Chapter 3: The Manuscript Stealers
"Brother Kai, let's go, there's business coming to the door. Li Wenxing said while brushing his hair in the mirror.
"Wait until I'm done with this. Zhang Kai held a glass of wine in his hand, sat on the sofa with a look of enjoyment, and said leisurely.
"Your uncle's. Li Wenxing walked over to Zhang Kai as he spoke, snatched the wine glass in his hand, put it on the table, sniffed it before putting it away, and then frowned and tasted it and said, "The Macallan's single malt whisky? Where are you from? We don't sell it in supermarkets here." Zhang Kai snatched the wine glass and drank it all, put down the wine glass and got up to look at Li Wenxing as he walked to the door and said, "I don't buy from the supermarket originally, I have always bought online." ”
Li Wenxing shrugged his shoulders helplessly and whispered, "Chop hand clan." ”
The two got dressed and opened the door and walked out, got into Li Wenxing's car, and asked Li Wenxing in the car: "Boss, what business?" This customer is doing clothing design, he has some new design manuscripts, to get the manufacturer to mass production, and then provide to the clothing wholesale market, but a month ago there was a person who worked in his company, worked in the company for a period of time, suddenly resigned and did not do, money does not want, people do not know where to go, and then when we entrust the customer to meet in the wholesale market, this kid in the commission of the customer to steal a lot of copies of the design draft, and he casually changed, changed a color line, it became his own thing, to the wholesale market to talk about cooperation with others, let others ask for his goods, gave the price advantage, entrusted the customer to knowI heard that he went to the manufacturer to talk about printing, and found a very low price, and this factory took a person's job at a time, and wanted us to talk, can we take this job down, so that this manuscript stealer can get nothing. ”
After listening to Li Wenxing's words, Zhang Kai couldn't help but say: "This is a little not a thing, the result of the last shift, just to steal the design and steal the manuscript, why didn't the customer call the police?" Li Wenxing said with a puzzled expression: "I have also thought about it and considered this problem, but after all, there is money to be made, if you don't call the police, don't call the police, let's complete the task." ”
Ten minutes later, the two came to the factory, after explaining their intentions, let them go to the reception room, the factory director was in a meeting at this time, and there was no time to come out, so let the two of them wait in the reception room now, there were two people in the reception room, one looked fierce bald head and big belly, one was wearing jeans, leather jacket, walking around the house, one hand pinching the waist and the other hand kept touching the chin, looking very anxious, Zhang Kai whispered to Li Wenxing: " Call Dawei over and ask him to wear black, you are calling me when you come, call quickly, I don't have his phone. (David is Li Wenxing's personal fitness trainer.) )
Two minutes later, Li Wenxing came in and whispered to Zhang Kai: "It's over, it's time to arrive in five minutes, and we'll tell the factory director in a while, are you here or am I?" These two people are together, walking around this person who steals manuscripts nine times out of ten, basically I'm sure it's him, sitting on the one that doesn't look good at first glance, walking around this looks weak, but the two have eye contact, although the two didn't speak, but when the eyes are together, this will sigh when walking around, indicating that he is in a hurry, and sitting on this bald fat man will take a deep breath to meet, so these two people should come together. After listening to this, Li Wenxing observed the two of them, and nodded at Zhang Kai after a while, indicating that he was right.
After a while, Dawei came, Li Wenxing went to pick him up, and after he came, while the two people in the room didn't pay attention, Zhang Kai walked over and whispered to Dawei: "Put your hands in front of you, your expression is serious, your chin is a little forward, it looks scary, Wenxing will buy your class after the matter is completed." After Li Wenxing heard this sentence next to him, he immediately frowned and spread his hands to express his doubts, Zhang Kai didn't see it and continued to say to Dawei: "Well, yes, that's almost, where I go in a while, where do you see, keep using this expression, come, say that my name is pheasant, ** chicken." ”
Dawei looked at Zhang Kai indifferently and said, "Brother Kai, don't be like this, okay." Zhang Kai smiled and nodded, "Just kidding, don't be so serious, I'll walk over now, and you keep looking at me with the expression you just now." ”
Zhang Kai walked over at the weak scholar, Li Wenxing stopped and said: "Wait a minute, you tell me first, you want to..." The latter words did not come out, because Zhang Kai walked over directly and did not stop, Li Wenxing rolled his eyes and sat down to watch, Zhang Kai walked to the weak scholar and said, "Handsome guy, what are you doing here?" At this time, the bald fat man began to stare at Zhang Kai, and the weak scholar looked to the side, no one else, he was indeed talking to himself, so he said to Zhang Kai: "We don't know each other, right?"
