Lu Li didn't expect Liang Wei to arrive suddenly, and in the past half a month, he has been busy like a spinning top. First of all, the problem of the plan, he himself did not understand the operation process of this kind of thing, carte blanche entrusted to Zhang Dadong, soon after, there was a reply, Zhang Dadong found him an economic company called 'wanton', from market research, prospect planning to the drafting of a series of work.

This is not an overnight thing, one of the most time-consuming is market research, on the surface, it is just some paperwork, but in fact, it is necessary to have sufficient data as a basis, simply put, is to distribute market survey forms along the street, often a thousand forms are sent out, less than 20 can be returned, and the rest are thrown into the trash can as waste paper for passers-by.

Lu Li had never engaged in this kind of commercial activity, and was very interested in taking Gu Zhong, Ah Mao and others to distribute them along the streets in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei and other places, most of them did not accept it at all, and occasionally took it, and they also casually gathered in a ball, stuffed it into the garbage can, and did it in the morning, very few people would take a very serious look, and then take what seemed promising to him: fill out the form and put it in a briefcase or pocket.

For the first time in his life, he knew that there was such a trick to doing business! This time the trouble caused by Xu Yunjian almost made him thoroughly understand the various regulations and laws in the initial stage of business operation, and laid the foundation for the first step in establishing his own super business empire in the future - it was on the streets of Hong Kong in December 1980 that Lu Li realized that the business he had done in Tianjin (Tianjin) was so worthless!

He hiccuped and stretched. The morning spent bowing and saluting every passer-by, smiling and saying kind things, which made him feel that this was better than that of Collins? Hanernan was tired and panicked from a fight in the ring. However, this also has the advantage that his Cantonese listening has improved very well - when he asks for help, he naturally can't ask people to slow down his speech, so he has to guess at first. After a few days, he was basically able to fully understand the speech of pure Hong Kong people.

"Brother Ligo, can you rest for a while? You have to take a breath when you hang yourself. A cat approached and said, "Brother Li, how much did you give away?" ”

Lu Li opened the bag he was carrying and saw that it was empty, "It's all sent out, what about you?" ”

"Brother Zhong and I didn't even send out half of it. How did you do that? ”

Luli grinned, gave him a look, and stepped forward. Stopped a passer-by and spoke in standard Mandarin, "Sir, could you please take a look at our questionnaire?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, in this place in Hong Kong, there are very few northerners! Curious for a moment, he took his questionnaire. Xiang Luli smiled, "It's okay. You speak Cantonese, I understand. But it's not much to say. ”

The man smiled more happily, but did not speak, unfolded the paper to look at it, and put it in his pocket, "Don't worry." I'll fill it out and send it back to you. ”

"Thank you, sir." Seeing the man walk away, Luli turned around. "How?"

"Brother Li, are you talking to him in Chinese?"

"Of course, it's my native language! Besides, everyone has a curiosity, and an old visitor from the mainland, isn't it better to attract the attention of others than you Hong Kong people who send the questionnaire here? ”

The cat laughed, "I also want to learn, how about teaching me?" ”

"Come back, I'll teach you when I have time." Lu Li handed the few remaining forms to Ah Mao and said, "Wait a while, we will eat, you and Ah Zhong will continue to send it after eating, I will ......"

"Brother Li, what's wrong with you? I'll do it! ”

"This matter is not something you can solve, I have to go to Pei Dazhuo's law firm myself, I have to go to Pei Dazhuo's law firm." Lu Linerne's explanation, playing the drum vigorously in his heart, just hoping not to meet that girl who has no tutor! If she were there, it would have to be yellow!

After having lunch with two companions, Lu Li confessed, turned his head and went straight to Ou Pei Linying's law firm in Causeway Bay, Pei Dacheng has a lot of lawsuits, so he made an appointment two days ago, and he didn't want to wait until he entered the office area, and he saw Ou Chenli and several office OLs talking with a chuckle, and he immediately knew that it was not good: it was really a good spirit!

Ou Chenli already knew that he would come today, she and Ou Pei Linying are mother and daughter, the latter received Lu Li's appointment, and also felt strange, talking to her daughter, the two of them couldn't find a reason, but Ou Chenli had a mind and intended to come here, on the one hand, to listen to what he wanted to say to his mother, and on the other hand, without asking, it was to know that he wanted revenge!

“…… It's really saying that everyone is there, and ghosts are here. She pursed the corners of her ruddy mouth contemptuously, and said in a voice that could be heard in the whole office area: "But you have to be careful, oh, Finney, I especially remind you that you can't eat the bento, you have to watch it be thrown into the trash with your own eyes, don't pick it up for others, it's delicious and saves money!" ”

Lu Li turned a deaf ear, bypassed her all the way, and arrived in front of Ou Pei Linying's office, "I'm sorry, I made an appointment with Pei Dayu to meet at one o'clock this afternoon." My name is Luley. ”

The secretary looked through the log and nodded in confirmation, "Yes, Lu Sheng, Pei Dazhuang is waiting for you, you can go in." ”

Lu Li didn't have time to push the door, the fragrant wind around him wafted by, Ou Chenli pushed the door in first, and then slammed the door slammed shut, if it weren't for his quick hands, he might have been bumped in! He shook his head with a wry smile, followed in, and was stunned when he entered the door, in addition to Ou Pei Linying's mother and daughter, there was another person present, he identified it, and remembered that it was the one named Ou Zihao. He is Ou Pei Linying's brother-in-law, who gave birth to a tender and cute baby face, and is already in his fifties, at first glance, he thought he was less than twenty years old! In fact, he was born with such a face that made him feel strange to himself. "Lawyer Pei, Mr. Ou, good afternoon."

