20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 659

Xiaowei asked: "Can't something happen?"

Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's okay, there is no evidence. If you go out and tell others that I have 200 million, who will believe it?"

Xiaowei said: "As long as there is nothing to do. What is he buying this for? There are so many, is it really jewelry?"

Zhang Jun said: "No, people in western Shanxi have this tradition, as if they like to pile up cash at home, and buy gold and jewelry everywhere when they have a lot of money.

I remember reading a book before, saying that when the Japanese occupied western Shanxi, they pulled gold and silver from the old Cao’s house, and pulled dozens of carts for more than [-] days.People in that place have money in history, they can save and calculate, how famous the Jin Gang is, the first place in Chinese history to open a private bank, it was called the bank at that time. "

Xiaowei, a Shanxi merchant, knows, and Xiaowei from the Cao family has also heard of it. It is said that he is the first businessman in China to open a branch abroad. The Cao family compound still exists.That is the legend of a Chinese businessman, who was the best businessman in the Northeast in the late Ming Dynasty, bar none. With the entry of the Qing soldiers in 1664, the Cao family's business expanded to the whole country.

In its heyday, there were Cao's shops in the north and south of the river, with more than 640 branches, assets of 200 million taels of silver, and nearly 4 employees. At that time, there was a saying that "everywhere sparrows fly by has Cao's business name" statement.

His family went abroad, as close as Tokyo, Japan, Pyongyang, North Korea, Irkutsk, Kyakhta, Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, as far as Berlin, Germany, Paris, France, and New Delhi, India. English Channel to London.Across the two continents of Europe and Asia, tens of thousands of miles in length and breadth, not only in the business history of Jinxi people, but also in the business history of Chinese people, they have created immortal brilliance.

Moreover, the Cao family has developed a "Tea Road" between Shanxi and Mongolia, and its prosperity is comparable to that of the "Silk Road" in history.

The Cao family has two main businesses: tofu grinding and wine making.How old is it?Cixi's escape to the west was all borrowed money from the manager, and it wasn't just empty words and pledged with treasures.In the first few hundred years of the last century, Taigu County, where the Cao family is located, was known by Westerners as one of the financial centers of Asia.

In the end, the glory of the Cao family was ended by the Japanese.After the Japanese left, they were reformed, imprisoned, and reeducated through labor. Now the descendants of the Cao family still live in the village that once shined in the world. Their ancestral hall has become a museum for people all over the world to visit. They But living a life of poverty and lack of clothing and medicine, he could only cry out helplessly, hoping that the clan living overseas could come back and take a look.

"No matter how prosperous it is, there will be times of decline. People have to find a way out for themselves." Xiaowei sighed.

Zhang Jun said: "The times are different. It is useless to have money in that troubled world. If you have the business situation and influence of the old Cao family at that time, you will be treated like a king wherever you go. As long as you don't give birth to a bunch of If the prodigal boy comes, he will definitely prosper."

Back in the camp management office, Zhang Jun asked, "How do you get the money?"

Xiaowei said: "Why don't you change it into a check for me, I'm a bit confused about it."

Zhang Jun said, "I counted out 50 yuan and gave it to Xiaogang and the guards, so I don't have to pay the bill."

Xiaowei said: "Brother, this is my own money, that is the company's money."

The sister-in-law said: "Yes, don't listen to your brother, you can't mix it up, if you don't understand it, it's over."

Xiaowei said: "Changing the check for me, 240 million, and leave [-] for your pocket money."

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "It's okay, it's still a little bit, [-] is [-], I don't think it's too little." The sister-in-law punched Zhang Jun.

The two brothers carried the money upstairs to the finance department and exchanged it for a check, and a major event was finally settled.Since then, there has been no trace of it.

After eating early in the morning on the third day, a group of people came to the construction site.

After a day and two nights of preparation, the machinery and equipment have already entered the site, and the personnel are basically in place.To be honest, the equipment is not a standard high-level equipment. Zhang Jian said that he has already gone to purchase, and the equipment must be in place before the tenth floor of the main frame, so everyone had to agree, let's do it first.It's already autumn, and if we drag it on, we won't be able to produce anything this year.

After the foundation was demolished, two large pits had been dug. At this time, it was necessary to redraw the line and mark the ruler for positioning, and then expand the excavation on the basis of the two large pits.Not enough depth and width.Fortunately, the geological conditions here are better than Wanliu's, the subsidence coefficient is extremely low, and the requirements for the foundation are not so strict.

After demolishing more than 120 acres of land, it doesn’t look too big to the naked eye, that is, more than 30 meters square, but it feels big when it is actually dug. Four excavators started at the same time, and they started to work rumblingly. The earth volume of [-] cubic meters is not a small amount. Generally speaking, it takes nearly a month to dig. Fortunately, part of the excavation has already been completed, but the depth is not enough, which saves a lot of time.

Mi Zhiqi and Wang Hong just entered the working state, and Zhang Jian, Zhang Jianfang's engineer, and the management personnel recruited by his sister-in-law started to discuss the project, formulate the process technology standard and the construction schedule, and Xiaowei was fine.

I took Zhang Jun and his sister-in-law to take some photos, this is for parents, then drove to the mall to buy special products, and talked with the mall about bulk purchases, that is, wholesale.There must be a market for these things back in Liaodong.

The management of these local products was decided early in the morning, but the conditions have not been met, and now they can be recruited.Xiaowei plans to make Mongolian specialties and mountain wild vegetables from the county into a brand and sell them in his own store.That is to say, to open up a specialty counter.

Non-staple food shopping malls and department stores do not have wholesale business. The state-run shopping malls in this era are so rigid, so I don't sell them.The manager of the non-staple food market provided Xiaowei with the telephone numbers of several units and manufacturers, and asked Xiaowei to contact them by himself.

At that time, the state-owned shopping malls were really too rigid in terms of work, with inflexible business ideas and inflexible business systems, so it was inevitable that they would be eliminated by the market after a few years.

To be honest, Xiaowei was also quite surprised. He really couldn't understand what the manager was thinking. He wanted to earn some money and quit wholesale. Because there was no such business, he directly gave the phone number of the manufacturer, which was quite arrogant. You Get in touch yourself.

No way, Xiaowei had no choice but to drive to find the manufacturer, which is really troublesome. In fact, he would rather spend more to get the goods from the non-staple food side. It will be troublesome to order in the future.The prices of goods in state-run shopping malls these days are not much higher than those of manufacturers. This is the benefit of a planned economy, and pricing has nothing to do with market costs.
