Chapter 1486 Everyone depends on their ability

Qian Tiandun repeatedly mentioned the development of Liaodong, and the extent to which he cared about it was beyond words. Of course, there was also the selfishness of the military. If Haihan wanted to rush to develop Liaodong, he would have to agree to the follow-up combat plan proposed by the military, and

This will bring convenience for the military to operate in the north and more sufficient military expenditures. However, all investment matters must be finalized before Baikes leaves Liaodong, so that he can return to Sanya with various signed cooperation agreements to persuade

For the rest of the executive committee to meet this time limit, Qian Tiandun naturally had to make full use of Li Nai, a businessman who loves Haihan, and asked Li Nai to come forward on his behalf to lobby those southern companions to urge them to leave as soon as possible.

Determined to invest in Liaodong.

Of course, this kind of errand will not go to waste for Li Nai. When the time comes, during the selection and implementation stages of investment projects, Haihan officials will naturally give him more care. This kind of understanding does not even need to be said in person.

The multiple cooperations between the two parties in the past few years have cultivated a sufficient tacit understanding. If not, Qian Tiandun and others would not have the patience to explain to him in detail the deep meaning behind Haihan's series of actions in the north and let him understand these

The plan was also to enhance his confidence in Haihan.

In fact, before Li Nai could go back, the news that he had entered the Sujiapu frontline headquarters alone had spread among two groups of southern businessmen. It was well known that Li Nai had good relations with the senior officials of Haihan, and he went to

What kind of news the big shots of Haihan brought back after their meeting naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Especially among the group of businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, there was no one like Li Nai who had personal relations with the senior officials of Haihan.

Unable to get first-hand information, I became even more anxious now.

"Brother He, the man surnamed Li went directly to meet the senior officials of Haihan, clearly intending to exclude us and others. What should we do?" At that moment, someone eagerly asked He Li for help. He Li showed great enthusiasm along the way.

His composure was greatly admired by his companions, and his judgments were relatively accurate. At this time, he was competing with the Fuguang merchants, so some people vaguely regarded him as the backbone of their group.

He Li was actually a little panicked. Li Nai had a special relationship with the Haihan people. They couldn't catch up with them even if they were in love with each other, and they didn't even have the qualifications to sow discord. If Li Nai directly finalized a deal with the Haihan people, they would probably be the ones to do it.

The last group of people will get the news. If the competition between the two sides in Liaodong continues, then it can be said that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen have no chance of making a comeback, and he does not think that the other party will be kind enough to eat the meat.

Keep some leftover soup and water for yourself.

However, in front of people like him, he still didn't want to lose the image he had worked so hard to establish, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Don't panic, that boss Li went to meet with the senior officials of Haihan, maybe it was just to catch up with old times. You guys

Think about it, Haihan has put a lot of thought into arranging for us to come here. Is it because he wants us to take a look around and then act as a prop to stimulate the Fuguang businessmen? What if they really just want to find someone to act?

If there is a drama, we will definitely find someone more suitable than us. If this is not the reason, then why should we be afraid of competing with our southern counterparts?"

Someone responded: "Brother He, if it's just more money, we won't be afraid. But after all, the southern businessmen are more familiar with the Haihan people, and they have more advantages than us in terms of human relations. Under the same conditions, we choose to take care of

It’s human nature to be acquainted.”

He Li said: "That is true, but Haihan people are standard businessmen. I believe they will not only consider favors but not practical problems when doing business. What is the biggest advantage of Jiangsu and Zhejiang over Fuguang? Then

It is closer to Liaodong! If we take Quanzhou and Zhoushan as the starting point, we have an advantage of two thousand miles for a round trip to Liaodong! You all travel on the sea all year round. After these two thousand miles, how much does a cargo cost?

I believe everyone is aware of freight costs. Haihan people are always smart in doing business, will they ignore such a problem?"

What He Li said is indeed true. If it were not for considering the relationship between voyage distance and freight cost, Haihan would not take the initiative to set up north-south segmented transportation and recruit new maritime carriers in Zhejiang that specialize in the northern route. Of course, this

He Li was not sure whether this geographical advantage could offset the favor between Li Nai and Haihan's senior management, but he knew that he could not show cowardice at this time. If it affected other companions, this competition would

That is to say, they were defeated before fighting.

