Chapter 1089 It Turns Out that Making Money Is so Easy (Make up for Today's Update)
The next morning, Li Jia woke up from the kitchen table. After washing and hesitating for a moment, she changed into the orange cotton jacket she bought during the Chinese New Year.
Just as Li Jia was combing her hair in front of the mirror, a strange voice came from behind her.
"Sister, are you going on a date with the brother from yesterday?"
Li Jia was startled and said with a red face: "Don't talk nonsense, what date, we are going to do business."
"Oh, that means we are really going to meet the brother from yesterday."
Li Jia realized that she was cheated, and was angry and wanted to hit her. The little girl ran away with a smile, leaving a sentence.
"Sister, you are so beautiful today, you will definitely be able to charm that brother."
After the cousin left, Li Jia muttered: "Who wants to show him."
The girl in the orange jacket in the mirror had a flushed cheek and was lost in thought.
Walking in the alleys of the alley, neighbors greeted Li Jia along the way.
"Oh, Jiajia, you look so pretty today, are you going out?"
"Jiajia, this cotton jacket is so pretty, where did you buy it? I'll buy one for our Wenwen later."
Li Jia responded with a smile, and unknowingly came to the alley, but did not see Qin Hao.
"This guy is late."
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Qin Hao finally arrived. What made Li Jia even more angry was that Qin Hao just said one sentence after he arrived.
"Let's go to the Bund."
There was no word of praise, and a sense of loss surged in Li Jia's heart. It was a pity that she got up early in the morning to dress up, and changed into a new cotton jacket that she was willing to wear for the New Year.
"Blind, wooden, bastard!"
Just as Li Jia stamped her feet angrily, Qin Hao was still urging: "Hurry up, you won't be able to squeeze into the bus later."
Li Jia was so angry that she almost turned back, but Qin Hao said: "Do you still want to make money?"
"Humph, for the sake of making money."
Li Jia waved her fist at Qin Hao's back: "If you dare to lie to me, I'll see if I will pay attention to you in the future!"
Along the way, Li Jia didn't say a word to Qin Hao, and Qin Hao also changed his usual jokes and looked a little serious.
Li Jia realized that Qin Hao was dressed very maturely today. A gray suit completely concealed his immaturity, making it hard to believe that he was not yet eighteen years old this year.
"The Bund, the Bund is here, and the foreign trade company is getting off."
As the bus slowly stopped, Qin Hao directly pulled Li Jia's hand. At first, Li Jia wanted to shake off Qin Hao's palm, but she couldn't get out after struggling several times, so she could only get off the bus behind Qin Hao.
Fortunately, Qin Hao let go after getting off the car, and Li Jia finally couldn't help asking: "You said that this is the place to make money?"
According to Li Jia's idea, there are only two ways to make money, either work to earn a salary or buy and sell goods. The Bund is full of department stores, and stalls are not allowed outside.
"Yes, it's here." Qin Hao said with a serious face: "From now on, you are my secretary. Remember not to act on your own, just follow my words."
It was the first time that Li Jia saw Qin Hao's serious expression, and she nodded blankly.
When they arrived at the door of the foreign trade company, Qin Hao did not go in, but stood at the door and looked around. Li Jia frowned. She really didn't understand how to make money here at the door of the foreign trade company. There was not even a small vendor nearby.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Jia was a little impatient. When she was about to ask Qin Hao what was going on, she saw Qin Hao walking towards a middle-aged man with an ugly face.
The middle-aged man looked distraught and almost bumped into Qin Hao: "I'm sorry..."
"Brother, you don't look very well. Are you sick? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
Faced with the kindness from the stranger, the middle-aged man forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little tired, just take it easy."
"Oh, that's good."
Just as the middle-aged man was about to bypass Qin Hao and leave, he heard Qin Hao say: "Brother, I see you just came out of the foreign trade company, are you doing foreign trade?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Foreign trade is not something that ordinary people can do..."
"Brother, is there any other tricks here? To be honest, I am also planning to do foreign trade."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, the middle-aged man looked at him again, with a look of surprise on his face: "You also want to do foreign trade? Are you a state-owned enterprise or a collective enterprise?"
"Self-employed."
"Self-employed, then you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
"What do you mean? ”
“Foreign trade companies will give priority to state-owned enterprises, followed by collective enterprises. Self-employed? Foreign trade companies will not handle foreign exchange settlement for you at all.”
Qin Hao pretended to be surprised: “So that’s the case. Brother, are you a state-owned enterprise or a collective enterprise?”
