Chapter 28 New Year's Day Gifts

The New Year's Day is approaching, but the customers who order cars are no longer in a hurry, and the trivial things in the office are basically busy. Except for some printed leaflets distributed in major parking lots in Xining, they did not go anywhere else.

One day, the three of them sat together in the office, Liu Zhiyang said: "I don't know what the Chinese New Year in Qinghai looks like? Will it be different from us? ”

Yang Qianxun said: "There are many ethnic minorities in Qinghai, and there should be many customs of their own ethnic groups during the Spring Festival, but ethnic minorities generally do not attach much importance to the New Year's Day. If you stay here for the Spring Festival, it will definitely be very interesting! ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "If the two of you stay, I will stay too." ”

Li Hao said: "We still talk about serious things, after the New Year's Day, we go out for a walk, first to Tianjun County, send our propaganda advertisements, and then go to Delingha, Golmud, to some coal mines, iron mines and other places to walk, we drive while asking questions, if there is a look, talk to people, but also for our future vehicles to find a way, by the way you can also see Qinghai." After a pause, he said: "I called Director Yang of the traffic management office twice, and he said that he was busy, it seems that this fellow said that he invited us to meet Shandong villagers, but in fact, he was not sincere!" ”

Yang Qianxun asked: "It's about to be a holiday, should we buy some gifts and visit them?" ”

Li Hao said: "At present, the government department that is involved with us is the China Merchants Bureau of the Economic Development Zone, and then there is Director Yang, so we should buy some gifts and give them away." ”

"What to give?" Yang Qianxun said to himself, "It would be nice if we bought more Zibo porcelain when we watched the porcelain exhibition in Zibo, Shandong, it would be beautiful and affordable!" ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "It's not easy! Online shopping! ”

Yang Qianxun slapped his hand: "That's it, why did I forget this." Immediately lie in front of the computer and search for Shandong porcelain on the Taobao website, "a lot!" You two come up with an idea, what should you buy and give away? ”

Li Hao pondered, and all kinds of porcelain seen at the Zibo Ceramics Fair appeared in front of him, weighed it for a while, and said, "It's better to send tea sets and tableware in general?" There are also ceramic knives produced in Zibo, the kind of large boxes, which contain knives, chopsticks, spoons, etc., which are very beautiful, do you see it? ”

Liu Zhiyang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and raised an objection: "This is a gift, isn't it bad if you send a knife?" ”

Yang Qianxun said: "I feel that the ceramic knife is different from ordinary knives, ceramic knives are not only knives, but also a beautifully made handicraft, I think it can." As he spoke, he found the kind of ceramic knife that Li Hao said on the webpage, and opened it for Liu Zhiyang to see. Liu Zhiyang stood next to Yang Qianxun's seat and looked at the gift box of ceramic knife sets of several colors, and he also felt very beautiful. And he said, "Okay, right?" The main reason is that the price is right, like us in the early stage of entrepreneurship, at present, we are only spending money, and we have not yet received the situation, this 158 yuan set is still acceptable! ”

Yang Qianxun looked at Li Hao and asked, "Just order a ceramic knife?" ”

Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, but we have to calculate, who are we going to give it to, and how much do we want to buy?" ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "Don't forget it, just buy ten boxes, and if there is a place where you need to give gifts in the future, you will use it on top." ”

Yang Qianxun and Li Hao both agreed, so they chose three colors and ordered ten gifts. In addition, Yang Qianxun ordered three sets of bone china tea sets, which were ready to be used as gifts in the future, all of which added up to less than 2,000 yuan.

Li Hao said again: "I forgot to tell you, Brother Wang Yikuo, Wang Yikuo, called me yesterday and asked us to go to their house for dinner on New Year's Day." I've said yes. ”

Liu Zhiyang said: "It's no problem to go, but you must not drink wine anymore." Oops, remembering the painful feeling I had last time I was drunk, I'm scared! ”

Yang Qianxun said: "It's not appropriate to go to someone else's house, right? I don't know who else is in his family, I'm not used to it! ”

One afternoon four or five days before New Year's Day, Li Hao received a call from Director Yang, saying that he was going to their company to have a look, and Li Hao said Come on, we will wait in the office. Less than 20 minutes after hanging up the phone, Director Yang had already arrived at the gate of the office building, and Li Hao immediately hurried to greet him in the afternoon.

