Chapter 263: The Sky of Monkey Dung [Request for Full Order]

Baoqing Railway Station.

The weather in July and August is very hot under the sun, especially when driving or sitting in a car, it's as hot as a steamer.

Lu Yang only dared to park the car under the shade of trees.

At this time, looking at this Santana again, I feel a little disgusted.

Why do you say that?

It's not Santana, is there one with air conditioning?

actually not.

Santana is very expensive. In this era, an imported one costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if it is a domestically produced joint venture, a brand new Santana will cost nearly 20 yuan.

It is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In order to obtain as much profit as possible and give some room for bargaining to those who want to buy it, unscrupulous importers will remove some original accessories, such as cigarette lighters and car air conditioners, offshore before shipping the vehicles from abroad.

To put it in professional terms: this is called downsizing.

Of course, since there are reductions in configuration, there are also additions.

For example, the first Santana production line in Shanghai, China, produced the first batch of Santanas in the 80s. They learned from the imported car smugglers and did not install air conditioners inside the cars. If you want to install it later, you have to pay at least 1 yuan more.

Isn't this another extra profit?
Unfortunately, Lu Yang's Santana had all the problems. It had neither a cigarette lighter nor air conditioning. It was a Santana that was stripped down to the extreme.

But since it was quite funny, I didn't bother with it.

Before, when Lu Yang was driving this car, he didn't feel much impact because he had already quit smoking and now he doesn't smoke anymore. Although the winter in the south is quite cold now, it is generally not as cold as in the north, especially in the car. As long as you don't open the window, no matter how strong the north wind is, the cold wind can't blow in, so it's okay not to turn on the air conditioner.

But now, it's summer, and the sun is scorching outside. The perceived temperature is at least 40 degrees, especially on the curb. You dare not step on it barefoot because it will cause blisters. If you beat a raw egg on it, it will be cooked in a few minutes.

How to do?
"It seems that we have to find a way to install air conditioning. No, how about changing the car?"

Installing an air conditioner is cheap, only about ten thousand yuan.

But Lu Yang felt that this car was no longer suitable for him.

Why do you say that?
It’s not that Lu Yang likes to pretend, but people need clothes and horses need saddles, especially in this era. It’s useless to be introverted. If you have money, you have to show it. If you don’t show it, who will know that you have money?
If you drive a Mercedes-Benz G or a Santana to discuss business or meet with government leaders, the treatment you will get will definitely not be the same.

Lu Yang himself did not have such a deep understanding before, and thought that having a car was already good enough.

"These days, poor people can't even afford a bicycle. If they want to eat meat, they have to scrimp and save. They may not even get a bite of meat once a month. I drive a Santana sedan worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. What else can't I be satisfied with?"

But the reality is not like this.

This is an era of wild growth.

If you want to expand your business, you have to know how to pretend.

For example, if you have 10 yuan and you keep quiet, then you are just an ordinary citizen. But if you dare to be high-profile and pretend that you have 100 million yuan, then these days, basically no one will dare to mess with you in a small town or county.

The same is true.

If you have 100 million, you have to pretend you have 1000 million.

If you have 1000 million, then you have to pretend to have million.

At this point, even high-ranking officials may invite you to be the guest of honor.

A typical example: Mou Qizhong.

Is this person rich?

not necessarily.

Comparing net assets, Lu Yang even felt that Mou Qizhong might not even be able to compare with him.

But I know how to pretend!

Just after coming out of prison, penniless, he was able to borrow millions from the bank.

Looking at the entire mainland, who can do it?
Mou Qizhong did it.

This person is not only good at pretending, but also very good at making big promises. The big promises he makes smell good to many people.

So, how is this done?

Is it really just because he is good at bragging and has a silver tongue?
Of course not only that. Besides being a boaster and having a silver tongue, he also has luxury cars, luxury watches, bodyguards, a beautiful female secretary, and lives in a luxurious villa...

As for how it came about, don't worry about it.

Anyway, this era is not like the later generations, where it is easy to be exposed if you pretend to be smart.

People these days are easily deceived.

Lu Yang and Mou Qizhong had talked on the phone several times recently because of business discussions. Lu Yang also knew that Mou Qizhong owned a Mercedes-Benz G, commonly known as the Tiger-head Benz, which cost him more than 100w.

It's a smuggled car.

I also know that this guy has a gold watch, a pure gold Rolex.

It was brought to me privately by a friend in Hong Kong through some unspeakable channel.

I still know this guy. He is now in his hometown, living in a luxurious villa, building high-rise buildings, and creating an image of a rich man everywhere.

Mou Qizhong is a straightforward person, and if he feels that he can get along with you, he will talk to you about almost anything. He himself admitted that he was looked down upon for talking about business, and later he learned from his mistakes and bought a fake gold Rolex watch, the kind that fades when you sweat, and a fake thick gold chain, which floats in the water if you forget to take it off when you take a bath in a bathhouse.

