Chapter 266 I'm going to compete with you
Yangcheng Railway Station.
Li Ye took his two brothers Wang Jianqiang and Li Dayong off the train, and together with Hao Jian and several veterans, they followed the crowd out of the station.
Li Dayong went south for the first time. He looked around and said, "Brother, Yangcheng is not much hotter than our Dongshan. Why do they always say it's like a furnace?"
Li Ye explained: "Yangcheng is not the hottest place, but it is hot for too long. We are here in the summer and cannot feel it.
Even if you come here in spring or autumn, it is still hot. So when northerners describe the weather in Guangzhou, they can’t think of any suitable word except “hot”.
"That's true. I heard from Brother Peng and Qiangzi that people here only wear long sleeves in the winter. People in Guangzhou don't even know what a cotton-padded jacket or trousers look like."
"They definitely know, they just haven't worn it, hehe~"
The group chatted and laughed as they walked out of the train station. Mu Weimin came outside with two cars to pick them up.
Li Ye asked Li Dayong and Wang Jianqiang to go to Pengcheng first, while he and Hao Jian went to a restaurant in the center of Yangcheng.
Hao Jian said: "Guo Donglun has already said that if you come to Yangcheng, he must treat you back once. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be holding back his anger."
"He was holding back his drink!" Li Ye laughed, "Last time I invited him to drink in Beijing, he almost got drunk by me. Men don't give in easily, so he must get back at me."
"Then you have to be careful today. He might drink Acanthopanax striata. I'm really not used to that stuff, so I can't help you."
"Do I need your help with drinking?"
Li Ye smiled gently, full of confidence.
Since he came into this world, he has never met a rival when it comes to drinking!
Guo Donglun really invited Li Ye to drink Wujia Pi wine, but he didn't seem to have any intention of competing with Li Ye in drinking again.
"After we parted in Beijing last time, I thought a lot and felt that some of what you said was right and some was wrong, but one thing is right: doing practical things is always better than wasting time. This glass of wine expresses my gratitude."
Guo Donglun was unable to move, so he asked his nanny Xiao Liang to pour some wine for Li Ye and toasted Li Ye.
Then he said to Li Ye: "I am now working at Yangcheng Garment Company. The next step is to become your competitor. If you have any needs, please tell me as soon as possible."
Li Ye smiled and asked, "When is your next step? It won't be tomorrow, right?"
Guo Donglun chuckled, "Next year! I need some time to study, and I also need to find some suitable people. Besides, if I suddenly pulled out the ladder, I would be sorry for you as a friend, right?"
"Okay, I'll remember you as my friend," Li Ye said with a smile, "I really have a need right now, let's see if you can help me."
Guo Donglun nodded: "Just say it."
Li Ye said: "In the spring, someone went to the Trademark Office to plagiarize and register the Fenghua brand trademark. If I hadn't registered it in advance, that person would have succeeded."
Guo Donglun raised his eyebrows: "You suspect it's me?"
"It definitely won't be you," Li Ye waved his hand and said, "If someone like you who comes from a military background would do something like that, then who else can we trust?
It was someone else. The contact number that person left was Yangcheng Foreign Trade. Can you help me check it out?"
Li Ye handed Guo Donglun a note and a trademark registration application form.
After Guo Donglun took it, he looked at Li Ye and asked, "What do you want to do after you find out?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "I will definitely not do anything illegal. I just hope to spread her story throughout the foreign trade system. If you can help, please help. If you can't, I will do it myself."
"Oh, you are going to ruin her future."
Guo Donglun gave the note and the application form to the nanny Xiao Liang, without saying whether he agreed or not.
This is not the era when all kinds of smart people will appear on the stage one after another. To survive in the system of 1983, personal conduct is very important. Fenghua brand is now a nationally renowned brand. If you personally want to plagiarize the trademark for your own, what is the difference between that and stealing?
After saying this, Guo Donglun never talked to Li Ye about anything related to business again, but just drank.
Yangcheng's wujiapi wine really lived up to its reputation. After drinking it, Li Ye felt warm all over and felt very comfortable.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Li Ye and Hao Jian went to Pengcheng together.
