Chapter 31 Agreements
Dazhi's resignation does not seem to cause any waves in the project or even in the company.
He quickly completed the resignation procedures, and it was surprisingly smooth.
The whole process from his entry to his departure ended quietly, and even in the end, he left no trace in the company, as if this person had never been here.
The workplace in the metropolis is so ruthless.
Dazhi's resignation made me re-acquaint myself with the warmth and warmth of the people in Beijing, and I also deeply realized how insignificant a recent graduate is in the company.
When people go to tea and cool, how many real confidants will there be in the workplace?
I predicted my future career situation in a few years, and maybe in a few years, even if we have become the backbone of the company's business, no matter how much we contribute to the company, we will probably have such a bleak result after leaving.
Not discussing the merits and demerits of the departing person may be a basic rule of survival in the workplace, right?
......
Before Dazhi left, I made an appointment with him to go to the tavern that he often went to on the edge of the construction site, and we said yes, and I saw him off.
It's already cold in Beijing, with its first snow since the beginning of winter.
The whole city is covered in snow.
Walking on the road, the snow grains were swept up by gusts of wind, blown head-on on the face, and slid into the collar: like the sand raised by a naughty child, the snow droplets were thrown into the neck, and then melted, and the cold was to the bone.
We walked into the tavern and sat down at a small table by the window.
The haze of the snowy day makes our mood become melancholy and negative.
Don't quit drinking, this will be difficult to do.
Although it is a practice of wine, the two of us are very sad to think that they will be separated by thousands of miles in the future, and even the opportunity to meet in the future will be numbered.
said that he was a resignation for wine, but he didn't have the slightest desire to drink, and the two of us weren't even in the mood to persuade each other to drink.
"No wonder I haven't drunk lately, but I got wet with a towel a few times because I was drunk."
We all know very well that for the sake of our own development, the separation at this time is also a last resort.
Under the sorrow, maybe the more you drink, the more melancholy your emotions will be, and the drinking itself, this situation, will only add to the sorrow.
The snow outside the window is getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes are gradually turning into goose feathers from the snow particles at the beginning, fluttering and flying all over the sky.
I looked out the window at the snow, stunned.
"Great power, after I leave, what are your next steps?"
Dazhi broke the silence.
"Alas, what can I plan, I can only live one day at a time." , I didn't look back, and replied weakly to him, I haven't been in a good mood lately.
I haven't completely gotten rid of the shadow of the Ding Ling incident, and it seems that it will take a long time for the negative emotions brought about by feelings to completely subside.
"Big country, have you ever thought that if you go to work all the time like us, and you are doomed to achieve nothing in the end?"
He asked me.
Dazhi's question is very realistic.
What he wanted to express was exactly what I swore to do after I broke off the conversation with Ding Ling.
However, in the world, if success is so easy and casual, where can there be so many regrets?
How could I not have known the importance of success, and why had I not been in a hurry to make a difference? However, in the current situation, what can I do to succeed quickly?
However, I have been wondering lately whether there is any other way to go other than going to work.
Any idea, no matter how unrealistic it may seem, will be repeated several times if there is a chance of success.
In this case, after all, the hard work paid off, I did have a more reliable initial idea of starting a business, and after a long time of brewing, I am still thinking about the details repeatedly, and I have not mentioned it to Dazhi.
Now, Dazhi is about to leave, and it happens that he asks me about my future plans, whether the idea is feasible or not, I think it's time to take it out and discuss it with him.
"I've thought about it, especially recently, and I've been thinking back to the time from my hometown to university, and I do have some thoughts." The idea of being unwilling to work in a mediocre job inspired me. No matter how outrageous, the entrepreneurial plan is an opportunity for us.
"It's just a little regrettable that my idea is a long-term plan, and it can't be realized yet." I looked at him with some hesitation on my face and continued.
"Don't sell it! What long-term planning, just say what to do in front of you! What can I do. ”
Dazhi frowned, obviously, unhappy with my reservations.
