Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 890
The old man, who had been eating with his head depressed, raised his head at this moment, stared at me for a while, and suddenly said, "My little friend! You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of Lushui Garden?"

From the moment I came in, I secretly observed this old man, and kept wondering, who is he?But I can't think of it.

He replied casually: "Yes, to a certain extent, Lushuiyuan and I have always been in a cooperative relationship, and I plan to continue to expand cooperation with Lushuiyuan in the future."

The old man asked: "How do you plan to cooperate with Lvshuiyuan? Your real estate is not doing very well?"

I smiled lightly and said: "You mean, we Wanzhong are not qualified to cooperate with Lushuiyuan, right?"

The old man did not deny it, nodded and said: "Cooperation has always been based on the equality and mutual benefit of both parties, so it can be called cooperation! I can't even see what conditions you Wanzhong can come up with to cooperate with us. If it is said, it is you who did it. Small investment company, I don’t think it’s a cooperation at all! At best, it’s just a child’s house!”

I hummed and said: "You are right! But what if I plan to use Yaoyang Industry to cooperate with you?"

The old man froze for a moment, looked at me and asked, "What kind of company is Yaoyang Industry? Is it famous? Top ten in China? How many games can you make in a year?"

Du Shiyang was about to explain, but Mr. Ma said, "It's the real estate company that is working on the project in Dongguan Ancient Town. It has just been registered for less than half a year. Is this their first project?"

The old man said disdainfully: "It's not as good as the crowd!"

I said unhurriedly: "It's not as good as it is now, it's not as good as it is in the future! Don't bully the young and poor! If they are so tall and strong, what cooperation do they need? Yaoyang Industry is just starting now, but The starting point is not low, one project is an investment of tens of billions, and similar projects will continue to be developed across the country! The next ten years will be an era of rapid development of domestic tourism, and tourism will surely become an important part of the national economy. One of the territory, I am very optimistic about the culture and tourism industry. Yaoyang Industry also said that it will develop in this direction. Although Lushuiyuan has built houses for so many years, it is very weak in this aspect, so it is possible to cooperate with Yaoyang Industry. It was the right choice."

The old man sneered: "Little friend, you won't get the opportunity to cooperate with Lvshuiyuan just because of your big words and empty words! If you want to engage in cultural tourism, why bother to find you, isn't Weihua Group a ready-made partner! They have already They have been doing this for so many years, and they have hotels all over the country, in terms of vision and strength, they are much better than that Yaoyang Industrial!"

I looked at the old man again, and cast a questioning look at Du Shiyang.

Only then did Du Shiyang introduce: "This is my grandfather and one of the founders of our Lushuiyuan."

I let out a cry of admiration and said with admiration: "Jinguan, Mr. Jin, right? You are the originator of cultural tourism projects! When we built the ancient town project, we borrowed from the Changping Water Street ancient town project that you did in Xi'an at that time. I heard that you were the first group of Northeast men who broke through the Guandong at that time! I have heard Shi Yang tell your story a lot about your legendary story! At that time, did you serve as a soldier for Marshal Zhang? Later, Why did you study architecture? Are you a bricklayer or soldier?"

Jin Guan stared at his big eyes and scolded: "Little bastard, what kind of bricklayer soldiers are you? Repairing stoves to cook for others? Besides, who told you that I served as a soldier for Zhang Zuolin? What year was he? , can I follow him? I’m already in the coffin.”

I laughed out loud and said, "It's just a rumor! It's a rumor! Did Mr. Jin cross the Kanto? Was his ancestor a Manchu? Is he a branch of the Zhenghuang Banner or the Zhengbai Banner?"

Jin Guan frowned and said, "Why are you so talkative? What a mess! Get down to business!"

I said ah, and after a long time of sloppy eyes, I changed the subject and said, "Has the Weihua Group already approached your group?"

Jin Guan didn't answer, but Mr. Ma nodded and said, "I've looked for it, but I still don't trust them at the moment. The reputation is not small, but I haven't seen any real assets! The projects they do are all It’s earth-shattering, but not many have been made! Especially the Shanshui Huacheng project, it sounds unreliable!”

