After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 643 The Eight Fairies Crossing the Sea

There's some truth to the saying that heroes often come from humble beginnings.

The less educated a person is, the more emotional they tend to be.

Therefore, they value loyalty even more.

The elite class, primarily driven by rationality, discusses matters primarily concerning their own interests.

Therefore, the primary consideration in dealing with Yu Zhaolin is self-interest.

The situation is quite different when dealing with Antarctic people.

Zhang Yongxiang of Nanji Ren had always wanted to give Zhou Haoran a large number of shares as a way of thanking him for his huge contributions to Nanji Ren, amounting to as much as 30%!
Zhou Haoran did not accept.

It's not that I don't want it.

The timing wasn't right.

This winter, the brand value of Nanji Ren, which has been "accumulating strength and then unleashing it", has finally been demonstrated.

In the thermal underwear market, Nanji Ren has almost become a monopoly.

It's not just Yu Zhaolin; it's fair to say that all thermal underwear brands, both domestic and international, are in complete disarray. Only Nanji Ren's thermal underwear remains a reliable commodity in the market.

Distributors from all over the country line up every day to pick up goods from the Nanji Ren headquarters.

This also led to a surge in sales of other winter clothing items from Nanji Ren.

Conservative estimates suggest that Antarctic's sales will exceed 20 billion yuan this winter!

They'll make at least 5 million in net profit!
Zhang Yongxiang did not break his promise despite the company's explosive growth.

He came to the Red Mansion Teahouse once again.

Zhou Haoran has been found.

Hopefully, he can officially join the board of directors of Nanji Ren and share 30% of the shares.

This time, Zhou Haoran did not refuse, as it was what he deserved. He agreed, saying, "Then let's get this done after the Spring Festival."

Zhang Yongxiang was overjoyed upon hearing this and shook hands with him, saying, "That's wonderful! Sir, from now on, we are truly family!"

"Nanji Ren has been doing well recently, but they should still speed up their pace."

Zhou Haoran offered his guidance.

"Should we accelerate further?" Zhang Yongxiang asked with some concern. "Nanji Ren is launching new projects one after another and expanding rapidly. Many people are reminding me that blind expansion is very risky and suggesting that I lay a solid foundation..."

"Don't listen to them!" Zhou Haoran naturally had his reasons. "The country is currently at a critical juncture of transformation, and it needs outstanding private enterprises like Nanji Ren to step forward and lead the development of the market economy. The Asian financial crisis has just passed, and the market is in dire need of rebuilding. At this crucial moment, Nanji Ren must take decisive action and set an example!"

"This……"

Zhang Yongxiang knew that the great man had a broad vision.

But isn't that a bit too high?

A company's primary principle is to make money. Wouldn't it be too unrealistic and impractical to consider issues from the perspective of the nation in every aspect?
We can't let public affairs interfere with private matters, can we?

Zhou Haoran was not surprised by this idea, and said with a smile: "That's how the market is. When others are greedy, I am fearful; when others are fearful, I am greedy."

This is a famous quote from Warren Buffett.

However, at this stage, it hasn't spread yet, and Zhang Yongxiang started to think about it.

"Once the market heats up and everyone else is aggressively expanding, Nanji should be more cautious. Currently, with a large number of workers laid off and severely impacted by the financial crisis, we are in a market downturn. The more downturn we are, the more greedy we should be, seizing every opportunity to buy at the bottom!"

Zhou Haoran shared his business beliefs.

Half truths and half lies.

It all comes from those who have foreseen and know.

Without this factor, he wouldn't have dared to push for the Antarctic people's blind expansion; his thinking might even be more conservative than Zhang Yongxiang's. Maintaining the current situation is enough to ensure a comfortable life for generations; taking too big a step could easily lead to disaster.

Zhang Yongxiang nodded, "I'll listen to you, Master!"

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "If you follow this approach, you might just create a Fortune 500 clothing giant in a few years."

"Huh?" Zhang Yongxiang was taken aback. "An Antarctic person?"

"if not?"

Zhou Haoran asked a question in return.

Zhang Yongxiang felt a chill run down his spine. "This is something I never dared to imagine!"

Zhou Haoran said, "Once I join the board of directors, you can start thinking about it."

"it is good!"

Zhang Yongxiang was filled with excitement, thinking to himself that the Master was indeed extraordinary; his vision and perspective were truly awe-inspiring.

"Within a few years, no rush. In the next few years, let's focus on expanding Antarctic's industrial scale, connecting all the resources through various channels, and operating the domestic market well. Once we've thoroughly mastered the domestic market and entered the overseas market, that will be the day Antarctic leaps into the Fortune Global 500!"

Zhou Haoran can see the future.

At present, the apparel industry is in dire straits, with a large number of apparel manufacturers going bankrupt.

Things will be different in a few years.

Because of the WTO!

After joining the WTO, the garment industry was the first to take off in China.

How powerful is it?

China's garment industry has shaken the world, making it impossible for other global garment industries to survive, and has become a monopoly!
Unfortunately, China's apparel industry lacks brands, and top brands are mostly controlled by foreign companies. This has led to the once-powerful domestic apparel industry being relegated to downstream manufacturing, with most of the profits being captured by foreign companies.

Since the master has taken action, he must change this situation.

"By the way, I heard..." Zhang Yongxiang adopted a cautious tone, "I heard that Yu Zhaolin contacted you?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised.

