Chapter 1166 The Reasons for the Change
For the next two days, Wei Shang and Wei Qing did not discuss the shipment with Ding Qing. Instead, Wei Shang took Ding Qing around Shanghai.
"Brother Wei Shang, you've been taking me around these past two days. Has something changed about what we talked about before?" Ding Qing finally couldn't help but ask after holding back for two days.
"Nothing has happened, we're just waiting for someone!" Wei Shang said with a hint of helplessness.
"Waiting for someone? Waiting for whom?" Ding Qing asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Wait for my eldest sister and all my sisters-in-law!" Wei Shang said with a helpless expression.
"Your elder sister and sisters-in-law? What do you mean?" Ding Qing was a little confused. Why did their cooperation have to wait for Young Master Zhao's elder sister and sisters-in-law?
"Ding Qing, we oversimplified things before!" Wei Shang said helplessly, repeating what Boss Bao had said to Ding Qing a few days ago.
After listening, Ding Qing realized that he had indeed underestimated international trade! This was different from his previous smuggling business. When he was smuggling, he only had to handle the shipping, and the other party did everything else.
"Will we have a solution once Miss Zhao arrives?" Ding Qing asked curiously.
"It should be fine. After all, our family has its own trading company. Although we only sold clothing before, I think selling the electronic products you brought shouldn't be a problem. As for big items like cars, we'll think of another way. This time, it's not just my eldest sister and her family who are coming, but also several families that have cooperated with our Zhao family. I think there shouldn't be any problems!" Wei Shang felt that he was definitely going to get scolded this time.
Without understanding the situation, I've caused so much trouble for the family, especially since I have to gather so many business partners. This doesn't align with my father's policy of keeping a low profile.
However, Wei Shang had no choice. If he didn't help Situ Haonan open up the situation in South Korea as soon as possible, then the next steps could not be carried out, and his father's plan could not be completed.
"This is actually a good thing. After all, it's about making money for everyone. There shouldn't be any trouble, right?" Ding Qing said.
“Ding Qing, you don’t understand. For a family like ours, having too much money isn’t necessarily a good thing, especially since our country has policies that prohibit officials from engaging in business, and even their children are subject to restrictions. Besides, to be honest, our family already has enough money. Any more would probably just be asking for trouble,” Wei Shang said with a bitter expression.
Ding Qing looked at Wei Shang, who had a bitter smile on his face, and really couldn't understand. Wasn't making money a good thing? And why was it stipulated that officials and even their children were not allowed to engage in business? He couldn't understand it at all; this would never happen in their country.
However, considering the current situation in mainland China, Ding Qing expressed his support despite not understanding it.
After another two days of waiting, people finally responded to the call and arrived, with Gao Qiqiang being the first to arrive.
Although he had been managing the complex in Jingzhou, this was a new avenue for him. After all, Gao Qiqiang couldn't possibly miss the chance to make money with the Zhao family.
After arriving in Shanghai, Gao Qiqiang first went to see Wei Shang. He then did not go to see Ding Qing, but instead went to see Wei Qing and Dai Qian.
Gao Qiqiang clearly understood that making money was secondary; clinging to the Zhao family's coattails was his most important task.
"Mr. Ye, Ms. Dai, these are some local specialties I brought from Jingzhou. They're nothing valuable, I hope you won't find them too expensive!" Gao Qiqiang's honest smile easily won people's favor.
Although Wei Qing had met Gao Qiqiang before and knew that he was Wei Nong's younger brother, he didn't stand on ceremony and simply nodded to acknowledge him.
"Xiao Gao, you know what's going on here from Jingzhou, right?" Wei Qing asked with a smile.
“Young Master Wei told me that you’re actually giving me a job. Who doesn’t know that international trade is profitable these days? Especially in electronics and automobiles, which are very scarce in our mainland market. It’s a sure-fire way to make money. I’m very happy that you called me here!” Gao Qiqiang said.
"Sigh, this was all too rushed. But thankfully, after we came to a conclusion, this matter can be done for a long time and will still bring you a considerable income! You don't need to worry about that at all. Just do what you can and don't feel any pressure!" Wei Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Ye, I understand!" Gao Qiqiang smiled憨厚ly. That evening, Gao Qiqiang, led by Wei Shang, finally met Ding Qing.
Meanwhile, Ding Qing was having dinner with the Yanbian F4 in the hotel restaurant. When he saw Wei Shang arrive with his men, Ding Qing immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Wei Shang.
Previously, Ding Qing only knew that the Zhao family was very powerful, but he had no idea exactly how powerful they were. After all, in South Korea, the so-called officials were just so-so.
However, after learning about the location of the Zhao family patriarch from the Yanbian F4 and seeing Zhao Cheng holding meetings and inspecting work on local television, Ding Qing's perception of Wei Shang completely changed.
They no longer dared to call him Brother Wei Shang. When they met, they would bow their heads in respect and change their address from Wei Shang to Young Master Zhao. Moreover, their obedience came from the bottom of their hearts.
The Yanbian F4 didn't dare to breathe too loudly, because living on the mainland, they knew all too well just how much power that old man, who frequently appeared on television news programs like CCTV's News Broadcast, wielded.
Although they told Ding Qing that they dared to kill and could help him deal with all his competitors, that was only because the opponents were all South Koreans. If they were to actually face the Zhao family's iron fist, they wouldn't have the guts.
"Ding Qing, this is one of our partners this time, General Manager Gao Qiqiang, who is also my brother Zhao Weinong's younger brother. Get to know each other, from now on we're on the same side, help each other and make money together!" Wei Shang didn't pay attention to Ding Qing's change.
Anyone who isn't a fool knows the Zhao family's importance. Previously, it was because Ding Qing was a foreigner. Although he was an overseas Chinese, he was only three or four years old when he left the mainland and grew up in a country like South Korea, so it was understandable!
"Haha, Brother Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me in the future!" Ding Qing greeted Gao Qiqiang very politely.
"Chairman Ding, you're too kind. We'll help each other out in fights and make money together. We're all just trying to make a living off the Zhao family. It's mainly Director Zhao who gave us this opportunity!" Gao Qiqiang said.
"Alright, you two stop flattering each other. There will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future. Let's get acquainted today. My older sister and the others will be here tomorrow, and then we can discuss the next steps!" Wei Shang rolled his eyes and stopped Ding Qing and Gao Qiqiang from their awkward conversation.