After his analysis, everyone also felt that there was some truth. Since the Haihan official took the initiative to recruit them to be the carriers of the northern route, it made no sense to allocate all the fruits from Liaodong to the southern merchants. If that were the case, there would be no reason.

It is completely necessary to conduct such an investment promotion activity in Ningbo under false pretenses.

"Anyway, let's wait and see what happens. Even if the Haihan people have any other arrangements, they have to wait for an explanation before it makes sense." After He Li sorted out his thoughts, his emotions gradually calmed down, not as good as what he had just heard before.

He was so panicked when he received the news. In the final analysis, this was because he had a certain degree of confidence in the character of the Haihan people and believed that they would not offend them, merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, just because of their personal relationship with Li Nai.

Being in a war zone, the Haihan official had no plans to hold a welcome banquet for the newly arrived Fuguang business group, but arranged for them to receive ordinary military rations. This move made the Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen slightly more mentally balanced. After all, they

They also receive the same treatment when they arrive at the front line. If Haihan provides special treatment to Li Nai and other southern merchants, it will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction among the merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Li Nai didn't care about such details. He knew that although the Haihan people usually paid attention to the enjoyment of the details of life, they were all treated equally during wartime. Even the military generals he just met did not receive much special treatment. Besides,

The rations supplied by the Haihan army were actually not bad, at least much better than the Ming army rations that Li Nai knew.

As for the content of his consultation with General Haihan at the headquarters, it was not appropriate to inform outsiders. Therefore, although the Fuguang merchants were very curious, they did not get much information from Li Nai in the end. However, out of friendship with his companions, Li Nai

Li Nai still gave them a reassurance. From now on, the treatment that Fuguang merchants will receive in Liaodong should be no worse than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants. As for more inside information, Li Nai can no longer reveal it.

Since the Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants did not have an information source like Li Nai, their mood was certainly not as stable as that of their competitors. After dinner, He Li, who was pushed out by the public, went to Liu Shang alone, hoping to get some help from him.

Liu Shang is currently the official in charge of the reception of Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups, and he is the only person He Li can count on to help. Of course, He Li did not come unprepared. After entering the tent where Liu Shang lived, He Li

He took the initiative to take out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it over: "I have received a lot of attention from Mr. Liu recently. I hope Mr. Liu will not dislike it."

Liu Shang was a little surprised when he saw He Li greeting him as soon as he came in. However, he was a man who had seen the world. He did not rush to take the things from He Li's hand. Instead, he asked him: "Boss He, what are you doing?"

Do you have anything to discuss?"

Seeing that Liu Shang didn't accept the offer, He Li smiled bitterly and said, "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Liu, I'm here to ask for help. If Mr. Liu hadn't accepted this offer, I wouldn't have been able to speak out."

After hearing what he said, Liu Shang had actually guessed the purpose of his visit. After all, as soon as Li Nai arrived in Sujiapu today, he went directly to the headquarters and talked secretly with the military generals for almost an hour before coming out. He couldn't help these Jiang and Zhejiang people.

The businessman did not think about the content of the conversation between the two parties. In fact, he had heard of Li Nai when he was in Sanya, but he had never seen him in person. He did not expect to see him in Liaodong, which is so far away from Sanya.

This legendary young master Li San.

Liu Shang had heard a lot of rumors about Li Nai before. In his opinion, Li Nai's personal relationship with Haihan's senior executives was enough to bypass many official procedures, and there was no need to compete with these ordinary businessmen.

Investment opportunities in the Liaodong region. In other words, He Li's worries about this matter are actually a bit unfounded, because Li Nai is not their competitor at all, or conversely, they are not qualified to do business with businessmen of Li Nai's level.

Qualifications for competition. If Haihan executives really plan to cooperate with Li Nai on any business, they may not be able to participate, including the Fuguang business group who came this time.

As for He Li's gift to him, Liu Shang hesitated for a moment, because he knew that Li Nai's appearance would not have much impact on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups' investment initiatives in the north.

