Chapter 1077 Encouragement and Spur
Abao's communication skills are very strong, but the people he can really confide in are only his uncle and Taotao, so he can only open his heart to Taotao and his uncle.

In fact, Taotao has always been wondering why Abao didn't go to Huanghe Road. You know, because of the two restaurants "Begonia" and "Xi Le Hui", Huanghe Road has become a check-in place for Shanghai's nouveau riche.

Many of Shanghai's nouveau riche have used Huanghe Road as a stage to perform. More and more people are running to this street to look for opportunities, and the number of restaurants on Huanghe Road is also increasing sharply.

It stands to reason that with A Bao's mentality of seeking fame through various channels, he would definitely like a stage like Huanghe Road the most. However, A Bao has never set foot in the Huanghe Road area. It was not until today that he found out that Huanghe Road was actually a taboo place for A Bao.

Tao Tao patted A Bao on the shoulder and said, "A Bao, don't take it too seriously. After all, you and Xue Zhi have been separated for more than ten years."

Although he knew that what Tao Tao said was very reasonable, A Bao was still filled with bitterness and frustration. "Although what he said was not wrong! But Xue Zhi will always be a pain in my heart."

"Abao, I still feel that Huanghe Road is a perfect fit for you. If you can make a name for yourself on Huanghe Road, your reputation in Shanghai will also rise, and more businessmen will definitely seek you out for business."

"Okay! Stop worrying about me and go bowling!"

"No more fighting! If you don't go back today, our Fangmei will transform again."

"Hey! Wife control is strict."

After the red-trouser brother Taotao left the Peace Hotel, Abao looked at the Huangpu River outside the window with a melancholy face, feeling that his life and career were bleak.

The uncle naturally noticed Abao's low mood at this time. Perhaps no one understood Abao better than him. "Boss Bao, are you influenced by that Suning again?"

Then Abao expressed his biggest doubt, "Uncle, I'm wondering what Suning's purpose is in doing this. He seems to be really concerned about my affairs."

"I feel strange too! But this isn't the point right now. The point is that Suning's business has already taken off, and you're still here daydreaming about the Suzhou River."

However, at this moment, A Bao retorted nonchalantly, "Huh? Soaring? Participating in the Canton Fair means soaring?"

"That's right! Suning is clearly well prepared. The six beautiful female translators are naturally aiming for a big order. Do you think Suning can't get a big order with their capabilities?"

"Uncle, although I admit that Suning is very powerful and its purple basil clothing is also very high-end, but as far as I know, the Canton Fair has always been the exclusive domain of state-owned enterprises, right?"

"That was in the past! Times have changed. Otherwise, where would Suning have gotten the Canton Fair pass?"

The uncle's words made Abao even more depressed, and then he remembered an idea of his own, "Uncle, Stamp Li and I are planning to form a fleet recently, so that we can look after each other when we go out to trade stocks."

However, the uncle asked in a very pessimistic tone, "Looking after you? Why do I feel like they're lying on top of you and sucking your blood?"

"Uncle, you're being a bit serious. They can certainly help me. Stamp Li is well-informed about Xikang Road and often has a good grasp of stock trading. Aunt Fatty is a retired professional accountant, so she'll save me a lot of trouble with accounting in the future. Commander Cai has been in the stock market since 1985, so he can definitely help me understand every aspect of it."

"Humph! Since you've already made up your mind, there's no point in me objecting."

"Uncle, didn't you also say that if you want to make money quickly, you can't do without the stock market? I can't always be suppressed by Suning."

"Hey! The reason we let you book a long private room at the Peace Hotel isn't just to give you a chance to shine. More importantly, it's so you can get in touch with foreign businessmen right away. Hasn't your foreign trade business been doing quite well over the past year?"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Boss Bao, I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that when you're doing things, you have to be able to endure loneliness. Don't be so careless and do things recklessly. You and Suning have completely different lives."

"Uncle, I understand what you mean. I will also turn the page on Xuezhi as soon as possible."

