Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1092 Big Brother's Phone

When I got back to the hotel and saw Guan Ze playing with a camera, I asked curiously, "When did you learn photography?"

Guan Ze replied flatly: "I have wanted to learn for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity and no money. Now that I have some money, I want to learn."

I took his camera and looked at the photos taken inside. I didn’t know if I didn’t see it. I was shocked when I saw it. This level is not amateur. The focus, the light, the color, and the framing are absolutely professional.

I asked Guan Ze, "Who did you learn from?"

Guan Ze replied casually: "I learned it online! I don't have much to do at ordinary times, except for practicing boxing, I just go to class. I wanted to sign up for the class, but I saw that the tuition is expensive, and I think it's all a scam. !"

I asked again, "Have you washed it out?"

Guan Ze shook his head and said, "What's the purpose of washing it out? How can anyone still edit photos now?"

I cut it and said, "Not in the stream, if you don't wash it out, how do you know what's wrong with your photos?"

Guan Ze said indifferently: "If there is a problem, there will be a problem. I am just a hobby, and I can't eat it!"

I said dissatisfied: "How can you do this? Even if it is a hobby, you have to treat it with your heart. Since you like it, you should do it with your heart. I think your photos are very professional. You should really pay attention. If you haven't studied in a major, it means you are very talented, don't waste it!"

Guan Ze still said indifferently: "What kind of talent can I have? I take pictures based on my senses, let alone professional!"

I shook my head and said, "This is talent! You can take pictures like this without taking professional classes. Although I don't know much about photography, I also know that your pictures are amazing enough!"

Guan Ze snorted and said with a smile: "Okay, don't praise me, I know my own business!"

He didn't pay much attention to it, but I remembered it in my heart. I knew that this guy might become a photographer in no time.

For two days, there was no movement at all for two days, and the bidding companies had successfully passed the pre-selection qualifications.There are 5 companies in total. In addition to us and Hongyu, there is also a Jiangsu joint venture company, Lunkai. This company has only been in the market for three years. The strength of these companies is relatively weak. One is Yujia, a traditional waterproof manufacturer in the north, and the other is a Shenzhen company. Baozhuo is a listed company. A single product occupies most of the southern market, but the market expansion has been too slow in the past two years, and His market has been divided by a lot of small manufacturers. This is a good hand, and let them smash it by themselves.

I was very surprised, why did the two companies come to participate in the competition? They had little chance of winning the bid. They spent so much money but failed to win the bid. The loss was not small?I think this is less than their chances of winning the lottery.

Just the day before the opening of the first round of bidding, I received a call from Sun Shengguo. The phone rang for a while. Ah, are you busy? Why did it take so long to answer my call?"

I do not know why?Obviously, after what happened before, I am no longer afraid of him, and even he is a little afraid of me, but when I heard him speak, I felt a little bit like when I first contacted him, he was still the one who taught me a lot and helped me. The big brother I grew up with.

I politely explained: "Ah, I have something to do just now, and I was talking to someone, brother, you haven't changed your phone number yet?"

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "No, even the mobile phone is the old mobile phone. When you get older and change the number, many people can't find it! Just like you, if I don't call you, you will definitely not find me. Right?"

I said with a little guilt: "No, since I visited you last time, Katsuo told me not to let me disturb you, brother, I feel that after so many things, you may need some space, I don't want to bother you."

Sun Shengguo hummed and said: "I am so old, I have thought about everything, I have figured out everything, I am not so hypocritical, life must go on, and everything must look forward!"

I hummed and said, "That's good, that's good! Big brother is big brother!"

Sun Shengguo was silent for a while, and said: "I have two things with you, one thing, the cooperation between Huaxin and China State Construction, is it you who promoted it?"

Without even thinking about it, I directly denied it: "No, no, how can I have that ability?"

Sun Shengguo snorted coldly and said, "Still lying to me? I just want to know how Li Min knew Zhang Dong from Zhongjian?"

