"Zhiyuan, you said that now that our fan has been built, how can we promote it later? The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, that is the old drunkards can smell it, we are unknown and don't know the surname, take it out and sell it, I'm afraid it won't work." After dinner, Jiang Jiang Zuo saw that no one was paying attention, so he pulled Cheng Nuo to the shade of a tree and handed him a cigarette: "Do you want a foreign cigarette from the United States?"

"I won't, so I won't waste it." Cheng Nuo pushed the cigarette over and refused with a smile: "I have already prepared for the sale of this matter, and now I am only afraid of one thing."

I took back the cigarette and filled it into my mouth, and the matches were taken out, and I suddenly thought that the other party didn't smoke, and it was really not authentic to let the other party smoke second-hand smoke, so I put the cigarette case back and said curiously, "What are you afraid of?" Is it because you are afraid of after-sales problems, or is it a problem with other stores?"

Seeing the old friend's behavior, Cheng Nuo patted the other party's shoulder with great relief: "You can smoke it if you want, it's not indoors, I don't mind." What you said is not a problem in my opinion, but what I am afraid of is that the production will not be able to keep up with the sales, and the appetite of the people in Shanghai will not be satisfied."

Jiang Jiang Zuo put the cigarette back into his pocket and shook his head: "You just talk nonsense, anyway, bragging is not illegal, if you want me to say, hurry up and put some advertisements in newspapers such as "Declaration" as soon as possible, this little money should be paid, and I am reluctant to let the child trap the wolf."

"Don't worry, I've got it all in my heart." Cheng Nuo smiled, didn't continue to explain, beckoned and got up to leave: "It's better to smoke less, it's definitely not good for your body."

If we talk about journalism and communication, we are still in the period of babbling, which is not at all comparable to the group of demons in later generations, so that modern people who are bombarded by all kinds of media are unable to guard against it.

Considering that this is the first electric fan of the Chinese people, carrying a lot of hopes, it will enter the history textbook in the future, and some blind eyeballs are obviously not feasible, whether people in this era can accept it is one thing, and it is another thing to make future generations laugh at it in the history books.

One morning, Cheng Nuo called all the rickshaws that had been arranged in advance, took Yang Jichuan and Jiang Jiang Zuo, and walked out with two samples.

The destination is not very far from them, just at No. 255 Jiangxi Middle Road in Shanghai, a small five-story brick and wood building.

Jiang Jiang Zuo and Yang Jichuan got off the rickshaw with a fan in their arms, looking at the signboard of the building, their faces full of question marks.

"Zhiyuan, let's not come to the wrong place, this place doesn't look like we can go in to do electric fans, there are several foreigners in and out of the parking at this time, it seems that this foreign company should be mainly for foreigners." Jiang Jiang Zuo was puzzled.

As a person who has worked hard in Shanghai for many years, Yang Jichuan wants to understand more, which seems to be doubtful, and seems to be to solve doubts: "Lihe foreign business? This is the most famous German-owned foreign firm in the Far East, in the past, in order to climb this relationship, the threshold had to be broken, but now although it was acquired by the Chinese, it is still one of the largest commercial houses in Shanghai, buying and selling high-quality goods, we are definitely not here for fun."

Cheng Nuo paid the money for the ride, put away the purse and strode over: "Old Yang is right, this business house is not only large-scale, but also old-qualified, and the things he sells will definitely be on fire in Shanghai the next day, but since we are here, their foreign bank is not just for the Chinese, entering domestic goods, selling people, and completing the closed loop." ….

Speaking of Lihe foreign company is the year of the war into China, but the place selected at that time was Guangzhou, and then set foot in Hong Kong, after the business became bigger, found the potential of Shanghai, and set up the head office in the local area, don't look at the five-story building on paper, in fact, it was the largest building in all the foreign firms.

