National Tide 1980.

On the other side of Shanghai, because Zou Guodong was involved in important matters, he was unable to make the trip for a long time.

Ning Weimin had to wait patiently in order to do a good job handover.

Unexpectedly, he waited from mid-July to the end of July.

On July 7, Song Huagui took the models out of the country one step ahead of him, and successfully pushed the girls onto the fashion stage in Paris.

Speaking of it, this is the first time that a model from China has performed in the fashion center of the world.

Eight major newspapers in Europe and France carried the news on their front pages.

In particular, Le Figaro published a lot of large-scale color photos, especially the photos of mainland models passing the Arc de Triomphe in open cars holding five-star red flags were the most eye-catching.

It is no surprise that the girls' performance for the Pilkardon Company caused a sensational effect.

It even triggered an oriental trend in the European fashion industry.

These female models from the mainland received invitations for shooting and interviews from many fashion magazines.

In particular, Qu Xiao, Shi Kaili, and Peng Li, who were particularly outstanding, even attracted the attention of some European brands and expressed their cooperation intentions to them.

This provides the possibility for them to really enter the sky bridge on the international stage.

Therefore, in view of the good international response, the Ministry of Textiles and the Ministry of Light Industry also specially thanked and commended Pilkon for this matter.

Needless to say, this also means that the Pilkardon company was criticized for holding a model competition some time ago, and the story has been completely reversed since then.

Not only is the negative impact 100% successfully eliminated, there are even bonus points.

As for Ning Weimin, although he was looking forward to the stars, the moon and Zou Guodong, he was very anxious, wishing that he could leave quickly.

But getting the relevant news made me happy for Song Huagui's smooth trip, and I felt very proud of it.

At the same time, I am also pleased with Qu Xiao's achievements, and feel the joy of developing a game in reality.

For this reason, Song Huagui did his best to organize a few days of Sino-French youth get-togethers for the French embassy on behalf of the French embassy that Song Huagui had entrusted to him before his departure.

Relying on his good relationship with the travel agency and his familiarity with the business, he simply started the tour guide mode on his own, and took these 450 people to eat, drink and have fun.

The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Beihai Sea, the Summer Palace, Dashilan, Shichahai, Tiananmen Square, all wandered around, and even the Fuhai Scenic Area of ​​the Yuanmingyuan, which was just opened this month, was also visited.

By the way, he also boasted about the combination of Chinese and Western dishes in Maxim's restaurant, which generated income for Pilkardton Company, Temple of Heaven, Tangong Restaurant and travel agencies.

Probably because of the four words "Heaven rewards hard work", God finally showed favor to him, and did not let Zou Guodong return to Beijing. What happened, it really dragged on until August.

On the last day of July 1985, Zou Guodong finally arranged his official business in Shanghai and set foot on the flight back to Beijing.

The plane landed at the Capital International Airport at 1:30 pm.

Regardless of the high temperature in midsummer, Ning Weimin personally drove to pick up the plane, and waited at the airport half an hour in advance.

It takes more than three minutes to walk out from the long fence at the airport.

Since common people seldom use this mode of transportation these days, there are many people standing along the fence to pick up customers, almost all of whom are official faces of Party A to Party B.

And Ning Weimin, who was mixing with a can of Coke and a straw in his mouth, had such a lively expression on his face.

So much so that before he saw Zou Guodong, Zou Guodong saw him first.

Zou Guodong hurried out of the ranks of passengers, came forward to shake hands with him in a funny and unexpected way.

"Manager Ning, are you here to pick me up? How can you work hard for your third-in-command? I'm really flattered."

"Come on, it's just my share. Let's not leave any pot unopened. Besides, who is the third in command? Now the two big bosses are in Paris. Mr. Zou, except you can be the setter , there is no one else. Otherwise, why should I look forward to your return. Don't say anything, let's go to the company first. I have to have a good chat with you in a while. "

"Go back to the company? Are you in such a hurry? You won't even let me go home. As for it."

"As for it, really as for it. You delayed me for half a month. You are here with me, and your credit is bankrupt. Can I not supervise you?"

Zou Guodong couldn't laugh or cry. "You still rely on me. If you want to say it, you have to blame yourself. Who asked you to find so many things for me? Our branch company currently has less than 20 people, and our own franchise store alone is enough. But you still have a joint venture with Goldlion. You need to help them run franchised stores and special counters, and you have created a joint venture brand, Yilaide. In the first two days, the people from Goldlion brought me [-] gold lighters. Do you know that I have limited contacts in Shanghai, and I almost broke my leg just running through the gold sales procedures. I am begging my grandpa to sue my grandma..."

