Chapter 1207 Recruiting Ling Tengyun as his deputy
Li Cong has never had a good impression of these Zhejiang businessmen. The main reason is that the reputation of Wenzhou businessmen is too bad. Wherever they go, they will pick up something. Such things are simply ridiculous in the eyes of ordinary people.
There is no benefit at all. It seems that Li Cong will not give any benefit to these Zhejiang businessmen this time.
"Mr. Li, although this Zhejiang merchant is very capable, he is not very united internally. You must know that Wenzhou merchants do not have a very good reputation among Zhejiang merchants. Zhejiang merchants are not the only ones with Wenzhou merchants. They also have
Chaozhou merchants, Ningbo merchants and Shanghai merchants are all business groups that have emerged in modern times. Compared with these people, Zhejiang merchants are like nouveau riche. They are like aristocrats. Let the aristocrats
They will always have various problems when they stand with the nouveau riche. When we sold jadeite rough just now, the purchase price was 140 million. Both the buyer and the seller were Zhejiang businessmen, but they were making their own money.
You won't be lenient." As a Northeastern businessman, Ling Tengyun felt a little confused about the scene just now, but in the eyes of Zhejiang businessmen, this is a very normal thing. There is no explanation. If you have money and don't make it, you are a fool.
Woolen cloth.
Li Cong is the same as the Northeastern people on this issue. There is no treacherous behavior in his business, because the things he produces are basically unique. If anyone dares to trick him, he will probably be punished immediately.
The contract was terminated, so when he heard Ling Tengyun say this, he immediately despised the profitable businessman just now.
"Brother Ling, I basically understand this businessman from Zhejiang, but I don't know much about this businessman from the Pearl River Delta. It's getting late now, and our stomachs are probably starting to growl. I still want to ask you some questions.
, I wonder if we can find a place to eat and talk." Although it was only after four in the afternoon, but thinking about the auction of the Qin family mansion in the evening, this is the best time to eat. If it is late, it will probably be in the evening.
Gotta go hungry.
In fact, Ling Tengyun wanted to say this just now, but they had an invitation letter, and he was just a accessory to them. How could he have other intentions? After hearing what Li Cong said, he immediately said that tonight
He treated him to a meal and took care of things with just a phone call. The place to eat was in a high-end western restaurant not far from the Qin family mansion. Such a person is really a wonderful person. Li Cong knew that
There was no pretentiousness about the meal, so I got into this guy's BMW again and drove towards the Western restaurant next to the Qin family mansion.
In fact, Qin Guozhong prepared dinner for Li Cong at his own home, but Li Cong felt that his conversation with Ling Tengyun was quite acceptable. In fact, he also had some intention of recruiting him, even though Fatty Zhou was helping him in this public sale.
I'm very busy, but it's better to find someone who knows these domestic businessmen better, because the main consumers of jade are still Chinese. Only by relying on these Chinese to promote jade to the world, people in other regions will become aware of it.
In fact, this thing is much more beautiful than diamonds.
When the two of them were in the middle of a conversation, they casually ordered some food and continued talking about this businessman from the Pearl River Delta.
"Guangdong businessmen" are the most important enterprise group in the modern Chinese economy, especially the trade and circulation economy. They are also the "business gang" with the greatest influence on China's reform and opening up. Its changes and development trends not only have a huge impact on the Guangdong economy, but also have a huge impact on the Guangdong economy.
It has also had an immeasurable impact on business groups across the country.
Cantonese merchants, together with Anhui merchants, Shanxi merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Suzhou merchants, are collectively known as the "Five Major Business Gangs" in history. Cantonese merchants in a broad sense include Guangzhou Gang, Chaozhou Gang, and Hakka Gang, and Cantonese merchants in a narrow sense refer to Guangzhou.
Gang (including businessmen of Cantonese origin in Dongguan, Jiangmen, Foshan and other areas. Cantonese businessmen have far-reaching cultural and historical roots and a strong business atmosphere. Due to their special geographical location, Cantonese businessmen are adjacent to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and are the earliest to have advanced foreign technologies and equipment.
It entered from Guangdong and then radiated across the country. Sensitivity, diligence, hard work, pragmatism, and low-key can all be reflected in Guangdong businessmen. In modern times, Cantonese businessmen have played a role in guiding the trend.
Representatives of early Cantonese merchants were in Guangfu, among which the Thirteen Banks were the most prominent, mainly engaged in trade and transportation. The diligence and integrity of the Cantonese merchants were the basis for the rapid development of the Thirteen Banks' economy and trade. Almost all major merchants in Asia, Europe, and America Countries and regions have had direct trade relations with the Guangzhou Thirteenth Bank. Cantonese businessmen have long had a tradition of expanding overseas. According to historical records, as early as the Tang Dynasty, there were Cantonese doing business overseas; in modern times, Guangdong businessmen even more Traveling all over the world, Guangdong has become a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in my country.
