After hearing what Deng Wenru said, Lin Zhensong smiled bitterly and said: "Old Deng, don't put your hope in those foreigners. They are simply unreliable. They are just bosses who recognize money but not people.
I also tried this method before giving up the import business, but unfortunately those guys were either waiting and watching, or they turned directly to those people, with no intention of helping at all."
Deng Wenru listened and fell silent, but he was still unwilling to accept it, so he continued to speak: "Old Lin, didn't you say that they are planning to take over the entire import market? Then I will unite with all the people in the import business to fight against them.
It’s not enough if you don’t believe it.”
Lin Zhensong felt a headache after hearing this. Deng Wenru's persistence was beyond Lin Zhensong's expectation, so he had to continue to persuade: "Old Deng, I suggest you don't pay attention to this yet.
Although there are many of us doing import business and our strength is not weak, everyone has their own situation, and not everyone will be enemies with those people for this business.
Furthermore, those people have not yet shown any intention of unifying the import market. This is just our guess, and some people must be lucky.
Their method of defeating them one by one is quite clever, which makes it very difficult for us to unite and resist them as a unit.
And there is another thing that you may not have considered. Our import business basically involves negotiating with foreigners in Shanghai, then delivering the goods in Shanghai, and then shipping it to various parts of the country for sale.
There is a problem here, that is, once these foreigners are taken care of by those people, even if we band together, we will have no impact on them. Even if we want to continue our business, we have to get goods from these people.
In fact, there is also a problem here, that is, handing over the import business will not have a big impact on some people's sales business, but the profits will be less, which will also make many people give up the resistance."
After hearing this, Deng Wenru frowned even deeper, and after a while, he said: "Old Lin, what you mean is that these people do not sell imported goods directly to the whole country, but just intervene in the middle.
Do you sell it nationwide or let others do it?”
“It can’t be said that we don’t do it, it’s just that we do very little and often just intervene in the middle to make a profit.
After I handed over the import business, these people hinted to me that they would continue to sell the goods to me, but I did not accept it."
After hearing what Lin Zhensong said, Deng Wenru smiled bitterly and said: "Old Lin, after hearing what you said, I feel that I am really in trouble. What I do is similar to what they do, and I just switch hands in the middle. There is no sales channel at all.
If my business is robbed, I will be kicked out, and no matter it is the company above or below, they can bypass me and directly trade with these people."
Lin Zhensong listened, nodded, and said: "I am also worried about this, so I advise you to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise they will attack you, and you really don't have much strength to resist."
After hearing this, Deng Wenru smiled bitterly and said: "I know this, but what else can I do? For so many years, I have devoted all my energy to this business, and now I suddenly let it go. This..."
"What's the big deal? I used to focus on the import business, but now I'm changing my career path? What's the big deal?"
After listening to this, Deng Wenru pondered for a while and asked: "Old Lin, do you have any good business recommendations here? Or just let me buy some stocks."
"It's okay to invest in shares, but I still suggest you do something on your own. I happen to have a business here that should be suitable for you."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru became interested and asked quickly: "What business? Lao Lin, tell me quickly."
"It's still related to fur, but it's not reselling, but directly producing finished fur products, such as fur coats, clothes linings and so on.
I am planning a garment factory here, specializing in the production of garments for sale. We should be able to cooperate by then, and if you do it well, I can also help you with the Australian leather-free business and let them sell this kind of leather.
I’ll also leave it to you to process.”
After Deng Wenru heard this, he began to make careful calculations to see if this business could be done.
Lu Jinde, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help but said to Lin Zhensong: "Old Lin, let me remind you! This garment business is not that easy to do. Many people still like to make it themselves or go to a tailor shop to order it.
.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Lu, I know these things as well as you do. I have studied here. The ready-made garment business is not easy to do. The main reason is that the clothes often don't fit.
This time, I directly mobilized all the staff of the firm and their relatives and friends, and also found a bunch of people from various places to measure their sizes.
Now that the measurements are almost over, when they are all gathered together, we will recruit people to measure and determine the sizes, and prepare to get the sizes ourselves.
Once I have my own size, I can naturally produce tailor-made garments here, and with the sales channels of Lin's Trading Company, selling the garments will not be a problem at all."
After listening to this, Lu Jingde gave Lin Zhensong a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Old Lin, you are so generous! The first time you make a move, you put me to shame..."
