Sail across the sea

Chapter 33 A Small Goal
Chen Xingquan thought he was a smart man.In the past few years, he has been doing sales in various places. Although he has always pretended to be submissive, in fact, every time he negotiates, he can trick the client around and make the client accept his arrangement without knowing it.

This time when he came to Cangtang, Chen Xingquan's plan in advance was to knock Gao Fan unconscious with money first, and then sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Gao Fan, tying Gao Fan to his chariot.He thought about it, when he did this, he would definitely not make Gao Fan feel disgusted, on the contrary, he could make Gao Fan feel that he was the one who took advantage of the cooperation.

But who would have thought that from the moment he met Gao Fan, all his plans fell through.Gao Fan dominated the rhythm of the entire conversation, which instead gave him a dangerous feeling of falling into a trap.

"Purpose, uh, how should I put it..." Chen Xingquan smiled, not knowing what to say.

"Old Chen, do you think the screen printing factory you and your cousin opened can last forever?" Gao Fan asked.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xingquan couldn't react.

Gao Fan said: "The formula I gave you must be very good. However, the technical difficulty of this formula is not great, and it is not considered a top-level formula. The reason why other companies have not found such a formula is mainly because Screen printing is not very profitable, and they have no incentive to look for it.

"Now that you have a new formula, steal their business, and make a lot of money, can others not be jealous? If they want to make this money, or even just to keep their own business, they will find a way to find the same formula .

"Shuinan University, Shuinan Institute of Technology, and so many science and engineering schools across the country, there are many professionals. They don't even need to develop formulas by themselves, just read a few magazines.

"Let me put it this way, you take the 1000 yuan, go to the Chemistry Department of Shuinan University, find a professor at random, and ask him to find a paint formula for you. The recipe is even better."

"Really?" Chen Xingquan's eyes widened, he really hadn't thought about this move.

When he was selling plastic products, he had been to some universities and knew that the wages of the employees in the universities were quite high.But even so, 1000 yuan is still a huge sum of money for college workers.Take 1000 yuan to smash a professor at Shuinan University, maybe you can really hit it.

How could a university professor not be able to write a recipe that a high school student like Gao Fan could write?

Gao Fan is right, his and his cousin's small factory has been booming these days, and has already attracted the envy and hatred of colleagues.If these colleagues find a way to find the same formula, they may be able to find it.At that time, their core technology will no longer be competitive. If they want to fight for contacts and capital, how can they compete with those big factories?

His father Chen Linfa once warned him that his formula might be learned by others.He also knew this, but he still had some luck, thinking that it was possible to maintain the advantage for a year or two, the premise of course being Gao Fan who had the formula.

Only now did he understand that this formula was not a secret, and it would be useless to just mess with Gao Fan.

"Gao Fan, you are right. In fact, my father told me that it is impossible for me to live on this recipe for the rest of my life. The main purpose of my coming to you this time is to thank you. This is the most important thing. In addition, I just have an embarrassing request, I would like to ask if you have other technologies that can make money, we can cooperate in other areas." Chen Xingquan said.

There is no need to hide this kind of words anymore.He could see that Gao Fan's IQ and EQ were higher than his, and he had no less experience in shopping malls than him. Wasn't it for nothing that he played with Gao Fan?
Seeing this, Chen Xingquan decided to change his strategy.He intends to play the image of a simple and kind little white rabbit in order to arouse Gao Fan's sympathy and agree to cooperate with him.

As for the conditions of cooperation...

It is estimated that [-]% of dry stocks will be unstoppable. Is [-]% enough?
Otherwise, at most [-]%, no more!
Chen Xingquan quickly calculated in his heart.

"Old Chen, I want to ask, do you have any goals in doing business?" Gao Fan asked.

"Target, what target?" Chen Xingquan couldn't react, and asked subconsciously.

"It's why you want to do business, and what level of business do you hope to achieve in the future."

"Why do business? This is too simple. Our place is poor, with many people and little land. Each person has only a few fields, and the grain harvest is not enough to eat. We have to eat sweet potatoes for seven or eight months a year, so we can't come out to do business. There is only one way to starve to death."

"If you are poor, you want to change, I understand."

"As for how far you want to do business, how do you say this? At the beginning, I thought I could make some money and eat rice every meal. Later, the business was doing well, and the problem of eating was solved, so I thought To be able to save some money and renovate the house..."

"Are you thinking about building a new house now?" Gao Fan asked with a smile.

"Yeah, why don't you say you don't have enough people?" Chen Xingquan admitted with some embarrassment, "Now in our place, some families who have made money have pushed down the old houses and built those four-story buildings. It’s very beautiful. My father also said that after I save some money, I will build a small building at home. I have two children now..."

"Wait, Lao Chen, how old are you, you already have two children?" Gao Fan was stunned.

"I'm a dog, and I'm 24 this year." Chen Xingquan said, "I got married late, so there are only two. There are three or four of my age."

"Uh, you go on..."

"...No more. You asked me about my goal, and my goal is to build a four-story building."

"According to the speed at which you are making money now, this goal may be achieved within this year, right?"

"That's true..." Chen Xingquan replied with a silly smile.The screen printing business is booming these days, and Chen Linfa has already started looking for people to buy building materials. He really plans to start building a new house in the second half of the year.

"Then, what then?" Gao Fan persuaded.

"Then..." Chen Xingquan fell into deep thought, he really hadn't thought about what he would do after building the house.

I have already eaten the white rice, and the braised pork is also available every meal, and I am faintly tired of eating it.What the city people pay attention to is three turns and one sound, and the family has it all.What is popular now is the so-called "new three items". It is not easy to buy in the market, but the money is ready, so it is not an unattainable goal.

So, what is your next goal?Or, take a concubine?

No, I will be beaten to death by my wife...

Seeing the changing expression on Chen Xingquan's face, he couldn't say anything for a while, Gao Fan sighed bitterly, and said:

"Old Chen, the times are different. Now is a great time that has never been seen in a century. Didn't you plan to set a small goal first?"

"What small goal?"

"Before 1990, earn [-] million first."

"Oh ah!"

Chen Xingquan opened his mouth wide open, completely dumbfounded.
