Volume 1: Once in a Lifetime Chapter 129: Inspecting the Wharf
Tie Ming and Manager Huang drank tea and discussed things, and learned the root cause of the foreigners' troubles.
The foreigners probably saw that the Lin family was making money, and they also wanted to make a profit, so they came up with such a way to do it. Tie Ming suddenly remembered someone and asked:
"Manager Huang, is their leader a man named Luo Bencheng?"
Manager Huang nodded and said:
"That's him."
Tie Ming exchanged legs, still crossing Erlang's legs, and said:
"Manager Huang, the last time they made trouble, they directly stretched out their hands to ask for money."
When Manager Huang heard "stretching out his hand to ask for money", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, why are there beggars among foreigners? Did you cross the ocean to Shanghai to beg for food?
Tie Ming then answered his questions:
"The way foreign beggars beg for money is different from the beggars here here."
"Hmm."
Manager Huang's eyes widened slightly, looking like he wanted to hear Tie Ming's high opinion.
"Our local beggars, when they beg for money, they are like beggars, very humble, they kneel on the ground and ask you for money, but they are foreign beggars, they are completely different, when they beg for money, they jump up, stare at you, and shout loudly for you to take out the money, if you don't give it to him, he will beat you."
"Yes, yes."
Manager Huang added some tea to Tie Ming.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself."
Tie Ming thanked Manager Huang and said:
"They think they are higher than us, we are poor, we want to be looked down upon by them, we are a little richer, they are jealous, so of course they reach out and ask for money."
"It's shameless, bandit seed."
Manager Huang hurriedly agreed.
Tie Ming sighed and said:
"It's hard for us, we can't be people between rich and poor."
"Manager Song, do you know, foreigners came to make trouble, we have found the patrol room several times, do you know what they said."
"Does that mean we don't communicate well?"
"yes, that's it."
Manager Huang was excited and was about to shoot the case. He dealt with foreigners several times, and he didn't want to end up in the hands of his own people.
"The patrol house doesn't dare to offend foreigners at all, they will only bully our own people."
Manager Huang's fingers pinching the teacup were too strong because he was angry, and the upper edge of his thumb was red. Tie Ming then said:
"It is because of this that foreigners are more unscrupulous and want to be bullied. They can see that our government is afraid of them and covers them, and if they quarrel with us, as long as they pull our government out, they will bring in 'rescuers' for themselves. ”
"What a wretch!"
Manager Huang spit out these words fiercely. Who was he afraid of when he followed Dalin to the beach, and he didn't pay attention to a few yellow-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned foreigners. But every time he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat someone, he was always dragged by the government behind him, and he was shackled to prevent him from punching.
"We have brothers but no mothers, we have a father, and we are still a stepfather, so I think about how to sell us so that we can change wine for ourselves."
Manager Huang was almost red-eyed, and poured himself a sip of tea, but found that it was tasteless and not enjoyable.
"It's useless for us to complain here, we have to settle the foreigners now."
Tie Ming remembered Da Lin's request, and it buzzed like a tight spell on Sun Monkey's head, and his head was about to crack.
Manager Huang showed a bitter look on his face, and said:
"Manager Song, I really can't think of any way, I can't discuss it with them, and I can't beat them, so they take those broken machines and ask us to buy them, and they don't stop making trouble."
Tie Ming pondered and said:
"You can't use our thinking when dealing with foreigners, their brains are different from ours."
Manager Huang remembered that Tie Ming had signed a letter of guarantee with them before. Where do we need a guarantee letter for our own business, just do it, if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work, if you don't sign it, you can't sign it.
Your manager Song thinks with the thinking of foreigners, what if you have signed a letter of guarantee with them, they are not here again, this time they are not directly reaching out to ask for money, but stuffing us with things to ask for money, and the means are more clever!
"Look at what kind of thinking you can use this time, can they still listen to you!"
Manager Huang himself has not read any books, and he is a little repulsed by Tie Ming's identity as a college student. He proposed to Dalin that he simply beat up the foreigners, but Dalin did not agree and sent Tie Ming to settle the matter.
Manager Huang felt depressed, couldn't his years of experience be as good as a college student's knowledge? He, Song Tieming, has only just entered the company.
The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, waiting for Tie Ming to come up with a good idea. Tie Ming on the other end didn't have time to pay attention to his thoughts, his mind was full of how to deal with foreigners.
Tie Ming thought about it, there were too many factors to consider in this. If it is to protect the interests of the company, we can't agree to the foreigners, we can't buy their inferior goods, and this time we agreed, the foreigners are likely to think that we are weak and can be bullied, and they will stuff us with garbage next time, and they will repeat the same tricks.
However, if we don't agree to them, they keep making trouble at the docks, constantly giving us problems, making us unable to do business, and the company will continue to lose money.
"What the hell should I do?"