What did He Li do? But think about it, if this matter is exposed one day, I might not be able to keep the official position that I managed to get. After weighing the two sides, the future is still more important than the immediate interests.

Therefore, he could only clearly express his rejection of He Li's courtesy: "Boss He, I understand your wishes, and these benefits will be waived. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, as long as it is within my scope of authority, I can help you

If you help, you will help.”

Sure enough, what He Li asked was related to Li Nai: "I just want to ask Mr. Liu, if boss Li from Guangzhou uses his personal connections to squeeze us out of Liaodong, is there any way to save it?"

Liu Shangying said: "This kind of business competition is originally based on everyone's ability. As long as it does not violate our Haihan laws, the advice I can give Boss He is probably to just wait and see what happens and don't get impatient."

He Li blinked his eyes, seeming to taste the hidden meaning in Liu Shang's words. The final decision on how to develop Liaodong, who will participate, and how to operate it is of course in the hands of Haihan officials, and Haihan has not yet come up with any

A clear rule. If Li Nai used his personal relationship to win the support of Haihan officials, then it would not be considered a violation of the law, because Haihan officials did not stipulate that the development of Liaodong would definitely involve the Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups.

.

But to say that everyone depends on their abilities, Li Nai has personal connections, what abilities does the Jiangsu and Zhejiang business groups have? Probably the only geographical advantage that He Li thought of before is really the geographical advantage, but he is not sure whether the Haihan people really know how to do it.

Pay attention to this point. Liu Shang asked him to "wait and see what happens." Could there be other changes in this matter?

Liu Shang saw that He Li didn't seem to understand the spirit of his words, so he couldn't fully explain it to him. He could only make indirect remarks and said: "Li Nai is Li Nai, and the Fuguang Merchant Group is the Fuguang Merchant Group. They cannot be confused with each other.

.”

When He Li heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "That's it. Thank you Master Liu for your guidance!"

What Liu Shang means by this is that the special treatment that Li Nai can enjoy based on his personal relationship does not mean that the Fuguang Business Group can also enjoy it. The competitors of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Business Group are actually the Fuguang Business Group, not Gao Gao.

Li Nai, who is a level above them. He Li is also a smart man. He has already understood the meaning of Liu Shang's words. If the Fuguang Business Group does not include Li Nai, it will really be a waste for him.

It's not a big threat, at least it gives you a chance to compete.

Liu Shang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter. In my opinion, there is actually no need to fight at all. Liaodong is so big, can you two business groups fill this place? If it is really so powerful, then the Haihan Army will definitely

We will prepare more places in advance for you to continue investing."

He Li smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is joking. We, the small businessmen and hawkers, are not so generous. We are just worried about being squeezed out of this area by our peers."

Liu Shangdao: "Don't worry, Liaodong is big enough to accommodate you and them. Instead of worrying about this, it's better to think more about what business you want to do here."

He Li said: "I have already made a plan. I just want to sign a contract with Mr. Sha after the inspection is completed. But looking at the current situation, I guess we have to wait until these people from Fu Guanglai have also completed the inspection before we can sign the contract together, right?"

"If I ask you to sign first, the Fuguang Business Group will definitely think it's unfair, just like you can't agree to let them sign first." Liu Shang explained: "So you just have to wait patiently for a few more days. The military will

Arrange for them to visit the area north of the defense line, and the inspection will be over."

"They are also going to the north? Then there may be a war?" He Li keenly captured the information in Liu Shang's words.

Liu Shang coughed dryly and said, "I'm not too sure about the military's arrangements. If you want to know, you probably have to ask Battalion Commander Takahashi."

He Li thought for a moment about Gao Qiaonan's dark face all day long, and felt a little frightened. He shook his head and said, "It's better to avoid it. If Battalion Commander Gao Qiao misunderstands that I'm inquiring about military information, it won't be very good."

alright."

He Li had already asked what he wanted to ask, so he didn't delay Liu Shang any longer and left immediately. After Liu Shang sent him out, he saw that He Li had quietly left the unsent envelope just now.

The place where I have been sitting can only be put away now.
