Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon - Vol 2 Chapter 504
Chapter 504 Dou E is wronged!
In President Lin’s office, several members of the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce all gathered here.
Lin Huizai was one of the first Wenzhou people to do business in Qinghe. More than 20 years ago, President Lin picked up two socks with snakeskin pockets and came to Qinghe. He set up a street stall on the side of the road and saved his first bucket. gold.
After more than 20 years of hard work, President Lin has long been a big business, and now his career is all rooted in Qinghe. He himself was selected as the chairman of Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce in Qinghe City and became a Wenzhou merchant who worked hard in Qinghe. The backbone.
Seeing that everyone was almost here, President Lin gave a dry cough, cleared his throat, and said, “I am calling everyone over today, mainly to talk about the new textile wholesale mall in Twenty Mile Fort.
When we Wenzhou people come to Qinghe to do business, we started by selling all kinds of clothes and footwear. Now most Wenzhou people are still selling clothes and footwear. Therefore, this newly built textile wholesale mall is a big matter for our Wenzhou people’s jobs. !
A few days ago, President Ma of the wholesale mall invited me to have a meal. He hoped that our chamber of commerce could mobilize some merchants to settle in that wholesale mall. His conditions were that three years of rent and one year of management fees were waived.
I just paid the price, I want to waive the five-year rent and five-year management fee. As a result, there is no more information. It is estimated that the wholesale mall is unwilling to accept this condition.
To be honest, I was not optimistic about the wholesale mall at the time. After all, the location was too biased. Even if it opened, there was no traffic. It must not be able to compete in the current greenhouse market. So I don’t want to let our merchants pass in the bottom of my heart.
But in the past two days, I have heard some news that the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will pass by the west of Ershilibao, and the entrance and exit of Qinghe City will be set up at Ershilibao.
I don’t need to say more about the importance of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. You know that once the road is completed, the northeast of Qinghe City can be sold to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in the north and the Yangtze River Delta in the south, and the goods will be delivered in one day. .
If this news is true, the entrance and exit of the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will be located in Shilibao. When the time comes, merchants traveling from north to south will go straight to the wholesale mall at a high speed. The textile wholesale mall will be on fire! ”
A person next to him said: “I have heard similar news recently, but I don’t know if it is true or not.”
“I have also heard about the expressway entrance and exit at Ershilipu, and I also heard that the city plans to set up a passenger transfer center in Ershilipu to make it easier for businessmen from other places to travel.” Third The man said.
“If this is the case, the greenhouse market will definitely not be able to compete with the Ershilipu Wholesale Mall! Ershilipu’s wholesale mall was originally built and it was large and stylish. Apart from the remoteness, it has no shortcomings. If there is really a highway entrance next to it. If that happens, the passenger flow from other places will inevitably be divided by the wholesale mall.”
“It makes sense. Although people in Qinghe City still go to the greenhouse market for woolen clothes, the market in Qinghe is limited after all. There are so many cities along the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, not to mention there are Beijing-Shanghai. These two first-tier cities! Their demand for textiles has to be hundreds of times that of Qinghe!”
Everyone, you talk, I talk about it.
One person also said: “The question is whether this news is true or not? Don’t forget, this wholesale mall was invested and built by Li Weidong. Although Li Weidong is very young, he has a good deal of business. Will it be him? The false news deliberately released, you want to get us hooked?”
Chairman Lin nodded: “I don’t rule out this possibility, so I’m looking for you today. I just hope you can give full play to your personal connections and inquire about the fact that the highway entrance is located at Shilibao. not true!”
“No problem. I happen to have a cousin who is doing business in the provincial capital. I will call him and see if he can get some news.”
“Our village also has a brother from my own family. He was admitted to the university and stayed in the capital, as if he was in the Ministry of Communications. I asked him to help us find out!”
As Li Weidong said, Wenzhou businessmen are spread all over the country, and they have contacts all over the country. It is not easy to inquire about this kind of news!
……
After Zhao Liang returned to the newspaper, he immediately washed out the photos he had taken, and then quickly wrote a manuscript, and then Zhao Liang took the photos and the manuscript and went to the leader.
