Chapter 845: History of Rise
Xiangjiang Shenghua? Zhang Jian, who had spent a year in Guangzhou, knew that this was a well-known large company.
In addition, Zhang Jian has been wandering around Pengcheng these days looking for a suitable partner, and Shenghua has become even more famous in Pengcheng. Several old industrial parks in Pengcheng are Shenghua's industries, and the largest clothing factory is also owned by Shenghua.
"Old Song, why did you resign from Sit? And how did you suddenly become the chairman of Shenghua?" For a moment, Zhang Jian felt dizzy. Song Yuanchao had invited him to work at Sit before, but now he left Sit and became the chairman of Shenghua. This made him feel too unbelievable.
"Haha, some work arrangements." Song Yuanchao didn't explain much. He just said this with a laugh and then asked how Zhang Jian was doing now.
Last year, Zhang Jian repaid the 3,000 yuan he had borrowed from her, but they had not met at that time. Zhang Jian transferred the money directly to Song Yuanchao. Lin Yan only found out about it later when she received the remittance slip and called Song Yuanchao.
They haven't seen each other for more than a year. The last time they met was when Lu Jun got married. Song Yuanchao only knew that Zhang Jian resigned and went into business not long after attending Lu Jun's wedding, but he had no idea what he did after that or how he was doing.
"Yes, I forgot to ask you in the car just now, Lao Zhang, what are you doing now? How is your work going?"
"What I'm doing is pretty mediocre." Zhang Jian said.
"So-so? Haha, I see you have come to Pengcheng to discuss business, it should be good, right? Tell me, what are you doing now?" Sun Yaoliang asked.
Zhang Jian smiled and said, "When I was planning to resign, I thought too simply. It wasn't until I started my career that I realized that doing business is not as easy as I imagined. Over the past year or so, I've been through a lot and suffered a lot. It's really hard to describe it in words."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. His words aroused the curiosity of Song Yuanchao and the others. Seeing that it was already noon and no one had eaten yet, they decided to eat and drink some wine at the same time. It has been a long time since we last saw each other, old classmates. How could they not have a drink together when they met in Pengcheng today?
Originally, Song Yuanchao had ordered lunch from the club. After Zhang Jian arrived, Song Yuanchao called the club again and added two dishes. After a while, the club delivered the food and set it up in the restaurant. Song Yuanchao took out two bottles of good wine, and the three old classmates started chatting while eating.
Zhang Jian did not hide anything from his old classmates. He started by talking about how he moved south after resigning from his job. He said that after arriving in Guangzhou, he first resold clothes and later started a game cartridge business.
At the beginning, Zhang Jian made some money, but later he was cheated by someone and almost pawned his pants.
There was no other choice, Zhang Jian could only leave Guangzhou temporarily to look for opportunities elsewhere. So he went to Qiongdao and started working as a photographer.
"Taking photos? Lao Zhang, why are you taking photos for people on Qiongdao instead of doing good business?" Sun Yaoliang couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, do you think taking photos is a small business?"
"Isn't it?" Sun Yaoliang asked back in confusion.
Zhang Jian showed a smug expression on his face, and said to Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang: "To tell you the truth, it was all thanks to my trip to Qiongdao, otherwise I would have had to return home in disgrace. Do you know how much money I made taking photos for people during the two months I worked on Qiongdao?"
Song Yuanchao seemed to be thinking about something. Sun Yaoliang thought about it and said that he couldn't guess, but he thought it wouldn't be too many, right?
After Zhang Jian gestured and told the amount he had earned in Qiongdao in two months, Song Yuanchao was fine, but Sun Yaoliang's eyes suddenly widened with an incredible expression.
"Fuck! You made so much money? Are you taking pictures? Not robbing a bank?"
"Hahaha! You didn't expect that, did you?" Seeing that Sun Yaoliang's eyes were about to pop out of his head in shock, Zhang Jian laughed out loud with a smug expression.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, how did you make so much money? In just two months? Tell me, tell me quickly, so I can learn from you," Sun Yaoliang asked anxiously.
Zhang Jian did not hide anything and immediately told them in detail how he did it. After Zhang Jian finished speaking, Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang had to admire Zhang Jian's brain. It was really amazing that this guy could come up with such a trick when he was almost at the end of his rope.
"Contracting a beach , creating a tourist attraction... you can even think of this, you are awesome! You are awesome!" Sun Yaoliang gave a thumbs up, he had to admit it! Not to mention him, even Song Yuanchao admired Zhang Jian's move. Although this matter is nothing to say, you have to know that the first person who can think of this is an absolute genius.
Zhang Jian is such a genius. He turned his life around in an instant with an idea that ordinary people could never imagine. It is no exaggeration to say that he can turn stone into gold.
