Chapter 423: Competing with each other
"Why are you messing around so much? Don't you know what it means to stop when you're done? You have to be so busy that you feel like clockwork to be satisfied?"
"The key is to involve me again. You guys are so ungrateful, why don't you let me know in advance?"
"This old Western capitalist is really powerful. You are willing to risk your life for them, but if you run too fast, you will fall!"
Qiao Wanlin, who was lying on the wicker chair in the cafe, said: Ning Weimin was crowded with people everywhere.
It was already after lunch, and not only the snacks but also the cups and dishes had been removed.
The leaders of each cooperative unit also left with their round bellies and three kilograms of raw Yuanxiao each.
Even the waiter was sent to rest by Ning Weimin.
Only Qiao Wanlin was left alone.
As a friend, he would inevitably have another cup of tea and chat with Ning Weimin.
The first thing they talked about was the new cooperation project that Ning Weimin and the two leaders of Tiantan Park mentioned just now.
Qiao Wanlin felt angry when he mentioned this.
Not for anything else, the main reason is that the garden party is too tiring, and it is really not easy to find ways to achieve consummation.
Although Qiao Wanlin has made great achievements as a result, he is sure that he will be promoted, so it is worth the effort.
But he really didn't want to be tired anymore, so he just wanted to rest for two days and enjoy the fruits of victory.
Who could have imagined that Ning Weimin would be so helpful today and arrange errands for him.
Just now, two leaders, Ning Weimin and the Temple of Heaven Garden, called him over and asked his opinion on two things: running a book market and high-end catering.
What can he say?
This is to rush the ducks to the shelves. It should not be done but it should be done.
Afterwards, of course he had to discuss this theory with Ning Weimin.
But he really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would complain about him.
"Oh, Brother Qiao, how do you know what is going on here? Do you think I am willing to let go of a good life? I am forced to go to Liangshan, and I have no choice..."
"Don't If you complain, don't fool me. Show off any difficulties you have!"
Qiao Wanlin smacked his lips and the swords, guns and sticks didn't stop at all.
"Why don't I believe what you say? You are a popular person in your company! You even drive a car, who can force you! By the way, years ago, didn't you still say that you Are you about to take over the operation of all franchised stores and become the actual head of the operations department? Isn’t the contrast between your attitude before and after too great?”
"Oh, don't mention it! Actually, that's not the case."
Ning Weimin showed a regretful expression and handed the cigarette to Qiao Wanlin.
Waiting until he lit Qiao Wanlin's cigarette with a lighter, he continued.
"Now I realize that I took it for granted! What you just said is right, you will fall if you run too fast. To tell you the truth, I can feel it now. I am just in the The moment before a big fall.”
“Think about how many people I have offended in order to accomplish these things! I have almost isolated myself in our head office. I don’t know how many people are staring at me every day, trying to find fault with me and wishing me bad luck.”
"You just watch me drive a car, just watch me hold power, that's called burning oil. If this continues, I will be cooked and turn into a crab with a red lid and put on the table and let people take off the arms and legs. . ”
“In the past, I really thought that as long as I made great contributions, I would be of use to the company. Our general manager would always support me and protect me, but I don’t think so now. I suddenly realized that no matter how important I am, I can't compare with the people in a company."
"Look at those lonely ministers in history, Wang Anshi, Yue Wumu, Yuan Chonghuan... who are there? A good ending? The greater the merit, the worse the death. I don’t want to wait for others to cut me off.”
Qiao Wenlin couldn’t help but think deeply.
“Hey, let me put it this way, this problem is indeed very serious. Your concerns are indeed justified.”
"Who told you to be so capable? Who told you to block other people's roads? Compared with you, your work performance will be bleak. If people don't hate you, who will they hate?"
"But I'm confused. Shouldn't you put your tail between your legs at this time and be a good person? Why on the other hand, do you have to do more things?"
"I think the way you are doing it now, It’s a bit contradictory to your goal! Aren’t you afraid of irritating others and accelerating the deterioration of the situation?”
Ning Weimin sighed again.
