Lu Mo found He Weishao, who spends most of the year in the south and often goes to Hong Kong, so he knows the situation there very well.
"Finmei Pharmaceutical Company? Why are you asking about the Ye family?"
He Weishao found it very strange that Lu Mo had stopped paying attention to business matters since joining the army, which was a real pity.
When it comes to doing business, He Weishao would admit defeat.
Back then, he and Lu Mo started from scratch, with no funds or connections. Fortunately, Lu Mo was good at scheming, selling God of Wealth gifts, calendars, couplets... all small businesses with low initial investment and low profit.
But because their customers were mostly in rural areas, the base was large, so they naturally earned a lot, and within two years they had saved enough start-up capital.
Then Lu Mo took him to the south and got a batch of electronic watches. The wholesale price was only a few yuan, but they could be sold for tens of yuan back in Pingjiang, and the demand still couldn't meet the supply.
After selling electronic watches for more than half a year, more and more people followed suit, so Lu Mo set his sights on big-ticket items like rice cookers, electric fans, and color TVs, investing all the money they had earned into them.
At the time, He Weishao was actually a little worried, fearing that all the money he had worked so hard to earn would go down the drain and he would be back to square one.
But Lu Mo was very bold and confident, saying that he was sure he could break even.
As Lu Mo had predicted, the citizens of Pingjiang at that time were in a distorted consumption pattern.
Citizens have money, but nowhere to buy it. Many people have saved up money to buy a color TV, but they can't get a color TV ticket no matter how much they beg and plead.
Lu Mo and the color TV he brought from the south were like a cure for terminal illnesses; for a time, the threshold of his house was almost worn down by people coming and going.
He Weishao will never forget the scene of citizens flocking to his house to buy color TVs during that period.
As if money were free, everyone came to their door with money, just wanting a color TV.
However, after only a little over a year, a large number of people followed suit, so Lu Mo decisively stopped and decided to open a trading company, which was actually just dealing in goods between the north and south.
Because the road to the south had been opened up, the trading company was doing quite well. However, not long after the company was opened, Lu Mo went to the army.
From then on, Lu Mo never interfered in the company's business again, only taking a share of the profits.
He Weishao really felt it was a pity.
If Lu Mo were still working with him, their trading company would definitely be much larger than it is now.
He Weishao is self-aware; he's only good at sales, not managing a company. The company's current management rules were established before Lu Mo went to the army and are still in use.
"Tell me about the Ye family first," Lu Mo said in a deep voice.
He Weishao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I don't know the specifics. The Ye family's business in Hong Kong isn't very big, at most it's just average. But I know that the Ye family patriarch is from Pingjiang, and he's the vice president of the Pingjiang Hometown Association in Hong Kong. What's his name again..."
He Weishao thought for a long time but couldn't remember. He had just talked about this old man Ye with a client not long ago!
"My memory has been getting worse lately. What was that old man's name again... Oh right, I remember now. Their company name, Fenmei, is a combination of one character from each of the names of Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye."
He Weishao slapped his thigh, finally remembering that this was exactly what he had been discussing with his client a few days ago.
He even joked at the time that the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ye, had a very good relationship and were a model couple!
Lu Mo frowned and asked, "Go and find out again what Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye's names are!"
Neither Ye Fen nor Ye Mei sounds like the name of Old Master Ye. Old Master Ye should have had two names, with Fen and Mei being one of them.
