Chapter 499 Just remembered to care about me?
There are many garment factories in China, but few are as famous as the Song family. The Song family can be said to be the benchmark for the garment industry in Qilu Province.
Coupled with the recent cooperation with Jinlilai in Hong Kong, this has made Song's clothing more famous, otherwise Xu Gaoming would not know about it.
In Xu Gaoming's eyes, the status of Song's clothing is much higher than that of Journey to the West food, which is why Li Siwen proposed to introduce the Song's and he directly took out the Dahongpao.
Seeing Shirley Song's attitude towards Li Siwen, Xu Gaoming became numb, but the head of the Song family let Li Siwen make the decision?
This is not just grocery shopping, this is a business worth tens of millions, right?
Is it possible that this Song Shirley is fake? But from the woman's dress and innate temperament, she is obviously not a liar. Besides, Li Siwen doesn't need to hire a liar to deceive him.
After thinking for a while, Xu Gaoming confirmed again: "Miss Song, do you really not understand?"
"Haha!" Song Shirley noticed Xu Gaoming's doubts and said softly: "Deputy City Xu, I believe him."
Xu Gaoming finally understood that his worries were unnecessary. He took out two letters of intent from under the table and started writing them. After a moment, he said: "Let's sign two letters of intent first. I will ask the secretary to draft a new one for the specific contract.
Try to complete the procedures this afternoon."
"Let's go to the hotel now. How about I treat Vice Mayor Xu to a meal? Let the people below do the rest." Li Siwen glanced at his watch and said.
"Okay, I just wanted to have a drink with you!"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everything was settled. Li Siwen sat in Hutouben, couldn't help patting the leather seat, and said with a smile: "I have been in Pengcheng for several months and I still take a taxi. Why did you just get here?"
Just get in a Mercedes-Benz?"
"Do you really think that our Song family is just a wage earner for those big brands? I'm not afraid to tell you that when I go around the world, these brands need to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for me." Shirley Song murmured: "It's not like some people.
It’s just a matter of calling a car to pick him up or drop him off, and I also have to accompany politicians to dinner.”
"Hey, what you said is wrong. I am also doing it for the Song family's business." Li Siwen chuckled: "Two pieces of land, a total of only 33 million, I can laugh out loud in my dreams."
"Is thirty-three million still too little?"
Shirley Song hummed.
"Compared with the value of the land, we saved at least 20 million. Moreover, this is an opportunity for the Song Group to enter the southern market, and as you know, the land in the special zone has great import and export preferential policies.
The policy is more in line with the development of the Song family."
Li Siwen explained seriously.
"Okay, okay, you are the most reasonable, and I didn't say I wouldn't pay."
Song Xueli acted like a little woman. How could she not know this? She was just very angry that Li Siwen treated her like a tool, so she started to find faults everywhere when she talked.
"By the way, how is the Song family? Are your eldest and second uncle still looking for trouble as before?"
"Did you remember to care about me now?"
"Well……"
Li Siwen didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Their rights have been taken away. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can't say anything. What's more, now that the Song family's profits are getting better and better, they can just take the dividends." Song Shirley's tone softened a lot: "As for the Song family, you
Don't worry."
"Well, if you have any questions, be sure to call me."
Li Siwen said seriously.
"I got it." Shirley Song glanced at Li Siwen gently. She didn't know when this man had become the person she trusted the most, and was closer to her than any of her relatives.
"What do you plan to do with these two pieces of land? Although I paid for it, you have to make an arrangement, right?"
Shirley Song thought for a while and asked again.
"The large land is naturally used for the Song family to build a factory in Pengcheng, and it needs to use Pengcheng as a springboard to establish the Song family's own brand. I have mentioned this to you before."
"I have always wanted to build a brand, but I have never had the opportunity. You also know that from the establishment to the production of a brand, its positioning, style, and adaptability to the crowd must have clear goals," said Shirley Song.
"I have a proposal."
"you say."
"I think the Song family should create a luxury product that belongs to China."
"Luxury goods? You mean like Hermès and Chanel?"
Li Siwen nodded: "From the world's perspective, we in China have long been labeled as cheap mass production, whether it is jewelry, watches, clothing, etc., the world's brands just treat this place as a foundry. To be honest.
, we don’t lack design, vision, or talent. What we lack is just the determination not to dare to get involved in this field. Once some things are engraved in the bone marrow, it is difficult to change.
Moreover, people nowadays are too obsessed with pursuing profits and do whatever makes money, but they lose a lot in the process of making money.
Do you know what we Chinese businessmen lose the most?"
Shirley Song looked at Li Siwen quietly and shook her head gently.
