National Tide 1980.

After making arrangements for Yin Yue's side, it's time to reward Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao.

For these two brothers, Ning Weimin must reward them heavily.

why?
It is because the two brothers are more honest than Yin Yue, they have paid much more, and the work is much more tiring.

Among other things, in the past year and a half, they even gave up their clothing business in Xiushui Street just to help Ning Weimin.

Willing to give up a lot of foreign exchange not to earn, the shop and license are entrusted to Ning Weimin.

Apart from receiving 1000 yuan per person from Ning Weimin every month, he has no extra income.

Has been conscientious and conscientious, has been busy and has no regrets until now.

I have never bought some stamps secretly, and I have followed the actions and thoughts of smearing.

In the end, even though they watched Ning Weimin gain the wealth of the sky, the two still didn't even have a word of dissatisfaction or a word to ask for rewards for themselves.

What does this mean?
It shows that the two brothers are of good character, and they are absolutely sincere to Ning Weimin.

Although their help to Ning Weimin may not be as important as Yin Yue's.

But when it comes to loyalty, affection, and regardless of gains and losses, the two of them must be ranked first.

Among other things, Ning Weimin couldn't think of anyone else who could travel to Huacheng for him and bring him back such a large sum of money safely.

For this point, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao are irreplaceable figures around Ning Weimin.

Compare your heart with your heart, he is worthy of Ning Weimin's entrustment, how can he be picky about such a good buddy?
Nothing else, after looking for one day at noon, Ning Weimin invited the two brothers to meet in the only private room of Maxim's restaurant.

Not only did he invite them to open foreign dishes and try French dishes as a host, but he also prepared a suitcase full of banknotes for each of them.

30 in each box!

What's interesting is that at the beginning, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao thought that Ning Weimin was going to ask them to do something again.

He opened the box and took a look, and each took it without asking anything.

As a result, after waiting for a while, Ning Weimin took the menu and was about to invite people to order, but there was no further text, and he didn't mention what they were asked to do.

Xiao Tao was impatient, so he couldn't help asking, only then did he know that the two money boxes were originally a reward from Ning Weimin.

So the two were immediately dumbfounded.

Their reaction was similar to that of Yin Yue's, they repeatedly waved their hands and refused.

Luo Guangliang said, "No, no, what's the relationship between us? Help you and get paid? What's that? Weimin, we guys don't need this, take it back quickly."

Xiao Tao also said, "Brother Ning, I don't want this money either. Working with you is not only enjoyable, but also knowledgeable. Besides, without your guidance, where would I be today? It's too late to find an opportunity to thank you, you are poor I……"

However, Ning Weimin is an experienced person, and there is no doubt about it.

"Brothers also have to settle accounts clearly. Don't forget, the purpose of my asking you for help is to make a fortune. It's another matter if I don't make money, but since I made money, I can't let you lose money. You see, the two of you this year Banguang is busy with my affairs, and I have no income. Let’s estimate roughly, you can always earn 15 yuan a month by selling clothes? After one and a half years, almost everyone can earn Let me drop [-]. I will pay you twice, which is always right? Don’t refuse, otherwise it’s too little.”

In this way, Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao got stuck immediately.

Two people, you look at me, and I look at you.

After being stunned for a long time, Luo Guangliang said again, "It doesn't take that much, 30 yuan for one person, which is too much! It's hot to hold! In this way, this one box is enough for the two of us! The other box, you take it back!"

Xiao Tao also said, "Brother Ning, the third brother is right. You are too much. Actually, we can't earn that much. Five thousand a month is not bad. Besides, we have to spend it ourselves. One After one and a half years, it’s only five or sixty thousand. If you count the bad luck, and then output points after playing cards, it will be even less. The money you give is enough for us to earn for five or six years. That’s too much, I It's so dizzy."

Ning Weimin was annoyed and funny when he heard that, he stopped Luo Guangliang first and then pushed the box over.

"Third brother, I didn't give much. This is in itself a loss of your friendship price. If you really want to distribute according to your work, you shouldn't get less than those who share with me."

"What's more, you can see how much I earn. I didn't swell my face to pretend to be fat. If I don't say anything else, I will go all the way to you and Xiaotao, and get me back from Huacheng four money-filled money bags." Suitcase. You can carry such a suitcase alone.”

"Take it seriously. If you want to look down on me, brother, don't be so alien. I can't let you carry so many money boxes for me, but I can't even get one in the end..."

Seeing that Luo Guangliang has become a dull gourd again, he can't say anything because of his clumsy tongue.

