Chapter 3 Business Partners
Zhao Hongbing made a promise, and then called Mr. Lin.
A few days ago, he had already contacted the other party to inform him of the itinerary, and Mr. Lin was very happy to hear it at the time, and asked Zhao Hongbing to tell him the exact time when he came; On the one hand, he asked the people below to find a house, and the furniture, electrical appliances, and kitchen utensils had to be placed, so he was prepared that Zhao Hongbing would not let him go as soon as he came.
Calling Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin was very happy, and immediately blamed why he didn't tell him earlier, so that he could send someone to pick him up in Guangzhou, Zhao Hongbing said it didn't matter, and then told him about the two girls.
Mr. Lin said that this was a trivial matter, and he immediately arranged for the company to issue an invitation letter, and there was no problem with the company guaranteeing that there was no problem in entering the customs. asked the names and ID numbers of the two women, and asked Zhao Hongbing and the four of them to wait at the pass.
After about an hour, Jingzi drove a black Mercedes-Benz over, and Mr. Lin sat in the back.
Zhao Hongbing said embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, why bother you to come here in person." ”
Mr. Lin said: "I originally planned to pick you up in Guangzhou, but you didn't tell me the itinerary, so I had to meet you halfway." ”
Jingzai took out the invitation letter and gave it to Zhao Hongbing, who handed it to Qiu Ying and Chunmei, and said, "Where are you going after passing the customs, I will send you off." ”
The two girls looked dazed, and Chun Mei said, "We want to find a place to work." ”
Zhao Hongbing is a good person to the end, and said: "Then to the talent market, does Mr. Lin know where there is a talent market nearby?" ”
Mr. Lin said: "Not far after entering the customs, there is a big talent market in Futian District, which is directly under the Municipal Labor Bureau, and it is very formal, and they can be sent there." ”
Zhao Hongbing and the big country checked the border guard certificate at the pass, and then the four of them got into Mr. Lin's Mercedes-Benz car, Qiu Ying and Chun Mei He had ever sat in such a luxury car, and their expressions were restrained for a while, and they didn't know where to put their hands.
Soon arrived at the talent market, the two girls got out of the car in a daze, feeling that today's encounter was as incredible as the story, they expressed their gratitude to Zhao Hongbing and Mr. Lin, after all, Chun Mei was bolder, and said to Zhao Hongbing: "Big brother, you are really a good person, I don't know if I can see you in the future." ”
Zhao Hongbing took out a business card and handed it to them, saying, "It's my phone number, call me if you have something." ”
Qiu Ying suddenly said: "Then what's okay?" ”
Zhao Hongbing smiled: "It's okay when you're fine, go out together when you have time, don't forget, we're already friends." ”
The two girls smiled comfortably, Zhao Hongbing said goodbye to them, and the black Mercedes drove away, and they could still be seen waving from the rearview mirror.
Mr. Lin said: "Manager Zhao is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, which shows that you value feelings and I like people with temperament." ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "When you go out, you can help." I always believe in the saying that those who help others will always help them. ”
Mr. Lin was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" Manager Zhao, don't laugh, I don't read much. ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "Mr. Lin just goes to school less, and he has a lot more knowledge about being a person and doing things than me." This sentence is an old saying, which probably means that when you help others, others receive help, and you gain more. ”
Mr. Lin praised: "Yes, this sentence is interesting, I have been in business for so many years, and I have done some bad things, but more of them are good deeds, because with my experience, you have helped others, and you may be able to get help from others somewhere in the future, which is very important for our businessmen." ”
The two talked all the way, and the car quickly arrived at its destination.
Mr. Lin's company is called Changsheng Trading, and the company is on the third floor of Jiale Building, Zhenxing Road, Futian District, although it is not very large, it is very delicately arranged, clean and tidy. The office hall is divided into many office files by partitions, and more than 20 people are busy, and when they saw Mr. Lin coming, they all stood up.
Mr. Lin waved his hand to keep them busy, and took Zhao Hongbing and the big country to his big office.
The office is about thirty or forty square meters, a boss desk occupies one end in a grand manner, the boss desk has all kinds of pens, paper and other things, and a feng shui wheel is turning dripping, which is very eye-catching, this kind of thing is not available in the mainland.
