Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 24

When the dishes came, Director Zhong suggested to have a drink first. I checked the drink, and it was a 52° boutique alcoholic. I don't know how much it costs, but I know it's not cheap.I don't really like to drink, but I can drink because of my father's fine lineage.After drinking for a while, Director Zhong said, "I'll call you A Fei. I heard that Mr. Huang also calls you that. Your Cantonese names are also very strange. You like to add the word A in front of me." I nodded happily: "It's a good applause. A character is a verbal particle, so it's more cordial to call it this way."

Director Zhong poured me a glass and said, "Let's drink one, I'll be your big brother, don't you mind!" After speaking, he went to work first.

Immediately after, I drank a glass of wine and said, "Brother Zhong, you are too polite. It is my blessing to recognize you as the eldest brother."

The atmosphere at the wine table was very pleasant, everyone came and went, and you didn't deliberately pour me wine.When the wine was almost finished, Brother Zhong said to me in a low voice, "Mr. Huang, I said hello there. If there is no problem, how about we sign the agreement early tomorrow morning?"

I thought to myself, I finally came, and when we got down to business, I said, "Brother Zhong, I read the agreement, there are no major problems, just add a few details, and that's fine. I also told President Huang, tomorrow we will Just add it."

Brother Zhong's face sank, but he didn't turn his face, and said, "Ah Fei, we have discussed this agreement before, so there is no need to change it, right?"

I still smiled and said: "Brother Zhong, even if I sign this agreement, it will be no use if it fails to pass at the head office, and it will be difficult for Mr. Huang to do it at that time, you listen to me, it's just a little detail, add it and you're done. already."

Brother Zhong had to nod helplessly, and then called Mao Mao over: "Mao Mao, you and Fei are about the same age, communicate more in the future!"

Maomao was obviously not very talkative, so he drank the wine directly, and I drank it too, and then Brother Zhong sighed and said, "Maomao, you see how capable you are, it's like this, Maomao's wife is Xiaguang's employees, who still want to go back to work in Xiaguang, don't ask me to come here, I'm a big brother, I beg you once, do me a favor and get his wife in."

I didn't make a statement. I know that once I do, there will be many more things like this.Seeing me nothing, Brother Zhong, who thought it was a trivial matter, was obviously unhappy this time and said, "A Fei, do I still have some face?"

I hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, look at what you said, it's a big deal, it's not that I don't agree, it's not my decision, I still don't know what kind of work my sister-in-law does, how can I agree?"

Brother Zhong immediately resumed his smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I can't say it, Maomao, what does your wife do?"

Maomao obviously didn't know either, so he shook his head and said, "I knew I used to be the workshop director."

Brother Zhong waved his hand and said, "In this way, let her find Ah Fei directly tomorrow, and ask Ah Fei to make arrangements!"

I was unhappy with the boss in my heart, but I didn't say much, so I reluctantly agreed and said, "Find me when I see it, how to arrange it!"

Afterwards, Section Chief Wang of the Electric Power Bureau also went straight to the point and said: "Considering your company's electricity consumption, we plan to add a substation near your company, and make a double circuit for your company's dedicated line. However, this cost, you have to out, a total of 40.”

As soon as I heard it, I put down the wine glass, and my face changed, and I said, "This agreement is written. The city is responsible for our power supply and guarantees our company's special line. We don't pay the cost!"

Section Chief Wang was so angry that he said with a smile, "The agreement is an agreement, but it doesn't say in the agreement to add a substation for you?"

I directly retorted: "It's impossible for the substation to be used only by our family, and it's useless if we want a substation."

Section Chief Wang took a sip of wine and said, "If the substation does not add power and only supplies power to you, the electricity in the surrounding area will be insufficient, and there may be a power outage at any time!"

I'm really angry, this is obviously extortion: "What do you mean, if we don't add substations, our company will lose power at any time, so why do we need a dedicated line? Besides, adding substations can apply for state subsidies, and we need to pay for it. ."

Section Chief Wang obviously did not expect that I would know this, so he tried his best to quibble: "The subsidy for the substation is given by the state, but you will naturally have to pay a certain fee for occupying the state's resources."

I ignored him, but looked at Brother Zhong and said, "This is what the city means? Does Mr. Huang know?"

Brother Zhong smiled meaningfully and said: "A Fei, there are some things that don't need to be explained so clearly, you just listen to the elder brother. The benefits are indispensable to you. Besides, it's all the money of the country. What are you worried about?"

I sat down without any mood, just drank the wine from the glass and said, "Everyone, I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I'll go first."

Brother Zhong didn't let him go at first. Seeing that I was very determined, he asked Mao Mao to send me off, but Mao Mao drank alcohol, and he drank a lot. Although there was no such thing as drunk driving at that time, it was indeed unsafe.

In the end, I couldn't screw them, so I had to get on the Mao Mao SUV. Before the TV series "Snail House" was broadcast, everyone was still very vague about SUVs, and they didn't know the saying that a man must have a Land Rover in his life.Therefore, I am still very unfamiliar with off-road vehicles and SUVs, but I feel that the car is very large and very wide.Mao Mao's driving skills are really nothing to say, all the way hurricane.When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Mao Mao said hesitantly, "Actually, you don't need to pay attention to them, you are just trying to scare people. You don't really have the skills. You always want to cheat money.

I looked at Mao Mao very strangely and asked, "Aren't they from the Municipal Economic and Trade Office? Aren't they from the Electricity Bureau?"

Mao Mao said: "Among them, I am the only one who is officially compiled. Brother Zhong has been laid off for two years, and the Economic and Trade Office has long been abolished by the city. Things in the factory are very complicated, you will gradually understand, I am not For you, I am for my wife, she told me to tell you, be careful yourself."

After Mao Mao left, I stood at the door for a long time, completely stunned, and my mind started to run fast.

Brother Zhong and his group are liars, so why did Mr. Huang ask me to contact them, to test me?Who is the agreement signed with, and with whom is it valid?What's wrong with this factory?How could such a large state-owned enterprise fail?
Although it was very late, I still called Mr. Huang with questions.Mr. Huang asked me: "Have you finished drinking? How is it?"

I said plainly: "The conditions they put forward cannot be signed at all. If this continues, the factory will not be able to produce at all."

Mr. Huang asked me again: "Then what do you think I should do?"
