Chapter 19: Fledgling
Shu Ya quit her job in an accounting firm and began to enjoy life comfortably, shopping with Xinyan every day until her feet were soft, and she was very busy, while Wendi locked herself at home all day long, thinking about her next step. After Shu Ya found out that she got this windfall, Wendi was not only unhappy, but her mental state was not as good as before, so she always wanted to find an opportunity to sit down and have a good chat with Wendi.
"Wendi, don't strain your nerves too much, you should learn to relax yourself, we have money now, don't worry about food, clothing and mortgage, why do you look more stressed than before?"
Wendy's melancholy personality is innate, and from childhood to adulthood, whenever something good happens, Wendi will be extremely nervous. In his opinion, God has rewarded you with something, and he will definitely take some secretly while you are unprepared, and now that he has been rewarded by heaven, he needs to be more energetic to prevent his most precious things from slipping away. In order to solve Shu Ya's doubts, Wendy called her to the computer, he pointed to the information on the website, explained to Shu Ya, and said:
"Look, here's what I looked up, the Australian Lotto makes an average of one multimillionaire every 3.2 months, but 65% of these multimillionaires end up squandering their wealth, incurring huge debts and becoming addicted to drugs. We made a windfall this time, and this kind of money comes and goes quickly. ”
"Then you don't have to be so pessimistic, aren't there still 35% of people who are still rich? I'll admit that I've been out shopping a little more lately, but it will take a lifetime to spend all that eight-figure savings, right? ”
"Then let me ask you, how much do you usually buy clothes before we both win the lottery?"
"A few dozen or a hundred or two hundred."
"What happens after you win the lottery?"
"The clothes in the designer store are about a few thousand yuan a piece."
"Within two weeks of receiving the bonus, your spending level will skyrocket a hundredfold, and if this trend continues, our fortune will be spent in ten years."
Shu Ya heard Wendi's theory, and began to be a little worried, so she said:
"Then I'll go tomorrow and return the things I recently bought, and develop a good habit of thrift."
Wendy shook his head and said:
"No, you're right to buy some good things, what I'm really thinking about is how to turn this money into more money."
"Why don't you ask my dad? He is very good at investing. ”
Shu Ya contacted Chen Yanqing, who is far away in Beijing, to ask about real estate investment, and Chen Yanqing said that it happened that there was an international real estate technology exchange conference held in Beijing next month, and many business people would attend. When Shu Ya and Wendi heard the news, they felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they decided to return to China to attend the conference and learn some relevant experience.
The meeting was successfully held in a famous five-star hotel in Beijing, and Shu Ya and Wendi, as fledgling rookies, could only follow Chen Yanqing all the time, listen carefully to others' discussions, and take notes from time to time.
"Uncle Chen, it's been a long time, how are you doing?" Wendi looked in the direction of the voice and found a man of his own age walking over and shaking hands with Chen Yanqing.
"It turned out to be Xiao He, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
After greeting Chen Yanqing, the man turned his head and greeted Shu Ya:
"Hello Shuya, how are you doing, you seem to have lost weight."
I saw Shu Ya bow her head and say expressionlessly:
"It's good, it's okay."
After that, there was silence for more than ten seconds.
In the end, Chen Yanqing broke the cold and said:
"Xiao He, let me introduce to you, this is Shu Ya's boyfriend Zhang Wendi, who is also doing business in Australia. Wendi, the one in front of you is a celebrity in the Australian real estate industry - He Tianyou. ”
"Hey, Uncle Chen, I don't dare to do this, I'm just a part-time worker for the boss...... Hello Wendi Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you. He Tianyou said and took out a business card and handed it to Wendi.
Wendi took the business card and looked at it, which read: He Tianyou, general manager of Australian Huanghan Real Estate Investment Company.
"Shu Ya has become more and more beautiful in recent years, Wendi, you are really blessed!" He Tianyou added with a smile.
Before he could say a few words, Zhang Wendi began to be a little disgusted with the general manager of Huanghan, especially the flattery he showed to Chen Shuya.