Guangdong businessmen dare to be the first in the world. Three of the country's first four special economic zones are in Guangdong. In the past 20 years, most of China's advanced retail formats, circulation technologies and organizational forms were first introduced and introduced by Guangdong commercial enterprises.
Trying, for example, supermarkets, shopping malls, shopping plazas, third-party logistics, etc., so that Guangdong's commercial circulation enterprises have always been in an absolute leading position in the country.
"It seems that some businessmen across the country have their own characteristics, and this Cantonese businessman is also unconventional. This time the location is in Hong Kong. It seems that the Cantonese businessman is really going to invest." Li Cong heard Ling Tengyun finish.
Finally, I really felt that my motherland was very complicated. There were so many business systems in one country. It seemed that I had really underestimated domestic businessmen before.
"Haha, this is for sure. There are two representatives of Cantonese businessmen now. They are Ma Weihua, president of China Merchants Bank, and Liu Zhiqiang, chairman of Heung Kong Group. This Liu Zhiqiang is the representative of Cantonese businessmen in Hong Kong. This time he and
Wenzhou businessman Xu Rong is a shining figure in this jade auction, brother, you have to pay close attention to them." The two chatted for a long time and now their names have become a bit intimate. Li Cong is interested in this.
Very good. This Ling Tengyun is really a talent. Just based on what this guy said just now, he is qualified to eat at the same table as him. This person must be under his hand.
"Brother Ling, people don't do secretive things. I am a more honest person. To be honest, I am not very prepared for the jade sale in Hong Kong this time. A few of my friends helped me with everything.
I'll do it. If Brother Ling doesn't dislike my younger brother, I'd like to ask Brother Ling to help me. Fatty Zhou who had dinner with me this morning also needs a deputy. I wonder if Brother Ling means this? That guy with business acumen.
Yes, but his understanding of these businessmen in the country is not on the same level as Brother Ling." Li Cong said with a smile, although Fatty Zhou also worked in the country before, that guy couldn't do it.
On the stage, I guess I only know a little bit about the coal bosses in Shanxi. I basically know a little about other things like myself. I know what others say.
This? Ling Tengyun was a little dumbfounded when he heard what Li Cong said. His little plan was to get familiar with the guy in front of him, and then rely on this guy to get more goods. He didn't think of asking Li Congbai to give it to him.
Yes, but I thought that I can give priority to picking goods, and the discounts are still available. Even introducing some domestic businessmen can be regarded as earning face for myself. I didn't expect that this guy directly sent me an invitation. I didn't think of this.
After a while, Ling Tengyun, who was so versatile, didn't know how to answer.
"Of course, I know that Brother Ling also has some business of his own. He said that he is helping, but it is paid. This is great. I think Brother Ling comes to Hong Kong this time to make a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at most.
I'll give Brother Ling a round number, how about 100 million Hong Kong dollars, just to help my brother, no more than two weeks at most." Seeing Ling Tengyun, Li Cong thought it was an old idea of a businessman, and he hadn't seen it yet.
When it comes to profit, ordinary businessmen will not draw conclusions easily. Li Cong estimates that even if Ling Tengyun's funds can be turned over, he will never make 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Giving him 100 million Hong Kong dollars can be said to be a huge share.
It's cheap. If I had a salary like Fatty Zhou's, I would probably have to pay hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, maybe even more.
What the hell? It’s only 100 million Hong Kong dollars in two weeks. Ling Tengyun hadn’t woken up just now. He was immediately knocked unconscious by Li Cong’s 100 million Hong Kong dollars. He always thought that he was very generous, but with the situation in front of him
Compared with this, I was simply beaten to death. My original intention of contacting others was to get a night's admission. I didn't expect that even if I achieved my goal, there would be such good things waiting for me.
If you continue to disagree with the conditions, you will be no different from a fool.
"Okay, no problem. If you don't mind, brother, I've done this. To be honest, all my assets combined don't even amount to 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The money I brought this time was basically scraped together from everywhere.
, I have calculated that the biggest reward is a 100% return, but there are still so many troublesome things, so I will simply ignore my business. I have to work hard for you, brother. What's going on?
I have to be worthy of your salary of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, haha." Ling Tengyun laughed happily. He could see that the boy in front of him was not in need of the 100 million Hong Kong dollars, even if he exposed his trump card to the other party
It's nothing, and people won't reduce their salary just because of this.
"Brother, we are now a family. I just told you about the businessmen from China. Of course, the Chinese are the main consumers of jade, and they are also the people you need to pay most attention to. But after I arrived in Hong Kong, I observed
In fact, many foreigners have also come here, not to mention those in the foreign jewelry industry. Like the jewelry families in Hong Kong, they are no longer the protagonists in the jade industry. The ones who really need your attention are the international speculators.
