Chu Xiangqian was indeed as the Second Elder and Old Man Tang had guessed, as long as he was allowed to enter the island market, he would definitely make trouble.

And he can be said to be very confident.

In addition to his first-class ability to do things on his own, he is also backed by the Celestial Empire, and he can do a lot of things.

Once the Celestial Empire is desperate not to make money, the export of no goods in order to earn foreign exchange, only need to maintain not to lose money, the Celestial Empire is really capable of reducing the price of low-grade handicrafts and primary industrial products to the extent that island countries, Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian countries have no money to make.

It's a pity that in this era, the international division of labor is not clear, and the idea of protection is prevalent in various countries, and many things are not sold to other countries if you want to.

Of course, the Celestial Empire is actually practicing self-protection, otherwise, it will definitely become a dumping ground for European and American industrial products.

However, if you can open up relations and want to enter the island country, the market in South Korea is not as difficult as you think, and the profits are still very high.

For example, Chu Xiangqian only built a factory on Hong Kong Island, and the Buddhist shrines produced could easily enter the island market.

And after a few months of trade, the net profit can reach about 50%, which is already considered a huge profit.

Some custom Buddhist shrines made of high-grade wood can even be three to ten times more profitable.

Moreover, the wood that Chu Xiangqian took out actually had no cost, and for him, the profit was higher.

You only need to give ten masters, plus the apprentice salaries of 90 masters, and the rest is basically pure earning.

So if anyone competes with him for price, Chu Xiangqian can reduce the price by 80% to 90% without losing money.

If he really did this, the entire woodcarving industry would be completely wiped out by him.

If it weren't for the wood factories on Hong Kong Island, the production capacity could not keep up, Chu Xiangqian only took the initiative to reduce the price by 15%, and within two or three years, many wood factories in Xiaori would be able to go bankrupt.

Now since the production capacity can't keep up, let's make a fortune first.

Moreover, the island people are not stupid, it is impossible to really let Chu Xiangqian occupy his entire wood carving market.

But even so, it will still make some small factories and small family workshop-style enterprises unable to get orders, and then slowly disappear.

However, the government of the island country has noticed this, and it may be three or five years from now.

Even if you know, you won't care.

Many of these small workshops and small factories do not pay taxes, and some officials in the island country may wish that these small workshops and small factories would go bankrupt.

Then concentrate the limited resources in the hands of big enterprises, big factories.

First, it collects more correct taxes, and secondly, it is more efficient and more competitive.

To a certain extent, that's not wrong.

Chu Xiangqian just used the name of Kumiko, and then through the agency company, he easily established an import and export company in the island country.

Then in Barbara County, a foreign trade company was registered to hold the island company.

At the same time, it also retained a part of the shares, and even managed the right to the import and export companies of the island countries.

In this way, no one will find out where the imported products are made.

When purchasing wood and bamboo products, the two import and export companies in the island country and Santa Barbara County will increase the price by 5% according to the cost of production.

For goods equal to one million, both companies only earn 50,000, and the tax they need to pay will be very small.

And the company that took most of the profits is on Hong Kong Island, and the business tax here is basically none.

Not to mention that you can also use an offshore company to control the import and export company on Hong Kong Island.

It is equivalent to all the links up and down, and the profits of each company are only maintained at around 5%.

Another payment of labor wages, the various expenses of the factory and the leather bag company, maybe the latter companies are losing money on the books.

But the real profits are all taken away by the offshore company.

At the same time, the company that gave birth to Barbara on Hong Kong Island, the island country and the magnesium country can also use the company to obtain subsidies and tax rebates from the island country and the magnesium country at a loss.

It is equivalent to making money from the people of the island country on the one hand, and forcing the wood company of the island country to go bankrupt little by little, and finally making another profit from the government of the island country.

When this model was handed over to Ehime to do, the little girl called Chu Xiangqian a worship.

But Chu Xiangqian did not forget to explain Ehime, this mode must be kept secret.

It can be said that this gameplay alone is worth a thousand dollars.

It is easy to make a multinational company's annual profit skyrocket by at least three or five percent, or even several times.

This game was invented in the 80s by an Irish company.

Then, in the past ten or twenty years, Ireland has gradually become the preferred place of registration for most multinational companies in the world to set up branches or secretly control sales companies because of tax revenue, and even many business taxes at all.

After the matter of expanding the purchase of bamboo products in the forest farm was completed, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, and soon chose to increase the number of watches ordered among bicycles, watches, radios and sewing machines.

After the offshore company and the import and export companies of magnesium countries and island countries were established, they found a domestic OEM to produce 10,000 all-steel watches in the name of the offshore company.

