rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 363: Lucas joins the gang

When it comes to beer production, there is no rush.

Chen Li indeed intends to train Xiao Zhang~ But although today's ideal fried chicken is not big yet, it is still not something that Xiao Zhang can grasp today.

It’s not that Ideal Fried Chicken, which now only has about twenty stores, needs rich management experience, but mainly that the rapid expansion of Ideal Fried Chicken in the future requires someone with rich management experience to control it.

Now Xiao Zhang~ is still a little behind in this aspect.

Therefore, Chen Li's plan is to let Deng Weimin take care of Xiao Zhang first and give Xiao Zhang more training opportunities.

As for getting involved in the beer industry ~ it takes time.

Whether it is funds or channels, this will take a certain amount of time.

First of all, if Chen Li was based on Shennong Beer, this would actually not work in 1999.

After all, most people in China these days don’t even earn 20 yuan a day. It seems a bit nonsense to ask them to drink Shennong beer that costs as much as 20 yuan a bottle.

Therefore, the share of the domestic mid- to high-end beer market these days is very small.

Coupled with the addition of foreign brands, the share left for domestic brands is even less.

This is probably one of the reasons why the development of mid-to-high-end beer by domestic breweries in the previous life was not ideal. After all, China's development speed is really fast, so fast that many things have reached the next stage without even having time to accumulate.

Therefore, if you want to make Shennong beer, the best customers are actually overseas markets.

But if it is to do overseas markets, it will involve many problems.

The simplest and most direct point is channels and connections!

Under the premise that domestic export trade is not very developed these days, if these two problems are not solved, it will be a joke to involve overseas markets.

This is why Chen Li never thought about this matter before!

But it was such a coincidence that the Lucas family happened to come to China, and Chen Li became friends with Lucas.

Although Chen Li is somewhat disgusted with this "friend", as long as he knows him, it actually means infinite possibilities.

In fact, at first, Chen Li refused to go on this trip.

In particular, these people come to China to make money. Although they seem to be cooperating with the country, they actually help the domestic manufacturing industry to a certain extent.

But in the final analysis, people are here to make money. They come to China to make money. As a Chinese from later generations, I have some emotions in my heart.

Of course ~ these are just some of Chen Li's emotions, but the reality is that Chen Li obediently helped his professor carry his bag.

After all, it was for his own good~How could Chen Li refuse?

Okay~ In fact, when he knew that Professor Lu called him here to introduce Lucas, a rich second generation, to him, Chen Li started to think about it.

The term rich second generation actually gives people more of a negative impression.

For example, bullying others with power, flamboyant personality, arrogance and domineering, extravagance and waste, etc.!

But in fact, the kind of rich second generation that people hate are just part of the rich second generation, the so-called prodigal rich second generation!

These guys don't do anything serious day by day, they only know how to use their power and wealth to bully others. They only show off their wealth all day long instead of making money. They even have all kinds of bad habits and habits.

It is precisely because of the existence of these guys that people have a more negative view of the term "rich second generation".

However, this group of guys cannot truly represent the rich second generation group. Even if these guys make up the majority of the rich second generation group, they cannot cover up the truly outstanding second generation people.

You know, the so-called rich second generation, first you have to be rich!

Wealth means that the family has economic conditions that are beyond ordinary people, which means that the education, training, and even food, clothing, housing, and transportation received by these second-generation people are beyond the scope of ordinary people.

While ordinary people are still unable to afford good schools for their children, the second generation of wealthy people have already started one-on-one tutoring with famous teachers!

While ordinary people are still worrying about where to work after graduation, the rich second generation have already started their own entrepreneurial journey.

While ordinary people are still worrying about mortgage and car loans, the rich second generation are driving sports cars back to their comfortable villas.

Many people think that the second generation of rich people are losers.

But the reality is that the second generation of rich people are more likely to succeed than ordinary people imagine!

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to start a business and open up the business and market.

