Return to 1958 and build a century-old giant

Chapter 53 Rejection of Investment (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Yang Wendong nodded and said, "Of course, rats are not the only thing in Hong Kong."

An Yongqiang then said: "What if I can sell this mouse trap overseas?"

Yang Wendong asked: "Ansheng, do you have any channels abroad?"

An Yongqiang said: "That's not the case, but I do know some people who have some resources. If there is any interest, there is a possibility."

Yang Wendong said: “For now, I don’t restrict you from selling abroad, it’s up to you.

However, I may also look for exclusive authorized distributors in other countries in the future. If there is a conflict, exclusive distribution will still be the priority.”

In the history of human commerce, except for very few times, such as the mainland's dozen years or so after the reform and opening up, there has been a shortage of goods, leading to the dominance of manufacturers.

Most of the rest of the time, there is oversupply, which means that except for a very small number of international brands and high-tech companies, all others are dependent on channels.

Especially in Hong Kong now, basically all factories rely on distributors. Even for the very popular plastic flowers, Li Jiacheng relies on European and American distributors.

If you want to sell mouse traps abroad, you must rely on local forces abroad.

An Yongqiang nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

Zhao Chengguang said, "Mr. Yang, there are actually many foreign trade companies in Hong Kong. I can introduce some to you."

Yang Wendong smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, but let's consider the Hong Kong domestic market first. Foreign exports are still too far away. Without Hong Kong's local data, it will be difficult for us to convince traders, right?"

Although the sale of your own products will eventually rely on various distributors, it is still necessary to control the risk of dependence, that is, do not rely entirely on one or a few people.

Find various distributors and different people. If possible, it would be best to contact foreign distributors directly. The same is true for Li Jiacheng and some capable or large-scale factories.

Otherwise, it will be completely controlled by local Hong Kong traders.

"That's right." Zhao Chengguang nodded and said, "Mr. Yang, I see that you have just started your business and you don't have much capital. How about I invest a little in you?"

"Invest in me?" Yang Wendong smiled and asked, "Invest in my rat extermination company?"

Zhao Chengguang did not answer directly, but said: "I heard that when Mr. Yang registered the company, he directly registered a bunch of parent and subsidiary companies. It seems that he also wants to do something else?"

"Yes." Yang Wendong nodded. It was too easy for others to investigate such things, and there was no need to hide it.

Zhao Chengguang then asked, "What other business does Mr. Yang want to do?"

Yang Wendong replied: "I haven't thought about it yet. The main consideration is that a rat extermination company will easily reach its upper limit in future development. However, I don't have any ideas at the moment."

This statement is naturally half true and half false. Over the past few months, he has been leading a normal life, and when he has nothing to do, he compares life now with life in the future, trying to see what products do not exist now and are creative.

There are some things I thought of, but it would cost a lot to make some of them.

Another part may be able to be produced, but due to insufficient resources and capabilities, it may not be possible to expand in the short term, which will benefit others. Or even if it is invented, it may be easy for others to bypass the patent.

At present, he has not figured out what to do next, because it must be a small thing with a clear invention patent and a simple structure. Such a creative product is in his best interest now.

Otherwise, it is very likely that you will just be making wedding clothes for others.

However, if one's connections, funds, and scale become larger, then perhaps things will change and the situation will be much better. We will talk about this later.

Zhao Chengguang said: "I want to invest in your parent company Changxing Company, how do you think?" Yang Wendong said tactfully: "Mr. Zhao, it's a shell company, how can you invest? How to set the price? Even if the mouse trap has some value, it is not obvious now.

If the price is too low, I think it is not worth it. If the price is too high, you think it is not worth it. So, even if you want to invest, you should wait until the true value of the sticky mouse board is known before discussing it. How about that? "

"Mr. Yang, don't you even want to listen to the quotation?" Zhao Chengguang asked curiously.

Yang Wendong shook his head and said, "No need. I won't accept investment for the time being."

If the other party offers a low price, then forget it. But if they offer a very high price and you still refuse to agree, you may offend them.

Because you cannot look at things from your own perspective. If a price seems very high to others and you do not accept it, you may be ungrateful.

Although not all investors will do this, there is no need to gamble. After all, the subsequent expansion of mouse stickers in the Hong Kong market still depends on the other party.

Only after achieving success in the Hong Kong market can Yang Wendong use this as a foundation to explore other overseas markets.

Zhao Chengguang also understood what Yang Wendong meant and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later."

"We'll talk about it later." Yang Wendong smiled and said, "I'll treat you at noon later."

"Okay." Zhao Chengguang and An Yongqiang both agreed.

"Let's go, Yiyi, take care of the factory." Yang Wendong said with a smile.

Although the negotiations are a little simpler now, at least the channels of my factory in Hong Kong have been opened up.

Given the previous success of the Wharf Terminal and the subsequent popularity of the sticky mouse board, he was not too worried about the effectiveness of the product.

After seeing off the two distributors, Yang Wendong also started managing his own factory.

At present, the core of the factory is naturally Su Yiyi, Zhao Liming and Lin Haoyu.

Over the past few months, Yang Wendong has taught them to read and count whenever he has time. Now they can basically handle some simple written knowledge. As for their social qualifications, they have also grown during this period in the warehouse and dock.

It was still that shabby little corner room, with a few wooden tables, some plastic and wooden stools, and four people sitting together, looking at the accounts.

It just so happens that he is not busy these days, so Yang Wendong can personally participate in understanding the factory and teach a few more people.

Lin Haoyu suddenly said, "Brother Dong, many warehouses have terminated their contracts with us recently, and Wang Zhixian has also acquiesced."

"Well, that's normal. The rat extermination project itself is time-sensitive. After the extermination, the customer will certainly not spend more money."

Yang Wendong didn't care, so he said: "Let's build the factory first, this is the most important thing, but I won't give up the warehouse business, let's talk about it later."

Lin Haoyu nodded and said, "Okay."

At this time, Zhao Liming also said: "Brother Dong, this is the price I agreed with a wood board factory, take a look."

Yang Wendong took it and looked at it, frowned and said, "It's a bit expensive?"