With a smile on his face, Ning Weimin began to run on Xiaotao and settle the crime of not being able to chat with him.

"Okay, you kid can do multiplication? And you don't need a calculator, you can do it right? It's ok. It's just that you only earn [-] yuan from selling clothes for a month, so you're ashamed to say it. Don't think I don't know, why do you earn so much?" Little? That’s because you’re lazy! You’re not even thinking about business. You’re still playing cards for some money? That’s called gambling. You still talk about such a bad habit, do you know what it means to be ashamed?”

Xiao Tao has a straight temper and is not good at observing words and expressions, so he didn't see the wind, and he was aggrieved.

He defended himself very seriously.

"Brother Ning, you have wronged me for what you said. Selling clothes is not speculation on stamps. Five thousand a month is a lot. If it weren't for the location of Xiushui Street, all the money we earn would be foreign exchange, and we don't Worrying about getting the goods, I still can’t reach this amount. Under normal circumstances, the clothing is only two to three thousand, and this batch of money makes money, so it’s hard to say that the next batch of goods will be compensated.”

"The third brother also told me about playing cards. I admit that I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have contracted this stinky problem, so I didn't save any money. But I haven't played cards for more than a year, isn't it Is it just a matter of fact? Why are you still counting on me?"

"Hey, I can only say that we are not the same kind of people. You are used to earning a lot of money, so you don't understand the sufferings of the people. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me for being worthless. If you give me so much money all at once, I don't know where it will go. Let go, where to spend the flowers."

Ning Weimin was really happy this time, he liked Xiaotao's straightforwardness and his unilinear thinking mode.

"Look at what you said, I don't believe it. Now that you have the money, don't you know how to spend it? Improve your living conditions, buy a house, land, household appliances, and buy more food and drink for your hometown. Take them out for a stroll, to Suzhou and Hangzhou, to Shanghai, to Flower City. Isn’t that all right? You can spend whatever you want..."

However, it was the conversation just now that Luo Guangliang finally found a reasonable excuse for being insensitive.

"Weimin, that's not what you said. That's right, everyone knows that money is a good thing, and everyone wants to get more and more. But the problem is that people's blessings are different. There are thin and thick. The blessings are not enough If you take too much money, you will really bite your hands, making people feel uneasy."

"Since we are buddies who know everything, I have nothing to say. Xiaotao and I are different from you. You earn money, no matter how much you earn, you should take it for granted. No one will have opinions, no one will have opinions But we can't, we are people with wrinkles, if we have 30, if we let others know about it, we will definitely get into trouble."

"The police station must first suspect that we have violated the law and discipline, and even the family members will be scared to death by us. So although what Xiaotao said just now is a bit childish, it is also objective reality. You know the situation of our family. If I want to take the 30 away, I will definitely not dare to deposit it in the bank. Where can I put this box at home, and what will happen to my parents if they see it, you don’t know?”

"What's more, Xiaotao has a bad habit of playing cards. I brought him here to do this kind of thing for you. Apart from helping you, there is also an additional purpose, which is to let him quit gambling. Are you I don't know, this kid plays cards very fiercely when he gathers to gamble, and he dares to bet two if he earns one. Now it's hard to stop playing. But since you have no business to do here, if he has a few more money in his hand, he will suspend it. I'm afraid he'll pick up the poker again."

"So Weimin, both of us appreciate your kindness. We also remember the friendship. But we really can't ask for the money. If you insist on giving it, we must keep it. It’s a bad thing. Let’s just keep 10 yuan, which is enough. You should take the rest.”

Ning Weimin had no way to object to these words.

He was surprised that Luo Guangliang's attitude towards money was so calm, yet he was immune to such a big temptation.

At the same time, I have to admit that Luo Guangliang has a clear mind and his worries are very reasonable.

That's right, people like Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao are still very discriminated against these days.

They are individuals themselves, earning some money is enough to make people envious, and there are people gossiping behind their backs all day long.

If others knew that they had 30 in their hands, they would have to be eaten alive.

And if they get into trouble because of this, and attract officials to intervene, then their stamp speculation will have to be exposed.

Although this matter is not illegal in theory, it is too easy to arouse public outrage after all, and it is a kind of gold-fishing behavior in a gray area.

Then the result is not easy to say...

Just thinking about it, Xiao Tao said again.

"Brother Ning, I agree with the third brother's idea. You need money to go abroad. It is more useful for you to take the money. The third brother is right, who made us eat half a catty of pancakes? If you have to eat a catty, That has to be sustained. People are different from each other, and we are not born with such a blessing..."

And these words really made Ning Weimin feel sad.

