Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 439 Dreams
Liu Sheng put his arms around my shoulders and said, "Brother, do you really like to play, or are you here to join in the fun?"

I asked puzzledly: "Third brother, what do you mean, just say it!"

Liu Sheng said: "If you really love to play, I will introduce you to Liu Ziran's game. Once you pass it, your heart beats and you enjoy it. If you just want to watch the excitement, then I will ask you for a spot tomorrow. Come here." Take a look. However, my brother advises you, betting on this thing is enough, you are a capable person, don't be harmed by this word of gambling. "

I nodded and said, "Third brother, you don't know me yet, you just came to join in the fun."

Liu Sheng nodded and said, "That's okay. If that's the case, I'll send a car to pick you up tomorrow."

I asked curiously, "What kind of bet is it?"

Liu Sheng said mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes!"

The gambling game is not as mysterious as imagined, because this matter is quite big, and basically everyone in this circle knows the news.As a result, it is hard to find a "ticket", and many people want to go to see the excitement.

I don't know who passed it on, but Liu Ziran, Liu Sheng and I have a good relationship, yet someone called me to see the excitement.

The first person to call me was Cao Xifa from Wanshi Entrepreneurship, the younger brother of Cao Xicai from the waterproof company, and Cao Xifa who had worked as a sales director for me.

I received his call and said politely, "Brother Fa, why did you remember to call me?"

Cao Xifa said more politely: "Mr. Chen, I know you are in BJ, why don't you hurry up and call you to greet you?"

I smiled and said, "Greetings to me? Isn't this offending me? Brother Fa, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Cao Xifa said embarrassedly: "I know you are a big shot once I have been in contact with you. No, there is an underground event in Forty-Nine City in front of you. Anyone who has a head and a face wants to participate. But you also know that I am capable. I can't get along with others at all, and after inquiring and inquiring, I realized that you are the core figure in this circle, so I just want to ask you to help me, so that I can see it too."

I hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes, there is such a thing, but I don't think it counts. You also know that I am not usually in BJ. This time, I just happened to have something to do, so I just joined in the fun. I know people. A few, let me ask for you, wait for my call."

Cao Xifa said gratefully: "Thank you so much, I will remember this love whether it works or not."

I hurriedly said: "Last time, it was so late, and I still begged you to help me go to the airport to rescue people. I haven't thanked you yet, so I'm offended by saying this."

In fact, it was just a matter of a phone call. I called Liu Sheng and talked about it. Liu Sheng didn't care at all and said: "It's easy to go in. I guess you can only watch it from the outside. Wait for the news. People who can go in and watch it. There are very few."

I smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, then I will talk to him."

I hung up the phone and told Cao Xifa, but he was so happy that he couldn't speak for a long time.I hurriedly said: "Brother Fa, you can only watch from the outside, and you have to rely on yourself for the things inside."

Cao Xifa said happily: "Mr. Chen, my dear Mr. Chen, this is enough. Do you know how many people have tried their best to participate? There is no chance at all. Thank you very much!"

I smiled and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, don't mind too much."

Cao Xifa still said gratefully: "It's easy for you, but it's different for me. Oh, by the way, Mr. Chen has something to tell you, maybe you will be interested."

I asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Cao Xifa said: "Didn't Wanshi Entrepreneurship collapse? Now it has been acquired by a listed company and specializes in making a waterproof material. This material is a national patent product. It is not only low in cost, but also easy to use. The most important thing is that it can save construction costs. Cost. At that time, I thought, this material has the same effect as the three-dimensional and colorful materials we promoted before, so I can consider making money from him!"

I thought for a while and said: "It is difficult for us to get people's patented products. If we don't do it first-hand, we will definitely not make a lot of money. Besides, it depends on the market reaction, their promotion efforts, and whether the market recognizes this material. , you also know that when we promoted the lottery, it was difficult and the risk was great, if we didn't withdraw in time, we would also be caught in it."

Cao Xifa hummed and said, "That's the reason, I'm sure I can't do it, but you are a capable person, you can find a way. In addition, I heard that because it was acquired by a listed company, that listed company was originally engaged in building materials. Yes, just ask the following companies to do it, there is no need to promote it at all. If more people use it, the market will recognize it. I think this is a business opportunity, so you might as well think about it.”

I suddenly thought of it, and asked, "Is this listed company Zhongjing Building Materials?"

