Chapter 139: On the Songhua River
After chatting about things in the north for a while, Cheng Liuye took the guys to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, Zhao Si and Li Xian made an appointment to go to Beilin to talk about the agency, and Li Xian naturally had no objection to this.
The current situation on the Russian side is almost a lack of everything but military supplies. Although the price of Sina's toilet paper is higher, Cheng Liu has really set up a big market in Russia, and it will face the whole of Russia.
Li Xian secretly kept this matter in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about this, Xu Maohe slapped him over: "You tiger! After being a master on the border for so many years, he has been familiar with all the lines from the domestic ice city to Manchuria, and then to Chita, Kurtsk, and Moscow in Russia. At first glance, this business is a business to make a fortune! If you are allowed to buy shares, it is because you have taken a fancy to you, so why don't you agree to it?"
Li Xian really can't answer this question.
In his impression, the period from 93 to 02 was indeed a peak period of development of Sino-Russian border trade. One of Li Pi's classmates used to be in the clothing business there. Take the goods from the Shenxi market, or directly finalize the version at Xiliu, and then take it in large quantities to the vicinity of Nebuchuchita and wholesale it to Russian traders.
When he was a child, every time he celebrated the New Year, this uncle brought the best things when he came to visit the house. Lee Heon's favorite is pure bitter Russian chocolate.
But he vaguely remembered that since around '02, the uncle's situation was not very good. At that time, Li Xiangang was six or seven years old, and he vaguely remembered that it was the beginning of the eviction of Chinese merchants from the north, and he spent more than 1.2 million yuan a year on renting shops, more than 4 million yuan in savings, and he did not take out the real estate and goods in that side.
What was earned in previous years was wiped out overnight.
Later, this former most successful person in Li Pi's circle of classmates opened a noodle shop next to the night market, and his middle-aged life was not satisfactory.
So subconsciously, he felt that Cheng Liu's big market was too risky.
Russia's policy has always been very rigid and unreasonable. Especially when dealing with foreigners, they don't want to reason with you. Even if you don't take into account the memories of border trade later, let's start from the perspective of the present. The reason why China can work in Russia is because the Russian government, which now has a weak light industry and needs a lot of materials for the people's lives, needs such a way.
But if it develops in China in the future, such a group of people who make a lot of money, and walk on the edge of the law, and even repeatedly rely on illegal profits, are undoubtedly the best fat sheep.
The capitalists cut the wool, but it doesn't depend on how many connections you have.
In the face of interests, the more money, the greater the capital, and the stronger the momentum, the easier it is to be slaughtered.
So Li Xian didn't dare to get involved.
For Cheng Liu, who has made up his mind, Li Xian, who has little understanding of the future, can't say anything deeply, so he can only take a preventive shot, hoping that he will leave a way back for himself.
Seeing that Li Xian was silent, Xu Maohe scolded that he would not seize the opportunity and didn't like to listen to his ink, so Li Xian went back to the hotel directly.
As soon as I returned to the hotel, before I could take off my shoes and go to bed, Big Brother rang.
When I picked it up, it was the advertising agency I went to first during the day, the ...... Well, that big, white ass woman's voice.
On the phone, Da Bai did not have the arrogance of the afternoon, and the eldest brother and brother discussed with Li Xian to give her a little more discount on the price of small packages of napkins. She wanted to try to do it.
Of course, the price can't be cheap, and the amount that the other party wants is too small. Li Xian, who is accustomed to opening his mouth to mention business, has no interest in the napkin business with a unit price of only seven cents. If he hadn't been thinking about getting out of the napkin business, he wouldn't have bothered to fight with these advertisers who were too rudimentary and could only print small advertisements and banners.
Seeing that Li Xian's side was really stuck, the other party finally compromised after grinding for a while and set a list of 1,000 packs.
Dabai's phone seemed to be a starting gun, and just after Li Xian finished washing, several advertisers called one after another to ask for goods.
Seeing this rhythm, a big stone in Li Xian's heart fell to the ground.
Previously, the reason why the sales of napkins did not go up was largely because the restaurants that had not yet reached the service consciousness thought that this thing was not very useful except for being good-looking, so they were not interested. The dealer believes that the sales network of napkins is too fragmented, and it is troublesome to use small amounts for each restaurant, so they are not interested.
This is a typical problem in the supply and demand chain.
Advertisers are different, although the current advertising companies are too rudimentary, but their essence is no different from later, they all rely on making profits by doing publicity for others. Using the outer packaging of napkins and advertising printing as a link to change supply and demand is Li Xian's real intention.
If the advertising company really promotes the business of napkin advertising, then the problem of sales channels will be solved, and the increased advertising napkins with great added value will also become a promotional product of the hotel, rather than consumables.
Such a relationship between supply and demand is no problem in Li Xian's opinion.
No problem!
Although it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, Li Xian still called the business office of New Taipei Paper. found Chen Shulin and asked him to make a batch of blank and outsourced napkins as quickly as possible.
In the face of such a nonsensical request, Lao Chen's axis made another mistake, "Factory director, didn't you say that you want to play the brand and fight the brand?
Li Xian, who was already accustomed to Chen Shulin's way of working and speaking, was not angry, "Stupid! Won't we print our New Taipei logo and phone number on the edge of the outsourcing?"
complained about the elm pimple head, and Li Xian hung up the phone after ordering it to be implemented as soon as possible.
The first batch of orders was not large, and the factory modified the outer packaging layout overnight to produce a batch of 10,000 packs of napkins, which were loaded and sent away the next morning.
At noon, Li Xian received a call from the driver, saying that the things had arrived.
After finding a tricycle and delivering the orders in turn, Li Xian walked directly to the train station.
Although the machine tool has to be sold, more than 100 machine tools cannot be processed in a moment and a half, so there is no need to wait here. As for the napkin business, he is confident that he has found the key and solved the key. The rest depends on the operation of those advertising companies.
It was still early before the train time at eight o'clock in the evening, and Li Xian, who was idle and in no hurry, strolled towards the train station after delivering the last batch of napkins.
Although the streets of Harbin have undergone great changes compared with the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, they are still a continuation of the old ice city.
The rise of the city originated from the construction of the Eastern Railway in Tsarist Russia. Therefore, even if time has passed, New China has been established, and a large number of Russian-style buildings with a history of decades or even nearly a hundred years have survived, which still makes the city full of strong exotic customs.
On the side of the street, retired employees of Xu He unit were engaged in cultural and recreational activities, and on the square of Zhongshan Road, dozens of old people were singing in chorus.
sang one of the exile trilogies that was not often heard in later generations, "On the Songhua River".
"My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast.
There's there, the forest coal mines, and there, the mountains are full of soybean sorghum.
My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China.
There, my compatriots, and there, my senile father.
Ninety-one-eight, ninety-one-eight......"
There was no band accompaniment, but in the temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero, the singing was particularly magnificent and desolate in the low chant of a group of old people.
Walk on Zhongshan Road, which was originally named "Horvat Street", then "Army Street" and "Tufeiyuan Road", and was renamed until 1946. Hearing this song, Li Xian couldn't help but take off the hat on his head.
The black leather gloves gently scratched over the brick walls that were once established by the Russians and may have been painted with the words "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity", but now they were plastered with the words "Ancestral Miracle Doctor Heals Crooked Mouth" and the red paint had been mottled and peeled, making a rustling sound.
"Buzz"
In the distance, a flock of white doves swept by in the setting sun, making a dove whistle.