Behind the boss's desk is a black leather chair, and behind the chair there is a row of bookcases against the wall, in which are placed a number of 16-karat hardcover books on economics and management, biographies of celebrities, and a few antique porcelain. The ceiling is a plaster ceiling, Roman ornamentation, hidden lighting, and the light is very soft.
At the other end of the office, there is a large beige marble coffee table surrounded by an off-white leather sofa on three sides. There is a set of very particular kung fu tea sets on the large coffee table, purple red ceramic cups, tea strainers, pear wood cup clips, etc., all of which are complete.
Mr. Lin invited the two to sit down, and then asked Jingzi to make tea for them, and said to Zhao Hongbing: "I'll call Lao Liu and ask him to come over and pick you up together." ”
Mr. Lin's mouth of the old Liu is with Zhao Hongbing did business with Boss Liu, Boss Liu listened to Zhao Hongbing's advice, when the price was called, boldly bought a batch of mechanical and electrical materials, and made a lot of money, since then everyone will praise Zhao Hongbing's vision, then heard Mr. Lin say that Zhao Hongbing arrived in Shenzhen, very happy, can hear his laughter on the phone.
Mr. Lin hung up the phone and said, "Mr. Liu will come soon." Let's not be idle, how about trying my treasured best Tieguanyin? ”
Dongguang people like to drink kung fu tea, and many arts and industries have been derived around drinking tea, and they also like to talk about business in teahouses.
Zhao Hongbing took a sip, feeling bitter in the mouth, and the aftertaste was very sweet, and then looking at the big country, he had already poured the whole cup into his stomach.
Jing Zai, who was waiting to pour tea on the side, said with a smile: "Guozai, you have to drink it slowly, you can't taste it in a big gulp." ”
Mr. Lin sat on the sofa with Zhao Hongbing and chatted. Mr. Lin asked how to deal with the procedures of the original unit, whether the family was properly arranged, and whether the mother and father were in good health. Zhao Hongbing said them one by one.
Zhao Hongbing talked to Mr. Lin and felt that he was a very careful person, and the seemingly simple greeting taught Zhao Hongbing not to think about it. Zhao Hongbing hurriedly changed the topic and asked how the sales of those batches of goods were, and Mr. Lin said: "Very good, very good!" Let's not talk about this today, tomorrow you come to our company for a few days, and you will know everything. ”
As he was talking, Boss Liu rushed over, it turned out that he was working in an office building not far away, but like Zhao Hongbing, it was also a leather bag company, and the only thing that was better was that he had a fixed office address.
When Boss Liu saw Zhao Hongbing, he was very enthusiastic, shook his hand and sighed: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Manager Zhao is finally here." It's still Mr. Lin's words, don't leave if you come, let's do a career together in this golden place. ”
Zhao Hongbing said politely: "Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu are so kindly invited, Zhao dares to disobey his orders, as long as the time is right, I will definitely help the two of you." ”
Mr. Lin laughed and said, "Don't be so literate, everyone seems to be angry, it's a family when you come, and you have to help Manager Zhao in the future!" ”
What Boss Lin values most is Zhao Hongbing's connections and supply of goods, as long as the supply problem is solved, the scale of the company will definitely be able to go to the next level.
The three of them sat down to talk, and the big country and the elf boy consciously withdrew from the office.
Mr. Lin personally poured tea for Zhao Hongbing and Mr. Liu, sat down and said: "I have been in Shenzhen for more than ten years, and I have done a lot of business, and now I am only ready to make hardware and building materials, why?" Because I see the development speed and development potential of the city, now is the scene of the big work everywhere, we have absolutely no problem doing hardware and building materials, and this business has sufficient cash flow, unlike those who do engineering, once the funds can't keep up, they don't know how to die. ”
Mr. Liu nodded and said: "Mr. Lin is very accurate, I have a friend in the municipal party committee, he revealed to me a government plan, Shenzhen is ready to complete the removal of the old and the construction of the new in two years, and at the same time in several districts, including outside the customs, there are a large number of real estate preparations, in this way, building materials are absolutely indispensable, this is a big opportunity." I have been engaged in mechanical and electrical equipment before, after listening to Mr. Lin's words, combined with some insights and my own thinking, I decided to join hands with Mr. Lin to engage in the hardware and building materials business, and now I will wait for Manager Zhao to be in place. ”
Boss Liu is also a northerner, but he came to Shenzhen a few years earlier, and this person's courage is worse than that of Mr. Lin, but his vision for doing business is still very accurate.
