Chapter 6 A Trip to Guangdong
At the exit of Baiyunshan Airport in Guangdong, people come and go, lively and extraordinary, noisy sounds, there are Henan dialects, Beijing dialects, Shandong dialects, Shaanxi dialects, and of course, the most is the unique seafood dialect of that era: Cantonese.
Before his rebirth, Zhang Yi had worked as a technical supporter for a long time, and he had a lot of dealings with Cantonese people, and he was relatively familiar with Cantonese, so he could easily understand these Cantonese and speak a few words.
Brother Li's business partner, Manager Chen, came to pick up the station in person.
Black and thin, with a big back and shiny oily, smooth enough to be estimated that even a fly can't stand. Holding a little girl dressed in flowers and branches in his right hand, and standing on the left hand side is a strong man with black sunglasses, the strong man is holding a brick-like big brother in his hand, just like the image of a bodyguard in a Hong Kong and Taiwan film.
Brother Li introduced Zhang Yi to Manager Chen, and Manager Chen hurriedly took out his business card and sent it to Zhang Yi, greeting Zhang Yi and the two senior brothers in half-baked Mandarin.
In August in Guangdong, it was the hottest time, and they went to the hotel first, took a cold shower, and changed into lighter clothes.
Brother Li is still in a suit, and Zhang Yi, before he was reborn, was the person who was most unwilling to be restrained, and clothes have always been the only criterion for him.
In such weather, he directly changed into a pair of beach shorts and flip-flops.
Zhang Yi and the two senior brothers lived in a three-person room, and Brother Li was old and slept lightly at night, so he lived in a standard room by himself.
In the lobby downstairs, Manager Chen, the little secretary, and the bodyguard led them to the two cars parked at the door, and the one in front was the Crown, the most common luxury car on the streets of China in the nineties. The one in the back is a commercial vehicle, a Toyota bullet.
Zhang Yi, Brother Li, Manager Chen and the little secretary sat on the crown in front, and the two senior brothers and Manager Chen's bodyguard sat in the business car behind.
In the crown car, Manager Chen asked Brother Li with his eyes, Brother Li nodded clearly, and then said to Manager Chen: "My little brother Zhang Yi is from Ningdong and is also in the CD business. ”
"He has a sales channel, the amount of requirements is particularly large, he wants to establish a stable purchase channel, he is a good person, and he has the courage to do business. I'm too old to have the energy to open up new retail channels. So this time, I will bring him over and introduce you to each other, and he will buy directly from you in the future, and if my goods are sold slowly, they can also be transferred directly to him. ”
Manager Chen nodded and said: "Since your Lao Li trusts him, I have nothing to say, the goods must be high-quality goods, the price, with your Lao Li's purchase volume, the price for you is one yuan, if Zhang Yi's little brother buys a large amount, you can discuss again." ”
"Manager Chen, what if I buy 200,000 pieces at a time, and how much is the wholesale price?"
Hearing this number, the little secretary sitting in the front row heard this number, covered his mouth in fright, looked back at Zhang Yi's casual dress on the beach, pouted and said, "What about the northern Yankees?"
Zhang Yi really didn't bother to refute this kind of small-breasted woman, chuckled, just stared at Manager Chen, his face full of solemnity.
The shrewd Manager Chen looked at Brother Li, and the other party nodded solemnly, he didn't say a word, and slapped the little secretary on the head.
"Little girl, don't you know how not to be foolish, and say that the little brother is a northerner, aren't you also a fucking Hebei?
The little secretary flattened his mouth with a look of grievance.
"I'm sorry, little brother, this little girl has no brains, don't pay attention to her!"
"If the little brother buys 200,000 yuan at a time, I can give five dimes a piece, which is the lowest price for a CD in Guangdong, and there is absolutely no lower price than me!"
Zhang Yi can see that this price is low enough, maybe in a few years, the cost can be reduced, but now, it is indeed the lowest price.
"However, little brother, I won't hide it from you, I only have one production line, and the amount you want is too large, so you have to wait a few more days. ”
Zhang Yi thought for a while and asked, "Manager Chen, if you buy a new production line, how much will it cost, and how long will it take to put it into production?"
Manager Chen sighed and said: "Now a production line is about one million yuan, as long as the money is in place, the installation of the production line can be completed in two days." ”
"Manager Chen, I won't tell you, one production line will definitely not meet my needs, is there any other way, as soon as possible to build two more production lines, if your money is not enough, we can cooperate to do it, we can make money together, what do you think?"
Manager Chen blinked a few times, thought for a while and said, "I have a way, I can build two production lines, and I don't even have to pay so much money, but rent them." ”
As soon as Zhang Yi heard this, he instantly became interested, the money on hand was not enough, and now was the era of profiteering and grabbing money from pirated discs, and after a few years, the profits were getting lower and lower. At this time, time is money, and it is the perfect choice to quickly complete the original accumulation by renting a disc production line.