But if the rich second generation wants to start a business, they may only need a phone call, and someone will already prepare sales channels and other things for them.

Many things and troubles that ordinary people think are difficult to deal with, for the rich second generation, they may not even need to ask, someone will help them deal with them.

Yes~ This really cannot be regarded as their ability, because they are more influenced by their parents.

But the reality is so helpless!

The success rate of the rich second generation in accomplishing one thing is much easier than that of ordinary people.

So, if the birth of Shennong Beer requires a partner.

Then Chen Li would be more willing to choose someone with energy.

This person can be a rich big boss. After all, he has money and resources, and Chen Li does not need to worry about many things.

But big bosses are not easy to control and may demand more.

So ~ this person can also be a rich second generation!

He can also enjoy the resources and connections of his parents, and the requirements will be relatively few, and the most important thing is that he will not easily go outside the scope of the original rules of things.

Therefore, if possible, Chen ideally chooses a rich second generation like Lucas as his partner.

Anyway, Shennong Beer will definitely focus on overseas markets in the future, and Lucas, a rich second-generation foreigner, is very suitable.

First of all~ this guy really likes beer!

Of course, this is actually nonsense. There are very few men in their country who don’t like beer.

Even many fairies from their countries also like beer. For example, Ms. Laura likes to drink beer.

Secondly~ Lucas’ family is very rich.

Lucas' family is engaged in manufacturing, producing a variety of mechanical parts.

This time, Lucas' father came to China with the intention of entering the Chinese market.

They chose a domestic manufacturing company to cooperate, and both parties had their own plans.

The domestic company was naturally interested in their technology, while Lucas's father wanted to open up the Chinese market.

In short, it can be said that both sides get what they need.

Moreover, Lucas's family's manufacturing company is quite large, and its customers include well-known brands such as Volkswagen.

Therefore, Lucas's family still has some strength in their country.

This means that Lucas' family has very rich connections and resources in the local area.

The opportunity that prompted Lucas' family company to invest in China was because of something extremely important to China.

Join the WTO~that is, the World Trade Organization!

There is no need to say much about the benefits of joining the WTO. Basically, just understand that after joining this WTO organization, it will have huge benefits for China’s economic development!

Of course, it is still 1999. Although ordinary people know that there are many benefits for China to join the WTO, if you really want to know how much they know in detail, ordinary people may not be able to tell you!

But for some people, China's entry into the WTO will have a huge impact.

Especially for some businessmen, this is an opportunity!

Of course, in fact, in 1999, China had not yet joined the WTO.

In the previous life, China only joined the WTO in 2001, but now it is still 1999.

However, in the eyes of some smart people, they know very well that China's accession to the WTO is a definite matter.

China's entry into the WTO will not only bring benefits to China, but will also be an opportunity for many other countries.

After all, China’s market is really huge.

Although this matter will take a certain amount of time, it is estimated that it will be completed within the next few years.

However, in the eyes of those smart people, all it takes is to be sure that China will definitely join the WTO.

So ~ many people have already started to make some arrangements.

Such is the case with the Lucas family business!

They are very optimistic about China's entry into the WTO ~ and at the same time they are also optimistic about the Chinese market.

Therefore, even though China's accession to the WTO has just encountered great obstacles, they are still preparing to enter the Chinese market.

If it succeeds, it will prove the outstanding vision of Lucas's father Philip.

Even if it fails, it will not affect the cooperation between his family business and China at all.

In fact, it is a question of making more and less, but it is all profit anyway, so Philip came to China!

So from this point of view, Lucas' father is indeed a very powerful businessman.

But compared to Philip's interests, Lucas seems to be a little worse.

Because according to the chat between Ms. Laura and Professor Lu, Lucas seems to have no intention of taking over the family business.

After graduating from university, Lucas entered the factory of his own company under the arrangement of his father and became an "ordinary" worker.

Of course ~ this is actually just a formality, euphemistically called ~ "familiar with the family business"!

