Chapter 106 Don’t Just Make Yourself Fat

Li Ye strolled along the small street and bought a lot of good things, and his little follower Wang Jianqiang also got a lot of benefits.

When Li Ye put a pair of walkman headphones on Wang Jianqiang's ears, the expression of this silly brother was so wonderful.

[It turns out that the world outside is so wonderful. There are so many benefits to following me. ]

Wang Jianqiang secretly felt lucky that Jin Peng and his men had dispersed from the beginning, which gave him the opportunity to be Li Ye's follower. There were so many benefits along the way!

[My brother Ono is still the richest. 】

After more than half an hour, Jin Peng and others came back.

When they saw the bulging bag on Wang Jianqiang's back, they asked in surprise, "Xiao Ye, did you buy so many things?"

"I didn't buy much," Li Ye looked at them and smiled, "What's wrong with you? Are you all so frugal?"

Jin Peng, Hao Jian and their group basically didn't buy too many things, they all seemed to be good men who were frugal at home.

Ma Qianshan, who was so excited just now, said: "Stop talking. People over there don't speak Mandarin. They speak Cantonese in a babble. We can't understand a word of it."

Li Ye sighed and said, "Then Jin Peng and Hao Jian, you guys don't understand either?"

“Heh~~”

Jin Peng touched his scalp awkwardly and responded to Li Ye with an awkward smile.

He and Jin Peng have been traveling between Yangcheng and Dongshan for the past six months, and they have only learned the basics of Cantonese, which is as difficult as the eighth level of a foreign language.

If others cooperate with them and guess, it's fine. But if they don't, they can only stare at them.

Li Ye glanced behind everyone and asked, "What about Sanshui? His Cantonese should be OK."

Mu Weimin and Ma Qianshan glanced at Jin Peng and said nothing, looking around at the scenery.

Hao Jian smiled and said, "We are used to it in Yangcheng. Many people can speak Mandarin. I didn't expect it to be like this here. When Sanshui comes over later, let him lead the brothers to buy as much as they want."

Jin Peng also came over with a smile and said, "Xiao Ye, when did you learn Cantonese? Please help us translate. I see they sell high heels over there. I want to buy a few more pairs for my wife."

“I don’t speak Cantonese.”

Li Ye smiled, reached out and took the backpack from Wang Jianqiang's back, and took out a simple calculator from it.

"Here, each of you take one. After you enter the store, don't say anything. First point at the things you want to buy, then punch in the numbers on the calculator.

Remember to keep a cool expression, we are here to spend money, if you don’t give us face, we would rather not buy.”

"Oh, this method works, let's try it."

Jin Peng took a few calculators and went with Ma Qianshan and others.

But Hao Jian saw Li Ye's look and fell behind.

"Is Sanshui with Boss Zhang's gang?"

"It should be. He just told us that he wanted to go to the market near the examination center."

"You've become more capable! You're also investigating the market."

Li Ye smiled and said, "We have a shareholders' meeting tonight, and we need to sort out some of the rules."

Hao Jian nodded: "Okay, I'll talk to Jin Peng later."

Hao Jian is the second largest shareholder besides Li Ye. However, when opening up the Yangcheng trade route, Jin Peng brought two younger brothers, Sanshui and Ergou, with him, and they had the momentum to suppress Hao Jian in the initial team.

Li Ye was busy with the college entrance examination and writing novels, and had no time to sort out the problems in detail. In addition, Jin Peng was actually a very open-minded person, so Hao Jian did not think there was anything difficult to deal with.

But this time Li Ye added three new people, even Wang Jianqiang. Hao Jian knew that Li Ye, the man behind the scenes, was obviously going to make some moves.

Li Ye's idea was quite effective. Jin Peng and others came back with their purchases in no time, and also brought Sanshui back with them.

"Oh, I just went to the watch shop over there for a while, and you guys can't wait any longer? We're out for a whole day! Don't worry, don't worry."

When Sanshui saw Li Ye's half-smile, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly laughed.

"Of course I'm not in a hurry," Li Ye said with a smile, "You take a few people, I take a few people, and we go shopping separately. We have to make sure that the brothers return satisfied."

"Okay, I've found out that the most popular items here are watches, accessories, and electronic products.

Besides, stockings are the hottest item, but the business in that store is so good that the clerk is hard to deal with, so I plan to ask Boss Zhang to buy them for me."

Li Ye didn't wait for Sanshui to finish, and said, "Want to buy stockings? I can buy them. How many pairs do you want?"

“.”

"Xiao Ye, buy me ten or twenty pairs. I want to bring them to my wife and sister-in-law."

"I want five pairs too."

"Brother Xiao Ye, here's the money, please help me buy it!"

Everyone followed Li Ye to the opposite side of the Hong Kong Island store that sold stockings, and then watched Li Ye slip in and chattered.

Jin Peng frowned and said, "Xiao Ye didn't speak Cantonese, did he?"

Hao Jian and others were also confused, but they saw the owner of the stocking shop simply left other customers behind and dealt with Li Ye's business first.

It was not until Li Ye came back with a big bag of goodies that Jin Peng expressed his doubts.

