The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Discuss any troubles.

The two of them went to a private room in a nearby teahouse.

Huang Fuyi said while making excuses: "I messed up something this morning and almost got a scolding from Director Li."

"I forgot to talk to Director Li about business when I was nervous, so I just wanted to ask you to give me an idea."

They are good friends to play with. My uncle said casually: "It's okay. You can tell the chairman the same thing."

Huang Fuyi whispered: "It may not be appropriate to ask the chairman directly about this matter."

It seemed very mysterious, and my brother-in-law became interested. "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Huang Fuyi didn't try to be pretentious anymore and said: "That Ah Hai from Wan Chai asked me if they could open two massage parlors or something in Australia."

"I have no control over this matter. If I ask the chairman about this matter, I will probably not get any good results."

It was quite an unexpected thing, but it seemed to be a very reasonable thing. My uncle asked: "There are hundreds of people on the farm in Australia, right?"

Huang Fuyi responded: "There are already 300 people, and there will be 400 soon. It is increasing very quickly."

"In the past, Australians had few things and many things to do, and all kinds of things were not sorted out. Now we are basically on the right track, and things in life should be solved."

The uncle frowned slightly, "This is indeed a troublesome problem that needs to be solved."

"So when Ah Hai asked me, I didn't refuse directly."

"By the way, are brothels legal in Australia?"

Huang Fuyi answered honestly: "It's not legal. Just like Hong Kong City, it's prohibited by law. You can only open massage parlors and the like."

The eldest uncle decided: "Then let them prepare first."

"Although Director Li may not object, it's best to ask him before speaking, and don't make your own decisions."

Huang Fuyi smiled and said: "I don't know when Director Li will be free. He doesn't care much about the company's affairs recently."

The uncle glanced at Huang Fuyi and said, "You don't want to offend the chairman, but you want me to help you ask Director Li's time?"

"Yes, that's what it is. And when you treat guests, Director Li will definitely be there."

"That's not necessarily true. My sister doesn't like parties at entertainment venues, and my brother-in-law dotes on her. If she says not to come, she will probably not give me face."

"Then please help me ask when Director Li will be free."

"Okay. I'll ask you."

Li Ming must agree. If he doesn't agree, people from Australia will definitely go to Broome to cause trouble, which will affect his early low-key development plan.

However, it is impossible for him to operate or openly support it like admitting it is legal.

The Australian state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, first legalized brothels in 1984, and several other states have followed suit.

It did not achieve the beautiful effect people expected.

Human trafficking, especially of children, has not decreased but has even increased because there is more demand.

The spread of Disease X is not declining. (40% of people do not know how to wear condoms)
The participation of criminals and the proliferation of drugs are also as usual, failing to achieve the purpose of reducing crime.

Apart from solving the blatant massage parlor trade and the overflowing street vultures that were previously unable to be dealt with, there is no other achievement, and there are even many more illegal brothels.

The plan sounds good, but it has not been achieved in practice and has many side effects. It is considered a failed policy.

D.

Social management costs have been reduced, tax revenue has been increased, and a large number of people are counting on those prostitutes for food.

Money and votes, so subsequent state legislatures have maintained this policy.

Lack of money is also the reason why many people often do something even though they know it is wrong.

There are many job opportunities in Hong Kong, and there are legitimate ways to make money to support the family. Ordinary women do not need to go out of their way to sell their bodies.

However, the money-oriented culture in Hong Kong City is very strong, and speculation, gambling, and making quick money are what they talk about.

Li Ming will respect other people's choices.

a few days later.

The twenty-fourth year is the New Year in the South.

Lou Xiao'e did not go to her parents' house for the holidays.

At night, Li Ming took her and Qin Huairu to celebrate the festival.

Lou Xiao'e gnawed on the braised chicken feet and said, "Sister Qin, have you been busy recently? You haven't been here for several days."

Qin Huairu sipped ginseng chicken soup, "People in the courtyard have been very noisy recently and they all go to bed late. It's not convenient for me to come out."

Lou Xiao'e cast a curious look.

Qin Huairu said casually: "There is a notice from above. The dividends of collective enterprises are gone."

"We jointly built a greenhouse in the compound before. Now I don't know if I can share the money from selling vegetables, but I don't want to have no money to share."

Lou Xiao'e helped with the idea and said, "You can divide the dishes."

"The superiors have already thought of this, and have also requested the current, public reserves, and public welfare funds of each unit. These funds that have been privately distributed must be returned immediately and voluntarily."

Qin Huairu added another sentence, "Nothing is allowed to be divided privately now."