Zhang Yongxiang said, "I've been keeping an eye on Yu Zhaolin. Yu Zhaolin is my sworn enemy. We used to have a huge fight. He was behind the entertainment channel's smear campaign against Nanji Ren. The advertising director from the entertainment channel who was arrested and sentenced is Yu Zhaolin's son-in-law."

Zhou Haoran said "hmm".

He knew about it. Yi Changping wasn't arrested, but he lost the right to retire early because a scapegoat with a more serious offense had been found.

"Sir, what's the situation with Yu Zhaolin?"

This is what Zhang Yongxiang is most worried about.

That's why he rushed over to give away the shares; he was really afraid that Yu Zhaolin would give him more reasons, causing Mr. Da to side with Yu Zhaolin.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, doing business is just like fighting a war. When two armies clash, even if you can eliminate the other side, you will also suffer losses. The best strategy is not to eliminate, but to incorporate. Eliminating the opponent will also cause you to suffer losses; only by incorporating can you continuously grow stronger and stronger."

"To be incorporated?" Zhang Yongxiang's expression changed, and he was very unwilling. "Sir, Yu Zhaolin and I are mortal enemies!"

Zhou Haoran didn't take it to heart and said calmly, "President Zhang, as I just said, Antarctic's goal should be to become one of the world's top 500 companies. You need to put yourself in the position of the boss of a Fortune 500 company. A leader doesn't get bogged down in frontal brawls."

"Uh……"

Zhang Yongxiang was speechless and could not refute it. He felt that the old man's words and actions were all well-reasoned and coherent.

……

Hu Xiaochen organized a get-together with her girlfriends.

Ji Yingyang also participated.

Others, including Wu Yue, Wang Qingqiu, Li Shen, Lu Chuyao, and Pei Hui, were also present. Even Tan Yuanyuan had returned from the United States during the Christmas holiday.

Because of one thing, the Spring Festival Gala!
This is Zhou Haoran's Spring Festival Gala, so naturally he'll promote his own people. Among these sisters, apart from Ji Yingyang who has stepped out of this circle, the others will participate in different ways, both on and off stage.

Among them, master dancer Tan Yuanyuan will have a solo dance performance.

Others who are less skilled will also take the stage as a group dance or group song.

Actors like Wu Yue and Wang Qingqiu are mediocre dancers and singers... but that doesn't matter. They can just go up and sing. Find some professional singers from a song and dance troupe to lead them. There are seven or eight of them in a row, singing a patriotic, positive-energy song. Each person sings a few lines, and they're all lip-syncing... This is too easy.

The main purpose of this gathering was to express our gratitude to Zhou Haoran.

"Brother Haoran, you're amazing!"

"Yeah, when Sister Xiaochen became your apprentice before, I was skeptical. I thought you were just a kid and that you two were joking around. I didn't expect it to be true. You're so capable!"

"They've even started putting on the Spring Festival Gala!"

"Brother Haoran, are you the boss behind Tangren Media? Sister Qingqiu said that you gave her two film contracts, which is why she had the opportunity to act."

"Brother Haoran, I admire you so much!"

"Brother Haoran, I want to sleep with you!"

"Pfft! Haha!"

"Lu Chuyao, you're insane!"

"I just want you, Haoran, to sleep with me. Don't you want to?"

"miss you!"

"Ha ha!"

"I want, too!"

"Brother Haoran, how about we have the Eight Fairies crossing the sea?"

"What Eight Fairies Crossing the Sea?"

"Eight Flying!"

"Pfft! Haha! You're crazy!"

Zhou Haoran was once again overwhelmed by this group of girlfriends.

It was fine at first.

But as they talked, things got a little off track.

This is always the case.

It's just like when Tang Sanzang went to the Spider Cave and was tempted by the female demons to eat his meat.

Hu Xiaochen has already eaten the piece of meat.

Ji Yingyang hasn't had a chance to eat yet, but luckily she's already made a reservation.

Others could only watch with envy.

Zhou Haoran couldn't stand the teasing and taunting of these vixens, their murderous gazes... they wished they could strip him naked and eat him alive in the restaurant's private room.

“You’re all older than me, you’re all like older sisters to me. Don’t worry too much about the Spring Festival Gala, we’re all family, so of course we’ll take care of you. Not only this Spring Festival Gala, but any future opportunities will definitely be given to you.”

After making his stance clear, Zhou Haoran quickly went to the restroom.

Relax.

My head is throbbing from all that chatter from these vixens.

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I heard someone call out to me from behind, in a very soft voice.

"Brother Haoran..."

"Sister Qingqiu."

Zhou Haoran responded with a smile.

Wang Qingqiu followed and said with a pursed mouth, "Brother Haoran, the sisters were just joking with you, don't mind them."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I know, we're all friends."

"Brother Haoran, thank you for giving me this opportunity. If it weren't for you, I would have changed careers and given up on being an actor."

Wang Qingqiu was very resistant to the rules of the film and television industry. She was even unwilling to drink, sing, and dance with people. As a result, although she was a top student in the acting department of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she did not get many acting opportunities.

"Of course," Zhou Haoran said casually. "Do you have any film contracts right now?"

"Yes." A hint of joy appeared on Wang Qingqiu's delicate and fair face. "The main character is Senior Brother Xu Zheng, who was a very popular figure at school!"

"Hmm, Xu Zheng is not bad. I will focus on training him."
