Chapter 309: Beginning to cooperate with Inspector Lu
A serious businessman, in fact, he doesn't need to deal with both black and white in Xiangjiang, he can do business honestly. It is good for the underworld to ask for protection fees, and it is good for the white road to ask for tea and filial piety fees. In fact, there are not many, both black and white talk about rules and morality.
Both black and white are seeking money, if the environment is so bad that ordinary people are extorted when they make money doing business, then there will not be so many factories in Xiangjiang.
The products operated by Luo Cheng are legitimate businesses, which can be operated casually in Xiangjiang with great fanfare, and they are not afraid of investigation. This kind of business can be put on the table.
Inspector Lu and Zeng Qirong sat in the business car sent by Luo Cheng, he has a high-end car, but he has to admit that this business car is really good. If Luo Cheng wants to do business in Kowloon or something, he will give Zeng Qirong the van and this business car, and if something happens on the ground, he can come forward to say hello.
But Luo Cheng wants to cooperate with them, and the filial piety fee given to Zeng Qirong alone is not low, although he didn't say anything about Inspector Lu, he must have thought of a lot.
Not to mention that Luo Cheng is doing righteous business, even if he is playing black, Inspector Lu will consider it, but if it is black, he will not participate in cooperation, as long as the filial piety is enough.
For the gift given by Luo Cheng, Inspector Lu really thinks it's good, but he doesn't know, he runs a serious business, and if he needs to do something, he doesn't need to spend money like this at all. If people engage in gray business, it is impossible to give too much share. So I feel that Luo Cheng's purpose is not so simple.
Therefore, Inspector Lu asked Zeng Qirong to tell Luo Cheng that he liked the gift very much, and invited him to come here for a cup of tea and get to know him and talk about it.
Zeng Qirong knew that the matter of cooperating with Luo Cheng was basically completed, and Luo Cheng would cooperate with Inspector Lu in the future. Although he has a good relationship with Inspector Lu, he will be polite to Luo Cheng in the future.
And Luo Cheng's current manpower and factories are in Wan Chai District, so we have to wait for Luo Cheng to finish talking to Inspector Lui and then see how to treat Inspector Zhou. If the profit is big enough, it doesn't mean how to deal with Inspector Zhou, Inspector Zhou has been operating recently and wants to go further. If Inspector Lu is really 'happy' to cooperate with Luo Cheng, he will not mind helping Inspector Zhou at that time and let him be promoted to Chief Inspector, but he will have to be transferred to other places.
Recently, after Luo Cheng came to Xiangjiang, he didn't have to do anything except enjoy life. I also developed a bad habit of walking birds. This made Gao Ru a little unaccustomed to it, they came to Xiangjiang, as if they didn't do anything, Luo Chengcheng asked her to wait.
And the factory in Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng is not like in China, when he used to be the factory director, he went to work every day to manage. In Xiangjiang, outsiders call Luo Cheng either Mr. or boss.
For people from China, it is true that the word boss is relatively unfamiliar, even if it is a personal business in the past, it is also the shopkeeper. There is no such thing as a boss in China.
In fact, the word boss comes from BOSS. And BOSS is not only the meaning of the boss, but also the meaning of the boss. In the current Xiangjiang, if you see a senior British police officer in the police station, as long as the position is higher than you, you can call the boss. And the Chinese, I feel that the word boss is more appropriate. But some people are not used to hearing it, which is called for Mr. or some of the gentle.
Luo Cheng told Gao Ru that in China it is socialism, and the working class, even if he is the factory director, must lead by example. Every day, like a worker, you have to go to work and be responsible for some work.
But in Xiangjiang, it is different, Xiangjiang is capitalism. Everyone in the factory is making money for him, and he can hire a manager to manage it, and the manager is the position of the factory director in China, but on the Xiangjiang side, the large factory managers are called managers.