In the greetings with He Tianyou, Shu Ya never looked at him from beginning to end, but Wendi felt that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Chen Yanqing was busy socializing, and Wendi went to the bathroom again, leaving Shu Ya to rest on a chair under a screen. At this time, He Tianyou walked over, sat next to Shu Ya, and asked softly:
"When did you come back?"
"I've just been back for a week, and I'll be gone in a few days."
"I want to ask, the red tin box...... Do you still have it? ”
"To tell you the truth, I threw it away a long time ago, my boyfriend and I are about to get married, don't mention other things."
"Okay, I'll go back to Melbourne for work in a while, and I'll have time to come out and get together?"
"We'll talk about it then."
The conversation between He Tianyou and Shu Ya was clearly heard by Wendi, who was standing behind the screen and sorting out his clothes, and Wendi walked out after He Tianyou left. When Shu Ya saw Wendy, she asked:
"Why did you come back, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Oh, there's a lot of people in the bathroom, so I'll wait a little longer."
At night, Wendy lies in his hotel bed, and despite the Hollywood action blockbuster on TV, he has no interest in the slightest, just thinking about the conversation he overheard in the venue during the day.
"I want to ask, the red tin box...... Do you still have it? ”
"Red tin box?" Wendi suddenly remembered that the day before Shu Ya broke up with him in China, Shu Ya threw away a red iron box in front of him, and Shu Ya said that it was some good memories sent by a good friend.
"Could it be that He Tianyou is Shu Ya's ex-boyfriend? It can't be such a coincidence, right? ”
At the same time, Shu Ya and her father Chen Yanqing were also chatting in their own study.
"Shu Ya, how do you feel when you see He Tianyou today?"
"I don't think about it, a passerby."
"When he left you to study in the United States, you really don't hate him?"
"Dad, it's been so long since this happened, and I don't have such a good memory of your daughter. Besides, if this kind of person is kept in mind, he will only add to his own blockage. On the contrary, I am glad that he ran to the United States without even saying that he broke up, so that I could find a better choice for Wendy. ”
"Tianyou talked to me today, and he said that he was sorry for you at the beginning, and now he is based in Melbourne, and you can ask him for help in the future. So I took the opportunity to say that Wendy wanted to enter the Australian real estate market to study, and wanted Wendy to go to his company for an internship, and he readily agreed. ”
"Dad, are you okay, let Wendy go to his company for an internship, and he still doesn't embarrass Wendi everywhere?"
"I also know this, but letting the inexperienced Wendy learn in this environment will only benefit him, and it depends on whether he has the perseverance or not......"
After returning to Australia, Zhang Wendi did not want to work in the company of his rival, but this was the meaning of his future father-in-law, and he could not shirk it, so he could only report hard.
In a high-end office building in Melbourne's Central Business District, Zhang Wendi found this "Huanghan Real Estate Investment Co., Ltd.", and after explaining his intention to the front desk lady, he was taken to He Tianyou's office.
"Hello, Mr. Ho, we met last month......"
"You wait a while......" I saw He Tianyou rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find the information, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Wendi.
After a long time, He Tianyou picked up a stack of materials he had just found, threw them to Wendi, and said coldly:
"Let's read the basics first, and then come back for an interview next Monday."
"Well, I want to ask first...... Wendi wanted to inquire about the company's situation, but was unreasonably interrupted by He Tianyou.
"You don't have to ask, I don't have time to answer you now, read these materials well, Monday interview, didn't I say it clearly enough?"
Zhang Wendi rolled his eyes and left the company, feeling indignant: It turned out that this He Tianyou was a two-faced guy, and he was respectful in front of Chen Yanqing last month, but now he turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone.
At the interview site on Monday, Wendi saw He Tianyou, who was the chief examiner, He Tianyou shook his upturned Erlang legs, glanced at Wendi's resume, and said with a slight mockery:
"Wendy, I'm serious, the school where you studied for your master's degree is not bad, but your transcript ...... It's a bit rude, isn't it? ”
Wendy didn't answer, just bit her lip fiercely and smiled without saying a word.
"Okay, since Uncle Chen entrusted you to me, I'm embarrassed to refuse, and besides, I still owe your girlfriend a favor, that's it, you can come to work tomorrow."
