Chapter Ninety-Five: The Rich Family Returns
After the "Pokémon" contract was signed, Shueisha's publication of "Dragon Ball" was no longer stuck in printing, so within a few months, Yang Dongxu got his first remuneration.
But these are all later words, and now Yang Dongxu is muttering to Dongzi every day, constantly contacting Wu Aibing's side to mobilize goods from the south and prepare to go to the north to do a big job.
This is a special group that appeared in the 80s, and the main trade object is the Soviet Union, which has developed heavy industry and is very lacking in light industry.
In fact, Yang Dongxu is not the first batch of people to be a fallen master, as early as two years ago, there were businessmen who went to the north to be a fallen master, and now on the other side of the Heihe River, as well as several counties and cities bordering the Soviet Union, there are many trade fairs promoted by the fallen master.
"It's a bit risky to get so many at once, won't you get back?" Dongzi looked at Yang Dongxu a little worriedly.
He is not unfamiliar with the affairs of the fallen master, after all, he is also a little famous in Yanjing, and there are many fallen masters who go to the north and many of them take goods from him. However, Lao Maozi's side doesn't seem to be very peaceful, and some of them have made a lot of money, and some have gone and never come back.
Therefore, Dongzi, who already has a lot of wealth, can't hold his head to exchange money like before. Therefore, I didn't pay much attention to the trade in the north.
At the same time, Yang Dongxu has been in a state of retreat and study in the past few years, except for taking care of the stalls that have been rolled out a little, he has not thought about expanding his business at all, so they have not drunk the soup.
"How did you transport goods to Yanjing from that side before, but now how do you transport them to the Heihe River, there are boats, and you can sail from here to Heihe all year round, so you can continue to trade. ”
"It's not as safe as Yanjing over there, is it?" asked Dongzi about his concerns.
At the beginning, he only dared to come over in large quantities from the south, naturally because he was familiar with Sijiu City, and there were people on the official face and the street who had a bottom in their hearts, but going to Heihe was a black eye.
"I didn't plan on letting you go to the territory of the Soviet Union, at least for now, it's too risky. Yanjing has a lot of old hairies, looking for someone to inquire who has some influence on the other side of Heihe, we don't go to the interior of the Soviet Union and trade with him directly in Heihe. ”
"It's the same as before, but now that the identity has changed, let's be a businessman in the south, and let Lao Maozi on the Soviet side be a second-tier dealer himself?" Dongzi's eyes lit up.
"That's pretty much what it means, the customs clearance is clear for us, so it's easy to send the ship over, but we don't have a way out on the Soviet side, so it's a little difficult to get in.
But it's not so troublesome to find a partner, we are responsible for the things on our side, he is responsible for the things on his side, we only need to be responsible for delivering the goods, and then check out and leave. But when trading, we want rubles, not yuan. Yang Dongxu said.
"This method is good, although Lao Maozi is a little lazy, but the matter of making money must be very positive. But in the past two years, although the relationship between us and Lao Maozi has eased, it is a little difficult to find acquaintances. Dongzi frowned.
"Ask the older generation, when the Soviet Union assisted us in construction, many old people had a few old friends. Yang Dongxu thought about it, Zhou Yiren seemed to have told him that when he was still teaching in Yanjing, he had a few good Soviet friends.
"I'll go and inquire, no, my grandfather also has some acquaintances over there, let him help ask, but it's a bit troublesome if it's fixed on the other side of the Black River, after all, although that place is borderline with us, people you know don't necessarily work over there, right?"
"Let's ask first, anyway, it takes time to mobilize the goods, and it really won't work, when the time comes, we will transport the goods to Heihe and sell them directly to those 'fallen masters', although we can't make more, but we won't suffer losses." Yang Dongxu also felt that what Dongzi said made sense, so he thought of a safe way, but they went for the ruble, and this method could only be used when the situation was worst.
"Then I'll go back first. Dongzi nodded, feeling a lot more steady. Even if you don't earn the ruble you want the most, you won't suffer, no, there's nothing to worry about.
When Zhou Yiren came back in the evening, Yang Dongxu told him about it.
"There's a lot of profit here?" Zhou Yiren asked with a raised brow.
"It's a little old, it's ...... The Soviets bought things in Yanjing, and it was obviously 10 yuan for the price, but they gave 10 yuan rubles, and it felt cheap, do you say the profit is big?"
"In the past two years, our relationship with the big brother in the north has not been very good, will something happen?" Zhou Yiren couldn't help but be a little worried.
Some of the words I talked with the chief in the past few years have been implemented step by step in recent years, and the country has indeed gained a lot of benefits when it has mastered the scale of left and right.
And the big brother in the north also felt that the little brother next to him seemed to be a little disobedient, so he held several large-scale military exercises.
However, both sides are still restrained, and the relationship has eased a lot on the surface in the past two years. At a certain price, China has also gained a lot of what it wants. But secretly it is still turbulent.
"It's just a simple commercial trade, I ship the goods here, and they take over the sales, although the volume is a little larger, but they all go through the formal procedures. We make money, and he also makes money together, and we don't cheat them. ”
"I'll ask you about this matter, but you must grasp the scale. Zhou Yiren finally nodded.
