One day, Zhang Mei and Mei Yu were in the office of Jinxin cloth store, and the two were talking. Zhang Mei said: "Since we have imported this batch of wool into the power plant, Shen Yun has been very dissatisfied with me, and has avoided me for many things, beware of me, and does not let me know. Mei Yu said, "This is also something that cannot be helped." ”

Zhang Mei said: "My mother is always urging me to get married, and I don't think this matter can be delayed. Mei Yu said: "My mother also urged, no, just do it." I thought, buying a house near the store, as a wedding room, and going back to my hometown every day, ten miles away, and the road is not easy to walk, it is too troublesome. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Now that we are developing our business, how can we have so much money to buy a house?" ”

"Funds are not a problem, now to buy a house of more than 120 square meters, it is only 100,000 yuan, and the down payment is 30,000 yuan."

"How is it 30,000? If you have a house in your hometown, and then you buy a house, which is a second house, and the down payment is 30%, and you have to pay 40,000 or 50,000 yuan? ”

"You don't understand this, now you can buy a certificate of no house in your name for twenty yuan, there are people who specialize in this kind of business, I will do this."

"If you want to buy it, buy it as soon as possible, just three or four hundred meters south of our store, there is a newly built real estate, buy it early, and pick a good location."

Mei Yu said, "Okay, let's go see the house this afternoon." ”

Zhang Mei said with some sorrow: "There is another thing I must explain to you, according to our customs, a bride price is required for a daughter to marry; And according to your customs here, the woman not only does not want a bride price, but also a dowry; We have different customs, how should we deal with this matter? ”

Mei Yu smiled and said, "You have always been the most scheming, but there is nothing you can do about it?" ”

Zhang Mei said: "It's not that I can't help it, I'm afraid that this matter will not be handled well and make the old people on both sides unhappy." ”

Mei Yu said lightly: "This thing is easy to do, how much dowry do you usually need there?" ”

"Fifty or sixty thousand."

"It's easy to do, give your parents a dowry of 60,000 yuan, and don't want your family to accompany the dowry, this matter will be solved."

"But now we have to do business, buy a house, give a bride price, and get married, and the funds are too tight. Fortunately, thanks to the business of the power plant, more than 300,000 yuan was earned. ”

Zhang Mei snuggled up to Mei Yu, Mei Yu stretched out her hand to hug her, and said, "Okay, everything will be fine, we have to continue to develop our business, develop our career, and difficulties will pass." ”

Time flies, time flies, and two years have passed. In the past two years, Mei Yu and Zhang Mei bought a house, got married, and gave birth to a son.

One day at noon, Mei Yu was having lunch at home, and Zhang Mei came back in a hurry. Meiyu asked, "Why did you come back at this time?" Zhang Mei sat down, poured some water to drink, and then said, "I have something important to tell you." "What's the matter, you're going to make a special trip?"

Zhang Mei stabilized and said: "Our city's steel factory has to make more than 3,000 sets of woolen suits, and I heard Director Jiang accidentally say that he leaked his mouth." Director Zhu of the steel plant and the secretary of our factory were classmates, and they probably talked about it, so I was in a hurry to come back. Do you think we should grab this business? ”

"Of course you have to grab it." Mei Yu said categorically.

Zhang Mei said: "You mean to grab it the same as last time?"

"It depends on Director Zhu's appetite."

"If I rob this business, I won't be able to continue in the factory, so I will have to resign." Zhang Mei said.

Mei Yu said: "It doesn't matter if you resign, the chrysanthemum fashion factory can't last long, sooner or later it will go bankrupt, it's the same if you come down early or come down late."

In the past two years, woolen cloth stores have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and fifteen or six have opened at once, and woolen retail stores are not easy to do. I was thinking about opening a wool wholesale department in the wholesale cloth market. In my opinion, when the business of the steel mill is done, I will go to the cloth wholesale market to open a wool wholesale department, and then you will be in charge of the wholesale, and let your sister be in charge of the retail. Doing business is to sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and you have to see a little farther and higher than others. If you stick to it and don't develop, you will be eaten by others. ”

Zhang Mei said: "I understand what you said, but I think it's a bit uncomfortable for Secretary Chen." I was introduced by a relative at that time, and I came to the secretary, and without Secretary Chen, I would not be where I am today. ”

"Me too," said Mei Yu, "but it has nothing to do with business." We will remember the kindness of the secretary in the future. ”

Zhang Mei said, "I don't want to think so much, just do what you have to do, anyway, this business may not be successful." Meiyu said: "Do your best, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Meiyu came to Director Zhu's office. Director Zhu is a fat man, wearing a suit, and is drinking tea. Mei Yu handed over her business card and introduced herself.

Director Zhu took a sip of tea and said, "I have made an appointment with you Secretary Chen on this matter." Mei Yu asked, "Have you signed the contract?" Director Zhu said: "Old classmate, what contract to sign." After a pause, he said, "Speaking of which you are a family, you don't need to talk about it anymore, go back and say hello to Lao Chen." ”

Mei Yu walked out of the office.

