1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Brother Chen, are those answers okay?"

Finally the interview was over, Zhou Qiang came to Chen Tiezhu with sweat on his forehead. Asking these questions seemed to be much more nervous than the previous interview.

Chen Tiezhu smiled and patted his shoulder, "The interview was very good, this is the most real reaction, it should be so authentic."

"Oh my god, I was really scared just now." Zhou Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, during the few minutes of preparation, I wanted to think of words. When he took the machine to shine on me, my mouth was finished, and I couldn't say anything."

"Hahahaha, I just need to practice well in the future." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"And you will also worry about the mushroom sticks in the future. You are the person in charge here, and you will be given five cents for each mushroom stick."

"Brother Tiezhu, what are you going to give back? This is what I should do." Zhou Qiang said hurriedly.

"It's not that big of a deal. You are also one of our distributors, so this is a preferential price for you." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"In the future, all the customers you develop will be registered under your name. Not only will you get a rebate for these mushroom sticks, but you will also get a commission when you sell mushrooms in the future."

"It's just that the quantity of each one is not large. For example, we will get a rebate of 5 cents for each mushroom stick, and we will get a rebate of 1 cent or 2 cents for each pound of mushrooms purchased in the future."

"This is a temporary decision. When the price of mushrooms rises in the future, we will adjust it up. After all, the company has just started sales work, and we don't have a control over the profit margin yet."

"Brother Tiezhu, you have helped me so much, I can't accept this money. I can ask you to do anything, but I can't talk about money. It hurts too much." Zhou Qiang said with a stern face.

Isn't this looking down on me?

My wealth is given by Brother Tiezhu, so what's the point of doing such a small job?

"Stubborn." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Qiangzi, you have to remember this. Brotherhood is brotherhood, and business is business. If you don't understand this, your mushroom shed will only make money for three or two years."

"Take Dayou for example. When he was not very busy before, he often came to my house to drink and eat meat. What is that? That's our friendship. Of course, he bought me things more often at that time."

"But later, he still drank and ate meat at my house. This is what I arranged. I not only take care of his food and drink, but also help him lose weight. You can see that he has lost at least ten pounds now."

"Then you say that our friendship, isn't it a matter of helping him to work for me? Why should I pay him a salary? It's not that big of a deal. It's what needs to be done."

"For example, if your brother encounters an emergency, you can take three or five hundred to go through. But business matters must be made clear."

In fact, this is also the situation that Niu Er and his people are most worried about when doing business.

There are many righteous people who are butchers. They are used to the brotherhood in the underworld. But many times, when you talk to him about loyalty, he may not tell you about it.

There are really too many good brothers who turned against each other in the end.

It does not mean that all brothers will go their separate ways and stab each other because of money and interests. At least there are certain rules and constraints, which can also play a certain preventive role.

Zhou Qiang scratched his scalp. It was the first time he heard such serious words.

"Qiangzi, just listen to Tiezhu." Liu Dayou said with a smile.

"Privately, he recognizes me as his brother, so I am his older brother. But in business, he is my boss, my Manager Chen."

"Only by distinguishing between public and private affairs can this business last for a long time. Anyway, I just remember one thing, Tiezhu will not be bad. No matter what he says, it is right to resolutely implement it."

Zhou Qiang was happy, "Then I understand. If you told me so earlier, I would understand everything."

Chen Tiezhu rolled his eyes.

He had been talking about the filling for a long time, but this guy didn't listen to a word. He understood Liu Da's words.

"Let's do it this way for now. I think Director Huang and the others have to shoot some more scenes here. It's getting late, and I have to take Doudou home." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Brother Tiezhu, when can we have dinner at my house?" Zhou Qiang asked pitifully.

"Wait until you pick mushrooms here, and then I'll come over to eat. Is this a deal? You want to treat me to a meal, as if I owe you." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Well, it's a deal, it's only a few days anyway." Zhou Qiang said happily.

"Director Huang, I'm leaving first. When we shoot in our village, we'll have a good drink."A meal." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Okay, it will be over the day after tomorrow." Director Huang said.

After explaining everything, Chen Tiezhu took his daughter to the car.

"Dad, why didn't you eat anything after coming out?" Doudou asked with a bitter face.

"Then you have to think about it. It's raining at home, so you can only roll on the kang? It's interesting to go out for a walk, even if you stay in the car, right?" "Chen Tiezhu asked back.

Doudou frowned, it seems to be the case. But I always feel that this trip is a bit disadvantageous.

When I went out before, I could get some delicious food with me.

Looking at the little guy with a bitter face, Chen Tiezhu wanted to laugh.

It should be said that bullying Doudou is also his daily source of happiness.

The key is that this little guy does not bear grudges. You just got angry, coax her, prepare some delicious food, and she will pay attention to you. He dare not provoke Yingzi now, that is a volcano that is about to erupt.

What he thought was right, and now Doudou's attention is all on the wipers.

This thing looks very fun, brushing left and right, and it can move by itself.

"Dad, don't you think it's tired?" After staring at it for a while, Doudou asked curiously.

"They, as long as the car has electricity, they won't get tired. Besides, they are only used for work when it rains. When the rain stops, they can have a holiday. "Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, when will we go to kindergarten?" Doudou asked.

"Let's see if it rains tomorrow. If it doesn't, Dad will send Doudou to kindergarten to play." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Or, tomorrow Dad will take Doudou to the mountains for a walk. Anyway, Dad listens to Doudou. If Doudou says to do it, we will do it."

"Yeah, Dad is so nice." Doudou said happily, and his legs swayed dishonestly.

"What does Doudou want to eat in the evening? Dad will make whatever you want to eat." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Dad, Doudou wants to eat meat, so we have to prepare some meat." The little guy said hurriedly.

"Of course, after Doudou said that, Dad is also greedy. "Chen Tiezhu said happily.

Doudou's little face became more beautiful. It's not just her who is greedy, but her father is greedy too.

The father and daughter chatted about everything along the way, and they were not lonely at all.

"Dad, that's Uncle Li's motorcycle."

Doudou shouted happily as soon as she got home.
