"I heard that you and Ye Xiaolang broke up?" Song Qingyuan asked with a gossipy face.
Song Qingyuan had been holding it in for a whole day. It was definitely not easy to talk about this kind of thing in the office. Song Qingyuan suppressed his curiosity and waited until after get off work and the two of them went out to eat before breaking the news at the dinner table.
Seeing his appearance, Qiao Yicheng shook his head helplessly, nodded darkly and said, "Yes!"
"Let me tell you, you just said you planned to get married a year ago. Why did you have no news just after the New Year, and you suddenly became worried? It turned out to be because of this." Song Qingyuan
"Why did we suddenly stop getting married? I see that you two have a pretty good relationship?" Song Qingyuan was even more curious. Song Qingyuan had always had a bad impression of Ye Xiaolang, but Qiao Yicheng liked him. , was eaten up by Song Xiaolang. Although Song Qingyuan and Qiao Yicheng had a good relationship, and they also reminded Qiao Yicheng that it was a good idea to inherit, they all failed. After a year, he suddenly changed his mind?
"Is it the master?"
Song Qingyuan immediately thought of Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong often asked him to do spy work such as spying, and often asked him about Ye Xiaolang's affairs. At first, Song Qingyuan was still hiding something, but Wang Zhong said "If you really treat Yicheng as a friend and brother, and it's really for his own good, you shouldn't hide it from me." He directly made Song Qingyuan compromise, not only detailing the process of Ye Xiaolang and Yicheng from acquaintance to falling in love. They told each other one by one, and also sold Ye Xiaolang's 'best friend' colleague and 'friend' who seemed to have some problems.
"How do you know?" Qiao Yicheng shrank, a little surprised at first, but then he realized that Wang Zhong had investigated Ye Xiaolang so clearly that he himself would not believe it if there was no help from Song Qingyuan here.
Song Qingyuan smiled coquettishly: "Master called me and asked me. I only told what I knew. The one who really went to investigate was Xiang Beifang."
Yi Cheng's eyes shrank and his eyes widened: "Xiang Beifang?"
"How did he get involved? My uncle found him?"
"He is engaged in real estate development now, and he knows many people from all walks of life. If not him, who would you look for?" Song Qingyuan said.
Xiang Beifang was not good at studying, but he was quite talented in martial arts. He had the sturdiness and heroism of a wild martial artist. He worked in the army for several years and smoothed his temper. After he came back, he was idle for a long time. Finally, Under the guidance of Wang Zhong, he started working on engineering projects. He took his comrades who had returned from the army and set up an engineering company together. He was from a good background, and with his temperament, Wang Zhong was behind to replace him. He made suggestions and worked vigorously.
Qiao Yicheng had a bitter smile on his face and felt bitter in his heart. Song Qingyuan's words were certainly reasonable, but in this case, wouldn't it mean that everyone knew about his affair with Ye Xiaolang?
Seeing Qiao Yicheng's reaction, Song Qingyuan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to think about it more, life has to go on, you have this free time to be sad here, why not devote all your energy to work Come on, we need to go through that topic a few more times, and we must not make any mistakes this time."
Qiao Yicheng's expression froze when he heard this, and then he showed a hint of apology: "I was wrong about what happened last time. I promise I won't make any mistakes again this time."
Song Qingyuan said: "It's just a topic, it's nothing at all, but there is a saying that you can see the slightest thing, and this is not the first time this has happened. I'm not afraid of offending you. In fact, I have never liked Ye Ye very much. Xiao Lang, now that you are separated from her, I think it is a good thing."
Song Qingyuan and Qiao Yicheng had been friends since childhood. They were both apprentices under Wang Zhong's sect, so naturally they didn't have to be so scrupulous about what they said.
Qiao Yicheng laughed at himself and shook his head: "Speaking of which, you tried to persuade me several times from the beginning, but I was blinded by lard and didn't listen to a word of it."
"As the saying goes: Those in authority are confused, but those onlookers are clear." Song Qingyuan said: "Now that you have seen clearly, it is not too late to look back. It is just right for us to work on the topic again. There are no other things to distract you, so you can spend all your thoughts on this. .”
Although Song Qingyuan didn't know why his friend suddenly changed his mind when the end came, but based on his understanding of Qiao Yicheng, it must be something happened to Ye Xiaolang that made Yicheng unacceptable. Otherwise, Yicheng would definitely not make such a decision.
