National Tide 1980.

Chapter 961 Levels
On the second day of the new year, Ning Weimin will continue to pay New Year's greetings.

On this day, he chose to visit Song Huagui.

Originally thought that Song Huagui's parents had passed away, and the family had no relatives in the capital.

Even if he goes to the door by himself, it will not disturb the reunion of the second boss with his relatives.

In the end, I didn't expect to find out after calling. It's such a coincidence.

On this day, Song Huagui's nephew, Zou Guodong's family happened to come to visit.

It means that he still disturbs the family happiness.

But because of this, a car came to pick him up.

Song Huagui didn't allow Ning Weimin to shirk, so he ordered Zou Guodong's Mao to act as the driver.

In less than half an hour, Zou Guodong drove to pick him up at the appointed place.

And there was no suspense that he was driving Ning Weimin's original big American jeep.

It stands to reason that these two little friends got along day and night in Tokyo, and Ning Weimin's hospitality was quite considerate at that time.

Now it's time to catch up with the Chinese New Year, and the reunion in China should be quite close.

Unexpectedly, when we met, Zou Guodong didn't even say "Happy Chinese New Year".

The nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, and they start to find fault and provoke.

"Hey, do you drive this car or should I drive it?"

"Go ahead..."

"I am your leader, can I be your driver?"

"Then I will drive..."

"You want to go back on your word. Didn't you say that this car will be used by me alone from now on?"

"Hey, Mr. Zou, we don't want to play both ends!"

Ning Weimin finally understood that Zou Guodong was deliberately trying to thwart him.

Xin said that this has become Guo Degang's cross talk, no matter whether he wears a hat or not, he can't escape being slapped in the mouth.

How wronged we are!
However, there is an old saying in Beijing that there must be a reason for wearing leather trousers over cotton trousers.

When Ning Weimin got into the car again, Zou Guodong, who was full of complaints, began to pour out his bitterness.

Only at this time did Ning Weimin realize that Zou Guodong's complaint against him actually had some truth to it.

What's the matter?
Ever since he came back from Tokyo, Zou Guodong has not been able to catch his breath. He has been working overloaded almost all the time, and he almost fell down from exhaustion.

The reason for this is that although there are reasons for the great prosperity of the domestic economy, the greater factor should be "blame" on Ning Weimin.

First of all, Chinese people have a tradition of wearing new clothes during the New Year since ancient times, and last year the domestic economy was booming, and ordinary people also raised their wages.

So at the beginning of 1986, the business of Pilkardon Huaxia Company ushered in a new wave of growth spurt.

Not only has the sales of clothing in major domestic cities been rising steadily, but the sales of Goldlion and Yilaide have also surged accordingly.

In particular, the off-the-shelf discount store that Ning Weimin figured out was selling like crazy.

This was even reported by Jingcheng TV's "Jingcheng News" as a key content about people's livelihood and economy.

On New Year's Day, sales at Pierre Carton's off-the-shelf store in Tianqiao department store reached a new high.

In one fell swoop, it broke through the single-day sales record of 12 since the opening of the new store, and the final sales reached 13 yuan in a single day.

Even on normal working days, it can maintain an average daily sales level of 6 to [-] yuan.

The only thing that makes people worry is that the goods cannot be received, and they are almost sold out in a stock-clearing style.

Therefore, in order not to have no goods to sell, disappoint the customers who come here for the name.

After discussions, Zou Guodong and Song Huagui tried their best to allocate goods, and urgently negotiated with overseas suppliers to increase the number of OEM goods ordered from overseas.

At the same time, some styles that are a bit old but flawless and authentic have to be sold first, and temporarily used to fill the shelves.

In this way, discount stores are somewhat similar to duty-free shops.

From the perspective of cost-effective price, it is almost the only shopping paradise in China that enables ordinary people to follow international fashion and get close to international famous clothing.

