My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 265 What kind of feelings are you talking about? They are so fake.
To Weidong's surprise, he didn't even mention playing cards.

Qin Yuye heard her brother convey this information last night, and the three men played Landlord for several rounds there.

Lao Heng was in his sixties. He smiled and motioned for the young people to come and sit down. They could all speak Mandarin.

Two of them had obvious northern accents, probably inherited from the older generation who fought during the Anti-Japanese War: "In just one year, your business has grown tremendously."

Weidong actually scoffed at his companion with disdain: "Do you know that there's a shipping tycoon in Jiangzhou? He was the leader of the Yangtze River shipping during the Anti-Japanese War. After that, it became a public-private partnership. Do you know what a public-private partnership is? Damn, they just took him in. Several of his children are working and teaching. This time, they called him out from the classroom and told him to take over the company..."

Qin Yuye was a little stunned. Are you really that awesome?!

If I had given a speech at the charity dinner yesterday, it could have been considered a grand speech.

Now they are communicating face to face with tycoons worth tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Except for these tycoons of the same class, everyone in HK is terrified and respectful when facing them.

Even if they are from the mainland, you should speak nicely to them.

Now, I heard the other person say that his business was booming, but this guy immediately turned around and laughed and scolded me, just like the same level, with no generation difference?!

In fact, for someone like Weidong who had attended economic conferences in Pingjing, he really didn't take the Hong Kong businessmen, whom he didn't like very much, seriously.

The most important thing is that the content of his conversation was too explosive.

I haven't heard of it either.

No matter how much the official authorities say, we still don’t know the actual details of how the mainland actually deals with capitalists.

What was said at the beginning was how public-private partnership was implemented in the 1950s. For example, small stalls with no influence like Liujin Photo Studio don’t matter, but large-scale ones must be cleaned up.

But now if you need it, you have to take it out from under the bed.

Weidong had been in frequent contact with the shipping magnate's descendants during this economic conference. The fact that they were always brought along to city meetings made it clear: "There's something wrong with the state-owned system. My conclusion is that production is OK, and consumers aren't that poor. Wages are low, but there are too many people. So the problem lies in the middle link of distribution and sales. This is why the recent meeting emphasized the need to accelerate economic reform..."

Wei Dong didn't know whether these people had military advisors who could interpret the policies.

Even if there is, the error in interpretation may be large.

He has first-hand information and first-hand feedback. Even economic conferences like to listen to him, not to mention several business tycoons who have never visited the mainland market.

Just treat it as a joke.

"The state-owned sales department is outrageous. I'm getting paid anyway, and they can't fire me, so I'll just slack off and buy whatever I want. The people below me think so, and the management is pretty much the same. It doesn't matter if the business is doing well or not, or if the products sell well or not. The salary won't increase by a few cents anyway, and if I make a mistake, I'll lose my job, which wouldn't be worth it..."

These people listened so attentively that Weidong wondered if I had leaked a secret.

He quickly retracted his words: "So the conclusion now is that we must develop the private economy. That's private business owners, what we used to call capitalists. Because only when they own their own business will they work hard and pay attention, right? The official language is to take public ownership as the main body, with the private economy and other forms of ownership as supplementary. So we need to have a few private entrepreneurs as role models. But I'm being genuine, and he's being fake...hahahaha."

He is truly ignorant and fearless. Jiangzhou pulled in the descendants of that shipping tycoon and gave them such great support, and later listed them on the Hong Kong stock market, but they were still not as popular as him.

Because he spoke from the perspective of a private entrepreneur: "Really? Don't disbelieve me. It's been about the past two years. Last year, I set up a stall to sell things. Well, it was like the Temple Street Night Market. There was a risk of being arrested, but you have to consider the location and who runs the stall. It's fine in Yuezhou City, but Shanghai wants you to focus more on internationalization. Pingjing is greatly affected by various factors. Jiangzhou is the easiest right now, but the districts, counties and cities below Jiangzhou are very difficult. The country is too big, and there is definitely a process for transmission and implementation. If the Governor gives a command, can the entire Hong Kong community immediately comply? It can't be done, right?"

He even pulled his "girlfriend" to prove it: "Where was the place you took me to board the ship today?"

Qin Yuye listened with some difficulty but said seriously: "Saigon, Saigon Shawan."

Rang Weidong hummed, "I've noticed that the sanitation details there, like the trash cans and stuff, aren't as good as in Tsim Sha Tsui or Central, right? If you extend this difference to the entire country, wouldn't it make sense?"

When he said this, the wealthy immediately understood: "Don't people in Hong Kong get caught selling fish balls? They're caught because they're not operating in the designated areas, and they don't pay taxes or management fees. Of course they get caught. If we do business in mainland China and pay the required fees, then there won't be any problems, right?"

Weidong had already gotten the point; he didn't know the limits of the Foreign Affairs Office. "For a country this big, reforms must be tried out piecemeal. Pengzhen and Yuedong were attempts, Shanghai, Haiping, and Beijing were attempts, and Jiangzhou is experimenting with heavy industry. And there's an economic development zone, which doesn't exist anywhere else in the country. This economic development zone is like a small special zone that the state allows the city to control. Taxes and fees are as preferential as possible, and management is based on internationally advanced standards. There's a lot of autonomy. I've taken 100,000 square meters to open a factory..."

