Chapter 11 Spending money is like water
The next day, Zhao Gang called Zhao Hongbing to the office of the supply and marketing department and met him with several section leaders.
They are the deputy chief of the supply and marketing department, Mr. Wang, the manager of the household appliance group, the manager of the power delivery group, and Mr. Zeng, who is in charge of the hardware and chemical groups.
Zhao Gang introduced Zhao Hongbing and said: "This is my nephew, I grew up since I was a child, he is smart and flexible, and he is quite reliable. ”
Zhao Hongbing with an affectionate smile, immediately saluted the cigarette, everyone is an old smoking gun, and after taking the cigarette, he began to swallow the clouds.
The short and chubby Section Chief Wang smiled: "The young man is good, when he saw me outside the door that day, he thought, this person must be Zhao Ke's junior, with a three-point look on his face." ”
Manager Zhang also said: "Yes, Xiao Zhao is young and promising, and he has the style of Zhao Ke." ”
Manager Wang of the power delivery group is a half-old man, thin and thin, not very talkative, only nodded with a smile, and Zeng Li of the hardware and chemical group said: "Jin Province is a large province of resources, mining equipment procurement, and the demand for our Haicheng products has been very strong, thank you for your support." If your material company has any special requirements, you can also put it forward, and everyone supports each other. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Zhang, who was like a fart, said: "Yes, don't say take care of each other, take care of each other, take care of each other." ”
Zhao Hongbing knows that doing business must have a momentum and cannot be underestimated, especially when meeting for the first time, so he is not in a hurry to reveal the purpose, nor does he show the humility of asking for others, and smiles: "This time I was entrusted by the company to come to Haicheng to purchase, ordering is a purpose, and there is a more important purpose, the company's leaders want to know about the development of Haicheng." As we all know, our Jin Province is inland, the economy is not very developed, and Haicheng has been in the forefront of the trend of development and change in modern times, is the object of our learning, so I came this time, but also with the purpose of learning from experience, I hope that the leaders will not hesitate to guide, let me learn the excellent management experience of Haicheng company. ”
Section Chief Wang looked at him talking eloquently, without stage fright, and had some doubts in his heart about his previous judgment, he thought that this was just a poor relative from Zhao Gang's hometown, and wanted to make some small money through Zhao Gang's doorway, but now it seems that this young man may really have some background, otherwise Zhao Gang would solemnly introduce him to everyone?
At that moment, Section Chief Wang became enthusiastic and said to Zhao Hongbing: "I went to Jin Province when I was young, it is a good place, I still remember how a song is sung, it is very good, yes, people say that Shanxi is beautiful...... The ground is fertile and the water is beautiful and the grains are fragrant, isn't it? ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "Yes, it is the good scenery of Shanxi sung by Teacher Guo Lanying, and my father and mother also like it." Wang Ke looks like a senior who has been to many places and has rich experience. ”
He once said with a smile: "Section Chief Wang was a soldier in Western Xinjiang, and he also followed the third-tier factories all over the three northeastern provinces, and later became a purchaser, running all over the world, he can speak more than a dozen provincial dialects, which is very powerful." ”
Zhao Gang smoked a cigarette and threw it to Section Chief Wang, who had just finished smoking the last one, and scolded with a smile: "It's good to run all over the world, but I'm addicted to an old smoker, don't hide it from you, I'm most afraid that this person will enter my house, and it will be no good thing to come in, and I won't forget to go to the cigarette after finishing my work." ”
Everyone laughed, and Section Chief Wang had a look of grievance on his fat face: "Zhao Ke, the brothers work hard with you, and you are excellent every year, and you can't give up a cigarette, I'm so sad in my heart." ”
Everyone pretended to be aggrieved and pretended to be realistic, and there was a burst of laughter, Zhao Hongbing took the opportunity to say: "I have to eat if I work hard, today I am the east, I invite all the leaders to the Shanghai Hotel for a drink, as the saying goes, tobacco and alcohol do not leave home, I personally conclude that this smoking does not drink, it is always a little uncomfortable." ”
