Chapter 554
Zhu Suisui handed the matter of porcelain over to Hai Chenyan.
Originally I had to consider the import and export issues, but with the help of the Ye family, it became a lot easier.
Hai Chenyan also knew the seriousness of the matter. After confirming the kiln factory, he invested in it. He hasn't decided on the price yet, but Hai Chenyan and Zhu Suisui have talked about it. The two of them think that they should exchange the cultural relics in the manor first. Naturally, the first batch of fired ones will be exchanged.
Zhu Suisui was quite relieved to let Hai Chenyan deal with that side and also find out the truth of that year.
As for myself.
Zhu Suisui wrote two papers in seclusion, and chatted with Qi Wenkang about jade mining. Seeing that Zhu Suisui was interested in this, Qi Wenkang didn't care much about these things at first, but since he took Zhu Suisui in, he not only became the director, but also moved their original inconvenient housing to other family courtyards, and allocated them a small courtyard on the first floor.
For Qi Wenkang, even if he didn't care about it before, he can still insist on it now that he is older, but what about his wife?
Sister Qi has been with Qi Wenkang for so many years, but because of Qi Wenkang's temper and personality, she has never had a good life. Now she can finally live a good life.
He saw that his wife smiled more often and seemed younger, and some of his thoughts naturally changed. To him, Zhu Suisui was different from his previous apprentices. She was as firm as himself in the general direction, but more flexible than himself in some details.
Now that Zhu Suisui is interested in jade, Qi Wenkang recalled what he had talked about with his friends before and some inside information he knew, and said after careful consideration.
"It seems that the Friendship Store is looking to sell a counter, which happens to be a jewelry counter."
That's good news.
If you are not an ordinary person, you really can't know.
If Zhu Suisui relied on herself, by the time she knew about it, others would have already got it.
It's not her turn yet.
Counters like these are basically targeted by many people as soon as they become vacant. Those with connections use their connections, and those with abilities use their abilities. The last thing lacking in Beijing is connections, so if you want to stand out, you have to take advantage of the time difference.
When Zhu Suisui heard Qi Wenkang talking to him about this, he asked, "Teacher, is this news accurate?"
"I overheard it when I was having dinner with my superiors. You know I hate this kind of occasion the most, but now it seems that I have to go to such occasions more often. You also know that the counters of the Friendship Store cannot be taken down and sold under normal circumstances." Qi Wenkang replied.
Zhu Suisui naturally knew.
After all, those who can go to Friendship Stores now are either capable people in the country or foreign friends. This is also good. Zhu Suisui's original idea was to obtain the qualification to mine jade first, and then follow Lu Taiping's method, get a business license, and open a jewelry store first.
However, in this way, the customer group cannot be accurately positioned.
Jewelry is something that rich people play with. If it can be found in a friendship store, the standard will go up directly.
It's just the right time to increase your visibility.
Jade is different from antiques. The latter depends on the eye and historical value, while the former actually relies on marketing. If the brand can be made well-known, more people will naturally follow it in the future.
This opportunity is rare nowadays.
Zhu Suisui wants to move around.
Obviously, Qi Wenkang could only bring news, and he couldn't guarantee his help. However, he said, "I will try my best to use my connections. As long as the contract can be signed, it won't be a big problem."
The sooner the better.
The reason why the porcelain business was so successful was because of the batch of cultural relics from abroad and the creation of foreign acquaintances. The country strongly supported it, so in less than a month, all the procedures were completed and the location was selected. Zhu Suisui followed Hai Chenyan to see the specific address and was very satisfied with everything.
The main business model is to cooperate with the government. The factory and address are owned by the government. All you have to do is pay the rent, and the price is very low.
This is certainly not taking advantage of the country.
Both sides acquiesced.
The cultural relics that Hai Chenyan brought back from outside were donated to the country free of charge, and the rest of the profits were collected by himself, which can be regarded as a relatively new way.
It can be considered as opening a special channel.
Zhu Suisui and Hai Chenyan calculated that if they could get the order, the profit after deducting the cost would be 70%, which is a very exaggerated number.
If we expand this and make it into a high-end porcelain brand.
By then, even if foreign trade is fully developed and the profit can reach 100,000 US dollars, the profit will probably be higher. In this regard, Zhu Suisui and Hai Chenyan will share the profit equally.
Hai Chenyan is in charge of technical matters, while Zhu Suisui is in charge of personal connections.
Of course, in this regard, if you want to cooperate with the Ye family, you will need to make concessions.
Zhu Suisui's assets now are not small. The dividends from his family, Zhu Lesheng's business in Shenzhen, Zhu Lechen's clothing store, and the family's catering business alone add up to about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.
But she also invested a lot in the early stage.
Zhu Suisui is in control of the general direction.
In addition to the orchard, Zhu Suisui earns more than 100,000 yuan a year without doing anything.
All the money was kept in a passbook, and Zhu Suisui planned to invest it all in the jewelry business.
But before that, Zhu Suisui had to think of how to get this counter.
Zhu Suisui went to the Lu family.
Friendship Store belongs to the Trade Department. Since we want to rent a counter, it would be a good idea to find the connections in the Trade Department. But we have to ask the Lu family for this matter.
Mr. Lu knew what Zhu Suisui was thinking, but he did not refuse at all. Ever since Zhu Suisui married into the Lu family, she had never made any requests to her family. They didn't feel like a family at all, it was too strange.
If a family is doing well, they should help each other, and this is the only way for things to get better and better.
Besides, this is not a difficult thing to do.
Mr. Lu made a phone call and discussed this matter with Lu Taidong from the fifth room.
Lu Taidong had an impression of it. "Father, are you talking about the counter in the Friendship Store? I heard that the Ministry of Trade is planning to rent it out, but this is still internal information and has not been spread out. Is it Sui Sui who is interested in this counter?"
Mr. Lu responded and said, "As her uncle, please help introduce her. Sui Sui's ability is obvious to all."
Speaking of this.
Lu Taidong was a little hesitant.
Seeing him hesitating, Mr. Lu frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Lu Taidong sighed, "What a coincidence, father. Taiping just called me. He also got the news that the Ministry of Trade wants to rent out a counter and wants me to help."
He did not agree immediately.
Originally, this was not a big deal, but Master Lu had warned beforehand not to help Lu Taiping. Lu Taidong was somewhat concerned about the friendship between the brothers, and discussed with his wife whether he should help. After all, Lu Taiping's surname was Lu, and he was the most favored one in the Lu family. Could he really not recognize him?
But I didn't expect that Mr. Lu would call me.
Isn't this a family accident?
When he heard that it was Lu Taiping, Old Master Lu sneered, "What did I tell you before? Did you turn a deaf ear to me? You are harming him by helping him. He thinks his current achievements have nothing to do with the Lu family. If that's the case, then don't use the Lu family's connections. Do you still need me to teach you how to do this?"
Lu Taidong immediately said, "Father, I know what's going on."
He was hesitant before, but now that Mr. Lu has said so, he naturally won't help anymore.
If I were to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, that would be the greatest harm to the Lu family.
After hanging up the phone.
His wife Xiao Yingzhi listened to the general situation and sighed, "I told you not to help a long time ago. Now, you have upset father. You shouldn't have told him that I came to you for help. He insisted on being with Sui Sui's cousin. This matter has a great impact on the reputation of our Lu family. I think he should be punished."