"Oh, it's not easy to know you, but our company has a restaurant downstairs, and a restaurant upstairs. You can eat and drink, and you can rest if you drink too much. I'm just going to take care of you. Besides, you will be in charge of both Beijing and Shanghai from now on. It’s convenient for you to manage vertically, isn’t it? Besides, I’m sorry for you when you come back this time. I guarantee that the capital city you took over is a thriving and prosperous situation. If you feel unbalanced, I’ll let Jinlilai once The boss gave you a gold lighter, how about it?"

"Don't do this. I heard about it in Shanghai. Why is this thing popular in our head office in Beijing? Many people have one of them, and there are troubles. Is it related to you? You can't blackmail Partners, besides, the atmosphere of the head office has been ruined..."

"Oh, you still have the old habit of not rubbing sand in your eyes. The neon lights in Dahuhai haven't softened you up. Let me declare first that everyone in the head office except me bought their lighters with their own money. Besides, we ourselves are luxury goods. You talk about hardship and simplicity..."

That's right, Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong's conflicting personalities are born.

As soon as the two met, they were tit-for-tat, and their views on many issues were still very different.

But the biggest difference from the past is that they not only understand themselves, but also begin to understand each other.

Now when they deal with each other, they not only have the experience of seeking common ground while reserving differences, but also can tell the truth and tell the truth. They have a kind of trust and recognition that is hard to explain clearly.

I don't really get angry like in the past, but I feel like a confidant. This is a very wonderful thing.

Zou Guodong sat in the co-pilot of the big American jeep, and Ning Weimin sat in the driver's seat.

He first took out a cigarette and handed it to Zou Guodong, but he didn't have the nerve to take out a gold lighter.

In the end, both of them lit with Zou Guodong's lighter before leaving the airport.

The car was driving on the wide airport road, and Ning Weimin turned on the air conditioner and opened the windows in an unfriendly manner.

Thick smoke filled the car immediately, and then was blown away by the cool wind, which was very pleasant.

However, Zou Guodong frowned and sighed.

"Do you know? When I take your hand, what I'm most afraid of is that you are really thriving. I'm telling the truth..."

"This... I can understand."

"Picking peaches is considered a good thing by many people. But peaches are delicious, and if you get something for nothing, you will be reprimanded. What's more, will the gardener be willing to help you? I have to make some achievements on your basis. That's fine. Simple Xiao Gui Cao Sui, the taste is not good."

Ning Weimin did not answer Zou Guodong's words immediately, he was indeed a little embarrassed.

In all fairness, ambitious people don't bother to take advantage of this glory, and it would be awkward and troublesome for him himself.

And he will definitely toss some moths out.

After 2 minutes, he threw the cigarette butt out of the car before he figured out how to speak. "It is precisely because of this that I want to talk to you face to face in detail. Let's break down the work, so that I can rest assured when I leave. You can stay in the capital and do things freely, so as not to restrict your hands and feet."

"Tangong Restaurant and Zhaigong, you don't have to worry about it. I have arranged everything. I can use the phone to control it in Japan. Another special one is Tianqiao Department Store, Yilad, Goldlion, our company's Off-the-shelf discount store. It all started here. My old subordinate Ganlu is in charge of this matter, she is still very capable, and she has been responsible for managing the genuine store for me."

"It's not that you can't replace her if you're dissatisfied. It's a game of chess across the country. It's best to unify the power of all related businesses, and you can control the whole thing. But if you want to change her, it's best to let her be in charge of several stores in Tianqiao. Because Whether it's a department store or Mr. Zeng's side, I'm very satisfied with her. Regarding the work of the authentic store, the company's LOGO ice cream promotion works well. I didn't get involved in the decoration and recruitment of several new stores. I will leave it to you to do it yourself when you come back. .”

"As for Maxim's restaurant, now the sales are driven by the evening performances. There are many dignitaries and foreigners at night, and safety and order issues are the most important. There will also be some fans outside. You'd better arrange it properly and provide Some tea is good, after all, it’s considered free advertising. The bakery has the same effect, and there are many customers from ordinary people. In addition, the technical exchanges between the chefs of Maxim Restaurant and Altar Palace are very effective. The practice approach is best continued.”

Seeing that Zou Guodong, who was beside him, took out his notebook and wanted to write it down very seriously, Ning Weimin hurriedly stopped him, "After returning to the company, I have special materials for you to read. I sorted them out and sorted them out. , you will be very clear when you see it, you don’t need to memorize it. I just talked to you about it. But there is one thing that is very important. I must communicate with you face to face. I want you to urge me as soon as possible Finance, convert all the company's funds into Japanese yen."