I sighed and said, "I recommended this, but I don't know how they will operate in the later stage!" What I said is also true. I really don't know the specific details of how they cooperated in the later stage. .

Sun Shengguo hummed and said: "That's right, but Li Min, that idiot, he can do such a big thing, it shows that someone pointed him out! It's just that at the beginning, I never thought it would be you! "

I knew it was hard to deny it anymore, so I said directly: "Brother, I didn't expect you to go to Huaxin. For so many years, I have cooperated with Mr. Zhang, so I introduced them to know each other. This is a win-win situation, and I just made a favor.”

Sun Shengguo snorted and said, "That guy Li Min doesn't know who you are at all? He thought you were an ordinary employee of a trading company, but he didn't even think about it. Zhang Dong can give you such a big face, how could you be a What about ordinary employees?"

I explained: "It's just that I didn't tell him. Brother, you called me to talk about this matter? I just introduced them to each other. If you think there is anything wrong, you can tell me directly!"

Sun Shengguo smiled and said: "No, I didn't mean to blame you, you did a good job! I just want to confirm whether my guess is right?"

I asked curiously: "Brother, how did you know it was mine? Did Li Min tell you?"

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "Do you think he can know who you are? However, since the first time he talked about it, I felt strange. At first, I didn't believe it, until I met Zhang Dong and asked him After a few words, he revealed his secrets. Although he kept it secret, I guessed that someone must be behind the scenes to promote it, but I didn't know it was you at the time. Later, when the matter was done, I invited Li Min to my house as a guest. Accidentally, he saw a picture of our house, and when he saw you, his eyes never blinked, and I knew you were behind the scenes!"

I laughed and said, "Brother, you should really be a private detective. You can guess all of this. I didn't mean to hide it from you, but if there are too many things like this, it will become complicated when I come out. It's a win-win cooperation between the two of you, if I participate in this, I'm afraid you will think too much!"

Sun Shengguo sighed and said: "How could I still be so narrow-minded? If I didn't know it was you, I wouldn't care about it! And Li Min, I have let him go down a long time ago. He is greedy for money and lust. How could I keep him?"

I was afraid of getting Li Min involved, so I hurriedly said: "Li Min has a lot of minor problems, but he is not bad in nature, and he is very sincere to you. He is a trustworthy person. I think you have just entered the Huaxin system. I still need someone like him by my side, who can help you more or less!"

Sun Shengguo hummed and said: "This is also a reason for me to keep him, but this person can't do great things, and he won't be useful in the future!"

I sighed and said: "Just find a few people who can do things. What kind of people do big things? What kind of people do big things? You don't want to do anything earth-shattering, that's fine. People like Li Min People are enough!"

Sun Shengguo laughed loudly and said: "That's right, I can't ask everyone to be like you! There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Sun Shengguo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you bidding for a waterproof material project with China State Construction Engineering Corporation?"

I was a little surprised and said, "You know this too? You wouldn't be interested too, would you?"

Sun Shengguo denied: "This has nothing to do with me, it's just that someone asked me to talk to you about cooperation?"

I frowned and asked, "Who is it? Isn't it Hong Yu? If they come to you, there's no need to talk about it!"

Sun Shengguo groaned and said, "Rainbow? Did they look for you?"

I knew that the person who was looking for him was not Hongyu, so I asked curiously: "Isn't it Hongyu? Then the remaining ones, the ones that have a chance are the Lunkai, joint ventures, I'm not interested."

Sun Shengguo was surprised again: "And Lun Kai will participate?"

This time it's my turn to be surprised, it's not Hongyu, it's not Lunkai, so which one else is there?

He hesitated for a moment and said, "How can we talk about the remaining two? They won't have a chance if we talk about it!"

Sun Shengguo asked, "Which two are the rest?"

I groaned and said, "You don't even know this? Then what do you want to tell me?"

Sun Shengguo explained: "I really don't know, how many manufacturers are there? I just agreed to this matter casually. Speak."