“A township collective. Our factory makes hardware parts and has been losing money for years. Last year, the factory carried out contracting reforms, and I contracted the factory. However, the planned orders are given priority to state-owned large factories. Township collectives like us are not saturated at all. Basically, we start work for half a month and stop work for half a month. I thought about coming to Shanghai to try my luck and see if I can get some foreign trade orders.”
The middle-aged man vented: “In the past few months, I basically came to the foreign trade company whenever the factory stopped working. I finally encountered a foreign trade order that was very suitable for our factory. As a result, after the foreign businessman made an on-site inspection, he said that our factory’s equipment was backward and the order should be handed over to the state-owned factory. ”
"The equipment is backward, so do the products you produce meet their requirements?" Qin Hao asked after thinking for a moment.
"Of course they do. Although our equipment is a bit old, our workers are skilled and can make up for the errors of the equipment."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. I feel sorry for the more than 200 employees in the factory."
"Brother, didn't you try to fight with the foreign businessmen again?"
"I came here to fight for it this time. I also brought a lot of samples, but I can't speak foreign languages. The people in the foreign trade company also ignored me. They just wanted to give the orders to the state-owned factories. Our township collective enterprises are raised by stepmothers."
Li Jia, who was standing aside, was confused and didn't understand what Qin Hao was going to do. Just when she was confused, she heard Qin Hao ask in a serious tone.
"Brother, do you still want to get this foreign trade order?"
"Yes, of course I don't. I dream about it."
"Do you still have your samples?"
"In my bag."
"Then do you know where the foreign businessman lives?"
"Peace Hotel."
Qin Hao pulled the middle-aged man up: "Let's go."
"Where to?" The middle-aged man looked at a loss.
"Peace Hotel."
"It's useless. I can't speak foreign languages. We can't communicate at all." The middle-aged man shook his head dejectedly.
"You can't, but I can."
"Ah? Little brother, you really know foreign languages?"
The middle-aged man was ecstatic and held Qin Hao's hand tightly: "Little brother, if you can really get this order for me, you will be a great benefactor of our factory."
However, Qin Hao just smiled and said nothing. The middle-aged man suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "Little brother, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain."
After saying that, he raised five fingers: "This amount of hard work fee after the matter is completed."
"I am Zhao Hongbo, what is your name?"
"Qin Hao, this is my secretary Li Jia."
Li Jia realized that Qin Hao wanted to earn money as a translator, but what puzzled her was why Qin Hao didn't reveal his identity at the beginning, and let her pretend to be a secretary.
But when she thought of Qin Hao's previous explanation, Li Jia had to bury all her doubts in her heart first, and then followed Qin Hao and the others to the Peace Hotel.
After waiting in the lobby for almost an hour, Zhao Hongbo suddenly said to Qin Hao: "Little brother is that foreigner."
Qin Hao looked in the direction of Zhao Hongbo's finger and saw a white man in his thirties.
"Let's go."
Zhao Hongbo's heart trembled: "Is it really possible?"
Qin Hao did not answer, but strode towards the white man. Zhao Hongbo hurried to catch up.
A correct version in 16191 book and 1 bar!
Just when he was about to pass by the white man, Qin Hao called him in French.
The white man looked at Qin Hao in surprise: "Do you know French?"
"I was lucky to live in France for a few years. It is a poetic country." Qin Hao said against his will.
The white man smiled and chatted with Qin Hao in French again. He seemed to be in high spirits and invited Qin Hao to sit down on the sofa in the hall.
Zhao Hongbo saw Qin Hao chatting with the foreigner enthusiastically, and then he completely believed that he could speak foreign languages, and his heart became more and more excited.
Li Jia's face was full of disbelief. At first, she heard that the white man was not speaking English, and she had only one thought in an instant: it was bad. What she didn't expect was that Qin Hao could actually chat with this foreigner in French for so long, and judging from the pronunciation of the two, Qin Hao's French was quite standard.
After chatting for ten minutes, the white man finally asked Qin Hao why he stopped him.
Qin Hao told him about Zhao Hongbo, and the white man realized that he had seen Zhao Hongbo before.
"Well, Mr. Qin, I really want to help you, but this gentleman's factory equipment is too old, and our company has very high requirements for products..."
Qin Hao whispered to Zhao Hongbo: "Bring all your samples."
Zhao Hongbo didn't have time to ask, and directly put all the dozen samples in the bag on the coffee table. Qin Hao picked up one of the forks and said to the white man.
