Chapter 41: Friends
Early the next morning, Li Daqi told Song Yuanchao that he had talked to Gu Jie, but Gu Jie wanted to see Song Yuanchao.
Song Yuanchao was not surprised by this reply, after all, this is not a trivial matter, and it is normal for Gu Jie to have concerns in his heart.
The time in the morning is limited, Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi will have to go to work in the school-run factory, Song Yuanchao thought about asking Li Daqi to ask Gu Jie to meet at a nearby state-run restaurant in the evening, and have a meal together by the way.
After getting off work, Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi rode to the state-run hotel, and as soon as they parked the car, they saw that Gu Jie had also arrived.
"Gu Jie!"
"Brother Song, Daqi." Gu Jie smiled and waved at Song Yuanchao to them, but Song Yuanchao noticed that his smile was a little far-fetched, and it seemed to be on his mind.
Entering the hotel, Song Yuanchao ordered food from the waiter in front of the counter, and Gu Jie was about to rush to pay when he checked out, but before the money was taken out, Song Yuanchao glanced over, and Li Daqi, who knew about it, directly dragged him away and pressed him directly to the seat inside.
After settling the account and taking the ticket, he came to the seat with two bottles of rice wine, Gu Jie said embarrassedly: "Brother Yuanchao, it stands to reason that I should invite your ......." ”
"It's all my own brothers, who invites it, isn't it the same?" Song Yuanchao said with a smile, put the wine in his hand on the table, Gu Jie hurriedly took it and pried open the cap with chopsticks, and took the cup to pour it for Song Yuanchao first.
After pouring the wine, Gu Jie was about to scatter the cigarette, but Li Daqi's hand was faster than him, so he directly dispersed it first, and then lit it.
After a while, the dishes came up, and Song Yuanchao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come on, Daqi, Gu Jie, let's have a drink first." ”
"Cheers!"
Touched the glass, drank it all, put down the wine glass, and Song Yuanchao beckoned them to eat.
The dishes in the state-run restaurant are very good, especially for Song Yuanchao's appetite. It is difficult to eat such an old Benbang dish in later generations, and now while it is still common, Song Yuanchao naturally wants to eat more.
Everyone didn't say anything right away, eat and drink first, after three rounds of drinking, Gu Jie couldn't help but take out a cigarette to disperse, Song Yuanchao took it and lit it, and asked with a smile: "Did Daqi tell you about that?" ”
"I told you yesterday, why can't Brother Song say that he won't do this business?" Gu Jie asked a little nervously.
"Hehe......." Song Yuanchao smiled: "Gu Jie, you are not an outsider, although we have not known each other for a long time, but you are Daqi's good friend, Daqi and I grew up as children, closer than brothers, you are his good friend, that is, my friend." ”
"It's a deal that you helped me get ...... in the first place." Speaking of this, seeing that Gu Jie was about to say something, Song Yuanchao waved his hand and signaled for him to finish first.
"It's a coincidence to say that this business is a coincidence, there is just such a batch of casing sources, and you can only do it if you help solve the site problem."
"Remember what I said when I borrowed the bomb shelter? Originally, I was going to do it for two or three months, and this business is not difficult to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the three links of raw materials, production and sales. The production is very simple, and you have also exercised it these days, as for the raw materials, the iron wire is easy to get, and the difficult thing is nothing more than the casing. ”
Speaking of this, Song Yuanchao smiled: "So, it is not difficult for those who will be able to do this, now Zhang Bin and Wang Jianjun are planning to do it alone, this can't be stopped, since they can't be stopped, let them do it." Gu Jie, I'll be honest with you, even if you take over this business, I'm afraid you will do it for another month, firstly, the inventory of casing is limited, and secondly, this transaction is a side game, there is a certain risk, and it is okay in a short time. ”
"But Brother Song, even if Zhang Bin and them go out to do it alone, you can take us to continue to do it!" Gu Jie hurriedly said.
Song Yuanchao and Li Daqi beside him looked at each other and smiled: "Daqi and I haven't done much these days, our factory is very busy with work, except for coming to take a walk in the morning and evening, reconciliation or something, many things are you and people are busy." In this case, it is better to take it over to you directly, the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is better to give it to others, isn't it? ”
At this moment, Gu Jie's heart was full of gratitude, and he was speechless for a while.
