I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 120 Will Athlete's Foot Be Infected?

"Hmm~ You are doing business, so you must need investment. Do you have enough money? If not, can I invest some?"

Zhao Lingshan narrowed her eyes and asked softly.

"No, I don't need it for now. My girlfriend is also a rich woman. If you don't have enough, just go to her directly."

Chen Xi shook his head slightly and refused.

"If you don't have enough money, just ask me directly. I just said it was an investment because I was afraid you wouldn't accept my money."

When Zhao Lingshan heard Chen Xi mention his girlfriend, she immediately changed her tone and spoke.

"What the hell is going on? It makes me feel like a gigolo."

"Hehe, my calves are so sore, um~"

"Fuck, if you make that kind of noise again I'm going back to my room."

Zhao Lingshan poked Chen Xi's arm gently in a coquettish tone and said coquettishly, "Your massage technique is great, I can't help it~ Try standing there in high heels for a whole day, and see if your legs and feet will feel sore."

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going back to bed. You should get some rest too."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he walked to the sink.

"Wow~"

There was a sound of water flowing.

"It stinks. Will I get athlete's foot?"

"Go to hell you!"

Chen Xi was startled, dodged a flying pillow, and quickly slipped out of the room.

"Is it really smelly? It doesn't smell at all, it smells nice! Damn Chen Xi, I'm going to kill you tomorrow."

After the door was closed, Zhao Lingshan gently lifted her cute little feet, put them close to her nose, and took a deep breath.

The next second, she became furious, her brows furrowed, and her eyes flashed with anger.

The next morning, Chen Xi sat at the dining table, enjoying breakfast. Zhao Lingshan sat opposite him, crossing her legs and occasionally kicking his calves.

"What are you doing? You keep kicking me."

Chen Xi raised his head and glanced at the other person.

Is this woman grumpy when she wakes up?

"I kicked you and told you my feet stink. Tonight I'm going to put my feet in your mouth."

"Hurry up and eat, we have to go to the exhibition hall soon!"

"Humph~"

Seeing that she was starting to lose her temper, Chen Xi ignored her. After a while, Zhao Lingshan calmed down. She was not the kind of woman who was rude and unreasonable and always in a bad mood. Chen Xi knew her too well.

"JMM next to you received a lot of orders yesterday. You have to work harder to narrow the gap. Engraving machines are one of the company's products. Although they may not be the main product in the future, we can't let them take advantage of us..."

"Oh, I see."

Chen Xi watched his father walk up to him, give him a lot of instructions and assign him tasks. He could only nod and agree.

"Did you hear that? I told you to run around yesterday."

"You're so talkative. You talk more than my mom."

"Looking for a fight..."

After Chen's father left, Zhao Lingshan glared at him, picked up the small spoon on the table, and put on a fierce look. Her fierce look reminded Chen Xi of Saori.
"You're so fierce, you might not be able to get married!"

"What did you say?"

After a breakfast that made Chen Xi nervous, he finally arrived at the convention center.

He stretched his body and felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Seeing the two employees beside him enthusiastically introducing the products to passing customers, he couldn't help but perk up and become serious.

Uncle Hu was in person at his booth today. It must have been a deliberate arrangement by his father. He hoped that the two of them could have more opportunities to communicate.

"Hello, this is the new laser engraving machine QK356..." Seeing two male customers stopping in front of their booth for a moment, Chen Xi approached them enthusiastically.

"The price is too high. The JMM next door is cheaper than yours, and HKT has a model that only costs over 200,000 yuan."

After listening to Chen Xi's introduction, one of the male customers waved his hands, indicating that the price was too high and unacceptable.

"Theirs are domestically made, and the materials and workmanship are not up to high standards." Chen Xi explained quickly.

"Others' machines are cheaper and just as good. I can buy two from them for the price of one of your machines." Another man echoed.

"It's different. I think you must have used a lot of machines similar to HKT, right? They often break down, and there are many problems with the software, and they often need repairs. But their company is too small to provide comprehensive repair services. Our advantage is that we have repair points all over the world. Even if there is no repair point where you are, as long as you make a phone call, we can immediately send someone to repair it for you."

Chen Xi began to introduce the advantages of their company in detail.

"I know that, but repairs are charged. Generally, repairs are not cheap. Besides, if I buy a domestic machine, I can find someone to repair it!"

"No, our company has already launched a one-year free maintenance service in the past few years. If you need to replace new equipment, you only need to hand over the old equipment to us, and we can deduct part of the cost and give you some subsidies."

After listening to Chen Xi's words, the two men looked at each other but did not continue speaking.

Uncle Hu had already noticed the situation here. He crossed his arms and observed with interest how Chen Xi dealt with the two customers.

