Chapter 259 The Wind Rises (asking for monthly ticket)

1979 was the first year of reform, and everyone initially seemed to understand the high-level reforms.

But by the end of the year, with the introduction of various policies by the country one after another, especially the continuous popularization of Western economic theories and knowledge to senior officials, most people have completely understood the direction of the wind.

Therefore, it triggered a huge discussion at the national level.

After all, this change is a complete revolution in people's cognition over the past years.

After all, we have always been hostile to the West. It would be fine if we just wanted to improve relations now, but we also have to study and learn their systems. This is hard for many people to imagine.

Li Changhe knew that the wind was blowing back from the opposite direction.

It is not yet Li Changhe's turn to get involved in such national affairs.

Of course, he didn't want to jump out and stand at the forefront.

So during this period of time, Li Changhe has made up his mind to stay in school and not waste time.

Therefore, this time when discussing the joint venture and production matters with the higher-ups, Li Changhe planned to leave it to Weiers.

Anyway, this matter is negotiable. Even if you want to be the first to try it, you have to wait for many people to change their minds. So this cooperation is not so easy to negotiate.

Li Changhe also wanted to take the opportunity to train Wei Er Si.

After all, there will be many places where he will be needed in the future.

"Well, it's really not easy for you to come forward in this matter, so I'll come forward."

Weiers didn't know about the changes in the country. He simply thought that it was not convenient for Li Changhe to come forward and negotiate with the country.

"I guess you'll have to talk about this slowly, so be patient when the time comes."

"There is one more thing. Aren't Zhao Jincai and his team going to produce high-end suitcases?"

“I found them a designer!”

"Designer? Who?"

Wells said in surprise.

"Pierre Cardin"

"He's in Beijing right now, but I've already told him to come to Hong Kong Island to sign the contract!"

"When he arrives in Hong Kong Island, you help me register a company, and then we can start a company together!"

"Opening a company together?"

Weiss asked in surprise.

Li Changhe then shared his ideas for cooperation with Weiers.

At this time, Wells took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket.

"Changhe, let me record it!"

"First, the company needs to confirm with him the rights to use the Pierre Cardin brand. We want the rights to use the brand in Asia except Japan, right?"

"If he really doesn't want to give it, we can give it to countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia."

"West Asia and Central Asia are of no significance to us for now!"

Li Changhe said calmly.

In fact, the markets that can be radiated in the future are at most mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Li Changhe doesn't care about other things.

"India is also a country with a very large population, and the market has great potential!"

Wei Si thought for a moment and said.

"No hope, there is no hope over there!"

Li Changhe shook his head and said disdainfully.

Many people in later generations still advocated for India, saying that India would be the next China after reform.

Li Changhe just wanted to laugh after hearing this. People who truly understand India don’t have such expectations at all.

Most Chinese people don’t know that when India became independent, its industrial capacity was ranked tenth in the world!
Yes, it ranks tenth in the world, second only to those developed countries in Europe and the United States.

The reason is that India gained independence peacefully and has never experienced war, and Britain left behind a large number of industrial systems and equipment there.

This is also the reason why Nehru was so arrogant in the 1950s and 1960s. From the hardware point of view, India at that time was the top emerging developing country!

Then seventy years passed, and Li Changhe wanted to laugh at India's development.

So in Li Changhe's eyes, that place has no market value at all.

"Okay, then we also need to look for a suitable textile group, right?"

Wells continued to ask.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, let's see if there are any textile groups in Europe and the United States that are poorly managed and about to go bankrupt that we can take over."

"Especially those with sufficiently advanced technology and equipment, because I want to move them here."

Li Changhe said to Wei Er Si seriously.

He did not mention the name of the Velote Group directly. After all, it was not necessary to acquire this company.

You can let Wells look for it first. If there is a more suitable one, give priority to technical equipment. At worst, you can expand the scale and acquire Velot, and take over Dio by the way.

This is not an essential business, and the spring of the luxury goods industry would not come until the 90s, when the United States became the only dominant player.

The Americans in the 2000s and the Chinese after are the two main forces in the luxury goods consumption market.

Of course, the late 1980s was also interspersed with the explosion of books, which was considered a semi-main force.

"I see. What else?"

"Well, let's add one more thing to Pierre Cardin: if he wants to sell his shares, we have priority."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"it is good!"

"In other words, the company we will cooperate with next will focus on textiles and clothing?"

"Yes, and we will focus on the mid- and low-end markets. But there is no rush. Let's get the textile business done first."

Li Changhe was not in a hurry to sell because the global market was actually very small in the 1980s, and the market economy could be said to be limited to the territory of NATO.

The Warsaw Pact could not gain entry, and countries in Southeast Asia and South America were still in chaos. Even in Po County, gangs were rampant and the market had not been developed at all.

