As early as half a month before my return, Huaxing Company had sent relevant personnel to Shanghai to start the work of setting up a Chinese branch. According to my meaning, the establishment of the branch here in Shanghai is personally undertaken by Sun Wendi, the current CEO of Huaxing.

This company cadre I single-handedly raised has raised Huaxing's business to a new level in the past year, and then his position in the company has been promoted to the position of CEO.

At present, Huaxing is still a legal trading company in its name, and the company's annual turnover is about 100 million US dollars. Some of these smuggling operations are carried out secretly under the company's banners...... The specific smuggling profits have reached tens of millions of dollars per year. Of course, the amount I spend every year on bribing Vancouver customs and the Jǐng government network is at least millions of dollars.

Sun Wendi is not ignorant of smuggling business, but many multinational trading companies and large companies in the world will inevitably have some illegal business in secret, which is very normal. Moreover, it is not surprising that companies engaged in ocean-going trade also secretly engage in some smuggling business.

It's just that he seems to be a little surprised that I sent him to Shanghai to open a Chinese branch in person, and in his opinion, it would be good for him to be a CEO in Vancouver, and this kind of branch is enough to send other people. But then I told him that the company's future strategic focus was on Asia. I even expressed a little bit of the idea that the Chinese branch would replace the Vancouver headquarters in the future, and Wendi Sun agreed with my decision.

The Huaxing (China) branch was set up in Lujiazui, Shanghai, and before I arrived, Wendi Sun was already responsible for most of the construction of the branch, including the selection of the company's address. On this point, I rejected Wendi Sun's offer to rent office space, and instead decided to spend money on two floors of a building. It's a lot more expensive, but what I mean is clear: we're not here to make money and then leave. I'm back this time, so I'm not going to leave. Huaxing will take root here.

Moreover, in the long run, even if God willing, the scale of the company continues to expand, and the existing space is not enough to sustain it, then even if I have to change to a new place, I will not lose. Because the housing prices in Shanghai are soaring all the way, even if you sell this place in the future, you will only make money and not lose money.

About 50 employees were hired locally in Shanghai, as for the company's management. Ten key personnel were transferred from the Vancouver headquarters to enrich the middle and senior management of the Shanghai company, and several local recruits were also selected to serve as middle leaders. The prototype of the company has been initially established.

Of course, this isn't the kind of bag company I built like I was messing around in Africa.

"We are outsiders, and we have no roots in everything here...... We need some good PR talent...... Boss, I think the company's original administrative secretary, Miss Xu Xin, is very capable of this, and I think I can transfer her to Shanghai to be the company's public relations manager......" After Sun Wendi made this suggestion to me, I thought about it and then refused.

Recently, Xiluo and Xu Xin's Nizi are in a hot fight, Xiluo is my best brother, for me to be born and die. Even I was able to sit in the position of the leader of the Great Circle, all because of Xi Luo's name to kill the Eight Masters Gang. My good brother has just gotten a little nourishment from love, and I can't spoil his good deeds at this time.

At the critical moment when the two of them fell in love for the first time, I pulled his close lover from Vancouver to Shanghai, and the Ciro who stayed in Vancouver was afraid that he would go crazy.

After coming to the Shanghai branch of Huaxing from the airport, I immediately held the first meeting of the branch company, of course, I did not know much about these legal businesses. It is mainly hosted by Sun Wendi, and I, as the boss of the company, only need to attend the town scene.

However, because my fame was too big some time ago, and I was so popular in the United States, all kinds of reports and news about me, especially entertainment news, had already spread to China, and I found that at the conference, many new company members from Shanghai were secretly looking at me. After all, I'm a big star right now.

By the way, originally Wendi Sun was very disagreeable with me going to get an African investment branch. But when I came back from Africa, there was a 180-degree shift in his mindset.

Why?

Because I have established a close personal friendship with the head of state of the East African country, General Sleepy Tower! It can even be said that it is ...... 拈拈 for jiān!

Trapped Towers are not good people, let alone patriots - to be honest, in many small African countries, there is a general lack of a sense of national identity, and there is also a sense of tribal and racial identity, which is far greater than that of the country.

Country G is economically backward and needs to be built.

The head of state of country G is a trapped tower general, and he is a good friend who is allied with me by blood!

