Compared with the downpour on the North Lake, the sun is still shining on the Central Plains.

Zhang Haoming returned to Luohe with his wife and children, and before getting off the highway, he called Wang Quan to make an appointment to eat together at noon.

Zhang Haoming's daughter-in-law is a gentle-looking woman named Xu Lan. With light makeup on her face, she always keeps smiling, and she doesn't talk much, but every time someone talks to her, she can feel the sincerity and kindness in her smile, and it is completely unreasonable with Zhang Haoming's unreasonableness at home.

His son Zhang Yue is fifteen years old this year, and his face is very similar to Zhang Haoming, and his figure is also thin, but his height is quite good, and he is already more than 1.7 meters tall. Zhang Yue showed that he was in a good state, his eyes were smart, and he didn't feel restrained at all when he spoke, and he could answer questions freely, but occasionally when he mentioned his academic performance, his face would show a trace of unnaturalness.

"Their school was selected to become the college entrance examination room, in order to make way for the college entrance examination, the middle school student was on vacation, just taking advantage of these days to take him out for a walk. ”

Wang Quan has no children and rarely cares about students' affairs, and only after hearing Zhang Haoming's answer did he remember that the college entrance examination would be due in a few days, and his mind couldn't help but recall the picture of his college entrance examination. At that time, his academic performance was not good, and he obviously couldn't get into college, and the college entrance examination was not much different from a two-day trip for Wang Quan. But even so, the scene of the whole family going out at that time, and the street closure near the school gate was enough for Wang Quan to remember for a lifetime.

Towards the end of the dinner, Zhang Haoming took the initiative to mention the subcontractor's arrangement, "I communicated with the subcontractors before the accident, and I have already made the specific arrangements, so I just need to notify them to come over and sign a new subcontract." When I got off the expressway, I had already asked the internal staff to call one by one, and it is estimated that subcontractors will come in the afternoon. ”

Wang Quan nodded lightly, "You just have to make arrangements." ”

said, and said with a smile: "The things that need to be dealt with in the near future are basically arranged, you hurry up and take your sister-in-law and children out to play for a few days, and you should be busy again after a few days." ”

......

When I came out of Zhongyi Food Co., Ltd., there was already standing water on the road, and every time a vehicle drove by, it would splash high.

"Brother Dong, why did you cut down 500,000 yuan? If we can pay to buy their equipment, we can already help him. ”

Wang Fugui bluntly complained that Lin Dong bargained too little.

Qi Weiqiang, who was sitting in the back row, did not speak, but his eyes looked at Lin Dong who was driving from time to time, he had already explained the situation of this batch of equipment to Lin Dong in detail, plus the debt situation of the boss provided by Wang Fugui, I dare not say more, there should be no problem with pressing down one hundred thousand, right?

"500,000 is already a lot, that Bian Ziqiang is already on the verge of a nervous breakdown, you think about his tone on the phone in the car, at the beginning he could still deal with it with a smiling face, and then he became impatient, now every penny is precious to him, if we force it too hard, it is very likely that he will break the jar. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Lin Dong smiled faintly, "Didn't Wei Qiang say it, there is basically nothing wrong with the equipment, and you can start work directly if you change places." 500,000 is enough for us to ship the equipment back and reinstall it. Besides, didn't they give us a set of cold storage equipment? ”

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the wipers are swinging rapidly, and you can barely see the road ahead, and there are fewer and fewer vehicles visible on the road. Lin Dong said worriedly: "With such a heavy rain, the shipment will definitely be delayed." ”

For the sake of safety, the driving speed has not been able to go up, and it was already close to evening when Lin Dong returned to Jiangcheng with Qi Weiqiang, and the phone rang several times on the road Lin Dong did not answer.