Wendi really wanted to throw his resume directly at He Tianyou at this time, and then shouted at his cheap face: "You get out, Lao Tzu is a fucking multimillionaire now, and he will kill you in minutes!" But his calm personality once again extinguished the impulse in his heart, and standing at the door of the company, Wendy gently tapped his chest and tried to persuade himself:
"Working for someone is like this, you have to calm down."
After two months of internship in Huanghan, He Tianyou, as the general manager, found that Wendi was very active in his work, so he called him to his office and said to Wendi:
"Congratulations, Wendy, from today you have officially become a salesman in Huanghan, and now I will tell you about the salary: the basic annual salary is 10,000 Australian dollars, and the commission is 5% for each business done. Pay for the entertainment with the customer, remember not to trouble me during work, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat, so be it! ”
"A starting salary of 10,000? That doesn't seem to be even a third of the minimum wage under Australian law, right? ”
"Yes, but now there are a lot of unemployed people out there, you don't do it, and there are a lot of people waiting for this position."
"Okay, so when is the employment contract signed?"
"I'm sorry, there is no contract, and you also said that your salary is not within the minimum legal basic salary, how can the company sign an illegal contract with you and make trouble for yourself?"
After Wendy went home, she told Shu Ya about the matter as it was, and Shu Ya stomped her feet angrily after hearing it:
"This is too bullying, with an annual salary of 10,000 yuan, and there is no social welfare guarantee? They still take 95% of the business they pull, they really eat people and don't spit out bones, let's just stop doing it and use the money to start a company ourselves! ”
Wendy thought about it carefully, but still rejected Shu Ya's kindness.
"No, I also went to Huanghan to work with a learning attitude. If you don't have enough experience to start your own company, you can only end up with a dead end. ”
After a few months, Zhang Wendi worked seriously and actively, and also pulled some small businesses for Huanghan, and often helped colleagues in his spare time, so he gradually became familiar with the company's employees. When Wendi usually eats with everyone, colleagues always talk about He Tianyou's personality: it turns out that He Tianyou first worked in a real estate company in the United States, and was later fired from the company for suspected fraud, and then came to Australia because of his bad reputation in the industry. This person's greatest ability is to slap his boss's sycophants and do whatever it takes to get promoted. The second is to exploit subordinates, hand over difficult projects to subordinates, and then rush to the boss to ask for credit after they are completed. Chairman Huanghan is seventy years old this year and has a little wife in her thirties, and it is rumored that because He Tianyou and this little wife have a "super friendship" relationship, they can get along in Huanghan.
Guan Huixin, who also works hard in the real estate investment industry, also confirmed the remarks of Wendi's colleagues from the other side, and Guan Huixin also told Wendi that in fact, there are many management shortcomings in the Huanghan Group, but because of its huge scale, no other Chinese real estate company can compete with it. In the past, Guan Huixin's Halo Real Estate had the opportunity to compete with Huanghan, but since the death of her husband Lao Li, Guan Huixin has no time to take care of the company, and her business has plummeted, and now she is not Huanghan's opponent.
One weekend night, Shu Ya received a call from He Tianyou, saying that he invited Shu Ya to dinner and had something to discuss. Originally, Shu Ya didn't want to attend, but He Tianyou said that it was about Zhang Wendi, so he had to go hard.
The two sat down in a corner of a French restaurant, Shu Ya ordered a cup of coffee, He Tianyou ordered red wine, and Shu Ya declined his kindness.
"No need, I don't drink, let's talk about something quickly."
"Good! Shu Ya, we haven't sat down for a meal together for almost ten years, right? Time flies. ”
"If you come out today to catch up, I'm sorry I don't really have the time. You talk about Wendy on the phone, say this, I'm only interested in hearing this. ”
"Okay, that's fine. Your boyfriend Zhang Wendi, it's really ...... I really can't help him anymore. offended customers and leaders all day long, if I hadn't always pleaded with him, I guess I would have been fired! You owe me this favor. ”
When Shu Ya heard such a fallacy, she said angrily:
"He Tianyou, you still think that I am the ignorant Chen Shuya who let you play with it before, right? I think your brain should be upgraded every now and then. I know better than you what kind of person Zhang Wendi is in our family, and you don't have to take some trumped-up charges to him to ask me for credit. The matter between me and you has long passed, and I won't tell you that I regret it now, how could I like you when I was in high school? That's the end of our conversation, don't look for me again! ”
Shu Ya got up and left before leaving, and left a sentence before leaving:
"By the way, you don't have to pay for this meal today, I've already paid the bill. You're invited to dinner, I'm afraid of eating rotten teeth. ”
He Tianyou, who was ridiculed, sat alone in the restaurant, gritted his teeth in anger, and said to himself:
"Chen Shuya, one day I will make you kneel down and beg me!"