"Why? Why long-term planning? How long will it take to implement? It seems that Dazhi is not suspicious of my idea itself, but is more concerned about the reasons why it cannot be realized.
"We don't have any capital at the moment, and my idea needs a certain amount of capital to support it, so we have to face the reality at present." I spoke to him calmly, and at the same time reminded myself to keep a clear head.
"How long will your long-term planning take?"
"Three years."
"Why three years? Three years, how many things can happen, don't you think it's too long? ”
Dazhi is an urgent person, and like me, he urgently needs to do something in the shortest possible time to prove himself.
This, to a certain extent, has the same reasons as me.
Looking at his urgency, I smiled heartily.
At the same time, patiently explain to him why it takes enough time to start what you want to do.
"This plan needs funds, and it can only be implemented when there is enough time, enough money to go to work, and enough capital to start implementing it."
Dazhi glanced at me and smiled awkwardly, he realized his gaffe.
"Brother, what is your business plan going to do?"
"A small investment."
"How much does it cost?"
"About 100,000."
After listening to my words, he stared at me intently for a long time, and then laughed "haha".
"What are you laughing at?" I was a little hairy by his laughter.
"You are such a conservative person, you want to save three years of money for investment? Hahaha. He burst out laughing again, as if he had encountered the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"I'm serious, and I've been thinking about it for a long time." , I said seriously, with a very serious expression.
He looked at me and stopped laughing.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course."
"So what kind of investment are you going to make?"
"Mining and real estate."
He laughed again.
"You're crazy." He looked at me,
"100,000 yuan, you can't do either of these two industries, are you really stupid?"
"I'm not stupid, brother. These two things are done step by step. You have to be patient, listen to what I have to say. ”
He looked at me again for a long time to see if I was teasing him.
"Say it, let me hear it, and see how amazing your plan is." Obviously, he still doesn't believe in my so-called investment plan.
"Have you forgotten our profession? We are engineering majors, so we need to use our expertise to solve our own shortcomings, and the key to successful business speculation is to build on our strengths and avoid weaknesses. ”
Dazhi thought seriously for a long time, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't seem to have a clue at all, so he shouldn't have come up with anything.
"Don't sell it, what do you want to do? How? How to do it step by step? In which city? ”
"Mining is in my hometown, and real estate investment is in Beijing." , I'm confident.
"You pull it down, 100,000 yuan mining is not realistic in your hometown?" , he scratched his head, half-convinced.
"Brother, I know what you think, you didn't jump out of the fixed way of thinking, so you didn't understand what I was going to do, mining is not the traditional model you think, real estate investment is not a big deal you take for granted, I am four or two thousand pounds, but, the initial strategy is that the mining plan is a short-term investment, real estate is a long-term plan, now, you understand, right?"
He still didn't get it.
It seems that I can't explain it clearly to him in one or two sentences, so I went on to explain it to him.
"When we were in college, I once went back to my hometown and found that the rock on a mountain in my hometown was very special, very similar to the hematite mentioned in the geotechnical science of our university, so I took some samples back to the school to ask our tutor for identification, and finally confirmed that my judgment was correct."
Dazhi was still frowning, and he stared at me, as if studying what I was thinking and what I would say next.
"There is a whole mountain in my hometown, full of such stones, and no one knows about this so far, and it is estimated that no one will know about it in the short term."
"Moreover, even if someone finds out, such a big mountain will not be destroyed all at once, so even if we don't start the mining project for three years, such a large mineral deposit will still leave us with enough opportunities, as long as we don't give up, the opportunity to do what we want to do will not be lost, and it will always be waiting for us."
"You go on." , He lowered his head and took a sip of wine, as if he felt that I had no plan, but after a preliminary explanation at the beginning, it was now a little interesting.
"I want to use tens of thousands of yuan to buy an iron ore crushing equipment, rough process the ore, and then sell the coarse ore powder. It's that simple! ”
"Is there a market?" , If it is just to crush iron ore, the investment of 100,000 yuan is indeed reliable, and Dazhi has a little bit to understand my savings for a small investment plan.
