Chapter 26 2. Mayflower

After leaving the officialdom, I understand why many men do not hesitate to pay the price, hide their strengths and bide their time, and try their best, because the desire for power is a human instinct. I enlightened and comforted myself to find a way out again. One night, Shawei, the general manager of Heishuihe Urban Construction Real Estate Development Company, and his wife came to visit my house. The couple came here specifically to find Yang Na.Eastern State Airlines was recruiting flight attendants, and Javert's daughter also signed up.To be on the safe side, they wanted Yang Na to find someone to help.

Javert and I got acquainted because of the renovation of the largest shanty town in the Heishuihe District.This shantytown is home to the poorest and lowest-level residents in Dongzhou City. There are about 3,000 households. The highest education is junior high school, and the biggest official is the deputy section chief. Before liberation, this area was the residential area of ​​the poorest people. At that time, because there were many prostitutes, Dongzhou people called this area Rouge Fort.The houses here are dilapidated, and when the rainy season comes, every home is flooded. Fifty years after liberation, the people still live in such houses, which makes the leaders of the municipal party committee and government very disturbed.

At that time, the company that undertook the reconstruction project of the Rougebao area was the Heishuihe Urban Construction Real Estate Development Company where Javert was located.Javert dealt with me a lot because of running approval documents and funds. Every time I accompanied Zhang Guochang to inspect the Rougebao construction site, Javert was also with him. After a long time, we became friends. "Raimer, what should we do next?" Javert asked with concern. "I want to start a business wear company, but no one invests." I said helplessly. "How much will it cost?" Javert asked generously.

"At least half a million." I said with a frown. "I know that there is a huge market for business wear. The property branch of our company orders hundreds of business suits every year. Remo, you have to look down on your brother. Let's cooperate. I invest and you manage it." I was very excited when I heard it, and felt like a pie in the sky. "Where is the company's address?" I asked urgently. "I have a small building of 300 square meters in the downtown area of ​​Heishuihe District. The location is good. You can go and see it someday. If you can, you can get a license."

"To run a license, you must first choose the name of the company." I said excitedly. "Leimo, you are a cultural person, you can decide on the name." I am very grateful to Javert for his generosity and trust.After sending Javert and his wife away, I was obsessed with naming the company.I searched all over Cihai and dictionaries, but I couldn't find a suitable name, so I flipped through the books in the study room, and I was bored in the study room all day. I know that the name of the company is the first step in my new career, and I must choose it well. I chose "Threesome", "February Bird", "Ode to Fengya", "Yuan", "Qing", "Han" and so on. , Yang Na doesn't like it, I know that choosing a good name must ensure that the name is not duplicated when the Industrial and Commercial Bureau checks the name.

I chose more than twenty names in a row.I am not very satisfied, so I will not choose any more, just pick up a book and read it.The title of this book is good, it is called "Revolution in the Study". The book introduces that the British immigrants boarded the port of Plymouth on a large sailboat named "Mayflower". It was November 11, 1620, a cold day, and they stepped off the One hundred and two Puritan emigrants, ragged and shabby.They tossed at sea for four months and traveled 5,000 kilometers.Not long after these 102 people landed, the severe cold came, and some people froze to death one after another.In the next few winters, people continued to die. It was such a group of dying people who signed the famous "Mayflower Treaty", which established the self-government principle of the thirteen colonies in North America.It is said that its role is no less than that of the later "Declaration of Independence".

I was deeply attracted by the words "Mayflower". It can be said that without the "Mayflower", there would be no subsequent history of the United States.It is said that their destination was Virginia, and the wind and waves blew them as far as Plymouth.I decided to name the company "Mayflower Uniform Garment Co., Ltd." "Mayflower" has a sense of pioneering and breaking ground, and it is beautiful, suitable for a clothing brand.Yang Na was elated when she heard the name, and she admired me so much.I told Javert the name, and Boss Sha was very satisfied.Later, I looked at the 300-square-meter small building owned by Javert in the downtown area.

To be honest, I am not very satisfied with this small building. Although the location is located in the downtown area of ​​Heishuihe District, Heishuihe District is the heavy industry base of Dongzhou City. In the past two years, nearly a hundred laid-off workers in Dongzhou City Ten thousand, the Heishuihe area accounts for half of it, and the citizens reluctantly call the Heishuihe area a "resort area". But I am eager to win. If I choose such a small building of 300 square meters in the city center, the annual rent will not be less than 150,000 to 60,000 yuan. "Since it's a cooperation, the rent is considered an investment. This small building doesn't charge rent. However, Lei Mo, I eat imperial food after all. People in the district's industry, commerce and taxation know me. Can I register in the city?" Javert said cautiously.

"The 'Li-Zhang case' has just ended. The city's industry, commerce and taxation used to be under Zhang Guochang's management. The staff all know me. I just came out of the mountain, so it's better to keep a low profile. I'll find a way to register in the province." I thought for a while and said. "That's great, our small company can have a big name, can it be done?" Javert asked with bright eyes. "Some of my college classmates are directors of the provincial industry and commerce bureau. I will look for them when the time comes."

I said they were college classmates, but they were not from the same department or class, but they knew each other. "Hurry up and do it." After Javert finished speaking, he took out five thousand yuan from his purse and handed it to me. "Leimo, it takes money to do things, you can use the money first." I was so moved. In the evening, Yang Na and I were having dinner at home when the phone rang. I heard it was Song Diancheng calling from Hong Kong. "Leimo, I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you before I left the country. I was supposed to be back in a week, but my wife confiscated my mobile phone as soon as I got home. I invited a few friends to go hunting in the mountains and lost my way. Less risk, I stayed in the mountains for more than a month." The reason was high-sounding, and I just laughed it off.He asked about the progress of renting houses on Zhuangyuan Road.

"The house has been rented out." I said disapprovingly. Song Diancheng scolded Hu Xiaozhi for his lack of credibility, "Brother Song, what do you think about the cooperation?" I asked solemnly. "Let's have an interview after returning to Dongzhou." Song Diancheng said sarcastically. People don't want to say it, and I don't force it.Soon he got to the main topic of the call, "Is sister-in-law at home?" Song Diancheng asked politely. Boss Song has been abroad for too long, and he can no longer tell the difference between sister-in-law and younger siblings. He often calls my daughter-in-law sister-in-law and younger siblings mixed up, but he is often called sister-in-law. Boss Song is a businessman, and a businessman must have the ability to take advantage of all the advantages. He called only to beg Yang Na to buy a discounted air ticket.Since Yang Na and I got acquainted with Boss Song, Boss Song often asked Yang Na to buy discounted air tickets, because the chef of Hemingchun Hotel is from Hong Kong, and he often has to fly to and fro. Over the years, I have met many big bosses, and I found that there are two main types: the fake foreign devil bosses are more stingy than the other, and the real foreign devils are worthless; the big bosses of state-owned enterprises are the most generous, and the most worthy ones are the big bosses of private enterprises.For example, Mr. Long, a Filipino foreign businessman who taught Zhang Guochang to "harvest yin to replenish yang", is also Chinese, and he and Zhang Guochang get along like brothers and sisters, but most of the money for "harvesting yin to replenish yang" is taken by Zhang Guochang. Yang Na answered Boss Song's phone call, she was reluctant to do it for him, but she still agreed. Yang Na's job of Javert's daughter joining an airline as a flight attendant went very smoothly, because the girl's qualifications were really good, and Yang Na worked hard with it, so it was quickly finalized and she has already gone to Shanghai for training.This has deepened my confidence in cooperating with Javert.