On the surface, it is just a large-scale foreign firm, but in fact, its shareholders are all large German enterprises, such as Krupp Steel Mill, Zeiss Optical Instrument Factory, Imek Chemical Company, etc., in addition to these, there are also Guteri Automobile Tires in the United States, Buffos Gun Factory in Sweden, Studney Oil Factory in the United Kingdom, etc., which are quite strong.

This guy not only runs the wharf, but also does shipping work, from ships and locomotives to pig bristles and straw hats. Of course, if you have enough chips in your hand, you can also do other business with him, such as Yan Xishan

When developing Shanxi's industry, the precision machines and technologies that manufacture heavy weapons such as cannons and machine guns were bought through it, and later Song Ziwen directly purchased a large number of German weapons here, and formed a tax police force of 30,000 people, which was thousands more than the German armor army of the Central Army at that time, and the strength was far exceeded, and a legend was achieved.

Traditional Chinese chess pays attention to taking one step and looking at three steps, and the electric fan that Cheng Nuo worked hard to make, of course, is not simply trying to take out some money from the people, but more as a lever to pry other major events, in addition to the development of AC motors mentioned earlier, which is convenient for civilian to military, there are other considerations.

Now I come to Lihe & Co., just to sell goods and at the same time, to establish a good relationship with the Germanic people behind him, and to explore the way for future "friendly" cooperation in advance.

"Professor Cheng has admired you for a long time, I haven't seen your news in the past six months, and I was still thinking about which compatriot had accumulated a lot of money, but I didn't expect to see a real person so young, it's really terrifying." Tian Huaxuan, the manager of Lihe Foreign Bank, had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw the main owner coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Where, my little bit of Taoism, compared with Manager Tian, who has a big family, is still not enough, don't kill me." The other party complimented each other with a smile, and Cheng Nuo also blew each other in business, and he wouldn't drop a piece of meat from his body anyway.

Everyone loves to hear good words, especially the praise of businessmen by cultural people, which greatly improved Tian Huaxuan's image of the young man in front of him, and his tone couldn't help but be more sincere: "That's not right, you do a little bit, it's all your own, I'm all working for others, to put it mildly, it's just to give people the door, people don't value me, they value the foreign company behind me."

Cheng Nuo took the fan over and greeted him with a smile: "The position of manager is not something that anyone can do if they want to, and it is also a talented person. No, our Huashang Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory has produced a domestic electric fan, and we specially brought it over to let you, a well-informed person, slap your hands and see what we are worse than foreign goods."

Such a big electric fan, as soon as Cheng Nuo and the three of them came in, Tian Huaxuan noticed this thing, just now he was still suspicious, the outline is similar to the American Qiqi brand electric fan, and he is still doubting whether it is an electric fan, and now when he hears the accurate news, the smile on his face is also sluggish, he glanced at Cheng Nuo, and quickly looked at the electric fan on the table, his face was incredulous: "This thing, it's really an electric fan, was it made up by you?" ….

As the manager of a huge foreign bank, Tian Huaxuan operates all kinds of hardware products, daily necessities, electric fans, don't look rare in the market, but in fact, he sells them in his own shopping mall, just now I didn't dare to confirm that it was just in the subconscious, it was hard to believe that such a high-tech thing was created by the Chinese themselves, and the shape was even better than the iron bump in the United States.

Cheng Nuo smiled and patted the fan lightly: "Seeing is believing and hearing is false, Manager Tian, there should be power supply in our mall."

Seeing this, Tian Huaxuan hurriedly beckoned his man and asked him to connect the power supply, and at the same time had a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, our foreign bank can also be counted in Shanghai, how many as we want."

In order to further show the excellence of his own products, seeing that the guy was about to turn on the switch when he turned on the power, Cheng Nuo suddenly said: "Manager Tian, I know that our foreign store must sell American goods, why don't we also take them out together, let's make a comparison, how about it?"

The reason why Tian Huaxuan came out to greet him was simply to get acquainted with this rising star in the academic world at first, and the relationship was connected, maybe they would use each other one day, but I didn't expect that the more I talked about it later, the more eye-catching it became.

