Chapter 779 Another Ill-Fated Relationship

A Bao was relieved when he heard this. If he really paid compensation according to the contract, all the money he had earned in the past two years would go into it. The most important thing is that if something like this happened, he would need all the foreign trade orders from Japan. Throw it away. Japanese companies basically share information when communicating with the outside world.

Abao smiled gratefully at Qin Hao, but said nothing, because he knew that there were many words between brothers that did not need to be said, and the other party could receive them with just a look and a movement.

Qin Hao also smiled back at Abao.

After Abao and Wang Mingzhu calmed down, another question faced them: whether to send someone to Japan or directly pay Sugimoto Co., Ltd. to help return the inspection.

"It's better that I take people to Japan. The wages in Japan are horrifyingly high. If it's really a waste of foreign labor, not only will we not make any money on this order, we might even lose a lot of money." After thinking for a long time, Abao said Made a decision.

Wang Mingzhu objected: "Are you taking people there? You can't even speak Japanese."

"If you don't speak, I can find a translator. It's better than losing money, right?"

"That's all we have to do."

Since then, Wang Mingzhu finally felt relieved and said to Abao: "Open a bottle of soda for me, coffee is killing me."

"You didn't want it just now."

"Look after me."

Qin Hao and Abao looked at each other and smiled. This girl is really interesting.

After taking a big sip of soda, Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao and said gratefully: "Thanks to you this time, the more than 300 workers did not lose their jobs."

"You're welcome, Po is my brother, and his business is my business."

Abao patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Can you two stop talking in such official terms? After all, we are also comrades fighting side by side. For the sake of our revolutionary friendship, I will treat you to dinner. How about it?"

"You can eat, but you can't drink. Especially you, who has such a poor drinking capacity, you still imitate other people's drinking." Wang Mingzhu put her hands on her hips and opened up Abao's scar mercilessly.

Not long after, the understanding laughter of the three people came from the office.

Time was running out, and Abao led the team to Japan three days later. According to what Abao said later, during his time here, he saw the prosperity of Tokyo and truly felt the gap between Shanghai and Tokyo. At the same time, he also had the opportunity to continue. Motivation for struggle.

At the same time, when he went to Japan this time, he also brought back someone.

A woman who has been wandering in Japan for many years - Reiko.

With Tao Tao's help, Lingzi opened a small shop called Night Tokyo on Jinxian Road.

During this period, Qin Hao happened to go to Hong Kong to prepare for the opening of the third Hema boutique supermarket. In Liu Sen's words, without Qin Hao, he would always feel a little uneasy.

When the third branch was successfully opened and Qin Hao returned to Shanghai, he was taken to Night Tokyo by Tao Tao and met Lingzi. Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh, the damn gears of fate were so tightly meshed, and Abao finally encountered this. woman.

"Lingzi, this is the Hao I often mentioned to you. The three of us are naked brothers who grew up together."

Before Tao Tao could finish the introduction, Lingzi walked around him and held Qin Hao's hand with gleaming eyes.

"You are Ah Hao. I often hear Ah Bao mention you. I also heard that you opened the Vientiane Plaza. Oh, before returning to China, Ah Bao told me that there are such good department stores in Shanghai. I still don't believe it."

Qin Hao withdrew his hand without leaving a trace: "I didn't open Vientiane Plaza alone, I'm just one of the shareholders."

At this moment, Ah Bao poked his head out from the stairwell: "Ah Hao is here, come up quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"immediately."

Lingzi looked at Qin Hao's back and whispered to Tao Tao: "Why do I think your brother is hostile to me?"

"Oh, you are overthinking. Although Ah Hao is the big boss, he is a very down-to-earth person and never talks about ostentation. Besides, you are still our friend." After Tao Tao finished speaking, he also caught up.

In the compartment on the second floor, Qin Hao took advantage of Tao Tao and Lingzi not coming up, sat down opposite Abao, and winked: "You and that Lingzi."

"Don't get me wrong. She and I have nothing. We just met when we went to a nightclub to treat Yamamoto to a drink. It turned out that she was also from Shanghai. She helped me back to my dormitory several times when I got drunk. This I didn't want to give back to others for helping me, so I helped her rent this store," Abao explained quickly.

