After eating and drinking, grandpa and grandma went for a nap. Yang's mother and father took Gege to the car dealership. Yang Jing stayed alone. He and his uncle took two stools and sat outside the gate to bask in the winter sun.
"Uncle, are you interested in foreign trade?"
"Foreign trade? What kind of trade?" Lao Ju lit a cigarette and asked while smoking.
"Well, it's mainly about fabrics. Of course, if you want to do OEM production, that's no problem. I can provide you with the funds."
The uncle took a puff of cigarette thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Forget about OEM production. I have no experience in that area. Besides, there are too many aspects to take care of in OEM production. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone. Jing, you can take care of the fabric foreign trade first."
"Uncle, do you know the brand 'Hans'? It's an American clothing brand, now known as the number one clothing brand in the United States. Its English name is Hanes."
"Hey, why does this name sound so familiar?" The uncle scratched his head in confusion, "Oh, now I remember, I bought a set of casual clothes for your sister from Taobao during the summer vacation. It seems to be the Hengshi one you bought, but it's not very good. It seems like I was cheated."
Seeing his uncle's annoyed expression, Yang Jing said with a smile: "Uncle, I guess you have run into an unscrupulous merchant. Taobao is really useless now, it's so chaotic. Anyway, I never buy things on Taobao now. I would rather use JD.com or Amazon than buy things on Taobao. I was cheated badly when I was in college..."
The uncle smiled and patted Yang Jing on the shoulder, with an expression of deep approval on his face.
"Uncle, let's not talk about Taobao. I own Hanes, an American clothing brand. Well, you know I have some special connections in the United States. I am sure I can get Hanes to purchase the fabric you provide. Of course, you have to get high-quality fabric."
The uncle shrugged and said, "If you want to do something else, I might still be a little hesitant, but have you forgotten that when you were six or seven years old, I worked in cotton textiles for two years? Although I was doing domestic trade at that time, I still knew a lot about this aspect. Moreover, although the National Cotton Mill is not doing well now, many of your uncle's classmates are still active in this industry. Do you still remember your uncle Li Wei? He is now the sales manager of Hengfeng Textile, and your uncle Tian Peng and brother-in-law Jiu are also doing sales in Xinjiang Province. In addition, my uncle now knows many people who are doing this. I am confident in this aspect. As long as I am familiar with the market, it won't take me long to catch up with this area."
Old Moxibustion's words made Yang Jing feel more at ease. It was not that Yang Jing did not want his uncle to do more profitable and easier work, but as a nephew, Yang Jing knew Old Moxibustion's temper best.
Although his uncle always seems to be laughing and joking as if he is not doing anything serious, Yang Jing knows very well that his uncle is actually very arrogant in his heart.
To put it bluntly, my uncle is a person who is unwilling to accept "food given out of pity". This can be seen from the fact that he started working in society at the age of 18 and has persisted until now.
The old moxibustion ability is definitely there, and even Yang Jing admires this. It's just that the old uncle has been hindered by his grandparents in recent years, so he has never really been able to do it. Now that the health of his grandparents has improved, they don't have to tie the old uncle to their side anymore, so with the old moxibustion ability, Yang Jing believes that the old uncle can definitely stand up again in a short time.
However, due to Lao Jiu's temper, Yang Jing would not let his uncle run the business he was running. Given his temper, he probably would not let his uncle help him.
So, just don't let your uncle do your job, and find a job for him that he is willing to do!
Yang Jing naturally remembered that his uncle had been engaged in domestic trade of cotton textiles for two or three years 20 years ago, and he did quite well at that time. Of course, when his uncle was making veils and fabrics, it happened to be the time when the domestic cotton textile industry was at its peak, so he made a lot of money. It was only later that the market was not good, so his uncle gave up this business. Now if he wanted his uncle to change his career and expand it quickly, then he should be able to accept the foreign trade of textiles again.
In fact, in this era, doing foreign trade is still very good. As long as you can ensure sufficient high-quality supply, then as long as there are foreign trade orders, you can almost just sit and wait to collect the money, and the profit is not small.
The most difficult thing about doing foreign trade is getting orders, but Yang Jing doesn't have to worry about this.
The last time he traveled back to 1987 to hype up the US stock market crash, after making a huge profit, Yang Jing instructed Henry Williams and David Anderson to hold high the name of Vanguard Fund and began to buy up stocks of some European and American companies, including Xinxin IT Company and stocks of some old companies.
Of course, the stocks of the twenty-seven companies that Yang Jing had originally decided on were what Henry and David had to acquire, but in addition to these twenty-seven companies, Yang Jing also selected some companies that had a promising future and were related to the people's livelihood in the United States.
In the clothing industry, Yang Jing chose two targets, one is Nike and the other is Hanes.
In the new century, Nike is almost invincible in the sporting goods industry, but in the 1980s, Nike was still far from it, so acquiring Nike shares at this time was undoubtedly the most appropriate.
As for Hanes, it is an old brand in the United States. Although its history is not as long as that of Levis and other brands, after entering the new century, Hanes has become the undisputed largest clothing manufacturer in the United States, and the Hanes brand is also the largest clothing brand in the United States.