The wealthy can easily understand: "It's just like a shopping mall. We invite all parties to open counters and brands to move in. Got it, got it. Keep going."

Let Weidong start by talking about his own sanitary napkin factory, where he got the equipment, how he copied it, how he expanded it, and what he did after it was copied.

Of course, he would not say that he mobilized the power of the media. He only said that he had the entire factory's production capacity towed away by barge. The incident became a big deal, and the city was furious and investigated, and still gave the entrepreneur fair treatment.

So it is really not reliable to just listen to lectures on success.

But for the wealthy in Hong Kong, this is an eye-opener. It turns out that you can actually argue for your rights. We thought it was just like the iron palm water walker. Although the drama has not yet been released, it expresses this attitude.

Wei Dong laughed. "You've been scammed, haven't you? Rich people of your level, going to the provinces... Yes, my advice to you is that for now it's best to only deal with the provincial level. Some people down there haven't changed their minds yet, so spend a few years getting familiar with it and then move on to the lower levels. At least now you're treated like honored guests at the provincial level. Whoever painted it in such a scary light for you probably fears you'll steal their business. Right now, it's all small Hong Kong businessmen scamming people!"

The main reason is that Wei Dong's narration of his "success story" is too clear and accurate. Selling cameras, selling sanitary napkins, and advertising on brick-and-mortar platforms are all scenes from the 1950s and 1960s that these old wealthy people are familiar with.

They quickly realized that this was a huge market that was opening up.

It is certain that we are not making as much money as in the international market right now, but this development and cultivation process from zero to one hundred will have a huge future.

Isn't it true that when doing business, you should buy on dips?

This is the lowest point since it opened.

Unconsciously, the exchange in Weidong turned into an investment promotion conference similar to that where mainland counterparts came out to share experiences.

Not sure if Qin Yuye was surprised at the scale of her "boyfriend's" business, or for some other reason, but the hand she was holding moved slightly, making Weidong think she was giving him a hint.

Casually mentioning the jeans business, "I also visited the colorful jeans store today. I've decided to partner with... the Yuye siblings to open a factory. Let's get annual sales up to 10 million pairs as soon as possible."

This goal seemed easy to achieve for Weidong. Jeans that were durable, wear-resistant and fashionable were very suitable for the people in the mainland in the 1980s.

Anyway, he was only going to sell them for twenty or thirty yuan each.

But for the jeans market that is used to prices of one or two hundred, or even three or five hundred, this is a production value of billions, or even tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars!
Qin Zhiming achieved the peak annual output value of HK$1 billion by selling most of his products to Citibank, Southeast Asia and West Asia markets.

Can the poor mainland do it?

This was really a bit unbelievable to Hong Kong businessmen in 84.

Rang Weidong listed the sales of his cameras, sanitary napkins, prepared foods, tape recorders, and the latest SOD honey skincare products. "Like I said, the biggest problem here is the sales system. So I started tinkering with this at the beginning of the year. Now we have hundreds and even thousands of salespeople. Just wait and see! I dare say this is currently the strongest and oldest sales network in China."

Here are Lao Heng’s two good poker buddies, who are wealthy people, plus two or three group executives, such as board members.

They are all old wealthy people, so it is not difficult for them to confirm the value of this young man.

Someone even looked at Qin Yuye without hesitation and said, "Are you two dating or not? I have a friend's daughter who I'd like to introduce to Xiaodong. Young people should get to know each other."

Cognition.

Even if Wei Dong was just bragging, he knew that in the mainland where there was no rivals, the probability of winning was very high.

The key is that he is so familiar with the policy tightness and even has a bit of participation in the policy. If he had strong financial support from his wife's family, he would definitely win!

Qin Yuye was a real actor. He quickly revealed a shy yet bold expression and hugged his arms tightly. "We've already started dating! He promised me that I'm going to the mainland with him to meet his parents in a few days!"

As for the Cantonese language, Weidong was not that surprised. He just felt a pain in his arm. If you hit someone with the ball, you must stand firmly and accept the collision for it to be considered a foul.

The old rich people just think I'm lost. Is someone giving me some advice and directions?
Some people started to think about it.

But before he could say anything, the real owner, Lao Heng, finally spoke up: "What about the real estate situation? We've contacted various parties, and they've all been vague..."

That’s right, for the Heinz Group, they hardly engage in manufacturing and retail business, and real estate is the main source of fat for these old wealthy people in Hong Kong.

Rang Weidong laughed out loud: "You've asked the right person. First of all, I'm the deputy director and consultant of the Jiangzhou Real Estate Reform Committee..."

At this point, the twenty-year-old young man had just finished speaking when a group of capitalists had already begun laughing and applauding in celebration!
They must all think that it would be most reliable to find a daughter to marry.

The one who had already said that she wanted to meet her parents had her beautiful eyes flashing.

So capitalists don’t have any feelings, it’s all business.

This is just like the people in the underworld, who only talk about mutual interests and life-and-death matters, which is actually simpler.
