The day before leaving, Zhao Hongbing received a strange phone call, the other party claimed to be Zhang Fengwu's co-worker, saying that he had found Zhao Hongbing's business card from Feng Wu, guessing that it might be related, and hoping that Zhao Hongbing would save Feng Wu.

Zhao Hongbing chuckled in his heart and hurriedly asked what was going on. Feng Wu, that young man, he has a deep impression, a simple and kind young man, and some sense of justice, his co-worker called like this, something must have happened.

The worker talked about the situation in general, and Zhao Hongbing understood what was going on.

Feng Wu came to Shenzhen this time, not on a whim, he had a childhood sweetheart who came to Shenzhen to work last year, Feng Wu came to her this time, hoping to work here to earn some money, so that he could go home and get married.

But Feng Wu came to find that everything had changed, the object of the childhood sweetheart was originally working in a Hong Kong shoe factory, but later became the second wife of Hong Kong people, the object has been writing to the family saying that it is a part-time job to make a lot of money, in fact, it is all given by Hong Kong people, Feng Wu knew the truth, he was in pain, and lay in bed for three days and three nights without eating or drinking.

Zhao Hongbing and the big country borrowed the Mercedes-Benz car of the Lin General Company and drove to Guanwai, where Fengwu worked in Bao'an District, where there are many foundries and small enterprises, many of which are Hong Kong-funded, Taiwan-funded, and Japanese-funded companies.

In this era, the Shenzhen market was far from being as prosperous as in later generations, and its international status was not high, and many foreign companies just regarded it as a processing base where they could obtain a large amount of cheap labor. Even the Shenzhen municipal government, at this time, shouted the slogan: compensation trade - use extremely preferential policies to borrow outside capital and technology to develop itself.

There is no confidence and confidence at all.

The place where Feng Wu works is an electronics factory called Zhenxing, the factory area is very large, Zhao Hongbing and they were catching up with work when they came, and countless tired workers poured out of each workshop, and it is estimated that the employees of this factory are at least more than 1,000 people.

I asked a few people and found Feng Wu's dormitory, a dark room, a row of dozens of people's bunks, on top of which were shabby mats and black pillows, as well as the squeaky ceiling fan overhead, and the air was very depressing.

When the two workers at the door saw Zhao Hongbing in a suit and leather shoes, their faces were surprised, and they asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zhao Hongbing explained his intentions, and one of the younger workers was overjoyed: "Ah, you are Zhao ...... Sir, you're here, I'm Arwen, the one who called you. ”

Zhao Hongbing shook hands with Awen and said, "Awen, thank you." ”

Ah Wen was flattered and said embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, Feng Wu is good, very enthusiastic, and often helps us." Mr. Zhao, come in, I'll take you to see him. ”

Zhao Hongbing and Da Dao followed Awen inward, and saw a figure curled up on the bed motionless in the innermost place against the wall, but the light was dim and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Ah Wen shouted: "Feng Wu, your friend has come to see you, wake up." ”

The figure was motionless, Zhao Hongbing was a little worried, and leaned to the bed, only to see that the person on the bed was indeed Feng Wu, but he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and the sturdy young man was so skinny.

Zhao Hongbing saw that he didn't make a little movement with his eyes closed, and hurriedly reached out to touch his snort, fortunately, his breathing was quite steady, touching his forehead, he felt a little hot, Zhao Hongbing frowned and said: "He has a high fever, what's going on in your factory, doesn't anyone care?" ”

Awen said: "Stretch has known for a long time, but he doesn't care." Yesterday, I talked to the workshop manager, and he said that let Feng Wu settle his salary and get out of the house quickly, don't die in the factory...... Those supervisors don't treat us as human beings......"

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside the dormitory, and a few people came in with a bang, wearing the clothes of a security guard, with a menacing momentum, and the leader of a bearded man shouted: "Which is Zhang Fengwu, hurry up and pack your luggage, you have been fired." ”

Hearing this, the great power was filled with righteous indignation and said angrily: "You are still not human, he is about to die of illness, and you still have to drive people out!" ”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Hongbing and the two people who couldn't guess the way out, and said in a daze: "We don't care about this, the factory only lets us drive people, and those who quit their jobs can't live in the dormitory." ”

The big country took a step forward and scolded: "Open your dog's eyes, even if my friend doesn't work, he has to leave with dignity, and you dare to say a word again?" ”

The big country shouted fiercely, but the bearded few didn't dare to make a sound, looking at the clothes of Zhao Hongbing and the two should be rich people, the money culture in Shenshi has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, money is everything, don't pretend to be compared if you don't have money, otherwise you don't know how to die.