I nodded in agreement and said, "The hero sees the same thing! I think the same way, but no one believes it!"

Du Shiyang interjected: "It's not all what you said, Weihua Group still has strength, but the focus is not on China!"

Jin Guan hummed and said: "Yes, they still have a lot of merits! Their advantages cannot be ignored! I have read their proposal for the cultural tourism project, and it is comprehensive and perfect!"

I laughed and said: "Who can't write things in writing? You have to do it! Two days ago, I also received a plan to immigrate to the moon. I was looking for investment. After I read it, I felt something was wrong. No! That plan is perfectly written, don’t look at me like that, don’t you believe me? I told you to listen and you’ll know!”

The three of them looked at me at the same time, and I said with a smile: "Before we humans appeared on the earth, was the earth also an unknown? Then the environment of the earth must be the only place where humans can live? Humans adapt to the environment. , or whether the environment adapts to people, this is uncertain! That is to say, the environment on the moon changes every minute because of human habitation. Look at how the earth has been harmed by us humans now? Think again On the moon, clean and fresh air, zero-pollution water, endless plains, spring-like weather all year round, no traffic jams, isn’t it the best living environment?”

Du Shiyang asked suddenly: "Wait a minute, how come there is clean and fresh air and zero-pollution water? How did you hear that? Is there air on the moon? Is there water?"

Mr. Ma immediately asked: "Yes, there is still spring-like weather all year round? What I know is the temperature of the moon. The temperature during the day is about 330 degrees to 150 degrees, and the temperature at night is minus 170 degrees." , to minus [-] degrees. It’s hot to death during the day and freezing to death at night!”

I smiled and said: "I just said that after human beings live, the temperature will change. Just like our global temperature is gradually warming up? This is a truth! Let me explain Shiyang your question , At present, there is only air on the moon, most of which are ammonia or hydrogen, but you have heard that due to the environmental pollution of our humans, a big hole has been pierced in the atmosphere, which will gradually increase the air on the moon , Oxygen comes out. As for water? There are only solidified water and gaseous water on the moon, but isn’t this just water? Just change it a little!”

Du Shiyang continued to ask in puzzlement: "Even so, how much investment and time will it take to change this living environment to adapt to human living? Why do we have to spend so much manpower and material resources to achieve it? It's unrealistic dream?"

I smiled and explained: "Do you know why humans built Noah's Ark? Isn't it because they are afraid that the earth will be destroyed after a few years? In order to leave the last seeds of human beings, Noah's Ark was built, but after all It’s just a boat! You always want to take root on the ground, right? It can’t fly! And no one knows how many years humans can live on this boat! Why don’t we find a boat that is suitable for us while we still have time? In the place where you live, settle down some people first, and pass on the family there!"

After hearing this, Mr. Ma nodded and said, "It seems to make a little sense! But the moon is 384000 kilometers away from us, how long does it take to fly? Besides, the cost is quite a lot! How many people can be taken there at a time? Huh? Don’t you have to bring construction tools and equipment! Excavators, forklifts and so on, it seems that the rocket can’t hold much stuff!”

I smiled and said: "Mr. Ma is very professional, so it's not a problem. Think about it ten years ago, just ten years ago, if you dare to think, you can hold your mobile phone while sitting at home, and talk to people thousands of miles away. Do you want to make a video call with your loved ones? Go back 100 years, can you think about seeing cars everywhere? Go back 200 years, do we have to walk a lifetime to get to BJ!? It’s only 200 years, it’s just a flick of a finger! These Technical difficulties are not a problem! In today's world, as long as you dare to think, there is nothing you can't achieve, it's just a matter of time, I'm afraid you don't dare to think about it, you won't think about it!"

