Yu Yongan naturally wanted to know if Yao Yuan had any orders.
"Old Yu, have you paid attention to the situation in the Soviet Union?" Yao Yuan asked.
Yu Yongan shook his head blankly, "It's too far away. That's Eastern Europe. I've done business with Finnish merchants before, but I don't know much about them."
"This batch of clothes I asked you to purchase is to be sold to Moscow. This is the first business before Yongsheng Garment Factory goes into production. You may have to spend this Spring Festival in Moscow. Are there any problems?"
Yao Yuan did not analyze the situation in Eastern Europe, but directly arranged work for Yu Yongan.
If Yu Yong'an inquires about the situation in Eastern Europe, Yao Yuan may reconsider cooperating with him. As long as he has some brains, he will naturally find a way to understand it later. If he doesn't even have this subjective initiative, he is obviously not a person who can do great things.
"Mr. Yao, as long as you make money, you can celebrate the New Year wherever you go, every day!" Yu Yongan said with a smile.
Yao Yuan smiled and nodded, told Yu Yongan the specific arrangements, and finally said, "I'll step in first, and you can organize people to get things done as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Yao, please rest assured."
After Yu Yongan left, Lin Xiaohu asked, "Ayuan, are you planning to go to Moscow?"
"Well." Yao Yuan said, "Originally we didn't plan to participate. Our strength is too weak. The main problem is the lack of foreign exchange. I didn't expect that things have changed so much in the past few days. Mitsubishi Motors has 10 million US dollars.
, $13 million from Walmart and Kroger.”
"Although I'm still a bit weak compared to those giants who make billions of dollars, at least I have the strength to participate in the pie. Xiaohu, let me tell you this, if the Spring Festival trip to Moscow goes well, you can have less struggle.
Twenty years!”
Lin Xiaohu was dubious and said, "Luo Hui from Sanqi Company has returned to the provincial capital. Their products should have arrived in the provincial capital. I asked Zhou Fei to return to the provincial capital to follow up."
"I'm not worried about his imitations taking over the market. I've said it before, the portable repair tool box is a one-time deal. If they want to rob it, just rob it."
Yao Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
Lin Xiaohu said, "I can see that you are worried."
"What I'm worried about is the crisis behind this." Yao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Luo Hui did this because of the support of the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau, maybe under the instructions of the Municipal Foreign Trade Bureau. Sanqi Company is a benchmark enterprise in the city.
, the relationship behind them is very strong and the background is very deep.”
"If we want to engage in machinery manufacturing, sooner or later we will have a conflict with Sanqi. In fact, there has already been a conflict. Once they know about the cooperation between BMW Machinery and Mitsubishi Motors, they will definitely regard us as a thorn in their side."
Yao Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Our foundation is too shallow. Before we have enough strength to protect ourselves, the best way is to develop in a low-key manner."
"So you should spend the money you earn as soon as possible now, just because you are worried that the city will..." Lin Xiaohu said in a deep voice.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly, "But don't worry too much. We are just fighting for time now. When they react, maybe we will have enough strength to protect ourselves."
"Get ready and return to Nangang today."
Lin Xiaohu asked, "Drive?"
"Drive. The two cars He Xueli was looking for have been bought. Let's drive back directly." Yao Yuan said.
That afternoon, Yao Yuan and his party left in a hurry, catching Deputy District Chief Yang off guard. Following Yao Yuan were Hong Jianhong and his party, as well as Yang Sheng and his party.
As a result, the convoy of six vehicles galloped back to Nangang. The visiting delegation organized by Changhong Factory had just received the news and was preparing to leave for Shenzhen City. Just as they set off, they received news that Yao Yuan had returned to Nangang. They turned around and headed straight to the city.
Bennan Port.
The opening of the Yuanda Electric Nangang flagship store is a big event right now!
After Lin Wei went to the provincial capital, the store decoration matters were handed over to Lu Gongming.
It was the first time he was responsible for a job independently. Lu Gongming was very motivated and worked hard. Like Hua Zhenghao, he saw with his own eyes the speed of development of his boss's career. If he didn't work hard to keep up, he would sooner or later be eliminated and become a peripheral.
personnel.
After Yao Yuan returned to Nangang, he went directly to the department store to check the renovation progress. The progress surprised him and said, "Gong Ming, you did a good job at this job. It has begun to take shape in just a few days. It's not bad!"
A monument like a sail was erected in front of the store, with the four characters "Yanda Electric" written on it, which can be clearly seen from a hundred or two hundred meters away.
Now it is still covered with red cloth, which attracts enough eyeballs and people's attention.
"Mr. Yao, Hua Zhenghao has contacted the city's newspapers and TV stations. The newspapers have no problem. As long as they pay, the Evening News is willing to give a full page of publicity. However, there is some trouble with the TV station, and Hua Zhenghao is still following up." Lu
Gongming did not take credit, but reported what happened to Hua Zhenghao.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly, said nothing, just smiled, and glanced at Yang Sheng beside him.
Yang Sheng was so excited that he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yao, I will coordinate with the TV station to ensure that the people in the city know about Yuanda Electric."
Yang Sheng was eager to have the opportunity to contribute to Yuanda Electrical Appliances.
Yuanda Trading was split into two, and the home appliance sales business was separated to establish Yuanda Electric. Yang Sheng thought it was just a store at first. On the way back, he learned that Yuanda Electric had placed a huge order of 60,000 appliances from several manufacturers, and it was just
Half a year's worth.
This is another powerful enterprise that does not show off its strength and leaks!
