Hong Kong Movie: Traveling through Hung Hing, you want me to do good deeds?

Chu Feng said happily: "Great. Dad, I'll go get the food ready."

Chu Jianqiang said, "No need, we have already booked it. Adong, please."

Shen Dong nodded and followed Chu Jianqiang into Box No. 1.

In addition to the two, there were Li Xinxin's four daughters, Song Zihao, Achan, Chen Yongren, Chu Feng and two officials from the Education Department.

After everyone sat down, Chu Feng attentively poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Shen Dong could naturally guess the purpose of his shameless entry. He smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, you are so anxious to find someone to cooperate with. Is it because your Yandu Second Textile Factory has problems?"

Chu Feng was stunned, as if he didn't expect Shen Dong to ask so directly, and turned to look at Chu Jianqiang.

Chu Jianqiang said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me? Just tell me. Adong is your brother Xinghua's good friend, don't hide anything from him."

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Brother Dong, to be honest, the domestic textile industry is very competitive now. Especially with the rise of major textile companies in the south, our textile factories in the north have been overstocked with fabrics. For example, our Yandu Second Textile Factory, our original customers have been taken away by factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now our warehouse is full of fabrics produced in the past six months. If we can't find a partner, our factory will have to close down."

Chapter 436: The Dilemma of the Textile Factory

Shen Dong didn't know much about the textile industry, so he asked, "Aren, do you know about the Second Textile Factory?"

Chen Yongren said: "Brother Dong, our factories are in Zhengcheng and Pengcheng, and most of the fabrics we use come from local companies. Now that our market share is increasing, there is indeed a big gap in fabrics. Recently, we have been looking for suitable companies to cooperate with. The three major textile factories in Yandu are all within our scope of investigation."

"A week ago, the purchasing department bought a lot of fabrics they made, and found that the quality of these fabrics was not very good. Especially in terms of dyeing, the craftsmanship was extremely poor. We did an experiment and found that washing a piece of red fabric can dye at least three basins of water red."

It seemed that he was afraid that Shen Dong would purchase fabrics from Yandu Second Textile Factory for the sake of the Chu family, so Chen Yongren's comments were very impolite, which made Chu Feng look a little unhappy.

"Mr. Chen, right? Our fabrics shouldn't be this bad, right?"

Chen Yongren said: "That's because you haven't seen the fabrics made by other textile mills. Not to mention other places, just Zhengcheng and Pengcheng, the quality of the fabrics there is far better than the three major textile mills in Yandu."

Chu Feng said: "But their prices are much more expensive than ours."

Chen Yongren nodded and said, "That's right. For the same piece of cloth, they charge 20% to 40% more than you. However, we would rather buy expensive cloth than cheap cloth."

Chu Feng was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Chen Yongren said: "Because our Tengfei Garment Factory is to build a brand. Even low-end clothing must meet quality standards. We will never allow Tengfei's clothes to fade or shrink after washing."

"Mr. Chu, the competition among major clothing companies in Xia Country is extremely fierce. Xia Country has a consumer market of more than one billion people. Although it is still in its early stages, it has unlimited potential. No clothing company will give up easily."

"Especially in the past six months, 24 well-known foreign companies have entered the mainland, and the competition will be even more intense next year."

"If you want to stand out from so many competitors, you must pay attention to the quality of clothing, and fabric is the most important part."

"If the fabric is not good, no matter how good the style of the clothes is, it will be useless."

"Mr. Chu, if you want to get out of this predicament at Yandu Second Textile Factory, you must reform from the inside out and put a lot of effort into fabric technology."

"Otherwise, you will be eliminated from the market very soon."

Seeing Chu Feng's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was about to drip out, Shen Dong coughed and said, "Ah Ren, how can you talk like that? Apologize."

"Yes."

Chen Yongren did not hesitate at all, picked up the teacup directly and said, "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry, I'm too straightforward and don't know how to beat around the bush. Please don't mind."

When everyone present heard this, they knew the implied meaning of Chen Yongren's words.

I just said something unpleasant, but it doesn't mean I was wrong.

Chu Feng knew very well the importance of Tengfei Clothing Company in the Xiaguo market. He forced a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Chen, you are too polite."

The two clinked their teacups and each took a sip.

This matter is over.

But Chu Feng obviously didn't intend to give up, and said: "Boss Shen, Boss Chen, can you spare some time to visit our textile factory and give us some guidance on our work?"

