Chapter 205: The Talks Fall Apart
It took me 20 minutes to come to Jinqiu's wedding company, I stood for a moment under this office building with only 3 floors, and the qiē presented in front of me made me have to admire Jinqiu's ability to create the ZÀO brand.
This office building completely belongs to the wedding company, the exterior decoration is very visually impactful, integrating a lot of festive elements related to marriage, especially the double happiness shape of the company's culture wall, the wall not only records the company's major events and business philosophy, but also has many customers around the world to take wedding photos, a cursory look around, there is a kind of love with their own wedding dress, travel around the world pleasure.
And next to the cultural wall, a concentric tree made of resin brings the atmosphere of marriage to the top, coupled with the "Let's Get Married" played in the wall-mounted speaker, so that I, who has no plans to get married, have the urge to get married at this moment.
The first floor of the office building is used by Jin Qiu to sell all kinds of wedding supplies, including expensive cigarettes, alcohol and sweets; The second floor is the customer reception area; The third floor is the office area.
I'm so convinced! This is the momentum that a wedding company that does high-end weddings should have. I'm sure that the cost of that resin concentric tree alone will not be less than 200,000, this unique design and creativity, those high-end customers want to dislike it!
From the first floor to the third floor, there was a very comfortable fragrance all the time, so that I was embarrassed to smoke, so I looked left and right all the way, and almost collided with Jin Qiu, who had just come out of another office.
I took a step back and said to Jin Qiu: "Your company's visual identity is really good, as long as you look at it, you can feel that the company's leader is a real person who does business...... I can really understand now why you bloodbathed us old employees at that time! Our vision has been bound by long-term work experience, and we will not think of elevating the company to the height of cultural construction to operate, I think this is the core competitiveness of the company, and it is also the basis for the development of other derivative projects. ”
Jin Qiu smiled and replied: "Don't be too light to erase the contributions you have made to the company, even if you have ideas, many things need to have funds to realize, so the company has fallen into such a strict predicament, and it is not all your responsibility." ”
Jin Qiu's words reminded me, and I was puzzled, so I asked: "Yes, it is impossible to achieve the current effect without a few million investment in the company's renovation and renovation, and I have never heard of your financing behavior before, where did you get so much money?" ”
Jin Qiu didn't answer, just pushed open the door of his office, and then motioned for me to come in and talk.
……
I sat on the sofa in the large office, Jin Qiu made me a cup of coffee, and then sat across from me and chatted with me, and she asked me, "Do you have any new plans after the coffee shop closes?" ”
"Don't say it's so ugly to say that it's going out of business, okay? At most, I can only say that I have not a good grasp of the scale of the policy, and the coffee shop has no problem in its own operation. You don't know that coffee culture has almost become a popular trend in the coffee circle! ”
"It's just a failure, so why care?"
"I don't care, I just summarized my first venture, anyway, the coffee shop can't be considered bankrupt!"
Jin Qiu smiled, didn't raise the bar with me again, just took out a lady's cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, she rubbed her temples a little tiredly, and after a long time, she asked me again: "What did you think about the things I mentioned to you before?" ”
"Wedding execution has always been what I'm good at, and if you give me this piece, I'm 90% sure that I can do it. I have one condition, though. ”
"On what terms?"
I also lit a cigarette, and after thinking about it for a while, I replied, "If you give me this piece of business, it will definitely be in your company, and I have no objection to this...... But I hope that when I operate the wedding execution, I can have my own pricing power, and the financial situation is not tied to your company, and the profit and loss of the project are borne by myself...... Are you okay with this request? ”
Jin Qiu looked at me incredulously, and only said after a while: "Jiang Qiao, are you joking with me?" ”
"No kidding."
"If you are allowed to have your own pricing power, you will definitely try to save intermediate costs in order to ensure profitability, and how can we guarantee the quality of the wedding to our customers? …… It's too dangerous for us! ”
I was a little unhappy in my heart, and when I replied, "Since you are not willing to give me even the least trust, then why do you talk to me again and again?" ”
"It's not that I don't trust you, I just think this cooperation model is very bad! I have promised you before, I can give you a 100% profitable cooperation model, but the pricing power of the executive part of the wedding must belong to the head office, what you have to do is to ensure the quality of the wedding and maintain the brand image of the head office! ”
I looked at the out-and-out businesswoman in front of me, and my heart was sad, not for her, but for myself. In the final analysis, the cooperation model she proposed is for me to set up a puppet company for her with no spirit, no culture, no innovation, no independent rights, and I am the king of puppets.
I finally replied, "I can't twist my arms around my thighs, and I don't want to argue with you!" With such a cooperation method, you might as well let me go back to work, and I don't take the risk from 9 to 5 every day. ”
"If you want to come back, of course I'm welcome."
