Chapter 177 The big crocodile emerges from the water
The first generation explores, and the second generation eats ready-made food. Xian Yaowen is one of those who eat ready-made food. Not only his nature is carefully crafted, but his acquired skills are also no less generous. The multiple essences of science, theology, and martial arts are all used in his body. He started to get in touch with health care very early. Internal strength.

Qi Longque had almost passed the test of loyalty. Out of reward and the hope that the other party could serve him energetically for a few more years, he taught the other party his family's exploratory and improved Hongquan Qi training method. .

As long as the internal skills of Hongquan are practiced well, the body functions of people in their seventies or eighties can be as young as those in their thirties or forties. Qi Longque has a good foundation, so it is not difficult to practice it. It is just that there is a secret to practicing Qi. Improper practice can easily cause Qi imbalance, and the more you practice, the more your body will become weak. Injuries can easily lead to mental disorders and mental illness. In the initial training stage, a master must be watching and correcting mistakes at any time.

In terms of martial arts style, Xian Yaowen is protecting Qi Longque to prevent him from going crazy. Today is the first time he practices. Xian Yaowen has not mastered the characteristics of Qi Longque's vocals. When he masters it, he will not have to keep staring at it. You can judge whether the practice is correct just by listening to the sound.

After Qi Longque finished practicing, Xian Yaowen read the newspaper for a while. When the time was almost up, he went to the telephone office and made a call, and then headed to Collie Pier.

At nine twenty, he sat in Grace's office.

Grace poured tea for Xian Yaowen and said sincerely: "Xian, I apologize to you again for missing the appointment yesterday. I didn't expect that my colleagues would prepare a welcome banquet for me."

"Grace, there is no need to apologize. It is just an ordinary date. It will be fine if it is rescheduled to today." Xian Yaowen shrugged, not caring that he was let go yesterday. "It is working time now, how about we talk about business first?"

Grace suppressed the only trace of warmth on her face, and said coldly but politely: "OK, Mr. Xian, what business do you want to handle?"

"I am going to bet on rubber futures with others. I need your branch to help me issue several guarantee contracts with a total amount of 200 million ringgit. The head office in Hong Kong should have already dealt with my credit problem. I believe you will be here soon. You will be notified."

Over in Hong Kong, Xian Yaowu went through a series of tedious operations, opened the safe, and followed the instructions to get a letter, which he had already handed into Michelle's hands.

The content of the letter is not complicated. Xian Yaowen plans to make a deal with Michelle. Michelle will help him provide a credit guarantee and ask HSBC to issue a guarantee contract. When the bet is over, he will give Michelle 10% of his profit. If he loses the bet, he will promptly deposit the money into HSBC and let Michelle settle the account.

In the letter, he attached a copy of the deposit certificate in the London bank. The three banks added up to almost more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which was barely close to 200 million Malaysian ringbacks, but it could also prove his repayment ability. He believed that Michelle would follow up. He makes the deal.

In fact, Michelle didn't even think about it for too long before she started handling the credit guarantee matter for him. Not to mention that based on her understanding of him, she believed that he would not destroy the Great Wall, but she was holding on to the 170 million from Friendship Cinemas. There is also the ability to freeze his personal account and China Garments account at any time, so that even if the worst happens, she can recover her losses.

He knows very well that as long as there is no problem with Zhonghua Garment's accounts, there will be no major problems. Zhonghua Garment currently adopts a two-line strategy of income and expenditure. The business funds of the two stores will be directly deposited into the "receipt" account. , no one can withdraw money from the account without going through him.

Before he left Hong Kong, he set up a "payment" account and saved enough for the major expenses expected in the next three months, including wages and supplier settlement. The latter is relatively simple and only requires a transfer, while the former is more cumbersome and requires Cen Peipei. Interfaced with Michelle, the accountant came forward to withdraw the cash, and it was delivered to the factory by HSBC security. Once the money was received, it was immediately distributed to each employee under the supervision of Cen Peipei, and the money was never allowed to stay in the office for more than half the time. Hours.