"You rest here first, I'll ask the company how to arrange this batch of equipment, and then you may need to lead a team to split the equipment and transport it back to Luohe." ”

After opening the room for Qi Weiqiang and returning to the room, Lin Dong began to reply to the people who called in the afternoon. Two of the missed calls were from Dou Yuanyang, and the remaining few were from Beihu Xiong.

"Mr. Lin, is it also raining in Beihu?"

As soon as the phone was connected, he heard Dou Yuanyang's eager voice, Lin Dong nodded in response, and asked casually: "It's also raining over there in Nanhu?"

"Not only Nanhu, it is raining in the whole south, especially in Sichuan Province, there have been two landslides in the afternoon, and the access roads in and out of two counties have been blocked. Now it's just that the traffic is blocked, and it won't affect normal life for the time being, but the weather forecast says that the rain will last for many days, I estimate ......" Dou Yuanyang smiled bitterly, and then asked with concern: "Mr. Lin, if there is nothing big about Beihu, the shipment must not be delayed." In the event of something more serious, rising prices are an inevitable consequence. ”

After listening to Dou Yuanyang's words, Lin Dong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it that serious?"

"Do you think I'm worrying about nothing?"

Dou Yuanyang asked rhetorically and then continued: "The mountainous areas are more afraid of natural disasters than the plains, and if you really dare to do it for a few days in a row, it will definitely affect the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people." It's no exaggeration to say that I'm going to ask you to prepare a batch of stock for me, just in case. ”

Lin Dong didn't know if Dou Yuanyang's worry was necessary, but he knew from his tone that he wasn't joking, and he became nervous at the moment.

After Dou Yuanyang's phone hung up, Lin Dong hesitated for a short time, and he was hesitating whether to call Wang Quan first or call Beihu Xiong and them a few times first. In the end, I chose to call them back to the North Lake Bears, and if they had any special needs, it would be good to give feedback to the company at one time.

After calling Beihu Xiong one by one, Lin Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The main purpose of the call was not to make a request, but to inquire about the situation of the slaughterhouse that Lin Dong introduced last time.

Especially the shriveled old man surnamed Chu, although he didn't explain it directly when he called, Lin Dong could feel that he was with a trace of dissatisfaction, according to the meaning of the surname Chu, Jiuding Commerce and Trade should control as much of the slaughterhouse resources in Beihu as possible in their own hands as soon as possible, and it is convenient for them to act.

After pondering for a while, Lin Dong called Wang Quan and briefly said Dou Yuanyang's thoughts, "Beihu Xiong has just received a new batch of goods, obviously wanting us to add fire to the Beihu market, so that they can raise the price openly. These people want to seize the opportunity to make more money, and they don't know how to say that they are suitable. ”

Wang Quan didn't react much after hearing this, and only then did he say: "Dou Yuanyang is not the kind of person who deliberately lies in order to ask for goods, although we can't understand his worries at this time, but we still have to support it." In this way, I asked the yard here in the Central Plains to prepare a batch of goods for him as much as possible, and send them directly to Sichuan Province after they are ready. It's rainy weather in the south at this time, since Dou Yuanyang has reminded us, you should pay more attention over there. ”

After a slight pause, Wang Quan suddenly laughed softly: "From the very beginning, Beihu Xiong and they have taken the initiative to help us contact the farm, isn't it just to make profits from it? We can win the contracting rights of so many slaughterhouses in Beihu so quickly, I dare not say that it all depends on the help of others, at least half of it is the credit of others." But then again, if it is a field with a particularly low production capacity, there is no need for us to invest more energy at this time, after all, there are more important things to do in front of us. ”

"You talk to the subcontractors in the North Lakes area, and if any of them are interested, you can give them the factories. But there is one rule, you must bring other subcontractors together, and there must be no situation where one person eats the next field. ”

......

Marriott didn't want to contact Lao Hu, but today's weather was too bad, and he had nothing to do all day in the hotel alone, so he called Lao Hu and made an appointment to drink together in the evening.

