Chapter 63 Past Eve
"Gu Jie, it's your turn next."
Song Yuanchao cast his eyes on Gu Jie who had been waiting for a long time: "Your main task is to do a good job of connection and communication between the two sides. Just like what Zhengguo said in the factory today, as someone on Zhengguo's side, you must maintain communication with the factory, discover problems in a timely manner, and provide feedback and solve them in a timely manner."
"I will keep an eye on the production in the workshop, and Daqi will also keep an eye on it, but you still have to keep an eye on it. Do you know why?"
Song Yuanchao specifically asked this question. Gu Jie thought about it and asked tentatively: "We are family, but we cannot let others see that we are a family in the factory, so my role is indispensable. Only if I keep an eye on it, will the factory pay attention and reduce some unnecessary troubles?"
Song Yuanchao smiled in appreciation. Although Gu Jie was not as daring and business-savvy as Li Daqi, nor as smart and eloquent as Qin Zhengguo, Gu Jie had his own strengths, which was that he could keep calm, be calm, and be serious and responsible in his work, so it was most appropriate to put him in this position.
"That's right!" Song Yuanchao nodded and said, "Remember, when you find a problem, you must be tough and don't give in to your principles! You have to think of yourself as someone who goes to buy something. Since you paid for a defective product, are you going to swallow your anger? If you think there is a problem, you should say it, and you should curse when you need to. You must do this even if you have to face me at that time!"
"I see. Isn't it just one person playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop? Brother Song, I understand what you mean." Although Gu Jie's brain works slowly, he is not stupid. He naturally understood what Song Yuanchao said and nodded with a smile.
"The last one is Zhengguo." After arranging Li Daqi and Gu Jie, Song Yuanchao finally said Qin Zhengguo: "Zhengguo, your task is the most important. Today, No. 2 Middle School agreed to help us recommend it to other schools. This is an excellent opportunity, so you must come forward to do this job. How to fool the other party and make them pay for it depends on your ability!"
Qin Zhengguo seemed to have known that Song Yuanchao would give this task to him, and he immediately patted his chest to tell Song Yuanchao not to worry, and that this matter would be done properly.
"In addition to these arrangements, we can't just rely on one tree. We still have to do what we should do with the external channels, just like what Daqi and Gu Jie mentioned yesterday. In addition, Daqi and Gu Jie, when the official sales start, you should contact those people who made the hangers with us before. They have nothing to do these days, so it's a good opportunity to ask them to help us sell the clothes. No matter how many we can sell, we'll sell them as much as we can."
"That's fine, but how do you calculate the money? Should we pay first and get the goods, or should we get the goods first and sell them and then settle?" Li Daqi asked.
"Give them ten copies each at the wholesale price. If they want more in the future, we can talk later." Song Yuanchao set the tone. These people had some money in their hands from selling clothes hangers before, so there was no need to worry that they would not have money to buy the goods. Besides, the other party might not cherish the goods if they were given for free. Instead, they would pay attention to them only if they had to pay for them. This was human nature.
Besides, getting them involved is also giving them a chance to make money. If they do a good job, the profit will be no less than making clothes hangers. Song Yuanchao is helping them.
Seeing that everyone had no problem with it , the follow-up matters were basically settled. If there were any changes, we would discuss them then.
"We have to have a good meal today to celebrate." After saying that, Qin Zhengguo rubbed his hands and smiled.
"We have to have a good meal and reward everyone at the same time." Song Yuanchao had already made arrangements. He had bought cooked food and wine on the way back. In addition, before leaving home today, he specially asked Zhang's mother to help him cook a fish. This was enough for them to have a good meal.
However, Song Yuanchao had something important to say, so he asked everyone to be patient.
"Brothers should be clear about their accounts. We are all friends and brothers, and we can trust each other. But even if we do things together, we must make the rules clear first. Only by making them clear can we keep our friendship long-lasting and go a long way in the future."
"Yuan Chao , why are you doing all this nonsense? Is it necessary?" Qin Zhengguo asked with some confusion as Song Yuan Chao had just finished speaking.
In Qin Zhengguo's mind, brothers are brothers. Isn't it right to stick your neck out for your brothers? Why should we make the brotherhood so clear as if it were a business deal? Wouldn't this hurt the relationship between brothers?
"Zhengguo! This is a must!" Song Yuanchao said word by word. He knew Qin Zhengguo very well. As a good brother, Qin Zhengguo was indeed a person who could be trusted, but Qin Zhengguo's most fatal problem was that he trusted people too much and valued so-called friendship too much.
This may be because the local environment shapes the local people. Qin Zhengguo, who grew up in Andong, has the boldness and informality of northerners in his bones. However, it is precisely because of this deep-rooted idea that Qin Zhengguo suffered a great loss in later generations.
In later generations, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo separated in the northwest and returned to their hometowns. Although they kept exchanging letters with each other, they rarely had the opportunity to meet because of the long distance.
It was not until the early 1990s, when Song Yuanchao went on a business trip to the north, that he had the chance to meet Qin Zhengguo. At that time, Qin Zhengguo had made a lot of money because of border trade. When they met, this guy drove a Mercedes-Benz, dressed like a decent man, wearing a mink coat and holding a mobile phone. The gold chain around his neck was thicker than the chain in Song Yuanchao's toilet. He wore sunglasses and had a cute little mistress beside him. He looked like a typical rich man. In the restaurant, he would order a large table of fresh seafood without blinking an eye, and the wine he served had to be Maotai. He only smoked Huazi cigarettes, and he even said that smoking other cigarettes would make him cough...
But even so, he treated his old friend Qin Zhengguo without any airs and was still enthusiastic from the bottom of his heart.
In order to properly entertain Song Yuanchao who came from afar, Qin Zhengguo specially turned down all arrangements and accompanied Song Yuanchao to visit several cities in the north.
Unfortunately, in 1999, Qin Zhengguo got into trouble because he trusted the wrong person and valued friendship too much.
First, there was a problem with the money he guaranteed for a friend. The other party ran away because he could not pay the money. The huge debt of nearly 30 million yuan fell directly on Qin Zhengguo, the guarantor.
Soon after, a problem occurred with a batch of goods he sent to his northern neighbor. His partner, with whom he had cooperated for many years, suddenly informed him that the goods, valued at 50 million yuan, had been seized by foreign customs. The customs wanted to destroy his goods on the grounds of infringement and issued a subpoena to him through the court.
This was not the last straw that broke the camel's back for Qin Zhengguo. Just when Qin Zhengguo was running around looking for a solution, another piece of bad news came.
His newly married wife ran off with a gigolo from the gym, and even sold his villa without telling him. She took the money from the sale and the few hundred thousand yuan in cash left in the family, and the two of them ran away abroad together.
The successive blows made Qin Zhengguo, who had always been proud and considered himself a successful man, collapse all of a sudden. Overnight, he lost everything, including his career, wealth, love, and family, and all that was left to him was a mess.
All the friends who used to be close to him changed their attitudes. They all avoided his pleadings and no one was willing to help him. In despair, Qin Zhengguo got drunk and ended his life with a rope in his office late at night...
Song Yuanchao was shocked and saddened when he heard the news. He and several educated youth who had been sent to the countryside in the northwest rushed over overnight to take care of Qin Zhengguo's funeral.
Until now, Song Yuanchao still remembers Qin Zhengguo's elderly mother crying her heart out at the funeral, and he also remembers the scene when he buried Qin Zhengguo's urn with his own hands.
