Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 965 Meeting Approach
Mr. Ma’s assistant told me that when Mr. Ma invited me to attend the Asia-Pacific Conference, I thought he was joking. Even if he told me for sure later, I just thought he was asking me to watch by the TV and wait for him to attend. After the meeting, give me some inside information, like last time.Who knows, he was going to take me to the scene, which made me very nervous.

In the evening, we had a meal together. Although I have met Mr. Ma many times, this is the first time to have dinner with him. I heard that having a meal with Mr. Ma is not worth as much as Buffett, but it must be expensive Bar?

What's even more incredible is that Mr. Ma actually made this meal by himself. Bao'er and I were really flattered. I repeatedly asked me to cook, but Mr. Ma refused to say anything, and insisted that I try his handicrafts.

What he cooks are some home-cooked dishes. According to him, the taste is Hangzhou cuisine, but I think it is ordinary street stir-fry, and I can't tell where the cuisine is.

Mr. Ma also boasted: "When I used to rent a house, I only had an induction cooker. I was reluctant to eat out, and I didn't even want to buy lunch. In order to save money, I just went to the market to buy some cheapest seasonal vegetables. I really can’t eat vegetables anymore. At that time, we were not eating healthy food like now. We can eat meat, but who eats vegetables! We have no money, and we really can’t afford meat. Got to eat noodles for a week.

I had no choice but to figure out how to make it more delicious. The renters were all chefs at that time, and even with the simplest ingredients, they could make the most delicious dishes! "

I smiled and said, "That's because when people are hungry, everything is delicious, not what you cook is delicious!"

Bao'er also smiled and said: "Master, your mouth is really bad!"

Mr. Ma laughed loudly and said: "What he said is also reasonable! Now that he is a 5-star chef, I think the things he makes are just like that, and I won't have the desire to go there again!"

I was more concerned about tomorrow's affairs, so I asked, "Should tomorrow's security measures be very strict? Isn't the list of participants handed in for review early in the morning? Will there be any trouble if I add it temporarily?" ?”

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Why do you call it a temporary addition? I added it for you early in the morning! You have long been the deputy general manager of my company!"

I groaned and said, "Isn't it? When did I become the vice president of your company? To be honest, I don't even know what your company does. I just know that you are very rich!"

Mr. Ma took out a company introduction and said, "You can see for yourself!"

I cut it and said, "This is all a deceitful advertisement!"

Mr. Ma laughed and said, "I'm not lying! It's just a simple introduction! At present, our company's main business is online trade and offline delivery!"

I said disdainfully: "Don't talk about these useless, visible business, it is definitely not your profitable business!"

Mr. Ma asked with an oh: "Then what do you think my money-making business is?"

I thought for a while and said, "I guess it's some kind of financing, financial trade, etc.? Capital operation! It's the business of money making money! I know, there are dozens of investment companies, right?"

Mr. Ma hummed and said, "It's also a business you hate deeply, right?"

I hurriedly said: "No, no, I always choose to stay away from things that I don't understand, so as not to hate it deeply!"

Mr. Ma smiled and said: "You are quite self-aware! In fact, what we do is only some technical platform support and data analysis. Simply put, we conduct market analysis based on big data statistics and tell some investors what kind of products It is more in line with the laws of the market, what kind of market planning is suitable for the current enterprise development, make the best and most effective investment, and earn the greatest market return!"

I groaned and said, "I understand, it's just to teach others how to make money? You charge some handling fees!"

Mr. Ma laughed loudly and said, "You can say that!"

Bao'er let out a sigh and said, "How is it possible, just charge a little handling fee, and you can get rich in the world?"

Mr. Ma waved his hands and said: "Wealth is not the best in the world. To be honest, it's really not my turn to be rich. My money is all fake. It comes in quickly and comes out quickly. In this era, it is all about technology. Live to make money, but this is the period when technology makes money and it won't last long, we belong to the service industry, and no country will be dominated by the GPD of the service industry!"

I frowned and said, "According to what you say, doesn't your company think about how to transform? If this continues, the national policy will not favor you, and the future is unpredictable. No one can tell whether it is bright or dark! I always I feel that the country will rectify these unrealistic and bubble-filled industries sooner or later, because it is not conducive to the development of a country, and it is not my turn to develop countries like me to play fake games!"

Mr. Ma hummed, gave a thumbs up and said: "You didn't explain the truth clearly, but that's what you mean! That's why I asked you to come here. I have a lot of money that I can't spend. To be precise, it is I don’t know how to spend it? You come from an industrial background, and you’ve done a good job. You’re also young and aggressive, with vision and style, but you’re a little less ambitious. So, I’m more at ease spending money on your skills. !"

I groaned and said, "It's only now that I figured out why you have a soft spot for me? But have you misjudged someone? Even though you have money now, I don't know how to spend it? I originally thought that real estate would be a good business, but unfortunately, once the country’s three red lines came out, the bubble economy would be burst at any time, so I didn’t dare to use my fists at all! Manufacturing, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, it’s a pity, it’s not a decade or eight years, I have no chance to gain a foothold at all, and it’s too late! It may be swallowed up before it takes shape! During this period of time, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have not thought of any industry that is worth investing in. Now you are looking for I, I am also helpless, you just treat me like a fool!"

Mr. Ma looked at me like a loving father and a big brother next door, patted me on the shoulder and said, "You underestimate yourself! You may not even know your potential, so , I asked you to come to this conference to enhance your horizons and broaden your horizons, I hope you can find inspiration!"

I questioned: "Then why don't you look for it yourself? Your vision must be broad enough, right? Have you seen too little of the world? Why bother looking for me?"

