22. Xia Hongyuan

"Rest assured, the cost of this raw material itself is not high, and their profit is at least 30% or more. But one more day of delay, and the daily interest on the loan will reduce their profits by one percent. The best thing to do is to sell it to you at a low price, otherwise there is no second place in China that can eat such a large amount. Huo Bufan said.

The confidence and composure when he spoke made Ji Xiangning's uneasiness quickly alleviate.

After thinking carefully for a while, she picked up her mobile phone and called the general manager of Donglai Trading.

All the words were according to what Huo Bufan said: "I'm really sorry, and now I'm also powerless." It's all the same price, you say I'm a sideline, how can I compete with their direct line? I'm sorry, but I'll have a chance to work together again in the future. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiangning's cheeks were slightly red.

Her heart is beating fast now, and it is the first time since she started business that she feels like a liar.

There was a little bit of guilt, and there was a little bit of unspeakable excitement.

"Get out of the car, you're not going to wait in the car all the time, are you?" Huo Bufan reminded.

Ji Xiangning reacted at this time and hurriedly got out of the car.

"Don't get so excited, you're like you've had too much to drink." Huo Bufan said with a smile.

Ji Xiang glanced at him, then took a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement, and then took Huo Bufan into the hotel with him.

As soon as she entered the hotel door, Ji Xiangning asked the waiter about the location of the box of the Ji family's branch, and Huo Bufan was patted on the shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw Xia Hongyuan looking at him with a smile: "I thought I recognized the wrong person, the two of us are really fateful." ”

"It's really fateful, what's the matter, you won't be here for coffee, will you?" Huo Bufan asked with a smile.

He actually knew the identity of the man in front of him, a famous fruit king, and his business spread to several surrounding provinces. It can be said that it is very rare not to go public, not to make money, and only rely on personal assets to get to this point.

When Huo Bufan was independent, he also specially exchanged business experiences with Xia Hongyuan, and the two talked happily and were very impressed by each other.

When he drank coffee before, Huo Bufan recognized Xia Hongyuan, but for some considerations, he did not directly identify the other party.

And now, he is also pretending to be confused, because Huo Bufan knows very well that it is no coincidence that Xia Hongyuan appeared here, he should be the President Xia that Ji Changming said.

It was precisely because he knew Xia Hongyuan very well that Huo Bufan dared to boast in front of Ji Xiangning that he had the opportunity to change the ending.

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce is not only the Ji family.

In the face of Huo Bufan's ridicule, Xia Hongyuan felt happy for no reason, there were very few people around him who could talk to him so naturally, and occasionally there were equals, but they always couldn't talk about each other because of their personalities, preferences and other reasons.

"Forget about drinking coffee, today is invited, what about you? You won't come here to make coffee for people, will you? Xia Hongyuan joked.

"I also accompanied the general manager to socialize, and over there is Ji Xiangning, the general manager of our company." Huo Bufan gestured.

"It turns out that she is the general manager of your branch, Ji, and she is indeed very young." Xia Hong walked from afar.

Huo Bufan heard that there was something else hidden in these words, maybe someone like Ji Changming had said in front of him that a woman who was too young was not capable of being in charge of a branch at all.

"Don't look at Mr. Ji's youth, but his ability is very extraordinary, no, he did something amazing just now." Huo Bufan said.

"Oh? What's up? Xia Hongyuan asked curiously.

Huo Bufan told all the things about the confrontation with Donglai, of course, he completely covered up his credit, and all the ideas were thought of by Ji Xiangning.

Xia Hongyuan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Ji Xiangning in surprise, and said, "This Ji always has such a city and means?" I really can't see it. ”

"It's not an internal strife." Huo Bufan sighed and said, "Since you have cooperated with our company, you must also know about the direct and collateral infighting of the Ji family, right?" Mr. Ji's ability is actually quite good, otherwise, can she sit in the position of general manager at a young age? The reason why he is not famous is only because a lot of credit has been snatched away by the direct family. You also know that this kind of thing is very common in big families, and we are used to it. It's a pity, it's just that those big people who have deep cooperation with the Ji family are suffering. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Hongyuan asked.

