Yang Dongxu, who was looking for trouble for himself, started to get busy again after getting rid of the big burden of rebuilding the courtyard. I went to learn sketching on the weekends. The teacher was an old man from Peking University. He was not very famous, but he was excellent at landscape painting. Hearing that Yang Dongxu only studied sketching and not traditional Chinese painting, he would have kicked him out if it wasn't for Zhou Yiren's sake.
When he got home from school, Yang Dongxu stopped wandering around and practiced singing in the small courtyard with an acoustic guitar that he bought from Sun Shengli after several turns. As for homework and so on, is that a miracle? Just get double 100 in the final exam, don't worry about these details.
It was said that he was practicing singing, but it was just a matter of course. Yang Dongxu, who had no idea of becoming a singer, just sang with his acoustic guitar, mainly because he couldn't remember some lyrics. So I can only use the guitar to find the tune and hum a few lines. Once the melody comes out, the lyrics will also come out.
It's still a big notebook, with a Hero brand pen beside it. I've written down all the songs that I can remember on the first gear, or the lyrics that follow the melody. But this time I'm not just memorizing the lyrics. Since the melody After I came out, I wrote the song score together.
"Xu Zi, Xu Zi, the Hong Kong people you are looking for are here for dinner." Wu Aibing ran over panting and said.
Naturally, the purpose of writing songs is to sell them, so Yang Dongxu told Wu Aibing to notify him if there were Hong Kong people coming to the restaurant for dinner.
Now that the reputation of the Yang Family Banquet has spread, the private rooms upstairs are full every day, and reservations need to be made at least a week in advance. The reason why it is so popular and tastes good is naturally one of the main factors. Another important reason is the good service quality.
After Yang Dongxu’s strict requirements and the systematic training of Two Knives, when you come to Yang’s Banquet to enjoy food, you can also enjoy meticulous service and choose your own taste. For example, don’t add onions and add more salt to your taste. etc.
Therefore, although people who come to eat here are not uncles, they can enjoy the same service as uncles. Instead of going to some other big state-owned restaurants to be a grandson, say a few words about the taste of the food and the waiters are more aggressive than you.
The food is good and the service is good. Naturally, not only people from Yanjing come to eat, but also businessmen from other places who seem to have smelled business opportunities, Hong Kong people, Russians, and even Americans. Even the little RB devil Yang's family banquet has been hosted.
However, apart from those from the embassy, there were a bit few businessmen from Hong Kong. After all, the transportation is really underdeveloped now. It takes at least half a month for them to go back and forth, and there are not many people who come here for a trip. Therefore, sometimes they may be seen for a week continuously, and sometimes no one can be seen for ten days and half a month.
Yang Dongxu hurried to the Yang Family Banquet and almost gave himself a blow on the head. He felt that he was looking far away from the near. Because it was Dongzi who took Hong Kong merchants to eat.
It can be said that Dongzi has started to tremble since Xiushui Clothing Company came to town. In the past, he was only famous on the street, but now he has some impression on the eyes of some officials.
There is no way that as the first person from Yanjing to go to Shenzhen to get goods, and the first private enterprise to cooperate with Hong Kong businessmen, it would be difficult for him to become famous.
Yes, Xiushui Clothing Company has cooperated with Hong Kong businessmen. When Dongzi made several trips to Shenzhen to get goods, and Yang Dongxu and he were making money, suddenly a source of goods cheaper than them appeared on the street.
Dongzi couldn't bear it and immediately summoned his men to kill him. But when he went to the place and saw that it was a Hong Kong businessman, he was a little dumbfounded. At this time, foreign relations are very tense, and foreign investors will definitely have higher protection standards than giant pandas when they are qualified.
Since we can't fight, we can only sit down and talk. This discussion led to a cooperation. Xiushui Clothing provided the transportation means. Of course, the Hong Kong merchants had to pay for the tolls themselves. After the goods arrived in Yanjing, they could only hand them over to Dongzi for sale.
After all, the place of origin is too far away to get involved, so with transportation as a bargaining chip, Yang Dongxu directly locked up the downstream market. After all, in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Sijiu City, he, or Dongzi, still has some influence. , so the two parties became partners.
"Haha, Mr. Yang is here. We have people to treat us to dinner today." Dongzi, who was dressed like a national leader in a Chinese tunic suit, acted more smoothly.
For example, for the title Yang Dongxu, a month ago he would just call Yang Dongxu 'Xu Zi', but now he used to call Yang Dongxu 'Xu Zi' when no one was around, and when outsiders were around, he would call him Young Master.
Although it is just a simple title, just by changing this detail, it can be seen that Zhongzi has really grown up in the past two months, and he does not look like a young boy in his twenties at all.
"Young Master Yang is here." Hao Yifan, who was sitting down to eat, stood up. He was obviously more experienced in dealing with people than the grown-up Dongzi. Since everyone called him "Young Master Yang", he naturally couldn't sit down anymore.
"Boss Hao, you must have made a lot of money this time, right?" Yang Dongxu sat down with a smile.
"Let's spend money together, let's spend money together." Hao Yifan smiled very low-key.
