Song TIANYAO took Lou Fengyun to a tea party organized by Chaozhou chamber of Commerce.
The tea party was arranged by Li Bazhong, the manager of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. It was located in the yimingchun teahouse, a time-honored brand in Jotun, Kowloon. In fact, most of the people who came to the tea party had nothing to do with Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. Only four of them were members of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce, and the rest were from all regions. What they had in common was that they were ready to do wig business, Song TIANYAO was asked to help order the machines. Now that the Spring Festival is over, the machines will soon arrive in Hong Kong for production. Naturally, we should sit together and talk, get to know each other, speak out our doubts and communicate with each other.
This kind of tea party is an old tradition among the practitioners of chambers of Commerce and trade associations in various regions of Hong Kong. Almost every line and industry will hold some similar tea parties or wine parties from time to time. Everyone will exchange on raw materials, production processes and even prices, so as to stabilize the order of the whole industry and develop together.
However, today's tea party is slightly different from those in other industries, because the wig business has just appeared and there is no trade chamber. In addition to the current money making of a factory in Song TIANYAO, everyone is still an outsider. They are still a little nervous. They only know that wigs make money, but where should they be sold when they are produced? How to deal with buyers? How much should it cost? Where does the raw material come from?
Of course, people in this industry have inquired about these problems in private, but they are still not sure about it in private. Of course, it is desirable to have such an opportunity for everyone to sit down and communicate.
The person who can provide answers in the eyes of these people is undoubtedly song TIANYAO, a new member of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce.
When song TIANYAO and Lou Fengyun arrived at the yimingchun teahouse, they just met Tang Boqi and Tang Jingyuan outside the teahouse. They were getting off Tang Boqi's fashionable champagne car.
"Billy, Yuan Shao." song TIANYAO greeted them with a smile, then stopped at the door of the teahouse, waiting for Tang Boqi and Tang Jingyuan to go upstairs together.
Tang Jingyuan subconsciously stopped. After all, he did the job of digging song TIANYAO's factory women. At this time, it was inevitable that he was embarrassed to see song TIANYAO. Instead, Tang Boqi walked over freely, gave song TIANYAO a cigarette, smiled and said: "Ah Yao? Aren't ordinary big people the last to play? Now everyone is waiting for you to impart experience. You should come later and maintain your aura."
"I also want to." song TIANYAO lit his cigarette, listened to Tang Boqi's words and nodded approvingly: "I also want to maintain the demeanor of a young teacher who teaches and preaches, dispels doubts and enlightens wisdom, but President Chu asked his housekeeper to call me yesterday and told me to remain humble, so that I don't feel arrogant and forget myself after making some money, especially not to be late."
"Chu will care so much about you?" Tang Boqi said to song TIANYAO with a bad smile, "does he have a daughter ready to marry you?"
"This tea party was arranged by Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. If I put on airs, outsiders will only say that Chaozhou chamber of Commerce doesn't know how to be a man. He is the president of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. Do you think he cares?" song TIANYAO turned his eyes: "besides, you have such a beautiful baby. Even if you have a daughter, most of them will only patronize you."
The two men walked to the second floor of the teahouse side by side with cigarettes. There were no other visitors upstairs. Only Li Bazhong, the manager of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce, was bored sitting in his seat drinking tea and reading the newspaper. His men set up a sign in book beside the stairs on the second floor. When someone went upstairs, they immediately opened the sign in book and politely asked song TIANYAO and Tang Boqi to sign on it.
Song TIANYAO found his name on the sign in book, wrote it again with a pen after his name, and then handed it to Lou Fengyun. Seeing song TIANYAO and Lou Fengyun write down his name, the man in charge of signing in immediately raised his voice a little, politely called their company name and name, and asked them to go to the hall on the second floor, which was also li ba who bowed his head to read the newspaper Send message in advance:
"Xianrong trading company, boss song TIANYAO, Ms. Lou Fengyun of Jiuguang wig factory, please."
"Ah Yao? Come so early?" hearing the voice of his men, Li Bazhong closed the newspaper and stood up from his seat: "it's about three o'clock in the afternoon, and half an hour is enough. It's too early."
