Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 390 Split
Mr. Dong found a financial magazine from the table and showed it to me. I was taken aback when I saw the big headline: Yingke’s second largest shareholder withdrew capital, Yingke fell into civil war, business prodigy Lin Jiasheng responded domineeringly, Yingke This is all mine!
Dong Zong asked me curiously: "Don't you know about this?"

I shook my head and said: "Some time ago, Lao Feng invited me to dinner, and Lin Jiasheng was there, and I didn't see that they seemed to be in harmony at the time. Later, I heard from Mr. Li that they were all my friends. I must persuade them Let the two of them go, but I really don't know how to persuade this kind of business conflict? I don't know that it will be so serious!"

Dong Zong nodded and said: "Friends should not do business together. If the trouble is not good, no friends should do it. There are two situations where friends can do business in partnership. One is when one party is strong and the other party is executive , just like the two of us, division of labor and cooperation, with a clear attitude. The other is, like your restaurant, where you contribute money and the other contributes, and you don’t care about anything. Like Lao Feng and Lin Jiasheng, something will happen sooner or later , who is Lao Feng, you and I both know, how can he be willing to be inferior to others. I think their conflicts must not last for a day or two, but there is always one party who keeps compromising, and then at a certain time, finally It exploded and became out of control."

I hummed and said, "Your analysis is correct, but it's already like this, and there is no way to remedy it. The collapse of Yingke will not benefit us at all. This matter is big or small!"

Dong Zong asked curiously: "Why do you say that, Yingke is our biggest competitor, isn't it best for us if they fall?"

I shook my head and said: "No, Yingke is like a threshold in front of us. If we want to pass our level, we must first win Yingke. Yingke actually helped us eliminate many competitors. Without Yingke, We don't know how many troublesome horses like Letian we have to deal with in a year. I have to help them both in public and private."

Dong Zong praised: "It is very good to see the problem more and more transparently. The contention of a hundred schools of thought shows that the industry is thriving. The result of one thriving will be replaced by another. An upright opponent is easier to deal with than a despicable and shameless villain. Many. From the current point of view, Lao Feng and Lin Jiasheng are not short of money, so what is certain is that their conflict is not caused by money. The focus of their problem is the issue of power."

I disagreed and said: "Old Feng has never thought of taking the power of Lin Jiasheng, and he also knows that he will definitely not be able to do it. In fact, it is just a trivial matter. Lin Jiasheng is too strong, and Lao Feng is also considered a Taking advantage of the topic, it is estimated that I vented my previous dissatisfaction all at once. I am afraid that if I go at this time, it will add fuel to the fire and have a counterproductive effect."

President Dong nodded and said, "That's what I said, but the longer they drag on, the more intensified the conflict will be, and it will be impossible to mediate."

I understand what Mr. Dong means. Sometimes the longer the misunderstanding drags on, the deeper it will become. The misunderstanding will not disappear with time, but will take root in my heart, and the more I hate it, the more I want to pull it out. It will hurt the muscles and bones.After thinking about it, I decided to go for it.

I met Lin Jiasheng at Yingke, and before I spoke, Lin Jiasheng said, "You came just in time, I'm short of money now, how much do you have, you can give it to me."

I froze for a moment, and then said: "I'm sure 8 digits are fine, how much do you want, I can go to the group to talk to President Dong, no, the selling point of the stock must be enough for you, right?"

Lin Jiasheng hummed and said, "Give me as much as you have."

Without even thinking about it, I said, "Okay, I'll help you in a while, what do you want so much money for?"

Lin Jiasheng didn't answer my question, but asked me: "Did you come to see me for something?"

I said hesitantly: "You and Lao Feng, you can't make such a mess, can you?"

Lin Jiasheng seemed to have a hard time, but he still didn't say it, he just said lightly: "It's okay, some unhappiness at work, and the personal relationship between the two of us will not affect, don't worry, that's all?"

I nodded and said: "Old Feng hasn't made much progress in the past few years, but his age is there, and the fact that he and his wife divorced before has hit him hard, but he still has abilities. Besides, these few years I have devoted all my heart and soul to Yingke for the past year, and I have never seen him put so much effort into anything. You two brothers have been fighting for so many years, and you haven't had enough trouble!"

Lin Jiasheng said solemnly: "I have told him more than once that you must think twice before doing things. I have given him many opportunities, but he just doesn't listen and insists on going his own way. I can't let him challenge me. Yingke’s status? At the monthly meeting, he openly opposed me. What can I do? It was a matter of a drink, but he turned around and resigned directly and sold stocks. This made me very passive. Call back his stock, you know, how much money do I have to lose if he does it?"

