Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 779 Another Bad Fate

A Bao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. If he really had to pay compensation according to the contract, all the money he had earned in the past two years would be lost. The most important thing was that with this incident, he would lose all the foreign trade orders from Japan. Japanese companies basically share information when dealing with the outside world.

A Bao gave Qin Hao a grateful smile but said nothing, because he knew that many things between brothers did not need to be said, just a look or a gesture and the other party would get it.

Qin Hao also smiled back at A Bao.

After Abao and Wang Mingzhu calmed down, another problem came to them: should they send someone to Japan, or directly pay Sugimoto Corporation to help with the re-inspection?

"I'd better take people to Japan. The labor costs there are shockingly high. If we really slack off on the work, we will not only not make any money from this order, but we may even lose a lot of money." After thinking for a long time, A Bao made a decision.

Wang Mingzhu objected: "You're bringing people? You can't even speak Japanese."

"If I can't speak it, I can find a translator. It's better than losing money, right?"

"That's all we have to do."

Since then, Wang Mingzhu finally felt relieved and said to A Bao, "Open me a bottle of soda. The coffee is so bitter that it kills me."

"Didn't you just say no?"

"Leave me alone."

Qin Hao and A Bao looked at each other and smiled. This girl is really interesting.

After taking a big gulp of soda, Wang Mingzhu looked at Qin Hao and said gratefully, "Thanks to you this time, those 300 workers didn't lose their jobs."

"You're welcome. Po is my brother, and his business is my business."

A Bao patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Can you two stop using these official words? After all, we are comrades who fought side by side. For the sake of our revolutionary friendship, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"You can eat, but you can't drink, especially you. You have such a low alcohol tolerance but you still imitate others to drink." Wang Mingzhu put her hands on her hips and mercilessly uncovered Abao's scar.

Soon, three people's knowing laughter was heard in the office.

Time was running out, so three days later Abao led the team to Japan. According to what Abao said later, during that time, he witnessed the prosperity of Tokyo and truly felt the gap between Shanghai and Tokyo. At the same time, he also had the motivation to continue to strive.

At the same time, he brought back someone from Japan this time.

Reiko is a woman who has been wandering in Japan for many years.

With the help of Taotao, Lingzi opened a small shop called Night Tokyo on Jinxian Road.

During this period, Qin Hao happened to go to Hong Kong to prepare for the opening of the third Hema boutique supermarket. In Liu Sen's words, he always felt uneasy when Qin Hao was not there.

After the third branch was successfully opened, Qin Hao returned to Shanghai and was taken to Ye Dongjing by Tao Tao to meet Lingzi. Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh that the damn gears of fate were so tightly meshed, and A Bao finally met this woman.

"Lingzi, this is the Ah Hao I often mentioned to you. The three of us are the bare-pants brothers who grew up together."

Before Taotao finished his introduction, Lingzi walked around him and shook Qin Hao's hand with shining eyes.

"You must be Ahao. I often hear Abao mention you. I also heard that you opened the Vientiane Plaza. Before I returned to China, Abao told me that there was such a good department store in Shanghai, but I didn't believe it."

Qin Hao pulled his hand back without leaving a trace: "I didn't open Vientiane Plaza alone, I'm just one of the shareholders"

At this moment, Abao poked his head out from the stairwell and said, "Ahao is here, come up quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"immediately."

Lingzi looked at Qin Hao's back and whispered to Tao Tao: "Why do I feel that you, my brother, are hostile to me?"

"Oh, you think too much. Although Ahao is a big boss, he is a very down-to-earth person and never cares about those things. What's more, you are our friend." Taotao said and chased after him.

In the compartment on the second floor, Qin Hao took advantage of Tao Tao and Ling Zi not coming up yet, sat opposite A Bao, and winked at him: "You and that Ling Zi."

"Don't get me wrong, there's nothing between her and me. We just met when I invited Yamamoto to drink at a nightclub. It turned out that she's from Shanghai too. She helped me go back to the dormitory several times when I got drunk. So I thought to myself that since she helped me, I should give something back, so I helped her rent this store." A Bao explained quickly.

Qin Hao shook his head: "Your biggest shortcoming is that you like to drag your feet. People are earning foreign exchange in Japan, but they came all the way back just because of your words. What do you want? Just for such a small shabby shop?"

