Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1048

I hastily said in a low voice: "You can't mention me in this meeting. My name is Fei Chen and I'm a salesman in a trading company. Don't mention my other identities!"

Mr. Zhang said nonchalantly, "Have you started to engage in underground activities now?"

I smiled and said: "Then don't worry about it, let's just make a deal like this, I'll wait for you tomorrow, please make a note of the phone number, and call me when the time comes!"

I made an appointment here, hung up the phone, and prepared to go out.

As soon as the door was opened, Du Gang whispered: "Brother Min, who the hell is he? Isn't he just a small business of a trading company? How could he have such great energy? If he really knows How can so many people become like this now? Do you believe it too?"

Li Min said objectively: "What's so strange about this? Let me tell you, his trading company is not simple. Have you heard of Weihua Group? This is their Chengdu branch. The general manager is my former A very good friend, what I asked him to bring me this time is very important, this is trust in him. You listen to him again, every sentence is reasonable, and you analyze things logically, I am not talking about you, don’t look at you one by one The social status is rich, and people have been out of the society for so many years, so they may not have the ability to do things! Don't underestimate people, there are people who are small and have great energy!"

I closed the door again, then slammed it open, making sure no one outside could hear me.

I pushed open the door, walked out, looked at them looking forward to me and said, "I have an appointment, he is in Guiyang now, come over tomorrow, I will pick him up then, brother Min, can you arrange a meeting?"

Li Min looked at me differently and asked, "He is in Guiyang, and he came to Chongqing to meet me?"

I hummed and said, "As soon as I heard your brother Min's name, he agreed to come over!"

Li Min naturally wouldn't believe this, and looked at me carefully again to confirm: "He really agreed to come?"

I smiled and said, "I can still lie to you about this! Don't you know when we meet tomorrow?"

Li Min nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes! Then Xiao Tang, you can arrange it and find a better restaurant!"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's wait until he comes to meet tomorrow. He's not that particular! It's important to talk about other things!"

Li Min hummed and said: "It makes sense. After all, we are not that familiar yet, so we met for tea first! Then it's settled? How many people should we go with?"

I thought for a while and said, "Brother Min, let me go with you first, and then we'll see the situation!"

I saw that Tang Hui and Mr. He were somewhat dissatisfied and disappointed. After all, it was Mr. Zhang, and they also wanted to have a chance to get acquainted, but Li Min was here, and it was my own relationship, so they couldn't say anything more.

Li Min saw their disappointment, and said, "I'll get to know them first, and then I'll introduce you to them! Now that I'm familiar, there are so many opportunities like this!"

After this matter is settled, the atmosphere at the wine table has become different again. If he was friendly to me just now and didn't shy away from me, now he has become a little respectful.When Du Gang took out the cigarettes, he gave them to Li Min first, then Tang Hui, and finally me. Now it changed immediately. He gave Li Min first, but Li Min directly gave it to me, and then took the cigarettes himself. , The toast is the same, either a few people drink together, or they toast me one by one.

It was only then that I discovered that relationship is a thing that can really be a fox and pretend to be a tiger. I didn't feel this way before, because I was that tiger. Now that I have become a fox, I can be complacent. The degree of emphasis on people has changed immediately.

However, the few of them are pretty good. After all, they were polite to me from the very beginning without any hostility, and they also knew everything about me. I know, there is also Huang Qi's credit for bringing things to Li Min. Although I don't know what it is, I can guess roughly.

Li Min's attitude hasn't changed much on the surface, but there must be a certain change in his heart, as can be seen from his tone of voice: "Brother Fei, I'm really curious about why you have such a good attitude. Resources, why don’t you use them?”

I smiled and replied: "How to use it? I haven't even thought about these things. Zhang Zhiyou and I are friends, that's all, I haven't thought about other things! Sometimes, once there is an interest relationship between friends, the taste will change." So, I generally don’t like doing business with my friends!”

Li Min shook his head with a smile and said: "Ten years ago, I also thought like you, but as time went on, I found that my thinking was very naive! Why? It's very simple, no matter how strong a friendship is, They are not unbreakable, there is no true friendship in this world, if there is no interest involved, how long do you think friends can last?"

I know what he's going to say, and I've told people about this theory countless times, but I still retorted: "Not all friendships have to have a relationship of interest! The friendship between gentlemen is like water, and the friendship between villains Sweetness is like sweetness, once it comes to interests, it will change its quality.”

Li Min said in an educational tone: "I will really talk about you at this point. You are still too immature, and your thinking is too naive. Let's talk about it first, what is a friend? It is like-minded people. We are friends with each other. Use the power in your hands to jointly manage and work together to create a more environment for everyone. Isn’t this a matter of course? Why don’t you use it? If you don’t use it, others have to use it, so why don’t you make it cheaper for yourself? What? There is a saying that the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains, and the poor have no one to ask in the downtown! Without money, what do you do to maintain your friendship? Without money, how do you communicate? The relationship between people is originally a relationship of mutual use , there is nothing wrong with it, I think it is better to be used by others than to be used by no one!"

I knew I couldn't argue anymore, so I hurriedly nodded and said, "I've been taught!"

Li Min said with a persuasive face: "I'll call you Tip, I'm an experienced person, I will tell you about many things in the future, and I will definitely not point you to the underworld! My brothers, these few days Isn't it all issued every year?"

After finishing speaking, looking at Tang Hui, Tang Hui hurriedly said, "Yeah, look at me, what was I like before? If you want education and no education, you need education and no education, you are useless. If I hadn't met Brother Min, I would be still alive now." Set up a street stall!"

Du Gang went on to say: "I'm even more pitiful. I started a business with my dad and opened a factory without graduating from primary school. If it wasn't for Brother Min, my factory would have closed down a long time ago! Thanks to Brother Min, I can be where I am today!"

