"You mean the Mercedes downstairs? It's rented in Pengcheng."

Li Zehua had a smile on his face and while speaking he did not forget to bring the dishes from the kitchen to the table.

My cousin Zhao Yujie said "oh" and I don't know what she was thinking.

Zhao Xuewen quickly took out two bottles of good wine from the top of the cabinet next to the bed. There was not much space at home, so every inch had to be used reasonably.

Even so, with so many people standing, it still felt crowded and it was difficult to turn around.

Hearing this, he took over the conversation and said, "When you go out to do business, having a luxury car can save you a lot of trouble. Now that you have started your career, you should spend your money wisely.

In today's social environment, only having a good car can give you face, otherwise who would know your ability?
The bosses who work outside are all shrewd people, and they all know how to judge people by their abilities. "

We asked him to sit down and eat, but there wasn't enough space. The children were being taken care of by their cousin's wife, so we could only have a folding table for them.

I haven't seen you for two years and I miss you so much.

It was very lively from the start. After a few rounds of drinks, everyone kept talking. They talked about their recent situation and lamented that the overall environment this year was not satisfactory.

His second aunt felt sorry for him because he hadn't been home for two years in order to make money, so she picked out some family matters to tell him and told him to go back this year.

Li Zehua nodded in agreement.

When asked about his recent situation, he would only say the good things and keep all the grievances he had suffered in his heart.

Men, they shed blood but not tears. No matter how badly they are doing, they will never reveal a word.

As he spoke, his emotions became clear and his true nature was revealed unconsciously.

Since my rebirth, I drink alcohol like I drink water, unconsciously drinking a glass at a time, just like drinking water.

Seeing him drinking heavily, Zhao Xuewen couldn't help but praise him, "You have trained yourself now. It seems that your alcohol tolerance is better than mine."

I turned my head and asked my aunt, "Mom, look, he has already drunk four or five cups, but his face hasn't changed, and he speaks more confidently than before.

Especially since he has changed so much, I wouldn’t have recognized him if I had seen him again.”

"It's true that I've changed a lot. I feel much more energetic. It's not like before when I was in the factory, I felt like I hadn't woken up every day."

My aunt looked at me carefully for a few times and advised me, "Don't underestimate yourself because you are young. You should learn to take care of your body. This is at home, not out to meet clients.

Look at Zhao Xuewen, if you hadn’t come today, I would definitely not let him drink.

Drinking will harm your body, so don't follow your father's example.

But I couldn't blame him at that time, there were so many mouths to feed at home.

He was disabled and had a lot of pressure in life. He died young from uremia and liver cancer. ”

My uncle frowned and interrupted, "What day is it today? Why are you talking about this? Eat more food and talk less."

He raised his glass and clinked it with his nephew, "Eat more food. Your aunt spent a whole day at the market picking food, knowing you were coming.

But your alcohol tolerance is really good."

Li Zehua chuckled: "I was so happy to see my relatives that I could only drink a little."

Zhao Xuewen habitually gave him a cigarette and said, "Don't be modest. How can you not try your best while you are young?

Look at your brother, he is usually very quiet in the factory. Taking him out for social activities can help him make connections and learn and improve.

He, on the other hand, didn't say a few words to the big boss. He raised his glass and drank it in one gulp and two gulps.

I don't practice even when I have the chance at the factory. I just stay in the dormitory after get off work every day and no one knows what I do.

Don’t say I don’t take care of you, there must be a chance!

During the personnel adjustment meeting, I suggested several times to nominate him as team leader, but the boss and other managers had no impression of him!

How can he be promoted if no one knows him?

If I rely on myself, I can hardly take care of myself. Now I am in the factory, and I have to manage the production progress and go out to look for orders.

The overall business environment is not good. We cannot get export orders and we cannot sell our domestic products.

If this continues, I don't think I will be able to keep this job for long. I can only see where to find another solution.

This society is very realistic, especially for us, who come from poor families and have no education. If we want to climb up, we have to work hard to show ourselves. "

He had said these words many times before, and he said them again today when he came over.

The eldest brother Li Zeren smiled and did not respond. He is just that kind of person. He is introverted and does not like to communicate with others. He always likes to live in this world.