"Old Zhang, come here! Let me toast you. This is a great idea! I'm convinced! I'm convinced!" Sun Yaoliang said as he picked up the wine glass in front of him. Zhang Jian clinked glasses with him with a smile, then clinked glasses with Song Yuanchao beside him, then raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down his wine glass, Zhang Jian said, "This idea was a coincidence. It just flashed in my mind. In fact, when I first decided to do it, I was unsure and even determined to burn my boats. You have to know that I didn't have much money at that time. All the money in my pocket added up to a few hundred yuan. After deducting the bribes for the village party secretary, the cost of buying film and equipment, I couldn't even pay a quarter's contract fee, and I had to pay it in installments."
"I had already thought about it at that time. If this doesn't work out, I will become a complete pauper. Maybe I can't even get the money for the trip home, and I have to beg for food all the way back." Speaking of this, Zhang Jian sighed and shook his head, then laughed again: "But fortunately, I'm lucky, I took a risk and it worked. This is what they call there is always a way out!"
"By the way, Lao Zhang, since taking photos is so profitable, why don't you do it anymore?"
"Haha, someone is jealous." Zhang Jian lit a cigarette and said with a wry smile, "I couldn't do it after only two months. To put it in one sentence, the business was too good and I made too much money, so someone was eyeing me..."
Immediately, Zhang Jian talked about the village party secretary Chen Wu. After listening to him, both Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang were speechless. They felt even more aggrieved for Zhang Jian. Such a good business was given away like that. This Chen Wu was really despicable.
Sun Yaoliang couldn't help but curse a few times, but Song Yuanchao understood it better and said, "If you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon. Lao Zhang did nothing wrong. How can an outsider like him defeat a local tyrant? On the other hand, although Chen Wu stole Lao Zhang's business, he is still quite decent if you really think about it. If he had a darker heart and acted more ruthlessly, Lao Zhang might have worked for nothing for the past two months."
"Old Song is right!" Zhang Jian nodded and said, "To be honest, I felt very upset and angry at first, but then I thought about it carefully and realized that Chen Wu had saved my face by not going too far. If the other party really wanted to go all the way, I, a foreigner, would have no way to fight back, and I might not even be able to pay back all the money I earned before."
Sun Yaoliang thought about it and sighed: "That's true. The arm can't twist the thigh. Although this business is gone, the people and the money are still there. The result is not bad."
"By the way, Lao Zhang, did you leave Qiong Island later?"
"I left!" Zhang Jian said, "There's no point in staying there. Why should I stay when the business is already sold? But I didn't lose anything. In just two months, I not only made back all the money I was scammed, but also made a lot more. With the capital I had, I returned to Yangcheng. After all, there are more opportunities in Yangcheng."
"What will happen after returning to Guangzhou?" Sun Yaoliang continued to ask.
Zhang Jian smiled and asked Sun Yaoliang: "What do you think I will do when I return to Yangcheng?"
"This..." Sun Yaoliang thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm not a god, how can I guess it? Okay, okay, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly, what have you been doing since you returned to Yangcheng?"
"Hahaha!" Seeing Sun Yaoliang's curious look, Zhang Jian laughed, and then deliberately pointed to the empty cigarette. Seeing his expression, Sun Yaoliang could only the cigarette, Zhang Jian continued to talk about his time in Yangcheng.
When Song Yuanchao and Sun Yaoliang learned that Zhang Jian did not sell clothes or game cartridges as he did before after returning to Guangzhou, nor did he do any landscape photography on Qiongdao Island, but instead got a computer and other things and put on a white coat to pretend to be a doctor, and started doing computer health checks on the streets, they were stunned for a moment, looked at each other , not knowing what to say.
None of them expected Zhang Jian to come up with such a move, which was simply unimaginable. But after careful consideration, Zhang Jian's move was amazing. Zhang Jian not only took advantage of people's pursuit of health, but also cleverly guided people to blindly trust the so-called computer health test through computers, which are high-tech products for ordinary people.
In addition, Zhang Jian also got himself a white coat and wore gold-rimmed glasses to look exactly like a doctor. This made people feel more trustworthy at first sight, and he used this model to achieve his goal.
When Zhang Jian told them how many customers he could receive for health checks in a day and how much each customer would spend, Sun Yaoliang counted on his fingers and his jaw dropped. He never expected that this thing Zhang Jian had created would be so profitable.
"Old Zhang, how should I put it? Although this job is quite profitable, but..." Song Yuanchao frowned . This so-called computer health check was completely different from Zhang Jian's previous landscape photography.
"I understand what you mean. Do you mean to say that this job is just a scam?" Zhang Jian did not try to hide it and said frankly, "To put it bluntly, what I do is no different from selling plasters and pills before. It's not wrong to say that I'm scamming people. But don't worry, I don't do this job anymore. I transferred the business before the New Year."
After hearing what Zhang Jian said, Song Yuanchao finally breathed a sigh of relief. As an old classmate and old friend, he didn't want to see Zhang Jian fall into this trap.
