As a second-generation Chinese-American born in the United States, Qin Hao has felt a deep sense of guilt and shame since he was a child. No matter where he went, the eyes of everyone around him seemed to exclude him.
White students secretly discussed that Qin Hao was a freak because he had good grades. Black guys would pull up the corners of his eyes in front of his face just to mock Asians for their small eyes.
Qin Hao cannot say that white people are ugly like ghosts and black people are as stupid as pigs, because this is racial discrimination. He can only attribute this rejection to his own skin, identity, and race.
In short, it's all my own fault and I'm discriminating against myself.
Qin Hao's parents were determined to Westernize and live a standard life in American society as much as possible. He also tried his best to show his "American side".
He must behave more American than an American so that Qin Hao will not be expelled outside the circle of white people. But he can only wander outside the circle, and this is the limit.
It wasn't until Qin Hao became ADI's business representative in the imperial capital one day that the situation finally changed.
There are a large number of people in China who pursue Western life who actively surround him, please him, compliment him, envy him, and kneel down on his origin, status, occupation, and nationality. He also has a moment of arrogance.
Just like Qin Hao kneeling down and licking the white man.
This is an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and unparalleled happiness. Qin Hao seems to be floating in the clouds and becoming a master, enjoying all kinds of care for free. He likes this kind of life and hopes to be like this forever.
Until one day I can no longer live this life.
All because of the ‘Holy Light’.
Watanabe Xiong can become the vice president of 'Holy Light', and Karl can become the vocational education director of 'Holy Light'. But Qin Hao..., his interests determine that he cannot side with Zhou Qingfeng.
‘Holy Light’ purchased the Tu-154 and caused a sensation across the country. Anderson Qin also got a press card and walked into the ‘Holy Light’ headquarters building with reporters from all over the country.
When he entered the reception hall, he felt uncomfortable.
It's not like a shabby headquarters in a shabby city in a shabby country. It's too gorgeous, too clean, too modern.
Whether it is the gleaming marble floor or the dazzling and gorgeous crystal chandelier, or even the leather sofa and glass coffee table in the reception hall, they all exude an atmosphere that transcends the times.
Simply put, this place is too rich.
The girls at the front desk are selected from Tianyang Normal University, and are at least 1.65 meters tall. They are young, beautiful, and energetic. Their clothes are provided by the group, and they speak and behave in an elegant manner without any rusticity.
It's not like a poor place.
And damn Watanabe, this old devil actually came out and bowed, and deliberately looked spineless. This made the second devil feel even more uncomfortable.
A group of reporters took dozens of photos just to take photos of a few people at the front desk. Some even deliberately took photos of the styles of clothes worn by the girls, saying frankly that they could be published on the cover of a fashion magazine.
He Yulan was wearing a well-tailored white dress that made reporters surround her in a circle. Watanabe even stood beside her, looking like a shameful slave.
Anderson Qin hid behind a group of reporters, as if to avoid meeting Watanabe. But he felt that he was not being noticed for being such a beautiful person, so he was so angry that he turned to pat the wall of the reception hall.
There is a projector hidden on the crystal chandelier in the hall, which is connected to the computer of the group's business department and displays public supply, demand and logistics information.
The huge wall is like a train timetable, refreshed every half minute.
At present, there are no dedicated commercial supply and demand websites and convenient information communication in China compared to thirty years later. Even government procurement is conducted publicly online.
Nowadays, both supply and demand sides are like blind men in the dark, they can only send out large quantities of purchases and run business around. Coupled with the gradual changes in policies, many handbag companies have been born, and many insider transactions have also been born.
‘Holy Light’ is in the current era and faces the same problem.
Zhou Qingfeng solves this kind of trouble by relying on well-connected ‘businesses’ like Xiao Jinlang. But he doesn’t want his sales network to be stuck among certain groups of people.
‘Holy Light’ tries its best to advertise in national media and proactively establish marketing channels. At the same time, it also publicly releases supply and demand information in its own headquarters building to eliminate middlemen and reduce transaction costs as much as possible.
The several hundred square meters hall is not filled with reporters.
Thirty or forty merchants from around Tianyang were crowded in front of the projection wall. They all looked up at the information on the wall, and whenever they found something, they would immediately ask the sales department staff working in the lobby.
For example, 'Holy Light' needs canned goods, one batch per thousand tons, with specific packaging and transportation specifications, and is openly purchased from external sources.
Canneries from Tianyang and even surrounding counties and cities will send people. As long as they complete the factory inspection and goods inspection, they will be eligible to quote the sales department.