Director Yang and a middle-aged lady entered the office accompanied by Li Hao. Director Yang said: "We are here to take a look and understand your situation. I also introduced the lady, a colleague from our unit, surnamed Liu. ”

Ms. Liu said: "We want to see, when can you go to the traffic management office to go through the procedures for road transport permits? Is there a system for vehicle management, driver management, fire protection, etc.? ”

Li Hao hurriedly said: "As for the vehicles, we have already ordered 50 units, and it is impossible to receive them at one time, a batch of 10 units, and the first batch after the New Year." After speaking, let Yang Qianxun take out the contract for the vehicle order and show it to Director Yang. Director Yang looked at it, nodded in approval, and returned the contract to Li Hao. Li Hao continued: "As for the system, we have done a good job, and we have also made full preparations for next year's work, and nearly 100 car drivers have been interviewed. As he spoke, he shouted: "Mr. Yang, you take out our various systems and show them to Director Yang, Zhiyang, you bring the information of the driver you interviewed." ”

After reading it, Ms. Liu said: "It's still a bit early, you still have to establish a vehicle ledger, a record of vehicle maintenance accidents, etc., a driver's ledger, etc., and we will come back then, if you have any questions, you can also call us." ”

Li Hao said: "Rest assured, we will do it according to the regulations!" After sitting for more than half an hour, Director Yang said, "That's it, we have to go to other companies for inspection." Li Hao immediately stood up and said to Director Yang while calling Qianxun: "Director Yang, you see that we are here to do business, you have helped us a lot, this is not about to celebrate New Year's Day, we want to invite you to have a meal, you don't go, I prepared some gifts from our Shandong, not a tribute, I originally wanted to send it to you, just when you came, just take it with you?" ”

Before he finished his words, Liu Zhiyang and Yang Qianxun walked out with a box of ceramic knives and a box of tea sets. Li Hao continued: "I don't know what to send, anyway, it's just to express a little meaning!" Pointing to the things in the hands of Liu and Yang, he said: "Zibo, Shandong is known as the porcelain capital of the north, and we bought it last time we went back, ceramic handicrafts." Liu Zhiyang hurriedly picked up and said, "Director Yang, let me mention the car to you, right?" ”

Director Yang smiled and excused himself, Ms. Liu on the side also resigned very politely, Liu Zhiyang took another set from Yang Qianxun's hand, and walked out of the office in front of Director Yang and Ms. Liu, ready to send them to the car. Director Yang stopped Liu Zhiyang: "It's Mr. Liu, right?" Don't leave yet, I'm not done yet. ”

Liu Zhiyang fell back and stood at the door looking at Director Yang. "I appreciate your kindness, but we can't accept your gifts, I hope Mr. Li can understand."

"It's not worth anything at all, it's just some good-looking crafts, and we just want to express our gratitude to Director Yang."

"Our part at work is also what we should do, but it's not right to receive gifts, thank you Mr. Li." Director Yang stretched out his hand and held Li Hao's hand, once again saying that they could not accept gifts. Li Hao saw Director Yang's serious resoluteness and sincerity, and knew that he couldn't force it, so he smiled and said, "Director, you are here like this, which makes me very unhappy, why don't we have a meal together in the evening?" ”

"I won't eat the meal, and if we have a chance in the future, we can make an appointment with a few Shandong fellows, and it's okay to have a private party."

