Chapter 380: Don’t take any money
“Friendship between people requires not only sincerity, but also gratitude and appropriate feedback. In fact, no one in the world should help anyone for granted. But people often like to commit crimes the most. The next mistake is to take other people’s help for granted.”
“Yes, true friends should be loyal. But what is loyalty? In addition to helping each other within our ability. More importantly, you should not cause trouble to your friends, and you should treat your friends' kindness with gratitude."
"Just like today. , we have just met, and you have expressed your willingness to help me, which shows me that we are all friends. But whose face are you looking for? It's because of the friendship between you. On the other hand, we are still strangers. What kind of face do I have? If you don’t help me, it’s normal.”
“In addition, this is what you want to do. It's not a small job. In terms of value, my yard is worth tens of thousands, and it is a matter of moving a cultural association, which involves the resettlement of dozens of people. It must be a big deal. There was a lot of resistance, and everyone I asked was scratching their heads. If you really help me, it will cost a lot. If I can't pay back what I should, who will I be?"
"To put it bluntly, isn't he just a shameless villain who wants to take advantage of Huo Xin's friendship with everyone? Isn't this kind of behavior a hooligan? If I am such a person, am I worthy of sitting with everyone? I Of course we can’t do that, we can only express our gratitude.”
It was through these remarks that Ning Weimin successfully improved his image.
Because no one dislikes people who understand equal exchange and repay kindness in return.
No one can look down upon such a person who understands the world and has self-respect.
In fact, it was not until this step that Ning Weimin allowed the young men opposite him to look at him favorably.
Like Wu Shen, who was nodding his head involuntarily while listening.
After Ning Weimin finished speaking, Li Zhong gave him another cigarette.
After all, there are too many people around them who are interested in taking advantage and reaping benefits.
There are very few people like Ning Weimin who know the depth and depth, and know how to advance and retreat.
But then again, speaking too beautifully can also cause rebellion.
Huo Xin finally couldn't help but speak.
"Oh, you are really too petty. You are setting up obstacles for yourself for something that is so simple in the first place."
"I told you not to do this. Okay? No one likes me or my friends to repay you. "
"According to your theory, do you have to first see whether the other party can give you something? What are the actual benefits? You just used the word 'friendship' as a philistine..."
This kind of accusation is really embarrassing.
But Ning Weimin was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he shook his head and refuted her again.
“Little comrade, if you are young, you have a child’s mentality when looking at problems. You think of the world too simply and too idealistically. Birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Isn’t this true? Then why don’t any of the people at our gathering today work as water pipe repairers or street sweepers?”
“There is also the issue of proper repayment. Of course, those who help can take the initiative to accept the kindness. But you can't think of it as a philistine, because no matter how strong a friendship is, it can only be given once or twice, but not ten times or twenty times. ? ”
“I can understand that in the eyes of many people, it would be awkward to ask friends for help and give material things in return, such as eating a meal or giving something away. Friendship is vulgar. But in my opinion, this kind of thinking is absolutely necessary. It is very necessary to express gratitude appropriately."
"Maybe I don't know the nobler way. . But through this method, I can at least express my gratitude. The importance of it is not the importance of the gift, but the expression of my heart. The key is that I have to say it so that others can hear it. You will know how much I care about this matter and how important it is to do this for me.”
"I absolutely believe in the abilities of everyone here. Perhaps as someone said just now, the big trouble in my eyes is just a trivial step for everyone. But even so, I can't pretend to be stupid. Because for me, friends are the greatest Wealth, maintaining friendship requires sincerity to always remain happy. If you lose money, there is still a chance to get it back through intelligence, but if you lose friends, there is often no second chance..."
Seriously, no one has ever spoken of material rewards in such a fair and just way, and elevated them to such a high status.
It was like a big pot of hot and fragrant chicken soup being served on the table, which immediately made everyone present feel confused.
The direct result was that Huo Xin was so convinced by Ning Weimin that she kept silent.
Jiang Hui looked at Ning Weimin with an appreciative expression.
Li Zhong and Wu Shen were fooled into cheering for Ning Weimin's words.
"It's good to be generous and generous! Oh, man, people like you are rare, this is quite interesting..."
"Hey, I, Lao Wu, love to make friends like you! Just rush If you say that, I regard you as a buddy..."
Even Jiang Hao couldn't find fault with Ning Weimin's words.