“Leader, I personally visited the wholesale mall. It was built in an uninhabited area. The surrounding area was very empty. There were no other people except the people watching the gate! I can guarantee that this wholesale mall is definitely a face-saving project. !” Zhao Liang said.
“Face Project? Have you investigated it clearly?” the leader asked.
“Absolute investigation is clear. There are no vendors in the wholesale mall, let alone customers. I asked some people locally, and they said that after the wholesale mall was built, no one would go there. By the way, I took photos. Please have a look.”
Zhao Liang immediately took out the photos he had taken from his bag.
The leader took a look at the photo, and it turned out to be an empty scene.
Zhao Liang took out the manuscript he had written again, handed it up with both hands, and then said: “Leader, I have already written the press release of this report, please read it.”
The leader took the press release, glanced at the headline, and then took a moment to start.
The title reads “tens of millions of funds to build a “ghost castle”, just for the face of the project! 》
“Ghost castle? Is this what the foreign media said?” the leader asked.
“Yes, that’s how it was described in that foreign newspaper. I think this description is very good, so I used it.” Zhao Liang said.
The leader nodded: “The title ghost castle is indeed very attractive to readers. But in order to avoid trouble, you have to add one sentence, saying that this title is a drinking foreign media report, so that we can also get out of the relationship. Wan. If you are unsatisfied with the above, if you are accountable, we can directly push it to the foreign media.”
“Leadership is still brilliant!” Zhao Liang quickly slapped him up.
“Also, the so-called pictures have the truth. When the time comes, pick a picture and put it in as a picture. Remember to choose the one that looks the most empty.” The leader continued.
Zhao Liang nodded quickly and agreed.
At this time, Zhao Liang was already a little energetic. He instinctively told him that once this news is reported, it will inevitably be a big fire, and the day of his own prominence is about to come.
……
The phone rang, Li Weidong answered the phone, and Ma Zhongyi’s voice came through the receiver.
“Weidong, President Lin of the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce wants to invite me to dinner.” Ma Zhongyi said.
“It seems that the fish has taken the bait. President Lin must have already inquired that the entrance and exit of the expressway will be located at Shilibao.” Li Weidong paused and asked: “Right, you gave it to me last time. What are the conditions for the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce?”
“Three years of free rent and one year of all management fees, which is equivalent to letting them rent for one year in vain.” Ma Zhongyi replied.
“This condition has to be changed. It is changed to two-year rent-free and management fees are paid normally, just like other merchants.” Li Weidong said immediately.
Ma Zhongyi hesitated slightly, and then said: “If this is the case, will the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce be scared away!”
Li Weidong smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you won’t be scared. The more confident we are, the more it shows that the highway entrance is located at Shilibao, which is a sure thing.
So when the time comes, you have to show that the emperor’s daughter is not worried about getting married. The tougher we are, the more people from the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce will rush over! ”
……
Generally, people with social horror will become the actor in lively occasions.
The same is true for Ma Zhongyi. After the three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is set off, and Ma Zhongyi is also an excellent performer.
President Lin raised his wine glass and asked with a smile: “Mr. Ma, you said before that people from the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce in the wholesale mall will be exempt from rent for three years and management fees for one year. You can’t regret it! ”
“Chairman Lin, now and then! It was because the wholesale mall had just started to attract investment, so this preferential condition was only available. Now that the investment is going smoothly, this preferential condition is gone.” Ma Zhongyi deliberately put out a pair The triumphant expression seemed to be full of shops in the wholesale mall.
Sure enough, when President Lin saw Ma Zhongyi’s expression, he felt a little anxious.
“Mr. Ma, we have known each other for some years, so you can’t give us a discount!” President Lin continued; “And we Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, that are all settled in batches. We usually buy things, If you buy too much, you have to get a discount, right?”
Ma Zhongyi smiled and said, “Chairman Lin, if you want to settle in, the conditions are the same as everyone else. The rent is free for the first two years and the management fee is paid normally! But after all, we are old friends. I can leave the first floor away from the gate. The few gold trade positions that you have entered will be left to your chamber of commerce!”
Ma Zhongyi really looks like the emperor’s daughter is not worried about marrying, which makes President Lin even more convinced that the shops in the wholesale mall are definitely high-quality resources. As long as you get a storefront in the wholesale mall, you can definitely make a fortune. .