Compared to Dongzi, who wears the tunic suit of a successful man and an intellectual, Hao Yifan wears a more low-key style, a plaid shirt, big pants, and a pair of sandals. He is only 165 years old and is chubby, so when he smiles, he feels a bit honest and kind.
However, Yang Dongxu has never underestimated this fat man. As one of the first Hong Kong businessmen to enter the mainland to pan for gold, he did not just test the waters in Shenzhen like other Hong Kong businessmen, but went directly north to Yanjing with his goods. It's not something ordinary people have the courage to do.
After eating and drinking, the food was removed and dessert was served. Yang Dongxu took a piece of frozen watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth. The cold feeling was very refreshing.
"I wonder what happened to what I told Boss Hao last time?" Yang Dongxu asked while leaning on his chair and eating watermelon.
"I brought some. I brought 100 tape recorders. There are more than 200 tapes, and a dozen of them are the latest ones." Hao Yifan pointed behind him.
Obviously coming here to eat, even if Yang Dongxu doesn't come to him, he will come to Yang Dongxu. Because everything has been brought, how to sell it is a problem.
"Boss Hao is so awesome." Hearing that Hao Yifan had brought so many recorders to test the waters, Yang Dongxu gave him a thumbs up.
Jumped down from the chair, ran over to open the packaging box, and a big man appeared in front of Yang Dongxu. Holding the handle above, he skillfully plugged in the socket and opened it. He took out a tape and saw that it was "A Thousand Words" by Teresa Teng. He turned on the tape recorder and put it in. The familiar tone began to echo in the private room.
After listening to all the songs with his eyes closed, Yang Dongxu woke up from the aftertaste and pointed at the recorder: "What's the price?"
"The tape recorder is a bit expensive, it costs 100 yuan, and the tape is 2 yuan a piece, which is the real price." Hao Yifan said with his hands crossed on his thighs.
"Two yuan a tape is fine, but that big guy can't calculate money like that. I won't ask you what the purchase price is. It's 80 yuan a tape. I'll buy 110 yuan. Otherwise, this business won't work. What's your income as a Yanjing person?" It’s not like I don’t know.” Yang Dongxu said after pondering.
"Okay, this is not the first time we have cooperated. Let's go with this price. Although I am a little bit at a loss, we just want to deepen our relationship with each other." Hao Yifan said with a pained look on his face.
Yang Dongxu directly ignored his performance. As the saying goes, some people do the business that is easy to behead, but no one does the business that makes them lose money. Although Yang Dongxu didn't know the price of these things in Hong Kong, he knew that Hao Yifan definitely had a lot of profit margins.
He doesn't care about this. After all, if we have money, everyone can make money together. The basis of mutual cooperation is that everyone can make money, otherwise this kind of cooperation will not last long.
"Can this thing really be sold?" Dongzi, who had been sitting silently next to him, frowned.
I was a little unhappy that Yang Dongxu got this tape recorder thing. Not to mention that it took up too much space and couldn't be squeezed. When it was shipped back, it was like waiting for an uncle to serve a lot of clothes.
More importantly, he knew how much the workers in Yanjing were being paid. They were already gnashing their teeth if they bought a few more clothes. Would anyone spend more than 100 yuan on this thing that only listens to music? Dongzi feels that radios are easier to sell than this thing.
"As agreed before, I will sell this thing. Xiushui Clothing will give you an extra 10% of the income as if I accounted for the cost of transporting this thing by train." Yang Dongxu said.
Is this thing not easy to sell? Are you kidding me? This thing was absolutely indispensable in the fashion of the 1980s. Although this thing is a bit big at over half a meter long, within a few years there will be many young people carrying it on the streets and showing off everywhere.
"I didn't mean that..." Dongzi said quickly.
"That's it, brothers are brothers, business is business, one code is another code. But you can't discuss it with your uncle anymore. What's the point of staring at me and dizzying the space between the tape recorder and the tape? Even if it's just this How much is it worth if all the space is used to store clothes? A few more train leathers would be a big deal." Yang Dongxu interrupted Dongzi.
"You think I don't want to? You don't know that the transportation capacity is extremely tight now?" Dongzi sighed, feeling a little unwilling, but he had been grinding against his uncle for more than half a month, and he didn't even want half of the train skin. Come on, there's nothing he can do.
Not to mention trains, car transportation is also tight. One is that there are few cars, and the other is that there are no highways in China now. Even if you have a car, you can't drive back.
"Why don't we use a boat?" Yang Dongxu said after a long pause.
"This is a good idea. There is a port over there in Yantai, and Shenzhen and Hong Kong are all close to the sea. As long as the train can't transport the things to Yantai by boat, we can also use trucks to come back." Dongzi's eyes suddenly lit up.
But thinking that if we use a boat to pull it, we must have a ferry. He was a little embarrassed for a while: "I don't have any connections with boats. If we find someone, others may know what we do..."
Although they haven't finished speaking, Yang Dongxu and Hao Yifan already understand that since Dongzi has used railway transportation to get a piece of the pie, those who can get the ship will definitely get involved.
"Can you find a boat over there?" Yang Dongxu looked at Hao Yifan.
"There is no problem with the ship. There is a shipping company in Hong Kong, but the customs procedures..."
"My grandpa knows some people in the external office. I'll see if I can get some help." Yang Dongxu thought for a while and took over the matter.
