Although Ye Beiping wasn't entirely at ease with Tang Xiaolong, he could still afford to lose money on a thousand pairs of leather shoes.
Sometimes, you can't stick to the old ways in business; you have to be bold.
After all, there was a big boss who once said that having guts is worse than being a graduate of Tsinghua or Peking University.
Especially now that the business hasn't developed yet, if you're not bold enough and act timidly, how can you quickly expand your business empire later?
This simple and easy-to-learn model, once copied and learned by anyone with a modicum of intelligence, might just turn around and compete for the market.
So Ye Beiping smiled easily and said, "Brother Jiang Hai, if we want to grow bigger and stronger, we can't be timid and hesitant; we must forge ahead. We can afford to lose a thousand pairs of leather shoes, but if you think about it another way, the benefits that Tang Xiaolong brings us if he succeeds will be immeasurable."
After listening to Ye Beiping's words, Jiang Hai pondered for a while and nodded.
"Beiping, I understand now if you put it that way."
Jiang Hai knew about ambition from the very first day he met Ye Beiping.
Having ambition naturally requires boldness, a lesson he learned in Wencheng. If Ye Beiping hadn't been bold, he wouldn't have gone to the state-owned factory to get something for nothing.
Seeing that Jiang Hai understood, Ye Beiping nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Jiang Hai, you must remember that we have a long road ahead of us. Taking this opportunity now is to lay the foundation for the future. Let him grow wildly within the range of blows we can accept."
"Of course, we don't just send goods to any random person. We need to understand the person. If they really have potential, we can bet on them. As long as the bet won't bankrupt us, we can give it a try."
He was afraid that Jiang Hai would become too bold after listening to his words. They couldn't afford to take it now, after all, the time they had been in the process of settling down was still too short. Being able to handle several thousand pairs of leather shoes was already quite good.
"Mhm." Jiang Hai nodded knowingly, then pursed his lips as he thought of Jiang He's situation and said, "I wonder how things are going over there. I've been in the upper city for several days now, and I didn't bring much cargo, but no one has come to pick it up. I'm so worried."
No matter what, Jiang He is his younger brother.
Now that Tang Xiaolong has started to make moves, his younger brother hasn't made a single sound, which makes Jiang Hai, the older brother, somewhat worried.
They were afraid that Jiang He would be outshone by Tang Xiaolong.
Seeing Jiang Hai's expression, Ye Beiping curled his lips. The goal had been achieved: developing a downline. The special approval for Tang Xiaolong and Jiang He to be in charge of two districts was to create a competitive relationship. Once this relationship was established, he could stay at home comfortably with his wife during her pregnancy and count his money while lying down.
Barring any major unforeseen circumstances, he almost never needs to intervene.
Ye Beiping naturally tried to comfort Jiang Hai in response to his attitude: "Brother Jiang Hai, how about I give you a day off these next couple of days so you can go and find out what's going on with Jiang He?"
"Give him a push. Once he gets things started, you should go to Wencheng to resolve the supply issue."
"Hmm, if there's still no movement from Jianghe in the next couple of days, I'll go check it out," Jiang Hai replied, frowning.
Knock knock knock!
Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Beiping was about to get up when Aunt Li from the kitchen rushed to the door even faster: "Who is it?"
Seeing this, Ye Beiping felt that Aunt Li was quite vigilant. If everyone else was out, and only Su Xinyi and Aunt Li, the nanny, were home, it was indeed unwise to open the door to strangers.
In this day and age, doing business can easily offend people.
"I am Tang Xiaolong." Tang Xiaolong's voice rang out from outside the door.
This caused Ye Beiping and Jiang Hai to exchange a glance, surprised that Tang Xiaolong would come to their door at this time.
Aunt Li looked at Ye Beiping questioningly, and the latter nodded slightly.
Only then did they open the door to let Tang Xiaolong in.
As soon as he entered, he saw Aunt Li and quickly asked, "Is Brother Beiping home?"
It has to be said that Tang Xiaolong's words have become sweeter after just a few days apart; he's even started calling him "brother."
Before Aunt Li could speak, Ye Beiping raised his hand and said, "I'm here."
Seeing Ye Beiping there, Tang Xiaolong immediately smiled and quickly walked into the living room. He complained to Jiang Hai, "Brother Jiang Hai, what's wrong with you? My men went to the warehouse to get the goods, but they said you weren't there, so they couldn't get the goods."
"What?" Jiang Hai's furrowed brows instantly turned to shock: "Didn't you just take a thousand pairs of leather shoes? It's only been less than a day, why are you taking more?"
As someone who had personally sold goods at a stall, Jiang Hai absolutely did not believe that Tang Xiaolong had already sold out of the goods.
Five or six of them went out, and the highest they could sell in a day was seven hundred pairs.
Tang Xiaolong sold out a thousand pairs of leather shoes in less than a day?
"Yeah, several of my guys are urging me for more stock, and they've started swapping goods among themselves." Tang Xiaolong wiped the sweat from his forehead, complaining while also trying to curry favor with Ye Beiping: "Brother Beiping, your advertising slogan is amazing! I've been arranging for about thirty guys to set up stalls in ten different locations these past few days. I was just about to go to my mom's shop for lunch when someone came to tell me that one of the stalls was sold out."
"I was wondering if it was just good luck, so I asked them to send goods from other places first. Unexpectedly, in less than two hours, seven or eight of the ten stalls were sold out."
When the news of the goods being sold out spread, Tang Xiaolong's face beamed with a happy smile. He didn't forget to take out some money from his backpack and put it on the table: "Brother Beiping, since you're here, I'll pay you back for the previous thousand pairs of leather shoes first."
