Chapter 405: Strategic Shift
"Hehehe, happy, I thought again, those foreign friends are a little old, not suitable for Xin Temple, let's let him play with his classmates...... You don't have to worry about the formalities, I'll let someone talk to you when the time comes, and I don't know much about this thing. "Actually, the meaning of that tannery is similar, it's better to follow this rule together, and you won't have to worry about it." Hong Tao planned to climb up the pole again.
"Don't! Let's talk, that restaurant is what I promised at the beginning, even if you give me a percent, I will admit it." But you didn't mention this tannery at the beginning, let's go one yard to one yard!" The uncle shook his head and hands desperately to prevent Hong Tao from climbing.
"Okay, I'll provide the house and raw materials, and you will provide the funds and equipment to manage it...... You manage production, I manage design and sales, we are still three-seven, how about you three-me-seven?"
"I won't fight with you for a share, but you can't just talk to me like that, why don't you give me something...... You don't have to be too formal, just write your thoughts. My company is not managed by me, although I can call the shots, but I also have to give my managers a reliable reason, what do you say?" The uncle changed his way and began to play Tai Chi with Hong Tao.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Old man, don't play this game with me, your little tricks and the second master have been tossing with me for ten years, and he hasn't succeeded once. Come, you have an eye, do you see it, the feasibility analysis report, one in Chinese and one in English, you take it back to the management and evaluation, I think I am qualified to show it to the US Congress. Hong Tao smiled. Reaching out and picking up the cloth bag he had brought, he took out two neatly bound pieces of Wen Jiàn from it and threw them on the table.
“…… You wrote this?" the uncle glanced at Hong Tao in surprise. Then he picked up the two copies of the text, looked through them roughly, and then his expression was even more surprised.
"If it is fake, you can look at my hard pen calligraphy, I dare to say that the whole country can't find one! If you look at my hand in English, the British Empire's edict is estimated to be like this, how about it. Old man, do you have any excuses?" Hong Tao triumphantly pointed to the font on the text, printers had not yet become popular in this era. There is no personal computer, and the writing is all by hand, but this also has the advantage that it is easy to distinguish the writer of the text.
"If only someone else transcribed it. This article can be called perfect. It's a pity that these good papers...... It's done, let's stop arguing, I'll ask you a few questions, first, why do you have to set up the factory in that Tongjiang City, and put the company in the capital, isn't there a suitable factory site in the capital?" Actual contact is another matter, he really can't talk about Hong Tao. So I'm not going to take advantage of my words, let's get down to business.
"This is very simple, you are a foreign businessman in the capital, although you are also a foreign businessman, but you can't rank at all, it's too small. But if you go to Tongjiang, maybe the mayor will have to invite you to dinner, and the discounts and benefits you get are different. Besides, I have to talk more on the Tongjiang side than in the capital, anyway, it's a factory, and it's all put there, and someone can have water and electricity, so why don't we find a more suitable place?" Hong Tao patiently explained to the uncle what he was doing here, and it was very in line with the reality, but he still didn't tell the truth, or he didn't tell the truth.
The reason why this factory was placed in Tongjiang, where birds don't, was not only valued, but also fully considered the future exhibition of Silk Trading Company. Since Heizi transferred all his shares to himself, Hong Tao has become the actual major shareholder of Xiushui Trading Company, which was originally a company that was played with Heizi and Xiao Wu, after more than a year of exhibition, it has now become Hong Tao's most important economic source. And there are very bright prospects, at least in the next four or five years, he can make a lot of money for himself, so Hong Tao plans to gradually shift the focus of the exhibition from the capital to the Tongjiang side.
In this part of the capital, Hong Tao doesn't dare to buy any industry, so he can only make small things like clothing stores and beauty shops, but if you want to play something big, then you can't do it without holding a leg, even if it is a small leg like the street office, it is thicker than your waist. But Hong Tao is tired of this kind of taste of spending money and begging for people from his heart, instead of being low here, it is better to find a place where the emperor is far away and the rich is the master to toss and toss. Although you have to rely on relationships no matter where you go, there is Xiao Wu over there, and there is the aura of this foreign businessman, which is much more comfortable than in the capital, at least out of sight and out of mind.
