Chapter 30 Yunnan
Xiang Yuan left Ye Bingwen's office that day, and went directly to the Finance Department to advance the 4000 yuan business entertainment expenses that were at her disposal.When she heard that she was going on a business trip, the girl at the front desk who had known her for a long time asked her if she needed to book a plane ticket. She seemed to have heard a wonderful joke, and finally the ticket was booked. Fortunately, there were still hard seats on the cheapest express train.

From G City to Kunming, depart at noon and arrive the next day. There are exactly two days before the meeting registration time. Don't go too early, and of course not too late.Back at the residence at night, the luggage was so simple and clear that it couldn't bear to pack. Xiang Yuan thought of her predecessor. Jiang Yuan implemented a contract system for marketing and sales personnel expenses. She spent 9000 yuan in the first eight months before she took over, and the annual payment in the entire Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan-Chongqing markets was only [-] yuan. The manager is also talented.Under the lamp, she looked at the banknotes that she had just received from the treasurer in the afternoon one by one. The banknotes had been checked by the banknote counter, but it was true that they had passed through her own hands.

After clicking No. 30, the phone received a call from Ye Qianze.What Uncle Ye said outside the ward that day, about the glass of water, maybe he said it too clearly, so that the two who had known each other for a lifetime were quietly chilled by each other's choice, so until Xiang Yuan agreed to Ye Binglin's request and entered Jiangyuan, the old Friends have become colleagues again, and they meet each other day and night, but they are not too warm on the surface.Thinking about it, the five members of his family, except for Ye Yun, the rest are sick and weak, and the company has a lot of troubles. He seems to be forced to carry a burden and walk on an unwilling road, while she It is the first time to change the environment, pay attention everywhere, there are endless things to do every day, and it seems inevitable that the private contact will become less and less.

But that night, he said on the other end of the phone: "I'm outside your door, Xiangyuan."

Xiang Yuan put down the money and went to open the door. He didn't expect her place to be so straight-forward, except for a stool and a bed. He hesitated a moment before walking in. Xiang Yuan understood him, and said with a smile: "The landlord has been abroad for a while, Besides, few people nowadays think that all orphans and widows are chai."

Ye Qianze smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter to me, you're a girl, it's always good to pay more attention outside."

Xiang Yuan understood that he meant well, so he didn't bother to argue, so he turned to look for a water glass, "Sit whatever you want, and I'll pour you a glass of water, it doesn't matter what Ye Yun usually uses."

Ye Qianze gently pushed away the cup in Xiang Yuan's hand, "No need for Xiang Yuan."

He handed a kraft paper envelope in her hand to her, "Hold it, you need money when you go out."

Xiang Yuan whistled lowly, and weighed the unopened envelope in his hand, "You brought all the entertainment expenses for next year."

He said, "I heard about going to Kunming. 4000 yuan can't do anything. Don't let yourself work hard and go for nothing. I should have asked my second uncle to explain it. It's obviously making things difficult, but it's a pity that this My dad is not in good condition for a few days, I don’t want him to worry about these things. You take it first, and tell me if you need it.”

Xiang Yuan put the money into Ye Qianze's arms with a smile, "There's no need for this, I have 1 to [-] for myself, but business is business, private business is private, and there's no reason to use the money in my pocket when I'm on a business trip. Besides , if you give me these, do I owe you or the company?"

"Are you so clear about my needs?" Ye Qianze sighed.

"Brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone us?"

"You man, oh, you!"

I don't know why, Ye Qianze's helpless blame made Xiang Yuan feel a little joy for no reason, even worse than her joy when she saw the money.

"Since you know, you don't need to say any more. Qianze, I appreciate your kindness."

"I didn't come here to ask you to thank you. The conference in Kunming has a high standard, and the people who go there are not low-level. I know the style of those people. It is not easy for manufacturers to get close, and it is even more difficult to move without money. I am... worry about you."

Xiang Yuan bowed his head and took a sip of water, then laughed, "How can I use this cup?"

"A Yun, does he still come here often now?" He added as he spoke, "Apart from going to the hospital to see his father, he seldom goes home, but it's true, this home has become the way it is now, and it's normal not to want to come back. of."

"He's a child, so he doesn't have as many scruples as you do."

"A child? We grow up year by year, and he has grown up, and he always speaks to me with an adult accent... Ah Yun, he is luckier than me, and he knows himself better than me."

