There were already more than 20 people sitting at the conference table, all of them were wearing suits and ties, I swept around, and saw the old acquaintance Mao Guili in the crowd, Mao Guili was squeezing his eyes at me to say hello, I nodded and signaled, I was not surprised that he appeared here, after all, Mao Guili is a big name in the southern Guangdong region, Zhang Guangfa will definitely not miss him.

With the arrival of Fang Yao and me, Zhang Guangfa took the initiative to leave the conference table and walked over to us.

After a simple politeness, Fang Yao and I were invited to the conference table, the position was a seat, and there was even a name plate in front of us, which was printed with "Wuhan Representative Luo Hui", Fang Yao was the representative of Beijing, Mao Guili sat opposite me, and there was a name plate of "Guangdong Representative Mao Guili" in front of him, Zhang Guangfa was naturally a representative of Fujian, and he was doing it well, I couldn't help but glance at Zhang Guangfa, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this old thing with such a big pomp?

Zhang Guangfa looked around the conference table, there was basically no empty seat, then picked up the microphone and said: "First of all, welcome to the bosses of card dealers all over the country to give me a face, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting led by me, and welcome everyone again." ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to applaud, and the scene resounded with sparse applause, most people are not very happy to engage in this kind of formalism, and most businessmen are not used to this kind of scene, but they still symbolically slapped twice for the sake of face.

Zhang Guangfa continued: "All of you here are very representative big-name dealers in their respective regions, and they are the backbone of our industry, and the amulet is an exotic sacred relic, which was introduced to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan from Southeast Asia in the early 90s ....... ”

Someone at the scene couldn't bear it, and interjected: "Boss Zhang, just say what you want to do when you call us over this time, we are all rough people, don't do it like making a report, everyone is not used to listening to it, everyone says yes." ”

The crowd chimed in.

Zhang Guang carried forward a smile and motioned for everyone to be quiet first, and said: "I understand that everyone is tired from rushing here after a long journey, and it is to give me the greatest face for Zhang, although what I said is a little verbose, but I think this form is still very necessary, everyone listen to me patiently first." ”

The scene fell silent, and Zhang Guangfa continued: " Buddha card in the early nineties from Southeast Asia to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, gradually developed, and slowly introduced to the mainland, this has today's scale, now in addition to the western backward areas, almost all over the country can see the shadow of the brand dealers, I am very happy to see this phenomenon happen, but has always been our brand dealers in the name of selling jewelry in the business, which has led to the society does not know much about our industry, and even misunderstanding, that we do what we do is to sell souvenirs and jewelry, our recognition and recognition is almost zero, which is very unfair to us, so I gathered everyone today to solve this problemWhy can't the Buddha card be like the Buddhist Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha, and Rulai, why can't the Buddha card be like the Christian Jesus cross, and why can't the Buddha card become a holy object accepted by the general public like the Taoist Sanqing?"

A representative of a brand dealer from Hunan interjected: "Can this be the same? Buddhism and Christianity have a history of hundreds or thousands of years in China, not to mention Taoism, a sect that has a history of several thousand years in China. ”

Zhang Guangfa asked rhetorically: "Buddha cards and Christianity are also imported churches, what is the difference between them and Buddha cards? Our group of people is the first batch of people to eat crabs, don't you want to make your business bigger, don't you want to let the next generation and even the next generation inherit the business, so that this industry will be more prosperous?"

Zhang Guangfa said: "If we want to develop, we must learn to change, and now is the age of information and resource sharing, and if we are still complacent, we will only be eliminated by the times." ”

A representative from Shandong said: "Mr. Zhang, I probably understand what you mean, do you want to make this business public? But in the eyes of many people, this thing is superstition, and it can't be put on the stage, so how can it be developed openly?"

Many people also echoed and said yes, I looked at Zhang Guangfa, only to see that he was still smiling, obviously had a response to this kind of questioning, only to hear him say: "The Buddhism I just said, Christian saints are also superstitious in the end, the family that believes in the Buddha, who does not go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha on the first day of the New Year, who believes in Christ who does not go to the church at Christmas to participate in the party, this is all allowed and protected by the state, can you say that you can't get on the table, Boss Zhou, how to make it public depends on how we package it, but the packaging is a later word, everything must be done step by step, right, the step is easy to pull the egg. ”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, Fang Yao and the two female representatives felt very embarrassed, Zhang Guangfa immediately realized it, and said: "I'm sorry to forget that there are still ladies present, apologize to a few ladies, my metaphor is indeed a little vulgar, but the words are not rough, in short, we have to take the first step." ”

Mao Guili couldn't help but interject: "Lao Zhang, you are too inky, what is the first step, what is the big gasp." ”

Zhang Guangfa cleared his throat and said: "Look at Boss Mao, be patient, this first step is that we can't be scattered in a plate of sand, can't go our own way, and can't look at each other unpleasantly, we must abandon the previous suspicion and twist into a rope, become a group, become an industry that does not lose to any industry, everyone makes a fortune together, everyone carries something together, and works together to move towards a brilliant tomorrow!" We can't be attached to the jewelry industry, no one will feel comfortable under the fence, we have to be independent, become a Buddhist card people's association, China Brand Merchants Association!"

The representatives of the card dealers at the scene did not seem to be interested in Zhang Guangfa's proposal, everyone look at me, I look at you, no one is silent.

Zhang Guangfa seems to be a little unable to get off the stage, to be honest, this proposal is actually good, it does help the development of card dealers, most of the current card dealers look at each other wrongly, resulting in malicious competition, all think that the other party is robbing their own business, is not conducive to development, if you can set up an association, everyone's hearts are gathered together, not a bad thing, but this matter is a little bit changed by Zhang Guangfa, Zhang Guangfa's personality can be seen from his COCO incident, interests are the first in front of him, I don't understand why people like him want to do this kind of thankless thing for him, so I have reservations about the establishment of the China Licensees Association。
