Master Lu's memory was a little vague. He had not seen this old friend for more than ten years. During this period, they exchanged letters several times, inviting him to come to Guizhou Province, but unfortunately the old friend thought it was too far and troublesome and did not leave.
Gu Feihan nodded. If the old master was really in Pingtai County, he would not be far away. He was right next to Lingzheng County.
Isn't it just far away in the sky and right in front of you?
But this place name sounds so familiar, as if someone has mentioned it recently.
Gu Feihan begged Master Lu to introduce him.
"To get him to come out of retirement, you have to be sincere. This old guy has a very stubborn temper, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered so much. I'll write a letter for you to take with you, you can give it a try."
Master Lu was not sure whether the bad-tempered old Wu would go back to his old business after so many years.
"I'll give it a try. Just like you said, I'll show my sincerity. If it doesn't work, I still have you to back me up." Gu Feihan spoke earnestly.
He left a gift for Master Lu and started his return journey with the letter.
After many twists and turns, Gu Feihan returned home exhausted, but unfortunately Su Xiaoli was not there, as she had just arrived in Zhejiang Province.
We need to prepare sufficient supplies before the Christmas event.
Director Huang from Shanghai contacted He Aiqing again. When he heard that Su Xiaoli was coming to Wuxiao, he quickly booked a ticket and followed her to Zhejiang Province.
At this moment, the three of them were sitting in the restaurant, staring at each other.
He Aiqing and Su Xiaoli waited for Director Huang to speak first.
Director Huang looked a little embarrassed...he didn't know where to start.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
Director Huang had never been so embarrassed before. Two good distributors were driven away by Wu Shan and her brother. Because of his wife's nonsense, the factory was now almost in a semi-shutdown state.
After hesitating for a long time, Director Huang, with a blushing face, finally explained his purpose.
"I'm here to apologize to you two. My wife is just that kind of person. Please don't take it personally. Let's get this one thing together. Regarding the cooperation..."
He Aiqing protected her cub very closely and did not let Su Xiaoli take the lead.
She spoke first: "Director Huang, I am not in a position to ask about the right and wrong of your family affairs. We just want to ask whether there is security guarantee for cooperation. No one wants to pay for the goods only to have them run away by someone unrelated and thus unable to ship the goods."
The two men looked meaningfully at Director Huang, who was sweating.
Director Huang tried his best to appear calm, wiped his sweat and rubbed his aching head.
"Absolutely not. I came here prepared this time. The equity description of the factory has been written. Wu Shan has nothing to do with it. But you two can participate in the shares if the annual order volume reaches a certain amount."
It can be said that Director Huang did show great sincerity.
Su Xiaoli did not refute, but she did not agree either.
It is too risky to be involved in a "husband-and-wife shop" business.
All risks, if not properly addressed, will eventually translate into legal liabilities.
It’s not that there aren’t successful “husband-and-wife shops”, but they are either “two swords joining forces” or “one singing and the other following”, or at worst “the prince guarding the princess”, but what about the one in front of me?
One builds the platform, the other dismantles the tower.
She had witnessed the conflict between the couple with her own eyes. What's more, the equity statement written by Director Huang was not signed by Wu Shan, so there were many hidden risks.
In the social and financial news of my previous life, when founding shareholders divorced and divided up a few hundred million, that was considered a small amount.
The party that does not participate in the management does not have the necessary company information, does not understand management, and does not understand the company's financial situation. If it encounters someone with ulterior motives and instigates it, the company is very likely to suffer large financial losses.
Normal couples quarrel and fight when they want, which at most affects the neighbors' rest. But if they are entrepreneurial couples, they will use the company as a battlefield, and the confrontation will be extremely fierce. If they fight, the company may not be able to operate at all.
Su Xiaoli has heard of an unofficial statistic that every year, the majority of reports of entrepreneurs suspected of economic crimes come from their spouses and family members.
In the neighboring province of Shandong, there was a boss who made his fortune by founding a technical school. He and his wife started a business together, but later they fought with each other and went to court, resulting in both of them suffering losses.
They really love and kill each other.
Gu Fei also holds shares in the medical device business, but he does not participate in the management at all and only enjoys the right to dividends. If by any chance, the two of them have to break up, Su Xiaoli will cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible without considering the sunk costs and not bet on the company.
Having said that, starting a business is not easy, and there is never a 100% suitable environment and conditions. We should not limit ourselves and hesitate to move forward.
Su Xiaoli cannot change the overall environment, nor does she want to interfere in Director Huang's family affairs.
The risk of participating in the investment is too great, she will definitely not do it.
There is no need to worry about regional agents for the time being.
But if she wanted to import some goods...Su Xiaoli calculated the funds on hand and the amount of cosmetics she needed.
Before going to the Guangzhou Beauty Expo to find a substitute, it is not a bad idea to buy some goods. After all, once the Christmas activities start and the beauty shops open, it is very likely that they will be sold out on site.
"Director Huang, there's no need for you to participate in the investment. We can talk about the regional agency later. Right now I will order a maximum of 700 bottles." Su Xiaoli said.
Director Huang's eyes lit up. Are they still willing to give him a chance? 700 bottles is not a lot, but it can ensure that the production line can run for another two weeks.
"But I have a condition. I can only give you 30% of the order amount, and then 40% after the goods arrive. I will give you the final 30% after all the goods are sold and before the next order."
Not a word of nonsense.
This order quantity and advance payment can not only maintain the turnover of the cosmetics factory, but she also doesn't have to worry so much about the safety of funds. If she really has to make a loss, she can afford it.
30% of the order payment, in case something goes wrong with Director Huang, Su Xiaoli will not suffer any serious consequences and can just stop the loss in time.
The core issue is delivery. As long as the goods are delivered to you, you don’t have to worry about not making money.
Su Xiaoli didn't want to give in. She was not afraid of being criticized for being a ruthless businessman. The most important thing was to ensure the safety of funds and goods.
Director Huang didn't react, "Huh?"
Su Xiaoli said succinctly, "Agree to this condition. The delivery date must be before the 10th of this month. We can sign the contract and pay the money now."
"This..." Director Huang had a headache.
Only 30% advance payment, that’s too much!
I thought she was a soft-hearted girl, but why is she so cruel when it comes to business!
Su Xiaoli had a blank expression on her face and a calm gaze, with only one signal in her eyes: "Do you want love?"
Director Huang shrank his neck and swallowed the rest of his words.
Okay.
30% is 30%, it is better than nothing.
We have orders, so let’s get the production line up and running first.
He Aiqing's expression also relaxed. Xiaoli A'mei's trick was good.
"Since Xiaoli A'mei is willing to trust you again, I will also show my sincerity. I will order 300 bottles, which should be enough for you to solve the problem at hand. Don't look at me, our conditions are the same, and I won't give in a cent."