As an educated youth who returned to the city, Gu Jie's family conditions were also not very good, like most educated youth, he had brothers and sisters, and he also had poor living conditions at home, and more importantly, Gu Jie had not been able to get a job after returning to the city.
Just when Gu Jie was distressed about this, Li Daqi found him, and at first he only came to him because of renting a warehouse, Gu Jie remembered the air-raid shelter that his father managed, and privately rented the air-raid shelter to Song Yuanchao without telling his father.
Gu Jie was just doing his friend a favor in his heart, and he didn't want to get any benefits in it, so when he took Song Yuanchao and them to see the air-raid shelter, when Song Yuanchao specially asked for the rent, Gu Jie didn't ask for anything.
It was precisely because of Gu Jie's reality that Song Yuanchao pulled him into this small group that he had the opportunity to follow Song Yuanchao to do this business together.
In the past month, Gu Jie has earned his father's salary income for a whole year, and seeing that this business is getting hotter and hotter, Gu Jie's heart is more and more happy.
In Gu Jie's mind, Song Yuanchao is a person with great ability, and it is his luck to be able to make friends with such a person. In the past month, Gu Jie has lived a more fulfilling time period than any time period in the previous years, and Gu Jie, who has seen hope, is full of longing for a better future.
But just yesterday, Li Daqi suddenly found him, saying that Song Yuanchao and he were ready to withdraw, and asked him if he was willing to take over the business of hangers. When he heard this, Gu Jie's whole body was blindfolded, what was going on? It's done well, why did Song Yuanchao suddenly stop doing it?
Li Daqi didn't hide it from him, and privately told Gu Jie about Zhang Bin and Wang Jianjun, and after learning about it, Gu Jie was as angry as Li Daqi, and he wanted to go to Zhang Bin to reason with them on the spot. Later, Li Daqi dragged him and told him that Song Yuanchao had already considered this, and not only because of this matter, Song Yuanchao didn't want to do this business for a long time, since Zhang Bin and their business is now happening, Song Yuanchao plans to transfer this deal to Gu Jie, and specially asked him to ask Gu Jie what he meant.
At that time, Gu Jie's mind was very confused, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He told Li Daqi to let him think about it, and at the same time hoped to meet Song Yuanchao for a chat.
Li Daqi said that there is no big problem with this, but he has to communicate with Song Yuanchao first, and Li Daqi came to tell Gu Jie that Song Yuanchao agreed, which is why there is now this bureau of the state-run hotel.
"Brother Song, Daqi." Taking a sharp puff of cigarette, Gu Jie said: "This deal was originally Brother Song's, Brother Song, it doesn't matter if you and Daqi can't take care of each other, you have a job now but I don't have a job, I'll just help you keep an eye on it, it's the same as before, you don't have to give it to me directly." ”
"Sanmao, good brother!" Li Daqi was moved on the side, he saw Zhang Bin and Wang Jianjun wrong, but Gu Jie's performance made him see the sincerity of friendship between friends again.
As he spoke, Li Daqi set his eyes on Song Yuanchao, as if asking what Song Yuanchao meant.
Song Yuanchao shook his head and smiled: "This is not appropriate, we all let go and take the lion's share, which is not fair to you." ”
"But Brother Song ......."
"Listen to me first." Song Yuanchao said to Gu Jie: "After contact these days, you should know what kind of person I am, do you think that Daqi and I are the ones who take advantage of our brothers?" So don't mention this again, just take over. Although I can still do it for a month, if I do a good job, it's still good, Gu Jie, don't have any worries, just do it boldly and boldly, if you encounter a problem, you can ask Daqi or ask me, if you are a brother, don't say much, come on! We drink! ”
"Okay, Sanmao, just listen to the aid of the DPRK!" On the side, Li Daqi also said to Gu Jie with encouraging eyes.
Gu Jie thought for a while and looked up at Song Yuanchao: "Brother Song, since I have said this, I will accept it, but I have one condition and please agree." ”
"On what terms?" Song Yuanchao asked curiously.
"What if...... I say yes if. Gu Jie swallowed his saliva and said very sincerely: "Brother Song, if there is a place where you can use your brother in the future, just open your mouth, my Sanmao is a righteous person, and I want to follow Brother Song when I have the opportunity!" ”
Song Yuanchao showed an appreciative look, Gu Jie can say this to show that he is not stupid, and his character is also trustworthy, such a friend is worth making, Song Yuanchao naturally will not refuse, and immediately agreed.
