Chapter 213: Getting Something for Nothing [3000]

What difficulties do you need to overcome if you want to resell Big Brother’s big planes?
First, there must be a buyer.

You have to find a buyer first, collect the buyer's deposit, use the deposit to purchase supplies, and then use the supplies to exchange the big plane for it.

In this way, a foolproof closed loop is formed.

Otherwise, if even the buyer is not sure, where should we put the big plane if we want to replace it first?
This is not a toy, man!

Not to mention that he has no money, he can't even afford a big plane with the little money he has. Even if he has money, Mou Qizhong would never do this. He is not stupid enough to do that.

But just having a buyer and a deposit is not enough!

He is trying to get something for nothing.

With the few million cash he had in his hands, even with the deposit, it was probably not enough to buy the wheels for the plane, so how could he buy a big plane?
The price of cabbage does not mean real cabbage.

Big Brother's planes are still quite valuable. They are in short supply no matter where you put them. They are worth more than 40 or 50 million yuan. Even if they are discounted in half price or even further, they will still cost a lot of money.

Besides, what he wants to do is not just to buy one plane. Based on one, the more the better.

Mou Qizhong has a big appetite.

He thought about it and decided that in addition to collecting the buyer's deposit, if he wanted to complete this deal, he had to find a way to get the daily necessities to exchange for Brother Russian's big plane.

How big is this batch of supplies???
According to Mou Qizhong's own idea, he had to rent an entire train and run eight or ten trips. Four or five hundred carriages would not be too few, and seven or eight hundred carriages would not be too many.

Without so much cargo, we can’t exchange it for a big plane.

But where is the money for purchasing goods?

There is definitely no money, so I can only buy on credit. My own money can only be used to pay a deposit at most.

This is a good idea.

But how to gain people’s trust?

No matter how well you plan, it will be in vain if you cannot get the supply and cannot buy on credit.

Mou Qizhong has his own network of contacts.

He has been in business for so many years and has a good reputation, so naturally people will trust him.

However, you can never have too many connections like this.

Lu Yang runs a garment factory and is engaged in the clothing industry. He is also personally received by the leaders of the Canton Fair organizer and is qualified to participate in this entrepreneurs' symposium. This shows that it is by no means a small-scale operation.

It fully meets the requirements of his business as a downstream manufacturer providing daily necessities.

As for Big Brother, at this stage, although food is the most scarce thing, in addition to food, daily necessities and clothing are also among the most scarce items.

So, at this juncture, I learned that Lu Yang worked in the clothing industry.

Mou Qizhong suppressed the old-timer look on his face, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's meet formally. I'm Mou Qizhong, the chairman of Sino-German Company. People in the circle who are familiar with me call me Lao Mouzi or Mou Laoge. I love making friends the most."

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Lu Yang stretched out his hand and shook his hand, saying, "Hello, brother. I am Lu Yang, Lu of the Army and Yang of the sunshine. I also like making friends the most. It is a great honor to meet brother Mou today. I wonder if I can treat brother Mou to a drink later?"

Mou Qizhong wanted to meet him.

He also wanted to meet Mou Qizhong.

It’s that simple when we hit it off.

Mou Qizhong took the initiative to extend the olive branch. Even if Lu Yang did not invite him, the two sides could sit together privately later. As long as he did not act too distant and keep people at a distance, I am afraid Mou Qizhong would also say the next words, but that would be like Mou Qizhong inviting him.

Has Lu Yang ever thought about keeping people at a distance?

Mou Qizhong was interested in him.

He is also interested in the other party.

In this case, why not be more proactive, win more favor from the other party, and facilitate subsequent private meetings between the two parties, and possibly reach cooperation in certain areas.

"Good good."

Mou Qizhong was really delighted and said happily: "That's what I was thinking too. I accept Brother Lu's invitation. Remember not to leave after the meeting. Let's go have a drink together as friends of different ages."

Lu Yang also said happily: "Let's make a deal. Brother Mou, you are a senior in business, and I am your fan. The purpose of this meal later is to listen to your teachings on business. You are not allowed to keep anything to yourself."

"Haha, easy to talk about."

At this moment, Mou Qizhong felt like he had eaten a ginseng fruit. When Lu Yang held him in his arms, he suddenly felt as if he was floating in the air.

This is a sure thing. The other party is my fan, so it should be no problem to buy him on credit.

We were chatting when we entered the meeting room. If we make loud noises at this time, it would be considered as disrespectful to the organizer.