Tie Ming rolled his eyelids down, looking down and thinking about a strategy.
The atmosphere in the cabin froze, one thinking about a plan, the other depressed. Both of them stopped talking. A wave came over, the boat shook, the teacups fell, and the water spilled on the table. Tie Ming didn't pay attention, his elbow propped up on the table felt a burst of wetness, and when he looked down, he found that his sleeve was wet.
Manager Huang saw it, and hurriedly took out a blue and white striped handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to him, saying:
"Manager Song, wipe it quickly, it's not easy to wash the tea stains."
Tie Ming hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped it up, and there was still a large tea stain on his sleeve.
"Ah, this is the time when she went shopping with Qin Xin, the clothes she chose for herself, and before she wore them a few times, she got dirty and let her down."
Tie Ming looked at the tea stains, so he didn't regret it. He didn't feel sorry for the money, or he felt a little sorry. I'm such a big person, why are I still careless, and my clothes are dirty if I don't pay attention.
Manager Huang saw that Tie Ming's face was not very good, and wondered if he was a little seasick, so he proposed:
"Manager Song, why don't we go to the riverside for a walk, it's weird and stuffy in the cabin."
"It's okay or fine."
Tie Ming wiped it around, that big piece of tea stain still can't be wiped away, the handkerchief is dipped in a lot, there is no way, I can only go back and wash it well, now I heard Manager Huang say go out for a walk, then let's go, it is really uncomfortable to stay in this small space for a long time.
Manager Huang and Tie Ming went out of the cabin together.
"Ge-"
As soon as he got out of the cabin, Manager Huang called Xiaoge.
"Ahh
Xiao Ge was on the boat next door, and when he heard Manager Huang calling him, he hurriedly walked out of the cabin, and when he heard that it was Manager Huang calling him to clean up the tea bowls.
"Manager Song, be careful."
Manager Huang asked his subordinates to erect a small arch bridge, and he stepped on it first, feeling stable, before letting Tie Ming walk over.
Tie Ming cautiously stepped onto the small arch bridge and stepped ashore in one step.
"Yo!"
As soon as he got ashore, he was still a little uncomfortable, and Tie Ming felt a little unsteady on his feet.
"Be careful."
Manager Huang hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile:
"It's normal, Manager Song, if you stay in the cabin for a long time, you will be 'dizzy' as soon as you go ashore."
"Huh."
Tie Ming smiled embarrassedly, he was almost about to make a fool of himself in front of Manager Huang, and he also relieved himself of the siege, saying what "fainting land". It's the first time I've heard of it, but it's not a word he made up.
"I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
"Where is it, the conditions on the river are bad, and there are strong winds and waves, so let Manager Song come in person, and I have to endure this hardship, I am still a little reluctant to go."
Both of them laughed as they said this.
"Manager Song, do you feel better now?"
Tie Ming shook his head a few times and said:
"Much better, no more dizzy."
"Let's walk along the river and introduce you to this pier."
Tie Ming nodded, he also wanted to know more about the situation at the docks. The two watched as they walked. Manager Huang is like a docent to explain the business of the dock to Tie Ming one by one.
It turns out that there is a lot of common sense here. Tie Ming listened to Manager Huang's explanation to himself, and the more he listened, the more fascinated he became.
"Manager Song, look, that's our worker packing the box."
Tie Ming looked in the direction of Manager Huang's finger and saw several men in overalls loading goods into a large iron box.
"I'll take you over and have a look."
As soon as he saw the individual working, Manager Huang's occupational disease was committed, and he strode over, and pointed fingers at the workers:
"Be careful, these goods are very expensive, don't knock on them."
"We pay attention, we pay attention."
When the workers who were working saw that it was Manager Huang coming, they were like mice seeing cats, all of them shrunk their necks, and they didn't dare to look up at him, but they only dared to bow their heads and promise.
Tie Ming stood aside and watched, pouting: This Manager Huang is really a fox and a fake tiger, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, he dares to use this tone to instruct the workers. People are also human beings, hearing you teach them so much, will people feel better, and won't they scold you behind your back?
Manager Huang saw that the workers had loaded the goods, so he said to them:
"Stop for a moment, look at me, look at me."
Only then did the workers dare to raise their heads to look at him.
"This is Manager Song, who came to our dock to inspect the situation."
Manager Huang pointed to Tie Ming and introduced. Tie Ming nodded politely and smiled politely.
"Manager Song."
"Manager Song."
An older worker shouted Tie Ming first, and the others followed suit.
"Hello, hard work, hard work."
Tie Ming's tone was very gentle, with respect and gratitude for the workers, which made people's hearts warm.
"Okay, Manager Song, let's go take a look elsewhere."
Manager Huang proposed, and Tie Ming waved goodbye to the workers.
"This Manager Song is really good."
When he left, the workers were talking.
"If only he were our manager......"