"Lu Sheng, please take a seat." Ou Pei Linying was not shocked by the same favor for fifty years, there was almost no expression on a slightly square face, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then asked: "Lu Sheng came to me, is there something?" ”

"Hmm," he groaned, looking for Ou Pei Linying was also helpless. He was very reluctant to mention it in front of another man and a woman, but looking at the expressions of these two people, it was obvious that he did not intend to leave a little privacy for the two of them, and he was not polite to her at the moment, and said straight to the point: "Lawyer Pei." Actually, I am here today not because I have any legal issues to consult you, let alone any lawsuit I want you to defend, but because I have a little business request for your help. Here's the situation......"

Ou Pei Linying, Ou Chenli and Ou Zihao didn't expect him to come here for this reason, so they were very stunned, "Lu Sheng, you ...... it"

"Mommy," Ou Chenli said to her mother completely in English. Lu Li didn't understand at all, so she had to pretend to listen calmly, for a long time, and she didn't know what Ou Chenli said, and it could be seen from her expression that she didn't agree to vouch for her.

Fortunately, Ou Pei Linying did not have prejudices against Lu Li like her daughter, so she patted her hand comfortingly and said to Lu Li: "Lu Sheng." I wonder how your preparations are going? Also, I don't know if you want me to vouch for it. How much money do you borrow from a banker? ”

"You mean the plan, right? I have entrusted the company to prepare the materials. You know, I don't really know much about this, but I've been following it up, and I'm learning. As for how much, I think, 3 million is enough. ”

Ou Pei Linying nodded. said that he understood, "Lu Sheng, maybe because of my late husband's business back then, so many people will think that I am also a businessman, but in fact. My expertise is still in law. In the business field, my Mason has always been in charge, oh, Mason is Mr. Ou Zihao sitting next to you. ”

Seeing that Lu Li's face was tense, the woman smiled, "But it doesn't make sense at all, but you can't say that." I have a question for Lu Sheng, and if your answer satisfies me, I think that even if there are some problems with the bank, we can personally negotiate with each other. ”

"Oh?"

"The question is, if I promise you to guarantee you, or I personally or from the Ou's company to pay this expense, as your hot pot restaurant start-up capital, what kind of benefits do you think I or the Ou's company can get?"

"I don't understand your question."

"In business, I like the business of your hot pot restaurant very much. Actually, before you came here, Alan came to me and talked to me in detail about your plans, and I was very interested. ”

Lu Li swallowed dryly, he probably understood a little, Ou Pei Linying planned to get a piece of the pie! This made him feel a little surprised, "Lawyer Pei, Ou Clan...... Is it such a big company that will also be interested in my small store? ”

"That's right. I thought about it, if you are willing to accept it, I am willing to personally contribute 5 million in exchange for 40% of your shares. If your business is not good, I will never ask you for it. Lu Sheng, you have to think about it carefully, this is almost a pie falling from the sky, falling straight on your head! ”

Lu Li shook his head, "I don't believe it. ”

"Huh?"

"I've never believed in pie in the sky, and if you really want to do that, I hope you can give me a convincing answer, and then we'll talk about how this is going on the basis of each other's sincerity."

Ou Pei Linying and Ou Zihao exchanged a look, got up and went to the filing cabinet, took out a file, and held it in his hand, "Lu Sheng, please forgive me, I just said that my specialty is in law, but I will also ask some business matters." And Euclidean,...... There are some things that don't have to be said to you right now. You just have to understand that I have never been malicious. As for this document, it is after the case on April 4 this year, we conducted some simple investigations, and the specific content is mainly the relationship between you and Li Ting, the first secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee. Of course, there are a lot of omissions in the content, which you can take a look at. ”

Lu Li didn't expect Ou Pei Linying to investigate herself in secret, she was really a little cold! After taking the file and opening it, his heart gradually slowed down, because the two countries have different national conditions and different folk customs, which makes it almost impossible for Hong Kong investigators to go to the mainland to obtain information, and some are only very cursory: Lu Li and Li Ting's son Li Zhengrong have a very good relationship, and the two usually call each other brothers. But when and why this friendship was formed, the investigators have no way to find out, so they have to doubt it for the time being.

More content is after Lu Li and Xu Yunjian went to Hong Kong for the second time on September 6, which is mixed with a lot of Zhang Dadong's oral account. Basically, let the other party know that the purpose of Lu Li's trip is to do business. Of course, at the time they didn't know what Luley wanted to do here - in fact, he just had an idea to sell mutton shabu, but whether it could be realized or not, they didn't know at all.