Zhao Hongbing said to the big country: "You go with them to settle Feng Wu's salary, and tell them that not a penny is missing, and in the world of the G production party, the hard-earned money of workers is not so easy to squeeze." Awen, you help me sort out Feng Wu's luggage, and I'll go and drive the car in. ”

Both Daguo and Awen nodded yes, and the bearded man looked at Zhao Hongbing's momentum differently than ordinary people, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Subsequently, Zhao Hongbing's two words shocked the doorman, drove the Mercedes-Benz sedan to the vicinity of the dormitory, and carried the unconscious Feng Wu to the car with Awen, and waited for a while, the big country also completed the formalities, Zhao Hongbing expressed his gratitude to Awen again, and then drove Feng Wu to the hospital.

Feng Wu woke up that night, he was young and strong, and his physical fitness was good, but his feelings were hit, and he contracted an acute cold, and the doctor gave him an injection, hung two hanging bottles, and there was nothing serious.

Feng Wu saw Zhao Hongbing and the big country, as if he had seen relatives, and after listening to what the big country had said, he couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart anymore, and cried loudly, crying for a long time before he could stop it.

Zhao Hongbing asked him what he planned to do in the future, Feng Wu looked dazed, Zhao Hongbing said that if he wanted to go home, let the big country buy him a ticket, Feng Wuyi listened, and wanted to cry again, choked up and said that the object ran away and didn't make any money, and he didn't have the face to go home.

Zhao Hongbing asked a few words, knowing what he was probably thinking, so he made the decision for him: "Then you still stay in Shenzhen, don't go to the factory to work, come to my company, and I will let the big country arrange it for you." ”

Because he was going to take a plane to Jiangcheng early the next morning, Zhao Hongbing called Mr. Liu and handed over Feng Wu to Mr. Liu for arrangement, he meant to let Feng Wu follow Mr. Liu to run sales, if he was that material, he should be able to run some future in the future.

Mr. Liu is very talkative, although his sales team is full, he still agrees to accept Feng Wu. Zhao Hongbing asked the big country to stay in the hospital to take care of Feng Wu, and then let the big country take him to see Mr. Liu after he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and after arranging these, Zhao Hongbing got on the plane to Jiangcheng.

On November 5, the Jiaohua order meeting was held in Jiangcheng, Zhao Hongbing had already contacted the section chief Wang of Haicheng Station and the section chief Bai of Jiangcheng station in advance, both of whom were old friends who had dealt with him, and had also received a lot of benefits.

After arriving in Jiangcheng, Zhao Hongbing stayed in the Yahua Hotel where Haicheng Station is located, the room was booked with the help of Zeng Li, he lived on the seventh floor, Haicheng Station lived on the eighth floor, took a bath in the room, went up and met with Section Chief Wang and others, everyone is acquaintances, and it is very enthusiastic to meet in different places, Zhao Hongbing said as usual that he wanted to have a treat, and made an appointment to eat, drink and play at night with him all-inclusive.

Section Chief Wang called Zhao Hongbing to the room and said, "I heard that you opened a company in Shenzhen, how about it?" ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "The company has just obtained the industrial and commercial license, and it has recruited people to prepare for the official opening next month." ”

Section Chief Wang said: "Is there any difficulty? ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a grimace: "Now everything is ready, just wait for this batch of goods to go back, and whether the business is successful or not depends on your old age." ”

Section Chief Wang said: "We have never treated you as an outsider, and your career naturally has to be supported." This time it is Jiangcheng Station as the host, and the supply of goods is mainly from Jiangcheng, I have already told Section Chief Bai that you will talk to him later. ”

Zhao Hongbing was overjoyed and said: "Oh, my Uncle Wang, you are really my living god of wealth, thank you, thank you so much." ”