Zhao Hongbing pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for the love of the two big brothers, I can't help but be afraid. When I first came to Shenzhen, I didn't know much about it, but I still had some experience based on some people and things I had come into contact with before. The Shenzhen market is a very peculiar place, which completely breaks the inherent price concept of factory price plus wholesale price, land difference, and batch zero difference in the mainland. The price here is a free and open price system, and the market price is completely regulated by the market. As long as you can sell it, you can set whatever price you want. Therefore, while we see the opportunity, we should also be mentally prepared to fight a tough battle, because there will inevitably be fierce competition. ”
After saying this, Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu nodded one after another, and Zhao Hongbing said: "But we are not afraid of competition, on the other hand, the fierce competition shows that the profits are considerable." We have our own advantages, Mr. Lin has been doing this for many years, has rich experience and perfect sales channels, Mr. Liu has broad contacts and shrewd vision, in addition to our stable supply channels and low price advantages. Some people say that Shenzhen is a place where time is money and efficiency is life. Then I will follow the local customs, I will investigate the company and the market as soon as possible, if I think it is feasible, then I will stay and start a business with the two eldest brothers, if it is not feasible, we are still friends, or business partners. ”
"Good!" Mr. Lin praised: "Manager Zhao said well, I deeply sympathize with some words, but I can't say such a level." My general idea is that if Mr. Liu joins and Manager Zhao is willing to stay, then we will re-create a new company and jointly control the operation of the company with the shareholding situation. ”
Mr. Liu said: "No problem, I am very optimistic about this project, if it is feasible, I am willing to come up with a million funds, there should be no problem." ”
Zhao Hongbing did not make a decision immediately, he still needs to investigate, not only to inspect the market, but also to inspect the character of partners, and immediately said: "Give me a week, I will raise funds by the way." ”
Mr. Lin said okay, the three of them chatted for a while, Mr. Lin said to go to dinner first, and then asked Jingzai to drive, Mr. Liu drove a Toyota car by himself, Zhao Hongbing let the big country sit in Mr. Liu's car, and he got into Mr. Lin's car, and the two cars went out of the Knorr Building.
Turn around first to a residential area not far away, called Shuiquan Garden. Mr. Lin found a house for Zhao Hongbing here, and asked them to put their luggage in the house first.
There is a security guard at the entrance of the community who issued a car card, and the community is full of six-story buildings, which are unusually quiet and elegant, with flower beds and grass, and green trees, which is a very good living environment. The car stopped in front of a building, and Jingzai said, "It's here, Gate 3 of Building 19, on the fifth floor." ”
Mr. Lin said to Jing Zai: "You send Manager Zhao and them up." ”
A few people came to room 502 on the 5th floor, opened the door and entered, there were white floor tiles inside, and there was a 29-inch Sony color TV on the TV cabinet in the living room, a set of triple sofas and coffee tables.
Two bedrooms, the large room has a double Simmons, dresser and wardrobe, and the small room also has a single bed and wardrobe, and even the curtains are installed, all new. There are balconies in the living room and outside the large room with lots of light. The kitchen and bathroom are also fully equipped, and the bathroom has a newly enclosed shower room. The whole house is not big, but it looks very clean and warm.
Jingzai took out the key and gave it to Zhao Hongbing, and said, "I have already cleaned the house, Manager Zhao sees that there is something inappropriate, let Guozai clean it up." ”
Zhao Hongbing thanked him, and the big country simply placed the luggage, and then went downstairs with Jingzi.
The car went around Shennan Avenue from Huaqiang North Road, passed by Rainbow Shopping Mall and Shanghai Hotel, drove a relatively desolate road, came to a place, and saw five neon characters of "Nightless Food Street" from a distance, flashing constantly. When the car is nearby, there are restaurants one by one, the lights are brilliant, and there are big neon signs in front of the door. Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Northeast cuisine are all available, and it was originally a large restaurant street. The car drove to the parking lot, and it was full of cars parked there, and most of them were imported cars.
After getting out of the car, a few people walked out of the parking lot, and before they reached the entrance of the food street, they saw a group of young women gathered there, throwing winks at the diners coming and going, and the eyes of the big country and the elf boy slid over these women, excited.
Walking into the food street, there are more of these women, and the front of every restaurant is like a market, which can be regarded as an eye-opener for Zhao Hongbing. After walking through so many places, Zhao Hongbing has never seen the san escort woman so prosperous, in rows and rows.
