Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1089 It turns out that making money is so easy (make up for today's update)
The next morning, Li Jia woke up at the kitchen table. After washing up and hesitating for a moment, he changed into the orange cotton-padded jacket he 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 that brother from yesterday?"

Li Jia was startled and blushed, "Don't talk nonsense, what date? We are here to do business."

"Oh, so I am going to meet the brother from yesterday."

Li Jia then realized that he had been cheated. He got angry and was about to hit the little girl, but she ran away smiling, leaving behind a sentence.

"Sister, you are so beautiful today. You will definitely charm that brother."

After the cousin left, Li Jia muttered, "Who wants to show it to him?"

The girl in the orange jacket in the mirror had blushing cheeks and was lost in thought.

Walking in the alleys of the lane, neighbors greeted Li Jia along the way.

"Oh, Jia Jia is wearing such a beautiful outfit today, are you going out?"

"Jia Jia, this cotton-padded jacket is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? I'll buy one for our Wen Wen later."

Li Jia responded with a smile one by one, and unknowingly arrived outside the alley, but did not see Qin Hao.

"This guy is actually late."

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Qin Hao finally showed up. What made Li Jia even more angry was that Qin Hao just said something after he showed up.

"Let's go to the Bund."

There was not a single word of praise. A feeling of loss surged into Li Jia's heart. She had gotten up early in the morning to dress up and even put on a new cotton-padded jacket that she had only worn during the Chinese New Year.

"Blind, wooden, bastard!"

Just as Li Jia stamped her feet angrily, Qin Hao was still urging her: "Hurry up, or you won't be able to get on the bus soon."

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. Qin Hao also changed his usual joking style and looked a little serious.

Only then did Li Jia realize that Qin Hao was dressed very maturely today. The grey suit completely concealed his immaturity, making it hard to believe that he was not yet eighteen years old.

"The Bund, we're here at the Bund. Someone's getting off at the Foreign Trade Company."

As the bus slowly stopped, Qin Hao directly pulled Li Jia's hand. At first, Li Jia wanted to shake off Qin Hao's hand, but she failed after struggling several times and could only follow Qin Hao out of the bus.

Fortunately, Qin Hao let go after getting off the car. Li Jia finally couldn't help asking, "You said this is the place to make money?"

According to Li Jia's idea, there are only two ways to make money, either work and earn a salary, or buy and sell goods. There are department stores all over the Bund, and stalls are not allowed outside.

"Yes, it's right here." Qin Hao said seriously, "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 with such a 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 looking around. Li Jia frowned. She really didn't understand how the foreign trade company could make money here when there were not even any small vendors nearby.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Li Jia became 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 a grim expression.

The middle-aged man looked distraught and almost bumped into Qin Hao: "Sorry..."

"Hey, big brother, you don't look well. Are you sick? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

Facing the kindness from strangers, the middle-aged man forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a while."

"Oh, all right."

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 trick 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.”

"You're a self-employed person, so you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"How to say?"

"Foreign trade companies will give priority to state-owned enterprises, followed by collective enterprises. As for self-employed individuals? Foreign trade companies will not handle foreign exchange settlement for you at all."

Qin Hao pretended to be surprised and said, "I see. So, brother, are you from a state-owned enterprise or a collective enterprise?"

"We are a township collective. Our factory makes hardware parts and has been losing money for years. Last year, the factory implemented a contracting system reform, and I contracted the factory. However, the planned orders are given priority to large state-owned factories. Township collectives like ours are not fully stocked with orders. 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 all his anger: "In the past few months, I have basically come to the foreign trade company whenever the factory stopped working. I finally came across a foreign trade order that was very suitable for our factory. However, after the foreign company conducted an on-site inspection, it said that our factory's equipment was outdated and wanted to give the order to a state-owned factory."

"The equipment is outdated. Do the products you produce meet their requirements?" Qin Hao asked after thinking for a moment.

"Of course it is. Although our equipment is a bit old, our workers are highly skilled and can fully make up for the errors in the equipment."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. I feel so sorry for the more than 200 employees in the factory."

"Brother, didn't you try to get more support from the foreign businessmen?"

"I came here to fight for it. I brought a lot of samples with me, but I don't speak foreign languages. The people in the foreign trade company ignored me. They just wanted to give the orders to the state-owned factories. We, the collective enterprises in the towns, are just stepmothers."

Li Jia, who was standing by, was confused and didn't understand what Qin Hao was going to do. Just as she was wondering, she heard Qin Hao ask in a serious tone.

"Brother, do you still want to get this foreign trade order?"

"Of course I do. I think about it even in my dreams."

“Do you still have the sample?”

"It's in the bag."

"Then do you know where the foreign merchants live?"

"peace restaurant."

Qin Hao pulled the middle-aged man up and said, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" The middle-aged man looked confused.

"The Peace Hotel."

"It's useless. I don't speak foreign languages ​​and there's no way we can communicate as we're talking at cross purposes." The middle-aged man shook his head dejectedly.

"You can't, I can."

"Ah? Little brother, you really can speak 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 without saying anything. The middle-aged man suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "Don't worry, little brother, I won't let you work in vain."

After saying that, he raised five fingers and said, "This is the hard work fee after the task is completed."

"My name is Zhao Hongbo, what's your name, little brother?"

"Qin Hao, this is my secretary Li Jia."

Li Jia then realized that Qin Hao wanted to earn money as a translator. However, what puzzled her was why Qin Hao did not reveal his identity from the beginning and let her pretend to be a secretary.

