Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1071 Meeting Process
Back at the hotel, I waited anxiously for Mr. Zhang. I don't know how they talked?Will it shake me out?
Huang Qi has also been waiting for me, probably because she knew that my matter was really serious, so she didn't bother me anymore, she just said to me: "As long as you need my help, just come to me!"

I froze for a moment, looked at her, and wondered why she was so nice to me all of a sudden?
Huang Qi smiled and said: "I know you are a person who does great things, but I don't know what is the purpose of your coming to our company? However, I don't think you have any bad intentions. You can go about your business and I won't delay your business. I thought I could keep you to help me, but now it seems impossible!"

I smiled awkwardly and said: "What big things can I do, I just want to make some money! Don't think too much, I won't leave our company for a while, but I do have things to do right now, but It is also related to our company! It has something to do with it!"

Huang Qi hummed and said, "I know this!"

Mr. Zhang came back, came back with Li Min, and came back with a smile.

I knew I should be fine, so I greeted him. Li Min hugged me happily and said, "Brother, you really helped me this time! It's done! My position as vice president is guaranteed!"

I froze for a moment, unnaturally pushed Li Min away, and looked at Mr. Zhang suspiciously. The expression on Mr. Zhang's face was not so pretty anymore, and he lowered his head and dared not look at me.

I knew this was a bad thing, so I asked Mr. Zhang angrily: "Tell me, the process of meeting!"

Mr. Zhang bowed his head and refused to speak.

Li Min didn't see our expressions at all, and said excitedly: "Our president saw that Mr. Zhang really came, and he was very surprised at first. I told him before that we were about to sign the contract. He didn't believe it until He believed it when he saw Mr. Zhang face to face. Mr. Zhang is also very face-saving, and he was really polite to our president, calling out big brothers. I thought Mr. Zhang didn't know our president. Who knew they were old acquaintances! You are too, why didn't you tell me before!"

I curled my lips and didn't answer his question. Instead, I looked at Mr. Zhang and asked, "Why did you just call him big brother? When did he become your big brother?"

Boss Zhang lowered his head and replied, "That's what he was, that's what I called him before!"

I sighed and said, "You are reminding him!"

Li Min was so stupid that he didn't know what we were talking about, so he asked in a daze: "Is there any problem with this name? The president is very happy, and said that it has been a long time since anyone called him that! After that, he kept praising my work." Well done, and said that this cooperation is historic and a big step for both parties!"

I cut it and said, "It's so official, it's not sincere!"

Mr. Zhang hurriedly added: "This is sincere, and he didn't raise any objection to our contract." Then, he glanced at me.

I understand what he means, Li Min can't see the way inside, but Sun Shengguo is not a fool, he must know that Li Min is for his own performance, willing to agree to any conditions, and can sign any treaty that betrays the country and seeks glory.

Mr. Zhang explained: "Mr. Sun seems to think that after drafting the contract, he feels that it is enough to adjust the details. There is no problem with the general direction!" Then he added in a low voice: "He said that after all, this contract has been carefully considered by an expert. Yes, experts have always done things to achieve a win-win situation for both parties!"

I gave Mr. Zhang a blank look, knowing that Sun Shengguo must not be able to hide this matter, but I still quibbled: "It shouldn't be, did you ask someone to read this contract?"

Mr. Zhang raised his head, and now he said confidently: "No, no, this is our company's standard contract version!"

I seemed to be giving myself an air and said: "That's it, I guess Sun always misunderstood, didn't you explain it to him?"

Mr. Zhang hummed and said: "I explained it and told him that this is our company's standard contract template! But he said, what he said was not about the contract, and asked me why I contacted their company?"

I took a deep breath and asked, "How did you answer?"

Li Min replied quickly: "Mr. Zhang didn't answer. I told him for him. I must not forget your contribution. I told our president that this is a manufacturer that is currently competing for our concrete additives. It often competes with Zhang. It was introduced by a friend I always dealt with, and Zhang Zong and I hit it off immediately, and both sides soon had this intention, and this matter was facilitated!"

I groaned and asked again: "Then what did your president say?"

Li Min replied: "Our president didn't ask any more questions. He just said that Mr. Zhang has friends all over the world, but there are not many friends with such insight!"

I groaned and said, "I don't even know if I'm praising you or mocking you!"

Li Min was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this an exaggeration?"

I snorted coldly and said: "I hope! This matter is over like this! From now on, when you do business, don't mention me anymore!"

Li Min wanted to say something else, but Mr. Zhang hurriedly interrupted him, nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, this matter is over like this, and we won't bring it up again in the future!"

Li Min said with a smile: "Okay, this is a happy ending! Oh, I was only thinking about talking to you, and I didn't even see Sister Qi coming!"

Huang Qi gave Li Min a white look, and then said with a fake smile: "How can you see me in your eyes!?"

Li Min walked over very intimately, sat next to Huang Qi, and said shamelessly: "You are everywhere in my eyes, you have always been lukewarm to me, right? Why are you with us this time? Brother came to see me together? You should have come a long time ago!"

Huang Qi instinctively retreated to the back of her chair, and said, "Don't dare, dare not! Li is always busy, and the main purpose of my visit this time is to see if our company's additives can enter. Such a big Huaxin Group?"

Li Min said sharply: "What kind of a big deal is this? Don't talk about additives. I plan to hand over our company's machinery purchases to your company in the later stage. Also, this time I called Brother Chen to come here just to get along with you." He discussed about setting up a material procurement company around Huaxin. This is the largest procurement platform that our company will build. All procurement business will go through this company in the future. %, it will be taken by other powerful companies! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once you enter it, the benefits are self-evident!"

