Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 567 Eastern Thoughts

The reporter refused to let Dong Zong go so easily, and continued to ask: "Then, Dong Zong, you have a good career and family? I heard that your son has been studying in France, and his grades have always been among the top." So-and-so, you won the prize this time, didn't he come back to celebrate with you?"

President Dong's face changed, and he looked in my direction, and I nodded to her firmly.

Then she smiled knowingly and replied: "Gouzi's academic performance is not bad, I don't really want him to appear in the public eye, he and I are ordinary people, we have our own lives, we are nothing Public figures, I hope that friends from the media will not pay too much attention, but focus on our Wanzhong products!"

As soon as the answer was finished, the reporter immediately asked: "Can you tell me about the father of the child? I heard that you raised him alone. Single-parent families are not very good for the child's growth, right?"

This question was obviously asked aggressively. The question just now had something to do with this awards ceremony, but this question seemed to be really digging privacy.

Dong Zong's assistant stepped forward and said solemnly: "Everyone, please ask questions related to this award. As for Dong Zong's private life, Dong Zong will not answer you!"

President Dong stopped the assistant's words and said, "I don't know. What is your mentality for asking this question? Why are you so interested in my family? However, I can answer your question and satisfy your curiosity. My husband and I divorced many years ago. We are still friends. My ex-husband often visits our son now. We are co-parenting. As for what you said, single-parent families are not good for children’s development. I don’t quite agree. The quality of education has a lot to do with the harmony of the family, but it’s not all. Good education depends on people, not on the number of people. Good education is to let children become a person they want to be. Be a man, do what he is supposed to do."

Dong Zong wanted to continue answering questions from other reporters. I looked at her assistant and made a stop gesture. The assistant immediately understood, whispered a few words in Dong Zong's ear, and then said into the microphone: "Today's That's all for the interview, there are other winners later, leave time for others."

Dong Zong smiled and walked in, and the next winner came to the stage.

I met Mr. Dong in the corridor of the side hall. Mr. Dong saw that I didn't say much and told me to follow her.

Dong Zong and I entered a dressing room, and the assistant was waiting outside.

As soon as Mr. Dong came in, he asked me anxiously, "Is everything done?"

I nodded and said, "The girl agrees to a settlement. She is fine, except for a slight concussion, but both of them have a history of drug abuse. They are probably some soft drugs. I am worried, so I put them both together." Sent to the drug rehabilitation center, locked up for 10 days, let them also learn a lesson."

President Dong nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work, does anyone still know about this?"

I shook my head and said, "Except for your assistant, the doctor and the police, no one asked you anything when you went to the hospital? Did anyone recognize you?"

Mr. Dong thought for a while and said: "There should be no more. The hospitalization procedures are handled by the assistant, and my name is not used."

I hummed and said, "That's good, no one knows that Xiaohao is your son, as long as he doesn't say it himself!" After I finished speaking, I got scared and said, "I forced him to go to a drug rehabilitation center, and he won't let himself go. Let's talk outside?"

Dong Zong sighed and said: "Do you think I am a failure? I have educated such an uneasy son. He should not talk nonsense. In fact, he still doesn't know what kind of person I am in China. , just thought I was just an ordinary business owner."

I smiled and said, "You are just an ordinary business owner, just an award-winning business owner."

Mr. Dong's expression finally relaxed a lot, and he also smiled and said: "Now that I think about it, it's just a false name. It's better to be an unknown entrepreneur. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. There are too many people. I’m not worried about it, what I’m worried about is the brand that affects many people.”

I shook my head and said: "There are advantages and disadvantages, and they all complement each other. With you, a well-known entrepreneur, there will be thousands of people today. You are also a banner, a mobile advertisement, and a guarantee of reputation." , Everyone is famous in the enterprise, and we are famous in the entrepreneurs, which is also very good.”

Mr. Dong shook his head helplessly and said: "If you want to be a century-old store, you have to be a famous brand instead of me being popular. This is not conducive to the growth of the company. I want to fade out of the public's sight as soon as possible, but you can do it again. Be famous, a company must have one or two corporate stars, and next year I will strive for you to accept the award!"

Although my vanity is a bit high-minded, I still know how much I have, so I hurriedly said: "How can I compare with you? I'd better do my behind-the-scenes work honestly. I understand, besides, compared to the general managers of other companies, I am already famous enough!"

President Dong looked at his watch and said, "In an hour, it will be the reception. Then I will introduce you to a few people. Let's change your clothes. Why does this dress look so awkward to me?"

I complained: "I thought I would have the opportunity to go up to present awards and speak, but this happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to change my clothes. This clothes are really awkward to wear, like a big Israeli wolf!"

I was going back to the hotel to change clothes. When I walked out of the gate, the crowd had almost dispersed. A few of them said they wanted to experience the nightlife of Shanghai, so they went to the bar to play.

I was going to hail a taxi back to the hotel by myself, but as soon as I opened the door, someone pulled me back, closed the door, and let the car go away first.

I turned around and was about to swear, when I saw that it was Dongfang Miracle, I was taken aback and asked, "There are also people in Zhongjing who won the award?"

Dongfang Miracle nodded and said, "Don't you know? Our President Hu is also an award winner!"

I oh and said, "Really? I didn't notice, I'm late, so congratulations!"

Dongfang Miracle said: "Let's stop standing on the road and chatting like ordinary people! Find a place to sit down, I have something to talk to you!"

I looked at my watch, hesitated and said, "I don't have much time, I have to go to the reception and go back to the hotel to change clothes."

Dongfang Miracle hummed and said, "I have to go too, just sit for a while."

We found a nearby coffee shop and sat down. Dongfang Miracle said straight to the point: "Let me just say it directly. You understand the current situation in Zhongjing. Gu Cheng has looked for you, right?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, did he tell you?"

