Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 559: The Lu Brothers, Bonding Interests

How is one's position defined?
First comes background, then personal ability. Background is important, but personal ability is more important. Background can determine your starting point, but personal ability can determine the end point you can reach.

It’s not that Dumani doesn’t want to go to the head office.

Instead, I want to recharge myself in these branch companies first. After I have laid a solid foundation, I feel that I am no longer just a vase. Then, I can be promoted to the head office based on my own abilities.

Instead of promoting her to the head office based on the boss's words alone and then treating her like a vase.

if so.

Then why has she been studying day and night for the past two years, treating herself like a beast, and absorbing business experience like a sponge?
I should have taken off my pants and lay down like a canary!

Lu Yang did not answer her directly.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. If you can make this Zhaoxian branch as good as the main factory in the city, I will hand over Xiao Tiancai to you in the future and make you the iron lady of the business world. In the future, your name will definitely be on the Hurun Rich List of rich women."

Du Manni had never heard of the name Furun Rich List.

Because this name is still in the making, it is a term of the era that will only come out between 99 and 2000, representing an important milestone after the initial stage of reform and opening up in China. Unknowingly, there are already so many billionaires in the country, and their names are beginning to be mentioned frequently in newspapers and media, and the gap between the rich and the poor has entered deep waters.

However, Dumani just thought she had misheard and heard the Hurun Rich List as the Forbes Rich List.

This is a global list.

In 1987, the famous American magazine Forbes published its first list of the world's richest people. At that time, it was called "Forbes 400", which only counted the 400 richest people in the United States. In 400, Forbes launched "The World's Billionaires", which covered the world's richest people for the first time. From then on, celebrities who could top the Forbes Global Billionaires List began to become famous all over the world.

In recent years, the country's reform and opening up has intensified, and media newspapers have also used the celebrities who have topped the Forbes Global Billionaires List to make headlines. As a woman with ambitions in the business world, Du Manni has also heard of the three words "Forbes".

She felt a little funny. After washing her face, she walked out of the bathroom with her wet hair not even dry yet.

Squatting at Lu Yang's feet, he looked up at Lu Yang's face and said, "Boss, isn't your cake too big?"

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked his upper and lower lips, "Aren't you afraid that I'll eat too much?"

This is the limitation of the times.

Even if she had confidence in Lu Yang and believed that this boss was not an ordinary person and was willing to gamble her youth on it, Du Manni would never have thought of it.

One day in the future.

Not only will Lu Yang be on the Forbes Global Rich List, but even she, a little girl who originally was just a teahouse waitress, will have that day.

Lu Yang was not bragging.

Lu Yang was just fulfilling his promise.

He was given the opportunity.

Whether she can seize the opportunity depends on her own efforts. No one can tell what the future will be like, but at least the woman kneeling in front of him has already walked ahead of many people and has a reborn person supporting her behind the scenes. If she still cannot achieve any results, then that is her own problem.

Lu Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't disbelieve me. Look carefully. Pengcheng's Little Prodigy is my attempt to copy Little Genius. I will show you how capital is used to make money. The so-called Forbes Rich List is just like that."

The money on the books looks good, but it is hard to spend and it is also difficult to convert it into money. There is no barometer in the financial market. Sometimes it hail when it says it will. Once there is a bubble in the stock market, the assets of those so-called global billionaires on the Forbes Rich List will shrink by the fucking amount, by hundreds of billions of US dollars at a time. Is this money?

It's not about money.

This is just a numbers game of capital.

The real hidden rich are those powerful families with global layout and countless fixed assets.

They are deeply rooted, not affected by economic barometers, secretly manipulate the economic lifelines of some small countries, and can also decide the regime change of some large countries.

Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time. A century-old family is not built in a day. Although the wealth in the stock market is just a number, being a fat man in finance is also a giant. If you are a giant, you will not be easily knocked down.

Lu Yang’s goal at this stage is to first become a bloated giant.