Now the factory inspection has just begun, and there are not many customers standing under the projection wall. They are basically the old suppliers of ‘Holy Light’.
Suppliers are skilled in transcribing purchase and sale information, filling out reports, or calling their friends to send out the demand for ‘Holy Light’.
"Damn, these people do business so fast." Qin Hao likes to manipulate clients when he is a business agent. He wants to sell at a high price and make others beg him.
But the requirement of doing business with ‘Holy Light’ is another kind of pursuit.
In a corner of the reception hall, people from the group's business department work openly. For qualified manufacturers, signing a purchase contract is often completed in half an hour.
Because the factory inspection and goods inspection have been carried out in advance, ordinary business staff only need to perform registration operations on the computer, and the software will determine the transaction risks. As long as the procedures are followed, internal contract approval is extremely fast.
The purchase deposit will be credited to the supplier's account within two to three days, and the transportation fleet will go to the manufacturer to pick up the goods at the right time. There will be dedicated staff monitoring the progress of each transaction.
This means fast movement of goods and money.
Qin Hao stared for a long time. He didn't see the spiritual slave who was hiding in the business department as a supervisor, nor did he find anything about taking cards. "How is it possible? This is not like the way domestic companies do things.
Shouldn't we study, consider, discuss, and delay an order for at least half a month before making a decision? Why is it so easy?"
According to Qin Hao's experience in China, it is considered fast to complete a business within three months. Some companies sell goods and cannot get the money back for several years, and they are dragged to death.
But the business people in the reception hall were quiet and efficient. They stayed in their own small squares, occasionally chatting in low voices, or taking out printed documents from the copy machine to sign and stamp them.
The merchants were also in a happy and excited mood. The payment speed of ‘Shengguang’ was one of the best in the country. It was quite a pleasure to do business with Mr. Zhou.
The display on the projection wall jumped again, and new purchase intentions appeared. They were daily necessities with basically no technical content.
"There are actually sanitary napkins for women?" Qin Hao looked surprised, "This shabby company is still doing this business?"
‘Holy Light’ is really in this business. It will purchase daily necessities. Because the light industry in Maoxiong is terrible, even sanitary napkins are imported.
In fact, there are not many companies in China that can produce new sanitary napkins. Due to habits and prices, the current social demand for sanitary products is also limited.
Feminine hygiene products are completely necessary in the future.
Lao Maozi sent out a purchase request, which was quickly reflected on the projection wall of the 'Holy Light' headquarters.
There was no sanitary product manufacturer under the wall, but each supplier took a look at the demand quantity and contract amount, and immediately took out his mobile phone to contact the outside world.
This is a brand new product and a brand new industry. Some merchants are spreading the news and discussing it privately.
What technology and raw materials are needed for sanitary products? What domestic manufacturers are there currently and what is their output?
What is the demand for ‘Holy Light’? Can we build a production line by ourselves, open a new factory, and create new profit points?
Qin Hao was secretly shocked when he heard this.
The discussions under the projection wall were not loud, but the communication was quite fast. Merchants were complaining that the canned business was getting harder and harder to do, and more and more manufacturers came to bid. Even the clothing business had a large number of competitors.
Now a new product has appeared, which has made many manufacturers want to try it. But after a round of phone calls, everyone came to the conclusion that currently all raw materials for domestic sanitary napkins must be imported.
Don't do this business without foreign exchange.
Qin Hao stared blankly for a long time, not even paying attention to the press team entering the headquarters building. It was not until the mood of the merchants became depressed that he became happier.
But the merchants who gathered around did not give up. They asked the "Holy Light" business department whether they could smuggle raw materials and production equipment from abroad?
Everyone knows that Mr. Zhou is very capable and is in the smuggling business.
The deputy director of the business department could not give a reply, but he was able to directly call the president in Imperial City. The president replied not long after.
Can provide a full set of production technology for sanitary products and raw materials,
We can help contact domestic scientific research institutions for technical research.
Can communicate with existing sanitary product manufacturers for import substitution,
You can sign a certain amount of underwriting contracts as long as someone is willing to invest in this industry.
Mr. Zhou's reply made many merchants under the projection wall excited. Non-woven fabrics, wood pulp, polymer absorbent materials, puffed paper, PE film, hot melt adhesive, detailed information came out of the fax machine.
Many people are considering the feasibility of investment. They cannot do all of it, but they can still do some of it.
Qin Hao's happiness didn't last long, he felt his scalp numb again, and inexplicably felt that the merchant in front of him was not joking, but serious.
These bumpkins have extremely terrifying execution capabilities. As long as there is demand, capital and technology, they have the ability to destroy an industry.
