Director Xu began to unabashedly like Ning Qian, and took her with him on various occasions. Huangsha Warehouse, Shunde Tea Factory, Down Factory of Zhanjiang Branch, Qingyuan Branch, Zhuhai Branch...... Ning Qian followed the director to draw inventory, inspect the joint venture factory, and listen to the business report of the branch...... The director often asked Ning Qian if it was hard, and Ning Qian always quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, it's not hard at all!" ”

Everywhere I went, the local top management came out to receive them, and the food, drink and accommodation were good, and it had nothing to do with hard work. Of course, Ning Qian has a dead end: motion sickness - from childhood to adulthood, as long as she gets in the car, her facial features are distorted, her relatives are not recognized, and she vomits a lot, and over time, she is very tired of motion sickness.

When I was in college, the school organized students to go to the campus of the School of Foreign Languages from the campus of the College of Foreign Trade to the physical examination, Ning Qian jumped like a rabbit before getting on the car, and when she got off the bus, she was physically and mentally exhausted into mud, and got off the car crookedly, and saw the big tree on the side of the road, and the whole person immediately went up, cold sweat was raging, her eyes were closed, and her hands were holding the trunk tightly, as if the tree was her mother. What is the physical examination, don't let people carry it on a stretcher, even if you are self-improving.

A young man who has just come out of society, if he goes out with the leader, not only can he not see the wind and take care of the rudder, but he will vomit in the car to disgust the leader, and even let the leader take care of himself in turn, may I ask, does such a person still have a future? Ning Qian replied loudly to herself in the mirror: "No! ”

This is really a big hurdle on the way forward, and we must cross it no matter what! She quickly called home and asked her parents what to do. Dad said: "You fell on me when you got in the car since you were a child, and now that you are working, Dad can't follow you on a business trip to hug you, my daughter has really grown up." Mom said, "You're so motion sick just like me, I have a way!" So my mother taught me all kinds of anti-motion sickness skills: plasters on the navel, smearing wind oil essence in people, carrying oranges and smelling orange peels, and eating motion sickness tablets before getting into the car......

Eating a motion sickness film was the earliest trick used, and this time it was not with Director Xu, but with the head of the personnel section to Shantou and Shanwei. Knowing that Ning Qian was motion sickness, the kind-hearted Chen Ke of the Personnel Department took the initiative to take out the motion sickness film, and Ning Qian saw that it was two. I remember that my mother said that it would be okay to eat one, but since Chen Ke gave two and carried it with her, it means that she is very experienced, so Ning Qian ate it.

All the next trips, including eating, Ning Qian couldn't participate, because she only had one state, which was to sleep and sleep...... I can't even wake up when I scream. Chen Ke was really frightened, he didn't know why Ning Qian was so able to sleep, and almost wanted to pull her directly to the hospital. Fortunately, when the driver took them to the hotel after dinner, Ning Qian finally woke up.

Section Chief Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why are you so sensitive to this medicine, you sleep like this." Ning Qian rubbed her eyes and said, "Didn't you eat two?" Chen Ke realized that it might be when she poured it out, and the angle of the medicine nest in the palm of her hand made her think that there was only one, but in fact, the amount of medicine was doubled.

After this oolong, the motion sickness film is not edible, and it is also very annoying for people who do not get motion sickness to apply wind oil essence in the car, but fortunately, Director Xu himself also carries all kinds of oil smearing and smearing, and when he can't bear it, the wind oil essence will also be on. However, the most practical thing is indeed to put a plaster on the navel, so that people can stay awake and not have such a pungent smell. The experience accumulated in this continuous actual combat has given Ning Qian the primary ability to go out in the field.

One winter day after returning from Changsha, there was a middle-aged man wearing gold-wire glasses, a very well-fitting suit, and a good temperament sitting at the door of the general office. His handbag was at his feet, as if patiently waiting for someone.

Aunt Qing brought the poured tea and said very politely: "Mr. Fu, you sit for a while, and after Mr. Shi has a meeting, I will take you up." The Mr. Fu smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Okay, thank you, no hurry." ”

Since then, Mr. Fu has been sitting at the door waiting for Mr. Shi, which has become a classic picture that is constantly repeated. The people pouring tea kept changing from Aunt Qing to Aunt Qiong to Aunt Fen to Lao Wu to Xiao Li to Xiao Qiu, and what did not move in the picture was Mr. Fu wearing a suit and a handbag at his feet.

This Mr. Fu has been here so many times, what is he waiting for Mr. Shi to do? What exactly does Mr. Fu do? Ning Qian was very curious. No one mentioned it, and she didn't dare to ask more.

One day after Mr. Fu left, Ning Qian couldn't help it and asked Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing said the general situation: This Mr. Fu is a Singaporean, a foreign representative of Lipton Black Tea, and he came to Mr. Shi to discuss the formation of a joint venture company.

As soon as she heard about the establishment of a joint venture company, Ning Qian remembered that when she was still in college, Director Cao of the Audio-visual Education Center heard that she was assigned to the platinum boat, and mentioned that the platinum boat had missed the joint venture with the nest bird, so Ning Qian hurriedly asked Aunt Qing if there was such a thing.

When Aunt Qing heard this, she smiled. She whispered, "If you ask, I'll tell you secretly." "It turned out that when the Sparrow was about to enter the Chinese market, it once came to the door to see Platinum Boat and introduced itself as the world's largest food company. When the people of the platinum boat heard this, they laughed: This cow is also too big, and it is the largest in the world! What is the name of your company? - Nest sparrows. - Nest sparrow? Isn't it a bird's nest? A bird's nest, and it says that it is the largest in the world?? In the midst of laughter, he drove away the representative of the nest sparrow.

