Chapter 62 Chapter Sixteen

The sea of ​​business is ups and downs, and beauties are like clouds.Zhong Yuemin's fierce attack ignited He Mei's passion. She changed from her usual ladylike image to a brave fighter in an instant. Making love seemed to be a fight. The two of them burst into thunder and lightning, full of passion.The radiant Qin Ling appeared on the stage. When Zhong Yuemin walked into Li Yuanchao's general manager's office on time as agreed, he saw that Li Yuanchao was wearing an iron-gray suit and his hairstyle was not messed up. He was sitting in front of a huge desk, buried in a high-backed leather swivel chair, answering the phone. .

Seeing Zhong Yuemin, he nodded and gestured for him to sit down, and continued to say: "Listen, this batch of goods must be declared at Man Kam To. There are my friends there. If you have transportation problems, you can ask the army for help. You go to the logistics department of the provincial military region to find Minister He, and you say that I said it, yes, you come back with the escort car, that's all right, you can work harder, yes, hurry up for the approval of the 500,000 tons of chemical fertilizer, It's late for the farming season and we can't even drink soup, okay, okay, that's it, goodbye!"

Li Yuanchao put down the phone, stood up and shook hands with Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, I expect you will come to me sooner or later." Zhong Yuemin asked: "Why?" "Do you know how many people want to join this company? A deputy minister called just now and wanted to transfer his daughter, but I haven't agreed yet." Zhong Yuemin said: "You are really a piece of Tang monk meat here. Aid Korea, we are old friends. If you have something to say, you are a businessman, not a relief station. I want to know why you are interested in me. I Is it really that useful to you?"

Li Yuanchao smiled: "Yuemin, you haven't changed at all. You have a clear mind. This is your advantage. I like dealing with people like you. Well, let's make it clear that as far as I know, your father was Siye's teacher back then." Senior cadre, right?" "Yes, but does it have anything to do with it?" "Of course it has something to do with it. Some people say that any history is contemporary history. This makes sense. After the Battle of Crossing the River, the Four Fields marched straight to Guangdong and Guangxi. If you follow the route of advance, you will find that Siye is like a big seeder, sowing seeds as you go. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the party, government, and military cadres in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces are cadres who went south from Siye. That is to say, these two provinces have you My father has many old comrades-in-arms and old subordinates, and our company's business is almost concentrated in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, so you have a natural advantage in weaving the local network."

Zhong Yuemin said in surprise: "My God, you are really a spy. You even know about my family background. I was able to join the Zhenrong Group just because my father is from Siye. You mean, if I don't have my father's qualifications, I have absolutely no possibility of coming here to work, so let me ask a question, if my father was from Erye, would Zhenrong Group not be interested in me?" Li Yuanchao smiled: "I'm afraid that's the case, because our company doesn't have any business in the southwest, and our focus is on the coastal provinces. You know, the battle of crossing the river was jointly initiated by the second, third, and fourth field armies." Yes, after crossing the river, the second field marched to the southwest, the third field went straight to Jiangxi and Fujian, and the fourth field went straight to Guangdong and Guangxi. The strategic structure of the year created the sphere of influence of local cadres after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This is the current situation in China. You can deny it, but it It does exist. In other words, if your father is from Sanye, you can also join Zhenrong Group and be in charge of the business in Fujian. If your father is from First or Second Field, then I have no choice. Who told them to fight northwest and southwest?"

Zhong Yuemin was surprised by his words. It was the first time he had heard that there were so many ways to do business. He had never thought that a history of the Chinese revolution could have such a significant relationship with making a fortune from business. But he had to admit that , what Li Yuanchao said is indeed reasonable. Li Yuanchao smiled and said, "Have you figured it out? The reason is very simple. You should be a smart person, and you can understand it at once." "Understood, you are saying that you can't do business without privileges, this is the status quo in China."

