Chapter 214: Bragging and Never Being Afraid of Anyone [3200]
What Mou Qizhong said is actually correct.
After all, no one knows what the future will be like. As a businessman, you should be good at seizing every opportunity to market yourself and your company.
It’s like in later generations, those business tycoons have obviously achieved financial freedom long ago, and they are also very clear that being an internet celebrity businessman is a very embarrassing thing. Attracting criticism is the least, and it is possible to be scolded, but they still do it without hesitation.
Only by grasping the present can we better grasp the future. Qualified businessmen will regard this as the golden rule.
There is a reason why Mou Qizhong was successful and became the first richest man in China after the reform and opening up.
Lu Yang listened to it.
I also think it makes sense, but I don’t plan to learn it.
Other businessmen can't see the future.
He can see.
Other businessmen are worried about the uncertainty of the future.
He's not worried.
Because they are uncertain whether they will have the opportunity to take a photo with their boss again tomorrow after today, so many businessmen would rather put aside their dignity and squeeze to the front as much as possible to pick a better position for themselves.
But Lu Yang is too clear about it. He knows that he will succeed tomorrow and make his career bigger in the future. Otherwise, he will be unworthy of his identity as a reborn person.
If this is the case, then why bother competing with these people who cannot see the future?
It’s not easy to explain the reason to Mou Qizhong.
Lu Yang just smiled faintly and let the matter go. He then asked Mou Qizhong about the purpose of his trip south and whether he could have the opportunity to cooperate with him.
Big Brother is in internal turmoil and is not far from falling. Countless people are climbing up to suck his blood crazily.
Lu Yang is from the south, has no connections, has a shallow foundation, and is unwilling to take risks. It would be difficult for him to just lie down and suck the blood.
However, just because you can't suck blood crazily directly, it doesn't mean you can't take advantage of it in a roundabout way.
It is a great opportunity to meet Mou Qizhong.
"Brother, you've got the point."
What made Mou Qizhong happiest was that every time Lu Yang spoke, it could make him feel itchy inside.
The words that he had just been preparing to say to the young man, taking advantage of his seniority, were instantly thrown to the sky by him.
Sit up straight.
Look around.
The place where the two of them are now is a private room on the second floor of a relatively high-end Cantonese teahouse.
Privacy is naturally no problem.
Mou Qizhong's extra glance was entirely due to the habit he had formed over the past few decades, which was to always maintain a vigilant business mindset.
"Brother, I just came back from Big Brother's place recently. The scenery there is beautiful and there are many ways to make money. Have you ever thought about going there to take a look?"
This is an interesting question.
After saying that, Mou Qizhong looked straight at Lu Yang.
The consciousness is also simple.
If Lu Yang showed great interest in the things in the north, or even showed that he was planning to take a trip there, he would suppress the words that were brewing in his mind.
Because since this little brother has already planned to fleece the big brother himself, there is no role for the middleman!
What business are we still talking about?
Let's just treat it as making friends, drinking tea, having a meal, and then part ways amicably. Don't say anything. From now on you will be competitors.
Fortunately, the young man in front of him didn't seem to have such intentions. He just smiled and said, "Brother Mou, you are testing me. I don't have the connections like you do. The money from the Russians is easy to make, but I don't have connections. I can't be a fierce dragon crossing the river. If I force myself to squeeze in, I won't make much money. It's boring to make a small move. Besides, it's easy to offend our business friends in the north of our country. Brother Mou, don't you agree?"
That's exactly what I meant.
Mou Qizhong's heart was relieved, and he also imitated Lu Yang's behavior, grinning and saying, "What if I tell you a secret, little brother, I can get the train car that passes through the north?"
"Seriously? Brother, you are not kidding, right?"
Lu Yang suddenly stood up in "shock" and accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table in front of him, spilling tea all over the table.
He said in disbelief, "Brother, aren't you from Xichuan Province? As far as I know, the northern business community is very exclusive. They don't even have enough train cars for their own use. How can they really let you get a train car that can pass through customs and get to Big Brother's place?"
This was of course an act. Lu Yang, who knew Mou Qizhong's abilities well, was 100% confident in him.
Mou Qizhong chuckled: "You don't know this, right? My network of connections is not as simple as you see. If I don't have some skills, how can I become a guest of honor of the big bosses of the provincial party committees?"
This is true.
When taking the photo just now, Lu Yang also noticed that this guy was indeed standing in the first row, and was very close to the two big bosses of the organizers. He was much better than himself, who was like a small fry on the edge.
So he said, "Since you said yes, I will believe you."
"That's right."
Seeing that Lu Yang believed it, Mou Qizhong was relieved. Otherwise, he really couldn't continue. Just explaining this would be a bit unclear.