Zhang Kai said: "Indeed, if I know, I will not use a handsome guy, instead, hello, I am the sales director of Yufei women's clothing, my surname is Zhao, my name is Zhao Fu, the copy of Fu, my boss asked me to come to this factory to talk about cooperation in order to save costs, but I heard that this factory is special, it is really special, I haven't seen the director and the person in charge for so long a day, handsome guy, what do you call it?" Zhang Kai stretched out his hand and tried to shake hands.
The weak scholar stretched out his hand and shook it and said, "My name is Liu Lei, why haven't you heard of that Yufei women's clothing?" Zhang Kai pretended to be embarrassed and smiled and said: "Because it is a small brand, there are less than 20 people in the company, and it is good to be called a sales director, but it is useless, there is no performance and no salary, so I come out to run errands all day long, this kind of small brand, it is normal that you have not heard of it." ”
Liu Lei nodded and put his hands crossed on his chest and said: "Brother, let me tell you, the two of us are different, I am not an errand runner, I am the boss of the company, I don't know how strong your company is, but this manufacturer will only cooperate with one person at a time, only one job at a time, since you said that your boss came to this company to talk about cooperation in order to save costs, then don't bother, no matter how much your company produces, I will definitely be higher than your company." ”
Zhang Kai shook his body with a smile, looked around and said, "Boss Liu, why should you embarrass me as a salesman? And before we met the factory director, we were all competitors." ”
Liu Lei looked at the bald fat man sitting next to him and smiled, then looked at Zhang Kai and said disdainfully: "Among the competitors, I am the only one who has a chance, I advise you to leave early, my friend has a bad temper, let him know that he can't talk calmly like the two of us." Zhang Kai glanced at the bald fat man who was sitting, then looked at Liu Lei and said, "Your friend does look very fierce, but my friend is not very friendly." After speaking, he looked at Dawei standing at the doorway behind him.
Dawei looked at Zhang Kai and Liu Lei with a fierce face, Liu Lei said impatiently: "Do you think that if there is something worth it, I can do anything for my own company, you are a salesman, do you take such a big risk for a little salary? ”
Zhang Kai sighed, looked at his head and said to Liu Lei: "You are amazing, Boss Liu, let's go." After speaking, he glanced at Dawei and Li Wenxing and left, the three of them walked out, Zhang Kai said to Li Wenxing: ", this force is definitely stealing the manuscript, he threatened me in order to win this manufacturer, at first glance, it is the kind that grabs the last life-saving straw, it must be because we entrust the customer to force him so that no one cooperates with him, he is now in a hurry to produce, and then he may go to the Internet to sell, or find a night market stall for distribution, do you listen, just play with the mobile phone." Zhang Kai looked at Li Wenxing with dissatisfaction in his last sentence and said.