"Tang Boqi, boss Tang of Jimei international trading company and Tang Jingyuan, boss Tang of Xingye wig factory, please." Tang Boqi and Tang Jingyuan over there have also signed in. Li Bazhong looks at Song TIANYAO and Tang Boqi and Tang Jingyuan who follow him. He asks curiously, "why? Did you come together?"
"I'm just worried about Uncle an's boredom, so I'll come and chat with you first. How about punching first?" song TIANYAO said to Li Bazhong.
Li Bazhong is the value manager of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. Unlike Chu Yaozong and other Chaozhou businessmen who have worked hard in Hong Kong for more than ten years, Li Bazhong came to Hong Kong from the mainland to start a business in 1946. When he was a boy, he worked as a coolie in a steel company in Guangzhou. Later, he went to a steel company in Malaysia to study as an apprentice for several years, then returned to Guangzhou to enter the steel company, and finally became a steel company all the way The position of deputy general manager is below one person and above ten thousand people.
Just when Li Bazhong thought that he would deal with steel all his life, the Kuomintang government swallowed the steel company he worked for. There was no reason, no reason, which was similar to open robbery. Therefore, Li Bazhong was extremely disappointed with the Kuomintang government. His family moved to Hong Kong and established a business firm, mainly engaged in fruit business. He transported Nanyang fresh fruits to Hong Kong and wholesale them locally Fruit bar and fruit line. Although there is no great wealth in the past few years, it is also a small rich family and has a lot of surplus wealth.
Li Bazhong had been the vice president of the iron and steel company before. He was generous and forthright. He especially liked drinking and making friends. He would be there as long as he was free. Song TIANYAO saw Li Bazhong's momentum when drinking at the last Spring Festival banquet. He was rude and simple. He didn't look like a southerner. He would drink a few cups without changing his face.
Moreover, Li Bazhong is not interested in the position of the chamber of Commerce, nor does he want to rob the business of other industries and be kind to others everywhere. On the contrary, he is quite recognized by the Chaozhou chamber of Commerce. This tea party is simply arranged by him with a cosmopolitan personality.
"Do you stroke with me? Ah Yao, you're brave enough not to leave at night. Go to the restaurant to have a few drinks with Uncle A. after a set of boxing, Zhong can let you see how many fingers you have, even if uncle a I lose." Li Bazhong smiled brightly and asked several people to sit down and chat.
When it was nearly three o'clock, other people also arrived one after another. Together, there were eleven. Some came forward by themselves, such as Huang siqun, and some came forward by their children, such as Tang Jingyuan. There was Li Bazhong, who would not be cold at all. Seeing that everyone was together, Li Bazhong stood in the main position and said with a smile:
"President Chu talked to me, and ah Yao also talked to me. Recently, many people here have called them privately to ask them some questions about the wig business. President Chu and ah Yao understand your mood. After all, all the people present today have ordered machines. Even the factory and even the workers have arranged for them to start production only after the machines arrive in Hong Kong. It's normal to be anxious. So President Chu specially asked me to arrange such a tea party to invite ah Yao and you to a table and talk about the topic clearly, so that you can feel at ease. President Chu and ah Yao don't have to answer each one separately. However, I said first, ah Yao is a young generation, but you don't rely on the old to sell the old. It's human nature for ah Yao to speak, but it's his duty not to speak. He's young and thin skinned. He's not good Say no, but if I see you pushing him too hard... "
Li Bazhong also exaggerated to pull up his sleeve and said in a half true tone: "my uncle of Chaozhou chamber of Commerce will not be polite! Well, you all know each other, so you don't need to hide. If you have something to say, everyone is very busy."
"Mr. Song, in terms of raw materials, can a braid produce a wig? If there is loss, how much will it be? Will your factory workers be more economical in raw materials when they first produced wigs than now?" a young man looked politely at Song TIANYAO and asked a series of questions eagerly.
Song TIANYAO looked at each other in surprise. These questions were... Very good.