Mr. Ma shook his head and said: "It is precisely because of this that I am looking for you! I have seen everything I can see, and this is the end of my vision. I have thought of everything I can think of. Therefore, the future world is still waiting for you!" It's up to you young people!"

Back at the hotel, why did Bao’er refuse to go back to her room to sleep, she must have a good chat with me, I yawned and said: "It's midnight, lonely men and widows, don't you think it's good to stay here? What's the matter with us?" ,let's talk tomorrow?"

Bao'er turned a deaf ear and said, "Master, you said Mr. Ma chose you, did he have any other intentions? How many billions of assets do you think his company has? How did you know him? Why did he choose you?" Will I find you out of thousands of choices?"

I said impatiently: "I have an exchange with him. I will accept his niece as an apprentice, and he will be my master."

Bao'er pondered for a long time before saying, "It's so complicated? Then why didn't he teach his niece directly?"

I cut it and said, "Didn't your uncle teach you? Didn't he entrust you to me! I was born to be a good teacher!"

Bao'er shook her head and said, "No, no! I think he must have other plans? He can't be interested in you, right? You know, these rich people have very strange ideas!"

I said dissatisfiedly: "The more you talk, the more outrageous it is, go to sleep! Tomorrow is busy all day, remember to get in touch with people more, maybe someone is an investor with a net worth of trillions! There is someone who likes you, You will be developed, and you don’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life!”

Bao'er said disdainfully: "How do you say that, marry a rich man, I am a rich man!"

Early the next morning, Mr. Ma's assistant knocked on my door. I opened the door. Mr. Ma looked into the room again and again. I frowned and asked, "What are you looking at? I'm alone. no one!"

Mr. Ma's assistant smiled and said, "I just took a look. Mr. Ma said that if you are alone, I will let you go to him directly. If there are still people in your room, I will arrange for the two of you to go directly to the venue!"

I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the difference?"

The assistant hummed and said: "Mr. Ma said, if you are alone, it means that your relationship is a master-student relationship, so you don't need to arrange her specially. If you live together, you have to re-arrange. Slack!"

I cut it and said: "It's quite thoughtful, but I don't know me very well. Rabbits don't even eat grass by the side of their nests, so I'm not so ignorant! Let's go!"

Mr. Ma was eating breakfast in his room, beckoned me to sit down, and asked me what to say?
I smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Ma replied casually: "You can get what you want?"

I yelled: "Then let's have a hot pot!"

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Is it such a strong taste?"

After a hasty breakfast, Assistant President Ma handed me a golden business card holder, I opened it and looked at it, and said, "The business cards are all printed for you, are you so thoughtful?"

Mr. Ma explained: "It has been printed a long time ago, but there is no chance for you!"

I read the name on it: "Deputy General Manager of Yunli Group. This name is not scary, is your company called this? Isn't it called..."

Mr. Ma waved his hand and said, "That's a company that needs reputation. It makes money from reputation. Yunli is our core. The public doesn't know much about it, but everyone in the industry knows about it!"

Outside the Nanjing International Conference Center Hotel, people and cars were piled up, and traffic control began 2 kilometers away.

We live in the conference center ourselves. We drove into the underground garage without going far. The security below is also very strict. All cars are allocated parking spaces. Everyone has to get out of the car for inspection and pass three checkpoints. Finally, you can enter the venue.

It is rare to see so many powerful people walking together, together with the entourage, it is like the end of a movie, it is very spectacular.

I, Mr. Ma, and his chief financial officer walked out of the crowd, looking very small. I curiously looked at the people around me to see if there were any big figures I knew well but could not see in reality.It's a pity that what I saw was surrounded by crowds. I only know that there is a big man inside, but I don't know who it is.

Mr. Ma said next to me: "Don't look for it, even if you saw it, you don't know it. It's the same sentence, famous people often don't have much strength! Either he is making money by fame, or there are people behind him. , neither of these two kinds of people can be a real boss. I can't help it, but if I do anything, I will retreat to the second line and never expose myself to the public eye! If I had known you two years earlier, today would be You take me to the conference!"

I chuckled and said, "Shoot the bird that stands out, I understand!"

When entering the second checkpoint, there were fewer people, and many entourages were stopped outside.

Those who can pass the second level are the real participants of this meeting.

After a full-body examination, they went in in the order of the list, and each person was given a tablet and a translation headset.

I turned on the tablet and saw that there were two interfaces in Chinese and English. Choose one of them. After entering the interface, there are meeting procedures, meeting time, meeting theme, and participants.

When entering the third pass, the screening will be more stringent. Everyone has to show their identity certificates, face the camera, and make a few facial expressions. It is probably a dynamic identity test, and all electronic communication equipment will be confiscated at the same time. .

Although I passed all the tests, I was stopped because we were not qualified, because the real bosses of these companies were the ones who finally entered the venue, and only one person could enter.

When Mr. Ma passed by me, he whispered to me: "On short notice, only one person can go in. We will come out later, and there will be a conference. You can participate then!"

I hummed and said, "I see, but what should I do now? Just wait here?"

Mr. Ma said casually: "The conference will not let you idle!"

Mr. Ma walked into the third checkpoint, and the rest of us were taken to another small conference room. Many people, like us, were still walking in the direction of these bosses.

In the small meeting, as usual, I sat in an unnoticed corner, feeling a little uneasy in my heart, always feeling that I didn't belong here, and I didn't have the right to sit here.

I never thought that someone would talk to me here, so I sat next to me and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here too? What is your identity?"

I was a little surprised, I turned my head and looked over, it was He Jie!