These two fans that suddenly appeared, although they look strange and good-looking, but in terms of actual use, can they be compared to the sincerity is not optimistic, if it weren't for Cheng Nuo on the other side, he would have invited people out in a friendly way.

Tian Huaxuan stopped the guy and said with a smile: "Professor Cheng, there are such things as electric fans, the common people don't have a lot of tricks, they have developed so many years ahead of us, it is really difficult to have a chance of winning compared to them."

Cheng Nuo smiled with confidence: "Don't worry, our Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory doesn't have these three axes, how dare we show in front of you, an expert, if Manager Tian can afford us, let's move here."

Yang Jichuan gritted his teeth and echoed, "If it's Tianjing

I'm afraid that we will break something, so I'm willing to buy it directly in my personal capacity, and let's make a comparison on the spot, whether it's a mule or a horse that comes out to slip around, and you can see it at a glance."

Cheng Nuo glanced at Yang Jichuan, asked him to step back, and then stepped forward and said, "Manager Tian, let's tell you the truth, the three of us came over today to talk about the business of domestic electric fans, and if we don't compare foreign products, how can we show the excellence of our products."

Here, Cheng Nuo specially instructed that the fans manufactured by Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory are made of good materials, and all the materials are willing to pay off, and there are many old-fashioned fans in the previous life who can inherit the spirit of two generations, and the highlight is a heavy word, which will never deliberately reduce the service life in order to allow consumers to buy a second time, after all, in this era, the electric fan is the only household appliance in many families except for electric lights.

Tian Huaxuan originally wanted to continue to persuade, but seeing that the two of them were stubborn, he obviously couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to wave his hand to the guy and ask him to bring a brand new fan.

There was no more conversation between the people in the back, and the scene fell silent for a while.

After a while, the guy came over with a brand new American product, skillfully turned on the power, turned on the switch, and the two fans spun up quickly.

I don't know if I don't compare, I was shocked by a comparison, under the backdrop of domestic products, the strange brand electric fan is the same as Dongshi in Dongshi, the speed is much slower, the wind is smaller, the structure is simpler, and it is a complete failure in all directions. ….

In the end, even the manager had to admit that the products of the Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory were better than foreign goods.

Looking at this exquisite fan, Tian Huaxuan couldn't put it down: "Professor Cheng, Director Yang, how do you sell this fan, is it the same price as foreign goods, I think you have the strength to break your wrists, and it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher."

"No matter how high the price is, it can be as high as 300 oceans, and no one can afford it, even if it can afford it, I'm afraid I won't be willing to use it at home." Cheng Nuo shook his head with a smile, and said the offer that he had prepared in the morning: "We don't sell more, we don't sell less, we set it at 66 oceans, 66 Shun."

Don't look at the price is only one-third of the same kind of competing products in the United States, Yang Jichuan and his workers still have earning, the comprehensive cost adds up to less than 30 oceans, this is still the data before the output has not gone up, the cost has not come down, and after the output goes up, the production cost can be further compressed, and the time will earn more.

Of course, this is only a guide price, followed by the profit distribution and rebate of Lihe Foreign Bank, which is not what Cheng Nuo wants to manage, he understands the principle of grasping big things and delegating power in small things.

If you eat meat yourself, you have to leave a soup for others, right?

However, when it came to marketing issues later, Cheng Nuo was much more cautious, and directly came up with an idea, and asked Lihe Foreign Bank to follow suit.

The strategy is very simple, that is, to open the glass window on the first floor, put the fan of Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory, and put a set of numbers next to it, but unfortunately it is currently 0, turn on the power, and under the curious eyes of a group of customers, turn on the fan and blow it straight to the crowd.

Customers, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are unknown.

The good deed man poked his neck and said curiously: "Little master, is there an electric fan placed here, the style is so novel, we have never seen it, which country is this produced, with great fanfare, what are you doing in a foreign company?"

The guy smiled and didn't rush to answer, but finished the work at hand first, and flipped a 1 on that set of number cards.