Although he didn't want his godgrandson to be too prominent and cause unnecessary trouble, it didn't mean that he asked Yang Dongxu not to do anything. Since things are promising, there is no risk, and there is no reason not to make money.
When Yang Dongxu was looking for relations with the Soviet Union, Fu Chaming took his two uncles to the door again, and the place where they met was still the big courtyard.
Like Fu Chaming, his second uncle Fu Dehai and fifth uncle Fu Decai also knelt down respectfully to salute Old Man Xuan. However, Yang Dongxu had a doubt in his heart, didn't the rich family have the surname Fucha? Why was it that only Fucha was 'Fucha', but his two uncles were Fude?
While Yang Dongxu was thinking about the intentions of these three people in his heart, Fu Dehai and Fu Decai were also thinking about Old Man Xuan and him. Although there was already a reminder from Fuchaming before coming to see such an antique courtyard, the two of them were still very surprised.
They had heard their father talk about the 'Grandpa Xuan' in front of them more than once, and they also knew something about the era of chaos 80 years ago.
It stands to reason that it is very good for Grandpa Xuan to be able to eat and dress warmly with such an identity, how can he still live in such a big yard, and it seems that not only is there no fetters, but he is very nourished.
This made them put away the arrogance of Hong Kong people looking at mainlanders from the bottom of their hearts, and slowly corrected their mentality. After all, whether it is his father's reminder or the scene he sees in front of him, there is no harm in being respectful to this grandpa Xuan, and maybe there is still benefit.
"I can guess a little bit about your intentions, but I don't plan to meddle in this matter, you can tell him something. "Let Yang Dongxu take out two more objects and give them to Fu Chaming's two uncles as a greeting gift, Old Man Xuan raised his chin to Yang Dongxu and signaled that 'he' was Yang Dongxu.
"This ......," the three rich family members all frowned.
Yang Dongxu also looked at Old Man Xuan in some surprise, like Zhou Yiren, Old Man Xuan didn't want him to be too prominent before, and even wished that he would hide directly in the shadows and not show up. Now he has pushed him directly to the front desk, and it seems that he has a lot of confidence in the old man of Fucha Jiaxuan.
"It's hot outside, so let's sit inside. Seeing that Old Man Xuan was slowly shaking the rocking chair with his eyes closed and had no intention of speaking again, Yang Dongxu had no choice but to lead the three people from the rich family to the main hall.
It is no longer the era a few years ago when you had to look for someone to get a batch if you wanted to sell an air conditioner, so all kinds of household appliances in the courtyard are very complete.
However, Old Man Xuan likes the refrigerator though, because chilled watermelon is his summer favorite. However, he didn't have much thought about the air conditioner, even if it was hot now, he was lying under the grapevine and waving a fan made of bamboo shoot leaves, waving a slight sweat, and he didn't want to blow the air conditioner in the house.
It is always said that the human body should go through the cold winter all year round in order to smooth the essence and make the body healthier. Otherwise, the four seasons will be chaotic, and many diseases will follow.
Yang Dongxu, who has always believed that Old Man Xuan is a god stick, also agrees with this, because there are indeed many air-conditioning diseases in later generations. However, as long as he insists on exercising, this kind of unsmooth spirit will also be smooth, so he feels that there is no need to have air conditioning in summer and do not need to use fans.
Yang Dongxu's choice Old man Xuan never asked, even if he insisted on his own point of view, he would not let Yang Dongxu maintain the same point of view as him. So Yang Dongxu chose to blow the air conditioner, and he wouldn't stop it.
Yang Dongxu likes all kinds of languages, knows Japanese, German is also good now, and is ready to learn French, but he is not interested in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he didn't say anything.
"I don't know what the three of you are here for?" The old man Xuan, who was always unsure in such a large courtyard, never wanted to find a servant, so Yang Dongxu had to wash a plate of fruit and serve it, and pour tea for the three of them at the same time.
After taking a seat, he naturally sat on the main seat, and next to him sat Fu Chaming's second uncle Fu Dehai, and the lower position was Fu Chaming, and opposite Fu Chaming was the fifth uncle Fu Decai.
This seat gave Yang Dongxu an instant understanding of the status of the rich family, after all, the rich family's tutor took a very traditional route. Therefore, according to the seniority, the fifth uncle Fude should be seated, but Fu Chaming sat there, which proves that Fu Chaming's status in the rich family is not low.
The three rich families glanced at each other vaguely, and finally Fu Deshan, who was sitting next to Yang Dongxu, spoke: "This time I came to the mainland mainly to invest, the old man is very optimistic about the mainland market, let us explore the way." ”
This sentence is half-true, and at the same time, it doesn't say that I actually want to cooperate with Old Man Xuan here. Because he was not at ease with Yang Dongxu, a small child.
"Oh, which industry are you optimistic about?" Yang Dongxu was not surprised by Fu Decai's words.
After all, it is not uncommon for Hong Kong businessmen to invest in the mainland now, and those who have connections will naturally go away. They are all Chinese, and naturally know that sometimes human relations are better than waving banknotes.
"I haven't thought about it yet, I don't know if Yang Shao has any suggestions?" Fude asked rhetorically.
