Tao Tao almost bit his tongue. Twenty to thirty million yuan is not much? How much is too much? Originally, he thought that making ten thousand yuan a month was already very powerful, but with Qin Hao, these two or three
Compared with millions of people, it is completely worth mentioning.
"What have you been doing in Hong Kong for the past six months? How did you make so much money?"
"I opened a supermarket, but the supermarket has not recovered its capital yet. I mainly made money from stock trading, and I also have a partner, who is Bao's brother in Hong Kong."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, Tao Tao finally accepted it.
"I said, come and have a drink."
After eating and drinking in the small restaurant, Qin Hao took Tao Tao back home. As soon as he entered the alley, many neighbors greeted Qin Hao.
"Hey, Ah Hao is back. I heard that you went to Hong Kong to make a lot of money. Is it true?"
Tao Tao slapped her chest: "That can still be fake. Look at the suit A Hao is wearing. It's Armani, a world-famous brand. A suit costs several thousand Hong Kong dollars."
"Oh, isn't that just putting a suit on your body?"
"I've been saying since I was a kid that Ah Hao has a lot of potential. You see, it works..."
Seeing that the neighbors tended to gather together to "watch the monkeys", Qin Hao quickly said a few perfunctory words and pulled Tao Tao home.
"There's no need to publicize it for me like this, right?" Qin Hao knew without asking that these neighbors knew that he went to Hong Kong to do business, and it must have been spread by Tao Tao.
Tao Tao said sternly: "You don't know how realistic your neighbors are. If you didn't come back for half a year, if I knew you were not doing well, your door would have turned into a garbage dump by now."
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh. Don't tell me, it is really possible. Real life is sometimes like this. Didn't Huang Bo say something? When you are doing well, you will find that there are good people around you. The opposite is true.
And Yu, when you are not doing well, there are basically no good people around you.
When I got home and opened the door, I saw that the room had obviously been cleaned and tidied up. It couldn't be like this if it hadn't been occupied for half a year.
"Thanks."
No need to ask, Tao Tao must have hired someone to do it.
Tao Tao glared at Qin Hao: "You said thank you to me."
"Okay, it's my fault. I'll punish myself with three drinks in the evening."
"This is what you said yourself. You are not allowed to default on your debt."
Qin Hao sorted out the things at home, packed all the valuables in a package, and put them back in the cabinet under the bed.
"Please help me find out if there are any old single-family houses that I want to sell."
Tao Tao shook his head when he heard this: "What's so good about living in an old bungalow? Nowadays it's popular to live in a building."
"I still like to live in old bungalows. Please help me find out. The price is not a problem." Qin Hao laughed. From now on, high-rise buildings will be everywhere. Old bungalows will be rare in the future, not to mention the old bungalows in Shanghai. Their value is not inferior to that in Beijing.
Siheyuan is okay.
"Okay, I'll ask you later."
"Let's go, let's go to Nanjing Road for a walk first. It's almost time for Po to arrive."
"Um."
Afterwards, Qin Hao and Tao Tao went to Nanjing Road. In 1987, Nanjing Road was definitely the top place in Shanghai. All the highest-end shopping malls in Shanghai were gathered here. Even if it was not a holiday, it was always crowded. There was even a saying.
: If you haven’t been to Nanjing Road, you haven’t been to Shanghai. It means you’re not a true man if you haven’t visited the Great Wall.
Qin Hao remembered that the last time he came to Nanjing Road was three years ago. Three years later, the most obvious change is that the clothes of people on Nanjing Road have become more fashionable and the colors have become brighter.
When he came to Nanjing Road in 1984, Qin Hao remembered that when he looked around, it was still mainly blue, gray and green.
Qin Hao and Tao Tao's first stop was at Hulian Commercial Building, which is also the most luxurious department store in Shanghai. Many foreign famous brands are not sold in other stores except this one.
Compared with boutique shopping malls, Hulian Commercial Building has relatively less traffic. After all, the products here were almost all luxuries for the income of ordinary people in the 1980s.
"Is this the Hulian Commercial Building? It looks so high-end."
A round-faced woman said excitedly to the big waves around her.
Da Lang wore glasses and had a calm look on his face: "Really? I don't think it's high-end. Instead, it's a bit rustic, just like a hotel."
Qin Hao followed the sound and looked over, and couldn't help being slightly startled. Isn't this the Big Wave Wang Mingzhu?
"Ah Hao, let's go upstairs for a walk."
