Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 406
When Chu moved forward, Aiyuan took Feifei to sit on the sofa and watched an English channel that she didn't understand, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, my brother just did that, aren't you angry?"

Feifei was stunned and thought for a few seconds before asking, "What's wrong with your brother?"

"He's standing, and you're squatting to put on his shoes?"

Only then did Feifei react and asked in confusion, "Brother You is my husband. Isn't it what a wife should do to put on his shoes?"

The customs here on Hong Kong Island do follow many habits from the Republic of China and even the Braided Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, just thinking about having a concubine, you can tell what the atmosphere is like.

Seeing Aiyuan's confused look, Feifei said with a smile, "When you find someone you like, you will know that you are willing to wear shoes, wash your feet and do anything.

Besides, your brother is so kind to me, so it’s normal for me to be nice to him. "

Aiyuan nodded stupidly, secretly thinking that he had also washed his eldest brother's feet. Thinking about it this way, it seemed right.

As for the man she likes, Aiyuan feels that it is impossible for her to wash his feet.

However, if he washes his own feet first, then wash them yourself too.

As for squatting on the ground to put on shoes, that's impossible in this life.

Chu Xiangqian took a car to the Peninsula Hotel and saw Zheng Sufen waiting in the lobby early.

Chu Xiangqian said to Zhang Tianzhi, "Brother Zhi, just go back. I should stay in the hotel tonight."

Zhang Tianzhi shook his head hastily, "I'll get a room in the hotel. Boss, just call me if you need anything. As for my boy, he's taken care of now."

Chu Xiangqian thought about the high salary he gave Zhang Tianzhi. Last time, he gave him a bonus of 5 Hong Kong dollars because of the American ghost guy.

It is indeed normal to hire someone to take care of his little one.

Even hiring two people is no problem, and he is often away from Hong Kong Island, which means that Zhang Tianzhi can do his own thing for half of the year.

This is polite, but it is indeed too easy to talk to.

Nodding, he got off the car and said to Zheng Sufen who came up to him, "Arrange a business room for my driver and put the bill on my account."

Zheng Sufen nodded quickly and quickly ran to the front desk to make arrangements for Zhang Tianzhi.He hurriedly caught up with Chu Qianqian who was walking towards the elevator.

"Chu Sheng, Mr. Harder is already in the chess and card room, and I personally checked the telephone microphone, table lamp, chandelier and other places to make sure there is nothing wrong."

Chu Xiangqian knew that what Zheng Sufen said was that there was no bug in the private room.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that he still had to find someone to buy anti-eavesdropping equipment. After all, the destructive power of commercial spies was not necessarily less than that of agents.

These days' bugs all have to be connected to a power source.

Of course, the power required is actually not high, just connect it to the microphone.

"Is Lawyer Huang here?"

Zheng Sufen nodded hurriedly, "I came here an hour and a half ago."

Chu nodded forward and did not rush to the chess and card room. Instead, he went to the suite he had reserved all year round in the hotel.

Not long after, Huang Dazhuang brought the patent document to Chu Qianqian.

After he was sure that he had applied for the American patent, Chu Xiangqian felt relieved.

After casually asking a few questions about how the lawyer was doing, Huang Dazhuang was sent away.

I wanted to go directly to the chess and card room, but I saw Zheng Sufen looking at me with a slightly red face.Chu Qianqian felt happy and secretly thought that this woman was really persistent.

He glanced at her finger subconsciously and suddenly found that the ring was missing.

Walk up to the other person, reach out and lift her chin.

Zheng Sufen became nervous instantly, and then her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were slightly twitching, and she looked like she was at the mercy of others, which made Chu Xiangqian feel excited.

Ten minutes later, Chu Qianqian came out of the bathroom after washing his hands and saw Zheng Sufen lying on the sofa with blurred eyes.

When I saw myself coming out, I quickly got up and put my suit and skirt in order.

He walked forward to arrange his suit and tie, but his charming eyes were full of resentment.

I’m like this, but I’m just playing the piano.

If she hadn't made sure that Chu Xiangqian was fine, Zheng Sufen would have suspected that there was something wrong with him.

However, most of the anger accumulated over the past few days has dissipated.

"After the card game ends in the evening, bring me a midnight snack."

Zheng Sufen nodded hurriedly, and then she felt happy. Does this mean that she still has a chance?

Watching Chu Qianqian leave, Zheng Sufen's mind was full of what she should do next.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about Zheng Sufen's random thoughts. When he entered the chess and card room, playing cards was not the focus, and he never thought about winning money deliberately.