"All our materials come from Germany, so our workmanship is definitely superior to other brands. The assembly process is also very simple, and our products are well-known worldwide. In contrast, the shell parts of other domestic machines are often manufactured by domestic processing plants, which have many mismatching problems. Once damaged, these manufacturers rarely send people to repair them. Although it seems to cost less, it is actually a lot of trouble." "You two are obviously knowledgeable about this business. You should know who is the company behind our ERC? The reputation and quality are absolutely reassuring..."

Chen Xi explained enthusiastically for a long time. Zhao Lingshan beside him considerately handed him a glass of water and began to assist him in his work.

Although Chen Xi did not have an in-depth understanding of the details of the machine, he had been in the company since he was a child and was relatively clear about some basic situations.

With the help of Zhao Lingshan, the top student, he undoubtedly felt a lot more relaxed.

Finally, the two customers were successfully invited into the booth.

Uncle Hu, a big boss with a technical background, personally went into business negotiations with the client, while Chen Xi stood by and listened attentively.

“Professional knowledge needs to be improved!”

An hour later, the two customers shook hands and said goodbye to them cordially.

After they left, Uncle Hu uttered a few words, which served as his evaluation of Chen Xi.

"Can you give me some face? There are other employees here."

"When we were little, I didn't even give you face when I took off your pants. Now you still want face?"

"Depend on!"

Although Uncle Hu was not the oldest person sent this time, he was still Chen Xi's uncle. There was no generation gap between the two, but they got along very well.

"Come on, Uncle Hu, let's go have a cigarette and ask you some questions."

"When did you learn to smoke?"

"High school? Junior high school? I forgot, hahaha!"

The two of them came to the outside of the convention and exhibition center. Chen Xi looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. The sun is so strong in Australia during the day and so cold at night. There are only two words to describe it: uncomfortable!

"Come and smoke some local cigarettes, let me give you a taste!"

Chen Xi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to the other person, then took out a lighter to light it for him. Then, he also lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and began to enjoy this moment of tranquility.

"What the hell is this? It's so hard to draw. I feel like I can't inhale it."

Uncle Hu frowned, picked up the burning cigarette in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Hahaha, it's hard to smoke, right? I've been smoking this stuff for years."

Chen Xi burst into laughter.

"If I were you, smoking this damn thing every day, I would have quit smoking long ago."

Uncle Hu took a deep breath, but it didn't feel strong at all.

He tried hard to finish the cigarette, then took out a pack of cigarettes he brought from home from his pocket and handed one to Chen Xi.

"Uncle Hu, you said that if you know the technology and can find orders for machine tools, can you make them yourself?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this? There seems to be something else behind your words." Hu Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Xi.

"My mother has a few brands and I want to help her, haha." Chen Xi laughed and tried to fool her.

"Processing accuracy is very important. The difference between your mother's machines and ours is not small. Her company's main products are printers and other advertising machines."

"The main reason is that your mother's products conflict with your father's company's products, and your mother's company mainly serves the domestic market, while your father's company serves the global market. The two are not at the same level at all. When your mother divorced, she was arrogant and only took a few small companies..."

"Well, my mother is like this. She has been a little girl since she was young. She has no concept of money and doesn't know how to keep money in her own hands."

"You should take over your father's company in the future. He has more products. He basically has everything your mother's company has."

"What about you? What are your plans? Why don't you ask my dad for a brand and go out and become a provincial governor? Many CEOs do this. There's a lot of money in it."

"Ahem, you really don't treat me as an outsider. You dare to ask any questions."

Uncle Hu coughed lightly and lit another cigarette.

In the previous life, there were a lot of famous machine tools on the market, and behind these brands, without exception, there were inextricable connections with Chen Xi's father.

People outside, and even the bosses of some machine tool brands, mistakenly believe that these brands were created by themselves. In fact, the birth and development of these machine tool brands were silently controlled by Chen's father behind the scenes.

But in the later period, Chen's father could no longer control those people, and they all began to break away from his control and become independent.

As the profits from machine tools became lower, he gave up the domestic market and shifted the focus of his domestic business to finance.

Although he did not give up the machine tool business, he handed it over to the German side for management. After all, it was an old brand with a history of more than 40 years, and Chen's father still had some feelings for it.

Later, it was no longer seen in the domestic market, and only some older machine tool owners still knew about those ancient brands.

"I don't know... I am more optimistic about the foreign market. The domestic market has no future..."

Uncle Hu paused from time to time, as if he was thinking while speaking, and did not directly answer Chen Xi's question.

Chen Xi also knew that he planned to work alone in the future, and if he became a provincial governor, he would be controlled.

He had no funds and no partners in the early stage, so what he meant now was that he should still follow the arrangements of Chen Xi's father.

Chen Xi also knew that it would take several years for Uncle Hu to work on his own, so he wanted to bring him over to his mother's company, but Uncle Hu was obviously not optimistic about his mother's company.

Although my mother was very good to her employees, she was not strong enough in managing the company and her business acumen was not good, so the company gradually closed down.
