Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1046
Du Gang started his business by relying on this group of people. It is estimated that he usually has interests involved. After doing it for a long time, he can get into this circle and get Li Min's approval. Naturally, other people will not have too many opinions. .

As for Tang Hui and Mr. He, they were in awe of Li Min, but somewhat disdainful of Du Gang, but they were polite on the surface.

One topic led me to the wine table again. They were the ones chatting at first, but I just occasionally said a few innocuous words. Now they will unconsciously ask me about every topic they talk about. view.

Li Min talked about one of the biggest problems they have encountered recently: "TMD, Chongqing is different from other places. If this was in Yunnan, I would have done it a long time ago. Now everything is stuck with us! Old Wu is also a I don’t know how to go to Wuhan for a meeting next month if this matter drags on!”

Mr. He also said: "Yeah, I don't know what they think. It's reasonable and legal for us to do this. I don't care about human feelings. In my opinion, this matter is that the relationship is not in place. If it is in place, we can help or not. Yes, of course it will help!"

Li Min heaved a sigh and said: "Up until now, the relationship has only been in the district, and there is no relationship in the city. When I come here, my eyes are darkened, I can't do anything, and I don't know. He has been in Chongqing for so many years. How does it work!"

Tang Hui also said with resentment: "How do you manage, it's just that the management is not good. Among the 13 provinces in the country, the rankings are the lowest every year. Otherwise, how can you say that Brother Min is here permanently? Otherwise, you must still be in Kunming to remotely command , how great it is, the brothers can still be together all year round! Now it’s great, it will be difficult for us to come here!"

Li Min thought for a while and said: "This is not difficult. I plan to move our central office to Chongqing. Isn't there a Chongqing office here? I heard that it is a whole building, and the office conditions are also very good. You and Mr. He, Xiao Tang, just come here to work directly in the future! Anyway, you are also from the headquarters! At that time, just manage the people below, and you don’t have to worry about the Yunnan side! Besides, don’t stay in one place all the time. It’s not bad to change the environment! Think about it, if you go on like this, accidents are easy to happen!”

Tang Hui and Mr. He exchanged a glance, then, Tang Hui looked at me, then at Du Gang, wanted to speak, but didn't.

I hurriedly stood up and said, "Is there still a soup missing? I'll make some soup to sober up later!"

Li Min pressed my shoulder and said: "Sit down! Since I called you to the table to eat and drink, I will treat you as one of my own! On this point, I have to talk about you, Xiao Tang. When it is time to pay attention, you don't Attention, now you are being cautious here! Let me ask you, cement packaging bags, how did you change all the suppliers into one? You changed all the 14 cement factories in Yunnan at one go. If you do this, you will Don’t you know how to hide it? Blind people know that there is a problem here, that little boss has already called me and said he wants to show me! What do I need from him?”

Tang Hui lowered his head and argued, "I really don't know about this!"

Li Min snorted coldly and said, "You don't know, then why does he have my phone number? He made it himself?"

Tang Hui explained: "I'm just saying, Brother Min personally approved this matter, I just want him to thank you!"

Li Min spat and said, "Thank you, shit! Do I want him to thank me? Even if he is grateful, can he say it publicly? How dare you use someone who is so careless? I Tell you, quickly replace it for me!"

Tang Hui said in embarrassment: "Brother Min, this matter has been settled and the contract has been signed. Now you ask me to change the manufacturer, isn't that good?"

Li Min snorted and said, "How much did you charge?"

Tang Hui murmured: "Not many! They are all regular manufacturers, and you know that my price is low enough, which fully complies with the company's regulations!"

Mr. He also helped and said: "Brother Min, I also know about this. He is a local boss. He has never seen anything in the world. I just want to thank you for this!"

Li Min snorted and said, "You are also involved in this matter, right? How many times have I told you that this kind of petty cheapness can be avoided if you don't want to, it's unnecessary! You can earn a few dollars a year for the packaging bags!"