"you're right!"
······
The time came to 1992. Erqiang and Xu Qinghui had organized their wedding the year before. They bought a house near the restaurant as a new house and moved out from home.
In order to thank Sister Wu for being the matchmaker, Wang Zhong even sealed a big red envelope, which made Sister Wu so happy that she couldn't close her mouth for several days.
Although Qiao Zuwang is uneducated and has no skills, he is good at dealing with people and is used to flattering people. In addition, in recent years, with the continuous flow of movies and TV shows from Hong Kong and Wanwan into the country, the people's Economic conditions are also gradually improving, and his A-goods business is in full swing, and he has become one of the hottest figures in the wholesale market.
Not only did I install a telephone at home, but I also bought a color TV. I wore a suit all day long, carried a leather bag, and styled my hair as if it had been licked by a calf. It was someone else who took the initiative to say hello to him. It was good now. Not to mention the extremely eye-catching clothes he wore, there were some people who were distracted and didn't see him. Qiao Zuwang would also take the initiative to say hello to people. This was unprecedented.
Just waiting for others to say with envy: "Brother Qiao, you are so prosperous!"
Then he replied with a smile: "What's the point of being developed? Earn a little money, a little money!"
His tail is almost up to the sky, and his life is free and comfortable, making his friends all envious.
Winter winter winter!
There was a knock on the courtyard door. Wang Zhong, who was lying on a lounge chair under the eaves, holding a cattail leaf fan and enjoying the coolness, raised his head and leaned his head back when he saw half of his head sticking out from the door.
"Are you home alone?" Qiao Zuwang walked into the courtyard with a smile, holding a bottle of wine and three stacked oil paper bags.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say!" Wang Zhong closed his eyes, shaking the cattail leaf fan in his right hand, and holding a small purple teapot in his left hand.
"I bought pig heads and pig ears, sit down and have a few sips?" Qiao Zuwang raised the oil paper bag in his hand.
The aroma of braised pork spread out through the oil paper. Wang Zhong sat up, put down the teapot, stood up, swung the cattail leaf fan and stepped into the house with slippers. Qiao Zuwang followed behind him with a smile.
Wang Zhong took out the wine glass, and Qiao Zuwang took out two pairs of wine cups. The two sat opposite each other. Qiao Zuwang poured wine for Wang Zhong diligently and clinked a glass with Wang Zhong.
After three glasses of wine, Wang Zhong said directly: "If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."
Qiao Zuwang chuckled and didn't refute.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. You know, I don't like to beat around the bush."
Qiao Zuwang licked his smile and asked, "I just want to ask, how long can our A-goods business last?"
His posture was very low. After all, Wang Zhong was his bread and butter at the moment. Some of the goods in his hands were obtained from Shenzhen City, and some were from garment factories. But even those goods from Shenzhen City, They also took the logistics route of the garment factory and sent it to Jinling. Then Qiao Zuwang contacted the buyer and went to the warehouse of the garment factory to pick up the goods and make a profit from it.
Although the profit is not high, it can't bear the large volume and small profits but quick turnover. It only took more than a year to achieve its current development.
"As long as you are willing to work hard, insist on honest management, do business down-to-earth, and don't make any mistakes, you will be fine for the rest of your life."
Wang Zhong's words are not nonsense. Not to mention that there are no independent brands in China now. Even at the time in the real world, various domestic independent brands are emerging one after another, but many OEM and copycat products are still popular. As long as The style is good-looking, the price is cheap, and even if the quality is not as good as the original, it is still very popular.
Qiao Zuwang nodded and said: "I encountered something recently and I am a little undecided. You are more capable than me. How about you help me analyze it?"
These words actually came out of Qiao Zuwang's mouth. Wang Zhong was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at him: "What's the matter?"
"Xu Funian, you know, right?"
"The one you play mahjong with all the time?"
"Yes, that's him!" Qiao Zuwang said: "Recently, Lao Xu doesn't know what path he has taken. He suddenly became prosperous. He drives a car, holds a mobile phone in his hand, and even drinks tea with big square bricks. Lived more grandly than me..."
"Speak directly!" Wang Zhong reminded.
Qiao Zuwang said hurriedly: "Last night, Lao Xu came to me and said that he had a fund-raising project that was very profitable. All the things he has now are earned from fund-raising. He asked me if I was interested. If so, He introduced me to their manager.”
