National Tide 1980

What is very interesting is that just when Luo Guangliang couldn't help but think about Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui's standards for measuring wealth and their mentality when facing wealth.

Zhang Shihui was so dissatisfied that he actually complained to Ning Weimin in public about the unsatisfactory regrets in his business.

"Let me tell you, Weimin, originally I could have gotten back a few more wads of money. What a pity, I really have fulfilled your words. Great business is first the will of God, and then the will of man..."

Ning Weimin asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble in business?"

"Hey, it's not about the Sichuan Feihong Factory. Originally, I gave Lao Wei and the others a hand, planning to get back the reduced profits in the end. Who knows that God is not as good as man... …”

Zhang Shihui sighed once again, but still didn't understand what was going on. On the contrary, it made others feel confused.

"What? You still have something to offer? I remember that the deal was... four imported color TV sets, right? That's not one side of the gong and the other side of the drum. It's been negotiated a long time ago. Why is there still a follow-up with you? ?”

Faced with Ning Weimin's confusion, Zhang Shihui couldn't help but smile slyly, and then explained in detail.

"The price has been negotiated, but on the first day of the transaction, I had an idea, and now I'm shaking. I didn't hand over all the goods to them at once. I just said that the original imported color TV is difficult to get and it takes time. To raise funds, I gave them two units first.”

"You think, they must need four color TVs, right? It affects their overall production and is a task that must be completed. I first sold them two color TVs at their price. They reaped the benefits. , I felt that I was reliable, worry-free and safe, so I asked them for a deposit of 1,000 yuan for the other two units, and they gave it to me without saying a word."

"But they can't live here forever. There will be a day when they leave, right? When they finish what they should do, the factory keeps urging them, can they not be in a hurry? I'm afraid it will be too late to find others, and even more Afraid of being cheated, and since the deposit has already been given to me, they must be in a dilemma, becoming more anxious and angry every day.”

"Where are they staying at the Chongwenmen Hotel? That's our place. We have many insiders, and we will definitely have full control over their situation like the KGB. Oh my, my plan is just like that I stretch them like I'm fishing with a line, and when they can't bear it anymore, I'll talk to them about the objective difficulties."

"For example, the price of color TVs in Beijing has increased recently, or something happened to my previous family. In short, it is not easy to make up an excuse. Anyway, I will make them think that there is a reason. I have tried my best, but I can't get the goods at the old price. Then By then I will..."

At this time, Ning Weimin spoke up.

"Then you can say as much as you want. Now that they are hung up by your fishhook, they have to admit it no matter how painful it is. For the last two color TVs, you are going to take a bite out of them. This is equivalent to the previous price reduction. Part of the subsidy has come back, and maybe even more will come out..."

Zhang Shihui clapped his hands excitedly.

"No. It's easy to talk to smart people. With my little tricks, you'll understand once I tell you..."

The two people immediately looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they had a tacit understanding.

But hearing their words gave Luo Guangliang completely opposite feelings in his heart.

Because with his limited imagination and practical personality, it was really hard for him to accept such a philistine profit-making design.

If not for anything else, he felt that this kind of business was a bit too dark, and this kind of business calculation was a bit too much.

Especially when they saw Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui talking about their plots against others without hesitation.

Luo Guangliang couldn't figure out why he had to do this kind of business. Is it considered immoral to do this?

For this reason, in addition to being surprised, he also felt a vague sense of disgust and frowned uncontrollably.

But he never expected that as the conversation between Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui continued, the awkwardness in his heart would soon be cleared again.

And there was no doubt about the humanity of the two friends.

"Then what happened next? Which link went wrong? I'm really curious. Is there any loophole in your trick? What happened that made them see through your plan..."

When Ning Weimin continued to ask, Zhang Shihui kept raising his head and revealed an unexpected answer.

"Where is it? Then Lao Wei and Lao Liu are both sincere. They have no suspicion from the beginning to the end, and they believe everything I say. But... But just because they are so honest and trust me so much, I feel that I’m sorry to attack them.”

"These two, just because things went smoothly in the capital, in order to thank me for my help, they asked their factory to mail special products to me. What about Ophiopogon japonicus, walnuts, and mead? Get them for me. There was a lot, even dried potatoes and soybean oil weighed dozens of kilograms.”

"That's not all. He invites me to dinner and chat every now and then. Every time he drinks, he praises me to death, saying that I am a solid businessman, but the quality of the color TVs is not good. The factory has already studied the quality of the two sets they shipped back. They were full of praise. They also said that they knew that things were difficult to solve. I think it was absolutely lucky that they met me when they came to Beijing this time. Otherwise, they would not know where to solve the problem."

