My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 246: Opening the Third Eye is not a reason to be lazy

The Guangzhou-Kowloon Line enters Hong Kong via Pengzhen and takes three hours to reach its terminus.

Rang Weidong slowly told Chi Shiming about his jump from selling cured meat to selling non-ferrous metals across thousands of miles. He did not specify what he sold, but he accumulated knowledge from Jiangzhou to Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang.

In the process, he started a camera business in West Lake, went to Pingjing to find domestic film, and discovered college students from the symposium as the starting point of his sales network.

When Shen Laosan and Feng Chu took turns carrying cups to get hot water, they took care to serve it to Rang Weidong.

Lao Zhang and his friends looked outside and saw that the area from eastern Guangdong to Pengzhen was all green farmland. Even after crossing the border and entering HK territory, they still saw wild weeds all over the mountains.

Rang Weidong has already talked about how to use the sales of sanitary napkins to appease government agencies in various places, and let the student sales staff who were basically part-time before officially join as branches, and further integrate into the supply and marketing cooperative system, to ensure that the current daily shipment of about 600,000 packs can be basically sold out, and this shipment volume will soar to one million packs by the end of next month.

Because the second phase of the factory in Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone has been completed and put into production, a production plant of this scale needs to be built to the sixth phase.

At the same time, the construction of the factory dormitory building has begun, but the details of how to rent and sell it to employees still need to be considered.

Rang Weidong was teasing her on purpose.

He first used his magical sales steps to overwhelm Chi Shiming.

I'm sure you used to think you were ahead of your time and had grasped a golden path.

Unexpectedly, there was a farm boy who started later than him, had a lower starting point, and could only carry bacon out from the countryside to sell.

It took only a little over a year to reach its current scale.

As a fellow backpacker, I have to admit that.

Weidong was paying close attention at the moment, probably because they were all young men in their twenties. Chi Shiming didn't have the expression of You Qili. I heard everything, but I still insisted on my system attitude, and he didn't have the life experience of Jin Zhuoqun. How could his personality change because of you?

They are all middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. Their personalities and outlook on life have become solidified. They are extremely proud in their hearts and think that everyone around them is an idiot. It is difficult for them to bow their heads.

But Chi Shiming was very gentle. Even though he was overwhelmed with emotion and impressed by what he heard, he just nodded slowly and was very focused.

He also showed an expression of deep thought and gratitude for Rang Weidong's repeated emphasis on circumventing the law, paying taxes, and avoiding seeking illegal profits as much as possible.

Wei Dong deliberately didn't ask him what the goods were, but he made it very clear to him that walking at night for a long time would lead to ghosts. He was lucky that nothing happened now, but he would be completely finished if he made a mistake once.

So he was very careful in this regard.

Chi Shiming is already the kind of person who listens to orders and does what you say.

But the greatest brilliance in his eyes came when Wei Dong deliberately mentioned that he was the first to come out of the world, and should be the first in the country to come out of the exploratory real estate development company in Jiangzhou. He bought 180 houses and "resold" them to collect mortgages for employees, and then built his own dormitory building to test the laws and regulations of the real estate market.

Chi Shiming couldn't resist asking to join: "Hong Kong is our real estate model. During my two years of high school in Hong Kong, all I saw were various real estate advertisements. I studied their sales operations very carefully and meticulously. As long as the land policies in China are relaxed and we can develop real estate, I will definitely be able to succeed!"

Xiang Xiang also emphasized, "I'm doing this with you. I have a little capital now. If I just want to live like this and be content with a small fortune, that's fine. But I want to become a real estate tycoon, just like these Hong Kong real estate tycoons. We can do it too. You have the capital and connections, so you're the boss. But as for how to do it specifically, I've been learning and thinking about it for the past few years. Every time I travel back and forth from Jiangzhou to Hong Kong, I rely on thinking about this to persevere."

Weidong empathized with her and laughed out loud, "Yeah, this backpack-style trip back and forth carrying goods was a bit exciting at first, but then it got really boring. I had to use how much money I made every hour to pass the time."

Maybe there is finally someone in this world that Chi Shiming can trust 100%. The young man who was so gentle just now nodded vigorously while holding his bag!
"Yes, yes! Let me tell you, at first I made the trip every two weeks. If I wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, I would have gone back and forth once a week. Now I only make the trip once a month. Whenever I think about hitting the road, I procrastinate and have difficulty. Hehe, now it seems like I feel completely different. When you go back, I'll go with you!"

Maybe it’s loneliness, or maybe it’s the unknown caution.

Rang Weidong appeared in Chi Shiming's life at almost the most appropriate time.

This young man's upgraded version of traveling thousands of miles to sell bacon has been going on for two years.

We are just waiting for the real estate policy to be broken.

As a result, the deputy director of Jiangzhou Real Estate Reform Committee, the most advanced one in the country, was standing right in front of him.

How could he not bow?

He stood for nearly three hours without feeling tired. He skillfully guided Weidong and the others through customs. As he held a HK residence permit, he went directly through the inspection-free channel for HK residents.

Weidong and his men had to undergo serious Royal Police and Customs inspections.

While waiting in line, Lao Gao from the Foreign Affairs Office half-reminded and half-helplessly said, "Some comrades were arguing during customs about how this is our place. When working abroad, you still have to pay attention to the methods and procedures."

After hearing this, Weidong and his team felt fortunate that they didn't end up on the same path as this idiot.