Dongfang Miracle did not answer my question, but said: "The current situation is that Gu Cheng and I are not on the same side. Although we are in different positions, his position is above mine. I am also the only one in Sun Shengguo's faction." A senior executive who stayed. They also see me as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, but because of my status in Zhongjing and my shares, it is unlikely that they want to clear me away immediately."

I asked curiously, "What do you want to tell me?"

Dongfang Miracle said sincerely: "I want to cash out the shares in Zhongjing and leave Zhongjing!"

I groaned and said, "What does that have to do with me? Why are you telling me this?"

Dongfang Miracle replied: "First, I want to ask you if you are interested in taking over my shares. Second, I want to buy shares from your Wanzhong. If possible, I want to join your Wanzhong, and I want to be your overseas market."

I looked at Dongfang Miracle and didn't express my opinion. I calculated in my heart that he should have a lot of shares in Zhongjing, otherwise the big change in Zhongjing wouldn't have no effect on him.But it's hard to say whether this share is good or bad. In addition, he wants to join us. How do I know if he is an undercover agent sent by him?
Dongfang Miracle saw my worry and said: "I know, what are you thinking? I want to enter your crowd, because I am interested in your overseas market. This is indeed full of temptation for every investment. I am not only Entering all of you, I still want to invest in all of you, I will never make fun of my own money, right? I definitely won’t do things like throwing stones at my own feet. This can be regarded as my security deposit.”

I shook my head and said: "I believe in your professional ethics. I was wondering whether Mr. Dong would agree. I have no say in this matter. Overseas markets are all handled by Mr. Dong himself. I seldom participate in them. Therefore, It's useless for you to tell me, but I can pass it on to you. In addition, I have no interest in your Zhongjing shares. I don't have that much money. Even if I had, I would not invest in your Zhongjing, at least not now. What's more, even if I want to invest, you Zhongjing may not be willing to give it to me. You don't mean that you can transfer the shares of Zhongjing to whoever you want, right? "

Dongfang Miracle listened to my words and felt that there was something interesting, so he said: "President Dong, I will talk to her personally, as long as you agree now. Zhongjing hurts my heart, and it is imperative for me to leave Zhongjing. Hu Junsheng asked Come to Gucheng, don’t even ask me, I can be regarded as the veteran of Zhongjing, I have no objection to the internal rectification, but even I investigate together, or openly investigate, but I don’t save any face, I am completely giving up At the same time, I am also optimistic about you Wanzhong. I think that once Wanzhong's overseas market is developed, it will be just around the corner to become one of the world's top 100 companies.

I know that all of you are recruiting, but I have this confidence. I am at least better than Shen Yang and others. He can be your general manager. Why can't I have a manager from the overseas business department?Besides, based on my relationship with you, I don't think it's a difficult task, right? "

I smiled and said: "The relationship between me and you is not as close as you said, right? We are just acquaintances, but your brother and I are real friends and classmates. I have no doubts about your ability. It's not that I can doubt it at my level, and I'm not a person who is jealous of talents. If you are more capable than me, I can definitely let you go, but I have suffered such losses before, and no one can shake my position. As for you The candidate for the overseas business department, Mr. Dong has mentioned to me several times that my next focus of work is the overseas market. Even if you come to our Wanzhong, you may still work under my hands. You can bear it, be willing Down? That's not your character!"

Dongfang Miraculously said with a gloomy expression: "People, if you make a wrong move, you will make a wrong move. My starting point is higher than yours, so I will go downhill. However, my victory lies in my willingness to turn around. There is nothing wrong with starting from a low level, anyway. I want to invest in all of you as a part-time job for myself. I don’t think it’s a problem.”

I hummed and said: "A man can bend and stretch, but I still don't trust you very much. Let's talk about it after I discuss it with President Dong first." After speaking, I looked at my watch, which meant that the time was almost up.

Dongfang Miracle pointed to my watch and said: "Patek Philippe? It's a commemorative edition, and you say you have no money? You can't buy this watch if you have money, so you know you are an invisible rich man! Back then, in the casino game, let You made half a billion, right? In the past few years, your restaurant, plus Wanzhong's dividends, you still say that you are not rich!"

I smiled and said, "My brother lent me this watch to show off. I'm not really a rich person, but I'm just a bit capricious in spending money. I really don't have time, and I don't want to be late again." That's it. Then let's do this first, and I will write to you after I finish discussing with President Dong!"

Dongfang Miraculous nodded.

I stood up, straightened my clothes, and then I heard someone behind me yell at me directly: "It's this grandson who made me feel ashamed. He just slipped away as soon as the show was over. We met here!"

I turned my head and saw the man who had just taken my seat and was driven away by me.A few men in suits behind him were looking at me.

I ignored them, nodded to Dongfang Miracle, and walked out of the coffee shop.

That man, how could he just let me go, followed me, grabbed me and scolded: "What the hell are you pretending to be a grandson? Why don't you know me?"

I pushed his hand away and asked, "Should I know you?"

The man, and his companions, laughed and said: "Don't be cowardly, you were quite arrogant just now! I just asked you to give up your seat and gave you back the money! As for you, you don't know what to do. Shameless, why regret it now, don't go, let's talk about it!"

I said impatiently: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. I still have something to do. I'm acting like someone else's seat, and I'm still confident. If I have the ability, I can find a seat by myself. If I want to pick up girls, I don't have to spend money. I pretend to be here with me." What half garlic, why not stay cool, grandpa, I don’t have time to accompany you here to talk nonsense!”

When the man heard this, he lost face in front of his friends, and immediately yelled at me: "I think you're out of luck, see if I won't kill you today!" !
