National Tide 1980.

Chapter 350 Invisible Change
As for Chongwenmen Hotel, that was Zhang Shihui and Ning Weimin's previous units.

Even though both of them have already left their jobs, after all, this is still the era of iron rice bowls.

Few others dared to step out of their comfort zone like they did.

So the previous interpersonal relationship is still there, not much has changed.

Especially as far as Zhang Shihui is concerned, his wife is still working in the hotel.

What's more, it was also his main base for selling high-end goods.

How could it be impossible to do this well?

In fact, Zhang Shihui has a plan.

There was no use of Liu Weijing to make contact at all, not even a word in advance.

After searching for one afternoon, I directly transported a whole tricycle of tobacco and alcohol over there, and stopped at the back door of the hotel.

Then he went to the front desk to make a phone call, one by one, notifying acquaintances and friends in various departments who were on duty to sell the goods.

No matter who you are talking to, you always say the same words.

"Hey, I... Zhang Shihui. My buddy, I have a good thing for you today. Are you busy now?..."

"What's a good thing? I opened a cigarette shop recently, and I got some Erguotou and Badaling, which are [-]% lower than the store price, do you want it?..."

"What price? Of course it's the price. I can still earn your money. Want it? Then don't worry about it. Quickly, bring the money and come downstairs to see the goods..."

"Where will you meet? The back door, you will see things when you go downstairs. By the way, please help me to ask other people in your department, who wants to come together..."

In this way, person to person, person to person, the various departments of the hotel took turns, and all were mobilized one by one.

Some people want a little more, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t have enough money. Anyway, friendship is there, so they will tie it first.

Some people bought a little and went back, but felt that they bought less, and soon came back uninvited, and took a bunch of them back...

In short, the whole situation is like employee benefits.

Don't even look at Zhang Shihui pulling over 24 boxes of wine and four pieces of cigarettes this day, which seems a bit reckless.

But in the face of the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the majority of hotel staff, it was almost sold out in less than two hours.

There were not many boxes of things left, so they were simply put on the front desk and left to Liu Weijing to figure out when they would be sold.

That day, when the hotel got off work in the morning, Zhang Shihui, who was stuffed with money, not only picked up his wife from get off work by the way.

And it didn't cost a penny, people from the restaurant and kitchen took away two lunch boxes of meat and vegetables from Bianyifang, and bought two duck racks back.

Let's see, this errand is done, isn't it beautiful?

But even that is nothing.

Because even Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing never thought of this trivial matter that they thought was nothing.

Unexpectedly, overnight, the status of the two of them in the hotel was greatly improved, and they seemed to be more and more palatable.

Let's put it this way, since then, not to mention Liu Weijing's work in the unit has been very smooth, almost no one in any department has made things difficult for her.

Even in Chongwenmen Hotel, Zhang Shihui sees smiling faces everywhere, and almost everyone is willing to open the door for him.

Even the things that he used to spend money to treat people to dinner and send things in private are all solved now.

For example, he begged someone from the housekeeping department to temporarily open a room to borrow for an hour or two.

Or ask the room attendant to help pay attention to the whereabouts of a certain guest, and make a call to report something.

People don't refuse to give him these conveniences now, but they are a little bit rushed, and they are all happy.

If it is described in Internet terms decades later, it is very compelling.

So it’s good, but it’s really strange to be so good for no reason, and it’s inevitable that people will feel guilty and have no bottom.

Zhang Shihui and Liu Weijing couldn't figure it out after much deliberation.

Do they feel that they have not undergone any essential changes?

How did it become a sweet pastry all at once, and the life is so smooth?

Later, Zhang Shihui couldn't bear this kind of heart-scratching surprise and uncertainty.

After asking Ning Weimin a question, he felt the context of it, and he became less suspicious.

This is how Ning Weimin analyzed it for him.

"Dude, don't underestimate yourself. You don't think this matter is important, but those who work in the hotel feel completely differently."

"First of all, they earn dead wages. Anyone who wants to have a couple of extra money has to rely on saving. Our cigarettes and alcohol are not cheap. But they are really wholesale prices, and there is also a [-]% profit margin. Well, he can’t get people from the hotel’s logistics team either.”

"Just sell these goods to the people in our unit, not to mention that they will benefit themselves. They are really smart. If you sell them to others with a little extra money, you will make a steady profit."

"The people in the guest room? It's right for the people in the guest room to curry favor with you. Don't forget, no one knows how the two of us posted better than them. Do you think they are not envious? Don't you want to follow suit?"

"In their eyes, you are now a model of making money with both courage and ability! And you are also their supplier. You make a lot of money selling high-end cigarettes and alcohol to customers, of course they are willing to sell some cheap ones, and learn from you to earn money. Small money..."

Don't say it, this is true!
Zhang Shihui couldn't help but nodded.

He realized it himself.

The one who asked him to ask him for more goods recently, and even swept away the stock at the front desk, was the people from the housekeeping department.

And they kept asking him about his skills in selling goods with customers.

This is undoubtedly proof.

"Secondly, you took the initiative to give the benefits to the big guys. And no one will understand that we sell these things so cheaply for the two of us to make money for ourselves. That's a big difference."