In the car, Hao Jian said: "Godfather, it seems that Guo Donglun just welcomed you today and didn't say anything important."
"He said so." Li Ye said lazily, "He wants to compete with us."
"Let's compete!" Hao Jian said indifferently: "I'm not exaggerating, but the processing factories of clothing companies have rigid thinking. None of them are worth looking at. They are not our opponents."
"Didn't you hear it?" Li Ye said with a smile, "Guo Donglun wants to completely copy the structure of Pengcheng Seventh Factory and even poach people from Pengcheng Seventh Factory. Today he asked me if I had any other needs, and that was to ask for compensation!"
"What?"
Hao Jian was shocked and stopped the car on the side of the road.
Then he asked Li Ye: "You mean, he will also recruit people from the southwest, and then build a new factory without burdens and constraints? And then compete with us for business?"
"Yes, you guessed it right."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Guo Donglun is a smart man. He sees the fundamental difference between us and those bloated factories, so he will definitely learn from us.
There will be more and more smart people like this in the future, so we can never slack off, we can only keep running forward and run ahead of everyone else."
"this"
Hao Jian also figured it out. It is true that he is a smart man, but there are so many smart people in the world. Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has already set an example for everyone. Who wouldn't be able to copy it?
"Alas~"
He seemed to sigh and drove back on the road.
In the past six months, Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has been ahead of everyone else, and Director Hao is also in the limelight. For a while, he looked down on all the heroes in the world. Now he has to go back to the same starting line. How can he not be worried?
But Li Ye said: "Competition is a good thing. Only with competition can there be progress. If you want to occupy the overseas market, you can't do without product competitiveness. Besides, no matter how much Guo Donglun steals business, isn't he also a flower grower?"
"It's a good idea to keep the wealth within the family. The overseas market is so big that it can accommodate hundreds of garment factories. As long as we can get into the top ten, we will live a comfortable life. What else do we have to worry about?"
"Top ten?" Hao Jian sneered and shook his head, "His godfather, you are talking about the top ten in the country! I didn't even dare to think about being in the top ten in the county before.
When you go to Hong Kong Island this time, ask Pei Wencong to find a way to get a batch of second-hand machines. I'm afraid we won't be able to save the 1.7 million US dollars."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Do you think that 1.7 million US dollars is not much now? Don't feel bad, it may become 17 million next year!"
"Seventeen million US dollars?" Hao Jian said excitedly: "His godfather, if you say so, I will really believe it!"
Li Ye laughed and scolded: "Believe it or not."
Hao Jian laughed out loud, and all the worries in his heart disappeared completely.
Li Ye's words have never been wrong! He said there are 17 million US dollars, which means there are 17 million US dollars, no more, no less.
. . . . . . .
When Li Ye and Hao Jian arrived at Pengcheng Factory No. 7, Li Dayong and Wang Jianqiang were already busy in the factory.
Hao Jian imported a batch of second-hand equipment from Hong Kong Island and is currently installing them in the newly built workshop. The two brothers do not mind the heat or the dirt and are having a great time working with the installers.
I have to say that these two "major shareholders" are both good people. Although they are now worth millions, they do not show any contempt or superiority when getting along with ordinary workers.
Li Dayong saw Li Ye and said happily: "Brother, are these equipments imported? They look really sophisticated."
Li Ye said: "Yes, it is second-hand goods imported from Hong Kong Island. It can't be considered the best, but it can be used barely."
Li Dayong was stunned and said, "This is barely usable? What does the most advanced one look like?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Isn't it the task of you engineering students to be the most advanced? Who should I ask?"
“.”
Seeing that Li Dayong was a little unconfident, Li Ye patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dayong! Don't always look down on yourself. You can enter the Aviation College, which is better than 95% of the people in the country. If you work harder, nothing is impossible."
Li Dayong smiled awkwardly and suddenly asked Li Ye: "Brother, can you tell me, did you really get the guidance from Old Huai?"
Li Ye asked in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"
Li Dayong smiled, stretched out his hand, pointed at the surrounding factories and machines, and said admiringly: "Because you make me believe that nothing is impossible. Brother, you really can do anything."
