Chapter 10 Expedition to the South (3)
After the opinions of the company's leadership were unified, Tang Jianhua was so excited that he didn't sleep all night.
His wife saw that he couldn't sleep over and over again, and asked him if he was not feeling well, and he said, "No, it's a matter of the company." ”
His wife was even more uneasy when she heard this, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
He said impatiently, "What do you want? It's a good thing, I can't say a word or two, go to sleep." ”
The next morning, he called Lin Li to the office and instructed: "Arrange a dinner in the evening, the old place, bring the remaining bottles of wine from last time." ”
Lin Li's head was a little big when he heard it, the first few times he drank with him and his customers he vomited, and the next morning he had a splitting headache, and the feeling of not being able to get out of bed was still vivid, and it seemed that he was not drunk tonight.
But he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to say, "Okay, how many people?
Tang Jianhua said: "Just five or six people, one table is enough." ”
In the evening, in the most luxurious private room on the second floor of Xingyun Restaurant, Tang Jianhua, Lin Li, Gao Hui and several other people sat around a large round table, with jade plates and delicacies on the table, and the room was full of smoke.
Since he sat down and started eating and drinking, Lin Li has been muttering in his heart, the people who participated in the dinner were all colleagues in the branch, and there were no outsiders. I thought that tonight was drinking with customers again, what did Mr. Tang mean by this meal tonight?
He saw that the other people were also a little confused, and while pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Lin Li asked with the strength of the wine: "Mr. Tang, such a good wine and food have flattered a few of us, do you have any good news?"
"Ahem, ahem. Tang Jianhua's original sallow face was burned red by alcohol, and his bloodshot eyes swept over several business managers under him, and said, "Don't ask, you will naturally know when it is time to tell you." The most important thing now is to do what I just told you, hurry up and go to the sugar factory to buy as much sugar as you want!"
Lin Li, Gao Hui and a few others exchanged surprised glances with each other, and some people secretly thought in their hearts: What is going on with Mr. Tang today, is he drinking high?
Gao Hui also thought it was wine talk, but when he thought about it, it didn't look like it.
Everyone saw that Tang Jianhua was famous for his meal tonight, but he refused to explain the reason, Gao Hui followed his topic and asked cautiously: "Mr. Tang, how much do you want?
Tang Jianhua stared at a pair of bull's eyes, looked at the expressions of several of them, and said with a smile: "You stinky boys, do you think I'm drunk and talking nonsense? You just have to do what I say. Don't be small-scale farmers, be more courageous. At this time next year, doubling the bonus is trivial, and a few of you who should be equipped with a car can have a car!"
Gao Hui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Mr. Tang, how much should the purchase volume in the sugar factory be increased?
As soon as Tang Jianhua waved his hand, a large piece of cigarette ash fell from the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and almost landed on a plate containing squirrel fish.
He puffed smoke and the smell of alcohol and said disdainfully: "It's not the concept of adding a few percent or tens of percent to the original base, it's the concept of doubling, do you know no? At least two or three times! Funds are not a problem, and this is not a matter for you to consider." ”
Lin Li hurriedly moved the plate containing the fish to his side, he liked this dish the most, looking at the whole fish that hadn't been touched much, he was secretly glad in his heart: it was almost all wasted!
When several people heard this, they gradually understood what Tang Jianhua was thinking. Especially Lin Li, thinking of the fact that he told Tang Jianhua about the sharp reduction in the production of raw materials outside the province for the first time that day, he guessed that the company might have to make a big move, but it would not be like Tang Jianhua revealed in his words, and he was not sure in his heart.
But it is certain that it is a good thing overall, such a good opportunity, really to be able to expand the scale of operation by two or three times, next year's benefits will definitely not be wrong, if you can really give yourself a car, it will be beautiful.
In Tang Jianhua's heart, this matter is almost nine times out of ten. According to his plan, next year's benefits are desirable, and it only costs a few dollars to allocate a few cars to a few henchmen, which is not a matter at all.
He himself has long been optimistic about an original imported off-road vehicle, a seven-seater, four-wheel drive, eight-cylinder engine, the wheels are as wide as the wheels of a Boeing 737, even if you drive it in the desert, it will not fall, then it is called a car!
What kind of thing is my Santana now, it doesn't match my identity at all. Next year, when the benefits are good, I will first change my special car, and then buy a few Santanas, and delegate them to the following business managers together with my current one.
Of course, the price of that car is nearly one million, and the fuel consumption is very large, which is much more expensive than Wu Bin's current special car, which is a bit eye-catching, and it is a big deal to find a way to persuade Wu Bin to change to a good car when the time comes, anyway, there is no shortage of money.
In addition, there is one more thing that he has been looking forward to for a long time. After the deputy general manager in charge of business of the head office retired from illness, this position has been vacant. If the performance of his branch is particularly outstanding this year, the promotion of his position is undoubtedly the best endorsement.