Qin Hao shook his head for a while: "The biggest shortcoming of you is that you like to be procrastinating. I am earning foreign exchange in Japan, but just because of your words, I came all the way back. What is it for? Just for such a small shabby shop?"

"Otherwise, what else could you be plotting? You can't be plotting against me, right?"

Seeing Abao's playful smile and cynical expression, Qin Hao simply stopped trying.

In fact, it's no wonder that Ah Bao is a little arrogant now. Twenty-year-old Lang had millions in his pocket, his foreign trade business was booming, he was handsome, he was young and wealthy.

Being fucked by Mr. Bao every day and being called "Short" by Mr. Bao will inevitably cause swelling.

"Just laugh. When the time comes when you suffer, don't cry to me. I won't be your emotional trash can." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.

Abao still wanted to say something, but Tao Tao had already gone upstairs, complaining: "What are you two talking about? You are having such a good time, and you didn't even wait for me to start."

"We're talking about whether you've had any trouble lately."

"Fuck you, you're the one who made the mistake."

Lingzi sat aside for a while, and tried to join the conversation of Qin Hao and the other two several times, but failed. After sitting for a while, she felt that it was boring, so she went to the kitchen on the pretext of urging the food to be served.

Upstairs, Qin Hao and the other two had just had a few drinks when Taotao's mobile phone rang.

"Oh, I told you that Abao and I were drinking, you don't believe it, right? Okay, Ahao, say something to her." Taotao handed the mobile phone to Qin Hao impatiently.

Qin Hao just took the microphone and heard Fangmei's voice from the other end.

"Fangmei, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

Fangmei seemed relieved when she heard Qin Hao's voice: "I'm fine, brother Hao, thank you for thinking about me."

"How is Doudou? I brought gifts for you all when I went to Hong Kong this time. I'll bring them to you another day. OK, bye then."

After handing the mobile phone to Taotao, Qin Hao stared at him: "Have you had a conflict with Fangmei again recently?"

Taotao's eyes were obviously evasive: "What kind of conflict can I have with her?"

But seeing Qin Hao's serious expression, he had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, I said it's not okay, didn't I just go to Golden Phoenix and sing a few songs with the boss lady, and her family saw it."

"You, why don't you go home more often to accompany your wife and children when you have time? Why are you wandering around outside all day?" Qin Hao said angrily.

Tao Tao complained: "There's really nothing going on between me and the Golden Phoenix boss lady. I just went to her place to eat and sing."

"You didn't do anything physically, but you've cheated mentally, you know."

"Oh, I don't understand those advanced terms you're talking about. How can you cheat mentally?"

Seeing that Qin Hao and Tao Tao were about to quarrel, A Bao quickly changed the subject: "By the way, A Hao, I heard from my brother that you're planning to open a MixC in Shenzhen. Is that true?"

"Well, the discussion over there is almost over. This time I plan to introduce MixC and Hema boutique supermarkets to Shenzhen together." Qin Hao naturally knew A Bao's intentions, and he also knew that without personal pain, there was no way to make Tao Tao, the prodigal son, calm down.

A Bao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this: "In this way, isn't it fighting against itself?"

"Vientiane and Hema are taking completely different routes. There may indeed be competition in the early stage, but after customers get used to the two business models, they will choose the shopping model that suits them. The most important thing in doing business is to meet the needs of customers, not to make choices for customers."

After listening to Qin Hao's words, A Bao was thoughtful, and Tao Tao was curious: "Then why don't you open Hema in Shanghai?"

"The business soil in Shanghai and Shenzhen is different. To put it bluntly, Shanghai is not as rich as Shenzhen."

Qin Hao took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued: "Hema adopts a membership model, which has a certain shopping threshold, and at the same time It can also bring people a sense of ‘identity recognition’. Shanghai is a city that has experienced many hardships. In the early years, it was known as the Paris of the East. The people of Shanghai have seen the world and have their own set of ‘identity recognition’ logic. ”

“But Shenzhen is different. It has only been developed for 20 years and has only been truly developed for more than ten years. People from all over the country gather here. Local residents account for less than 10%. Among them, the rich and middle class have only become rich recently. Many people are obviously from the mainland, but they want to learn to speak poor Mandarin like Cantonese people. In such a soil, Hema is more likely to survive. ”

Qin Hao has great expectations for Hema, so he attaches great importance to the first store in the mainland. If he doesn’t open it, he must open it.

