"This is a private enterprise, so there aren't that many overwhelming New Year's benefits!"
"Besides, the procurement for the entire Tailong Light Industry is almost all assigned to specific manufacturers. Why should I use yours?"
In the office, Song Qing smiled. It was clear that her words were laced with a hint of teasing, not wanting Yu Zhou to have too smooth a business venture.
It had to be said that in the eyes of a formidable businesswoman like Song Qing, Yu Zhou was indeed a rare talent.
This was especially true for the new design drafts he had submitted today. They not only considered the domestic atmosphere but also seemed to have studied the trends in Southeast Asia and even Fusang.
They were not only good-looking but also had a touch of fashion. If such a person were placed in Tailong Light Industry, she even felt that it wouldn't be impossible for the entire light industry to transform into a jewelry and accessories business.
At the very least, with such a person in Tailong Light Industry, their sub-businesses would also flourish.
In this era, the importance of design had not yet been recognized. Such a person, if one could invest in acquiring them, would be an incredible bargain.
It was just a pity that Yu Zhou had refused her last time, and this time, she had asked again, and Yu Zhou had still refused.
"These calendars, desk calendars, and couplets brought back from Wang Hai are not common. Your factory is large and prosperous, so you probably don't care much about these things."
"But for me, this is different!"
"For me, this is an opportunity to officially enter the business world. Of course, for your Tailong Light Industry, it might also be a good thing in the future."
Yu Zhou was stretching the truth, clearly not intending to work for others.
Would Song Qing then set up heavy obstacles, making his business fail, and eventually forcing him to seek a secondary option and work for them?
Song Qing was a smart person and naturally wouldn't do something like that.
Because if she really did that, this person would be impossible to keep.
Then she could only support and foster a good relationship.
Song Qing understood this very well, and the cost of these goods was only ten to twenty thousand yuan, which she could easily afford.
"You certainly have a silver tongue!"
"Alright, we'll take these things. Go to finance to settle the payment later."
"However, I still have something I need your guidance on!"
Song Qing in the office finally stopped smiling.
In fact, she could see that Yu Zhou had a business acumen, and it was quite sharp.
Last time, he had reminded her that if she had the strength, she could look to the north. This had resulted in her acquiring a large batch of industrial equipment in exchange for canned goods.
The former "Big Brother" was in a state of disarray after just disintegrating, and local tycoons and magnates were all looking to pick up bargains.
Naturally, Song Qing was among them, and this time, because she was well-prepared, she had managed to get a relatively large piece of the pie.
Now, she wanted to see what other insights Yu Zhou had.
"After listening to your analysis last time, I knew there were bargains in the north, so this time I've acquired quite a few good things."
"There are so many types of machinery, especially steel, which is cheaper than cabbage. How about it, are you interested in partnering with me?"
Song Qing said with a half-smile.
However, Yu Zhou, sitting opposite her in the office, showed no signs of being moved.
He looked at Song Qing with a wry smile and said, "Do I have the strength to get involved in that kind of business now? Don't joke."
"That trainload itself is terrifying in terms of capital. Even if you asked me to put up one-tenth of it, I wouldn't be able to do it even if I sold everything I owned."
"Moreover, they aren't interested in money there right now. They want light industrial products, especially food and daily necessities. These are things that money can't easily buy."
This was not Yu Zhou talking nonsense.
Everyone knew what that northern region lacked nowadays, so it was difficult to get certain things without being secretive.
As for how someone like Song Qing managed to obtain them, it was simple: she owned a large light industrial factory.
It could be said that the substantial profit this time was essentially due to her having such resources.
Even Yu Zhou's previous analysis seemed less important.
"That's why I'm looking for you! Light industrial products, even secondary food products, we people don't have enough of these."
"You have the channels, so naturally, you fall within the scope of our cooperation."
"You don't need to put up any money; all the capital will be advanced by me. You just need to help me find light industrial products. After the deal is done, I'll give you ten percent of the profit. Of course, these two percent are the total value of the light industrial products you find."
"How about it, this is an opportunity to change your destiny..."
Song Qing said gradually, step by step.
Even sitting opposite her, Yu Zhou felt a cold sweat.
Good heavens, he only knew that Qin Siyue was a future big shot with formidable backing.
But now, it seemed that Song Qing was no less impressive. How did she know he could find the channels?
He now knew that perhaps only Qin Siyue had such things. Since she knew, it meant she knew about the connection between him and Qin Siyue.
No wonder, no wonder she was always speaking indirectly today. It seemed she knew everything but was deliberately holding back from revealing it.
This woman, as expected of someone who could control a large private enterprise, was so formidable in her methods and everything else.
"Since President Song knows some things, you should also know that this matter is not something I can decide. Even if I wanted to compete for these two percent of the profit, I would need the ability to do so..."
Yu Zhou sighed softly. Did he not know that this was an opportunity?
It could even be said to be an opportunity to change his destiny, as Song Qing had said. However, some money you could earn, and some money you couldn't earn no matter how hard you tried.
Given his relationship with Qin Siyue, perhaps procuring a small amount of light industrial products from the other side wouldn't be a big deal for him, but it would be impossible to procure large quantities.
After all, they were at most friends, not a community of shared interests.
"Do you think I would propose this to you without doing any investigation?"
"As far as I know, your connection has a large quantity of light industrial products and secondary food products on hand, and they can't get rid of them."
"That's why I'm coming to you..."
Song Qing chuckled.
But these words struck Yu Zhou like lightning.
Such a huge pie had fallen into his lap?
How was this possible?