Even in order to sell it smoothly, Chu Xiangqian also took the first step to let the accounting team of Coopers advertise in Kyoto and Daban.

The content is just to find two white-skinned handsome men and women, and shoot advertisements with watches, which actually makes many people in the island country mistakenly think that this brand called "Bald Sea Eagle" is the company of Magnesium Country.

It easily attracted the attention of many salaried people, and in the face of the unit price of $240, the reaction of the island people was the same as Chu Xiangqian expected.

Newspapers and islanders scolded the company for being crazy, but the actual sales were only a specialty store that sold more than 1,000 watches in ten days.

In other words, many island people sell and sell, but they are very honest in their hearts and want to buy the goods of magnesium people.

This is actually similar to the eighties and nineties of the Celestial Empire.

There are always some people who don't care whether it's true or not, and always think that everything in a foreign country is good.

In those days, there were companies in the magnesium country and the island country that did it, found the Celestial Empire factory to OEM production, and then sold it to the Celestial Empire people at ten times or dozens of times the price.

It is equivalent to doing nothing, just OEM, and earning most of the profits of the upstream and downstream.

And even 20 years later, luxury goods in Europe and the United States still use this method to fool the Chinese people.

Fortunately, in the era of highly developed Internet, ordinary people are not so easy to fool.

——

Time back to a week ago, Chu Xiangqian returned to the Qianmen courtyard, a large family sat at two tables, the master, the lady and others looked aside, a table of half of the size of the child and Aiqiu, the little doll, ate half a bowl of rice.

And Silly Zhu makes this kind of home-cooked food, and the craftsmanship really has nothing to say.

At least Chu Xiangqian felt that in terms of craftsmanship, he was no worse than the backbone cooks.

Now let Silly Zhu take the kitchen to Hong Kong Island to open a restaurant, not to mention more, it is really not difficult to earn three or five thousand a year.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian doesn't lack cooks, but thinks that it is the best choice to let Silly Zhu stay in the capital and cook for the master and his wife.

And because Silly Zhu has never seen the prosperity outside, he is also very satisfied with the current situation.

The salary of the rolling mill is 28.5 per month, and he cooks a dinner for Chu Xiangqian's master, his wife, and his uncle, which is 30 yuan a month.

The combined salary is comparable to that of a chef in the Beijing Hotel.

Of course, compared to first-class and special chefs, it still can't be compared.

can be at the level of a rolling mill, even if Silly Zhu's cooking skills are promoted to level four, it will probably be this salary.

I can eat with me in the Qianmen courtyard every night, not only saving rations, but also not lacking meat at every meal, which is better than the leaders of the rolling mill.

There's really no reason for Silly Zhu to be dissatisfied.

After eating, I was smoking a cigarette, letting the country and the people clean up the leftovers and wash the dishes.

At first, he fantasized about Yushui marrying Chu Xiangqian, but when he saw Xue Jinglan and Gangsheng surrounding Chu Xiangqian, he could faintly see that these two girls were Chu Xiangqian's women, and Silly Zhu could only shake his head regretfully, knowing that he had misunderstood the meaning of the second aunt.

But if you think about patriotism, you can endure hardships, and your enthusiasm for learning cooking skills is also quite high, if the rain marries him, it seems that it is not bad if you think about it carefully.

No, where is it not bad, but it is definitely going to be able to live a good life.

Not only does he not worry about eating and drinking, Chu Xiangqian, who is the eldest brother, will 100% find a good job for his younger siblings.

And with Chu Qianqian's ability, let alone rolling mills and textile mills, even if he wants to enter the supply and marketing cooperative, even in the streets and districts.

After all, Chu Xiangqian transferred his sister-in-law Ehime to the Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and when Ehime was transferred out of the capital and went to work elsewhere, Chu Xiangqian took the relationship again and let his second aunt take Ehime's class.

That's not something that ordinary relationships can do.

So finding a job for Yushui, for Chu Xiangqian, it is really not difficult at all.

It's just that if Yushui marries into the Chu family, it will be more difficult if he wants to marry Ehime.

It's a good thing to be close to each other, but marrying each other's girls to the men in their respective families is always a bit of swapping daughters to be each other's daughters-in-law, which is tantamount to the suspicion of selling daughters.

Silly Zhu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the second aunt in a whisper, how is Ehime doing lately?

The second aunt was embarrassed when she heard this, although she didn't know what Ehime and Chu Xiangqian were doing on Hong Kong Island, but the second aunt could still see that the brother and sister were no longer the two silly boys and girls in the forest farm.

During the Chinese New Year last year, it can be seen from the way Ehime speaks that the little girl has become more confident.

Needless to say, it must be a successful career.