“Hey, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. I’m thinking that if the company really wants to deal with me, there will only be two situations.”
"First, I am of no use anymore. The bird is gone, and the rabbit is dead. The second is, I am still useful, but the harm caused by not having it is greater, so the company chooses the lesser of the two harms."
" So, if I don’t do anything and settle for the status quo, it’s just like seeking death. If I do something, others will be jealous, but there is still a chance of survival.
“Don’t forget, it’s me who gave birth to the garden party and the sculpture. The exhibition was a great success, and the event was even featured on "News Network". The company has no reason to kill the hero like me right away. "
"The people who are thinking about my misfortune may also think that what I am going to do next is unreliable, and they are just using this to find fault with me. This gave me a buffer of time and the ability to change things. ”
Qiao Wanlin is somewhat talented in power and he understood it immediately.
"No wonder, you do these things in such a hurry! No wonder you insist on tying the Temple of Heaven Park and our service bureau to your pirate ship. You want to use external forces like us to support you so that your company can take action. ! ”
“Once the business in Tiantan is launched, if your company wants to take you down, it must consider the losses caused and our reactions from all aspects, right?”
"After all, when the time comes, the projects we collaborate on will become everyone's business, and you, the core figure, are very important. If we take you down, you and your family won't have the final say."
Ning Weimin left. He curled his lips and glanced at Qiao Wanlin as if he was a bitch and wanted to build a memorial arch.
"Don't say it so harshly. What do you mean by being on a pirate ship? Am I, Ning Weimin, someone who treats my friends badly? Everything I do must be based on the principle of mutual benefit."
"I even dare to guarantee that even our company will benefit from what I want to do. I have a bottom line and professional ethics."
"No matter what, Our general manager, Sister Song, treats me well. She not only re-employs me, but also gives me great power and generous treatment. Even if I develop my own career in the future, my purpose is to work for the company sincerely. Just to protect myself." He took a sip of tea and continued.
“Actually, I know very well that in this world, no matter what position an individual climbs to, there will always be a force strong enough to kick you away. However, if you If you can occupy a small and crucial territory in advance, this force will at least listen to your opinions. If you have the support of some powerful friends, this force will even allow you to negotiate terms.”
"Of course I can't let myself become a character whose conditions can't be negotiated! The so-called killing of donkeys is actually stupid donkeys. The positions of those who push the mill and those who kill donkeys are not interchangeable. The key is to look at Are you smart enough?”
"And I think that the actual power of a person depends not only on his own position, but also on the network of relationships to which he belongs. Although I am not a big shot, if I can get big people to listen to me, that would be the same. I have also become a big shot. In other words, people like me who have no power can still have power indirectly by relying on face and connections."
"Then you said, I am asking you to be a foreign aid. Isn't it normal? We have a good relationship with each other and have a tacit understanding. If it were you, wouldn't you do this? No loss.”
After thinking seriously for a while, Qiao Wanlin finally made a promise.
"I understand your situation. As a friend, I will help you. Maybe I owed you something in my previous life, and I have to listen to you in this life."
But his face Then there was a flash of worry, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry.
"But I have to advise you, don't be too confident. I'm not afraid that you don't like to hear it, but what should you do if anything changes in this matter? After all, there are too many variables, and investing in high-end restaurants is not a trivial matter. . What if things don’t go as smoothly as you think and Tiantan Garden changes its mind? And if you do this, I still think it’s just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”
Ning Weimin immediately expressed his gratitude, but with a confident attitude. But nothing has changed.
“Thank you, Brother Qiao, thank you for being so willing to put yourself in my shoes. Just rest assured. "
"First of all, I'm really not worried that this won't work. Even if the Tiantan Garden withdraws and is unwilling to do it, I can still find someone else to do it. Why? Because I have minerals and treasures in me. "
"Don't forget, Pierre Carton is a foreign-funded enterprise. It is currently the only truly pure foreign company in mainland China, apart from companies invested by Hong Kong companies. Our company has attracted the attention of senior national officials. There are also preferential policies. ”
"Not to mention tax exemption for the first three years and tax reduction for the next three years, even the cars used by our company are tax-free. How much does it cost? To put it bluntly, what unit has no brains and doesn't want to buy a car? Take a seat in the car.”