Li Wenxing raised his head at this time and didn't look at his phone, but put the phone in front of Zhang Kai and said, "That's right, it's him, this is a one-inch photo of the manuscript stealer sent to me by the client, taken from the resume." ”
Zhang Kai looked at it and said, "Let's get in the car and wait, I have a plan." Li Wenxing said with some emotion: "Wait for a P, if he snatches it away, our task will fail, I want to go back and talk, talk to their factory director about this matter, and take it." Dawei looked at the two of them next to him, and then looked at his watch and said, "It's okay, I'll go first." Li Wenxing stretched out his hand to block it and said, "Wait a minute, I'll send you, and when I'm done talking, I'll send you away." Zhang Kai stretched his head forward, frowned, spread his hands and said: "Do you believe that I can do it, I have a way, they can't talk on the same day, they can decide on the same day, it will definitely be in a few days, today is just a meeting to talk, I have a way to wait for him to come out, and when he comes out, I will talk to this manuscript stealer, and after the talk, you will go in and talk to the factory director, and give full play to your strengths." Li Wenxing sighed and agreed by default, and the three of them returned to the car, waiting for Liu Lei to come out, and did not speak to each other.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Lei came out, Zhang Kai got out of the car and greeted him and said, "Congratulations, Boss Liu, let you negotiate." Liu Lei said a little angrily: "Ah, thank you, thank you, what's the matter?" Zhang Kai said: "I dare to go? I walk back to the company boss must not scold me to death, Boss Liu, since you have already negotiated, you might as well tell me, when you sign the contract to start cooperation, I will go back and tell the boss to see the factory director, but I have already signed a contract with others to cooperate, it is too late, so I will not be scolded too much, you can help? Anyway, the customers have let you take it, you should do a good deed, tell me, let me go back to make a good deal, you also know, after all, I am just a salesman. ”
Liu Lei laughed a few times, took out a cigarette, lit it for Zhang Kai, and lit it himself: "Brother, it's not that I don't let you make money, but you have to think, I am the boss after all, and I have to raise a lot of people, you are different, you can't be scolded at most, I can't finish it is to starve a bunch of people, right, although I am now in the company and my friend, but we also have to eat, don't you say?" Zhang Kai nodded and said with a very understanding look: "Yes, yes, after all, you are the boss, which is different from working like me." ”
Liu Lei said happily: "It's good if you understand, just understand, in this way, I can't tell you to sign the contract on the specific day, but I can tell you, it is estimated that it will be about the same next week, and after signing it, you will start working directly after signing it, you will explain it to your boss like this, I can't say more, I also have a hard time, okay, I'll go first, and when we have the opportunity to meet again, then sit down and talk." After saying that, Liu Lei left, and the bald fat man next to him followed, and after Zhang Kaimu saw the two of them leave, he returned to the car and told Li Wenxing about the matter.
Li Wenxing smiled evilly and said, "It is estimated that it will be almost the same next week, alas, it's a pity, he can't wait." After finishing speaking, Li Wenxing called the entrusted customer and explained the situation, and the entrusted customer said that no matter how much this person gave, he was willing to pay 10% more, or even 20%, as long as he could take it, Li Wenxing said that there was no problem, and got out of the car to talk, Zhang Kai thought about it and followed, Dawei saw that the two of them went, and just wanted to follow along, Li Wenxing said no, Dawei stayed in the car by himself for a while.
Zhang Kai and Li Wenxing walked in and saw the factory director, Li Wenxing said: "Hello factory director, our company wants to cooperate with your factory, there is a batch of clothes to do, I want to ask your wishes." The factory director was a man in his fifties, and the factory director frowned and said: "Young man, you two are late, two of you have already talked to me just now, and I will decide whether to do it for them at the shareholders' meeting tomorrow." Zhang Kai said: "Factory director, I know that there are two people have come, one is thin, one bald head is quite fat, when they came, we were also there, but they threatened us, although the thin one looks very weak, but he threatened us with fat, you look at the two of us, at first glance it is a literati fan, are honest office workers, look at the bald head, fat and black, and tattoos, how dare we stay longer, just wait for them to leave, we will come back, factory director, you think, such a person to cooperate with you, are you willing?" In order to achieve the end by unscrupulous means, our company is different from them, we are rich and everyone earns, do you think?"
Li Wenxing said: "Factory director, our company is very sincere, we know that there are people just now, but we have been waiting, because our company is willing to pay 10% more than them, or even 15%, as long as we can cooperate, we have to think about long-term interests, what do you say?"
