and oils business in mainland China. For this matter, the Sugar King also sent his nephew to take charge personally.
From this we can see how much King Sugar values him and how much responsibility he bears.
However, from his perspective, he didn’t quite understand it at first.
Obviously we can do better business overseas, so why send large sums of money to the undeveloped mainland of China?
But he still had doubts and did as Uncle Six asked.
After a market inspection later, he soon understood his uncle's good intentions.
The types of oil imported from mainland China are limited. In this era, they were still bulk commodities, such as palm oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, etc., which were mainly packaged in bulk or in large iron drums of 190 kilograms.
Domestic cooking oil uses bulk second-grade oil. This oil has many impurities, is dark yellow and turbid, fills the room with smoke when cooking, and easily deteriorates after being stored for a long time. You must bring your own oil pot when purchasing.
Small-packaged cooking oil that meets international hygiene standards is not available in the mainland market.
The spectacular scene of people living in mainland China queuing up to buy oil with small oil drums every day made Guo Kefeng immediately realize that this is a good opportunity to revolutionize China's edible oil. If a refinery is established in Shenzhen to produce small packages of edible oil for sale, the market It must be huge.
yes! This is really a big market with great potential.
After all, there are more than one billion people there, and everyone needs to eat.
If you don't take a share of this market, it will be taken away by others soon.
However, although this ambitious business plan is good, the Guo family is an outsider after all. They want to enter the mainland grain and oil market of the Republic as a foreign investor. In the current social environment of the mainland, there are still many obstacles, mainly from policies. level.
So, after repeated consideration and seeking advice from some mainland "experts", the "borrowing" plan came into being.
What Guo regarded as a "borrowing" target was COFCO, which was also eager to attract foreign investment to open up the oil and fat market.
Since June this year, Guo Kefeng has launched a negotiation process on cooperation on behalf of Guo Group and COFCO.
After several months of back-and-forth negotiations and entanglements, the two sides have finally reached an agreement.
Today is the day they signed the memorandum and letter of intent for cooperation.
Next, as long as he goes through the process and waits for the signature and approval from the above, the mainland's inland market will open the door for him.
He is very sure that the mainland of China will be dominated by his own brand "Arowana" blended oil in the future.
However, what was somewhat disappointing was that just as the sweet dream in his heart continued to rise with the smoke he exhaled, and was about to reach its most wonderful peak, an unexpected and urgent knock on the door disturbed him.
What made him even more unexpected was that the secretary's voice actually sounded at the door, "General Manager, something happened! An urgent call came from the Singapore headquarters..." (End of Chapter)
