Episode 52 People in the rivers and lakes (forty-three) refer to Sang and scold Huai

Since the reform and opening up in the eighties of the last century, businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have come to City A to start a business, these people can not only bear hardships and stand hard work, but also are very righteous, and they are like fish in water in the business field, and their minds are quite flexible.

Among the many businesses of 'Jihong Company', one is done with some southerners, that is, in the prosperous area of City A, a department store was built, because he did not know much about the department store retail industry, Liu Sheng did not arrange the company to hold, he planned to use this company, and the southern businessmen to have a good relationship, so as to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and help each other.

Soon, under the construction of the construction company first acquired by the "Jihong Company", a five-story department store was successfully completed, and the investment was not very large, and the directors of the "Jihong Company" did not care about this small investment at all, and handed it all over to Liu Sheng.

After several years of interaction with Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen, Liu Sheng found that these Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen are really amazing, don't look at them themselves do not have much money, but once they encounter a big investment, they can roll out a huge amount of money within a few days, and later he learned from his partners, "The reason why Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen dare to go south and north, relying on a letter alone, only believe and do not stand, and the fellows are very grouped, only partners in cooperation, no competitive opponents, this is also their trick and means to make a fortune." ”

Since Lao Fu was determined to go to the small county to do the 'local jade' business, Liu Sheng immediately thought of the southern businessmen who came to the small county to collect jade, and hoped that they and their partners still knew each other. It is the first place.

In another remote corner of the 'Jihong Hotel', Liu Sheng arranged a table for these people, not only invited partners to help him accompany him, but he also prepared to meet them in person, wanting to learn some recent market information about this "local jade" from their mouths.

Walking into the private room, Liu Sheng choked on a big smell of cigarettes and alcohol, he covered his nose with a handkerchief, and walked into the private room again, and all the people in the room stopped drinking and talking.

"Everybody's listening. This is my partner, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu Sheng, today's dinner, he invited, this big hotel, is also the industry of Mr. Liu's company, "a man in his thirties from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, introduced Liu Sheng to a room full of fellow villagers.

"Mr. Liu. What a young and promising person! "An older middle-aged man stepped forward, and as soon as he spoke, he revealed a few 'big gold teeth' that were surprisingly bright yellow. There were a lot of unpleasant smells in his breath, and Liu Sheng came in with a handkerchief, otherwise, he would have to let this old boy smoke down.

Liu Sheng didn't go up to shake hands. He nodded to the older middle-aged man, which, in Liu Sheng's opinion, was more respectful than shaking hands. Because the partner gave him a detailed description before, saying that there was an older one, who was the head of these jade collectors, and everyone else looked at him as 'the horse's head'.

The 'big golden tooth' didn't understand Liu Sheng's etiquette, and his outstretched hand was not in a hurry to withdraw, only to see him smile, "Little boss, it looks like it's less than thirty, right?" ”

"Fifty-one Military Station", Liu Sheng has seen it since he was a child, and he understands the meaning of this 'little boss', so he made a gesture of the underworld in City A, "Thanks to my uncle, when I came out, I was less than thirty years old." ”

Due to the distance between the two places, the ways and methods of exploring the 'seabed' are also diverse, and the 'Xiao Wu' who came in with him immediately approached and said, "This big brother, our Liu is always the nephew of the local old man Hao, did you come to the north to make a living, and even Mr. Liu didn't know?" ”

"Big Golden Tooth" seemed to have drunk a little too much, "Old Man Hao, why haven't I heard of it, which of you has heard of it?" Who has heard? He pointed to the fellow housemate, and everyone shook their heads.

Manager Wu wanted to say something, but Liu Sheng stopped, "In front of all the big brothers, I'm still very young, I don't know if everyone has eaten well?" ”

"Eat well, eat quite well, but the dishes are a little salty," another businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang showed his head.

"Mr. Liu, several of them have drunk too much, don't worry about it," the person who worked with Liu Sheng, he was too familiar with the affairs of City A, in the Tao, Liu Sheng was simply a 'tycoon, emperor', he only blamed himself for not making it clear to his fellow countrymen in advance, but now it's too late to say anything, so he has to take one step, count it as a step.