But even so, it did not affect his pretense, and he became more and more successful.

From fake gold chains at the beginning to real gold chains, fake Rolex gold watches to real Rolex gold watches, second-hand scrapped cars modified with green paint, to the current Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Not many years have passed in total.

Why did Mou Qizhong tell Lu Yang this?

He pointed at Lu Yang: "Brother, your car is not good. You should learn from me, your elder brother. Sell your Santana and buy a good car. I promise you that as long as you change your car, your success rate in negotiating business will increase by at least 50%, and the attention of the local government will increase by at least 60%. As for the success rate of bank loans, hehe, I usually don't tell anyone, you figure it out on your own."

Lu Yang didn't believe it completely, but he didn't completely disbelieve it either.

At least, there is one thing that Mou Qizhong said that is definitely right. Whether you drive a luxury car or not, it will definitely be of great use when facing some people who look down on others. There is no doubt about it.

But is it really necessary to brag about it?

Lu Yang understood Mou Qizhong's purpose very well. The reason why he was so enthusiastic towards this younger brother whom he had just met was because he coveted his garment factory. He wanted to establish a good relationship with him first, and then buy from him on credit, use his money, and make clothes with his own money, so that he could do his business and exchange them for his big plane.

This is Mou Qizhong's usual tactic.

So this person has friends all over the world, and he is loyal, and he really means it, because if he pretends, he will be easily exposed.

What's the saying?

When the false becomes true, the true becomes false; when the true becomes false, the false becomes true.

When judging a person, we cannot just look at whether he is a good person or a bad person, nor can we just look at whether he is loyal or disloyal. We have to look at what he has been practicing.

Hypocrisy is also good.

Fake loyalty or what.

But as long as you can keep practicing it and practice it for your whole life, then this is true goodness, and this is true loyalty.

Point of departure?
Is this thing still important?

It's not important at all!
It is precisely because Lu Yang knows Mou Qizhong well that he will never destroy his own reputation.

Unless you really lose money.

If you don’t have money, no one can help you.

Then the answer is very clear: First, Mou Qizhong is absolutely reliable when he has money. He must be loyal and honest. Otherwise, the model of buying on credit first and paying later that he has worked hard to maintain would immediately collapse.

Second, this deal will definitely be successful, and if nothing unexpected happens, Mou Qizhong will definitely become rich.

So what's there to hesitate about?

Let’s get rich together!

That was why Lu Yang dared to make an agreement with the other party with confidence. As soon as he came back, he immediately started to acquire a ready-made factory and prepared to open a branch of the Meisite Garment Factory to customize foreign trade orders and specifically store winter clothes for the people of the Damao family.

Otherwise, do you really think Lu Yang is crazy?

Just for a piece of land of more than ten acres that would appreciate dozens or hundreds of times in ten or twenty years, they took the initiative to recruit so many disabled people.

Are you causing trouble for yourself?
It's because although he is a disabled person, he is also a skilled textile worker. As long as he is paid enough and allowed to come back to work, he can work at full capacity to produce the low-quality cloth he needs in large quantities.

Yes, it was just low-quality cloth, and there was no intention to humiliate them at all.

think about it.

These old machines are over 30 or 40 years old, but they can still work. This is all thanks to the durability of the machines made by our big brother, the Soviet Union. As for the fabrics produced, whether they are crooked or rough, that is not important. As I said before, as long as the quantity is large and enough is enough, it is fine.

"That's all."

"There's no rush to buy a luxury car."

"I can't learn from Mou Qizhong. This guy seems to go all out every time and reap great rewards every time, but he is also walking on a tightrope every time. If he is not careful, there will be an abyss below."

"That won't work."

"You can't learn from him. It's better to be down-to-earth, take one step at a time, and then climb to the top of Mount Tai, so that your foundation will be as solid as Mount Tai."

"But, hey, if this deal goes through, Mou Qizhong will at least be able to make 1 million from it. As one of his upstream suppliers and the first person to support him, it shouldn't be too much for me to have a small goal of making 10/ of it, right?"

"When the time comes, I won't have to worry about buying a luxury car."

"It will come naturally. Yes, that's a good word. I like to hear it."

"Move, move, move, wuwuwu..."

The sound of a train pulling into the station.

It was time to pick someone up again. Lu Yang put aside his fantasies, got off the bus, quickly closed the door, took out a newspaper from his arms, held it on his head, and ran into the platform under the scorching sun.

Coincidentally, he received two groups of people today.

One came from the south, and the other went from the north.

Those coming from the south can get on the train at Yangcheng, pass through Shaocheng, Hengcheng, Zhucheng, and transfer at Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province; those coming from the north can get on the train at the capital, pass through Changshan, Zhengcheng, Xuchang, Xincheng, Jiangcheng, and finally transfer at Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province.

This is called monkey dung, and it saves Lu Yang the trouble of having to pick them up in two separate trips in such a hot day.