Mr. Lin asked Zhao Hongbing: "What flavor does Manager Zhao like to eat?"
Zhao Hongbing said: "I've been running outside for a long time, I'm used to eating any kind of food, Mr. Lin, you are at will." ”
Mr. Liu said: "Then eat seafood!" When northerners come to the sea, they have to eat seafood. ”
Mr. Lin said: "Okay, then go to the old place." ”
Several people came to a seafood restaurant with the word "Changxing" flashing on the signboard. The scale of the restaurant is very large, and it is relatively large in this food street. Walking to the door, when the counselor saw it, she hurriedly shouted respectfully: "Hello boss! Mr. Liu is good! Hello gentlemen. ”
It turned out that the restaurant was opened by Mr. Lin himself. Mr. Lin asked: "Is there a private room?" ”
Miss Counselor said, "There are five more!" The counselor led them to a private room on the third floor and sat down. The layout of the private room is obviously different from that of the general hotel, some of which are for dining and eating, some of which are for karaoke, and there is a small room next to it, but I don't know what it is used for. At the back of this small room is the bathroom.
Mr. Liu handed everyone cigarettes, and when he handed them to the big country, the big country said: "Thank you, I won't!" ”
Mr. Liu said: "How can anyone who does business not know how to smoke." Come, take a draw, play. ”
The big country looked at Zhao Hongbing, Zhao Hongbing nodded, and the big country reached out to take it.
Jingzi hurriedly took out a lighter and lit it for Mr. Lin and others, and he also took out a cigarette and smoked it. At this time, a young man in a dark blue suit and tie came in, followed by a woman in a suit of the same color, walked up to him, and also respectfully shouted: "Boss! And nodded to Mr. Liu and Zhao Hongbing with a smile.
Mr. Lin stood up and said, "Let me introduce you." This is the company's new Mr. Zhao! ”
The young man and the woman said to Zhao Hongbing: "Mr. Zhao is good! ”
Mr. Lin introduced to Zhao Hongbing again: "This is Manager Liang and Minister Sun of this restaurant. ”
Zhao Hongbing stretched out his hand to Manager Liang and nodded to Minister Sun.
Manager Liang held Zhao Hongbing's hand and said, "I've heard of Mr. Zhao for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" It seems that this Manager Liang is also a person who can speak well, listening to his accent, but he is a straight Mandarin, not like a native of Dongguang.
Mr. Lin said: "Manager Liang is a college student, and he used to be a manager in a state-owned hotel, and he has a very good set of management. ”
Zhao Hongbing asked Manager Liang: "What university did Manager Liang graduate from?" ”
Manager Liang replied: "Shandong University, the eighty-third session, what about Mr. Zhao?" ”
Zhao Hongbing said solemnly: "I am from the Social University, the eighty-second class, one year higher than you. ”
Mr. Liu laughed, Manager Liang couldn't help laughing, Minister Sun snorted, only Mr. Lin hadn't come to his senses yet, and said: "You are all graduates of famous universities, I envy you!" It's a pity that I happened to be exercising when I was in school, so I didn't catch up with the good times. ”
Minister Sun hurriedly leaned into Mr. Lin's ear and whispered, and Mr. Lin knew that Zhao Hongbing was joking, pointed at him and smiled: "You, you, make me ugly." ”
Zhao Hongbing said: "It's not that Mr. Lin is ugly, it's me, I'm just a shallow learner, I only studied secondary school, and I can only brag in front of a high-achieving student like Manager Liang,"
Manager Liang said: "Mr. Zhao is too modest, I heard Mr. Lin say that your literary and eloquent talents are unmatched, and you have created a great career at a young age, which is much better than us!" ”
Mr. Lin said: "Yes, you are either college students or secondary school students, which is much better than me, a primary school student." ”
Manager Liang added: "I think the higher the academic qualifications, the more restrictive people's thinking and development. For example, Mr. Lin, although you have not gone to much school, you are an example for us to learn from in life and work, and career achievements. We have only stepped into the society for a few years, no experience, no experience, how can we catch up with you! ”
Manager Liang's words are very useful. Mr. Lin smiled and said to Manager Liang: "Mr. Zhao just came from the mainland, and he will be picked up and washed for him today, you can arrange it and be rich." Manager Liang and Minister Sun were ordered to arrange it.
