1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

Listening to Chen Tiezhu's question, Chu Liang did not keep him in suspense and nodded readily, "He does have some connections, and you will suffer if you don't know about it."

"Okay, thank you for your advice, brother Chu Liang, I'll drink first." Zhou Fengxia picked up the wine and drank without saying anything.

"Such a good wine, you can't drink too much by yourself." Chu Liang smiled and took a sip.

"He has a relationship with the manager of a state-owned company, and the status of state-owned companies there is somewhat special. After all, many import procedures are easier to handle under the name of a state-owned company."

"Of course, I can do it myself. It's just that the procedures are more complicated and the operation time is longer. I think you should have some relationships, and it would be better if you can sort it out."

Chen Tiezhu nodded, "I will think of some ways in this regard, and let Xiao Zhou go there to explore the way. I can't say that his company is a cooperative operation with him."

"Because I don't want to take advantage of him. When I go to pick materials with him in the future, 20% of the profits of these materials will be given to me."

"It's okay, not too much or too little." Chu Liang nodded.

"In fact, there are no so-called standards or rules in this regard, but from Brother Tiezhu's perspective, it is worth it even if you give more."

"It's just that you two are good brothers, and the friendship between brothers is hard to measure. Your company will be very good."

"That's what I mean, because I may not have the time to go there every time, and Xiao Zhou will have to find someone else to do this in the future." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

"In the future, when the business grows, he can't buy materials in person every time. At most, he can participate in public auctions, which requires a good relationship with people in the local area."

"Only with good relationships can you enter those people's warehouses. With a few capable partners, you can work more seriously."

"Although I have not been involved in this kind of business, I think that many people here will have bad intentions. Brother Chu Liang, is that right?"

Chu Liang was happy, "You see it very clearly. In fact, someone will be punished every year, but the standards of punishment are different. It depends on what standards you use to manage."

"Tsk tsk, it's still so troublesome." Zhou Fengxia's face suddenly became bitter.

"Oh my God, it's troublesome?" Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes at him.

"The saying that money moves people's hearts is true everywhere. A good piece of material may be worth tens or even millions. The profit of this thing is so high, do you think people can't be tempted?"

"Brother Chen, what standards should we use?" Zhou Fengxia asked bitterly.

"Don't ask me. You have to make your own decision." Chen Tiezhu said.

"According to Brother Chu Liang, there are many tricks here. But I think it will not work without some heavy-handed tactics."

"Even if you use heavy-handed tactics, you can't guarantee that people won't have selfish intentions. So you still have to follow what Brother Chu Liang said before. It's best to maintain a very harmonious relationship with the store over there."

"I understand. I'll have to trouble Brother Chu Liang anyway." Zhou Fengxia said seriously.

He is not a fool. Chen Tiezhu has said so much, how can he not understand?

Relationship is very important.

If you maintain a good relationship with the store over there, if his subordinates have any crooked thoughts, you can also tip them off in advance.

This is the benefit of being able to get to know each other deeply and maintain a long-term cooperative relationship. If the relationship is not in place, people will hope that your subordinates have crooked thoughts.

But if the relationship is in place, with the old Dragon King's signboard, no one can do such a thing to damage their own signboard.

Of course, in the future, during festivals, the old Dragon King will have to pay a visit.

Don't think it's inappropriate. For many people, you can't find such a way even if you want to spend money.

It can be said that Chu Liang really gave a lot of face this time.

"Brother Chu Liang, how is Brother Chen's cooking?" Zhou Fengxia asked with a smile.

Chu Liang gave a thumbs up directly, "I have eaten some dishes in the restaurant, and the taste is similar to that of Brother Chen. But this stewed... stewed northern sauerkraut is very delicious."

"It's different from our sauerkraut. This is made with cabbage. I also ate dishes made with cabbage and sauerkraut in the restaurant, but they were not as delicious as Brother Chen's."

"Hahahaha, this is Brother Chen's own pickled sauerkraut. No matter who eats it, there is no one who doesn't say it's good." Zhou Fengxia said with a smile.

"If you like it, eat more. After all, we are from different regions, and our taste is different from yours.There is a big difference. Some dishes have chili peppers, while others don’t. ” Chen Tiezhu said.

“Your weather here is the worst, I didn’t expect it to be so cold.” Chu Liang sighed.

In terms of food and drink, he felt that many dishes were ones he had never tasted before, and the taste was really good.

But he really couldn’t stand the cold weather. Even if he wore a cotton coat, he still felt a little cold. And the cotton coat was also relatively thick, which was not so convenient when moving.

Now that the serious things have been discussed, it will be much easier to eat and drink.

“Brother Chen, I was worried enough last night. Have you thought about it?” Zhou Fengxia asked curiously.

“What can I think about? I don’t even know what the material looks like, where can I think about it?” Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

“It’s completely improvisation. Take the first stone for example, you can’t let me play it out. This thing is not to open another window and really cut the material. ”

“It’s OK to fool laymen, but for experts, the performance of the material is too obvious. We cut it hard and then say that the price has increased. That’s just a disgrace to ourselves.”

“For this thing, I feel that the key is to turn decay into magic. Let’s talk about the material at the back. In fact, Brother Chu Liang cut it very well.”

“It’s not for complete cutting. No one can cut directly in the middle, which is almost clear material. So it’s very good to choose that side.”

“As for the unique situation of floating black flowers later, it’s completely based on luck. Whether this cut is good or not, you can only see this cut at that time.”

“So, I didn’t have much confidence at that time. But my luck is definitely better than Huang Cangying, so I dared to take a gamble.”

“No, Tiezhu, were you really just guessing at that time? "Old Huang was a little uneasy.

"I have a feeling, but I don't know what's going on inside. It's almost like I'm just guessing. Even Brother Chu Liang often follows that feeling and guesses blindly." Chen Tiezhu shrugged.

Chu Liang laughed, "Yes, sometimes I guess blindly too. Who can really see what the material looks like under the skin?"

Hearing him say this, everyone laughed too.

When gambling on stones, luck is often very important.
