Chapter 776 We can't do it, no one can do it
"If he is willing to cooperate with us, I can guarantee that as long as they can provide enough tobacco, I can make Yellow River cigarettes a famous brand in Shanghai within three months."
Chen Yang was very confident when he said this.
It took Mr. Bao three months to turn Sanyang brand T-shirts into a famous brand on Nanjing Road.
In the same amount of time, Chen Yang was able to make Yellow River brand cigarettes appear in every corner of the Shanghai market and become a model of famous cigarettes.
Gao Tianjiu nodded and said, "Boss, I understand. I'll go talk to him."
Shanghai, Zhabei District, Xiaotong Bridge.
Gao Tianjiu hung up the phone, opened the door of the study and walked downstairs.
In the living room on the ground floor, two men were sitting in chairs drinking tea.
The two men were about ten years apart in age. The middle-aged man was estimated to be over forty years old, with an elegant temperament and a handsome face.
The other one was in his early thirties, looked arrogant, and was not as approachable as the other one...
These two people were none other than He Yingrui and his nephew and secretary, He Qiuwu, who had traveled all the way from your province to Shanghai.
"Master Jiu." Seeing Gao Tianjiu coming down, the two of them stood up at the same time and greeted Gao Tianjiu.
Gao Tianjiu waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Mayor He, I dare not call you Master Jiu in front of you."
He Yingrui lowered his attitude and said with a smile: "My courtesy name is Jiwu. Judging from my age, I should be a little older than Master Jiu. If Master Jiu doesn't mind, you can just call me Brother Jiwu."
Gao Tianjiu was a little surprised when he heard this.
In addition to being the mayor of your city, He Yingrui is also the younger brother of the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of the Nationalist Government.
It's such an honor for me that he calls me his brother.
It seems that in order to make this deal happen, He Yingrui really lowered his profile to the lowest level and was willing to make friends with a gangster like him.
Gao Tianjiu smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite, Brother Jiwu, our boss means that we don't need tobacco for the time being."
"If Brother Ji Wu is really sincere, then he wants the pig bristles from Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province."
"How is that possible?" Before He Yingrui could say anything, He Qiuwu next to him could no longer sit still.
"Master Jiu, the pig bristle business is Mr. Song's exclusive business. Do you dare to steal his business?"
Gao Tianjiu picked up the teacup beside him, scraped off the foam with the lid, took a sip and said, "Brother Ji Wu, this is what our boss meant."
"We at Xiaotongqiao are doing business. When doing business, we naturally seek wealth, not power."
"If you are willing to help with the bristle business, our boss can also help you sell tobacco."
"He said that within three months, he could make your tobacco a famous brand in Shanghai."
"You can go out and ask around about Xiaotong Bridge's reputation. My boss said three months, so it must be three months."
"Of course, the premise is that you have enough supply. If the output is still seven or eight boxes a year, my boss doesn't have that ability."
He Yingrui's breathing seemed a little rapid.
This time we came to Shanghai to purchase machinery and equipment in order to increase the output of the cigarette factory by ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times.
Otherwise, he would not have risked being caught by the Japanese and went to Shanghai alone.
Among all the cigarette factories in China, only the Shanghai Cigarette Factory has the best equipment and the highest output.
Your province has a lot of tobacco leaves, but the machines are still old-fashioned equipment. Not to mention the output and production capacity, even the quality is not up to standard.
However, Chen Yang's assurance gave He Yingrui a glimmer of hope inexplicably.
But this bristle business...
Whether in the mountain city or the local area, everyone knows that this is the business of Mr. Song from the Song family.
In the past, in order to seize the pig bristle business, Kong Erlangzi did not hesitate to turn against his uncle, and finally even reported the matter to the higher-ups, causing the Kong family to lose all their face in Shancheng.
One can imagine the profits of this business, as it can make Kong Erlangzi so shameless.
However, He Yingrui coveted this business not for himself, but for the economy of your province and its millions of people.
Besides, Guizhou Province and Yunnan Province are not mountain cities. People with the surname Song can run rampant, but in Guizhou Province, people with the surname He still have the final say.
"How is it, Brother Jiwu?" Gao Tianjiu put down the teacup and asked slowly.
He Yingrui stood up and said, "Master Jiu, I promise you, as long as you can get me the equipment, our He family will help you collect the pig bristles from Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province."
He Qiuwu's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Wait a minute, do you want to discuss this with Uncle San?"
He Yingrui frowned and said, "I'll make the decision on this matter, so you should keep quiet."
"Are you worried that you won't be able to get the job done by the Japanese?"
"He Qiuwu, remember, your last name is He."
He Qiuwu's whole body trembled, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
That’s right, a big reason for coming to Shanghai this time was because of He Qiuwu’s persuasion.
He Qiuwu is the mayor's secretary. After the Osaka Chamber of Commerce entered the southwest, he quickly made friends with senior officials of the local government.
He Qiuwu was young and not experienced enough, so he was quickly conquered by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.
However, it cannot be said that He Qiuwu gained nothing. At least when he talked with Mitsuo Ono of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, he learned that the Osaka Chamber of Commerce had been driven out of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and all its sales networks had been swallowed up.
They are now entering the southwest region in order to revive their materials business by taking advantage of the Burma Road here.
However, things did not go so smoothly. There was another Southwest Transportation Director on the Burma Road, Mr. Kong.
This person is the most greedy one. If you want to build a complete material network, you must get his permission.
The Osaka Chamber of Commerce was slowly building its network while pretending to be friendly with the director of Southwest Transportation.
They even planned to show their goodwill to Mr. Kong by swallowing up Mr. Song's bristle business.
If Chen Yang takes this business first, then...
He Qiuwu glanced at He Yingrui, who had an expressionless face. He seemed to know everything but just didn't say it.
"Since Brother Ji Wu has agreed, then it will be easy." Gao Tianjiu clapped his hands and said, "Do you want to wait in Shanghai or go back to Guizhou Province?"
"Our boss said he would deliver the equipment safely to Guizhou Province and ensure that nothing would go wrong."
"But the prerequisite is that you have to send a batch of pig bristles as a deposit."
“After all the equipment has been debugged, the remaining bristles will be delivered.”
He Yingrui nodded and said, "No problem. We will take the train back tomorrow and start purchasing bristles right away. I hope Master Jiu will not break his promise."
"These devices are related to the livelihoods of millions of farmers in Guizhou Province. We must not take them lightly."
Gao Tianjiu laughed and said, "Brother Jiwu, in Shanghai, if there is something that even our Xiaotongqiao can't do, then you don't need to look for anyone else."
"Because we can't do it, and no one can do it."
Three chapters completed, the New Year is coming soon, please give me some money...
