Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 995 Talking About Knowledge
I wowed and said, "This is really generous, isn't it? It's a car, or a new type of environmentally friendly car. It seems that today's meeting is not in vain!"

Bai Shijia smiled faintly and said: "How can there be a free lunch in the world? Don't you look, is there anyone here who is the benchmark of the industry in one sentence? These people are not the experts on TV. Tell them Words are more important than Mount Tai, they care about their own reputation, which is more important than material enjoyment! Besides, if they really have the heart and want to take advantage of it, they need to give it to them at all!"

I hummed and said, "That's right! Wei Hua wouldn't be so stupid to use such a stupid method to buy people's hearts, right? If so, then he would underestimate these important weapons of the country!"

Bai Shijia waved his hands and said: "The heroes don't mention being brave back then, and they didn't exaggerate. They have made great contributions to the country, but as time goes by, the stage of history has gradually forgotten them. They also need a sense of presence, and if they have the opportunity to push themselves to the stage again, they would gladly accept it!"

Sure enough, an old cadre immediately stood up and asked, "What can you explain based on just one video of yours? How do we know whether your product is virtual or has been built in reality? Even if the car is out, How do we know if the performance of this car is the same as what you boasted?"

I said in a low voice: "These people regard fame as more important than their lives. If they are not careful, they will not be guaranteed at the end of the day! No one dares to take this job, right?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said: "An all-powerful person suddenly became unknown, can he be balanced in his heart? The opportunity will give him a sense of existence, and he still doesn't cherish the opportunity, so don't think too highly of them , if I guessed correctly, after a while, they will be vying for this rare opportunity!"

I smiled and said, "You seem to know how to figure out people's hearts?"

Bai Shijia didn't speak, and pointed to the front, motioning for me to look down.

Dongfang Miracle is on the top, continuing to talk, this eloquence really has nothing to say, it’s just a little too much nonsense, after all, it’s just how good its own products are, whoever eats the first crab first will be the first The beneficiaries feel that if they don’t buy today, they will definitely regret it tomorrow.I also said that if veteran cadres can endorse this product, it will be considered the first of its kind in the endorsement market. I have only heard of celebrity endorsements, but I have never heard of it. It is a group of old men who endorse products.

This gimmick is very fresh, and I believe many people below the stage are already eager to make a move.

But the response was still not great. Even if these old men who were supposed to be lofty had already made up their minds, they wouldn't say it in front of so many people.

I felt bored, and I didn't want to be seen by Dongfang, so I planned to leave secretly by myself, so I imagined that the Bai family would follow.

We walked side by side again, and I asked curiously: "Are you planning to sneak away with you? You didn't take the gift at all? Don't take advantage of it, you bastard!"

Bai Shijia laughed and said, "Why are you scolding yourself like that?"

I laughed loudly and said: "I hurt the enemy one thousand, and I hurt myself eight hundred!"

Bai Shijia smiled and said nothing.

When I heard a familiar voice, I knew something was going on.

"Mr. Bai, why did you just leave? I still want to have a good chat with you?" The person who spoke was Dongfang.

As soon as I heard that it wasn't calling me, I stepped up and continued walking without looking back.

Bai Shijia had no choice but to stop and replied: "I have something urgent to do, so I'm going to leave first. I'm here mainly to meet old friends!"

The magical voice of the East began to get further and further away from me, and I thought I would be spared from facing him, so I quickened my pace.

But he was stopped: "Mr. Chen, why did you leave in such a hurry? When old friends meet, shouldn't we talk more?"

Reluctantly, I stopped in my tracks. After thinking for a long time, I turned my head and smirked, "Ah, brother Dongfang! I didn't recognize you. The change is so big. I thought you were also a retired veteran cadre?"

Indeed, Dongfang Miracle's original handsome appearance has undergone great changes. His formerly thick hair has become much thinner now. He has a strong figure and a small belly. A look of tiredness.

Bai Shijia stood aside and watched our expressions, without interjecting.

Dongfang Miracle stood between me and the Bai Shijia, and if he said something on one side, he had to turn around, and on the other side, it seemed extremely embarrassing.