"There is no problem with the market, and the steel mills in the north need this ore powder."
"So the first step is to build an ore powder yard first. If you succeed, you will withdraw when you make money. ”
"Next, do you want to use the iron ore farm as collateral, go to the bank for a loan, and make real estate investment? Right? ”
Dazhi is really smart, and as soon as I explained, I immediately thought of my next business plan.
I nodded.
"Iron ore rough crushing, belongs to the preliminary processing industry, and is not a sustainable industry, now the national environmental protection although there is no clear regulatory policy, but governance is a matter of time, so, mining matters, can not be more than two years, investment real estate has to return funds, must be released immediately, the equipment is sold."
My thinking is very clear, but whether it can be realized, there are indeed many unknown factors, and there are still many details to be analyzed, and this matter is too big a bet.
But Dazhi agrees.
He listened to my plan and seemed very encouraged.
"Investing in real estate is not as simple as you think? Besides, the investment in real estate is often tens of millions, where is it as simple as you think? He was still a little confused.
"When I talk about investing in real estate, I'm not doing land investment as you think."
He gave me a puzzled look, and then immediately understood what I was thinking.
"You mean, it's not about development, it's just about the tertiary market?"
"Do you think it's possible to do development? Even if we succeed in the first step and the mining farm makes money, is it possible that we make that little money? Engaging in real estate investment, millions are a drop in the bucket. ”
We looked at each other for a moment.
They laughed heartily.
"Heroes see the same thing!" This time, we finally got the same idea.
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
What we can do is easy to say, but there are still various difficulties and obstacles in implementation, and we must do what we can and seek truth from facts.
"I couldn't agree more with you!" After listening to my investment plan, Dazhi was very encouraged, and even a little bit of a fist grinder.
"Turn your plan into two years, count me in, and in two years, I will come back from Shenzhen and work with you on the mining farm."
I smiled and looked at him.
"When it comes to investing with me, you have to think clearly, if something goes wrong, we will go back to square one and have nothing again. My plan, some time ago, the reason why I didn't mention it to you is that I wanted to gamble alone, and I didn't want to pull you into the water. ”
"I decided to go into the water with you."
He spoke with a steady, seemingly completely immersed in what seemed to me to be a relatively good business plan.
"Our buddies have nothing, but they have failed, so what is two or three years worth? If we fail, we can start again, and we will make a comeback, as long as people are still there, we must keep trying and struggling until we toss into something! ”
I was moved by Dazhi's statement, and also inspired by his optimism, yes, for poor students like us who have nothing, tossing into something is our only goal of survival, "losing the east and reaping the mulberry", and it can be regarded as an explanation for our emotional failure.
"Okay, then we'll make a formal agreement here, and start implementing our business plan together in two years!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
We agreed that the business plan would not seem so far off becoming a reality, so we took our glasses and drank them all.
The future is beautiful, as long as there are dreams.
The snow outside the window, for some reason, has quietly stopped.
As far as the eye can see, the buildings, trees, and landscapes near and far have become a white expanse, and it seems that they have become one.
Dazhi went to Shenzhen to work according to the established plan, but when he left, he was full of ambition, and with our common dream, it seemed that the separation had become less sad.
We reunited in Beijing two years later, and the promise to start a business together inspired each other, and the idea of doing something made our hopes no longer seem so far away.
After Dazhi left, I went to work and got off work step by step, worked hard, worked hard to make money, and made reserves for entrepreneurship.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time working on our business plan with Dazhi by phone or email, and the original rough business idea is planned and subdivided, becoming clearer and more feasible.
Time flies.
Before the arrival of spring, I finally moved out of the basement of the snail house, and shared a two-bedroom apartment with my colleagues on the ground in the same community, and finally had a real sunny nest in the capital.
I concentrate on doing my own thing, my mind is as calm as water, and I have no distractions in my heart for a long time, except for work, which is to plan the business implementation blueprint of the mining farm, eliminating all external interference.
However, one weekend afternoon.
The sudden arrival of a man disrupted my newly restored peaceful life.