"Okay, okay, stop flattering me. I don't know you yet? You're usually so shy that you can't even say a nice word. If you have something to say, just say it and don't make any detours."
Seeing that his little thoughts were revealed, Lu Jingde felt a little embarrassed on his face, but he still said shamelessly: "Old Lin, you see that you have taken care of Lao Deng's business, how about taking care of mine too? Let me buy a stock?"
After hearing this, Lin Zhensong said angrily: "Don't even think about buying shares. If you, a stingy old man like you, buy shares, who knows what trouble you will make?
But I do have some orders that I can give you. I remember that you have several machinery factories in Shanghai. I heard that they can also produce engines?"
Lu Jingde heard this, nodded, and replied with a smile: "It is true that we can produce engines, but they are only used in cars. Lao Lin, you are not planning to produce cars, are you?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is indeed a production vehicle, but I produce motorcycles and bicycles. Now I am preparing a factory to prepare for production.
But I can’t import some things here, and I don’t want to be cheap to those people, so I want to ask you, can you produce engines, bearings, pulleys and chains here? What about the quality?”
After listening to this, Lu Jingde thought for a while and said, "I can produce motorcycle engines here, and the quality is pretty good, so you can use them with confidence.
I have also produced bearings and chains. Although it has been stopped now, I can restart production after debugging the machine, and the quality of the products produced before was also very good.
It’s just that the pulley is a bit troublesome. It has been produced before, but it can’t be used at all. It doesn’t rotate smoothly and gets stuck at every turn. I have to import new machines from abroad to produce something that can be used.”
After hearing this, Lin Zhensong nodded. Although Lu Jingde is usually very stingy, there is one good thing about him. He doesn't tell lies very much and is very down-to-earth. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so close to Lin Zhensong.
.
"Lao Lu, I'll leave you with this matter. I'll go down and have someone connect with you to discuss the follow-up details."
After hearing this, Lu Jingde smiled and said: "It's no trouble, I have to thank you! Without your order, my machinery factory is going to close down, and the things we produced before will have no market at all."
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong didn't say much. He offered tea instead of wine and toasted Lu Jingde. After they drank it all, they both looked at Deng Wenru, who was still deep in thought.
Seeing this, Deng Wenru raised his head, looked at Lin Zhensong, and said: "Old Lin, do you think this will work? I will buy a share in your garment factory and start preparing for a leather products processing plant. Of course, if
If you two want to buy shares, you can also buy shares in my leather products processing factory."
Hearing this, Lin Zhensong did not hesitate, smiled and nodded, and said: "No problem, leather products factory, then I will buy shares. If necessary, I have some apprentices here who can sew leather goods."
you."
"It's not necessary to be an apprentice. I have a lot of people who process leather goods here. I used to ask them to help me check the quality of the leather, but now I can let them return to their old profession.
Lao Lin, if you want to help, just help me get some processing equipment and raw materials! I don’t have any channels in these areas."
After listening, Lin Zhensong nodded and asked: "Old Deng, when are you going to start?"
After hearing this, Deng Wenru thought for a while and said directly: "Let's start now! Since I guessed that those people would attack me, I simply stopped the leather trade to avoid embarrassing my face."
"That's fine. You just take advantage of this period to sell off your inventory and use the funds to hoard more silver bricks. Looking at the scene on the ship today, it's hard to say that the price of silver will rise. Then you can make a profit.
Pen."
Hearing this, Deng Wenru was a little puzzled and asked: "Old Lin, do you think the price of silver will really rise? Can we alone raise the price of silver?"
Lin Zhensong heard this and said with a smile: "That's just a guess. It should rise a little, but it shouldn't rise too much. After all, most of the assets in the hands of people like us are originally oceans, and foreign currencies don't account for much.
.
However, the preparation of this factory takes a lot of time. Anyway, the funds are idle during this period, so it is better to stock up a batch! As Lao Lu said, silver bricks are indeed much more convenient than Dayang."
"Old Lin, do you still plan to continue hoarding? I don't believe it. You only have so little spare funds."
After hearing this, Lin Zhensong thought for a moment and replied: "I haven't decided to pay attention yet. I have to go and study it again. I will let you know whether I want to stock up or not."
After listening to this, Deng Wenru thought for a while and replied: "Old Lin, I'll follow you, let me know if you want to stock up, and then we can stock up together."
Lu Jingde, who was on the side, heard the words and quickly said: "I'm following too. The three of us have finally got on the same page. I don't want to lag behind in this matter."
