I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

After successfully developing various plastic products and many exquisite objects that integrate traditional crafts, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business empire has already reached a considerable scale. However, their ambitions are not satisfied with this, but they have set their sights on the broader overseas market, determined to export plastic, glass, colored glaze, enamel filigree, gold inlaid jade, jade carving, wood carving and other craft products overseas, and further expand their business empire by establishing overseas warehouses and expanding logistics networks, becoming wealthy tycoons.

On this day, the sun shines through the spacious French windows into the elegantly decorated study room of the Chen Mansion. Chen Jia and Chen Jue sit in front of a large desk, on which are spread out a series of world maps, on which are densely marked with various overseas countries and important ports in red pen. Chen Jia gently taps a port on the map and speaks first: "Husband, our business in China is booming now, and all kinds of products are very popular. But you see this vast overseas, there are countless potential markets waiting for us to explore. If we can sell our plastics, glass products, and those enamel filigree, gold-inlaid jade, jade carvings, and wood carvings that embody exquisite craftsmanship overseas, it will surely usher in a new glory."

Chen Jue nodded slightly, looking at the map intently, and said, "Madam, your idea coincides with mine. Overseas countries have always been curious and yearning for the exquisite craftsmanship and novel objects of the East. Our products are unique and will surely shine in the overseas market. However, cross-border trade is not easy. The journey is long, transportation is inconvenient, and we also need to deal with the differences in customs and regulations of different countries."

Chen Jia frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Husband, in terms of transportation, we can cooperate with reliable shipping companies to build a stable fleet to ensure the safe and timely delivery of goods. As for differences in customs and regulations, we need to arrange for someone to conduct research to understand the preferences and taboos of each country so that our products meet local market demand. In addition, in order to supply goods more conveniently and reduce transportation time and costs, we can set up warehouses overseas."

Chen Jue's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "My dear, it's a good idea to build an overseas warehouse. In this way, we can respond to market demand more quickly and improve customer satisfaction. But building a warehouse requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and we have to choose a suitable location to ensure convenient transportation, safety and reliability."

Chen Jia nodded and said, "Husband, this does require caution. We can first conduct inspections in several important trade ports, such as Basra in the Persian Gulf and Alexandria in the Mediterranean. These places have prosperous trade and prominent transportation hubs, which are conducive to the distribution of our goods. At the same time, we need to train a group of talents who are familiar with overseas markets and trade rules to be responsible for the operation and management of warehouses."

Chen Jue added: "My wife, in addition to overseas warehouses, we also need to expand the logistics network. Domestically, we need to optimize the collection, sorting and transportation processes of goods to ensure that the goods can be efficiently transported to the port. Overseas, we need to cooperate with local logistics providers to establish a distribution system from the port to local markets. Only when the entire logistics network is unobstructed can our products reach consumers smoothly."

Chen Jia smiled and said, "It's great that you have thought so carefully. Let's act immediately and split into several groups. One group will be responsible for negotiating cooperation with shipping companies and forming a fleet; one group will go overseas to investigate warehouse sites; and another group will start training and recruiting talents familiar with overseas trade, while studying the customs and regulations of various countries."

Chen Jue nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's make arrangements right away without further delay."

In the following days, Chen Jia and Chen Jue were busy directing various affairs. The person in charge of negotiating with the shipping companies soon sent a message that they had reached a cooperation intention with several powerful shipping companies and would jointly build a fleet with advanced ships to ensure the safety and efficiency of cargo transportation.

People who went overseas to investigate warehouse sites also sent back reports one after another. One of the responsible persons said: "Duke, Madam, after a detailed investigation, Basra Port and Alexandria Port are indeed excellent warehouse sites. Basra Port is located at the key node of East-West trade, and goods can be easily transported to Central Asia, West Asia and Europe; Alexandria Port is connected to the countries along the Mediterranean coast, and its market radiation range is wide."

After carefully studying the report, Chen Jia and Chen Jue decided to build overseas warehouses in both ports. Chen Jue said: "The two ports have excellent geographical locations, and we must start the construction of warehouses as soon as possible. During the construction process, we must ensure the safety and functionality of the warehouses, and comply with local building regulations."

