Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1861 Additional Charges

Hao Youqian explained in embarrassment: "You can't say that. Except for this temple matter, I really can't make the decision. I can still make the decision on other things!"

Lu Ping snorted and said, "Then the fees for your scenic spot and the regulations of the temple are all set by Mr. Zhong?"

Hao Youqian thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, his old man must have agreed. Otherwise, how could we dare to charge privately?"

I didn’t want to talk nonsense anymore, so I directly picked up the phone and dialed Mr. Zhong’s number. Then I heard Mr. Zhong’s weak voice on the phone saying: “Why did you remember to call me? What’s going on? It’s a good thing. Is it still a bad thing? Don’t tell me about bad things, I’m not in good health!”

I made a sound and said: "It's not a good thing, it's not a bad thing, I just want to ask you something!"

When Hao Youqian saw that I had actually picked up Mr. Zhong's call, he looked very panicked and said, "I don't think I'll bother the chairman. Let's handle this little matter privately!"

I hesitated for a moment, but finally said it out: "You have a hotel in Kunming, Yunnan. Isn't this a big deal?"

Mr. Zhong didn't understand what I meant and asked: "What hotel? Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

I explained: "I just come to travel by chance. I saw your photo hanging on the wall, so I called and asked!"

Mr. Zhong said with some displeasure: "I'm not dead yet? Why is the photo hanging on the wall?"

I hastily added: "It's not black and white! Do you have any impression of the photo taken with the eldest lady and your partner?"

Mr. Zhong let out a sigh and said, "I think about it, this hotel has been built for many years, and the boss girl is in charge of it! It was built entirely by us, so why do we have more partners?"

I looked at Hao Youqian in front of me, and he hurriedly avoided my eyes. I knew what he meant, and I didn't expose him. Instead, I said to Mr. Zhong: "I just want to stay in your hotel for two days, but I don't know how to do it." no?"

Mr. Zhong said somewhat reproachfully: "You are looking for trouble, right? You can stay as long as you want! You don't want to pay, right? You have so much money, why are you so stingy? You don't need to pay, just stay! I Make a phone call and talk to the boss!"

I smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong!"

Thinking of saying a few polite words, he hung up the phone. Originally, this was a trivial matter and he shouldn't have bothered him by calling him, but he suddenly asked: "Xiao Du's matter? Is it over?"

I didn't expect him to ask these questions, so I just answered casually: "Really? It has nothing to do with me. The rest are the affairs of the people's agencies and units, and I have no right to interfere!"

Mr. Zhong exclaimed, "As long as you are all fine!"

I asked in confusion: "Why do you suddenly care about these things?"

Mr. Zhong said naturally: "How can I not care about you when you are making such a big move? They are all my good children. I can't worry about anyone!"

When he said this, I remembered and said, "Then do you know that Miss Er and Huaxin bought three core technologies of ADSL company?"

Mr. Zhong instinctively replied: "How could I know? How could they tell me what they were doing? I am old and have only a few days to live. Who would put me down in their eyes?"

But this answer made me suspicious. How could he not know about such a big thing?

I tentatively said again: "Because of this, I may have to go to court! I heard that ASDL is going to sue me!"

Mr. Zhong looked a little surprised and said: "Why are you still involved? Didn't they buy the technology? Why are they suing you?"

I explained: "Ah, I sold it to them!"

Mr. Zhong pretended to be surprised and said: "What? Did you sell it to them? Did you buy ASDL's technology and then sell it to the second brother?"

I hummed and said, "That's more or less what it means! Now ASDL Company thinks that they are selling it cheaply, and they say that I deliberately lowered the price to let the Second Lady and others make money, and colluded with them to defraud ASDL Company of their money!"

Mr. Zhong snorted and said, "Then have you done this?"

I hurriedly denied: "How could we do this? I still don't know what the use of those three technologies is? Why did the second lady spend 2000 million to buy it, but like this, ASDL company still thinks that I am selling it cheaply?" Now he plans to sue me!"

