Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1146
I was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you not like the major you are studying?"

My cousin raised his forehead and said: "I didn't choose this major, but my dad helped me choose it. I wanted to study advertising design, but I didn't get enough points. My dad thought it would be better for me to major in engineering, so he chose it for me." After graduation, most of our classmates don’t want to do jobs related to our major. After graduation, we either become teachers, or work as technicians in a feed factory. The better thing is to go to a cosmetics company. I don’t even want to go! I want to work in advertising The company, but the wages there are generally too low and unstable, I hesitated for a long time!"

I thought for a while and said: "Are you not interested in your major? Or are you not interested in major-related jobs? As far as I know, there are many good jobs related to your major! Agricultural Machinery Institute, Agricultural Science and Technology Research institutes, agricultural expo gardens, these places have a leisurely job, a good environment, and a very stable job! As for the income, it depends on the work unit you choose! If you are not interested in your major, then you can find whatever you want Work, but it’s a bit of a disadvantage, I have to learn from the beginning, but that’s okay! I didn’t study industrial automation before, and the job was related to my major at the beginning, but it’s not the same. I threw it all away! Your life, or It's up to you to choose!"

The cousin was still a little confused and asked: "Brother, I just want you to give me some advice, and in the end I have to make my own choice! Tell me, should I stay in Wuhan? Or should I go to Shanghai?"

I was a little surprised and asked, "Don't you want to go back to Changchun? Can your mother agree?"

The cousin said firmly: "My mother doesn't care, I don't want to go back to Changchun, the development here is too slow! I can stay in school, or I can go to Shanghai to find a job, but I heard that the consumption in Shanghai is too high. I'm afraid I won't last long!"

I encouraged: "As long as you can find a job in Shanghai, you will be able to support yourself! As for the quality of life in the future, it depends on your own ability! As for where you said to settle down, I don't think it matters, as long as you live Anywhere is fine! I just don’t know, is your mother willing to go to Shanghai with you?”

The cousin replied very embarrassed: "She refuses to go, I really worry about being alone at home!"

The eldest cousin hurriedly said: "There is nothing to worry about. There are so many people in the family who can take care of her. You don't have to worry about this. The man has ambitions everywhere. Those of you who are capable should not stay at the door of the house and go out." Go out and go, try it, even if it doesn’t work, you can come back again, brother, I support you!"

The cousin said gratefully: "It's not easy for everyone. My mother is so much that you usually accompany her. Otherwise, she will be at home alone. I am really worried!"

In fact, when I was young, I wanted to grow up and bring the whole family together and live together, but the older I got, the more I felt that this was just a dream, so unrealistic, everyone's way of life, and life trajectory They are not the same, they cannot live together at all, even these relatives in Changchun, they don’t usually move around so much, they only get together during the New Year’s and holidays, I have long since looked down on this.

In the evening, we talked a lot, things that should be said, things that shouldn’t be said, things that can be said, things that can’t be said, from when we were young we went to steal corn from the crop fields together, until I left the north and went to the south, there was no news, and then we talked about everyone After work, we got in touch again, and the family relationship is still there.

The next morning, in a daze, I was woken up by a call from Yaoyang: "Where are you? Why are you still here?"

I opened my eyes, looked at my watch, and asked, "Where have you been? What time is it?"

Yao Yang scolded, "Are you hungover? I don't know what day it is?"

I groaned, rubbed my temples and said, "What day is it?"

Yaoyang shouted angrily: "The opening ceremony of today's conference, you have forgotten why you came back? Xiao Qi and I are here, just waiting for you!"

I patted my face, woke up a little, and cursed secretly: "Drinking is too late!" I hung up the phone, went straight to the bathroom, and after tidying up, Xiao Wei was putting the tableware on the table, and said to me: "Brother, come over for breakfast, do you want porridge or soy milk?"

I shook my head and said, "Sooner or later, I have to go to the venue!"

Xiao Wei put down the tableware in his hand, took the car keys and went downstairs with me. When we arrived outside the venue, we didn’t see Yaoyang and Ren Xiaoqi. The staff were all in black uniforms, and there were many special police officers standing beside them. Security checks are required, very strict.

I called for a long time, but Yaoyang didn't answer, and I called Ren Xiaoqi, but no one answered. When I was in a hurry, I saw Wu Xinru walking over, holding a pass and a suit and said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Ren and Mr. Zhang Go in, let me tell you, change your clothes before you go in, here is your pass."

I said gratefully, "That's really thoughtful, thank you!"

Then, with a suit in hand, he went through the security check, passed through a compound that was almost 200 meters away, and arrived at the main hall of the venue.

At this time, there was no one outside, only some staff members were left. After checking my pass, I was let in. After entering, I found a toilet, changed my clothes, passed the sign, and walked into the main venue.

It was dark inside, like watching a movie, and a person on the stage pointed a laser pointer at the big screen and was explaining his PPT.

I randomly found a seat behind and wanted to sit down, but as soon as my butt touched the seat, a staff member came over and said in a low voice, "Leader, we are seated according to the signs. May I ask your name? I will bring you to the seat." past!"

I had no choice but to show the pass to the staff. The staff looked at it for a long time, confirmed it again and asked, "Are you Fade Chen? Mr. Chen?"

I said with a oh: "Is it? Is there any problem?"

The staff hurriedly laughed and said, "No, no! It's just that your seat is in the first row. Now that everyone is seated, come here like this..."

I hastily waved my hand and said, "No need, no need, I'll just sit in the back! Go and do your work!"

The staff hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not very good, right? You sit here first, and I will ask our leader!"

I frowned and said, "Don't ask, it's not the same wherever you sit!"