I think it's time for Mr. He to express his attitude, but Mr. He just smiled, took a sip of his wine, and said nothing.

I noticed something, it seems that this Mr. He is not the same as them, it's just that Li Min has a high position and authority, and Mr. He has to give in.

Li Min suddenly put his arms around my shoulders enthusiastically and said, "Brother, let's make a fortune together! I promise you will buy a house in Chongqing in one year, and let you live in a villa in two years!"

I'm not used to getting too close to people, whether it's a man or a woman.So I instinctively leaned to the side, and said sincerely: "Brother Min, I really don't have much ambition, as long as I can make some money, I don't mind if I can make more, but I want to be stable, and I don't want to be young." I will spend the rest of my life in prison!"

This remark aroused Tang Hui's dissatisfaction, and he said to me: "Brother, I don't like to hear your words. What do you mean we are doing something illegal?"

Li Min didn't speak, maybe he was a little dissatisfied with my words.

I said unhurriedly: "I don't know what the truth is, but from the conversation you just had, I can hear something! Some things, if they are fine now, they will be fine in the future! I am not here I'll teach you a lesson, but, according to your current practice, it's hard not to think of anything wrong!

Think about it, is it easy for Brother Min to be in this position now?It's good that nothing happened to him, but if something happened, everyone would be in trouble.On the other hand, if one of you has something to do, Brother Min can't get rid of it, can this work?Don't seek speed in doing things, you must seek stability! "

Then he said to Li Min earnestly: "Brother Min, you were not surprised just now, why am I still a small salesman instead of relying on some connections? I will tell you the reason, because I am timid, It's not a foolproof thing, and I won't take risks!"

Du Gang said disdainfully: "Where in this world is there no risk at all? No risk means no profit, so wouldn't it be over if you go to work honestly? Then you will be like this for the rest of your life! "

I sneered and said: "If you say that, you are at risk when you go to work. Every minute you walk, you will be hit by a car! I am not discussing this issue with you, but expressing my true thoughts! I It's not alarmist talk, there are many people around me, so I folded in!

Not to mention far away, but close to it, last year the vice president of Zhonghua Pharmaceutical was sentenced to 14 years in prison for embezzling public funds. You all know this, right?How much did he get?And it's not considered private embezzlement, it's just that 300 million was embezzled to let his family members open a real estate company, and he returned it after half a year, no, he was still found out!

The year before last, the secretary-general of the Hunan Chamber of Commerce, which is a non-governmental organization of private enterprises, each company only charged 2000 yuan in membership fees every year, and was directly sued in court because of unclear accounts. It took 2 years and 6 months , He is a useless person when he comes out, no one will use him at all!

There are countless examples like this. At the beginning, I thought that I was definitely fine.Didn't all go in! "

Mr. He couldn't sit still and said: "But what we did did not violate the general framework and did not damage state-owned assets. It just didn't help the country save money. I think it's nothing to make rational use of market competition!"

I cut it and said: "You can't tell me this, you have to talk to the judge then! If you think it's okay, just keep doing it. I'm an outsider, but I gave myself Just a little opinion! Whether you listen or not is up to you!"

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and everyone stopped talking for a while.

After a while, Li Min suddenly laughed, and said with a little excitement: "Brother, I wish I had known you a few years earlier. I have to say that I have been a bit unscrupulous in doing things these few years. Power often makes people rush." You are right, you are right, we should be careful when we do things! Think about it, we don’t need anything now, if we want money, money, and power, we should really do things in a strict manner, and be careful! You are right These are really enlightening, we should have woken up a long time ago!"

Then he pointed at a few of them and said, "You guys, don't wake up, if this continues, something will happen! This time we have encountered a master!"

Several people winked, finally smiled at the same time, held up the glass to me and said, "We respect Brother Fei! Master!"

I laughed and drank a glass. I felt that my words might be superfluous. I pretended to be a little too drunk and said, "We have something to do tomorrow, so I won't drink. Let's go first, and you all drink slowly!"

Li Min immediately objected: "Don't, I'm only drinking happily. What you just said, we really benefited from it!"

I shook my head and said, "Just now I drank too much and talked nonsense, don't take it seriously, I really have to go, or I will delay my business tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, he walked outside the door and just knelt down to put on his shoes. Li Min was standing behind me and was still persuading me. Yingzi just opened the door and came in with a big bag in his hand. I don’t know if he saw me or not. , The bag was thrown on the ground, and it just hit my head. I guess these bags are all leather, and my head hurts a bit.

I rubbed my head, held back my anger, smiled and picked up the bag on the ground, put it on the shoe cabinet and said, "Sister-in-law, these bags should be quite expensive, right? Are you so careless?" Next, because I already felt the anger of Li Min behind me.

Who knows that Yingzi is really naive, as if he didn't hear, he flicked the high heels on his feet, walked around me, and walked towards Li Min.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a crisp and loud slap in the face. I knew what was going on without even looking. Yingzi's hissing and lung-piercing cries sounded behind me. I didn't even look at it, so I pushed the door open out.

Early the next morning, I received a call from Mr. Zhang, telling me to come downstairs to my hotel at 10 o'clock.

I thought about picking him up, but since he didn't have to worry about these things, I didn't mention picking him up, and just waited for him at the hotel.

Li Min also called very early and learned the location of my hotel and said he would be there soon.

This time, he was alone. Seeing me standing in the hall, he hurried over and said to me, "I was really embarrassed last night! Women are ignorant, so don't blame me for being lax in discipline! Brother, please don't mind me." , I will ask her to make an apology to you after today's business is over!"

I put on a straight face and said, "Brother Min, you are really good at everything, but she has made thousands of mistakes, and you shouldn't have done anything!"
