Chapter 406 Big Business Comes
"Comrade Xiao Song, do you think the foundation is well laid?"
On this day, Song Cenyue was at the construction site, checking the foundation of the factory building.
"This foundation is good, it's well laid." Song Cenyue nodded after carefully observing the foundation.
"Since the foundation is fine, can we build a house?" asked Zhao Jun. He was from the construction team and was the chief supervising engineer in charge of building the factory. He was responsible for supervising the construction units and ensuring the smooth progress of the project.
"We can build the house now. Let's start with Factory No. 1." Song Cenyue nodded.
The tank manufacturing plant is very large and is divided into many factories. Factory No. 1 will be built first, and then Factory No. 1 will be built after Factory No. 2 is completed.
"Sister-in-law!" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
Hearing the voice, a hint of surprise flashed in Song Cenyue's eyes.
The voice belonged to Qian Jingdong, but why did Qian Jingdong suddenly appear here? Wasn't he in the military sub-district to which he belonged?
Song Cenyue looked back in confusion and saw two men standing more than ten meters away. The younger one was wearing a military uniform, and it was Qian Jingdong, and the middle-aged one was wearing a Zhongshan suit.
"Brother Qian!" Song Cenyue was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Are you here to get a share of the profits?
But he said on the phone that there was no rush, that they would all return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year, and that he would give it to him when they met in Beijing. This would save him the trouble of running around, as he was very busy after returning from their wedding.
At the end of last month, when they settled the accounts and wanted to give him their share, she asked her husband to call him and tell him that he had received 43,500 yuan in the past three months, and asked him to take some time to come and get it.
I wanted to send it to him, but he and his wife were very busy and couldn't spare the time to visit him, so I had to let him find time to get it himself.
Unexpectedly, he was very busy and had no time to come to get it, so she and her husband agreed to bring his share to him in Beijing during the Chinese New Year.
At that time, it was not like modern times where you can transfer money through banks or WeChat. Now we don’t even have WeChat.
"I have something important to tell you." Qian Jingdong said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll be there right away, wait for me." Song Cenyue returned Qian Jingdong a smile.
I wonder what important matter Qian Jingdong has that made him come all the way to see them?
It doesn't feel like they are here just to get money.
With curiosity flashing in her eyes, Song Cenyue said to Zhao Jun, "My friend is here. I'll go over there for a while. You go and tell the construction team to start building Factory No. 1 according to the drawings I sent out earlier."
"Okay." Zhao Jun immediately nodded in agreement.
Song Cenyue immediately ran towards Qian Jingdong and said to him and the man beside him with a smile: "Brother Qian, comrade, come with me to my office and sit down."
"Sister-in-law, this is my relative, my cousin, his last name is Xu. I came here this time specifically to bring him to see you.
He wants to discuss a big deal with you. Let's go to your office to discuss the details... There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to go into details." Qian Jingdong pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and lowered his voice when he said the last few words. It was very quiet so that only Song Cenyue could hear it.
Big deal? Song Cenyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she became even more curious. What big deal could it be?
The only business they are doing now is second-hand cars. Could it be that Qian Jingdong's cousin is here to buy a second-hand car? Since it is a big deal, he should buy not just one, but several!
"Okay, go to my office and sit down and talk slowly." Song Cenyue's lips curled up, and a beautiful smile like a spring flower appeared on her face.
"Uncle Xu, hello, welcome." She looked at Xu Liqiang and greeted him warmly.
"Hello. I've heard Jingdong say that you are young but very capable, but I didn't expect you are so young! You are really young and promising!" Xu Liqiang looked at Song Cenyue, quite surprised.
Unexpectedly, Song Cenyue was much younger than he had imagined. If he had not seen her commanding the construction of an arsenal with his own eyes, he would never have believed that she was the head of an arsenal or even a tank manufacturing plant.
She was also in charge of such a large and profitable second-hand car business. Qian Jingdong and his comrades-in-arms, a bunch of grown men who were also officials, were all her subordinates and had to listen to her.
If you want to talk to her about the used car business, you have to talk to her.
"Uncle Xu, thank you for the compliment." Song Cenyue smiled and led Qian Jingdong and Xu Liqiang to her office.
After asking Qian Jingdong and Xu Liqiang to sit down, Song Cenyue made two cups of tea for them.
"Sister-in-law, do you know where your husband and Lao Lu went?" Qian Jingdong picked up the hot tea that Song Cenyue placed in front of him, blew on it, took a sip and asked.
"After I brought my cousin to the military region, I wanted to go find them first, but they were not in the office. So I thought I would just bring my cousin to see you directly. Anyway, the deal will ultimately be decided by you."
"I heard last night from Brother Weihao that he and Brother Lu were going to inspect the company today. You went to their office but didn't find them. They must have gone to inspect the national team and haven't returned yet. I don't know what business it is that requires my approval?" Song Cenyue asked curiously after answering.
"It's like this, my cousin works in Shanghai and has a lot of connections there. When he heard that we were selling used cars, he thought it was a huge business opportunity.
Shanghai people are richer than people in most cities. Even some private individuals can afford to buy cars. He wanted to wholesale used cars from us and sell them in Shanghai.
He wants to wholesale 20 cars for the first time, and hopes you can give him a discount. This is a big deal, so I thought I would bring him to see you in person and talk to you. "Qian Jingdong did not beat around the bush and explained his purpose.
"Comrade Xiao Song, I hope you can give me more discounts. Besides, Shanghai only allows me to sell your used cars... Shanghai is a huge market. I think it will be no problem to sell thousands of cars. Let's make a fortune together." Xu Liqiang said hurriedly.
Song Cenyue looked at them, her beautiful eyes lit up. This was really a big deal, Qian Jingdong's uncle was a bit like a dealer.
Shanghai was the richest place in the country during the Republic of China era, and it is still the richest place in the country now. It is indeed not a problem to sell thousands of cars, and it can even sell more.
It is impossible for them to sell used cars as far away as Shanghai on their own now, but they can do it through Qian Jingdong's cousin.
You can give him more discounts, since they will still be the ones making the most money in the end.
"Okay. Uncle, let's make a fortune together. I agree to your words. I will give you the biggest discount for each car. The second-hand cars we have now are all sold for 30,000 yuan each. I can sell them to you for 29,000 yuan each, and give you a discount of 1,000 yuan per car...
As for how much you sell the car for in Shanghai, that's your business, we won't care. Even if you can sell it for 40,000 or 50,000, we won't care." Song Cenyue nodded and smiled.
At that time, it was not the modern era, and there was no mature business environment like the modern era, so there was no need to unify the pricing. It was people’s freedom to decide how much to sell the product at. If they sold it at a high price and made a lot of money, that was their ability.
Anyway, she would make a lot of money by selling the car for 29,000 yuan. After all, the cost of the car is there, and the cost of a car is only a few hundred yuan.