The prospect promised by Tang Jianhua has made several confidant business managers look forward to the coming year. Several people ate and drank from after work until more than nine o'clock, stimulated by alcohol and dreams, and after they were full of wine and food, they went to the song hall to sing and play until the early hours of the morning.
There was no news of Li Xin for a few days, and Li Ying, who was tormented by longing and indescribable emotional longing, couldn't sleep at night, called Li Xin's office several times, and "beep... The beep kept ringing, but no one answered, which added to her anxiety and longing.
Li Xin has been gone for eight days, didn't he say that he had been there for two weeks? It's been more than a week, why is there no news at all?
Thousands of miles away, at this time, Li Xin was sitting tiredly in the car speeding on the winding mountain road, and his heart was once again shrouded in heavy dark clouds.
For the previous seven days, the group checked out after breakfast every day to visit the local sugarcane planting area and sugar factory, and then took a short rest after dinner before driving to the next destination.
On this journey, Li Xin felt like a march and a battle, always on the road.
When he stopped the car, Master Yang was resting in the car, and Li Xin wanted to understand the situation like everyone else. After getting in the car, Master Yang drove, Mr. Wu, Yu Shuhua and Xia Xiaona could take a nap, Li Xin couldn't sleep no matter how sleepy he was, he wanted to take a pen and a highway traffic map to Master Yang as a navigator.
Wu Bin's heart is cloudless and sunny. According to the sugarcane planting areas and sugar mills along the way, the sugarcane output in the province has been reduced by at least 20%, and the sugar output in the new crushing season will also be reduced by a corresponding amount. He couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, the step of expanding the scale of business was the right one.
Although the information he learned along the way supported the rise in sugar prices, what made Li Xin most uneasy was that since the first day of departure, he had lost contact with the commodity exchange, and he didn't know anything about the current price of sugar futures!
The market outlook is bullish, which does not mean that it can rise now. There are many examples of falling down before rising and then pulling up.
The inability to get in touch with the commodity exchange made Li Xin more and more restless!
Wu Bin carried the big brother phone with him, but there was no signal when he left Jiangcheng, and the big brother phone could not be used at all in the sugarcane planting areas and sugar factories of neighboring provinces.
During the day, when I was out on the field, I couldn't find a place where I could make long-distance calls, and after staying in the hotel at night, I could make long-distance calls, but there was no one in the exchange office late at night.
Li Xin and the exchange are in a state of disconnection!
He regretted that he didn't leave Zhang Jin and their other contact information, even if there was a phone number from any of the three of them, he would not be so helpless.
This morning, the group went to the largest Gangdu sugar factory in Guidong Province to inspect the factory, and after having lunch at the sugar factory, they immediately rushed to the provincial capital, and in the afternoon they are expected to visit the president of the provincial sugar company.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the hotel. After checking in at the hotel lobby, everyone took the elevator upstairs with their luggage.
Mr. Wu took out a business card and handed it to Xia Xiaona, saying: "The boss of Guidong Provincial Sugar Company is surnamed Qin, you contact him to see if it is convenient for him at half past three in the afternoon, and we will visit him." ”
Then he said to everyone, "Let's take a break and leave at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Li Xin put his luggage in the room, saw that the time was already a quarter past two o'clock, and said to Master Yang: "Master Yang, you take a rest, I'll go on a long-distance call, I haven't been in touch with home for several days." After speaking, he quickly took the elevator downstairs, came to the business center in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and dialed the long-distance phone number of Zhang Jin's office.
Li Xin held the phone in his hand, his heart was pounding, he had been anxious to make this call for a few days, and now that the phone was in his hand, he was a little panicked, and he didn't know what kind of news would be waiting for him after the phone was connected.
As soon as his eyes were closed, he comforted himself with a heart and said: "Stretching out your head and stabbing your head, shrinking your head is also a knife, what should come will always come, it's useless to hide!"
In just a few tens of seconds, it made him feel so long.
The phone rang, and it was Zhang Jin who answered the phone. As soon as he heard Li Xin's voice, he immediately said excitedly and loudly: "Oh! Li Xin, it's you! I haven't found you anywhere these days, and without your news, where have you gone?"
When Li Xin heard his tone, his heart was cold, and he thought, "Oh no! Could it be that something that has been worrying about me for the past few days has happened?"
He asked helplessly and nervously, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
When Zhang Jin heard Li Xin's nervous tone, he knew that what he had just said had misunderstood Li Xin, so he hurriedly explained: "No, no, don't worry." The price of sugar is not falling, but soaring! Today is already the fourth price limit! We are anxious to inform you to close the position at a profit, but we can't find you, and you don't contact us, your heart is too big, do you know what the current price is?"