In fact, Lucas also knows why he became a worker.

But he doesn't like this job, and even somewhat hates it.

What Lucas hates is not the job of an ordinary worker, but that he does not want to continue his father's life and take over the family's manufacturing industry.

As a young man, Lucas is now keen on the Internet!

But as a manufacturing tycoon, Philip is not so receptive to the Internet!

Yes ~ Even at this time, the Internet technology in many Western countries has developed very well.

But in fact, there are still many people who don’t think so about the future of the Internet!

This is mainly due to the "craziness" of the Internet industry in recent years, which has caused many smart people to be afraid of the Internet.

But Lucas didn't think so. He felt that the Internet was the best career now, so this guy asked his father for a sum of money and planned to start an Internet company with a few friends.

Don't tell me, foreigners are actually no different from domestic people in this regard, except that they may be more open-minded.

Finally, Lucas' father gave him 1 million marks, and Lucas took the money and couldn't wait to start his own business with a few friends.

But the company only existed for less than a year and a half.

Not long ago, this Internet company went bankrupt.

It was precisely for this reason that Lucas was very depressed, so he decided to take this trip to China.

This is the information Chen Li heard when Ms. Laura and Professor Lu were chatting.

This also made Chen Li feel that this young man Lucas was simply the most suitable candidate for his next plan.

You need money, you need money, you need connections, you have connections, and there is no shortage of resources!

The only trouble is that this guy seems to be keen on Internet high technology and has little interest in traditional manufacturing and other industries!

But, fortunately, this guy likes to drink beer, so this is an entry point.

Besides, what about the Internet! Chen Li happens to know a hundred (million) things!

Yes~ Chen Li really only understands a little bit, but what System Xiaomeng understands is the "billion"!

Therefore, Chen Li has the confidence to bring Lucas into his future plans.

Anyway, what Chen Li said during the chat with Ms. Laura was that Lucas didn’t seem to be interested in taking over the family business.

Even now Lucas' father is already preparing to train Lucas' younger brother!

Yes ~ Lucas also has a younger brother, but that child is only 13 years old this year!

Of course~ there are advantages to being small, it is more moldable!

It feels a bit like losing your tuba and preparing to practice the rhythm of the trumpet.

Therefore, Chen Li gave Lucas an opportunity, an opportunity for this guy to break away from the family business and become self-reliant.

So, in the next few days, Chen Li began to perform his duties as a tour guide.

It's just that while he was working as a tour guide, he began to deliberately accumulate "friendship" with Lucas!

It’s not Chen Li’s utilitarianism~ uh~ okay!

In fact, Chen Li is very utilitarian. The reason why he agreed to be the tour guide was for this reason.

So ~ a few days later, Chen Li and Lucas had become real friends.

However, the "happy" time is always short-lived.

After getting along for a few days, Lucas is about to say goodbye to Chen Li. He and his mother will continue to travel to other cities in China.

"Lucas~!"

"This is my gift to you~ I hope you have fun next time!"

"By the way~ If you encounter any trouble in Sichuan Province, you can call me!"

"You have to remember ~ we are friends!"

Airport~Chen Li handed Lucas a panda toy he bought casually from the gift shop.

Yes~ Lucas' next stop is Sichuan Province. He and his mother want to see pandas.

"Chen~my friend~thank you very much!"

"I've been very happy these past few days~!"

"But~ my friend, you seem to be saying goodbye!"

"NO~NO~!"

"Chen~ I will return to Yanjing in a few days, and I will come to see you then!"

"When the time comes, prepare some more beer~ We're going to get drunk and then rest!"

Lucas and Chen Li had a very happy time together for a few days, so he was a little "dissatisfied" with Chen Li's "farewell" tone!

"Uh~ okay~ my bad~ I apologize!"

"Then we'll see you later!"

"Don't worry~ enough beer!"

Chen Li smiled~ It looked bright, but the smile in his heart was a little cunning!