In the deepest part of his memory, he seemed to think so in his previous life.

As a result, his nerves were touched, and he couldn't help but slapped the table, pointed at his nose and scolded Xiao Tao.

"Fart! Who told you that you are different from others? Why don't you have this blessing? I said you have it, and you have it! What is 30, are you a man? Remember, you are no better than anyone else Poor, never inferior to others. Things in the past have turned over. As long as you don’t follow crooked ways, you should live a good life. You are not allowed to give up on yourself, do you hear me! Say such useless things again. I will not do it from now on Know you."

Xiao Tao was immediately scolded, and Luo Guangliang looked at Ning Weimin as if he didn't know him.

Because it was the first time for them to see Ning Weimin so annoyed and excited.

But the good thing is that since they are true friends, there is no need to point out some words, and everyone knows what the other party thinks.

These words not only did not hurt feelings, nor did they make the atmosphere awkward, on the contrary, they made all three of them feel a little bit sympathetic to each other.

"Brother Ning, don't be angry. Blame me, blame me. Can't you?"

A moment later, Xiao Tao, who was always known as a jerk, actually admitted his mistake to Ning Weimin first.

Luo Guangliang also expressed relief.

"Wei Min, don't be as savvy as Xiao Tao. This kid also has no intentions. Don't worry, with me watching him, he won't be confused again in the future."

Ning Weimin also broke his donkey and hurriedly scratched his head.

"I'm sorry, I also have a lot of things recently, so I have become more anxious. Xiao Tao, I don't blame you for this, you didn't do anything wrong. I just want you to know that without you and the third brother's help, I would have done it." It’s not such a big deal. So if you don’t get a reasonable reward, I don’t feel comfortable.”

"Let's talk about it. Of course, no one is to blame, but the development of the times is too slow, and people's ideas have not changed for many things. But it doesn't matter, wait a few more years, the policy will be better, and people's thinking will also change. Guaranteed the situation will be different. Even in front of us, people have come up with the solution. We living people will not be suffocated to death by urine."

"Just now I heard the third brother say that you can't be idle, and that most of the family members will be anxious when you bring the money home. I understand this. But because of this, I suddenly had an idea. Although you can't be aboveboard with the money, right now Open up to enjoy, but if you want to use it to do things, spend the money again, no one will say anything."

"According to what I mean, you two, why don't you use the money to start a business together. First, Xiaotao won't be idle and troublesome, and second, the money can be regarded as the best use of money. Even if someone finds out that you are Rich man, you also have an argument. You earn money by doing business, we are in business, who has provoked who? It is reasonable and reasonable, and you should pay taxes according to the law and contribute to society.”

Ning Weimin's idea immediately won the support of Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao.

Their eyes lit up, eager to raise their hands in favor, but the question came again, what kind of business should they open?

The idea that the two of them came up with almost unanimously was to open a restaurant for catering.

Who made it so popular to open restaurants now, almost opening a family of them.

Even court dishes, now there are more than just the old three in the capital.

Chongwenmen has a palace restaurant, Xibianmen has a royal roast duck restaurant, and Gongti has a live fish restaurant.

They all just opened in the past year, which shows how popular this trend is.

However, what they didn't expect, Ning Weimin didn't approve of it, so he directly rejected it.

"No, no, the catering industry is the hardest, most tiring, the most trivial and the most tedious in the service industry. Among other things, if you open such a restaurant, you will all be chained to death. From now on, you will have to work day and night. What happened here, can you two bear it?"

"Besides, in my experience, if a restaurant wants to be prosperous forever, the operator must know how to enjoy it better than the customers, so as to keep the guests. Otherwise, the food is not good, and the service is not satisfactory. Why pay for it?"

"Don't look at how easy it is to open a restaurant now, as if anyone can make money. That's because we used to have too few restaurants. It won't be like this forever. Sooner or later we have to compete. So it's best to choose ourselves A business with an advantage..."

These words are absolutely reasonable, and they convinced Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao again.

But the question is, what advantages do they have?

Luo Guangliang smiled wryly, "Wei Min, in addition to having some money in hand, we also have the strength to play tricks. What advantage do we have? You won't let us start an escort agency, will you?"

Xiao Tao kept scratching his head, "Brother Ning, you don't know us? You know how to sell clothes and ride three rounds. That's not an advantage. We can't go back to our old business and do our old job again. go?"

"Hahaha..." Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing, "I have to say this time, the third brother's words are unreliable. But Xiaotao's words are a little bit off."

