Chapter 589: Demonstrating Divinity in Public
This is probably the daily life of a well-known private entrepreneur in a county town called Liang Chuifeng. In a specific area, if your business is big enough, it means you have fame and connections, and then those who depend on you will seek your help and protection.
It is almost equivalent to forming a circle with Liang Chuifeng as the core.
The county town is indeed not a big place. Unlike the coastal areas, the north does not have such fairy-like county-level cities as Kunshan and Yiwu. Compared with the south, this place does seem a bit depressed.
But those who can make a name for themselves in the county are definitely not simple people. The power they can demonstrate in the local area is sometimes terrifyingly great.
Liang Fei still remembered that in his previous life, he chose to take the examination for selected candidates after graduation and stay in Minghai to develop. Liang Chuifeng even made a special trip to Minghai to have an in-depth chat with him.
Liang Chuifeng and Xu Ruting originally hoped that Liang Fei could return to her hometown to develop. They were businessmen and knew that animal husbandry was hard and tiring, and they did not expect Liang Fei to take over. So when Liang Fei chose to take the examination for selected students, the couple supported it.
At that time, Liang Chuifeng also told Liang Fei frankly that if Liang Fei returned to his hometown to work, as long as Liang Fei could pass the examination, no matter what the position was, Old Liang would find a way to send Liang Fei to the city, and it would definitely not be a problem for him to get a position in a few years.
In the local area, Liang Chuifeng has this ability.
After seeing off a group of friends, Liang Chuifeng packed up the tea set and asked Liang Fei's distant cousin: "Alin, have you arranged the dinner tonight?"
Liang Fei's distant cousin was named He Lin. She nodded and replied, "Everything has been arranged. We are at the best Hanhai Hotel in the city, and the company has also been arranged."
"good."
Liang Chuifeng said to He Lin, "You can also attend the dinner in the evening. When the deal is done, you will need to coordinate many things. Mr. Zhang will also bring the relevant persons in charge to dinner. You can just take it as a chance to get familiar with the people at work in advance."
He Lin is now in charge of sales channels and uses computers quite a lot. Liang Chuifeng trusts her more in this aspect of the work.
Liang Fei asked, "Dad, what kind of business partner is so important? The county hotel is not enough, so we have to go to the city?"
Liang Chuifeng was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He answered the call first, stood in front of the window, lit a cigarette, and talked on the phone while watering the flowers and plants.
Seeing this, distant cousin He Lin smiled and explained, "Uncle is trying to negotiate a cold chain transportation deal recently. The other party is very strong. If the deal goes through, the meat from the ranch can be shipped to the whole country smoothly. They even have airplanes."
After listening to this, Liang Fei said he understood.
He Lin smiled and changed the subject, asking, "Xiao Fei, you have such a successful career now, why don't you have a girlfriend? Is it because you have too high standards and don't like ordinary girls?"
"Of course not. Most girls are not qualified to get within ten meters of me. They would have been blocked by my bodyguards long ago."
No one knows anyway, so Liang Fei simply boasted: "Sister, sometimes think about how big your career should be. It would be great to be like my dad. He is very respected in the county and can help people find jobs with just one phone call. It's a stable job. I am not like that. I can only arrange for people to work in private companies like Penguin Technology and Mihoyo. There is always the risk of being optimized. Oh, it's really troublesome."
He Lin blinked and said, "Last time at the Penguin Charity Night, I saw you taking a photo with Reba. She was holding your hand."
"Oh, when you mention this, I'm afraid of getting into a scandal."
"You're not in a relationship with Reba, are you?"
"Speaking of this, speaking of this, I usually don't reply to her WeChat messages. I only reply with an emoticon when I'm in a good mood."
“Wow!!”
Ah, so cool.
Liang Fei finally understood why Brother Dong liked to return home in glory. When he went there later, all the big leaders in the city would come to meet him and walk . He wanted Brother Dong to help his hometown.
This feeling is so cool.
Liang Chuifeng hung up the phone, turned to look at Liang Fei, and asked curiously: "Who is Reba? Are you reaching out to the entertainment industry to find a star?"
Liang Fei's face changed and he immediately denied it: "No."
Liang Chuifeng glared and said, "You said no, then no, you don't have any credibility here anymore. You haven't learned anything else, but you are good at eating, drinking and having fun."
