My Realistic Simulation Game

Chapter 195 The Commander's Platform (Two Chapters Combined)

As Wang Gongquan, Feng Lun, and the others ate their dumplings, their bodies warmed and their hearts warmed as well.

They hadn't eaten much along the way, and now that they could eat these hot dumplings, the chill in their bodies had dissipated considerably.

Seeing how ravenously they were eating, Qin Yuan quietly instructed Gangzi to drive the car parked in the yard back and have Qin's mother, Zhang Guilan, cook a few more dishes and bring over the remaining dumplings.

"Mr. Qin, that's enough. Let's just fill our stomachs."

Wang Gongquan stopped Gangzi, still wanting to maintain his composure.

"Today is New Year's Eve. You've come all this way, how could I let you go hungry?"

Qin Yuan grasped his hand and said, "Listen to me, sit down first, and let's talk while we wait for our food."

Hearing Qin Yuan say this, Wang Gongquan sat down.

The others also turned their attention to Qin Yuan.

Wang Gongquan was stunned for a moment before taking the initiative to introduce them: "President Qin, this is Feng Lun, my elder brother when I was working in Qiongzhou. This is Yi Xiaodi and Wang Qifu."

Among them, Feng Lun is the oldest, already 32 years old this year.

Wang Gongquan was next, at 30 years old.

The youngest is Wang Qifu, who is only 23 years old. After graduating from university, he followed these guys to make his way in the world.

Qin Yuan knew them very well because he had read a book in his previous life that mentioned the "Six Gentlemen of Wantong".

Like Wang Gongquan, Feng Lun also came from within the system.

They even held higher positions, reaching the division level.

Moreover, the unit he worked for was the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System, which held the most real power and was the most popular.

He was only thirty years old at the time, and by all accounts, he should have had a bright future ahead of him.

However, since the location was in Qiongzhou, everything was in its infancy, and although there were more than a hundred positions under his command, they were all vacant.

The resources available to them are the power they hold and the approvals they can issue.

Feng Lun earned his first pot of gold by selling a batch of color TV licenses to Pan Shiyi, who then resold these licenses for 200,000 yuan.

If several people split the money, they can each earn tens of thousands.

In the 1980s, tens of thousands of yuan could be considered a substantial profit.

The group had been planning to make a big splash, but unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn for the worse.

With Wang Gongquan imprisoned, Feng Lun could no longer stay within the system, so he chose to go into business.

If he had followed the trajectory of his previous life, after going into business, he would have met Mu Qizhong in Yanjing and then joined the Nande Group.

After Wang Gongquan was released from prison, he joined the Nande Group through Feng Lun's recommendation.

Not only him, but also Wang Qifu, Pan Shiyi, Liu Jun and several others are like this.

At that time, two-thirds of the management team at Nande were brought in through Feng Lun's introduction.

His achievements overshadowed those of his superiors, which naturally aroused Mu Qizhong's vigilance.

However, the controversy was temporarily overshadowed by the nationally sensational "canned food for airplanes" incident.

However, Mu Qizhong did not forget this threat. He used this incident to recruit many relatives and former subordinates from his hometown in Sichuan and entrust them with important tasks, thereby restraining Feng Lun.

But once this was done, Feng Lun was also provoked.

He felt that if Mu Qizhong continued to act recklessly, he would turn Nande Group into a family business, so he came up with the idea of ​​a "military remonstrance" to force him to step down to the second line.

But after thinking about it, he didn't dare. Instead, he took Wang Gongquan and a few others to Qiongzhou and started his own entrepreneurial journey.

Fortunately, they didn't dare, because the other group of people who staged the "military remonstrance" after them had already been tied up in bed by Mu Qizhong late at night and directly sent to prison.

The pretext used was to steal company property.

Mu Qizhong was ruthless, but this was a common practice in the 1980s and 90s.

In that era, how could one get ahead without being ruthless and cunning?

But in today's gaming world, Mu Qizhong is nowhere to be found.

After Wang Gongquan was released from prison, he went to the Far East Trading Group, which led several of them from Qiongzhou to Yanjing.

Also interesting.

As Qin Yuan thought about these things, he couldn't help but smile.

Upon seeing this, Feng Lun's heart stirred.

"President Qin, along the way, my brothers and I have been following Far East Trade and Chery's news. We all think Far East is a great platform, and we would like to ask you to give us a chance to make a living."

Qin Yuan didn't speak immediately, but stared at them and sized them up.

