Chapter 156 I Want the Emerald Necklace
Sam continued:
"In fact, I don't want to stay in the foreign companies in the north anymore. The economy in the north is very backward now, and the ideas in the north can't keep up with the most advanced trends!"
Gu Wenxuan asked: "Do you want to develop in Shanghai?"
Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I think after this month, I will quit my job and go to Shanghai!
I also want to go to that place and see if there is gold everywhere.
If I don't try again, I will have even less motivation to try when I get older, and my life will be over!"
Gu Wenxuan has agreed with Sam's statement:
"Sam, you are right, everyone should try to make some achievements when they are young, otherwise they will regret it when they are old.
I also heard that Shanghai is a paradise for adventurers. As long as you have an adventurous spirit, you may become a millionaire, but of course you may also become a beggar!
But if you don't take risks, you will never become rich!"
Sam was very happy that Gu Wenxuan agreed with his adventurous plan. In his mind, Chinese people are conservative and few of them have an adventurous spirit.
"Gu Wenxuan, do you agree with my idea? That's great! I have a like-minded friend like you!
It's a pity that you have a public office and can't come with me to Shanghai to explore the world. Otherwise, I think we could become real friends, or good partners in business!"
Gu Wenxuan said to Sam:
"Mr. Sam, you are so stupid. Although I have work to do and cannot go to Shanghai with you, I can help you financially. We can form a joint-stock company together!"
Sam's eyes lit up when he heard this, for he knew that Mr. Gu was a wealthy man. Even though he was just a captain of a small detective team under the Japanese, he estimated that he had more funds than many big bosses. He bought a car worth six thousand dollars just by spending his own money, which was not something most people could do.
"Then how much money are you prepared to pay to establish a joint-stock company with me, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Wenxuan thought for a moment:
"We can set up a joint-stock company, there is no problem with that. As for how much money to pay, that depends on how big the company is.
But I have a prerequisite, which is that you must help me set up a stock investment company.
This company is opened by me personally and has nothing to do with our trading company!
You are at most my financial advisor! Your commission will be calculated separately! Sam, do you agree? If you agree, let's discuss opening an international trade and investment company!"
How could Sam not agree to such a good thing? Although Gu Wenxuan's stock investment company did not want to invest in it, he did not have the money to invest in it.
If you don't invest yourself, but work as a consultant for their stock investment company, you can get a huge salary for nothing. Where can you find such a good thing?
Sam wholeheartedly agreed with Mr. Gu's proposal.
"Mr. Gu, don't worry about your financial stock investment company. I have decided to run it well with you. As for the salary issue, that's not a big deal.
As long as our trading company is established, it doesn’t matter whether your financial company starts paying salaries or not! "
Sam is also an expert on China. He knows that the more you Chinese people don't want his salary, the more they will want to give you salary, and they will even double your salary. This is the so-called face issue.
Sure enough, Gu Wenxuan said:
"Sam, we are friends, and business is business. If you set up a financial stock investment company for me, I will definitely pay you.
Didn’t you say that you are currently working in a foreign company for 200 USD a month? I will now give you 10 times that salary, 2000 USD a month, and if you make a profit, there will be a bonus! "
Sam was about to laugh out loud. Mr. Gu was so generous. With a monthly salary of 2000 US dollars, he could live a very good and comfortable life.
Sam stood up and covered Gu Wenxuan's hand heavily:
"Mr. Gu, it's settled. In addition to opening a trading company, I will carefully set up a financial stock investment company with you! I dare say that with my help, your financial company will definitely make a lot of money, at least you won't feel that the $2000 salary you paid is not worth it!"
"Well, let's talk about our international trading company. Sam, how much do you think is a suitable investment?"
Sam thought for a moment:
"We are a little cautious at the beginning and will invest 20 US dollars. What do you think, Mr. Gu? If the business grows in the future, we can increase the investment!"
Gu Wenxuan knew that the land and commodity prices in Shanghai were relatively high. Although 20 US dollars sounded like a lot, it was only 50 oceans. 50 oceans was not enough in international trade.
Gu Wenxuan pondered for a while and said:
"If we want to do something, we have to do it on a larger scale. If we do it on a smaller scale, it will not be easy to stand out in a big city like Shanghai.
If your company is not well-known, no business will come to you, don’t you think?
I think I will invest 200 million yuan for now, which is close to 100 million US dollars. "
Sam was so excited when he heard this. He could now command the use of 100 million US dollars and he could hold his head high in front of his former colleagues.
Even if he doesn't get much benefit from this trading company, as long as he can command this 100 million US dollars, he will be among the upper class people, and his superiors who used to look down on him will have to speak to him in a humble manner.
You have to know that 100 million US dollars was not a small sum of money in China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. This is not to say that the US dollar is worthless decades later.
One US dollar at that time can be used as 1 US dollars in the future.
At this time, Miko Sakai in the dance floor was watching Gu Wenxuan having a heated conversation with the American Sam.
He said to Mr. Matsushita:
"This small Chinese landlord seems to know everyone. It turns out that his family is not very wealthy. How come he is now moving between various forces like a big boss?"
Mr. Matsushita sneered: "Your impression is still from 10 years ago. You should know that you can't predict what a person will do three days later!
Besides, it's been 10 years since we met, and you're still looking at him with the same old eyes as 10 years ago. Can you buy the emerald necklace he gave me for less than dollars?"
When Miko Sakai heard what Mr. Matsushita said, she became anxious:
"Mr. Matsushita's necklace was clearly given to me by a small Chinese landlord as a token of apology. How did it become a gift to you?
If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to ask you for it. Now that you've said it, please give me the necklace, Mr. Matsushita!"
Mr. Matsushita looked at Miko Sakai as if she were a fool.
"I'm giving you a necklace worth 10 yuan, Sakai Miko, are you stupid?
If Secretary Kang Cheng didn't know me today, you would have been beaten by him in vain. As for why he wanted to give me a necklace worth 10 oceans, one reason was that he wanted to make friends with me.
Some people are still doing this for the sake of Cannes' secretary. Don't you understand this?
Giving it to you is such a joke. Besides, someone gave me a necklace worth 10 yuan. Shouldn’t I give him a gift in return?
What are you going to give back to that Gu Wenxuanjun? Do you have that much money to give back?"
In name, Yoshiko Sakai was Mr. Matsushita's fiancée, but both of them knew that it was just a cover-up.
Matsushita's family is considered a prominent family in the local area. Why would they marry this socialite? He was just a lover he kept in China.
After hearing what Mr. Matsushita said, Miko Sakai also lowered her head.
It would be impolite if you accept this necklace worth 10 yuan and don't give it back to Gu Wenxuan as a gift.
Her original thought was that Mr. Matsushita would definitely help her return the gift, but now it seems that Mr. Matsushita would never return the gift to her.
Since Mr. Matsushita did not return her gift, if she accepted the necklace, she would not be able to survive in Peking unless she ran back to Japan immediately. People would laugh at her for not knowing etiquette!
"Jiu, you have to understand that the ancient text preaching necklace was given to me. Do you understand what he meant?"
Of course, Sakai Miko understood that people only cared about Mr. Matsushita's face and did not care about Sakai's face at all.