"As a result, the conversation got deeper and deeper. The two told me about the situation of their Feihong factory and their future prospects. Only then did I know that they were originally a military industrial company, and they were the ones who started the color TV project. This is the first attempt to convert the military into civilians, and the purpose is not only to make money, but more importantly, to break the monopoly of foreign production technology."

"Lao Wei was drunk and patted me on the shoulder and told me that he had been a factory director for ten years and still felt that he was a soldier at heart. Then he patted his chest and promised me that in ten years at most, he would Let the color TVs produced by their factory be sold all over Sichuan, Sichuan, and even half of the Republic, and we will never let the little devils make so much money from us again. He also said that I am also the hero of this matter."

"Well, I earned his money and became a hero? Tell me, is there anything so ridiculous in the world! But it's weird to say it. Listening to Old Wei's drunken words, I couldn't help but think of My father and mother, they and Lao Wei should be considered to be in the same system. They have been rooted in the mountains for so many years, and they may not even be able to return home during the Chinese New Year. So what is the plot?"

"Come on, buddy. Anyway, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. Anyway, I can't go out with the knife, so I'd better let him go as soon as possible. I need to reflect on myself on this matter. It's the key moment. Not ruthless enough. Later, I wondered to myself whether I had met a master! Could it be that Lao Wei and Lao Liu were pretending to be confused just because they knew something about me? Maybe they had discovered some signs and were professionally trained. You took advantage of my soft-heartedness and fucked me up?"

After hearing Zhang Shihui's unconfident question at the end, Ning Weimin couldn't help laughing and finally burst into laughter.

"No, no, bro, you are overthinking. I assure you, the two people at Feihong Factory are definitely real people, and the situation at Feihong Factory is exactly the same as what Lao Wei and the others said. And you are not called Being soft-hearted, in my opinion, should be regarded as affectionate and righteous.”

"Yes, soft-hearted people cannot do business. But on the other hand, businessmen must have a bottom line, and they must avoid greed. Otherwise, they will rush for quick success. They will also be unlucky and make big mistakes. People like you, on the contrary, will It's not easy for anything to happen. Now I can really rest assured that you can support this store independently."

"Actually, I know you are not frustrated because you didn't make a few more money. It's mainly because you couldn't use your methods. You feel a little unwilling. It's like you've played half a chess game and suddenly can't find an opponent."

"Hey, don't be too competitive with yourself. We will make whatever money we should make, and we won't make what we shouldn't. Whether we make money or not depends on our mood. Just follow us and sell cigarettes and alcohol, kill the rich and help the poor, and only make money for the rich People, the money spent by public funds is not the same as the money earned by ordinary people."

"Just think about it this way. After all, we can't all make money in the world in our own pockets. Why save money for ourselves? In addition to making our lives better, why don't we just want to feel happy and not feel aggrieved. Since you and Lao Wei and the others It's a good match, and I've already made a lot of money. Of course, there's no need to make yourself unhappy just to make some money."

Of course Zhang Shihui liked hearing this, and he exhaled happily.

"That's right, Weimin, you have said what I mean. That's not what I meant. Who can't make money? There are plenty of fat sheep. Wait until next time. Next time I will catch such a guy. Son, I have to take out all the steel coins in their pockets..."

But at this time, Liu Weijing lost no time in interjecting.

"Come on, you must stop bragging. Next time you do business, I'll be satisfied as long as you don't meddle in your own business. Weimin, you don't know. What is that? Before Lao Wei left, he also helped others get train tickets back home, helped them run around to check things in, and even used his own money to buy them souvenirs from the capital. He was the only one who gave them these two gifts. People from Sichuan and Sichuan are almost like sending relatives off. In the end, I told people at the train station, patting my chest and saying that if I have any problems in the capital from now on, I can just contact him, just like he is the mayor..."

The unreserved revelation from a close relative caught Zhang Shihui off guard and made him immediately embarrassed.

"Go, go, what do you know? I call it long-term and the big fish will fall."

And this time, it wasn't just Ning Weimin. Luo Guangliang's usually straight and numb face also had smile lines.

Yes, such a person is his buddy!

He is capable but not lacking in chivalry, and he is wise but not lacking in willfulness.

What else could he doubt? Kindness is innate!

He should be ashamed of his distrust just now.

He should 100% believe that even if his two buddies become millionaires one day, they will never become the kind of people who only care about money.