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do?"

Qin Huairu finished drinking the chicken soup and put down the bowl in her hand. She did not dare to drink too much.

"According to the proportion of the public welfare fund, purchase some materials that are open for sale, and then the whole hospital will share one point."

"In the yard, we will have a more sumptuous dinner on the second day of the new year."

Lou Xiao'e wiped her hands, raised her glass and said, "This is also very good."

Qin Huairu also raised her wine glass. She took a sip of the sweet glutinous rice wine and said, "This is the original arrangement."

"Now that we are in the limelight, I haven't heard of any money being paid, so I can only make do with it."

Lou Xiao'e asked the man next to her, "Xiao Ming, didn't you think of a way for everyone?"

Li Ming, who only focused on cooking to replenish his physical fitness, said: "I want to keep a low profile now. I don't even plan to appear in the press briefing of the ham processing factory after the year."

Qin Huairu continued: "Even my mother's production team is talking about the processing factory's dividends. You should keep a low profile."

She is low-key because of her outstanding achievements. Lou Xiao'e is in a good mood, "What a coincidence, now everyone in Hong Kong is talking about our year-end bonus."

"Sister Qin, you are here. Let me tell you about this."

The relationship between Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e is now so close that it couldn't be any closer, so there is no need for false politeness.

Lou Xiaoe knows all the data well.

“I’ll talk about those outside Hong Kong first, and I’m talking about US dollars. In Nanyang, there are profits from Singapore, Dai, and Malay. Singapore was the first to enter the market, with a total of 90, and the other two countries combined for 130 million. "

"The Japanese market is mainly for cup noodles shipped in December. The profit of this new product is relatively high. A total of 12 million barrels were sold, with a profit of US$1500 million."

"In the east coast market, our profit sharing in the next two months is only 2%, and last year it was 64 million in total."

"Australia has been losing money, so I won't go into details. Hum! A massage parlor is actually going to open there."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly thought of this thing that made her a little angry. "Massage parlor? Is it the one I saw in Hong Kong City?" Qin Huairu has been shopping a few times and has seen those colorful and explicit signs.

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes to the side, "That's what your man decides."

Li Ming clarified: "It was your brother who made the decision! This matter has nothing to do with me."

Lou Xiao'e didn't believe it at all, "My brother said you agreed."

Li Ming also filled a bowl of chicken soup to drink, "I promised you right."

"When you asked me, they had already made arrangements. If I objected, it would be a slap in the face to your elder brother."

"Your brother is also a great contributor. He broke out of the big markets of Magnesia and Ouzhou. The reason why the wall clock business is so successful and the Rubik's Cube toys can make so much money is because of his contribution."

When the matter was settled, Lou Xiao'e stopped talking and went on to introduce the business progress to Qin Huairu.

"Last year for the Rubik's Cube business, we mainly supplied the markets in Magnesia and Ouzhou, with some scattered supply in the port city. Japan, Nanyang, and Dongou only started supplying in January."

"Part of the magnesium market is retail, and the total profit is US$155 million, which in Ouzhou is US$125 million. The total profit is US$280 million."

Qin Huairu said in surprise: "The profit in more than one month is almost as much as Nanyang's in half a year."

Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "If we don't say that those foreign companies take commissions from foreign trade orders, they can make a lot of money. The market of Ou magnesium is huge and the profits are huge."

"The watch business, which we have just begun to develop, has also achieved very good results."

"The total intended orders from various department stores in Magnesia are 1000 million wall clocks. The Ouzhou market and other markets combined, it is estimated that there will be 1000 million."

"A wall clock has a profit of 2-3 US dollars, and more than 2000 million US dollars is stable."

Qin Huairu forgot the previous data, "We invested a lot of money in clocks, right?"

Lou Xiao'e held out two little fingers and said, "Including the cost of building the factory, it is only 200 million US dollars."

"Ribun's movement company is in a state of profit and loss because the yield rate is not good enough. If the quality products are improved, 40% of our profits will be there."

Qin Huairu asked doubtfully: "Doesn't Gangcheng's movement have this problem?"

Lou Xiao'e gestured and explained: "The movement of a watch is very small. The movement of a wall clock is as big as a Pechoin box, which is easier to produce, and it can be used even if the error is larger."

"So that's it."

"We haven't produced alarm clocks yet because the movement has a large error. People who use alarm clocks have higher requirements for punctuality. We will only supply alarm clocks after we improve the accuracy."

Qin Huairu agreed: "The person who set the alarm clock must have something wrong. We can't miss their business."