Section Chief Wang said: "Hehe, be polite with me?" I wish you a lot of money, a prosperous business, and a big boss as soon as possible. ”

The two talked about the changes in the Jiangcheng Conference, and Section Chief Wang said: "Now that the market has gradually opened up, it is no longer the formal channels of state-run commerce that dominate the world. In previous years, the manufacturer was only responsible for production, and the first-level, second-level, and third-level stations of state-owned commercial enterprises were responsible for planning and allocating sales. Now more and more factories are gradually breaking away from this planned economy sales model, especially some large and medium-sized enterprises, but also secretly set up a distribution company, their own contract with customers, this time they came a lot, we can't control the station. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "By the production enterprises to set their own prices and sales, this trend will definitely be inevitable in the future, no one can better know the advantages and disadvantages of their products than them, so they can better and flexibly grasp the market." If the state wants to develop a market economy, it is natural to encourage this form. Uncle Wang, don't sigh, this is the general trend, individuals can't stop it, I think in another two years, after the sales system of these enterprises is perfected, I am afraid that they will completely break away from the commercial station, and even out of the national supply and marketing meeting, and hold their own order meeting to occupy the market initiative. ”

Section Chief Wang sighed with emotion: "Maybe it will really be like you said in the future, anyway, the old man has been dealing with business and trade all his life, but now he can't understand it." ”

Zhao Hongbing is the kind of person who is more and more frustrated, ordinary people will be pessimistic and disappointed when they hear bad news, but he will look for another opportunity from it, he did not sigh with Section Chief Wang, but said: "You always say that many manufacturers follow the station to participate in the exhibition this time?" You should be very familiar with them, can you find an opportunity to introduce to me, focusing on hardware manufacturers. ”

Wang Ke said: "What's this, a word of things, now they still have to ask for help in the station, they can't do without us, the old man still has a bit of face when he says a word." You get the contract done first, and then I'll call them over for dinner in the next few days. ”

Zhao Hongbing said okay, and he had already planned how to get closer to those production companies. He is a person who has come over, and naturally understands the changes in the rhythm of the times better than Wang Ke and others, and in another year or two, these manufacturers will completely break away from the commercial station and establish their own sales channels.

After chatting with Wang Ke for a few more words, Zhao Hongbing took out an envelope containing 50,000 yuan and left it for him.

Out of the room, Zhao Hongbing and Zeng Li casually took a work card for the exhibition hall and rushed to the ordering hall.

Before he came, he had already contacted Section Chief Bai of Jiangcheng Station several times, and had already passed on the number of varieties he wanted at the meeting, so he had a bottom in his heart and was not flustered.

The scale of the order meeting is much larger than in the past, and there are many business personnel from tertiary stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, and companies outside the system. These shrewd businessmen are looking for information about the availability and prices of the club, and they are thinking about how to sell them when the hall opens tomorrow. Zhao Hongbing put his work card on his chest and entered the museum, only to see that the lights in the museum were brilliant and bright, and people were busy and ready to open tomorrow.

Found the largest Jiangcheng Station exhibition site, several managers of household appliances, communications, hardware, chemical and other groups were there, and there was no one who was the head of Bai.

After greeting the managers and taking a few glances at the prices of the most sensitive varieties, I was shocked that the price of the Jiangcheng meeting had risen by about ten percent compared with the price of the Chang'an meeting.

When asked about Section Chief Bai, the manager of the hardware group said: "Section Chief Bai was picked up by some friends from those other stations today, and after eating at noon, he didn't dare to show up and hid. ”

Zhao Hongbing asked, "Do you know where he is now?" ”

The hardware manager smiled: "Who are you and him!" I can't hide it from others, but I can't hide it from you. He hid in room 2118 of the Hanfu Hotel, and we went to him because we had important matters. You ring the doorbell three times in a row, stop and ring it three times again. ”

Zhao Hongbing said with a smile: "This is like doing underground work!" ”

After thanking a few managers, I rushed to the Hanfu Hotel. In front of room 2118, I rang the doorbell according to the method they taught. Section Chief Bai opened the door, Zhao Hongbing pretended not to know the other party, and learned the joint code that everyone knows and said: "Comrade, the dragon covers the tiger!" ”

