Chen Fei, who suffered a double blow to his career and marriage, suddenly discovered that he could actually hear his son's inner thoughts.
What?! My son traveled back from the future?
...A long time ago, Mr. Wang from Shunfeng Company said that he would come to meet Chen Chen, but Pony Ma had already left and Mr. Wang had not yet arrived.
He actually had the nerve to call me.
"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry, I've been busy with a lot of things at the company lately and can't leave. The competition in the logistics industry is so fierce right now, and I'm in a price war with several other companies."
Chen Chen understood. With the logistics industry just starting out, SF Express, YTO Express, and YTO Express all vying for market share, this was also Wang Wei's most difficult time. After all, Mr. Wang wasn't the type to buy a plane yet.
The company has not yet gone public. After Chen Chen and the other party proposed to insist on home delivery, his operating costs increased. The bigger the stall, the higher the cost.
The most common city needs at least one main station and branch stations. Each station requires transportation, and he is responsible for the investment.
Chen Chen's simple understanding was that Old Wang was short of money.
"That sorting machine is working, right?"
"It works. I've already used it and it's super fast, which has saved me a lot of costs."
Speaking of this, Wang Wei is very happy. His cost is high but after using the new machine, his efficiency has improved. At present, he has installed the machine in two major cities, Yanjing and Shanghai.
Xiao Chen thought to himself that Mr. Wang was such a cunning person that he didn't even inform him when the machine was ready for use. The logistics company could use the machine, and his warehouse also needed it!
This is because he is afraid that he will snatch the machine from him!
After all, even if we can produce machines now, there won’t be many.
Xiao Chen and Mr. Wang argued for a while before asking, "Why did you talk to me today? I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you."
Wang Wei immediately said, "I heard you're planning to build a super warehouse? We should still cooperate on logistics, right? If that's the case, will the logistics costs go up a bit?"
Wang Wei has already regretted it. After Chen Fei's factory started operation, the amount of goods transported increased dramatically, but he did not make any money from Chen Chen. According to the initial cooperation contract, Shunfeng gave Chen Chen the most favorable price!
The drivers took away the gas and wages, and the rest was his, but... that little money was far less than what Chen Fei earned.
“You want to raise the price!”
"Xiao Chen, I'm under a lot of pressure here. Just a little bit of a raise."
"Are you dreaming? Are you pretending this contract doesn't exist? We're strategic partners. You've even got the sorting machines, and now you're still trying to take advantage of me?" Chen Chen snarled, "Boss Wang, before, I didn't have much money, so naturally, whatever you said was the truth. But now, I'm Hailv Group, and you can't afford to offend me, okay? No increase."
“…”
Damn it!
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment. He never expected Xiao Chen to be so cruel. However, he could still give up Hailv Group's business. Although he didn't make much money, Hailv Group's business was stable and the drivers were willing to deliver Hailv Group's goods. There was no other way. The goods could be shipped out as soon as the car drove in. There was no need to wait.
For drivers, waiting for goods to be transported is the most annoying and the most unprofitable thing. As long as there is goods to be transported, they are willing to make a little profit as long as they do not lose money. Small amounts add up to a lot.
Xiao Chen has Wang Wei under his thumb. If Wang Wei gives up Hailv Group's business, he will go find other logistics companies.
In the past, he didn’t have the confidence to talk to other companies, but now, if Xiao Chen gives a hint, other logistics companies will definitely give gifts.
"I know you need money. How about I help you issue corporate bonds?" Xiao Chen said, "First, raise some funds. Wouldn't that be a good idea?"
“Corporate bonds?”
"Yes, you're an adult, so you definitely understand!" Chen Chen laughed. "Your company is doing very well right now, so you're fully qualified to issue corporate bonds. It's like borrowing money. Three to five years later, you can just buy the bonds back and pay some interest, just like government bonds. You see, even the country issues government bonds, so you can do it too. Be bold."
"I do want to, but the question is, can you do it?" Wang Wei really doubted it because Xiao Chen was too young.
It is easy for him to get a bank loan now. Thirty or fifty million is not a problem and can be easily borrowed. But now he wants to grab the market and burn money. What he needs is not thirty or fifty million but tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
As long as the bonds are paid at maturity, there will be no problem.
Xiao Chen is looking for business for commercial banks. Banks issue bonds and charge a lot of fees. For tens of billions of debt claims, he must earn at least 10% in fees.
According to his plan, his own commercial bank will be a high-end bank in the future, and it will definitely not be an ordinary fancy bank.
"Please remove the word '?'. As long as you agree to finance you with 30 to 50 billion, it won't be a problem!"
Xiao Chen thought that his crappy engineering bonds have now been sold for billions. The people of Hong Kong are very interested in the engineering bonds of the motherland!
Of course, it is mainly the Hong Kong bosses who are behind the hype. Mr. He Wenbing is now a well-known mainland investor in Hong Kong. He is a good man who brings mainland project bonds to bring warmth to the people of Hong Kong.
Originally, Xiao Chen was planning to issue some highway bonds, but unfortunately, that old man He Guangya was not a decent person.
Wang Wei needed to think about it, and finally he decided to come to Qianlong and Xiao Chen to talk face to face in a few days.
[I thought you weren't coming, but you still have to come see me, Xiao Chen!]
Chen Chen had just hung up the phone when another call rang.
This time it’s Guan Hongyue!
"Xiao Chen, is your father back?" Guan Hongyue looked very concerned.
[Guan Guan has been calling since yesterday, but... she won't tell me what's going on!]
"No, it'll take a few days. He's in Yiwu discussing investments!" Chen Chen said, "He's already discussed several large investments, and my dad is overseeing them. I'm in charge of the company's affairs right now. Mayor Guan, what can I do for you?"
"..." Guan Hongyue was also a little angry, but there was nothing she could do. Chen Fei was in Yiwu now, and every time he called, he would just say a few words quickly and then hang up.
Are you looking for Xiao Chen to attend the entrepreneurs' symposium held in the city?
A furry kid sitting among a group of bosses, this scene... is too exciting. In fact, Guan Hongyue doesn't care whether it is exciting or not. The key is that Xiao Chen has a bad temper and is not as steady and capable of making decisions as Chen Fei.
For example, in the restructuring of the Hongqi factory this time, whether it is the boss or the government, everyone is an adult and has their own bottom line and sense of propriety. They negotiate, push and pull, compromise with each other and finally reach a good result that satisfies both parties.
As a result, they met Xiao Chen, who smashed things around and made the adults dizzy. The key point was that this kid was powerful and could stab them in the back, and every stab was fatal.
How the hell can I bear this? He's just a child, and even if the adults are angry, they can't care!
But... Guan Hongyue had no choice: "The city is going to hold an entrepreneur symposium to discuss the future development plan of Qianlong City and inform all business owners of the government's plans. I hope everyone can support our work!"
