73. Iron buddies
Last winter, when Zhao Jie, general manager of the foreign trade company, came to Jiangshan Machinery Factory with the aluminum pulley sample, Liu Wancheng had known that this thing could not be done, but he still managed to get in touch with Mr. Zhao.
Under the banner of finding out whether he could get other jobs from a foreign trade company, Liu Wancheng went to the factory guesthouse to meet Mr. Zhao and invited the other party and his party to the banquet.
I knew that things would not be done, including the general factory, many branches and units, have begun to neglect foreign trade companies and will not show up again.
It was at this moment that Liu Wancheng warmly received Mr. Zhao and his party. During the meal, Liu Wancheng did not mention what he wanted to do to Mr. Zhao. He just talked about his personal feelings from all over the world and asked Mr. Zhao for advice.
The so-called "Pines and cypresses in the cold year, and true feelings are revealed in the troubles. Liu Wancheng's visit to help others in time left a deep impression on Mr. Zhao. In his heart, Liu Wancheng is the most loyal cadre in Jiangshan Machinery Factory.
Then, whenever Liu Wancheng went to the city to do business, he would visit Mr. Zhao whenever he had the opportunity, and even went to some high-end entertainment venues.
At that time, a popular saying: Eating and drinking together is friends with wine and meat, and being friends with gambling together is friends with good friends. Liu Wancheng and Mr. Zhao are more than 10 years apart, but they have become "iron buddies".
In private, General Zhao called Liu Wancheng "Little Brother" and Liu Wancheng called General Zhao "Brother".
Especially Liu Wancheng, who often has "iron buddy" with him, but has no desire for him. In Liu Wancheng's words, the two of them are just about temper. When they are with "bride", they are good at doing what "iron buddy" does, so don't worry.
In fact, he just wanted to make Mr. Zhao happy and become his "iron buddy". When Mr. Zhao and the girl went to do a serious business, he just waited for him outside. It seemed like he had finished it earlier, but in fact he didn't go in at all.
In this era, some people can go with the flow, while others cannot pass the psychological level no matter what. Liu Wancheng belongs to the latter.
He felt that having no feelings for a stranger and having nothing to do with that is completely for that is a very dirty thing, which would destroy the pure love he has now.
I have had this experience together many times, and Mr. Zhao treated Liu Wancheng as a good friend in private.
Of course, Liu Wancheng did this for today, which he had planned long ago.
When Mr. Zhao came out, Liu Wancheng was still angry. Seeing him, Zhao Jie was very surprised. His little brother hadn't shown up for more than half a year. He was wondering, was this kid transferred?
He ran over in three steps and grabbed Liu Wancheng's hand: "Oh, Wancheng! Where did you go? I was about to take time to find you at Jiangshan Machinery Factory!"
Liu Wancheng said sarcastically: "Mr. Zhao's threshold is high, I asked your subordinates to bomb it out."
Mr. Zhao pretended to be angry and looked at several people in the office and asked, "Who is this? Who is so bold? This is Director Liu from Jiangshan Machinery Factory. He used to come to contact business often, and it was our collaborative unit. Don't you know each other?"
Liu Wancheng then took advantage of the situation and said, "It's not their fault. I've been doing well recently. I'm sorry to come to see my brother. It's normal for them not to know each other."
Mr. Zhao asked in surprise: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Wancheng sighed and said, "Oh, it's hard to say!" Then he asked, "Mr. Zhao has no official duties tonight, right? I want to talk to Mr. Zhao, are you willing to appreciate the past?"
Zhao Jie interrupted him and said, "Let's talk in the room, and the talk in the room." He pulled Liu Wancheng into his office.
After entering Zhao Jie's office, Zhao Jie said to Liu Wancheng: "Can't you see that everyone outside me has changed? Now that the anti-corruption campaign is powerful, you must not keep the outsiders from talking about food in the future."
Liu Wancheng nodded: "It should have been a rebellion long ago, and we have to cure you who are wasting your country's salary!"
Zhao Jie glared and cursed: "I said, you kid are here to make things difficult for me, right?"
Liu Wancheng laughed: "You are just a joke with me. Who doesn't know that you are honest and dedicated to your public?"
Zhao Jie was still unhappy: "I said you are praising me or scolding me? Why do I sound so awkward?"
Liu Wancheng waved his hand: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. Let's talk about the serious business, go tonight and don't take anyone else."
Zhao Jie laughed and waved his hand and said, "You go first, it's better to book a table in Haoting. But I'll spend money tonight."
Liu Wancheng didn't argue. The fact that the two of them could speak without any scruples means that their relationship was still there. As for whoever spent money, we can't listen to Zhao Jie.
Liu Wancheng left Zhao Jie's office, walked to the clerk who was about to drive him out just now, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, remember my face, I won't be so easy to talk to next time!"
The clerk didn't dare to speak out. Nowadays, foreign trade companies are not government agencies, and there are not many employees. Ordinary clerks like this have no staff at all and are temporary workers. The boss said in one sentence, and he would not use it if he didn't want it.
Liu Wancheng deliberately became so arrogant, but in fact he was to show the people in the entire office that he had nothing to do with Zhao Jie. If he came to do business in the future, no one would dare to make things difficult for him. He would go to Zhao Jie without any big deal.
