Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 51

Xia Xiaoluo thought: "Another honest person! It seems that Luoshui County, a small inland county, has not been eroded by the tide of the commodity economy. People still retain a simple and simple character, and have not become mercenary."

In the end, the two parties agreed that Li Dazui would accept the old sow at a [-]% discount.

A group of people dragged the sow to the Li family compound again.

After some tossing, it was already past twelve o'clock at noon. This time, Mr. Li insisted on letting the four of them stay at home for dinner no matter what, and his attitude was very enthusiastic.

Several people saw that the old man was sincere in persuading him, so they had no choice but to stay.

Mr. Li's daughter, Rongrong, intends to show off her cooking skills in front of her sweetheart. The dishes on this table have put a lot of thought and effort into it, and the results are quite rich, which can be said to be delicious in color, fragrance and taste.

The meals are all common farm dishes, with a few extra pig feet and fat intestines.

Mr. Li sat at the head, and Li Dazui was with him for the last time.

Xia Xiaoluo and the others were very happy because of this incident.

Mr. Li was finally able to sit together with a few young people he admired, chatting about wine and chatting about the mountains, and he was in a good mood.

Li Dazui also thought this young man was good. He lost Qian Xuewen and Xia Tiegui, but he was able to become friends with these people who were destined to be dragons and phoenixes in the future, and he was in a good mood.

Everyone ate and drank, chatted, and enjoyed themselves.

It's just that when Li Rongrong looked at Liu Yue who was chatting and laughing with Xia Qingtian, a moment of unhappiness flashed in her heart, but it was just a flash, and she immediately recovered her happy expression.

After hearing what Xia Qingtian said about Xia Xiaoluo's role in the whole incident, Mr. Li even more admired this little counselor who was "greatly wise and like a monster".

He told everyone to hang out with Li Dazui more in the future, saying that Xia Xiaoluo and others are good teachers and helpful friends, far beyond what Qian Xuewen and others can compare.

The few people received such praise from the respected old man of the Li family, they were all very excited, and they were also planning to do something big if they had the opportunity.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiaoluo and the others got up to say goodbye, and Mr. Li and his children sent the four of them far away before returning home.

Four people, two bicycles, galloped on the dirt road in July, smelling the fragrance of the crops, talking and laughing, the three of them kept praising Xia Xiaoluo, saying that he had many ideas and was very smart.

Xia Ergou occasionally ridiculed Xia Xiaoluo, it was just because of his unyielding and joking personality, in fact, Xia Qingtian admired Xia Xiaoluo even more than Xia Qingtian in his heart.

As soon as Xia Xiaoluo entered the uncle's house, she asked, "Uncle, where did the Wenzhou boss go?"

"Oh, he went fishing in Xiwa."

Xia Xiaoluo took Xia Qingtian's extremely cool Flying Pigeon brand "BMW", and rode straight to the pond on the west side of the village.

When I got to the pond, I saw my little uncle Wang Dali sitting on a rattan chair under a big luxuriant locust tree by the pond, dozing there, throwing a fishing rod on the ground, looking at ease .

Xia Xiaoluo was angry in her heart, and thought, you can really enjoy it!

Walking up to him, he coughed heavily. Wang Dali was startled awake. Seeing that it was Xia Xiaoluo, he immediately took off the disguise of "Big Boss of Wenzhou", humbled himself, stood up, and said, "Xiao Luo, come here!" Yes, you sit, you sit."

Xia Xiaoluo sat down without hesitation, and said, "I have something important to tell you today."

Wang Dali took out a box of Red Flag Canal from his white shirt pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Xia Xiaoluo, Xia Xiaoluo took it, he helped Xia Xiaoluo light it, then lit a cigarette for himself, and asked : "What's the matter?"

This action was done extremely naturally. Obviously, in his mind, Xia Xiaoluo was regarded as an adult who could discuss matters with him on an equal footing, at least an adult psychologically.

Xia Xiaoluo was also a heavy smoker in his life before his rebirth, but in this life he vowed to maintain a healthy body, so he suppressed his urge to smoke, and never smoked when he was extremely bored and needed to use cigarettes to refresh himself.

Xia Xiaoluo said seriously: "This is a matter of getting rich."

When Wang Dali heard about getting rich, he became energetic. You must know that he used to say the phrase "Believe it or not, I will get rich soon", although he is now in a difficult situation. , but he never gave up his deep pursuit of wealth.

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Have you seen the garment factory in their village? What do you think of that factory?"

Wang Dali sighed, and said: "Hey, I thought you had some good ideas, so you had the idea of ​​building a factory! It's not interesting, there are only more than 20 sewing machines, what can you do? Do you want to make sewing machines that they can't sell? Those clothes that went out?"

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Is the equipment easy to use?"

"The equipment is in good condition, but their clothes are ugly..."

"As long as the equipment is good, we don't make clothes, we make toys!"

"Toy?"

