Those who are good at persuasion are often masters of the art of language.
Their grand plans are often built on a certain level of achievement.
Lao Mou also owns his own company, which is quite large, and he is in charge of several major projects.
As a partner, Lao Li actually spends most of his time traveling for business, both domestically and internationally.
He had a unique perspective and a keen eye for things; it was he who suggested that he partner with Lao Mou to develop foreign trade in the Far East.
Old Li listened attentively to Xing Baohua's ramblings at the drinking party. After all, Xing Baohua was very famous and wealthy.
But when I came back and lay down to sober up, I was still thinking about tiling.
But something just feels off, though I can't quite put my finger on it.
After hearing Lao Mou's question, I finally understood that it was because President Xing thought their capital was too small and didn't want to include them. If they had four or five billion yuan, why would they want to lay tiles?
Why not do something else?
So I analyzed this matter with Lao Mou. The first problem is that too much capital is tied up. The country is currently engaged in economic construction and is short of money. It is impossible to spend money on useless things. Wouldn't it be better to use this money to build roads?
No matter how much Lao Li analyzed it for him, Lao Mou was like he was under Xing Baohua's spell. Once he lay down, all he could think about was tiling.
Turning the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into a land of plenty is just something he made up on the spot. He set a high goal, got people to follow it, and then tried to make a quick buck.
Moreover, he also drew inspiration from some bizarre things abroad.
Old Mou had also been to Hong Kong for research. While waiting for his flight, he read some free magazines at the airport. Wow, there were so many bizarre things about foreign countries that it broadened his horizons.
There's a woman in some bullfighting country who claims the sun as hers and demands a certain amount of money from everyone who sunbathes.
They even took it to court and won the case. Who did they sue? The United Nations.
And then there's that land being sold on the moon. One or two hundred dollars per acre, and surprisingly, a lot of people are buying it. The world is full of wonders.
Therefore, making a plan may seem impossible, but it can make people feel that it is possible.
The Americans have already landed on the moon, is it too much to sell land on the moon?
It's not unreasonable. As long as you can get up there, and the land you bought happens to be requisitioned, you might make a profit. Otherwise, it might take several lifetimes to break even.
Old Mou wouldn't dare to even consider the moon. But our country has a vast area, with sparsely populated and expansive regions.
So he set his sights on the no-man's-land and that plateau.
Does anyone believe it? Absolutely. Even Xing Baohua agreed and added two suggestions.
They engage in animal husbandry and farming.
According to Xing Baohua's indirect analysis, the later investment far exceeded the cost of blasting the opening.
He only calculated the cost of blasting the opening, not the cost of developing the planting area.
And those damn transportation routes—these should all be national projects, but in Xing Baohua's mouth, it seems like he's the one who built them.
The investment is too large; it will become increasingly unmanageable as time goes on!
It would be better to follow Xing Baohua and lay tiles. Look at him, he talks about world-class projects all the time. Who can compare?
"Old Li, I'd like to set up a company to repair and build ancient buildings, and register it as a Class A company. That way, when we're laying tiles, we can also repair the Great Wall."
Suddenly, Lao Mou felt that his decision was very good. He remembered that there were hundreds of kilometers of the Great Wall that were in a state of disrepair. If they were repaired, how much money could be made!
"Old Mou, stop, don't think too much, let's take a look first."
“What are you looking at? This is an opportunity. They’re giving you this chance because they’re telling you. You can’t just wait, look, or give up. You have to seize the opportunity. You stay here and talk to the people in charge of their transport plane business. Try to lower the transport fees. I’ll go back tomorrow and ask about registering the ancient architecture company.”
Old Li sat up in bed, looked at Old Mou, and said seriously, "You're really going to do it? Where are you going to get so much money? We only have a little over a million in cash on hand! This is the deposit for the goods, you can't touch it."
"Don't worry, one thing at a time. I won't touch the cash. I've set up a special project team. Let's meet again with Mr. Xing tomorrow at noon. I forgot to take pictures today, so go to a photo studio and hire a photographer to take a few more during lunch."
With photos of him having dinner and chatting happily with Xing Baohua, how could he not catch a fish?
As for whether anyone will believe the project, they don't even need to look at who the initiator is.
This project has two major advantages: first, it's a national-level project; second, it addresses the payment issue with bonds!
There's nothing better than bonds. The rice group uses mats to redeem bonds, which is essentially the same as buying them with cash, and even if you have cash, you might not be able to buy bonds.
Actually, there was another one that used the term "going public," but he was drunk and forgot whether he meant going public with the tile-laying project or the tile factory. Anyway, never mind.
As long as rice is used as collateral, bonds are used as collateral.
That will work.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lao Mou, Lao Li went to bed early. As long as it didn't interfere with his foreign trade business, he was fine.
Old Mou invited Xing Baohua to lunch, saying he had urgent business to attend to in the afternoon. So, Xing Baohua gave this big shot face and came over.
During the meal, no one mentioned yesterday's project, as if they had drunk too much and blacked out yesterday, and nothing had happened.
During meals and casual conversations, we share what we've seen and heard. We laugh it off and move on.
Lao Mou has returned to Chongqing.
This is where he made his fortune, and it's also his hometown. Although he moved the company headquarters to the capital last year, he still has a strong foundation here, and many people who trust him are here.
With Xing's plan and the surrounding details he personally added, there was no PowerPoint presentation, just a few pages of paper.
This is the time to rely on connections.
Old Mou was quite adventurous back then, having ventured into foreign trade and home appliances. Although he ended up with a huge stockpile of refrigerators and lost money, he eventually sold bamboo and rattan woven products from his hometown.