The head of state of the country, General Sleepy Tower, was not a good man, let alone a patriot, and in his heart, he cared more about his overseas private property than about state property. Otherwise, he would not have sold all the ownership of the diamond mine and secretly embezzled the profits.

"We can do business with country g. Import, export, you can do it! Country G is backward, they need all kinds of construction, although it is small, but after all, it is also a country. They need all kinds of resources, they need us, we sell them anything, except, of course, restricted contraband, and even more so arms. But for the rest, we can even monopolize it. When Sun Wendi talked about the company's business, he always looked at me quickly: "Boss, you are a good friend of General Sleepy Tower, we can sign an import and export agreement with country G in the name of Huaxing Company, so that we can even monopolize the national foreign trade of the entire country G!" And then what resources does country G have that can be exported, we can also buy ...... These are profitable businesses. ”

In the end, Sun Wendi made a summary: "The most profitable business in the world is not arms, not drugs...... It's a monopoly! Any business, as long as it can be monopolized, is always the most profitable! Now we have a great opportunity in front of us! ”

I thought about it for a moment and said with a wry smile: "There are three problems, first, there doesn't seem to be any resources in country G that we can buy...... They are very backward in terms of economy and commerce...... There are no resources left other than minerals. ”

"Then we'll import diamond ore." Sun Wendi said lightly: "There are other ...... Timber, timber is also a resource...... No, we can even invest in building factories in country G, there is no shortage of forest resources in East Africa, we can do a lot of wood processing there, paper, furniture, all kinds of tools...... And so on and so forth, and then sell some of the parts on the spot, and ship the rest to Canada or China for sale...... These are profitable businesses. ”

"Hmm...... Imported diamond ore. I smiled, "I don't need this anymore." We already own 40 percent of the diamond mines, and every year the raw diamonds are shipped out, and then we can do the diamond business...... As for what you said about monopolizing the trade of country G, that's a great idea. ”

"Of course, my boss, I really think it's a brilliant idea for you to go to Africa." Sun Wendi smiled happily.

"Then the second question." I sighed: "We do business with G country, so the only contact person is G country zhèngfǔ." Because country G is very poor, there are no big companies in their country that can cooperate with us, and we can only directly negotiate with their zhèngfǔ about purchasing and trading. But I doubt their ability to pay...... You haven't been there. g country zhèngfǔ is very poor. Although the trapped tower himself was rich, his zhèngfǔ was poor. ”

"It's better, they can pay directly with their resources." Sun Wendi smiled like a standard jiān merchant: "If they don't have any money, they can use diamond ore, or even timber, or other things to pay for the goods." We don't care anyway. ”

"Well, the third question ......" I thought for a moment: "Sun, you may have forgotten that this is China." Not Canada...... There are many differences between doing business in China and doing business in Canada. We are a trading company, but China's trade to Africa is restricted by the state...... Well, the country sets up a quota every year, and we have to find a way to get a quota to export to Africa. Otherwise, our goods will not even be able to get out of customs. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but glance at him: "You...... You can't be smuggling, right? ”

I frowned, because of the terms of my deal with Ren Lei, I returned to China, but I guarantee that my business in China is legal, how do they know that I am the largest smuggling alliance on the west coast of Canada, and no one will let a smuggling oligarch like me return to China to do large-scale smuggling business to harm the interests of the country.

That is, I do not allow smuggling in the country. This is the condition. Of course, they also gave me a lot of preferential conditions, so I won't go into them one by one.

"Boss, did you forget? We're a Canadian company. Sun Wendi smiled slyly: "You see, we can purchase goods domestically in the name of exporting to Canada -- Chinese goods are very cheap, and low prices and good quality are the biggest characteristics of Chinese goods in the international market." In the name of customs clearance in China, our goods are not shipped to Africa, but to Canada! Then, from Canada to Africa! As for the question of customs......"

When he said this, he suddenly closed his mouth and smiled at me with deep meaning.

I immediately understood that I had made a fool......

Customs in Africa?

Joke! What customs do I have to go through when my goods enter Country G? Do I even suspect that there is a customs office in country G?

My goods enter country G, as long as General Trapped Tower nods in agreement and sends a word, who will stop me?

Well...... Although this is definitely illegal, I only promised not to do illegal business in China, but to do it abroad...... Then no problem.

Wendi Sun described to me a very enticing idea......