Gao Ru doesn't need her to do anything here now, just let her adapt to the life and environment here, and when he opens up overseas export routes, she will be responsible for export matters, it is best to learn English, and if not, she has to hire a translator for her. In Xiangjiang, translation is not expensive, because it was colonized by the British, and the older generation of people in Xiangjiang do not know much English, but in Xiangjiang, if they can speak English, they can find good jobs in some departments.
Therefore, there are still many people who can speak English here in Xiangjiang, and it is not expensive to find a professional translator. However, the inexpensive here refers to the wealthy, in fact, even if it is an ordinary translator now, the level is okay, and it costs a few hundred yuan a month. A good translator, if you still have a good education, the price is still expensive, but the basic good ones are five or six hundred.
Such a wage is already a salary that ordinary domestic workers cannot earn in a year. This is also the reason why many international students don't want to go back when they come out, they can study abroad, their ability is basically not bad, they can speak English, even if they are in a place where there are Chinese, being a translator is better than going back to China to be a professor.
Luo Cheng gave Gao Ru a salary of 800 directly on the Xiangjiang side, she is considered her own person, and she can't calculate the salary just by ability. And a good translator is five or six hundred, and the salary of the person who can't help her translate is still higher than her. However, five or six hundred translators must be able to understand some relevant terms in order to get this salary, but they can communicate in English, at most three or four hundred.
She took eight hundred, and in order to assist her in her work, the interpreter she asked for was five or six hundred. Luo Cheng also said that in the future, she will definitely have to be equipped with a driver here, and the driver's salary is also two or three times that of China, more than 200 a month.
In order to reduce expenses, Gao Ru has been really trying to learn English recently, and Luo Cheng has also hired someone to be her English teacher.
In fact, whoever comes to Xiangjiang or goes to the country of little devils, the mentality will change. The people of the rabbit country are hardworking and not stupider than others. If you talk about patriotism and dedication, most people have it, and if the treatment is only a little different, many people will accept it. There are even some people who selflessly contribute to the country with an income that is ten times less than that of foreign countries.
But the problem is that your sacrifice is taken for granted by some people, and as a member of the rabbit country, they think that you should have such an awareness. Therefore, he is obviously very capable, and he has to rank seniority with a group of poor people. Even if you don't know how to handle relationships, you won't be able to get ahead.
And the real talent is originally to concentrate on their own work, how can they think about who to please and who to stand with.
Therefore, some people say that the hearts of people who have been born in the country are wild, and it is indeed like this, you and I are mortals, and the economic and material temptations are not so easy to resist, and they are not illegal. So for the thing that can earn 800 a month, Gao Ru also accepts this fact, of course, according to the exchange rate, it is actually about 6500.
She is a college student, and if she works in China, even if she makes progress, she will earn so much in a year. But this is Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng told her that those coolies on the dock are not stupid, but they don't dare, and they like to make solid money. But if you look at those who squat on the docks at night to sell food, any random guests will have to work as coolies for a few days. An ordinary couple can run a stall with a little craftsmanship, and they can earn more than 200.
A rickshaw puller, as long as his mind is not bad, often squats in hotels, dance halls, cinemas and other places. As long as you spend some money to get a rickshaw, you can earn hundreds of yuan a month.
And you Gao Ru is a college student, why can't you get a higher salary. You must know that the job here is not an iron rice bowl, and a farmer from China can earn dozens of yuan. As for the technical workers from China, one or two hundred is also very simple, and college students are reserve cadres in China, which is not bad.
After Luo Cheng explained the wage hierarchy to Gao Ru, he made her understand that a capitalist society is not a fair society, but a society that has the ability and brains to directly reflect the value, of course, black-hearted capitalists are different.
It's been a week since I had morning tea with Zeng Qirong last time. Zeng Qirong personally found Luo Cheng, and this time he was invited to eat at a restaurant in Kowloon, not a teahouse. The restaurant is a place to eat dinner, and the cost is also large, but at the level of Luo Cheng and Inspector Lu, the cost of eating and drinking is nothing at all.