Looking around, I saw more and more people coming around, and even outside the shop window, there were quite a few people standing on tiptoe trying to find something from here.

"Sir, this electric fan is not produced in other countries, but a serious domestic product, the quality is nothing to say, what a strange brand of surprise brand, you can't find anything at all when you are beaten, but this thing can't just listen to us, but also let you feel no, from today on, this electric fan has been on here until it can't rotate, let's see how long it can last." In the end, even the guy himself couldn't believe how long this gadget could last, and his tone was becoming more and more unconfident.

Hearing this, the crowd completely exploded, knowing that they were confident, they didn't expect to be so careful, and they were really not afraid

Did you stop it directly in a second, and it really became a joke after dinner at that time.

"This must be impossible, I bought two at home, two Oh, two American products, they were all too hot to stand after a while, so I stopped, and no matter how I got it later, I didn't stop enough for people to care, it's very hypocritical." A woman dressed in fancy clothes lifted her collar and shoulders up, pinched her orchid finger and pointed at the fan: "It's not that I don't support domestic products, I'm really not optimistic." ….

A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar stepped forward, took a closer look at his glasses, and said solemnly: "The body is so petite, but the wind power is bigger than that big guy, and it is not noisy or noisy, in my opinion, it is just like a person, it has taken banned drugs, and it will not live long at all."

At this time, there was a sudden "snap", a white light flashed from a corner, and then a beam of green smoke came out, and someone actually took a picture of the electric fan with a camera, and then the person who took the picture stepped forward and said: "Hello master, I am a reporter from the "News", I want to ask if this is really our domestic product, or buy foreign goods, paste our own brand, if it is really a domestic product, where is our advanced technology, how much does it cost to sell, why do you sell it at this price......

There were more and more people, and the scene fell into chaos for a while, and finally another person in charge stood up, and after several explanations, the crowd slowly dispersed, but most of them didn't believe it.

I've never heard of this name before, and suddenly I want to come up with a mature product, claiming to be ahead of others, and saying that I can directly wrestle with the industry boss, which is really difficult to trust.

This thing is like that, it's better to be controversial than unattended, and quality will speak later.

However, at present, the Watson electrical appliance manufacturing plant does not have enough goods, there is no way to directly distribute goods to the market, take this opportunity to let more citizens know its reputation in advance, and wait until the day of the purchase of the window, if the electric fan in the window is still running, the sales problem will naturally not be too worried.

Cheng Nuo didn't know what was happening downstairs, and he was in the secret room on the fifth floor, discussing other things with the Germans.

"Mr. Cheng, if it weren't for you, this room wouldn't have let people in at all." The curtains were halfway open, and only half of the sunlight shone in through the tulle, and the middle-aged man leaned back in his chair, his face half light and half dark, holding a goblet in his hand, and constantly shaking the wine in it.

Cheng Nuo was not frightened by this aura at all, the master did not invite him to sit down, so he did it himself, sat on the sofa opposite, and put his arms on the backrest: "So, Mr. August, this is quite a great honor for me?"

August shook the goblet and took a sip, "Perhaps, you can think so. Do you want to come a little, this is from my hometown of Moselle 'Riesling, I believe that the price of this glass of wine, many of you Chinese work for a year can not buy a glass."

Although he doesn't understand wine, but looking at the pretend/forced appearance, this may be true, Cheng Nuo smiled lightly: "How does it compare with French wineries?"

Auguste's forehead was raised, reflecting a strange luster, and his words were very disdainful: "In vain, just like their country, how can their quality be comparable to ours, if God were not so biased, the flag of Germain would have been planted in the Eiffel Tower long ago."

Cheng Nuo crossed Erlang's legs, moved his neck, and tilted his head: "It's a pity, you lost the Battle of Verdun, and God obviously prefers the Gauls more to cherish your bottle of what commander's bar, drink a sip less." ….

