My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 255: Still using this to test people is the ultimate killer move

This is a high-standard and efficient investment promotion conference!

It is currently impossible for mainland authorities to do this on their own.

The Great Ying Empire will never allow a country like yours to recruit investors on a large scale in its own territory.

We can only rely on private communication among a few business groups with state-owned backgrounds.

No private or private entrepreneur has the strength, vision and unparalleled confidence to discuss this issue at a gathering of wealthy people of this level.

But Weidong is a sales boss who has always been working on the front line.

I am very familiar with the market and like to simply distinguish by style.

Although his words were biased, they still gave people the impression of being professional. "Shanghai has the most developed economic awareness. If you want to find a high-quality economic partner, it's a good place to start. Pingjing is more suitable for those who prefer the Z-business route, but the degree of risk cannot be judged by commercial standards..."

"The Echang region is well-connected and very motivated to attack from all sides, but it's also quite scattered."

"You may have more contact with people in eastern Guangdong. They are smart and have a strong financial foundation, but their education level is slightly lower. They are also a bit lazy and like to do things but not work."

"But the laziest place is Chengdu. They're so fucking poor, yet they still love to play and brag. I'd even dare to do business in a riverside teahouse where I could brag to the moon over a cup of tea, but after chatting, I'd just buy 50 cents worth of vegetarian food and go home and eat porridge..."

"So I highly recommend Jiangzhou. It has a strong heavy industry base and abundant light industrial manufacturers. It has both the foundation left over from its days as a secondary capital and the momentum of a riverside port city. The Yangtze River allows for cheap distribution of all products to most of the region. The key is the inland southwest region, where competition is less intense. It's truly the best choice for beginners!"

Applause continued to ring out from the front row.

The same words spoken by different people at different times will have very different effects.

First, let's make sure Weidong isn't an official. "Last year, I was just a guy carrying and selling goods at the docks. A partner of mine was arrested for running a trading company. He was imprisoned for over six months under a bunch of names that ultimately weren't finalized. What could I do? I secretly tried to resume his broken business to avoid breaking the contract and paying compensation. But they even came to my house for a talk, and they kept accusing us of capitalism. Tell me, doesn't that drive me crazy? What can I do?"

Lao Gao is so scared, and you come out here and say this?
On the contrary, Director Tang is more stable than him: "What Weidong said must be reasonable. This was the situation a few years ago, and it is also a fact."

Because he could see that all the wealthy Hong Kong people in the audience believed it, and they were worried about this situation, not only about doing business in the mainland, but also about what to do in the future.

Listening attentively and eagerly!
Rang Weidong was also excited, waving his hands and saying: "Oh, it's about cutting off the tail of capitalism. You speculate and profiteer, you short sell, damn it... Oh, I won't say anymore!"

It was the kind of helplessness of wanting to complain but having to shut up, which actually made the whole audience burst into laughter and fall silent. Chi Shiming also has a HK ID card, so if the boss dares to say it, I dare to say it too.

As a result, Wei Dong did an abrupt about-face. "But isn't a good situation one where mistakes are corrected as soon as they are acknowledged? In fact, changes have been made for several years. What can you do in your place? You all run big companies. If you change the sales commission and bonus system, won't there be an uproar from below? If you shift industries and make large-scale adjustments to the business, those mid-level managers, supervisors, and even the second and third in command around you will see their situations and profits affected. Will they resist? The bigger the company, can you give an order and it will instantly change everything? You can't do that. I only have a few hundred people and a few hundred peripheral staff. Changing the commission ratio can cause a commotion! I'm freaking out."

Everyone felt the same way. Yes, if we view the country as a big company, rather than the ideological iron curtain that everyone has always believed, this situation will be easier to understand.

The key is still this timing.

Even after ten years, no one can openly speak to Hong Kong businessmen like this, and top Hong Kong businessmen say this.

Even if I could have spoken at that time, the situation would have been different.

Because this group of top Hong Kong businessmen, no matter how they brag about being a century-old family, the lease to HK is only 99 years. These people are basically the "new rich" who seized the opportunity to rise before and after the Anti-Japanese War.

The 1940s and 1950s were an important period for them to make their fortunes, as they started from scratch in their twenties and thirties.

Therefore, the current process is basically transferring control to the next generation when people are in their fifties or sixties. The second generation, who have never suffered and have not yet fully taken power, have not yet fully taken power.

Letting Weidong talk about the details of his entrepreneurship can easily resonate with these old wealthy people.

There was a time when they were also fighting so hard on the front lines, fighting, selling goods, escorting, and running away from the police.

They could hear the truth in it.

This is very different from their sons who were born to inherit billions of dollars in assets and started directly in the conference room.

Hahahaha, clap your hands loudly!

There was an old guy in his sixties who was still very skilled at whistling!

So when Wei Dong asked back, everyone nodded: "So it took me a year to rise to my current position. What does that mean?"

"Does this mean it's a great time to do business, just like it was back then?"

