"Because deep down in my heart I've always wanted you to come and help me."
"From the first time I saw you in college, I knew you were a reliable person. Once you enter the mall, your achievements will not be low!" Du Ye said.
"Are you so sure?" Liang Jiangtao was a little surprised. He didn't know what qualities he had in him that made Du Ye value him so much.
“My family has been in business for I don’t know how many generations. I have been working hard in eastern Guangdong since the Thirteenth Party of the Qing Dynasty. I have gone through ups and downs, and I know that if you want to be prosperous forever in the shopping mall, you don’t rely on capital. Rely on courage, not on opportunities, not even on relationships, but on people!”
"A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs! As long as you choose the right person, things will be 80% successful. No matter the wind and waves rise, I will sit on the fishing boat. When the situation is bad, I will protect my capital and make a small amount of money. When the situation is good, When the time comes, he can turn around and make a lot of money! Think about it, Liu Bang is just a ruffian, why should he be the emperor? Isn't he just making good use of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He?"
"Your biggest advantage is that you are principled and will not easily break through your bottom line for some worldly interests. And you still have a certain degree of flexibility under the principles. My dad told me that as long as you have these two points, you will be able to achieve success. .The most important thing in doing business is to find such a person and let him work for you. This is the family motto passed down from our ancestors, hahaha."
"My business has been going smoothly in the past few years, mainly because the environment is good and my family has a good foundation. It is difficult to succeed. However, I have not found many real talents. I have to say that it is very difficult. Pity."
"Originally, I thought about waiting for you to graduate and continue mobilizing you to come here, but after you entered the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, my temple is too small! Brother, I am self-aware." Du Ye took a sip of red wine and shook it Shake his head.
Liang Jiangtao was silent, filled with emotion. He never expected that Du Ye understood him better than he did.
But even though I had the advantages Du Ye mentioned, I still accomplished nothing in my previous life, and even trapped myself deep in my heart, unwilling to come out.
Where did this begin?
"There is a saying in China that a scholar will die for his bosom friend. The fact that you value me so much is not in vain for our friendship. But as you said, I really have no way to help you now because I have found the direction of my life. , bless me, brother! Ten years later...no...twenty years later, we will all have the life we want!"
Liang Jiangtao said passionately, picking up the wine glass and clinking a drink with Du Ye.
"Brother, my company must be listed on the market, and you should at least be the mayor and take charge of the government! It's best to come to eastern Guangdong, so that I can be protected by you."
“Does business in eastern Guangdong still require government connections?”
In Liang Jiangtao's eyes, the poorer and backward the place, the more dependent it is on connections, while in economically developed areas like eastern Guangdong, the government just leaves things alone and provides services, and does not need the protection of officialdom.
Du Ye immediately understood the doubts in Liang Jiangtao's heart and said: "Old Liang, you are wrong. In the whole world, it is not the royal territory. Even if the economy of eastern Guangdong is developed, it is still the territory of China. It is the same system. Why is it special? ?”
"It's just that the business environment in eastern Guangdong is much better than in the north. There is no need to deal with and maintain such complicated government relations. Any small fish and shrimps in industry, commerce, and taxation can come to rip you off. If you are not fed, you will not be given. When you do something, even if all the conditions are met, you will still be dragged away... until you are dragged to death. I know this very well. My friends in the north are extremely confused. What they think about every day is how to deal with various government relations. I drank so much that I vomited bile. Eastern Guangdong is better in this regard. General government departments are more disciplined and dare not mess around, but core interests and core resources, such as land, natural resources, and key qualifications and licenses, It also requires the nod of a big leader to get it. Without strong government relations, an enterprise cannot be successful," Du Ye said eloquently.
"That's it." Liang Jiangtao thought thoughtfully.
In fact, shopping malls and officialdom are one and the same, and the underlying logic is the same.
After being reborn, didn't I ever think about abandoning politics and going into business, wouldn't it be better if I had money and was free and happy?
But who knew that I encountered such a huge opportunity, and coupled with twenty years of experience in government agencies in my previous life, it would be a huge advantage once I entered politics, so I gave up the idea of doing business.
However, I gained a lot from a chat with Du Ye and gained a lot of insights.
Doing business is not as simple as you think.
"Old Du, actually I came here to ask you for help with something." Liang Jiangtao got straight to the point.
"You can say whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I'll do whatever it takes." Du Ye became more energetic upon hearing this.
"You know, the salary of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee is not high, and my family situation is not very good. I want you to help me make some money to fund my future life. If I want to go far in the system, I must be honest. I don’t want to have any financial constraints.”
"Your idea is right. Let me tell you that I saw you right. You can think so far at this age and don't ruin your bright future for petty gains! You have big goals!" Du Ye nodded appreciatively. Immediately he said:
"But... you just need to tell me if you are short of money. Why are you so polite? I will give it to you directly. God knows that you know it and I know it. There is no risk at all. Besides, how much can you make with one or two handfuls? Money? It’s not enough at all," Du Ye said.
"No, no, no, how about asking for your money directly? I have my principles! I would be very grateful if you could help me." Liang Jiangtao shook his head.
"How do you want me to help you? Come to me to show that you have already thought about it." Du Ye asked.
"Yes, I want to get a batch of PHS from you, and the price should be low!"
"Oh, this is a good idea. You are really smart. You can definitely get the cheapest PHS in the country by contacting me. Just find a PHS store and you will never have to worry about selling. It is indeed a business that will make a profit without losing money. !”
Du Ye's eyes lit up and he felt that this was a good way to make money quickly, and it was very suitable for Liang Jiangtao. This also proved that Liang Jiangtao did have business acumen.
"We two brothers opened our hearts and said, if you do me this favor, it is almost as good as giving me money directly. I will keep it in mind!" Liang Jiangtao's eyes were bright.
With the current popularity of PHS in the national market, as long as you get the goods, it is a sure-profit business, and the profit is extremely high.
Du Ye didn't worry about selling at all, as long as he was willing to give Liang Jiangtao the goods, it was a real favor.
"You're here again, and you're so polite to me. This is what I do, bro. I can get whatever you want! To be honest, if someone from the Organization Department of the Guangdong Provincial Committee made this request to me, I would definitely be overjoyed. , you are my brother and you are so polite, isn’t that the opposite? Tell me how much you want, what requirements you have, and where to send it, and I will ship it to you tomorrow, and the goods will arrive before your custodian arrives in Handong. "