After sending Director Yang and the others away, Li Hao said: "Director Yang doesn't accept gifts, is it because he dislikes us that the gift is too low, or is it really selfless?" Ignore him for now, contact Zhang Yi and see how he is doing? As he spoke, he picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Yi's number, "Hello, Brother Zhang, are you free in the afternoon?" ”

"Mr. Li, are you in trouble? I'll be free if you have something to do, hehe. ”

"What a model of service to the people! I'm really in trouble, you know Qingsong Huafu, right? ”

"Yes."

"How about you come after work, I want to ask you something."

"Okay, I'll get off work at half past five, and I'll go over when I get off work."

I wanted to make it clear on the phone, but thinking of Director Yang's forehead, it was better to invite him to come over and say in person that the waiter who gave the gift was to sleep.

Before six o'clock, Zhang Yi arrived at the office of Honghao Logistics. Li Hao pointed to the three boxes of ceramic knives placed on the table and said, "This is your ceramic knife produced in Zibo, Shandong. As he spoke, he opened a box: "Look, very exquisite handicrafts, we specially bought them in Zibo, and there should be no ones for sale here." It's New Year's Day, a little gift, thank you and Liu Bureau, Yu Bureau, if it weren't for your help, our things wouldn't be so smooth, if you encounter trouble in the future, you will inevitably find a fellow villager to help! ”

Zhang Yi said: "I won't say much kind words, what to help or not, we are the government investment bureau, you are an investment enterprise, it is right to help you, as long as it is an internal matter, of course we are duty-bound." As for the gifts, there is no need, but I will bring your sincerity to us Liu Ju and Yu Ju. ”

"Why don't we invite your leaders to have a meal together to express your gratitude? Last time, you invited us, but we haven't had a chance to thank you. ”

"I still need to report this to the leader, and it also depends on the leader's time, so let's talk about it later. If nothing else, I'll go back first. Zhang Yi said and stood up, ready to leave.

"Hey, fellow, after all, it's a little thing in our hometown, or don't you care about your leaders, you can take a box?" Yang Qianxun said to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi waved his hand, "No need, goodbye!" ”

Watching Zhang Yi walk out of the door, the three of them looked at each other, and now they smashed their hands, although the money is not much, but it is also a trouble if the things cannot be delivered.

On the morning of New Year's Day, the three of them went to the office as usual, and at ten o'clock, Li Hao received a call from Wang Yikuo. Li Hao put down the phone and said to Yang and Liu: "Brother Wang said that he would come to our office for a while, and then take us to his hometown of Datong to eat and play." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "We can't go empty-handed, right? Why don't you send a box of ceramic knives too? ”

Li Hao said: "With a box of ceramic knives, when I go out and see a fruit seller, I buy some more." ”

When Wang Yikuo took the four people to their office, Yang Qianxun had just washed the tea set and was busy working next to the coffee table. Li Hao greeted him and shook hands with Wang Yikuo: "Haha, Brother Wang, I came to invite us in person, I'm really a little flattered!" Sit down, I know you are coming, we Mr. Yang have made all the tea, come, sit here. He put the other two men and two women on the couch and moved the chairs to sit across from them. Yang Qianxun poured tea while greeting them and motioned for them to drink tea. looked at a few people, one of the ladies was Wang Yikuo's wife, named Sun Haiyan, and the other was Brother Yu who had dinner with us last time. The remaining two don't know each other. Wang Yikuo introduced each other at this time, it turned out that another man was driving in a government department, named Wang Hui, and the other lady was his girlfriend Li Hongying. Later, I heard Sun Haiyan introduce that Wang Hui's wife split her legs, and Wang Hui knew about it, and the two of them had a big fight, but they haven't divorced yet, and now they are playing their own games. Yang Qianxun thought, how can Qinghai be such a clean place with high sky and light clouds and refreshing weather, there will be such a thing!

After sitting in the office for a while, Wang Yikuo said: "We are going to Datong County, and it takes about an hour to drive, and it is almost eleven o'clock, so let's go to the place and drink again, right?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up one after another, and Yang Qianxun didn't care about tidying up the office, so he took out a box of ceramic knives, locked the office door after everyone walked out of the door, and walked out together.
