"It's so fast to show the department store first! This store is no less than the one in the concession! ”
Situ Nan walked into the Sincere Department Store located in the city, looked at the dazzling array of goods, and whispered to Wang Yaqiao and Ma Yingbiao, the owner of the Sincere Department Store.
The Sincere Department Store is the second branch of the Sincere Department Store in Shanghai, 8 storeys high, built of reinforced concrete, one to four floors are used as department stores, and then up is the hotel, which can accommodate 5oo rooms, integrating shopping, accommodation and business, and is a rare commercial land king, echoing with the first branch of the public concession, showing the important position of Chinese capital in the department store industry.
"Boss Ma is well-managed, and he is the leader of Chinese businessmen."
Situ Nan praised.
"I'm ashamed, in front of Mr. Situ, I can't be a leader in the business world!"
Ma Yingbiao looks ordinary, but he has a spirit, hearing Situ Nan's praise, he was happy, and he didn't feel too proud, and he didn't forget to mention Wang Yaqiao next to him, "Speaking of which, I have a lot of support from Mayor Wang and the political axe for our Chinese businessmen, and helped Sincere Department Store block the malicious competition of many foreign businessmen." ”
"It should. We will not be able to control the concession for a while, but in the one-acre and three-third land of our Zhi Gong Party, the political axe must always show courage to protect national industry and commerce. ”
Wang Yaqiao said as a matter of course. Although business was not his specialty, he focused more on politics and intelligence, but he had a team of professionals behind him, and the Shanghai Chinese district flourished under his rule.
The group wandered through the various goods in a low-key manner, and the disguised security guards behind them carefully and nervously squeezed the other customers away, without affecting the business of the store.
Situ Nan kept a faint smile on his face, thinking to himself how long it had been since he had been shopping as freely as an ordinary person?
In fact, most of the customers who can walk into the department store are not poor, there are foreigners, more Chinese, most of them are neatly dressed, showing that they have a good living treatment.
"A dime? Interesting. ”
Situ Nan picked up a delicate toothbrush from the shelf, with a smooth wooden handle and a neat and tough mane, from which Situ Nan laboriously pulled out a bristle.
This toothbrush, well, is of good quality, Situ Nan secretly appreciates the good name of this toothbrush, and the most important thing is that it is a domestic product.
"Huh. This is a toothbrush produced in Guangdong, the quality is very good, the price is expensive, the price is one yuan, it is the most high-end toothbrush in China. His boss is known as the toothbrush king, and he has cooperated with our department store for many years, and he sold it to Shanghai with our first department store, and now it is sold all over the country. Of course, what is sold outside is more of ordinary grade, cheaper, and more suitable for ordinary people. ”
Ma Yongbiao answered with a smile.
The goods in the company, he is like a number of treasures, for Situ Nan to introduce the goods in the store, "in addition to a dime, the recent production of toothbrush brush products from Sichuan, the sales are also very strong, Guangdong manufacturers are bold to run to Sichuan to open a factory, we have been very concerned about the production and operation of suppliers, generally speaking, in addition to high-end electrical products, our department stores are more willing to choose to purchase goods from domestic powerful factories." ”
Ma Yongbiao added.
"To support domestic products, Sincere Department Store does play a very important role. I've been to Sichuan, where the bristle industry is really fast, but I didn't expect a product to be launched in Shanghai so soon. ”
Situ Nan nodded, smiled and sighed, and understood very well in his heart that as the leading department store controlled by the Meihua Consortium, Sincere Department Store from Guangdong to Shanghai naturally has a close relationship with many Chinese enterprises behind it.
"Huh. This is nothing, the most important thing in domestic products is textiles. The most impressive is the Dasheng Yarn Factory, we have tens of millions of orders from the Sincere Department Store every year to the Dasheng Yarn Factory, this is not, the front is the textile area, you see, cloth, towels, bed sheets, quilt covers, almost all of them are the products of the Dasheng Yarn Factory, and many other factories in Shanghai are purchasing yarn from the Dasheng Yarn Factory. ”
Ma Yingbiao mentioned the word Dasheng, and his tone was full of respect, but also envy that could not be concealed. His words reveal the close cooperation between Sincere Department Store and Dasheng, a national textile brand.