Therefore, in the future, promoting some marginal industries under his name, packaging them and listing them, and making money in the capital market became a necessary step for Lu Yang.

if not?
When will wealth ferment and expand?

In the next few days, in addition to taking care of Du Manni, Lu Yang devoted some time to people like his eldest cousin Lu Youren, vice chairman of Chashan Coal Mine, company director representative Zhao Shi and so on.

I took some time to chat with them all.

For example, the Meisite garment factory in Shanghuaishu has expanded its number of female sewing machine workers to 1000 this year. These 1000 people are not the ones who do part-time sewing at home, but the ones who have dormitories in the factory and live in the factory. There is a big difference between the two. The former do not have labor contracts, while the latter are formal female workers with labor contracts.

Meisite Clothing has now become a large labor-intensive women's factory. More than 50,000 sets of clothes are produced here every day. Vehicles come in and out of here every day. The goods shipped from here not only flow to the whole country, but also to overseas countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Originally, Lu Yang wanted to develop it and seriously create his own clothing brand for Chinese people. However, due to some reasons, he later gave up on taking the garment industry as his main business. In addition, he also wanted to build a labor-intensive enterprise of his own. As time went by, he eventually became a nationally famous clothing processing factory.

The clothes shipped out of the Meister Garment Factory in Shanghuai Village can be labeled with not only the three characters of the brand "Meister", but also any brand of the customer or other brands according to the customer's needs. You should know that this is only Meister Garment Factory 1. There is also a Meister Garment Factory 2 in the urban area. The scale of the workers in the two factories combined is unprecedented and rare in the whole Baoqing City. Not only does it pay enough taxes and foreign exchange, it also solves the big problem of employment for local women.

It can be said that Lu Yang’s golden body has been erected in Baoqing City!

As long as he doesn't act recklessly or do anything that would anger God and people, no matter what happens in Baoqing City, if anyone wants to touch him, there will be someone who stands up to protect him.

"Brother, you have worked hard these years."

"You are left alone in this village, while we brothers are traveling all over the country. A few days ago, Lao Liu said that he would trade with you. He would come back and stay here for a few years, and let you and your sister-in-law take my eldest nephew to visit the first-tier cities such as Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and Gangcheng to see the extravagant lives of the capitalists outside and see how corrupt they are."

As import and export trade increases, just one office in Yangcheng can no longer meet Lu Yang's needs.

In the future, Lu Yang plans to sell cheap ready-made clothes to foreign countries, and also export some electronic products with technological attributes to exchange for foreign exchange.

So after the sixth brother brought the seventh brother out, Lu Yang sent the sixth brother to Gangcheng, using Gangcheng as a base to open up new overseas sales channels.

"I'm used to staying in my hometown, and I don't speak Mandarin fluently. Plus, your sister-in-law is pregnant with her third child. For all these reasons, I think it's better to forget it, Lao Liu."

"This kid was born in the year of the monkey. He is very smart and can handle foreign trade well. He is not afraid of dealing with foreigners."

"Cousin, believe me, I can't do it. I really can't handle this."

Lu Youren has also trained himself over the years and is at least no longer stage-frightened in front of Lu Yang, but he still retains a bit of his original shyness.

When talking about exchanging jobs with Lao Liu, he waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he really couldn't do it and begged Lu Yang to forgive him. He would rather stay in his hometown and live with his wife and children.

Lu Yang did not persuade him again, but said meaningfully: "Brother, since you don't want to go out for a walk, I won't force you.

You should run this clothing factory in the village well. When I founded it, I thought of running it well as the foundation of our Lu family's inheritance.

The clothing industry is a labor-intensive industry. As long as machines cannot replace manual labor, it will always be a popular industry in the eyes of the government and can solve many local employment targets.

I rarely have time to come back now, so I'll leave my future to you, brother. From this year on, I will no longer take the profits from the garment factory. I will keep them in the local area and use them to benefit the local people.