"Ah?" Xiao Tao looked at Ning Weimin incredulously, "Ah... no... Brother Ning, are you kidding me?"

"No, no. I'm not joking. It's the same in any industry. You can do it big or small. You don't need a lot of money to do it yourself. But if you want to make a big business, it's up to the grade. Another way to do it."

Ning Weimin paused, thought for a while, and said seriously.

"I can give you two options. If you want to sell clothes, don't practice stalls anymore. You can rent a store in the downtown area and open a clothing store. It just so happens that our street factory has three clothing brands. Whether you want to sell men's clothing, women's clothing or There are sportswear, you can choose whatever you want. 30 yuan is almost enough to open a store.”

"The advantage is that I can take care of you in terms of supply and store management, so you don't have to worry about it, and I can guarantee that you will definitely make money at the moment. But the disadvantage is that you are too dependent on the brand and you are not free. In case the brand is smashed in the future In addition, the hidden danger of rent is also a problem. The shops in the downtown area are only rented and not sold. "

"The second option is that you go to pull up a team to ride three rounds. But this time it's different from your past pulling goods, we changed to pulling people. And it's not at the train station, it's in the Temple of Heaven Park. The advantage is that you can have multiple tourist projects in the Temple of Heaven Park, and no one will compete with you for business. It is our exclusive monopoly of the tourist car dealer. So you even have a low price, do not recruit domestic citizens, only recruit foreigners, and earn their foreign exchange But there are also difficulties in doing this business, one is in language communication, the other is in industry rules, and the third is in the particularity of vehicles.”

"Language communication requires translators. Although we can spend money to hire people, at least you have to let your subordinates learn some daily English. You can't even park at the minimum, or turn left and right, and point to the translator. Industry rules In fact, after all, it is also a service industry, so it is not fun to talk to customers and translators who are blushing and thick-necked. You can’t swear, and you have to be hygienic in order to eat this bowl of rice. Then you have to be able to restrain the people under your hands.”

"In addition, to do this, pointing to the travel agency to solicit business, you have to maintain a good relationship with the tour guide. You have to be willing to share the money with the other party, and you have to be willing to pay the park fee. Only by establishing an alliance of interests can we maintain long-term financial resources. Finally, the main cost of buying and selling vehicles is that ordinary three-wheeled cars are not enough, they must be beautiful, according to the style of foreign cars in movies. Then you have to find skilled craftsmen to build them, and you have to buy a house with a yard nearby as a parking lot. Hire someone to take care of the day-to-day maintenance of the vehicle..."

At this point, Xiao Tao couldn't sit still, and couldn't help interrupting.

"Brother Ning, I'll choose the second one. It's a good idea. No wonder you earn money as if you were picking up money. What you say casually is a golden idea to make people rich."

Luo Guangliang was obviously satisfied with the final idea.

"It's fine to sell clothes and open a specialty store. We can't rely on you all the time. It's still within our ability to eat well."

Seeing that they finally made a satisfactory choice, Ning Weimin was of course very happy for them.

So far, the issue of rewards has been resolved, and he finally has a heart problem.

But this matter is not over, because Luo Guangliang soon made another request, which surprised Ning Weimin.

"Wei Min, such a good job cannot be done without you. You have to work with us."

Xiao Tao followed suit and seconded the proposal. "That's right. Mr. Ning, the idea you gave, how can we understand so much. If you don't take us with you, I don't feel relieved. What if it goes wrong?"

Followed by Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, they offered to give Ning Weimin a dry stock, and this car dealership business is considered three people.

Ning Weimin couldn't do it if he wanted to refuse. In Xiaotao's words, "There is nothing inappropriate, and it's not for nothing. You are a consultant. Besides, you gave the money."

Ning Weimin couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly this time.

"Third brother, Xiao Tao, thank you for looking up to me and trusting me. But I can't care about this matter. You forgot? Soon, I will go abroad. Even people are not in the country, so I Isn't this consultant just taking money for nothing?"

Unexpectedly, both Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao said that they were willing.

In fact, there is no need for Ning Weimin to take care of this matter at all, his idea alone is worth tens of thousands of gold.

For the rest, you only need to master the general direction and point out the maze at any time.

It doesn't matter even if he goes abroad. At that time, if they have something they can't figure out, they will call him for advice.

Anyway, only when Ning Weimin gets involved can they have the confidence to handle this matter well.

Seeing this, it was hard to turn down the kindness, so Ning Weimin had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, but if I'm a meddler, it's definitely not okay to take shares for nothing. How about this, I don't work hard, so I can pay more. Each of you will pay 20. I will ask Yin Yue to start from the clothing side again." I will give you 40 yuan. This deal will be considered as one for each of us."

