Chapter 505: The God of Business
When I said the word, Wang Lili didn't laugh, but looked at me in surprise, and I asked puzzled, "What's wrong?" Wang Lili didn't answer, but the hesitation that flashed in her eyes didn't escape my eyes.
The old man didn't see Wang Lili's eyes, so he said to Wang Lili with a smile: "Girl, if you feel that your father changed so many rubles in the Soviet Union, and he is a capable person, then the person I want to talk about below is a god-like existence." ”
Although I knew what the old man was going to talk about next, my brain was obviously considering Wang Lili's hesitant look just now, so I didn't care.
So the old man continued: "There is such a boss in Sichuan, at the time of reform and opening up, he made the largest business with the Soviet Union.
The old brother heard on the train that the former Soviet Union was poor, so poor that he couldn't even eat, and there was nothing but heavy industry. This Sichuan businessman saw a business opportunity in this message, so he rushed to the Soviet Union and found that the place was really poor!
When the merchant returned, he felt he had to do something. It happened that many state-owned enterprises closed down and switched to the private economy. The collapsed factory had stockpiled a large number of unsellable goods, so the Sichuan businessman planned to exchange these hoarded goods for Soviet planes.
He then began to move between China and the Soviet Union, eventually exchanging his hoarded goods for several large Soviet airliners. Compared with this businessman, the ruble that my father exchanged for is really nothing. ”
I grew up listening to this story of the old man, so I can even memorize every word the old man said. For this reason, I looked up a lot of information about this incident during my university years, and I am glad that it was in Beijing, and it would have been very, very difficult to collect such comprehensive information in an ordinary city or an ordinary school at that time.
The reason why I want to talk about this Sichuan businessman is that I learned two things from him. First, an eclectic mindset or way of doing things. Take my use of baba against Shan seniors as an example, that is a routine that is not used by normal people, or I perfectly mix my personality with the third one, which is also the way I use.
The second is advancement. This is different from yujian, which is something that will happen in the future, and we know it in advance and use it. And the advancement, I personally think that it is, to be able to put forward something that others dare not think of, dare not do, and then implement and implement it yourself, as for whether it is successful or not, it is fate.
Older readers will know about this Sichuan businessman, his name is Mu Zhong, a businessman I personally admire very much. At the same time, it is also a tragic heroic figure.
His classic quotations were adopted by director Feng Xiaogang, and everyone is estimated to have seen them. In "Not Seen or Scattered", Ge You once said in the Chinese training class held by Xu Fan: "This is the Himalayas, this is China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and this is Nepal. The southern slope of the mountain range slowly stretches out to the Indian Ocean, under the influence of the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean, the climate of the Kingdom of Nepal is humid, the four seasons are like spring, and the northern foot of the mountain range is steeply dropped, snow all year round, and the middle of the deep continent is far away from the Pacific Ocean, so the natural climate is very harsh. If we blow up the Himalayas, there are too many, fifty kilometers wide, and the roof of shijie remains, and the warm breeze of the Indian Ocean is still there, just imagine, then our beautiful Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will not be counted after taking off the hat, and how many fish and rice fields will have to be conjured!" This is Mu Zhong's concept, how about it, genius!
As for the change of planes, the specific process is even more interesting: Mu Zhong met a Henan man on the train from Wanxian to Beijing, and from the mouth of this Henan person, Mu Zhong learned that the former Soviet Union, which was facing disintegration, was ready to sell a batch of Tu-154 aircraft, but it was difficult to find a buyer.
So, he suddenly felt that this was a big business worth taking a risk. At that time, the company he owned had neither foreign trade rights, nor aviation operation rights, nor enough cash, so it was impossible to trade in aircraft.
However, Mu Zhong decided to give it a try. He inquired about the news that Sichuan Airlines, which had just launched a year ago, was preparing to buy airplanes, so he went to negotiate with Sichuan Airlines, and Sichuan Airlines agreed to buy Soviet planes, and then Mu Zhong organized a large backlog of canned food, leather clothing, and other goods from local state-owned enterprises in Sichuan, and prepared to use them to barter to reach this deal with the former Soviet Union.
Lao Mu is very powerful, he completely grasped the minds of both sides of the transaction through the investigation of the market. In the treatment of those large backlogs of goods in China, he used the condition of helping manufacturers empty their inventories at one time so that state-owned factories could pay wages to their employees, and said (pronounced shui, four sounds) to serve a number of state-owned factories.
Subsequently, Mu Zhong chose to receive officials from the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. Before starting the negotiations, he "had the honor" to tell his guests that this was the place where Gorbachev (then the leader of the Soviet Union) had met with the Chinese leaders not long ago, and that the Soviet comrades, who had always obeyed the orders of their superiors, were of course immediately in awe.
Under the idea of Mu Zhongzhong's hollow glove white wolf, this "impossible business" actually became a reality. In mid-1991, Nande, which was operated by Mu Zhong, reached an agreement with Sichuan Airlines and the Soviet Union for 500 wagons of daily commodities in exchange for four Soviet-made Tu-154 aircraft.
Not to mention, after that, Mu Zhong cooperated with Russia's International Satellite Organization to launch a series of live television satellites on the Voyage to carry out space communications services to the United States and other Western countries.
I'll mention a few people, Pan Shiyi, Wang Gongquan, Feng Lun, these people used to be Mu Zhong's subordinates, how strong do you say this person's personality charm must be, and how capable he must be to have such subordinates?
If Alibaba's Ma Yun is a business wizard, then Mu Zhong is really a god-like existence in the business world, as my old man said. Moreover, when Mu Zhong stood at the top of the pyramid of the business world, Ma Yun was not even a coolie who moved bricks. It's just that Ma Yun is smarter and knows how to restrain his edge, so the final ending of the two people is different As for Lao Mou's deeds, readers have time to read Feng Lun's "Savage Growth", which has a detailed description in that book, so I won't say much about it here.
Just when the old man was about to tell some interesting stories about his stay in the Soviet Union, my mobile phone suddenly rang.
"Hey, hello, Jia Shu Wedding, what can I serve you?" Look at the little lady's style of answering the phone, it is definitely the same as the British housekeeper's "CanIhelpyou?" "It's the same thing.
"Huh?" There was a startled voice on the other side of the phone, and then the other party asked weakly: "I'm looking for Jia Shu, I'm the niece of the fourth aunt." ”