Auguste, still proudly holding his sparse head, drank the wine from the goblet: "Just them? It's hard to say who will kill the deer, even if the empire really fails, they won't be able to beat our own country, and the Gauls and the Anglo-Saxons have a century-old feud."

Cheng Nuo shook his head, it obviously didn't make much sense to continue arguing on this issue, he took his legs down and walked to the desk, pulled up a stool and sat down directly, and sprinkled the caramel prepared in his pocket: "This time it's not a mathematics professor who has come, but an ordinary businessman, Mr. August, is he in the mood to do another big business?"

For this seemingly abrupt line

Auguste didn't take it to heart, picked up a caramel with great interest, sniffed it in front of his nose, and secretly murderous in his calm tone: "Whoever steps through this door, everything can be traded, as long as the weight is enough, it doesn't matter what is on the other side of the scale, human life is the same, even if it is a trader."

Cheng Nuo scratched his head casually, frowning as if he was reminiscing, looking extremely cynical: "It seems that I forgot something, hey, I remember, didn't your German concession be recovered a few months ago, and the Tongji Medical Engineering School was also disbanded, it's a pity, did the weight become invalid at that time?"

The sun shone on Cheng Nuo through the screen window, and with the hairstyle that he had just scratched into a bird's nest, it looked extremely harmonious.

In the dark, Auguste's mood was obviously not as calm as it seemed, and the biting muscles on both sides of his mouth couldn't help but roll, shaking his head, peeling off a piece of caramel and putting it in his mouth, unable to guess what he was thinking.

Half a window separates sunlight and darkness, scoundrels and gentlemen, and the boundaries are clear.

He personally brought a new goblet, wiped it clean with a glass cloth, poured the dry white wine Riesling that had already been awakened in the decanter, and pushed it in front of Cheng Nuo.

Cheng Nuo smiled, quite "tasteless" generally, this wine is a cow drink, with the Adam's apple surging, two or three sips drank the wine in the cup, directly took the sleeve and wiped it on his mouth, and said arrogantly: "Good wine, worthy of being the commander of the wine."

Auguste Gujing Wubo, unable to see any other emotions, nodded, took out the folder from the cabinet behind him, took out a pen and paper and said calmly, "Mr. Cheng, let's talk about it, what business are we going to discuss?"

"Of course it's very good business." Cheng Nuo crossed his hands, propped on the table just the other party's eyes, but unfortunately from the light to the darkness, ushered in only more darkness, completely unable to perceive other information, smiled: "In this way, everyone is not familiar with it, first from what you are good at, I am ready to import some industrial equipment from your Germany, and by the way, export some finished industrial products."

One of the most taboo points in playing chess is to start the game first, there is no reason to come up directly on the big move, there must be a period of trial process, and the direct exposure of the hole cards is quite unfavorable for future development.

So here is just to buy a few pieces of industrial equipment to explore the depths of the water.

Don't look at the opposite side is just a foreign bank, in fact, it has opened branches in Hong Kong, Tianjin, Hamburg, Hankou, Wuchang, Qingdao, Kobe, New York, Jinan and other places, and at the same time in Germany, Britain, Austria, France, Italy and other European, American, Central Asian cities have agents or deputy agents, this kind of layout of the world's outlets is the most coveted by Cheng Nuo.

Nowadays, the Academy of Sciences is weak, and its reputation has not even gone out of East Asia, which is really not enough.

Although it is good to earn the ocean in China, but it is not as good as earning pounds and dollars, and if you want to buy things further in the future, a large amount of foreign exchange is indispensable, and the current bank Cheng Nuo really believes that it is better to get it around than to do it yourself.

In this way, the two reached a temporary cooperation, and the first things to be traded were steelmaking equipment and electric fans from Watson Electric Appliance Manufacturing Factory.

It's just that Cheng Nuo turned his head and went into the bathroom, looked up to the sky and opened a few mouthfuls, retched on his stomach, and then vomited on the toilet.

When he appears in front of everyone's eyes again, how can he still look cynical just now, and he can only be gentle and humble and gentle.

Stinging thunder