The problem is, neither of Bai Shijia and I intend to move, just talking to him like this, still asking and answering.

In the end, Dongfang Miracle felt really awkward, pulled Bai Shijia up to me, and introduced, "Let me introduce you!"

Bai Shijia waved his hands and said, "As soon as you call Mr. Chen, I know who he is? Fade Chen, right? The incumbent..."

I hastily stopped him and said, "You guessed it right, but I don't know what the origin of Brother Bai is?"

Dongfang Miracle said with contempt on his face: "Brother Bai, you don't even know? He is..."

In the same way, Bai Shijia interrupted Dongfang Miracle's words: "One commoner! If there is nothing else, the two of us will leave first, and we can talk when we have time?"

After speaking, pull me to leave.

I was eager to leave quickly, so the two of them walked forward without looking back.

Dongfang Miraculous Naken just let the two of us go, chased up again and said, "Don't leave, you two! There is dinner, and I want to have a few drinks with you two!"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said: "I quit drinking a long time ago, I won't touch any alcohol!"

I followed against my will and said, "Me too, I haven't been in good health recently, and I've started to take care of myself!"

Dongfang Miracle persuaded: "Don't, it's rare to meet the two of you at the same time, we must have a good get-together!"

I cut it and said, "It's rare? Didn't you invite this list?"

Dongfang Miracle hastily explained: "I invited you, but I never thought that both of you would come!"

I pursed my lips and said, "I don't know which tendon I have cramped? It's mainly because of your gimmick!"

Bai Shijia didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Dongfang Miracle smiled awkwardly and said: "This is also a helpless solution! Now all kinds of propaganda methods are everywhere, and if we don't want to come up with some solutions, our car will really not be able to be pushed!"

Bai Shijia said plainly: "The product is good, and it can be sold no matter what. Selling products with gimmicks is just cutting a wave of leeks."

I followed up and said, "They are all used to it, isn't this their usual routine?"

Dongfang Miracle said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Chen, this is a bit exaggerated! Our company is now mainly engaged in stable products. You will never say that the products produced by Wanzhong are all for cutting leeks, right?"

I curled my lips and said, "It was definitely not when I was here, it's hard to say now!"

Bai Shijia obviously didn't like this kind of conversation either, so he took a deep breath and said, "It's windy here, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

I hurriedly followed up and said: "Yeah, it's really cold, I really don't want to talk about it, Feng Dayi flashed his tongue, really left!"

After finishing speaking, the two of us walked faster than the other.

We didn't slow down until we could no longer hear the magical voice from the east, looked at each other at the same time, and smiled.

I asked curiously; "Why do you dislike Dongfang just like me? He is full of sincerity to people!"

As if Bai Shijia didn't hear it, he asked me, "Are you familiar with Weihua Group?"

I nodded, then shook my head again and said, "I can't tell. I've known each other for many years. A bunch of rotten fish and shrimps are gathered together. I'm too lazy to say."

Bai Shijia hummed and said: "You seem to have not gotten rid of the cynicism? It shouldn't be, shouldn't it be calm long ago? Anyone who does anything should have his own reasons, don't Substitute your own thoughts to understand others! Others do things, as long as they don’t hurt others, or even say that they hurt others, I think they have their own reasons!”

I smiled and said: "You really have achieved great enlightenment! Your enlightenment is no more than that of an old monk who has entered meditation, right?"

Bai Shijia smiled lightly and said: "This only shows that you still have little experience!"

I sneered and said, "I don't have much experience?"

Bai Shijia nodded seriously and said: "Perhaps in your perception, the ocean has already been difficult for water, but in the eyes of many people, it is just a drop in the ocean!"

I said oh, I stopped arguing, thinking in my heart, I have also experienced life and death, experienced the cruelty of the world, the sinister heart, the period of ups and downs is not once or twice, I have not experienced this, hum!Look down on people!
When we arrived at the parking lot, Guan Ze came out of the car and was about to open the door for me. When he saw a person standing beside him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then opened the door, waiting for my order.