Zeng Li was a clever ghost, he had already seen Zhao Gang's intentions, and helped: "Xiao Zhao, you are not a roundworm in my brother's stomach, how do you know that I want to drink today?" Go, I haven't drunk for a few days, everyone is tired for half a month, and today I just got together to have a good drink. ”
Manager Zhang said: "Yes, yes, after so many busy days, it's time to relax, everyone goes." ”
Section Chief Wang muttered: "Xiao Zhao is a distant guest, how can you be embarrassed to let him have a treat, Zhao Ke, I propose that everyone join together in this meal." ”
Zhao Hongbing hurriedly said: "Don't you, it's because I've come all the way to treat me for the first time, which represents my sincerity, and I can't help but give face." Besides, you are all colleagues of your uncle, and you are all your own family, I am happy to invite this guest, Wang Ke, don't talk about it. ”
Section Chief Wang smiled, and Zhao Gang also said: "Hear it, this kid has a lot of money, let him please, don't be polite later, drink to death, don't save him money." ”
Zhao Hongbing gave everyone cigarettes again, waited for everyone to light cigarettes, pretended to think about it, and said: "It's better to call Corey's colleagues and salesmen in each group, there are not many people in the Communist Party, join in the fun, anyway, my uncle gave an order, I will eat poor me today, and I won't stop until I reach my goal, I might as well get his wish as soon as possible." ”
Everyone laughed again, Zhao Hongbing's proposal is in line with everyone's minds, the atmosphere of some units in this era has not been completely broken, what kind of corruption is not common, such as Wujiaohua Company, such an oil and water unit, most of the time is to eat and drink, there are such good things The leader will generally take care of the people below, which is called a good leader.
Section Chief Wang said: "It seems that Xiao Zhao is prepared, is this posture to weigh the amount of wine in our supply and marketing department?" ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "Don't dare, don't dare, my amount of wine is not enough to mention, how dare I show ugliness in front of real people, leaders, let's say it first, it's all your people today, don't bully me as an outsider when you drink, otherwise no one will settle the bill if you get drunk." ”
Section Chief Wang didn't dare to see him, but his expression was a fearless look, and he couldn't help but move, to say that this old Wang, who has been running around all his life, has no other hobbies, but loves to drink some wine, and if he doesn't drink it, he will drink to the fullest, and he has too much alcohol, not to mention the supply and marketing department, even the entire Wujiaohua company can not find an opponent who can accompany him to drink, so that Lao Wang usually has a kind of lonely and defeated, at this time, Zhao Hongbing is tall and big, and he wants to invite the entire supply and marketing department to drink. It seems that he is ready to fight a hard battle, Lao Wang's spirits are greatly lifted, and he secretly expects Zhao Hongbing not to have a silver pewter spearhead.
The wine bureau was negotiated, Zhao Gang asked Zeng Li to go below to inform the other personnel, and a few people chatted for a while, and Zhao Hongbing said goodbye and left first.
Coming out of Wujiaohua Company, he first went to the warehouse to find Brother Dog, Brother Dog had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Hongbing, he said: "Mr. Zhao, I have found 23 offices for you, all of which have contact information, but I don't know if their purchasing staff is still in Haicheng." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of cardboard with handwriting all over it, and it looked like it was torn from a warehouse carton.
Zhao Hongbing took a look, there are company names, office addresses, contact names, and some phone numbers and machine numbers, this dog brother is very attentive.
He took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to Brother Dog, Zhao Hongbing said: "Brother Dog, you continue to find contact information for me, as long as it is a private boss who has taken the goods from the Haicheng warehouse, I will want it." In addition, he took fifty dollars from this to buy cigarettes and gave them to his brothers to smoke. ”
Brother Dog saw that he was doing things arrogantly, and he was also happy: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, as long as they send a car to pick up the goods, I will definitely leave contact information." ”
"Don't force it!" Zhao Hongbing said: "Some people who are really unwilling to stay don't force them to stay, what we do is to buy and sell, the buying and selling is voluntary, the melons that are twisted are not sweet, and the business that comes to them is not good." ”
Brother Dog nodded again and again, Zhao Hongbing explained a few more words, and then left.