"I don't think it's like it, don't the big guys continue to drink here, so let's change places and drink again, I recently hired a cook from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I've been asking for leave, today I specially asked Manager Wu to get him back, how about we go to eat hometown food?" Liu Sheng pressed the anger in his chest, he didn't understand, he was delicious, delicious, and entertained these Bs, why didn't there be a good word from their mouths.

These businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were already drunk, where would they let Liu Sheng's 'shouting' stop, they all got up and sorted out their clothes, and followed Liu Sheng to another room.

Liu Sheng in the 'Jihong Hotel' point, not only a few, can have more than a dozen, each room, has its unique layout, in order to put these Jiangsu and Zhejiang people to live, Liu Sheng specially invited them into the room with the Qianlong Emperor's 'Fu' word, this room is very simple, there is only a large round dining table in the center, some wooden chairs without backrests, so that he is yes, naturally the wall of the 'Fu' word, because there is not much decoration, so that ordinary people see, this is a more normal private room.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Liu Sheng proposed to go out for convenience, and then went out with Manager Wu.

When going downstairs, Manager Wu saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Liu, didn't we ask the master of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to pay in the back kitchen?" How do you say there is? ”

"Why not, I remember the last time I went to the back kitchen to see it, wasn't that the cut?"

"He's a second chef, and he doesn't usually stir-fry vegetables," Manager Wu told the truth.

Liu Sheng was happy, "These B's are all drunk like that, you said that they can eat good dishes, I think they can use him, after being a cook for so many years, hometown dishes will always be cooked, it means something." ”

"That's what you said, if the guests are not satisfied, it's not our hotel's responsibility."

"Yes. It's what I said, it's really not good, you go find a tape recorder, record it for me, what's wrong, I'll stand it. ”

There was no need for Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen to order, and within a while, a table of sumptuous Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes was served.

"Fragrant dried leeks", "Dongpo meat", "stir-fried lettuce". When the businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang saw that they were all hometown dishes, they were all interested and continued to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Sheng suddenly shouted, "Get Manager Wu for me!" The waiter standing at the door saw Liu Sheng lose his temper and ran down.

"What's wrong, Mr. Liu? Is there something wrong? The partner had never seen Liu Shengsheng so angry, and he asked puzzled.

"Everyone keep eating, it's none of your business. I have a relationship with the surname Wu. ”

Everyone saw that Liu Sheng was angry with his own people, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to eat by themselves.

After a while, Manager Wu walked in at a trot. It's ridiculous to see him sweating profusely.

"Mr. Liu, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Let me ask you, who fried this dish today?"

"Is it the cook in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? What's wrong? ”

"You'll know if you taste it. This, this, and this. Liu Sheng pointed to a few dishes near him with his chopsticks.

Manager Wu brought his own chopsticks, I saw him wipe the chopsticks with a napkin, and tried a few dishes that Liu Sheng pointed to, "Mr. Liu, no problem, what's wrong?" ”

"What's the matter, this dish is like this, how did I tell you before? Just this broken JB thing, if you want to do this, can you sell it, there are a few people in City A who are proud of this, you hurry back and settle his salary, let this Wang Ba thing leave, just say we don't need him here, the living ghost who can't be raised, for you to eat, for you to drink, to raise uncooked, and to bite me, just talk to him, you know? ”

Liu Sheng's long gun and short cannon scolded for a minute or two, and the merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the table understood that Liu Sheng was scolding the cooks, and he was obviously scolding them.

Liu Sheng's partner is equivalent to today's 'host', he saw that Liu Sheng didn't give face to the fellow countrymen, so he wanted to get up and lead everyone to say goodbye, "Mr. Liu, I think the big guys are almost drunk today, why don't we withdraw first?" ”

"I'm just angry, it has nothing to do with you, I mainly invite you to come to me, is to let everyone see my collection of local jade, you are all experts, you are all engaged in this, delay more of everyone's time, help me see how about?" Liu Sheng simply broke the jar and broke it, and directly had a showdown with the people who collected jade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As soon as they heard Liu Sheng talk about "local jade", the businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who wanted to leave had no intention of leaving, they wanted to see what kind of goods Liu Sheng could come up with.