"How's it going, Lu Sheng. Do you get it? ”

"Got it." Lu Li closed the file and put it back on the table, "Lawyer Pei, I still don't understand, with your Ou family's big business, since you think selling mutton is a good idea, why don't you do it yourself?" Do you have to take my ride? ”

"Ou's own catering company may not be able to change its career to make mutton shabu, which is familiar to northerners. But what we agree more with is the relationship between you and the Li family. From this point of view, we would rather not make this money, but we must not offend you and force you out of Hong Kong. ”

Luli suddenly understood! "You Ou clan want to enter the mainland?!"

"That's right!" This time, it was Ou Zihao who took the lead in speaking, "Among our Ou's financial analysts, there are a total of 22 doctors and master's degrees, and the vast majority of them think so. The mainland, which has begun to implement the policy of reform and opening up, will be the first golden treasure land for the future development of the world economy! If only we could get in touch with the mainland now. And do a good job in exchanges, when the time is ripe in the future, enter the mainland market, for the development of Euclide, will have an unparalleled strategic role. ”

"Even then, you don't have to go through me, huh? With your connections. Isn't that enough to open another channel? Not to mention the neighboring Guangdong Province, it is the central ......"

"It's not that easy! What do you think the mainland is like now? There is still ideology that determines everything, don't say that you get closer to others, as long as you know that you are from Hong Kong, there will be people staring at you all the time! Our people. It's hard to walk there. Therefore, we must find a person who has brains and connections on the mainland and who dares to be the first to act as our agent, so that this matter can be successful. ”

Luli pondered for a long time and asked, "So, what do you need me to do?" ”

"It's nothing, it's still your business as usual, but at the right time, I hope you can build a bridge for us to connect the two places. As for the forty percent of the income I just mentioned, if you want, we can reduce the percentage, or even don't want anything. ”

"Nope."

Ou Pei Linying and Ou Zihao were stunned at the same time, "I'm sorry, what did you say?" ”

"I said no." Lu Li stood up, "Pei Dazhuo, Mr. Ou, what you just said is very reasonable, and I agree very much that China may indeed be a paradise for countless businessmen in the future." But if you want to go through some relationships through me, I can't agree. ”

"Can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple, I am friends with Li Zhengrong and others, and our relationship, and even some economic exchanges, are based on the mutual benefit of friendship, or I can explain to you that he and I are friends first, and then talk about other things. And what you're asking me to do now, in my opinion, is a departure from my definition of friendship. I can't agree with this kind of friendship based on economic interests, which, in my opinion, is putting the cart before the horse. So, I'm sorry, I don't agree. ”

Ou Zihao really didn't expect him to say such a crooked reason, so he laughed angrily, "Lu Sheng, I respect your respect for the word friend." But I want to tell you that there is no place to survive in the commercial society. ”

"It may be true in Hong Kong. But in my homeland, not yet. ”

"It may be so now, but what about in the future? Do you spend the rest of your life hiding on a desert island with no one and not doing any economic dealings with the outside world in order to stick to the concept of friends in your heart? ”

Luli thought about it very seriously, "Well, when it comes to eloquence, the three Luli together can't say anything about you. But that's okay, let's keep this philosophy of the economy in our own way. ”

"You're not an idea at all!" Ou Chenli suddenly interjected, she had been listening to the side, at first she felt that her mother and second uncle's ideas were a little unrealistic, what is Lu Li? At first glance, he has never seen the world, relying on his own brain, he recklessly broke into Hong Kong, and with these things, he wanted his family to provide him with a bank loan guarantee? I really don't know how thick the sky is!

But as the conversation progressed, she gradually understood that this kind of pretentiousness of her mother and second uncle was actually to achieve other purposes through him? Thinking about it this way, it's not bad, after all, my mother and second uncle have experienced a long time in the shopping mall, and they have seen a lot of situations, if through this relationship, they can expand Ou's influence and social status in Hong Kong, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. But what she didn't expect was that Luli actually refused?

"You are not a concept at all, it's just that you have never seen the changes in the world and the development of the economy, behind closed doors, self-righteous ......, thinking that with your own strength, you can ......, looking at your appearance, it doesn't look like you have studied, do you think that modern business can be done by a few people, and can support development for a long time? You're far from it! ”

Lu Lili ignored her, and said to Ou Pei Linying: "Lawyer Pei, you haven't given me an accurate answer to the matter I asked you to consider just now?" ”

Ou Pei Linying had the urge to laugh, she had just rejected her proposal so harshly, and now she was embarrassed to ask herself to vouch for him? But her long-term good education prevented her from speaking ill, and she said, "Mr. Lu, didn't you understand what I just said? ”

"I understand, but as you just said, didn't you also say that you are very interested in my small shop?"

"That's because ......" Ou Pei Linying was about to refuse, when she suddenly saw Ou Zihao's eyes, and when the words came out, she changed her original intention, "Okay, let me think about it, okay?" I'll give you an accurate answer to him tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Good. Then please. Luli stopped and took his leave. (To be continued......)