Lao Hu was indeed a little surprised when he first received the call, and when he knew that Marriott was shouting and drinking, he immediately showed great enthusiasm, and after asking Marriott's opinion, he called several familiar office managers.

Zhao Lin didn't shout, his eldest brother had just taken over as the head of the market, and he estimated that he was preparing for the three fires of the new official to take office, more than one thing is better than less, let's just have fun ourselves. ”

Lao Hu took the initiative to say something, and then said: "You say the place, and we'll go over together." ”

Marriott also heard about Cao Jinhua's promotion, and when he heard Lao Hu say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and reported a position that he often went to.

At six o'clock in the evening, Marriott arrived at the booked place in advance, and in just about ten minutes, Lao Hu walked into the box with three office managers. These people are all people who have a good relationship with Marriott, and after they came in, they directly joked: "What do you call Manager Wan now?"

When Marriott came back a few days ago to hand over the work, they knew that Marriott was going to Jiuding Commerce, and they didn't expect to meet again so soon. Looking at Marriott playfully one by one, some people were anxious and asked directly without waiting for Marriott's answer: "What is Jiuding Commerce and Trade like?

It's time to get off work, and besides, they're all old fritters who have been in the workplace for so many years, who doesn't want to make their relationship network bigger? They discussed Jiuding Commerce and Trade unscrupulously, but Lao Hu turned a deaf ear to look at them nonsense, but his ears were quietly pricked up, and he also wanted to hear the real treatment of Marriott in Jiuding Commerce.

Marriott smiled bitterly, pretended to be dejected, and said: "Don't mention it, I was taught a lesson by King Song Yan on the first day of the report, and I didn't leave any affection at all." Now I'm just an ordinary salesman, doing dirty work. ”

"I can't!"

An office manager who was about the same age as Lao Hu looked at Marriott in disbelief, "Anyway, you also followed King Song Yan to the past, even if you can't be called a henchman, you can almost be regarded as a descendant army, right?"

"That's right, you can rest assured and boldly say, we promise not to eat with you. Another office manager didn't believe it.

Lao Hu didn't say a word, and studied the menu with a faint smile on his face.

"What did I lie to you, I reported it for half a day, and I was kicked out the next day without talking about the salary or anything, even Liang Feng and Zheng Jinqiu were treated the same, there is no need to talk nonsense about this. Marriott sighed again, then shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk about my business, let's only eat today and don't talk about business." ”

Speaking of eating, Lao Hu took the lead in ordering a dish, and then passed the menu to the people next to him, looking at Marriott and laughing: "Lin Dong, who is in charge of Jiuding Commerce's business, is in Jiangcheng, if you don't take the initiative to go to the bye-bye pier and actually call us to eat together, aren't you afraid that the leader will know about giving you small shoes?"

Lao Hu's words attracted the side glances of the other three people, and the office manager who had not spoken just now looked at Marriott with a curious expression and asked: "Mr. Hu reminded me like this, I suddenly thought of a question, what is the position of King Song Yan in Jiuding Trading? I heard that this Lin Dong is one of the shareholders of Jiuding Trading, and he is a business background, is it possible that King Song Yama wants to rob Lin Dong of the job he is responsible for?"

As soon as he asked, the room instantly fell silent, and even Lao Hu looked at Marriott with interest. Song Pengfei has always been responsible for business work in Sanhui, and he is not good at letting him do other things. Could it be that just joining Jiuding Commerce and Trade is going to carry out a power seizure activity?

