Chapter Eighty-One: Guan Gong's Birthday(2/8)
He turned around and ordered his two closest confidants to follow him:
"You go and order some good things, I want to celebrate Yaoyang!"
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
The two followers have followed Huo Jingliang for nearly ten years and have a very clear understanding of Huo Jingliang's style. They also know that he values Lei Yaoyang and treats him completely as his son-in-law.
Immediately, the two followers set off directly to find the hotel owner, preparing to order some high-end products that were "not for sale".
At this moment, Lei Yaoyang and the others sat down again. Huo Xixian immediately took out a brand new black mobile phone and handed it to Huo Jingliang to taste:
"Dad, this is a gift from Yaoyang to you. What do you think it is?"
"It's a gift, let me take a look!"
With a smile on his face, Huo Jingliang took the "Big Brother", looked at it over and over, and said with some uncertainty:
"Is this a phone call?"
"uncle has good eyesight."
Lei Yaoyang immediately took over and confirmed Huo Jingliang's statement.
"Dad, how did you tell?"
Huo Xixian was confused.
"Isn't it clearly written on it? There are numbers, answering, and hanging up."
Huo Jingliang pointed to the buttons on the phone. There were indeed many small English words on them.
"And when you called me earlier, the caller ID showed a number starting with six. There is no such number in the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. This should be it."
After hearing Huo Jingliang's explanation, Lei Yaoyang nodded secretly:
"It's really not luck that Lao Huo can achieve what he does today... Just for his observation and analysis, he should be arrogant!"
"I thought I could trick you."
Huo Xixian muttered a few words in a low voice, and then said seriously:
"Dad, this is the gift Brother Yaoyang gave you. It's called a mobile phone. I also chose the number for you, 686... Do you like it?"
"I like it, of course I like it. My daughter and son-in-law gave me gifts together. Even if it's just a piece of paper, I like it! Hahaha..."
Huo Jingliang looked at Huo Xixian, laughed and joked.
As for the title of "son-in-law", Huo Jingliang said it so straightforwardly that Huo Xixian's cheeks turned red again. He glanced at Lei Yaoyang and saw that he didn't refute, and he felt even more happy.
"uncle, actually it was a coincidence that I gave you a mobile phone. Helen and I were walking on the street and saw someone selling a mobile phone. Others didn't believe it, but I happened to have seen it before, so I bought it."
"According to the seller, this mobile phone has just been able to be activated, and not many people in the entire Hong Kong Comprehensive City know about it."
"I think this business needs to be done and I can make a fortune, so I will invite uncle here."
"The mobile phone is just a small gift, but this business is a big gift."
Lei Yaoyang began to enter a serious state, explained a little, and then spoke with confidence.
"oh?"
When Huo Jingliang came here, he thought he was just having a casual meal, but he didn't expect to discuss business. Now after hearing what Lei Yaoyang said, he carefully looked at the "phone in his hand" again.
"People in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market are swarming, doing business and buying things. Even I have never seen such a phone, and a few people outside have seen it. Of course they don't dare to buy it if they haven't seen it. Some people dare to
If you do this kind of business and don't go bankrupt, then you are in trouble with Yaoyang."
Huo Jingliang's grasp of people's hearts is definitely no less than Lei Yaoyang's, he commented grandly.
"Yes! Mobile phones are extremely expensive. If you want to open up sales from the bottom, it is a dead end. On the other hand, it is different. This thing is expensive, but it has its value, especially for businessmen."
"If uncle is one step ahead, dares to make a bet, and obtains the agency rights for the entire Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. Starting from the upper class, opening up sales, and also opening the eyes of the lower class, I am sure that he will definitely make a lot of money."
Lei Yaoyang also expressed his opinion and even thought up ideas for Huo Jingliang.
"Get agency?"
Huo Jingliang frowned slightly, never thinking that Lei Yaoyang's so-called business was like this.
You know, buying goods and selling them is nothing. If you can't sell them, Huo Jingliang can afford the loss.
But agency rights are definitely extremely expensive things, and the money is calculated on an annual basis.
If you really want to talk about agency rights, it cannot be solved with a small amount of money. The key is to use many connections.
After all, Motorola is very famous. Not only is it a century-old company, but call machines are now popular all over the world. With their call machine products, "Motorola" has become world-famous!
In the past, they were only famous in their own fields, but now everyone has heard of their fame in any field.
It was precisely because Lei Yaoyang knew this truth, and also knew that given Mi Zai's current position in the business world, he might not be able to win the entire agency right, that he approached Huo Jingliang.