"What else can you want? You can't be after me, right?"

Seeing A Bao's playful and cynical expression, Qin Hao simply stopped trying to persuade him.

In fact, it is no wonder that Abao is a little arrogant now. He has millions in his pocket at the age of twenty, his foreign trade business is booming, and he is handsome. He is the young and rich man.

It's inevitable that I will feel swelled when being called "Bao Zong Long" or "Bao Zong Short" every day.

"Just laugh. When you suffer, don't come to me to cry. I won't be your emotional trash can." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.

Before Abao could say anything, Taotao had already gone upstairs, complaining, "What are you two talking about? You're so happy, and you didn't even wait for me to start."

"We were talking about whether you've had any romantic encounters recently."

"Go to hell, you're the one who's in trouble."

Lingzi sat aside for a while and tried several times to join in the conversation of Qin Hao and the other two, but failed each time. After sitting there for a while, she felt it was boring, so she went to the kitchen under the pretext of urging the food to be served.

Upstairs, Qin Hao and his two companions had just had a few drinks when Tao Tao's cell phone rang.

"Oh, I've already told you that Abao and I were drinking, you don't believe me, right? Well, Ahao, say something to her." Taotao handed the cell phone to Qin Hao impatiently.

As soon as Qin Hao took the microphone, he heard Fang Mei's voice coming from the other end.

"Long time no see, Sister Fang, how are you doing recently?"

After hearing Qin Hao's voice, Fang Mei seemed relieved: "I'm fine, Hao brother. Thank you for your concern."

"How are you, Doudou? I brought you all gifts when I went to Hong Kong this time. I'll bring them to you some other day. OK, bye then."

After handing the mobile phone to Tao Tao, Qin Hao stared at him and asked, "Have you had a conflict with Fang Mei again recently?"

Tao Tao's eyes were obviously evasive: "Why would there be any conflict between her and me?"

But seeing Qin Hao's serious expression, he had no choice but to say, "Well, I said it's not okay. Didn't I just go to Golden Phoenix and sing a few songs with the boss lady? Her family saw us."

"You, why don't you go home more often and spend time with your wife and children when you have time? Why are you hanging around outside all day?" Qin Hao said with regret.

Tao Tao complained: "There is really nothing going on between me and the Golden Phoenix boss lady. I just went to her place to eat and sing."

"You didn't do anything physically, but you've already cheated mentally, do you understand?"

"Oh, I don't understand you saying those advanced terms, your mind can still go off the rails."

Seeing that Qin Hao and Tao Tao were about to quarrel, A Bao quickly changed the subject: "By the way, A Hao, I heard from my brother that you are planning to open a MixC Plaza in Shenzhen. Is that true?"

"Well, the discussion over there is almost done. This time I plan to introduce MixC and Hema boutique supermarkets to Shenzhen." Qin Hao naturally knew A Bao's intention. He also knew that without experiencing the pain, there was no way to make Tao Tao, the prodigal son, calm down.

A Bao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this: "If this happens, wouldn't that mean he's just hitting himself?"

"Vanxiang and Hema are taking completely different routes. There may indeed be competition in the early stages, but once customers get used to the two business models, they will choose the shopping model that suits them. The most important thing in doing business is to meet customer needs, not to make choices for customers."

After hearing what Qin Hao said, Abao seemed to be thinking about something, while Taotao was curious: "Then why don't you open Hema in Shanghai?"

"The business environment in Shanghai and Shenzhen is different. To put it bluntly, Shanghai is not as rich as Shenzhen."

Qin Hao took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued, "Hema adopts a membership model, which has a certain shopping threshold. It can also give people a sense of 'identity recognition'. Shanghai is a city that has experienced many hardships. In the early years, it was known as the Paris of the East. Shanghai people have seen the world and have their own set of 'identity recognition' logic."

"But Shenzhen is different. It has only been 10 years since its opening, and only years of real development. People from all over the country have gathered here. Local residents account for less than %. Among them, the rich and middle-class have only become rich recently. Many people are obviously from the mainland, but they insist on learning to speak poor Mandarin like Cantonese people. In such a soil, HEMA is more likely to survive."