Mr. He said helplessly: "Brother Min, our life is not easy now. Since the last salary cut, our income has also plummeted! Now sales expenses must be managed, reimbursement expenses must be managed, and cost control is still strict. You also know that we have always spent a lot of money, and if we don't make some extra money, we will hardly survive this day!"

Li Min sighed and said, "You guys, I'm just spoiled! Have you forgotten the time we lived together in the Northwest? Now that I'm used to living a good life, I don't know how to live without money. I usually don’t listen to those who tell you to spend money not to be so extravagant, and it’s not that the company doesn’t provide you with cars. If you insist on buying such a good car, is it necessary for each person to have a Mercedes-Benz S450?”

Neither of them dared to speak.

Du Gang promptly smoothed things over and said: "Brother Min, don't be angry, you have a good life, who doesn't want to live a good life! I also know the little boss of the packaging bag. He is a native of Kunming, and we are still friends." As for my old friend, I’ve done things pretty well. There’s really been nothing in the past few years! It’s the same with me, the transportation cost is too high, and now it’s all purchased on a unified platform, so it’s hard to make money!”

Li Min said with a stern face: "It's hard to make money? Then did you make any money? You guys are just short-sighted. Now you know why I was transferred to the central region. I started from Chongqing, and I can't just hang around in one place all the time." , understand?"

The three of them smiled at the same time.

Yingzi acted coquettishly at the right time and said, "Brother Min is the most far-sighted!"

At this time, I saw Tang Hui's eyes drifting towards Yingzi. Yingzi picked up the wine glass and said to Li Min, "Brother Min, let's have a drink at the bar. I haven't had a drink with you for a long time!"

Li Min said a little embarrassedly: "Are you still doing this?" He said so, but he still took Yingzi's arm, and had a drink with Yingzi, and Yingzi immediately kissed Li Min on the face, everyone cheered Laughing, the atmosphere eased a lot again.

I probably know Li Min's Achilles' heel. This person sees clearly and thinks long-term. It is because of this color that he has no resistance. I guess this Yingzi is probably Tang Hui, who gave it to Li Min. .

I took a sip of wine and watched them chatting and laughing happily. While Yingzi was going to the bathroom, Tang Hui stared at Yingzi's back bewitchingly and said, "Brother Min, I think my sister-in-law's figure is getting plump. It is the fruit of your hard work!"

Li Min scolded with a smile: "Bastard, do you talk like that? What do you mean I work hard? You bastard didn't cause trouble for me. I can tell you, hurry up and send me away next month. If you want it every day, who can stand it!"

Several people smiled wisely. I saw Mr. He's expression, and I didn't care at all about what they said.

Tang Hui said wretchedly: "Brother Min, you need to make up for it, I can't help you with this!"

Li Min snorted and said, "I guess you have served me well in the past!"

Then he said sternly: "That's not it, let's talk about something serious! I think it's time to change the supply of this additive!"

Tang Hui looked at the wine bottle on the table, smiled and said: "Old Hu, this person is okay, but he has taken advantage of him for such a long time, it's time to change, but we don't have one now." It’s a suitable manufacturer, besides, I’m afraid the effect won’t come out for temporary proofing, so don’t disagree with the mixing station!”

Mr. He added: "Also, if Lao Hu's goods are cut off so suddenly, will he have too much opinion? If he sues, it will be difficult!"

Li Min said disdainfully: "He dares! Then he really doesn't want to do it anymore, and I will cut off all his products immediately, just find another manufacturer to come over for comparison. It depends on the individual's ability!" After finishing speaking, I don't know why, and looked at me.

I froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant?
Li Min asked me directly: "How much do you know about additives?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know anything!"

Li Min asked again: "Can you do it?"

I hesitated and asked, "Is it the material added to the cement? Like a water reducing agent, a retarder or something like that?"

Li Min nodded.

I asked again: "Is this thing used in large quantities?"

Li Min smiled without saying a word.

Tang Hui immediately explained: "Is it big? We have a total of 26 mixing plants in the central region, and the annual consumption of one mixing plant is about 1500 tons. You can figure it out yourself!"