At noon, Zhao Hongbing took the big country to the Hucheng Hotel first, and he booked a private room here.
Hucheng Hotel is a newly opened three-star hotel in Haicheng, which has been called magnificent in this era, and it is used to invite guests to eat and never drop the price.
When the time was about to come, the two arrived at the door to greet the guests.
There were two tall welcome ladies standing at the door, and the big country peeked at people from time to time, and was kicked by Zhao Hongbing after being discovered.
After a short time, Zhao Gang led seventeen or eighteen people to come, Zhao Hongbing hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and the sweet voice of the welcome lady said: "Welcome, please come to Xitang Hall." ”
A welcoming lady led the group to the wide staircase, which was covered with a thick and soft red carpet, and climbed the stairs to the second floor.
The entrance to the second floor is also generally carpeted with red carpets, and the walls on both sides are decorated with marble. Each of the private rooms is decorated with inconspicuous wood with elaborate door frames. The door is named after the scenic areas such as "Wuxi Hall", "Suzhou Hall", "Taihu Hall" and "Shaoxing Hall". The second floor is a different story, not as deserted as the first floor, and the sound of karaoke and singing can be heard from every private room. It's the time for the guests to eat and drink.
There is an arc-shaped seat of more than 20 meters in the middle, where there are many young ladies dressed in bewitching clothes, this is a new Miss Escort, because there are three or four ladies in the supply and marketing department, Zhao Hongbing didn't have the idea of looking for a wine companion at all, so he didn't look at it, and followed the welcome lady to Xitang Hall.
Pushing the door in, a service lady in her twenties stood at the door, and kept saying, "Welcome!" "It's very large, brightly lit, the walls are decorated with beautiful calligraphy and paintings, and the ground floor is paved with marble. There is a row of cabinets at the end of the wall, and there is a large color TV on the cabinet, and there are two large speakers with several horns at both ends of the TV. In the center of the hall are two large round tables, on which there is a large round glass plate, and on the white tablecloth, there are many pairs of paper sets of chopsticks and white dazzling cups, saucers, glass wine vessels and other things, which are placed neatly and cleanly. Around the two round tables are ten high-end mahogany chairs with beige backs.
When I closed the hall door, it was so quiet that I couldn't hear the noise of the aisle outside.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Zhao Hongbing had come up twice before, and some hospitality etiquette had been rehearsed, the big country estimated that he would not be able to step at this time, but fortunately, he was prepared in advance, and he could still bite the bullet and beckon everyone to sit down with Zhao Hongbing.
The waitress quickly poured tea for everyone. The waitress asked, "Is it time to serve?" ”
Zhao Hongbing asked Zhao Gang: "Uncle, have you all arrived?"
Zhao Gang said: "There are two colleagues who have something at home and can't come, so let's do it, it's basically all here." ”
Zhao Hongbing instructed the young lady: "It's time to serve." ”
The waitress walked to the door and greeted the outside: "It's time to serve!" It seems that Zhao Hongbing has already made all the arrangements, Zhao Gang nodded in his heart, this nephew has a set of things.
The service lady walked up to Zhao Hongbing and asked, "What kind of drink does Mr. drink?" ”
Zhao Hongbing looked at Zhao Gang, Section Chief Wang, Zeng Li and other leaders, and asked, "What kind of drinks do you drink?" ”
Zhao Gang was noncommittal, he drank an average amount of alcohol, and he didn't pay attention to what to drink, Section Chief Wang thought for a while and said: "Male comrades drink some liquor, and female comrades drink some wine." ”
Zhao Hongbing said to the service lady: "First of all, five bottles of high-grade Moutai and two bottles of medium-grade red wine." ”
The service lady smiled and agreed to go out.
Section Chief Wang said with a smile: "Let Manager Zhao break the bank." ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "It's nothing, it's nothing!" ”
Zeng Li said: "Manager Zhao is too polite! ”
Zhao Hongbing smiled, took out a cigarette from his black bag, and said: "Don't let everyone sit empty, come, gay men smoke, but there are ladies present, if you want to smoke now, you will have to trouble laboring and expensive, go to the smoking room to smoke." ”
Zeng Li helped him divide the cigarettes, and two of them really couldn't hold back their addiction to the smoking room next door, and the rest of them had reserved smiles.
