Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

The day after Lawrence and Ku Siwei met, the Hong Kong city government invited some of the leaders of the march to have a very candid conversation, which fully demonstrated the underworld of Hong Kong under British rule.

At the same time, the government also told the demonstrators that this was just a suggestion from some people. The government did not even include him as a proposal, and it would be even more nonsense to pass it.

As a result, the archway of an enlightened government was erected, and the marchers also received guarantees from the government. In short, it was another victory. The government calmed the people's dissatisfaction and calmed their emotions. This was a victory for the underworld government. It was also a textbook colonial management victory for Britain.

The parade team also won, and they no longer had to learn Cantonese.

Newspapers also win because sales are increasing these days.

In short, everyone wins and there is no loser.

How nice!

Well, it’s really good!

It's just that those who are interested will find that the names Su Siwei and Marvel are mentioned less and less in English newspapers, and photos of the Marvel Building appear on the pages of English newspapers less and less.

It seems that the British are downplaying Su Siwei intentionally or unintentionally.

It's just that this kind of downplaying is just a cover-up. In Chinese newspapers and among the people, the legend of Su Siwei is getting better and better. In the eyes of the people, Su Siwei, a rich man, needs at least several women to have dinner every night. Celebrities are waiting on them, and they don’t even have to chew their food themselves. The female celebrities feed them mouth to mouth.

Even when taking a shower, there are several naked female celebrities waiting on her, and a large tub of fresh milk must be squeezed out an hour ago. Don't use it for more than an hour!

Nothing can satisfy these ordinary citizens more than arranging the private life of a big man who is beyond their imagination.

Fortunately, Gu Siwei didn't hear it. If he heard the female star chewing the food mouth to mouth, Gu Siwei might be able to spit out the stomach acid directly. What a disgusting thing!

In fact, Gu Siwei is very busy with work every day. He works after dinner every day until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. There will be a little rest time in the middle, running and playing ball. The rest of the time is not The only way to see people is to sit in front of the desk.

Even if Gu Siwei repeatedly reduces his workload, Gu Siwei's workload is still increasing. Some things must be decided by him, the chairman of Marvel, and others cannot replace him.

This is the core part of his power.

The whole matter of popularizing Cantonese has subsided, and ordinary people don't think anything of it. Their lives are still just daily necessities, but for some wealthy people, this is not the case.

Just like now, a group of people gathered together, the ladies were playing mahjong, and five or six men gathered together to smoke and chat.

"This time the man named Su was seen through by the British."

A plump man in his fifties, who speaks Shanghai-style Mandarin.

"So what if he sees through it? What can the British do to him? Deal with him? He has the rice bowl of a hundred thousand people in his hands. If you dare to deal with it today, tomorrow he will dare to drive these people to the governor's door to beg for food. Young people today are much more promising than we were back then.”

Another middle-aged man took out the cigar from his mouth with a smile, took a look at it, flicked the ashes, and continued to put it in his mouth.

It's obvious that this person still has some appreciation for Gu Siwei.

"Old Chen, you have business dealings with Marvel. What do you think of him?"

"You really think highly of me. What do you call me doing business?"

The man called Lao Chen is younger, about forty to less than fifty years old. He is quite thin and energetic. When he was young, he seemed to be a handsome guy.

"He's a supplier," said the man next to him with a smile.

"The chances of me meeting Guan Youpeng are not very high, let alone Boss Su."

"You have such a big business and you can't even meet him?" the person who asked the question said in surprise.

"A business of three to four million dollars is big in our eyes, but it's nothing in other people's homes," Lao Chen said with a wry smile and shook his head.

This is a bit of a pretense, but it doesn't go far. With a business of four to five million US dollars, you really can't see Gu Siwei, but you can definitely see Guan Youpeng, but there are not many opportunities. .

"Old Chen, what do you think about what Zhang Zhenmin said last time?" Another person asked.

Old Chen grimaced again: "Old Liu, I really don't have time. You know I can't even finish my current list, so I don't have time to think about anything else."

"Profits are better than Marvel!"

Lao Chen said: "I don't know about him yet? It's just a boast. People in Hong Kong say it's better than Marvel's list, but what the hell is that nonsense? If you believe him, you'll be spoiled for choice."

He said this on his lips, but in his heart Lao Chen had already cursed her, okay? What a fart! You haven't settled the last debt yet, so why do you really want to play this trick with yourself this time?

"Zhang Zhenmin is really bad at making payments. I think it's better not to do his business if you can. Every time he asks for money, he acts like a grandson. Many times he has to give discounts. Last time, he paid 1 million. In the end, only 800,000 yuan was given, and the 800,000 yuan was delayed for more than a year..."

"Then you still answer every time?" One person asked with a smile after hearing this.

"If I can get an order from Marvel, I won't be on his order anymore. Whoever does it will be my grandson!" The person who spoke directly swore.

"Who lets people hold the channels in their hands?" Another person said with a smile at this moment.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man, also about forty or fifty years old, walked in.

"Good guys! It's like a fairyland. How many cigarettes have you smoked?"

"Lao You, why are you here so late? We are about to have dinner."

Everyone started to complain.

Lao You, who came in last, said, "I wouldn't have come here if it weren't for you. I'm so busy today."

"What are you busy with?"