"Hmph! Remember! Those who achieve great things cannot be hindered by sentimental relationships, otherwise you will never be able to catch up with Suning."

"..."

The uncle always believed that Suning was the "catfish" that motivated Abao. As long as Abao showed a little bit of slackness, Suning would suddenly do something to stimulate Abao.

And the results achieved so far are quite good. The uncle is actually very satisfied with the good results that Abao has achieved at this time, which has far exceeded his expectations for Abao.

In addition, although Suning's business is faster and makes them feel depressed, the uncle understands that this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and it is meaningless to keep complaining and feeling sorry for oneself.

So seeing Abao working hard in the stock market again made the uncle very happy. After picking up the "Shenmin Evening News" on the table again, the uncle felt a little regretful about his rejection of Suning.

……

At this time, Suning naturally didn't know that he had provoked Abao and the uncle again. After all, this year's Autumn Canton Fair had officially begun, and the next step was naturally the show time for his Perilla clothing.

As soon as Suning arrived in Guangzhou, he chose to stay at Baiyun Hotel. You should know that Baiyun Hotel is the first choice for foreign businessmen to stay, and it also makes it easier for him to contact these foreign businessmen.

Then Suning first arranged two beautiful female translators to be stationed at the Perilla Clothing booth at the Canton Fair, while the other four female translators distributed flyers at the entrance of Baiyun Hotel and the Canton Fair, and quickly instilled the word "Perilla Clothing" into the ears of these foreign businessmen.

In addition, all the fabrics used by Zisu Clothing are made with unique technology, and Zisu Clothing has a clothing design concept that is unparalleled in this era. It quickly gained unanimous recognition and high praise from many foreign businessmen.

In particular, the efforts made by Zisu Clothing in anti-counterfeiting made these foreign businessmen trust it and naturally began to place orders, and soon the Zisu Clothing stall became a popular place.

Naturally, Suning immediately called Zhou Ketou in Shanghai to make arrangements. He said, "Master, we have a lot of orders for Zisu clothing recently. The contracts have been faxed back to you. Please arrange for the factory in Shanghai to start production first."

Zhoutou was surprised but told the problem he encountered, "Okay! I'll arrange it. The problem is that there is not much fabric left in the warehouse."

"It's okay! I've already placed an order for a new batch of fabrics, which will be delivered to our warehouse soon."

"That's good."

After Suning hung up the call to Zhoukoutou, he saw a group of people who looked like leaders walking over, and then he realized that the movement of Zisu Clothing had attracted other people's attention.

A young man who looked like a secretary smiled at Su Ning, then pointed at the leader next to him and introduced him to Su Ning, "Mr. Su, this is Mayor Zhang from Bao'an."

Su Ning smiled and shook hands with Mayor Zhang. "Hello, Mayor Zhang! I'm Su Ning from Zisu Clothing."

"Hello, Mr. Su! I heard that your Zisu Clothing business has received a lot of orders?"

"That's good! The clothing factory in Shanghai has already started production, and I believe these orders will be delivered soon."

"Great! I just wonder which knitting factory produces your fabrics?" "Mayor Zhang, our clothing at Zisu Clothing has always been processed by OEM, but we produce the fabrics and brand logos ourselves. After all, doing so can better prevent counterfeiting."

Mayor Zhang touched the fabric and label materials of the clothes on the booth and asked in surprise, "Well, I see your logo material is very special?"

"Mayor Zhang, our brand logo is made of special materials and is absolutely guaranteed to be unique in the world."

Mayor Zhang in front of him simply nodded when he saw the crowded booth, and then left without saying much. For a moment, Suning was a little confused about what the other party meant.

But Mayor Zhang's secretary said to Su Ning, "Mr. Su, our Mayor Zhang wants to meet you at the city government guesthouse at 8 o'clock tonight. I will send a car to pick you up at that time."

"Okay! What's your last name?"

"My surname is Liu."

