Chapter 1131 1129 [Set up a game and peel off your skin!]
London Chinatown.
Inside the hotpot restaurant.
Yan Xiong and Axejun occupied the same seat and ate hot dishes while minding their own business.
Shi Zhijian, dressed in white, sat alone at another dining table.
There is a small hot pot on the dining table, which is smoking.
The small hot pot here is a pure mandarin duck pot. At the moment, it is hot and steaming, while the mushrooms are boiling and sizzling.
Shi Zhijian picked up the serving chopsticks and carefully put the thinly sliced beef into the soup pot. He saw the beef slices rolling up and down with the soup!
There were footsteps behind me.
Shi Zhijian didn't even look back and said to the man: "Sit down, the beef will just be cooked!"
The man walked to the opposite side of Shi Zhijian, bowed slightly to Shi Zhijian, and then sat down.
Shi Zhijian smiled: "This is England, and you are engaged in scientific research. Why are you doing so many courtesy?"
Yang Wenli, who was sitting opposite, smiled: "You are from Chaozhou, and I am also from Chaozhou. You are my boss, and I work for you, so I should bow to you!"
"Okay, just be willing!" Shi Zhijian took out the cooked beef with serving chopsticks, put it into Yang Weili's bowl, and said, "You can make up your own condiments and stuff. I don't know who you are. taste!"
"Chaozhou people still eat lighter food!" Yang Weili added some sesame sauce and some chopped cauliflower.
"According to your instructions, I have sold my technology to Lawrence and his son." Yang Wenli took a mouthful of steaming beef, raised his head and said to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian nodded, "Isn't it uncomfortable to be a rebel?"
"Yeah, the main reason is that I can't get through it!" Yang Wenli said with a bitter smile, "You don't know that the ghost man and his son looked at me with such contempt at that time!"
"To find money, sometimes you have to do anything!"
"I hope you won't choose me next time! John Hong can do it too, he looks a lot like a 25-year-old boy!"
John Hong is from the Chaozhou Gang, and he is also the young gang leader of the Chaozhou Gang, so he wants to lose face!"
"Ahem!" Yang Wenli almost choked to death from the beef in his mouth. He looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "You mean I can be shameless?"
"No! You're overthinking!" Shi Zhijian put another piece of beef on Yang Wenli's plate, "It's mainly about temperament! You are smart, but John Hong is stubborn!"
"You might as well say I look like a traitor!"
"I didn't say that."
"The look in your eyes has said it."
"Really?" Shi Zhijian put down his chopsticks and blinked, "As your boss, you should be more reserved and don't speak so clearly!"
"Then give me a salary increase!"
"Five thousand pounds a month is not enough?"
"Six thousand, six or six, a lucky number!"
"Hey, having an employee like you is the biggest failure of my life!"
Yang Wenli looked at Shi Zhijian and sighed, and with Shi Zhijian's childish face, no one could tell that the young man in white in front of him was actually the super CEO in charge of Shinhwa Group!
But Yang Wenli knows the ruthlessness and viciousness behind this childish face!
Just say that this time Shi Zhijian took the initiative to ask him to secretly sell R&D technology to Lawrence and his son, which made Yang Wenli think hard and couldn't figure out why Shi Zhijian would do this?!
After finishing the hot pot meal, Yang Wenli left first. Of course, Shi Zhijian had to pay for tonight's meal.
After Yang Wenli left, Shi Zhijian picked up the teacup and turned it in his hand, then glanced at Yan Xiong.
Yan Xiong understood immediately.
"Mr. Shi, what are your orders?" Yan Xiong walked up to Shi Zhijian and asked respectfully.
Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea: "Let's get started. Use money from the Shinhwa Investment Fund to purchase bicycle raw materials throughout the UK, as well as raw materials for manufacturing lithium batteries!"
Yan Xiong smiled: "I understand!"
After saying that, Yan Xiong waved to Ax Jun and said: "Stop eating! Work first!"
Seeing Yan Xiong and the others leaving, Shi Zhijian held the tea cup and said to himself: "Set up a trap and skin you three times!"
…
As the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence was still very resolute in doing things. Relying on his strong connections, he quickly mobilized all resources and began to renovate the large factories under his control, preparing to frantically produce electric bicycles with stolen technology!
But after the production line was refitted, Lawrence got some surprising news: the raw materials for producing electric bicycles had increased in price!