While playing cards casually, they discussed the factory with Hader and the others.

The trolley box is easy to understand, not to mention that Chu Xiangqian spent four or five physical drawings on the spot. Hader and others could imagine what the real thing would look like after seeing it.

Secretly, Chu Xiangqian is smart. With just two simple innovations, this new suitcase will definitely replace the original suitcase in the future.

Just like the Tianchao back then, it was just a single-row suitcase with four pulleys, which turned into a double-row suitcase with four pulleys. In just two or three years, all the previous boxes were eliminated.

Moreover, whether it is a box with two wheels in a single row or a box with four wheels in a double row, Chu Xiangqian has registered patents for all of them.

First produce single rows, and after three or four years, or two or three years, double rows.

This kind of box will definitely sell well in at least 5 years.

Moreover, the output of plastics at this time was extremely low and the cost was also high, so leather and canvas boxes were destined to be the mainstream.

Comparing the two, the leather box is naturally more expensive and more classy.

So Hader and others agreed to Chu Qianqian's suggestion of providing leather without much hesitation.

However, Hader and the others are not stupid, at least there are requirements for the quality of the leather.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this at all, and even wished that they would set the leather rating higher.

The leather collected by the gathering technique has long been proven to be of extremely high quality, so I can actually earn more.

So Chu Xiangqian directly decided to produce high-end cylinder suitcases first.

When the production scale expands, we will consider the mid- to low-end market.

Hader and others have no objection to this suggestion. Fools all know that luxury goods cost little but earn the most.

Moreover, this group of people really have no shortage of luxury goods. Just like Nelson, the Director of the District Office. He has so many luxury bags in his office that he hates them taking up space. He wishes Chu Qianqian could help him take away all the bags in his office. the point.

In the past, more than 20 packages were delivered at a time.

Since they have been exposed to various brands of luxury goods, Nelson and others naturally know the prices of luxury bags.

From tens of pounds to hundreds of pounds, the cheapest one costs a normal person one or two months' salary.

As for the future China, the import tax on luxury goods alone will be the same as the sales prices in Europe and the United States.

It is equivalent to saying that when Chinese people buy luxury goods, they must first pay import tax for 1 yuan out of 5 yuan.

Naturally, a new brand cannot sell a box for hundreds of pounds.

But Chu Xiangqian had a huge advantage. Not only did he use Margaret as an advertisement, he just gave Norton a few samples.

Trolley boxes could easily become popular among the English aristocracy.But it’s not that easy to make £50 a year.

Chu Xiangqian's idea is very simple. Create a brand himself and then OEM it for other luxury goods companies.

They sell their boxes for £50 and the upgraded trolley boxes for £30.

Only in this way can influence and fame be achieved in a short period of time.

As long as other luxury goods companies are not stupid, they will definitely accept it from the beginning.

While avoiding a decrease in market share, there is also an opportunity to slowly find solutions.

It is not difficult to produce 2.5 units a year. Earning 20 pounds per unit is 50.

Chu Xiangqian had no intention of holding on to this luggage company forever. As long as the price was right, he could just sell it.

By then, people like Hader, as well as luxury goods companies, will most likely take over their 51% shares.

"Chu, why is the patent you have not in the hands of the new company?"

Chu shrugged forward, "Gentlemen, you can get a patent, but what about the price? I think 500 million pounds is not expensive, right?"

Bridge, who asked this, immediately shut up.

Others were also confused. It is conceivable that even the expected profit of the new company would not reach the 50 pounds a year mentioned by Chu Xiangqian.

But it’s really not easy to buy [-] to [-] bags of this kind a year.

Maybe [-] or [-] will be sold in England alone.

Including the United States and several other developed countries in Europe, [-] to [-] units should be sold.

Not this year or next year, but the profit in two or three years may be more than 50 pounds.

The patent can be purchased for 500 million, plus Chu Xiangqian's 51% stake, which will cost a lot of money.

After two or three years of incomplete guarantee, the patent plus shares will cost tens of millions of pounds.

Damn it, if you think about it this way, it seems that all the money you and others will make in the next few years will go to him.

"Chu, 500 million pounds is too expensive."

Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "Gentlemen, just ask, can this business make a lot of money?
Also, can you earn back the 49 pounds you invested and the shares you will occupy in a few years? "

As soon as these words came out, Hader and others had nothing to say.

I am reluctant to spend 500 million pounds to buy patents. When Chu Xiangqian wants to quit in the future, the worst case scenario is that everyone will quit together.