Haoting is the earliest hotel in the city run by southerners. The downstairs hall replicates the scenery of Jiangnan gardens. The pavilions, towers, small bridges and flowing water, and various southern trees are mixed together, making people feel like they are in the gardens of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
On the open space hidden by the garden, there are many exquisite tables and chairs, which are the place for guests to eat. There are also some retro rooms around the garden.
Liu Wancheng did not ask for a room, but instead asked a smaller antique stone table in the garden and asked the waiter to bring two Taishi chairs with felt pads.
It’s not that he feels sorry for the room fee, but because he enters the room, he can’t see the garden scenery outside. It’s better to be casual outside.
The distance between the tables outside is quite far, and they are hidden in artificially planted trees, so there is no need to worry about being heard by the next table.
Zhao Jie didn't dare to come over until it got dark. The two of them greeted each other, sat down, and asked the waiter to serve the food.
Northerners are not used to eating pure southern dishes, so the dishes are mainly northern dishes. Even if there are southern special dishes, they lack sweet and spicy elements, and the taste is closer to northern dishes, but they still look like southern dishes.
From this point of view, the hotel owner's shrewdness can also be seen.
What Liu Wancheng wanted was the special dishes of this hotel, which were very exquisite. Two people ate them, four dishes and one soup was enough. It was not the first time he and Zhao Jie came, and he knew Zhao Jie's preferences. Therefore, before Zhao Jie came, he ordered the wine and food. Zhao Jie came over and served immediately.
The two of them sat in the green trees and drank wine. Liu Wancheng made up a tragic drama about how he had a conflict with Liu Yong, how Liu Yong came back and took revenge on him wildly. He really couldn't do it, so he had to resign and open a small factory and tell Zhao Jie.
A middle-level cadre in a second-level enterprise was forced to resign. Even Zhao Jie was moved by this story and was indignant. He wanted to find the opportunity to find relevant leaders in the city to stand up for Liu Wancheng.
Liu Wancheng said, "Forget it, brother, I have resigned. Besides, I am also open-minded. I am doing my own freedom and no one can control me. I don't have to be so angry anymore. I'm here to get some small work from me and ask me for help."
Zhao Jie was very happy this time, and the story made by Liu Wancheng worked. He really felt a little pitiful from the bottom of his heart. He really wanted to help him. He said, "I have exported products here, and there are many varieties. Brother, you can choose whatever you can do. As long as you can do it, you can take it back and do it. It doesn't matter if you can't do it in batches. I will entrust the rest to others."
Liu Wancheng wanted this sentence, and bowed on the table and said, "I'm here to thank me."
Zhao Jie waved his hand and said, "We brothers, there is no need to say these polite words. You're welcome to tell you that if someone else does it, I will draw a very high member. If you do it, I will not charge anything except the service fee."
After thinking about it, I said again: "But brother, I have to remind you in advance that export products require high quality and heavy fines are imposed if they have quality accidents. Generally, small factories dare not accept foreign trade orders, and we dare not give them. Even if they give them, the company must go to the factory to investigate processing capabilities. Only after passing the qualifications dare to entrust them. Are you okay?"
Liu Wancheng looked for Zhao Jie because he was afraid that the foreign trade company would investigate. He saw that he only had one equipment and obviously had poor processing capabilities. He suspected that he was speculating on orders.
Liu Wancheng said: "I'm just here to beg you brother, so you can beg you. Don't arrange for someone to check me anymore. As long as the product I handed you through, isn't that enough?"
Zhao Jie also understood Liu Wancheng's difficulty. He didn't have much money in his hand and just started working, so the scale of the factory would definitely not meet the requirements of the foreign trade company.
He said seriously: "Brother, I can help you, I have nothing to say. It's okay not to check this, but the quality of the product is not easy to handle. If you arrive at the other party's port and the other party's random inspection happens to get you unqualified. This batch of products will be returned and claimed compensation. We can't afford the losses."
Liu Wancheng smiled and said, "Brother, look at what you said. I just beg you to do some work. Who am I? Can I cause trouble for my brother? Then I dare not come to beg you. Don't worry, you can find the strictest inspector to check the work I handed over. If there is any unqualified person, I promise not to ask you in the future."
Zhao Jie nodded. With his words, he couldn't say anything. Liu Wancheng knew that he was always keeping his word. His guess was that Liu Wancheng could not afford any equipment, so he just bought a company and wanted to trade orders. But Liu Wancheng has always been loyal to him. If he wants to trade, he would trade it. He tried to raise the price for him as much as possible so that he could earn more.
Thinking of this, he said, "That's it. Tomorrow you go to Manager Sun. All samples of our company's machine-added products are there. You can do whatever you like. As long as the job you hand over is qualified, you don't have to worry about the money. I notify the finance department and I will collect one batch for you, unlike others, who will squeeze one batch or two batches of goods."
Liu Wancheng said, "Then I will thank my brother." Then he said, "Brother, I want to do that pulley."
"What?" Zhao Jie was shocked, "Brother, have you drunk too much? There is nothing we can do in the north. I have entrusted it to the south. The shipping fee can't be made in terms of how much money. If it weren't for a long-term contract, I wouldn't want to do it anymore. I said, you can't make any profit by making this."
Liu Wancheng smiled and said, "Brother, do you think I'm cooking orders? I don't cook orders, I'll do it myself."
Zhao Jie opened his eyes and looked at him: "You did it yourself? All the factories of your Jiangshan Machinery Factory have seen that thing, and none of them dared to answer it. What should you do?"