Situ Nan nodded, looked around the department store, and there were really a lot of customers buying textiles.
Compared with expensive electrical appliances, cheap textiles are more acceptable to ordinary citizens, the market is huge, not to be underestimated, at least, in the Sincere Department Store, Situ Nan can not see a piece of cotton cloth produced by a foreign-funded enterprise!
After walking a short circle in Sincere Department Store, Situ Nan had a more intuitive feeling of the all-round penetration of the Meihua Consortium in the national industry, and it was difficult for outsiders to show off the pride in his heart to others.
Of course, Ma Yingbiao, the department store giant in front of him, who is not amazing, is also an important participant, and his appearance is also very appreciative of Situ Nan.
"I took a hasty look, at least there have been more than 3o kinds of goods produced by factories here in Shanghai, which is a large proportion, Lao Wang, I see, in a few years, the Chinese District will catch up with the concession."
Situ Nan was not confused by the dazzling goods in front of him, nor was he as surprised as the Chinese who walked into the Sincere Department Store at the door, but he made quick calculations and had a more accurate estimate of the local industry in Shanghai.
Wang Yaqiao was surprised by Situ Nan's sensitivity to Shanghai's industry and commerce, and did not forget to nod and said, "Hmm." Although the concession is prosperous, after all, the place is small, and the industrial industry in our Hua District is developing rapidly, and the society is stable, so it is indeed not a delusion to attract more investors to invest in factories in the Hua District, and to catch up with and cross the concession. ”
Where does Wang Yaqiao's confidence come from, Situ Nan also understands that it is easy for Lao Wang to be a town in Shanghai, although he is not a politician who is good at exhibiting industry and commerce, but as long as he trusts those professionals who are close to the Meihua Company, he can "rule by hanging the arch".
In the textile area, Situ Nan also saw a piece of delicate silk, and couldn't help but reach out and caress it, and his fingertips came with a touch as soft as a girl's skin.
"This is the silk produced in Zhejiang, the best Nanxun silk, the agricultural cooperative of Nanhua Grain Bank recommended to us not long ago, it is said that the quality is not worse than the silk of the book, and the sales in Shanghai are OK."
Ma Yingbiao was about to speak to Situ Nan, when suddenly the bodyguard in front of him appeared and faintly protected Situ Nan and them.
Situ Nan looked up and saw that several people in kimonos were kicking him coming, and the two pieces of wood under their feet were very distinctive, making people see their identities at a glance.
Situ Nan shook his head slightly, signaling that the "customers" beside him don't need to be nervous, these people are not those wandering ronins on the street, on the contrary, their exquisite clothes, extraordinary bearing, and the shrewd atmosphere of businessmen faintly revealed.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a luxurious department store in Shanghai, and it doesn't have to be bad in Tokyo, how can it be a Chinese-run mall? It is more convincing to say that the British and Americans have such courage. ”
One of them shook his head, his tone mixed with contempt, envy, sigh, and a hint of greed.
"Damn, the products of the Great Empire are almost invisible here, and the Chinese really love their domestic products so much?"
Someone next to him scolded softly, and his tone was very angry.
"It's nothing, we can do what Chinese produces, it's just ...... Look at these silks, well, Nanxun's silk, it seems that the quality is not worse than our domestic silk, is China's silk industry will be the fierce rival of the silk industry? We're in trouble and need to bring these situations back to Tokyo. ”
The third said that he picked up a piece of silk from the shelf, frowned, and handed the silk to his companion. They discussed in whispers, and the atmosphere seemed a little oppressive.
"What did they say?" Wang Yaqiao asked an entourage beside him in a low voice, he couldn't understand the words, but it was not difficult to see a bad expression in his eyes.
"It's nothing, these people I guess are also people who care about business as much as I do, and when they go out, I guess they won't be in a good mood."
Situ Nan smiled, although the two sides were a little far away, he still understood the language.
"Boss Ma, are there many hooligans in Shanghai?"
Situ Nan asked Ma Yingbiao with a smile.
