Chapter 302: Direction of Development
The two of them sat on the balcony and swallowed the clouds, watching the brilliant afterglow of the sky, feeling the light sea breeze, Thierry suddenly said, "Actually, smoking cigars should be in the room, so that the smoke will not dissipate easily, and the fragrance will be stronger, why don't we go inside?"
"Don't go," Chen Dahe decisively refused, and the smoke did not disperse, it was not that he smoked second-hand smoke for himself, he couldn't stand this.
So the turtle is the turtle, and he is not used to high-end things, Chen Dahe smiled self-deprecatingly, threw the cigar aside, picked up a bottle of Phoenix beer and poured it again, and then took a sip.
Cool, sure enough, this is still suitable for yourself.
Putting the beer glass on the table, Chen Dahe turned his head to look at Thierry and said, "Lao Di, have you ever thought about what you want to do?"
Thierry was stunned, glanced at him, then looked at the waves in the distance and said, "If someone else asked me, I would say that I want to be a great businessman and be able to support the honor of the family, and then a bunch of noble reasons, what to improve the people's lives, increase the country's economic strength, etc., but in front of you, my answer is, I haven't thought about it!"
Chen Dahe did not speak, Thierry continued, "I am different from my two elder brothers, they have great ambitions to change the country and change people's lives, and I will only hide in the nest to entertain myself, I have many hobbies, music, dance, travel, architecture, and reading,"
Speaking of this, Thierry turned his head to look at Chen Dahe and grinned, "Especially the martial arts of your country, Great Love! β
"Hehe," Chen Dahe smiled, "Go back and wait for the printing factory in the deep array to start, and I'll send you a set of simplified Chinese versions." β
"Well," Thierry nodded, returned to his posture just now, raised his eyebrows, and said lazily, "It's a pity that these are not what my father wants, he wants me to become a successful businessman, our family is still too weak in business, even if it has high political influence in Mauritius, but out of Mauritius, in front of those multinational companies, it is nothing." β
"So my dream later is to become a great businessman," Thierry shrugged, "Although it was given to me by others, I still want to realize it, and my own ideas don't matter anymore, Lao Chen, your appearance gave me this opportunity, if it weren't for Mocha Company, maybe I would have repeated the footsteps of my ancestors, starting from selling cane sugar, to make so much money, I don't know how long it will be later,"
"That's why my father is very happy to get back that half of the shares," Thierry said apologetically, "and he wants me to make Mocha a big company that can be known throughout Africa, even in Europe, and that this company will be the glory of the Priag family." β
"I understand," Chen Dahe nodded, "Lao Di, don't feel sorry, really,"
Chen Dahe looked at him, "If this company can have the current results, it can be said that the family behind you occupies the decisive factor, so it should belong to you, belong to Priag, I have already received my return, and I have also harvested a small island." β
Patting the file bag on the table, Chen Dahe smiled, "There is even a stupid person who promised to help me redecorate." β
"Hey, who's stupid," Thierry pouted dissatisfied, but his eyes were full of smiles, "Remember, this is a deal, and if you don't have a plan that satisfies me, I'll definitely stand by and let you go to the island with bats as company." β
"That's terrible," Chen Dahe pretended to be panicked, "It looks like I'm going to have to rack my brains." β
"No," Thierry shook his head solemnly, "even if you rack your brains, you won't be able to do it if you don't have dry goods!"
"No problem," Chen Dahe pointed at him with a smile, "I'll give you some dry goods." β
Thierry laughed, "Listen up." β
"Old Di," Chen Dahe turned his head to look at him and said, "There are three parts of Mocha Company's business, art trade, commercial performance brokerage and completely unrelated industrial equipment trade, among these three, which one do you think is the most important?"
"Industrial equipment, of course," Thierry said without hesitation, "because this is the most profitable piece!"
"This is only one aspect," Chen Dahe laughs, "and more importantly, the prospects of the industry are not comparable to those of the cultural industry, especially in Africa,"
Changing a comfortable position, Chen Dahe continued, "Art trade and performance brokerage have great limitations, and the market capacity is not large, you can continue to keep these two businesses, if the business volume shrinks one day, you don't have to force it, from now on, you have to focus on the development direction of industrial equipment." β
Thierry nodded, pursed his lips and said, " I also know that this piece has a deep prospect, but there are two problems that need to be solved, one is the market, Africa is the battlefield of major powers competing for interests, the entire African continent is in turmoil all the year round, many countries can not even guarantee security, it is difficult for them to put their energy on national construction, this half a year I have been able to find customers all over again, the rest is really hard to say, the second is capital, even if some countries want to develop industry, but they are so poor that they can't even afford a set of basic industrial equipment, I can't lend them firstγ β
"Why not," Chen Dahe looked at him, "The first point you said is not a problem at all, peace is the main theme of world development, there may be wars in the future, but it will only be limited to a few countries, more countries will focus on development, this is your opportunity, as for funds, it can be solved through financial methods." β
"Bank loans?" Thierry shrugged, "no bank would lend money to a politically unstable country." β
"No, you don't need to go through the bank," Chen Dahe said, "you can borrow the buyer's credit, deliver the equipment first, and then add some interest to collect the payment in installments, as for the mortgage, I think you should understand what is valuable in this country, especially minerals." β
"My risk would be much higher," Thierry frowned, "if the political situation is stable, it's fine, but if the political situation changes, everything will be lost." β
"Wealth is in danger," Chen Dahe was a little unimpressed," Don't take a little risk, where can you get high profits, and in fact you think the risk is not as big as it seems, first of all, when looking for a buyer, you will definitely have a judgment on the political situation of the country, and with the strength of the Priag family, it is not difficult to get some information, so that the risk will be controlled within a certain range, and secondly, when you sign an agreement with the buyer, you can add a clause, if you do not pay the full amount, then the ownership of this batch of machines is still owned by Mocha, even if there is a change, from a legal point of view, Mocha still has the ownership of this batch of equipmentAnd will the new government be at odds with the Priag family over some old equipment and lose trust on the entire continent?"
"You seem to have some point," Thierry nodded thoughtfully, then silently calculated the stakes.
Chen Dahe didn't care about him, and continued, "If you do this, then this business can also add two profit points, one is the premium part of credit sales, after all, the loan transaction cannot be paid at the same price as a lump sum, and the other is the interest income of the loan, if you use the purchase cost price to calculate, this so-called low interest rate is actually an outright high interest, if you can do a good job in this part of the business, the overall profitability of Mocha will be greatly improved." β
"If you are still worried about the risk, then you can find a collaborator," Chen Dahe looked at his hesitant appearance and couldn't help but smile, "Find a familiar bank and work with them, but then you will lose a piece of interest income." β
