After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 509 Forging certificates is the most profitable business

Zhang Yongxiang felt quite guilty about this, saying, "I originally wanted to bring a few friends to the ceremony, since it's the UN headquarters, and many people never have the chance to go there in their lifetime. I just didn't expect them to be so loose-lipped and let it get out."

Zhou Haoran said with a worried expression, "Putting everything else aside, so many of our customers at the Red Mansion Teahouse have come to me, wanting me to help them get in touch with the United Nations and win a big prize!"

Zhang Yongxiang was quite embarrassed by this, because during this period, many people had been trying their best to contact him.

I want to ask him how he managed to contact the United Nations.

How did they win the UN award?

How much money, etc.

Zhang Yongxiang was completely unaware of this. He was lucky to be valued by the Master and arranged for by him. So he tentatively said, "Master, how about... these private enterprises in China have a hard time surviving. If they could apply for more UN awards and get certification, it would be a lifesaver for many companies."

Zhou Haoran scoffed, "Do you think you can just get a UN award whenever you want?"

"I've heard of companies like that..."

Zhang Yongxiang lowered his voice.

The two were drinking tea in the Red Mansion Teahouse, very quietly, with only a tall, long-legged "tea master" standing at the entrance. His voice suddenly trailed off; it must be something that couldn't be brought to light.

Zhou Haoran, puzzled, asked, "What company?"

Zhang Yongxiang whispered, "Every year in China, a batch of well-known trademarks are selected, just like brand certification. Having a well-known trademark means you're a big company. Some people specialize in this business."

Zhou Haoran understood immediately, and smirked, "The Antarctic people have already won the UN Gold Medal, do they still need a domestically certified well-known trademark?"

“It’s not necessary now, I was referring to before.” Zhang Yongxiang said mysteriously, “Someone came to my office specifically to find me, saying that as long as I pay 200 million, he can get the well-known trademark of Nanji Ren by the end of this year.”

Zhou Haoran smiled.

They think all the tricks in the world are the same.

Several years ago, some domestic organizations began to select "well-known trademarks." Initially, it was a very formal process, and those that received certification were large companies like Moutai, Wuliangye, and Haier.

Later, it changed.

Even various regions have discovered the benefits of this "brand certification" and have begun to actively promote it, such as the "famous trademark" program that various provinces are working on.

One is a well-known trademark, and the other is a famous trademark. What's the difference?
It's nothing more than brand hype.

For example, in the previous life, Hengyuanxiang obtained the recognition of "well-known trademark", while its competitor Nanji Ren applied for the "famous trademark" of the harbor.

Of course, all of these require spending money.

As it gradually developed into an industry, many problems arose, leading to crackdowns. These trademark certifications were no longer permitted for use in advertising and were subsequently banned.

This is the UN award that Zhou Haoran created.

It's actually the same old trick.

It's simply that domestically, city-level, provincial-level, and national-level certifications have already been covered, and resources and channels have been obtained by people with connections. So Zhou Haoran took a different approach and went to the United Nations, where he obtained UN certification.

No one is a fool.

With the quality of Nanji Ren's products, can they really beat so many excellent large companies from Europe, America, South Korea, and Japan and win the United Nations Gold Award?

It's nothing more than the behind-the-scenes operations that resulted in obtaining a brand certification.

Is authenticity so important?

The fact that Nanjiren won the UN Gold Medal is beneficial to Nanjiren, to the business environment of the seaport, and will strongly promote the development of the private economy in the entire country...

There are many benefits.

Don't assume others are unaware; even if they are, they should cover it up.

Anyone who dares to expose this is a traitor to the nation.

Another example is the series of conspiracy theories about the West that Jono is currently compiling.

"Two million..." Zhou Haoran's expression changed slightly. "That's really ruthless!"

Zhang Yongxiang said, "It's reasonable to spend 200 million yuan to get a well-known trademark. Some companies can't even find a way to get certification."

Zhou Haoran said, "The most profitable business is issuing certificates, whether it's driver's licenses, medical licenses, lawyer's licenses, accounting certificates, or even corporate certifications."

"Yes, sir, you can do it too!"

Zhang Yongxiang's eyes were burning.

"I?"

Zhou Haoran burst out laughing.

Zhang Yongxiang said in a low voice, "Domestic document processing is all about those with connections; it's their livelihood, and no one else can take it from them. But, sir, you're incredibly capable! Even without those connections domestically, you can get things done at the United Nations!"

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "To get UN certification for domestic companies?"

Zhang Yongxiang said excitedly, "That's right, UN certification is much more attractive than these domestic 'well-known trademarks' and 'inspection-free trademarks,' isn't it? It costs 200 million yuan to get a well-known trademark in China. You charge 500 million yuan for a UN gold medal, but I don't think that's too high!"

"No, no..." Zhou Haoran refused to do such a thing, saying firmly, "They may be shameless, but they can pay to get a fake certificate. I am a gentleman, I have a sense of shame!"

Zhang Yongxiang tentatively suggested, "Why don't you find someone else to do it?"