Upon seeing this, Wu Weiguo became anxious and began to give a detailed account of his experiences over the past two weeks:
"Brother Yuan, this trip south was made possible thanks to Brother Gongquan, Brother Feng, and the others!"

He looked at Feng Lun and the others, his tone sincere: "The framework of the light industry exhibition and sales platform we had in mind has been set up, but I really had no idea how to operate it or how to expand it quickly."

"But once these big brothers arrived, wow, the situation completely changed!"

"Brother Feng saw the key point at a glance and immediately implemented a 'tiered supplier certification system' and 'standardized quality inspection,' establishing strict standards that made it clear which manufacturers to sign contracts with."

"With Qifu's help, and his drive and connections, we visited almost every well-known down jacket and leather boot factory in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai area, and signed hundreds of letters of intent, large and small."

He then looked at Yi Xiaodi: "And Brother Yi, without saying a word, he figured out the platform's financial model and organizational structure very clearly, he's frighteningly professional!"

"Not to mention Brother Wang, he coordinates everything flawlessly."

Wu Weiguo advised, "Brother Yuan, I'm not bragging, but each of these brothers is a capable leader who can stand alone!"

"With them here, our light industry platform will definitely become the group's most stable cash cow."

Qin Yuan listened quietly, then looked at Wu Weiguo and smiled, "Weiguo, did you do nothing at all during this process?"

"I...I..." Wu Weiguo was speechless for a moment. Of course he had done it, and he had done quite a lot.

Even if Feng Lun and the others made great contributions, they all joined midway through the process. The foundation laid by him and Wang Gongquan was the one that preceded them.

Qin Yuan didn't make things difficult for Wu Weiguo, and looked at Feng Lun and the others, saying, "I heard from Gong Quan before that you had two friends in Qiongzhou, right? Didn't they come with you?"

He picked up the teapot and personally poured hot tea for Wang Gongquan, Feng Lun, and others.

Feng Lun hurriedly took the hot tea and nodded, saying, "Yes, there are two other people, one named Pan Shiyi and the other named Liu Jun. Pan Shiyi also has a brick factory business in Qiongzhou and does some foreign trade as well."

"That guy Liu Jun opened a printing factory and does some small business."

"Gongquan and I have both written to them, and they should be able to come over after the New Year."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, "You should all know something about my business in the Soviet Union and in China. Since you are willing to work with me, I will fully respect your personal opinions. Tell me, what do the three of you want to do?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Lun and the other two were taken aback.

Yes!

They were only thinking about coming to Qin Yuan's side and making their mark on the Far East Trade platform.

But what are they going to do?

If you count the industries Qin Yuan is involved in, domestically he owns Jeanswest, Chery, and Far East Trade, while in the Soviet Union he owns multiple kvass factories and a distribution network that supports the reseller trade.

These are just a few examples, but beneath the surface, there's a lot more involved. Which industries can their individual abilities be matched with?
Feng Lun and his team also learned from Wang Gongquan that Qin Yuan's industries and resources in the Soviet Union were even larger than those in China.

But the three of them have no achievements to speak of, and they can be assigned to any position they want.
Are they parachuting in?
That doesn't make sense!
Seeing their hesitation and confusion, Qin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you can't figure it out, how about I make the arrangements?"

The three of them nodded immediately.

"Binzi, is there a freight supervisor position that's vacant at Uncle Zhang's place?"

Qin Yuan looked at Binzi and asked.

Binzi was taken aback; he didn't remember having such a position, but then he realized what it meant.

Even if there are no positions available, we have to create them!

"Yes, there is such a position, and we are currently hiring externally."

"No need to hire outside." Qin Yuan waved his hand, his gaze falling on the youngest, Wang Qifu: "Qifu, how about I make you the freight manager?"

"This job requires working day and night. No matter when the goods arrive, you have to get out of bed immediately and go to the various warehouses and platforms to sign for and check the goods."

"Of course, if you do a good job, there is great potential for further advancement in the future. Are you willing to take on this responsibility?"

Uncle Zhang is getting old now, so staying in Yanjing is certainly not a problem, but this kind of work that requires him to personally go to the front lines will definitely need to be handed over gradually.

Wang Qifu is only in his early twenties. He is young and enterprising. With more training, he will surely become a gem.

"President Qin, I'm willing! It's just a little hard work, right? I'm not afraid of hardship!"

Wang Qifu agreed without the slightest hesitation, patting his chest.

Back when they were in Qiongzhou, they had nowhere to stay, so they slept on the beach at night and had to bury their clothes in the sand to avoid being stolen.

What's a few all-nighters compared to that?