"Why not? When Xianshi first arrived in Shanghai, the Qing Gang, the Guangdong Gang, the ghosts, snakes, and gods all wanted to protect us. There are also many hooligans from foreigners. But it's much better now, and I have to thank Mayor Wang for that. ”
Ma Yingbiao smiled, looking at Wang Yaqiao with some eyebrows.
"Last year, a guy in that kind of clothes came to make trouble, and I was severely taught a lesson and sent to prison for a while. Don't say it's not a concession yet......"
Wang Yaqiao sneered, looking at the few people not far away, and said that he was very unkind.
"Last month, we built several forts at Wusongkou, authentic Krupp cannons, although they are German second-hand goods from World War I, are not small."
Wang Yaqiao leaned into Situ Nan's ear and added.
Although the Wuhan political axe was confiscated back to the Shanghai Concession, in the past few years, many military installations have been built in Shanghai, and the number of cannons at the mouth of the Yangtze River has gradually increased.
Once something happens, with the artillery battery blocking the mouth of the Huangpu River, the army deployed in Shanghai will be able to drive into the Public Concession and the French Concession!
However, in order to realize such ambitions, the Zhi Gong Party will have to wait a few more years, at least until the expansion of the arsenals in Hanyang and Maanshan is completed.
On the other side, he was obviously also an extraordinary member of Situ Nan and his party, and the eyes of the two sides looked at each other with undisguised vigilance, and there was a faint confrontation.
"Let's go! Let's go upstairs. ”
Situ Nan smiled slightly, seemed to nod to the person opposite, and left calmly, because there was still a banquet waiting for him upstairs.
"Ah, Boss Ma," finally a person recognized Ma Yingbiao, the big boss of the shopping mall, and was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but call out.
"Oh, it's Mr. Aota!" Ma Yingbiao was about to leave, stopped, turned around and smiled, and summoned a shopping mall manager, "You accompany Mr. Qingtian to ensure that customers can enjoy our services." ”
"Lost company."
Ma Yingbiao nodded, and did not mean to greet himself, and quickly caught up with Situ Nan and them.
Looking at his departing back, Qingtian's eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of something, and said to his companion beside him, "That middle-aged short man with glasses seems to be Wang Yaqiao?" Why is he here? ”
"Wang Yaqiao?" Someone asked.
"Mayor of Shanghai. It's very powerful in Wuhan, but it doesn't have a good attitude towards us. ”
Aota explained.
He had only seen Wang Yaqiao in photos not long after he came to Shanghai, but he was more familiar with Shanghai than these new compatriots in China.
As for the relationship between Sincere Department Store and Wuhan Political Axe, it is not a secret in Shanghai.
The only thing that made Qingtian and them puzzled was Situ Nan's identity, he was closely protected by bodyguards, and the business tycoon Ma Yingbiao and the political dignitary Wang Yaqiao were all respectful to him, obviously more important.
As soon as Situ Nan stepped into the elevator, Ma Yingbiao followed, "Qingtian is a trader, and has a close relationship with the Mitsui Consortium, he seems to cooperate with us to sell Yuben's products in Sincere Department Store, I ignored him." I didn't expect to be recognized by him today. ”
"Oh!"
Situ Nan replied lightly, and did not take Qingtian in his eyes, even if Sincere Department Store purchased goods from Yueben, it was also out of its own interests, of course, it would not be in-depth cooperation, and it would not affect Sincere Department Store's strategy of focusing on domestic products.
The elevator slowly went up, Situ Nan felt that the elevator was running smoothly and quietly in the elevator, and couldn't help but gently tap the smooth wall panel of the elevator with his fingers, and said to Wang Yaqiao with a smile: "Lao Ma's vision is good, and the elevator produced by Cummins in the United States is no worse than that of Germany." Cummins plans to open a motor factory in China, and if Shanghai Municipal Axe takes active action, it may be able to win the project. ”
Situ Nan has always been sensitive to all kinds of industrial products, and when he saw the Cummins logo on the elevator, he couldn't help but say more.
His words made Wang Yaqiao's spirit move, and he secretly paid attention to it, if it can attract a large foreign electrical company like Cummins to enter Shanghai, it will be of great benefit to Shanghai's industrial exhibition, which is an extraordinary political achievement.
In recent years, Shanghai's economy has developed rapidly, but compared with the grand construction of steel and railway industries in Wuhan, the momentum is more like.