"Pirated CDs are quite profitable now, so why would anyone rent them out?" Zhang Yi asked.
"One of my hair boys, like me, is engaged in disc production, and he is in a hurry to go abroad, and he is a little nervous about money and wants to sell the disc production line. But in a short time, few people can come up with this money, and a suitable buyer cannot be found at all. So, let's try to see if we can rent it out, and get some rent first. Manager Chen said.
Zhang Yi thought for a while and asked, "Manager Chen, I'm interested in this, but I want to ask you some questions, I don't know if it's convenient?"
"It's okay, I'll call him and ask him to come over and have dinner with us. ”
Manager Chen picked up the big brick Big Brother and fed it several times, as if the other party did not respond, so he pressed it and dialed it again. Zhang Yi is a little funny, the big brick now simulates the signal quality of a mobile phone.
This time it was finally connected, Manager Chen said it in Cantonese, and he did not shy away from Brother Li and Zhang Yi when he spoke. He knew that Brother Li couldn't understand Cantonese, and it was estimated that Zhang Yi would definitely not understand either.
Manager Chen's meaning is to introduce a tenant to the other party, and if it happens, the other party will give some benefit fees, and the other party agrees.
The restaurant is a typical Cantonese restaurant, and the people who eat are basically all locals in Guangdong, and occasionally there are some Hong Kong people with oily hair and noodles.
ordered some local signature dishes in Guangdong, among which there are more sweetness and light dishes, Zhang Yi likes light dishes, but the two senior brothers and Brother Li are very uncomfortable. I feel that the food has no taste, but I can only have a bitter face, and the taste is the same as chewing wax.
Zhang Yi thought about it, and then beckoned the waiter and asked her to serve three dishes of triple oil, Brother Li and the two senior brothers looked at him puzzled, I don't know, what is this triple oil he let on.
Zhang Yi waved his hand mysteriously, and didn't explain anything, just asked them to wait, and they understood after a while.
Sanhe oil came up, a strong vinegar smell, and there was a layer of chili oil floating on it, Brother Li picked up the chopsticks and clicked it, tasted it, and stretched out his frowning brows, and dipped all those light dishes in Sanhe oil and ate them again, feeling that the taste was much more comfortable.
The two senior brothers also did the same, and after tasting it, they nodded with satisfaction and feasted on it.
While eating, a white man with gold-rimmed glasses said hello to Manager Chen and sat down.
Manager Chen got up and introduced Brother Li and Zhang Yi to him: "This is my friend, Xiao Ding, who has two disc production lines there. ”
Zhang Yi and Brother Li hurriedly got up and said a few words.
Xiao Ding went straight to the point and said: "My two disc production lines are new production lines I bought at the beginning of the year, and I originally wanted to work hard and make some money." But my wife suddenly wanted to immigrate to Canada in a hurry, so I had to sell the production line. ”
Zhang Yi and Brother Li nodded and said nothing.
Xiao Ding continued: "When I bought two lines, one million. Each line produces about 100,000 CDs per month. If you don't buy it, you can rent it, two lines, and the rent for a month is 100,000 yuan. ”
Seeing that the other party spoke simply, Zhang Yi didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "If you sell it, how much is a line?"
Xiao Ding said: "The two lines have a total of 1 million, and the small courtyard where the production line is located will be sent to you directly." ”
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hide the joy in the corners of his eyes. Xiao Ding was talking, not noticing Zhang Yi's face. Manager Chen lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Only Brother Li saw it, a little surprised by Zhang Yi's excitement, but he didn't say anything.
The little secretary just took the mirror and looked at his face. After all, it is the face that eats, understandably.
As for the two senior brothers, they just buried their heads in eating the dishes on the table.
"Brother Ding, if I rent your production line, where will I get the engraved masterboard?Where will the software source on the master disk come from?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Oh, this is simple, I have two technicians in these two production lines, and they have to go to Hong Kong once a week, and they will bring a lot of software, edit, and directly make the master disk, and then produce the CD. ”
"As for the raw materials for the CD, Lao Chen has them, you can buy them directly from him!"
Zhang Yi understood that Brother Ding asked him to buy raw materials from Manager Chen in order to repay him for introducing customers.
The money for this raw material is not in Zhang Yi's eyes at all, and he can get to know Brother Ding, who rents out the CD production line, through Manager Chen, and he has already accepted a lot of favors, and it is also appropriate to let Manager Chen make a little money.
Zhang Yi did not express his position at the time, but said that he would take a look at the production line.
Brother Ding understood, and motioned for them to finish eating, and then take them over to have a look.