I said impatiently: "Which manufacturer is it? To be honest, I don't have much confidence in the bidding this time. The leaders above are too big, and too many people interfered! I was just thinking about winning this project by myself." , but things changed too quickly, and I was caught off guard, no matter who finds you, I don't think the chances are great, it's not that I don't give you face, but that I can't decide this matter!"

Sun Shengguo let out a sigh and said, "You seldom do such unsure things? How did it happen?"

I explained: "There is nothing [-]% in the world, the plan does not change quickly! Brother, I may really not be able to help you with this matter!"

Sun Shengguo hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter, it's just a matter of human feelings."

I sighed and said, "I'm also a soft-spoken person. Some things are really out of my control! Which company is begging you? Why don't I go talk about it, so you've done your best!"

Sun Shengguo smiled and said: "That's fine, but I'll trouble you. It's a company called Yujia, an enterprise in Liaoning. Their boss used to be my old subordinate. If it's an ordinary person, I can just push it away, but I This subordinate has been with me for many years, when I was in Zhongjing, he was helping me, I think you have seen him before, his name is Zheng Datong, as soon as he heard your name, he immediately found me!"

I groaned and searched for this person in my memory. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally got a little impression: "It's him, isn't he your driver? Is this the boss of the company?"

Sun Shengguo smiled and said: "Back then, it was just a matter of my words!"

I hung up on Sun Shengguo, but he didn't tell me anything about his family's troubles, nor did he mention how he got into Huaxin. It seems that the main purpose of looking for me this time is to ask for a favor. I don't know if I want a favor for Zheng Datong.With my morality, I can't guess what Sun Shengguo is thinking?

I checked this Yujia waterproof company, which can be regarded as a first-line brand in China, but it is relatively backward. Three years ago, I wanted to be listed on the new third board, but I didn’t know the reason, so it was nothing.After that, it only occupied part of the Northeast market, and there were 4 production bases in the whole country, but the sales volume was pitifully small.

Why does such a manufacturer come to participate in this bidding?What chance do they have?I'm going to ask someone who has nothing to do with this project. If it weren't for me in this project, I guess they have nothing to do with it. With such resources, why would they spend millions to participate?
Sun Shengguo sent Zheng Datong's phone number. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to call and see what they were thinking.

He learned that I was also in Zheng Datong in Nanjing and would come to see me soon, and I couldn't refuse, so I told him about the hotel I was staying at.

Zheng Datong soon arrived at the hotel. When I saw him, I could barely recognize him. There was not much left of his thick hair, and he looked at least in his 50s.

Behind him was a middle-aged man, who looked quite young, with a big face and tall stature. The most prominent thing was his belly, which looked like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for eight months.

Zheng Datong walked up to me very enthusiastically, shook hands with me and said, "Mr. Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

I smiled and said, "Yes, it's been many years. When I saw you last time, you were still in Zhongjing!"

Zheng Datong didn't shy away from anything, and said directly: "Yes, I was still driving Mr. Sun at that time!"

I looked at the man with a big belly beside him, and Zheng Datong hurriedly introduced: "This is Cao Dingping, the general manager of our company, Mr. Cao!"

I reached out and shook his hand again, and he shook back slightly.

After Zheng Datong sat down, he cut to the chase and said, "Mr. Chen, the matter is urgent, so I won't say polite words. Look at this project, do we have a chance to cooperate?"

I said embarrassingly: "Now it's not a matter of cooperation or non-cooperation, but that I may not even have a chance to win the bid! I'm still wondering, why did you come to participate in this bid? This project is very risky, and it's really not a company like yours." made!"

Cao Dingping seemed a little dissatisfied and said: "Why is it not suitable for an enterprise like ours?"

I ignored his impoliteness, but explained: "First of all, this project is not a conventional material. It is not a small investment to buy equipment for debugging. Once the bid is not won, the loss is not small. Again, you should also know , This kind of bid has nothing to do with it, it is for people to accompany the bid, and the last point is for bidders, no one is sure, and they will not come! You..."