"Secretary Liu, we're staying in room 606 of the Baiyun Hotel. I'll be waiting for you there tonight."

"Okay! Mr. Su, see you tonight."

Suning was not surprised by the appearance of a big shot. After all, he had expected this since he had made such a big fuss. It would have been a surprise if no one came to him.

……

Although it is still unknown whether Mayor Zhang is interested in his foreign trade orders, it does not prevent Suning from showing up on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. You know, Suning has always wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make his career advance by leaps and bounds.

After Suning was picked up by Secretary Liu in a Santana and taken to the municipal government guesthouse, he soon met Bao'an Mayor Zhang, who was drunk. It was obvious that Mayor Zhang had just returned from a drinking party.

Mayor Zhang, who was drunk, asked Su Ning to sit down, "Mr. Su, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Mayor Zhang."

"Boss Su, would you like coffee or tea?"

"Green tea will do."

Mayor Zhang then looked at Secretary Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, make two cups of green tea for me and Mr. Su."

"Yes! Mayor Zhang."

Secretary Liu soon brought up two cups of green tea, then walked out of the room very tactfully and closed the door. It was obvious that what Mayor Zhang discussed with him today must be something serious.

Mayor Zhang took a few sips of tea and got straight to the point, "Mr. Su, did you invite me here this time because I heard you have advanced LCD technology?"

Suning naturally didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. "Yes! But it's still in the experimental stage and is still a long way from real industrial mass production."

"Mr. Su is too modest! I heard from Lao Cao that your LCD technology is the best in the world."

Su Ning naturally looked at Mayor Zhang with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Mayor Zhang, who is this Lao Cao?"

"Haha, Lao Cao is the bald guy who went to 'Begonia' for dinner with Section Chief Jin from No. 27 a while ago."

"Oh! So Mayor Zhang was talking about Director Cao."

"That's right! It's him! We both worked together at the Science and Technology Association before, so as soon as I heard what he said, I wanted to meet you to talk."

Then Suning looked directly at Mayor Zhang and asked, "Mayor Zhang, what exactly do you mean?"

"Mr. Su, let me be frank. Longda Electronics in Shenzhen wants to purchase this technology and then continue to research and develop it."

"Mayor Zhang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you and Longda Electronics. We have no intention of selling this technology, and we are now able to continue research and development."

"Mr. Su, Longda Electronics is a large, powerful state-owned enterprise with strong technological research and development capabilities. Wouldn't it be better to hand this technology over to a more capable R&D team?"

"Mayor Zhang, let me be honest with you. Liquid crystal technology has a bright future. Our R&D team has invested a huge amount of money and resources, so we absolutely cannot sell it to anyone."

"This..." Mayor Zhang obviously didn't expect Su Ning to refuse so bluntly. After a moment of surprise, he looked at Su Ning again and asked, "Mr. Su, are you interested in building an LCD factory in Shenzhen?"

"Building a factory is a must! However, current technology is not sufficient to support it, and at the current pace of research and development, it will take at least five more years."

"What? Five years?" Sure enough, Suning's words made Mayor Zhang look disappointed.

"Yes! Five years is the best we can hope for. The LCD products in Begonia are very expensive and cannot be mass-produced on a large scale."

"That's a shame! We in Shenzhen are still very optimistic about this technology."

Suning saw that the time was ripe and took the opportunity to express his thoughts. "Mayor Zhang, although our LCD technology is not yet mature, we have another TV technology. If Shenzhen is willing to allow us to build a factory independently, we are ready to officially enter the high-end TV field."

"Oh? What kind of TV technology?"

"Plasma TV! It's a high-end imitation of LCD technology."

"How about building a factory through a joint venture?"

"No joint venture! We just want to invest and build a factory independently."

"Okay! I'll try my best to help you lobby other leaders."

"Thank you very much, Mayor Zhang. After the Canton Fair, I will personally take this new product to Shenzhen. By then, you leaders will have a clearer judgment."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you, Mr. Su, in Shenzhen."