The staff didn't know if they listened to me, so they walked away.

I began to look at the PPT on the stage. A middle-aged man was talking about the carbon emissions of car exhaust. It is not difficult to see that with the continuous increase of private cars, the emissions have also continued to increase, resulting in Environmental degradation.

Then I put forward several feasible plans. I didn’t understand the others. I only understood one, which is to classify the exhaust emissions of all vehicles. Any vehicle that does not reach a certain level will be scrapped at different times. eliminated.

I wondered if this plan was too bold and too radical. We can't eliminate so many vehicles all at once, right?This is unrealistic ah?

I was just about to study the other proposals he proposed, when the staff member walked up to me with a middle-aged man, shook my hand politely and said, "Mr. Chen, sit in front!"

I hesitated and said, "Forget it, don't disturb other people!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Let's go! It's not good to have such an empty seat in front!"

I nodded helplessly, and followed him to the front position. Fortunately, this position is not in the middle, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Despite this, a few people stood up, and I felt that everyone in the audience was looking at me, and even the people on the podium stopped and looked at me.

Yaoyang, who was sitting next to me, saw me sit down, and said in a low voice: "You dare to do this kind of meeting sooner or later, aren't you a bit arrogant?"

I glared at him and stared at the podium as if nothing had happened.

After seeing that no one was watching me, I turned to the other people in the first row, looking for Wei Hua, Yaoyang whispered: "Don't look for him, he didn't come!"

I cut it and said, "I'm late, it's better than he didn't come!"

Yaoyang sighed and said: "He won't participate in this kind of meeting, the highlight is the later part, so he will probably show up!"

The second person came to the stage and expressed his own opinion. He raised objections to the suggestion of grading the exhaust emissions of car companies. I took a look at the meeting itinerary that Yaoyang handed over. This is the Second Automobile Manufacturing A deputy chief engineer of the group, I think the reason why she opposed the idea is because the current period is the most prosperous period of their group company, once they are really divided in this way, it will have a huge impact on their car sales.

In fact, regardless of whether this regulation can be implemented, as long as it is raised at this conference, it is doomed that their car sales will definitely decline, and it has become an unchangeable reality!

The words of the third person who went up were even more intense. He unreservedly criticized the person who made this suggestion, thinking that it was all whimsical and unrealistic ideas.

I heard the opinions of several people one after another, and they all raised objections to this opinion. I checked the list, and they are all representatives of car companies. This is not difficult to understand. It is the top car companies who maintain the status The best choice ever.

I'm curious, why didn't someone who can speak out for this proposal come up and say a few words?
I continued to listen with this question, and it was still the same, until the last leader of the Ministry of Industry, Minister Zheng, walked up and concluded: "This meeting, we are also looking for a way to make our automobile industry, To develop in the direction of health is a difficult problem, and it is also a sub-question that requires self-sacrifice! This road is difficult, but we need to go on, and go forward bravely, without hesitation.

There will be a historic reform in the auto industry in the future. This is a historical inevitability and no one can shake it. Whether you are willing or not, your interests are not comparable to the survival and health of the Chinese people!Of course, now is a market economy, and no one can order you to make any decisions that violate the market, but I want to tell you in advance that the state will strictly control the emission of vehicle exhaust. "

There was an uproar in the audience, and many people began to whisper in low voices.

Minister Zheng went on to say: "Today we invite all domestic auto companies. There are no foreign-funded companies, at least not wholly-owned ones. This is to give you a chance to look ahead, tell you the future trend of the auto industry, and give you some advice. Wake up, I hope everyone here, after this conference, will think about it when they go back, how should they go in the future? The right way to go!"

I finally understand why my neighbor Brother Lin said that this kind of meeting has to be kept secret. Even most people in Changchun don’t know about this meeting. This is sending a huge message to domestic auto companies. The industry will be fully upgraded and reformed, and it is imperative. Once this signal is released, it will have a fatal blow and impact on domestic auto companies. Although there will be no changes in the short term, as long as you do not reform, Will be swallowed by the tide of the times.

After Minister Zheng finished speaking, the host announced the end of the meeting, and people began to walk out, but the people in the first and second rows didn't move. I sat on the side and planned to go out with Yaoyang first.

The two of us were stopped by Ren Xiaoqi: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, don't leave yet. That's it. The meeting has a second agenda, which is the top ten domestic manufacturers. A second meeting will be held and you will be notified later. Where is it?"

I said casually: "Then you just go! The two of us are not from car companies!"

Ren Xiaoqi said very sincerely: "Before I left, my dad said, no matter what, let one of you two accompany me..."

Yaoyang looked at him, then at me and said: "You are too polite, just say it, your father asked A Fei to attend the meeting for him, how could he have anything to do with me? Then I will go back first Home, waiting for you!"

I curiously asked Yaoyang: "Which house do you live in?"

Yaoyang said with a smile: "I live at my uncle's house!"

I groaned and said, "Old uncle, do you know him well?"

Yaoyang waved his hand and said: "I'm not familiar, who can I not be familiar with? They are all relatives of my family! Don't worry about it, just go to the meeting!"

Yaoyang left, Ren Xiaoqi and I sat there foolishly, waiting for the news.

After a while, the host came back and said to us: "Everyone, distinguished guests, please move to our small meeting. Everyone, please enter the meeting room and give the communication tools on your body to our staff, and return them to you after the meeting." !"

It was strange to say that no one raised any objection. Everyone was very obedient and lined up one by one. Then they gave their mobile phones to the staff and walked to the small conference room.

Ren Xiaoqi and I were at the end. When we walked into the conference room, I saw Wei Hua and a middle-aged man sitting opposite the round table, and they saw me too.