"We can procure all kinds of necessities for national production and national life domestically, and then ship them to Africa and country G to trade, and earn a lot of profits. If they don't have the ability to pay in cash, they can use the diamond mine as payment for the goods, or...... With wood! The business of the diamond mines, the owner, can be entrusted to our branch in Africa to be done by cāo, and if wood is used. As I said, we don't have to bring the timber back, but we have a timber processing plant in country G, a small country in East Africa. Labor is very cheap (and when he talks about cheap labor, I suddenly think of the slave-like miners in the mines), which will greatly reduce our land costs. Then we take the finished products, such as paper, chopsticks, furniture, etc., and ship them to China and Canada for sale, which is a profitable business. ”

Then Wendi Sun told me a very classic business case:

About two decades ago, when China's economy was just starting to take off. rì himself was once very cunning yīn Chinese once! Rì himself purchased large quantities of peanuts at very low prices in the Shandong region of China.

Then these peanuts were put on the ship and went to sea, but they were not shipped back to Rìben. Instead, the ship stopped on the high seas, and there were processing machinery and equipment on board, and the peanuts were processed on the spot, and the peanut kernels were pressed into peanut oil, and the peanut shells were made into fiber plates! [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

Then, the cargo ship immediately returned to China and sold peanut oil and fiber sheets to the Chinese at a high price!

The profits earned from this cunning approach are staggering!

I talked to Sun Wendi for a long time. I couldn't help but talk: "Dear Sun ...... If this continues, I am afraid that I will soon become a capitalist. ”

"My boss ......" Sun Wendi smiled slyly and looked at me: "You have long been a capitalist." ”

********************

I've always admired Wendi Sun, he's definitely a business genius and he's full of drive, and of course I'm going to be tied to my chariot with such talent. I gave him a part of the company's shares, and then simply handed over the Shanghai branch of Huaxing to him to preside over. Of course, the company in Vancouver was handed over to someone else.

For the opening of the Shanghai branch, I held a small banquet and invited some officials from the local official authorities, the industrial and commercial tax inspection and law ...... Wait a minute. There are a few other customers.

I didn't attend such a banquet, so I handed it over to Sun Wendi to deal with.

Then, to my surprise, I received requests from some media outlets to book interviews.

Moreover, the media that asked me to interview me was not a commercial finance ...... All of them are entertainment media.

Damn, you really think of me as a celebrity in the entertainment industry......

I wanted to say no, but then I changed my mind and gave an interview to a TV station. My idea is: after all, I still own a film company, and I may not have the opportunity to get involved in the domestic entertainment industry in the future, maybe it will be beneficial to do so.

I was interviewed by a local hostess of a well-known entertainment program in Shanghai, and the interview took place in my office.

"Mr. Chen, the Billy Hill Film Company you own in Hollywood, this year's action movie based on the last real case is a big hit, is there any mystery in it?"

"You also said that it is based on reality, which is a selling point."

"What other movies are the company going to shoot next?"

"Yes." I didn't go into details.

"May I ask if Lei Xiaohu is still the starring role? Chinese movie fans are very fond of Tiger and think he will become a new generation of action movie superstars. ”

"Yes." I'm a little bored.

"There's one more problem...... I heard that you are returning to China to invest in business...... Are you ready to invest in films? Or other entertainment industries? ”

"Not yet...... However, this possibility cannot be ruled out in the future. I smiled.

"So, do you know anything about the domestic entertainment industry?"

"......" I thought about it and smiled: "I have been abroad for several years, and I have not paid attention to the domestic entertainment industry in the past few years...... Speaking of this, my heart suddenly moved, and I couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, I do know a name...... Well, she should be very popular right now, right? Jenny, right? ”

The hostess deliberately showed a fuss expression, and then smiled: "Oh? Jenny? Oh my God, Mr. Chen, don't you know? Jenny can be said to be in the best of luck now, and she will hold a solo concert in Shanghai in the near future. It seems that Mr. Chan admires Jenny...... I wonder if there will be an opportunity to work together in the future? ”

"Possibly." I smiled.

"Well......" The hostess saw my absent-mindedness, so she asked another question: "In fact, in the movie that just hit the big hit, Lei Xiaohu played the role sè." It's based on a true story...... In other words, in the movie, he is playing you, are you satisfied with his playing? ”

I laughed...... I don't know how many times I've been asked a similar question on a talk show in the United States.