"Um."
Qin Hao averted his eyes and followed Tao Tao to the second floor. As a result, Tao Tao went directly to the cosmetics counter.
"Miss, which cream is best? Can you recommend it to me?"
"Sir, are you buying this for your girlfriend? We have a lot of friendship here, and the Pechoin is suitable for giving away."
"Yeah, then you can get one for me and wrap it up for me to look nice."
"OK."
Seeing this, Qin Hao joked: "Is it for Fang Mei?"
Tao Tao's eyes were a little evasive: "That Fang sister often helps me look after the stall and kills fish all day long. Especially in winter, when it's freezing, her hands often get cracked. I don't give her a salary, so I just buy her a gift."
"Oh~~~"
"Don't talk nonsense in front of others. She and I are just ordinary friends."
"My ordinary friend, why are you so nervous?"
"How can I be nervous? You are nervous."
Poof, a few chuckles came from behind. Tao Tao turned around and saw that it was the big wave he had just seen downstairs. He glared at her angrily: "What's so funny."
Big Wave also showed no signs of weakness: "This is a public place, which law stipulates that you are not allowed to laugh?"
One sentence made Tao Tao stutter. Qin Hao was just watching the show when he was dragged away by Tao Tao who became angry and embarrassed.
"We are no longer brothers. We join forces with outsiders to watch my jokes."
Facing Tao Tao's question, Qin Hao was amused: "Then I can't just beat her up just because she laughed at you, right?"
Tao Tao was speechless and could only say harsh words: "Don't let me see that big wave again in the future, otherwise I will definitely make her look good."
After walking around the Hulian Commercial Building and checking that the time had reached six o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Hao and Tao Tao went to Huanghe Road. This time they went to RiRi Xian, which was the first restaurant that signed a contract with Tao Tao.
As soon as we entered the box, the landlady came.
"Mr. Qin, boss Tao, long time no see." The landlady said to Qin Hao with a smile: "Mr. Qin is a rare visitor. I heard that you went to Hong Kong to make a fortune. I thought you were fascinated by the colorful world of Hong Kong and forgot about Shanghai.
.”
"What did the landlady say? No matter how good Hong Kong is, it's still business. Shanghai is my home. How can I forget home? Besides, no one can forget you, landlady. You were the number one on the Yellow River road back then.
A person who supports us." Qin Hao said casually.
The landlady smiled so hard that her fans dropped a few layers: "After all, you have seen the big world, and these words are so nice. It's rare that Mr. Qin is here to support me today. If you need anything, just tell me."
"I'm sure, I won't be polite to anyone else, but I won't be polite to you, the boss lady."
"That's good. When you get here, it's like you're at your own home."
After greetings, the proprietress of RiRiXian went out. After a while, when the food was served, the head waiter specially brought a dish of braised Wuchang fish and two bottles of Maotai.
"Mr. Qin, this braised Wuchang fish is our landlady's hometown dish. She asked the chef to make it herself. Please give us your valuable advice."
"Well, this braised Wuchang fish has fine and glutinous meat, is oily and smooth, and is as delicious as seafood. It is worthy of being the signature dish of RiRi Xian. Thank you boss lady for me."
"As long as you are satisfied, then I won't disturb Mr. Qin and Boss Tao from eating. If you need anything, call me anytime."
After the foreman left, Tao Tao took a piece of fish and said with some confusion: "The boss lady is bringing food, why is she sending braised Wuchang fish instead of West Lake vinegar fish? I have never seen you eating Hubei food before."
Qin Hao said sternly: "This is what you should learn from the landlady. What you give out for free should also have its value. For example, if you have leftover seafood that you can't sell out every day, can you give some to others to try?
Others will buy from you only if they think it tastes delicious."
"Similarly, what does the proprietress mean by sending this dish? She wants to promote Hubei cuisine and open a restaurant on Huanghe Road. The most important thing is to have her own characteristics and find her own customer base. This is the basic dish of RiRi Xian. In this
We will then develop other customers based on our basic base.”
"Many things in business are actually similar. As long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find the rules."
Tao Tao frowned when he heard this: "I'm not as fussy as you, I'd better just sell my seafood honestly."
Qin Hao smiled and did not continue to persuade. Everyone has their own ambitions, as long as they live happily.
While they were talking, the dishes were served, but A Bao was still missing. Tao Tao couldn't help but feel anxious: "The dishes are already cold, has A Bao come back?"
