My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 224: Opportunities always come to those who are prepared

At this time, Yu Xiaoqiu came over with two bottles of wine, helped open them and fill them one by one, and sat quietly beside them and listened.

Wei Dong originally wanted to tease the absent-minded driver next to Wu Xi, and wondered if he should also get two bottles of wine, to see if Wu Xi would silently give him a look of concern.

Just think of it as an advance endorsement: "I have a subordinate who suggested to me that since ancient times, there have been only four ways to make money: brothels, dealing cards, lending money, and panaceas. That is, pornography, gambling, drugs, and usury. These are illegal, but in the eyes of smart people, each of them can be evolved into a routine that skirts the legal line."

Wu Xi couldn't help but squint his eyes, and Jin Zhuoqun moved closer more attentively.

Weidong is not afraid of plagiarism at all, or it can be said that this matter is just a matter of time, and it will inevitably appear in the next few years whether he is there or not.

Whether it's Hong Kong and Taiwan businessmen who have long been well aware of this, or someone cleverly figured it out, health supplements are bound to become popular: "Okay, let's not talk about pornography, gambling, and loan sharking, let's just talk about this panacea. What if we develop a health-preserving oral liquid?"

Rang Weidongzhen casually picked up the seasoning bottle on the table and said, "Just after the Olympics, I paid an Olympic champion to drink this stuff. He said his energy and good health are due to drinking this stuff. It's actually just a bottle of sugar water. You said it's five yuan a box, and a box has ten small bottles. Do you think it's profitable?"

Jin Zhuoqun already understood: "As long as the advertising is good, this business will definitely make a lot of money!"

Rang Weidong nodded: "So why do we need to control advertising? It's to prevent this kind of thing. Drinking some sugary water won't kill you, but the psychological effect is that if you drink it, you'll be fine. Isn't this a scam? That's why we need to control it."

"But the devil is always stronger than the good. If you're not allowed to sell sugary drinks or advertise health supplements, can I sell snacks? They'll make me feel better. There are so many ways to do it. As long as the economy is liberalized, it's a constant struggle between control and counter-control. We're racking our brains to find loopholes, while desperately trying to plug them. There's no such thing as a permanent solution."

This is also the concept that tax authorities most often instill. There is no end to tax evasion, and the tax law provisions that are specifically responsible for tracking it will never stop. They are all improving in the struggle with each other.

There can't be any rules that are set and never changed.

Wu Xi was concerned about: "How are you going to join the war?"

Let Weidong demonstrate: "My premise is that if we allow it to be open, then someone will definitely come to make money. Since I understand this situation, why not make a health product that actually works? For a poor area like Shangzhou with few resources, if I can build a health product factory with an annual output value of hundreds of millions or even billions, it will bring about a qualitative change to the entire impoverished area."

Jin Zhuoqun thought he was just speaking in official language.

Wu Xi was more serious: "How can you guarantee that the money you earn will be used to improve the impoverished areas?"

Let Weidong laugh: "Do you know why I am making a fuss about this fake sanitary napkin?"

They all slowly shook their heads, knowing that it was not as simple as it seemed.

He pointed to the factory behind him with his thumb. "As long as they can get a few pieces of equipment and handle the raw materials, anyone can copy my factory. Sanitary napkins are in high demand, and there's a huge gap in the market. It's not difficult to copy and sell them. But I'm taking the money I could have made and putting it into labor costs. Any copycat factory, as long as they exploit the front-line workers, can lower their costs, and I'll probably lose. Do you understand? My factory not only serves the public, but also strives to create jobs and keep workers' incomes high. This is the consequence I'm talking about."

In fact, this was the idea given to him by You Qili at the time.

Since so many workers are employed, let’s make a big fuss.

The core message is: "Of course I want to make money, but I want to expand the scale as much as possible. If I produce one million packs of sanitary napkins a day, and I make one cent on each pack, that's ten thousand yuan, but the worker who handles each pack only makes ten cents. Of those one million packs, one hundred thousand is distributed to countless workers. Do you think I've improved the lives of impoverished areas?"

Wu Xi raised his cup and said, "I toast to you for this improvement. I'll go and see if I get a chance. If you continue to withhold and exploit me, I'll definitely find a way to take your head."

Wei Dong laughed and said, "You said I make 10,000 yuan a day, can I spend it all? I don't like pornography, gambling, drugs, and I hate using it for lending. I just eat at home with my wife and kids, and I rarely have social events. You said I make more than 10,000 yuan, why would I risk my life to earn more? My interest has long been in whether I can create something big and change more people... Hmm? When did it start?"

I originally just wanted to go with you to buy a plane and see the world.

So I am still a little puzzled.

Wu Xi drank up the drink and stood up casually: "Everyone has a process of realm improvement. Lao Jin, just work hard with Rang Weidong. He is your benefactor. See you later. Thank you for the meal today."

Let Weidong bow.

Jin Zhuoqun sat there and thought for a few seconds: "Then I'd better save the TV series first, and let me figure out the advertising company's business later."

He raised his eyes and picked up the wine glass, but saw the beautiful girl sitting next to him. He immediately activated the avoidance skill and drank from it: "I will go find that young man to find out the details of the situation."

Wei Dong was left looking at the girl with eyes full of admiration and tenderness, shaking his head and standing up, not bothering to say anything more.

It's just like what he told his wife, no one was interested in him for the past forty years, but why is he so popular now? It's because he is rich and has a high status.

