Chapter 219 The Couple's Conspiracy
For several days, Zhao Yi went to the mall and came back at night to learn Cantonese from Zhang Yuanzhi. Although he learned it a little haltingly, at least he could understand what others were saying.
Su Hong has already finalized the projects to cooperate with everyone, including Shengtian Hotel, parts processing plant, fabric factory, and port operation.
"What's up, Sister Hong?"
In a meeting room, Zhang Yuanzhi was about to leave when Su Hong stopped him.
"How are Zhang Jing and the others doing recently? I've been busy discussing the project and haven't had time to pay attention to them. I hope you haven't neglected them."
Su Hong asked.
After this project is completed, Su Hong will have to go to Hong Kong with Hong Kong businessmen to discuss the introduction of other projects. She really has no time to entertain Zhang Jing now.
"No."
Zhang Yuanzhi nodded and replied.
Now he has a share in so many projects. Even if he doesn't become a wealthy man, at least he will be no less than those Hong Kong businessmen in the future. This is all brought by the person in front of him. Naturally, he will not take Su Hong's instructions lightly.
"Okay, I'll leave the construction of this site to you, Yuanzhi. We're going to Xiangjiang and Shanghai to plan some projects next."
After Su Hong finished speaking, she stood up, picked up her bag, left in a hurry, and followed the group to Hong Kong.
At this time, Zhao Yi was chatting with some fish vendors. Although he was not very fluent in Cantonese, the other party could more or less understand what Zhao Yi was saying.
"Boss, why are you trying so hard to learn the local dialect? We won't be here often in the future."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi in confusion and said.
"Don't you see the business opportunity yet?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and smiled.
"What business opportunity?"
Zhang Jing was completely confused and had no idea what Zhao Yi meant. She had been shopping these past two days and had only seen beautiful clothes. She bought a set for everyone in her family, but still felt it was not enough.
Not only are these clothes cheap, but they also don't require cloth coupons. Zhang Jing hates that this place is so far away from other regions. If it were closer, she would make purchases at least twice a day.
"Let's take the tape recorder for example. The price of one is 130 yuan. You are familiar with the department store. One of these tape recorders costs at least 235 yuan. We can make a profit of 105 yuan for each one shipped back to the region.
Coupled with the advantage of not requiring tickets, such products are in short supply. ”
Zhao Yi smiled.
At that time, the mainland had not yet started to produce cheap tape recorders. When they started to be sold cheaply, the scene was comparable to the Chinese New Year. Many workers lined up in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the department store in the middle of the night to buy them.
A tape recorder only cost 130 yuan at that time. Although the price was still several months' salary, it was 100 yuan less than the imported one, so I was as happy as if I had picked up an extra 100 yuan.
However, such good things would not happen until two years later, which was around the second half of 1982. I still had two and a half years. I divided some into different regions and some into provincial capitals. I could easily sell twenty units every month.
Places like Shanyang County, which is even more so than Chengdu, can sell two units every month. With so many workers in the area, the consumption level is not comparable to that of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
If the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone wants to surpass the rest of the country, it will take at least another three years of development.
"But how do we transport it? The plane can't take so much luggage."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi in confusion.
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhang Jing without saying anything.
Currently, the airfare from Province G to the region is 64 yuan one way, and the train ticket is nine yuan. Zhao Yi doesn't know why Zhang Jing wants to take a plane. Could it be that she always takes a plane when going to Kyoto and forgot there is a train?
The price of 64 yuan per trip may not sound expensive, but if you consider that most workers only make 36 yuan a month, you will understand that one flight is equivalent to two months' salary.
Nowadays, consignment can still be processed on trains, but a purchasing letter of introduction is required. The letter of introduction that Zhao Yi provided this time was from a purchasing agent at a department store.
"Are you still going to buy this shrimp?"
A fisherman looked at Zhao Yi and asked, Zhao Yi would come to chat with them every day, but in the end he would buy two or three pounds of fish or shrimps. They didn't think Zhao Yi was stingy, as people nowadays are used to being frugal.
In fact, Zhao Yi just wanted to practice speaking. If he didn't talk to the locals and didn't have the courage to try, no matter how long he studied, it would be just a formality.
"Buy three pounds."
Zhao Yi smiled.
Every time you buy fish and shrimp, the chef at the hotel will help cook them. You just need to pay 20 cents as processing fee.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing are not picky eaters. Although the tastes of the two places are very different, fresh sea fish and shrimps taste pretty good. The food here is mainly light, and most dishes only require a slice of ginger and a handful of chopped green onions.
After buying the shrimps, Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing rushed back to the guesthouse.
"Boss, you haven't told us yet how we are going to get back. I don't think Su Hong will go back to the region with us."
"If you're in a hurry, you can take a plane back. I'll take the train back. It'll only take two days, but I can save dozens of dollars."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing helplessly.
This girl is completely used to living with Su Hong. She always takes a plane or a car when she goes out. Has she forgotten that the common means of transportation nowadays are either horse-drawn carriages or tractors?
"Yes, yes, we can still buy sleeper berths to go back."
Zhang Jing smiled.
Zhang Jing's work permit and letter of introduction were for research purposes, so naturally she could buy a sleeper berth to return home. Of course, Zhao Yi could buy one too, provided there were vacant seats, but hard seats were still available.
After returning to the guesthouse, Zhao Yi went to the kitchen and handed the things he had just bought to the chef.
As for Zhang Yuanzhi, he is very busy now and only has time to return to the guesthouse at eight o'clock every day to teach Zhao Yi Cantonese.
"Boss, can we go shopping without Zhang Yuanzhi?"
Zhang Jing thought for a moment and then looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"We can only do these things quietly. We don't have any capital or connections. We are not as powerful as Zhang Yuanzhi and his men. If we let others know everything, we will be squeezed out of our space if they are even slightly interested in us."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and said in a low voice.
Zhang Yuanzhi can drive a car now.
You have to know that nowadays a car, even a second-hand one, costs tens of thousands of yuan. Zhao Yi's wealth is totally incomparable with others. The fact that Zhang Yuanzhi can hang out with Su Hong is a power that Zhao Yi cannot compare to.
So things like this can just be developed secretly on your own.
If someone who is making a big fuss wants to take a share in the company, would you give it to them or not? Then they will get a share of the profits, and if you don't give it to them, how will you get along with them in the future?
"Yes, let's do it quietly."
Zhang Jing suddenly smiled and said in a low voice.
In fact, whether Zhao Yi said it or not, Zhang Yuanzhi already knew what Zhao Yi was thinking. During those conversations in the market, even if Zhao Yi did not buy at that time, Zhang Yuanzhi already knew what Zhao Yi was thinking. However, such profits were not attractive to Zhang Yuanzhi.
He also explained these things to Su Hong. Su Hong asked Zhang Yuanzhi to keep an eye on it and not to worry about any problems as long as Zhao Yi was not in the special zone.
