Chapter 31: Wisdom and Foolishness

In fact, it is very easy to live alone, but it is difficult to live for others, and those who have given up their dreams and are obsessed with money, who is it for? Although Tianhai is not in the north, the winter here can also make people shiver, and there is almost no snow, but the cold wind on the road still can't get into every crevice of the clothes. On the road, there was a person wearing a gray windbreaker, a knitted scarf, his neck was shrunk in the collar, stepping on a piece of yellowed tung leaves, making a creaking sound, passing by the square step by step, walking across the high bridge, and going farther and farther.

Morning Star has been back in Tianhai for a while, and Ma Tiexiong did not trouble Morning Star because of his son's matter, probably because he did not find out Morning Star's identity. Kang Huaqiang, the director of the East China marketing department, is loyal, honest and diligent, and Morningstar is busy starting the Mars plan, so he handed over the business development work in the East China market to Kang Huaqiang, and he also took thousands of miles to maintain the old customers of Tianhai. After returning from Shenzhen, Morningstar did not inform his head office that the black box plan will be discontinued next year, and the decision to mainly promote unmanned vending machines in the community will be promoted, first, for fear of causing great turmoil in the market, and secondly, Morningstar has its own plan, and Morningstar will definitely not give up this project.

However, the world is impermanent, it is expected that there will be competitors with the same products early next year, and before the New Year, a company in Tianhai began to seize the black box market, the price is only half of the miracle company, Morningstar's old customers complain constantly, but there is a contract in front, they are not too much, Morningstar combed all the customers to prepare for a door-to-door visit. The biggest challenge in convincing customers is trust, in the past, customers' trust in Morningstar was based on the support of a strong company behind it, and now when the company decides to give up this market, how can Morningstar make customers still trust themselves? Morningstar had a rehearsal in his heart, put on a gray trench coat, and asked Kodak's boss Zha Lei to meet in a high-end tea room.

"Brother Chen, in the year we met, our company has placed a total of nearly 50 million orders with you, our company's products have the addition of advanced functions of the black box in the market is very popular, even with the later competitors also use the black box, because I took the lead, the business is still easy to do. You once promised me that the product and the new iteration will be given priority to Kodak, but so far I don't know if your product is still the same, recently there is a company called "Recreate Miracle" on the market to launch the same product, the price is only half of yours, and now the peers are already using it, and the advantages of our company's products are gone, compared to my cost is higher. I don't complain about anything, but there are still hundreds of people in my company who need me to pay their salaries, and they are in business, brother! I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to continue to cooperate next year" In a quiet compartment in the northeast corner of a tea room, Zha Lei took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on a soft cushion, with his back against the barrier, with a look of pity on his face.

"Brother Lei, what is there to say between our brothers, even if others have some complaints, they are twisted and pinched and don't tell the truth, Brother Lei is very straightforward to my brother, and I have also recommended a few big customers this year, Brother Lei is kind to me, I am very grateful, and my brother will first toast you with tea instead of wine." Morningstar sat upright, raised his teacup and took a drink. Chenxing parked the car far away from the tea room, and he came all the way, and asked himself many times, Zha Lei, this brother, he really couldn't go to the next pit.

"Come, you have also helped me a lot, I'm not afraid to tell you, brother, the company's total sales this year are 50% more than last year, I don't lose money when I know your brother, this tea is too boring, let's go and drink two cups later." Zha Lei thought of where to say, leaned forward and patted Morning Star's left shoulder, and then took a sip of the tea in the teacup.

"Brother Lei, you will recognize your brother's alcohol consumption everywhere if you drink a little wine, forget it today, brother, I'll talk to you about something serious, and we will continue to cooperate next year." Morning Star looked at Cha Lei with a slightly mysterious smile.

"How do you cooperate?" Zha Lei leaned lazily on the barrier again, and didn't care much about Morningstar's proposal to cooperate again, he had investigated the Miracle Group, and was very familiar with Miracle's business, and there was no possibility of cooperation in the current market environment.