I got up from the couch and my words were full of anger at being looked down upon: "I don't want to ...... You don't believe me at all, why do you think that I will make a fuss about intermediate costs for my own profit, and then affect the quality of the wedding? Am I so selfish and unsightly in your eyes? …… Jin Qiu, I am more and more aware that we are not all the way at all, and your bones are full of businessmen's sensitivity and calculation...... I'd rather follow your dad and mix up behind Lao Jin than cooperate with you! ”
"Jiangqiao...... You! ”
"Don't point your finger at me...... I dare to take responsibility for every word I say today, I don't doubt that you will be a very successful entrepreneur in the future, but you are not someone I admire Jiangqiao, if you can't agree on even the most basic consciousness, do you think such a cooperation has a future? ”
Jin Qiu and I quarreled because of the conflict of values, not once or twice, but I didn't expect her reaction to be extremely violent this time, she angrily picked up the coffee cup in front of her, and smashed it at me with the coffee, I couldn't hide, not only was hit by the cup, but also drenched in coffee.
She almost shouted: "Jiang Qiao, if it weren't for my commitment to her, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your life or death, and I wouldn't have looked for you again and again in a low voice." I hope you understand: there are more people in this circle who are more experienced than you, don't think that whoever leaves you can't have fun! ”
I was smashed like this, and my temper suddenly came up, completely ignoring the point of her words, and yelling: "Then you play, you play with the spoon." I, Jiangqiao, have left my words here today, I don't believe that I didn't have the life to start a business, no matter how hard and tired I am, I will do a career, not to prove anything, but to have confidence in myself. ”
"Roll ......"
……
Leaving the wedding company in the golden autumn, I stood on the side of the street waiting for the bus back. A gust of evening breeze blew, and my mind gradually calmed down, and then I remembered what Jin Qiu had just said to me in anger. She said: If it weren't for the fact that she had a promise to her, she wouldn't have bothered to care about my life or death.
Who the hell is she?
This is my doubt, I subconsciously thought it was Chen Yi, but it was quickly overturned, because if Chen Yi really wanted to help me, she didn't need to rely on Jin Qiu's hand, there were a hundred ways she could help me, and this had been reflected in the previous time.
So, who is she?
The bus came in the intertwined lights of the city night, I was pushed into the car by a crowd of people, my body was tightly pressed against the window, and the curiosity just now was gradually replaced by the sadness in my heart, because I could speak very hard in front of Jin Qiu, but the reality of this mountain still has to be crossed, no!
The bus stopped and went, and the passengers came and went, and I finally made it back to Tulip Road, and then lived my own life again, cleaning and cooking by myself, and washing a bag of dirty laundry that I had saved while in Taipei.
Time passed little by little, and by the time I picked it up, it was already half past ten in the evening.
I habitually sat on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard and smoked. At this time, I was reluctant to think about it, but this night was an exception, and I thought about it over and over again to distinguish my future into countless possibilities......
When he was about to smoke the second cigarette, there was a familiar sound of footsteps around the corner more than ten meters away, it was Chen Yi who had returned.
I looked up at my watch, it was 11 o'clock in the evening, and it was another extremely busy day for her.
She stopped in front of me, then looked at the cigarette I had just lit in my hand and asked, "Why is it sitting here again that I am sitting here smoking alone, is there something on my mind?" ”
I shook my head and didn't want to talk much, because every time I saw her, I felt ashamed of myself for not accomplishing anything, especially on a night like this.
Chen Yi stood for a while, and then asked me, "Did you contact Qiao Ye again later?" ”
I nodded, I did send another message to Qiao Ye during the day, relaying Qin Miao's attitude to him in a very tactful way, but he didn't reply until now.
I squinted and took another puff on my cigarette before replying, "He didn't reply since, and I don't know what he thinks...... Maybe you still can't get over Su Han's hurdle! ”
"What's not to do? Miao Miao has already agreed to divorce him. ”
I looked at Chen Yi and thought about it, isn't it always Qiao Ye's dream to divorce Qin Miao, and after getting such an answer, he should fly back from abroad immediately. Of course, it is not excluded that he is arguing, after all, Qin Miao is already pregnant with his child, for the sake of the child, this marriage is not said to be divorced, because it is too unfair to the child!
In the middle of the guess, the mobile phone suddenly rang in my pocket, I took it out and looked at it, but it was an unfamiliar number with no name record, and I answered it with doubts......
There was silence on the other end of the line.
I asked, "Who are you?" Speak. ”
"Jiang Qiao, it's me, Qiao Ye...... I've arrived at Lukou Airport, so you can pick me up. ”
My heart was full of consternation, so much so that I looked at Chen Yi who had been standing in front of me a little stunned......
"What's wrong, Jiang Qiao?"
I pressed the microphone of my phone, then lowered my voice and said to Chen Yi: "It's Qiao Ye, he called me...... He said that he was at Lukou Airport, and asked me to pick him up. ”
Chen Yi was also shocked by this news, but our judgment of Qiao Ye was not wrong, after learning that Qin Miao agreed to the divorce, he really came back. But even so, there are still many questions that plague me and Chen Yi.
Did Su Han come back with him this time? When he faced Qin Miao, would he really make the choice of divorce?