Later, it was learned that this nest bird was really one of the largest food companies in the world, and when their TV commercials were flying all over the sky, the management of the platinum boat was really dumbfounded. Of course, the central state-owned enterprises in the Joke Bird's Nest are not only platinum boats, because the central and state-owned enterprises that Chaoque is looking for in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have not paid attention to them, and the joint venture company of Chaoque was later built in Dongguan.

More than a year ago, another gentleman with a leather bag and a suit, and said that he was the world's largest food and daily chemical company, and came to talk about a joint venture. This gentleman is Mr. Fu in front of him.

Of course, although he didn't dare to say that he was a liar, he couldn't say that he wasn't a liar, so I asked him what exactly he wanted to sell. Mr. Fu said that it was Lipton black tea, the world's No. 1 tea brand.

This brand belongs to Youjia Group, the world's largest food and daily chemical company - even if there are so many people in the world like Mr. Shi, who have to go out once or twice a year, they can't stand these people, and they say that they are the first and largest in the world at every turn, and they have no edge to brag. But after all, he was a person who had missed the opportunity, so he said patiently: "Then take your things and sell them first, and see if they can be sold!" ”

More than half a year ago, Bozhou opened a Lipton black tea business department, and three or two people were importing and selling tea. But this tea is also magical, no leaves can not see, just a carton in the bag of tea, four or five star hotels see the eyes are lit up, said that they are used in foreign countries to use this tea, nothing to do, actually sold very well, but the import cycle is too long, the cost is too high, often out of stock.

Mr. Fu took the opportunity to propose a joint venture, and only with a joint venture can we build a factory in China and reduce costs. Mr. Fu and the Youjia Group behind him really had no choice: at that time, there were only the Central Tea Corporation of the Ministry of Economic and Trade in Beijing and the Platinum Boat Branch in Guangzhou, which had the qualification for the import and export of black tea. Ning Qian finally understood why Mr. Fu was about to sit down as a statue.

After learning about this situation, Ning Qian saw Mr. Fu again, with an inexplicable admiration and touch, and even a little sympathy - what is more depressing than having no choice but having to do things.

Although I really don't know how big and amazing the excellent family group behind this is, Mr. Fu looks at it and should also be a scholar of Qinggao, so he must feel uncomfortable when he lowers his body and waits all the time, right? Ning Qian then began to chat with Mr. Fu, who was accustomed to sitting quietly and waiting, suddenly someone talked to him, and he was quite happy, and after a long time, the two became very familiar with each other.

Every time Mr. Fu came, he also went directly to Ning Qian. Later, Mr. Shi should have inquired about the origins of Mr. Fu, Lipton Black Tea, and Youjia, and was sure that he had not been deceived, and the joint venture process suddenly accelerated.

At that time, no one in the whole group had any experience in running joint ventures with foreign companies, and Mr. Shi planned to let the vice president or the manager of the main department talk about the project, but everyone's energy was on the Canton Fair and overseas inspections, and no one was interested in dealing with this lonely Singaporean who saw calloused eyes and a leather bag.

Mr. Shi's helplessness was seen by Mr. Fu, and Mr. Fu said: "Why don't you let Xiao Ning be responsible for docking with us on the Chinese side?" ”

When Mr. Shi heard this, he felt that this was very informal, although Xiao Ning was a person who did things, he was too immature, right? It has only been a few months since I entered the society and the enterprise, and this is also a joint venture project.

Mr. Shi asked Director Xu's opinion, but the director felt that it was very appropriate. The director said: "Anyway, no one knows how to do this joint venture, and it is the same with experience or not." Besides, if the foreign side does not dislike the lack of level of the people we send, what do we have to care about. ”

As a result, the task of docking with foreign parties to promote joint venture projects fell on Ning Qian's shoulders.

The so-called ignorant people are fearless, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, which is Ning Qian, right? Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and within three months, the signing ceremony of the joint venture was held in the White Swan Hotel.

Although Ning Qian's role that day was only a decoration similar to that of Miss Manners, the row of little girls were carefully selected by the group, and they were also personally trained by Chairman Dai of the trade union on how to walk and smile. The dress was also tailored by Director Chen personally leading the team. What's more, Ning Qian was also appointed as the signing of the Shi General Delivery Contract, the pen, the contract, and the pen, which is the most important position in this group of decorations.

On the day of the signing, Ning Qian met with the chairman of the China region under the construction of Youjia – a tall and righteous British. Mr. Fu was by the chairman's side that day, and his waist was almost straight, as if the housekeeper in the movie saw the master. -Ning Qian sighed from the bottom of her heart: Mr. Fu is really a super polite and patient Sven person!

The start of the work is still good, and when Ning Qian called her parents to report, her eyebrows fluttered. Mom and Dad always say, "Work first, work with peace of mind, don't worry about us." But this time, Dad suddenly said on the phone: "I was going to wait for you to come back and say it in person, but it seems that you are unlikely to have time to go home recently, so I will convey my opinions and your mother's opinions for your reference." "What's your opinion, Dad?" "Isn't it time for you to think about personal issues?"

Ning Qian realized that this was not the first time that her parents had mentioned it, she said into the phone: "Dad, I was at school yesterday, and you and my mother told students not to fall in love, and as soon as you graduate today, you will say that you should consider personal problems, do you want to bend so quickly?" ”

In fact, Ning Qian already had a person in her heart.

(Writer's Note:

Seeing this, some readers may think: Why don't the people of Platinum Boat go online to check whether the people who come to talk about joint ventures are liars?

This was 1993, and at that time, there were no Internet search engines. ）
