。 "Zhenhua, thank you for inviting me to tea." Jin Jianbo said leisurely.

This is in the newly opened teahouse next to the Nandu Jianjun Square, Jin Jianbo and Lin Zhenhua are sitting facing each other across the small tea table. A beautiful set of tea sets is placed on the table, and the tea in the cup exudes a refreshing aroma.

Due to the entrustment of Shen Jiale, as soon as Lin Zhenhua returned from South America, he made a special trip to Nandu and asked Jin Jianbo to meet. He heard Shen Jiale say that after Jin Jianbo was released from prison, he temporarily lived in a relative's house in Nandu. In fact, Jin Jianbo's house in Jiang Shidian in the past was still empty, but he felt that he had no face to go back to see his former colleagues, so he could only live in someone else's house.

Lin Zhenhua picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, then put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Jianbo, I've been running outside for a while, and I just heard about you...... It's okay. I've been friends for many years, so I have to ask you to sit down. ”

Celebrate someone's release from prison and wash the dust for someone's release from prison...... This kind of thing sounds awkward, so Lin Zhenhua doesn't know how to express it. Fortunately, Jin Jianbo is not stupid, and everyone can express their meaning.

"It's been seven years, and it's been a lifetime to come out of the high wall. Walking on the streets of Nandu, I don't get used to it. Jin Jianbo said.

"Why don't you get used to it?"

"There are more high-rise buildings, more cars, less lesbians wearing, and ...... Mobile phones, I found that many people use mobile phones, I remember who had a big brother in the past, that was very spirited. Jin Jianbo recounted what he had seen and heard these days, and he was not worried that Lin Zhenhua would laugh at him.

"Really?" Lin Zhenhua was slightly stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Maybe we look at it every day and don't feel anything." ”

In fact, in 1995, there were really few people with mobile phones on Nandu Street, and they couldn't be compared with the 21st century before Lin Zhenhua traveled. But for Jin Jianbo, who was imprisoned in the 80s, this is already a shocking sight. He spent several years in prison. It also coincides with the period when China's economy has gone through a trough and begun to exert strength. Even in a mainland city like Nandu, there is a new atmosphere every year.

"It's been a few days in the cave, it's been a thousand years in the world, and I understand it now. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience these changes firsthand. Jin Jianbo is still sighing.

Jin Jianbo's circle of friends is not narrow, but after he was imprisoned, most of his original dog meat friends dispersed, and after he was released from prison this time. Although a few friends have come to see him, Jin Jianbo feels that he can't find any common language with them, so he often doesn't talk speculatively, and disperses after a few words. But as soon as Lin Zhenhua asked him today, he hurried over, and in his mind, he could understand his feelings. Only Lin Zhenhua is alone.

"Jianbo. Now that you're out, do you have any plans for the future? Lin Zhenhua brought the conversation to the point.

Jin Jianbo asked rhetorically: "Zhenhua, you came to me all the way, do you want to introduce me to job opportunities?" ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled again, he found that Jin Jianbo was actually a very smart person, and he could see his intentions at a glance.

"Jianbo, I am entrusted by others."

"I know, Xiao Shen begged you, right?" Jin Jianbo said, "Xiao Shen is a kind person. I'm sorry for her. ”

"There is no need to talk about this now, she also wants you to have a good home." Lin Zhenhua said.

"By the way, Zhenhua, I think of another thing. In order to help me return the stolen money, Xiao Shen borrowed 20,000 yuan from you, haven't you forgotten? Jin Jianbo suddenly brought up the old thing.

Lin Zhenhua said: "This matter has passed, and Jiale has already repaid my money later." ”

Lin Zhenhua is not lying. After Shen Jiale arrived at Hanhua Heavy Industry, the salary level was high, and after she saved money for several years, she finally paid off the 20,000 yuan she borrowed from Lin Zhenhua. The money she used to pay off her debts was all earned by herself. There is no salary for Fang Yanwu. On this issue, Fang Yanwu was not reluctant. Because he knew that if he gave Shen Jiale this money, she would feel awkward. …,

Jin Jianbo shook his head and said, "No, she shouldn't pay back this money." It's money I owe, and she's just borrowing it for me. However, it's useless to say this now, and I can't come up with the money to pay you back now. Zhenhua, you remember this, as long as I, Jin Jianbo, am still alive, I will definitely repay you with interest for 20,000 yuan. ”

"Uh...... Well, I'll just keep the accounts. Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to compromise. He knew that Jin Jianbo was a good-looking person, and he owed debts, and asked a divorced ex-wife to pay back the money for him, which Jin Jianbo couldn't bear. However, it is precisely because Jin Jianbo still has such ambition that Lin Zhenhua feels that he can still be saved. If Jin Jianbo squatted in prison for a few years and then collapsed, Lin Zhenhua didn't bother to help him.

"Jianbo, don't be in a hurry to repay the money, I think you should find a job to do." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Zhenhua, do you have any arrangements for me? I'd like to hear about it. Jin Jianbo asked with a smile on his face.