No way, Ning Weimin is definitely a master among masters.
Not only are his lines and acting skills passable, but he also knows how to enhance the atmosphere. It's like a movie with background music, which greatly increases his personal charm.
So even though it was the first time for him to meet these people, it was just such a simple conversation of a few minutes.
It is difficult for these people not to have a good impression of Ning Weimin at first sight.
However, Jiang Hao is a vigilant person after all, and his family background and talents that are higher than those of his peers have also developed his proud personality.
The more outstanding Ning Waimin's speech and behavior were, the more his previous optimism was shattered, and he had the urge to compare or even confront him.
So his mood was very complicated, including jealousy, envy, appreciation and empathy, and it was difficult to adjust to it for a while.
Even out of defensive behavior to protect his self-dignity, subconsciously, he was still racking his brains to find trouble.
Soon, his eyes lit up and he questioned Ning Weimin again.
"Brother, this is the first time I've seen such an eloquent person like you. Your eloquence is really good. But I don't understand. What's the purpose of your visit today? You don't want our help, but you also want to Make friends. You say thank you to Huo Xin, but you also blame her for selling favors to you. And do you want to solve the problem of your house? Don’t you think that your statement is a bit contradictory? What do you think is the appropriate return? ”
After saying this, the atmosphere changed again.
As a result, those who had initially trusted Ning Weimin became confused again.
“No contradiction, not at all.” Ning Weimin looked at Jiang Hao without fear.
"These are easy to explain. Huo Xin is indeed a very interesting person. In fact, it is a huge favor for her to introduce you to me and bring me to this party. Of course I have to Thank her. "
"But on the other hand, Huo Xin is afraid that she still doesn't know what kind of human price she has to pay for doing this favor for me. The key is that she doesn't understand, and her family must understand. Yes. I am a commoner, and I don’t want to cause trouble for myself.”
"Of course I want to solve the house issue, but it can't be done overnight. Fortunately, my conditions comply with the policy, and I have the land and house deeds. In addition, I am quite patient and will continue to work hard to find a suitable house." Opportunity. I believe that no matter how troublesome this problem is, it will be solved one day."
"To be honest, you can think that I am here just to make friends. The house problem can also be thought of as a way to solve other problems. I don’t shy away from the fact that making friends is utilitarian, but the key is to get along and reach a consensus on certain values.”
“ As for what kind of reward is appropriate, and how I treat my friends, I think it’s better to speak with actions. No matter how nice it sounds, it’s better to do it in practice. As long as we get along for a long time, you will understand me without me saying anything. I mean it. And I can express some small sincerity first.”
“For example, if any of you need Pierre Cardon’s suit, you can definitely come to me.” You can decide and sell it to everyone at a 50% discount, and you don’t need a foreign exchange coupon. How about this discount?”
Looking at Jiang Hui, he added specifically after Ning Weimin.
"The same goes for ladies. Although we currently focus on men's suits, we still have a lot of beautiful women's clothes."
After saying this, everyone laughed again.
After all, Pierre Carton is already well-known, and being able to wear such clothes is a prestige, and no one will refuse such an affordable benefit.
Especially Jiang Hui, as a woman, it is natural to love beauty, and she is even more happy.
However, Jiang Hao was the only one who remained unmoved, and instead pressed him with a heart-wrenching question.
"Isn't that right? According to your logic, shouldn't we demand reciprocity? Since it's an exchange of equal value, why don't you set out conditions and give us benefits for free? On the other hand, we don't want to receive rewards for nothing. Ah, wouldn’t that make me the shameless villain you said who took advantage in vain..."
Ning Weimin responded with a high hat.
"To be honest, although I don't know everyone's identities yet, I am sure. Everyone here is more powerful than me. So we can't compare at all."
"Even if you accept this small offer of mine, you are confident. Because you don't have to doubt that you can make up for this favor at any time."
"The same goes for me. What I am good at is in other places. For example, this discount on clothing is just a small amount of sincerity to me, just like the relationship in your hands. If I only repay this, wouldn't it? To make people laugh? ”
As he spoke, Ning Weimin changed the topic and made another shocking statement.
"Let me tell you something real. Let's see if we can deepen our friendship. Now I need to get to know the people in the bank and exchange the old banknotes for new ones. If anyone has this If you have some connections with me, you can help me with this small favor. I can give everyone a Pierre Cardin for free, without taking any money..."