Just 49% of the shares are worth two to three million pounds.

Including the money earned from bags in the past few years, it is 500 to [-] million pounds.

Only a fool would not do it if it would make ten times the profit.

Of course, Hader and others also knew that Chu Xiangqian's prospects were too optimistic, but even if the dividend was doubled, it would still be five or six times the return.

It's just that he and the others were divided among eight people, but Chu Qianqian earned more than double what everyone else earned.

It would be strange not to be jealous.

"You'd better wake up," Chu Xiangqian said with a straight face, "If I cooperate with the powerful people in London, I can still get the construction rights of Chai Wan Pier."

Farke, Harder and others cursed.

But he had to recognize the fact.

Charles and Hahn are the wisest, knowing that they have the lowest status on Hong Kong Island.

If it weren't for Chu Xiangxiang, he had said before that if there was good business, he would only share it among poker friends.

Only then did Hader and others have to agree.

After all, no one can guarantee that in the future, Charles and Hahn will use the same excuse to kick themselves and others out after they come forward or find a good project.

"Sign the contract tomorrow, and I'll take it as a matter of spending tens of thousands of pounds to take a risk with Chu."

When others saw this, they could only agree, otherwise Charles or others would be eager for someone to withdraw so that they could get more shares.

After confirming it, Chu Xiangqian directly acted as the shopkeeper.

The trivial matters of purchasing land, or ready-made factories, and purchasing machinery were all left to Charles and Hahn.

These two people are not long-winded. They both know very well that they are not important enough. If they don't do more practical things, other people's opinions will be greater.

Besides, with everyone’s respective connections, it’s not difficult to do these things.

And Chu Xiangqian didn't care how Hader and the others distributed the 39% of the shares.

As for the remaining 10%, Hader also made it clear that the superiors must be given some benefits, otherwise even if the land approval is approved, someone wants to cause trouble, even if the construction permit for the dock cannot be denied.

But there is no problem at all with nausea and chu forward.

Seeing that Hader and others no longer wanted to play cards, Chu Xiangqian reminded them with a smile that when they went to the law firm tomorrow morning, remember to bring a check.

Then he went to his luxurious suite.

One night passed, Chu Qianqian felt refreshed and got into Zhang Tianzhi's car to go to the law firm. Zheng Sufen in the suite looked tired and lay on the big bed, soundly sleeping.

This woman was quite interesting. Chu Xiangqian never ate her because he was worried about getting into trouble.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Sufen was very sober. Before doing the work, she had already begun to worry that after Chu Xiangqian succeeded, it would not take long for her to get tired of herself.

Even though she made it clear that she would not follow him, the relationship between the two of them was regarded as a kind of adjustment in daily life.

This made Chu Xiangqian feel that he was the one who suffered.

If there is no shortage of family and lovers, then you are the winner.
-
When they arrived at the new office building of the Central Law Firm, not only Huang Weixin and his lawyers rushed out to greet him, but Juan Montero, the senior manager of Standard Chartered, and Lu Anjie, who was specifically responsible for Chu Xiangqian's business at Standard Chartered, were waiting in the law firm.

After meeting, Chu Xiangqian smiled and said to Juan, "You got the news so soon?"

Juan shrugged, "Dear Chu, you have to understand that 4 million projects have not appeared on Hong Kong Island for many years except for government projects.

I believe that in addition to our Standard Chartered and HSBC, bankers from England, island countries and the United States should be ready to fly to Hong Kong Island to discuss loan matters with you.

As your designated settlement bank, if we don’t act as quickly as they do, we will not engage in commercial banking business in the future. "

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, but his settlement business at Standard Chartered was only limited to business with the mainland and India.

Chu Xiangqian could understand this method of deliberately confusing the scope of cooperation, but he also felt dissatisfied in his heart.

He smiled and said, "I hope the source of your information is not from the people around me."

Juan and Lu Anjie felt nervous, knowing that Chu Qianqian was warning, and Huang Weixin and his lawyers were immediately ready to take action.

Ordinary wealthy people don't even have to think twice when facing Standard Chartered. They will definitely take a step back and will never have to deal with a cross-regional bank.

But his boss does not need to borrow from the bank. Instead, Standard Chartered wants to beg him to hand over more business to Standard Chartered.

Once the capital settlement business of this 4 million project is taken away by HSBC or other banks, it will have a huge impact on Standard Chartered's reputation and business capabilities.

Not to mention that the boss is still hinting that Standard Chartered may have used illegal methods. For lawyers, this is money and an opportunity to earn reputation.