"That's right, China has so many people, everyone wants to get rich, but wealth is limited. In theory, when the total amount of wealth remains unchanged, some people have accumulated wealth, while others will have no chance of wealth." , so wealth can usually only be controlled by a few people. It is true that in this world, everyone hopes to be equal, but that is just a hope. Human beings have never been equal since the day they were born. Thinking about it, we were all educated like this when we were young. There is no distinction between high and low in revolutionary work. In fact, this is talking nonsense with staring eyes. Didn’t radicals like Zhang Chunqiao and Jiang Qing shouted to limit the legal power of the bourgeoisie and criticize them? Is it? Of course the common people support it. They can’t enjoy anything anyway. Who doesn’t want equality? But what happened? Not only did the privilege not disappear, but it intensified. I need some privileges, I want to read novels, sorry, the Xinhua Bookstore only has "Sunny Sky", "The Golden Road" and so on, but Gao Gan can buy a lot of foreign translation novels when entering the internal bookstore with the book certificate, look, Liandu The rights to novels are all monopolized. What’s even more ridiculous is that you also have privileges to watch movies. You have to have a way to see foreign movies shown inside, such as "Battle of Rome", "Courtesy of Love"... If you have no way, you can I had to watch the old-fashioned "Mine Warfare" and "Tunnel Warfare". A buddy and I haven't seen each other for ten years. I was very excited when I met him. I slapped my chest and said that I would take you to the park. I thought this kid was sick What’s the matter, I’ll take it with you when I go to the park? After making a fuss for a long time, he wanted to take me to visit Beihai Park and Jingshan Park. These two parks were closed in 1969 and became Jiang Qing’s private garden, because she wanted to ride a horse in them. , this closure lasted ten years, and it was only opened to the public three years after Jiang Qing’s downfall. It also shows that he has great powers. At that time, I thought, our country is not cured, and there are black humor everywhere. There are many countries in the world that practice privileges. Isn’t there a small birch shop in the Soviet Union? Going to the movies and going to the park have become privileges, it's too much..."

Zhong Yuemin interrupted Li Yuanchao's words: "I've been listening to you for a long time, and you seem to disapprove of privileges, but now you're using them again. Isn't that contradictory?" "Listen to me, my point is to recognize the existence of privilege, but not too much. I said that if a society has to reflect privilege even reading novels and going to the park, then this society is too bad. I advocate Limited competition, what is limited competition? For example, in business, you should allow all people who are interested in doing business to do business, but not everyone in business

You can succeed because everyone has different social resources. Education, talent, temperament, opportunities, including social relations, are all your resources. There can never be any equality on this point. You must admit the The difference, the last emperor Puyi was released from the War Criminals Management Office, so he should be an ordinary citizen, right?This old man does not work hard, does not distinguish between five grains, and his contribution to society may not be much more than that of a boarder who rides a scooter. Why does the country give him a high salary?Not for anything else, just because he was an emperor, he can't be treated the same as Lord Baner. This is Puyi's social resources. His identity has been determined since he was born. The king of subjugation is also a king. Useless.In my opinion, there must always be some privileged classes in a society. We have to admit this fact, just like the British recognize the privilege of the queen. Everyone calmly accepts this fact and regards it as a normal thing. Queen of England Doing nothing all day is not beneficial to the country at all, and enjoys a very high salary, which is all the hard-earned money of the taxpayers, so I have never seen any ordinary people who insist on equality with the Queen.It is not normal for a society to have no aristocratic class. This is common sense. The key is that you must explain the truth clearly, and you must not fool people with big words. The common people are actually reasonable. Since you enjoy the privileges, you should honestly admit it, and To prove the legitimacy of enjoying privileges, if you enjoy the privileges and call yourself a public servant, shouting that there is no distinction between high and low in revolutionary work, and everyone is equal in our society, this is fooling people, and fooling people has to pay a price , People believe your words, really think that everyone is equal, then the legitimacy of your privileges will be questioned, people will think this society is unfair, and there will be resentment, this is the inevitable price of lying.For example, Jiang Qing, a woman who can turn two famous parks into her own private garden, is no less arrogant than Cixi. Such a greedy and selfish woman is also full of restrictions on bourgeois legal rights and a lot of privileged ideas. This is a bit of pretending to be a grandson, and what's even more annoying is that even pretending to be a grandson is very arrogant. If I fool you, you have to listen. I know you don't believe it, but you can't show it. If you don't believe me, I will kill you.Although this kind of person has already become a national leader, he is actually a mentally handicapped person. If you do this, you put yourself in a very dangerous situation, just like Qin Shihuang back then, everyone in the world wants to be a hero. If you get it and punish it, whoever kills you will become a hero through the ages. This is tantamount to using your despicableness to fulfill other people's fame. Isn't this stupid? What is it? "

Zhong Yuemin laughed: "Yanchao, your point of view is very novel. To put it simply, you must admit your privileges with confidence and don't pretend to be a grandson. Can I understand it this way? Zhenrong Group is very interested in the social resources I have. I'm up for grabs." "Yuemin, you should understand what I mean. I'm not a philanthropist. I'm not interested in doing relief. I know a lot of people. It's impossible for me to take care of everyone's affairs. I can only look at the problem from the perspective of a businessman. Let me explain it clearly. , I invited you to join the Zhenro Group because of the social resources you have, and conversely, I will give you generous rewards when I use your resources, and neither you nor I will suffer."

