A friend is a friend, and business is business, it is true.

It's just that different people have different ways of talking about business.

For Xiong Guoping, he made Wu Xiaozheng a friend, but what attracted him was, of course, business.

Wu Xiaozheng is the same.

Like the relationship between him and Yang Guiping, there is a relationship of interest, but there will be more elements of appreciation.

As for Xiong Guiping, although he feels very good, he regards him more as a trusted friend in business.

For this reason, Wu Xiaozheng knew that Xiong Guoping must have come to discuss business because of the raid.

And he also knows that the recent Chef Wu is indeed very attractive to Zhengde Company.

Xiong Guoping is indeed here because of business.

But he is an old man in the business field, and he naturally has his own sense of proportion when it comes to how to talk about business, and he is not too anxious.

As for Wu Xiaozheng, although he seems young, he is also a goblin in business, and he will not be breathless.

"Mr. Xiong, rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"Haha, long time no see, I miss you a little, you won't blame me for being uninvited, right?"

"Find a place to sit and have some tea?"

As soon as the two met, they didn't mention business at all.

Business friends are like this, when it comes to business, friends are not so pure, and they have to be polite first.

After finding a place to sit down, there was still no real business involved, Xiong Guoping just pulled the topic to Chef Wu's new factory, and also chatted for a while about Chef Wu's restaurant, which was ready to start renovation.

Xiong Guoping didn't mention it, and Wu Xiaozheng wasn't in a hurry.

The reason why Xiong Guoping didn't mention it was because there were too many people present, and some things were not suitable for talking about in public.

Then drink and talk.

After drinking, Xiong Guoping finally couldn't hold it back: "Xiaozheng, let's find a place to talk alone?"

Let's talk.

Wu Xiaozheng gave Shen Mo the task of entertaining Xiong Guoping's entourage, including Guan Zijun, because he found out that Guan Zijun was very familiar with Shen Mo.

After the two of them found a place to drink tea and sat down, they finally got down to business.

But this is not a one-sided point.

"Xiao Zheng, now Chef Wu is developing so fast, but he doesn't even have a decent car, it's a bit unusual!"

Xiong Guoping has something to say.

This is both a show of favor and an inducement.

"Oh, Brother Xiong has good care?"

Wu Xiaozheng knew it well and was very cooperative.

He knew that Xiong Guoping was right.

Although he has no personal pursuit in this area for the time being, he also believes that Chef Wu's own development potential does not need to be overpackaged. But this is an era when people want clothes and Buddhas want gold, and many times, in the business field, face engineering still has to be talked about, especially when it comes to external expansion.

"Have you heard of the little trade car?"

Wu Xiaozheng stopped moving.

The so-called small trade car, also known as foreign businessman's own car.

In this era, in order to encourage investment, the state will give certain duty-free entry indicators for foreign cars, representative offices of resident institutions, or foreign-funded enterprises with an investment amount of a certain amount, which is called "small trade cars" by people in the industry.

In contrast, the normal import of foreign cars is called "big trade car".

The reason why Wu Xiaozheng was immediately moved when he heard this was because the price difference between the small trade car and the big trade car was too big.

You know, in the year of '92, China was still trying to overcome many obstacles to join a international trade organization called the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and set off a hot topic called "customs entry" in China.

In addition to the economic blockade policies of other countries, another reason for the difficulty of entering customs is the high import tariffs in China, including imported cars.

In this era, the tariff on imported cars is at least 80% of the price of the car itself for small-displacement cars, and as high as 120% for large-displacement cars.

For this reason, cars are basically sky-high.

Now that Xiong Guoping has mentioned the small trade car, it means that he is likely to have a high-quality imported car with a price of only half the normal price.

"Brother Xiong, do you have a way?"

Wu Xiaozheng neither understood nor said that he did not understand.

Xiong Guoping nodded.

"Now the food production machinery, large machinery is more reliable, either imported from Japan, or imported from Germany, if the equipment purchased by your factory reaches a certain amount, there will be a certain opportunity. ”

Xiong Guoping slightly revealed a little bit of equipment importation.

Wu Xiaozheng actually knows this.

In this era, imported cars are in high demand, especially small trade cars that can be tax-free.

In fact, according to the normal policy, after entering the country, the small trade car can only be used by foreign businessmen. Even if it is to be transferred, it can only be transferred after one year of entry.

But there is a hole in it that can be installed.

For example, after the imported car enters the country, it can first hang the black plate of the foreign businessman, but in fact it is for the customer. As for the transfer procedure, it can be done after one year.

For example, after the imported car enters the country, it will be idle for a while, and then transferred to key customers after a year.

In fact, this is how many units of imported cars are obtained.

In the area of imported machinery, the competition between foreign-funded manufacturers is very fierce.

In this case, in order to attract customers, manufacturers will provide a certain number of small trade cars according to the order amount.

Xiong Guoping is talking about this cattiness.

Of course, because this piece is opaque, Zhengde Company has a lot to do in this regard, for example, for customers with general relationships, they can only sell equipment, and detain the supporting small trade car for another treatment.

"Brother Xiong, let's go straight, I'm definitely interested in this car, but it depends on the conditions!"

Wu Xiaozheng was too lazy to go around in circles with him, and he was tired of going around.

Xiong Guoping smiled: "Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, with our relationship, I will definitely not cheat you." Why don't we talk about the restaurant first?"

No wonder he wanted to talk to me privately!

Wu Xiaozheng suddenly knew it.

He knew that for Xiong Guoping, the purchase of machinery for food processing factories was a public matter, while the cooperation of restaurant chains was a private matter.

In the business field, it is common for public and private to be mixed and to enrich private affairs.

Wu Xiaozheng is not disgusted by this.

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there are no fish, and it is very rare to be truly selfless.

Let's talk about it!

As long as it is beneficial to Chef Wu, he doesn't mind letting Xiong Guoping take advantage of Chef Wu, so that Chef Wu can take more advantage from Zhengde Company.

"Brother Xiong, the matter of Chef Wu's restaurant has just been launched here, and it will be at least three months before you see the effect, you are interested so soon?"

"I believe in you. ”

Xiong Guoping's answer was succinct.

But in fact, what really moved him was what he learned from his silent mouth today.

He was shocked by the positioning and business strategy of Chef Wu's restaurant.

Coupled with his previous understanding of Wu Xiaozheng and his cooking skills, he didn't believe that such a restaurant would not make money.

To do business, what you look at is vision and courage.

When talking about business, we are talking about the exchange of interests.
