Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 244
I asked with an oh: "Brother Zeng, where are you? I'm in Hunan."

Brother Zeng asked in surprise, "You didn't come to find me on purpose, did you?"

I was left speechless by the question, yes, I didn't come to find him on purpose, but by the way.

I thought for a while and said, "Brother Zeng, I'm here to look for you, and I have other things to do, but I don't have to do other things. I have to do things with you."

Brother Zeng hummed and told me the address.

The place Brother Zeng told me was a small western-style building in the countryside surrounded by vegetable fields. It was just such a lonely small white building. When the taxi got to the edge of the vegetable field, I couldn’t get in. I had to go in by myself.

The magnificence of this Western-style building is completely incompatible with the vegetable field next to it. It is a completely different world.

There is a bell on the gate, I pressed a few times, and the gate opened automatically.I walked in and the door closed automatically again.

The path paved with Yuhua stone leads directly to the gate of the western-style building. The gate is wide open. Brother Zeng is standing at the gate, holding a teapot in his left hand and a cattail fan in his right. He looks like an old man working watch.

Seeing me coming, I walked in without saying a word, and I followed.

In the lobby of the western-style building, there is a huge chandelier hanging, a spiral white staircase with gold-rimmed handrails, and no one can be seen in the whole building except Brother Zeng.

It looked very empty.I followed Brother Zeng to the study upstairs. There was a mat under the study. It seemed that Brother Zeng was still sleeping on the floor.

After letting me sit down, he said to me: "Do you still care about that person? For him, you are willing to do anything? Is he so important to you? The A Fei in my impression, although impulsive, never would lose their minds."

I knew that Brother Zeng was talking about Yaoyang, so I replied: "As long as they are my relatives, I will do everything for them, including you."

Brother Zeng nodded and said: "I know this. I remember when we first met, you said that we are not the same kind of people. At that time, I was very confident. I think we are the same kind of people. I think that one day we will Gonna be best friends bro, you didn't really consider me a friend until something happened to me, I'm happy, but when I come out, I thought we'd be closer, but time is friendship , the greatest enemy of love. I found that between us, we have returned to the way we were when we first met. I have changed, or you have changed. "

I said frankly: "Brother Zeng, we haven't changed. The world is changing. I am constantly adapting to this society. You should also adapt to this society. The brother Zeng I know is confident, proud, and unwilling to bow his head. , Brother Zeng who refuses to admit defeat is not the brother Zeng who can only avoid reality and avoid problems when he encounters problems.

Brother Zeng, you know that I am breaking the law, but you still indulge me, do you want me to become like you?Can we be the same kind of people again?Do you want to change me too? "

Brother Zeng bowed his head and said nothing, I knew I was right.Continue to say: "Brother Zeng, there are many ways to get along with friends. You don't have to be sincere, but you can also get along happily. It doesn't have to be a brother who thinks of you. Friends can share happiness and the joy of success together. , you can talk about everything, you can open your heart without reservation, it’s not mutual use, mutual need.”

Brother Zeng said slowly: "I blame you, I don't remember the time when I got out of prison, I waited for the moment of our reunion with joy, I imagined the scene of our meeting again countless times in prison, but I waited What is it? Nothing! I can’t blame you, you have a lot of things, you are busy. But when you brought me into your world, I found that I was out of place in your world, I was very lost, I know we The distance between them is getting farther and farther.

When I saw you in Yiwu when you were down and out, I was actually happy in my heart. When I knew that was not your real life, I admitted that I was a little bit lost. I was thinking for a while, how wonderful it would be if you were really like that. , I was selfish in my heart, and I kept blaming myself, so I chose to leave.I am not worthy to be your good brother. "

I sighed and said, "Brother Zeng, I don't blame you, and you don't blame me either. It's not that I don't take you seriously, but I have too many things to take care of. Friends don't always have to be by your side. Yes, just show up when needed."

We talked all night. We drank a lot of wine and had no food. We just drank like this and got very drunk.

When we woke up in the morning, the two of us were laughing like we never had any divides.

Brother Zeng said to me: "This house is too scary. I didn't know why I bought such a house at the time. The older I get, the more afraid I am of being deserted."

I curled my lips and said, "I thought you were some kind of elegant scholar who liked rural life, but now you're out of your way. Go do some errands with me. After that, you can go back to Zhuhai and help me build a restaurant. I'll go to Changchun to study. When I come back, you have a lot of things to do!"

Brother Zeng was very satisfied with my arrangement and said, "I'm interested in your restaurant, but does your partner have any objections?"