Seeing that the father was about to teach his son a lesson, He Lin left with a smile and closed the door.
Lao Liang stared at Xiao Liang, then sat down slowly and asked, "Recently, uh, which girl have you been close to? Have you cut off the relationship with the others?"
Liang Fei explained: "They and I are actually just good friends of the opposite sex."
Lao Liang is a rough man. He has not learned anything good from following Xu Ruting for so many years. Besides, he deals with all kinds of people in his daily work. He can't survive in the county without being ruthless and tough.
Hearing Liang Fei say this, Liang Chuifeng sneered: "Didn't you play on the bed ?"
Liang Fei replied righteously: "Dad, this is my privacy, and I don't think this is the conversation that a father and son should have. I choose not to answer."
Liang Chuifeng shook his head and said, "Do I need you to give me a direct answer? You are almost guilty."
After saying that, Liang Chuifeng took a puff of cigarette, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at Liang Fei and said slowly: "Don't let your mother know."
Liang Fei was a little surprised: "Dad?"
Liang Chuifeng waved his hand and sighed, "I am also a man. As the saying goes, flowers are so beautiful that they dazzle the eyes. Big cities are full of temptations. You are indeed capable. It is normal for girls to like you. It is also normal for you to lose control. But you must grasp the scale and don't hurt the girls' hearts."
Liang Fei suddenly felt that the relationship between father and son had been elevated. In the old Liang family, there was finally someone who understood him: "Dear father, I will go to block the wine for you tonight!"
Liang Chuifeng laughed loudly: "Okay, I've worked hard all my life, so I might as well enjoy myself. How about this, you take charge of the situation tonight, and let me see to what extent the big city has honed my son. Do you have the courage to take this job?"
"Just take a look." Liang Fei patted his chest and assured.
Liang Chuifeng briefly introduced the person he was going to host for dinner tonight. He was a boss who specialized in cold chain transportation and had a transportation network across the country. He could not compare with those giant logistics companies, but because of his expertise, the services he provided were particularly popular, especially for fresh food merchants, who all wanted to cooperate with him.
"That's about all we have to say, but this guy is a bit vulgar and a bit arrogant. Anyway, he's not easy to serve."
Liang Chuifeng crossed his arms and said to Liang Fei, "If I wasn't in a hurry to make my name famous and take over the market, I wouldn't bother to serve this man."
Liang Fei nodded. This is how the real industry is. In fact, the competition is fierce. No matter who does the business, as long as a certain standard is met in the market, it all ends up being the same. That’s why sometimes you need to ask others for help.
The same applies to engineering projects. Otherwise, why are there so many industry rules? Getting rebates is the most normal thing to do. It is the same no matter who you work for. The quality standards are here. Anyone who wants to make a living in this field for a long time will not cheat on the core standards. After that, it depends on how much you pay respect to the client.
Money and relationships are both essential.
One relatively good thing about the Internet is that as long as you are the first to develop the product and grab the market in advance, as long as you continue to follow up on the user experience and keep updating, you can maintain long-term effective income.
At about three or four o'clock, Liang Chuifeng led Liang Fei, He Lin, and the heads of various lines in the factory to the city and waited in the private room of the Hanhai Hotel in advance.
Liang Fei stood up and took a look at the menu first. It was very reasonable and of the highest standard in the hotel. The drink was also Maotai.
Back in the box, Liang Fei glanced at He Lin, who was pretty and had put on light makeup for the social event, and said, "Sister, I'll sit next to you tonight."
He Lin smiled and said, "What's the matter? Protect your sister?"
Liang Fei smiled and waved her hands, and asked, "Sister, do you attend many dinners like this?"
“First time.”
He Lin said, "Because the cold chain boss's headquarters is in the south, and our city is the only decentralized point, I will be responsible for the daily connection when the business is discussed, so Uncle Liang brought me here."
Liang Fei nodded slightly.
Comrade Lao Liang has been in the underworld for so many years and is very famous in the county and city. One thing about him is that he is very upright and it is not his place to ask his niece from far away to drink with him. It is indeed for work.
At business gatherings, unless there is a female boss, drinking parties are just for the fun.
At half past five, the guests arrived very punctually. Mr. Zhang was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or less than fifty. He was not tall, stocky and dark, and he led three subordinates.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming. Please come in."