I enthusiastically said to Bai Shijia: "Get in the car, I'll see you off!"

Bai Shijia didn't refuse either: "Okay, but it's a bit far away, don't you mind?"

I shrugged and said, "I don't mind, I have nothing to do, otherwise I wouldn't come to this boring tea party!"

Bai Shijia got into the car, shook his head again and said: "This is your problem, you should do things according to your mood, and speak with your own emotions!"

I frowned and said, "Is a person still human without emotions and desires?"

Bai Shijia said with his usual smile again: "Do you know the seven emotions and six desires?"

I felt that he was insulting me. My knowledge reserve is definitely not as good as his, but I should know the basic knowledge, so I talked freely: "Seven emotions refer to joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, Surprise, the six desires refer to the physiological needs or desires of people's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Am I right?"

Bai Shijia shook his head and said, "Do you know where it came from? Do you know what it means?"

I said disdainfully: "Have I read too few books? Dai Sheng of the Western Han Dynasty "Book of Rites: Li Yun": What is human emotion? Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, the seven are learned and learned. Am I wrong? "Lu Shi Chunqiu? Guisheng" first put forward the concept of the six desires: "The so-called whole life is the one who has the right six desires.Am I right? "

Bai Shijia hummed and said: "I have a good memory! It seems that I have read a lot of books! This is a bit different from what I imagined. Now that you understand, let's discuss it further?"

Now I feel a little guilty. I still know what it is and don’t know why. I know a little bit, but if I want to explore it in depth, I really can’t do it.

Bai Shijia saw that I didn't speak, so he said lightly: "Then I will continue. We now refer to the seven emotions and six desires as the seven emotions and six desires. In fact, we can talk about them separately, because not only the sources are different, but they are also in different periods. It is also completely different. The Western Han Dynasty Daisheng’s "Book of Rites·Li Yun" you mentioned is indeed the original source of the seven emotions, but it is not the final explanation now, because what he said about the seven emotions is too general. People are born with joy, anger, sorrow, fear, hobbies, dislikes, and desires. The seven are easy to learn, which means that you don’t need to learn them. How is this possible? Leaving aside joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, but this hobby, How can disgust and desire be born with it?"

I thought about it and thought it made sense, so I nodded.

Bai Shijia continued: "What about Buddhism? They classify desire directly into the seven emotions, and believe that human desire is also an emotion, which is the desire mentioned in "Book of Rites·Li Yun", but in medicine, desire is listed separately. After coming out, I think that desires can be divided into six kinds, which are the six sensory desires of human beings, life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, and nose. There must be taste, sound and color, so the mouth needs to eat, the tongue needs to taste, the eyes need to see, the ears need to hear, and the nose needs to smell. These desires are innate and do not need to be taught by others. Later, some people summarized this as "the desire to see" , Desire to hear, Desire to smell, Desire to taste, Desire to touch, and Desire” are the six desires.

In other words, medicine believes that the six desires are innate. The Buddha said that the seven emotions and six desires are all innate. I agree with the medical theory! "

I was confused, but I probably understood a little bit, and asked: "You have explained to me for a long time, do you want to show me your profound knowledge? Or do you want to tell me the truth? Excuse me I'm stupid!"

Bai Shijia laughed loudly and said: "You are really straightforward. It's great to talk to people like you without getting tired! I want to tell you that if human beings are born with the seven emotions and six desires, then you will also There is no way to avoid looking at any matter, which will have personal emotions and colors in it. But if it is not, it can be controlled, so that you can jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements! Seeing things, you will be more thorough , handling things will be more objective.”

I asked curiously: "Is it possible? I think that apart from saints and gods, it is very difficult for anyone to do what you said? Not even monks and Taoists! Let's just say Tang Sanzang, the great monk of the Tang Dynasty? Let's not talk about six desires first." He always has seven emotions, right? No matter how unfeeling he is, wouldn’t he still feel sorry for that one? The Bone Demon who was killed by his grandson became a family! After driving away the monkey, wouldn’t he still miss his apprentice? Even he I can’t even get an eminent monk, but if you ask me to do it, can you do it?”
