Chapter 130: Pressing Step by Step
Thanks to Qiao Lao Fox for giving me this club, in more than a week, I have basically broken into the upper class circle in Shanghai. Week after week, I attended various dinners, private banquets, private parties, and I wore a cigar, a crisp dress, and shiny leather shoes, and traveled among the billionaires or powerful people.
Because of the information that the old fox has collected over the years, I can easily know the other person's preferences, weaknesses, and all other detailed information before I get in touch with the other party.
When you deliberately want to make friends with someone, and you know all of their preferences and habits, then it becomes very easy.
So, for a week, in Shanghai's upper circles, the young talent Chen Yang is already a social celebrity, an upstart in Shanghai's social circle.
I have no roots in the country, and the convenience brought to me by these big people can be said to be huge!
The operation of Shanghai Huaxing Company and the import and export business required several approvals from the departments in charge of foreign trade and economic cooperation, and I made a phone call to a certain minister I met at a banquet the night before, and the approval was delivered to my office in the afternoon. A wealthy man took a fancy to a piece of land in Puxi, I learned the inside information, and immediately bought the shares of the listed company under his name on the same day, but two days later, the news that the company had marked the land came out, and the stock rose sharply, and I also made a small profit.
For example, a wealthy man from Zhejiang Province wants to dump his products in North America, and I talk to him for one night, and he drinks a bottle of good wine at the banquet, and the next day his goods can enter Canada in the name of my company, and I will be escorted by my customs network in Canada along the way. And in return...... I was given the right to distribute his products at a price 10% lower than the market price.
I have to say that in this circle, doing business is actually so simple.
"Every day I go around these rich circles and get a few random news. Or maybe a little leak in their fingers is enough for you to make a fortune. "That's the old fox's words, and I've experienced it to the fullest this week.
In any country, doing business, it pays attention to connections. This is a well-established fact.

"Don't you think it's a pity?" Yang Wei watched me withdraw the headquarters of Huaxing Company in North America to Shanghai, leaving only Xiluo in North America...... That kid is still fighting with Luo Yazhou's niece Xu Xin. It seems that I can't get tired of it.
"What a pity?"
Yang sighed slightly: "Canada's career is something you have worked hard to spell out. β
"I'm Chinese." I said lightly: "I am yellow-skinned, black-haired, and black-eyed. And Canada, after all, is not our territory. You're right, I have gained the upper hand for a while by hard work and luck, but after a long time, will they tolerate a Chinese person standing on their head all the time? It's ridiculous that I naively thought that I could always control the smuggling business there. β
Yang Wei was relieved: "I have long wanted to persuade you that the smuggling business there can be made some capital in the past few years, but in the long run, it is difficult for you to control it." After all, in Canada, you're just taking advantage of the situation. The real strength in your hands is not enough to control the situation there. If you think about it, your real power is not overwhelming, even in Vancouver, the combined power of those gangsters is enough to swallow you. Taking control of the smuggling business across the West Coast with a small local gang is a tightrope walk, and one day something will go wrong. If you can figure it out so early, I can break it, and I'm relieved. β
Speaking of this, Yang Wei frowned and said: "Actually, I have also received news, do you think those smuggling groups at sea are really willing to pay you a large amount of protection fees every year?" In fact, they have never given up making small moves in secret, and several gangsters in Vancouver have connections with them, but you have been gaining momentum, so no one dares to oppose you. But after a long time, people's greed cannot be controlled. β
"I will choose to fade out of the underworld slowly." I smiled: "A few years of underworld career in North America have accumulated a lot of capital for me. With money in hand, I would like to be a legitimate businessman in China...... Of course, the power of Canada, I will not give up completely...... Even if the company's headquarters moved to Shanghai for me, at least, there would be a Huaxing Gang there! Ha ha...... The smuggling business, in a few years, I will slowly let go, the protection fee will be slowly canceled, let those local gangsters fight, Ciro will stay there, and we will slowly do the smuggling business ourselves, and the water will flow for a long time. "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]
Yang Wei hesitated: "Actually...... Have you considered that if you want to get the most development, in fact, your best choice is not to return to China...... Instead, go to the United States! β
United States......
