Chapter 42: Two Glasses
"Go in and say! Go in and say.. Let's talk about it again! Mr. Bai has been a big investor in Jincheng Township all these years, and I have just received the news of my appointment, and the work of the Investment Promotion Office has not yet been officially taken over! So, no matter what we're talking about today... It's all private and doesn't represent any decision by our township government! ”
Xu Tao's words were a little leaky, which made Fang Wenda inevitably in a trance... If it weren't for the huge difference between Xu Tao's appearance and Liu Hongjiang, I'm afraid Fang Wenda would still think that it was not Xu Tao who was standing in front of him at this moment, but Liu Hongjiang, who was good at playing Tai Chi and practicing pushing!
"Good.. Good! I understand, I understand! ”
The two walked into the office of the village committee together, Xu Tao took a cup of tea from the electric teapot on the side to Fang Wenda, and put it in front of Fang Wenda before continuing: "Mr. Fang.. Now you can tell me anything you want, but... As I said before, today's conversation can be regarded as a communication between friends at best. ”
"Today .. Out of this door, a lot of things can't be counted anymore! ”
"Don't worry! Director Xu.. I still understand this rule, but you may not know it... I am now in this vegetable base, and outsiders look glamorous... I thought that our Wenda returned to his hometown to invest and made a lot of money in Jincheng Township! ”
But who knows the real situation? All these years: Not to mention anything else, just in our township, we donate money to schools, repair roads, repair public facilities, and it seems to be very profitable! But the farmhouse that is actually losing money every day... I also have a word of suffering! ”
"So... I made a special trip this time, first, I want to learn about the dehydrated vegetable project you mentioned before, Director Xu, and I made a special trip to learn about this project after that day. The market prospect is good, and the second is still. Over there in our vegetable base, we will continue to support our township and expand sales channels."
Fang Wenda spoke very quickly, and said a bunch of things in one breath.. Xu Tao didn't mean to interrupt Fang Wenda, just nodded vigorously.
When Fang Wenda's eyes flashed, he waited for Xu Tao to express his opinion.
Xu Tao was silent for a moment, then stood up and took two water cups from the desk on the side, which made Fang Wenda say with some confusion: "Director Xu.. Director Xu! Don't you get busy, don't you already have water to drink? Again.. If the matter is not resolved, I have been thinking about tea and dinner for the past few days, where can I still be in the mood to drink your tea! ”
Xu Tao just shook his head and said with a smile: "These two cups are not used to pour tea, but I want to tell you a story." ”
"Huh?"
Putting the two teacups on the table, Xu Tao made an analogy: "For example, now this first water cup is Mr. Fang's current vegetable base, and now there is a problem with sales, the channel is not smooth, and it seems to be operating normally.. It can still hold water, but it's actually hovering on the verge of dumping."
"Now, want to save... But I found that I couldn't find a good way for a while, and the water cup was already full of water."
As he spoke, Xu Tao took the teapot on the side and filled the first cup with a full cup of tea, because the teapot had been sitting next to it for a while. So the tea is not hot.
"The water has reached the point where it is about to overflow... And the surface of the water cup is fine, in fact, the inside is already full of cracks, what should I do in this case? ”
Fang Wenda asked confusedly, "Director Xu.. You're going to stump me... Or you.. And then again? ”
Xu Tao nodded.
Slowly picking up the glass, he continued, "So the best thing to do now is to drink it!" ”
Xu Tao drank all the tea in the cup, then looked at Fang Wenda and said, "This cup is no longer usable!" I can't take the tea in this cup with me... If you take it out, it must be sprinkled outside, so why not use this little tea and the little residual warmth that has been emitted before, and replace yourself with a new water cup? ”
After that, Xu Tao took the second water cup placed on the side, introduced it with a smile, and said: "Although the second water cup is new, it may not be as good as the original water cup at the beginning, but after all, this is a new water cup!" ”
"Not only is there no crack, but it can also better allow you to add water and drink water all the time, as for the first water cup before, it depends on whether you care if the tea in this is drunk by me, an outsider, and whether you care about this water cup that has been broken inside, and give it to others..."
"If you keep holding this first cup, the heat preservation effect is not good at the same time... It's also easy to sprinkle water, and it's easy to burn your hands, and not only that, you can't take any of the tea in it... No matter how much you cherish it, how much you care... What's the point? The philosophy in this, presumably Boss Fang has actually seen it! Isn't it? ”
Fang Wenda was silent.
I didn't know how to answer Xu Tao for a while, the two water glasses on the table were actually Fang Wenda's situation now... If you choose the first cup, behind the allusion to the vegetable base.
What will the future be...
It is already obvious that if you abandon the first cup and the tea that is already in it, switch this one to a new one..
That is, the dehydrated vegetable project mentioned by Xu Tao before, then Fang Wenda's business can continue to be done, not only that... The income may not be as good as before, after all, there are not so many existing cracks in the water cup this time, and there will be no risk of bursting in the short term.
"Xu. Director Xu, this matter.."
"It's too much to do... You'll have to give me some time, and I'll think about it. ”
Fang Wenda is not a fool.
After so many years of ups and downs in the business world, although his figure has gradually deformed, it has not worn out his most basic judgment ability as a businessman.
The meaning of Xu Tao's words, he can still understand and comprehend...
Xu Tao is not in a hurry.
Just pick up the teapot in front of you, slowly pour water into the first cup of water you just used to demonstrate, and then continue to drink it all... He was still muttering to himself: "This teacup looks good... In fact, it has reached the point where it must be broken, and it cannot be saved without superb craftsmen and exquisite craftsmanship..."
"But these days, craftsmanship is expensive, and craftsmen are even more expensive. It is often much more expensive to repair a water cup than to replace a water cup."
"But if you give this cup of water to someone before it breaks... In the future, no matter what is wrong with this cup, it will not be the same as the person who originally owned it."
"Doesn't it matter?"
...
After saying that, Xu Tao also felt that he was in place.
As the saying goes, "Words are as light as water three times." If it comes to this point, Fang Wenda still doesn't understand the situation at the moment, and he still has to stick to his vegetable base and not let go... Xu Tao can only stop there, after all, he is just a small character who has just come to Jincheng Township.
Speak.. It's not good!
Just when Xu Tao was hesitating whether to prepare to send off the guests and have some dinner this afternoon... But he saw Fang Wenda on the side raise his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and his voice trembled and said, "Director Xu.. I figured it out.. The old doesn't go, the new doesn't! This water glass, I let it! ”