The director of the factory said with a difficult face: "This matter, not I can decide alone, tomorrow the shareholders will have a meeting, the results will be released next Tuesday, when the time comes, we will notify the two of you, or if there is a notice, the shareholders' meeting will go to the field, so you can only contact you by phone, you leave a phone that can be connected at any time, but your company is willing to pay 10%-15% more Basically, I can be sure to cooperate with you, but I also have to look at the opinions of the shareholders' meeting, and there is one more thing, that is, the phone you leave is best to be a landline, and the mobile phone should not have interception software, otherwise you can't get through, you can't call in, our landline can only be called, this factory can, but I am still in the field when the result comes, so I have to use the phone over there, you have to pay attention to this, you leave a phone. ”
Li Wenxing provided the phone number that had been prepared a long time ago, the three shook hands and said goodbye, and when they returned to the car, Li Wenxing took out his mobile phone to call the entrusted customer and said: "It has been arranged for you, I told him that it is 10%-15%, he said that the general meeting of shareholders will decide the final result, I think it must be no problem, I think it, you can take the remaining 5% to the factory director to give a gift, have a meal, this matter is done, and the landline will notify you when the time comes." After hearing this, the customer gave Alipay to Li Wenxing and asked Li Wenxing to buy, give gifts, and invite guests to dinner.
Everything is within Li Wenxing's arrangement, when Li Wenxing shook hands and said goodbye before that, he made an appointment with the factory director to have dinner together in the evening, and see you at the hotel then, in the evening, Li Wenxing and Zhang Kai attended, and originally wanted to take Zhao Tiande, but Zhao Tiande felt sorry for his girlfriend and didn't want to leave his girlfriend at home alone, so he didn't go.
Everything went smoothly at dinner and gift-giving in the evening, and the factory director patted his chest after getting drunk and promised that he would definitely cooperate with Li Wenxing, so that Li Wenxing could rest assured, but he was afraid that Liu Lei and the bald head would make trouble, after all, Zhang Kai also said it, and he also saw it, and he really didn't look like a good person, Zhang Kai gave an idea at this time.
Zhang Kai said: "Brother, did you also tell him to call to inform?" The factory director nodded, Zhang Kai continued: "That's easy to do, then I can't complain about you, I let him not have a chance to answer the phone that day, let his mobile phone keep ringing, waiting for you to come back from the field, he came to you, you said that you couldn't get through after a few phone calls to him, so you cooperated with others, so it's okay." The factory director was puzzled and said, "Okay, can it be successful? How can I make his mobile phone ring all the time?"
Zhang Kai smiled evilly and said: " There is something called calling you to death, once the phone keeps ringing after it is turned on, he can use the interception software, but let's find the kind of one second to hang up, so that he has no time to operate, let the phone keep calling in, keep playing and have a chance to close, in the setting of interception, but keep harassing for a second, there is no chance, the operation can not be operated, then you are not to blame, you can lose your temper at him, and when he finds you, you first scold him, say that he is to blame, do not answer for a long time, has been busy, he was counted by several shareholders at the shareholders' meeting, and now the business has not to be done, he is still complained by the shareholders, and the future business negotiations are estimated to have nothing to do with themselves, you just got angry and lost your temper and told him, let the wrong person become him, you are the most innocent and pitiful person. ”
After listening to this, the factory director smiled and said, "You are very bad." At this time, Li Wenxing began to explain why he did this, and told all the things about this person stealing manuscripts and designs, and the factory director immediately changed his attitude and regarded Li Wenxing and Zhang Kai as well-wishers.
A few days later, Tuesday came, the factory director gave the results at one o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Lei's phone did not ring idle from 12.00, and then entrusted the customer and the factory director to sign a contract to determine the cooperation, Li Wenxing accompanied the customer, and after signing, he sent a WeChat message to tell Zhang Kai: "Brother Kai, come to dinner in the evening, it's done, the customer please eat." Zhang Kai's reply was very simple: "Okay, I'll prepare after drinking." Li Wenxing looked at Zhang Kai's reply and smiled helplessly, and whispered: "This drunkard..."