And look at the high-end coat on Ehime's body, and the ruby necklace given by Xue Jinglan, who was given by her sister-in-law.

The diamond earrings sent by the Hong Kong students on the ears, as well as the wrists, I heard that it was a jade bracelet given by another sister-in-law, and I knew that the eldest girl of the Chu family was no longer what it used to be.

Not to mention stupid pillars, even if it is the best marriage partner that the second aunt thinks, the son of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, he can't get into Chu Xiangqian's eyes.

And in the second aunt's heart, Ehime's marriage all depends on the meaning of Chu Xiangqian, the eldest brother.

Besides, before Ehime went to Hong Kong Island, she didn't look down on the stupid pillar, and now she can't look down on it.

Seeing the second aunt hesitating, Silly Zhu quickly guessed that she didn't want to hit herself.

Sighed secretly, fortunately, Ehime was not interesting to him before, so although Silly Zhu was unwilling, it was not sad.

On the contrary, he thought about it, thinking that he couldn't marry a girl from the Chu family, so it was also a good thing to marry his sister into the Chu family to enjoy happiness.

At the same time, it is worthy of his father and his deceased mother.

"Okay, as long as the rain nods on its own, I, the big brother, don't have any opinion. It's just that if patriotism is not good for the rain in the future, then I, who will be the eldest brother, will really smoke patriotism. ”

The second aunt has no opinion on this, she herself is the daughter-in-law who married into the Chu family, even if she is a patriotic mother, but in terms of hurting her daughter-in-law, her position is the same as that of rain.

"Okay, if you are patriotic and ignorant, not only will I smoke him as a mother, but I will also find his eldest brother to repair this kid."

When Silly Zhu heard Chu Xiangqian, he couldn't help laughing.

It can be said that what the Chu family is doing now is basically Chu Xiangqian's final say.

Looking at Chu Xiangqian's usual practice in the courtyard, when he taught patriotism, love the people, and love Lin to practice martial arts, he would use a wooden stick when he was not satisfied, which shows that he really let him know that his younger brother is not good for his daughter-in-law, so he will definitely not favor his cousin.

Yushui knew about this from Silly Zhu's mouth, and he hesitated at first, but as soon as Silly Zhu mentioned Xue Jinglan, it also made Yushui really put out his thoughts.

It's just that if you want to marry a patriot or not, the little girl will not turn the corner so easily.

And patriotism doesn't have much idea about his marriage.

First, he is still young and thin-skinned, and secondly, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, when he is dressed up like rain and has a girl with 85 points, unless he is a real straight man of steel, few will refuse.

On the side, there are the second aunt and Xue Jinglan, who are sisters-in-law, who praise the rain from time to time, and Aimin sometimes shows an envious expression, and Aiguo immediately feels that the rain is very good.

On this day, Chu Xiangqian was discussing with his superiors how to avoid the goods exported by the Celestial Empire being restricted by the people of the Magnesium Country and the Island Country, and when he returned home, he heard about Patriotism and Rain and went to watch a movie.

Immediately put aside the matter of entering the island country market for the time being.

Instead, Xue Jinglan asked the second aunt and Aiguo to come to the East Wing, and asked carefully to make sure that Aiguo really felt that the rain was very good, so he made up his mind.

Now that he has made a decision, Chu Xiangqian sometimes has a resolute side.

That night, he went to Chen Huaili's house.

The next morning, he called Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian and gave them a basket of ingredients.

I plan to invite Duan Jidong, head of the administrative office, Xu Guiju, an organization cadre, and Xue Hongmei, Xue Jinglan's aunt, to dinner in the street cafeteria tonight.

Nan Yi actually wanted to find Chu Xiangqian for a long time, and now when he heard that Chu Xiangqian was going to invite a few street cadres to eat in the street cafeteria at night, he immediately became active.

According to the ingredients that Chu Xiangqian asked Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian to take, stir-fried venison, white jade crab meat, fire pupil shark's fin, and eel in snow cabbage soup made in the evening, plus 4 side dishes and 4 stir-fried.

That craftsmanship was not only Chu Xiangqian's surprise, but Chen Huaili, Duan Jidong, Xu Guiju, Xue Hongmei and the doorman Sun also praised him again and again.

After Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian finished eating, they couldn't wait to immediately kneel on the ground and worship Nan Yi as their teacher.

It's a pity that Nan Yi looks very good at talking on weekdays, but in fact, when he is doing business, he cares more about the rules than Silly Zhu.

Three years of testing, three years of apprenticeship, and only after 6 years of his recognition can it be possible to accept apprentices.

Of course, and Silly Zhu accepted apprentices in the TV series, but he only accepted a little fat man and another canteen cook in a year or two.

But Silly Zhu is not a good master.
