thirty-one

It was not easy to meet Bai Zhilin, chairman of the private Asia-Pacific Group Company.

Entering the foyer of the small building of the Asia-Pacific Company, Wang Darui handed the business card printed with "National Title Reporter" to the Miss of the Public Relations Department in the foyer, and the Miss only glanced at the business card, and then smiled but asked coldly: "Does Mr. Wang have something to do with our chairman?" ”

Wang Darui said: "I am Wang Darui of Pingchuan Daily, and I want to talk about something very important with you. ”

The public relations lady still smiled and asked coldly, "Have you made an appointment with our chairman?" ”

Wang Darui was really a little angry, and reiterated again: "I am Wang Darui of "Pingchuan Daily", a well-known industrial reporter, whose articles are often on the first page, and have national titles, you haven't heard of Miss yet?" ”

The public relations lady took a serious look at the business card in her hand, and after reading it, she still shook her head, and asked with a smile: "What is a national title reporter?" Aren't all of our professional title series regulated by the state? ”

Wang Darui's eyes looked around in the small building, and he said disdainfully: "I won't tell you, you don't understand." ”

The public relations lady said lightly: "I have been a lecturer in the Institute of Engineering, and I also have the national title you mentioned." ”

This made Wang Darui extremely embarrassed, he didn't expect that the public relations department of the Asia-Pacific department would have the title of lecturer. In the past, Wang Darui only heard that Bai Zhilin was a doctoral student and associate professor, but he did not know that most of the employees of the Asia-Pacific company were young intellectuals with high education and professional titles.

Wang Darui's tone suddenly became modest, and he said in a consultative tone: "Why, Miss, you give my business card to Mr. Bai, ask him to make an appointment, and I will interview him." ”

The public relations lady then said, "Sir, please wait a minute, I'll ask the chairman to see if he can find some time to talk to you now." ”

After a while, the young lady came back and said, "Sir, please wait, our chairman is discussing something with the female boss of Taiwan's Fahrenheit Group, and it will be fine soon." ”

Sure enough, it was right away.

After a while, Bai Zhilin, chairman of Asia-Pacific, came down from upstairs, shook Wang Darui's hand very warmly and said: "Welcome, welcome, it is our honor for a famous reporter to come to our private company for an interview." Then, in turn, he introduced to the public relations lady, "Reporter Wang is not an ordinary young reporter, he is a very famous industrial reporter, his articles are often published, and he is a big celebrity in Pingchuan." ”

Wang Darui was given a cold reception by the public relations lady, and now he is really a little flattered, and he also praised Bai Zhilin: "You Mr. Bai is a big celebrity, not only famous in Pingchuan, but also famous in the province, even the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor know you." ”

Bai Zhilin held Wang Darui's hand and laughed: "So, reporter Wang Da still knows a little about me and our company's situation?" ”

Wang Darui said with great confidence: "But do you know something? It's very well understood. I participated in earlier discussions about private companies, and at a symposium at the newspaper, I made a long speech in full support for you and your company. As I said, the real hope of China's industry actually lies in you young people who dare to think and dare to do things. I wanted to write an article for you at the time, but I was too busy with work and put it off until now. Now, our newspaper wants to compile a book to cheer for the enterprises in our city, and I am the first to think of you in the Asia-Pacific region. I would like to raise a very profound and practical question: why can your private enterprises still develop rapidly when the economy of the whole country and the whole city is generally declining? ”

Bai Zhilin said: "Okay, okay, this question is very good, I can let our Miss Ma have a good talk with you." ”

Wang Darui was obviously a little disappointed, and asked with a look of confusion: "Who is this Miss Ma?" ”

Bai Zhilin said: "Miss Ma is not an ordinary person, she is the manager of our company's public relations department, and she has always released news on behalf of me and our company. Last year in the province, I also presided over our company's new product launch conference. ”

After that, Bai Zhilin called Miss Ma of the Public Relations Department very calmly and generously in front of Wang Darui, and whispered: "Quickly find all the "Pingchuan Daily" in the past few days, and see if there are any bullshit articles from this reporter Wang?" In addition, when reporter Wang asks for sponsorship, no matter how big or small, you will agree first. I knew at a glance that he was here to sponsor. ”

Miss Ma asked Bai Zhilin puzzled: "For no reason, do we really sponsor him?" ”

Bai Zhilin said: "You don't understand, I want him to blow about me and our company, so that Miss Hua Nana can make up her mind to cooperate with us." I can't say what that means, it's up to you to reveal it to him. You can make it clear to him, as long as you blow it well, everything is easy to discuss. After negotiating the conditions, I brought him up to meet Miss Hua and me. I would like to stress again that he must blow his sentence in front of Miss Hua: 'The real hope of China's industry lies in our young people in the Asia-Pacific region'. ”

Miss Ma smiled: "Mr. Bai, you are really embarrassed." ”

Bai Zhilin smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't help it, Miss Hua is too difficult to deal with." ”

After explaining, Bai Zhilin asked Wang Darui and Miss Ma to have a cordial conversation in the office of the public relations department, and he hurried upstairs, saying that he could not snub the Taiwanese guests.