Mr. Zhong sighed and said: "You are just too young. Such professional skills can be so easy to trade. This is the transaction with the smallest fixed number and the largest variables among all transactions. Don't say that you are not a professional technician. Well, even if you are a professional technician, this kind of nuclear control technology is not something that ordinary people can master, and its various applications may be reversed at any time!"

I listened to Mr. Zhong’s teachings and didn’t pay much attention at first. I just watched Haoyou do it. The longer we chatted, the more sweat became on his head. The tea cup in front of me was already full and full, and he continued to drink. Pour it for me, regardless of whether I drink it or not!

I couldn't just chat with Mr. Zhong on the phone, so I took the initiative and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I guess it's not a big deal. They just want to blackmail me a little more. They think their things are sold cheaply, but this After the deal is completed, who can regret it? It's not my fault, they have already read the contract!"

Mr. Zhong was still very worried and said: "If it doesn't work, I'll tell Er Yatou and return the technology to them!"

I hurriedly said: "That's really not necessary. Even if I return it to them, they won't want it. It's really not a matter of not paying it back, but they may deliberately set a trap for me and let me fall into it!"

Mr. Zhong was suddenly silent for a moment, and then he slowly said, "Then don't think about it being so complicated. Why do people deliberately frame you? Do you have any grudge against them?" I quickly said, "Not only do you not have any grudge, , and thank you! If it weren’t for me, Huaxin wouldn’t be able to buy these three technologies! Huaxin also has to thank me. If I hadn’t repeatedly confirmed that this technology was useful to them, they wouldn’t have sold it to them. I sold it to them, and they made money! Isn't this a good thing for everyone? I don't know how, but I sold their technology at a low price! I guess I was crazy about money, it's okay , Don’t worry, I’ve already left this matter to someone else!”

Mr. Zhong still asked with great concern: "Who did you leave it to? Can he do it?"

This was a bit too much, but I still didn't notice anything. I just said gratefully: "Okay, don't worry, I won't disturb your rest. Please pay more attention to your health. I will visit you when I have the opportunity!"

Mr. Zhong hummed and said, "If anything happens, remember to tell me. I can help you!"

After hanging up the phone, Hao Youqian asked hurriedly: "What did Mr. Zhong say?"

Before I could answer him, his cell phone rang. He looked at the phone, stood up, looked very serious, and ran out of the room to make a call.

I recalled the conversation I had just had with Mr. Zhong, and suddenly said to Lu Ping: "Something's wrong! Something's wrong with Mr. Zhong! How did he know it was nuclear control technology? Didn't he say he didn't know anything about it?"

Lu Ping looked at me puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about? What did you and Mr. Zhong say?"

I whispered to Lu Ping seriously: "Mr. Zhong should know from the beginning to the end that I was sued by ASDL. I just called him and he was pretending to be confused. For such a big matter, for them Zhong Family is also a big deal, and it can’t be decided without a meeting. Mr. Zhong still doesn’t know about it, do you believe it?”

Lu Ping curled her lips and said: "Why don't you believe this!? The transaction amount is only 2000 million! Besides, Hua Xin and the second lady have already separated from the Zhong family. Naturally, they will not tell Mr. Zhong about their affairs. , He doesn’t know, what’s so strange? Don’t be suspicious, why do you start to suspect everyone?”

I shook my head and said: "No, there is definitely a problem! Even if Huaxin and the others didn't tell Mr. Zhong, how could he not know about such a big movement and not receive any news! You don't really think that Mr. Zhong is now Are you deaf to what’s going on outside the window?”

Lu Ping smiled and said: "Of course I don't think so. He is indeed very shrewd! Judging from how he handles the internal affairs of the Zhong family, we know that he is a cunning and cunning person, and he handles them properly! Moreover, their Zhong family He also showed unusual decisiveness in his decision to invest in the Siberian Economic Development Zone. Anyone else would have been tempted! I guess this is all the old man’s fault, right?"