At the same time, the people in charge of training and recruiting talents have also made progress. A subordinate reported: "Duke, Madam, we have recruited a group of talents who are familiar with foreign languages ​​and understand overseas trade rules, and have arranged special training on the customs and regulations of various countries. They are studying hard and striving to master the relevant knowledge as soon as possible."

Chen Jia said with satisfaction: "Very good, talents are the key to our expansion into overseas markets. We need to let them have a deep understanding of our products so that we can better promote them to overseas customers."

While all the preparations were in full swing, Chen Jia and Chen Jue did not forget to optimize the products to meet the needs of overseas markets.

Chen Jia held an enamel filigree ornament ready for export and said to the craftsmen: "Masters, our products are to be exported overseas, so they need to be adjusted according to the aesthetics of different countries. For example, people in West Asia like gorgeous and complicated styles. The color of this ornament can be stronger, and the pattern can be richer and more delicate."

The craftsmen nodded and said they would make improvements as required.

Chen Jue told the plastic product design team: "The overseas market has high requirements for the practicality and innovation of plastic products. We need to continuously optimize the design. For example, we can add some interactive functions to this plastic toy to make children more interested. For plastic furniture, we need to consider the home styles of different countries and design more adaptable styles."

After receiving the order, the design team immediately started working on the new design.

After months of careful preparation, everything was ready. The first batch of goods shipped overseas was loaded onto the ship, including plastic toys of various shapes, crystal clear glass products, exquisite enamel filigree ornaments, warm and elegant gold-inlaid jade and jade carvings, and exquisite wood carvings.

When the goods arrived at the ports of Basra and Alexandria, they quickly caused a sensation in the local markets. The exquisite oriental handicrafts attracted the attention of many local merchants, nobles and ordinary people.

In front of a warehouse in Basra Port, a local wealthy businessman looked at the exquisite gold-inlaid jade ornaments and exclaimed: "These gold-inlaid jade ornaments are simply exquisitely crafted, combining the elegance of gold with the warmth of jade. I have never seen such exquisite objects. Your country's craftsmanship is really amazing!"

The person in charge of overseas business introduced with a smile: "These are all carefully made by us. There are many other exquisite handicrafts. I believe you will like them."

In Alexandria, a noble lady picked up an enamel cloisonné jewelry and couldn't let it go: "This enamel cloisonné craft is so magical, the colors are so gorgeous, the patterns are so delicate, wearing it will definitely make me the focus of everyone's attention."

As the products sold well in overseas markets, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business reputation spread rapidly. They continued to receive orders from all over the world, and the goods in overseas warehouses were in short supply.

Chen Jia looked at the pile of orders and said to Chen Jue excitedly, "Husband, our products are so popular overseas. It seems that our efforts have not been in vain."

Chen Jue smiled and responded: "Madam, this is just the beginning. We must continue to expand the scale of production, optimize product quality, and improve the logistics network so that our products can be distributed all over the world."

In order to meet the growing market demand, Chen Jia and Chen Jue further expanded the scale of domestic production, recruited more craftsmen and workers, and taught them their exquisite skills. At the same time, they continuously optimized the logistics network, increased the number of transport ships, and improved the efficiency of cargo transportation. Overseas, they continuously improved and innovated their products based on market feedback.

As time went by, Chen Jia and Chen Jue's business empire grew larger and larger. Their products not only gained a foothold in the West Asian and European markets, but also gradually expanded to further Africa and the Americas. By establishing overseas warehouses and improving logistics networks, they successfully promoted the exquisite craftsmanship and practical products of the East to the world, becoming well-known businessmen, and their wealth continued to accumulate like a snowball.

On a quiet night, Chen Jia and Chen Jue stood in the garden of the Chen Mansion, looking at the busy and orderly scene in the mansion, with full of emotion in their hearts. Chen Jia gently leaned on Chen Jue's shoulder and said, "My husband, looking back on our journey, from the initial attempt to the current glory, every step was full of hardships and challenges, but we never gave up."

Chen Jue held Chen Jia's hand and said affectionately: "My dear, all this is inseparable from your wisdom and courage. We have worked together to create today's business legend. In the future, we will continue to work hard to expand our business territory."

Under the moonlight, the two figures appeared particularly determined, their eyes looking into the distance, as if they saw a brighter future.