Back at home, Zhang Mei was coaxing her son to sleep, and when her son fell asleep, Zhang Mei asked, "How is the talk?" Mei Yu said: "He said that he had made an appointment with Secretary Chen." ”

"Yes," Zhang Mei said: "I heard Director Jiang say that the secretary and Director Zhu have been booked, no, forget it, let's not fight." ”

Mei Yu poured a glass of water, took a few sips, and said, "I'll go to the bank." ”

Zhang Mei asked, "What are you doing in the bank?" ”

Mei Yu said: "I'll go get 100,000 yuan, and I'll go to Director Zhu's house tonight." ”

Zhang Mei hesitated, "Can this work?" ”

Meiyu said, "Let's try our luck." After saying that, Meiyu went downstairs and drove away. At half past seven in the evening, Mei Yu carried a cloth bag into Director Zhu's house.

Director Zhu was still drinking tea and said to Mei Yu: "I have made an appointment with Secretary Chen about this, and it is useless how many times you run." ”

Mei Yu picked up the cloth bag and opened it to reveal a stack of banknotes. Director Zhu's eyes widened, "How much?" "One hundred thousand yuan." Meiyu said calmly.

Director Zhu said: "This can't be done, it can't be done, it can't be done." ”

Mei Yu said: "Director Zhu, I am self-employed, I have no account, even if you accept it, there will be nothing." ”

"No, no, it's not this case, I've been friends with Secretary Chen for many years, how can I be worthy of my old classmates when I do this?" Director Zhu was a little excited.

"That's right," Mei Yu said, "I give the fabric, and the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory makes the suit, isn't this the best of both worlds?" ”

"You let me think about it, let me think about it, you drink a glass of water first." He got up and poured a glass of water for the rain. "You drink water, drink water." Then he himself took a teacup and drank water. After a pause, neither of them spoke. After a while, Director Zhu said, "If you can do me a favor, I can promise you." ”

Mei Yu said, "What's the matter?" Do you just say? ”

Director Zhu said: "That's right, my son has a car, if you can help me sell it, I will promise you." ”

Mei Yu said, "Is that the one at the door?" ”

"Yes," said Director Zhu, "that's it." ”

"And how much are you going to sell it for?"

"150,000, 150,000 isn't much, right?"

"Not much," said Mei Yu, "then it's decided." Pay you 100,000 first, and the remaining 50,000 will be paid tomorrow when you come to drive. ”

Director Zhu said: "You talk to my son about this, and the two of you will decide." Then he opened the inner door and shouted, "Come out, big dragon." With the answer, another little fat man came out. Director Zhu said: "Let's get straight to the point, Dalong, this is your brother Mei, he will spend 150,000 yuan to buy your car," he pointed to the cash on the coffee table and said, "I will pay you 100,000 yuan now, and I will pay you 50,000 yuan when I come to drive tomorrow." It's a matter for the two of you, you do it. ”

Dalong said: "That's good, thank you Brother Mei." Then he poured water for the plum rain and said, "Brother Mei, drink water." He handed the plum rain cigarettes.

"Okay, you two can do this, it has nothing to do with me."

Meiyu and Dalong set a time to come tomorrow, and then walked out of the Zhu family.

Mei Yu returned home and told Zhang Mei about the situation. Zhang Mei said: "You bought his car, what if there is any change in Director Zhu?" ”

Mei Yu said: "He doesn't dare to make any changes, you can rest assured about this." ”

The next day, Meiyu came as promised, handed over 50,000 yuan to Dalong, and then together with Dalong, drove the car directly to the old car market and handed it over to Meiyu's classmates. Mei Yu quietly asked her classmates: "How much can this car sell for?" The classmate said, "Up to 20,000 yuan." ”

Dalong was so happy that he had to invite Mei Yu and his classmates to drink, but he found a high-end restaurant, got two bottles of Wuliangye, and drank happily.

One day later, Director Zhu called Meiyu to sign an agreement at the steel plant, and at the price set by Director Zhu and Secretary Chen, he ordered a price of 100 yuan per meter for 9,000 meters.

Mei Yu went home and told Zhang Mei about the situation. Zhang Mei said happily: "I earn 80 yuan per meter, I can earn 720,000 yuan for 9,000 meters, and I can earn 600,000 yuan by subtracting 130,000 yuan." This time I can't do it in the factory anyway, I know them well with the woolen factory, I ask for leave to go with you, and strive to win 70 yuan per meter. ”

Zhang Mei took out a bottle of red wine and poured two glasses. "Here, let's have a toast."

