Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 765

The two of us drank tea in silence, and no one spoke. After a while, I couldn't hold back and asked, "Shall I have some later?"

The squad leader hummed and said, "Okay! Let's drink something white!"

I pushed open the door and shouted to a waiter outside: "The food will be served in half an hour, and come in with a bottle of 'Shuijingfang'!"

Then he came in and closed the door, looked at the squad leader and asked, "Is 'Shuijingfang' okay?"

The squad leader smiled and said: "As long as I can drink such good wine at your place, I don't have any scruples!"

I groaned and said, "That doesn't sound right? If you like it, I'll just give you a few bottles. Don't worry, I'll charge you, but it's just the cost price. Our wholesale purchases are very cheap!"

The squad leader chuckled and said: "It's better to be exempted. Now that the investigation is strict, I can tell you that there is nothing wrong. If I come to drink with you, it is considered a violation of discipline!"

I cut it and said, "Is this a violation of discipline? Leaders can't have friends, brothers and sisters. After a meal, are you afraid that people will report it?"

The squad leader sighed and said, "If we had nothing to do with each other before, we would be fine, but now... it's really hard to say!"

I asked puzzledly: "What relationship can we have? You are not in charge of the economy. Besides, I have never walked through the back door with you. Haven't I violated the principle?"

The squad leader suddenly asked: "Didn't you annoy the security team today and come to me to complain about you, saying that you did not cooperate with their investigation, and your attitude was extremely bad, and your arrogance was extremely arrogant. Don't deny it. With your temper, I know you can do this, don't tell me no!"

I didn't deny it, nodded and said: "That's the case, but the safety team is a joke, why should they come to our company to investigate? What kind of major safety accident is this? You can't organize it. Right? Then we have to talk, talk!"

The squad leader nodded and said, "I took the lead in this matter, and I advocated it. Is there any problem?"

I said dissatisfiedly: "The problem is serious! You just say why you organized a safety team to investigate in our company? I understand the "Labor Law" and "Safety Production Regulations". I didn’t see any of them. It’s because we injured a worker, so we had to conduct a comprehensive investigation of our company? Do you know how much our production progress was delayed? The new equipment, just warmed up, was given to us Turn it off, how much electricity does it consume? Also, let our staff line up for investigation one by one during working hours, without doing anything? It's not a political review, nor is it arresting suspects. What are you doing? I think our private enterprises are easy to bully right?"

The more I talked, the angrier I became, the squad leader drank tea calmly, and after listening to my complaint, he said, "Then you never thought about it, why should I do this? With my relationship with you, you think I will harm you ?”

I froze for a moment, and immediately said, "That's definitely not the case! But, you have to give me a reason, right?"

The squad leader said with a smile: "How many people do you think belong to me in this security team?"

I thought for a while and replied: "Dean Zhang probably belongs to you, and the person from the regulatory department is an idiot, of course not. As for other people? The public security, law enforcement, and labor unions basically don't express their views. I don't think so." Come out! But if you don’t organize an investigation, it’s fine, why bother!?”

The squad leader shook his head and said, "You're wrong, on the contrary, the person from the supervision department belongs to me! The rest are normal arrangements!"

Now I really don't understand. I looked at the squad leader and said, "You are so boring! Are you deliberately embarrassing me?"

The squad leader still smiled and said: "It's just to embarrass you on purpose! Your company is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and a few bad news have knocked down your stock price. Don't you think of a way? Someone took advantage of this accident, You can't fight back, even if the person involved comes out to clarify, people will think that they were bribed by you, or threatened! In short, no one will believe what you say!"

I hummed and said, "That's the case, so you can't add fuel to the fire!"

The squad leader said inscrutablely: "I just want to add fuel to the fire! Only in this way will things go against each other!"

I thought for a while, and suddenly understood something, and said: "You deliberately made people embarrass us, just let the security team make mistakes and omissions, which is counterproductive. Once public opinion comes out, the public will think that this matter may not be what the media said. If we do that, we will become weak, and we will be sympathized with instead!"