Everyone has advised him to change, but he just won't change. He blushes whenever he talks to girls. It really makes me worry about his future.

Li Zehua was just about to say a few words when he saw Zhao Xuewen raise his glass. He was thoroughly experienced and was able to control the situation expertly at the table.

With just a few festive words, he took care of everyone's face, and even Zhang Tao followed with a drink in his hand.

"He'll be driving later."

Li Zehua stopped his cousin who was trying to persuade him to drink, and then he heard his uncle who was picking up food nearby asked in surprise: "Your colleague is from the army, right?
Just from the sitting posture and expression, it seems as if he is ready to be on guard against sudden attacks at any time.

It seems that he just got out of prison not long ago, and many habits have not changed. "

"My second uncle participated in the counterattack against Annan. Otherwise, I would say that you have a sharp eye. It's true."

Li Zehua introduced: "This is my colleague Zhang Tao. He has been an armored reconnaissance soldier in a certain unit for eight years. Now he is working with me on business."

"Hello, old monitor!"

Zhang Tao stood up, with a serious face and straightened his collar. He saluted and took a seat only after being allowed to do so.

Um, another toast with a drink.

Even if Li Zehua persuaded him, he refused to drink.

I was pushed to the limit and protested quietly: "Don't drink and drive. I want to protect your safety."

Fortunately, the sound was as small as a mosquito and only he heard it.

"Let's drink one together."

Zhao Xuewen raised his glass again: "How was your talk with the client during your visit to Dongguan? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"It's OK, the deal is basically done."

After thinking about it, Li Zehua stopped hiding it and said, "Do you still remember the factory you introduced to me the second time? We went there today and successfully reached a cooperation agreement with them."

"The second one? You mean Chaoxu Electronics?
What business do you have with them?"

Zhao Xuewen has a good memory. He put his arm around Li Zehua's shoulders and lowered his voice: "It's the lady boss, hehehe."

Soon he realized something was wrong. Seeing that his family was staring at him, he coughed as if nothing had happened and tried to change the subject:

"That's not right. Aren't you making two-wheeled electric vehicles? Why are you negotiating cooperation with Zhaoxu Electronics?"

"Making electric cars is a part-time job. I also work in other industries. A partner happened to have a last-minute order, so I made it myself and made some money from the difference."

Li Zehua briefly explained the situation. He was still thinking about how to say it in a way that would not seem too abrupt.

Zhao Xuewen's eyes lit up: "Our factory can also do this kind of thing."

In terms of business acumen, he is definitely a professional. "Zhaoxu Electronics is not a good company at all, it is almost failing now.

The quality of the products we produce is seriously failing. From what I know, our former partners have returned our products more than a dozen times in the past six months.

The industrial upgrade they were carrying out was just to deceive those who didn't know the business, and it never worked at all. It was true that they were cheating shareholders out of their money, but it was unreliable anyway.

But now you are really rich, and you can get orders from big companies like TCL and Midea to find OEM, which is like picking up money. "

Then he asked for more details, digging for the information he could use, "We can't do anything about electronic products, but as for hardware manufacturing, even though our factory is not big.

The production equipment is all imported, and there are no problems with the craftsmanship, quality, and raw materials. There will definitely be no slack.

Do you still have this kind of order?
As a brother, I will never cheat you. I will act as a middleman to find OEM products, which is 1-2 points within the industry rules.

If you still have any, give me the order and I'll talk to the boss.

If there is an order of 2.5 million, I guarantee that the factory will give you points more, and the product quality and delivery time will not delay your business. "

Li Zehua smiled but said nothing. He hadn't decided whether to reveal all or just part of it.

Zhao Xuewen thought he was dissatisfied, so he tried to persuade him a few more times. Even his eldest brother couldn't help but speak.

Li Zehua thought about it and decided to lay an ambush: "For this kind of OEM order in the industry, the profit is only 3-5 points.

You also need to provide labor and equipment. If you give me 2.5, there will be some money left. Will the factory owner be willing to do that?"

"It's good to have an order."

Zhao Xuewen waved his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, ask your elder brother, how many overtime hours has he worked this month?