"If next year, the price of the miracle black box does not drop or the price is higher than that of other companies if the product is not optimized, I will never force Brother Lei to order a black box from me. The domestic Internet of Vehicles technology is very simple, the function is to measure the distance between the car, the ambient temperature, to provide some simple services, now is the information age, but also the era of information reciprocity, the success of many Internet companies lies in the creation of convenient and human services, our company and the black box supporting the information service of the great wisdom platform, if further development and evolution into a more convenient Internet information service products for car owners, it is not at all on the market now these black box suppliers can be compared. The more Chenxing spoke, the brighter his eyes became, regardless of whether Zha Lei understood it or not, Chenxing's excited right hand trembled a little after he finished speaking.

"You mean, we carry out cooperation in information services? Is this a trick? We are also using the miracle's great wisdom platform, and now there are so many navigation maps, I feel that this platform is a chicken rib, and the most important thing is that I have not heard that Miracle has plans to continue to develop this business. Zha Lei touched his face, but he didn't expect that the brother he recognized was so excited that he could fly over from such a distance.

"The competitiveness of the product is a small step faster than the same industry, Brother Lei, please believe in my vision, and believe in your judgment, don't lie to you, I have now established a company by myself, miracles do not do business, I will do it! When the company develops a new information service system, I will give you a free trial. In front of Zha Lei, Morning Star showed his ambition and confidence a little, but Morning Star knew that things could not succeed so easily, and money and time were indispensable.

After Morningstar sent Zha Lei to the car, he returned to the place where he parked along the long road, and Morningstar didn't think that he could convince Zha Lei with a few words of his own, but at least not refusing was a good start, after all, Morningstar had brought a light to Kodak. In the next few days, Morningstar visited other big customers of Tianhai one after another, some of them treated him coldly, and some of them ended their worship hastily because of the embarrassment of face. Customers used to buy Morningstar's account because Morningstar had the support of a large group behind it, but now Morningstar has to work alone, just some people who have business relationships who will buy Morningstar's account, but Morningstar is not discouraged, it is their responsibility to be responsible for customers, Morningstar believes in treating people with sincerity, and others will take me with sincerity. Later it turned out that Morning Star was a naïve and lovely person, where did there be so many honest people in the business field, everyone blew each other in business when you were good, and the one who didn't step on you a few feet when you were in trouble was definitely a saint.

During the time he returned to Tianhai, Lu Yiqing went to Jiangnan to participate in a variety show, and now the high-traffic Internet celebrities are no worse than celebrities, Li Chenger has been helping Lu Yiqing do some studio publicity in his spare time. Morningstar didn't mention it to Lu Yiqing at the beginning, but when the time came, Lu Yiqing was busy with the live broadcast and didn't seem to care about it, so Morningstar didn't mention it. Without Lu Yiqing's consent, Morningstar didn't dare to let Wanli move in, but Morningstar didn't want to stay in a big room alone at night, so he moved to Jiabei to find Wanli to squeeze out a rental house. Those lonely days of wandering thousands of miles ago made him cherish his current life very much, he has grown to one meter seven for more than a year, in addition to his face is still immature, he has been very experienced in his work during this period with Morning Star, and he is either actively holding a car salon during the day, or going to the company to learn some financial and computer operations with his assistant Ouyang Jing, and going to night school on time at night, and living a very fulfilling life. In front of Morning Star, Wan Li took off all his strong coats, first complained to Morning Star that those customers were difficult to handle, and then pulled Morning Star to say that which teacher in the night school had a habit of cleanliness, and he could use up a pack of wet wipes in the last class, and finally he would always come back to himself and find something delicious, and he had to make it for Morning Star to eat, who would have thought that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child would burn a good meal. Morning Star enjoyed this leisurely time, and brought hope to Wanli, but Wanli didn't bring himself the rare warmth of this foreign land, I really hope that this child can be so happy forever, Morning Star commented on the braised crucian carp made by Wanli, and thought that it was time to have a showdown with the boss.