Shen Dong laughed and said, "Uncle Chu, your son has a spirit of perseverance, which is rare."

Chu Jianqiang said, "This kid is really stubborn sometimes. Adong, I have also heard about the problems of the three major textile factories in Yandu. Their operations are in trouble, affecting the livelihoods of more than 10,000 employees. If you can go there and show them a way out, it would be a great help."

Shen Dong said, "I am not familiar with the textile industry, so it would be useless for me to go there. How about this, Ah Ren, after dinner, you and Mr. Chu go there."

Chen Yongren nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen."

Chu Jianqiang said happily: "Great. Mr. Chen, thank you for your help."

Chen Yongren quickly said, "Director Chu, you are too polite."

Tan’s cuisine is indeed very good.

Even ordinary rapeseed can be fried to be tasty and fragrant. Shen Dong and the four girls were very satisfied with the meal.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Shen Dong looked at Chu Feng and said, "Mr. Chu, I am very interested in the Siheyuan in Yandu. You have a wide network of contacts in Yandu. I wonder if anyone is willing to sell a Siheyuan?"

Chu Feng felt that this was a great opportunity to get closer to Shen Dong, and immediately said, "A lot. I know of five or six courtyard houses that are ready to be sold. If Mr. Shen wants to buy one, I can go and ask around. By the way, do you have any requirements?"

Shen Dong said: "It has to be big enough, at least more than 500 square meters."

Chu Feng exclaimed, "Five hundred square meters? Mr. Shen, the current housing price of a courtyard house is about three thousand per square meter. A five hundred square meter courtyard house will cost at least one and a half million. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "As long as the location is suitable and there is no dispute over the ownership, I will take as many courtyard houses as there are in Yandu."

Are you kidding? A courtyard house with an area of ​​more than 500 square meters is only worth 1.5 million yuan. It is so cheap.

If Shen Dong doesn't take advantage of the low price to buy a few more sets, he would be no different from a fool.

Chu Feng was so shocked by Shen Dong's words that his eyes almost popped out. He asked, "You mean buying a lot of sets?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. With my ability, I should be able to buy a few hundred sets. Please help me find out. Money is not a problem."

Chu Feng was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Shen, I really admire you. Do you think highly of Siheyuan?"

Shen Dong said: "To be precise, I am very optimistic about Yandu's real estate. In the next 20 to 30 years, Yandu's housing prices will definitely skyrocket. Especially for a scarce resource like a siheyuan, it is not impossible for the housing prices to increase by dozens of times."

In the past, the price of a courtyard house in the third ring road of Yandu started at 100,000 yuan per square meter, and the better ones could reach 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.

Even so, Yandu courtyard houses are still in high demand, which shows how popular they are.

Chu Feng said: "Hearing what you said, I want to buy a few courtyard houses."

Chu Jianqiang snorted and said, "Do you have so much money?"

Chu Feng said awkwardly: "Dad, I was just bragging."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Just because you can't afford it now doesn't mean you won't be able to afford it in the future. Mr. Chu, although this is the first time we meet, I find that you have several qualities that are essential for a successful businessman. If you want to start a business in the future, you can find me."

Chapter 437 Deliberate Friendship

When Shen Dong came to Yandu, in addition to planning and building the Hope Project, he also hoped to make friends with young people from various families.

The Chu family is not considered a top family in Yandu, but it is definitely a first-tier family.

As the third generation of the Chu family, Chu Feng’s network of contacts is extremely important to Shen Dong.

Shen Dong hopes to get to know the children of those big families through Chu Feng, and it would be best if he could bring them on board.

As long as he has these princelings as his protective umbrella, Shen Dong can achieve twice the result with half the effort in any business he does in Xia Country.

Chu Feng seemed to have received recognition from a big shot for the first time. He was a little excited and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for thinking so highly of me. If there really comes a day like that, I will definitely go to Hong Kong Island to ask you for advice on doing business."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Shen Dong looked at Chu Feng in such a different light, Chu Jianqiang was very happy.

After eating and drinking, Chu Jianqiang pulled Chu Feng aside and told him to do the task assigned to him by Shen Dong well.

Chu Feng naturally agreed.

"Adong, you've been traveling a lot today, I won't disturb you guys to rest."

Inside the Yandu Four Seasons Hotel, Chu Jianqiang said with a smile.

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Okay. Let's discuss the specific matters tomorrow."