Cen Peipei will not act alone. Her presence in the factory means that all the free security guards of the Volkswagen Security Guard will temporarily go to the factory for duty.

It can be said that from escaping with the accountant's money to the robbery inside and outside, he was strictly guarding every step. Without his permission, no one could get away with it without suing.

It is precisely because the bank plays a larger role in his strict defense that Michelle has a great say and control over his capital flow, so there is a transaction that has been arranged in advance and is waiting to be triggered.

As for why they didn’t negotiate in advance in person, it’s just because Michelle is too smart and only gives her two choices, pros and cons. It’s easier to reach a deal without bargaining. In addition, she reveals too much to her, which makes it easy for her to trick her out. One line, she guessed some of his operations, which led to a deep and ambiguous binding in the cooperative relationship between the two, and she had to take a share of every benefit.

He still likes to make the partnership relationship clear and clear. Whatever cooperation is required, the partnership should be fixed in that field. Cross-field cooperation is required, which is another partnership. The ratio of investment and income is determined based on the value of the individual in the cooperation. It was good before The partnership has nothing to do with new cooperation and will only play a role in mutual trust and sincerity.

"Michelle?"

"Yeah."

"You and Michelle have a good relationship?"

"not bad."

Grace hesitated for a while and said, "Xian, do you want to start a business in Singapore?"

"You can say that."

"You know, I just started working here and I need to make some achievements. I need your help."

“Aha.” Your business in Singapore hasn’t started yet, so I can’t help you much.”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two chatted for a while. At about eleven o'clock, someone sent a fax to Grace. It was from HSBC Hong Kong. It was about the guarantee contract and informed Singapore that they could move forward. .

[Book friends who have questions about faxes can learn about radio fax. The famous photo "Iwo Jima Flag Raising" was sent to the mainland of the United States through radio fax. ]
This means that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to be officials. If Michelle hadn't been operating, the risk assessment would have been delayed for who knows how many days. Waiting for each level to be cleared, the day lily would have gone cold.

After HSBC handled the matter, Xian Yaowen went to Li Jue and Wang Law Firm again and entrusted some matters regarding the gambling contract to the law firm. After finishing the matter, he called Mai Zhihong and informed him of the bank guarantee inquiry channel. His opponent wanted to check It’s ready to be checked.

After Mai Zhihong hung up the phone, he felt more confident and worked harder to find his opponent.

Singapore is not big, and the rubber circle is even smaller. Mak Chi-hong is just a small person, but he makes a big noise. As his phone calls go out one by one, small fish and shrimps are tumbling up and down with the waves, and the big guys also poke their heads out to observe the movement. , even the biggest Lee Kong Chian is no exception.

As Tan Kah Kee's son-in-law, Lee Kong Chian kept pace with Tan Kah Kee on many matters. Before Malaya was occupied, he participated in many "anti-Japanese national salvation movements" activities. When the Japs pointed their swords at Southeast Asia, he realized that Malaya was Laiya was absolutely unable to hold on and arranged for his family to escape early. He himself also "happened" to go to the United States to attend a rubber industry conference, so he escaped.

Before the war, Lee Kong Chian's business areas began to diversify, expanding into the pineapple and biscuit industries. Lee's multinational business empire already included Malaya, Thailand and Indonesia, with about 3 hectares of rubber and pineapple plantations, about 2 administrative staff, and more than 3 workers.

During the Japanese occupation, Li Guang was formerly an anti-Japanese element. Except for a small amount of assets in Thailand, all other assets were occupied by the little devils. Li's business empire was severely damaged, and the efforts of the previous two decades were almost reduced to ashes.

In 1945, Lee Kong Chian, who was still a wealthy man but much worse off than he had been three years before, returned to Singapore and won strong support from the British Post-War Reconstruction Fund and HSBC, a sub-project of the Marshall Plan, and he began to rebuild. In almost five years, Li's business empire has shown signs of revival, but due to the slump in rubber prices, it is still not comparable to what it was before the war. When it comes to who in Singapore wants the price of rubber to rise the most, Lee Kong Chian, the big landowner of the rubber plantation, is the second one. There are probably not many people who are qualified to say the first. Even if he is dreaming or worshiping God, all he wants is for the price of rubber to rise. The price of rubber is related to Lee. His present and future, and all information about rubber are his concern.