Then, with his eyes shining, he glanced at us and said, "I've made up my mind. They are all my nobles. I won't hide it from you. I will take 30% of the 10%, and Mr. Zhang will take 10%." , the remaining 10% is for Brother Chen!"

Mr. Zhang was the first to decline and said: "This is not acceptable, you also know my identity, I dare not earn this money!"

I also hurriedly said: "Your group purchases hundreds of millions of dollars a year, we dare not accept it!"

Huang Qi cut it and said: "You talk so much, it has nothing to do with me!"

Li Min said with a smile: "You guys, why are you so fake! I've broken my heart with you, and you are still pretending to me here! I want to make money, but I won't just make money by myself. I want to make money these days. Well, in the past, I was also a frog in a well. I didn’t know that there were so many talented people out there. After getting to know you, I knew that only by working with capable and well-established people can I keep money in my pocket for a long time! "

Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your trust in me. To be honest, I really don't lack money. I'm so old. It's not very likely to go further. I don't want to take any more risks!"

Li Min looked at me a little disappointed.

I shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I want to make money, but if the risk is too high, forget it!"

Li Min hurriedly explained: "This is not risky money! This is an opening for us by the company. The 30% of the shares are given to us high-level executives! You also know that the wages of our central enterprises have always been Not high, our old president had this idea at the time, and now the new president has put forward this idea again, and this is also a reasonable income for us!"

I curled my lips and said, "You really trust your new CEO, how do you know he's not trying to test you? Now you can have a good time!"

Li Min let out a cry, and said in shock: "No way? This is his own idea, I didn't even mention it!"

I sighed and said, "You're definitely not stupid enough to bring this up by yourself, he's just testing you out, how are you, and we will coincidentally agree with him in the future!"

Li Min was startled, and slumped on the chair all of a sudden, without speaking for a long time.

I comforted me: "I'm just conjecturing, but based on what I know about him, he's not a money-greedy person. As for whether you guys make money or not, should he turn a blind eye to the matter of making money or not? If you don't tolerate it, I won't know!"

Li Min asked tremblingly: "Then what do you think I should do now?"

I thought for a while and said, "Just wait and see! Don't take the lead in this matter. If he brings it up again, you will say that you are not capable enough, and you can't take care of it!"

Li Min still said unwillingly: "Just give up such a good opportunity like this? With the 30% of the shares, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. Even if I'm not in the position in the future, I don't have to worry about running out of money!"

I persuaded earnestly: "Mr. Li, let me advise you a few words! You can never make money. When I first met you, I told you that the most important thing is safety first! When you get the money Now, can you keep it safe in your own hands, that is the real profit! Do you think that you can sit back and relax after getting the 30% of the shares? You may be checked at any time due to your position , not to mention that you are not in the position, who do you think will give you face? You remember, the fact that people leave tea cold is applicable at any time! I am not saying bad things about your subordinates. If you don’t believe me, we can do it Try it, you can tell Mr. He and Mr. Tang right now, just talk about what we discussed just now, tell them that you may be stepping down soon, how do you see their reaction?"

Li Min said confidently; "They will definitely support me! They have been with me for so many years, and I still have the confidence in this!"

I smiled and said, "I'm not trying to sow discord, it's just that I understand human nature too well! It's not a question of whether they talk about loyalty, but that they fly away when disaster strikes. This is the instinctive reaction of human beings. Or they will feel guilty, will I regret it, but my first reaction must be to distance myself from you and find a way to keep myself and get myself out."

Li Min said in disbelief: "Impossible, I'll call them now!"

I resisted his urge to pick up the phone and said: "Don't test human nature easily. Once you try, no matter what the result is, the one who loses is yourself! I'm just telling you this truth! Whoever changes it will be the same as them You can’t blame them for doing this, they also have wives and children, they can’t just ignore it for the sake of loyalty, right? Don’t take everything for granted, do you think you have given them so many benefits for so many years? , if you are in great trouble, why would they ignore you and leave you behind? That's because your relationship for many years is based on money!"

Li Min put down the phone in frustration, and murmured, "Is it that realistic?"

I hummed and said: "This is the fact! Inevitable reality! No one can change it!"

Li Min suddenly asked me back: "What about you? Are you the same person?" Then he looked at Mr. Zhang with some dissatisfaction.

Mr. Zhang immediately said with a smile: "He is, and so am I. We are all the same person! However, the difference is that what I trust is not him, but his ability. I know that even if he falls now , will definitely make a comeback. What I value is not his position, but his ability! I also respect his character. He will not harm others or benefit himself, but he will not harm others if he is self-interested! There is a steelyard in everything, it depends on how you measure it!"

Li Min said with a oh: "I understand! It seems that I have lived in vain for so many years. Before I met you, I always felt that I was a dragon among the people. I sat in such a high position at such a young age. Holding a lot of power, with an annual salary of one million, just a few words, it is tens of millions of people, surrounded by people who admire me, now it seems that this is a joke!"

I smiled lightly and said: "Don't say that, the achievements you have made are indeed a height that many people can hardly reach, but your handling of many things is immature. After all, you have only worked in a central enterprise before." , You haven’t been beaten by the society, your career is so smooth that you never think about dark things, failures, and you don’t leave too many options for yourself. It’s human nature to be young and frivolous!”