However, thinking of what Qin Hao had said before, Li Jia had no choice but to bury all his questions in his heart, and then followed Qin Hao and the others to the Peace Hotel.

After waiting in the hall for almost an hour, Zhao Hongbo suddenly said to Qin Hao: "Little brother is the foreigner."

Qin Hao looked in the direction Zhao Hongbo pointed and saw a white man in his thirties.

"Let's go."

Zhao Hongbo's heart trembled: "Will it really work?"

Qin Hao did not answer, but strode towards the white man. Seeing this, Zhao Hongbo hurriedly followed.

Just as he was about to pass by the white man, Qin Hao called out to him in French.

The white man looked at Qin Hao in surprise: "You know French?"

"I had the honor of living in France for a few years. It is a poetic country," Qin Hao said against his will.

The white man smiled and started chatting with Qin Hao in French again. He seemed to be having a good time and even invited Qin Hao to sit on the sofa in the hall.

When Zhao Hongbo saw Qin Hao chatting enthusiastically with the foreigner, he finally believed that he could speak foreign languages ​​and became more and more excited.

Li Jia's face was full of disbelief. At first, when she heard that the white man was not speaking English, she instantly had only one thought: It's bad. But what she never expected was that Qin Hao could actually chat with this foreigner in French for such a long time, and judging from the pronunciation of the two, Qin Hao's French was quite standard.

After chatting for about ten minutes, the white man finally asked Qin Hao why he stopped him.

Qin Hao told the white man everything about Zhao Hongbo, and the man then realized that he had seen Zhao Hongbo before.

"Well, Mr. Qin, I really want to help you, but the equipment in your factory is too old, and our company has very high requirements for products..."

Qin Hao whispered to Zhao Hongbo, "Bring all your samples here."

Zhao Hongbo didn't have time to ask, and directly placed 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 skilled workers who 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 their products will definitely meet your company's size and quality requirements, 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 quantity of your order is not large. To those big factories, you are just a small customer. They will not focus their main attention on you. But to Mr. Zhao's factory, you are God. They will complete this order wholeheartedly."

Claude looked at Zhao Hongbo, who was full of eagerness, and then said to Qin Hao: "Can you write these promises into the contract?"

Zhao Hongbo realized that they had come to the key point, and asked Qin Hao nervously: "What did he say?"

Qin Hao repeated his promise to the other party, and Zhao Hongbo excitedly shouted to Claude: "OK, OK."

His time in the Foreign Trade Building over the past few months was not in vain, as at least he knew the meaning of the word OK.

"Well, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhao Hongbo was overjoyed when he saw Claude extending his hand to him with a smile. After shaking hands, he immediately asked Qin Hao eagerly, "How is it? Did you get 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: "Don't worry, brother Qin. I will never break my promise to you."

"So when do we sign the contract?"

"tomorrow morning."

After leaving the Peace Hotel, Zhao Hongbo went straight to the bank and withdrew fifty Great Unity notes and gave them to Qin Hao.

"Brother Qin, it's settled then. We'll sign the contract at the Peace Hotel tomorrow morning. See you there."

Qin Hao didn't rush to answer it, but smiled and said to Zhao Hongbo: "Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away?"

"Hey, Brother Qin, you speak foreign languages ​​fluently, so it should be easy for you to make money. Why would you cheat me of such a small amount of money?" Zhao Hongbo laughed.

"Then let's meet at the Peace Hotel tomorrow. I'll go over the contract for you then. When doing business with foreigners, you must be very careful with the contract, otherwise you will be cheated out of everything and have no place to seek justice."

Zhao Hongbo slapped his thigh and thought to himself that the money was well spent: "I said that Brother Qin is a man who can do great things. So I thank you in advance."

After Zhao Hongbo left, Qin Hao turned around and found Li Jia staring at the thick stack of banknotes in amazement.

"Here, this is your hard work fee." Qin Hao took out ten big unity notes and handed them to Li Jia.

Li Jia quickly hid back: "I can't take this. How can I get so much money when I haven't done anything?"

"Acting also gets you paid." Qin Hao stuffed the money directly into her hands.

Li Jia felt the thickness of the ten big unity cards and was a little dazed for a moment: "You earned so much in just half a day, and how do you know French?"

"Learn it 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 in confusion: "Why didn't you just state your identity as a translator? Instead, you made up your identity as a self-employed business owner?"

"If it's just a translation, do you think Zhao Hongbo would be willing to give us 500 yuan at once?"

"Aren't you afraid that Zhao Hongbo will deny it later?"

"Since I can convince Claude to cooperate with him, I can naturally find a way to ruin this matter. If it doesn't work, I can take the order myself and find a factory to do it. I can earn much more than this, but it will only take some time."

Back in the foreign trade building, Qin Hao used the same trick again and won another foreign trade order for a small factory. This order was relatively easy. The two parties agreed on a translation fee of 300 yuan, which took an hour and a half.

When Li Jia returned home in the afternoon, she already had 300 yuan in her hand. She calculated that Qin Hao's income for the day had exceeded 2,000 yuan.

This was the first time Li Jia had so much money that when he was riding the bus, everyone looked like a thief to him.

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, there's still a week before school starts."

"That's fine. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"okay."

Just as Li Jia was about to leave, she heard Qin Hao suddenly say.

"The dress is beautiful and suits you very well."

Li Jia paused, two red clouds quietly climbed up her cheeks, and then she quickly ran upstairs and disappeared.