"Hmm...... I think he's doing a great job. First of all, his kung fu is good, and secondly, he is very young and handsome. I'm so happy to have such a handsome guy play me. ”

"Hehe......" The hostess laughed a few times, glanced at me, and complimented: "Actually, you are also very young and handsome...... Let me ask you another question for many of your fans, Mr. Chen, you are so young, but now you are a big man. You're also known as Hollywood's upstart, and your current position in Hollywood can be described as significant. What is your secret to being able to make such a successful career at such a young age? ”

I shook my head, and was about to reply with the same prevarication as diplomatic rhetoric in the United States facing the media, when suddenly my heart moved......

I'm in the country now!

Thinking of this, a strange thought came to my mind.

I sat up straight, then looked at the camera lens in front of me with a serious face

"I want to thank one person." There was a strange smile on my lips and a deep gaze. said slowly: "If it weren't for him, I'm afraid I'm still messing around in the country now, and I'm still a small corner sè in the country...... If he hadn't 'pushed' me at a critical time. I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

The hostess next to me looked at me with confused eyes, and I continued to say the last sentence to the camera:

"Thank you! Everything I have today is thanks to you! ”

……

“…… Thank you for ......"

When this sentence was transmitted to thousands of households along the TV screen, what I didn't know was that in front of a certain TV in a certain city, when this sentence came out on the TV, a pair of cold eyes stared at me on the screen, and then ......

Bite!

The thug in one hand struck a tall glass cup, and the shards of glass cut the muscles of the palm, and the red blood flowed...... However, the owner of this hand didn't seem to care, and his fist clenched even tighter......

********************

At the same time, in another place, in front of another television, a beautiful face with obvious mixed-race features was full of excitement, and those charming eyes were full of tears, she looked at the television and muttered, "He remembers me...... Didn't forget my ......."

When I came back, I found that I was much lighter and happier than I was in Vancouver.

Anyway, the company was staring at Sun Wendi, and I spent two days doing nothing, so I asked Tu to drive me around the streets of Shanghai.

We don't know the roads in Shanghai, but that's okay, it's just a drive, and sometimes I don't get bored of driving from morning to night. As long as I look at the signs in Chinese all over the street, all of them are yellow-skinned and black-haired people, I am very happy in my heart.

I didn't go to those scenic spots, so I'm happy to just visit them.

Every night, I would call Yan Di...... I didn't bring Yan Di back because I had just returned to China, and God knows if there would be any trouble, after all, I know very well that I still have big opponents in China. So to be on the safe side, I left Yan Di in Vancouver for the time being. When everything is going well here, I'm ready to pick her up.

The day ended with my laid-back rì as I welcomed a guest.

Wu Gang.

"Okay, Wu Gang, don't be so serious." I invited him into my office, but Wu Gang kept a straight face.

"Chen Yang." As soon as he sat down, he frowned and looked at me: "You've been back for so long, why don't you go and see Nannan?" ”

I'm speechless...... I can't answer that question, and I don't know how to answer it.

"I know you're back, and I know she's eager to see you. But she didn't come, and when I asked her, she didn't say anything...... Damn, you two have one reaction! Wu Gang was a little impatient: "She will come to Shanghai in a few days, and you can solve it yourself!" Lao Tzu can't control so much...... But if you dare to bully her...... Hum! ”

I smiled wryly and didn't speak.

"No matter!" Wu Gang waved his hand: "I have important things to do this time." ”

"What's the matter? You don't want me to do anything for you, do you? I smiled wryly.

"Of course it's a good thing!" Wu Gang snorted: "Are you going to do trade import and export to Africa?" You also know that our country has restrictions on trade with Africa, and I am worried that you will not be able to get trade quotas for imports and exports to Africa. Ren Lei also helped you say a lot of good things. In this way, you don't have to think of any way to take advantage of the loopholes, and the above will not treat people like you who have contributed to the country badly. Now I can give you some quotas! It is convenient for you to trade directly to Africa. ”

Oh? That's a good thing!

In this way, I don't have to worry about shipping the goods to Canada and then transshipment to Africa, which saves time and a lot of costs.

"There is one more thing about Fang Nan...... Well, but she won't let me talk to you, so let's do it, she'll be coming to Shanghai recently, waiting for you to meet, and let her tell you by herself if she wants. ”
