Chapter 8: A Big Deal
Liu Hong waited in the company for a while, and it didn't take long for Fang Shirong to rush over.
"Shirong, you're here! Sit down, I'll pour you tea!" Liu Hong saw Fang Shirong come in, and hurriedly poured water for him.
"It's okay, Lao Liu, do you still want to be polite!" Fang Shirong sat on the sofa and put his bag beside him.
"Is there anything to do with me?"
"No, I just want to ask how your business is lately?" Fang Shirong asked with concern.
"Why did you come up with the idea of asking this? You see that now that the end of the year, isn't it clear at a glance the situation of my company?" Liu Hong shook his head helplessly.
"Actually, I heard some time ago that it's not easy to do any business now. Fang Shirong also felt that his big hotel was renovated to attract customers because of the decline in business.
"You came here just for this?" Liu Hong felt that Fang Shirong was making a fuss, these words could be talked about at any time, why were you in such a hurry.
Fang Shirong listened, a little hesitant. He stopped talking, and then said, "I don't know if I can help you with this!"
"What is it? Tell me and listen to it!" Liu Hong said.
"The other day, I went out to dinner and met the CEO of a company who had a batch of equipment to be made of. I thought of you at the time, so I kept an eye on him and asked him for a business card. Fang Shirong slowly took out a business card from his handbag.
Liu Hong took the business card, looked at "Hongfa International", and then asked, "Where is this company?"
"I heard that in Shanghai, it's a big business. Fang Shirong said.
"Why don't I find out?" Liu Hong felt that it was really bright.
"If it's okay, I'll go over with you to have a look, I've had dinner with the boss of their company, so it's better than someone you don't know. Fang Shirong said tentatively.
"That's great! Or we'll drive over now, and we'll be on the highway for an hour and a half." Liu Hong was very excited.
"Okay, I'll make a phone call to Xi Hong, and you can also talk to Zhang Mei, maybe you will stay in Shanghai for a few days when the time comes. ”
"Okay, you go and fight, and then drive my car over. ”
"Okay!" Fang Shirong finished speaking and went out to call.
As the saying goes, "rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out", not to mention a close friend like Fang Shirong for decades. Therefore, Liu Hong did not doubt it at all, and was very grateful to Fang Shirong for sending charcoal in the snow.
When they came to Shanghai, Fang Shirong and Liu Hong searched for the address on the business card. It turns out that this is a large enterprise in the center of the Bund! The scale of the company is very large, and you must know that the strength of the company should not be underestimated if there is such a large building in the center of Shanghai, where every inch of land is at a premium.
"Shirong, this company is so magnificent!" Liu Hong looked at the skyscraper in front of him and exclaimed.
"Well, yes!" I don't know why Fang Shirong's mood is not high, it seems that he still has something on his mind.
"Hey, Shirong, if you find a way to get in touch, let's invite the CEO of their company to have a meal and have a good talk!" Liu Hong's eyes were full of expectation, he hadn't had this opportunity to cooperate with a large company for a long time.
"Okay, I'll call and try!" Fang Shirong said.
"Okay, you can go quickly!"
Fang Shirong went to the car and made a long phone call, and his face was not very happy when he got out of the car.
"What's the matter, haven't you been contacted?" Liu Hong hurriedly asked.
"Well, that's not true, it's just that the boss is not in Shanghai today, and he said he could talk about it tomorrow night. Fang Shirong's eyes looked at the building in front of him thoughtfully.
"Tomorrow night, tomorrow night, people are big companies, where you want to make an appointment, let's stay in Shanghai for one night today. Liu Hong was very happy, he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
"Well, then I'll listen to you. Fang Shirong said.
After a brief meal in Shanghai that night, the two of them found an ordinary hotel to live in.
After each returned to his room, Liu Hong called his daughter Liu Liu.
"Hey, Dad, what are you doing?" Liu Liu was setting off fireworks with Fang Fei,
"Dad is talking about some business in Shanghai, how are you having a good time there?" Liu Hong was happy when he heard his daughter's voice.
"It's good here, and you and your mother will come and have fun in the future. It's the New Year soon, are you still busy?" Liu Liu said distressedly.
"It's okay, we'll talk about it tomorrow. You guys have a lot of fun there, and when you come back, call your dad to pick you up at the airport. ”
"Okay, I will. Dad, go to bed early, be careful outside!
"Okay, hang up!" After Liu Liu hung up the phone, Liu Hong put the phone on the bedside table. This daughter is her biggest concern.
The next night, Liu Hong and Fang Shirong had dinner with Mr. Zhang of Hongfa International, and everyone talked happily at the dinner table. It turned out that Mr. Zhang was also a soldier, and Liu Hong had a good impression of him.
"Mr. Liu, if you are interested, you can come over and talk about the details after the New Year, but you have to remember the main points I just said!" Mr. Zhang is the same age as Liu Hong, and he looks very calm.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll think about it. Then thank you Mr. Zhang today, I will have the opportunity to come to Yishi in the future, and everyone will get together again!" Liu Hong and Mr. Zhang shook hands, and everyone separated after a while of greetings.
Fang Shirong, who was standing on the side, didn't speak, he looked a little uncomfortable, but Liu Hong didn't care.
"Shirong, why don't we go back to Yishi now, and the New Year will be in a few days. "Liu Hong wants to go home when he talks about good things, and he is very worried about his family.