"Yes, the 11th Asian Games is about to open. If we sell the mascots of the Asian Games, the sales will be very hot! Panda Panpan, you know that?"

In 1990, patent protection was still far from perfect. Although the first "Intellectual Property Law" had been promulgated in 1986, the enforcement link was still very weak, and the law was only in writing and had not been implemented.

The first intellectual property lawsuit didn't appear until 1998, and Huaxia's patent protection has always focused on technology, while the protection of cultural creativity and artistic works has been seriously lagging behind. How can Xia Xiaoluo not take advantage of this big loophole? ?

Wang Dali said in his heart, this method is not bad, this kid's vision and business acumen are a hundred times stronger than his father's, but he also has his own worries, saying: "We want to buy that factory, but it will cost a lot of money. !"

You must know that sewing machines were one of the three must-have items for families in the 80s. One set cost several hundred dollars, and [-] sets cost tens of thousands of dollars.

"Why do we want to buy this factory, we let them do it!"

"OEM? What is OEM?"

Xia Xiaoluo stood up and said with burning eyes: "OEM means that we are only responsible for design and terminal retail, we don't own the equipment, we don't produce it ourselves, we place an order for this garment factory that has stopped production, and let them do it according to our design. Toys, we pay them OEM fees on a piece-by-piece basis.”

This is debatable, because according to his thinking, the design of this product is not done by them, they are a complete infringement and plagiarism.

It's just that Xia Xiaoluo can completely conclude that, given the legal environment at the time, this kind of plagiarism will not cause trouble.

Wang Dali scratched his head and said, "This... this is a bit like those leather bag companies I saw. Is this a lie?"

OEM has become very common in the future 21st century. Even internationally renowned luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci also adopt the form of OEM from Chinese-funded enterprises to take advantage of China's cheap labor.

In the 21st century, the hourly wages of workers in overseas garment factories are about 20 US dollars, and the working hours are fixed; while the wages of Chinese workers are very low, and the labor cost is only 1/20 of Italy and other high-welfare countries in Europe and the United States, and they can often work overtime.

The cooperation with domestic authorized manufacturers also saves the huge investment in fixed assets that luxury goods companies need when expanding the production scale of their products.

But in the 1990s, this phenomenon was not common, and even a bold and open-minded person like Wang Dali could not accept it for a while.

Xia Xiaoluo said: "How can it be considered fraud? None of us cheated, and the product quality must be guaranteed. The biggest advantage of doing this is that it avoids the initial huge investment, reduces uncertainty, reduces our risk, and makes full use of it. our funds."

Wang Dali scratched his head, feeling that what Xia Xiaoluo said was logical, he pondered for a moment, and praised: "Well, this idea is good, but I don't have much money?"

Xia Xiaoluo didn't want him to invest at first, so she asked, "How much money do you have?"

"I have more than 1000 deposits in total!"

Wang Dali said with a little embarrassment.

Xia Xiaoluo was a little depressed, and thought, you bragging every day, you thought you made a lot of money, so there is not much dry goods.

Xia Xiaoluo said: "Actually, this matter is not without risk, because we have the possibility of copyright infringement. If we make money, we will definitely make a lot of money, but if we are caught, we will lose a lot!"

The insidious and cunning Xia Xiaoluo deliberately emphasized the risks. In fact, he wanted to frighten Wang Dali and prevent him from buying shares, and wanted to monopolize the company's shares. When he said this, Wang Dali really hesitated, saying: "This... this... Stop doing it?"

Xia Xiaoluo gave him a contemptuous glance, and said: "Look at your cowardice! In ancient times, wealth and wealth are sought in insurance! Otherwise, let's set up a company, and you won't hold shares. I will pay, and you will be a professional manager. I will also bear the responsibility!"

Before he knew it, he said another word that was familiar to later generations but was quite new at the time—professional manager.

Sure enough, Wang Dali asked, and Xia Xiaoluo explained: "I pay the money, you help me run the business, and I pay you wages."

"Oh, it's your boss, I'm the shopkeeper!"

Wang Dali has a high understanding of business.

"Yes, that's what it means. The salary I will give you is definitely not low. I will give you... two hundred a month."

"two hundred!"

Wang Dali felt that this figure was very attractive. At that time, the cadres at the division level were only paid by this amount. The most important thing was that he didn't have to take any risks. This salary was also much higher than what he was paid by the Xinyang City Trading Company.

"If our company does well, I can give you 20.00% of the shares at that time."

In fact, the "Company Law" was still in the making at that time, and it would not be promulgated until 1993, three years later. However, people like Wang Dali, who are trendy in the era, have already heard of it.

After a lot of coercion and temptation, Wang Dali began to agree with this good proposal, but he still asked worriedly: "Xiao Luo, where did you get the money? Even if you buy raw materials, cloth and cotton, this figure is not small."

Xia Xiaoluo said proudly: "Uncle, now I am also a millionaire, and I have [-] savings in my passbook!"

"Twenty thousand!"

This number almost scared Wang Dali to the ground.