Qin Hao has great expectations for Hema, so he attaches great importance to the first store in the mainland. If he opens it, he will either not open it or make sure it is a big success.

A Bao pondered for a long time, raised his glass and drank three cups in a row, blushing and smiling, "I can always learn something from drinking with A Hao."

Tao Tao obviously didn't understand very well, but he still drank three cups. In fact, he envied Qin Hao and A Bao. As trendsetters of the era, they were always popular wherever they went.

But he knew very well that he was not cut out for big business, and he was not willing to work hard for those two taels of silver. In his opinion, as long as there was enough money, it was enough, and there was no need to make himself so tired.

As expected, Taotao got drunk again, and in the end it was Qin Hao and Abao who sent him home.

Watching Fangmei patiently applying a towel to Taotao to cool him down, Abao couldn't help but look envious. He once fantasized about marrying Xuezhi and leading such a simple and happy life.

In fact, it is ironic that what Taotao desperately wants to escape from is what Abao can never get in his entire life.

After saying goodbye to Fangmei, Qin Hao and Abao also went home.

A week later, Qin Hao handed over the affairs of Vientiane Plaza to Mr. Xu and left for Shenzhen.

Shenzhen in August 1989 was just like its hot temperature, shrouded in an atmosphere of urgency and heat.

Dusty construction sites can be seen everywhere on the streets, and tall buildings are rising from the ground. It is hard to imagine that this bustling city has developed from an initial small fishing village to what it is today in just twenty years.

Slogans like "Time is money, efficiency is life" are posted all over the streets and alleys, and everyone seems to be racing against time.

Qin Hao could feel an atmosphere here that was completely different from that in Shanghai. In Shanghai, being half an hour late for business was common, but in Shenzhen, being one minute late was considered disrespectful to business partners.

Here, everyone attaches great importance to time and is racing against time to make as much profit as possible.

When doing business in Shanghai, profits are often not made clear, but in Shenzhen, every penny must be calculated clearly.

The revolving restaurant on the top floor of Shenzhen World Trade Center.

When Liu Sen saw Qin Hao, he immediately came up to him and gave him a bear hug.

"We're going to do something big this time."

Qin Hao laughed secretly. From the tone of his voice, Liu Sen now looked down on the scale of the three Hema supermarkets in Hong Kong.

"When did you come?" Qin Hao came to the window of the revolving restaurant and overlooked the vibrant city in front of him.

Liu Sen spread his hands: "I came here two days ago."

"So impatient?"

"When it comes to making money, it's better to make it faster than slower."

"Haha~~~"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After they sat down, the two of them ate and chatted. Qin Hao said seriously, "How are your funds prepared? The investment this time will be relatively large."

"It's the same as last time. We account for 2.5% of the 35 million RMB investment. million RMB will be received in three installments. The initial million RMB has been deposited into the company's public account."

When talking about serious matters, Liu Sen's face was also serious.

Qin Hao nodded: "I have also transferred the initial 50 million RMB to the company's account. The rest will be paid in two installments and will be available next year at the latest."

Although MixC has a huge cash flow every day, Qin Hao did not touch the money because he wanted to keep it for opening branches. Shanghai is so big that one MixC is far from enough to meet the demand.

This money was cash he withdrew from the Hong Kong stock market. A month ago, he had sold all his Hong Kong stocks. On the one hand, the Hong Kong stock market had stabilized after the stock market crash in 1987. A stable stock market is suitable for investment but not for speculation.

In addition to the money converted into 18 million RMB, the rest was converted by Qin Hao into billion yen and invested in the Japanese stock market.

In a few months, the Japanese economic bubble will be burst, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of it. Qin Hao has always been ruthless when it comes to taking advantage of Japan.

"By the way, the leader of the Shenzhen Investment Promotion Bureau has invited us to dinner tomorrow afternoon. It should be that the land issue has been approved." Liu Sen's face was full of joy as he spoke. In his opinion, this was not just a plot of land, but a treasure pot.

"Then wish us all the best."

"Great wealth!"

Qin Hao and Liu Sen clinked their glasses and smiled at each other. After working together for so many years, the two have become more and more in sync with each other.

The next afternoon, Qin Hao and Liu Sen came to a seafood restaurant.

At the door, I ran into a group of people head-on.