"Understood, once I decide to work for Zhenrong Group, I don't seem to need anyone's favor. I sold my resources here, but... Aid Korea, aren't you afraid that I will blackmail you?" "According to my impression of you back then, you were still a loyal person, and I feel more at ease about this." Zhong Yuemin asked bluntly: "What position do you plan to give me?" "How about the manager of the trade department? This job is very suitable for you. If you do a good job, I can recommend you to the board of directors to be the deputy general manager of the company in the future. The key is that I can only speak if you have performance." "I can try." Li Yuanchao was also very straightforward: "I'll give you three months. After three months, I'll ask you for profit. If you can't meet the quota, I'm sorry. I'll fire you. Our friends are friends, and business is business." Zhong Yuemin said: "Okay, it's settled, but I still have a small request, I want to bring someone." "No, I'm not a leather bag company here. The personnel control is very strict. There are too many people who want to join the company. I can't do it." Li Yuanchao refused. Zhong Yuemin stood up: "Then let's say we didn't talk about anything, thank you very much." He turned to leave. "Wait a minute, I want to ask, who is it that you are so interested in? A woman?" "Yes, girlfriend." Li Yuanchao sighed: "Yuemin, you will fall into the hands of a woman sooner or later, okay, let her come, I will find a way." Ever since Zhong Yuemin joined the Zhenrong Group Company, his life has undergone tremendous changes. Life is like a kaleidoscope that is ever-changing. Fate can turn it lightly, and it can change into various colorful and seductive scenes.He has been in Zhenrong Group for several months, and he has become the best among the department managers of the entire group company. The trade department under his leadership has exceeded the profit target stipulated by the board of directors, which surprised the directors and even recommended him to join the company. Li Yuanchao of the company has a bright face, and he brags everywhere that he is a discerning talent, and has made a great contribution to the company in attracting talents. Zhong Yuemin himself is quite calm. After several months of business operations, he finally understood the secret of the commercial success of such a large company. In fact, it is very simple. Zhong Yuemin summarized it into two points. A kind of short-supply material is bought at a par price, and the price difference is negotiated. The artificially set price difference can obtain huge profits in a very short period of time, just like a pie falling from the sky.The second point is that the premise of this kind of predatory business operation is a high degree of monopoly on resource allocation.With these two advantages, even a mentally handicapped person can remain invincible.Even Zhong Yuemin, who knows nothing about business operations, can see that this way of doing business is by no means a long-term thing.Zhong Yuemin found that when power intervenes in business operations, it often produces astonishing results. Doing business does not necessarily require capital. You don’t need to worry about that, just buy the raw materials and sell them at a higher price, you just need to add the profit you want to the price of each ton of raw materials, and just sell the approval documents, and the profit will be hundreds of thousands of yuan It fell from the sky, this kind of business is similar to Ming Qiang. A "Crown" brand car was parked in front of the glass revolving door, the guard opened the door, and Zhong Yuemin, in a neat suit, got out of the car.He walked into the building and nodded to the acquaintances he met head-on. His office is on the eighth floor of this building. When he comes out of the elevator, the corridor leading to the office is covered with thick woolen carpets. The white-collar lady oncoming greets him with a smile, and Zhong Yuemin greets him frequently as a gentleman. They nodded. Zhong Yuemin walked into the office, and He Mei, a female secretary in a suit and skirt, greeted him. She took the suit jacket that Zhong Yuemin had taken off and hung it up, and gave him a cup of steaming coffee. Zhong Yuemin sipped his coffee and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and looked out the window. He could have a panoramic view of the whole city. The tall and low-rise buildings formed the unique urban skyline of a metropolis. On the street downstairs, cars the size of matchboxes were constantly passing by. The phone rang. Zhong Yuemin turned on the hands-free device casually, and a high voice came from the phone: "Manager Zhong, this is Gao, and I am declaring at the Gongbei Customs. Our company's goods have passed the inspection and the customs declaration went smoothly. Can I go back to Beijing?" "Xiao Gao, you can't return to Beijing for the time being. There are still a few batches of goods tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you have to do the customs declaration." "But I have been in Guangdong for several months. I rushed from one port to another, like a firefighter. Will I never be able to return to Beijing?" Zhong Yuemin said patiently: "Xiao Gao, don't complain, everyone is not idle, if we can't meet the profit target, we all have to go to the northwest wind." "Okay, listen to you, I won't complain, Yuemin, I haven't seen you in months, how are you?" "I'm doing fine. How about you?" "Other things are fine, just a little lonely." Zhong Yuemin smiled: "I can't help you, I'm still lonely." "Come on, I heard that you are about to become a bee now, gathering honey everywhere, I didn't wrong you, right?" Zhong Yuemin became serious: "Don't make such silly jokes during working hours. This is the company's discipline. You should put your mind on work, do you hear me?" "Yo, why are you so serious? It's boring, I'll ignore you, goodbye..." Gao hung up the phone. Zhong Yuemin lit a cigarette and buried himself in the high-backed leather chair. Gao's phone call reminded him of the existence of this girl. For the past few months, he had almost forgotten about Gao.
