Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1292 Abandoning the Project
Brother Pu answered, "Uncle Jun, that's what happened..." After that, he told me about my experience the day before yesterday.

After hearing this, Uncle Jun frowned, and instead of blaming me for touching the project, he asked, "Do you remember what the person who made things difficult for you look like?"

I honestly replied: "I have a big back, I am quite tall, and there are no other obvious features, and I have a big tongue when I talk!"

Uncle Jun said with a oh: "I see! Let me handle this matter! You sit down first! Eat, do you understand? Can you also pretend?"

I said with some embarrassment: "Cantonese cuisine is okay, but I'm not familiar with other dishes! Especially Northeast cuisine, they are almost the same!"

Uncle Jun smiled and said: "Then you really don't understand, Northeast cuisine can also be very particular! It's just that I was poor before, and I just ate what I had!"

Uncle Jun came out, and I asked Pu Ge unexpectedly, "Why isn't Uncle Jun angry?"

Pu Ge said with a smile: "Why is he angry? Because you want to bid for that project? What's there to be angry about? Uncle Jun has a good temper!"

I smiled and said, "That's not what I heard!"

Brother Pu sighed and said: "A few years ago, you also knew that the people in the Northeast were tough, especially in places like ours where there are many ethnic minorities. If you want to gain a foothold here, you have to be tough. There is no way. Thing, now that the conditions are good, who would not care about Fengya? Who is willing to lick the blood of the knife! It's all forced by the situation!"

I laughed and said, "That's what you say!"

Not long after, Uncle Jun walked in with a smile and said, "Let's go eat!"

Seeing a large table full of dishes, I asked curiously, "Is anyone else coming?"

Uncle Jun shook his head and said, "No more, just us!"

I said with emotion: "This is a bit of a waste! I can't finish it!"

Brother Pu smoothed things over and said: "You are lucky, Uncle Jun is rare to cook! I cooked a few more dishes for you today!"

Uncle Jun said with a smile: "When I was young, I went to many places. I just loved to eat. Not only did I love to eat, but I also loved to study. As long as I saw something delicious, I would learn it and work as an assistant for free. , just learned a lot of recipes like this, you have a taste of my craft, what can you say! Don't just praise it!"

I smiled and said, "I'm notorious for my poisonous tongue, don't worry!"

Looking at the dishes on the table, it really doesn't look like it's home-cooked. You can tell by looking at the dishes that this is the chef's craftsmanship.

I first picked up an authentic Northeast dish of pot-packed meat in front of me. It was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The shell is crispy, and there is still soup inside. The meat is tender, not old at all, and very tasty.

I hurriedly nodded and said: "This is really the best pot-packed meat I have ever eaten. It is moderately sweet and sour, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious. The most important thing is that the meat is tender and tasty! Authentic Northeast cuisine! "

Uncle Jun smiled and said: "Yes, I can eat it! But this dish is not the right Northeast dish, strictly speaking, it is Huaiyang dish. It was later brought to Harbin by Zheng Xingwen. At first, it was salty. Well, in order to cater to the foreign devils, it was changed to sweet and sour!"

I gave a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle Jun, you not only know how to make it, but also know the source, you are no less a glutton!"

Uncle Jun nodded in satisfaction and said, "I like this title!"

I tried the ground three delicacies again, the eggplant was soft in the mouth, the potato pieces were not raw and not old, the green peppers were crisp and not spicy, there was a clear fragrance, the thickening was not too much, and there was no drop of oil on the bottom of the plate. I know this dish is very oily. , but now I can't see a drop of oil, and the dishes are very tasty, which is a bit difficult, not greasy at all.

I praised again: "It's delicious! I'm really at a loss for words to be able to cook this level of mediocre dishes!"

Uncle Jun came with relish: "This dish is actually more difficult to cook than pot-packed meat. The size of the cut pieces is very particular, and the heat is difficult to control. The key to this dish is the amount of oil. If it is too little, it will not be cooked, and if it is too much, it will be too greasy."

Uncle Jun looked at Du Shiyang at the side, smiled and said, "Eat, what are you doing?"

Du Shiyang said embarrassingly: "It's so beautifully presented, I'm a bit reluctant to eat it!"