Wang Yaqiao knew that the political axe was out of security considerations, and did not invest in heavy industry in Shanghai, but used more resources in Central China, and even invested more resources in Nanjing and Ma'anshan than in Shanghai.
Understanding is understanding, who doesn't want their city to be more brilliant?
"Hearing Mr. Situ say this, I can't let go of such a good opportunity, Lao Wang. Of course, it would have been better if Mr. Situ Nan had helped us with a few nice words about the Shanghai Municipal Government. ”
Wang Yaqiao said with a smile, and glanced at Situ Nan with some expectation, Wang Yaqiao has not yet figured out the huge overseas relationship of Situ Nan, a big man, it is certain that Situ Nan said this, and the grasp must be very large, and it will indeed bring a rare opportunity to Shanghai.
"Huh." Situ Nan smiled, noncommittal, and said in his heart: I can't say that Cummins has long been red when it sees that Bethlehem and the Meihua consortium are cooperating in large-scale investment in steel and railways, and it is in full swing, right?
In fact, both Situ Nan and Xu Zhouyang, the founder of Cummins, have the determination to invest heavily in industrial projects such as electrical appliances, mechanical power, automobiles and aircraft in China, and have achieved partial success in South China.
Behind this is related to a series of huge projects, only a few people can know, Situ Nan, Xu Zhouyang and the senior management of the US-China consortium have already reached a consensus, but Wang Yaqiao and others do not know.
If Situ Nan didn't say it, even a figure like Wang Yaqiao, the mayor of Shanghai, could only see the tip of the iceberg of his energy.
"Cummins? That's amazing, many of the electrical appliances in the shopping mall downstairs are from the American Cummins Electric Company, I heard that they also build airplanes? ”
Ma Yingbiao suddenly said, glanced at Situ Nan with some curiosity, and thought to himself, Situ Nan should not be a mouthful, if Cummins wants to invest in Shanghai, how can I get involved?
"Lao Ma is a man with a heart! Also know about Cummins aircraft? Situ Nan asked with a smile.
"What's this? Didn't Meihua open an airline? The planes from Shanghai to Wuhan and Guangzhou were purchased from Cummins, and the Ta Kung Pao in Shanghai was published, and many people were curious about taking the plane, and I also sat for a while, and the plane was indeed very fast when I flew from Guangzhou to Shanghai. It's just that for some reason, Cummins Inc. doesn't seem to be willing to hype it up. ”
Ma Yingbiao said a little excitedly, I really can't see that this guy is quite pursuing new things, in contrast, the traditional Chinese rich have a more conservative attitude towards airplanes.
Situ Nan didn't explain anything, and with a ding, the elevator door opened, and he returned to the guest room that had been prepared.
"You walked around down there and came back empty-handed?" When He Xiangu saw Situ Nan coming back, she greeted her in a gorgeous cheongsam, and warmly greeted Wang Yaqiao and Ma Yingbiao to drink tea.
"The owner of the old horse is here, what am I going to buy, can he not send it obediently?"
Situ Nan replied to He Xiangu with a smile.
"That's right, we still live in Mr. Ma's guest room." He Xiangu said, sitting next to Situ Nan prettyly, she is such a warm, polite and beautiful woman, she can naturally win the appreciation of men.
"Madame is polite, I can only describe a distinguished guest like you as fluffy and shining, and it's too late to welcome you."
Ma Yingbiao smiled enthusiastically.
"Alright, I'm going down for a walk." He Xiangu knew that Situ Nan and they had something to discuss, so after a couple of sentences, they went down.
"Women have a natural passion for shopping!" Situ Nan looked at the back of He Xiangu leaving, and smiled, in fact, there was no need to avoid his own woman in the things that Situ Nan wanted to discuss, but after giving birth to a child, He Xiangu's enthusiasm for outside affairs was fully reduced.
"I have something to do with Cummins, so I'll tell you a little bit about it today! lest you both keep it in your hearts. ”
Situ Nan smiled slightly, and soon his words made Wang Yaqiao and them fall into excitement......
It wasn't until Wang Chen came in that he told Situ Nan that the banquet of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce was about to start in the evening. (To be continued.)
