Chapter 3035
Although Tan Tianming is young, he is not an ignorant country rich man. He was not intimidated by Huo Dechuan's rhetoric. He immediately asked: "Remember, Brother Huo just claimed to be a businessman, but he didn't know what kind of business he was running." Business? ”
The implication is to question Huo Dezhuan. If he was a serious businessman, how could he have so many crooked relationships.
Huo Dechuan also understood the implication of Tan Tianming, and immediately explained: "To be honest, brother Tan, the business I do is to help people solve their problems and deal with all kinds of troubles."
Tan Tianming nodded and said, "Does that mean he specializes in dirty work?"
Huo Dechuan denied: "I'm just a matchmaker, giving ideas for customers, there are other people doing the work. Besides, many things don't have to go that far. As long as the necessary relationships are cleared, the problem can be solved."< br>
At this point in the conversation, Tan Tianming actually understood what Huo Dechuan was doing.
This is actually a kind of broker with a special nature. It is different from the middlemen in shopping malls. His business is more conducted in the gray area outside of regulatory supervision, and he specializes in solving difficult problems for people. Of course, the corresponding costs will definitely be much higher than solving the problem through normal channels.
Tan Tianming is actually no stranger to this industry. Growing up, he has seen many people from all walks of life come to visit his father, and many of them are colleagues of Huo Dechuan.
Of course, the business these people are doing is probably much higher than what Huo Dechuan is doing. Among them, there are many people who have brokered connections for foreign dignitaries, seeking the official dispatch of foreign mercenary groups from Sing Tao to use real force to solve the problem.
In comparison, Huo Dechuan's idea just now was really just a small fight among the people.
However, Tan Tianming has not been in Sanya for too long, and he happens to lack the connections in this area. If Huo Dechuan is really capable, he can use it.
Since they were talking about business, Tan Tianming was not as polite as before: "Brother Huo, if we do what you said before and let the Express publish an article to clarify Fu Qiqiang's distorted comments about Xingdao, how long will it take to do it? How much will it cost? ”
Pastor Hodder said: "If everything goes well, it can be completed before the next issue of the Express is released. However, the cost may be relatively high... I estimate that it will cost at least 5,000 yuan!"
When Tan Tianming heard this amount, his expression did not change: "I can pay this money, but how can I trust you? Let me tell you first, there will be no such thing as written evidence."
Huo Dechuan had already prepared for this: "Brother Tan and I hit it off as soon as we met. There is no need to sign a document, and the money does not need to be paid in full. You can pay 10% first as a deposit. The remaining money will be paid after the matter is completed." If Brother Tan doesn’t feel comfortable paying the deposit, then there’s no need to negotiate this deal.”
Tan Tianming nodded and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't admit it afterwards?"
Huo Dechuan said with a smile: "Brother Tan, in my business, you have to trust each other, otherwise nothing can be done. If you really don't accept this account, it only means that I was blind and saw the wrong person."< br>
Tan Tianming also smiled and said: "Then how can I contact you?"
Huo Dechuan took out a card and handed it to Tan Tianming: "This address is my shop. I am there every morning."
Tan Tianming saw that he was very proficient in this process, so he immediately took out his wallet and counted five hundred, paid it to Huo Dechuan, and finally said: "I often come here to drink tea. If you have any new news, you can give me here I'll leave a message." Both of them had clear intentions and concluded the deal in a matter of seconds.
For Tan Tianming, if five thousand can handle the matter, the price/performance ratio is actually pretty good. In addition to studying abroad, his purpose in coming to Sanya is also to undertake the mission of promoting the Xingdao region.
Tan Tianming naturally wanted to find a way to solve an article like this that was published in the Express that was insulting to Xingdao's reputation, but he had no channels for this and could only use the help of others to resolve it.
What really worries him is not how much money it will cost to solve the problem, but the fear that he won't be able to find a way out even if he spends money. Even if Huo Dechuan couldn't handle the matter, Tan Tianming would only lose five hundred at most.
And Huo Dechuan's abacus was even more precise. He had such connections himself, so handling the matter didn't need to be as complicated as what he introduced to Tan Tianming. At least half of the five thousand yuan could be put into his pocket, which was enough for him. A whole year’s worth of food and clothing.
Huo Dechuan was originally waiting for others in the Jingsi Pavilion, but after taking over this big deal, of course he couldn't just sit around anymore. He immediately said goodbye and went out, seizing the time to run Tan Tianming's errands to avoid long nights and dreams.
After exiting the teahouse, walk north along Victory Avenue to Victory Square, and you will see the Sanya Express newspaper office located on the west side of the square.
Kuaibao newspaper originally rented a two-story building in the port area as its office space. A few years ago, the residential area on the west side of Victory Square was demolished and turned into commercial land for public sale. The newspaper took the opportunity to move from the port area to this area. The core area finally has a decent facade.
Of course, the purchase of land and the construction of a four-story office building also cost the newspaper company a lot of blood. This also led to the expansion of Sanya Express into two pages, dedicated to publishing various advertisements.
Huo Dechuan entered the newspaper office building with ease, and then went straight to the editor-in-chief's office. Seeing that the door was wide open, he first stood at the door and looked inside, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The old man sitting behind the desk raised his head, pushed down his reading glasses, glanced at the door and said: "It's Xiao Huo, why do you, a busy man, have time to come here today!"
With a smile on his face, Huo Dechuan quickly walked into the office and handed the gift he just bought on the way to the table: "Editor-in-Chief Xu, I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I was afraid that you would be too busy and have no time to meet with people. . This is a freshly baked pastry from Guan Sheng Yuan, please accept it!”
Editor-in-chief Xu didn't have much enthusiasm for Huo De because of this gift. He just pointed to the chair opposite and said: "You always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you have anything to do, sit down and talk!"
Huo Dechuan sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "You still understand me. I really have something to ask you for help when I come here today."
When Huo Dechuan was talking to Tan Tianming in the teahouse, there was one thing he did not reveal to Tan Tianming, that is, he had worked at the Kuaibao newspaper for a period of time. Of course, if he paid this price, it might not be so easy for him to ask Tan Tianming for a price.
Most of the people in the newspaper office were known to Huo Dechuan, so he had the confidence to solve the matter for Tan Tianming. He believed that he had some friendship with editor-in-chief Xu Zhengrong in the past, so he prepared to come to ask for a favor in person and get the matter settled as soon as possible.
