Chapter 24 Abao: Has the Yellow River Road changed?
The reason why Golden Phoenix was able to catch up from behind and become the restaurant with the best business on Huanghe Road is not only because the proprietress is good at dancing, but the internal hardware is also first-rate.
This is Qin Hao's first time to Jinfenghuang. As soon as he stepped into the lobby, he saw a huge chandelier inlaid with gorgeous crystals. It hung from the ceiling on the third floor and hung down into the lobby on the first floor. The crystal chandelier exuded dazzling light and illuminated the entire hall.
The hall was illuminated like daylight.
If you look at it with the aesthetics of 20 years later, this place will undoubtedly look a bit vulgar, but in 1989, such a splendid decoration style was popular. Those who came to eat on Huanghe Road did not eat food, but business and opportunities.
Only when you have enough pomp and face and enough face can you do business easily.
"Ouch, I asked why there were magpies chirping outside my window early this morning. It turns out that I know that there are distinguished guests coming today." A graceful woman in her thirties wearing a purple cheongsam and still retaining her charm walked gracefully.
With quick steps, he came to Qin Hao.
Tao Tao was obviously stunned by Jin Fenghuang's dress. She was stunned for a while and then introduced to Qin Hao: "Ah Hao, this is the boss lady of Jin Fenghuang. She is famous for her sweet songs and beautiful people."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Qin Hao said politely to Jin Fenghuang: "I have heard of the name of the landlady for a long time. I'm glad to meet you."
The smile on Jin Fenghuang's face faltered. As a proprietress who can open a restaurant on Huanghe Road, observing words and emotions is a basic skill. Although Qin Hao's words were quite polite, she could feel that the other party was deliberately keeping a distance.
"Mr. Qin is really good at joking. I have admired you for a long time. I have to ask you to take more care of my business in the future."
Qin Hao just smiled politely and did not continue to answer.
Just when Jin Fenghuang was still a little reluctant and wanted to continue talking, many bosses had already gathered around him.
"Mr. Qin, I am from Ninghai Textile Factory. The socks produced by our factory are of good quality and cheap. You..."
"Mr. Qin, I am from Wenzhou Jiangnan Leather Shoe Factory..."
"Oh, don't squeeze in the back..."
Seeing more and more people coming around, Qin Hao bowed his hands to everyone: "Everyone, I am here to have a drink and entertainment with my brothers today. I only talk about romance and not business. If you are looking for business cooperation, as long as the product is of high quality, fashionable and capable,
To win the favor of customers, the door of Vientiane Plaza Investment Department will always be open to everyone."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the second floor. Upon seeing this, Tao Tao quickly followed.
In the largest private room on the top floor, Tao Tao poured a cup of tea for Qin Hao in a flattering manner: "The food here at Golden Phoenix is pretty good, right, boss lady?"
Jin Fenghuang smiled charmingly: "Yes, Mr. Qin, I dare not say anything else. The salt and pepper king snake in our store is the best in the entire Huanghe Road."
Qin Hao didn't answer the call. He glanced at his watch, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number. However, after dialing several times, he still couldn't get through. The mobile phone signal is really poor these days. Even if it's just a broken brick in the mainland, it still doesn't work.
It sells for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each, and you have to rely on connections to buy it. To be honest, if it weren't for the inconvenience of not carrying a mobile phone when going out, Qin Hao would have no interest in this thing at all.
After finally dialing the number, there was a garbled sound on the other end of the phone.
"I'm at Golden Phoenix. Which box are you in? I'll come up and find you."
Qin Hao looked at Golden Phoenix.
"The house is full of gold and jade."
"It's full of gold and jade on the top floor. You can just come up."
In the hall, as soon as Abao hung up the phone, Manager Pan came up from the stairs and said, "Bao always made an appointment with Mr. Qin and Boss Tao, right? Come with me."
When the manufacturer representatives in the hall heard that Abao had made an appointment with Qin Hao, they immediately gathered around him, handing him cigarettes and business cards.
"Mr. Bao, this is my business card. You must need a factory to do foreign trade. Just say a word and I will leave all the production capacity of the Ala factory to you."
"Mr. Bao, do you still remember me? The knitted sweater you ordered last time was made by our factory. You know the quality of our factory. There is no problem with exporting. Could you please help me say something nice in front of Mr. Qin?"
sentence......."
Faced with this turbulent scene, Abao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Finally, Manager Pan pulled him and he realized what he was doing and hurriedly followed him upstairs.
When they got to the second floor, Abao asked with some confusion: "What happened to these people?"
Manager Pan asked curiously: "Mr. Bao, hasn't he been in Shanghai recently?"
