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

"Oh, I always thought I was good at speaking. People say I'm very eloquent, the best in China. I didn't expect that the new generation will surpass the old generation." After the meeting, Feng Yun looked at Chen Xi and sighed meaningfully.

"No, no, compared to General Feng, I am still very young. Young people can easily be provoked by a few words. If General Feng hadn't given me a pre-war mobilization, I probably wouldn't have the courage to go on stage and speak. I have to thank you for this." As Chen Xi spoke, he pulled Feng Yun's hand and shook it.

"..." This made the big boss Feng Yun not know what to say for a moment.

He always thought he was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't expect to run into someone even more powerful.

"I heard from President Lin that the association is going to cooperate with Tianya Forum. I think that instead of cooperating with an outdated website that is on the verge of bankruptcy, it is better to cooperate with a large enterprise with all our heart and soul. Our Aba Aba Group will definitely bring the Returned Overseas Chinese Association to a new height, what do you think?" Feng Yun looked at Lin Xi, then said to Chen Xi.

"Mr. Feng is right, but the scale of the Aba Aba Group is too large, and the benefits that the association can obtain are limited. Oh, I heard that the companies that cooperated with your company ended up being acquired and then went bankrupt. I don't know if this rumor is true or not..."

"..."

Chen Xi's words made Feng Yun shut up again. This time he had met his match.

The two had talked about this in their previous lives, but Chen Xi didn't say much because he was too lazy to argue with the other party. Because every time he talked about controversial issues, Feng Yun would always use some strange reasons to shut him up.

He had his revenge in this life. After living again, Chen Xi's eloquence seemed to have become more fluent.

"Hehehe." Zhao Lingshan tried hard to suppress her laughter and covered her mouth.

"The conference is over. Vice President, you haven't been to the headquarters of our Returned Overseas Chinese Association yet, right? Are you free tomorrow?" Lin Xi suddenly made an invitation.

"Well, no problem." Chen Xi agreed readily. As the vice president, he had never been to the headquarters yet, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Boy Chen, see you next time." Feng Yun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, without a trace of unhappiness on his face.

In the evening, in a Chinese restaurant.

"Come, try our Huajing delicacies." Feng Jialun pointed to the roast duck on the table.

"Fortunately, you didn't treat him to soy milk and luzhu." Chen Xi joked.

"I think braised pork is okay, as for bean juice..." Feng Jialun suddenly remembered the bowl of bubbling water-like substance and couldn't help wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Xi, I heard a lot at the conference today, and there are some things I can't say at the meeting, but now that there are only a few of us, I can say whatever I want." Rogers said with his arms crossed.

"You say."

"I have traveled all over the world and have been to exchanges in every place. Of course, the rules they set are also different. However, the securities trading here seems to be very different from that in other places. In short, when a problem arises, the regulatory authorities will propose corresponding measures, but these measures seem quite ridiculous, and those measures that are not ridiculous are actually not implemented properly. You know what I mean." Rogers smiled at Chen Xi.

"I see." Chen Xi nodded, thinking that even this foreigner could see the clue to this supervision issue, but some of our own people still couldn't see it.

"In our place, trading operations mostly rely on data analysis, and traders and analysts are basically graduates of finance majors. But Qiansui made me realize that in your place, people who work in finance may have only learned some basic knowledge, or have not learned it at all..."

"Well, haha, just follow the local customs." Chen Xi smiled awkwardly.

"On the contrary, when you do transactions here, those data are actually dispensable, and it's all about relationships and loopholes. That's why I'm not in a hurry to invest, and instead go around various cities first. In fact, I've been here many years ago, but the market was not active at that time, the plate was too small, and there were many restrictions, so people like us didn't even look at it." Rogers really said whatever he wanted, and anyway, there were only a few of them present.

At the dinner table, Rogers kept explaining some loopholes and drawbacks in our capital market. His intention was to start from there, which would make making money much easier.

However, Feng Jialun frowned after listening to this. He said nothing, but just kept observing Chen Xi's expression.

After dinner, return to the hotel.