After the information about Yao Yuan was collected on Zhou Liang's desk, he made a careful analysis and found that this person was from an ordinary background, but his current industry seemed to have emerged overnight.
Zhou Liang believed that this was just a symptom, and there must be something going on that he hadn't yet grasped.
Based on the new situation, Zhou Liang decisively changed his strategy, changing from retaining Yuanda Trading to retaining Yao Yuan. As long as his heart is in Nangang, everything will be easy.
In the final analysis, the most important thing at the moment is the foreign trade order worth US$12.78 million.
"Brother, your store is big enough, with two floors, it must be 3,000 square meters, right?"
Hong Jianhong has seen a lot, and he is not surprised that Yao Yuan has Yuanda Electrical Appliances under his control. After all, he can get foreign trade orders of more than 10 million US dollars, so it is not surprising for several companies.
However, he has never seen a store with such a large area, except for department stores.
And the decoration layout is also very different.
"But I looked around and it seems like there is no counter installed?" Hong Jianhong said.
Yao Yuandao said, “There is no counter, all products are placed in an open manner, and customers can reach them at their fingertips, and they can even watch demonstrations on site.”
He pointed to the cashier inside and said, "There is only one counter in the store, which is the cashier."
Hong Jianhong looked at it and said with a smile, "The cashier is a bit stingy and not worthy of such a big store."
"Why does the collection area need to be so big?" Yao Yuan said with a smile.
The traditional shopping mall layout is that of a department store. The counter is high, the salesperson sits behind the counter, and the goods are placed on the shelves behind him. The customer and the goods are separated not only by the counter, but also by the high-level salesperson.
What became a standard layout in later generations seems novel now.
Yuanda Electric Nangang flagship store can no longer be called a store, it is simply a home appliances mall. Yao Yuan wants to build the Nangang flagship store into a benchmark, and all subsequent chain stores will follow unified decoration standards and unified layout.
"Mr. Yao, Vice Mayor Zhou is here." Yang Sheng jogged in and said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Yao Yuan looked at Yang Sheng and was very emotional.
This deputy director-level cadre in his forties, who follows himself around as a subordinate these days, has no leadership airs like when he was at the Sanqi Company exhibition area. He is also a person who can afford to take things on and let go, and he is willing to give up.
He can be considered a practical leader.
"Director Yang, you have worked hard these days." Yao Yuan said sincerely.
Yang Sheng almost burst into tears. It was only now that he realized how painful he was in the past few days that he had missed the opportunity. If he wanted to do everything possible to save Yao Yuan and his company, he had to risk his old face.
Finally, his efforts paid off, and Yao Yuan's words of thanks moved him.
What a twist!
After Zhou Liang received the news from Yang Sheng, he rushed over immediately, and the ongoing meeting ended early. Yang Sheng told him that Yao Yuan was disgusted with Wu Yangyang's group of followers, so Zhou Liang decisively kept the car simple and only brought him with him.
Secretary and driver.
Yao Yuan walked out quickly to welcome him, and Yang Sheng trotted in front to introduce him.
"Mayor Zhou, there are times when you are far away and there are times when you are far away." Yao Yuan held Zhou Liang's hand and said with a smile.
Zhou Liang knew that Yao Yuan was very young. Even so, he was still surprised when he saw the real person, "Mr. Yao is so young. He is indeed a hero. Mr. Yao is still a student of NPU. He is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Xihai County this year. He is also a young genius.
But that’s it!”
"Mayor Zhou is so complimentary." Yao Yuan was very steady, very steady.
If you want to chat, just chat. He didn't mention the foreign trade orders at all.
Zhou Liang was also very steady. After a few words of greeting, he and Yao Yuan walked to the side to talk, while the others waited beside him knowingly.
"Classmate Yao Yuan, I am also a graduate of NPU. After all, I am your senior brother. You and I are a family." Zhou Liang said with a smile, "I have to inform you about a situation. Something happened in the dormitory of Xihai Library last night.
In a criminal case, the victim’s name is Yao Li, your biological sister.”
Upon hearing this, Yao Yuan's expression immediately changed and became very grim.
"How is my sister?" Yao Yuan asked coldly.
Even Zhou Liang, who had been in the officialdom for so many years, felt the murderous aura in Yao Yuan at this time. This young man was really not an ordinary person.
Zhou Liang said with a smile, "Everyone is fine. Our police arrived in time and killed the criminal who intended to commit murder on the spot. Comrade Yao Li was not injured at all. The criminal's name was Zhou Weihong. According to Comrade Yao Li, there was a previous agreement between the two.
There was a marriage rumored. But don’t worry, I’ve already had someone check it out.”
Yao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mayor Zhou, thank you very much."
He knew that Zhou Liang wanted to tell him this matter in person in order to sell him a favor, which happened to be what Yao Yuan valued most.
The guilt he feels toward his sister stems from his previous life. In this life, as long as his sister lives a happy life, Yao Yuan is willing to give anything.
"The comrades in Xihai reported that Comrade Yao Li has done an outstanding job, and the city government just needs a comrade with a strong sense of responsibility and outstanding work ability. The organization is considering transferring Comrade Yao Li to work in the city government." Zhou Liang continued to sell favors.
However, Yao Yuan refused, "Mayor Zhou, I received the mood for my eldest sister. My eldest sister likes peace and quiet, and she likes working in the library very much."
Zhou Liang was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, if Comrade Yao Li is transferred to the city library, the environment in the city will be better than that in the county."
"Thank you, Mayor Zhou." Yao Yuan refused.
Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was time to talk about the topic.