Uncle Jun laughed loudly and said: "I am a habit I have developed for many years. Originally, my family does not need to be so particular about eating. It is true that the presentation of the plate is beautiful, but it affects the appetite. You can eat whatever you want, and give me a few comments." !"

Du Shiyang hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare! I haven't eaten it before, how can I evaluate it! I think that if Northeast cuisine is made like you, it can also be served in the eight major cuisines!"

Uncle Jun hummed, and said with a little resentment: "I have always felt that this is very unfair. It is said that Northeast cuisine cannot be served on the table, and the presentation is not good. It is just those years. The most important thing is that it is affordable, and if you put it on the plate like me, it will definitely be full of color, fragrance and taste!"

I smiled and explained: "Actually, these eight major cuisines are not compared to any dishes at all, but to regions! The weather in the south is good, the supplies are abundant, and it doesn't rely on the coast, so there are fewer flower samples! In addition, people from the Northeast The habit of eating how delicious it is, as long as you are full, at least don’t care if it is nutritious or not! Look again, the name of Northeast cuisine is pig-killing dish, pork stewed vermicelli, while in the south, Buddha jumps over the wall, Farewell My Concubine , the names are all upscale! I think these eight major cuisines are meaningless, and I can’t evaluate the quality of the dishes!”

Uncle Jun smiled and said: "That's right! I can also cook southern cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hangzhou cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, I can, but some ingredients, this season, here are not fresh, and it is not suitable for our weather! "

After finishing speaking, he opened a bottle of Sky Blue without asking me if I drank or not, poured me a full glass, and said: "I usually eat at noon, I don't drink, I will drink with you today! One bottle per person !"

I groaned and looked at it. Brother Pu, who had already opened another bottle of wine, said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Jun, one bottle per person is too much!"

Uncle Jun said unhappily: "How much is too much, if I don't have diabetes, I would have to drink two catties!"

I haven’t eaten much food yet, but I’ve already drank more than half of the wine. The main reason is that I drank too much and didn’t give me a chance to talk. Said a few words in the ear.

Uncle Jun put down his wine glass and said, "Let him stand outside, we'll go there after we finish eating!"

Then he recovered his smiling face and said, "You really can't drink enough! Only half a bottle of wine is like drinking medicine!"

I waved my hand and said, "I don't drink well in the first place, but I drink white! The alcohol content is still so high, I drank too fast!"

Uncle Jun sighed and said: "You are not like when I was young. I was not afraid of anyone when I drank. I hate the most who said that I can't drink. If I don't drink him, I won't put down the glass. !"

I laughed and said, "Uncle Jun has a huge amount, I can't do it! My nickname is Erliang Chen, the most is Erliang, I have already exceeded my quota today!"

Brother Pu said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know how much you drink! Back then, we were blowing the whole bottle of XO at each other!"

I hurriedly explained: "You were young back then, besides, it wasn't just to entertain you at that time, today's occasion is different! It's not like making a fool of yourself in front of Uncle Jun!"

Uncle Jun smiled and said, "You have reservations about Uncle Jun!"

I hurriedly said: "No! I had a serious illness some time ago, and I didn't drink much after that!"

Uncle Jun grumbled and said, "I used too much medical alcohol, are you allergic to alcohol now?"

I laughed loudly and said, "Yes, bathe me with alcohol every day!"

After a while, the old man came in again and said a few words. This time Uncle Jun frowned, and then said to me: "Let's go out and have a look!"

Following Uncle Jun, we walked to the gate, and there was a man standing outside, shirtless, already shivering from the cold, the sky just had a snowfall, and his hair was covered in white snow.

Uncle Jun said with some displeasure: "Call him in!"

The old man hurriedly helped the man in and walked in, approached, I saw, isn't this the big backed head that day?
I followed Uncle Jun into the hall and walked beside Uncle Jun. Uncle Jun pointed at his back and reprimanded him: "How many times have I told you not to do things so dirty, but you just don't listen! As long as I'm not in the city, You are fooling around!"

The old man helped to explain: "Xiao Kang didn't even know that this guest was your friend!"

Uncle Jun snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to speak for him, you are used to it! If you are not my friend, can you do this? How many times have I told you, keep a low profile, we are not famous enough. ? You have to be on the blacklist of the Public Security Bureau before you stop? We are serious business people now, why are we still using old methods?"

