Chapter 24: A Trip to America
"Sister is going to come out to set up her own factory?" Zhang Nan was pleasantly surprised: he had bewitched his cousin to come out to set up a factory since the beginning of the year, she has connections, ability, and connections, and now that the policy is a little liberalized, the prospects will be very good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Brother-in-law stayed in Guan Xingquan to help Zhang Hui, that must be my sister preparing to set up a factory!
"Well, I have this preparation, and I plan to do it after the year. In the silk factory, there is a way out of the silk factory to stay without pay. ”
"I want to buy shares!" Zhang Nan said immediately.
"With your share, I plan to build a small factory of a few thousand yuan first and take my time. ”
"If you want to do it, you can make it big, and a few thousand yuan is nothing. As he spoke, he took out his briefcase, took out two stacks of green bills from it and handed them to his brother-in-law.
"Where's the dollar?"
It's all 100 dollars, a whole 20,000! And there's 10,000 in the briefcase!
Seeing his brother-in-law's slightly surprised expression, "Let you scare me yesterday!" Zhang Nan felt a little relieved in his heart.
But I have to answer honestly: "Didn't you meet two Americans who came to us for a tour on the back car, and it happened that I met them when I was waiting at Shanghai Station when I went to Jin Province."
Later, I chatted with them, and it turned out that those two guys were the owners and executives of a large luggage company in the United States, so they sold their little idea related to bags and could apply for a patent. ”
"No state secrets involved?" Xiang Weirong asked.
It must not be easy to buy it for tens of thousands of dollars.
Although his brother-in-law is bold and sometimes does things unexpectedly, he has always been proud of being a Chinese soldier, and he never does anything that infringes on national interests.
"Just add a telescopic rod and two wheels to the bag, and you can walk without having to pull it hard. ”
As he spoke, he took a cigarette case and gestured with it.
"Americans value patents, and this idea allows them to lead the market, and if they make a few million dollars, it's cheaper for them. ”
Zhang Nan felt that it was cheaper.
Yes, Zhang Nan thought of the "trolley box" that would only be invented in 1991, a small idea, but no one came up with it.
"It doesn't matter, but with such a big profit, it would be nice to give your sister this idea. When Xiang Weirong heard this, he felt a little pity.
"It's useless, brother-in-law. If my sister gets a factory that produces this kind of trolley box, it will be prosperous for a while at most, and it won't take half a year, and there will be counterfeits everywhere.
Now China's patent protection is not perfect, it is better to do foreign trade silk business, that is hard technology, and the last five or six years will definitely be popular.
You can also make a tie, this thing is now profitable, and it has been booming for at least 10 years!"
Think about the huge copycat army in the future, trolley boxes and other daily necessities with little technical content, and the replacement of counterfeit goods is faster than yours!
And in the future, the world-famous "Huaxia Commodity City" will be in the next county, and the production of trolley cases can be booming for a while, but the continuous competitiveness is definitely not comparable to others.
It is the silk tie, in the future, Yan County will be called the "world tie capital", to the late 90s, the tie factory opened by the Yan County people, the output has accounted for more than half of the world!
There are also many brand-name products of independent brands, and there are many world famous brands to OEM manufacturing.
The tie industry in Huiyan County has just started, and the first factory has only been established for two years, with less than 40 workers.
Regional industry groups have obvious advantages, my sister will run a tie factory will definitely make a lot of money, and it would be better if there was independent foreign trade rights.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, hurry up and let my sister register a company, and we will go to the United States in a while." ”
"What?to America?!"
"When you go to the United States as convenient as going to Hangzhou?" Xiang Weirong's mind was a little unturned, this brother-in-law's thinking was too jumpy!
"Do you think it was Lao Tzu who went to teach those Southeast Asian monkeys a lesson, and he went if he wanted?"
Even Guan Xingquan, who was too lazy to speak, looked at Zhang Nan in surprise.
Zhang Nan's tone just now said that going to the United States was as casual as going to a neighbor's house.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. ”
Seeing the reactions of the two, Zhang Nan hurriedly explained: "I forgot to say just now, the two Americans I conceived are quite in the spirit of contract." I asked for $80,000, but they couldn't come up with it at once, so they used the insufficient part to give an invitation to 12 people in the United States for a business trip, and they covered the cost, so they still owed me $20,000.
Originally, I wanted to use it as a big favor and go on a trip to open my eyes. Now for my sister, I can not only expand my business, but also link it with foreign business and turn it into a real business visit. ”
Zhang Nan thinks very well: this person who makes bags and is barely a companion to tie and silk, will always know a few people, right?
In fact, Zhang Nan proposed the business investigation himself: the two Americans talked about the spirit of the contract and wanted to send someone to send someone to send less than $50,000 next time, but Zhang Nan refused.
It's going to be a hassle to even transfer money!
Because he wanted to go to the United States to do something, if it wasn't for the invitation of a business visit, he wouldn't have been able to go at all.
And this time it's really a coincidence-12 places, even if you and your sister's family, plus this super thug Guan Xingquan, and one or two translators, salesmen or something, you can also give a few places to the leaders of departments related to the opening of the factory.
In the 80s, I was able to go to the United States for free to open my eyes, it was pie in the sky!
My sister wants to set up a factory, and those gang of officials don't have the green light all the way?
It's not easy!
In order to be able to sell ideas on the train, and to prevent people from reversing after understanding the idea, Zhang Nan's brain cells were reimbursed for millions!
"Oh. "Now the other two have figured out the situation.
"By the way, brother-in-law, when will the Post and Telecommunications Bureau be able to make international calls?"
"It seems like this month, I'll call in the afternoon and ask. ”
A few months ago, the first set of 2,000 program-controlled telephone exchanges in Yan County was driven by his brother-in-law and pulled back from Shanghai, and Zhang Nan knew about it.
"Contact the Yankees?"
"Well, they left me phone and fax numbers, and they were waiting for my call to make good on their promise. ”
"Is it reliable?" the brother-in-law was a little worried, he didn't have much of a good impression of the Americans.
"It should be reliable, it is a century-old company in the United States, and it should pay attention to the spirit of contract. ”
That being said, Zhang Nan can only hope that those two guys can fulfill their promises, otherwise even if they break the contract, they will have no way to do it.
After talking for a long time, Zhang Nan thought of Guan Xingquan's matter, "Brother-in-law, what did you say about Brother Guan just now?"
"Your brother Guan can speak English, Vietnamese and Russian, and I was thinking about whether I could help your sister do foreign trade in the future. If you can't deal with it, it's okay to look at the contract information, no matter how bad it is, you can be a security guard and porter, and you won't treat him badly anyway, lest he go out and run around.
Besides, there is only one old lady in Xingquan's family, and I plan to let him bring someone to us. But it's hard to find a house for the time being, so I wonder if I can live there for a while. “
"Great! Brother Guan and Auntie will live with me, and they can live as long as they want!" Zhang Nan is really happy, his family is a self-built house, the house is rich, and Auntie can still help him look at the house.
"Brother Guan, my home is your home, you can live as long as you want!"
As he spoke, he picked up the envelope again and handed it to Guan Xingquan: "My brother will take it, and my sister will pay your salary first." Also, in a day or two, I plan to go to Guizhou Province to do a serious business by myself, and then I need you to go to work together, which is a business trip subsidy. ”
Seeing that Guan Xingquan still didn't want it, Xiang Weirong spoke: "Take it, just pay the salary in advance." When you come back from Gui Province, I will go to Jiaojiang with you to pick up people, and you will be at ease to develop here in the future, and the squad leader will not be able to lose you.
Smuggling to make money will cost you your head. ”
