At that time, there was not much import and export business. It was nothing more than processing on behalf of others. To put it bluntly, foreign countries were transferring labor-intensive industries to China.

After they get the orders, they look for factories to make them.

These are a minority. Companies like those invested by Xie Changqing basically have their own factories, with every link covered, from machines to assembly lines to manual labor.

Only in this way can the company make breakthroughs and innovations based on learning existing foreign technologies, achieve industrial upgrading, and contribute to the complete domestic industrial chain.

To put it nicely, that group of people are brokers, and to put it bluntly, they are pushers. They take orders from foreigners and then find small factories or workshops to produce them. They only think about making money for themselves and have no sense of national mission at all.

But during this period, these people still need to exist. After all, it is difficult for people with skills at this time to build relationships and find business at the same time. Once they become mature in the later stage, these brokers will lose the necessity of their existence.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Now they are still very useful. At least, they have a large number of foreign orders in their hands. If they can get one or two of them, they can make a lot of money.

Of course, the main thing is not how much money you can earn. After all, the money you earn now is unlikely to beat future inflation and housing prices. The main thing is to be able to get in touch with advanced foreign technology in the process of completing foreign orders.

Xie Changlin's stall business has been established for a long time and he has made a lot of money. The last time I saw him, he was still planning how to expand the electronic products business.

Now Wen Wan feels that it is better to take one step and look five steps ahead rather than taking one step and looking three steps ahead.

The production technology of electronic products is in the hands of foreigners. They can sell it to you at any price they want, and you have no control over the profit.

More importantly, sales alone cannot promote industrial development.

It would be better to let Xie Changlin directly undertake the production and processing of electronic products, and then make innovative breakthroughs from foreign technologies to produce better quality and cheaper products.

In fact, she could ask Xie Changqing for help in this matter, but based on her understanding of Xie Changlin, he definitely wouldn't want this to happen.

Xie Changlin has lived under the powerful shadow of Xie Changqing since he was a child. He works so hard to make money and build his career mainly to prove that he is no worse than Xie Changqing.

If in the end, his success depended on Xie Changqing, he would definitely not be able to accept it.

But if she could find a way to bring Xie Changlin to the party that Wen Ya was going to, with Xie Changlin's current abilities and her assistance, even if she couldn't get the order, she would be able to make some potential partners.

"Oh!" Wen Wan nodded slightly to show that she understood, "It's impossible to rent it.

What you said just now implied that sisters should settle accounts clearly. I am selling this thing, not renting it, so I won’t rent it.

Personally speaking, there is no sisterly love between us, and there is no need for me to rent it to you. I am narrow-minded, unlike you who are broad-minded and can give me money without paying it back."

After sending Wen Ya away, Wen Wan began to wonder what kind of party she was attending.

Wen Ya has just arrived in Haicheng and is still just running a stall business. The dinner party that she specially bought luxury goods to attend must be for an import and export business, which is probably not something Wen Ya can access now.

In her previous life, Wen Wan had squeezed into the circle of wealthy people, and she knew best how exclusive this circle was. However, it would not be accurate to say that it was exclusive.

Socializing in the circle of rich people is all for business, to put it bluntly, it is an exchange of interests. You have a good project and I happen to have funds, or you have an order and I have the technology, or maybe you have the technology and I have the market...

In short, it is an equal exchange.

They are talking about business worth tens of millions, but as a stall wholesaler you can only make a few thousand at most, so there is no possibility of cooperation at all.

So it's impossible to take her out to play.

After thinking about it, Wen Wan guessed a more reliable answer.

Not only did Karl mistake Wen Ya for her, but people at the hotel also mistook Wen Ya for her. After all, who could have thought that there were two people with the last name Wen by such a coincidence.

When Wen Ya arrived at the hotel, she just had to tell the hotel staff that her last name was Wen and they would understand.

Those who come in and out of the foreign-owned hotel are all well-known figures in the business world. Wen Ya was treated as a VIP by the hotel, and the pimps who pimped her were all shrewd people, and one could tell with a little guess that she was not simple.

It’s just that Wen Ya, the fox, was effective in her first attempt to bully others with her power, but after the second time, the cunning people figured it out.

After all, for these poor and particular people, Wen Ya's outfit, which contained nothing of value, was too shabby.

If she was really someone related to Albert, he would definitely not let her go out like this. Wouldn't that be embarrassing for him?

This also explains why Wen Ya bought that bag. She just wanted to prove to them that she is capable.

In order to verify her guess, Wen Wan went to a foreign-owned hotel to conduct an experiment. Sure enough, when she mentioned Albert's name and said her last name was Wen, the hotel waiter was stunned and even hurriedly called the manager.

After Wen Wan's indirect questioning, the manager indeed said that Wen Ya often came here to eat, and she was the one who treated the guests and always paid for Albert's meal.

Wen Wan had also been here twice, but the hotel had a two-shift system, so the people who received Wen Ya and her were not the same group. There were no surveillance cameras or smartphones at that time, so it was normal that their appearances were different and nothing was exposed.

Not only did he get this information indirectly, but he also found out what time and in which hall they would meet tomorrow.

Afraid that the manager would become suspicious, Wen Wan said that she was Miss Wen's sister.

After leaving the hotel, Wen Wan went to the market to find Xie Changlin and told him about her plan. Xie Changlin was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Second sister-in-law, you are simply a living Bodhisattva. I talked to those people who make electronic products a few days ago. The price they gave me was ridiculously high. They made all the money. I only earned a little hard-earned money and had to bear the risk of inventory and overstocking.

I was just thinking about whether I could set up an electronics assembly line here, and here you are.”

Xie Changlin’s proposal makes sense. There is no complete industrial chain in China now, and many electronic parts lack the technology to be produced. Moreover, foreigners are unlikely to give you core technology.

Now the only thing that both parties can accept is to bring components from abroad and then assemble them domestically. The profit is not much, but it is more than being a wholesaler. The most important thing is that in the long run, their technological barriers can be broken through.

Wen Wan patted his shoulder with great satisfaction and said, "You are now a mature businessman who can think independently.

Just one thing, don't call me second sister-in-law anymore."

An awkward smile flashed across Xie Changlin's face. "Actually, my second brother came to me and said he would marry you again. I thought..."

The latter words made Wen Wan glare back, "Since you are on your second brother's side, then let your second brother help you!"

"Sister, I was wrong." Xie Changlin quickly stopped her and apologized with his hands clasped together, "I don't want to ask my second brother for help, I just want to rely on my own efforts."

"Then you better think about it carefully," Wen Wan said, "I am just helping you, so you are not relying on your own efforts."

"That's different. Your help is just to give me pointers, but I still have to do the process myself. It's very different."