"Jihong company" of the "local jade" carvings, are the old pay before, most of them are self-produced rough stone carving, Manager Wu with a few waiters, a statue of ornaments, put on the dining table, immediately showed a brilliant color, this local jade ornaments, plus exquisite Jiangsu and Zhejiang food, give people a sense of dazzling, these Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen do not drink and eat food, are watching these things back and forth.

"Mr. Liu, your stone is good, but the carver is a little worse, I don't know which carver made it?" The 'Big Golden Tooth' is the leader of these Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen, he has long known the purpose of Liu Sheng's coming to them, and he has also heard that the 'Jihong Company' once went to a small county to meddle in the local jade, but somehow, they retreated.

"This is carved by people in our company, and what I ask everyone to see is not the carving, but the essence of this local jade and the material."

"The jade is ruddy and belongs to the top grade."

"If you put it on the market and estimate it, how much can you give?"

"Three thousand, it's a lot of three thousand, if it was changed half a year ago, thirty thousand would have been paid, but now that the price has dropped, this local jade is not very valuable."

"Who wants three hundred?" Liu Sheng said 'three hundred yuan' violently, which surprised all the merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if the carving was a little worse, but it would not be less than so much money.

"Mr. Liu, you're not kidding us, are you, three hundred yuan, really fake?" 'Big Golden Tooth' said to Liu Sheng with a smile.

"Of course it's true, our company wants to return the funds and deal with a batch of jade, didn't you just come to the small county to collect jade, I think I just have it, you just take it."

"But these three hundred yuan is too low, how can this make us believe?" A businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang asked puzzled.

"Since I said it all, three hundred and one pieces, three hundred and one pieces, here is exactly twenty pieces, who wants it, give me six thousand yuan, you take it," Liu Sheng looked around, he just wanted to see if these businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had this 'guts'.

"I want it, it's exactly six thousand here, a lot of money," a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang was afraid that his peers would snatch this bargain, so he shot first.

"Okay, I'm in charge of selling and sending, I said brother, I'll send the goods to your fellow countryman first, you have something to do with him," Liu Sheng pointed to his partner.

"That's the best, anyway, we're living in his house now," the buyer was very satisfied with Liu Sheng's approach.

"Such a rough stone, our company still has, who is interested tomorrow, you can come to my company, where to buy it is not to buy, I am much cheaper than a small county, but there are not many goods, they are all some goods," Liu Sheng accepted the money from selling jade and sat back in his place.

Some businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang still wanted to ask something, but they all called the 'big golden tooth' to stop it, this is Liu Sheng's 'territory', they want to make the next move, they have to go back to the nest to discuss.

The next morning, when the businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang collectively sat in the van arranged by the villagers and came to the 'Jihong Company', Liu Sheng received them happily, and led everyone to his jade warehouse.

"Mr. Liu, are these all for sale?"

"Of course, it's all for sale, I just used those jade artifacts yesterday to throw bricks and attract jade, in order to sell you these rough stones."

"How much does it cost?"

"Less than 20% of the purchase price of your small county, and our company is responsible for consignment, you only need to pay a deposit, I am not afraid that you will lie to me, with your fellow countryman, he is your guarantor, after the goods are delivered, you will end the payment, how about it?" Liu Sheng's complexion today is very good, he speaks loudly, and there is no doubt.

"Okay, I'll ask for it first," a merchant from Jiangsu and Zhejiang stretched out five fingers.

"Okay, I'll give it to you now, our company has a packaging transportation team, secretary, you take this guest to the finance, pay the order, we will send the goods immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Liu."

"Anything else?"

"I want him so much," another person popped up.

"Okay, sign the contract and pay the money."

"I want it too."

"Okay, give it all, our warehouse is just one of them, there are others, as long as you put forward the number, we will help you adjust it overnight," Liu Sheng's generosity made the Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen present tremble, but since everyone came to 'purchase', they all signed a contract more or less in 'Jihong Company', handed over, and saw that the goods they wanted were transported away from the depot of 'A City Railway Station'.