Liang Chuifeng came forward with a hearty smile, shook hands with Mr. Zhang, and said with a smile: "I hope you will forgive me if I am not a good host tonight."
Mr. Zhang also politely waved his hand: "No, the specifications are sufficient. Thank you, Mr. Liang. It is obviously me who came to attract business, and you have to pay for it."
"Look at what Mr. Zhang said. We are all brothers. Isn't this too formal?"
Liang Chuifeng asked everyone to sit down and introduced them one by one: "Mr. Zhang, this is my son, Liang Fei, who has been studying and working in Minghai."
Mr. Zhang looked up at Liang Fei and praised him with a smile, "Wow, this guy is so handsome. Does he have a girlfriend? Hey, Mr. Liang, my daughter is still single. When can we find a chance to bring the two young people together?"
Liang Chuifeng heard this and laughed, "It depends on fate. It depends on fate. Let's drink happily today."
He Lin came close to Liang Fei and whispered, "Boss Zhang's daughter is already in her thirties, and she looks exactly like Boss Zhang."
As he was talking, Liang Chuifeng introduced He Lin: "Boss Zhang, this is Xiao He from our company, my niece. If we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, she will be responsible for daily work connection."
When the short, stout old Zhang saw He Lin's appearance, his eyes immediately lit up and he laughed, "Boss Liang, everyone in your family looks so good. I feel a little ashamed of myself."
"Ah, a man just needs to have a face. Which true hero conquers the world without relying on his fists?"
Seeing that Mr. Zhang seemed to want He Lin to sit next to him, Liang Fei immediately picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhang, I'm the youngest here. Before we clink glasses together, I'd like to toast you on behalf of my father."
When Mr. Zhang saw Liang Fei sitting between him and He Lin, he raised his glass with a smile and said, "Okay, a good father will have a good son. Let's have a drink."
Then it was a normal opening. After everyone at the table drank two bottles of Moutai, the atmosphere, which was a little cold at first, gradually became warmer. During the meal, He Lin took the initiative to offer a glass of wine.
Old Zhang's squinting eyes never left He Lin, but he was the kind of person who had the will but not the guts to do it, and he asked vaguely, "Xiao Liang, what's your cousin's name?"
Liang Fei smiled and said, "He Lin, my sister is very honest, she doesn't know anything, and she doesn't know a direction all day long. She is so active for no reason."
Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Such a pretty cousin, and she is proactive. Xiao Liang, are you showing off to me? Okay, I won't say any more. Let me have a toast to you, uncle."
Liang Fei happily drank a glass of wine: "Boss Zhang, I feel inferior when I see your happy life, how dare I show off."
Old Zhang continued to look at He Lin with a smile: "Come on, little girl, your bosses Liang and Liang both protect you and don't let you drink too much, but can a career-oriented woman grow if she is always protected? Come on, have a drink, let's put business aside first, we have to be friends first."
He Lin was a little reluctant. Liang Fei signaled a vice president to hide the bottles of Moutai liquor that had been deposited. He then stepped forward and said, "Boss Zhang, we don't have much to do tonight anyway. Why don't we spend all our time at the wine table? Why don't you feel the generosity and enthusiasm of our northern land?"
Mr. Zhang glanced at Liang Fei indifferently. He felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. When did it become the turn of a young boy to take charge of the table? But when he looked at Liang Chuifeng again, he had already called the waiter to pay the bill and said to the driver in public: "Xiao Zheng, you are responsible for sending your little sister He home safely. After that, come back and wait for orders."
"Okay, Mr. Liang."
Xiao Zheng is also a relative of the Liang family. According to seniority, He Lin has to call him brother. Seeing the little beauty leave, Mr. Zhang suddenly felt that it was meaningless.
Liang Fei sent He Lin to the car. The slightly tipsy He Lin patted Liang Fei on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you are really amazing now. You are going to that kind of place later, right? I want to follow you and see the long legs."
"Go back to sleep, sister." Liang Fei threw two packs of cigarettes to Xiao Zheng, "Brother Zheng, you've worked hard tonight."
"It's so strange for a family to say such things."
Xiao Zheng took the cigarette and put it on the passenger seat, smiling, "Xiao Fei, you were really good tonight. Everyone can see that Mr. Zhang just wanted to get Linlin drunk. You don't even need to blush. The problem is solved."