Of course Zou Guodong was greatly surprised, "What? All changed into Japanese yen?"

Ning Weimin patted the steering wheel and said, "Yes, try your best to exchange them all. If the official price is not easy, you can use the adjusted price, even the black market price. In short, you can exchange as much as you can. I even hope that you can borrow a loan from the bank." Approved funds are exchanged for Japanese yen. Including our company's payables, it is best to delay three months, preferably half a year, and also exchange them into Japanese yen. Our company's reputation and service providers are clear, and I would like to make such a request to them , shouldn't be too much, right?"

This time Zou Guodong was really shocked.

Because Ning Weimin's idea is not only child's play, but the key is that too much money is involved.

"You...you're not kidding, are you? Do you know how much it is? And... this will definitely have an important impact on the company's business development. How did you come up with such an inexplicable idea? What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want to repay the kindness of the big boss and Mr. Song, and I want our company to annex the Japanese branch and become the only power hub of the Pilkardon brand in Asia. According to my calculations, with the energy of our company, I really want to find a way If it is, you should be able to scrape together 2000 million RMB. After changing it, you don’t have to do anything, just put it in the account and lie on your stomach. Within half a year, you will see the effect. I guarantee you will not regret it, the money will at least Can be doubled."

"What? How can you guarantee it! You have to give me a reliable reason? I can't do this just based on your words. Besides, Mr. Song is not here... Do you know that doing so will definitely affect the company's subordinates? One step at a time. Lots of things to do, no money to do?"

"Don't rush to refuse. I know this idea sounds unreliable. For example, Mr. Song listened to my mention in his busy schedule, didn't refute me face to face, and asked the finance department to exchange 200 million yuan, which is already very good for me. It can even be said that the words I said will not sound human to anyone. But this opportunity is so rare, it is a pity to miss it like this. And because the source of the news is too reliable, I don’t Dare to tell you. Let me tell you this, I am almost 100% sure about this matter. I have already ordered the finance department to implement this, and allowed them to borrow 200 million from the bank for Japanese currency. The Temple of Heaven Park also intends to exchange for 80. Mr. Zeng’s side is fully persuaded by me. They plan to exchange a large amount of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, even if they suspend the investment in the north. So the company’s next step Expansion, whether you like it or not, is bound to be affected."

"Ah? What? Mr. Zeng...you too...you are too courageous. If something goes wrong, who can take the responsibility? You are not afraid..." Zou Guodong couldn't believe it.

He really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would never stop, even if he went abroad, he would have to give him such a big thunder.

However, he never expected that Ning Weimin would take the responsibility decisively, and his goal was unwavering.

And what follows is really hard to refuse.

"If something goes wrong, I'll take full responsibility. Mr. Zou, think about it, can you afford it only if you can let it go. What can I plan? We have worked together for so long. I don't What did I beg you for? Even the accident in the franchise store last time was the same. But this time, I am for the company, for Mr. Song, and for the future of all of us. I beg you seriously. I need help. Mr. Song is abroad, and now you are the only one in the finance department who can speak up! Don’t you always have the enthusiasm to draw swords? Do you dare to put aside your prejudices and fully trust me once. Just do After this matter, our company can even have its own high-rise buildings, and our company has really become the largest Pilkardon company in Asia, the only choice."

"What? Your own mansion?"

Zou Guodong didn't believe his ears again, he was so overwhelmed by Ning Weimin's unconstrained ideas that his heart almost jumped out.

"Yeah, Pilkerton Building, to tell you the truth, I've already thought about the location. Hey, it's right in front, let's go around."

Ning Weimin said excitedly, and the front has already reached the third ring road.

Another 10 minutes later, when Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong drove the car to the Guomao construction site, which had just started construction in June this year, and pointed to a piece of land next to the Guomao that was still full of sparse farmyards, he used words. When explaining economic costs, when painting a rosy picture of the future.

Even a pragmatic person like Zou Guodong couldn't help but be excited by the pancakes he painted, as if he had been on a stimulant.

What's more, in the end, Ning Weimin played a beautiful "bribery" again, and the matter was basically settled.

Ning Weimin patted his big jeep and said, "My car, the driving procedures are all in the car, and it is hung under the name of Tan Gong. The car is in good condition, and you can run it for a few kilometers. You don’t need it to go to Japan, so you can just take it and drive it. I don’t feel at ease entrusting it to others. Lao Zou, I can trust you, and you are the only one who really needs this car. You can’t refuse such a small request, right? "

What else can Zou Guodong say?
He simply felt that Ning Weimin was a grandson who got into his stomach.

As for his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys, he seemed to be able to do whatever he wanted.

Demon!