Of course, Lei Yaoyang was also willing to give Huo Jingliang huge benefits.
"Yaoyang, are you so optimistic about this mobile phone?"
Huo Jingliang has many businesses, but he still has no impression of this emerging industry, so he couldn't help but ask.
"uncle, the times are developing very fast now, and we should also take a longer-term view. Let's just say that this mobile phone is definitely of great value to a successful businessman like uncle."
"With it, no matter where uncle is, he no longer has to look for the landline number, and he can get a reply instantly."
"With this little head start, uncle should also know what a huge advantage it is in the business world."
"So I'm sure that the upper class will definitely like the "mobile phone" thing. But the current price of about 60,000 yuan is a drop in the bucket for them, and they won't care at all."
"Like Uncle said, people in Hong Kong are all swarming. As long as the upper class people use mobile phones, the middle and lower class people will soon follow suit. No matter how expensive it is, there will always be people willing to buy it. This is different from those brand-name luxury goods.
Uncle should be very clear about the truth, so I won’t say too much about it.”
Lei Yaoyang was high-spirited and pointed the way:
"Now the only company in the world that can make mobile phones is Motorola. This product will also be a product they vigorously develop. In fact, without us having to expend much effort, Motorola will publicize it in all directions around the world, causing a lot of trouble.
Everyone knows it."
"We took the lead and negotiated with Motorola about the agency rights for the entire Hong Kong Comprehensive Market before everyone was unsure how this business would turn out."
"When this business starts, we won't need to go out to sell it. People will naturally beg us for goods."
Seeing Lei Yaoyang speaking logically and logically like a speech, Huo Xixian's eyes were filled with admiration as he cut the steak and put the pieces in the bowls of Lei Yaoyang and Huo Jingliang from time to time.
Huo Jingliang thought for a moment, then responded immediately, and said boldly:
"Okay! Since Yaoyang is so optimistic about this business, of course I believe you. I will send someone to negotiate the agency rights tomorrow."
Huo Jingliang was also an extremely smart person, and even if he pulled out a hair, it would be in vain. Without waiting for Lei Yaoyang to respond, he said again:
"Yaoyang, you ask Zhan Mizi to come to my office to find me tomorrow, and we will jointly open a "mobile phone" company. At that time, I will use my connections and negotiate in the name of this company."
Talking to smart people is often so enjoyable. Especially that smart person has a very good relationship with me and may even become a family member.
Lei Yaoyang was also unambiguous. He immediately raised a glass of red wine and said respectfully:
"Thank you uncle!"
Huo Jingliang raised his glass, clinked it with Lei Yaoyang, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hahaha……!"
The two ambitious men looked at each other and laughed with great joy.
Huo Xixian felt extremely happy when she saw that Huo Jingliang and Lei Yaoyang had such a good relationship. She knew how difficult her father was to get along with, and not many people could stand his domineering behavior.
However, Lei Yaoyang is always favored by Huo Jingliang, and Lei Yaoyang is also very good at talking. Every time he and Huo Jingliang are together, the two of them can communicate well, and the results are very good.
"Dad, brother Yaoyang, let's eat first. It would be great to chat while eating. The food is almost cold!"
Huo Xixian was happy and cut things faster. He didn't eat any. Lei Yaoyang and Huo Jingliang's bowls were already full of beef cubes.
"Okay, let's eat!"
Huo Jingliang and Lei Yaoyang also knew each other well and would not let down the fruits of the kind girl's labor. They picked up their knives and forks and started fighting over the beef.
Now that he has decided to get the agency rights and start this business, Huo Jingliang chatted with Lei Yaoyang while eating and drinking:
"Yaoyang, if I come forward to talk about the agency rights, I believe it can be settled. However, I have never been very optimistic about electronic products. Do you know why?"
"uncle please advise."
Lei Yaoyang kept his attitude very low and was indeed curious about Huo Jingliang's thoughts.
I remember that in Genesis, Huo Jingliang had all kinds of companies, but he focused on real estate and finance. He really didn't hear of developing other industries. He basically just let people watch.
From Huo Jingliang's perspective, it was impossible not to see that the electronic products industry was actually very good and at the forefront of the times. Why didn't he do it?
In response, Huo Jingliang ate a piece of beef, took another sip of red wine, and said meaningfully:
"There are so many smart people in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. No matter what kind of business, as long as someone makes money, countless people will soon follow suit. Even if they can't get genuine products, there will be many ways."
Good stuff!
Huo Jingliang's words made Lei Yaoyang understand his thoughts.
It’s no wonder that apart from real estate, Huo Jingliang rarely engages in industry.
