Xie Wan gave Fan Zhi 50,000 Hong Kong dollars and asked him to help with the company registration.
The 50,000 Hong Kong dollars was a gift from the two gang leaders to Xie Wan when he went with Sang Biao to deal with the Kowloon branch of the Green Bamboo Gang and 14K in the early morning.
A total of 100,000 yuan was given as a filial gift to Xie Wan.
Originally, he gave Xu Bing 100,000 yuan, but Xu Bing was frightened and did not dare to accept it.
Therefore, Xu Bing's 100,000 troops are also here with Xie Wan.
Xie Wan said that she helped Xu Bing invest in his own business, and her real estate investment in Gangcheng accounted for Xu Bing's 1% stake.
When Xie Wan said that he was going to invest 10 million to buy land in Gangcheng, Xu Bing thought he was listening to a fairy tale.
The number of ten million was beyond his comprehension, and he thought Xie Wan was talking nonsense.
Xu Bing didn't take this one percent investment seriously at all.
It was already dark when Fan Zhi left.
Xu Bing slept for a whole day. When he woke up, he found out that Xie Wan had been running around outside all day. He was a little worried that his eldest son might have died suddenly.
"Boss, are we going to kill someone again tonight?"
"No, we're not a real gang.
I have asked Sang Biao to arrange for people to continue beating gongs and drums in other places where Taiwanese people gather to look for people."
Xie Wan practiced in the Huisui Hall for an hour in the morning and didn't feel sleepy at all.
When the two went downstairs to prepare for dinner, they met Zhang Qiushan and Li Baili, who looked worried.
"Chief Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
Section Chief Zhang felt that Xie Wan and Xu Bing were just two young people who knew nothing. When he was upset, he was too lazy to talk to them.
Li Baihe was still talkative, and said to Xie Wan: "We came to Hong Kong this time to participate in the Asia-Pacific Trade Exhibition organized by the Hong Kong British Government.
The mainland trade delegation had a total of five booths, one of which was allocated to our Sichuan Province.
The official exhibition will start tomorrow, and Section Chief Zhang is worried.
We have products, but we definitely can’t sell them, and it would be a waste of the exhibition booth that the country has worked so hard to obtain.
He felt bad. "
It just so happened that Zhang Qiushan and Li Baili didn't have dinner either.
The four of them left the hotel and went out to eat together.
Actually, Xie Wan now had enough money to treat everyone to a meal, but in keeping with the spirit of not showing off one's wealth, she kept silent and followed Li Baili to the porridge shop they had eaten on the first day.
Along the way, I learned a general idea of the situation from Li Baili.
"As you know, Sichuan Province is strongest in agriculture and military industry, and the only products we can export are agricultural and sideline products."
Xie Wan nodded. As far as she knew, that was indeed the case in Sichuan Province in the 1970s.
The military industry was very developed. Changhong, a famous home appliance giant in later generations, was still a state-owned enterprise producing military products at that time.
But military products cannot be exhibited.
In essence, Sichuan Province is still a major agricultural province. After all, it has been known as the Land of Abundance since ancient times, and its grain output has always ranked among the top in the country.
However, food is already in short supply in the country, and if Sichuan Province wants to support other provinces and cities, it cannot export food.
Therefore, the only things that can be exported are agricultural and sideline products.
Li Baihe said: "In fact, we have participated in this kind of trade exhibition in the port city before.
But in the previous few times, we basically came back empty-handed.
The official exhibition will be held tomorrow. Other provinces are gearing up for the event. They have a wide variety of products and are competitive, so there is hope of closing deals.
It is entirely foreseeable that our Sichuan Province booth will be deserted tomorrow.
Today, Lao Zhang was teased by the representatives of Shanghai Stock Exchange, and he was in a bad mood..."
Although Xie Wan and Xu Bing had only sneaked into the delegation as names, Xie Wan couldn't just stand by and watch when he saw the delegation from his hometown encountered difficulties.
She asked Li Baihe: "Sister Li, what agricultural and sideline products did we bring?"
Li Baili sighed and said, "You are all from Sichuan Province, you can guess it!
It's just chili peppers, peppercorns, peanuts and jasmine tea."
Now Xie Wan felt sorry for Zhang Qiushan and Li Baili.
These four items are really hard to sell in Hong Kong.
People in Hong Kong have light tastes, so the two heavy-tasting condiments, chili and Sichuan peppercorns, definitely have low sales in Hong Kong.
Tianfu peanuts have a crispy texture. Although they are quite famous in the province, they have almost no sales outside the province.
The jasmine tea from Sichuan Province has a strong aroma and is very refreshing. Sichuan people like it, but it is not well-known outside the province and cannot attract much attention.
However, as a member of a team, Xie Wan felt that he could not just stand by and watch Zhang Qiushan and Li Baili worry.
After dinner, I went to Zhang Qiushan’s room to look at the samples.
When Xie Wan saw the two sacks of chili peppers and peppercorns, his mind was filled with hot pot.
But people here don’t like spicy hotpot!
Xie Wan suddenly thought of Nancheng’s famous beef noodles and dandan noodles.
There is also the "Laoganma" which was sold out in Europe in later generations.
"Sister Li, you said we should sell dried chili peppers. Dried peppercorns can't be sold. If we make chili oil and sell it, will the province agree?"
Li Baili and Zhang Qiushan were stunned.
"People here don't eat spicy food, so it shouldn't be easy to sell, right?"
Xie Wan asked: "Besides the local merchants from Hong Kong, will there be any European merchants participating tomorrow?"
Li Baihe nodded, "Yes, this trade fair is hosted by the British Hong Kong government. I have seen the invitation list, and there are some businessmen from the UK, Belgium, Italy and other countries participating."
Xie Wan said: "Many countries in Europe have rainy weather and heavy humidity all year round. They may not be unable to accept chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, but they just don't eat them.
I think if it is made into spicy oil and paired with the right food, it may not be unsalable.”
Zhang Qiushan suddenly became a little excited and said to Xie Wan: "Your idea is good. But where can we make chili oil now?
And how should we prepare the food pairing you mentioned?
As long as there are foreign merchants, they will definitely buy it. Every household in Sichuan Province can make chili oil. If they take the order back, are they still worried that no one will produce it? "
Xie Wan thought for a moment and said, “Chief Zhang, if you have to trust me, just give me this task.
I will make you some fragrant chili oil tomorrow morning."
Zhang Qiushan felt that there was no harm in giving it a try, so he agreed to Xie Wan's proposal.
Xie Wan assigned tasks to everyone.
Fortunately, it was just getting dark and many shops were still open.
Xie Wan wrote a purchase list and asked Zhang Qiushan, Li Baihe and Xu Bing to go out and purchase the goods.
Fearing that Zhang Qiushan and Li Baihe would be reluctant to part with the money, Xie Wan also gave Xu Bing two thousand Hong Kong dollars, asking him to pay the bill first if he could not make the payment.
When the purchased things were brought back, they were first sent to her room.
Xie Wan asked for some samples to take away.
She left the hotel alone and soon came back carrying a cow leg.
It happened to be seen by comrades from other delegations, who asked her:
"Xiao Xie, where did you get the cow leg?
What is this for? "
Xie Wan didn't explain. He dealt with the person, returned to the room and started getting ready.