I hummed and said: "That's right! How could such a shrewd person know nothing about such a big matter? He is pretending to be confused with me! Maybe the conspiracy here is related to The Zhong family has nothing to do with it!"

Lu Ping frowned and said: "Why do you suspect everyone? Why do the Zhong family want to harm you? Just because you are nosy with dogs and mice? It is also for the good of their Zhong family. Isn't it good for their Zhong family to be like this now? You didn't do anything wrong? They have no reason to harm you! Although the eldest lady and the second lady don't like you, aren't the third lady and Abao who are in power now? They don't want to harm you too, right? "

I shook my head and said, "You are confused. Everything we are talking about is based on the fact that Mr. Zhong is not in power. But what if Mr. Zhong is always in power? What if his retreat to the second line is an illusion?"

Lu Ping found it even more unbelievable and said: "Are you being too conspiratorial? Why do they do this? There must be some kind of interest relationship, right? They hurt you, which does them no good, and you don't do them any harm either. ! Why are you suddenly unable to distinguish between friends and enemies around you!"

I sighed and said, "Maybe I've been bitten by snakes too many times! I don't want to believe this is true, but Mr. Zhong felt something was wrong today, or maybe I was overthinking it, but it's impossible for him not to know about this." !”

At this time, Hao Youqian finished answering the phone and walked in respectfully. He bared his teeth and smiled at the two of us: "Two distinguished guests, why didn't you tell me earlier that you are distinguished guests of the Zhong family? I just felt so sorry I've neglected you two, and I deserve to die! Well, if you can forgive me, I'll be the host tonight, and we'll try the vegetarian dishes of Shuixianju together. Then I'll see if I can invite Master Kong over. !”

Lu Ping said with some surprise: "Does that mean we go to the temple to eat? Or eat with the great monks in the temple? Can we have such an honor?"

Hao Youqian said very proudly: "Yes, yes, let's go at night!"

I groaned and said, "It won't be too much trouble, right?"

Hao Youqian waved his hands hurriedly and said: "How could it be? No trouble, no trouble, it's not a matter of my words!"

I looked at Lu Ping, who didn't say anything and looked at me again, as if she was asking me to make a decision.

I was quite interested in this living Buddha and holy monk, so I nodded and said, "Okay! Then let's have dinner with the great monk... no... holy monk in the evening!"

Hao Youqian finally breathed a sigh of relief and saw that we were no longer angry, so he said: "Then let me arrange for the two of you to stay first? On the top floor of Building 1, right?"

I asked curiously: "Can you tell me the truth? What is the internal price of a room in Building 1 here?"

Hao Youqian replied mysteriously: "We don't have much money, and we don't need money for real insiders! If you meet a wealthy person or something, the price will naturally fluctuate a little more. If you meet ordinary people, the market price is less than 1000 yuan, which is too expensive." Now, people from the Market Supervision Bureau will come and cause trouble!"

Lu Ping snorted and said: "No wonder you don't dare to rent it to me for a year. If you rent it to me at the price you gave me, I can go to the Market Supervision Bureau to sue you at any time. Will your place have to close down?" ah?"

Hao Youqian said with some guilt: "They are all people below who don't know how to do things! They are also subject to performance appraisal. If you can earn more, you can earn more. If you two are more inclusive, there is no need to argue with them!"

I said in a calm manner: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, it's all about survival!"

Lu Ping said with some dissatisfaction: "In order to survive, you can't look so ugly? You charged more than 100 yuan for the entrance fee at the gate. You didn't see any scenery inside. It's just such a majestic temple, but it's not We are not allowed to enter. You said that if you charge more tickets, I think you are right. You directly refused us entry. We have to stay here. How can there be such a scenic spot? If this is exposed to you Now, can you still keep doing it?"

I then added: "You are embarrassing Mr. Zhong! He is also among the first batch of entrepreneurs to invest in our mainland after the reform and opening up. If his reputation is ruined by you, how big are you? What a sin!”

When Hao Youqian heard this, he broke into a cold sweat and said with great gratitude: "Thank you both for not saying this to Mr. Zhong!"