Xiang Yuan glanced at him, smiled and pushed him away, "Go back, don't remind me that I'm getting old."

He insisted not to let her see him off, they waved goodbye at the door, Xiang Yuan closed the door, and stood quietly holding a glass of water under the light, after a few seconds, she gently opened the door, as if sensing her No movement, only Ye Qianze at the end of the corridor glanced back, the two stood at each end silently facing each other, they seemed to think that the other had something to say, but they were speechless.

These years, they thought different things, said different words, and their hearts were on different sides of the strait. Only their memories were reluctant to discard, and they still looked at each other hesitantly.

Inductive walkway lights come on and go off.

"Good night." Xiang Yuan's calm farewell greeting broke the deadlock.

Ye Qianze nodded, "Good night."

The next day, Xiangyuan boarded the train bound for Kunming by himself. It was an 11-hour journey. The passenger flow peaked at the beginning of the Spring Festival travel season. Most of the trains were packed with migrant workers returning to their hometowns. To pass the time, Xiang Yuan won a series of victories and returned to a seat by the window, resting his head on the wall of the carriage by the window to take a nap for a while, and Kunming was just around the corner.

The annual meeting of construction enterprises was hosted by the competent national construction department and undertaken by a large local construction unit in Yunnan. The venue was chosen at a listed five-star hotel by the bank of Green Lake. According to prior arrangements, the day Xiang Yuan arrived was the registration date , the next day and a half formally arranged the meeting, and from the fourth day onwards, the organizer organized the representatives of the meeting to "investigate", that is, entertain the guests to travel in Yunnan with the friendship of the landlord.In order to show the host's strong financial resources and warm hospitality, the invited participants do not need to pay the conference fee, but suppliers like Jiangyuan, where Xiang Yuan is located, can only attend and cannot be representatives of the conference. To put it bluntly, all expenses need to be paid out of pocket.

The first thing Xiang Yuan did when he arrived at the hotel was to exchange the admission ticket for the attendance card at the check-in office, and immediately went to the front desk to inquire about the room rate. Hearing that the cheapest room was 780 yuan after a daily discount, she walked out of the hotel without saying a word Lobby to find another place to live, she still has to stay in Kunming for at least three days, 4000 yuan ah 4000 yuan, she is more and more appreciative of Ye Bingwen's black humor.

After walking around the hotel, Xiangyuan found a place to stay in a small hotel 300 meters away. It is a very inconspicuous small building. It is better than the venue, but because it is located in a prosperous area, it is nearly [-] per night. Yuan.She simply packed up her things, and went back to the hotel lobby where the conference was held, found a corner sofa with a good view, ordered a bottle of mineral water, and quietly watched the sign-in desk where people came and went.

Just as Ye Qianze said, the meeting was of a high standard, and it seemed that all the executives from major construction companies across the country came. It was probably because the meeting schedule was relatively calm, and winter was the peak tourist season in Kunming. Occasionally come.

Being able to get in close contact with these high-level builders who are usually hard to find is a great opportunity for any manufacturer, but the reality is always cruel. After observing Xiangyuan for most of the afternoon, when those leaders arrive, they often come with a group of entourage And the conference reception staff are so vast, they come and go in a hurry, even if she puts on her wings, it's hard to get a chance to get close. During the next meeting, even if she can enter the venue, I'm afraid she can only watch the flowers from the other side.It would be even more difficult if the delegates went back to their rooms after the meeting, not to mention that she didn't know who lived in which room. Even with gold bricks in her pocket, she may not be able to knock on a door, not to mention that she only has three thousand or so.

While waiting, Xiang Yuan also had a face-to-face meeting with people from several other manufacturers. Those who received the admission tickets and were invited to attend were all well-known domestic large-scale building materials supply companies. Given the declining situation of Jiangyuan in recent years, I'm afraid that getting this coupon is due to Ye Binglin's contacts in the hospital bed over the past [-] years.

It is said that people who work in the same class are inferior to each other, and the people of several manufacturers watched for a long time helplessly, and they couldn't help feeling a little bit of sympathy. Xiang Yuan was the only woman among them, and she was a young girl. Naturally, the representatives of those big factories did not treat her too much Be wary, from what they said, Xiang Yuan learned that during this meeting, the conference affairs team sent by the organizer will make unified arrangements for the board and lodging of all conference delegates. Personnel are not disturbed, and all gifts from manufacturers or private individuals are rejected.

