Chapter 38: Dinner

Chen Linzhi was busy looking for orders in Arkansas.

San Francisco, California.

Today, Song Yuewen cooked herself a bowl of noodles for lunch, sprinkled with soy sauce and chopped green onions, plus two soft-boiled eggs.

I don't know how to fry it, there is almost no burnt paste on the egg white, it looks white and tender, and it will shake when you touch it lightly with chopsticks, and the taste must not be bad.

Song Yuewen ate noodles in a daze.

She was in a bad mood today, not only because the lively home returned to desertion with Chen Linzhi leaving, but also because the police detective came to the door again to ask about the whereabouts of her grandfather, the old man Wang.

She really didn't know anything, so Song Yuewen was only tired of being disturbed repeatedly, and did not reveal any useful clues, including her extra luxury apartment next to San Francisco City Hall, and a large sum of cash.

It's right to be worried, but it's not stupid.

The brain was caught by the door, so such a large asset would be handed over to the police for investigation.

Song Yuewen is not the only one who thinks about Chen Linzhi.

Zhao Bailu never forgot that Chen Linzhi had the ring with the badge on her hand and recently bought a book, and finally sent it to her home by courier.

Half of this girl was out of curiosity, half of it was to help Chen Linzhi, she stayed up all night looking through a thick book published by the British Heraldic Institute, covering the classic badge patterns of various countries, and finally her hard work paid off, and she really found the source.

knew that Chen Linzhi had recently gone far away, and it was too inconvenient to communicate in this era.

Zhao Bailu had no choice but to be a little excited at first, planning to surprise Chen Linzhi at that time......

-------------------------------------

and Matthew Green, Roger Sampras and others to prepare.

That night, Chen Linzhi, who had just entered the industry, and his new colleagues, met a small manager of Wal-Mart's purchasing department in a restaurant called Golden Palm.

The other party did not introduce himself, and Chen Linzhi only heard Roger call him "Mr. Dempsey".

Probably out of fear, Dempsey specially called an employee to the appointment to go with him, so as not to be tongue-in-cheek and difficult to explain.

Bringing employees here can be said to be talking about business, and it is always safer for someone to testify, after all, the procurement department is prone to chaos, and the daily supervision system is the strictest, so you have to be cautious.

Among the group of people, Roger Sampras has the closest relationship with Dempsey, the junior director of Wal-Mart's purchasing department, and he has a close relationship with Nestle, a large company, and has worked closely with each other beforehand, so he is more familiar with the conversation.

The other four, including Chen Linzhi, were more restrained at this time, and introduced themselves one after another and handed over business cards, in an attempt to leave a good impression in Mr. Dempsey's heart and facilitate business discussions in the future.

Dempsey, who is in his forties, has sparse hair on his forehead, a hooked nose, and deep-set eye sockets.

With a cigar between his fingers, he flipped through the menu and ordered a roast lamb chop with foie gras as an appetizer.

Dempsey didn't feel distressed at all, casually suggested that his staff try the caviar in this restaurant, and told the waiter that he took a bottle of 12-year-old Chivas Regal whisky, as if he didn't think of himself as an outsider.

Seeing this, Chen Linzhi, who had promised to pay in advance, was secretly unhappy in his heart.

didn't feel sorry for the money, mainly because of Dempsey's style, which made Chen Linzhi think of the words "old fritters".

The character doesn't have an appetite for him, he is worried that he won't help after eating and drinking, patting his pants and leaving, forgetting who is who in a blink of an eye, and treating him completely as a wronged leader.

After Chen Linzhi met Dempsey, he understood why Roger suggested in advance that he should find two women to accompany him tonight, and it did seem that he was the kind of person who wanted to eat and take cards, and he was not taboo about meat.

It's really a young chick who has just started in the industry, and he doesn't understand many of the rules on the surface and in the dark, and he reads with his head covered in the library, and the books don't tell him this.

After a moment of unhappiness, Chen Linzhi was quickly relieved.

Didn't put emotions on your face.

Thinking about it from another angle, I think maybe it is such a bad person, it is more likely to be easy to start, as long as you give enough benefits, many things will become smooth, pay attention to mutual benefit.

The first impression is just that, Chen Linzhi has a small abacus in his head, he has seen too many pigs running, and he has no teacher, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks that it may be a breakthrough, and he should strive to get an order from Mr. Dempsey.

The meal money is going to be paid, and you can't give away favors in vain.

Chen Linzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then said:

"One bottle is not enough, take two bottles first, there are so many of us, each of us should at least pour a full glass, today I have a treat, everyone drink happily."

I was in Bentonville for the first time and was listening to Mr. Dempsey tonight, so the locals knew where to have fun. ”

There are so many people today that it's hard to be remembered without being in the limelight.

Except for the fact that Chen Linzhi is an Asian face, compared with everyone here, he has no advantage, neither works in a large company, nor has ready-made resources, and is in a difficult situation, so he has to try to create opportunities for himself.

After hearing him, Dempsey looked at Chen Linzhi for the first time since he took his seat, shook his head and smiled:

"Who are you? I don't think I've ever met you, I hear the accent is from the West Coast, right, California? We're just a small place in Bentonville, there's not a lot to have fun, I can help introduce you if you want to drink, my brother runs a tavern, not far from here. ”

Chen Linzhi smiled calmly: "Yes, I am from San Francisco, Chinese, called Chen. Recently, we have more contact with Hong Kong City, China Coast and other places, with a large number of supply resources, excellent quality, cheap price, mainly pajamas, T-shirts and other textiles, but also on behalf of the processing of toys, no matter how large the amount can be. ”

Dempsey liked to be straight, and was told by the rumors:

"I remember, but now we have a stable supply channel, mainly Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand and other places, and when you have time to get some samples to me, it is best to bring the price, I heard that the price of labor in Asia is now rising, Brazil has risen the most, I hope you can find cheap alternatives from China."

I used to read the news and say that as long as you give some food, oil, clothes, and so on, the locals will work for the country for free, is this really true? It's amazing, if there is no cost, then the cost must be very low, and some factories that can use a large number of workers have been moved to China, and I heard this news mentioned by my colleagues. ”

Do a line and understand a line.

Chen Linzhi can see from these three words that Mr. Dempsey is by no means a straw bag, not to mention the new dynamics of the global manufacturing industry, but also to reveal a shrewdness.

Immediately striking while the iron was hot, Chen Linzhi replied to Dempsey:

"That was before, and now private individuals can also open factories, and people work for wages, just like in the United States.

However, the local wages are low, the cost is really cheap, and the production scale is huge, which can fully meet the sales needs of Wal-Mart. Recently, I asked someone to bring a batch of new goods over, and when the time comes, I will call you and see for myself how the quality is?"

Dempsey didn't say anything, just nodded.

This kind of move, in the eyes of Matthew Green and others, is already very good and means a good start.

I couldn't help but think in my heart, no wonder Chen Linzhi became the boss at a young age, and he really had some real skills......
