"Thanks to you, it's okay." Chen Dadi laughed very loudly. Although his face was still very rough, he was much more meticulous. He was wearing a suit and a tie. It was hard for people to associate him with the shy farmer in the past anymore.
"What do these people do? They are all here. "
Li He found that the hotel was much livelier than usual. People were coming in and out of the entrance, and many people were squatting on the threshold, smoking. They were wearing suits that looked awkward. When they saw foreigners with high noses, they would stop them and talk to them in limited broken English.
Chen Dadi said, "I think it's a machinery exhibition. The guests staying here are exhibitors. Pujiang Exhibition Center is only five minutes drive from here."
Wu Shuping added, "It's the 1993 International Mechatronics Technology and Equipment Exhibition. It's mainly about mechatronics, using electronic technology to transform traditional industries. We and Zhongqiao have sent people to participate. We are mainly interested in intelligent instruments. "
"I'm not sure about this exhibition." Li He was not familiar with Pujiang Exhibition Center. The exhibition centers he used to visit were Guang Guang Exhibition Center and New International Exhibition Center, which were not built yet. "Are they trying to get customers to export?"
Wu Shuping shook her head. "Of course not. The owners here are small private enterprises. They don't have import and export rights. If they want to export, they have to go through the local import and export companies. They are here to try their luck and see if there are any customers who are willing to be a joint venture. Generally, foreign invested enterprises can enjoy a series of tax breaks and import and export rights. They can also keep 100% of the cash, open a cash account, and use foreign exchange freely. So no matter if it's a private enterprise or a state-owned enterprise, they are all looking for a joint venture. "
Li He smiled and said, "Isn't it easier to register a company in Hong Kong?"
Wu Shuping smiled and said, "They only have export rights, not import rights. But there are also loopholes. Nowadays, many enterprises have registered in the Czech Republic in order to get import and export rights. According to the regulations, as long as you set up a wholly-owned enterprise in that country, you will have the corresponding import and export rights. "
"This seems to be only for socialist countries? The scope is limited. If it's doing import and export machinery, it is more targeted. "As far as Li He knew, only road construction machinery companies were registered in the Czech Republic.
Just as he was about to step in, the grumbling of a few people nearby caught his attention, probably because of the familiarity of the local accent.
"So annoying! When we were at home, you said you were a big shot! Why did it fall so suddenly? Why don't you go all out? " The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was thin and small, and he was complaining to a bespectacled young man.
"I will graduate from high school! I told you I couldn't do it, but you dragged me here! "The young man looked aggrieved." Then what do you think I should do? "
"What should we do? How would I know? "The middle-aged man had a helpless look on his face.
"That's enough. We all agreed to come here to try our luck. If it doesn't work, let's just go back." Another middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt comforted them.
Li He laughed as he listened. He stepped forward and asked, "Brothers, where did you put it?"
They looked suspiciously at Li He who suddenly appeared, and then looked at Chen Dadi and Wu Shuping who were behind Li He.
Chen Dadi was the owner of this hotel. They knew each other, but not because they stayed here.
As for Li He, they had never seen him before. But they were not stupid. A person who could make Chen Dadi follow behind him was definitely not a simple person.
The short middle-aged man said, "Xuchang, what's the matter?"
Li He smiled and said, "We are from the same hometown."
"You are also from Xuchang?" The middle-aged man listened to Li He's accent, and it was not much different from his.
"It's not far from you." Li He continued to ask, "What are you guys arguing about? Do you want to go in and talk? "
"No need, no need." The few of them waved their hands together. They were already embarrassed to stop the guests in this hotel. How would they dare to go in and find trouble for themselves?
"Brother, what's your name?" Li He opened the cigarettes and gave one to each of them. Then, he put his own cigarette into his mouth. He did not refuse when the other party offered him a lighter. He smiled and continued to ask.
"My name is Chen Yousheng." After the short middle-aged man who called himself Chen Yousheng lit his cigarette, he pointed at the middle-aged man and the bespectacled young man and said, "This is my cousin, Chen Youbin. This is my nephew, Chen Lichao."
"My name is Li He." Li He continued to ask with a smile, "Then why are you guys so worried? We are all from the same hometown. Feel free to tell us what's the matter."
"We are looking for a joint venture businessman." Chen Yousheng looked at Chen Dadi embarrassedly and said with a smile, "We are stopping the foreigners at the entrance of this hotel. I wanted my nephew to translate for us, but he couldn't say a word in three sentences. They don't understand what we are talking about, and we can't understand what they are saying either."
Li He asked curiously, "What do you do?"
Chen Yousheng said, "We do hair styling."
"Hair styling?" Li He had never heard of such a thing.
Chen Yousheng said, "It's to take back the hair that was cut off from the head of a girl and put it back together."
"Oh." Li He suddenly understood. "We make wigs. This is the Mechatronics Exhibition. It has nothing to do with you guys."
Chen Yousheng said, "We are mainly here to buy three wires to make wigs. In the end, we didn't sell any, so we are stopping the customers here to see if there is anyone who is willing to cooperate. If there is a joint venture, we can also export."
"Hair styling is the raw material for wigs?" Li He was a little confused. He knew about Xuchang's wigs. Seventy to eighty percent of the world's wigs basically came from Xuchang. In the early nineties, there were only a few things that China could monopolize the international market: Wenzhou lighters, China's chemical raw materials, and Xuchang wigs.
Xuchang was the world's distribution center for wigs.
Later, many people in Li Village started a business to collect hair braids, and they were all sent to Xuchang.
Chen Yousheng nodded. "Yes, yes. We want to make our own wigs and export them ourselves. You don't know, foreign devils buy our hair styling at a low price. After three wires are processed into hair covers, the profits increase by a few times, a dozen times, or even dozens of times. Well, most of the money is earned by the foreign devils. We only made five million US dollars last year. "
"That's not bad." Li He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. He didn't expect this old farmer in front of him to be a multi-millionaire. Such a rich man actually couldn't bear to stay in a hotel that cost two hundred dollars a night. However, he still smiled and said, "Then you guys have a lot of problems. You need three wires and export rights."
"Yes, yes." Chen Yousheng nodded like a chick pecking at rice. Then, he said in annoyance, "This machine is only available in Korea and Japan. They don't sell it, and we didn't see it at this exhibition. Let's go back and develop it ourselves."
Li He said, "This machine isn't difficult. If you pay the right price, there will definitely be machinery factories in China that are willing to customize it for you."
After all, wigs were an unpopular industry, and the market was limited. There were really no machinery factories that were willing to develop it alone.
"That's a good idea." Chen Yousheng slapped his forehead. "I really didn't think of that. Brother, brother, let me treat you to a meal. Let's go inside."