They said they were overhauling the machines in the factory, but in reality there were too few orders and they couldn't even support their employees. Last month they only paid half of their wages.

Don't even mention an order of 2.5 million. Even if it's million, I can negotiate a % rate with a little effort!"

The eldest brother nodded silently, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and finished eating, then said in a low voice: "I didn't get my salary last month, and it's even a question whether I can get 1500 this month."

"Is that so?" Li Zehua felt distressed. He saw that his collar was white and the cuffs were untied, but he was reluctant to change his shirt.

There was really no other way before. Most of the money I earned was used to pay off debts. I had no money left. Even if I bought something at a cheap stall, I had to bargain for even a 10-dollar price.

After thinking for a while, he asked his cousin again: "Tell me, if I can give you a fixed order every month, how much commission can you and my brother get in the factory?"

"Every month?"

Zhao Xuewen looked at him suspiciously, "Don't lie to me, this kind of order is in great demand in the whole Dongguan.

If you really have this ability, why are you still working in a factory?
I can just go out and rent a production line, and work with your brother to make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, right?"

Pointing at my aunt and uncle, he said, "Look at these two old people, they are still working as security guards and canteen waitresses in the factory at such an old age.

I have to do cleaning work and I don’t even get a thousand dollars a month.

Just like that, I will probably be fired next month.

Look at me again. It sounds good to be called assistant to the general manager, but who will I know when I go out?

I couldn’t get any orders, but I was still scolded. If I didn’t have four kids at home who wanted to eat, I would have gone out and worked on my own a long time ago.”

Thaksin believed this because his cousin had opened his own factory in the millennium and could earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a day at most.

As a result, the technical level is not enough, the system construction cannot keep up, and the quality control is not up to standard.

Later, the customer sued me for compensation, the factory went bankrupt, the money I earned was not enough to pay the compensation, and now I am still in debt.

"Okay then, Zhang Tao, bring my bag over here."

As Li Zehua spoke, he took the package, opened it, and took out several large red envelopes. "Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about the order later.

Uncle and aunt, this is a small gift from me as your nephew, please accept it.

Jiahui, bring your brothers and sisters over here. Here, this is a gift from your uncle. Take it quickly."

I gave two thousand each to the elders and five hundred each to the children.

My cousin is not married, but it’s also 500.

Then he took out a big red envelope and handed it to his eldest brother, "Here is 10,000 yuan. From today on, you don't have to use your salary to pay off your family's debts.

You can use this money for yourself first and buy some nice clothes. I will arrange your work.

When you make some money, buy a house here and get married, but remember to give mom some money every month for household expenses."

Before anyone could refuse, he continued, "The Mercedes downstairs is indeed rented.

But I have my own company in Shanghai and I also drive a Mercedes.

As for these OEM orders, there are many more besides those given to Zhaoxu Electronics.

At the beginning, you can get a few million every month, or even tens or twenty million, which can be given steadily.

It's up to you guys later. If you can make it, the quality is good, and you can afford it, 100 million is fine."

He sat down, picked up the wine glass, toasted his stunned cousin and elder brother, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone present was stunned by his words.

It was my cousin who reacted first, "You're not drunk, are you?"

"Haha, I would never lie to anyone but you."

Li Zehua took out several newly signed contracts and said, "Look at this, our company is Party A and has the right to designate a replacement foundry.

It doesn't matter who you give the OEM order to, as long as you can guarantee the quality and delivery time, I will definitely give you priority.

But let me be frank, relatives are relatives, business is business, the factory must strictly inspect the goods when they receive them, if they do not meet the standards, they will be reworked or fined! "

"Fuck! You got it!"

Zhao Xuewen read the contract carefully and suppressed his inner excitement, "This is what I should do. I have suffered a great loss once.

I was a foundry before, but because the quality inspection failed, I lost millions, and I haven’t paid it back yet..."

I don’t know if it was because she drank too much or if she was just expressing her true feelings, but her whole face looked unusually red.

Everyone stared at him in a daze. Even the kids at the next table who were happy to receive red envelopes were infected by the atmosphere and didn't dare to speak.

I just looked at this and that, not understanding why everyone suddenly became silent.