Xiaokang kept his head down and didn't dare to speak. I was afraid that he would be really frozen, so I persuaded him: "Big brother, maybe he was just impatient for a while. It's all right. Let's talk about it. Why don't you put on your clothes first?" !?"

Xiaokang still didn't move, Uncle Jun heyed and said: "Put it on! I'm quite a big man, and I don't know what to do!"

After putting on his clothes, the old man brought Xiaokang a bowl of ginger soup, and Xiaokang drank it down.

Uncle Jun then turned to me and asked, "He didn't do anything else to you, did he?"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, no! In fact, I was also wrong. I should have found out in the morning. I know that Uncle Jun has spoken about this project. I will definitely not touch it again!"

Uncle Jun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't say that, what did I say? That's an angry word! Don't take it seriously!"

I took a sneak peek at Uncle Jun's expression, and I didn't know if he was telling the truth or not, but I still said, "Whether it's because of anger or not, since Uncle Jun is cooking for himself today and considers me a friend, then this I won't participate in the project!" Then he looked at Du Shiyang with some embarrassment.

Du Shiyang said as if nothing happened: "You have the right to say!"

Uncle Jun smiled gratifiedly and said: "With your words, I am satisfied! Let me tell you the truth, this project is not what you imagined! Did they say that I cut corners? Is the quality not enough?"

I hesitated and nodded.

Uncle Jun snorted coldly and said, "That's not the case at all! The leaders who were in charge of this project at that time were more greedy than anyone else. They forced me to take this project. I didn't know how to build any roads at that time. A lot of money, I invited engineers to come over, and also invited the construction team from the provincial capital to come over, but the result was seriously over budget for only 1 kilometer! The leader wanted to make money, so he forced me to use unqualified sand and gravel to leave the construction team in anger. We had to find someone to do it ourselves. We couldn’t stand this job, and we didn’t even ask for money! But this leader insisted that we ask for money, and he was responsible for the inspection. He just worked hard for 6 kilometers, and 1 kilometer was paid. , I don't have to, but I can't give up the 6 kilometers of money! They won't give it, just come and go like this, and no one gets any benefit in the end!

You said this road, can I let them continue to repair it?In a fit of anger, I sent a message, I don’t want to do it, and no one wants to do it. In the past few years, many construction teams who wanted to do this project have indeed been driven away!Now my anger has long since dissipated, thinking that I can't let this road continue like this, I plan to plan again, and I did it myself!But they still don't agree to pay us the previous payment, so it's stuck here!
Xiaokang has a quick temper and is too irritable. He thinks of using force when he does things. What age is this? I have told him several times, but he just doesn't listen!You can't do things like this!Sooner or later, they will be cleaned up! "

I hummed and said: "Uncle Jun, you are so right! Now it is not like before, whoever has a hard fist has the right to speak! I have seen too many people like this, and there are many people who dare to kill Yes! But the end result is the same! They either ran away or went to prison, and they were all shot! Like you, no matter whether the project is good or bad, at least if it is done, you should be paid! Act according to the contract! You If you can trust me, I'll help you read the contract and see if there is any way to get the money back for you!"

Uncle Jun patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I just need someone with knowledge in this area!"

Brother Pu drummed and said, "Uncle Jun, Ah Fei is a top student in the business school! There are no more than 1000 people in this business school in the whole country!"

When the contract was brought over, it was already yellowed. For such a large project, there were only a few pages in total, which shows how informal the procedures were at that time!

I read it carefully and said: "Uncle Jun, there is no clear regulation on this at all. Once the quality of the project is not up to standard, how much you will be fined. Even after the two parties have a contract dispute, the court that litigated the lawsuit did not stipulate. The court you are more familiar with will win! You don’t have to compete with them at all, and you don’t need to plan and do it again. You have to take the contract to the court, and you can receive the money in a dignified way! Do you have the receipt of acceptance at that time? ?”

After listening to Xiaokang, he looked up and said: "Yes, it's all in my place, and everyone in their project department signed it. I'll take it for you now!"

I waved my hand and said, "You don't need to take it, you keep it, it's all evidence for going to court! This lawsuit will definitely win!"