The prices of steel for vehicle frames, rubber for wheels, and lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganate and graphite for lithium batteries have also skyrocketed!
The goods that originally only required 30 million pounds now require 40 million pounds!
how so?
Lawrence was a little confused. The cost had increased by one-third before he even started work. So should he continue working?
At this time, his son Andre was still immersed in the great achievements of father and son in the future, and immediately encouraged his father to do it boldly. The price increase of these materials was only temporary!
After being encouraged by his son, Lawrence gritted his teeth again and prepared to spend 40 million pounds to buy a large number of raw materials in one go!
But just when he was in a daze thinking whether to buy these raw materials, the prices of those raw materials skyrocketed again!
The goods that originally cost 40 million yuan now require 50 million yuan!
Lawrence didn't dare to think about it any more, fearing that the price would increase due to long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly spent 50 million to buy those raw materials!
With raw materials, production is simple!
For a time, the machines in Liverpool, Birmingham and other major British industrial bases roared!
All eighteen factories under the Lawrence family have started to take action. According to Lawrence's calculations, tens of thousands of electric bicycles can be produced in at least one month.
Of course, this is still the initial stage. When those factories become familiar with the operating procedures and improve the production lines, the number of electric bicycles produced will be even greater!
To be cautious, Lawrence first tentatively contacted bicycle dealers from various places and asked them if they were optimistic about the future sales of this new type of electric bicycle.
Many dealers expressed their opinions that this new type of electric bicycle is an epoch-making product, but it is too expensive and will put pressure on sales in the future.
These feedbacks made Lawrence's fiery heart cool down a lot. Looking at the tens of thousands of electric bicycles that were about to be produced, he wondered whether to reduce production.
At this time, a ghost guy named "Saipan" came over and told Lawrence that he was an investor. He happened to see that this new type of electric bicycle produced by the Lawrence factory was very novel. He felt that it would lead the world's trend in the future.
A new product, so I want to order 100,000 units!
One hundred thousand units?
This amount frightened Lawrence to the point of staggering!
He never expected that pie would fall from the sky!
I was worrying about whether these things could be sold in the future, and someone actually came to me and asked to order!
However, the production cost of 100,000 units is really too high. Based on current cost calculations, it would cost at least 500 million!
Lawrence was a bit daunting with such a huge amount of money!
But the profits he would earn from the 100,000 units in the future made him salivate!
Even if one unit earns 1,000 pounds, 100,000 units will earn 100 million pounds!
As the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence has a lot of experience in doing business. He immediately found his own legal team and signed a contract with the investor named Saipan. If he wanted to order 100,000 units, well, get enough first.
The deposit is out!
For 100,000 units, the deposit is at least 100 million!
Lawrence originally thought that if the lion opened its mouth, it would scare him back.
I didn’t expect that Saipan was a ruthless person. One hundred million is one hundred million!
100 million deposit, delivery within three months!
Penalty for breach of contract is ten times!
Looking at the signing documents in his hand, and the deposit of 100 million already deposited into the account, Lawrence didn't know what to do!
This business was actually concluded?!
Lawrence was in a complicated mood, not sure whether he was happy or sad!
With a deposit of 100 million in hand, Lawrence was thinking of squeezing out another 400 million from his family as a cost to purchase raw materials!
But when he was about to take action, he discovered that the raw materials had actually increased again! The raw materials that originally cost 500 million yuan suddenly increased to 600 million yuan!
Lawrence is at a loss!
What's going on?
Why do these raw materials keep rising?
The reason given by the supplier is that there have been frequent storms recently, and many transport ships carrying rubber and graphite have sunk!
In addition, the export volume of British local steel products has increased, internal supply is insufficient, etc.!
According to the earliest cost price, it was only 300 million, but now it is 600 million! It has doubled!
Based on the funds he has on hand, he can squeeze out at most 400 million, which is still 200 million short!
what to do?
Lawrence's first thought was to borrow money!
But as the president of the London Chamber of Commerce, he would really lose face if he borrowed money from his subordinates. Moreover, borrowing money would mean showing off his capital chain problems. Those ambitious guys in the Chamber of Commerce might take the opportunity to bite Lawrence's companies and rob him.
The position of president of the Chamber of Commerce! The best way now is to get a mortgage loan from the bank!