"Okay, then I'll drive, I didn't drink just now. Fang Shirong took the key in Liu Hong's hand and went to open the door.
Along the way, Liu Hong was very excited, and he kept talking.
Fang Shirong seemed to have been thinking about something, he listened silently and did not interject.
After a long time, Fang Shirong spoke: "Lao Liu, you really want to do this business, right?"
"Of course, who wouldn't want to do such a big business!"
But Mr. Zhang just said a very important point. ”
"I know that he is saying that he wants my early funds to be guaranteed, that is, I want to advance funds. ”
"That's going to be a lot of money, and the big companies have a long payment cycle, do you think clearly?"
"If you have a contract, you are not afraid, and besides, such a big company will still be a liar?" Liu Hong disagreed.
"Can you get that money? I think it's at least 10 million or so. Fang Shirong seemed to be a little worried.
"To tell you the truth, I've been losing money in the past few years, and if there is no big order, the company won't last long and will go out of business. I still have the money, it is Liu Liu's dowry and my pension money, and now I have to use this first. ”
"Then have you figured it out?" Fang Shirong asked again.
"Well, I'm sure I'm going to make this business!" Liu Hong said firmly, looking outside the car.
At the beginning of the year, Liu Fangfei and Liu Liu came back from Heilongjiang. Because it was a night flight, Liu Liu did not call Liu Hong. When she returned home with local produce, her parents had not yet gotten up.
Zhang Mei heard the sound of the door opening, happily put on a dress and went downstairs.
"Is Liu Liu back? Why don't you call us!" I haven't seen each other for a few days, and Zhang Mei can't think about it.
"Oh, Mom, wake you up! What about my dad, is he still sleeping?" Liu Liu put down his luggage and hurriedly came over to be coquettish.
"He had a few more drinks with your uncle last night, and he's still sleeping!"
"Then don't wake him up, what about you, don't go and lie down for a while, it's still early!"
"I'm not sleeping, Mom will cook you something to eat, and you can make up for sleep when you're done!" Zhang Mei walked into the kitchen.
"Thank you, Mom, then I'll go up and tidy it up first, and I'll come down later!"
After Liu Liu came back, the atmosphere at home became active again.
On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Hong went to Shanghai to sign the contract. After signing the contract, he began to get busy, and two days later, Liu Liu also started school, this time Liu Hong was not available, it was Zhang Mei who sent her on the train.
As soon as I arrived at school, I started to get busy again. This semester I have to finish all the basic courses, so the study task is very heavy.
Liu Hong's business is going very well, and he is the last chance this time, almost staking all his net worth and his life.
On this day, Liu Hong was in the company and was about to go home, and Zhang Mei called to say that Fang Shirong and his wife were waiting for him at home, so he hurriedly drove home. Because of what happened last time, he didn't have a chance to thank Fang Shirong.
"Shirong, Xi Hong is here!" Liu Hong greeted as soon as he entered the door.
"Lao Liu, you're still so busy!" Xi Hong said.
"I've been busy with the business introduced by Shirong, and I haven't had time to thank Shirong yet!"
"Lao Liu, are you still polite with Shirong?" Xi Hong was very good at talking, but Fang Shirong, who was on the side, bowed his head and was silent.
Liu Hong sat on the sofa and saw that Fang Shirong seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked with concern, "Are you in trouble?" Why didn't Shirong speak?"
Xi Hong pushed Fang Shirong beside him, but Fang Shirong still didn't say anything.
"Shirong, if you have something, let's talk about it, everyone's friend for so many years, what else do you have to scruple about?" Liu Hong continued to ask.
"Uh, Lao Liu, Shirong can't speak, it's like this......" Xi Hong said in embarrassment, and was interrupted by Fang Shirong before he finished speaking.
"Don't mix up, I have my own number!" Fang Shirong was very angry.
"If you have a number, just say it!Why can't you open your mouth?" Xi Hong also raised his voice.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be about to quarrel, Zhang Mei hurriedly pulled Xi Hong away and said, "Why don't you and I sit next door and let the two of them talk." ”
Xi Hong was pulled away by Zhang Mei, and then Liu Hong asked: "Say it quickly, I can definitely help, what do you say?"
"Old Liu ......" Fang Shirong wanted to speak and stopped.
"Come on, how did you become such a mother-in-law?"
"Lao Liu, I really can't say it, this matter is too embarrassing for you. Fang Shirong's face was embarrassed.
"You didn't say how you know how to be embarrassed?"
"That's it, my big hotel renovation is now greatly overspending, I want
Bank loans, but there is a lack of a guarantor. ”
"Oh, that's right!" Liu Hong listened, and fell into deep thought.
"How big of a funding gap do you have?" Liu Hong asked.
"There are at least 20 million left, I took out all my savings, the house was mortgaged, I borrowed everything that should be borrowed, and now I have invested 20 million. Fang Shirong hugged his head and was very distressed.
Liu Hong stood up and walked around the living room, he thought for a while, and said to Fang Shirong: "I guarantee you, I still have this villa!"
Fang Shirong listened, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he stayed there all the time. After a while, his throat was a little choked, and he said, "Lao Liu, I don't know how to thank you......"
"Needless to say, it's good to pass this level, I'll go through the formalities with you tomorrow!"