Seeing that Luo Guangliang and Xiaotao wanted to talk more, Ning Weimin rushed to finish the conversation.

"That's it, don't argue. Don't worry, Yin Yue's side will give you money in batches, and it won't affect me. Besides, it may be a profit or a loss. Let's do this first, shall we? Wait It's not too late to fight for the cake."

After thinking about it, the two of them realized that this was true, so they finally finished talking about the money, and it came to an end.

Of course, because of this, it's time to drink to one's heart's content, and today's celebration banquet undoubtedly added another happy event.

Just don't look at Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao who followed Ning Weimin to Shanghai and Huacheng for more than a year.

But to be honest, the two of them really haven't eaten any western food, even the "Lao Mo" in the capital and the western food department of Xinqiao Hotel.

So as soon as they entered the gate of Maxim's restaurant that day, they began to turn around.

The scene inside is completely another strange world to them, no matter how they look at it, they feel dizzy.

After getting the menu, I was even more confused. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't know what to order.

When Ning Weimin saw this, it was not difficult for them, and he simply stepped in to do it for them.

"Then it's up to you. Anyway, it's a new taste. I'll order it blindly, and you can eat it blindly."

After speaking, Ning Weimin called the manager of the restaurant in and even returned the menu to him.

"Then what, it's the first time for these two to taste French food. Don't follow the procedure. Today, the chef recommends all the special dishes. Let's eat French food. Of course, you have to eat foie gras and snails. You also Write it down. Do you have lobster? If you don’t have lobster, then don’t want it. A Caesar salad is fine for the salad. Meat, yes, the key is the steak. Please tell Yang Zi, my guest, we locals. BBQ dishes Let it be cooked, but don’t be too old. Goats, cows, chickens, all of them.”

Ning Weimin muttered like this, and then ordered several desserts and seafood, all of which were fresh fish, shrimp and crab.

This kindness made Xiao Tao scratch his head with joy, but Luo Guangliang couldn't help but stop him, "It's just the three of us, as long as we have enough to eat."

"Don't be polite, I'm sure you have a lot of things you are not used to, so try them all. Anyway, if you can't eat them, you can take them away, and this business belongs to our company, and I have a discount for my consumption. The fertilizer and water are not left to others. Drink some What? There is no banquet without wine. It is rare for us to have a solid meal together, and today we have to drink a few glasses."

Ning Weimin opened the wine list and handed it over, but Luo Guangliang hadn't answered yet, Xiao Tao interrupted at this time, "Erguotou. Brother Ning, Erguotou is fine."

Luo Guangliang, who was looking at those colorful foreign wines and didn't know what kind of good wine to order, was so angry that he blamed this kid for shame.

"What are you talking about, this is a western restaurant? Use your brain, where is Erguotou?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Tao showed an embarrassed look, Ning Weimin spoke with a smile.

"It's okay, I don't care about Chinese or Western food. Since we're here to eat, we just want to be happy and at ease."

Then I told the manager of the restaurant to send someone out to buy Erguotou, and get some more chopsticks by the way.

And the manager of the restaurant also seriously agreed, and immediately complied, without the slightest evasion or perfunctory, let alone the mockery of watching a joke.

Now Xiaotao opened his mouth in joy, while Luo Guangliang blinked in surprise, and began to savor Ning Weimin's behavior.

At this time, Ning Weimin told the manager of the restaurant, "We are happy today, go get us a bottle of champagne king. I am afraid that the two guests are not used to drinking wine, so open a bottle of cognac for them to taste. Let’s be the top horse XO, let’s do it first. I’ll call you later if the guest wants to add something.”

Somehow it was a coincidence that Luo Guangliang's wine list was opened on the cognac page.

What champagne king, he didn't know what it was, and he didn't know where it was on the wine list.

But Remy Martin XO, this name is too strange, he saw it at a glance on the wine list.

At that time, I was shocked. On the Ganqing wine list, the price of that glass was only 80 yuan.

What about a bottle?

It took him a long time to find it... One thousand eight hundred and eight!

Damn, this is golden water!

While in a daze, Luo Guangliang couldn't believe how such a bottle of wine could be sold for the price of a color TV.

The restaurant manager has returned with two bottles of wine, one for each of him and another waiter.

"I opened it for you!"

Immediately afterwards, in the two cups in front of him, Luo Guangliang saw a fine nectar that was more like gold than gold.

Although the taste is quite strange, but the beautiful and unimaginable bottle makes people believe that this is a good thing!