In fact, all the people from the manufacturers eagerly came to hold this unrelated meeting. The biggest intention was to find an opportunity to get close to the bosses, express their "hearts" briefly, and communicate with customers about their "emotions", just like sitting in Xiangyuan The sales director of the Nanjing factory next to him said that it would be good if the annual meeting was attended by personnel from the functional departments of various construction companies like in previous years. The level does not need to be too high. On the first day of high school, the bosses gathered and the guards were tight, but they stopped thinking about being courteous. Moreover, these leaders are usually high above the sky, and the emperor is far away, so they can't control the trivial matters of material procurement.

Xiang Yuan smiled wryly in his heart, this way, at least there is an advantage - she no longer has to worry about how much she can express after excluding food, accommodation and transportation expenses of 4000 yuan, let alone talk to those pocket-packed, well-prepared The peers competed on this track where she had absolutely lost at the starting line.

The people who signed in did not stop until after nine o'clock in the evening. Halfway through, Xiangyuan scribbled dinner nearby. When he came back, the colleagues of the manufacturers should have gone back to their rooms to rest. They all lived in this hotel like the conference representatives. .

The hotel has been booked out for this meeting. Among the passing guests, some Xiang Yuan has heard of, some have seen it in industry magazines, and some don't know it.She even recognized Ouyang Qiming, the general manager of China Construction Group, from the surrounding entourage.

The headquarters of China State Construction is in City G. When you go to other provinces, it sounds like a family. In fact, Jiang Yuan, who lives in the same city, only undertook a sporadic business from China State Construction, a giant in the construction industry, three years ago. It is said that the construction site was dissatisfied because of the delay in delivery, and since then it has never been able to catch this big ship with good wind.The Jiangyuan market operators, including Ye Binglin, have tried their best to establish a good relationship with China Construction this year. They have a large amount of engineering tasks. Even if they win a bid in the bidding for their materials, it is enough to make Jiangyuan's production more efficient Fullness, if a long-term relationship can be established, it is one of Ye Binglin's greatest wishes before he fell ill.However, China Construction has its mature material supply channels, and prefers to use products from large private manufacturers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In recent years, it has been heard that it has established its own tertiary steel structure production base under its jurisdiction. It is even more difficult for Jiangyuan to win the bid.

Ye Binglin had some friendship with He Xushan, the former general manager of China State Construction Engineering Corp., and they met several times, and everything made sense, but he resigned. cooked.After Ouyang Qiming came to power, he was particularly cautious when it came to material bidding. Public and private were clearly distinguished, and the boundaries were clearly drawn. He was not as easy-going as his predecessor. Xiang Yuan heard that Ye Binglin visited his office several times in person. I couldn't pass that test, and then I gradually gave up.

Xiang Yuan sat here for several hours, and none of the bosses of major construction companies had a more grand appearance than Ouyang Qiming. Although he only brought two entourages with him besides his wife, the dozen or so people who lined the road at the entrance of the hotel welcomed It should be the management personnel of China Construction Yunnan Branch, and even the lobby manager of the hotel gave flowers with flowers under the instruction of the reception staff.The one behind Ouyang holding the coat he took off was the vice president of China State Construction Engineering Corp. The young man Xiang Yuan couldn't recognize him when he was dragging his luggage, but she remembered that the person leading the way was the person in charge of the conference affairs of the host.

In addition to the fact that China Construction has been in full swing in the past few years, Xiang Yuan concluded that the reason for such momentum is-often, his subordinates will respond to what the leader of a company prefers.For example, if he likes a low-key leader, his subordinates will naturally not show off. But for someone like Ouyang, judging from the small details of the past, he should be a person who has a strong desire for power, values ​​dignity, cares about face, and has absolute authority among his subordinates.In addition, Xiang Yuan also noticed that Ouyang's own coat was carried by his deputy, but he personally held the coat that his wife took off. When he walked past the decorative steps in the lobby, he naturally looked at his wife's feet. If he didn't guess Wrong, their husband and wife have a very good relationship, and they attach great importance to their significant other.

Xiang Yuan's gaze followed Ouyang and his party all the way until they turned into the elevator entrance. She hoped to know the floor he was on, but she couldn't follow him to see what happened in full view.It was late at night, and she returned to the small hotel where she was staying, lying on an uneven spring bed, but she was unusually sober after a day of running around. Zhongjian and Ouyang were the key to her trip. She needed a chance, and she must Take a good hold.
