Chapter 044: People like you, it's hard not to make money
"Little brother, do you still have time? Why don't you come over to my place and have a chat?" Brother Shui thought for a while and said.
"If you have time, the boat will go back in the afternoon."
Lin Yi followed Brother Shui to his place. Brother Shui asked his men to go to work, then made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lin Yi.
"Little brother, why would you want to go there legally? You can't make money if you go there legally?" Brother Shui asked after taking a sip of tea.
"I always hear people talk about how prosperous Hong Kong is, so naturally I want to see it." Lin Yi made up a random reason.
Ah Shui smiled.
"Little brother, I don't know how to call him yet."
"Lin Yi."
"Brother Lin, to tell you the truth, when going to Hong Kong, most people go by water, or people from the government go there. It's very troublesome for private people to go through the normal procedures."
"But it's not impossible. For example, if you get married, you can go with your family members. In this case, there are more women, so it's not suitable for you. There is also a work visa. To be honest, this is very difficult to apply for."
"If you are only going there temporarily, then you are visiting relatives. This is also very troublesome. Your relatives and friends in Hong Kong need to sign and pay a deposit. You also need to pay a deposit in the mainland. You have to go to the street to sign and stamp. It will take two or three months to get the 'double'.
Cheng Zheng', in the past, he could only stay for seven days."
"There is also a slightly simpler one, which is the invitation letter. You need a company in Hong Kong to issue an invitation letter, and you go through the passport and other procedures in the mainland. It used to take a week. Except for the leaders, few people can stay long.
"
"If you want to do the latter two, it will cost a lot of money. In short, it's either impossible or the cost is more and the procedures are more complicated."
Lin Yi could naturally hear the meaning behind Brother Shui's words.
He has the ability to help,
But it's a lot of money.
"How much does it cost to send an invitation letter?" Lin Yi asked.
"Five thousand, it must be legal. I'll take care of the procedures here, and you can take care of the shield over there yourself." Brother Shui said.
"Little brother, if you don't plan to come back, a trip by boat only costs two thousand."
Brother Shui once again reminded Lin Yi that if he wanted to sneak across, it would not save money to get an invitation letter or something.
"By the way, Brother Shui, are there any status restrictions when investing in Hong Kong? For example, with my status, am I allowed to invest and open a company in Hong Kong?" Lin Yi asked again.
Brother Shui thought for a while, "I don't understand this very well and have never done it before, but it's not easy to think about it. If you could go to Hong Kong to open a company and get a visa to travel freely, I'm afraid those leaders would have done it long ago."
Lin Yi thought about it too.
"Brother Shui, can you help me get an invitation letter?" Lin Yi said.
"Okay, you pay a deposit of 3,000 first, and I'll help you find a company in Hong Kong to issue an invitation letter. But I'm afraid I won't have time before the New Year. We'll have to wait until after the New Year. After you get the invitation letter, you can go to your own city.
It’s up to you how long it takes to get the protective shield done,” Brother Shui said.
Lin Yi did not hesitate, dug into his canvas bag, took out three large rolls and placed them on the desk in front of Brother Shui.
"That's troublesome for Brother Shui."
Brother Shui smiled and took the money, "Business? It's not troublesome."
Lin Yi was sitting on the train back to Jiangcheng, thinking about going to Hong Kong. In fact, he just wanted to see Hong Kong in the 1980s, which could be said to be the most prosperous, prosperous and peak era.
Hong Kong at that time,
There are row upon row of high-rise buildings, bustling and prosperous, and the neon lights of Hong Kong are intoxicating at night.
The name of the Four Asian Tigers is resounding all over the world.
There are also countless celebrities who have influenced an entire generation in China and even Asia.
In this era, if you don’t take a look, you always feel like something is missing.
certainly,
If there is an opportunity to make money, he will not let it go.
a few days later,
Lin Yi returned to Jiangcheng. There were only ten days left before the New Year. As soon as Lin Yi came back, he called Li Qianqian and Jiang Wu.
"How's the business at home?"
Li Xiangqian and Jiang Wu both looked excited and said, "Brother Yi, this is great."
The two began to report the situation.
During this week, clothing wholesale has become the bulk of all business, with more than 10,000 sets sold every day and a payment of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan recovered.
Now Li Xiangqian has accumulated more than 200,000 yuan in payment, which makes him excited and worried at the same time. Every day, Chen Ding, Li Jin, and He Xiaohe take turns watching with him.
