Chapter 199: Introduction
Zheng Jiefu was dumbfounded, and when Boss Zheng greeted Zhou Liwen, he realized that he had made a mistake, this stranger was not a guy who had mixed in, it turned out to be a guest invited by his old man. For a while, Zheng Jiefu was secretly glad that he didn't make a big fuss, but fortunately the old man came quickly, otherwise he would have lost his face today. But before Jeff Zheng could let go of his breath, Boss Zheng's last sentence made him stand on the spot.
"Shouting...... Uncle? β
Look at Zhou Liwen's age, it's a year or two older than himself, the old man actually wants to call him uncle? Zheng Jiefu's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak for a while.
"Stinky boy, why are you stupid today? Why don't you hurry up and call someone? Seeing his son's appearance, Boss Zheng was very angry and said, Jeff Zheng had no choice but to open his mouth.
"Don't, I'm about the same age as your son, let's go our separate ways, just call me Brother Zhou or Brother Wen." Zhou Liwen is a good person, although he doesn't understand why Boss Zheng is so polite to him, but he still understands the truth of being courteous when he has nothing to do. What's more, the friendship between him and Boss Zheng is definitely not as deep as this, and the two sides are just acquaintances. At this meeting, Boss Zheng wants to let his son call him uncle, and Zhou Liwen will not accept it calmly no matter how big he is, besides, this Zheng Gongzi seems to be a high-minded young man, if this uncle really shouts out, it will be strange if he is not held a grudge by the other party.
Without waiting for Zheng Jiefu to speak, Zhou Liwen hurriedly smiled and played the round. Zheng Jiefu's heart was finally relieved, and he cast a very grateful gaze at Zhou Liwen, and at the same time shouted Brother Wen happily.
"This kid is not big or small, no ......." Boss Zheng seemed a little angry, but then he waved at Zheng Jiefu and them: "Okay, okay, I have something to do with Brother Zhou, you can go over there to play." β
The old man finally let himself go, and Zheng Jiefu nodded again and again, and hurriedly retreated with his friends. When they were far away, the friends were gossiping about what this Zhou Liwen was all about, and why even Boss Zheng was so polite.
Waiting for Zheng Jiefu and them to leave, Boss Zheng beckoned Zhou Liwen to sit aside. They came to the smoking area of the venue, and Boss Zheng took out his treasured Cuban cigars from the humidor and invited Zhou Liwen to taste them.
Smoking cigars and sipping red wine, the two sides chatted casually, and talked nonsense that was not nutritious.
To put it bluntly, the two are basically flattering each other, and they have done a lot of work on the surface, and they seem to be talking happily.
"I heard that Brother Zhou's current company is not only engaged in logistics, but also in industry and real estate? Tsk, Brother Zhou is really not a rising star in the business world, where did he have such a large-scale career when I was as old as you and me, and I was still selling clothes and electronic watches everywhere at that time. β
"Boss Zheng has won the award, and compared with seniors like Boss Zheng, my small business can be regarded as a small fight at most. Don't look at the big stall I have now, but you know the domestic market over the years. Speaking of which, the business of several companies, that is, logistics companies, is quite so-so, and this business has to rely on the help of friends. Zhou Liwen replied very modestly, and by the way, he took this opportunity to probe Boss Zheng's tone.
Unexpectedly, Boss Zheng agreed very much when he heard it, and talked about his electrical appliance business when Zhou Liwen talked about the logistics company. Subsequently, he took the initiative to propose that the two sides could cooperate in logistics and import and export.
"Of course there is no problem with cooperation, this is Boss Zheng taking care of me, I can't ask for it." Zhou Liwen smiled very happily, but there were some doubts in his stomach, did Boss Zheng specially invite him to participate in the cocktail party today just to cooperate with him? It shouldn't be that simple, right? You must know that although this kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial, Zhou Liwen has a greater advantage for both sides. If the other party is only for this purpose, Boss Zheng doesn't need to do this even if he is Li Haifeng's friend, to put it bluntly, neither Li Haifeng nor himself has such a big face.
"What care? It's a win-win situation! Boss Zheng took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Isn't Brother Zhou in charge of the logistics over there in Haifeng?" After handing over the project to you, SITC not only saved a lot of costs, but also improved the efficiency of cargo turnover and operation a lot. Since there are such benefits, cooperation between us is inevitable, do you say Brother Zhou? β
Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded, and then the two roughly chatted about the intention of logistics cooperation, and after talking about it, Boss Zheng proposed that tomorrow he would let Guo's people go to his group headquarters to sign the contract, and in the future, his Zheng family's logistics, whether it was road transportation, warehousing or import and export, would be handed over to Guo.