"Mr. Claude, although their equipment is old, their factory has very good technical workers. They have been in the industry for more than ten years. Their technology can completely make up for the gap in equipment. Mr. Zhao can guarantee that the products they produce will definitely meet the size and quality requirements of your company, and their prices are much lower than those of large factories."
The white man fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Qin Hao continued in French: "Mr. Claude, the volume of your order is not large. For those big factories, you are just a small customer and they will not focus on you. But for Mr. Zhao's factory, you are God and they will complete this order wholeheartedly."
Claude looked at Zhao Hongbo, who was eager, and then said to Qin Hao: "Can you write these promises into the contract?"
Zhao Hongbo realized that he had talked about the key point, and hurriedly asked Qin Hao nervously: "What did he say?"
Qin Hao repeated his promise to the other party, and Zhao Hongbo shouted to Claude excitedly: "OK, OK."
He has not been in vain in the foreign trade building for the past few months. At least he knows the meaning of the word OK.
"Okay, then I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
Zhao Hongbo couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw Claude extending his hand to him with a smile. After shaking hands, he immediately asked Qin Hao with an earnest face: "How is it? Did you take it?"
Qin Hao nodded with a smile.
Zhao Hongbo immediately gave Qin Hao a bear hug: "Little brother, no, brother Qin, you are my savior."
Qin Hao just smiled and said nothing. Zhao Hongbo understood: "Brother Qin, don't worry, I will never break my promise to you."
"Then when will we sign the contract?"
"Tomorrow morning."
After leaving the Peace Hotel, Zhao Hongbo went straight to the bank and took out a total of fifty large unity notes and handed them to Qin Hao.
"Brother Qin, it's settled. We'll sign the contract at the Peace Hotel tomorrow morning. See you there or not."
Qin Hao did not rush to pick it up, but said to Zhao Hongbo with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?"
"Hey, brother Qin speaks foreign languages so well. It's not easy to make money. As for cheating me of this money?" Zhao Hongbo said with a smile.
"Then see you at the Peace Hotel tomorrow. I will also go over the contract for you. When doing business with foreigners, you must be careful about the contract, otherwise you will be cheated and you will lose your money and you will have no place to explain."
Zhao Hongbo slapped his thigh and said to himself that the money was well spent: "I just said that Brother Qin is a person who does great things, so I will thank you in advance."
After Zhao Hongbo left, Qin Hao turned around and found Li Jiazheng gaping at the thick stack of banknotes.
"Here, this is your hard work fee." Qin Hao took out ten large unity cards and handed them to Li Jia.
Li Jia hurriedly hid back: "I can't have this. How can I get so much money if I don't do anything?"
"You get paid for acting." Qin Hao directly put the money into her hand.
Li Jia felt the thickness of the ten sheets of unity, and felt a little dazed for a moment: "You have earned so much in just such a long time, and how do you know French?"
"Just learn if you're interested." Qin Hao said casually.
"Come on, let's continue."
"Huh? Oh."
On the way back to the Foreign Trade Building, Li Jia asked with some confusion: "Why didn't you directly identify yourself as a translator just now? Instead, you made up your identity as a self-employed person?"
"If it was just for translation, do you think Zhao Hongbo would be willing to give us 500 yuan all at once?"
"Then you are not afraid that Zhao Hongbo will not admit his guilt afterwards?"
"Since I can convince Claude to cooperate with him, I naturally have a way to mess up this matter. If that doesn't work, I can get the order myself and find a factory to do it. I can earn much more than this, but it just takes a little time. That’s all.”
Returning to the foreign trade building, Qin Hao repeated his old tricks and won another foreign trade order for a small factory. This order was relatively easy. The two parties negotiated a translation fee of 300 yuan, which took an hour and a half.
When Li Jia came home in the afternoon, she already had three hundred yuan in her hand. She calculated that Qin Hao's income today had exceeded two thousand yuan.
This is the first time that Li Jia has so much money that when he takes the bus, everyone looks like a thief.
At the entrance of the alley, Li Jia hesitated for a long time and asked weakly.
"Are you still going tomorrow?"
"What do you want tomorrow?"
"It's okay, it's okay, school starts in a week."
"That's okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay."
Just when Li Jia was about to leave, he heard Qin Hao suddenly say.
"The dress is beautiful and suits you very well."
Li Jia paused, and two red clouds quietly climbed onto his cheeks, then he quickly ran upstairs and disappeared.