Section Chief Bai scolded with a smile: "It's you who promote narrowness!" ”

Zhao Hongbing asked: "Why is it so secretive, some people can't collect debts." ”

Section Chief Bai smiled bitterly: "What kind of debt collection, I'm hiding from trouble, it's almost like going to prison." ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Few people in the country can enjoy this kind of prison treatment, there are star-rated hotels to live, and there are many people lining up outside to give gifts. ”

Section Chief Bai said, "Where! From the Haicheng Conference to the Shuzhong Conference, in less than half a year, there were four big price increases, and people were panicked. Looking at the current market and the above policies, I don't know when it will rise this year. The difference between the state allocation price and the market price is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for us to be people. Some people can't afford to offend. The leaders of the station are experienced, although they are the hosts, none of them come, which saves a lot of trouble. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "It turns out that you are not hiding from the people in the system, but hiding from those relationships that you can't afford to offend?" ”

Section Chief Bai said: "You don't know, before this meeting started, one-fifth of the internal allocation plan went out, and none of them were in the system. Don't think about adding anything to each station this time, even the unplanned indicators have to be compressed and compressed, and some small stations have no hope at all. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "Then how did I arrange my affairs?" Brother Bai, all the brothers' net worth can be put on this contract. ”

Section Chief Bai said: "I naturally give priority to your business. Luckily, the goods you are asking for are not appliances, and they are not planned, otherwise I would have to worry a lot. ”

As he spoke, he took out a contract from the folder next to him, handed it to Zhao Hongbing and said: "This is three million goods, which will be sent to you in two months, and the goods are all made up according to the list you sent, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed, I have nothing to say to you." ”

Zhao Hongbing looked at the price of the variety, and was happy in his heart, it was not for such an iron relationship with Section Chief Bai, where did he get this kind of goods. Although the contract is nominal market price, but many of the goods are famous brands of large manufacturers, the quality is far better than peers, according to the current Shenzhen market price, even if it is not transferred to Pengcheng company retail, he can earn 20% of the gross profit.

Of course, since he and Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu are partners to open a company, but also for the well-being of the partners, this contract will use his own Oriental Trading Company as a middleman, poured to Pengcheng Company, Oriental Trading earns about 15% of the profit, which is equivalent to 5% of the space to Pengcheng Company, which is definitely lower than the market price.

It seems that Zhao Hongbing is a little at a loss, but the businessman's vision is long-term, Zhao Hongbing believes that Pengcheng Company can bring more benefits to himself, and it doesn't matter if he suffers a small loss in front of him. Besides, this kind of hand-to-hand trading is not a long-term solution, and when it comes to next year, the state will introduce relevant policies to crack down on reselling, and then the big price increase cycle in the middle of next year is basically over, and it is impossible to arbitrage such a big profit.

Zhao Hongbing took the contract, and seeing that the contract had been stamped with the red round seal of Jiangcheng Station, Zhao Hongbing said: "Our company doesn't have to worry about it this year. I'll send you the money as soon as I get back, and you send it to me as soon as possible. ”

While speaking, he took out the contract seal of Oriental Trade from his bag, Section Chief Bai took the ink, Zhao Hongbing stamped the seal, handed the first and third copies to the other party, and folded the two and four parts and put them into the Valentino bag. He took out the two bags of money that he had prepared earlier, and said, "This is the 100,000 yuan I brought to you and the leaders of the station, and you can look at the situation in the station." ”

Section Chief Bai was not polite and put the money away.

Zhao Hongbing said: "It's past half past five, there should be nothing in the exhibition hall, let's go out for a meal, and our brothers will have a good talk." ”

Section Chief Bai said: "I don't have time today, Beijing Station has made an appointment for dinner, and Shenyang Station has made an appointment to go to the entertainment city in the evening." The two of us are still trying to be empty, you just come to me at night, there is an empty room here. I have a companion when you come, and I'll give you a room card. ”

Zhao Hongbing said: "I have already booked a room at Haicheng Station, and besides, you have a lot of people here, which is not very good, so I should go back and live there." When we're done, let's have a drink. ”
