Chapter 2367
As long as the procedure is compliant
When later generations talk about this era, they often say, "The bold get rich, the timid starve."
There's some truth to that.
It's like right now, during the hottest time of the year.
Cold drinks and beverages also sell very well elsewhere.
But on this construction site, plus the farmers' market next door, there are at least a thousand people, not counting customers.
So many people, and all of them are capable of making a living.
Just think about how strong these people's spending power must be.
So this woman must have a good eye for business to dare to come here.
"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi..." Xu Damao followed He Yuzhu here like a little shadow, chattering incessantly.
"Want some soda?" He Yuzhu asked casually.
"Drink!" Xu Damao answered decisively.
"Sister-in-law, open another bottle." He Yuzhu took out another 15 cents from his pocket and gave it to the woman.
Actually, looking at this woman selling soda, although she's tanned, she's probably a little younger than He Yuzhu.
When you're out and about, it's good to be a little polite.
"ha···
"Pillar, Principal He, I want to change my stall..." Xu Damao took a sip of soda and couldn't help but let out a "haha" before getting down to business with He Yuzhu.
"Eighty-eight! The second stall," He Yuzhu said expressionlessly.
Are you robbing me?
"What about our revolutionary friendship of so many years?" Xu Damao was so angry that he didn't care about manners anymore and pointed at He Yuzhu with the mouth of the soda bottle.
He Yuzhu curled his lip and said, "I'm thinking of getting the second to tenth stalls to over a hundred bids."
Giving you 88 is already a bargain.
After He Yuzhu finished speaking, Xu Damao remained silent.
He was a seasoned businessman, so he naturally knew how much a good stall could boost business.
Putting aside other things, in places like Xiushui Street, it's not uncommon for people to fight to the death over a good stall.
Every month, people fight over good stalls.
The kind that actually involves knives.
“Brother Zhu, we’re brothers, shouldn’t you take care of your younger brother?” Xu Damao said shamelessly.
He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes; he just couldn't stand Xu Damao's shameless behavior.
He finished his soda and then said to Xu Damao, "You're always so petty."
If it were my own stall, I'd give it to you for free.
Isn't this public property?
Do you even realize how much trouble I'll be in later if I give you this little bit of advantage?
If you had any sense at all, you wouldn't be thinking about this pittance of rent; you'd be thinking about starting a business to make money.
"What do you mean?" Xu Damao was indeed thick-skinned, and he directly pressed his way in.
"Electronic watch, quartz watch, mechanical watch..." He Yuzhu uttered nine words in a row, his face expressionless.
His statement was certainly not unfounded.
He had been thinking about what he should do with his two hundred stalls.
If it were like Xiushui Street, ordinary people would be doing business selling the most common socks and clothes.
Everyone who does business in the market knows this road.
Go to the south, pick up goods, and bring back at least double the profit.
But that industry is just too easy to replicate.
And there's nothing to delve into.
Since Zhongguancun was able to become a hub for the electronics industry in later generations.
So why isn't this big market he's building working out?
It's just that they're missing a leader.
Now that Xu Damao has delivered himself to our doorstep, isn't he the perfect leader?
"hiss····
"Pillar, can that thing even be worked on?" Xu Damao couldn't help but hiss coldly.
These things are still considered luxury items now. He does know where to find them in the south, and he has the channels to get them. But he never really thought about selling them openly.
Just like what the two of them are talking about now, it has nothing to do with the toy factory's products.
Because these are legitimate businesses preparing to obtain their licenses, not the makeshift vendors on Xiushui Street.
If Xu Damao were still selling roller skates, he wouldn't even be able to explain the source of his goods.
He planned to rent this stall and let Song Jiefang run it well.
This is one of the things he, as a father, can do for his son.
Now Xu Shengli certainly doesn't need him to worry anymore.
The only person he could worry about was his other son, Song Jiefang.
He Yuzhu took two steps to the side, just in time to avoid the listening range of the soda vendor.
Xu Damao, being sensible, followed along.
He Yuzhu then lowered his voice and said, "Are you fucking stupid?"
As long as they can provide you with an invoice when you take the goods, you don't care where the goods come from.
If there's an invoice, it's legitimate.
Without an invoice, it's not legitimate.
"We don't concern ourselves with other matters in this large market."
Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xu Damao grinned broadly.
He understood what He Yuzhu meant.
He Yuzhu would only say this to him; he would never say it to anyone else.
This seems like a very sordid thing.
But from reform and opening up to becoming a world manufacturing powerhouse.
Which of those large-scale electronics wholesale markets is free of shady dealings?
This small southern city is a hub for counterfeit goods; without these shady dealings, this brand simply wouldn't exist.
What else can He Yuzhu do?
Should Xu Damao source his goods through legitimate channels?
Xu Damao was simply not qualified to purchase goods.
Apart from a few legitimate supply and marketing cooperatives and shopping malls, no other private shops have the qualification to purchase these goods.
So if you want to break the deadlock, you have to do something that's not so compliant with regulations.
"Brother Zhu, won't what I'm doing affect our victory?" Xu Damao asked hesitantly.
"Don't be greedy, and follow the proper procedures."
"Quality must be guaranteed. As long as no customers cause trouble, there's no problem." He Yuzhu looked towards the construction site, not even glancing at Xu Damao, but the words he spoke in a low voice were something Xu Damao wanted to write down in his notebook.
He knew very well that, logically speaking, it was definitely not something that someone of He Yuzhu's status should say.
This shows that she truly considered him a brother, which is why she was willing to tell him.
Even if you tried a second or third person, spending tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, you still wouldn't get these words out of He Yuzhu.
"Actually, this matter is not difficult to handle."
Find someone over there and set up a shell company for electronics.
Then you contact a few people you have good relationships with, and you can use that company to wholesale your goods.
They'd get their hands on it in Beijing, add a little profit, and then resell it.
The risks are upstream and downstream; they have nothing to do with you.
"Legal and compliant, paying taxes according to law..." He Yuzhu took a few more steps toward the noisy area, and his words became increasingly bold.
"Brother Zhu, why are you doing this?" Xu Damao asked in surprise.
This matter brought He Yuzhu no benefit whatsoever.
He really didn't know what He Yuzhu was after.
"People act out of self-interest!"
Only when you business people make money.
That's why some people, in pursuit of greater profits, think about imitation and research and development..." He Yuzhu said solemnly, his face as calm as still water. (End of this chapter)