Mei Yu finished the business with the steel plant, and Secretary Chen was furious. Zhang Mei was at home and said to Mei Yu: "I robbed the business of the steel factory, and I can't go to the Chrysanthemum Fashion Factory." I wrote a letter of resignation and asked Xu Yanping to hand it over to Shen Yun. I still have some things in the drawer, and I also asked Xu Yanping to bring them back, and in addition, I still owe more than 10,000 yuan to the factory. ”

Mei Yu said: "The money is owed first, and there is a certificate of departure on the top, and they will talk about it when they ask you for money." In addition, you arrange the home, I arrange the store, let's set off together, go to a few woolen mills in the south, and discuss with them about the wool wholesale department, let's drive to a few more. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Can we both go, can we arrange it at home?" ”

Mei Yu said: "There is no problem at home, you let your cousin take care of the house, and your sister will take care of it in the store, and there will be nothing wrong." And you are more familiar with the Southern Woolen Mill, you go, and the business is easy to discuss. ”

The first one they went to the Jiangyin worsted wool mill. This factory is a township enterprise, but it is the largest in the country and is well-known throughout the country. Their wool materials, novel colors, good quality, very popular, and variety. Mei Yu and Zhang Mei understood that as long as they took this factory, their wholesale department would be able to do it.

The two of them were received by Accountant Jiang. Accountant Jiang is twenty-five or six years old, with long hair and a shawl, and she is a very shrewd woman. In the past, when Zhang Mei went, she brought her gifts, so she was very enthusiastic about Zhang Mei.

Zhang Mei sat down beside her, and when she saw that there was no one in the room, she took out a pair of jade bracelets and handed them to her. Accountant Jiang smiled and said, "Ah, I'm really sorry, such a valuable jade bracelet." ”

Zhang Mei said: "It's nothing, thanks to your help a lot before, a small gift, not a respect." ”

Accountant Jiang put the jade bracelet in the drawer and looked at Mei Yu, "Who is this?" Zhang Mei hurriedly said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my husband and Meiyu." ”

Accountant Jiang was surprised and said, "Ah, what a beautiful man, sit down." Accountant Jiang made two cups of tea and said, "Come, drink tea." Zhang Mei said: "This time, I also asked Sister Jiang for help." We are going to set up a wool wholesale department in our city's cloth wholesale market. You know, our city is a civilized logistics wholesale market in the country, if it can be started, the sales volume will definitely be very large. I still need Sister Jiang's help in this matter. ”

Accountant Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "I have to find Mr. Chen for this matter, Chen is always the number one, and only he has this right." In this way, you drink tea first, I will go to Mr. Chen to talk about it, I will raise the scale of your business to the highest, the key is credit, I will talk about your credit, say that you have good credit, this business can be done. ”

Zhang Mei said: "The key is to release the goods. Accountant Jiang said, "I know this." ”

After Accountant Jiang left, Mei Yu said: "If this factory can be won, our wholesale department will be able to open." Zhang Mei said: "It depends." ”

After a while, Accountant Jiang came back, she said: "I have said all my good words, Mr. Chen said that on the basis of the ex-factory price, I will reduce you by seven points, but it is not possible to release the goods, and you have to get the goods in cash." Zhang Mei was a little disappointed. Accountant Jiang said again: "Let's go over together and talk to him again." ”

The three of them entered Mr. Chen's office together. Mr. Chen saw Zhang Mei and said with a smile: "Zhang Mei, I will deduct seven points for you, this is a price that others can't get." Accountant Jiang introduced the plum rain again. Mr. Chen said: "I heard that your business is doing well. ”

Zhang Mei said: "Relying on the support of Mr. Chen, he can give us some goods, our wholesale department has just started, and the funds are a little tight." ”

"That's it," Mr. Chen said, "I'll deduct eight points for you, so it's okay." As for releasing the goods, not yet. Okay, I've got something to do, so be it. Zhang Mei couldn't talk anymore, so she exchanged a few words and walked out of the office.

Accountant Jiang said: "It's time for dinner, let's go eat first." "The factory has tables every day at noon and in the afternoon, and the high-end hotel is free to stay in.

Accountant Jiang said: "You live here, anyway, our factory is in charge of eating and living, living in a high-end hotel, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas." You go to Mr. Chen tomorrow and talk to him, maybe there will be a turnaround. The three of them talked and came to the restaurant. The restaurant is very large, there are already more than a dozen tables, and the three of them find a table to sit down, and there are eight people seated at this table, all of whom are here to buy.

When the food was served, they poured it full of wine. Accountant Jiang said: "Come, fill Zhang Mei, she can drink it." Zhang Mei said, "I won't drink it." Accountant Jiang said, "Why don't you drink, come, I'll drink with you." ”

After a while, the fish came up, and Accountant Jiang said: "This is the Yangtze River fish, more than 80 yuan a catty, come, everyone eats." ”

After eating, when she returned to the hotel, Mei Yu said, "I'm tired today. Then he lay down on the bed and said, "I see you've drunk a lot today, doesn't it matter?" Zhang Mei smiled and said: "I drank half a catty today, it's okay, I used to drink at most a catty." Mei Yu smiled and said: "It seems that I can't drink you, and when the wholesale department is done, I will compare the amount of wine with you to see who can drink." Zhang Mei smiled and said, "I see if you drink too much, what kind of alcohol do the couple drink?" Mei Yu said, "If you want to compare, they all say that you can drink, but I want to see how much you can drink?" "Alright, let's rest."

Mei Yu said: "I don't know if I can negotiate with Mr. Chen tomorrow." Zhang Mei said: "Leave it to fate, don't you often say that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to succeed?" ”