Talking about cooperation with Inspector Lu in the restaurant, the content of cooperation with Inspector Zhou is different, mainly to talk about the suitability of cooperation with Inspector Zhou, and Luo Cheng does not fully understand the situation and environment on this side of Xiangjiang. And Inspector Lu, but the prototype in Boss Liu's movie, Luo Cheng still understands his situation.
Inspector Lu has been on the Xiangjiang side for ten years, and ten years later he went to Taiwan Island. And many of his properties in Xiangjiang that have not been transferred have been seized, and Luo Cheng cannot let him participate in his own operation as a company collaborator. Because of this, he will be investigated in the future, even if Luo Cheng is doing serious business, he will not be able to escape the relationship.
Luo Cheng won't have anything to do, but he is afraid that the company he runs will be implicated. Buru guarded against this from the beginning, even if a 'touch you' gave him a commission of 2,000, it was better than taking only 7,000 himself and not caring about anything like Inspector Zhou.
If it is a commission, Inspector Lu will take 2,000, and Director Zeng will get 500. A 'touch you' will sell for more than 10,000 yuan, and it seems that Luo Cheng has more than 500 yuan, but if you cooperate in the commission mode, there are some extra points to Luo Cheng, and the cost of taking it out may be more than 500. But this saves trouble, and the sales commission is recorded, and it will be liquidated in the future, which is also a normal way of doing business.
And this money, like the black money collected by Inspector Lu, will be handed over to Director Zeng when the time comes, which is equivalent to giving them 2,500 per car. The van is one that gives them 7,000, a refrigerator and air conditioner or something, and a few hundred each, anyway, they all negotiated a commission.
However, if it weren't for Luo Cheng bringing the assembly to Xiangjiang and reducing the profits in the industrial zone, they would have earned more than Luo Cheng. This naturally has Luo Cheng's purpose, that is, the premise of cooperation is to hope that Inspector Lu will come forward and help him contact some powerful overseas business companies in Xiangjiang.
Here you can sell 'touch you' at a very cheap price, which is probably one more transportation cost than selling it to the little devil. But the money Luo Cheng promised to sell could also buy various items, cloth, grain, soybeans, milk powder, and so on through their company. Even steel can be used to resist payments.
In this way, these traders may not earn much on vehicles, but on Luo Cheng's side of the payment, the purchase of a batch of materials and then earn the difference, back and forth is more. For example, a vehicle has to pay Luo Cheng more than 6,000 for goods, but if you give materials, as long as you find a suitable supplier, you can earn a sum of more than 6,000 payments. At most, it is enough to give Luo Cheng about 5,000 materials.
As for the goods sold overseas, Inspector Lu can no longer take money, because selling overseas is equivalent to wholesale prices, and if Inspector Lu sells overseas, he can't afford to sell them at a high price, which is impossible to give him a profit. asked Inspector Lu to do this, and also told him that the source of his goods was all domestic and smuggling, and people couldn't use Hong Kong dollars if they asked for it. If there is no payment for the goods, they will have no source of goods.
So this is a prerequisite for cooperation, but also a necessary condition. Xiangjiang is just a big island, it does not produce any materials by itself, if a person leaves the port, it is not allowed to bring more than 15 catties of grain, but as long as you have formal procedures, you can leave the port with 15 catties of gold.
Regarding Luo Cheng's request, Inspector Lu thought about it, and he could indeed help in this matter. But that is, the introduction, this export business, he can't interfere.
Simply, let Luo Cheng slow down first, Luo Cheng doesn't have many goods on the Xiangjiang side now. And since the commission he gave is so high, it is better to help Inspector Zhou, let him be promoted to Chief Inspector, and be transferred out of Wan Chai District. As for Luo Cheng's cooperation with him, Inspector Lu will also send someone to say hello.