Walking into the office and seeing Hua Nana again, Bai Zhilin once again wrote a man's confidence on his face. Sitting on the swivel chair with a high leather backrest, looking at Hua Nana and Hua Nana's female secretary Miss Wu, Bai Zhilin said: "Miss Hua, I think, we can start again." ”

Hua Nana smiled and said, "Forget it, Mr. Bai, you still go to receive the reporter of "Pingchuan Daily", let's talk about it here today." ”

Miss Wu also said: "Mr. Bai, it's not good for you to snub a famous reporter, in Taiwan, such a famous reporter, you can't even invite you to send a big red envelope." ”

Bai Zhilin waved his hand and said, "What kind of big reporter, little reporter?" I'm annoyed with these reporters, and it's all news that our company does for three days, and it doesn't give you a moment of peace at all. I dare to say that as soon as the news of our cooperation in building the International Building spreads, news will be published on the front page of the "Pyeongcheon Daily" tomorrow, and a large number of reporters will be flocked to the radio and television stations to cover the building. ”

Hua Nana smiled and asked, "Mr. Bai is not putting on a show, is he?" ”

Bai Zhilin said: "What kind of show? Don't underestimate us in the Asia-Pacific region. Although we cannot be compared with the Fahrenheit Group, we are the largest private company in Pingchuan after all, and we are a banner of the private economy in Pingchuan and even the whole province. The municipal party committee and the municipal government have always adopted supportive policies for us, and the news and public opinion are also very concerned about our trends. Therefore, you will not suffer if you are determined to cooperate with us. ”

Hua Nana said: "Give you five percent of the shares, and you still say that I am not sincere, how can we continue to talk?" ”

Bai Zhilin said: "I'm not asking you to do shares. I made it very clear in my letter of intent that during the three years of the construction of the International Building, APAC pledged to invest 30 million in accordance with the plan and method agreed by both parties. 30 million has to be 10 to 15 percent. ”

Hua Nana shook her head and said, "Where did you get 30 million?" I can remind you, Mr. Bai, real estate is also very risky. In case the real estate in the mainland is hovering at the bottom for three or five years, and your off-plan property cannot be sold, how can you fulfill the promise in your agreement with us Fahrenheit? ”

Bai Zhilin said: "I can borrow money from the bank." ”

Hua Nana waved her hand and said, "Forget it, Mr. Bai!" I've found out that the mainland bank has a very tight control over loans to private enterprises like you, and even tighter control over your investment in fixed assets, right? Therefore, I advise you to think again, or act according to your ability. ”

Bai Zhilin said: "Let me reiterate: our Asia-Pacific company is not a private company in the general sense, it is a banner of a private company, whether it is a bank or a bank, it is to support us. ”

At this time, Miss Ma of the Public Relations Department came with Wang Darui.

Bai Zhilin made an unhappy look and said to Miss Ma: "Manager Ma, I asked you to talk to Reporter Wang, why did you bring Reporter Wang to me again?" ”

Miss Ma said: "Reporter Wang has a few very important questions that I have to ask you face-to-face. ”

Bai Zhilin sighed, and seemed to be helpless to say to Wang Darui: "Okay, okay, ask, ask, give you ten minutes, okay?" ”

Wang Darui nodded again and again and said, "Okay, ten minutes is ten minutes." ”

Hua Nana and Miss Wu looked at each other for a moment, and got up to say goodbye.

Bai Zhilin was stunned, stepped forward to stop Hua Nana, and said, "You just sit here for a while, I'll talk to Reporter Wang, it'll be ten minutes, and it will be over immediately." ”

Hua Nana said, "Let's talk a little longer! I've said what I need to say, and it's time to go. ”

This made Bai Zhilin very anxious, and almost wanted to pull Hua Nana to sit down on the sofa, but he finally didn't dare, this was in the office of the Asia-Pacific region, not in the private room of Hua Nana in Pingchuan Hotel.

Bai Zhilin had no choice but to watch Hua Nana and Miss Wu go out.

Hua Nana walked to the door, turned around again, and said to Bai Zhilin: "Business is not lovely, Mr. Bai, don't forget to eat seafood at the ** hotel at night." ”

Bai Zhilin didn't think about it and said, "No, I don't have time." ”

Hua Nana was not angry, and smiled charmingly and said, "Then change it to tomorrow night." ”

After Hua Nana left, Wang Darui immediately spread out the notebook and opened his mouth impatiently: "Mr. Bai, you are a star entrepreneur in the business circles of our city and even our province, and my colleagues in the press have always believed that you have placed the hope of China's industry, and I want to ask ......."