I frowned.
Yang Weizheng said: "Your power in Canada has developed to a critical point. Unless you start confronting the angels of hell. However, this seems unrealistic, and it is better to have the Hellangels as allies. Then your base is considerable. You have the friendship of Canada's biggest gangster, and ...... My uncle also considers you a friend. You also have huge connections in the entertainment industry in the United States. And also...... Martin from the Rothschilds is also your business partner. Such a foundation can make almost anyone jealous and jealous. If you can take advantage of these conditions, with sufficient funds and people, to enter the American market, you may be able to establish a family in less than five years! And the domestic ......" Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Indeed, it has to be said that in terms of the external environment, the domestic market is far less open than that of the United States. After all, the United States is a recognized adventurer's paradise.
"Do you want to build a family...... I closed my eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Sounds tempting...... However, there is certainly a lot more to be done...... Do you have a film business? I don't really have much interest, and Billy Hill Films is a partnership with the Rothschild family, so I'm not very interested in making movies myself, even though the industry is very profitable. As for going down the underworld...... In front of me is the American mafia, and the Gambino family is definitely going to touch it...... Alas, slightly, I'm actually a little tired of it. I'm a little tired of the underworld. Maybe I will do something in the future, but for now, it seems that I can feel at ease by putting these things in the country to an end first. β
"Domestic settlement......" Yang smiled: "The big circle thing, the hands you play with are very beautiful, I feel that I have nothing more to help you." Even if I did, I wouldn't have been able to play more beautifully. Now Thunderfox is definitely finished, it's just a matter of time. And Qinghong ...... Neither the prefix of heaven nor the prefix of earth has the meaning of being embarrassed by you. As for the herringbone prefix, everyone knows it won't grow...... The only thing left is ......"
"It's Ye Huan."
*******
What is Ye Huan doing?
In fact, Ye Huan must have been very troubled recently.
Because, taking advantage of the jewelry and diamond business, I blatantly beat the signboard of Huaxing Company back to Nanjing!
Working with the jeweler in Nanjing, I wouldn't have simply sold the diamond to them. Our final negotiating condition is: cooperation.
The content of the cooperation also includes that I will invest a sum of money and then officially participate in this century-old jeweler.
Just two days later, after an intense renovation, the main store in Baoqing was renovated, and the new activities were officially launched, and it was announced that the company officially cooperated with Huaxing. At the same time, the activity of "Baoqing Huaxing, Bright Light, Diamond Week" was launched.
The announcement is that Baoqing's partner, Huaxing Company, which is currently in the limelight, will use its relationship in Canada to officially invest in the domestic jewelry industry, and from then on, Baoqing Company will get the supply of diamond products from Canada!
And everything, legally (at least from the documents and nominal).
Canada is the world's third largest diamond producing country, and in the name of Huaxing Company, a large part of all the diamonds I sell to Baoqing Jinlou in the future will be marked with the words "Canada".
I took this opportunity to put the signboard of Huaxing Company, formally, and openly, under Ye Huan's nose!
It's not that Ye Huan didn't want to make trouble for me, and it wasn't that he didn't do something secretly. But since my last assassination, my protest against Wu Gang has also played a big role.
After all, my return to China was approved by the relevant parties, and my trip to Africa also contributed to the country, and their promise to me was that legitimate business would be protected.
My accident before had already made Wu Gang's people feel disgraced, so this time I openly set foot in the jewelry industry, and I also received special attention from the relevant parties, even if someone wanted to make trouble for me...... I can't get my hands on it!
In order to support the faΓ§ade, I used the friendship I had established to invite many wealthy people to the show, and many wealthy people were attracted by the high-quality diamonds on display, so they wrote checks to buy them.
And I remembered the hostage kidnapping incident in the Torch Building in the United States, and I waited for inspiration from that event, and simply spent money to invite some domestic entertainment stars to participate, so that those handsome men and beautiful women wore our diamond jewelry as guests, which is better than any advertisement.
The cooperation and publicity of the media also made this matter fully exposed to the spotlight of the media, and in such a situation, Ye Huan was not easy to act.
Hmph, step by step! This feeling must make Ye Huan very uncomfortable......