So I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart.

It's like he had no good feelings towards Zhang Lanzhi in the first place, but later on, the girl was so disgusted with him that she became more pleasing to him.

He is indifferent to people throwing themselves at him.

Now Dong Xueying's weird behavior all day long makes him like her even more.

I went over to talk to my parents. I've been in Kyoto for two months. The purpose is to bring you to the capital for sightseeing, not to make money and open a shop. Do you want to visit Shanghai and Yuezhou?
The parents lamented, "You still want to open a shop over there? You're going to tire your parents out! What are these people doing here today?"

Wei Dong couldn't explain it clearly: "Don't worry about it. Just take a rest and let the helpers run the store. Jiangzhou's store is doing well now. Don't think that the world will stop turning without you."

Dad immediately gave him a headbutt, but not hard. It was mainly because Mom was stubborn: "We're the only ones who can guarantee the taste. If you don't make more money, how are you going to get married? They say your factory isn't profitable, so this is a government-imposed task for you."

He also secretly glanced at the super pretty girl from Pingjing and gestured to his son to look at her, not daring to think about anything else.

Let Weidong laugh: "Yes, yes, it's all a mission. I'm going to make a long-distance call and sleep outside at night."

Dad was disgusted again: "Why are you hanging out outside without staying at home? I bought you a room here, isn't it enough for you to sleep in?"

Yesterday, I was busy talking with those people from Jiangzhou and watching the whole process, so I didn't have a chance to talk to my parents. This made Weidong subconsciously protect his parents from his complicated business.

So now I had taken a step forward, but it got stuck there and I almost fell.

He lowered his voice and leaned closer: "Buy a house? Where?"

His mother was proud: "We bought three rooms in the yard not far from here. We and the shop workers need somewhere to live. These students are so noisy every day, so we saved one for you."

What surprised Weidong was, "Right now, the commercial housing sales are all being tested in Jiangzhou. How could Pingjing possibly be buying and selling houses?"

His mother took out the keys and explained, "We all work at the factory. They heard we were looking for a place to live, so they said we should buy one from someone at the factory. There was a policy last year that allowed your company to buy one. It's only 4,000 yuan. I heard you spent tens of thousands of yuan on hotels before!"

Mainly because I feel bad about the money.

In fact, Wei Dong was stunned by the tens of thousands of dollars he spent. The last time he came with Shen Cuiyue, he knew that the real estate purchase management in Pingjing was extremely strict. Most of these alleys were public housing and there was no right to buy or sell them.

I have talked to reporters who basically live in housing allocated by the newspaper. They said it is difficult to buy a house unless you have a local household registration.

But it was precisely this workshop and factory, which was transferred through the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the paper mill, that skipped the restrictions on private home purchases.

It’s a bit like when he bought the old and dilapidated four-story house in Haochi Street. It was a brief period when the real estate policy was relaxed and commercial housing had not yet started. There may have been no restrictions on units buying houses, and no distinction was made between state-owned units and private enterprises.

There are very few private enterprises nowadays, and his Dongsheng Trading was applied for by Sunshine Daily for the purpose of reporting news.

The same thing happened in Pingjing this time.

Moreover, if there weren't so many old men and women chatting while working in the workshop, it would be difficult to know where the very few old houses with clear property rights after the land reform are hidden in the messy alleys and courtyards around.

When I took a look, I saw that his parents were still doing their best to keep a clean and tidy room for their son.

Of course, the courtyard house is dilapidated and the illegal buildings are so messy that it is unsightly.

If Weidong hadn't known that the courtyard house would be valuable in the future, he wouldn't have even glanced at it.

I could only stroll back and peek in to fool my parents: "That's great, don't... buy it next time. Try to buy all the rooms in the yard. The whole yard is our... factory, and it's convenient to arrange it as a dormitory. There are so many people. If the money is not enough, I will make up for it. I still need to make a phone call."

I didn’t have time to tell my wife that I was safe yesterday.

It was not until he drove out that the couple whispered to each other and secretly glanced at the girl sitting in the corner of the store.

Perhaps because she had never been rejected since she was a child, Yu Xiaoqiu sat there in a daze for a long time.

She then stood up and started to clean the table, and she cleaned up all the dishes and bowls on the table that had just been used for eating. The female helper didn't dare to get close to stop the beautiful girl from the capital.

It was obvious that she didn't do much housework at home. She stumbled and even broke a glass before she managed to pick up all the things and bring them to the kitchen.

The couple had to smile, not knowing what the girl was up to.

Yu Xiaoqiu didn't know what she was thinking, but she put on a gentle and virtuous smile, found an apron to tie on, and started working with the helper.

The store's late-night snack business actually improved a lot, and the couple was so tired that they were complaining about it!

Great fairy, if you come down to earth, please don't cause us trouble and work hard.

Rang Weidong didn't have to work hard. He felt right at home when he returned to the foreign-related hotel. Everyone was greeting him and the lobby manager even accompanied him to the elevator to chat with him, saying, "So you like playing basketball."

I just booked a single room to take a shower and make a phone call.

The family was indeed waiting. The sister-in-law happily answered the phone, but Dong Xueying lazily left space: "You talk to him, I'm listening."

Weidong decided to buy a cordless phone to take home. There was one in Pingjing's foreign-related shopping malls. It must be a famous Japanese brand. It had a hands-free function and could be used everywhere like a mobile phone.

As a result, he felt relieved and people outside started looking for him everywhere.