He knew the situation on the Korean Peninsula very well. He had been seeing friction, friction, and friction for several years. He was so anxious that he wanted to go to Lao Jin's house and kick in the door. , fight, fight quickly, cross the 38th line, and capture Cui Yinji (Lee Zhien) alive. Oh (brother), remember, you will win only if you love to fight."

When he first heard that someone was offering 200 million to call, he couldn't sit still anymore. He remembered the black sesame paste that the landlord had eaten when he was a cowherd boy when he was a child. He asked the servant at home to bring him a bowl, and he ate the black sesame paste. Sesame paste made a few phone calls.

It didn't take him much time to grasp the situation. Someone in Hong Kong also told him that "Xian Yaowen is not a fool." A shrewd young man had just put his clothing business on track. He was not looking at the business in Hong Kong, and suddenly went to Singapore and took out 200 million. Is the huge sum of money bullish because he has good news that he doesn't know about?
He was itching, really itching, and really wanted to meet Xian Yaowen, but when he thought about it, whether he went to see Xian Yaowen by himself, or invited someone over, the movement would be a bit loud, or let his second son who just graduated from Wharton Business School Go and get in touch, young people are easy to communicate with.

Xian Yaowen didn't know that he was being noticed by the big boss, so he was busy following his own plan.

In the afternoon, he sat in the lobby of the Dahua Hotel and interviewed the people who came for the interview. He first settled on Chen Jiachang, the warehouse manager. He was a bit dull. He went to a Chinese school until he graduated from elementary school. When he was three years old, he was taken by his mother. He came to Singapore to join his father. He has seven or eight brothers and sisters. He got married very young and has three sons and one daughter. His wife is a third-generation Southeast Asian traveler. The family is equally large.

He has a suitable personality and is a typical example of a monk who can run away but cannot run away from the temple, so that's how it was decided.

The salesperson interview is a little more complicated. There is no academic requirement, but you need to be able to speak three languages, one dialect, one of the four dialects: Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien, and Hainanese. You must also be able to speak Mandarin and English. This The requirements may not seem too high, but they can eliminate most candidates.

If you go to a Chinese school, your English won't work, and if you go to an English school, your Mandarin won't work. To be bilingual, you need to have received continuing education after high school, or have a language learning environment at home or at your previous job. To put it bluntly, you can be bilingual in all three languages. Already a leader among his peers.

Secondly, it also depends on the appearance. It is not good to look too honest and honest. Looks come from the heart. A simple and honest face does not reflect the character, but there is a high probability that he is not good at communication. Xian Yaowen will not spend time on small-probability events. He has a discerning eye and will politely kick you away quickly.

After the long-term relationship, you also need to test your speaking skills, communication skills, and preliminary judgment of character. You don’t want good people who can’t lie and are not thick-skinned enough. What the salesperson wants is to speak with a face without breaking the bottom line of integrity. To lure customers back with colorful lies, you must tell them very skillfully and talk nonsense that can attract customers, instead of just agreeing to the customer's request. The business of charging a hen and selling a bull is something that everyone can do. talk.

He doesn't have time to train salesmen. His original intention is to recruit someone who can start working as soon as he comes. If he meets someone with potential, he doesn't mind having an additional partner.

It was difficult to choose a salesperson. From noon to 5 p.m. when the stall was closed, only one named Zhou Zhanyuan caught his eye. There was no way to find someone to work with. The Singapore office could only be supported by one person.

In the evening, dinner was not arranged at a high-end restaurant. Xian Yaowen took Grace to the streets and tasted civilian delicacies on the streets.