Liang Fei smiled and said, "It's the same even if my dad shows up. How can our relatives be bullied right under our noses?"
He Lin nodded: "That's why it's good to work with your family!"
Liang Fei returned to the box and immediately said, "Boss Zhang, we can set off now."
"How about that?" Lao Zhang waved his hand, "That's all for tonight."
"No, Uncle Zhang, I've already arranged the place." Liang Fei said with a smile, "It's only a few hours now, I was thinking of inviting you to soak your feet after singing, our bathhouse has a lot of options."
As they spoke, a group of people started to shout, and Lao Zhang reluctantly said, "Okay, okay, I will risk my life to accompany you."
The group came to the second show in a mighty procession. As soon as they sat down, the business manager led a dozen girls in dresses in. Lao Zhang was now reserved, looking as if he had suppressed his human desires. When he was asked to choose first, he lowered his head and played with his phone: "I don't mind. Anything is fine."
The old thief's green eyes were fixed on the row of beautiful women's bare thighs. It was a sea of white, and the visual effect was maximized, dazzling. This thing depends on quantity. If you drink some wine and look at them drunkenly, every one of them is a beauty.
Seeing this, Liang Fei picked up the microphone and shouted at the girls: "Who among you has the last name Zhang? Stand up."
The two girls looked at each other and took a step forward.
Liang Fei added: "Those whose names contain the word 'Lin', or whose stage names contain the word 'Lin', come out."
Another girl stood up.
Liang Fei patted the sofa and pointed: "Take good care of this big brother tonight. If you do well, the tip will be doubled."
When Lao Zhang saw and heard this, he immediately sat up straight: "Hey Xiao Liang, what are you doing? Why do you need so many people? Hey, no, no, no, oh, this is a big deal."
As he spoke, his hand had already placed on the thigh of the little sister next to him.
Liang Fei sat down with a glass of wine in hand, and laughed, "Boss Zhang, I'll find two relatives for you. You like girls with the word "Lin" in their names, so this is also possible. I would like to make a bold guess that when our Boss Zhang was young and working hard, there would not be a girl named Lin accompanying you. You see, this is a continuation of the old relationship."
Mr. Zhang, who was being complimented by three pretty girls, burst into laughter after hearing Liang Fei's words and gave Liang Chuifeng a thumbs up: "Mr. Liang, your son is amazing. A good father will have a good son. The son is better than his father!"
After saying that, Mr. Zhang looked at Liang Fei and nodded frequently: "Mr. Liang, you are the most fun-loving young person I have ever met. People from Minghai are different. Big cities make people better!"
Holding the little sister in their arms, everyone in the box first raised their glasses and drank together, then they either sang or played games. However, everyone had just finished the previous game and had to take a break. The girls who were on duty began to toast the guests one by one.
Mr. Zhang's younger sister stood up to toast Liang Chuifeng, and Mr. Zhang finally had some free time. He lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Fei, and asked, "Xiao Liang, you are quite capable. What big business are you doing in Minghai?"
Liang Fei smiled and said, "I opened a small company to do Internet business."
"The Internet is indeed the most suitable job for you young people right now. Starting a company?" Mr. Zhang said with a smile, "How many people do you have under you?"
"Less than a thousand."
"Why are you pretending? Just tell me a few?"
"Nine hundred and ninety-six."
“…”
Mr. Zhang looked at Liang Fei in astonishment, then laughed and said to Liang Chuifeng, "Mr. Liang, your son is really humorous. Let me ask you, what is the name of your company?"
"Lightyear Technology."
"Light what?"
"Light Year Technology!!"
The young girl sitting next to Mr. Zhang looked at Liang Fei carefully under the dim light. She was fascinated by his handsomeness, but suddenly she woke up, took out her mobile phone that had not been taken away, and kept pointing her hand at Liang Fei.
"Light Year Technology, Liang, Liang Fei!!" The little sister was almost speechless, "I saw it, I saw it, it's really you!"
“TikTok is his, and Banana Live is his too!!”
"And more and more!" the little sister shouted excitedly, "He is also the senior executive vice president of Penguin Technology!!"
"He's only twenty-four!"
Liang Fei's mouth corners slightly raised, Oh, I met a fan.