"Call his home and ask."
Afterwards, Tao Tao went to the front desk of the hotel to borrow a phone. After dialing the number, Tao Tao was stunned before he said a few words.
"What's wrong?" Qin Hao asked doubtfully.
"Come on, A Bao has been arrested."
"Hey, Boss Tao, you haven't started eating yet."
"It's too late. The account is on me. I'll pay it later."
In the taxi, Qin Hao realized that it was A Bao who was squandering treasury bills and was detained by the station police office when he left the train station. A Bao's mother on the other end of the phone was not in a stable mood and did not explain it clearly. She just said A Bao.
Bao's father is already looking for a relationship.
When he arrived at the train station, Qin Hao handed two Chinese characters to a station staff member and then found out what was going on.
It's also Po's bad luck. In the past two years, many migrant workers have come to Shanghai to work, which has led to poor social security, so patrols have been stepped up. There happened to be a thief that day. After he was caught stealing something, he ran out.
As a result, Abao's backpack was knocked off at once. The zipper of that backpack was not of good quality and it cracked immediately, and then the treasury bills were scattered on the floor.
This time, the railway policemen who were chasing after them pinned both of them down, and both of them got the stolen goods.
If the reselling of treasury bonds had been carried out a few years ago, it would have definitely been a prison sentence. Fortunately, the policy has been relaxed in the past two years, so there is no room for maneuver.
Thanks to a trick learned by A Bao and Qin Hao, these treasury bills were exchanged in Shanghai on behalf of a certain collective enterprise, and people were arranged to answer the phone there. After the railway police verified that the information was correct, they came to Shanghai later.
Po was still released in the middle of the night, but of course the treasury bills were confiscated.
"Abao, how are you? They didn't beat you, right?" Tao Tao asked with concern when he saw that Abao had been shaking since he came out of the police room.
Abao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He waited until he got into the taxi before letting out a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. I almost thought I was going to jail."
After he finally came to his senses, Abao gave Qin Hao a forced smile: "I'm sorry, I kept you waiting for too long."
"If you say such a thing, I will punish you with three drinks tomorrow."
Before Qin Hao opened his mouth, Tao Tao stared at Abao dissatisfied.
"Okay, three cups will be three cups."
Then the two of them sent A Bao home directly, said hello to A Bao's parents, and left in a smart manner.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Qin Hao and Tao Tao received a call from Abao, and the three of them came to Huanghe Road again.
Tao Tao ordered a table of the same dishes as last night. Before the dishes were served, she asked Abao to give him the three glasses of wine he had promised yesterday.
Abao drank three glasses of wine in a row and his face turned a little red.
"Oh, you don't know. When those treasury bills fell out yesterday, I was completely stunned. I was held down by two railway policemen just as I was about to run away. At that time, I had one thought: It's over."
Hearing this, Tao Tao was frightened for a while: "Isn't that true? Yesterday I called your home and your mother was crying. I was shocked at that time and hurriedly took Ah Hao to the train station."
"Otherwise, you'd better stop doing this treasury bond business. You were lucky enough to be caught by the railway police this time, instead of falling into the hands of the police directly. Otherwise, if you look back and find out the origin of these treasury bonds, you might really be sentenced."
Abao made a sad face: "But if I don't do this, what can I do?"
"Do foreign trade. Selling treasury bills is not a long-term solution. Now that you have the starting capital, there is no need to continue to take risks." Qin Hao thought for a while and persuaded A Bao to give up selling treasury bills. Although this thing can bring in money quickly, it is not worth it.
After all, it can’t be considered a career.
"Foreign trade? I have never done foreign trade. Isn't it difficult to find this way?" Abao looked at Qin Hao in surprise.
Qin Hao smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten what your brother and I do in Hong Kong? Helping you get some foreign trade orders is not easy. As long as you can find a factory here to take over, orders are not a problem.
"
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Seeing this, Tao Tao made a fuss about Ah Bao and started drinking again. By the time the food was served, Ah Bao was already tipsy. It seemed that he would not stop until he was completely drunk today.
Qin Hao was moved in his heart. When he talked about foreign trade, he suddenly thought of the great uncle in the play. According to time, this man should have graduated from "Tilanqiao College" soon, right?
As Po's think tank in the play, he also single-handedly trained Po to become Mr. Po's "golden finger". There is no doubt about Uncle Ye's ability. If he can be brought under his command, it may save him a lot of trouble.