Li Ye said casually: "Oh, I was afraid of trouble, so I spoke to them directly in English."

“.”

Everyone was immediately in awe, looking at Li Ye's not very tall figure, they all seemed a little taller.

Li Ye can actually speak a little Cantonese, but it is definitely very different from the locals.

Even after many years, I still have trouble communicating with some people from Hong Kong Island because I can't speak Cantonese.

So Li Ye entered the store on Hong Kong Island and started talking directly about "number pool" and "Ao Te Te Cat".

After all, he was a person who had been tortured by English for more than ten years in the later generations. His short and powerful English sentences and his accent were quite pure.

Coupled with a cool "not short of money" expression, the other party would basically entertain Li Ye promptly and make the transaction pleasant.

But when Jin Peng and others heard this, they felt a little uncomfortable.

[You want someone who can speak English to translate for you when you buy something? What level of cadre are you?]

. . . . . . .

That night, Li Ye and his companions had no time to return to Yangcheng, so they found a hotel to stay in Pengcheng.

At that time, Pengcheng had not yet started the "Pengcheng speed" that amazed the world. There were newly built foreign-related export enterprises and residential areas everywhere, which looked quite like the urban villages in later generations.

After the meal, Sanshui laughed and started to get along with everyone.

"Let me take you to see some dancing! I know there are a lot of people dancing in the square over there every day. They look so pretty in their high heels and flowery dresses."

Ma Qianshan and others made some unusual movements, so Jin Peng gave them a few instructions and let them go.

Hao Jian has already told him that there will be a shareholders' meeting tonight, so it would be better to let Sanshui go.

Otherwise, even Wang Jianqiang would be qualified to participate, but Sanshui, who had "made great contributions", was not, and there might be a rift between the brothers.

After Sanshui and others left, Li Ye first asked Hao Jian to borrow the hotel's phone to call Ergou who stayed in Yangcheng to make sure there was nothing urgent before starting the meeting.

He closed the door and asked Hao Jian and Jin Peng: "You saw it all on Zhongying Street today, right? What do you think?"

Hao Jian and Jin Peng were a little confused and didn't understand what Li Ye meant.

Li Ye sighed, "I took you to Chung Ying Street not just to buy things, but to let you see the gap between us and Hong Kong Island, and the gap between us and the rest of the world."

Hao Jian said puzzledly: "We know the gap. Western products are indeed good, but we, as self-employed individuals, cannot handle import and export."

Li Ye said patiently: "Times are changing. The connection between Pengcheng and Hong Kong Island will become closer and closer in the future. We must seize the opportunity."

Jin Peng asked in surprise: "How do you seize the initiative? Xiaoye, didn't you say you wouldn't touch the smuggler business?"

Li Ye felt that Jin Peng and others could not keep up with his thinking, so he said directly: "Aren't you afraid that you will get hurt if you have too much money? When I go back tomorrow, I will discuss with Guo Donglun and ask him to find a way to get us the qualifications of a registered unit.

Then we will invest the surplus funds from the clothing business in Pengcheng, find ways to buy land, build factories, train workers, train management, accumulate reserve talents, and wait until the big trend comes, then we will be qualified to ride on the train. "

Jin Peng and Hao Jian looked at each other, both thinking that Li Ye's step was too big.

Their small group now consists of only a dozen people, all of whom are "oddballs" from Qingshui County.

This will directly build factories, train workers, and reserve management talents.

Ono, you might as well get your grandfather to be the factory director. He is indeed a talented person.

Your dad is almost in trouble, right?

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Li Ye insisted: "While we still have time, it's okay to suffer a little loss and pay a little tuition fee. You can learn if you don't know how to do it! You can get up again after you fall!"

"If we wait until the policy is relaxed to allow private enterprises, and we still have companies like Sanshui and Ergou, are you waiting for people to run us out of business?"

Li Ye was also helpless.

It is now 1982. In 1984, Guo Jia implemented an open policy and allowed private enterprises to be listed. Then giants such as Vanke, Lenovo, and Jianlibao started their business.

But they did not start from scratch, they already had a complete set of business reserves, they just changed the nature of them.

There are so many talented business people in China, and people like Chen Jianghe are everywhere.

Compared with others, Li Ye's current founding team is nothing but trash. They can't even last a single round in the ring and are knocked out.

So they explored, screened, prepared, and poached people in advance. In two years, they were able to put together a team that was able to barely seize the advanced opportunity provided by Li Ye. Li Ye was very happy.

Any combat-ready enterprise needs a complete and united management structure from top to bottom, like a pyramid.

Don’t think that time travelers are omnipotent. Even if you are given a “Great Dictionary of Time Travel,” without experienced executors, all your dreams will be castles in the air.

A time traveler who beats people like Ma Ali and Wang Wanda with his bare hands?

Brother, don’t go to college, just practice Taoism!

With a shout of "the sword is coming", gods and ghosts will tremble in fear. You have the final say in this world.

They all kowtow to you.

In his previous life, Li Ye had met several wealthy second-generation returnees.

The management experience is complete, and after returning, they have to tidy up the workplace, talking about Haier's iron-blooded spirit and Alibaba's closed-loop process.

