Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 595: Make a decision and start early

Chu Xiangqian was indeed as the second elder and Old Man Tang had guessed. As long as he was allowed to enter the island country's market, he would definitely cause trouble.

And his confidence can be said to be very strong.

In addition to his first-class ability to do things on his own, he also has the support of the Celestial Empire, so he can actually do a lot.

Once China is struggling to make no money and exports goods in order to earn foreign exchange, it only needs to maintain not to lose money. China is really capable of lowering the prices of low-level handicrafts and primary industrial products to those of island countries, Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian countries. The extent of making money.

Unfortunately, the international division of labor is not clear in this era, and protection ideas are prevalent in various countries. Many things cannot be sold to other countries just because you want to.

Of course, China is actually practicing self-protection. Otherwise, it will definitely become a dumping ground for European and American industrial products.

But if you can open up connections and want to enter the island country, the South Korean market is actually not as difficult as imagined, and the profits are still very high.

For example, if Chu Xiangqian just builds his factory on Hong Kong Island, the Buddhist altars he produces can easily enter the market of the island countries.

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

Even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.

And the companies that take away most of the profits are on Hong Kong Island, and there is basically no commercial tax here.

It can be said that this gameplay alone is worth thousands of gold.

Newspapers and islanders called the company crazy, but the actual sales were more than a thousand watches sold in just one store in ten days.

If it weren't for the fact that the woodware factories on Hong Kong Island couldn't keep up with the production capacity, Chu Xiangqian would have bankrupted many of the woodware factories in his small life within two or three years as long as he took the initiative to cut prices by 15%.

It is equivalent to making money from the people of the island country, while forcing the island country's wood company to go bankrupt little by little, and finally making another fortune from the island country's government.

To a certain extent, this is correct.

In this way, no one will check where the imported products are produced.

Then, a foreign trade company was registered in Shengbaba County and controlled the island company.

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

For goods equivalent to one million, both companies only earn 5, so the taxes they need to pay will be very small.

This gameplay was only invented by a company in Ireland in the 80s.

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

At the same time, Barbara's company in Hong Kong, the island country and the country can also use the company's losses to obtain subsidies and tax rebates from the island country and the country.

Then in the past ten or twenty years, due to low tax rates and even no commercial taxes at all, Ireland gradually became the preferred registration place for most multinational companies around the world to set up branches or secretly hold sales companies.

It easily attracted the attention of many working-class people, and faced with a unit price of US$240, the reaction of the islanders was just as Chu Xiangqian expected.

But the real profits were all taken away by offshore companies.

But Chu Xiangqian did not forget to tell Ehime that this model must be kept secret.

Then concentrate limited resources in the hands of large companies and factories.

Even in order to sell it smoothly, Chu Xiangqian even asked Coopers and Dow's accountant team to advertise in Kyoto and Daban.

Moreover, the wood that Chu Xiangqian took out actually cost nothing, so for him, the profit was higher.

However, it may only be three to five years before the island government notices this.

It can easily increase the annual profits of a multinational company by at least 30% to 50%, or even several times.

Then learn from future apples. When purchasing wood products and bamboo products, the two import and export companies in the island country and Santa Barbara County will purchase them based on the production cost plus an additional 5%.

Once the labor wages are paid and the various expenses of factories and leather goods companies are paid, the last few companies may be losing money on their books.

Now that production capacity cannot keep up, let’s make a fortune first.

At the same time, some shares and even management rights were reserved for the island country’s import and export companies.

In other words, many islanders are selling and selling, but they honestly want to buy goods from the mainland.

Some custom-made Buddhist niches made of high-grade wood can even generate three to ten times the profit.

If he really does this, the entire wood carving industry will be wiped out by him.

Firstly, more correct taxes will be collected, and secondly, the efficiency will be higher and the products will be more competitive.

After the matter of expanding the purchase of bamboo products for the forest farm was settled, Chu Xiangqian thought about it and quickly chose to increase the order quantity of watches among bicycles, watches, radios and sewing machines.

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

The content was just about looking for two fair-skinned handsome men and beauties to shoot an advertisement with watches. It actually made many people in the island country mistakenly think that the brand named "Bald Eagle" was a company from the United States.

Not to mention that offshore companies can be used to control import and export companies in Hong Kong Island.