I smiled and said: "He, he has gone abroad. Besides, I don't have any opinions on what he can have. After you get to know each other, you will know that he is similar to you. He is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is straight. You just took over two more restaurants, and you still have to manage them."

Brother Zeng hummed and said, "Okay, no problem, what are you doing here?"

I replied: "The Hunan branch over there is now an independent branch. I want to buy some shares. It is definitely best if I can hold a shareholding. If I can't control it, I also want to take a shareholding to pave the way for our company in the future."

Brother Zeng frowned and said: "This is difficult. I heard about it some time ago. Your boss Huang raised money everywhere, and finally adopted the method of employees collecting shares. Many people have shares. It is quite complicated now. It’s a piece of fat, and now many people are staring at it.”

I felt worried and said: "I only have two days, and then I have to go to school to report, what should I do?"

Brother Zeng said with a smile: "Please, I will find a way to help you!"

I said angrily, "I'm sorry, but I can beg you. By the way, don't pay for it yourself. This is the company's business."

Brother Zeng nodded and said, "Am I that stupid?"

I thought for a while and said, "Then don't use those two people, it's too scary."

Brother Zeng scolded, "What are you thinking? I came to them because I saw that you were in a hurry that day. I am now a law-abiding citizen."

I didn't go to Mr. Huang first, but I found Xiao Wan and Tang Jie.

Tang Jie was still polite when he saw me: "Mr. Chen, why are you here? You didn't notify me in advance, I will pick you up!"

Xiao Wan was very kind to me when he saw me: "A Fei, why do you think of us people from remote mountainous areas? I thought you had forgotten us."

First, I politely said to Tang Jie: "I also came up temporarily, and I have something to talk to you about."

Then he said to Xiaowan: "It's getting more and more beautiful, it seems that the Xiangjiang River nourishes people!"

Knowing my character, Tang Jie must have come here for something, so he asked directly: "If there is anything I can help, just say it."

I didn't hide it, so I said bluntly: "I want to take a stake in your company. The best result is to be able to control the company, and the worst result is to sign a strategic cooperation with you."

After Tang Jie heard it, his face was a bit ugly, but he didn't say anything. Xiao Wan said very directly: "It's okay for us to say, it's Mr. Huang's place. I don't think you may have a chance!"

I asked, "Why?"

Tang Jie said: "Boss Huang spent a lot of thought and thought on setting up this company. He didn't have enough funds. He mortgaged his current wife's store, and he almost lost his entire fortune to raise half of the money, and then the whole company worked together. This company was won by raising funds. I think Mr. Huang will definitely not sell it now, no matter how much money he pays."

I didn't say anything, Brother Zeng said later: "Everything has a price, it depends on whether it's worth it or not?"

Xiaowan said: "You haven't heard of it. I am willing to buy it with money. Mr. Huang doesn't care about money, and neither do we. Although we don't have much money, what we care about is feelings. The feelings for this factory are just like you. It’s not the same as having an endless affection for this factory.”

I don't want to dwell on these boring questions and say: "Wanzhong Electrician is Mr. Wang's painstaking effort for many years. It's different. It's sold. The situation is pressing. Sometimes, you have to make the best choice for yourself instead of Sentimental."

Tang Jie said: "If you don't persist to the end, no one will know the result!"

When I found Mr. Huang, he was drinking in his current wife's karaoke bar, and he was already slightly drunk.

He looked at me sleepily for a long time before he recognized me. He seemed very excited, and asked the waiter to serve more wine, and wanted to have a few more drinks with me.

Mr. Huang asked me: "Are you already an executive of the group now? You are young and promising, and the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that you were a child at that time, and it was only a few years ago that you suddenly became a well-known domestic leader. corporate executives."

I smiled and said, "What kind of executive? He's just a part-time worker. Mr. Huang is very leisurely now, drinking so much alcohol in broad daylight?"

Mr. Huang said with a half-smile, "It's the first day you met me?"

I wanted to change the subject and asked, "Where's Xiao Hai? Why didn't you see him?"

Mr. Huang showed a proud look and said: "He, he went to Xiangtan to collect the bill. Speaking of Xiaohai, I really have to thank you. Without you, Xiaohai is nothing now. Xiaohai always talks about you. Every now and then, Brother Chen said this, Brother Chen said that."

I said, "This is Xiaohai's own efforts. Is he used to it here? My company is also recruiting people. If he is interested, you can ask him to continue with me and talk to him sometime."

Mr. Huang chuckled and said, "I'm also short of people now. Come on, sit down and drink."