I don't have any other requirements for you, big brother. I just hope that under the premise of sacrificing profits, it can become a family business of our Lu family that has the hope of being passed down for a hundred years.

After a while, when the head office confirms it, I will allocate some shares of this clothing factory to my eldest brother, as well as the third, sixth, and seventh brothers."

The profit of the garment factory is indeed a bit tasteless for Lu Yang's current size, but its labor-intensive nature makes it impossible for Lu Yang to be willing to kick it out. After much consideration, considering that its factory address is in Shanghuai Village and the Lu family's ancestral hall is also here, he simply made it a Lu family business.

When Lu Yang went out to make his own living, at first only his eldest cousin and Da Jun followed him. Later, as his business grew, more and more people from the Lu family began to gather around him, such as his second sister, his second brother-in-law, his third brother Lu Youren, his sixth brother Lu Youzhi, and his seventh brother Lu Youxin. Over the years, everyone has been receiving a fixed salary, with occasional bonuses and dividends, but no shares at all, and no one has ever stood up to express any complaints.

Lu Yang felt that, in addition to his experience as a reborn person, his current status was also due to the help of his cousins. He could not just eat the meat himself while everyone just watched from the sidelines and could not even drink a few sips of the soup. It was time to share some of the good stuff with everyone so that they could share in the benefits and feel at ease. He felt that Lu Yang would not treat anyone unfairly.

"No, we can't take your shares."

Lu Youren refused to agree with Lu Yang's proposal. "Cousin, to be honest, your achievements today have little to do with us. We all know how capable we are and how much we can earn. Who doesn't know who else is, right?"

He shook his head. "You have helped our family so much over the years. If we still take shares from you, wouldn't that be against our conscience?"

Lu Yang advised again.

He still shook his head. "Even if you give it to me, I can't take it. I have the salary you're paying me now, and the year-end bonus. I can't spend it all in my lifetime. What do I need that money for?"

He is stubborn. Even though he has been the director of the garment factory in Shanghuai Village for many years and is in charge of more than 1000 people, he still retains his simple heart.

But Lu Yang also wanted to keep his word. He had spoken his mind, and how could he take it back? Could he lick back the spit he had spit?
So he said angrily, "Big Brother, if you don't accept it, then Third Brother will definitely feel embarrassed to accept it. If Third Brother feels embarrassed to accept it, then Sixth and Seventh Brothers will definitely feel embarrassed to accept it. If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about them, right?

And my older nephews, you are about to ask your sister-in-law to give birth to your third child, shouldn’t you save some money for them?
How about this, don't say it's a free gift, I'll ask the head office to estimate the value of the garment factory, and you all can come up with money to buy the shares, and I'll give you a 50% discount based on the market price, just like everyone comes up with money to invest in a business partnership, how should this work?"

In the end, there was no other way, so Lu Yang proposed this compromise. After considering it, Lu Youren did not insist anymore and nodded in agreement.

After tying up several cousins, Lu Yang did not let go of the army that followed him. He turned his head and said to the army that was behind him and acted as his bodyguard and driver, "Fool, do you want to invest in it? This is a rare opportunity. I will also give you a 50% discount."

Although Da Jun did not participate in Lu Yang's business management like Lu Yang's cousins ​​during his rise to wealth, he followed Lu Yang around the country over the years, starting with reselling treasury bonds and then reselling fortune certificates, and he has accumulated a considerable fortune. I dare not say how much, but it is at least hundreds of thousands.

Da Jun smiled innocently and didn't bother to be polite with Lu Yang. "Okay, Yangzi, since you take care of me so much, I'll buy some. I'll ask my wife to transfer the money to me later."

Lu Yang nodded. "Don't worry about the money. Calculate the shares first. When you return to Pengcheng, you can transfer the money to the head office account."

After finishing all these, Lu Youren saw that Lu Yang had guests, so he asked Lu Yang to come to his house for dinner when he was free before leaving Zhao County.

He said goodbye.

Lu Yang called in the fat man Zhao Shi again...
