Ma Hongtao is the leader of the younger generation of the Ma family outside the Great Wall. He is only 25 years old, but his cultivation has reached the mid-level Xuan level. He is also gifted with divine power. He is known as Li Yuanba Outside the Great Wall, especially for his strong wind fist technique passed down from his family.
, under the careful guidance of Ma Sihai, the head of the Ma family, it can be said that he has become so skilled that he has few opponents among the younger generation. He can even leapfrog and challenge masters at the late Xuan level, and is deeply loved by Ma Sihai.
Although Ma Sihai did not say it openly, everyone in the Ma family also knew that Ma Sihai was grooming Ma Hongtao as the future head of the Ma family.
When the Ma family reaches Ma Hongtao's generation, the Ma family's biggest dilemma is that they have no money and are in urgent need of making money.
Sihai wanted to try and bring his family's business to a big city, so when he came to Shanghai City this time, Ma Sihai didn't come by himself. He brought many people from the family, including Ma Hongtao.
Growing up in a poor place outside the Great Wall, the Ma family's main industry is still animal husbandry. Ma
Sihai heard that people in big cities now like some unique local products from other places, so they got excited and decided to build several Mongolian local product supermarkets in big cities.
Shanghai City was Ma Sihai’s first pilot project, and Ma Sihai also handed over this arduous task to his favorite grandson, Ma Hongtao. Press
According to Ma Sihai's idea, once Ma Hongtao can open up the market here and solve the family's financial difficulties, no one will stop him from supporting Ma Hongtao to become the head of the family in the future. After all,
After all, the Ma family is a very large family, and there are many outstanding brothers of Ma Hongtao's generation. If Ma Hongtao is not asked to achieve some political achievements, his brothers may not be able to obey Ma Hongtao in the future. "
Hey! There are so many people in this damn big Shanghai City, how come no one comes to our store to buy something?" In front of a relatively remote store in the city, Ma Hongtao shook his big head and looked at me with a sad look on his face.
Pacing back and forth at the door. Looking.
Although there are many people coming and going, few people come into the store to buy things. Occasionally, some people come to the store to have a look, but as soon as they see the price, they all find it too expensive and leave.
"Who the hell told grandpa that people in Dashanghai are rich and don't lack money. You can make a lot of money by doing business. It's just fucking bullshit." Ma said with a sad look on his face.
After Hong Tao cursed angrily, he picked up a bottle of kumiss next to him and started drinking it.
Although Ma Hongtao is considered a genius in terms of martial arts attainments and can basically learn all martial arts moves instantly, his business acumen is a question mark.
The grassland local specialty supermarket has been operating for nearly half a month, but the business is extremely bleak. Let alone making money, it is simply unable to make ends meet. It can't even sell the room for a day. If this continues, I will lose money.
Can't even put it on.
Hong Tao was sitting on the steps in front of the store. He was feeling worried and drunk. A Mercedes-Benz luxury car suddenly stopped in front of the store. Seeing this scene, Ma Hongtao thought it was business coming to the door. He was overjoyed and hurriedly put down his hands.
The kumiss stood up.
The door of the luxury car opened, and a lady in her fifties and a young man stepped out.
After seeing the lady, Ma Hongtao's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he still smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Ma Hongtao said.
The two people who came were none other than Wang Caihong, who suffered a great humiliation at the hands of Li Erdan yesterday, and Zheng Xiaolong's mother and son. Yesterday
That night, the mother and son decided to use a borrowed knife strategy to use people from the Ma family to help them deal with Li Erdan. So early this morning, they couldn't wait to drive to the Ma family's shop.
Wang Caihong personally helped run Ma's store, from location selection to all procedures. Zheng
Although the family has strong financial resources, it also needs a big family like the Ma family with outstanding military value as an ally. According to Zheng Guoju, the old man of the Zheng family, as long as the Ma family can give them some small favors and help them in difficulties, they can become a powerful family in the future.
My own big help.
Because after so many years, the more contact Zheng Guoju has with the upper-class families in the outside world, the more he understands that it is not possible to become one of the top families in the country just by relying on strong financial resources. It is at best a business family. If he really wants to join the ranks of the first-class families, he must ultimately rely on
Whose fist is stronger?
So when Ma Sihai, the old man of the Ma family, approached Zheng Guoju and asked for Zheng Guoju's help in running a small business in Shanghai City, hoping that the Zheng family could take care of it, Zheng Guoju, an old fox, knew that his opportunity to win over a super awesome ally had come, so he personally
He ordered his eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Caihong, to help the Ma family properly and not be careless in any way.
"Haitao, why are you sitting outside alone with Menjiu? Auntie, I haven't been here for several days. Business has been booming recently." Wang Caihong greeted with a smile. "
Hey! Auntie, forget it, you said why is this business so difficult to do?" Ma Hongtao couldn't help but sigh. Look.
Seeing Ma Hongtao sighing, Wang Caihong couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt in his heart.
Silly old man, it’s no wonder you can make money by doing this kind of business.
As the daughter-in-law of the head of the Zheng family, Wang Caihong still has some business acumen. From the Ma family's operation of this local specialty supermarket, Wang Caihong saw that there was a problem.
In Greater Shanghai, local specialty supermarkets like those opened by Ma's are not everywhere, but they are definitely not rare.
However, most of them sell dog meat with sheep heads, and more than 50% of them are fake products, such as kumiss, specialty cheese, dried beef jerky, various mushrooms, etc.
In other stores, if the product can reach 50% genuine, then the owner is considered to have a conscience.
Therefore, in these souvenir shops, things are sold very cheaply, so the business may not be very good, but the profit is enough. Anyway, not many people have eaten and drank these souvenirs. Who knows that these things are adulterated.
As for the Ma family, the entire family is stuck in business and doesn't know how to operate flexibly. They don't even know how their competitors make money. They stupidly just sell it like this, and the price is nearly a year higher than that of their peers.
times. quotient
Haishi is an international metropolis and there is no doubt that Shanghai people are rich. However, Shanghai people are very calculating and stingy throughout China. The same thing in your store is twice as expensive as others. Only if someone buys it
Weird. When
Of course, the items in Ma’s local specialty supermarket are definitely genuine and good. Although the prices are high, if you have connections, you really won’t be afraid of losing the market. Close
The key is that the Ma family may have lived in a place with simple folk customs like the grassland since they were young. They have poor interpersonal communication, are not flexible enough in thinking, and have a down-to-earth attitude. It is difficult to survive in the intrigues of the big city. Shop
As soon as the restaurant opened, Wang Caihong noticed a problem. At that time, Wang Caihong found the old man of the Zheng family, Zheng Guoju, and told him that the Ma family's business would never make money.
However, the old man of the Zheng family smiled slightly and told Wang Caihong. "
It's better if the Ma family doesn't make money. It's better to let them pay off a lot of foreign debts. You don't have to worry about their Ma family's business. Just respond to requests. If you are short of money, supplies, or people, our Zheng family will take care of it, but absolutely
We can't help them make money with ideas. What our Zheng family has to do is to make the Ma family owe our Zheng family more favors. When they are unable to survive and cannot survive, our Zheng family will step forward to give them a hand. Don't you think so?
Never heard of such a saying? It’s better to add icing on the cake than to provide help when needed.”