I don't know when my cousin's wife walked up to Zhao Xuewen and held his hand tightly.

"Brother, if you are willing, you can continue to work in the factory."

Li Zehua turned around and said to his eldest brother who was also confused:

"If you don't want to, then we can discuss a profit-sharing model, with someone outside acting as the middleman. Two points at a time is about right. If you want to take it easy, you can set up a trading company that specializes in reselling orders.

From now on, all contracts under my company's name will be handled by you. Is that okay with you?"

Li Zeren was so confused that he had no ability to think and could only nod.

"Then be the middleman."

Li Zehua made the decision for him directly, "Cousin, you also know that when relatives start a business together, they are not afraid of not making money, but they are afraid of having difficulty dividing the money.

I'm not doubting your character, but I want to make it clear from the beginning so that there won't be disputes in the future that would damage the relationship between our two families.

My elder brother has a soft personality and doesn't like to communicate with others. Managing a factory is not suitable for him, so he follows the industry rules and engages in resale trading.

As for you, you can work in your current factory, rent a production line, or form a partnership with others to set up your business as soon as possible.

Don’t be too anxious at the beginning. Plan your own schedule based on how many people you have and how much you can produce. Anyway, you will never be short of orders.”

Zhao Xuewen finally reacted, "Thank you so much..."

"We are one family, so we don't talk about our own things. Let's drink."

"Yes, yes, drink."

……

“Are you really rich?”

Even after getting into the Mercedes, my brother was still dizzy. He didn't drink any alcohol, but he was drunker than those who did.

"I'll tell you later."

Li Zehua opened the car window and greeted his second aunt and her family who came out to see him off, "It's late, second aunt and uncle, you should go to bed early."

He then said hello to his cousin who insisted on seeing me off, "I will ask the company's business and legal departments to come over early tomorrow morning to help you figure out how to fix this.

Whether you work in the current factory or go out on your own, orders will follow you wherever you go.”

After giving all the instructions, he drove away under the reluctant gazes of everyone.

"I'll send someone to help you with the trading company. I'll arrange the finance and personnel for you in the early stages, and you'll learn to manage it yourself in the future."

He is always patient with his family, “But one thing you have to remember is that making money is secondary, living a good life is the most important.

Go to Pengcheng, the environment there is better. There are too many factories in Dongguan, and it is not suitable for living because of the crowded crowds.

You can rent a house first and live in a good place. When you make money later, you can buy a house in Pengcheng and settle down there. "

He had never experienced such a big event before, so he was a little unconfident. "I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it well."

"What are you afraid of? You're not born knowing it. Just learn it."

Li Zehua handed him a cigarette and lit it, "Anyway, I'll send someone to help you in the first three months, and later I'll only stay in the legal department to help you deal with the contract.

As long as no one takes advantage of you, you will definitely make money.

When you grow bigger in the future, you can try to take some orders from outside and make some connections. Cross-border import and export trade is not impossible.

Anyway, I'm here to support you. As long as you don't kill or burn anything, you can try to do anything within the rules.

Don't be afraid of losses. I'll give you orders worth tens of millions this year. Next year, you'll have a firm foothold and it won't be easy to get a house. All you need is a hand."

The eldest brother was very excited, "Are there really so many?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Li Zehua casually flipped through the contract signed today and said, "Okay, figure it out yourself. I have to go to Yangcheng to meet with the leader of the cooperative unit early tomorrow morning.

You can rest in the hotel at night, and discuss with your cousin tomorrow about resigning from your factory job if necessary.

Zhang Tao, please make some arrangements and find a better place for him in Pengcheng tomorrow. Forget it, let him rent a house by himself. Bring the receipt over later and I will reimburse you for the first three months' rent.

It's up to you in the future. If you can do it well, do it. If you can't do it well, think about what you can do, even if it's just opening a supermarket to support yourself."

He is not a babysitter, he can help a little, but the rest of the way, let him take it as it comes...

Early the next morning, after having breakfast in the hotel buffet restaurant, he was led away by the Pinxixi team leader who had been waiting for a long time.

"Go to Yangcheng, meet with the people from the Governor's Office and the Six Gates, and try to set a date for the unified investigation as soon as possible!" (End of this chapter)