Wei Dong actually clapped his hands. "Look, he's even answering quickly. The scale of my business shouldn't be a problem, right? When I was selling bacon, I made a few hundred yuan per trip. But after I had the original, I bought 4,000 cameras from the mountains, shipped them to Zhejiang by water for 70 yuan, and then found a grocery store by West Lake. I sold 300 cameras in an hour, 3,000 in a week! Can Hong Kong do that?"

This was the warm applause from the audience.

It was a perfect solution. This was a clever way of using a famous tourist spot to create a big business. Even now, people can copy it, so Weidong didn't care.

It is obvious that he no longer cares about individual sales points or the scale of a certain product.

His heroic spirit was evident in his words: "This comes from the fact that Jiangzhou became an independently planned city in February last year. What does that mean? It's listed separately to enjoy some different policies, but it's not as completely a special economic zone as Pengzhen. We have to test it out bit by bit. Same... Brothers, haven't you heard that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish? The bigger the enterprise, the bigger the country, the more careful you have to cook it. I asked a cultured person, and this small fish in ancient times was the fish in the river. If you cook the fish too aggressively, it will fall apart and cause a big accident. Do you also use drastic measures to expand the scale of the group? You have to do it bit by bit, and I happen to be the man standing on that little bit!"

Now the boss of the Heinz Group probably understands why this young man was given such a high evaluation by the person who assigned him.

Damn, this is the feeling of being the chosen one.

So young and so confident!
He wasn't exaggerating: "Policies are changing bit by bit. There might be some restrictions early on, but if you're late, the meat will go to someone else. Didn't they just release the latest resolution in mid-October to further accelerate economic system reform? What the hell does that mean? It's just urging all departments to move faster. Now we have a better grasp of what can and can't be done. I'm like the guy who follows the tide to pick up fish and shrimp. Come later and watch the sea. So please learn to read these big-picture policies. They're released publicly every few days. Isn't this just like Citibank, which is always making bills, adjusting tariffs, and other things? You can make a fortune by seizing an opportunity to test the edge, and then quietly wait for the next wave."

Almost everyone at this scene is an expert at catching seafood!
You are a newbie who has only been in the industry for a year, a country bumpkin who has never seen the sea in the southwest, and you are talking about this with others.

It's like throwing meat buns at a dog, it's just fattening it up!

Wei Dong really didn't know what to say and what not to say, and whether he could take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits for himself.

He only knows that there are few good Hong Kong businessmen in the country now, and the few that are there are making a fortune without saying anything, and most of them are scammers.

You need fish fry to raise fish in water.

It will take a long time for Qingshui's single-celled organisms to evolve into fish.

Therefore, his words of teaching by example completely stirred up all the wealthy people in Hong Kong to go north to test the waters!
It's thorough!
Almost all of them have arranged people to investigate, contact and collude.

Weidong originally wanted to remind him to try not to use those shady methods, but then he thought it was none of his business, so he didn't say anything.

I smiled and gestured to come down, but was stopped by a group of old rich people and asked to sit at their table and chat.

First, we watched together on the stage as this camera was auctioned for a whopping five million!

Really, Wei Dong's words must have tempted all the wealthy people, because they were all people with above-average IQ and strong business thinking. They agreed with this commodity economy thinking from thirty or forty years later and could not believe that this guy came from the mainland.

They would also think that the mainland now really has this level of awareness.

But when it comes to doing things, most people first send a manager, a mainland expert, or a friend to explore the way. Some people are more mature and cautious and watch others test the waters first.

Of course, there will definitely be people who will rush to get there first.

For example, the man who was determined to win brought along the beautiful girl who had just sung last. She was in her forties and greeted each of the old rich men with a nod and a bow, and then sat down naturally.

He probably felt that the five million was worth it just for the opportunity to sit with the old guys.

Then, in front of the old guys, he said straight to the point: "Uncle De, I want to try the jeans business again. I want to follow Adong's idea and try going to the mainland. Do you think it's feasible?"

He is a decent man. He first spent five million to buy that broken camera, and then sat down to ask if it was okay.

Wei Dong immediately liked the translation and tried hard to control his gaze on the girl. "Jeans? Sure, I guarantee it will. This is a show we can show all the big guys."

The auction is still going on the stage.

But the focus is definitely on the two or three large round tables in the front row.

The man called Uncle De laughed heartily: "Well, since Zhiming has said so, I'll return the jeans to you to take care of. I want to see what kind of situation you young people can come up with!"

It was just when he turned around and winked at some of his peers.

Someone moved his chin towards the beautiful girl.

The amazed look on Wei Dong's face as he stared at the other person for several seconds was played frame by frame in the eyes of the old guys.

I must have thought that he was bewitched by beauty.

Since this is such a stunning young man, and he is so lustful that he has brought two of his young girls with him, we must seize this weakness and attack him fiercely.

They have used this trick time and time again and it works wonders.

So Uncle De turned around and calmly signaled to Zhiming with his eyes the figure next to him: "If you can handle this situation, I will return all the jeans to you."

This is fucking cruel!