“Secondly, I won’t put all my eggs in one basket. Frankly speaking, it’s just a move for me to win foreign aid. At the same time, I also plan to give more support within our company. People who care about me should also find something useful to do."
"Everyone puts profit first. You said that if everyone is busy with business, no one will care about it. Me? This is called a two-pronged approach."
"To put it another way, you wouldn't think that I would stay at Pierre Cardon for the rest of my life, right? I have no intention of getting a guaranteed job, otherwise I wouldn’t have left our hotel so happily.” My most ideal result is to stay in Pierre Carton and guard the Zhai Palace for a few years, and I will be satisfied. I will definitely be able to arrange a way out for myself..." Qiao Wanlin couldn't help but said sincerely, "Listen to your words. It's better than studying for ten years. Weimin, your way of handling this matter is really interesting. I have to admit that I will probably encounter your situation today. I am very lucky to learn from you in advance. Some experience.”
But Ning Weimin said cheerfully, "I have received awards and awards, but I don't deserve them. Friends should tell the truth and learn from each other."
"But when it comes to this, I have to remind you. . If you can do both of these things, I suggest you leave the book market to others and focus on helping me with the high-end catering."
" I can tell you why. In order to achieve success, the book market must rely on customer flow. It takes a long time to grow in scale, and the risks are high. What's more, you are the organizer of the first garden party, and you already have the qualifications and achievements. . It is a duty to do well in the book market, and it is a mistake to do it poorly. It is better to give it to others as a favor. "On the other hand, the high-end catering in the palace is aimed at foreigners' pockets." I am very confident to create high profits. That is all foreign exchange, which is naturally a credit to you. Not to mention it is convenient for us to eat and drink ourselves..."
< br>…………
An hour later, Qiao Wanlin left very satisfied.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he felt more and more that Ning Weimin was a good friend.
Because this friend is not only humorous and generous, but also a knowledgeable and capable person.
Whether it is private or public, it can benefit him a lot.
It is precisely because of this friend that his future seems to be getting brighter and brighter.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Ning Weimin.
Because in his opinion, it was an extremely wrong choice for Ning Weimin not to pursue an official career.
He didn't believe how good the escape route Ning Weimin had arranged for him would be.
According to his imagination, when the time comes, Ning Weimin will just find another foreign-funded company to work for.
Where can I compare to those who truly hold power?
So we have to say that people are all limited.
Many times people’s confident judgments are actually just self-righteous ignorance.
A similar example to Qiao Wanlin's was that after he left, two girls from the Zhai Palace brought coins to Ning Weimin and also came to pay the bills.
They also didn’t understand why Ning Weimin was so happy when he saw the coins they sent.
After closing the door, the two of them were still wondering as they walked.
"Hey, what happened to Manager Ning? Are those coins we selected special?"
"I don't know. Anyway, Manager Ning asked us to choose according to the year he gave us, so let's just choose. . It’s weird, isn’t it?”
“No, I’ve been exhausted these two days. We all have to pick up the coins every day. Thousands of dollars worth of coins. Hey, I feel dizzy when I look at the steel coins. Do you think the coins we picked out contain platinum? "
"Stop it, you're talking about special coins? It's a rumor, and the country has already refuted it. What's more, how much is it worth? Don't forget, how much does Manager Ning earn per month? Do people need to bother with this?”
“That’s right...”
There is no way, the truth of the matter only exists in Ning Weimin's heart, and absolutely no one will know it these days.
In fact, the answer is quite simple. For Ning Weimin, business is everywhere, and there are things to pick up everywhere.
He asked his girls to choose the "Five Heavenly Kings" and "Four Little Dragons" in the coins.
That is nothing more than a bargaining chip for him to engage in his old profession in the future.
Completely different from what Qiao Wanlin thought, these things are his real escape route for Ning Weimin.