The emergence of the Four Asian Dragons and the Four Asian Tigers still had to wait until the United States had dealt with Japan and then transferred industries out, only then could the market be nurtured.

Now they are still in the initial stage of taking over, and their internal political power is still in constant dispute.

"Okay, I've got it all down!"

"By the way, after you go back, you have to help me do something!" Li Changhe remembered Lin Yifu's commission again, and then said to Wei Ersi.

"you say!"

"Global Shipping should have business on the other side of the island. Can you help me find someone there?"

"He's a relative of my classmate. I'll write down the address for you later."

"Don't look for them openly, just look at them secretly to see how they are doing. If they are having difficulties, find a reason to help them."

"After all, you know that if they knew that there were relatives from the mainland, it would be very risky."

Li Changhe said to Wei Er Si seriously.

Wei Er Si thought for a moment: "Looking for relatives, I understand!"

"That's easy to say. It's even easier with the address."

"Remember, don't make a big fuss about it. Keep it secret first."

"understand!"

Wells nodded.

"Okay, that's basically it. For the rest, I'll go to Hong Kong Island again during the winter vacation."

"we'll talk about it then!"

"Okay then. I'll report to you by telegram about the cooperation with Pierre Cardin. If there's anything urgent, I'll call you."

Wells began to speak.

Li Changhe nodded.

He actually didn't like making phone calls very much. These days, overseas calls had to rely on Director Lu for a call, which was troublesome.

Another thing is that phone monitoring is also very easy and not as secure as people might think in the future.

"Okay, that's it. I'll think about the details when I get back!"

"Let's eat first and then leave!"

After the two men had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Changhe came out pushing his bicycle.

"Want me to take you there?"

"Don't!"

"Bicycle? I haven't ridden one in more than ten years. You go by yourself. I'll just go along this road. I remember the way here."

Zhang Shiqi's courtyard was not far from the Friendship Hotel, and Wells had memorized the way when he arrived.

"Okay, then go back!"

"Anyway, you are Chinese and we won't arrest you immediately if you go the wrong way."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

It just so happened that he didn't want to give it to her. If someone saw it, it would not be a good thing.

Seeing Li Changhe riding away on his bicycle, Weiers' eyes showed a look of surprise.

This guy is a billionaire now, so why does he seem so content with his current status quo?

Living in this old courtyard and riding a bicycle seems to be a happy thing.

There was one thing he didn't tell the truth. It wasn't that he hadn't ridden a bicycle for more than ten years. It was that he had never touched that thing since he was born.

So he didn't want to sit either.

The mainlanders he came into contact with along the way, including many foreign affairs translators, all spoke of the outside world with surprise and even a hint of envy.

Only Li Changhe rode in a Mercedes-Benz, stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, saw Mr. Bao's luxurious villa, and ate a sumptuous seafood feast.

But during the contact, there was not the slightest trace of nostalgia for that place.

Is this what the ancients said, do not be happy with things or sad with yourself, so he can use the perspective of an observer to accurately judge some things.

Perhaps, this is the difference of genius?
Li Changhe did not ride his bicycle back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.

It was so far away in the middle of the night and the weather was cold, so he was too lazy to go back and just rode his bike back to the staff quarters.

His own house is gone, but his wife's house is still there.

Li Changhe returned to the staff quarters, parked his bicycle, and then went straight to his father-in-law's house.

He had a key, unlocked the door, and walked inside.

Hearing the door open, Liu Shuwan looked over curiously, then saw that it was Li Changhe, and was a little surprised.

"Changhe, why are you back?"

"Mom, I have something to do after school tonight. It's too late to go back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment. I'll stay here for one night and go to school tomorrow."

Li Changhe said with a smile after entering the room.

"Okay then. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"If you haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the house and make you something?"

Liu Shuwan asked with concern.

She couldn't be more satisfied with her son-in-law, and could say that he was impeccable.

Therefore, many people are concerned about it.

Li Changhe waved his hand: "Don't bother, I've already eaten and I'm back."

"Okay, then you stay here and chat with your dad. I'll go cut you some frozen pears."

"The hospital received a batch of frozen pears from the northeast some time ago, and we shared some. I wanted to share some with you, but your father was too lazy to share, saying that you didn't need anything."

When Professor Zhu heard his wife putting the blame on him, he couldn't help but put down the book in his hand.

"I didn't mean to give it to them. I meant that they can just take it back when they come over on the weekend."

"Anyway, it's cold now, and frozen pears won't go bad!"

There are limited fruits available in Beijing in winter, basically Guoguang apples and frozen persimmons.

Frozen pears and oranges are relatively rare these days.

Of course, these days, there is also the undisputed king of fruits: the banana.

At one yuan per pound, it is more expensive than the durian of the future when converted into commodity prices.

Well, thinking of this, Li Changhe felt that he could buy some bananas this year during the New Year and put them at home to entertain guests.
