Chapter 106: The New Year is Hard
Chapter 106: The New Year is Hard
Yin Zhaotang's face froze for a moment, he took a puff of cigarette, and replied with a forced smile: "Yes, thank you Prince for the opportunity."
Jiang Hao was a tough guy. He witnessed the boss arguing with the Big Four and was forced to take over the sneaker factory.
The reason why the sneaker factory is doing a booming business today is that the boss works hard every day to develop the market.
"Brother Taizi, what should I thank you for? Thank you for asking us to pay for buying the factory, otherwise get out of Taizi Road!" He crossed his arms, straightened his back, and looked fierce. He was not polite at all.
Yin Zhaotang's expression changed slightly, but he did not scold Jiang Hao. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Prince. I am ignorant."
"Ask him to bring you tea and apologize some other day."
Prince Rong's face, which had been warm just now, suddenly fell, and he held his girlfriend's hand tighter.
"OK, let's have tea together some other day."
Yan Zhenna felt that her boyfriend was in a bad mood, so she behaved well and followed him out of the shoe store with her head down.
Holding a box of sneakers in his left hand, he ran out of the store, bowed and said, "Brother Prince, Brother Prince, I forgot to take something."
"Haha, thank you very much." Tai Zirong let the younger brother take the sneakers, and the calm expression on his face did not melt. Just after walking a few meters along Huayuan Street, he took the shoe box from the younger brother's hand and threw it into the trash can.
"Fuck, what a shame, you have no shame at all."
The younger brother Fat D flatteredly agreed: "Yes, Brother Rong, the sneaker factory is an obvious opportunity to make money. If you don't give it to him, he wants to step into Taizi Road. Is there any legitimate business to do?"
“It really came from a dream!”
Prince Rong didn't say anything, but his face looked much better. He obviously thought that he was Yin Zhaotang's benefactor. Earlier, he heard that the fake goods of the sneaker factory could make hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. He didn't think of robbing the sneaker factory, and thought that he had taken good care of Shenxiantang.
He is trying to intervene as the former owner and is determined to buy back some shares. Can Lao Zhong's reputation stop him?
Now the sneaker factories have developed into genuine sneakers, and the goods in the shops seem to be well made, which shows that they can make a lot of money. Shenxiantang turned his face away and didn't even say a word of thanks. He sent me a pair of shoes and made me a beggar.
"Brother Rong, I know that Ah Hao just now. He's the boss of Shanghai Street. We can catch him and put him in a dog cage at night so that Shenxiantang won't dare to pretend to be a big shot again!" Fat D came up with a good idea.
Prince Rong actually thought about it carefully, until his girlfriend tightened her arms and felt a little uneasy. He said with relief: "Forget it, it's Christmas tonight, don't make trouble, wait for Shenxiantang to call."
"You want to invite me for tea? Let's talk after we're done." Not even the obvious politeness could be heard.
Zuoshou returned to the sneaker store with a very unhappy look on his face. He whispered to the boss, "Brother Tang, Prince Rong threw our gift into the color bucket."
"Fuck you, it's the first day of the new store opening and you don't even give me any face!" Dan Tart raised his leg, trying to find a box to kick, but when he found that everything in the store was very new, he put his foot down in frustration.
Jiang Hao raised his sword-like eyebrows and said simply and directly: "Brother Tang, Prince Rong must be jealous of our business and will cause trouble sooner or later."
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after today. I will be guarding the store myself on the first day it opens." With the double-flowered red sticks in charge, no one dares to cause trouble easily.
This sneaker store is a legitimate business. Lao Zhong informed the patrol officer in advance. However, he was raided three times upon opening. Now he has no business left.
But when an unwelcome guest came to visit, Yin Zhaotang still frowned and said in a serious tone: "Zuoshou, take back the shoes and give them to the brothers. If the goods from the new store are thrown on the roadside, the customers will have a bad impression."
"It has been taken back." said the left hand.
"Today, the sneaker store opened for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. How are the sales?"
Chaoyi Restaurant.