However, the loan of 200 million pounds was too much. In a hurry, all the big banks declined Lawrence's request on the excuse that the review would take time.
When Lawrence was in a panic, Saipan, the man who ordered his electric bicycle, actually came to him. After asking him about the problems he was facing, he said that in order to ensure Lawrence's delivery on time, he would introduce a friend to Lawrence.
Lawrence met the man, his name was Shen Bi, and he turned out to be the senior manager of HSBC Bank.
HSBC is the largest bank in the UK and has abundant funds. With Shen Bi's help, we will definitely be able to obtain a loan.
Sure enough, after Shen Bi inquired about Lawrence's current predicament, she analyzed the financial situation of the Lawrence family, and finally said hello to HSBC Bank in the UK. After mortgaging most of the Lawrence family's assets, Shen Bi finally provided a loan!
This is a perfect path! It also makes Lawrence burst into tears of gratitude to Saipan and Shen Bi!
Funds are in place, raw materials are purchased in sufficient quantities, and 100,000 electric bicycles are quickly produced within three months. Everything looks so good!
In this regard, Lawrence was very proud at the moment, standing on the window sill, drinking red wine, and said to his son Andre: "At the end of three months, our father and son will become celebrities! We will have both fame and fortune!"
"Yes, Father! But there is still one person I want to thank?"
"who?"
"It's that fool Shi Zhijian! Without him, we, father and son, would not have achieved such great success!"
"Hahaha! Well said! He is indeed a big fool! Chinese people are very stupid, very stupid!" Lawrence said with a sneer, "But we still have to thank him for giving us the gift! Come, let us toast him.
, bless him!”
The father and son raised their glasses together: "Bless him - how do you say this in Hong Kong dialect? He's on the street! Hahaha!"
…
at the same time--
The singing competition held by London TV Station also officially started. Young people who like singing and dancing actively participated in it and showed their style on TV!
Among them, the three largest entertainment companies in the UK, "Innocence Company", "Glory Company", and "New Era Company" have launched their own packaged signed artists, preparing to win the first place in this singing competition.
In contrast, the newly established Shinhwa Entertainment is also preparing to launch newly signed female singer Michelle.
In response to this, the three major entertainment companies all ridiculed Shinhwa Corporation for overestimating their capabilities! They ridiculed CEO Jester for not knowing how to operate entertainment, but a British libertine would do these things, and he would die without knowing how!
Amid the jeers, Shinhwa newcomer Michelle, with the help of music director Sethis and others, went all out to appear on the stage!
Unexpected!
In the first competition, Michelle directly entered the top ten with her song "Yesterday Again"!
The audience in front of the TV was moved by her beautiful singing and praised her as the "Cambridge Oriole"!
Coupled with Michelle's irresistible appearance and her status as a Cambridge college student, it has directly become the most discussed topic in the entire British entertainment industry.
During this period, London TV station also conducted an interview specifically for her. Through the interview, Michelle showed the audience her love for music and shared many interesting stories about her childhood.
Then the second game started.
At this time, the contestants known as the "Top Ten" are gearing up one by one, all ready with their trump cards, hoping to break out of the siege and enter the top three in this second game!
In particular, the newcomers from the three major entertainment companies in the UK have vowed to conquer the top three this time and make Shinhwa lose their shit!
But what surprised them was that Michelle once again performed a miracle on the stage! She showed off her "big lungs" singing skills for the first time in the competition! She sang "My Heart Is Still" and made all the British scalp numb.
My head explodes!
There is almost no suspense!
Michelle directly entered the top three!
And it also ranks first among the top three!
The "Innocence Company", "Glory Company", and "New Era Company" that originally vowed to dominate the top three were defeated by Shinhwa! In particular, New Era Company was squeezed out of the top three and was completely taken over by Shinhwa.
"Sacrifice flag"!
At this moment, Michelle's popularity has spread beyond this small place in the UK. Relying on Shinhwa Entertainment's cool operations, through TV interviews, flying to perform in various countries, etc., she has broken out of Europe and headed towards the United States!
You know, Michelle is still just a contestant at the moment, but her influence is already comparable to that of the all-powerful "Beatles" thanks to her two songs.
Towards the end of the month, Michelle participated in the last event of this singing competition, which was the finals!
Two big-name companies, "Innocence Company" and "Glory Company", are bound to win the championship!
