Chapter 42 Don't Let Poverty Limit Your Imagination
The appearance of Tian Lei made it clear that Li Yadong had some directions, and he had considered setting up a company before, but he had some scruples.
If he were to set up a company in this era, he would only consider doing trade, and nothing else. The benefits of doing trade are obvious, and they don't have to be too large-scale, at least to outsiders. If the scale is small and the staff is small, there is naturally no need to find a gate to anchor, or find a nearby street office, pay a small attachment fee every month, and the thing will be done.
But starting a company, no matter how small it is, requires a person to manage it on a daily basis, and this person obviously can't be him, because he doesn't have so much time. If he dares to fall behind in the school's curriculum, his mother and his eldest brother will probably dare to come to the capital.
To put it simply, he lacks a CEO.
It will definitely not work to pull a random person on the street, but at this time, Tian Lei unexpectedly appeared.
This child graduated from high school, the cultural level is not low in this era, he was born in a cadre family, his ancestors are still veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, he has received good moral education, and the most critical point is - single-mindedness!
Li Yadong privately thinks that a person who can be loyal to love probably has no reason to turn his back on a business partner who has the grace of knowing him.
If misfortune happens, he's blind.
"Start a company, I'll be the manager?" In the hall, Tian Lei mentioned a glass of wine to his lips, his hands shook in fright, and he put it down again.
"Don't worry, I will plan how the company will develop, the main thing is that I am still in school, I am really weak, what you need to do is actually one word - do!" Li Yadong sandwiched a piece of braised pork for him, and poured the half-spilled wine glass again.
"Then ......" After Tian Lei took a deep breath, his eyes slowly became firm, he realized that this was a great opportunity, and if he missed it, he might not have it in his life, "Okay, what do you say in the future, how do I do it, if it's just a stuffy job, I should be able to." ”
"That's the end of it. Li Yadong smiled and asked again: "Do you know about Tianqiao Department Store?" It's over there in Xuanwu District. ”
Tian Lei shook his head and said, "I haven't been there, but I seem to have heard of it somewhere." ”
On July 25, 1984, China's first joint-stock enterprise, Beijing Tianqiao Department Store Co., Ltd., was established in the south of Qianmen in Xuanwu District, the most prosperous business district since the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This matter has been published in major newspapers, and Li Yadong gave him a brief explanation, and he probably understood.
"Their shareholding scheme is very novel, we can learn from it, then we will draw up a contract, the cost of running a company by me, I will also determine the direction of development, you will spend more effort and time here, I will give you a certain share, how about it?"
"Good. Tian Lei knew that Li Yadong was sincerely pulling him in, otherwise he would not have given him shares, and with the company's shares, he would be considered a boss.
Now that the business partner and business type have been determined, this matter should be sooner rather than later, Li Yadong immediately arranged the first job for Tian Lei - to go to the south.
"You went to the south this time for two purposes, one is to find goods and find purchase channels. I'll give you a list later, probably because there are no goods in the north at present, or relatively few goods, one by one, the factories over there should be relatively open, as long as you have cash in hand, you are not afraid of not being able to buy the goods. ”
Tian Lei bit the head of his chopsticks and listened carefully, he is not a person who has never seen the world, otherwise his family would not rest assured that he would stay in the capital, looking for a source of goods is nothing more than moving his mouth and running away, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, he thinks that it is not a big problem.
"The second thing is to find out the logistics channels, that is, the problem of commodity transportation, you have to go to the railway station and the bus station around the good run, and the transportation is basically piled up in these two places. ”
Tian Lei nodded and said: "This is easy to say, as long as there is a place, they will not let the carriage be empty, we are equivalent to sending them money, there is no reason not to agree." ”
"Hmm. Li Yadong took a sip of wine leisurely, which he took casually when he passed by the cigarette hotel, what is it called "Red Grain Daqu", produced by Niulanshan Distillery, and it tastes good when drinking.
Tian Lei is more reliable than he imagined, at least after hearing about these things, he didn't show the slightest timid expression, or how to say that he was a child from a big city. If this matter is put on Zhang Chunxi's goods, he will definitely cry at this time.
"Come, let's go. ”
Li Yadong lifted the wine glass in his hand, "When you go to the south, I will also act immediately, try to put the relevant procedures and licenses in place as soon as possible, and hope that the goods will be sold as soon as they arrive." ”
"Good. ”
The two of them didn't drink much, they stopped after tasting it, and the main Tian Lei still had to go home. Fortunately, the capital is not as good as the countryside, although there are no street lights in this area, but the surrounding houses are dense, and there is still a little light to explore the road.
Before leaving, Li Yadong took out 5,000 yuan from the cabinet, wrapped it in newspaper, and stuffed it into Tian Lei's arms.
"If there is nothing to do, let's leave as soon as possible, you take the money, keep the travel expenses, and buy all the rest. ”
Tian Lei was taken aback, probably didn't expect him to be so rich.
He originally thought that it would be very good to ask him to go out to buy goods, and it would be good to have an expenditure of a few hundred yuan, but where would he have thought that he would get so much money at once?
"Okay, don't look at me with this 'down with the landlord's old wealth' expression, this is also a recent transaction, it's not much, if everything goes well, you will soon have so much money in your pocket. ”
Tian Lei came to his senses for a long time, and after taking a deep breath, he asked: "This is a huge amount of money, enough to build a small western-style building in my hometown, so you are not afraid that I will run away with the money." ”
Li Yadong smiled faintly and said: "Don't be afraid, if that's the case, five thousand yuan can see a person clearly, and I also earned it, because the business I want to do in the future will definitely be multiplied by a hundred, or even a thousand ...... on this basis."
He paused when he said this, looked at Tian Lei and asked, "Who will suffer when you say it?"
"You...... This ......" Tian Lei hesitated for a long time, and finally burst out with a sentence, "Your heart is too big!"
Isn't that big!
I think he was still doing a big bowl of tea business for a few cents a bowl during the day, and at night someone stuffed him with a whole 5,000 yuan in cash, and then told him to do a big business of millions in the future.
Fortunately, it was him, who had relatively thick nerves since he was a child, and he was depressed for a while after failing the college entrance examination.
"Tian Lei, remember a sentence, how big a person's heart is, how big his appetite is, don't let poverty limit your imagination. ”
“…… Okay, I remember. Tian Lei nodded very seriously, and after pushing the three wheels and taking two steps, he turned his head and added, "Thank you." ”
"Don't say this kind of thing in the future, remember, the company is the two of us, and working together is what we need, thank you you is not necessary. ”
Tian Lei smiled, didn't say anything more, and slowly walked forward with the faint light from the house next to him, and his mind was always echoing Li Yadong's words just now.
"Don't let poverty limit your imagination ......"