Many of these small workshops and factories do not pay taxes. Some official people in the island country may be eager for these small workshops and small factories to go bankrupt.

This means that in all aspects, the profits of each company are only maintained at around 5%.

And the people of the island country are not stupid, so it is impossible for Chu Xiangqian to occupy their entire wood carving market.

You only need to pay ten masters, plus 90 masters' apprentice wages, and the rest is basically pure profit.

When Ehime was asked to do this, the little girl worshiped Chu Xiangqian.

But even so, some small factories and family-run small businesses that live in their daily lives will be squeezed out and they will be unable to get orders, and then slowly die out.

This is actually similar to China in the 1980s and 1990s.

There are always some people who always think that all foreign things are good, regardless of whether they are true or false.

At that time, there were companies in the Magnesium and Island countries that did this. They found Chinese factories to produce OEM products, and then resold them to Chinese people at ten times or dozens of times the price.

It's like doing nothing, just OEM, and making most of the profits from upstream and downstream.

And even 20 years later, European and American luxury goods still use this method to fool Chinese people.

Fortunately, in an era when the Internet is highly developed, ordinary people are not so easy to fool.
-

Back to a week ago, Chu Qianqian returned to the Qianmen courtyard. The whole family sat at two tables. The master, mistress and others looked aside. The half-grown boy and the little kid Ai Qiu at the table all ate too much. Half a bowl.

And Shazhu's skills in cooking this kind of home-cooked food are really impressive.

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

Now let Shazhu go to Hong Kong Island with his chef to open a restaurant. Not to mention more, it is not difficult to earn three to five thousand a year.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian is not short of cooks, but he thinks that letting Silly Zhu stay in the capital and cook for the master and his wife is the best choice. And because Silly Zhu had never seen the prosperity outside, he was very satisfied with the current situation.

The salary at the steel rolling mill is 28.5 yuan a month, and cooking a dinner for Chu Qianqian, his wife, his wife, his uncle, and several others is another 30 yuan a month.

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

Of course, there is still no comparison with first-class or special chefs.

It can reach the level of a steel rolling mill. Even if Shazhu's cooking skills rise to level four, his salary will probably only be this.

Being able to eat with him every night in the Qianmen Courtyard not only saves on rations, but also ensures that there is no shortage of meat for every meal. If you really think about it, he eats better than the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

Silly Zhu really has no reason to be dissatisfied.

After dinner, Silly Zhu, who was smoking a cigarette and left the patriot and the people to pick up the leftovers and wash the dishes, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard his second aunt praise the rain.

At first, he still fantasized about Yu Yu marrying Chu Xiangqian, but when he saw Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng surrounding Chu Xiangqian, he could vaguely see that these two girls were Chu Xiangqian's women. Silly Zhu could only shake his head with regret. , knowing that he had misunderstood the second aunt's meaning.

But considering that he is patriotic, he can endure hardships, and he is very motivated to learn cooking skills. If Yu Yu marries him, it seems not bad after thinking about it.

No, it's not bad, but you can definitely live a good life.

Not only does he not have to worry about food and drink, Chu Qianqian, as the eldest brother, will definitely find a good job for his younger siblings.

And with Chu Xiangqian's ability, let alone steel rolling mills and textile factories, even if he wants to join the supply and marketing cooperative, he can even work in the streets and districts.

After all, Chu Xiangqian had previously transferred his sister Ehime to Jiaodaokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. When Ehime was transferred out of the capital and went to work elsewhere, Chu Xiangqian made connections again and asked his second aunt to take over Ehime's shift. .

This is really not what ordinary relationships can do.

So finding a job for Yuyu was really not difficult at all for Chu Xiangqian.

It's just that if Yu Yu marries into the Chu family, it will be more difficult for him to marry Eyeon.

Getting married is a good thing, but marrying off girls to men in their respective families is always a bit like exchanging daughters to be each other's wives, which is tantamount to selling their daughters.

Silly Zhu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked his second aunt in a low voice, how is Ehime doing recently?

The second aunt became embarrassed when she heard this. Although she didn't know what Ehime and Chu Qianqian were doing in Hong Kong, she 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 could be seen from the way Ehime spoke that the little girl had become more confident.

Needless to say, it will definitely be a successful career.

