After seeing off Long Wu and his party, the Gu family brothers and sisters took a taxi home.
Along the way, Gu Pan asked expectantly: "Brother, what do you want to eat and play next week? Just say it, you are a wounded person now, I will take good care of you."
It was a very insidious question. She didn't ask whether Gu Kun needed her care, and jumped directly to the next stage. It was very confusing.
It's a pity, how could such a little trick be hidden from Gu Kun.
He slapped his sister to death, and then put it bluntly: "Take care of me? Do you want to stay in Guangdong for a week? That's a good idea, you can stay for two days at most, and then I will personally take you to the plane - don't
Thought I forgot that school has started."
It was the third day of the Lunar New Year when Gu Kun set sail. Now ten days have passed and the high school where his sister studied has ended its winter vacation.
According to the original plan, if Gu Pan returned to work as a sailor on a ship, he would have to take at least ten days off from school.
But now that the situation has changed and she can fly, Gu Kun will certainly not allow her sister to skip school for so long.
After playing for two more days, the brother and sister spent the Lantern Festival together, and they had already done their best to be kind and righteous.
"I still got caught!" Gu Pan's expression immediately fell.
She was very depressed, why every time she wanted to cheat on Chen Cang secretly, her brother would show her off.
Don't play like this.
Gu Pan pouted, and the more he thought about it, the more he bargained angrily: "Well, since you are resting wherever you are, how about you fly back with me the day after tomorrow? I can take care of you when we get to Lanfang."
"That won't work. I have business to attend to and will stay five days longer than you." Gu Kun refused directly.
Gu Pan immediately became furious: "I think you just want to play secretly by yourself without taking me with you! Tell me, have you learned any exciting bad things?"
Gu Kun lectured majestically: "I really have a lot of business to do - do you think that after discussing with Long Wu the way to make money from the cross-ship operation of the two ships, the profit will be stable? The absolute profit of diesel is not high, and the capital utilization rate is also low.
No, there are so many problems there, we don’t have time to rest on our laurels.”
"What does insufficient capital utilization mean?" Gu Pan didn't understand, so he simply asked for more details.
Gu Kun: "If you think about it this way, the unit price of diesel is low, and the value of one shipment is only 200,000 yuan. I already have 600,000 yuan in cash. If I only resell diesel, 400,000 yuan will be idle there.
This year's opportunity of "China's export prices are generally valuable and can be exploited due to the plummeting exchange rate" will only come once in many years. If we don't try to increase the turnover rate and become a big banker, then it is not very promising?
Therefore, I need to find some expensive goods that can be worth millions per shipment. The current prices in China are extremely low and there is room for arbitrage. I also need to ensure that they can be sold in Lanzhou. I need to look for business opportunities here and negotiate.
How much energy does it take to cooperate?”
As for diesel, it's just a back-up business where you don't have to worry about supply or sales.
In other words, when you can't think of any more profitable cargo to haul, haul some diesel and fill up the empty wasted tonnage in the cabin.
"It turns out that overseas business is so difficult. It also depends on the international exchange rate and the rise and fall of prices. Oh, then you have to worry about it yourself." Gu Pan's expression fell. He really couldn't think of how to refute his brother, so he obediently accepted and went back to study early.
this setting.
The brother and sister returned to their residence and spent two days resting and having fun, visiting interesting places in Guangdong.
In fact, there is nothing interesting in this place in Guangdong. It has been a commercial city since ancient times and there are no damn places of interest.
So in reality, it was just Gu Pan spending a lot of money on taxis and shopping, Gu Kun sleeping at home, and that was it.
Fortunately, Gu Pan still has a conscience, at least most of the things she buys are for her brother. After all, she just wants to enjoy the process of shopping and shopping.
Gu Kun gave her a budget of 30,000 yuan, and she used it to help Gu Kun buy a Nokia 1011 mobile phone, apply for a network access license, and also buy some expensive cigars, Zippo kerosene lighters, and Crocodile men's business suits.
Suitcase, I wish I could turn my brother into a township entrepreneur who is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
One of the most expensive expenses was the mobile phone. The machine cost 18,000 yuan, plus the network access license and other fees, the total was just over 20,000 yuan.
This Nokia 1011 is the world's first GSM network mobile phone, that is, "2G". Globally, Nokia 1011 began to be distributed at the end of 1992, but it entered China in March 1994, and
In the first nine months, it was only available in eastern Guangdong Province. As for selling 2G mobile phones and laying out 2G networks nationwide, that was all in 1995.
Therefore, the Nokia 1011 that Gu Pan bought for his brother can be regarded as the first in the world. Not to mention it is the first Nokia 2G mobile phone in China, at least it was the first one to support it within the first week after it was launched.
What surprised Gu Kun was that in 1994, mobile phones did not require prepaid phone bills, but were billed and paid every month just like landlines.
Maybe Huaxia Telecom also feels that those who can afford Cell Phones are decent people from the upper class and will not do the embarrassing thing of not paying their phone bills.
After venting his desire to buy, Gu Pan was kicked by his brother on the plane and sent back to Kuching with eyes filled with resentment and nostalgia.
That night, Gu Kun's cell phone received an international long distance call.
It turned out that my sister had already returned to Lanfang, found a public phone in the city that could make international long distance calls, informed him that he was safe, and said she would go back to school early tomorrow morning.
Gu Kun's worries finally subsided, and he slept peacefully without saying a word.
…
The day after Gu Pan returned to China, Gu Kun felt that his wounds had completely healed after another two or three days of bed rest, so he decided to do something serious.
"Let's invite Xu Feng back today. Now that we have a mobile phone, we should distribute the number to everyone. By the way, we can see if we can help us explore some business opportunities and make some new friends."
Gu Kun was thinking about this, so he went out and found a nearby printing shop, spent dozens of dollars to order two boxes of business cards, and then called Xu Feng.
Before I had a mobile phone number, there was no need to make a business card, and it was too embarrassing to make one.
Xu Feng was a little surprised when he received the call. He seemed to have never expected that Gu Kun would buy a mobile phone in Guangdong.
Of course he knew that with the money Gu Kun earned, he could definitely afford a mobile phone. But Gu Kun didn't seem like the kind of person who would live in Guangdong all the time and buy it just for the chance of using it for only a few days a month.
, it’s still very luxurious.
"Brother Gu, you can do it. You can spend tens of thousands of dollars wherever you go. I've written down the number. Are you healed? Why don't you choose the day instead of hitting it and let me do my duty as a landlord?
." Xu Feng teased on the phone in a half-joking "you know" tone.
Gu Kun said casually: "The injury is healed, and women are not allowed to touch you for the time being. Since Brother Xu is free, why not have a cup of tea, I'll treat you today. I have something to do by the way, and I would like to ask Brother Xu for some advice."