It also further enhanced the popularity, word-of-mouth and reputation of Tianqiao Department Store and Pilkardton Discount Store.

Now this store is not only known to people in the capital, but also very attractive to people from other places who come to Beijing, which has already made Tianqiao Shopping Center a bit of a landmark of the Wen District.

In addition, the gold lighter jointly named by Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi Zhuomo also achieved great success.

To celebrate the new year, a new batch of 660 six 18K gold tiger-striped lighters launched in the mainland market, even though the price tag is as high as 19860 yuan, is also sought after by people in major cities.

It has only been on the market for a month and a half, and four to five hundred pieces have been sold quickly, becoming the latest representative symbol of domestic luxury goods in 1986.

The rest will probably be sold out in less than a month.

If another gold lighter is released in the second half of the year, the number this time will be thousands.

For this reason, Goldlion's boss Zeng even intends to take advantage of the victory and further launch a joint gold cigarette case, gold business card holder and gold tie clip.

It can only be said that the country is large, the population is large, and the market potential is huge. The market for men's luxury clothing accessories is indeed worth cultivating.

No matter how expensive it is, if it is really a good thing, it can still be sold.

Secondly, the most important thing is that under such circumstances where the company's main business is booming, Zou Guodong, who is already very busy, has to worry about Ning Weimin and busy himself with other things.

For example, let’s take the Sino-Japanese joint venture to build a factory.

Substantial progress is not important, but urging Japan to allocate funds is the top priority.

As the saying goes, safe in the bag, safe in the bag!
If the little devil's money is not really in his pocket, who can be at ease?

As for the rise of the yen, who knows if Xiaorizi will go back on his word?
For another example, Zou Guodong also promised Ning Weimin that when he returned to China, he would follow the example of Salia in adjusting the business model of Menimus and forming a new fast food company.

Let alone the troublesome things like organizing supply sources, contacting supply channels, personnel training, and purchasing central kitchen equipment, Zou Guodong couldn't take care of them for a while.

But even if he can get started now, just going through the formalities of the fast food company, selecting the store location, decorating, setting the corporate CI and decoration standards, these things are enough for him to drink a pot.

What's more, Zou Guodong and Song Huagui had to split up to mediate and negotiate with various government departments on real major issues.

The two of them wanted to enclose the land next to China World Trade Center for the company's future building according to the location designated by Ning Weimin, and strive to vacate the residents as soon as possible.

All in all, it was a hectic ride.

To be honest, Zou Guodong has no time to take care of how to ensure the quality of trolley suitcases, increase production and increase production, reach cooperation with domestic travel agencies, and participate in the exhibition plan for the new year.

But that's it, and I'm still afraid of something.

Ning Weimin urgently urged the country a few years ago because the travel trolley case was out of stock in Tokyo.

This is not to make matters worse, but to give Zou Guodong a brick on the back of his head unexpectedly.

Not to mention Zou Guodong was stunned, and the work rhythm was completely disrupted.

It forced him to almost vomit blood, and he was almost exhausted to death, so he filled the gap that was out of stock for Ning Weimin.

How could there be no complaints afterwards?
To be honest, I hated him so much that I just waited for Ning Weimin to come back and settle accounts with him.

So no matter how you look at it, this Ning Weimin is wronged, and he deserves to be reprimanded by others.

He is just like a brat who is not afraid of big troubles, although it is out of publicity.

But it also caused too much trouble for the family, and almost all of it fell on the shoulders of Zou Guodong in the end.

So embarrassed, Ning Weimin thought about it, and could only quickly take out a gift to express his gratitude and apologize.

What gift?

A bottle of Yamazaki 12-year-old whiskey, and a leather belt from Yamato Sightseeing.

Frankly speaking, this bottle of wine was originally prepared by Ning Weimin for Song Huagui's husband Wanman.

He knew that the artist's greatest hobbies were tobacco and alcohol, so he prepared a bottle of high-end whiskey and a box of Dunhill cigars for him in order to cater to his liking.