Zhao Lingshan took off her high heels and lay down on the bed, then propped her head up with her hands and looked at him and said, "You and Rogers were having a great chat at the dinner table just now."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Xi took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"You were chatting so enthusiastically, didn't you notice that Brother Feng didn't say much?"

“I found it.”

"He was looking at you while you were talking to Rogers."

"Oh? Some of the things Rogers said may conflict with Brother Feng's business philosophy. He probably wants to see what my attitude is." Chen Xi analyzed based on Zhao Lingshan's words.

"I don't think Brother Feng is a simple businessman. Rogers just said so many things. I did a rough calculation. If Brother Feng cooperates with Rogers with his strength, the money they can earn in the capital market in a year is simply countless..." Zhao Lingshan sat up and put her arms around his neck.

"Hey, some money is not easy to earn. Even if nothing goes wrong now, it may not go wrong in the future. I don't think Brother Feng is the kind of person who would run away with the money. His current net worth is enough to last for dozens of lifetimes. Why bother with this?"

"This guy never complains about having too much money. He can actually resist such temptation, which shows that he is not an ordinary person." Zhao Lingshan analyzed.

"I also know that he is not an ordinary person, and I will not cooperate with ordinary people, haha. At present, I am still following Brother Feng. It seems that he does not want me to use this loophole method to cooperate with Rogers to make money. Then I will be honest and make money in an open and aboveboard manner."

"Hehe, you are not an ordinary person either."

"Why do you say that?"

"I sleep with you every day, and you can still resist touching me. Do you think you are still an ordinary man?"

"Okay, you dare to make fun of me, let me show you how I'm going to deal with you." Chen Xi pretended to take off his clothes, and Zhao Lingshan jumped up from the bed with a smile, and the two began to play the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the room.

The next day.

Xinlu City, Hengxiao Group branch.

"Dad, why don't you let me cooperate with Chen Xi? His materials are so cheap, Zheng Wanlong is using them. As long as we alienate the relationship between them, wouldn't it be easy to destroy each other's business? What's more, those materials are really inexpensive and of good quality, while our construction materials are so expensive that we even need to bid..." Xu Jian stood in front of his father, the Xu family, and complained dissatisfiedly.

"Do you think you are very smart? You are my eldest son, and I thought you would inherit my cleverness, but I didn't expect you to think your little tricks are very clever. Cheap? Good quality and low price? I don't think much of these." Xu Jia said disdainfully, holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Dad, are you crazy? You have cheap goods but you don't use the expensive ones. Isn't this increasing the cost of construction?"

"Where do Chen Xi's goods come from? I'll find out with a quick investigation. Do you know why I don't buy from the source? I'm not stupid. Because I can get cheaper materials. You'll know in a moment." Xu Jia continued to smoke his cigar, then shook his head at his son. He graduated from a prestigious university, but he was so self-righteous. He was completely stupid because of studying too much.

As for the Xu family, they have an average level of education, but their business is so big, so they must have some qualities that others don't have.

No matter how miserable Boss Xu's life was later, no matter how many people cursed and laughed at him online, no one can deny his ability.

Some people don’t know Xu Jia at all, but in fact he is a very powerful person.

How should I put it? First, Xu Jia is smart and capable. Second, he is generous. Third, although he is a big boss, he handles all the work personally, which shows that he is very hardworking and serious. Fourth, he is very good at building relationships and dealing with people.

Why do I say this? Because there is a possibility of suffering losses when doing business. However, Boss Xu always makes other businessmen suffer losses. The most he suffers is losses from the bank and some non-businessmen.

Just ask yourself, which big boss has not been cheated by him? This is a bit similar to Boss Jia.

Even Feng Yun, who was known as a smart man, was cheated by Boss Xu.

Speaking of generosity, the Xu family is very generous. Those who deal in building materials generally have a profit of about 10%. As long as there is in-depth cooperation with Boss Xu, the profit will be increased by more than 5%. However, this was the situation in the early days of Hengxiao Group.

Besides, he personally supervises the work, and is very careful and serious, so the quality of construction is guaranteed.

For example, there was a waterproof material company that had cooperated with Hengxiao Group for ten years and was Hengxiao's largest supplier. However, one time, the Xu family suddenly conducted a surprise inspection because they were afraid that the supplier's materials were fake.