In the evening, the customer, the factory director, Li Wenxing, and Zhang Kai ate together, and after the first meal, the factory director left first, and the customer chatted with Li Wenxing and Zhang Kai, asking about Liu Lei, Li Wenxing and Zhang Kai both answered truthfully, and Li Wenxing said: "Mr. Liu, this matter is now solved, but after all, he stole your manuscript, why don't you call the police?" The customer sighed in embarrassment, his expression was still a little sad, and his eyes were filled with faint tears.
Zhang Kai instantly understood at this time, grabbed Li Wenxing's arm with his hand, and signaled to stop talking, Li Wenxing said: "What's wrong? Brother Kai?" Zhang Kai looked at the customer and said: "Because Liu Lei is the son of Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu has no way to call the police." Li Wenxing looked at Mr. Liu with wide eyes, Mr. Liu nodded, and said a lot about the dispute with his son, the origin of the conflict between the two was because Mr. Liu divorced his wife, his wife went abroad and would not come back, and told a long, long story, Li Wenxing and Zhang Kai have been listening and persuading.
When he went back in the evening, Li Wenxing asked Zhang Kai: "Brother Kai, how do you know that they are father and son?" Zhang Kai said: "You haven't observed it closely, I talked to his son at close range, and then I ate and sat close just now, you also know, I love to observe people, so I look carefully, and judge it through the appearance of the two of them and his father's expression later, but the main reason why I dare to be directly sure tonight is because I drank alcohol, so my execution has become stronger." ”
After listening to it, Li Wenxing was happy, and said with a smile: "It seems that drinking is still a bit beneficial, hahahaha, oh yes, where did you get that to kill you?" Zhang Kai smiled and said: "Taobao!!You still dislike me for shopping online all day long, do you know the benefits now?" Li Wenxing nodded and said, "I'll take it." ”
The next day, the two of them went to the company, Li Wenxing sat on the sofa and was not very happy, Zhang Kai was reading a book on the sofa, Zhao Tiande was studying the broadcasting terminal equipment next to him, the three of them all looked serious, Zheng Yufei came over and looked at the folder and said, "What's the matter, you guys? ”
Zhang Kai said: "There are a few words in this book that I don't recognize. ”
Zhao Tiande said: "This equipment is more difficult than I imagined." ”
Li Wenxing said: "The money I made this time is a little small, and I only got 5K for this job, and I also want to recruit a person who is good at computers to come to our company to deal with some things and investigate some things." ”
Zheng Yufei looked at Li Wenxing and said, "Isn't Tiande and Brother Kai okay? Tiande will cultivate, and Brother Kai will be able to do all aspects online." ”
Li Wenxing shook his head and frowned and said, "No, Brother Kai is a good person, compared with us, compared with ordinary people, I want to find a great god, similar to a hacker." ”
Zheng Yufei thought for a while and said, "Find Xiaojing, she will, she will when I met her in college." ”
Li Wenxing, Zhao Tiande, and Zhang Kai smiled, and Li Wenxing said: "I'm talking about hackers, not people who can play with computers." Zheng Yufei said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Jing is, she often gets some things that she can't understand, a lot of alphanumeric symbols or something, she has always loved this, just like Tiande likes to get these electronic devices, and Brother Kai likes to drink." ”
Li Wenxing said in disbelief: "Really, then let her come tomorrow, Brother Kai, Tiande, do you two have any opinions?"
Zhao Tiande lowered his head and studied the equipment and said, "I have no opinion. Zhang Kai stood up, took a glass and poured a sip of wine, saying, "If it doesn't affect my drinking, it's okay." ”
After listening to this, Li Wenxing looked at Zheng Yufei and said, "Okay, Zheng Fei, you can ask Xiao Jing when she is free to let her come." ”
Zheng Yufei nodded and agreed, it seems that this special company is going to have a special person again.