"Yes, I was dealing with a foreign trade order in another place, and I went to Anhui to collect treasury bonds for a while. Why did I come back and feel that the Yellow River Road has changed?"
"One day Mr. Bao goes for a walk on Nanjing Road and you will understand why."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of Jinyumantang's box.
"Mr. Bao, please."
The awkward atmosphere in the box was instantly dispersed by Ah Bao's arrival. Tao Tao stepped forward and gave Ah Bao a bear hug.
"You are late again, kid. I will punish you with a drink later."
As Bao took off his coat, he recounted what happened downstairs.
Tao Tao patted his shoulder, walked behind Qin Hao, and said funnyly: "You are right, the Yellow River Road has indeed changed."
"Do you know what happened in the more than a month since you left Shanghai? Hulian Commercial Building knows that it is no longer working. Now it is Ahao's Vientiane Plaza that leads Shanghai's fashion!"
Abao subconsciously looked at Jin Fenghuang and Manager Pan on the side. Based on his understanding of Tao Tao, what this guy said was often unrealistic. However, judging from the expressions of Jin Fenghuang and Manager Pan, Tao Tao didn't seem to be happy this time.
Didn't lie.
Only then did Abao believe that Vientiane Plaza was indeed popular, and it should not be an ordinary one, otherwise the manufacturer representatives in the hall would not be so enthusiastic towards him.
"Ah Hao, how did you do it?" Ah Bao became interested. Although he had always been very confident in Qin Hao and knew that Vientiane Plaza would definitely become popular, in just one month, it squeezed out the Hulian Commercial Building and became the entire Shanghai
Fashion trendsetter, this speed is too fast, right?
Qin Hao did not answer directly, but motioned for Abao to sit down first, and then took out the menu: "See what you want to eat, order first, and chat while eating."
Abao took the menu knowingly, added two more local dishes, and said to Jin Fenghuang: "Mrs. Boss, please help us order the dishes. I just came back from out of town and I'm very hungry."
Although Jin Fenghuang was unwilling, he could only exit the box with Manager Pan.
"Didn't we always have dinner on Couling Road in the past? Why did it change to Huanghe Road today?" Abao asked casually.
Qin Hao glared at Tao Tao angrily: "Now we have to ask our boss Tao."
Tao Tao was so embarrassed that he almost buried his face under the table.
Abao also grew up with Tao Tao, and he instantly understood: "I must be unable to bear the boss lady's request."
"Taotao, I'm warning you, you have a family now..."
Tao Tao retorted with a guilty conscience: "Oh, please stop talking nonsense, okay? I swear to God, if I do something that's sorry for Fangmei, I'll be hit by a car when I go out..."
Abao quickly stopped him: "I just said it casually. Look at how you swear and swear. I'm not your sister. If you want to show your loyalty, you can do it at home."
Fortunately, at this time, the waiter came in to serve the food, and Tao Tao quickly took the opportunity to force Abao to drink as a penalty and change the subject.
After working in foreign trade for a year, A Bao dare not say anything else. He is definitely good at drinking. These days, most business is negotiated over the wine table.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Bao, Mr. Tao, please take it easy." Manager Pan was also very sensible and left after serving the food.
A Bao ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables, padded his stomach, and said to Qin Hao: "Hey, what happened in the month I left? I want to tell you."
Before Qin Hao opened his mouth, Tao Tao began to vividly describe the grand opening of Vientiane Plaza.
Abao listened very carefully. Although he knew that what Tao Tao said must be exaggerated, it was still an angle to understand the incident.
When he heard that Qin Hao invited Chow Yun-fat and Zhao Yazhi to attend the opening ceremony, Abao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Ah Hao, this opening ceremony was beautifully held. I learned another trick from you."
After saying that, he toasted Qin Hao with a glass of wine.
Then Abao asked Tao Tao to stop talking and listen carefully to Qin Hao's version.
A layman sees the excitement, an expert sees the door. Now, under the guidance of his uncle, A Bao is already well on his way to doing business. Unlike Tao Tao, who only knows that Qin Hao invites celebrities to build his reputation, he can learn from Qin Hao's story.
How to coordinate planning and publicity and build momentum.
After listening to Qin Hao's narration of the entire process, Abao couldn't help but sigh: "Hulian Commercial Building did not lose unfairly."
Tao Tao had no ambitions or interest in doing business, and her motivation waned after hearing this. When Qin Hao finally finished speaking, she quickly took the two of them to drink together.
After that, Qin Hao and the other three stopped talking about business matters and reminisced about the past while drinking. During this period, Jin Fenghuang came again, but this time even Tao Tao's attention was not on her, and she could only retreat in depression.
Got out.
Just when A Bao and Tao Tao were almost drunk and Qin Hao was about to pay the bill to send them back, the box door was kicked open.