This revealed that this unit was using all non-standard materials, or inferior products, and the cost difference between non-standard and national standard materials was more than 20%.

According to the rules of the building materials industry, if you do not intentionally falsify and deliberately use non-standard materials, then the indicators are between qualified and unqualified. However, if all indicators are far from the standard, this is intentional falsification.

Because of this, Boss Xu was very angry and in a rage he terminated his cooperation with the company.

It can be seen that Boss Xu is very concerned about quality. Although the company is so large that there will always be people who take kickbacks and cause trouble, he is also trying his best to control it.

In terms of dealing with people, the Xu family has close relationships with all kinds of people, and some artists are also on good terms with him, including Chen Xi's old acquaintances - Jackie Chan and Shui Ye, etc.

"Son, even though my business is so big now, I still personally take care of the materials, including the bidding. You have been to big restaurants, where there are so many employees, but what you don't know is that the boss will personally go to buy ingredients before dawn every day, for fear that the chef will cheat. It's the same principle. The higher-ups attach great importance to the quality of construction. If you want to get rich, don't be clever in this regard."

"But, Dad, does this have anything to do with whether the materials are cheap or not?" Xu Jian looked confused.

"Of course. The reason why the quality of materials varies is that it's mostly because they are cheap. If you want both cheapness and good quality materials, it depends on your own ability." Xu Jia grinned and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Dong dong."

"Come in."

"Boss Xu should have a meeting."

"understood."

Suddenly there was a knock on the office door, and the secretary came in and began to report. Xu Jia nodded and put out his cigar.

"Come on, son, watch how your father does things and learn from him." Xu Jia patted his son's shoulder.

Xu Jian shrugged and followed his father out helplessly.

In the conference room, material suppliers arrived one after another.

After the Xu family sat down, they began to speak: "Since our Hengxiao Group settled in Xinlu, we have acquired many plots of land, but these are just a drizzle. Many of you present have had cooperative relations with Hengxiao, and you also know the attitude of my Xu family towards the quality of building materials, so I emphasize again that quality is the most critical. Because Hengxiao Group has just come to Jianghuai Province for development, it has not had much dealings with local bosses, but it doesn't matter. As long as we cooperate once, we can cooperate for a long time in the future. This time, Hengxiao Group is not only developing in Jianghuai Province, but also in other provinces, and the building materials needed are a lot. Of course, in terms of centralized procurement of materials, we also need a price that satisfies us. Let me first reveal to you that the materials we need today are more than ten times that of last year! In other words, it may be twenty times or thirty times! Future cooperation will start from the construction of Xinlu this time!"

"Wow, more than ten times!"

"So if it was 10 million before, does it mean it is 100 million now?"

"No, it could be 200 million or 300 million. If the scale is larger, it could be several billion."

"Whoever takes this order will become rich."

The bidders started talking one by one.

Even if the quoted price is lower, as long as the purchase quantity is large, you can make more profit than before.

"Everyone may be considering the price issue. I just said that as long as the supplier satisfies our Heng Xiao, then I can satisfy him. I think everyone has heard about what my Xu family has done." Xu Jia said with a smile.

The Xu family's move seemed simple, and it had been done before in other countries or industries. But it set a precedent in my country's real estate industry.

This may seem like a simple move, but it is a ruthless move in the real estate industry in this era. Why do I say that? Because no real estate company in China has ever done this before, which makes Hengxiao's cost about 10% lower than that of other developers.

The Xu family wants to lower the price to the lowest, but at the same time let the suppliers make a lot of money. No one can refuse this temptation.

As a result, suppliers on site began to quote their lowest prices.

Xu Jian was dumbfounded watching from the side. He felt that there was nothing special about this trick, it was just a trick, but he was too disdainful to use it. The problem was that the attitude of these bosses surprised him.

What twenty times, thirty times? Haven’t they thought that it’s all fake?

This person's mind is really strange.

Huajing, the headquarters of the Overseas Returnees Association, is located in a prosperous area.

Chen Xi and Zhao Lingshan looked at everything here curiously. It looked more like a company than an association.

Printers and computers are all available, and you can even see quite a few people busy working inside. (End of this chapter)