Lin Zhenhua suddenly felt a little unfamiliar with Jin Jianbo, Jin Jianbo in the past looked very sleek on his face, and there was some domineering arrogance hidden in his bones. Today's Jin Jianbo has become much more straightforward, but the impetuousness in his heart is no longer visible, this may be the transformation of people in a few years behind bars.

Lin Zhenhua said: "You have the technology, and you also have the management experience in Jiangshidian. I also saw the rules and regulations you did in the factory at the beginning, and they did a very good job. So, I think you're perfectly qualified for a middle to senior management position in a medium-sized company. If you don't dislike it, I want to hire you to take over a factory in Hunbei City in the northeast, which is a company engaged in welding equipment, and you also know it professionally. I would like to ask you to be the assistant to the factory director, the current factory director was sent by us before, and his ability is not too strong. ”

Regarding the placement of Jin Jianbo, Lin Zhenhua had discussed with Xiang Zhe and other senior executives before, and also solicited the opinions of Ye Yuancai, deputy general manager of Jiang Shidian and now Hanhua Refrigeration Equipment Company. Ye Yuancai's evaluation of Jin Jianbo is relatively objective, thinking that this person's essence is not bad, and his ability is not bad, as long as he uses it well, he should be able to play a role.

Xiang Zhe didn't know much about Jin Jianbo, but after he comprehensively analyzed some information, he also agreed with Lin Zhenhua's suggestion that he intended to use Jin Jianbo. GCA acquired 10 machinery companies in Northeast China last year, and is currently short of management talents. Jin Jianbo was imprisoned for corruption, largely because of Niu Beisheng's involvement, and both Lin Zhenhua and Xiang Zhe believed that his essence was still good.

Lin Zhenhua said this idea, thinking that Jin Jianbo would be moved, but the other party didn't even stumble, so he categorically refused:

"No, Zhenhua, I appreciate your kindness, but I still want to do something myself."

"Jianbo, in fact, if you are willing to go, it will help me a lot." Lin Zhenhua had to change his way of persuading people. Sometimes you give others a favor and others are embarrassed to accept it. But if you tell them you're doing yourself a favor, they'll be able to say yes.

Lin Zhenhua's set didn't work on Jin Jianbo, he shook his head and said, "Zhenhua, you don't have to comfort me. To be honest, I have some confidence in my abilities. I believe that if I really accept your entrustment and give me a factory, I will be ashamed and courageous, and work hard for a few years to turn a factory into a profit, it should not be a problem. In the past, Jiang Shidian didn't do well, mainly because Niu Beisheng was too a bastard, but if I changed to a more honest leader, I wouldn't have come to this point. ”

Lin Zhenhua asked strangely: "In that case, why are you unwilling to accept my arrangement?" ..., Jin Jianbo smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe it's the face that is making trouble." Zhenhua, if I say that I have always been unconvinced by you and want to compare with you, do you believe it or not? ”

"Of course I believe it, you ...... Well, you told me that a few years ago. Lin Zhenhua said. This is when Jin Jianbo was first imprisoned, Lin Zhenhua went to see him in prison, and Jin Jianbo said it to Lin Zhenhua personally.

Jin Jianbo said: "I have such an experience of being in prison, and my life has been ruined. For me, it doesn't matter whether it's rich or rich, or whether it's face. However, I still have a little bit of competitiveness left, so I want to use the rest of my life to fulfill this last bit of my wish and give myself an account, you know? ”

"I understand, I don't understand." Lin Zhenhua said, "I can understand your feelings, but I don't know what you plan to do." ”

"I want to do it myself. If I win and can make a career, I can be considered worthy of my life. If it fails, I'll admit it. ”

"You want to start your own business?" Lin Zhenhua roughly understood Jin Jianbo's thoughts.

If Jin Jianbo accepts Lin Zhenhua's help and goes to a factory in the northeast to be an assistant to the factory director, no matter how good he does, he will only borrow Lin Zhenhua's platform and still rank below Lin Zhenhua. But if he starts his own business, if he encounters a good opportunity, he may be able to soar into the sky, at least not to say that he succeeded with the help of Lin Zhenhua.

On the one hand, Jin Jianbo regards Lin Zhenhua as the only friend he can confide in his ideals, and on the other hand, he regards him as the object of his competition. It's no wonder that if Lin Zhenhua is not an object worthy of him to surpass, he naturally will not think that Lin Zhenhua is worthy of being his friend.

The human heart is really strange sometimes.

"It's an entrepreneurial age, but there are many opportunities and competitive pressure. It's the age of doing business for all, with hundreds of new businesses popping up every year and millions closing their doors. Jianbo, if you want to start a business, you still have to consider the possibility of failure. Lin Zhenhua could only persuade Jin Jianbo from the side.

Jin Jianbo said: "I think about it, I won't compete with those farmers and entrepreneurs in China, I want to go abroad and go overseas to pan for gold." At present, there are not many Chinese companies going abroad to pan for gold, and I believe that I can seize the opportunity. ”

"Go abroad! Where to? Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise.

"Africa!" Jin Jianbo replied categorically.