Do you really have to shout that you and so-and-so are some such-and-such in the north, and that through so-and-so's connections, you can definitely make a train? My dear brother, you can rest assured.
Can this be said externally?
Mou Qizhong is not crazy. He is only in his 40s, not even 50 years old, so it is still a long way from Alzheimer's disease.
Lu Yang chuckled: "Brother, you are awesome, but why didn't you keep it a secret and reveal such an important secret to me? Could it be that you want to help me get rich?"
When should you show your cards?
Lu Yang felt that the time was almost right.
Mou Qizhong was indeed happy again.
It’s so good, so good. This is the natural reaction when the itch in your heart is aroused.
And I couldn't help but think: Good boy, no wonder you are so young and can talk business with me, you are really capable.
"It's like this, little brother. I won't hide it from you. This time I went to the Maozi family in the north and finalized a huge deal. I came back this time to find a buyer. If this deal can be negotiated, then we will urgently need a large amount of daily necessities that can satisfy the Maozi brothers in the north.
For example, canned food, these guys love to eat this stuff, and there is also white wine. It is said that the people over there would rather die than not drink. When they are hungry, they can even drink the engine antifreeze. Finally, clothes, clothes that can keep out the cold, are also urgently needed supplies over there, do you understand?"
How could Lu Yang not understand?
This is a tacit two-way journey.
However, you still have to pretend.
Lu Yang frowned slightly, and then told the truth: "To be honest, my factory currently mainly produces summer and autumn clothes, and winter clothes have not yet started."
Having said this, he immediately changed the subject.
Of course, if there is a real need, it is not impossible to start production immediately. Let me put it this way, I am not very talented, but there are nearly a thousand skilled sewing women in the factory. If we really work at full capacity and have enough raw materials, I dare not say that we can take orders worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions, but for orders worth nearly tens of millions, if we rush the production schedule and deliver the goods within half a year, I dare guarantee that we can still do it. "
Isn't it just bragging?
Lu Yang has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to bragging.
Also, don't disbelieve it. Although this is just boasting, it is not impossible to achieve it as long as all conditions are met.
Mou Qizhong slammed the table and said happily, "Okay, little brother, I was right about you. You can complete a 1000 million order within half a year, right? Then I will place the order now. I will give you 1200 million and give you an extra 20% profit. However, I want to sell on credit, so I can only pay you a deposit of 100 million at most. The rest of the balance will have to wait until I, your brother, transport all your clothes and other goods to Big Brother in the north. After completing this big deal, I will come back and pay you all at once. How about it? If you trust me, your brother, we can sign the contract now."
Lu Yang almost burst into curse.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people.
For goods worth 1000 million, only a deposit of 100 million is given, and you have to get the goods first, and then ship them abroad, and then come back to pay after they are sold.
God!
Are you sure this isn't a scam?
That is Lu Yang. He is sure that he will succeed, and as long as he completes this deal, he will be the richest man in mainland China and will definitely not be short of money.
Otherwise, if someone else dared to say such shameless words, he would have kicked them out long ago.
Increase the price by 20%?
Bah, you still want other people’s profits? Aren’t you worried that they are coming for your capital?
Lu Yang took a deep breath. He could not rush this matter and had to take his time. Then he said, neither agreeing nor refusing, "Brother, you haven't even decided on the buyer for this business yet. Isn't it too early to rush to place an order to purchase the materials?"
After hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Mou Qizhong's face.
Indeed, he was a little anxious just now.
However, it was not a lie. Even if the large aircraft could not be negotiated for the time being, he still planned to place an order from Lu Yang, just for the production capacity that Lu Yang had just boasted about. As long as this batch of winter clothes could be safely transported to the Russians, he would not worry about not making money after selling them.
"Well, brother, you have to trust me. Let's not sign the contract yet. You have to produce winter clothes anyway. When you go back, increase your production capacity and produce more. Once I have confirmed the buyer, I will come to you to place an order. How do you think?"
He was worried that Lu Yang would be scared away, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Yang's wishes and put the matter on hold.
Lu Yang smiled nonchalantly, and then gave him some advice: "Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you want to make this big deal, you shouldn't come to Yangcheng. Yangcheng is the Yangcheng of Guangdong businessmen, not Yangcheng for you and me."
"Unless you and I move our business here one day and take root, then the leaders here will naturally support our business."
"Brother, do you think this is right?"
"So, if I were you, I would go straight back to the southwest. That is your territory. No matter what business you want to do, if you want to bring back any good stuff from you, just contact the local leaders. As long as it is profitable, I believe they will definitely support you."
In order to help the old man avoid taking detours, Lu Yang decided to help him.
