Chapter 4: Old Friends
The next day, Zhou Liwen had a busy day in the company, and after getting off work, he did not work overtime but took a car directly to a hotel on the outskirts of the city. Last night, he said to his parents that he would not go over today, which was just an excuse for him, because time was tight, and there were still some private matters to deal with in Shanghai, since he talked to Mr. Chen yesterday, Zhou Liwen began to think about how to take advantage of this opportunity.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the time was still half an hour away from the appointment, and my friend hadn't arrived yet, so Zhou Liwen asked the waiter to pour a glass of water, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.
As his father Zhou Lin said, going to Huacheng is indeed a rare opportunity, whether he stays in Huacheng to work or return to Shanghai in the future, it will be of great benefit to Zhou Liwen. However, it is slightly different from his father Zhou Lin's thoughts, Zhou Liwen still has his own little abacus in his heart, and now he is not a hairy boy who didn't know anything back then, although the southeast company is only a branch, but in Zhou Liwen's eyes, this position is extremely critical.
As a cashier, as the head of the asset management department, and a second entrepreneur himself, Zhou Liwen can be said to understand the cruelty of society better than most people, and the so-called success is absolutely impossible with hard work alone.
This time, the problems in each branch are really ridiculously tight in Zhou Liwen's eyes, holding the power of branch management, these branch managers actually do such inferior means of embezzlement of public funds, it is really a fool. In Zhou Liwen's view, the biggest wealth of a large state-owned enterprise like the group is actually the group itself and its huge resources. What money can't? Why do you want to do something like this idiot?
Since yesterday, Zhou Liwen has been carefully considering this problem, the failure of entrepreneurship in later generations and the hardships of starting a business again, so that Zhou Liwen to the shopping mall An eternal truth, that is, if you want to succeed, you must have a deep background and resources, without these two, no matter how hard you work, you can't get real success, and it is precisely these two items that are extremely difficult to obtain in the eyes of many entrepreneurs.
The nature of state-owned enterprises is destined to be different from that of foreign capital and private enterprises. In fact, in some respects, it is very comfortable to live in a state-owned enterprise, and it is not uncommon for department leaders with a little power to privately count votes and report accounts to make extra money. However, there is one point, there is a red line that state-owned enterprises must not touch, this red line is like a 3o thousand volt high-voltage line, whoever touches it will die.
The embezzlement of public funds by the branch manager touched this red line, and he actually had the audacity to touch the "high-voltage electricity" to find death, who would be finished if they were not finished? For Zhou Liwen, in addition to not touching this red line, he can do a lot of things with the company's resources, and no one can find fault with him by these means, and at the same time, he can get great benefits from it.
A plan gradually emerged in Zhou Liwen's mind, according to his repeated calculations, as long as it was done, he would be able to obtain an unusually rich return in a very short period of time without risk......
"There are too many cars on the road, and the road is jammed, so I'm not late, right?" I don't know how long later, a short and fat guy sweated profusely into the hotel, stood at the door and looked around a few times, and saw Zhou Liwen sitting in the corner hurriedly waved at him and walked quickly.
"I just came here, why is it so hot?" Zhou Liwen smiled and beckoned the person to sit down, and beckoned to the waiter: "Let's have a bottle of cold Coke first, and then bring us the menu." ”
After a while, the coke came up, and the fat man took it from the waiter's hand without hurry, unscrewed the bottle mouth, raised his head and poured a few sips, and then hiccuped before touching his stomach and saying comfortable.
"Something to eat?" Zhou Liwen couldn't help but smile when he looked at him like this

The fat man glanced at Zhou Liwen in surprise, didn't order, but was very vigilant: "No! Do you want real money to come back to this place? First of all! Recently, my brother is also poor, don't ask me to borrow money, if you don't have money, you want to cut the meat yourself. ”
As he spoke, he patted his belly, which was two feet eight, and the fat rose and fell like water waves under the palm of his hand, which made Zhou Liwen really cry and laugh.
"You can't spit out ivory in your dog's mouth, can't you get together with old classmates?"
"Hey......." The fat man smiled happily, opened the menu and looked up and asked the waiter standing aside, "Do you have bear paws?" Let's have a couple! Dry abalone at both ends to make a pair of ....... ”
The waiter was dumbfounded, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Nothing?" The fat man stared at the waiter seriously, and when he saw the waiter's little girl blushing and nodding embarrassedly, he sighed and said helplessly: "Hey...... I don't have to do anything I want to eat, forget it, let's have a braised pork with eggs, then a mapo tofu, and a steamed osmanthus fish ....... ”
After ordering six dishes and one soup in one go, and ordering a few bottles of cold beer, the fat man stuffed the menu into the waiter's little girl's arms and waved his hand: "That's all, so-so will eat ......." ”
Waiting for the waiter girl to leave, Zhou Liwen's laughter couldn't be held back anymore, this guy is still the same, and he hasn't changed at all.
This fat man's name is Guo Tao, he is not an outsider, he is Zhou Liwen's classmate and child. It's just that when he graduated from junior high school, Zhou Liwen was admitted to high school, and Guo Tao entered a technical school. After graduating from high school, Zhou Liwen went to college, and Guo Tao entered the auto repair shop after graduating from technical school. Speaking of which, Guo Tao is the first to get married in Zhou Liwen's circle, and now his baby sons are four years old.
Guo Tao is not tall, just 1.7 meters, and he has been \ since he was a child.
1onetbsp; u957f got fat, and the whole person smiled round and honest. However, it would be a big mistake to think that he is an honest man, this kid is purely the kind of character with a pig-like face and a bright heart, with a lively brain, a sweet mouth, and a ghost with a belly, otherwise how could his master deliberately look down on this little fat man and marry him his pearl in the palm of his hand?
The dish came up quickly, drinking beer on the dish, Guo Tao chatted casually with Zhou Liwen, two glasses of wine in his stomach, Guo Tao took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Liwen, and then lit it himself.
"Tell me, what's the matter with inviting me to dinner for some reason? Don't tell me that you really want to borrow money, you kid is much more chic than me if the whole family is not hungry, tell you the truth, my salary is directly handed over to my wife to manage, if you borrow one or two hundred, it's no problem, and you have to go home and make an application report. ”
"Where do you want to go, don't worry! I don't ask you to borrow money! Zhou Liwen smiled and gave him a reassuring pill first, but then again, he was still very grateful to Guo Tao for this answer. Guo Tao's economic situation is very clear to him, and it is indeed heartfelt to be able to say such things. Between friends, it is very rare to be able to do this, Zhou Liwen still remembers that he owed a lot of debts after the failure of his business, and begged people to borrow money and begged relatives and friends but did not borrow much, or Guo Tao didn't say a word after learning about it, and hid from his wife to take out the 100,000 yuan he originally planned to run a private auto repair factory to pay off the debt for Zhou Liwen.
As the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. To measure whether a friend is a true friend, it depends on whether the other person will reach out and give you a hand when you are in the most difficult time. Just like Guo Tao, don't look at him who usually picks at the door, but at the critical moment, he is unambiguous, if Guo Tao hadn't helped him like this, Zhou Liwen would have even been ready to sell the house.
For Zhou Liwen, Guo Tao is a friend who is truly worthy of trust, and he can be completely trusted, which is why he thought of him for the first time and specially invited him here.