Bai Zhilin patted Wang Darui's thin shoulder, and said with a depressed face: "Reporter Wang, don't ask anything, let's just talk about it." ”

Wang Darui looked at Miss Ma beside him, and said with some puzzlement: "It was Miss Ma who said, let me blow your President Bai well, first blow it in person, and then blow it in the newspaper." He also decided to sponsor our newspaper with 10,000 yuan. ”

Bai Zhilin smiled bitterly and said: "The Taiwanese bosses are gone, what are you bragging?!" I want you to blow it in front of your face, in front of other Taiwanese bosses, not in front of me. ”

Wang Darui's face turned white, and he asked, "That's ...... Then the sponsorship you promised, or not? ”

Bai Zhilin said: "You didn't blow it up for us, how can we sponsor it?" ”

Wang Darui said: "It's not to blame me, the female boss in Taiwan wants to leave by herself, and you can't stay, what can I do?" So, I don't think you have to worry about the little details. I still have to write the article, and I still want to send it to you in the third edition of the 'Entrepreneur Style' column, and then publish the book......"

Bai Zhilin said: "Forget it, forget it, I am neither a first-class official nor a leader of a state-owned enterprise, I don't want to climb up, and I am not interested in promoting myself at all." I am only interested in the cooperation project with Taiwan Fahrenheit, but our Pingchuan is too poor, the concept is too backward, and the private enterprises have not formed a climate at all, and this slippery female boss does not believe in me, nor does he believe in our Asia-Pacific company! ”

Wang Darui instigated: "Then it should be better publicized." As long as my article is sent out, you can watch it, and the female boss in Taiwan will definitely take the initiative to come to you. ”

Miss Ma of the Public Relations Department followed up and said: "Mr. Bai, I think Reporter Wang's opinion can be considered. If not, sponsor 5,000 and let them post a short advertising article. Reporter Wang is not easy. ”

Wang Darui immediately said: "Five thousand is fine, it is okay." ”

Bai Zhilin was angry, ignored Wang Darui, and said to Miss Ma with a stiff face: "Manager Ma, what nonsense are you talking about?" Is there so much money in our company that there is no place to spend it? Their newspaper is a state institution, and they have a big pot of food from the state, but what about us? You have to earn your own food, and you can't spend every penny. ”

Miss Ma still insisted: "I mainly think that it is too difficult for reporter Wang. ”

Bai Zhilin was even more popular: "The newspaper is not Reporter Wang's, what is difficult for him?" ”

Miss Ma said: "Mr. Bai, just now when I was chatting with Reporter Wang downstairs, I learned that Reporter Wang's wife is gone, and her daughter has leukemia, and tens of thousands of yuan have been spent on treatment, and everything in the family has been sold. Reporter Wang solicited sponsorship everywhere, not only for the newspaper, but also to earn more money for his daughter's medical treatment. ”

Bai Zhilin was stunned for a moment, looking at the gray-haired Wang Darui, who didn't say anything for a long time.

Wang Darui was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, my personal affairs have nothing to do with the newspaper." ”

Bai Zhilin asked: "If I give your newspaper 10,000 yuan as a sponsorship, how much can you get as a reporter?" ”

Wang Darui's heart floated with the light of hope again: "According to the regulations, the personal commission for sponsorship and advertising is 5 percent, but in consideration of my special situation, the leader of the newspaper has specially studied it, and can mention to me 10 percent, if 10,000 yuan, I can get 1,000." ”

Bai Zhilin decided on the spot: "Well, I don't sponsor your newspaper, but for you personally, my Asia-Pacific company sponsors 1,000 yuan, and it is a free sponsorship, I don't want you reporter Wang to write us a word." ”

Wang Darui waved his hand again and again: "This is not good, this is not good." "Let's go.

Bai Zhilin grabbed Wang Darui and said, "What's wrong?" Don't think that our private companies are profiteers who forget their righteousness. Then he said to Miss Ma, "Quickly call Manager Du of the Finance Department to come and write a cash check to Reporter Wang." ”

Wang Darui was really ashamed, broke free from Bai Zhilin's pull, hurriedly left, and when he came down the stairs, he said with red eyes: "Mr. Bai, I, Wang Darui, sincerely thank you, but I can't take your money!" ”

Bai Zhilin chased out the door and said, "Reporter Wang, you stop, I will always ask you to publicize it in the future." ”

Wang Darui had already arrived downstairs at this time, and finally said with an old tearful face: "Mr. Bai, I ...... On behalf of my daughter, I would like to thank you and APAC for your kindness. ”
