Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 114 Topic Terminator

The wine was almost finished, so we changed to sit in the coffee shop in the lobby. I looked at the wine list and was shocked. A bottle of mineral water cost 80 yuan. I thought that if the price bureau came, I would catch one. .

When the waiter came over and asked me what I wanted to drink, I casually said water.But the waiter didn't leave, he was still staring at me, as if waiting for my next words.

I said water again, and then the waiter asked: "Sir, do you want mineral water or distilled water?" Then I reacted and said: "Mineral water."

The waiter still didn't leave, and then asked: "Do you want the one with sparkling water? Or the one without sparkling water?" This stopped me. I really haven't drunk mineral water with sparkling water, so I don't think it's just soda ?Let's just say steam.

The waiter brought up a bottle of mineral water in a glass bottle. The bottle was full of English letters. I didn't understand it. The waiter poured it into the glass for me. I took a sip and blurted out: "Isn't this just sugar-free soda? Is it?" The waiter smiled and said nothing.

Yaoyang explained: "It's called soda water, devils like to drink it the most. To be honest, I don't know what's so good about it. It's not as good as our own tea."

Shenghua also looked at the drink list and said, "Yaoyang, this is really a black shop, isn't it too expensive? A bottle of water is worth a meal."

Yaoyang said proudly: "Look, it's old-fashioned, you have to understand the mentality of the people who come to me. Why do people spend money here, just to show off, tell you that I have money, I don't care about money, but You have to bring something out, others don’t have what I have. Let’s talk about this bottle of water, pure French imported perrier A, authentic Made in France, my purchase price is 40 RMB, plus tariffs, do you think I made money? ?

Besides, what do people eat now?What you eat is the atmosphere!The table next to you is either a celebrity or an entrepreneur, and everyone else is worth hundreds of millions. Even if you eat a bowl of cabbage soup, people will think that you are pearl, emerald, and white jade soup.Some of the people who come to my place want to eat economically and economically, don’t they all want to meet more people in the upper class, make a few decent friends, or at least talk about it!
As soon as I said it, I had dinner with the chairman of Huaye Group today, and I had dinner with Lao Li from Quanjude yesterday, and I saw that little singer in the clubhouse the day before yesterday, next to a coal boss in Shanxi.Listen, it's a status symbol.

What are we selling?It's a social platform, and no amount of money can buy it.Don't think it's expensive, you may not be able to eat it if you are expensive, and we may not necessarily serve it. In the past, if you are not a prince and general, you should not step on the threshold of me! "

After everyone listened, they all said that this was a fallacy, they just wanted to make black-hearted money, and they said it openly.I really think it makes sense and I learned something from it.Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. This sentence is correct. The people you meet determine your altitude. Where can your vision go?
Everyone chatted for a while, Yaoyang asked me: "Brother, tell me something you don't like to hear. I think you are just an ordinary person. You don't look like someone with a deep background or peerless skills. Why? Just capture the heart of a flower in our army compound?"

I smiled and said: "To put it clichéd, what people pay attention to is fate. I am an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, but I didn't think Katsuo is such a great person. I didn't know her at the time. The family situation, even if I know it now, I don’t think it’s anything special, including everyone here, I think you are just ordinary people.”

Yaoyang looked at me intriguingly and said, "Do you know who Katsunan's father is? Do you know my Brother Dahua, what rank I am now? Do you know what I do?"

I looked at Yaoyang strangely and said: "Why do I need to know, what are you doing? Does it have anything to do with me and Shengnan? I can't promise to give Shengnan everything he wants, but I will give my best Give it to her, I don't intend to live with you!"

Yaoyang still didn't seem to want to end the debate, and continued: "But you also know that if it weren't for today, because you are Katsuo's boyfriend, you might be lying in the hospital with bruises all over your body, this is the reality .”

I nodded and said: "I admit that the reality is cruel. Marriage and love cannot be just a matter of two people. If this is the case, will you stop pursuing the happiness you want? Meeting the person you like , I have to avoid three points, and then, I can only wish her three warm springs and no cold winters on paper, and wish her years without waves. Instead of blessing, it is better to give her happiness myself."

Yaoyang sneered and said: "It's very pleasant to say, but the ideal is very happy, but the reality is very backbone."

Shenghua persuaded: "Okay, okay, it's not that you want to marry him, Shengnan has his own plans, besides, my family is not a wealthy family, he is A Fei, and now he is also the vice president of a listed group company. How old is he, don't bully the young and poor, only the country that we work hard for is stable, we have no right to look down on others, you and I didn't walk our way step by step."