The squad leader gave a thumbs up and said: "Smart, you can see through a little bit! This is the real way to make excuses!"

When the food was served, the squad leader stopped talking. I asked the waiter to go out first. I opened the wine myself, poured a glass for the squad leader, touched him, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much! This is a great move!"

The squad leader gulped it down and said: "The matter has come to this point, and the progress is going smoothly, but don't go too far, do what they ask you to do, the more serious the consequences, the better, so that you can show your grievances You drove them away at once. If they get angry and really don’t want to go, you really can’t explain it. The public suspects that there is something wrong with your system, and you still refuse to investigate. I’m so haunted! Let them investigate, the harsher the conditions, the better, and try to satisfy them, until you really can’t stand it anymore, and then explode all at once. Even if I finish talking to you today, they will come back tomorrow Go, and you have to be humble, I have taught you a lesson, you must be obedient, right?"

I smiled and said: "It makes sense! I understand! But I still have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

The squad leader smiled and said, "Ask!"

I hesitated and said: "Why do you help me like this? It's not that our relationship is not in place, but you shouldn't play this card lightly? I still have a way to solve this matter. It's not a last resort. You should help me like this!"

The squad leader pointed at me and said, "You! I'm not helping you, I'm helping our private enterprises, protecting our city's leading enterprises, guaranteeing tens of thousands of job opportunities in our city! I'm guaranteeing our city's financial revenue! We will protect you as always!"

I snorted and asked, "We? Are you referring to who?"

The squad leader said in a secretive manner: "This is not what you should know! You just need to know that someone is protecting your company!"

I smiled and said: "Finally, we entrepreneurs who are engaged in industry can feel a little bit of warmth!"

The squad leader curled his lips and said, "You're talking nonsense. In these years, the city and the province have given you the green light and policies, right? Just helping you solve the household registration problem is setting a precedent for you, right? You said which factory building you are building, the city government does not give you the most favorable policy, are your circuits all independent transformers, double-circuit high-voltage wires. Water and power cuts, when will it be your turn? Even your employees In the dormitory, the power has never been cut off since the factory was built, right? And environmental protection, you also know that your factory is located in the city center, and the three wastes must exceed the standard. Is it true that we only ask you to rectify it every time, and when will you be punished? Passed you? The truck in front of your door, when did the traffic police seize your car? The trucks in the whole city are not allowed to enter the city after 9 o’clock. Only your transport truck has always been unimpeded. To continue, it’s really There are too many books! You can just be satisfied, any company you change has such preferential policies!"

I am speechless, I am very clear about these situations, if there is a little problem below, as long as it comes to me, I will find the city to help us solve it as soon as possible, and basically all my requirements can be met.If I'm not satisfied, I'll play tricks from time to time, threatening to move the headquarters away. Thinking about it, I'm really a bit too much!

So, he said with a smile: "Understood, I understand, thank the leaders for taking care of our company! From now on, we must actively cooperate with the work in the city, and do whatever it is called!"

The squad leader poured himself a glass, drank it all, and said: "However, you are also very competitive. The domestic top [-] companies have an average annual rate of return after listing in the top ten every year, and the tax payment is also unambiguous. Some donation activities are also available on call, asking for people to give, asking for money to give money! We also see this in our eyes, so we should support each other!"

I hummed and said: "I agree with none of what you said, and none of them passed through me. With my petty nature, if I knew about it, I might not agree with it!"

The squad leader said noncommittally: "Without your authorization, who would dare to do this? You can do it boldly, and we will support you in everything! We only have one condition!"

I asked curiously: "Look, take advantage of others' shorthands, and eat others' short mouths! What are the conditions?"

The squad leader said firmly: "Your company can be named Dong or Chen, but you are never allowed to be named foreign. I don't care what difficulties you have, and you will never allow a trace of foreign blood. This is a matter of principle!"

