"Ahh
The words from next door made Xu Lingyun's heart tighten, she didn't ask much about family matters, but now some things that her father-in-law had mentioned in the past immediately appeared in her mind, those foreign companies seem to be fiercely competitive, but they have the same position in one aspect, just like the Liu comprador said, those foreign companies that think they have suffered a "big loss", how can they give up, they will definitely join forces to deal with their husbands and deal with the Zhu family.
This, how can this be good?
Just when Xu Lingyun was anxious, she heard her husband's words.
"Oh, you mean Thompson!"
Savoring the tea in the cup, Zhu Yifeng replied lightly.
"Whether they'll give up, I don't know, but ......"
The originally slightly narrowed eyes opened suddenly, and the corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips lifted lightly.
"But, I'm sure I'm not going to give up!"
What the!
Liu Yixuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhu Yifeng in surprise, he couldn't speak for a long time, he, what was he talking about?
"Brother Yifeng, you, you are ......"
"Brother Liu,"
Looking directly at Liu Yixuan, Zhu Yifeng continued.
"I think you also know that at the beginning, if it weren't for those foreign banks who repeatedly breached the contract, how could my father and son end up in the current step, first my old father was depressed, if it weren't for God's pity, I'm afraid that now I, Zhu Yifeng, is just the soil under the hills!"
Although he still doesn't understand Liu Yixuan's intentions, Zhu Yifeng still said his thoughts, even if Liu Yixuan spreads it, there is not much loss to him, the mall is such a battlefield, those people try to deal with themselves, then they have to make things "private anger", only in this way can the interests of foreign businessmen be broken.
"If this revenge is not avenged, how can Zhu be a son of man? How can Zhu give up! ”
Zhu Yifeng's answer made Liu Yixuan stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said.
"Indeed, indeed!"
If the father does not take revenge, how can he be the son of man!
Listening to his explanation, Liu Yixuan didn't think that he was a little reckless in his relationship with foreign businessmen, and while nodding his head in praise, he listened to Zhu Yifeng again.
"Moreover, once this matter came out, it was very helpful to our businessmen, at least, it can make people understand that since the market is now open, our past rules must be changed, and if you want to do business with foreigners, you have to adapt to their rules, and blindly complaining about the cunning of outsiders is not a long-term solution?"
"Brother Yifeng, it has been 12 years since the Nanjing Treaty agreed on trade between five mouths more than ten years ago, and how many people are willing to adapt to the rules of Westerners?"
With a long sigh, Liu Yixuan's gaze became more and more complicated when he looked at Zhu Yifeng.
"As far as I know, in the past ten years, you are still the first, as for the others, it is just to complain about the cunning of foreigners! Yifeng, I don't know what you plan to do next? ”
Considering the sensitivity of his identity, Liu Yixuan hurriedly explained.
"To tell you the truth, I'm already ready to leave the foreign bank, maybe when the time comes, I will want my brother to help me and enjoy food!"
Although it seems to be a joke, his words made Zhu Yifeng's heart move, although he knows what business to make money, but whether it is his "previous life" or "future life", there is not much real weather in business, and there are naturally no talents who are proficient in business.
The person in front of him is also a good candidate, but ...... Is he reliable?
Although he was worried, Zhu Yifeng smiled.
"I'm afraid that my small temple can't accommodate the great god Brother Liu, if Brother Liu doesn't give up at that time, the younger brother will definitely welcome him."
Then Zhu Yifeng changed the topic again, looked at him and said.
"Actually, what the younger brother wants to engage in is foreign trade!"
"Foreign trade?"
"In general, it is the import of foreign goods and the export of domestic products!"
"Oh, isn't that what the foreign company is doing now? ……”
When Liu Yixuan responded, Zhu Yifeng then explained.
