The Rebirth of Shazhu: Starting from Staying Away from Beasts

Xu Damao immediately laughed and said, "Hehehe, okay, but I'll have to trouble you for dinner tonight, Shazhu!

I haven't tasted your cooking for many years, and I feel a little craving for it when I think of it occasionally."

"No problem! Leave it to me!" After saying that, Xu Damao led He Yuzhu into the kitchen.

There was no distinction between the two of them as guests, and it seemed that neither of them regarded the other as an outsider.

He Yuzhu put on her apron skillfully, and then started to prepare various ingredients...

Although the Lou family has many electrical appliances that cannot be seen in the old city, these things are for He Yuzhu who came back in the future.

He could perform all these functions skillfully, which surprised Xu Damao and his wife.

……

Father and Mother Lou returned home quickly and went into the kitchen as soon as they got home.

Seeing He Yuzhu busy, the two of them quickly stepped forward and greeted him.

“Oh, my, I’m so sorry, Shazhu. I have to ask you to cook after you have come all the way here.” Father Lou said with a smile.

"No, no, it doesn't matter. No need to be so polite." He Yuzhu responded quickly.

Lou Zhenhua sighed: "Silly Zhu! I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."

"Yes, Mr. Lou, I also thought it would take at least ten years!"

Lou's mother asked enthusiastically, "Shazhu, I haven't had your cooking in years. We are in for a treat tonight."

"I'm just in a hurry today, so I'll just make a few home-cooked dishes tonight. I hope they suit your tastes." He Yuzhu replied modestly.

Amid the pleasantries between Mr. Lou, Mrs. Lou and He Yuzhu, one beautifully presented dish after another was served on the table.

These dishes are delicious and mouth-watering.

At the dinner table, Lou's father and mother asked He Yuzhu about the situation in Sijiu City.

They heard that there was looting and smashing everywhere in the mainland, and that many capitalists and entrepreneurs like them had been arrested.

These rumors made them worried and uneasy.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, indicating that these rumors were not groundless, but they were not that serious.

He briefly told the three people about some of the things that had happened in the mainland in recent years.

Lou Zhenhua was shocked after hearing this. He had the broadest horizons, so he knew very well that if he stayed in Sijiu City, he would face huge difficulties.

I couldn't help but feel grateful to He Yuzhu.

If He Yuzhu had not insisted on persuading them to leave Sijiu City, they would probably have found it difficult to escape this disaster.

Lou Zhenhua raised the wine glass in front of him and said to He Yuzhu:

"Shazhu, this is a toast to you! Thank you for your advice and help back then. It helped us avoid a disaster."

After saying this, he drank it all in one gulp to express his respect and gratitude to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu understood Lou Zhenhua's intention, so he picked up his glass and said:

"Mr. Lou, you are so polite. Let's have a drink together."

After that, the two of them drank it all in one gulp without saying anything else.

After putting down his wine glass, Lou Zhenhua finally spoke:

"Silly Zhu, don't call me Mr. Lou anymore. Just call me Uncle Lou. It's more intimate this way. What do you think?"

"Okay, everything is up to you!" He Yuzhu quickly nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, He Yuzhu explained in detail the purpose of his visit to Hong Kong in front of Lou Zhenhua.

When he learned that the purpose of He Yuzhu's trip was to find an agent for Red Star brand TVs.

Lou Zhenhua immediately showed great interest.

After all, he founded the Red Star Factory himself and expanded it step by step.

Although the TV factory was expanded after he left, he still had deep feelings and an inseparable obsession with the Red Star Factory.

"Silly Zhu, what are the conditions, prices, and agency area your factory has provided us with?

Talk to Uncle Lou, he is very interested in this matter!" Lou Zhenhua asked He Yuzhu expectantly.

He Yuzhu pondered for a moment and thought to himself: After all, we are old acquaintances, there is really no need to trick Lou Zhenhua.

However, considering the current selling prices of televisions on the market, the pricing should not be too low.

Once the price is firmly set, it will be difficult to adjust the price flexibly if you encounter competitors in the future.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to maintain a certain amount of flexibility first.

He Yuzhu said to Lou Zhenhua with a serious expression:

"Uncle Lou, the lowest price the factory offers right now is 280 yuan per unit, but that doesn't include shipping costs.

The shipping cost from Beijing to Guangzhou is actually not that much, probably only around three hundred yuan per unit.

The specific cost still needs to be determined by communication with the railway station.”

When Lou Zhenhua heard that the TV set only cost 280 yuan, he was ecstatic.

As an expert who has been in the business world for many years, he knows very well that wholesale sales at this price will bring huge profit margins.

So, he readily accepted the price offered by He Yuzhu without hesitation.

He Yuzhu responded with a smile:

"Uncle Lou, this is the lowest price the factory gives me.

In addition, regarding the settlement method of payment, the department hopes to pay in US dollars or British pounds.

The second reason is that I want you to negotiate and add some money to my offer."

The first point was basically understood by everyone present, after all, the economic development in the mainland is slow.

A large amount of foreign exchange is urgently needed to promote the development of various undertakings, so the demand for foreign currency is very urgent.

Hong Kong is a free trade port.

It has always been one of the international financial and trade centers with abundant foreign exchange resources.

And with John Bull's support behind the scenes, it was naturally easy to obtain foreign currencies such as British pounds.

But why do we need to add some additional quotations on top of the factory’s quotation?

Although Lou Zhenhua had some doubts in his mind, he couldn't help but ask.

"Shazhu, we can understand that the payment for the goods must be made in foreign currency.

But why should we add some money to the factory's quotation? Wouldn't it reduce the profit?"

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e also expressed their confusion.

"Yeah, silly, the price has gone up, so the profit has gone down!"

"Yes, wouldn't it be better if the purchase price could be cheaper?"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, then slowly explained:

“There are many reasons for this, let me explain them slowly.

First of all, the country is in a difficult period now and the economy is backward.

Need to get as much profit as possible to support development.

This move will not only relieve the pressure on the country, but also earn you a good reputation.”

Lou Zhenhua sighed softly, and her mother patted her on the back gently.

Lou Xiao'e, however, looked indignant, as she felt her family had been treated unfairly.