Lou Xiao'e continued: "That's it."

"In the first half of the year, profits from instant noodles in Hong Kong City were relatively high, but all of them were used to build factories and increase inventory."

"The total profit from July to December was HK$7 million, including all businesses such as instant noodles, ham sausages, meatballs, clocks, and Rubik's cubes."

"In addition, there is a profit of US$4000 million from supplying 360 million barrels of instant noodles to Magnesium Army, which is HK$2200 million."

Qin Huairu said in surprise: "The Magnesium Army has so much profit!"

Lou Xiao'e took a sip of glutinous rice wine to moisten her throat, "There is no tax on delivery in the port city. The rebate given is hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Qin Huairu didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment.

Lou Xiaoe continued: "Not only the management received dividends, but all employees also received year-end bonuses."

"Roughly speaking, those who have been working in the factory for one year will be given three months' salary, two months for half a year, and only one month for those who have been in the factory for more than three months."

"Including newly hired employees at the watch factory, they were also awarded half a month's salary and asked them to work hard and complete orders."

"However, I mentioned before that there was a lottery for a house. This time, only employees who have been with the company for more than three months are eligible to participate. A female employee of an instant noodle factory won the prize."

Qin Huairu knew about the lottery house, "A big house of 100 square meters, comfortable to live in."

Lou Xiao'e took another sip of glutinous rice wine. It was very sweet and delicious. She had already drank several glasses of wine and her face was flushed, which made her look very pretty.

"I heard that I want to sell it and replace it with two small rooms. I can live in one and rent out the other."

Qin Huairu put herself in his shoes and thought about it, "That's good too."

"I asked Manager Wen Guangshun to pay more attention. If there is an opportunity, I can promote her to management positions such as shift leader and section leader."

"Xiao'e, you are so attentive. No wonder you can manage the entire company in an orderly manner."

"Hey, a person who knows how to spend money can't waste any more."

"Are our new products next year just wall clocks, alarm clocks, watches and Rubik's cubes?"

Lou Xiao'e, who was a little tipsy, was obviously more talkative, "It's more than that."

"The food business is developing beverage products and has launched a Red Bull beverage on the market. There are many recipes for everyone to try and evaluate."

Qin Huairu asked with a smile: "This kind of tasting is also a marketing activity, right?"

Lou Xiao'e hummed, "That's right."

"There are many types of drinks on the market in Hong Kong City. Our newly launched Red Bull is not well-known. This trial event will build its reputation in advance."

"Ordinary sodas on the market cost 1 cents a bottle, and Coca-Cola only costs 5 cents a bottle. Our price is 3 cents a bottle, which is very expensive. You can't do it without trying it."

Li Ming, who had eaten and drank enough, explained: "It is also a test of the human body's tolerance. Drinking too much of this kind of functional drink can still be harmful to people."

"The ones we let Yingguolao and Meiguolao try out are with added dosage. We will use this data as a reference in the future to fill Red Bull in Oumei that is suitable for local people."

Qin Huairu didn't understand and asked, "Will it be different in each place?"

Li Ming smiled and said: "This is necessary. Every place has its own unique taste. If drinks want to sell well, they must adapt to the tastes of the locals."

"As long as food is sold all over the world, it will be like this. The taste of our instant noodles in Riben Market is far different from that in Nanyang Market."

Qin Huairu said obediently: "Yes."

Lou Xiao'e said with a wicked smile: "Hurry up and drink a bottle and give it to Sister Qin to try the effect."

Qin Huairu's face was full of questions.

Lou Xiao'e chuckled and said: "Cambrian Laboratory made up a fake function of Zhuang Yang, and deliberately did not publicize it publicly, asking the salesmen to spread it in private."

Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to pinch Lou Xiao'e's face, "You are used to talking nonsense."

Li Ming helped hold down Lou Xiao'e who was trying to avoid him, "It's indeed nonsense."

Lou Xiao'e blocked Qin Huairu's attack with her hand and said to Li Ming: "I didn't make this up. I still suspect you made it up. You have the most evil ideas."

. . .

Qin Huairu has gone back with satisfaction.

Instead of soaking in the hot tub, the remaining two people rested on the big bed.

Lou Xiao'e asked lazily: "The Chinese New Year was celebrated in Beijing yesterday. Where did you go?"

Li Ming said calmly: "I'm on duty in the factory. Mother Fu made me some snacks, and I took them to the security department and distributed them to everyone."

Holiday duty is a very useful excuse to silence a woman.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even know where to go. (End of chapter)