And look at the high-end coat on Ehime and the ruby ​​necklace on her neck given by her sister-in-law, Xue Jinglan.

On her ears were diamond earrings given by Hong Kong students, and on her wrists, I heard it was a jade bracelet given by another sister-in-law, and I knew that the eldest daughter of the Chu family was no longer what she used to be.

Not to mention Silly Zhu, even the son of the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, whom the second aunt considered an excellent marriage partner, could no longer catch Chu Xiangqian's eyes.

Moreover, in the second aunt's mind, Ehime's marriage depends entirely on the wishes of the eldest brother, Chu Qianqian.

Besides, Ehime didn't like Silly Pillar before she went to Hong Kong Island, and she doesn't like him even more now.

Seeing the second aunt's hesitation, Silly Zhu quickly guessed that she didn't want to hurt him.

He sighed secretly, but fortunately Ehime had no interest in him before, so although Silly Zhu was unwilling, it was not considered sad.

Instead, he thought about it, thinking that if he couldn't marry a girl from the Chu family, it would be a good thing to marry his sister into the Chu family and enjoy the blessings.

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

"Okay, as long as Yuyu nods, I, as the eldest brother, have no objection. But if Patriot is not good for Yuyu in the future, then I, as the uncle, will really beat Patriot."

The second aunt had no objection to this. She herself was a daughter-in-law who married into the Chu family. Even though she was a patriotic mother, she had the same position as Yuyu in terms of loving her daughter-in-law.

"Okay, if he is patriotic and ignorant, not only will I, the mother, whip him, but I will also ask his elder brother to fix this kid."

Silly Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard Chu Qianqian.

It can be said that Chu Qianqian has the final say on everything that happens in the Chu family now.

Looking back at Chu Xiangqian's usual practice in the courtyard, teaching patriotism, love for the people, and love for Lin's martial arts, he would hit her with a wooden stick whenever he was dissatisfied. It can be seen that if he really knew that his younger brother was not good to his wife, he would definitely not favor his cousin.

Yuyu learned about this from Shazhu's mouth, and was hesitant at first, but when Shazhu mentioned Xue Jinglan, Yuyu really stopped thinking.

But whether to marry a patriot or not, the little girl will not be able to turn around so easily.

As for patriotism, he actually doesn't have much idea about his own marriage.

Firstly, he is still young and thin-skinned. Secondly, if a young man of 85 or years old is dressed up like Yuyu, and there is a girl with points, unless he is a real straight man, few will reject it outright.

There were the second aunt and Xue Jinglan, the sister-in-law, who praised the rain from time to time. In addition, Aimin sometimes showed an envious expression, and Aiguo immediately felt that the rain was very good.

On this day, Chu Xiangqian was discussing with his superiors how to prevent the goods exported from China from being restricted by people from the Magnesium and Island countries. After returning home, he heard that Aiguo and Yuyu went to see a movie.

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

Instead, Xue Jinglan asked her second aunt and Aiguo to come to the east wing. After asking them carefully, she made sure that Aiguo really thought the rain was good, and then she made up her mind.

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

That night I went to Chen Huaili's house.

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

I plan to invite Duan Jidong, the section chief of the administrative office, Xu Guiju, the organizational cadre, and Xue Hongmei, Xue Jinglan’s aunt, to have dinner at the street cafeteria tonight.

Nan Yi had actually wanted to find Chu Xiangqian for a long time. Now that he heard that Chu Xiangqian was going to invite several street cadres to eat at the street canteen in the evening, he immediately became active.

According to the ingredients Chu Xiangqian asked Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian to bring, he made fried venison with sauce, white jade crab meat, fire-eye shark fin, and eel in pickled vegetable soup at night, plus 4 side dishes and 4 stir-fries.

Not only was Chu Qianqian surprised by his craftsmanship, Chen Huaili, Duan Jidong, Xu Guiju, Xue Hongmei and the guard Sun also praised him repeatedly.

After Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian finished eating, they could not wait to kneel down and worship Nan Yi as their teacher.

It's a pity that Nan Yi seems to be very talkative on weekdays, but in fact when it comes to business, he cares more about rules than Silly Zhu.

Three years of testing, three years of apprenticeship, and only if you can get his approval within 6 years can you accept a disciple.

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

But Silly Zhu is not a good master.