On Monday, after Wendi went to work, a colleague told him that the customers that Wendi had followed up had been taken away by He Tianyou this morning, so Wendi went to reason with He Tianyou.
"Mr. He, I want to ask you why you took the four customers I followed up, and I have almost finished negotiating."
"I have already said hello to the boss this morning, your customers are more important, I will follow you in the future, and I will assign you new customers later."
"And how do you calculate the commission for these customers?"
Hearing this, He Tianyou's face completely changed, and he yelled at Wendi:
"Wendi Zhang, you weren't on your first day as an investment advisor, were you? My client commission was given to me of course! If you are not satisfied, go to the boss to complain, and I will accompany you at any time. ”
At this time, Wendy bit his lip again and said:
"No need, it's just a five-percent commission, it's not a big amount, forget it!" As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of He Tianyou's office.
He Tianyou looked at Wendi's back and said:
"It's such a wreck, stupid as a pig, you don't even have the courage to quarrel with me, you deserve to be eaten by me."
That evening, when his colleagues had already gone home from work, Wendy made a cup of coffee and sat down at his desk, ready to spend the evening sorting out the customer information in hand. As soon as he sat down, he heard scolding from the conference room, Wendi listened carefully, it turned out that the boss was scolding He Tianyou.
"You've been following this customer for almost a year, why hasn't it come to fruition, what are you eating, and the company is supporting you with money for nothing?"
"Boss, listen to my explanation, Mr. James White, who owns that piece of land, is a guy who doesn't eat hard and soft, and besides, that piece of land is too sought-after, and many real estate developers have made very high offers. But don't worry, boss, I'm confident that I can overcome this problem. ”
"God forbid, don't blame me for not reminding you, Mr. White is a heavyweight in the Australian real estate industry, and the merchants who used to work with their company are now thriving. The success of this cooperation will directly affect the future development and operation of our company, if you can't do it, just get out of here as soon as possible! ”
He Tianyou was scolded by the boss and fled back to his office in disgrace, before He Tianyou negotiated with Mr. White on behalf of Huang Han three times and failed, he knew in his heart that there was little hope for cooperation, and now he can only get out of this hot potato by transferring this hot potato to others. Thinking of this, he scanned the staff area outside through the glass of his office, searching for his scapegoat. Eventually, his eyes fell on Wendy, who was still working hard after work, and called him into his office.
"Wendi, don't say that I'm a friend who doesn't take care of you, now I have a big business of tens of millions, I recommend to the boss that you will talk about it, after the negotiation is completed, you will definitely rise in the company, and I can be regarded as a favor!"
"Wow, I look up to me so much, Mr. He, thank you so much, I'll do a good job."
Although Wendi thanked He Tianyou on the surface, he knew in his heart that he had bad intentions, but he had been in Huanghan for so long, and all he had attracted were some unpopular retail investors.
He Tianyou was thinking that this was a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, and if the negotiations broke down, he could shirk his responsibility and take the opportunity to kick Zhang Wendi away. If Wendy is really lucky enough to negotiate successfully, he will take the credit for himself again.
Zhang Wendi called the White Group dozens of times before getting a chance to meet the real estate giant, and limited Wendi to only ten minutes to introduce his cooperation plan. Wendy took the cooperation plan and arrived at Mr. White's mansion on time. Built on the side of one of Melbourne's most valuable streets, the three-storey mansion covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, and is flanked by a botanical maze and a large swimming pool.