"I'm busy with Marvel's orders. Marvel has released another batch of orders. I'm thinking about upgrading the equipment and hiring some people..." Lao Youyou said about his situation.

"Have you seen it? It's Lao You Shutan."

"It's you and Lao Chen among us. We are as tired as dogs all day long, and the money we make is not enough to feed the dogs." Someone showed an envious expression.

Lao You laughed and said: "No way, Marvel's job is not easy to take."

He said this, but the smile on his face was never too small.

Who doesn't envy him now? That is to say, his vision. When Marvel was just starting out, he was thinking about doing Marvel's business. When others were afraid to invest in new machines because they were afraid that they would not even be able to make back the money from the new machines, he always wanted to do it. The family's house and car were sold, and they borrowed a lot of debt to upgrade the machinery and equipment in the factory.

Others thought he was crazy, but he was right!

Marvel's order allowed him to earn back the profits of the previous five years in just one year.

"I heard that your factory has expanded again?"

Lao You said: "Well, we rented two more floors. We are adjusting the equipment these days. It is mainly a metal workshop. After this workshop is put into use, it can double our current manufacturing accuracy. Many precision joints can be made. ”.

"By the way, Zhang Zhenmin has an order now. The profit is good and the technical requirements are quite high."

After hearing this, Lao You waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I'm not used to doing business with companies outside the Marvel Chamber of Commerce. Firstly, it's troublesome to ask for money. Secondly, the contract is not effective. Besides, I really don't have time."

"Didn't you say it was expanded? Marvel's list has been added again?"

Lao You said: "Marvel's orders have not increased. It is a toy company in Japan that ordered a batch of movable joints from us. The newly expanded factory's production capacity can meet their orders. It will not be available for at least six months. Go arrange other orders."

"Good guy, now we are all doing orders from Europe, America and Japan," everyone said with envy.

Lao You said: "You can do it too. The main thing is to upgrade the machine. If it continues to be the same as before, it will definitely not work now."

At this point, Lao You nodded his head: "This thing is profit. In the past, we talked about hard money and hard money. That kind of thinking is outdated.

In today's era, what is said is that you can make money when others don't have you, and when others have you, you are strong.

I finally understood that to make money, I would rather eat a bite of fairy peaches than a basket of rotten peaches. The profit from one bite of fairy peaches is worth hundreds of baskets of rotten peaches."

"We really want to apply, but apart from Marvel's list, there is nowhere else on the list. Most of them are handicraft workshops. Otherwise, how about you take us here?"

Lao You has no choice. Now those who want to make Marvel orders can be arranged from Wan Chai to Tai Po. They are lagging behind. Business matters are falling step by step.

In fact, these people know it. There is no need to cite other examples. You only need to look at Lao You. In the past, he was always one of the few. Now, his net worth has almost doubled several times, and the factory is even more employing people. We have gathered nearly two thousand people. If things continue like this in the next few years, I am afraid that people will not come to gatherings of people like me.

The reason is very simple. With a net worth of 100 million, there is no time to hang out with people worth 20 to 30 million all day long. In Hong Kong, depending on your net worth, the circles you hang out in will naturally be different.

"There is really an opportunity now. Marvel is going to release a batch of orders. The technical requirements are not high. It is simple, just key chains with patterns printed on the leather, printed umbrellas, etc..." Lao You said.

Lao Chen asked: "Why didn't I know?"

Lao You said: "Perhaps suppliers above level C should be selected first."

Lao Chen understood after hearing this, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't it true that the strong get stronger?"

Now Lao Chen is only a D-level supplier. Although it is only one level away from Laoyou's C-level supplier, the difference is huge.

Marvel's suppliers are divided into five levels: A, B, C, and Ding.

These are not ordinary companies, such as Shenbin Electric Co., Ltd. and Dongxiangji Co., Ltd. This is a Grade A supplier and belongs to the circle of Marvel's core suppliers. It is not something that ordinary companies can put their hands into.

Starting from Grade B, they are general suppliers, depending on their size and technical strength.

For example, Lao You is level C and has more power to pick orders than Lao Chen.

"Then I have to ask." Lao Chen thought that he would call Marvel and ask while waiting for work tomorrow.

"Don't be in a hurry, you definitely can't eat so much! The total amount is almost more than 200 million US dollars," Lao You said with a smile.

hiss!

Everyone present took a breath.

"You're not going to brag, are you?"

Lao You said: "You will know tomorrow whether I am bragging or not. Like you, you will most likely receive the news. Your factory is really much better than ordinary people. You will definitely have a chance this time."

"That's so damn good"

Several people were refreshed upon hearing this.

As soon as the news came out, who was still thinking about eating, so everyone ended the meal hastily and went home to wait for dawn the next day.

There are many people who are thinking about these people. Many of them are eagerly waiting to take the order from Marvel. They are determined in their hearts. Once they receive the order, they must upgrade the equipment in the factory and strive to get rid of the current situation. These days, dealing with a bunch of people who have no credibility is so tiring.

Baba waited until it was time to go to work and arrived at the office as soon as possible. In less than half an hour, he received a call from Marvel and made an appointment to have a chat with Marvel.

So everyone cheered up and ran towards the old Marvel headquarters.

No one realizes that some of the low-cost manufacturing companies in Hong Kong are unknowingly starting to upgrade their technology.
