After sending Ren Zhengyi away, it was almost late October, and Gu Biao's affairs in the capital were almost done, and it should have been time to go back to Qiantang or Xiangjiang.

Xiao Sui was in Hujiang for a while, so he just helped Gu Biao take away the gifts that were given to his friends in Hujiang. Gu Biao also left some big brother mobile phones by his side, which he was originally going to bring back to Qiantang in person to send his relatives and the most ironclad close friends.

However, in the last two days in the capital, Gu Biao received an unexpected phone call in his garden, and met an old friend who was originally going to return to Qiantang before contacting.

It was his middle school classmate Ma Feng.

Gu Biao was a little surprised, but he was still very happy to receive the other party.

He asked a little surprised on the phone: "Ah Feng, why are you in the capital, I am still ready to contact you again when I go back to Qiantang, if you don't have time, I plan to send someone to deliver the gift to your house." ”

Ma Feng: "Brother Gu, look at what you said! If it is useful to me, how dare I not be available? I came to the capital this time, and I got some special licenses. A few days ago, I caught up with you and you were on the news again, and you also debuted Big Brother, I know so many big things, you must be in the capital. ”

Gu Biao: "I didn't say that, come to me for a drink, don't go back when you're drunk, have you finished your business here?" ”

Gu Wei hung up the phone and told the maid to be ready.

Counting the age, he and Ma Feng have not had business intersection for a few years, after all, Gu Biao's business is getting bigger and bigger, and Ma Feng's ability is gradually unable to keep up with his rhythm, so it is naturally impossible to be Gu Biao's right-hand man all the time.

However, this does not mean that Gu Biao has not been in touch with Ma Feng over the years. As classmates and friends, they still drink together during the New Year's holidays, but the exchange of interests gradually fades. Gu Biao also knows Ma Feng's situation in the past four years.

In his early years, Ma Feng was also studying and teaching as an English teacher, while doing some small businesses in the publishing industry and translation industry.

You must know that Ma Feng achieved this level before 1982, and it was not easy.

Ren Zhengyi, who decided to resign from Huaxing Communications and go to the sea to do business a while ago, has only tens of thousands of savings since he relied on the income of central enterprises to support his life.

Gu Biao's business partners of more than one million yuan are all Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen, and there are no mainlanders. The rich people in the mainland are just about to take off.

In the middle of 82, when Gu Biao officially completed his leave without pay and went to the United States to complete the last 5 semesters of doctoral studies with Ji Singer, in order to help Ma Feng, who was trapped in teaching at the university at the time, he justifiably entrusted himself to the profession of a teacher.

At that time, I entrusted some relations and asked the foreign capital management unit in the province to recommend Ma Feng to the top under the pretext of "excellent internship performance". Ma Feng received an order from the relevant departments of foreign trade and economic cooperation and was transferred to the capital to take up a post.

(Americans have three semesters in an academic year.) Looking back at the previous article, Gu Biao went to study for a semester at that time, and then came back to hand over the job for a year under the pretext of returning to work, and then went to the United States in May 82, and graduated in January 84 and returned to China. ）

Later, Ma Feng worked in the relevant departments of foreign trade and economic cooperation for two years, until 84 years, Gu Biao made a transition in Huaxing Communications, and soon after he successfully left his post and went to the sea, Ma Feng also found an excuse to start a business by himself.

Ma Feng's original plan was that if Brother Gu was useful to him, he would go to Brother Gu to do great things together. However, Gu Biao didn't seem to summon him at that time, and he thought that his ability and Gu Biao's business did not have much to do with him, so naturally he couldn't resist the temptation of being his boss, and wanted to try it himself.

The main reason is that during the two years when he was in the relevant departments of foreign trade and economic cooperation, because of his diligence and hard work, he also got some opportunities to go abroad to liaise with economic and trade cooperation, and to inspect and observe. I also saw many new opportunities for Americans more profoundly, and I couldn't help but want to go back to China to gamble.

People are always changing, especially after their horizons are broadened, their minds are alive, and they always feel that opportunities are everywhere, so there is no pity.

It's just that he has been the boss for two years since he started his own business, and it seems that he has not been particularly successful, so he can only be regarded as suffering a lot, further understanding the difference between the business environment of China and the United States, and sharpening his mind.

Regarding the details of his business, Gu Biao has always taken care of Ma Feng's face, and he hasn't asked Ma Feng much when he drinks during the New Year's holidays in the past two years.

After all, his own business is so big, if he asks the other party what his business is doing, it will inevitably make people feel that he has the intention to compare, isn't it a shame.

……

Within a few hours of the call, Ma Feng came to the door in a big way.

There is no restraint at all with other partners such as Ren Zhengyi.

Gu Biao didn't talk to him politely, he didn't go out to greet him, and he didn't get up to shake hands.

It was the maid in Gu Biao's mansion who walked straight into the living room with Ma Feng. Then Gu Biao sat on the custom-made sofa with mahogany frame and calfskin surface, crossed Erlang's legs and held a cigar, beckoned his finger and motioned for Ma Feng to sit on his side.

Ma Feng also sat down without saying a word.

Gu Biao "snapped" lightly, and took out a big brother in a leather case on the coffee table: "You take this big brother first, although there is no signal in Qiantang's hometown, but you can still fight when you go to the capital Hujiang on a business trip." ”

Gu Ao's posture is not the kind of gentle placement, nor is it a heavy beat, so it will not appear to be cautious, nor will it be reckless to the extent that it will break the precision electronic equipment.

The leather case for the mobile phone has a plain appearance and no decoration, but the leather material used is definitely the top crocodile leather. Moreover, between the two layers of leather is lined with pearl cotton shock absorption, Gu Biao has no problem with a slight loss of this strength.