I patted my chest and said, "Don't worry about that! I'm more patriotic than you!"

The meal was very pleasant, and the wine was also very refreshing, because the knot in my heart was untied.

Before leaving, the squad leader said to me earnestly: "There is one more thing, I have to remind you!"

I stood at attention and almost saluted and said, "Sir, please give instructions!"

The squad leader patted me and said seriously: "You must pay attention to the focus of your development and the direction of future development. It's not that you are not allowed to develop other industries, but you must not take the preferential policies given to you by the state and issue them to your industrial economy. You come to resell real estate, or other speculative businesses. Capital operations are allowed, but the main business cannot be relaxed!"

I suddenly thought of the land in Dongguan, and hurriedly explained: "My original intention was to build a branch factory there, but there is agricultural land. After the land use is changed, it can only be used for commercial purposes, and I am not allowed to build a factory. , I have no other choice, so I thought of doing some shops, schools, etc., which can be regarded as doing a little bit for our Guangdong Province, adding bricks and tiles, it’s all sideline business, it’s all sideline business, don’t worry, don’t worry!”

The squad leader smiled and said: "I'm relieved, but some people may be worried. You have to be mentally prepared. They may send you a senior party official to guide you in your work!"

I was not happy now, and said, "Send me an instructor? A layman leads an expert. Doesn't this just increase internal friction invisibly? Do you want to gradually seize power?"

The squad leader sighed and said: "How is it possible? You don't know how many shares you hold in your hand? Guiding work is just to supervise you. As long as he doesn't go out of the circle, he is just a display. But don't offend him. Just keep him!"

I sighed and said: "There is an extra master for no reason, who would be happy to let it go? When will you come down?"

The squad leader didn't answer me, but said: "You have to be careful about the security team, don't overdo it! That's all I want to say, the wine is really good, I'll drink this next time, I'm leaving, today we The less people know about the meeting, the better, I will find you if I need anything in the future!"

I made an OK gesture and said: "It's okay, I won't even look for you, it's okay to drink, right?"

The monitor hummed and said, "Student reunion is definitely possible, you can think about it yourself!"

In the early morning of the next day, the security team came back swearing, feeling as if they had obtained Shangfang’s sword, and started a new round of investigation. Similarly, those who were named went to line up for investigation.

The old Mrs. Huang came to ask for my opinion, should I continue not to give them face, I shook my head and said: "Listen to their arrangement, we can't mess with their big mouths!"

Although the old Mrs. Huang was puzzled, she didn't understand my attitude today and why it was completely opposite to yesterday, but she couldn't ask too many questions, so she went out to make arrangements.

It was close to the off-duty time, and I was also passed on.

The momentum this time was even more arrogant than last time. When I entered, only the old Mrs. Huang and Yuan Zhiyuan were left.

Yuan Zhiyuan still looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He doesn't know what to ask. This is to resist and be strict!
Seeing me come in, Yuan Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked me: "Mr. Chen, I've been in ink for a day, and I really haven't done a lot of things. If this continues, production and sales will be really delayed. !"

I said with a sullen face: "The company won't be able to run for a day without you. If you tell someone else to do it, you have to fully cooperate with the investigation, you know?"

Yuan Zhiyuan looked at me puzzled, he really didn't understand the meaning of my words, and he didn't know if what I said was ironic, or if I really ordered him like this.He could only nod helplessly.

Seeing this scene, several members of the investigation team looked at me gloatingly, as if they all knew that they were taught a lesson yesterday, and today they are much more honest.

The supervisor faced me and said provocatively: "Mr. Chen, are you not busy today? Are you here with the call?"

I snorted, and just wanted to refute him, but when I thought of what the monitor said, I thought he was cute, so I nodded and said: "Not busy, not busy, no matter how busy you are, you should be investigated! If you have anything to ask me, Just leave me alone!"
