In the afternoon of the same day, after Huo Yaowen came out of the Canton Fair office, he returned to the Baiyun Hotel, and saw many men and women dressed differently from the locals along the way.

Huo Yaowen said as he walked: "Consultant Bai, I just told Director Ma that tomorrow I will arrange someone to lead you to inspect some nearby factories, and then you and Consultant Li will go with them." ”

"Good boss. Bai Yunhe followed behind and asked, "What about our investment in building a factory?"

"You don't care about this for now, first investigate and see what projects to invest in, and then we will make a decision. Huo Yaowen thought about it, but decided not to talk to Advisor Bai about it. And it's all in vain.

Reform and opening up was only passed in mid-December last year, and now only a month has passed, not to mention that many ordinary people do not know about this, and the cadres do not know how to open up and how to reform at all.

Anyway, in Huo Yaowen's opinion, it is impossible to invest in building a factory before the end of this return to visit relatives, so he can only wait, as for a month, two months, or longer, no one can say.

But no matter what, in China, it is certain to invest, start early and harvest early, whether it is to cooperate with Uncle Huo to build a hotel, or to invest in opening a factory, relying on cheap labor at this time, it is too simple to make money.

Thinking about these things, the group unconsciously entered the Baiyun Hotel.

As soon as he walked in, he heard someone in the hall talking, "That's Huo Yaowen?!" "It's really him, he also went back to his hometown to visit relatives." "It's good to be rich, and you still have bodyguards by your side. ”

These people didn't deliberately avoid what they said, they were naturally heard by Huo Yaowen, he glanced at the few people sitting in the rest area of the hall, and looked at the suits and leather shoes, they should have returned to their hometowns to visit relatives like himself.

didn't bother with it, and was about to go to the restaurant with Bai Yunhe and the others to eat, when he suddenly saw a person walking straight towards him, Huo Yaowen didn't care at first, he just thought it was passing by, until the person approached and stopped, smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Huo here, it's really an honor." ”

"Are you?" Huo Yaowen looked at this person with a big back comb, a dark blue suit, and a fountain pen in his jacket pocket, looking polite and polite, not like ordinary people.

"I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. The man took a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Huo Yaowen took the business card and looked at Li Wenhui, the marketing manager of Hutchison Electric Co., Ltd. Seeing this, Huo Yaowen stared at Li Wenhui's face, a little familiar, thought about it, and thought about it, similar to Li Yongsen, the boss of Hutchison Electric, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "I don't know who Chairman Li of Hutchison Electric is Mr. Li?"

"It's my father. Li Wenhui said with a smile.

Lee Yong-sen's son!

Huo Yaowen didn't expect Li Yongsen to really send his son!

At that time, Li Yongsen said that he might invest in the mainland in the future, but everyone was not very optimistic, after all, there was no reform and opening up at that time, and even if it was cooperation, it was only to provide technology to the mainland for production, and Hong Kong businessmen could only be responsible for export sales.

But he didn't think that as soon as it opened, Li Yongsen immediately sent his son to explore the road and see the mainland market.

Although Huo Yaowen guessed in his heart that Li Wenhui came to the mainland for cooperation, he still smiled and said: "It turned out to be Chairman Li's son, I don't know if Li Gongzi came to Guangzhou to visit relatives this time?"

"Don't be a son. If Mr. Huo wants to, just call me Wen Hui. Li Wenhui only graduated from the Department of Business Administration of the University of Minnesota at the end of last year, and he is only twenty-four or five years old this year.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen smiled and said nothing, then looked at his watch, it was more than a little later, and looked up and asked Li Wenhui: "If Mr. Li is free, I will invite you to have a cup of afternoon tea, I came to Baiyun Hotel once a year before last, and the afternoon tea here tastes good." ”

said that it was afternoon tea, but in fact it was to eat something, he was busy coming back before, so he refused Director Ma's invitation, and he has been on an empty stomach until now.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Li Wenhui nodded and agreed with a smile.

……

It was more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the restaurant of Baiyun Hotel, there are more than a dozen guests scattered around, most of whom have come from Hong Kong to visit relatives or come back from overseas.

Bai Yunhe saw Li Wenhui go to the bathroom, turned around and said to Huo Yaowen: "Boss." ”

"What's wrong?"

Huo Yaowen glanced at him sideways.

"Shouldn't Mr. Li of Hutchison Electric also want to invest in the mainland market? I just listened to the tone of this Li Gongzi, and they seem to have this intention. ”

When they were having afternoon tea, Huo Yaowen and this Li Gongzi just briefly chatted about what they had seen and heard in Guangzhou, and occasionally chatted about the prospects of the market here, and neither party took the initiative to ask each other if they wanted to invest in China.

However, Li Wenhui is still a little younger after all, Huo Yaowen simply said that in the past few days in the mainland, he found that many families did not even have an electric fan, and it seems that the conditions here are more difficult.

The other party immediately answered and said that the country is vast and the market is vast, and the future will definitely be available to every household.

This meaning is obvious, which shows that Li Wenhui, including his father Li Yongsen, is very optimistic about the mainland market, and nine times out of ten he has the idea of investing in building an electrical appliance factory here.

Huo Yaowen had long known that Li Yongsen wanted to invest in the mainland, and when he saw his son Li Wenhui, he was even more sure, but he couldn't tell Bai Yunhe about going north the year before last, so he could only say half-vaguely: "I should have this idea." ”

"In fact, we opened an electrical appliance company in Hong Kong, and it was very profitable to sell it to the mainland. Bai Yunhe's eyes were like torches and said: "Before coming to the mainland, we held a meeting between the advisory groups, and we thought that in addition to investing in textile factories and food factories in the mainland, the most optimistic thing is the electrical trade. ”

As soon as he heard him talk about the electrical trade, Huo Yaowen inexplicably thought of the rampant smuggling of electrical appliances in the early 80s.

In the early days of reform and opening up, at that time, materials were scarce, and the supply of domestic electrical appliances was in short supply, which also led to the flood of smuggling and trafficking activities in coastal areas.

It is rumored that the richest man Huang used to make his fortune by smuggling.

As for the reason for the rampant smuggling, the main reason is that the domestic production volume at that time could not keep up, and many precision household appliances could not be produced independently, such as imported refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, etc., which were very popular with the people.

This is the same as the big brother's mobile phone, imported into China, the price of external sales is about 20,000 yuan, but in the market once fried to 30,000 or even 50,000 yuan, in addition to the lack of goods, more is a face project, go out to talk about business The other party sees that you have a mobile phone of tens of thousands of yuan, which immediately highlights that you are very confident.

Bai Yunhe saw that the boss was staring intently ahead, and couldn't help but look over curiously, and seeing that there was nothing over there, he couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Boss, boss?"

"Huh?" Huo Yaowen came back to his senses, glanced at Bai Yunhe, and then said, "What did you just say?"

"I said we could work with Hutchison Electric in the electrical appliance business on the mainland. ”

"Home appliances......

Huo Yaowen touched his chin, in the eighties and nineties, the electrical appliance business was still very good, on the one hand, the competitive pressure was small and the profits were high, and secondly, if it became bigger, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do with the richest man Huang.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Wenhui walking back from the direction of the bathroom, and hurriedly said: "It's okay to do electrical appliances business, but it's not just about importing and exporting, it's best for us to build our own factory for production." ”