"It is now the business of foreign companies, and for many years, the export rights of Chinese goods have been held by foreign businessmen. In Shanghai and other places, the larger British and foreign companies have Jardine Matheson, Baoshun, Yan Kee, Fair, etc., and the American merchants have Qichang and Qiongji. They operate Huawu purely on behalf of the villager. That is, by virtue of its foreign relations and privileges in China, it accepts commissions and earns commissions by buying chemicals, and does "business without capital", and the same is true for the goods it sells to China, so the younger brother is ready to buy goods in China, export them directly to Europe and the United States, and then buy goods from Europe and the United States and sell them directly to China. ”
Although it is just the simplest foreign trade import and export, but in Liu Yixuan's ears, it makes him feel surprised, even if he has been in the foreign bank for more than ten years, he, like many foreign businessmen, has never thought of direct export, but is satisfied with the tradition of sitting on the ground to receive goods and then sell them to foreign companies, as for direct export to foreign countries, that is what foreign companies do.
"This kind of business used to be done by foreign companies!"
"Why can't we do it when foreign companies are capable?"
Zhu Yifeng's rhetorical question exploded in Liu Yixuan's ears like thunder.
"But, but this is to snatch food from foreign companies, and when the time comes, ......"
"When the time comes, business profits will never fall into the hands of outsiders again, I believe that Brother Liu knows this better than the younger brother!"
Clear!
In London, the lowest market price of a pound of Chinese silk is about 18p, and in recent years, because of the poor harvest of European raw silk in Europe, its market price is as high as about 2 pounds, and the price of reeling silk is higher, and what is the purchase price of foreign companies? A bag of raw silk is 100 pounds, and it is only 500 taels when it is high. This means that even if it is the most unsellable silk, foreign banks can make a profit of nearly 20% or more from the acquisition and export, and it is this kind of windfall profit that makes those foreign banks all regard the Huangpu River and the Pearl River as the Milky Way flowing with silver.
Oh, yes!
Why is it that foreigners can buy goods in China, but Chinese cannot sell their goods to Europe? Why do you have to let foreigners earn windfall profits?
Liu Yixuan, who was attracted by Zhu Yifeng's idea, immediately became thoughtful.
Don't want to be a comprador for life!
Over the years, Liu Yixuan has always had a hope in his heart that one day he could own a company of his own, at least become a shareholder of the company, but the foreign bank has never given him a chance, and there are indeed Chinese directors in the foreign bank, but their status is far inferior to that of foreign directors.
"So, I'm going to set up a company!"
Raising his head, Liu Yixuan looked at Zhu Yifeng in front of him, and he saw a strong confidence between the young man's eyebrows. At this moment, he seemed to understand, why Xi Zhimo only heard about it, so he looked at it highly, and had a great sense of acquaintance, in the final analysis, it is this courage, which is beyond the reach of others, in Shanghai, in Guangzhou, more than ten years of trade, who has ever thought of grabbing food in the bowl of foreigners? What everyone thinks about is nothing more than relying on being a comprador for foreigners to earn a little commission!
"A company specializing in foreign import and export business!"
Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Zhu Yifeng's face was overflowing with confidence.
"Why can we only let foreigners buy and export our Chinese things, and why do we Chinese have to buy things through foreign companies?" I want to set up a company to take back the export rights of our raw silk, tea, and porcelain, and sell our things directly to Europe and the United States, and let those foreign companies drink the northwest wind! In the future, there will be no more of them! ”
The confidence between the eyebrows and the ambition in the words made Liu Yixuan see a door to the future. A door that he never thought of had opened to him.
"Perhaps, this is the enemy of those foreigners, but isn't that how business is done? Competition is always inevitable, but in the past, it was a competition between foreign firms, and now there is another me! ……”
Listening to Zhu Yifeng's complaints, Liu Yixuan, who had never heard of direct exports, was stunned, and with Zhu Yifeng's explanation, he saw more and more business opportunities behind this, not just simple exports, while breaking the monopoly of foreign businessmen, he could also get more benefits.
“…… There are some things that always need someone to do, and now, I think about it, naturally I have to do it, and I want to do it......"
After a slight pause, looking at Liu Yixuan, who seemed to be moving in front of him, Zhu Yifeng's voice rose again.
"To do the best of nature, it is best to squeeze all those foreign companies out of our China! Why did our Chinese goods be monopolized by those foreign devils! ”