"You see, it's also selling cigarettes and alcohol. If you go again after being told by others, and you still earn money, it means that they take care of you, and you can't fall behind. Now you are doing this, which is called giving favors. The people in the unit I can't help but miss you, saying that you are enough friends."

"What's more, so many cigarettes and alcohol are not something ordinary people can get. You have a car worth thousands of yuan, and you sell it to everyone without earning a penny. What kind of courage and strength is this! Who Can underestimate you, who would dare underestimate you!"

"So in the eyes of others, you are not only an interesting friend now, but also a friend who has skills and is likely to be used in the future. Why don't they treat you two better?"

Zhang Shihui's heart was shocked again by Ning Weimin's words.

Yes, isn't that the reason.

Back then, when he was working in the unit, his state of mind was exactly as Ning Weimin described.

At that time, he was earning a salary, and what he admired most was the kind of person who could eat everywhere and have a way of doing anything.

If a person like this can take care of him or be close to him, it will be a great honor for him.

He wished he could follow others closely to do the work of dogs and horses.

It is precisely because of this that after seeing Ning Weimin's methods, he will wholeheartedly maintain this friendship...

"As for the most important thing, it is that you sell these cheap cigarettes and alcohol to everyone. The benefits are not only sustainable for a long time, can benefit the public, but also aboveboard. Don't underestimate this, this is the most important."

Without allowing Zhang Shihui to think about it any further, Ning Weimin immediately explained the last truth to him.

"Let me tell you, those people who refused your invitations and gifts in the past, for fear of causing trouble and prudently protecting themselves. It's not that they don't want to take advantage of it. It's just that they have concerns, and they have evil intentions but no courage."

"This kind of concern is diverse. It's not just that they are afraid of being gossiped or causing trouble. They may also be afraid that they will not be able to meet your requirements after accepting your gift. Or other aspects."

"You might as well think about it, just pay attention to that old Hu of Lao Bao, and you are a cautious person? To order toilet paper at work, and get some pickles from the cafeteria, you have to sneak around, lest others gossip. Such a person, you ask him to help If you do something, it’s possible not to give a gift, but if you really want to promise him something, it will scare him to death. Just reject you directly, and don’t even listen to what you have to say.”

"Look at Lao Wang, who started looking at the warehouse in the canteen last year. He is considered a half-powerful man. Guarding the food warehouse, do you want to make something delicious? How many people are fawning on him, looking for opportunities to get rich. But Lao Wang completely refuses to corrupt , It’s very clean. Why? People can understand that they will retire in a few years, and it’s not worth doing this kind of work. Why bother if you’re happy for a while?”

"Hey, you understand what I mean. But what you are doing is different. Everyone has a share in this tobacco and alcohol, and the benefits are shared equally. You didn't ask for any conditions. No matter what Lao Hu is still Lao Wang, no one can refuse this kind of temptation."

"But what does it mean to be short-handed? As long as they get in touch with you today. If you talk to him someday, he won't be so embarrassed to refuse you. At least he has to listen to you to finish what he can do or not. ?”

"Besides, as long as you don't make any unreasonable demands. He doesn't need to refuse to help you if you take a small risk or make a small mistake. Because since everyone in the unit owes you, who can say No word? As long as he reports your name, he will rely on it. Even if he really caused trouble for you, the person who pursued it will be ashamed to pursue it."

"I even dare to guarantee this. Now in our hotel, except for the top leaders. Ordinary people, even if they hate you to the bone, they dare not speak ill of you. Unless he is stupid and wants to arouse public anger."

"In short, everything is because we are doing justice for the heavens, killing the rich and helping the poor. This is the effect. Doing like us will not only make us rich, but also get us long-term favors, which is tantamount to paving the way for the future. Roads, and street lights."

"I admit that there may not be no people who don't eat our set, but as long as most people eat this set, isn't that enough? So buddy, put your heart back into your stomach, and work hard Let's go. There is a smooth road ahead of us, a bright road, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world! I promise that there will be no troubles..."

And this last remark also made Zhang Shihui feel the same way, and couldn't disagree.

Because who has never begged, or been begged?

When giving gifts in the past, people would not accept the things he sent, so he was quite worried.

When others turned their heads and begged him to do something or give him something.

He was also worried about whether he could help others, and he was too weak to agree.

This is the mentality of the bottom people.

Presumably common people, everyone thinks about the same.

Yes, the common man is afraid of making mistakes.

The most important thing is to live in peace and have no psychological burden.

Yes, I remembered it all at once.

But the strange thing is... why?Why?He is now unfamiliar with this feeling of shrinking his hands?
Ning Weimin has to be reminded and inspired...

Could it be that now...he is no longer such a person?
Thinking of what I used to be, the most difficult days.

A complex and incomprehensible, but also faintly joyful feeling grew in Zhang Shihui's heart.

It prompted him to look at Ning Weimin gratefully.

Of course he knew who caused his changes, and he was more gratified and satisfied with this invisible change.

What Ning Weimin said to him today not only made him understand some new principles, but also made him feel more grateful for Ning Weimin's kindness.