, They are more powerful than those in the country. Not to mention their skills, they are also much stronger than the major forces in the country in terms of funds. You need to pay more attention to them." Ling Tengyun quickly entered.
Now that he has entered his role, Li Cong is very satisfied with him. His 100 million Hong Kong dollars have now begun to have an effect.
"Foreigners? They are just like the domestic businessmen. They are just after jadeite. In fact, I have already thought about what to do. That is to provoke disputes between them so that they cannot control the entire market. No one should think about it.
Be the first to leave the market." Li Cong said firmly. It's OK for these people to make money by relying on jade, but it's definitely not allowed to make other people's money by speculating on jade, because the things you are speculating this time are different from those before.
It's different. In the past, those things didn't have that much value. The value of those things was disputed by you, but this time it's different. These things are non-renewable and they can only appreciate.
, will definitely not depreciate.
"The other thing is your sales method. In the afternoon, you can just trade at a fixed price. Don't do this again in the future. There is no competition at all. It just depends on who is faster. I think there will still be competition in future sales.
It's better." Ling Tengyun thought for a while and finally spoke up about this issue. As a subordinate, this matter must be said, but it is not an easy thing for anyone to accuse a person of his mistakes face to face.
Can he face his own mistakes? If this young man can't face it, he is just asking for trouble for himself. After saying this, Ling Tengyun looked at his young and shameless boss with some uneasiness.
"Well, you proposed this very well. I will improve it. I also thought about it. I didn't expect you, Brother Ling, to have said it earlier. It's getting late. Let's eat quickly." Li Cong finished speaking.
He lowered his head and began to eat his own food, without letting Ling Tengyun see his eyes. Li Cong was more or less clear about the way of serving his subordinates. He could not let his subordinates eat him too much. If so, he would be too helpless.
With some skills, the subordinate may not have any ideas in a short period of time, but after a long time, the ambition of the subordinate may expand. Li Cong definitely does not want this to happen to him.
The Qin Family Courtyard, although Qin’s Jewelry is not ranked among the big companies in Hong Kong, it is probably in the top 20 at most. Why do you think there are so many rich people in Hong Kong, and they are all crowded together in such a place?
It is a small place, but the Qin family mansion ranks very well in the whole of Hong Kong. Some real estate agents have also calculated privately that the value of this mansion must be at least more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking among the top in Hong Kong.
Three, of course, this can only be a number on paper, because this house will basically not be sold. If it is sold, it can only mean one problem, that is, Qin's Jewelry is bankrupt.
The Qin family has held many auctions, but it has never been held in their own home. This is the first time that hundreds of businessmen have been invited to their home to hold this auction. To be honest, the Qin family's mansion
The environment is definitely the best in Hong Kong. Instead of spending millions to hold an auction in some big hotels, it would be better to hold it in your own home. Dozens of venue decorators have already arranged everything. Just wait.
As the guests arrived, Qin Guozhong and his father carefully inspected the dozens of pieces of jewelry shipped from the vault. Only a few of these items were made by Mr. Qin, and the others were just made by Mr. Qin.
Let's make a start. The repetitive work in the middle was done by some old workers, but it is fair to say that these are the achievements of Mr. Qin over the past few years. How many of these people can understand, and this matter is not Qin's.
Every family is doing it, and everyone who makes jewelry is basically aware of this matter, and no one is looking for trouble. After all, you will do this sooner or later. If you come out and tell this matter, you will be the public enemy of the entire industry.
"Father, to be honest, I really don't really hope to sell these things. It would be great if I could wait for a while." Qin Guozhong looked at the Guanyin pendant in his hand. This kind of thing is the most popular tonight.
It can be sold for 9 million to 12 million Hong Kong dollars. If you wait more than a month, you can probably get several million more. Now the price increases almost every day. If you sell now, you will cut yourself off again.
, but thinking of gaining the right to speak in the coming jade snatching war, this is what must be done, and holding the jade auction now also shows an attitude to all parties, that is, our Qin jewelry is definitely rich and powerful.
"Haha, things are dead, but people are alive. If we have difficulties, others will definitely have them too. If we keep them for a while, the price may increase by just that much. It's nothing. Don't forget that we are at an auction.
, according to past experience, the prices at auctions are much higher than the actual prices. Our customers are all wealthy people. If they really match, the price may be astronomical. We
I'm still making money." Mr. Qin is very optimistic. He sees it from a strategic perspective. After the battle for jade is over, it will take half a year at the fastest for Li Cong's next batch of jade to arrive. These six
If your competitors don't have the goods within a few months and you do, then you will definitely win.
"Maybe that's it. Compared with your old man, my realm is quite different. Father, I think it's almost time, so I'll go out and take a look first." After Qin Guozhong said that, he went out. Mr. Qin's eyes changed from
From his back, he saw the jade jewelry on the table. Once upon a time, these things were his favorite things. If possible, it would be better not to sell any of them. Now, I can only sacrifice you for the sake of the family.