Marriott hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again, "To be honest, I don't know what the specific work of King Song Yama is, but the big boss of Jiuding Commerce and Trade and Lin Dong have a very good attitude towards King Song Yama, and I can feel that they respect King Song Yama's opinion very much." ”

In the end, he smiled bitterly and said: "Really, I don't know what the treatment of King Song Yan is, anyway, we don't know what kind of treatment we can get, and now we are all working in a daze." ”

Marriott's answer made them look at each other, but they didn't continue to ask. After eating and drinking, the old thief smiled and proposed to play cards for a while, Marriott first nodded, then shook his head and said: "It's okay to play for a while, but you can't fight all night like before, and I still have something to do tomorrow if the weather improves." ”

The managers of the three offices walked to the familiar chess and card room first, and Lao Hu and Marriott stayed to settle the bill. After Marriott finished settling the bill, the two came out of the hotel, and Lao Hu said with a smile: "If you need help this time, I will tell them directly, as long as it does not violate the company's principles, don't worry." ”

Marriott could hear the sincerity in Lao Hu's words, nodded lightly, and then the two followed to the chess and card room. By the time they arrived, the room was already filled with thick tea, cigarettes were on the table, and the familiar images made Marriott understand that they were preparing for a protracted battle.

"The old rules, no?"

Lao Hu sat down, looked up at Marriott and smiled.

The old rules of old nonsense is to play mahjong in accordance with the rules of Luohe, according to the previous agreement, the cannon can not win, can only win by touching the winning cards, whether it is an open bar or a hidden bar, or a bar touched after touching the cards, are fifty dollars, double the winning cards by self-drawing.

This kind of play is not too big, nor is it small.

The older office manager took the initiative to pull a chair and sit aside, and said with a smile: "I'll watch the game, you guys play." ”

Marriott and the other two office managers did not push, and after sitting down, they played the dice with ease, and after each drew their cards, there was a casual chat.

"Just now you said that all the work you are doing now is dirty and tiring work, what's the matter?"

Lao Hu sat on the east side, and Marriott sat across from him. When the card was played, Lao Hu asked seemingly unintentionally, and the corners of Marriott's mouth raised slightly, and he also pretended to be careless and said: "It's the work done by ordinary salesmen, and visiting customers to collect information are all errand goods." ”

The office manager who was sitting at Marriott smiled when he heard this, took over the topic and said: "The channels of Jiuding Commerce and Trade are already so powerful, do you still need to work so hard to open up channels?"

"What you said, can't people open up some new business?"

The office manager sitting on the north side stretched out his hand to draw cards, perhaps he had caught some good cards, and he smiled very brightly, and then said: "Recruiting so many business personnel at one time, I heard that there are people from the processing plant, and there are obviously big plans. ”

After playing a card, the man glanced at Lao Hu without a trace, and saw that Lao Hu's expression did not change significantly, and he looked at Marriott and said with a wicked smile: "You won't come here this time to dig the foot of the wall, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was immediately quiet.

Marriott's face was as usual and he reached out to grab the card, and after finding that it was useless, he threw it out without hesitation, and said with a smile: "How ugly it is to dig the foot of the wall, to be precise, it should be an integrated sales channel." What Manager Li said just now is very right, the channels of Jiuding Commerce and Trade are already very powerful, and many of these channels overlap with other companies. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to look around fiercely, and asked in a gloomy voice, "If we really want to dig a channel, can you stop it?"

Lao Hu smiled when he heard this, and replied directly: "Look, the villain on TV is his face." If you can't stop it, let's not talk about it for the time being, if you speak nicely, I will let you have less blood tonight. ”

Lao Hu showed a nonchalant attitude, the other three office managers are all human spirits, seeing Lao Hu say this, he immediately understood, and the office manager who was watching the game cooperated with Lao Hu and said: "Mr. Hu is right, the posture is correct and the words are good, the brothers are looking at the past love and turning a blind eye, otherwise, tsk tsk......"

When Marriott didn't resign from Sanhui, he was able to get along with them, and his brain was naturally not stupid. Knowing that they were giving themselves a step, they immediately made a look of admit, quickly picked up the cigarette in front of him, behaved extremely flatteringly, gave them cigarettes one by one, and finally lit them for himself and said with a smile: "Eat people with short mouths and soft hands, you have eaten and smoked, and then I will not be polite!"