Zhou Liwen didn't expect that the purpose of coming today would be so simple to achieve, and it was unexpectedly easy. In addition to being happy, Zhou Liwen didn't dare to relax, as the great man said, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. Boss Zheng took the initiative to cooperate so generously, if he just admired Zhou Liwen, or said that he had a win-win situation or something like that, Zhou Liwen would never believe it.
People who do business, in a word, are very vivid, that is, no profit can not be early. Boss Zheng is not Lei Feng, otherwise his business would not have been so big. If you have to pay, you must have to ask for something, which Zhou Liwen knows very well. But Zhou Liwen is not a junior brother, don't look at him clearly, but he just doesn't mention it or ask, pretending to be confused, planning to see when the medicine in Boss Zheng's gourd will come out.
As expected, after chatting a few more words, Boss Zheng's fox tail was finally revealed. However, his request made Zhou Liwen a little confused, because Boss Zheng did not ask Zhou Liwen to pay any price, but just made a very strange proposal.
"Your mother and wife want to see me?" Zhou Liwen's mind was a little confused after hearing this? Boss Zheng's mother and wife want to see themselves? What is the rhythm of this? Could it be that Boss Zheng wants to have another son, and he has more than enough strength to ask himself to help? Phew! This is absolutely impossible, Boss Zheng is not without a son, his son is almost the same age as himself, and this kind of thing can't be done with Boss Zheng's identity. Or, is it that Boss Zheng has a daughter or something and wants to recruit himself as a son-in-law? Make a drama in which the old lady and the lady interview the hairy foot son-in-law together? But this also seems to be a bit unreliable, Boss Zheng and Li Haifeng are friends, he should know that he and Lin Yaxuan already have a marriage contract, unless Boss Zheng and his wife have a neurotic relationship together and are ready to make their daughter smaller?
"Haifeng and I are old friends, and we are not outsiders. Yaxuan was a child in Huacheng when my mother saw it, some time ago I heard that you and Yaxuan are engaged, she has always wanted to meet Yaxuan's fiancΓ©, no, take this opportunity...... Hehe. Boss Zheng said this, Zhou Liwen understood, it makes sense, but since he has already come to the cocktail party, why does his mother have to go around such a big circle?
After Boss Zheng explained again, Zhou Liwen learned that his mother was old, her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she had been in a wheelchair for a long time. So every time there is basically no reception, except for some very close friends, they will go upstairs to chat, talk or something. Hearing this reason, what else can Zhou Liwen say? Since you're here, it's only natural to meet your elders.
Seeing Zhou Liwen agree, Boss Zheng was very happy, and then he led the way up to the third floor of the club.
In this private club, the first and second floors are open, and the third floor is not accessible to ordinary people, and even the elevator needs to be opened by swiping a special card. When he arrived on the third floor, Boss Zheng took Zhou Liwen into a study, apologized and asked Zhou Liwen to wait here, and then left temporarily.
The study was large, divided into several rooms inside and out, surrounded by ceiling-high bookshelves lined up with hardcover books, all decorated in a Victorian style.
Standing in the study, Zhou Liwen looked at the surrounding environment, he did not go directly to sit on the sand side, but walked to the bookshelf with great interest and looked at the books on it. After looking around, he took out a copy of Tolstoy's "Resurrection", the book was published in 1956, and the font on it was still in traditional Chinese, nearly half a century has passed, the book is very well maintained, except that the pages are a little yellow, basically no different from the new book.
"This gentleman likes to read?" Just as Zhou Liwen was flipping through the book, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Looking back, a middle-aged man stood behind him, this man was in his 4o years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and the whole person was polite and bookish, looking like a university professor.
"I don't like it, but sometimes I look for a book when I'm free." Zhou Liwen didn't know who the other party was, so he replied with a polite smile.
"This is a good habit, reading books can increase people's knowledge, broaden their horizons, and more importantly, people can get the truth of life from books." The man said with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't think about it so much, I just didn't want to understand it when I read it." Zhou Liwen replied cleverly.
The other party was slightly stunned and laughed, and nodded to Zhou Liwen again and again: "I don't want to ask for any explanation, can I ask your name?" β
"Zhou Liwen." Zhou Liwen stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Liwen, Liguo Liwen, what a name!" The other party praised, Zhou Liwen was funny in his heart, where was his name so noble as the other party said, the reason why his parents gave him this name was because his mother loved to eat Sullivan's biscuits the most when she was pregnant with herself, so she finally named her Zhou Liwen.
"May I ask ...... you?"
"Cai Mingjie, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhou." The other party said with a smile.