What happened? People were in a state of panic, and in the end the old man had to come out to save the situation.

Why?

You are just a small and medium-sized enterprise with only a hundred or so employees. What the hell are you going to learn from Haier and Alibaba?

Do you have that talent pool?

Do you have that rising platform?

Do you expect a bunch of idiots who earn three to five thousand yuan a month to work hard and give you the power of a small universe?

Why don’t you just spend 10,000 yuan a month to hire Joseph Tsai to work for you?

"Brother Xiaoye, you decide what to do. I, Hao Jian, will not hesitate. But if we ask Guo Donglun to get us some qualifications, what will we do if he swallows us up?"

Hao Jian put forward his own opinions, and Jin Peng nodded and expressed his concerns.

"Let's not talk about whether he is that kind of person or not. Even if he is, what can he take away? Money? Land? Factory?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "We only want experienced people and an experienced team."

"Okay, I'll look for Guo Donglun when I get back. We may not have much surplus cash this year, but we will definitely have a lot next year."

Jin Peng and Hao Jian still didn't quite understand, but they both agreed.

Li Ye said: "Of course, if Guo Donglun is unwilling to cooperate, we will find someone else."

After Wen Qingsheng returned to Beijing, he took up a real job in COFCO Corporation. There must be an import and export branch in Pengcheng. If that doesn't work, Li Ye plans to use his connections.

"Let's just settle the next step of development. Now let me talk about the discipline issue."

Li Ye became serious and looked directly at Jin Peng and said, "I have been in Yangcheng for more than ten days, and I have a general understanding of our current business. I won't go into many details, but I must remind you."

"Any business that is not in the interests of Guo Jia must not be done."

Li Ye simply pulled out a piece of paper and started drawing for Jin Peng and Hao Jian on it.

"The clothing we are mainly selling now is produced by the factory. In the production process, it creates jobs for Guo Jia and pays taxes, so this is beneficial to Guo Jia,"

“But did the smuggling business create jobs for Guo Jia? Did it pay taxes to Guo Jia?

If all the profits belong to individuals, do you think Guo Jia is a fool and will let you do it in peace?"

Li Ye threw the pen away and said without question: "If you don't understand something in the future, just draw it yourself and analyze it to see if it enriches someone and harms Guo Jia. Don't seek death and drag down your brothers."

"If the business we do makes Guo Jia profit, then it's fine for him to drink some soup, but if you want to eat alone, then you can just wait to be punished and have to sell your pants!"

Jin Peng was sweating profusely.

He had heard Sanshui's muttering a lot in the past few days. The smuggling business made money so quickly, which was much more enjoyable than working hard to sell clothes and making a few cents for each piece.

But now I think about it, I really lost my mind.

A X-cell can kill you, and yet you're thinking of stealing Guo Jia's girl?

"Xiao Ye, San Shui is too young. I will teach him a lesson tomorrow. We are all brothers. Don't take it too seriously."

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "Whether to clean up or not is up to you. I just want the result. Also, let Ma Qianshan and the others get familiar with the business in Yangcheng as soon as possible.

After a while, everyone will be rotated. Sanshui cannot be allowed to stay in Yangcheng any longer."

"Okay, Xiaoye, you know a lot. If I need to fight, I'll fight. If I need to kill, I'll kill. I won't say a word."

Jin Peng quickly made a promise to Li Ye. He was actually very smart and he noticed that something was wrong with Sanshui. He also knew that his junior brother could turn into a ruthless person at any moment.

What's more, behind Li Ye, there is an old guy like Li Zhongfa who has experienced many ups and downs!

Li Ye has actually saved his face!

A few people talked about some details and discussed some "disciplines" written by Li Ye. Then they heard the hotel staff outside calling them to answer the phone.

Hao Jian went to answer the call first, then immediately came back to call Li Ye, saying that it was Mr. Li who called directly from Qingshui County.

Li Ye didn't know what was going on, so he hurried over to answer the phone.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?"

"What else? If you don't come back, the family will be in chaos?"

"How could that be! With your Five Fingers Mountain pressing down on us, no one can turn the tables."

Li Yecai didn't believe what Li Zhongfa said!

He has received several calls from Li Zhongfa in the past few days, and each time he was urging him to go back.

What about lectures, press interviews? They sound like a headache.

Anyway, Li Ye is now a positive example, so let Principal Chang and old-fashioned people like Grandpa take the blame!

Li Zhong was so angry, but he suppressed his anger and said, "This time the reporter from the provincial newspaper said that he must interview you.

Counting the days, the acceptance letter should arrive soon, and you must come out to show your face."

Li Ye wanted to smile and make excuses to Li Zhongfa, but the other party said the most important words.

"The capital sent you a telegram and a letter. Will you come back to see me?"

"Okay grandpa, I'll be back as soon as possible."

The sky is big, the earth is big, and Xiaoyu is the biggest.

There’s no WeChat these days, so you can’t leave others alone!

The update is late today, Lao Feng would like to apologize to everyone in advance!

Also, if anyone has tickets, please see if you can support us. Thank you.