I thought for a while and asked, "How much profit is a ton?"

Li Min asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

I answered frankly: "I don't know the profit point. How do I know if this is worth doing? Go and learn? I don't know anything, and I don't have much money to make. Why should I work on it?" What about wasting time?"

Li Min smiled and said: "You are very frank, that's good! Profit is a matter of profit, it's up to you to see how to operate it!"

Tang Hui said to me displeasedly: "Brother Min is here, as long as I let you do it, you can just laugh and ask so many questions!"

I smiled and said: "The sky doesn't just drop pies for no reason. Only after you ask clearly will you know how to operate it? Besides, it's not that I question Brother Min's energy, but that it's risky to do it." How much is there? Also, why do you let me, an outsider, come to make such a good money, who can't you find?"

Du Gang cut it and said: "You are a little ignorant of flattery, Brother Min thinks highly of you, that's why I gave you this chance! Do you know how many people are waiting outside..."

Li Min interrupted Du Gang and said: "Speaking of things can make there be no barriers between everyone. I think tipping is a good way of thinking. There is no free lunch in this world. If we cook it for you, we will naturally make money." , we take 7 and you take 3."

I snorted and said, "What about the risk? Can we control it?"

Tang Hui said displeased again: "Why can't we control it? We have been doing this all these years!"

I curled my lips and said, "Really? How to do it? Let me ask you a simple question? How do you pay?"

Tang Hui was stunned for a moment, then replied, "We don't care about these things, it's Lao Hu who handles it himself, and the money we collect each month will do!"

I sighed and said: "Public versus private? Is this money hot for you? You just bought a Mercedes-Benz so swaggeringly? How much is your monthly salary? Plus year-end dividends, bonuses , how many years will it take you to save enough money to buy a Mercedes-Benz?"

Tang Hui was stumped by the words I said.

I went on to say: "It's been so many years, and I've been doing it this way. I'm sweating for you! Can you talk about this matter openly?"

Tang Hui argued: "What's the matter? This is the industry's rule, everyone does it this way!"

I shook my head and said, "I'm fine today, but it doesn't mean I understand that I'm fine. If you don't want to find a safe way, you will be investigated sooner or later! No matter what you say, it's not considered a legitimate interest, right?"

Tang Hui stopped talking.

Li Min was not angry, but looked at me with surprised eyes and asked, "Then it's safest for you to tell me what to do!"

I thought for a while and said: "Set up a company and bring your family members or trustworthy people into the company. I will give you wages or bonuses every month, and you can also purchase some real estate in the name of the company. You can buy it in the name of the company." Take it and use it, and when you find it, it is borrowed! The same is true for your money, and one day, it will be borrowed from the company, just return it!"

Li Min thought more, and asked again: "But how do you earn the price difference?"

I explained: "The supplier directly signs the contract with you. I am an intermediary, and I charge an intermediary fee. This is allowed by the state. I am a normal trading company, and all the accounts are paid from me. I pay taxes according to the law, and it is only the last part of the money. , just pay attention!"

Li Min said like a treasure: "Brother, yes, you have solved my biggest problem! In the past few years, I have been worrying about these things, how should I deal with them? Now I understand, I have been taught! Come on, Come, come, let's have a drink!"

After finishing speaking, just about to drink, he put down the wine glass and said to Yingzi: "Go to the wine cabinet and take out a bottle of Moutai from the top floor. This red wine is too fucking fake!"

Yingzi asked with some reluctance: "Which bottle do you take? How old is it?"

Li Min glared at Yingzi, and walked to the wine cabinet by himself.

Tang Hui immediately gave Yingzi a blank look, and blamed in a low voice: "I found that you don't know what Brother Min is saying now, and you keep talking back if you have nothing to do!"

This is not like a conversation between brother and sister-in-law. I don’t know what is the relationship between them, but the other two know it. Du Gang also whispered: "Yeah, Yingzi, it will be difficult for you to go on like this." Follow Brother Min again!"

Yingzi said aggrievedly: "I don't know why he has such a temper recently. He used to let me do everything!"