The greeting was to let Inspector Zhou understand that he was promoted to inspector because of Inspector Lu's contribution, don't be transferred to other regions, and go to Luo Cheng to go to his new place to develop. Luo Cheng gave up such a big profit, his ambition was not on Xiangjiang's side at all, and Inspector Zhou couldn't hold it at all.
At the end of October, Inspector Zhou was promoted to Chief Inspector and transferred to other places. When he left, he didn't even say hello to Luo Cheng, and there were some things that saved the embarrassment of the two when they met again.
Then the new inspector in Wan Chai District was on Inspector Lui's side, but even so, Luo Cheng still found a good piece of land in Kowloon District and arranged for people to build villa-type houses.
In mid-November, Inspector Lui held a banquet at a restaurant in Kowloon District, one of which was to promote local vehicles in Hong Kong. The other is to invite a lot of businessmen who do overseas trade, both formal and informal. Irregular roads are also engaged in the arms business, and drugs are also involved. These people may not be able to go directly to some countries, but if the price is cheap, they smuggle some vehicles to sell, and sell them to some people who do gray business, and if there is a demand, they will buy it at a higher price than the retail price.
Even Lame Hao was invited by Inspector Lu, this guy is rich and likes to talk about pomp. And Lame Hao took a fancy to the business car that Luo Cheng gave to Inspector Lu, and asked if he still had it, get him one, and buy ten more vans. Of course, ten vans were bought for his subordinates, and he hadn't been generous enough to spend two or three hundred thousand yuan to send his subordinates at once. When the time comes, directly assign some small heads to pay for it.
Not only all kinds of factories, but also many gray businessmen who are yellow ~~ gambling ~~ poison have been invited by Inspector Lu.
The person who was invited, you may not be able to remember if you buy a car, but if you don't buy it, you will not give face, and Inspector Lu will not be so angry as to deliberately trouble the other party for this matter. But if something happens to the other party in Xiangjiang in the future, he doesn't mind falling into the well by the way.
At the banquet, Luo Cheng also took Gao Ru to participate, and people from all walks of life could get to know him, his future assistant cousin. asked Gao Ru to toast Inspector Lu with a glass of wine, and Inspector Lu also gave face, and he did it in one sip, this attitude, everyone also knows not to offend this girl easily in the future.
Almost all of the people who can be invited by Inspector Lu are people with net worth, so after the banquet, many people went to Director Zeng. Luo Cheng said that he would deal with it unless he took the initiative to buy a car. Even if it is handled, there is also a traffic police department in Xiangjiang, which can be registered for statistics, as long as it is counted on the license, Inspector Lu will be given a commission, anyway, it is the entire Xiangjiang, no matter how Luo Cheng sells the car in the future, he will be given a commission.
And the little devil also has a vehicle sold in Xiangjiang, but he can check the origin in the car, it is not his Luo Cheng's car, he doesn't recognize it. As for the opening in Xiangjiang without a card, it doesn't matter about Luo Cheng's business, just check it directly.
As for refrigerators and air conditioners, it is not possible to register. Luo Chengcheng asked Inspector Lu to arrange stalls for him in various areas of Xiangjiang, and asked him to send accounting personnel to supervise him. The market of three million people in Xiangjiang, Luo Cheng really hasn't taken it seriously. In the 70s, the entire market in Xiangjiang rose, and the per capita salary was 700. Ordinary people can buy refrigerators and air conditioners after a few months of work, and at that time, even in the market of millions of people, the purchasing power was terrifying.
But Luo Cheng knew that as long as Boss Liu's movies were not too artistic, Inspector Lu fled to Taiwan Island when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established. At that time, the market in Xiangjiang could be operated formally, and let Luo Cheng develop in Xiangjiang for ten years, if he didn't have the ability to protect himself after Inspector Lu left, it would be better to honestly wait for the domestic reform and opening up to return to China to live a stable life.
