Chapter 107: Close Attention From The Neighboring Palace
When Zhou Wenhua arrived at the Thirteen Factories in Yangcheng, the agent Li Demin, whom he had dispatched abroad very early, had also already arrived in London for some time, and had purchased some properties here according to Zhou Wenhua’s instructions, particularly one Western-style house among them that was very close to the residence of a royal family member in England.
After London welcomed a new day, the agent Li Demin was also very satisfied, looking at how he had completed the task entrusted by Zhou Wenhua and successfully purchased the palace close to where George VI and Dookie lived alone in London, which was the palace at 145 Piccadilly Street.
And it was a house very close, number 148.
Although it wasn’t exactly next door, it was about the same.
So after completing this task of his, he immediately called Zhou Wenhua on the overseas telephone to report this matter.
When his telephone connected with Zhou Wenhua,
Zhou Wenhua had also already finished visiting the Thirteen Factories of this era. Although it was quite prosperous and bustling, compared to the clusters of new-style skyscraper buildings in later generations, it was completely incomparable,
because it would seem very backward,
Of course, for Zhou Wenhua, the purpose of his visit here was just to see the business operations here and inspect the situation of his business after it developed to this side.
After he had preliminarily completed the inspection,
As soon as he returned to the Western-style house mansion he had purchased on that side of Yangcheng,
He soon received the telephone contact from Li Demin at the daily contact time point stipulated by Zhou Wenhua.
“Boss! I have completed the purchase of the new mansion close to 145 Piccadilly Street according to your instructions!”
“It’s 148 Piccadilly Street!”
“What should I do next?”
After the telephone connected,
Li Demin’s first sentence was to inquire first.
“According to my instructions, operate the business projects I mentioned there. This is our first step into overseas markets. You just need to get the business license for the foreign trade company there. In the future days, the markets in England and Europe will be covered with market share by many of our products!”
“So work hard! Your financial future and future are both bright, of course, provided that it also depends on your execution and personal operational ability!”
After listening to Li Demin’s report,
Zhou Wenhua also responded in a good mood.
For him, the reason he prepared to purchase property and establish a foreign trade company in England, besides planning to attack overseas markets, was also to hope that he could have a place with development strength overseas.
Particularly, in case the things he was doing domestically were discovered by Chairman Chang, and once the other party wanted to capture or recruit him, and he didn’t agree, then all his business and construction domestically would be confiscated at any time.
So he had to establish in advance overseas some businesses and market share that could have research and development capabilities for himself.
As well as a place for him to flee to.
Of course, he wouldn’t mention any of these things to the agent Li Demin at all.
“Yes! Boss! Everything according to you!”
“I guarantee 100% implementation and execution, and as for what my abilities are like, I will definitely show them to you well. Just wait and see my management ability and operational ability!”
Upon hearing this, the agent Li Demin felt joyful inside, his eyes lit up, and he immediately responded confidently.
He was very confident in his management ability and talent for doing business.
So when he heard that as long as he did well these things he was good at, he could obtain rewards and future even more lucrative than investing in entrepreneurship himself, he immediately promised excitedly.
“Good! I’ll be waiting to see your performance. Hanging up now; I’ll tell you what to do next later!”
Seeing that the agent Li Demin under him had been ignited with ambition by him,
Zhou Wenhua also smiled and responded.
Then, the two of them chatted a few more brief sentences before hanging up the overseas communication mutually.
And Zhou Wenhua also shifted his attention to whether to provide some military supplies, grain, and other support to the Red Army troops who were about to cross the grasslands and snow mountains.
But just as Zhou Wenhua was thinking this,
The royal family member inside the palace at 145 Piccadilly Street had also already learned that the house two doors down on the same street, 148 Piccadilly Street, had been purchased by merchants from China, and moreover purchased with a lavish sum three times the market price.
This immediately made these royal family members pay close attention and discuss it.
