I am doing well in the Siheyuan
Chapter 118 Do You Think I Am Suitable?
When Xu Damao saw it, the last trace of hesitation in his heart disappeared.
"Deputy Director Li, please stay and tell us what kind of business you are doing now?"
"What's your guess?"
During this period, if you wanted to do business in the mainland without any background, you would most likely be engaging in smuggling.
Fortunately, the review of property is not as strict as before.
The market is also gradually trying to open up to the outside world.
Xu Damao is a smart man with a keener sense of smell than ordinary people. He understands that an era where money is paramount is about to come.
In the past, status and position were important, and the amount of money was not important, as every household was pretty much the same anyway.
But now it’s different. People like Li Huaide, who are rich, have status, position and dignity.
At this moment, due to file problems, Xu Damao has been unable to find a satisfactory job.
It's a rare opportunity to come across this, how could he let it go easily.
Thinking of this, the smile on Xu Damao's face suddenly became more flattering.
"Deputy Director Li, you are not coming back just to visit your family this time, are you? Although the control over speculation in the city is no longer as strict as it was in the past, supervision is still in place. If you want to engage in this kind of business here, you will need someone familiar with the local situation to help you manage it."
"what do you mean……"
"Deputy Director Li, do you think I'm suitable?"
Li Huaide raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to go to the sea with me too?"
"I think a lot!"
Seeing that Xu Damao was not joking, Li Huaide did not hesitate.
"Okay, get in the car, I'll take you to see someone!"
Xu Damao immediately smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles.
After about a quarter of an hour's drive, Li Huaide took him to a restaurant.
The decoration of the store is extraordinary and magnificent, so the consumption is naturally not low.
It was the first time that Xu Damao stepped into such a place. He looked around and seemed quite restrained.
It seems that Li Huaide has really turned the tables and is now the master.
If I could really get on his boat, I would be able to avenge my previous humiliation.
"Stop talking for a while and follow my instructions."
After brief instructions, the two walked into a private room under the guidance of the waiter.
Inside the room, a gorgeously dressed woman in her thirties had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Who is this friend?"
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was delayed by some business.
Let me introduce you. This is Ms. You Fengxia, and this is an old acquaintance of mine, Xu Damao. "
Li Huaide introduced the two people to each other.
"Since you are an old friend of Mr. Li, you must be from an extraordinary family. Hello."
You Fengxia extended a hand gracefully, which instantly made Xu Damao's heart flutter.
Seeing Xu Damao still acting like an old man, Li Huaide smiled and said calmly, "Damo, President You is greeting you."
"Ah? Oh, hello, hello. I'm not from a famous family. I worked as a projectionist in a steel factory for a few years. Now, I'm just an unemployed vagrant."
Hearing Xu Damao's account of his life, You Fengxia frowned slightly.
"Mr. Li, didn't you ask me to come here today to discuss business?"
Naturally, the fewer people who know about what they do, the better.
“Don’t worry, Mr. You, Damao was once an old subordinate of mine and is absolutely reliable.
We want to expand this business in the capital, and he may be of some help.
As for the start-up capital, don't worry, I will definitely help you raise it."
Li Huaide and You Fengxia sang the same tune, while Xu Damao was stuck in the middle and was confused.
"Deputy Director Li, what about the start-up capital you mentioned just now?"
After some thought, Xu Damao also figured out some clues.
"Da Mao, haven't you always been curious about what business I'm in now? Since you're here, I might as well tell you that I'm mainly engaged in the home appliance industry now."
"Home appliances?"
Xu Damao was shocked, his previous guess turned out to be correct.
Home appliances such as televisions are exclusively sold by the State Mechanical and Electrical Corporation.
There is a complete industrial chain from the TV factory to the electromechanical company.
If it is imported goods, they need to be produced in overseas factories, clear customs, and then arrive at the mechanical and electrical company, and finally be sold to ordinary citizens with tickets.
Apart from this, there are no other formal distribution channels.
The business that Li Huaide and You Fengxia were engaged in was undoubtedly smuggling.
But in this era, only the bold can eat their fill, and if you want to make big money, you have to take unconventional measures.
"Deputy Director Li, President You, aren't you afraid that this will be exposed?"
“Haha, since we dare to do this kind of business, we naturally have stable purchasing and sales channels.
There are risks, but they are nothing compared to the potential benefits.”
Knowing that Xu Damao was only interested in making a name for himself, the words "obey the law" were not in his dictionary.
Li Huaide continued to incite: "As long as you have been to Hong Kong, you will know that the world outside is much more exciting than Beijing, but this is only for the rich.
The gap between the rich and the poor will only get bigger. If you don’t have money, in the eyes of the rich, you are not even as good as their dog! If you only rely on the salary of a few dozen yuan in the factory, you will never be able to hold your head high and live a life of dignity! "
These words were like a sharp knife piercing Xu Damao's heart.
Just as Li Huaide expected, Xu Damao didn't care whether the way of making money was legitimate.
"Deputy Director Li, I understand what you mean, and I, Xu Damao, am not a timid person.
But you know my family's situation. We can't afford much money, but there are many stupid and rich people in our yard.
As for the start-up capital, I can help you raise it, but I ask for a 10% commission.”
"No."
Faced with Xu Damao's request to get something for nothing, You Fengxia firmly disagreed.
“We can raise enough start-up capital without your help, it just takes a little longer.
You want to take 10% without spending a penny, there is no such business logic in the world."
You Fengxia knew that doing this kind of business was about balancing risks and benefits.
She is the organizer of the entire operation. Even if Xu Damao participates in the layout, the risk he will have to bear is the greatest.
Xu Damao did not invest a penny and was almost an outsider, so he basically did not have to bear any responsibility.
Therefore, as he has the lowest risk, his returns naturally cannot be too high.
What's more, You Fengxia has the monopoly advantage of upstream purchasing channels.
What Xu Damao can provide is only a financing channel, not monopoly resources.
As long as there are supply channels, there will always be people willing to take the risk and invest.
"Then I'll help you find someone to provide the start-up capital. It can't be that there's no benefit at all, right?"
You Fengxia did a quick calculation and came up with a ratio that she could accept.
"We can only give you a commission of 5% at most. Don't underestimate this 5%. If you can raise enough start-up capital, this money will be more than all the wages you have earned in the past few years!"