As for the moment, in order to appease Zou Guodong's anger, Ning Weimin's original plan to give him a belt was a bit out of hand, so he had to make a big move and bring this bottle of wine to deal with emergencies first.

But the good thing is that the value of tobacco and alcohol is not cheap, and it can withstand splitting.

Since this bottle of wine was bought by Ning Weimin at the mall, it must be cheaper than the bottle he drank in "Dantes".

Without 3 yen, it cost more than [-] yen.

And that box of cigars is more expensive, [-] yen.

In this case, the two gifts add up to 4000 RMB.

Giving 1000 yuan to Zou Guodong and 3000 yuan to Wanman is not a shame.

Sure enough, he reached out and didn't hit the smiling face.

With Ning Weimin's hippie smiling face repeatedly apologizing and thanking him, he added the blessing attributes of two gifts.

Rao has the nickname of "principle", but Zou Guodong finally succumbed to the sugar-coated bullets and let the past go.

Therefore, it is still easy to deal with businessmen and businessmen.

Since there are common interests and demands, we can cooperate for a long time, and once some conflicts arise, it is easier to reach mutual understanding.

Unlike dealing with officials, you have to keep your words hidden, take your time with things, and always watch your words, otherwise you will easily fall into the trap.

Therefore, even if he was particularly unpopular today, Ning Weimin was scolded by Zou Guodong face to face.

Then he also felt that it was much easier to accept Huo Yanping's care and love than to face Huang Jinghua's warm and cold hospitality.

When they arrived at Song Huagui's home, it was another scene, which was even more different from Director Huo's home.

If Huo Yanping's house is a simple, solemn, quiet, and cold place, people have to sit upright and think about how to report serious things to the leaders.

Then Song Huagui's home in the diplomatic apartment is a luxurious, joyous, lively, warm place that makes people relax and happy, and it is the most suitable gathering place to build a good relationship with leaders.

One cold and one hot, one simple and one extravagant, just the opposite.

Among other things, as soon as he came here, Ning Weimin's sense of guilt decreased a lot.

Because he found out that Song Huagui's house was not the only one receiving foreign guests today, but also several well-known figures in the show business circle.

In addition to Cui Jian who is in a relationship with Song Xiaohong, there are also Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen who are about to film the movie "Furong Town".

These people were all sitting in the living room, chatting happily.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Weimin felt extra heartwarming.

Because when Song Huagui's son Song Xiaosong opened the door, Ning Weimin and Zou Guodong walked in one after the other.

As the hostess who is the most sociable and best at entertaining guests, Song Huagui was the first to stand up to welcome guests.

Even Wan Man, who had just sat down, looked back, stood up, and even went to meet him.

And when the hostess and hostess made such a move, the other people in the living room couldn't sit still anymore, and they all stood up to welcome them into the hall.

In the end, like the stars holding the moon, he gave Ning Weimin to the living room.

But this is not the end, although Ning Weimin seldom visits, but every time he visits, Song Huagui treats him very kindly.

Get him the best cigarettes and the best tea.

The so-called "good" here does not mean the most expensive, but Ning Weimin's favorite.

This time was no exception. Before he came, everyone sat together smoking [-] and Moore cigarettes and drinking English black tea or coffee.

But when Ning Weimin came, Song Huagui immediately asked his son to fetch Zhonghua cigarettes for Ning Weimin, and went to make him a cup of silver needle jasmine.

Speaking of which, Ning Weimin hadn't seen his immediate boss for half a year.

He took the fragrant cup of tea from Song Huagui with both hands, and saw that she was still so warm and considerate to him.

My heart is naturally very happy.

There is no doubt that this is a special courtesy.

For Ning Weimin, the master treated each other with such an attitude, which obviously gave enough face, which fully showed how much he valued him.

So for Song Huagui and his wife, Ning Weimin's attitude is also very sincere.