I persuaded: "You are already in your position, do you still care about money? Just earn back the lost money. My brother is gone. Where can you find it? I don't know your temper. You can get mad at a person, lose your temper and ignore it, I'm not wrong, you must not have given Lao Feng face, right? As a brother, there is no future in this life, how many friends like Lao Feng can you have in a lifetime.

Also, I haven't asked you yet?What happened to Mr. Feng Shui?Did you come here and let Lao Feng get into the trap?To be friends, do you want to play this kind of scheming?Do you have to rely on Mr. Feng Shui to make Lao Feng retire?Do you know that this will lead Lao Feng astray.Let him go back to the mountains and forests, you just talk to him directly, it's a mess, what if he can't think about it? "

Lin Jiasheng frowned and said: "I have no choice but to find Mr. Feng Shui. If this continues, Lao Feng will ruin the company sooner or later. I can't tell him directly to let him quit. This is the best way." , Let him retire, enjoy the rest of his life, earn the same money, and don't care about anything, isn't it great?"

I groaned and said, "Mr. Feng Shui is a man in the Jianghu, not an ordinary liar, but a scammer. If you get attached to this kind of person, do you think they can get things done after taking money? These people are not It's so annoying, it's easy to ask God to send God away!"

Lin Jiasheng seemed to have a hard time, but he still said firmly: "You don't care about my affairs, I have my own points."

I can't say anything more, so I went directly to Lao Feng.

Old Feng opened the door for me in a gray Taoist robe, and I scolded directly: "Damn, are you crazy? Are you really planning to become a monk?"

Lao Feng let me in and said: "It's not that exaggerated to be a monk, but you are a little disillusioned. In the world, what's the point of fighting? What can you get in the end if you compete for fame and profit? Don’t people live just to have fun? I have no worries, I have eaten, drank, and played enough in this life. It’s time to return to myself and think about how to live the rest of my life?”

I have no way to control Lao Feng's life, and I am speechless after a few words.I had no choice but to say: "You mean, you plan to retire? Don't do anything? Do you want to cultivate a Taoist temple again? It's the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. I'm coming to give you some sesame oil money and burn a few pillars of high incense. , and then listen to your chants, enlightenment, you are preparing to transform into a fairy, right?"

Lao Feng smiled and said: "You don't have to mock me, I really think this kind of life is quite suitable for me, I know you are here to persuade me to go back to Yingke and reconcile with Lao Lin. In fact, the relationship between the two of us is not As bad as you think, it’s all about work and has nothing to do with personal relationships. The place I live now was bought for me by Lao Lin, and I just feel that if I stay at Yingke any longer, I will end up ashamed.”

I snorted and said, "Since your relationship is not that bad, you still hurt Lao Lin. Do you know how much loss your shares will cause to Yingke? People outside bought your shares and how much they raised." Lao Lin has to bear the price. Yingke is also your painstaking effort, and this money should not be earned by outsiders. Why do two people sit down and negotiate it? Why make it known to the whole world? , You are not taking advantage of the outsiders by doing this."

Lao Feng smiled and said: "I was thinking of Lao Lin, so I released the stock privately, and I didn't communicate with Lao Lin. If I sold it to him at a low price, I would feel that I was losing money. If I sold it to him at a high price, Lao Lin would lose money again. It's best The only way is for the market to set the price, and besides, my share can't decide anything."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a copy of "Book of Changes" and read it with squinted eyes, as if he was an old monk in meditation.

I knew that I didn't want to talk to me anymore, so I said angrily: "Then I won't disturb Feng Daochang's Qingxiu."

Back at the company, I talked about the general situation with Dong Zong, and asked Dong Zong how much money he could transfer to me and borrow Lin Jiasheng?

Mr. Dong thought about it and said, "Why bother? Yingke, our company, and Lvshuiyuan's cooperation project, the first phase of the project will be put into operation immediately, and the dividend will be enough for him? If you think Before it's too late, discuss with Mr. Du that you can allocate funds to him from this joint company, just treat it as an advance payment, and I don't recommend you use personal funds unless it is absolutely necessary."

I was a little puzzled and asked, "Why don't you use your personal funds?"

Dong Zong explained: "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Even if you are the closest person around, once money is involved, there will be danger. With the company's money, you can chase it when the time comes. How do you chase after your personal money? It’s not that I don’t trust anyone, but I just think that since there are safer ways, why take risks?”

I nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dong, for your guidance. I have learned a lesson."

After discussing with Du Shiyang, Lin Jiasheng advanced the funds for the joint project of the three companies in advance, and successfully acquired all the shares that Lao Feng had thrown away.Now Yingke has indeed become a company owned by Lin Jiasheng alone, and the stock has risen sharply instead of falling. After all, Yingke's unstable factors are now wiped out.