Ma Feng smiled and pulled the eldest brother back, and accepted it calmly: "That's not whether there is no return, big brother, you know me, I never be polite to you." ”

Gu Biao smiled and pushed Ma Feng's shoulder: "You are still not polite to me? No matter how big or small you are, you are not afraid that one day Lao Tzu will 'share hardships and hardships, but not wealth and prosperity'?"

Ma Feng and Gu Biao can be regarded as a friendship that has fought together since they were in junior high school, and they can be regarded as poor friends. That's why Ma Feng didn't follow Gu Biao. Listening to Gu Biao beating like this, he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Even if the eldest brother can't be as rich and noble, I can also be a model, the times are different, no matter how strong you are, you can't make all the money in the world, you can't do the birds, how can you wait for the dog to cook?

In other words, when you repaired the Song Liuling Museum a few years ago, you also rebuilt the Yue Wang's Mausoleum, and you won't be considered rich and noble to repair the ancestral tomb. ”

Ma Feng is also a scholar, and his words are half-joking, but they also have some basis.

The history of the Hui Ji Gu clan originated from the Yue King Goujian VII grandson Wuyu, at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the Han Dynasty to scratch Chu, by the Han Emperor Gu Yu Marquis title, after which the title of the clan, there was a Hui Ji Gu clan.

But it's been thousands of years, the old things are gone, the ghost knows what kind of inheritance, and Gu Biao has never said that. To put it mildly, Wu Yue's sorrow, at least hundreds of thousands of people with the same surname, where can there be so many evidence.

It's a pity that after he became developed, there were sycophants in ten miles and eight towns who would attach themselves to the horses.

Even a few years ago, when Gu Biao was playing Lanting Cinema, he donated money to repair museums and protect some monuments, but they were all far-fetched and misinterpreted in his hometown. There are rumors that Gu Biao did charity to protect ancient culture, and it is true that the ancestral tomb is displayed to show the glory of the ancestors. It was so troublesome that Gu Wei couldn't explain it at all.

There are even some local businessmen who please Gu Biao, and when they go to visit scenic spots and historic sites during the New Year's holidays, they also specially offer incense, which is really crying and laughing.

Whoever made Li Shimin developed back then, he had to test his ancestor as Taishang Laojun (Lao Tzu), the world speculated casually, thinking that Gu Biao was as vulgar as Li Shimin, so he could only clear himself.

However, it is not excluded that some people think that Gu Wei's old yin beep attribute has a bloodline inheritance, so they speculate like this - you see, they are all the kind of people who call you brothers and sisters with a smile on their faces, and they don't know how to lie down and taste courage and forbearance behind their backs, and they have been the seed of the Voldemort Frog for a long time, and they will give you a shot in the back when they see the opportunity to kill.

Ma Feng is also a native of Qiantang, so he knows the gossip spread among the people, so he said it casually.

Gu Ao's face darkened slightly, he actually didn't like this joke very much. However, he also realized that he himself made a wrong joke today, and he shouldn't have beaten Ma Feng with the allusion of "you can share weal and woe, but you can't be rich and noble", so you can't blame Ma Feng for answering Fan Li's allusion.

is the richest man, but he still has to be cautious in his words and deeds. If you are joking around, it's no wonder that others interpret it blindly.

It's cold in the heights.

"Come on, you don't talk about Ji Bo lightly, you have something to say. Why did you think of coming to me today, how is your business lately?" Gu Biao decided to stop the nonsense rhythm between buddies.

Ma Feng sighed: "The business is not good, I have been fooling around for a year or two, and I should pay the tuition fee to sell some lessons." Originally, I always felt that I had worked in foreign trade and economic cooperation, and I went to the United States to study and study several times in a targeted manner, and I wanted to bring back some advanced models from the Americans.

After doing it myself, I realized that everything was not going well, it was all unadaptable, and the commercial infrastructure and credit environment were too poor. Let me give you an example, in the past two years in the United States, I saw that Americans have a yellow pages system for commercial suppliers, a TV shopping investment attraction at the level of corporate customers, and mail order and sample delivery guarantees......

At that time, at first glance, it seemed really exciting, and I wanted to return to China to do something meaningful. You think, just in our Wuyue Province, how many small and medium-sized processing enterprises want to divide the industrial division more finely, but there are unique skills that cannot find demand, and those who have demand cannot find things that can take care of things. How convenient would it be if there was a Yellow Pages system that was easy to search, as the Americans did?

But as soon as I did it, I realized that there was no credit card and no credit system in China. The non-standard negotiation between enterprises is not clearly explained on the phone, and when it comes to drawings, people are unwilling to send blueprints for comparison in the initial contact stage, and there is no fax machine......

In short, it's too advanced, and it's a lot of difficulties. I think it's hopeless to make money by relying on those nonsense things in a few years, so I can only hang up the signature clear soup with little water. The most important thing at the moment is the commercial infrastructure, not blindly learning from the Americans to innovate in the way they engage in transactions, which are still in space.

This time, it was also Brother Gu that you were pushing Big Brother, which touched me to learn from the pain. I think that my assumptions will not be able to make great progress until fax machines and corporate credit are as widespread in China as the Americans. ”

Ma Feng said a little unbounded, as if there were too many points to reflect.

Gu Biao was also a little tired when he listened, but fortunately he also roughly understood: Ma Feng did not cross, and he did not want to engage in e-commerce. It was only in the United States that he learned some advanced business intermediary models based on the current American era in the United States two years ago, and then he came back and tried randomly, seemingly failing.

The specific cause and effect, Gu Biao has to slowly ask and induce to figure it out.

"You say slow down - you haven't asked me for advice in the past two years, how do you know how you are fooling around. ”
