The Great Era of Siheyuan

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, Zhu Guoqiang sat there and looked at him for a long time. It was undeniable that what he said made some sense, but only a little bit.

I have never seen the product, and its specific sales situation is completely unknown. Moreover, the price of several hundred dollars is unrealistic. Can it really be sold at this price?

But these are not important. As long as they can exchange foreign currency, they are willing to gamble. Every penny earned is a penny earned. Even if they lose, they can just absorb the money internally. What if it really works?

"What you said is not enough to convince me. I feel like you are just making a big promise for me. How can you guarantee that the final result will be the same as what you said?"

Zhu Guoqiang looked at him questioningly.

Hearing this, Li Wenqiang smiled.

"I'm sorry, I don't need to promise anyone. You can choose to believe me or just treat it as a joke. Both parties in the cooperation are equal. If you believe me, we can continue to talk about it. If you don't believe me, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless, right?"

Li Wenqiang smiled and didn't make any further explanations.

Cooperation is mutual. Li Wenqiang does not think that he can gain others' respect by just bowing and explaining. As the saying goes, if I am not welcome here, I will find another place to stay. If it were not for the social environment problem, he would have worked on his own long ago if he was sure that the project could make money.

"You have quite a personality. Now I admire you a little bit! After all this talk, I still don't know what your stuff looks like. I wonder if you have brought it over for me to see today?"

Zhu Guoqiang asked curiously.

"Of course I brought it. I thought I might as well build you a bathroom so that you can have a detailed understanding. After you use it, you will naturally know whether my things are good or not. What do you think?"

Li Wenqiang gave him a suggestion.

“How much does it cost to build a toilet?”

Zhu Guoqiang asked with a frown.

"This is our cooperation model room. I won't charge you any money. I won't say more. You can see the effect after I finish it. Uncle, please come with me to the yard and wait. I will move the things in!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang stood up and walked out. He smiled at Zhu Ling who was pretending to admire the moon at the door, and then walked out.

Zhu Ling's face turned red. Her eavesdropping was too obvious. She felt a little stupid.

Before she left, Zhu Guoqiang also walked out of the house, looked at Zhu Ling at the door without saying anything, and followed Li Wenqiang out. Seeing this, Zhu Ling also followed.

Li Wenqiang was taking out two squat toilets from the car.

"Let's go to the yard first. I'll show you how to do it later."

After saying this, Li Wenqiang picked up his things and walked towards the yard.

Looking at the strangely shaped white porcelain placed in the yard, both Zhu Guoqiang and Zhu Ling were very curious.

"Are you sure this thing can really be sold for that much money?"

After Li Wenqiang's demonstration, Zhu Guoqiang once again suspected that he had been scammed. Isn't this just a porcelain floor drain? How can it be sold for so much money? If people knew that a senior leader like him was deceived by a young boy who looked like his daughter, they would laugh their heads off.

"Uncle, you have asked this question many times. You should know that the same thing has different prices in different places. As long as you agree to a few conditions, I will definitely be able to make this money."

Li Wenqiang said in a decisive tone.

"What conditions?"

After Zhu Guoqiang finished speaking, he looked at Li Wenqiang, wanting to see how he would convince him.

"I want domestic patents and the right to set prices for export products. I want to prohibit other porcelain factories from making the same products without my consent. If you can guarantee this, I think one hundred million US dollars will not be difficult to obtain."

Li Wenqiang looked at him and said seriously.

Although he knew that this requirement was somewhat difficult, he did not want his products to be copied by a group of people in China, and they also engaged in malicious competition and price wars, and in the end everyone would become serfs working as hard laborers for others.

This kind of example is not uncommon, and even after decades, this group of people cannot change this situation. Good products that can compete with foreign high-end markets will appear on the market at bargain prices in a few days. The quality is uneven at first, and after a period of time, it is no different from the original. In the end, everyone loses money.

"Your request is too high. I can't decide unless you can make achievements first. No matter who you go to, unless you find the senior leaders above, no one will dare to agree to your request."

Although Zhu Guoqiang didn't know much about doing business, he knew how great the impact of patents and pricing power was. If he implemented it in this way, he might really be able to make money. However, such a request was obviously not something that a small leader like him could decide.

"Okay! There's no point in talking any more. I'll have someone come over to build one for you tomorrow. You'll know what it's like after you use it. I have a toilet over there that's been built this afternoon. I'll have Zhu Ling come over to talk to you tomorrow after she uses it to see if it's worth it!"

Seeing that the matter was not settled, Li Wenqiang did not lose heart. Such a matter certainly could not be settled in a short period of time. Even if he agreed, if there was no approval from the top leaders, it would probably take another year and a half of meetings to discuss the matter before a result could be achieved.

"You calculate the amount, and I'll give it to you when the time comes so I can see what the toilet you've been talking about for so long really looks like."

Zhu Guoqiang had no intention of taking advantage of others. His monthly salary was not small, so there was no need for him to take advantage of others. Moreover, he also wanted to experience whether what he said was the same as what he said.

"Forget about the money. These things don't make much money. Consider it an employee benefit for Zhu Ling. I'll deduct it from her salary in the future! Hahahaha!"

Li Wenqiang joked that after the public-private partnership, all money and accounts had to go through the public manager, and all income had to be recorded in the accounts, so it was not his turn to pay salaries.

"In that case, I won't refuse! I'll watch your performance in the future. If you do well, I'll speak up for you to the senior leaders. If not, then forget it."

Seeing this, Zhu Guoqiang did not continue to refuse. At most, he could ask his daughter to bring him something to compensate him later.

Zhu Ling looked at Li Wenqiang talking to her father Pepe, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was not love, but curiosity. She always felt that he was different from others.

"Old Zhu, it's time to eat! Take that young comrade inside. Xiaoling, come and help me serve the dishes!"

At this time, an aunt's voice was heard from the room, and Zhu Ling responded hurriedly after hearing it.

"Hey, Mom, I'm coming!"

After saying this, Zhu Ling walked towards the kitchen.

"Come on, can you drink? How about having a drink with me?"

Zhu Guoqiang looked at Li Wenqiang and asked.

"I can drink a little, but not much!"

Li Wenqiang said modestly.

"As long as you can drink, let's go and eat!"

After saying that, the two of them walked into the house.
