Chapter 317: German Merchants
With this perfect disguise, in less than a week, Shao Nianshi contacted all the cloth houses, tailor shops, and three famous retail vendors in the suburbs of Qingcheng City.
Maintain the most fundamental emotions between people with practical benefits, let the other party accept them as their own, and continue to deepen the true feelings between each other.
This is already seventy percent or even more of Qingcheng's total domestic sales.
For Dahua Textile Mill, whose output has not yet been determined, it should be enough.
These days, Shao Nian has been pedaling the car around outside every day, and suddenly after this pause, he realized that he had not met Chen Jiefu for nearly ten days.
As a manager who runs export sales, it should be the norm not to see people all year round, but as a factory director with a technical background, he has not been seen in the factory for nearly ten days, which is a bit unreasonable.
Because when he returned to the factory dormitory at night, Shao Nianshi did not find Chen Jiefu when he was sleeping, so Shao Nianshi had to block Chen Jiefu outside the door of the factory dormitory early in the morning.
"Where are you going? I haven't even seen anyone these days, so let's just touch each other's work progress, right?"
When Chen Jiefu heard someone knocking on the door, he opened the door while buttoning his hat on his head, and when he saw that the person standing at the door was Shao Nianshi, who was more than ten years younger than him, he was very happy to welcome people in.
"What a coincidence, we are really a wonderful partner, if you don't come to look for me today, I will also go to your dormitory to find you. ”
"I've been out running equipment for the past two days, and I'll tell you, I've got ten very cheap production lines from the Germans. ”
"Eight of them are pure textile machines, and the remaining two are the most advanced printing and dyeing equipment in their country. ”
"Today they happened to have a batch of new goods on the wharf of Deutsche Foreign Company, because we were in a hurry, and it was a big customer, and the German comprador I negotiated with said that we could pick up the goods first. ”
"Go, go, put on decent clothes, and come with me to the docks to stock up together. ”
Speaking of which, Shao Nianshi understood why Chen Jiefu, who never paid attention to dressing, wore a rather decent robe today.
Qingcheng, which has not been long after the New Year, still has the chill of not leaving.
Because of the proximity to the sea, the wind here is a little harsher than that of Zhijicheng.
But today's Chen Jiefu can only wear a thin layer of single caftan for his demeanor.
As the face of the entire textile factory, Shao Nianshi, who is specially responsible for negotiating business, can't lose the face of the factory, right?
Therefore, after hearing Chen Jiefu's reason, he went back to his dormitory first, and picked up a suit and windbreaker under the pressure box he brought over.
When he appeared in front of Chen Jiefu again, Chen Jiefu standing at the gate of the factory almost couldn't recognize this kid.
If you want to talk about the life in Qingcheng for more than ten days, it is called an adaptation when Shao Nian.
I don't need to be taken by others, I pedal a bicycle by myself, wearing a set of short cotton clothes with two sections up and down, which is to run the streets and alleys of Qingcheng all over the place.
If you don't listen carefully, you can hear the smell of oysters in this man's official words.
It's as if Shao Nian grew up in Qingcheng since he was a child, and there is no sense of disobedience.
Chen Jiefu never thinks about why, as if he has a super high sensitivity to dyes and cloth production since he was a child, which can't be said at all, it can only be said that God appreciates food.
After all, Zhang Huaizhi, who was far away in Tianjin, was able to send money to people all the way in an attempt to shift the front and carry out large-scale cooperation.
Then the person he sent over must not be a mediocre person who has caused chaos for this printing and dyeing factory.
Just look at this young man who was just nineteen or twenty, wearing an English plaid suit that only the Shanghai gentry liked.
A three-piece vest with black calfskin shoes, when Shao Nian put a long windbreaker that was about to fall to his calf, Chen Jiefu thought that he had met a few tycoons who had gone to Shanghai to steal printing and dyeing techniques.
That demeanor, that style, where is it a bit like Shao Nianshi, who would show a shy and innocent smile when he first met.
Now that he is dressed like this, it is said that this is the son of a family who has been rich in Qingcheng for many generations, and some people believe it.
But this is also very good, after all, the more cards he brought over, the more the foreigners he cooperated with would not dare to fool him.
It is said that the Japanese have completed the final delivery of Qingcheng, and these Germans in Qingcheng are about to embark on the gray and driven home.
Chen Jiefu is also afraid that in this final stage, these foreigners will take advantage of the psychology that there is nowhere to look after the transaction, make the last unfortunate money, and run away without a trace.
In short, bringing someone who is also shrewd to stare at a little bit will always make Chen Jiefu's heart more steady.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiefu took the initiative to sit in the co-pilot's seat, and gave up the position in the back row that belonged to the leader and the guest to Shao Nianshi.
The two of them sat in this old Ford car, which was only eighty percent new, and went straight to the Qingcheng Harbor Wharf in the northeast.
This car was not purchased by Chen Jiefu for the factory by taking advantage of his position.
This is one of the supporting facilities of the industry that Zhang Huaizhi purchased for himself in Qingcheng.
There are a lot of small villas by the sea in Qingcheng, and some Germans plan to leave Qingcheng when they want to leave Qingcheng, so they tie their vehicles in Qingcheng into the sales money of the villa and sell them together.
Since Zhang Huaizhi had not yet come from Tianjin, there were only a few useful servants in the empty villa to take care of it, and the vehicles parked in the villa were directly transferred by the abdicated overseer to the factory he built.
After listening to the reason for this car, Shao Nianshi actually had a feeling that this was really the case.
