Reborn in 1999: Starting as a black marketeer

After a round of drinks, both host and guests were delighted.

Back at the guesthouse, Song Yi finally had a chance to ask Wang Feiyang what had happened.

Wang Feiyang had not told Song Yi and Su Ying about his dealings as a speculator and his investment in Tencent. Neither of them knew what he was up to in Moscow; they both thought he was just diligently studying.

He only said he had some family matters to attend to when he came back this time, and the two women didn't have time to ask him any further questions.

Since he now needed Song Yi to keep an eye on his domestic business, Wang Feiyang had to tell her some things.

So Wang Feiyang pulled Song Yi down to sit and began to tell her his "story" of doing business and being a middleman.

As for his first pot of gold, Wang Feiyang couldn't give a truthful account. He only vaguely said that when he bought a mobile phone, he casually bought a few lottery tickets and won a big prize, receiving hundreds of thousands of yuan in winnings.

With money in hand, I started thinking about how to do some business, which led to my first collaboration with Mr. Gu, where we ordered a batch of goods to be shipped to Moscow.

Upon arriving there, they discovered that the goods were too expensive and difficult to sell in the large market. Forced to start their own company and explore new sales channels, the sales unexpectedly boomed…

The company also needs to expand its product categories, so I made a special trip back to China to discuss these matters. Mr. Gu and Mr. Xu are my partners, and I just placed an order with them worth more than seven million RMB this afternoon.

After I return to Moscow, I'll need Song Yi to keep an eye on things like order production progress, inspection, and delivery. That's why I brought her over today to meet President Gu and President Xu.

Song Yi was speechless with amazement after hearing the story.

She never imagined that Wang Feiyang would build such a huge business in just two or three months.

In her eyes, being able to order more than seven million worth of goods at once was an absolutely unattainable business!

After a long pause, Song Yi exclaimed in amazement, "You've built your business to this scale in just two months? My goodness, it feels like a fairy tale! Feiyang, you're amazing!"

"If I'm not good enough, how will I support the two of you in the future?" Wang Feiyang joked.

Song Yi knew exactly who he meant by "two," and gave a light snort to express her dissatisfaction. However, her attention was completely drawn to Wang Feiyang's business at the moment, and she couldn't care less about anything else.

"You really paid them over seven million?! What if they take the money and then run away without delivering the goods?" She was still in shock.

At the beginning of 2000, housing prices in Hanju were only around 5000. It should be noted that housing prices in the capital were about the same at that time.

Back when housing prices in first-tier cities and second-, third-, and fourth-tier cities hadn't yet diverged, it would have cost Wang Feiyang over 200,000 yuan to buy a small plot of land and build a two-story house in his hometown.

So, with over seven million, you can buy more than a dozen houses in Hanju, and you can also buy more than a dozen houses in the capital!

Wang Feiyang was both amused and exasperated, and explained helplessly, "President Gu and President Xu both own factories, such large facilities with so many employees, how could they possibly run away for a few million in payment? Besides, today is just an order placement; I've only paid a deposit. The bulk of the payment will be made after the order is produced and we inspect the goods. That's all you need to do. I'll explain the details later; it's not complicated at all..."

As he spoke, he took out his domestic bank card from his wallet and handed it to Song Yi. "Here, there's 480 million in here. I already paid a 20 deposit to President Xu this afternoon. This is all for the goods. I'll let you know when the payment is due; you can just transfer the money directly to the bank. By the way, I'll find an agency to help me register a company in the next couple of days. As the order amounts get higher and higher, to avoid risks, we can't place orders in our personal names anymore; it's best to use a company name..."

Actually, Wang Feiyang could make payments for the goods through online banking from Moscow.

But as he said, as the business grows bigger, the order amount will become higher and higher. Even though he trusts Mr. Gu and Mr. Xu's character, it's best not to test people's nature.

What if they pull a "big" stunt on me during that collaboration?

The person is abroad and the goods have been shipped abroad. If they want to return to China to file a lawsuit, just collecting evidence will be very troublesome, and the matter will be impossible to resolve!

The safest approach is to directly establish a trading company and mitigate risks through formal cooperation between companies.

Wang Feiyang's plan was to have the company in Moscow place an order with his domestic trading company, which would then sign the contract with General Manager Gu and General Manager Xu.

As long as the domestic situation is well controlled, there will be no significant risks.

As for the taxes and fees that the new company needs to pay, that's easy to handle. Since both companies are their own, it's very easy to keep the domestic company at a slight loss while keeping all the profits with the Moscow company.

There are too many companies doing this, and it's very simple to do, so I won't go into details.

The legal representative of the new company is Song Yi, meaning the company will be opened in her name. Hearing Wang Feiyang say this, Song Yi felt very guilty.

He said hesitantly, "I don't know how to manage a company at all, I'm afraid I won't do a good job..."

"It's alright. There's actually very little to do in the short term, just the few things I just told you about. Once the business grows larger, we can hire professionals. You just need to manage the money; I don't trust outsiders," Wang Feiyang said with a smile.

Song Yi felt a warmth in her heart, bit her lip lightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you, and I'll also try my best to learn the relevant knowledge."

With the first company in Moscow, this second company, and the brand chain company that will be established soon, Wang Feiyang will control three companies.

But that's far from enough. Modern corporate operations have long been systematic and large-scale. It's normal for large group companies to have dozens or even hundreds of subsidiaries, each with its own purpose.

Wang Feiyang will continue to establish new companies and expand his business empire; this is just the beginning.

…………

For the next two days, apart from staying in my room at night to do some things I like, I was actually quite busy during the day.

Wang Feiyang registered a trading company through an intermediary and rented an office in an office building near the school. The office was not large, only about fifty or sixty square meters, but the rent was very cheap and all kinds of facilities were complete. He used it as the office space for the new company.

Song Yi, the young company boss and general manager, has officially started her job!

After finishing his business in Hanzhou, Wang Feiyang planned to fly directly to Shanghai to see Su Ying, and then fly from Shanghai to the capital to return to Moscow...