After Chu Jianqiang left, Song Zihao asked in confusion: "Brother Dong, I don't understand why you are so deliberately trying to make friends with the Chu family? As investors, it doesn't seem necessary for us to do so."

Shen Dong did not answer Song Zihao's question, but asked: "Ah Hao, do you know what the biggest difference between the inland and Hong Kong Island is?"

Song Zihao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Shen Dong looked at Qiu Ti and said, "Qiu Ti, what do you think?"

Qiu Ti said: "Hong Kong Island is a money society, while the mainland is a human society."

Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Absolutely right. In Hong Kong Island, which is ruled by the Eagle Sauce, as long as you have money, you can do almost anything. But in the mainland, even if you are a billionaire, you have to follow the rules honestly. Money is not omnipotent."

"The reason why I deliberately made friends with the Chu family is because the Chu family is a very powerful family in Yandu. Through this young master of the Chu family, I can make friends with children from other families. We have money and they have power. If the company has any difficult problems in Xia Country in the future, I can solve it with just one phone call."

Song Zihao suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."

Others also showed admiration.

After resting in the hotel for an afternoon, Shen Dong took everyone out for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening.

As soon as I walked out of the hotel, I ran into Chu Feng and Chen Yongren.

"Mr. Shen, are you going to have dinner?" Chu Feng asked.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "That's right."

Chu Feng patted his chest and said, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll take you there. In Yandu, there is no place that I, Chu Feng, don't know."

Shen Dong said: "We want to try the special snacks of Yandu."

Chu Feng said: "There are many snacks in Yandu, including roast duck, stinky tofu, stewed pork, shabu-shabu mutton, fried tripe, donkey rolls, etc. I can take you to the famous Wangfu snack street. There, everyone can eat everything."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Master Chu."

An hour later, everyone arrived at Wangfu Snack Street.

The street is very busy, with all kinds of things for sale.

We walked and ate at the same time, feeling very comfortable.

Shen Dong and Chen Yongren walked to the end and asked softly, "How about the Yandu Second Textile Factory?"

Chen Yongren shook his head and said, "The equipment is very old and outdated, the fabric quality is average, and the dyeing process is the worst I have ever seen."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Is there nothing worthy of praise?"

Chen Yongren said, "Yes. Their factory is very large, with a total of 1,300 acres of living area, work area and factory buildings. And their employees are very skilled. Brother Dong, you don't really want to cooperate with them, do you?"

Shen Dong said: "Cooperation is impossible. What do you think if we turn the three textile factories in Yandu into our Tengfei Textile Factory?"

Chen Yongren's eyes lit up and he said, "If it can be done, it would be the best."

Shen Dong said: "The three major textile factories in Yandu are on the verge of bankruptcy. If they want to survive, they must reform. And this is our opportunity, because reform costs a lot of money."

Chen Yongren said, "I heard from Master Chu that Yandu No. 2 Textile Factory now owes the bank a lot of loans, and the workers' salaries have not been paid for four months. The fabrics in the warehouse are piled up like a mountain. If they can't sell them for another two months, they will really go bankrupt."

Shen Dong said, "Aren, go check the situation of the three major textile factories these days to see which factory is in the worst situation. To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in textile factories, but those plots of land will definitely be very valuable in the future."

The three major textile factories are all near the Third Ring Road, with a very good location.

If he could buy one of the textile factories, Shen Dong would make a fortune just from the land transfer in twenty years.

Chen Yongren said: "I will ask someone to check it out tomorrow."

After walking around Wangfu Snack Street for more than an hour, Shen Dong said, "Mr. Chu, let's stop here tonight."

Chu Feng said, "Mr. Shen, didn't you say you wanted to buy a courtyard house? I asked around. The Xue family has a 1,600-square-meter courtyard house for sale. It's located within the Second Ring Road, only five kilometers away from here."

Shen Dong's eyes lit up and he said, "Can you help me contact him?"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "I have already contacted Xue Shan. Let's meet at the Jiutian Private Club at 10 o'clock tonight."

"Jiutian Private Club?"

Shen Dong asked, "Is this the place you wealthy young men like to go?"

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes. Mr. Shen, would you like to come with me?"

Shen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

Li Jie said: "Brother Dong, I will go with you."

Tian Yangsheng said: "I want to go and see it too."

Shen Dong knew that the two were worried about his safety, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Yandu is the safest place in the entire Xia Country, no one will do anything bad to me. What's more, I don't think anyone can hurt me."

Li Jie said: "Brother Dong, I am your driver and can drive for you."