Mr. White was accompanying his son to art class, and the butler politely invited Wendy into the living room to wait. Wendy sat in the living room, waiting for two hours, but in the end it was the butler's apology.
"I'm sorry Mr. Zhang, Mr. White is going to Sydney for a meeting soon, so you can only come back at another time.
Wendy smiled bitterly and had to make another appointment, and the schedule was three weeks long. He Tianyou knew about this, so he planned to fall into the well.
"Wendi, your efficiency is too poor, I could have done it in a week, I knew that this good errand would not be handed over to you."
Wendy responded unhurriedly:
"Don't worry, in three weeks, everything will be clear."
Wendy spent the three weeks he had waited to revise the development plan and arrived at Mr. White's house for the second time as promised. The same butler, the same rhetoric, Mr. White was still accompanying his son to art class, and so Wendy waited silently for two hours.
A tired Wendy fell asleep on the sofa in the drawing-room, when he was awakened by the sound of the door shut, and saw a man dressed as an artist come out and say to Mr. White who was following him:
"Sir, with all due respect, your son really has no talent for drawing!" As he spoke, he shook his head and walked out of the door.
Mr. White walked past Wendy without saying a word, and with a gloomy face.
The last boy who came out of the study was a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old, with blond hair, blue eyes, pouting, and a drawn sketch in his hand, looking very depressed.
"Hey, little brother, can you tell you what it's called?" Wendy asked amicably, stopping the little boy.
"My name is Jacob." The little boy blinked his big blue eyes and looked at Wendy innocently.
"Hello Jacob, can you call me Zhang, can you show me what you painted?"
Jacob happily handed the sketch to Wendy, who looked at the work and found that his painting skills were immature, but he was already much better than his peers, so he gave Jacob some advice.
"Jacob, you see, your line arrangement and the thickness of the lines are appropriate, which is a very good start. But as for the aspect of the relationship between black and white, I am not very proficient, you see that if you adjust the light and shadow of this part a little, it will be much better, isn't it......"
Mr. White, who had just walked by, heard Wendy's advice to Jacob, so he turned around and asked the butler about the identity of this person, and after learning of Wendy's intention, White turned to Wendy's side and said:
"It turns out that Mr. Zhang is so young, and he seems to know how to draw, right?"
"Hello Mr. White, I'm Wendi Zhang who came to deliver the cooperation plan. Actually, I also know a little about painting, but I really don't agree with what the teacher said just now, in fact, your son has a lot of potential to become a painter, but he is still young and needs enough patience to cultivate. ”
White listened to Wendy's words, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile;
"Yes, I've always hoped that Jacob would become a good painter, but the two famous teachers before and after said that he had poor qualifications, and I was very distressed about this."
"In fact, sometimes the masters are just skilled themselves, but they can't pass on their skills to others. If you don't mind, can you help Jacob revise his sketch today? ”
With White's consent, Wendy accompanied Jacob back to the study and explained while revising, and Jacob revised the sketch according to Wendy's instructions, and he had made great progress.
Mr. White was old and had a son, and regarded little Jacob as the pearl of his palm, and when he saw his son's remarkable progress, he naturally said to Wendy with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang, you're right, famous artists may not be good at teaching skills, I hope you can give Jacob more painting suggestions in the future, leave your plan, I will consider it when I have the opportunity."
For the next month, Wendy would take the initiative to go to Mr. White's house almost every Sunday to give Jacob "technical support", and Jacob preferred the modernist and avant-garde Zhang Wendi to those old painters. Once, Wendy was about to leave, but was stopped by Old White.
"Mr. Zhang, I am going to New Zealand for a meeting in a while, and I still have fifteen minutes to go, which means that you have fifteen minutes to explain your plan to me, please come with me to the study."
Wendy has been practicing for nearly a month for today's explanation, and Wendy is very skilled in explaining the main points of the plan and the interests of both parties, and Mr. White is very satisfied with this.
Finally, Old White shook Wendy's hand and said:
"Mr. Zhang, your plan is very good, I will return to Melbourne in three days, and invite my company to sign a contract at that time."
The first thing Wendi, who overcame such a difficulty, did not go back to the company to report the good news, but quietly dialed Guan Huixin's phone......