Then he hurriedly presented the gift he had brought with him respectfully.

In addition to giving Wanman the Dunhill cigar, he also gave Song Huagui a bottle of perfume and a shawl.

There is also a reason for choosing these two gifts.

Ning Weimin knew that among cosmetics, Song Huagui loved perfume the most.

She will visit perfume shops in any country she goes to, and put the best perfumes in a wooden box as a collection.

In her home, there are at least dozens of bottles for daily use.

A true collection, some precious ones worth gold.

Moreover, Song Huagui once said to Ning Weimin himself, "Perfume is good, even the bottle it is in is beautiful."

It was for this reason that Ning Weimin bought a high-end perfume produced by Shiseido in Japan for her.

And that shawl is no ordinary thing.

The source of this item is unusual, from Wakodo in Ginza, Tokyo.

Ginza Wakodo is a department store built in Ginza after the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan in 1923. Most of them only sell products designed and produced by themselves.

There are many varieties, high quality, and high prices, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Foreigners in Japan and ordinary Japanese basically don't go there, but Japanese ladies love Wakodo for 10 minutes.

If Mitsukoshi Department Store and Matsuya Department Store are popular shopping centers, then Wakodo is a high-end boutique shop favored by the upper class and a hangout place for ladies.

Not only are all kinds of men's and women's clothing and watches exquisitely crafted in the store, but the cakes and pastries are also super exquisite.

The daily necessities sold in the store from Europe are the world's top and high-quality products.

Ning Weimin is also because of living with Matsumoto Keiko.

I found out that the towels she uses are changed every two weeks, and all of them have to be purchased from Ginza Wakodo, so I know this place.

Like the shawl he gave Song Huagui, the price is as high as 25 yen. It is handmade and produced in Florence, Italy. It is much more expensive than that bottle of perfume.

Especially practical.

Song Huagui is a figure who often attends salon banquets, and it is perfect for matching cheongsam on important occasions.

Needless to say, since these gifts were carefully selected by Ning Weimin, Song Huagui and his wife had nothing to dislike.

Wanman's performance is not too obvious.

After all, it's just a box of cigars. If you like it, you like it. Thank you with a smile on your face. Put it away carefully and you're done.

No matter how high-end the goods are, you have to wait until when you smoke them, and that is the time when your heart is most ironed.

But Song Huagui was a little overjoyed.

Because Ning Weimin remembers that she likes perfume, it is enough to warm her heart.

Not to mention that when she opened the shawl and looked at it, she felt that the color of the shawl was very suitable.

The shawl is made of soft satin, and the inside is lavender, with lotus-colored flowers embroidered on both ends, and two small glasses are faintly dotted in the center of the flower.

Exquisite workmanship, noble and elegant, absolutely top grade.

The most rare thing is that it goes well with clothes.

Song Huagui thought about it, every cheongsam in his closet seemed to be worthy of it.

So she not only smiled like a spring breeze, but also sincerely praised in public.

"Wei Min, you really know how to shop. I really like the shawl you gave me. It's more pleasing than anything else."

And immediately took out a good bloodstone, a Tianhuang stone, and a hibiscus stone to return the gift.

This is because she followed Ning Weimin's advice to form a good habit of collecting jadeite, and collected it when she went to Liulichang.

Knowing that Ning Weimin likes the Three Treasures of Yinshi, I bought a set just for him as a New Year's gift.

As for Wan Man as a husband and an artist at the same time, seeing his wife so happy, he couldn't help nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, the color you chose is really good. It's very beautiful!"

Ning Weimin immediately felt that his face was honored, and he happily accepted the gift in return and continued to thank him.

My heart said, look at others!It's still a person with an artistic foundation and a level of appreciation.

cut!At home, the old man still calls it the color of a little wife, saying that the color is not right, so he won't let me bring it to give away!
It seems that he was right in not listening to him.
