Chapter 659: Commencement
Xiaowei asked, "Nothing can happen, right?"
Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's unfounded." You go out and tell people that I have two million, who will believe me?"
Xiaowei said: "It's okay. What did he buy this for? So much, it's really jewelry?"
Zhang Jun said: "No, the people of Jinxi have this tradition, just like they like to pile up cash at home, and when they have more money, they buy gold and jewelry everywhere, which is easy to collect, and they are not afraid of the tide or rotten."
I used to remember what book I had read, saying that when the Japanese occupied the western part of Jinxi, they pulled gold and silver from Lao Cao's house, and dozens of carts pulled it for more than 20 days. The people of that place have money in history, can save and calculate, how famous the Jin Gang is, the earliest place in Chinese history to open a private bank, at that time called the ticket number. ”
Jin merchant Xiaowei knows, this Cao family Xiaowei has also heard of it, it is said that it is said that it is the first businessman in China to open a branch abroad, and the Cao family compound still exists. That is the legend of a Chinese merchant, who was the best merchant in the Northeast at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no one. In 1664, with the entry of the Qing army, the Cao family's business spread to the whole country.
In its heyday, there were Cao family's shops in the north and south of the river, with more than 640 branches, assets of 12 million taels of silver, and nearly 40,000 employees.
His family has traveled as far as Tokyo in Japan, Pyongyang in North Korea, Irkutsk in Russia, Kyakhta, Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, Berlin in Germany, Paris in France, New Delhi in India, and as far as London across the English Channel. Spanning two continents of Europe and Asia, spanning tens of thousands of miles, it has created immortal glory not only in the business history of the Jinxi people, but also in the business history of the Chinese.
Moreover, the Cao family has walked out of a "tea road" between Shanxi and Mongolia, and its prosperity is comparable to the historical "Silk Road".
The Cao family's business mainly has two things: grinding tofu and making wine. To what extent did the cattle flee to the west? Cixi's escape to the west was all borrowed by the steward's family, and it was not borrowed with empty white teeth and pledged with treasures. In the first few hundred years of the last century, Taigu County, where the Cao family lived, was known to Westerners as one of the financial centers of all of Asia.
In the end, the glory of the Cao family was ended by the Japanese. Now the descendants of the Cao family still live in the village that once shone in the world, and their ancestral mansion has become a museum for people from all over the world to spend money to visit, but they live a life of poverty and poverty and lack of clothes and medicine, and can only cry out helplessly, hoping that the clans who are flowing overseas can come back to have a look.
"No matter how prosperous you are, there are times when you fall, and you have to find a way back for yourself. Xiaowei sighed.
Zhang Jun said: "The times are different, no matter how rich you are in that troubled world, it is useless, if you have the kind of business situation and power of the old Cao family at that time, then you will be treated like a king everywhere, as long as you don't give birth to a bunch of losers, you will definitely be able to prosper." ”
Back in the courtyard of the camp management center, Zhang Jun asked, "How do you get this money?"
Xiaowei said: "If you don't help me change it to a check, I'm a little bottomless." ”
Zhang Jun said: "Count 500,000 yuan to Xiao Gang and the guards, and save the account." ”
Xiaowei said: "Brother, this is my own money, and it is the company's money." ”
The sister-in-law said: "Yes, don't listen to your brother, you can't mix it up, it's over if you can't say it clearly." ”
Xiaowei said: "Help me change the check, 2.4 million, leave 30,000 for your pocket money." ”
Zhang Jun said with a smile: "It's okay, it's still a little bit of a spread, 30,000 is 30,000, I'm not too little." The sister-in-law punched Zhang Jun.
The two brothers carried the money upstairs to the finance to change it into a check, and a major event was finally over. There was no trace of it again.
Early in the morning of the third day, a group of people came to the construction site.
After a day and two nights of preparation, the machinery and equipment have entered the site, and the personnel are basically in place. To be honest, the equipment is not a standard high-rise equipment, Zhang Jian said that he has already purchased, and the equipment must be in place before the main body is ten floors, so everyone has to agree, let's do it first. It's already autumn, and if it drags on any longer, there won't be anything to be done this year.
After the original demolition of the foundation, two large pits have been dug, and it is necessary to redraw the line and mark the ruler to position, and then carry out extended excavation on the basis of the two large pits. The depth width is not enough. Fortunately, the geological situation here is better than that of Wanliu, the settlement coefficient is very low, and the requirements for the foundation are not so harsh.
After more than 20 acres of land are emptied, it does not look too big with the naked eye, that is, more than 120 meters square, but it feels big when it is really dug up, four excavators start at the same time, and it is rumbling to dry, and the amount of earthwork close to 300,000 square meters is not a small number, generally speaking, it takes nearly a month to dig, but it has been dug partially, but the depth is a little worse, saving a lot of time.
Mi Zhiqi and Wang Honggang entered the working state, and Zhang Jian, Zhang Jianfang's engineers, and the management personnel recruited by his sister-in-law began to talk about the project, formulate process standards and construction schedules, and Xiaowei had nothing to do.
Pulled Zhang Jun and his sister-in-law to take some photos, which was to deal with his parents, and then drove to the mall to buy special products, and by the way, he talked with the mall about bulk purchases, that is, wholesale. These things must be quite marketable back to Liaodong.
The operation of these souvenirs was decided early on, but the conditions have not been met, and now it can be opened. Xiaowei plans to make Mongolian specialties, the wild vegetables of the county, into a brand and sell them in his own store. That is, it is a matter of opening a souvenir counter.
Neither grocery malls nor department stores have wholesale business, and state-run shopping malls in this era are so hard that I don't sell them. The manager of the non-staple food store provided Xiaowei with the phone numbers of several units and the manufacturer, and asked Xiaowei to contact him himself.
At that time, the work of state-owned shopping malls was really too rigid, the current management concept was not flexible, and the management system was not flexible, which was inevitably eliminated by the market a few years later.
To be honest, Xiaowei was quite surprised, he really couldn't understand what the manager thought, he didn't do it wholesale to make some money, because there was no business, he directly gave the manufacturer's phone number, and the whole thing was quite bullish, you can contact it yourself.
No way, Xiaowei had to drive the car to find the manufacturer, which is really troublesome, in fact, he would rather spend more money to get the goods from the side of the non-staple food, neat, just give the money on the points, the manufacturers are scattered, and it is troublesome to order the goods in the future. In fact, the price of goods in state-run shopping malls in this year is not much higher than that of manufacturers, which is the benefit of the planned economy, and the pricing has nothing to do with market costs.