The fat cat leaned back in the armchair, looking comfortable, holding the pomelo pot in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.
If Yin Zhaotang hadn't seen him move, he would have thought that grandpa was resting with his eyes closed.
"It's selling well. We sell more than 600 pairs a day, worth more than 80,000 yuan." Fat Cat nodded slightly: "Is it so profitable?"
"I didn't expect that. Maybe it's just luck." Yin Zhaotang didn't say anything definite.
After all, you can't say it will be easier to make money in the future?
Thanks to the vigorous store opening activities, the number of more than 600 pairs sold is still within the scope of grandpa's cognition.
Fat Cat smiled, opened his eyes, and said with a hint of joy: "A few months ago, when we bought the sneaker factory, many people in the company had concerns. But the A-grade products were very good, and when the genuine sneakers were launched, no one dared to say anything."
"New Year's Day is coming soon, and the uncles in the society are counting on you to have a good year."
Yin Zhaotang knew that the shoe factory's accounts had to be well managed recently, and a portion of the funds had to be allocated for dividends. In recent months, the society's paper income had risen sharply, and everyone was in high spirits. They must cash out a sum of money at the end of the year, so that the uncles would continue to support them next year.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I have already contacted the bank and will distribute cash to the company during the Chinese New Year."
Fat Cat nodded in satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said with emotion: "If you build a few more factories, you can support the entire society. It seems that we should prepare for some things."
In fact, Fat Cat’s imagination is still a little lacking. He doesn’t need to build a factory at all. He just needs to make a factory bigger.
After all, making money is faster by doing legitimate things.
"This morning, Prince Rong went to the sneaker store intentionally or unintentionally." Whenever Yin Zhaotang encountered difficulties, he would definitely hand them over to the society to resolve first.
Fat Cat pondered and said, "I heard that the police have been conducting a fierce anti-drug campaign recently. A batch of goods from Dan'er was seized by the anti-drug team. There may be a gap in the society's accounts. It is normal for Taizi Rong to want to take a piece of the sneaker business."
"Leave this matter to me. Prince Rong is the leader of the Four Great Leaders, and you are just a double-flowered red stick. It will be a disadvantage to negotiate with him."
Yin Zhaotang didn't think that Lao Zhong's title as the boss could scare Prince Rong, but since the fat cat was willing to protect him, it would be better if he could take less risks.
"OK, I'll leave Prince Rong to you. Grandpa, is the Hong Kong police's anti-drug team so impressive?"
Fat Cat glanced at him and said with lingering fear, "They are low-key but not stupid. Those who joined the anti-drug team risked their lives to get to the top. In terms of fighting hard, they are more fierce than the Young and Dangerous! Since the establishment of the ICAC, the Hong Kong government's anti-drug campaign has only become more fierce! It is getting stricter day by day, and people keep falling into the water."
"If the profits weren't so high, many people would take the risk. The first to be wiped out in the crime were the flour dealers."
Sometimes Fat Cat secretly rejoices that Jing Zhongyi has produced a god, otherwise, he will be driven away by the police sooner or later. What he needs to do now is to support Shen Xiantang in leading the company's transformation, at all costs, to clean up the stains one by one, and the future prospects will be infinitely bright.
When Yin Zhaotang walked out of the restaurant, the guards all bowed and looked at him with admiring eyes, saying in a respectful tone, "Brother Tang!"
"Brother Tang!"
Yin Zhaotang smiled and nodded, saying hello: "Thank you for your hard work."
As the night grew darker, a light rain began to fall from the sky.
The weather is already a bit cold, and the evening wind makes it even colder.
He came to meet the man with an umbrella in his left hand, and put a leather coat on Big Brother Yin Zhaotang, opened the car door, and asked with concern: "Brother Tang, what did Grandpa say?"
“It’s a tough year.”
Yin Zhaotang sighed out loud.
"Axiong, go to the warehouse and get a bag of US dollars in the evening." Fat Cat sat alone in the attic, talking to Zhuang Xiong on the phone.