So President Lin hurriedly said: “Okay, President Ma, I toast you a glass, you can leave me more of this golden business position!”
……
At the call of Chairman Lin, a large number of Wenzhou merchants engaged in the clothing business have signed an entry contract with the wholesale mall.
When the news that the entrance and exit of the expressway were located in Shilibao, Wenzhou merchants were sensitive to realize that their goods can be sold through the expressway, north to Beijing and Tianjin, south to the Yangtze River Delta, plus along the expressway. City, but a market hundreds of times larger than Qinghe.
Wenzhou businessmen are most afraid of opening up new markets. Back then, they could do business all over the country by exchanging chicken feathers for sugar. Now with the platform of wholesale mall and the channel of expressway, Wenzhou businessmen certainly dare to venture into it. Many people are already gearing up to open up the clothing market in first-tier cities after the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway has been passed through.
The actions of the merchants in Wenzhou were quickly noticed by the local merchants in Qinghe.
So the local vendors in Qinghe also began to learn from Wenzhou vendors and settled in the wholesale mall.
Among the local vendors, many people do not know the highway entrances and exits at all, nor do they know why Wenzhou vendors go to such remote wholesale malls. They are simply a herd mentality. They feel that if Wenzhou vendors go, they have to go.
In fact, even if local vendors are told about highway entrances and exits, they may not be able to realize the business opportunities; if they are aware of the business opportunities, there may not necessarily be a few people who have the ambition to enter the big cities.
In terms of business sense, northerners are indeed not as shrewd as southerners, and Wenzhou people are the most business-oriented in the south. In terms of business, Qinghe locals who are honest and responsible are definitely not better than Wenzhou businessmen.
At the time, Qinghe’s stall market was developed by Wenzhou merchants who first came to set up their stalls, and then the locals followed the Wenzhou people to learn.
Now that Li Weidong is engaged in a wholesale mall, he also needs a savvy Wenzhou merchant to be a leader to motivate the locals, so that the wholesale market can quickly prosper.
At the beginning, Li Weidong asked Ma Zhongyi to leak information about highway entrances and exits to the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, instead of local vendors. It was also because the business sense of local vendors was not as sensitive as Wenzhou vendors.
The news was leaked to Wenzhou merchants. They could immediately smell the business opportunities in it, and then swarmed in to cut a stall in the wholesale mall.
If the news is leaked to local vendors, what a local group of naive people can think of is that it will be more convenient to go to the capital to watch the national flag raising in the future.
……
In the new issue of “Nanzhou Metropolis Morning Post”, there appeared an article titled “Huge amounts of tens of millions to build “ghost castles”, just for face-saving projects! “The article.
The term “ghost castle” really attracts the attention of readers, and the face project has always been criticized and rejected. When the face project is combined with the “ghost castle”, it instantly becomes the focus of readers’ attention.
Various media reprinted this article one after another, and the voices of criticism came one after another. Fortunately, there was no hot search at the time, otherwise this news would definitely be the top search.
Moreover, the term “ghost castle” is still derived from foreign media, which means that the face-saving project of the wholesale mall has been embarrassing to be thrown abroad!
This simply hurts national pride.
China at that time was far less powerful than it is now. At that time, Chinese people generally felt that foreign moons were round and everything in foreign countries was good.
For example, the summer camps for foreign children that have been passed on for decades, and foreign toilets are washed seven or eight times. After washing, you have to drink a sip of the toilet water to prove that the washing is clean. It was passed down in that era. And most people believe it.
So since foreign media have said this is a ghost castle, it must be true!
……
Qinghe Textile Wholesale Mall.
Zhang Jiagang led the provincial investigation team into the door of the wholesale mall.
At this time, there is a lively scene in the wholesale mall. Those merchants who settled in are doing simple decoration of their shops and doing some work such as hanging signs.
Zhang Jiagang pointed to the surrounding pavements that were being renovated, and said with a grievance: “Leader, you have all seen it, we are very lively here, there are so many merchants here, what kind of ghost castle is there! What the newspaper says is all about it. Fake! We are more wronged than Dou E!”