Mr. Jin coughed dryly and said, "Okay! Don't make up things for me here! At present, science shows that the most suitable planet for human habitation is Mars! You didn't even do this basic investigation, and here you are Tell me about the planetary immigration plan, what nonsense are you talking about here! You just want to prove that what you think of and what you can actually do are completely different things, right?"

I said with shame: "The old man is well-informed! You also understand this knowledge! Sure enough, you know astronomy and geography! What I mean is that the words may be better than the songs, but that is of no use! If you have really investigated and studied the Weihua Group, you will know that they are just a shell company relying on financial operations and playing with capital! Cooperating with such a company, there is only one result in the end, which is to be hollowed out by them!"

Jin Guan snorted and said: "It's over? Then let me ask you, what is Yaoyang Industrial? It is not as good as a shell company now! Isn't it just a project? It doesn't matter whether it makes money or not, even There are not a few reserve projects, have you enclosed the land? What about the funds? Why should you cooperate with us? Just rely on your mouth!"

I said sincerely: "Didn't I tell you everything before? Yaoyang Company is indeed just starting, but the starting point is very high, and the vision of the structure is also very far-sighted. The most important thing is that we should do things in a down-to-earth manner. The projects are all real, building blocks for socialism! Besides, based on my many years of cooperation experience with Shiyang, doesn’t this reflect my ability and character? I have given you many suggestions over the years, right? ? Isn’t this our advantage?”

I looked at the three of them again, and said solemnly: "I won't go around in circles. The main purpose of my visit today is not to persuade you to cooperate with me. This is our business in the future. What I want to say Yes, you can’t let Lushuiyuan continue like this, otherwise we will have no chance to cooperate in the future, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to see the bright future of Lushuiyuan soon!”

Mr. Ma said very angrily: "Scaremongering! What do you mean you can't see a better tomorrow! Lvshui Garden is now making money every day and flourishing day by day! Don't think that we will be scared by you with a few words of yours! What is your purpose?"

I smiled and said, "I'm alarmist? Do you know the current financial situation of Lvshuiyuan? How much do you know about your company's internal financial deficit? Do you know how many projects your company is currently making profits and losing money? How many projects are there? Do you know how many projects will become unfinished, and how many projects need to continue to inject capital to stop losses?"

Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "I don't need to understand this, I just need to see the annual financial statements! The year-end financial statements explain everything!"

I shook my head and said, "The numbers look good because they are made!"

Mr. Ma said disdainfully: "The annual dividends are not fake, right?"

I asked back: "Don't liars always let you make some money first, and then cheat you a lot of money?"

Mr. Ma dismissed Du and said, "At least I can see the money going into my pocket! It's very difficult for me to get the money out of my pocket!"

I smiled lightly and said, "Do you think you don't need to bear the debts that Lushuiyuan will have in the future? Your 20% shares evaporated in minutes and overnight! Do you need me to be more specific?"

Mr. Ma actually understands what I mean, but he just doesn't want to admit it in front of me as an outsider.

Jin Guan said, "Then what is your opinion?"

I thought for a while and said: "I don't dare to say that I have a good opinion, let me tell you my own opinion! I may have such a day, and I think the most effective control is to hand over the power to those who really plan for the future of the company. I thought I would be the most suitable candidate! But some people didn't think so, so I set up a multi-person board voting mechanism! I can't say whether this method is good or bad, but at least it can effectively control some people. A small number of people have ulterior motives, and one decision will bring the whole company into a desperate situation!"

Jin Guan asked: "You mean the decision-making power of the board of directors? Our company has already done this!"

I cut my throat and said, "The decision-making power of your company's board of directors is just empty! If I guessed correctly, Mr. Ma, they all abstained, right? The rest are Mr. Du, Mr. Shiyang, Mr. Jin, and a few others. You belong to Mr. Jin, right? If the weight of decision-making power is divided according to the number of shares, then there is no need for a vote at all. If it is divided according to the minority obeying the majority, then Mr. Jin must have won! This requires an independent decision A person, a person who is above your company, a person who does not participate in the interest relationship between you, but a person who is responsible for your company makes decisions!"