"Actually, I won't tell you the truth, now there are more talents in the Ji family's side than in the direct line. Think about it, how many people are in the direct line? How many people are involved? Even if the proportion of talents is low, the base is large! Now basically all the peripherals of the entire Ji family are really capable side lines doing things, and the direct line only holds the core power. It may not be reflected now, but in a few years, if a side child who can penetrate into the core power comes out, how sad will the life of the direct family be at that time? Those big bosses who used to only pay attention to the direct line and not pay attention to the side line will not be worn small shoes when the time comes? ”

Xia Hongyuan's face changed slightly, he narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice involuntarily sank, and said, "It's the Ji family, and the internal strife shouldn't implicate outsiders." ”

"What I said, now the direct line is in order to suppress the side line, do you think the implication is not implicated in outsiders? Sometimes the business that can be done is directly launched in order to suppress it. Oh, you may not have a deep cooperation with the Ji family, and you don't know much about this. Huo Bufan sighed and sighed: "Although I am just a driver, I have been with Mr. Ji for a long time, and I know more about the inside story." ”

The more Xia Hongyuan listened, the heavier his heart sank.

As Ji Changming said, the Chamber of Commerce has indeed designated the direct children of the Ji family as representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and everyone understands the careful thinking in their hearts.

At the beginning, Xia Hongyuan also thought so, since the side line is not directly related, then it is appropriate to make friends with the direct children of the Ji family.

But now, he doesn't think so.

Because what Huo Bufan said was not false, he only exaggerated a little bit of the power held by the side, and elaborated on some possibility in the future in advance.

Most of it is true, and a few of it is false, but it is enough to be believed.

In addition, when he made coffee before, Huo Bufan raised his depth in advance, and Xia Hongyuan, who had a very good impression of him, would inevitably have preconceived ideas.

Especially about the infighting, in order to suppress each other, Xia Hongyuan himself has encountered or heard of it.

With his own experience and personal hearings, he believed what Huo Bufan said.

If the side line of the Ji family can really turn over and become the master in the future, will these businessmen who have helped the direct family suppress them be implicated?

You know, that's the Ji family with assets of tens of billions!

Xia Hongyuan was so optimistic about Huo Bufan that he didn't dare to dig the foot of the wall in the Ji family branch, and he was naturally very jealous in his heart.

Some things, once a seed is planted in the heart, want to sprout very quickly.

From the micro-expressions on Xia Hongyuan's face, Huo Bufan knew that his goal had been achieved.

He didn't say more, and if he said too much, it seemed contrived.

At this time, Ji Xiangning asked where the box was and walked over, and when she saw Huo Bufan chatting with someone, she said casually: "Your friend?" ”

Huo Bufan said: "I just want to introduce you, this is Miss Ji Xiangning, the general manager of our Ji family branch." And this one, one of the company's partners, has the surname ......"

Huo Bufan's words paused, and Xia Hongyuan immediately said, "Hello, I'm Xia Hongyuan." ”

Ji Xiangning was about to reach out and shake him, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but pause.

She looked at Xia Hongyuan in amazement, and then subconsciously looked at Huo Bufan.

This name, it's not the first time she's heard it, Ji Changming has said it several times in front of her.

The famous fruit king, the vice president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce, and also the evaluator of whether the Jijia branch can enter the Chamber of Commerce.

Ji Changming said today that he wanted to invite Xia Hongyuan to dinner here, and Ji Xiangning naturally wouldn't think that such a coincidence had a big name.

It's just that how could Li Shuheng, a nerd, know Xia Hongyuan?

"I have long heard that Mr. Ji has excellent skills, and it is said that not long ago, he just turned against the customer and put it together for business and trade? It's really unseemly. Xia Hongyuan said while shaking hands with Ji Xiangning.
