As soon as Ankang and Lin Mushuang returned home from Lujiazui, their uncle asked Ankang: "Kang, have you lent Xiao Li those tapes of my world-famous songs?" ”

"yes."

Uncle glanced at his aunt. My aunt said, "Sure enough, the tape is in Xiao Li's hand." ”

The uncle asked An Kang again: "Have you listened to all those tapes?" ”

"Hmm." An Kang nodded, "I've listened to it several times, it's very good." Or, I'll go to Uncle Lee and get the tape back. ”

"No need. The tapes were given to him. Let's eat first. ”

Ankang said again: "Uncle, what kind of music do you like to listen to?" I'll go to the video store and help you transcribe some of your favorites. ”

"It's okay. Don't mention it. ”

"Oh, okay."

In the evening, Ankang reads in his room.

The uncle walked into Ankang's room and said to him, "Kang, I'll tell you about this tape after thinking about it." You've also grown up and are no longer a child. There are some things that you can listen to as stories, and they will also let you know more about this society. ”

An Kang said, "Uncle, I'll go to Uncle Li tomorrow to get the tape back." ”

"No, no, no. Don't ask for it. That's not what I'm trying to say. ”

Ankang gave up the bed to his uncle and sat on the chair in front of the table.

The uncle asked, "Have you listened to all of those tapes after they were repaired?" ”

An Kang nodded: "I've listened to all the music inside." ”

"Did you put the tape from beginning to end until the tape recorder's play button jumped up automatically?"

When the tape is played to the end, it will play the play button and automatically stop playing.

Ankang shook his head: "The content behind the tape is empty. I listen to music on one side and then turn it back or flip it to the other side and listen to it again. ”

"Then I'll understand." Uncle smiled kindly and said, "First of all, this matter has nothing to do with you. I'm not here to blame you, I'm here to tell you how this happened. ”

"Hmm."

"The content behind that tape is not empty, it has content. I wanted to clean the content I recorded before, but because this tape is a little old, the magnetic tape in the back may be stuck and not cleaned successfully. But I didn't know it at the time, I thought it was all washed away. After that, those tapes were just regular tapes that recorded music or something. ”

"Oh."

"Didn't you fix my tape before? The magnetic tapes that were stuck must have been straightened out, so that the previously recorded content could be released. ”

"Hmm." An Kang nodded, "Some of the tapes were wrapped in the tapes, and I used a screwdriver to disassemble the tapes and pull them out and straighten them out." ”

"That's right. There's some important stuff there. That's something you can't let anyone know. After you lent the tape to Li, Li heard the contents of the tape, so the problem happened. ”

"Huh? That's right. Uncle, I'm ......."

"You don't have to say it." Uncle smiled, "I said it just now." This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself, it's my own carelessness. It's my problem. ”

Next, the uncle told Ankang what happened.

It turned out that this tape was an audio recording made by my uncle during negotiations with the supplier. After the tape was repaired by Ankang, his uncle never listened to it again, and Ankang did not listen to it completely, so they didn't know that there was still a recording in the tape.

But after Xiao Li borrowed these tapes, he discovered the secrets in the tapes, so he took the tapes to negotiate with the supplier about the purchase price of the materials.

When the price could not be negotiated, Xiao Li offered the killer feature of the tape, and threatened the supplier to supply the tape at a lower price than the price negotiated in the recording, otherwise the content of the tape would be shaken out.

Suppliers are generally one customer, one price. The price that my uncle negotiated with them was close to the lowest price in the market. If this is made public, it will make all of the supplier's customers aware of their price floor. Not only will their price system be significantly impacted, but in severe cases, it may affect the business performance of suppliers.

The supplier gave in to Li's threats and gave Li the price he expected.

At the same time, the supplier transcribed the contents of a tape and then brought the tape to Zhoupu, Shanghai, to settle accounts with his uncle.

The supplier said that the negotiation between the two people was carried out in top secret, so how could they still record it secretly? And also to pass on recordings of intimate conversations to unrelated people?

This Xiao Li threatened the supplier with a tape, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he got the price he expected. On the other hand, he used the tape incident to hit Ankang's uncle, so that he was not a person in front of the supplier.

If this supplier is dissatisfied and shakes this matter out, then Ankang's uncle will not be able to mix it up in this industry.

The uncle had to explain to the supplier in good words that the reason for the recording was because he was afraid that he would not be able to remember what he had negotiated. And the content of the recording itself was quickly cleaned up. It's just that I didn't expect an accident in the process of cleaning, and I didn't expect that this tape would fall into Xiao Li's hands.

The uncle had no choice but to offer to make up for the difference between the quotation requested by Xiao Li and the market price, hoping that the supplier Haihan. The supplier accepted his uncle's terms and left very angrily.

"How? It's not easy to do business, right? "Uncle finished telling the story and asked for Ankang.

An Kang nodded: "Uncle is really not easy. However, this tape will always be a thunder in Uncle Lee's hands. ”

"yes. It's a ticking time bomb. It will detonate at any time, but you don't know when it will explode. ”

"Uncle, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right. Uncle Lee may not have made the contents of this tape public. Maybe he's making a profit from magnetic tapes. ”

"Oh? What do you mean? Uncle's expression lit up.

"I'm thinking. If I can get materials at a lower price than normal with this tape, then wouldn't it be better for me to sell the materials I bought to others all day long, instead of being a ready-to-wear store? ”

Uncle smiled and touched Ankang's head and said, "Kang, you have really grown up." It's really not easy for you to think of this level. You're quite right. After Xiao Li made the contents of the tape public, he would only achieve the goal of harming me, but he would not get any benefit. This is a typical example of harming others and not benefiting oneself. Xiao Li is not such an ignorant person. It is very likely that he used the tapes to blackmail the supplier into providing unlimited quantities of materials. In this way, Xiao Li can make the most profit from it. Your analysis is very good. ”

Ankang nodded, confirming that this was what he was trying to say.

The uncle continued: "I also proposed to the supplier that I would make up the price difference, so no matter what price the supplier does business with Xiao Li, he will not suffer, but will benefit from it." Because Xiao Li is equivalent to helping him sell products and expand the sales channels of products. Of the three people Xiao Li, the supplier and me, the other two people benefited, and I was the only one who suffered. In fact, it is equivalent to me giving the profits to Xiao Li for nothing, and Xiao Li provides the sales to the supplier free of charge. ”

"It's so vicious!"

"Kang, there are many more vicious things in business and society. In short, what I talked to you about today will be treated as a story. Well, without further ado. You go to bed early. ”

Uncle went out, but how could Ankang go to bed early?

What his uncle told him today was far beyond his imagination. He was just imagining a possibility, but he didn't expect it to be a bloody fact.
