A few days later, Wang Kongwen visited again, bringing with him one million in cash.
All the money was packed in suitcases, full of money.
"Mr. Cao, I'm here to sign an agency contract with you."
Wang Kongwen said loudly.
Cao Weidong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Wang Kongwen to be able to collect one million in such a short period of time. He thought he would have to wait for a while.
You must know that banks began to encourage personal loans in 1995, and it is only 1982. The money in hand these days is all real deposits.
Seemingly noticing the surprised look on Cao Weidong's face, Wang Kongwen chuckled.
"I put some together with a few friends and here we are."
After he returned home, he told his family that he wanted to be the city agent of Shouzhengtang.
My wife is very supportive of Wang Kongwen’s entrepreneurial venture.
The two sold valuable old items at home, and then borrowed money from relatives and friends.
But after a lot of busy work, I only managed to collect a total of 500,000.
There is still half a gap between one million and one million.
Wang Kongwen didn't want to miss this opportunity.
He thought about it in his mind for a while, then went to the department and discussed starting a business with a few close colleagues.
Like Wang Kongwen, these people are also thinking about making money in the sea, but unfortunately they have never encountered a suitable opportunity.
Shouzhengtang’s health care product project makes these people’s eyes shine.
So a few people gathered together and decided to resign as a group, and then they all worked together to make up for the remaining five hundred thousand shortfall.
Cao Weidong shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Okay, anyway, I signed a contract with you. As for how to distribute it between you, you can decide it yourself."
After signing the contract and collecting the agency fee, Cao Weidong took out the map of China that he had prepared in advance and asked Wang Kongwen to choose a place.
This million seems like a lot, but in Cao Weidong's case, it is only enough to represent one city.
Wang Kongwen chose a prefecture-level city near Tianjin Wei.
This city is also located on the coast and has a dock. The economy is developing well, and the people are more receptive to new things than in inland areas.
After completing the delivery, Cao Weidong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
"By the way, are you familiar with the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
Wang Kongwen didn't know why Cao Weidong asked about this, but he still said.
"It's okay. My cousin works at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the Chinese Academy of Sciences is quite big and has many branches. Which one do you want to find?"
"Computer-related."
Cao Weidong said without hesitation.
Wang Kongwen thought for a while.
"Oh, that should be the Institute of Computing Technology. I'll ask my cousin later to see if he has any connections there."
"By the way, what do you want to do with them?"
Cao Weidong smiled.
"I think the computer industry is quite promising and I plan to invest in it, so I want to recruit some talents from the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
Wang Kongwen thought Cao Weidong was very strange.
It's really strange that instead of doing a good health care product industry, we go to invest in computers.
But this has nothing to do with you.
"Okay, I'll ask my cousin to find out. Those who are engaged in technology also want to go overseas, but they are not good at business. Following you in R&D is also a way out."
Cao Weidong said meaningfully.
"There will definitely be a way out. Follow me, and we will all have a wonderful way out."
.......
Agency and franchise matters are getting on the right track day by day.
Cao Weidong called Xu Aiguo over, and after a simple training, he put him in charge of the matter, and he finally got out.
"Chinese Academy of Sciences...Computer..."
Cao Weidong was walking on the street and bought something to eat on the street. He ate while walking and thought about it at the same time.
"According to the information I saw in the documents, that person is still abroad, doing exchange research, and will not return to China for another year."
"I want to cut off Hu in advance and hire that person..."
"But before this time, we still need to do some preparation work, at least some paving the way in the academic field."
Cao Weidong thought secretly.
Soon we arrived at the door of our house.
This is a courtyard house located on the edge of the Second Ring Road.
In order to facilitate his work, Cao Weidong rented a yard in an alley not far from Shouzhengtang and lived there temporarily.
It is said that this courtyard was the place where a certain Lord Baylor lived in the Qing Dynasty.
He pushed open the vermilion door, stepped in, and greeted an old man who was walking the birds in the yard.
"Uncle Ma, are you still walking the birds?"
"That's not the case."
Uncle Ma replied cheerfully.
He is the owner of the courtyard. I heard that he is of Manchu descent and has Aisin Gioro blood. He was a royal family member in the Qing Dynasty.
But now, he is just an old man from Forty-Nine City who carries the cage and walks the bird around every day.
Usually, Uncle Ma lives in the master bedroom facing south, and the other two rooms are rented to Cao Weidong.
After saying hello, Uncle Ma asked: "Xiao Cao, have you made your decision?"
Cao Weidong said: "We will sign the contract later, but I still have to trouble you to go to the community to be a witness."
Mr. Ma smiled and said, "No problem."
Speaking of which, Cao Weidong liked the tranquility here very much, so not long after he moved in, he began to ask Uncle Ma sideways if he had any ideas about selling the house.
Uncle Ma shrugged and said.
"I'm old, and I'm the only one in the family. I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. If you really want to buy my courtyard house, you have to wait until I die."
Cao Weidong was a little surprised at the time.
"How can you sell it to me after you die?"
Uncle Ma chuckled.
"It's simple. We can sign a contract now. You give me the money first. After I die, this house will be yours."
Cao Weidong was a little moved.
Uncle Ma is now over eighty years old, and to put it bluntly, he doesn’t have many more years to live.
Moreover, the house is here, and I don’t need it urgently. I will have to wait until the value of the house appreciates in the future before it becomes valuable.
No matter how you calculate it, he earned this business with blood.
"How much?"
The old naughty master thought for a while and gestured with his finger.
"Thirteen thousand! This is Lord Baylor's mansion in the Qing Dynasty. The horse pillars and stone lions in front of the door are all old antiques. They are almost as old as my grandfather's grandfather."
Houses are not valuable in this era, and a courtyard house only costs 5,000 to 10,000, so Uncle Ma's price is obviously a bit high.
But this courtyard house is in a good location. If it were really the residence of a certain Lord Belle, it would be normal for the premium to be higher.
Moreover, 10,000 yuan at this time can grow to 100 or 200 million in a few decades, which is a substantial increase of 10,000 times.
This is so worth it.
Cao Weidong asked a friend to investigate the condition of the house today and determined that there was no problem, so he decided to buy this courtyard house.
Of course, now that Cao Weidong has taken action, he won't just buy this set.
He has at least 7 to 8 million working capital in hand, and it would be extremely easy to buy a few courtyard houses.