Moreover, he started as the freight supervisor, a position that was neither too high nor too low, but with a lot of real power. The next step up would be manager or general manager.

This position is already considered mid-to-senior level in Far East Trade.

He was very satisfied with the arrangement.

Seeing that Wang Qifu had such a good place to go, Feng Lun and Yi Xiaodi also smiled.

Meeting their gazes, Qin Yuan continued, "Xiao Di, you have a calm personality and are so proficient in finance. From now on, you will be responsible for the accounts of Far East Trading and the various branches of the group. Let's start with the position of financial director, okay?"

Yi Xiaodi nodded: "No problem, President Qin, it's my duty."

He dislikes competing and handles things with ease, often playing the role of a hard-working and pragmatic person among the group.

Finance was also his specialty.

Qin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. In his previous life, these people would definitely have broken up. On the one hand, they were too accustomed to the ways of the martial arts world, and on the other hand, they were all very talented people who could get along well for a while.

But it's almost impossible for them to live in peace forever.

Therefore, Qin Yuan will not put them together to form a real estate company similar to Vantone, allowing them to grow and become stronger in the real estate sector.

Instead, he wanted to distribute these people among the various branches of the Far East trade network, allowing them to grow and become powerful regional powers.

Qin Yuan's gaze fell on Wang Gongquan. "Gongquan, you have made a contribution this time. The light industry winter exhibition and sales platform is an important source of cash flow for our Far East Trade in the future. You have already set up its channels and opened up the transportation route with Sichuan Airlines. Now all that's left is to dump the products on the market."

"In the third year of junior high, Binzi and Gangzi will fly to Moscow. I think you should go with them. They have their mission, and you have yours."

"Your task is to find a buyer who can accept this batch of winter light industrial products."

This is another test question.

The Soviet Union was certainly in dire need of all kinds of winter supplies, but the question was how to sell them and how to quickly recoup the funds.

The situation is quite complex.

Wang Gongquan had been to the Soviet Union, so he naturally knew the situation there and that this was a completely different product from Jeanswest.

Because of its diverse and complex product range, the middleman route cannot handle so many goods.

To sell them quickly, we need to find new sales channels.

The fastest and best way, of course, was to get in touch with the Soviet government.

Wang Gongquan's mind raced, and he came up with a preliminary plan.

"No problem, Mr. Qin. I can leave anytime. Will Weiguo come with me?"

Wang Gongquan looked at Wu Weiguo. He felt that this man was deeply trusted by Qin Yuan and was reliable in his work. The two of them had already developed some tacit understanding as partners.

"Wei Guo has other plans, and from now on, you will be in full charge of the light industry exhibition and sales platform."

Qin Yuan immediately rejected the arrangement.

At this point, Feng Lun was the only one who hadn't been assigned a role.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Feng Lun and Qin Yuan.

They speculated about Feng Lun's possible whereabouts.

It was most likely the Soviet Union.

They were guessing.

Binzi, Gangzi, and Wang Gongquan all went to the Soviet Union, while Wang Qifu took over Old Zhang's job in Yanjing, where he was in charge of transferring supplies.

Yi Xiaodi took charge of finance and logistics, becoming a veritable steward.

As for Feng Lun, the eldest of the six, there was only one place he could be assigned to—the Soviet Union.

Even Feng Lun himself thinks so.

Chery's collaboration with the Volga plant to manufacture cars, the dumping of Far Eastern Kvass throughout the Soviet Union, and the rumored distribution network of middlemen covering half of the Soviet Union—participating in any one of these three projects would have been incredibly lucrative.

So when Qin Yuan's gaze fell on him, Feng Lun's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

"Old Feng, you have many years of experience within the system, so you must be quite experienced in dealing with officials within the system, right?"

As Qin Yuan finished speaking, Feng Lun paused for a moment, then nodded: "I wouldn't say I have much experience, but it's enough to handle it."

The Commission for Restructuring the Economic System is a great place to train people, especially since he became its director before he was even thirty years old.

Although there were special circumstances surrounding this case in Qiongzhou, a special administrative region, it still demonstrates its capabilities.

"Okay, I have two things for you to do."

"Please speak," Feng Lun said, his expression unchanged, but his tone lowered.

Qin Yuandao said, "First, I will open two Jeanswest flagship stores in Guomao and Wangfujing on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I plan to hand over the management of both stores to you."

Managing two stores?

Feng Lun was stunned again; this was completely different from what he had expected.

But he remained patient.

"Mr. Qin, what's the second thing?"

Qin Yuan said mysteriously, "You'll know once these two flagship stores open."