"Brother Yi, the clothing factory has urged me several times, and Director Lu has also come over. I want to get the payment, but I don't dare to let them go without your nod," Li Xiangqian said.
Lin Yi thought about it and knew how anxious Factory Director Lu and the others would be. He smiled and said, "Tomorrow you inform the clothing factory and ask them to come and settle the payment."
"Okay." Li Qianqian responded.
There is also the calendar business, which is still very popular during this period, with sales of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a day, and the warehouse has bottomed out.
"It's best to clean it up at the end of the year. Once the calendar business is sold out, the calendar business will stop completely," Lin Yi said.
"Where's the lighter?" Lin Yi looked at Jiang Wu.
"The lighter business is also good. Now we can sell five to six thousand a day, and the flint factory is also waiting for settlement." Jiang Wu said with a smile.
It’s the end of the year,
They are all waiting for money to receive benefits.
"I'll also notify Factory Director Wang to come and settle the accounts tomorrow," Lin Yi said.
"And Brother Yi, those fake flowers have also been sent. According to the price you set before, we wholesale them at 45 cents per bunch. The sales are very good. About half of the more than 20,000 bunches per car have been sold," Li Xiangqian reported.
road.
In fact, the fake flower business is far less profitable than other businesses. Even if the entire cart is sold, the profit will only be one to two thousand yuan.
As for sunglasses,
Lin Yi sold out before restocking, so there is nothing to say.
Children's clothing, lighters, sunglasses, wall calendars, silk flowers, etc. are all making money. In fact, the 1980s was an era of barbaric growth in Chinese business. Many people seized the opportunity and made a huge fortune, becoming
A generation of rich people.
But in the 21st century, such opportunities no longer exist. Capital and technology monopolize everything, and the possibility of individuals getting ahead is slim.
The next day.
Director Lu is here.
We also brought the factory accountant.
After some calculation,
The total payment was two hundred and forty-three thousand. Li Xiangqian went to settle the accounts with the accountant, while Lin Yize and Factory Manager Lu were drinking tea in the house.
"In 10 days, more than 100,000 pieces will be sold. In the next ten days, we will probably sell this much more." Lin Yi said and poured a cup of tea for Director Lu.
Director Lu took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Yi and said in a sincere tone: "To be honest, I really want to thank you Xiao Lin this time. If it weren't for you, the garment factory would definitely have a lifeless Spring Festival this year."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Director Lu, I actually want to ask, after this batch of children's clothing is sold out, will we still cooperate?"
Director Lu thought for a while, "I'll go back and discuss it with other leaders in the factory, but in principle, I prefer to continue cooperation."
Lin Yi's face was full of smiles.
afternoon,
Director Wang of the Flintstone Factory also came. The moment he got the money, Director Wang was much more excited than Director Lu.
"The workers in the factory are eagerly watching me take the money back to pay benefits. With this money, I can now have a comfortable Spring Festival."
"Director Wang, we are giving out welfare during the holidays. Do you want a calendar and silk flowers?"
"It's hard for people like you not to make money."
Director Wang shook his head and said.
After arranging everything, Lin Yi took some time off again and looked at the funds in his wallet, which had increased by hundreds of thousands, approaching the 500,000 mark.
one million,
Just around the corner.
Lin Yi was lying on the couch, leaning on the pillow, and opened a Republic of China version of "The Golden Fen Family", but he had just glanced at Jiang Wu as he went upstairs.
"Brother Yi, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"The day before yesterday, I asked Doudou to go out to watch a movie. During the chat, Doudou told me that since Zuo Xiaoqing came home from the New Year's Day holiday, she has been applying incorrectly and is always depressed, as if she is hiding something big in her heart."
"One day when she returned to the dormitory, she saw Xiaoqing dazed with her math book. Doudou asked her what was wrong. Zuo Xiaoqing just said it was okay. Doudou felt that Zuo Xiaoqing was not in good condition, so she told me."
Lin Yi frowned slightly.
Could it be that Xiaoqing encountered something unpleasant when she went home, or encountered some difficulties at home?
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Qing are you working the day shift and the evening shift these days?" Lin Yi asked.
"Doudou works the night shift these days. They are just the opposite. Zuo Xiaoqing should be working the day shift and rests at night." Xiao Wu said.
"I see."
Xiao Wu goes down,
Lin Yi looked at the time and saw that it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. He put on his coat and went downstairs. He told Qianqian and the others that he would go out and rode his bicycle to the hospital.