Abao pondered for a long time, raised his glass and drank three glasses in a row, blushing and smiling: "You can always learn something when drinking with Ahao."

Taotao obviously didn’t understand it very well, but he still drank three glasses. In fact, he envied Qin Hao and Abao. As the trend-setters of the times who stir up the wind and clouds, they are the objects of everyone’s pursuit no matter where they go.

But he knew that he was not a big businessman, and he was not willing to work hard for the two taels of silver. In his opinion, money was enough, and there was no need to make himself so tired.

Without exception, Taotao got drunk again, and Qin Hao and Abao finally sent him home.

Seeing Fangmei patiently applying a towel to Taotao to cool him down, Abao couldn't help but show envy. He had once imagined marrying Xuezhi and living such a plain and happy life.

In fact, it was ironic that Taotao desperately wanted to escape from what Abao could never get in his life.

After saying goodbye to Fangmei, Qin Hao and Abao also went home.

A week later, Qin Hao handed over the affairs of Vientiane Plaza to General Manager Xu and left for Shenzhen.

Shenzhen in August 1989 was like its hot temperature, shrouded in an anxious and hot atmosphere everywhere.

Dusty construction sites can be seen everywhere on the streets, and buildings are rising from the ground. It is hard to imagine that this bustling city has developed from a small fishing village to the present in just 20 years.

The slogan "Time is money, efficiency is life" is posted all over the streets and alleys, and everyone seems to be racing against time.

Qin Hao can feel a completely different atmosphere here from Shanghai. It is common to be late for business for half an hour in Shanghai, but in Shenzhen, being late for one minute is disrespectful to business partners.

Here, everyone attaches great importance to time and is racing against time to make as much profit as possible.

In Shanghai, the profit of doing business is often not stated, but in Shenzhen, every penny must be calculated clearly.

The revolving restaurant on the top floor of Shenzhen International Trade Building.

When Liu Sen saw Qin Hao, he immediately came up and gave him a bear hug.

"This time we are going to do something big again."

Qin Hao laughed secretly. From the tone, Liu Sen now looked down on the scale of the three Hema supermarkets in Hong Kong.

"When did you come?" Qin Hao came to the window of the revolving restaurant and overlooked the vibrant city in front of him.

Liu Sen spread his hands: "I came two days ago."

"Are you so impatient?"

"To make money, it's better to be quick than slow."

"Haha~~~"

The two smiled at each other.

After sitting down, the two ate and chatted. Qin Hao said seriously: "How are your funds prepared? This time the investment will be larger."

"It's the same as last time. The investment of 250 million yuan, we account for 35%, 87.5 million yuan will be received in three installments, and the initial 30 million has been deposited into the company's public account."

Talking about business, Liu Sen's face was also serious.

Qin Hao nodded: "I have also transferred the initial 50 million RMB to the company's account. The rest will be in two installments and will be in place by next year at the latest."

Although Mixc Plaza has a huge cash flow every day, Qin Hao did not touch the money because he had to keep it to continue opening branches. Shanghai is so big that one Mixc Plaza is far from meeting the needs.

This money was cash he drew from the Hong Kong stock market. A month ago, he had cleared all his Hong Kong stocks. On the one hand, the Hong Kong stock market has stabilized after the stock market crash in 1987. A stable stock market is suitable for investment, but not for speculation.

In addition to the money converted into 50 million RMB, the rest was converted by Qin Hao into 1.8 billion yen and invested in the Japanese stock market.

In a few months, the Japanese economic bubble will be punctured, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of it. Qin Hao has always been ruthless in taking advantage of Japan.

"By the way, the leader of the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Bureau invited us to dinner tomorrow afternoon. It should be that the land has been approved." Liu Sen's face was full of joy as he spoke. In his opinion, this was not a land, but a treasure pot.

"Then I wish us all the best."

"May the wealth and prosperity come to us!"

Qin Hao and Liu Sen clinked their glasses and smiled at each other. After working together for so many years, the two have become more and more tacit.

The next afternoon, Qin Hao and Liu Sen came to a seafood restaurant.

At the door, they ran into a group of people head-on.