Zhao Gang introduced to everyone, everyone said that Manager Zhao was young and promising, thank you Manager Zhao for your hospitality. Zhao Hongbing humbly thanked him again and again, and his demeanor was natural and kind.
While talking, the waitress and others came in with dishes, stoves, etc., and more than ten dishes were served in a while, filling a large table. Zhao Hongbing instructed the service lady to serve ten more dishes, which was not enough.
Seeing that this young man was so bold and straightforward, everyone felt that they had a good impression of him, and they lost their previous restraints. The dishes were served in plates, pots, and some with lids, and were steaming hot when uncovered. Out of ten dishes, there are five or six dishes that are not famous.
The big country is responsible for pouring the wine, and after the wine is full, Zhao Hongbing picked up the wine glass and said: "Zhao came to Haicheng from Jin Province, and got the warm hospitality of the leaders including Section Chief Zhao, Section Chief Wang, Manager Zhang, Manager Wang, Zeng Li and other leaders, thank you very much, so today I will prepare a thin wine to entertain you, I hope you eat and drink well, Zhao will inevitably have some trivial things to trouble you in the future, I hope you will take more care and take care of it." I'll take a drink first and pay my respects! ”
After speaking, Zhao Hongbing raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup happily, and Section Chief Wang was very enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to fight him immediately.
After Zhao Hongbing finished drinking, Zhao Gang picked up the wine glass and said: "Zhao Hongbing is my nephew, speaking of which everyone is not an outsider, my nephew is full of energy, I admire this spirit, but young people are inevitably reckless and not very perfect, if he has anything inappropriate in the future, you tell me, I will teach him." ”
Zhao Gang took a sip, and everyone hurriedly picked up their wine glasses, and drank a little more or less.
Section Chief Wang didn't put down his wine glass, and said directly to Zhao Hongbing: "Xiao Zhao, let's touch one, it can be regarded as my personal reception for you." ”
Zhao Hongbing did not hesitate at all, first poured himself full of wine, then picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Section Chief Wang, and said: "Wang Ke, thank you for your kindness, I will do it first as a respect." ”
After speaking, he raised his head and drank again.
Section Chief Wang was very bold and overjoyed when he saw him, and he also had a cup of belly, and said loudly: "Okay, good, I like straightforward people like Xiao Zhao, I must have a good drink today." ”
Then Manager Zhang, Manager Wang, and Zeng Li also toasted separately, and after the opening remarks were finished, Zhao Hongbing, in order to stimulate the atmosphere, immediately asked the big country to pour wine for everyone, and then began to walk through the customs, and after a circle, seven or eight glasses of wine were in the stomach, which was still a few ladies who only let him drink half a glass.
At this time, the gay men drank less and had two glasses of belly, and the atmosphere finally began to liven up, so wine is an indispensable good thing in the business field, and some things can not be said at ordinary times.
This meal was eaten for three hours, and finally Section Chief Wang was drunk, and Zhao Hongbing didn't know anything earlier, he almost drank two catties of wine, although he had made preparations in advance, he still couldn't resist the invasion of so much alcohol, fortunately, there was still a big country, this time Zhao Hongbing didn't let the big country drink more, just let him end the final checkout, as for the farewell guests, I had to bother my uncle to do it for me.
In general, this meal was very good, although there was no deep talk, but the purpose was basically achieved, and it was even more rare to make a drinking friend with Section Chief Wang, and after a good meal, the two were as close as comrades-in-arms, and the relationship became much closer.
Of course, the price of this meal is not nothing, drunkenness is small, a meal cost more than a thousand yuan, and the big country was almost so shocked that he bit his tongue when he checked out, and after Zhao Hongbing woke up, he kept nagging: Half of the money he brought when he came out was unknowingly, but the business has not settled yet, what can I do?