"Culture and Dignity."
Li Siwen took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh: "My life is better and my pockets are bulging, but this is all obtained in exchange for culture and dignity. When you want money after a few decades, you can exchange for culture."
and dignity, but found that it was already difficult to reach the sky.
Therefore, I feel that if we really want to create a brand, we must integrate our culture and dignity into it, instead of following the international trend. We must make our own clothes and create a "Paris Fashion Week" that belongs to China and let the world see it.
After five thousand years of changes in China, we must evolve Hanfu and Tang suit into trends that lead the world.
Of course, this requires a long process, and you may not be able to make money in ten, twenty, thirty, or even fifty years, but I think it is a meaningful thing.
I hope that one day in the future, our upper class in China will be wearing the services of the Song family, instead of showing off luxury goods bought abroad."
Song Shirley looked at Li Siwen infatuatedly. Every word he spoke was like a smooth curve, calm and powerful, revealing a seemingly indifferent longing, but it was more convincing than everyone else's longing.
.
“Luxury goods are not only out of touch with the masses, they also require years of refinement and may never be profitable.
Therefore, if you want to do something, you must have the determination to look down on interests and have a love for Chinese culture. This is what I expect from you.
Of course, this is a big deal and it’s up to you to decide what to do.”
After Li Siwen finished speaking, he also looked at Song Shirley, waiting for the other party's answer.
"You look like a person." Shirley Song suddenly said.
"Who does it look like?" Li Siwen was stunned for a moment.
"Like my grandpa." Shirley Song showed a beautiful look in her eyes, as if recalling something, and said slowly: "Actually, I hate doing business. I have seen enough hypocritical faces for profit since I was a child, so I went abroad to study medicine.
I hope I can do something meaningful to my life. If my grandfather had not been seriously ill, I would definitely not have come back.
And every time I expressed my distaste for business, my grandfather would always tell me that both doing business and studying medicine are meaningful.
I didn’t quite understand before. Studying medicine is about saving lives, and doing business is just about making money. How can they be the same?
But after listening to your words, I seem to understand that what makes a meaningful person is not how he succeeds, but how he does meaningful things after success."
Li Siwen laughed when he heard Song Shirley's words: "Hey, I have grown up. It seems that my efforts have not been in vain! I am very pleased."
"You come less, it's because I have a high level of understanding." Shirley Song snorted and changed the subject: "How do you plan to use the other piece of land?"
"I plan to bring Westward Journey here. The food industry is still very promising. I need the backing of Westward Journey to provide funds. Without money, all dreams will be in vain." After finishing speaking, Li Siwen added: "I will give the money for that piece of land.
Westward Journey Group will transfer it to you."
Shirley Song was stunned for a moment: "What kind of operation is this? You just bought it directly in your name, and it costs a lot of taxes on the transfer."
"Hey, you don't understand what I mean. The money is given to you, but the name of the property rights is still yours." Li Siwen said.
"Li Siwen, you want to support me? Let me tell you, more than ten million is not enough."
Shirley Song raised her eyebrows.
"What a mess, there are some problems here, even if I tell you, you don't understand." Li Siwen shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, you just collect the money."
"That won't work." Shirley Song shook her head and said, "Let me come up with an idea."
"What's the idea?" Li Siwen asked.
"Since it's my land, there's no need to give me money. You can just pay me rent if you want to use it," said Shirley Song.
"This method is okay, so let's settle it. You build the factory on the large land, and give it to Westward Journey on the small land." Li Siwen said and asked: "How have you considered creating a brand?"
"Do you still need to think about it? You have already decided, of course I agree." Shirley Song suddenly smiled playfully and changed the topic: "Where are you going to take me to play these days?"
"Playing? How can I have time to play? Xinpu Electric has work to do."
"No, you promised me before I came here."
Shirley Song grabbed Li Siwen's arm and refused to let go.
"How about I find a tour guide for you? I have a very powerful assistant who knows everything. He can go wherever you want to go."
"You must go, otherwise I won't rent the land to you."
"Are you too cruel?"
"You asked for it."
Li Siwen scratched his head. He really couldn't remember when he agreed to Shirley Song to accompany the other party for fun, but looking at the other party's determined attitude, he couldn't resist and could only nod in agreement.
"By the way, where are you staying? It's not a small hotel, is it?"
“Presidential Suite.”
"You are so stingy, how can you possibly stay in the presidential suite?"
"Am I stingy?"
"Nonsense, the wine you invited me to drink in Caozhou was all fake."
"That's because there's no real alcohol in the bar."
"Excuse!"