It's not that he misunderstood Chen Jiefu, but after so many days of understanding, Shao Nianshi felt that Chen Jiefu couldn't do such a wasteful thing as buying a foreign car.
Let's not talk about whether Chen Jiefu's family background is thick or not, but this guy is also from a self-run printing and dyeing factory, but he still likes to commute to work with two legs, and when he smokes two puffs, he still rolls his own dry tobacco bag.
On weekdays, I like to wear cloth shoes and cotton and linen cloth gowns.
If you squat on the side of the road and don't say a word, you think that this is an old farmer who has just returned from farming.
I'd rather go to the vegetable market and buy a pork knuckle stew than go down to the restaurant to eat a braised pork.
It's better to kill Chen Jiefu.
At this time, if Chen Jiefu knew that Shao Nian thought of him like this...... Then he was really going to die unjustly.
Because this person who doesn't have any special pursuits in life, he is not soft at all when it comes to buying equipment.
For those who pursue technology, no matter how much money is spent on precision instruments, it is not called spending money.
No, when this German businessman with shiny golden hair and beautiful lake-green eyes opened his warehouse on the docks, Shao Nian saw what it meant to be made in Germany.
This is equivalent to the largest warehouse at the port of Qingcheng, and it is not just the machines of a printing and dyeing factory in Dahua that are stored.
As the largest second-hand dealer in Germany, as long as the profit is high enough, this comprador will get you anything.
Shao Nianshi squinted his eyes and looked at the goods stored in the half-hidden boxes with the lid lifted.
However, he had a rough guess about the purpose of Friedreck's meeting.
He adhered to the principle of casting a wide net to catch more fish, and before he left Qingcheng, he sold as much inventory as possible in his hand.
Under the principle of not losing money, make one last money, and make yourself a rare tycoon, and then return to your homeland with your eyebrows raised.
As for Frederick's idea, Shao Nianshi found it very interesting.
He didn't have any proficiency in the machines sold by the other party, so when the other party was bargaining with Chen Jiefu over the price of the machine, and a bunch of workers were surrounding the machine for a post-charging test, he chose to take a casual look in this warehouse.
Then he saw a lot of business opportunities and clues that the German must be operating a channel for the purchase of some in-demand goods.
Therefore, when Chen Jiefu finished the test of the machine and handed over the money to Frederick, and was about to leave, Shao Nianshi gave his collaborator a signal to go back with the truck first, and he himself had something to talk about with Frederick, who had great powers.
This German businessman, who had come to Qingcheng to settle in Qingcheng since the German concession area was relatively mature and had been in China for nearly ten years, was very curious about a young, unfamiliar Shao Nian, who had the name of an elite businessman that even he had heard of.
When he heard earlier that Shao Nian was also a shareholder of this textile factory, he discussed with Chen Jiefu on the phone about wanting to meet this emerging cutting-edge.
When I saw it today, the person he was interested in turned out to be very interested in himself.
Frederick was a little pleased, and he immediately agreed to the proposal of the two men to go to the dock, because he wanted to know what the young Chinese young man wanted to say to him, an old German man who was about to leave.
"Do you need a Chinese comprador first? ”
Frederick, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood Shao Nianshi's thoughts.
"What? Do you have a crush on the goods that I still have in the warehouse?"
"Are you confident that you can sell these things for a better price?"
Shao Nianshi shook his head at the German gentleman who looked like he could be his grandfather, and briefly explained his position.
"No, Mr. Germany, what I want is not to take over the rest of your broken copper and iron, what I want to do is to keep you in China, and the trade routes and sales channels on which you depend for your survival are completely preserved. ”
"You know, for a German like Frederick, who has a lot of friction with Japan, your old business can't continue. ”
"Don't you feel sorry then, Mr. Frederick?"
"Just because of those stupid, savage little monkeys, you have wasted all your hard work for nearly ten years?"
"You know, if you quit the market in Qingcheng and return to your home country, it means that everything here will be zero. ”
"And the day you lost the Chinese market was also the day when you completely lost your economic income. ”
"I believe that according to the ability of the gentleman, he must have accumulated enough wealth to be willing to retreat bravely at this time. ”
"But we Chinese have an old saying, that is, we must leave a way back for ourselves in everything we do." ”
"I don't know if you'll be able to adapt to life there when you return to Germany, but in any case, you'll need some time to find a new source of income. ”
"After all, if you can't revitalize such a thing as wealth, it will only cost one day less. ”
"If the gentleman's family is still the kind of person who can spend money...... I believe that no amount of wealth is enough for a family to squander. ”
"So, sir, don't go so far and entrust the Chinese channel to the hands of an honest and secure businessman like me. ”
"One of us is in Germany and the other is in China, and we can still run the business that my husband is doing now. ”
"And Mr. only needs to pay your trust, you can completely abandon any danger and business costs and keep your own way of making money. ”
"This is a sure-fire business for my husband. ”
That's a good thing to say, but Friedrick isn't someone to be easily convinced.
As a foreign businessman who has been operating in Germany for many years, when he planned to evacuate, many well-known local compradors and trading houses were optimistic about the resources in his hands and the contacts and channels that would not disappear after retreating to Germany.
But Friedrek didn't give the Chinese office or the main point of contact, who could be placed in the position of collaborator, to give it away.
As a so-called collaborator who may lose control once he is far away, and is even extremely likely to be pitted in the other way, he would rather return to China without worries, empty his mind, and be a simple idle person until he reaches the end of his life.
Therefore, the current Shao Nianshi's words only made him feel moved, but if you want to impress him and make him change his previous mind, just using words is not enough.