At first, Qin Hao thought someone was here to cause trouble, but it turned out that a young girl broke in.
Still with that eye-catching big wave, still with her hands on her hips, Wang Mingzhu shouted at A Bao: "Why are you still in the mood to drink here? Do you know that something big has happened?"
Abao was obviously drunk. He stared at Wang Mingzhu for a long time before he recognized her, waved to her and invited her to sit down and eat with him.
"How much has he drunk?" Wang Mingzhu asked Qin Hao, the only sober person in the box.
Qin Hao spread his hands: "It's just a pound of white wine."
Wang Mingzhu walked up to A Bao angrily and slapped him on the shoulder: "Wake up! There was something wrong with Xiao Ningbo's order last time. The Japanese customer wanted to return it. We are all anxious. You still have it?"
I’m in the mood to drink here.”
Abao was slapped by her and slipped directly from the table to the ground.
"Okay, he's so drunk that he can't handle it even if he wakes up. Let's let him rest for a night and wait until tomorrow." Qin Hao stepped forward and helped Ah Bao up.
Wang Mingzhu stamped her feet anxiously: "No, the Japanese customers found broken needles in the clothes we exported. They demanded an immediate reply, or they would return all the goods, and we would bear all the losses."
!”
"That's an order of nearly 600 million yen!"
Qin Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard this. After the Plaza Accord, the yen began to appreciate rapidly. By 1989, the purchasing power of the yen was already quite amazing. 600 million yen was equivalent to 5 million U.S. dollars. This was indeed not a small amount of money.
"It's also night over in Japan, are you sure they have to give you a reply tonight?" Qin Hao asked.
Wang Mingzhu was so anxious: "That's what the translated document said."
"Is the original Japanese text available?"
"Yes, what do you want to do?"
Qin Hao stretched out his hand: "I happen to know a little Japanese."
Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao warily: "This is a document of our foreign trade company and cannot be shown to outsiders."
"Then I can't help you." Qin Hao spread his hands directly, looking helpless.
Wang Mingzhu tried to take a picture of Ah Bao again, but it turned out that maybe she was too tired recently and drank a lot of wine, so she couldn't wake up no matter how hard she took the picture.
Seeing this, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Mingzhu took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Qin Hao, not forgetting to warn: "After you read it, you can't reveal it, otherwise the Japanese customers will know that we are
There will be a lawsuit."
Qin Hao ignored it and read the fax sent from Japan.
After just glancing at it, Qin Hao returned the document to Wang Mingzhu.
"Okay, don't bother Po, Sugimoto Co., Ltd. has decided to return it."
"Ah? How could this happen? Don't you want us to give you an answer?" Wang Mingzhu became even more panicked after hearing this.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qin Hao shook his head: "Japan's requirements for textile imports are in line with those of Europe and the United States. It is a serious problem to find broken needles in products. Such products
If the product is sold to a customer and the customer is scratched, it will be a serious blow to their company's reputation, and they will not accept explanations such as carelessness."
"Then...is there no room for maneuver in this matter?" Wang Mingzhu looked like she was about to cry at any time.
Qin Hao couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
"Do you have any sympathy? What's so funny? Have you ever seen a girl cry?" Wang Mingzhu glared at Qin Hao angrily, not to mention she looked angry and crying.
Paired with her wavy hairstyle, it's really funny.
"Okay, I won't laugh. I promise not to laugh."
Seeing that Wang Mingzhu was getting impatient, Qin Hao stopped.
"There is no room for maneuver..."
Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao eagerly: "Do you have any idea?"
"There must be a way, but it's too late now. Let's go tomorrow. Tomorrow you and Abao come to see me at Vientiane Plaza. You'll know then."
Wang Mingzhu took off her glasses, wiped her tears, and looked pitiful: "Can't we solve it now? I won't be able to sleep at night."
"At this point, even if I have a trust relationship, I have to consider whether the person is drinking or falling asleep, right?"
With that said, Qin Hao waved to Wang Mingzhu: "Help me, help me get these two things into the car."
"Oh." Wang Mingzhu reluctantly stepped forward to help A Bao's arm.
After collecting a stack of business cards along the way, Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu stuffed A Bao and Tao Tao into the back seats with the help of several Golden Phoenix waiters.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Qin Hao first asked the driver Xiao Li to send A Bao and Tao Tao to his home, and then called a taxi.
Wang Mingzhu hesitated: "Don't bother, I'll just go back by myself."
"The public security in Shanghai is not very good recently. Some robbers are specifically looking for young and beautiful girls like you to attack."
"Stop scaring people. I practiced martial arts in the Children's Palace when I was a child, so I'm not afraid."
Wang Mingzhu said this, and finally opened the car door obediently.