The two of them immediately shut up tacitly, then separated and each followed the staff's instructions to find a seat to sit down. Lu Yang took a quick look and realized that there must be at least 40 or 50 people who could attend this private entrepreneur symposium. Such a large conference room actually seemed a bit crowded.

As for the seating arrangement, there are also some rules to follow.

Those who are famous, have strong capital, and come from provincial capitals are ranked higher, while those who are less famous, less well-funded, and come from small places are ranked lower.

The advantage of being closer to the front is that you can communicate directly with the leaders.

If you are sitting a little further back, your leader won’t be able to see you unless you stand up.

Lu Yang had all three, so he was naturally led by the staff to the end of the meeting room.

Staying here, there are crowds of people in front of you, and you can't hear the leader's words clearly. Apart from not being able to get along well with the leader and build relationships with him, it seems quiet and you don't have to worry about accidentally walking into the camera.

Just kidding.

Such an important event, with such a high-ranking leader in attendance, would definitely be on the evening news.

City TV station, provincial TV station, 100%, as for higher levels, it’s hard to say.

Lu Yang didn't say that he didn't want to be on TV news, but he hoped to be on the news as a positive protagonist, not just a passerby or a small follower.

This is meaningless and cannot achieve the purpose of promoting your own business.

Just like this, the private entrepreneurs in the front row were chatting animatedly with the leaders and laughing heartily from time to time, but he was behind them and couldn't hear clearly and just felt sleepy.

Fortunately, although this was an impromptu meeting, the organizer was quite efficient. In less than half an hour, staff had printed out the purpose of this private entrepreneurs' symposium and the content of the leaders' speeches, and distributed them all to the private entrepreneurs present.

Lu Yang naturally received one.

After taking a look, I found that it was exactly as Vice Mayor Xu had expected. It was said to be a symposium for private entrepreneurs, providing a venue for them to communicate with each other, but its actual purpose was only one: to attract investment.

Looking through the entire meeting minutes, they all point to this purpose.

In addition, the document specifically points out Guangdong Province's investment environment and the Guangzhou government's desire for investment, including but not limited to providing certain preferential treatments.

They are all listed in this document.

unfortunately,

I don't need it yet.

Lu Yang shook his head and knocked on the door, putting the documents aside.

I thought to myself, "It's better not to sit in the front. I'm afraid those private entrepreneurs sitting in the front are also struggling with their feelings at the moment. They have invited me so sincerely. If you don't agree, it seems a bit unreasonable. If you agree, you may not have a suitable project in your hands that can be implemented in Guangzhou."

Hey, when you think about it, if you don’t have enough strength, those sitting at the back will have it the easiest.

The meeting has been held and the faces have been revealed, without any need to make any promises.

Just like that, with Lu Yang's wild thoughts, this symposium lasted for more than an hour and finally ended successfully. He originally thought that since he was there, he would more or less go up and shake hands with the leaders and show his face, but he was wrong, there was no place for him at all.

Fortunately, there is a link at the end that can prove that his trip was not in vain.

Let’s take a group photo.

For such an occasion and such a grand event, how can we miss a group photo?
Businessmen seek profit.

Lu Yang didn't dare to say it for everyone present, but at least he dared to say that more than 80% of the businessmen present were probably looking forward to the next photo session.

This thing can be used to enhance one's status and reputation.

Once the photos are developed, it means that every businessman here will have a copy, and then they can take them back and frame them in their own offices. This is especially true for those businessmen who may not be very successful in the future. Even after several decades, it will be a kind of capital that they can brag about.

This kind of formalism is just a bully.

Lu Yang was not interested at all. He just walked forward following the staff's instructions. He was not like some businessmen who were rushing to the stage to grab a position that was closest to the leader and most conspicuous.

Lu Yang doesn’t fight?

I'm sorry, you are so arrogant, please move to the side.

Just like that, as everyone was scrambling to get a good position, Lu Yang's refusal to compete would only mean that he would be constantly pushed to the periphery until no one was further back than him.

"Click."

"All right."

The last frame freezes, and Lu Yang's face appears on the photo, the first position on the far left of the last row.

Even Mou Qizhong, who had arranged to meet him privately after the meeting, felt a little indignant for him and said angrily:

"Brother, it's right to listen to me. Next time if there is such an opportunity, just rush forward. As long as the staff don't pull you, you should take as good a position as possible. This will only benefit you in business in the future. Don't learn from those old scholars who say that doing business should also follow the doctrine of the mean of our ancestors. What the hell is the doctrine of the mean? If I, Mou Qizhong, followed these fake tricks, I would have starved to death long ago."

These are all from the bottom of my heart.