What Yaoyang wanted to say, Miss Min suddenly got excited and said for some reason: "Yaoyang, do you really think so? I misunderstood you, I am also an ordinary woman, I have always had fantasies, but what did you give today? I learned a profound lesson, which made me realize the reality." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

The atmosphere suddenly became dignified, Yaoyang watched Sister Min's leaving figure and said in a low voice: "I just put the real problem on the table and said it, I just reminded me, I didn't say it... ..." I didn't continue, the rest of the words.

Shenghua sighed and said: "You, you don't cherish the person in front of you. You deserve to be single. They have been with you for so many years, and they don't seek fame or profit. Now that you've come here, who do you want to see? Who are you going to tell?"

The originally happy drinking party just broke up like this.When Shenghua sent us away, he told me that in the city of BJ, there are uncles everywhere, try not to cause trouble if you can, but if someone wants to trouble us, don’t be cowardly, it’s just a phone call.I nodded gratefully.After Liu Sheng left my phone number, he told me to come to see me tomorrow, and I told him my hotel address.

Three days later, Bao'er and I boarded the flight back to Zhuhai.During these three days, Liu Sheng and I discussed in detail how his company is developing, the direction of future development, and some specific implementation methods.Liu Sheng also promised me that if the product is successful, I will definitely be his only supplier.

Back in Zhuhai, I told Lao Feng about the general situation, who knew that Lao Feng didn't pay attention to it at all, and just said: "You can do things, I don't worry."

The second letter of intent for cooperation is Henan Zhengzhou Electrician Group, and I plan to go by myself.Bao'er wanted to follow her again, but I firmly refused her, and said to her: "Haven't you been scared enough? Take a good rest at home, your new client, follow along well, it's almost the end of the year, You have to work harder!" Bao'er still refused to give up, and said coquettishly: "You can take me with you, I was a little scared at the time, but thinking about it later, I found it very exciting, like making a movie, I will definitely not delay My own clients, I want to learn more."

I shook my head and said, "No, that's the most. When I go to Chengdu, I'll take you with me. Anyway, it's your territory, so there's no way to talk about it!"

Zhengzhou Electrician Group in Henan Province is extremely easy to do, and there are basically no obstacles. The only thing is that their price is too low, which is basically the factory cost of the company, but they are developing a national patent. Once the application is approved, they have to For mass production, special lines will be used at that time, and we can only make some money at that time. "

It only took me three days to get it done.

In the past few days, Shengnan said that there is a case that is being handled, and the work unit will allow her to leave after the case is completed, telling me not to worry.I told her that I've been on business trips for the past few days, and when your case is over, I'm probably pretty busy.

Back in Zhuhai, lawyer Tang, the legal counsel, called me and wanted to chat with me about the progress of the case. I said to come to my office directly.The legal consultant came to my office and was very enthusiastic. It was also the first time I met her, and I had been communicating with her by phone before.A capable middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance, but speaks clearly and loudly.

She first told me that the head of the group legal department of our company is her mentor, and she has taken classes with him for two years.In fact, I have only heard of the minister's name, but I have never seen it. I guess they don't know me, so I politely say that I have admired my name for a long time.

Afterwards, lawyer Tang said: "The case is basically over, but there is a little doubt. When you described the case at the time, you said that the criminal told his subordinates to inflict violence on you, but there is no such item in the records of the police handling the case. I want to ask you, do you need to appeal?"

I thought for a while and asked, "How big is the difference?"

Lawyer Tang said: "There is a big difference. If he instigates his subordinates to attack you violently, then he will have an additional crime of instigating others to injure another person's body. Depending on the degree of injury, he can be sentenced to 3 to 7 years in prison. .”

I said oh, "Forget it!"

Lawyer Tang was very surprised, because she also talked to me about out-of-court settlement before, saying that the other party proposed a high compensation and hoped that I would accept it, but my attitude was very firm at the time, and I would never settle. But now that the money was confiscated, she agreed, which made her very puzzled.

I didn't explain it to her. She was also very professional and didn't ask me. Then she asked me if I should be there when the sentence was pronounced. I could go, or I could be represented by her.

I replied: "If I have time, I will go. If I don't have time, just tell me the result when the time comes."

A week later, I received a call from Lawyer Tang, who told me the result of the verdict. The principal culprit, Xiaojie, hurt others, had sex with underage girls, had sex against her will, illegal detention, extortion and multiple crimes. Sentenced to 15 years in prison.The accessory was sentenced to 3 years for beating my little follower, and Brother Biao was sentenced to 6 years.