The two first tried rojak with coffee. Grace chose fruit rojak. The sauce and crushed peanuts covered up the core of the fruit. It was impossible to see what fruit there was. Xian Yaowen chose Indian rojak. The spicy peanut sauce was Put it alone so he can see clearly what he is eating.

However, the two people's final reactions were similar. They both expressed that they could not accept the strange taste of rojak and ran away after taking a bite.

They walked around and tried all kinds of food. They only tasted a little bit of everything. Before they knew it, the two of them came to Mituo Road, where Hainanese people live. The market was full of Hainanese delicacies, and the stalls After trying a few snacks, the two of them sat in Qionglinyuan Cafe.

Many cafes in Singapore will act as second landlords, dividing the shop's street location into small areas and subletting them to vendors selling food or cooked food. This can not only share the rent, but also increase the business projects to attract people and eat. People who come from the East and West take a cup of coffee with them, and those who drink coffee come to pay homage to the five internal organs temple.

Qionglin Garden not only has coffee, but also a Wang Gong Gong chicken stall. The stall owner is named Wang Yiyuan. He is in his sixties. It is said that he was the first to sell Wenchang white chicken in Singapore, and the first to learn the roast goose rice method, and sold the white chicken with rice. "Chicken rice" people.

Wang Yiyuan is from Hainan. Since the name of chicken rice spread, Hainanese chicken rice has also spread. Speaking of which, Wang Yiyuan is the founder of Hainanese chicken rice. It’s just that not many people know this old man, but he once worked for him. The lively clerk Mo Lurui founded Ruiji and took away the limelight from Hainanese Chicken Rice. The business was not doing too well.

Xian Yaowen learned about Mo Lurui's story from the newspaper. A reporter who didn't know whether he liked chicken rice or not wrote an article specifically for Mo Lurui on a whim, introducing the characteristics of Hainanese white chicken and chicken rice. Zi made Ruiji famous.

While eating chicken rice, Xian Yaowen told Grace the story of Mo and Wang.

Grace listened to the story, her eyes focused on the busy backs of Wang Yi and his wife, and she asked unconsciously: "Is the communism of the Communist Chicken the communism of the Communist Party?"

"Probably so. If you want to know, you can ask the person involved directly. The elderly person should be able to understand Cantonese."

Xian Yaowen knew that Grace was very fluent in Cantonese. She probably learned it from Lao Guang. It was much purer than the independent Hong Kong and Cantonese he learned. The vernacular he learned had to be mixed with a few English words to be interesting, otherwise it would look cheap.

"Is it polite to ask such a question?" Grace used the temperature change of her cheeks to simulate a roll of her eyes and throw it at Xian Yaowen's face.

"Hmm, so, you did your homework before coming to Singapore?"

Xian Yaowen has a good receptive ability. After several contacts, he has become very accustomed to Grace saying "it's delicious" in a tone that means three of the four members of the family have terminal cancer. He even became interested in knowing when the cold-faced monster would change its face and how to become sexy. look like.

"This is basic, eh(uh)?"

"I think so too." Xian Yaowen nodded, "I forgot to ask you this morning, are you doing some training in Singapore, or are you entering the normal workplace promotion process?"

"I do not enjoy privileges in the bank. I obtained my current position based on my ability and qualifications."

"So, Mr. Sassoon." Xian Yaowen pointed to the rice bowl, "For this meal, we will follow the example of the Dutch and pay for each meal."

Grace put down her fork and gave Xian Yaowen a formal eye roll, "How about I pay the bill?"

Along the way of the food tasting trip, Grace did not sense too much gentlemanly character from Xian Yaowen, nor did she feel that the opposite sex was treated differently. It was as if gender was ignored and it was just like a pair of hungry buddies going out to fill their stomachs together. , without too much care or flattery, she enjoyed this feeling very much.

"I satisfy your request for a treat. Can I also have some coconut rice?"

"Double?"

"No, I hope to eat something else. There is a Cathay Restaurant next to the hotel where I am staying. It serves very authentic Cantonese food. The chef who cooks it is from Hong Kong."