He wanted to turn the small place in Tongjiang that had not yet been noticed by everyone into another stronghold of his own, not only to introduce foreign investment there to set up factories, but also to discuss with Xiao Wu, and to build a five-story hotel on the main street there, specifically to receive Chinese and foreign businessmen who came there to do business. This idea was the one he came up with when he first arrived in Tongjiang, because he personally felt that the living conditions here were too difficult, and there was no entertainment except for everyone to play cards together.
For a large group of businessmen who have abandoned their families and businesses and come here to make money, in addition to business opportunities, whether the local service industry and entertainment industry are up to date is also a very important evaluation condition. If you can have a hotel integrating catering, accommodation and entertainment, you can not only make profits, but also contribute to the better construction of Tongjiang Port.
Of course, the last sentence is for the local government, no matter what you do this year, you have to shout a loud slogan, generally speaking, the more the slogan is shouted, the more Nima is not a thing. Hong Tao originally didn't want to build any Tongjiang, he wanted to let the hotel of Xiaowutong Guò further gain a foothold in Tongjiang, since it was already his favorite stronghold, the things on the ground must be able to be controlled.
Is it just to build a hotel? Definitely not, this is the external statement, according to Hong Tao's plan, this five-story building, three floors up are the guest rooms. The first floor is a high-end bathhouse, in the words of later generations, it is a bathing center; the second floor is a restaurant, you can't say that you want to eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but at least you have to be able to make a table banquet, so that if any company invites a guest or something, you can also have a slightly decent place; the basement is the song hall, at present, karaoke equipment has not entered China on a large scale, but this thing is already available in Hong Kong, Hong Tao does not mind relying on his own strength, a year or two in advance let this thing go to Tongjiang 6 first.
With a song hall and a bathing center, there must be no waiter, this thing Hong Tao also made it clear to Xiao Wu, to make full use of the special local resources, that is, those little hairy people, they are short of money, we are short of people, this is not a win-win thing.
"Nima is compared to you, I'm a decent person, okay! If you don't come out to mix, it's all a waste!" Xiao Wu listened to Hong Tao's design, and laughed so much that his big molars were exposed, what did he not let him do, whether he would cause trouble, he didn't ask a word, his life itself was a big trouble, if there was no trouble, he would have a very tasteless day.
"You can't do it! All the people in the company can't get involved, we built the building, but we don't run it ourselves, we contract out, guest rooms, song halls, bathing centers are contracted out, we can keep a restaurant to do it ourselves." Hong Tao did not continue to pour oil on Xiao Wu, but poured a basin of cold water.
"I understand, aren't you just afraid that something will happen, we have brothers, and we're still the same as before!" Xiao Wu's enthusiasm did not diminish at all, and he also learned this trick.
"It's not enough to have brothers, this money is earned too fast, hot, we can't just earn it ourselves, we have to pull everyone to earn it together. I mean, the song hall, baths, and guest rooms are all joint ventures with the local government, we will pay for them, and they will make faces, and it is best to find a few local Yanai or something to be this contractor, and it will be okay for them to be more, as long as you talk to Sergei and control the source of those little hairies, no one can snatch away these stalls. By the way, you ask Sergey, if he also wants to take a stake, even if he is one. "Hong Tao is still not at ease, people with a character like Xiao Wu dare to fight and make friends, but there is a problem, they are too lonely, they always want to be the same as grabbing land on the street, whoever has a big fist will take it all, this can't be done, it must be evenly interested, and everyone will come to be safe.
"Then what else can we have left?" Sure enough, Xiao Wu was not very happy, he felt that there were too many people taking advantage of them for nothing.
"There's still a lot left, these things come in very quickly, you just listen to me. And money is still on the one hand, what we want is face, there is face, your fifth brother will stand more stable in Tongjiang, I still expect you to be a local snake here, stomp your feet and the whole street trembles, you say this thing is not popular with everyone, can you have a good time?" Hong Tao knows how to enlighten Xiao Wu, what he likes and dislikes, Hong Tao has figured it out.
When Hong Tao had not left Tongjiang, Xiao Wu began to operate the hotel, and someone invested in building a building on the port, which was something that the local government wanted to do, as for those song halls and bathing centers, it was a little more difficult to do, but when Xiao Wu took the son-in-law of the first hand, these things were not difficult to do. Xiao Wu is really obedient, not only the interests of the local customs, industry and commerce, public security, and government, but also the garrison and the farm, yes, let's play together, okay, everyone makes money, and if you play badly, no one should run.