When they came out, they were already behind the Hong Kong Kowloon Hung Hom Sports Stadium. Of course, except for Rang Weidong, none of the partners knew what these two words meant.

At first, the young star-chasing people in the bureau dared to come to watch the concert on weekends, but later they all despised and disliked this place.

Who could have imagined that forty years would see such dramatic changes?

Standing on the suddenly bustling street, Wei Dong was filled with emotion, but he lacked literary talent, so he could only utter "Fuck".

It feels similar to my impression of Hong Kong forty years later. It is already so advanced, developed and beautiful now. No wonder people all over the country will be singing "I Want to Go to Hong Kong" in ten years.

Who could have imagined at that time that forty years later, any prefecture-level city would have this kind of style, or even be more advanced and developed, but this place has been changed dramatically.

And Rang Weidong was sighing about traveling through time and space, as if he saw a different style of the familiar metropolis.

The other friends must all look as stupid as me.

Chi Shiming waited by the roadside with the bag hanging from his chest: "I'm going to deliver the goods. Call me after you find a place to stay. Actually, I suggest you stay here..."

He took a handwritten address and pointed in the direction. "It's right here, near Temple Street. It's a very cheap, ordinary hotel. I think it's more convenient for you to experience the real Hong Kong. Of course, there are better hotels too. The most important thing is that it's close to the newly opened MTR line station, so you can take the MTR to the most important places like Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, so you don't have to take a taxi and spend a lot of money."

Rang Weidong smiled and nodded: "Let's go shopping first and feel it. If it's convenient, we can have dinner together in the evening."

Chi Shiming immediately agreed, waved his hand and disappeared at the nearby subway station entrance, and pointed to the station sign from a distance to Rang Weidong.

It is obvious that this is to emphasize and remind him to make good use of public transportation in HK.

Nonsense, do you really think Rang Weidong is a country bumpkin from the mainland who is at a loss here?

Of course, he has never been to these places.

But on the contrary, this commodity society with subways, buses, taxis, and everything that can be bought with money is what he is familiar with.

Comrade Gao has been to HK several times. He is responsible for accompanying Jiangzhou on business trips and also asked whether they want to take the subway. Of course, taking a taxi is also fine, since the entrepreneurs pay for it anyway.

Weidong deliberately delayed and went to a convenience store near the station to buy a map, drinks, and exchange Hong Kong dollars. There was already a currency exchange shop run by Indians at that time, so he took out all his money and exchanged it for me.

In Yuezhou, I also asked He Yuemei for an additional 20,000 yuan in cash. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Chi Shiming how to solve the problem of carrying money.

The six companions, including Comrade Gao who had been here several times, all stared at Weidong in amazement. It was clearly his first time here and he was obviously unfamiliar with the place and could not speak a word of Cantonese or English.

But he just dared to make a few random gestures, using a calculator to tell the other party, "OK, OK, OK," and then he exchanged 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!
He turned around and commented: "Look at them, how convenient it is to have 500 Hong Kong dollars in denominations. We have to use a whole stack of them to get them. Come on, give each of us 1,000 Hong Kong dollars first, use them as you like but you have to report to me."

Of course, they were mainly 100-yuan and 10-yuan notes. I only kept two or three 500-yuan notes for myself. He was also very considerate and exchanged them for 200-yuan coins and distributed some to everyone. It was very convenient to pay by coin when riding the bus or making phone calls.

But these are not used in the mainland, and everyone just sat there with their hands spread out like beggars, watching him put the money into his hands.

It was obvious that this was his first time as well, but he didn't seem to be at all flustered or uncomfortable.

Wei Dong himself couldn't explain this sense of ease and familiarity. "I've heard them say a lot on business trips to Shanghai and Yuezhou. It's OK. The official exchange rate at the Swan Hotel in Yuezhou is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars for 28,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in reality, you'd be lucky to get 14,000 on the black market. It's a good deal, so we cut it in half. But here, we get 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is very fair."

Then he looked at the map and skillfully found the location of the Hung Hom Stadium. After confirming his position, he pointed in the direction of Temple Street suggested by Chi Shiming: "Let's go, walk there."

Comrade Gao hurriedly said: "We can't change the direction and purpose at will. There are still comrades waiting to receive us."

Wei Dong confidently showed him the map and said, "Yes, we are just being frugal. We have to walk to the station over there. Two or three miles is not far. Why don't you give them a call and let them know. You will be watching over the whole way and won't run around."

Shen Lao San and Feng Chu immediately chirped: "Yes! I like walking!" "Just walk over there, I really want to walk and take a look, it's nothing particularly important."

Old Zhang also joined in: "Director Tang, how about we take a walk? I'm mainly here to inspect the renovation work, and I brought a camera and film to take pictures. I can't take many pictures just by riding in the car."

Wu Shengyun, who had been a bit of a bystander and didn't know how to fit in, simply went in the same direction.

Lao Gao had no choice but to agree.

Rang Weidong had no ill intentions. "When I started my business at the Jiangnan factory in Jiangzhou, I walked through all the factory areas. Later, when we moved to Pingjing, we visited many universities. In Yuezhou, we also walked several kilometers from the Guangdong Trade Fair Complex to the Swan Hotel. Only when you personally measure a place can you remember how it was done. This is the basic skill of all our sales staff."

Learning should be done bit by bit.