Zhou Haoran looked at him strangely, "What are you doing? Are you interested?"

Zhang Yongxiang quickly replied, "I don't have the energy for that. I'm already too busy with things at Antarctic. I'm just making a suggestion. Antarctic won the UN Gold Medal, and I'm sure many people are envious and want to go to the UN to receive the award as well."

"Ah."

Zhou Haoran nodded; this was indeed a bit troublesome.

"There are some people you can refuse. There are some people you can't refuse even if you want to. If it's on your shoulders, you have to do it whether you want to or not. Sir, that's the most important thing."

Zhang Yongxiang's assessment of this matter was very accurate.

Zhou Haoran sighed, "Yeah, if they were all private business owners, I could refuse, but I'm afraid they are..."

"Master, if you ask me, you need to quickly come up with an excuse. When someone comes to you, just pretend to be a middleman and act as a neutral party. Let them handle the negotiations; it's none of your business!" Zhang Yongxiang had been through so much in his career, and he had plenty of unorthodox methods.

Zhou Haoran fell silent.

Ok!

From this perspective, it seems we have no choice but to make this money.

The two drank a pot of tea.

Let's set off together for Purdue District.

Nanjiren was going to acquire and integrate two bankrupt state-owned garment factories, a process that required a large amount of capital. Zhou Haoran initially thought that if all else failed, he would try to find a way to raise some money.

It seems that it is no longer needed now.

The Antarctic people have become famous and have become a model for the seaport.

Banks are vying to offer low-interest loans.

"Sir, how is Yi Changping doing?"

Zhang Yongxiang was in high spirits, feeling that he had finally gotten his revenge.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I got it."

"Have they been arrested?"

Zhang Yongxiang was also a ruthless man.

Zhou Haoran said, "The organization is conducting an investigation."

Zhang Yongxiang was relieved and said with a smile, "That's good. Extortion may not be established. Having a reason to investigate is enough. They are all clean even without investigation. Once they are investigated, they will be found out."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "At the very least, it's dismissal, demotion, or exile. If the investigation really gets out, he'll have to spend at least a few years in jail."

"Okay!"

Zhang Yongxiang felt that every cell in his body was functioning smoothly.

I've been having really good luck lately.

Thanks to the great master!
"Sir, what do you think of the 20% equity I mentioned before?"

Zhang Yongxiang tentatively asked for advice.

Zhou Haoran waved his hand, "We'll see."

Zhang Yongxiang was a shrewd man, and whispered, "If it's not suitable for you, you can register it under your family member's name, or your...girlfriend's name, that's fine too. I've heard that many people have nominee agreements."

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "No rush."

I went to Purdue District.

But they found that Uncle Huai was not there.

Upon asking, I learned that District Chief Zheng had gone to the dam to work on flood control projects.

Zhou Haoran's heart skipped a beat.

This was in 98!

So they called Zhang Yongxiang, and they went to the dam together.

Then, I saw several hundred people.

The project is very large in scale.

Zhou Haoran went over without making a sound and asked Uncle Huai why the dam had been reinforced for no reason.

Uncle Huai told him that many places suffered from floods last year, resulting in heavy losses.

Experts suggest that the situation is also uncertain this year!
The harbor area also needs to be reinforced and protected as a precaution.

After listening, Zhou Haoran agreed wholeheartedly, "Yes, we should indeed take this seriously. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River are all poor provinces, and you can imagine how weak their dikes are. Seaports are different; other places can be breached, but seaports must be absolutely secure."

Zheng Xianhuai smiled and said, "We're fine here."

The two walked together on the embankment.

The others naturally lagged behind.

Zhou Haoran looked up at the sky and said meaningfully, "What I mean is that political achievements are determined by comparison."

"Ok?"

Zheng Xianhuai felt that this topic was a bit too much.

Zhou Haoran didn't care at all, and said calmly, "In other places, when floods come, dikes break and collapse, causing huge losses of people's lives and property. Your place is as solid as a rock and has become a model for flood control. Uncle Huai, I think doing this well is more important than building a cultural industrial park!"

Zheng Xianhuai shook his head. "It's not as simple as you think. If the dike isn't repaired and it collapses, it's all the previous administration's responsibility. If it's repaired and the agreement is signed, then all the responsibility will fall on your own shoulders."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Isn't this an economic crisis? The government is spending money to stimulate investment and do more projects that benefit people's livelihoods. This can not only alleviate the economic predicament, but also provide jobs for these migrant workers from other places."

"The fiscal surplus is insufficient. This project will cost 500 million in just two months."

Zheng Xianhuai didn't have that much money either.

Zhou Haoran wanted to push forward with the project, saying, "How about Zhongbo Real Estate invests 500 million yuan to subsidize Pudu District and reinforce the embankments of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek in this area?"

"You'll pay?"

Zheng Xianhuai turned his head in surprise.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I'm investing. If the flood doesn't come and there's no effect, consider it my contribution to the local community. But if the flood does come, I believe the returns will be even greater!"