Cao Xifa hesitated and said: "It seems to be, I don't remember very well, anyway, my brother used to deal with them a lot, and my brother knows about this. If you have time, I can ask my brother to meet with you and have a good talk. "

I hummed and said: "Okay, after we finish this grand event, I will ask your brother to talk."

After I hung up the phone, Liu Sheng's car arrived. When Liu Sheng didn't come, his driver came to pick me up. He was very polite to me and seemed very restrained.

I got into the car, handed the driver a cigarette, and said politely, "What's your name, Master?"

The driver took the cigarette flattered, and I lit it for him. The driver nodded politely on my hand and said, "My surname is Tan."

I smiled and asked, "Master Tan, please excuse me."

Master Tan said politely: "No trouble, it should be, it is an honor for common people like us to pick up a big man like you."

I said in astonishment: "What kind of big shot am I? Have you misunderstood me?"

Master Tan said with a smile: "You are too modest, I am sure I have not misunderstood. If Mr. Liu wants to pick up someone, he usually will not ask me to pick him up. He also specifically told me to pick up the person on time. Originally, As drivers, we shouldn't have said so much to you, seeing that you are different from those big shots, and you don't have any pretensions, so I just said a few more words, don't mind it!"

I smiled and said, "Why? I'm just an ordinary citizen, let's chat casually. Listen to the accent, are you not a local?"

Master Tan smiled and said: "Well, I am from Benxi, Liaoning. I have been in BJ for more than ten years. I used to learn to sing. I wanted to be an artist, a singer, or a singer at worst. He is quite famous, and he has released two albums! Have you heard of "Loving Someone Is a Cigarette" and "Smoke Is a Bitter Medicine"? I wrote them both."

I really haven't heard it, but I still said: "Ah, how come it is sung, I often listened to it in KTV at that time."

Master Tan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, these two songs of mine are found in some old KTVs."

I praised: "Then you are really a singer? Then why did you stop singing and got on the wrong car?"

Master Tan said with emotion: "If you don't come to BJ City, you don't know. There are singers everywhere. What if I released two songs? They have a few albums, and everyone who has been to the Spring Festival Gala is full of pens and pens. How many times have you tried?" A record company, after listening to my demo, I think the song is not bad, but I am a little old, no matter how it is packaged, it is difficult to have a market. Doesn’t it mean that the facial features must be correct, but at least it must have characteristics, like me, standing on the street No matter how you dress up, no one will look at it. The song is not that outstanding, and it is really impossible to enter the market."

I shook my head and said: "How do you say this thing, how many singers I see, they are just ordinary people, and their singing is not as good as mine, just wrap it up, what kind of literary singers, voices of ordinary people, butter niches and so on, that's it. .As long as there is a gimmick, people will package it again. It doesn’t matter if you sing well or not. The streets and alleys just play it repeatedly. After a long time, I thought this song was something, but if you listen to it too much, you will sing it. That’s it. thing."

Master Tan said with emotion: "Yes, but they have a backstage and are rich. We can't do it. We are not too young. We can't bring the family with us. We can't be hungry for my dream. I just want to go Singing in the bar to maintain food and clothing, but at my age, I can't sing pop songs. If I sing, it's folk style. Who listens? I can only find a job and see if there is a chance. That's why I found Mr. Liu here , Mr. Liu is very kind to me, and usually asks me to do things within my power, run errands, and earn a good income, so I will stop dreaming now and concentrate on driving, which is very good."

I thought for a while and said, "Having a dream is a sacred thing. You should persevere. At least now that the economic conditions are better, you should try again. Don't waste your talent!"

Master Tan shook his head and said: "I know my own business. At this age, it is difficult to have another chance. It's not that I want to give up my dream, but I have to give up. Real life defeated my dream and made me feel at ease. Real life, that's fine."

I sighed and said: "Some people have dreams that are out of reach, but they persist. Even if they fail, they work hard and never leave regrets in their lives. Some people have no dreams all their lives, and they are all for Life is so busy that they are so overwhelmed that they have no time to think about their dreams. Some people are gifted and talented, but they don't know what dreams are. They are drunk every day, lying on the gold mine and sleeping.

I think, if you have a dream, find a way to realize it and defend it. Those who have achieved nothing will tell you that you will never succeed. They think that you have a chance to realize your dream, but they don't even have a dream.Don't give up, don't try, you will never know how good you are! "

Master Tan looked at me, thinking about what I just said, a little excited, wanted to say something, but never said it.

I smiled and said: "Try again, tell your family that your dreams are more important than anything else, they will understand you, if there is anything I can do for you, please call me." I gave him my business card.