"Raising funds?" Wang Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly, very surprised. Did this happen so early? It was only 1992, and KFC had just settled in Jinling. How could these fund-raising companies have emerged in China so early?
Is it because of myself?
An idea flashed in Wang Zhong's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was that he thought it was possible. Although his own garment factory had only been open for a few years, due to its fashionable styles and the fact that he had invited superstars from Hong Kong Island to advertise for several years, the sales volume increased. It is extremely popular, especially among young people. Every year, orders come in like a flowing stream, and one production line after another has been added. Especially recently, the market on Hong Kong Island has been opened up, and a branch factory has been built in Shenzhen, specifically for To make A-goods, by the way, the independent brands in your own factory can use the A-goods route to enter the Hong Kong market. Although there is no improvement yet, the sales of A-goods are extremely hot. Although Hong Kong Island is not big, Hong Kong Island is As for the current consumption power of citizens, no city in the mainland can match it.
The garment factory is now the hottest star factory in Jinling. Not only has it brought more than 3,000 jobs to Jinling, but it even pays more taxes than countless old factories. Now Ma Suqin is a guest of the Jinling government.
The big tree attracts the wind. A signboard as big as the garment factory is placed here, and he has not deliberately concealed it. Anyone who is interested will know the relationship between the garment factory and Wang Zhong after a little investigation. It is not surprising that he is targeted.
Among the people around him, the easiest one to acquire is really Qiao Zuwang.
Of course, these are just Wang Zhong's speculations, and this may not necessarily be the case. After all, fundraising is basically about defrauding money from acquaintances.
"What kind of fund-raising method?" Wang Zhong asked.
Qiao Zuwang said: "This old Xu hasn't told me yet. After all, he is not sure whether I will vote or not."
Wang Zhong rolled his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Don't talk about feasibility reports and risk assessments. You don't even have a project plan, and you just come here to ask me how I can analyze it for you."
Qiao Zuwang was confused by the question and hurriedly poured wine for Wang Zhong, "Do you want so many things?"
Wang Zhongdao: "If nothing else, before you invest money, you must at least know how to make money, right? Is it possible that with just one word from Xu Funian, you just invested the money in vain for him? What would you do if he took the money and ran away?" "
Qiao Zuwang blinked and said in disbelief: "Isn't that true?"
"You did business with him a lot in the past few years. When did you make a profit?"
These words directly made Qiao Zu blush.
A few years ago, I watched everyone else start a business and make a fortune. Even Qiao Yicheng was making money while going to school, and his job was gone. Qiao Zuwang couldn't sit still. At that time, Xu Funian, a card player, was doing Business, and he also made money, Qiao Zuwang's thoughts were moved, but he didn't expect that he almost broke the entire coffin.
But Qiao Zuwang was stupid. He wanted to do business with Xu Funian, but he didn't want to be more cautious and careful. He just threw the money to Xu Funian and let Xu Funian mess around. He didn't know whether the business was done or not. , I only knew from Xu Funian’s words that he lost money and lost his capital. At that time, Qiao Zuwang and Xu Funian had a direct falling out, and that’s when the back-end manager Yicheng and Erqiang asked for money.
Fortunately, the bracelet left by Wei Shuying had been taken away by Wang Zhong as early as that year. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been impossible to escape the fate of being tricked by Xu Funian.
"Besides, it's not like you can't make money now. You can be your middleman with peace of mind and run the business honestly. If you want to earn more, then go to the surrounding counties and cities to find more Merchants cooperate and make money steadily, which is better than anything else!"
Wang Zhong didn't know that Qiao Zuwang wouldn't listen. Anyway, he had already said what he needed to say. If Qiao Zuwang could really keep to himself and not dream about pie-in-the-sky dreams, he would have no worries about food and clothing and a prosperous life for sure.
But people's hearts are unpredictable, and their greed is endless. Especially people like Qiao Zuwang, who think about two things when they have one thing, and think about three things when they have two things. They may not be able to control it.
A bottle of wine was shared between the two of them, and none of the pork head meat that Qiao Zuwang brought was eaten.
On this day, Wang Zhong was reviewing manuscripts in the magazine office when suddenly the phone rang. It was a call from the north.
"Master, your small building has been completed and decorated according to your requirements. When will you be free, come and take a look?"
