When the words and drinks arrived, the matter ended there.
After that, no one at the table ever talked about the self-employed or the tobacco shop.
Instead, the focus of the chat shifted to calligraphy and painting.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Ning Weimin also followed the trend and took the initiative to talk about his views on the current affairs of the country, social news, the situation of foreign companies, and jokes in the company.
Later, he and Huang Xinyuan shared their experiences as middle managers.
All in all, the conversation was very relaxed and harmonious, like a private conversation between friends.
In this way, by the time the banquet was over, Ning Weimin and Huang Xinyuan had already fully understood and felt close to each other.
When we sit on the sofa together and drink tea, smoke, and eat fruit, some problems will no longer be problems.
When Ning Weimin very friendly invited Master Guan and Huang Xinyuan.
He claims that Jianguo Hotel and Zhai Palace Exhibition Hall are both places he is responsible for, and you are welcome to visit them at any time.
If you like it, he can decide on all the clothing in these two places and sell it to them at a 30% discount.
There was no need for Ning Weimin to express any further, so Master Guan took the initiative to bring up the old matter and speak out for Ning Weimin.
"Xinyuan, look at how enthusiastic and friendly Wei Min is. Moreover, he loves art and has been doing his best to support the development of domestic art. If he were a philistine, he would probably be the best in the world.
There are no businessmen to associate with. What do you think?"
Although he didn't say this clearly, Huang Xinyuan already understood what it meant.
He nodded and smiled, agreeing without any hesitation.
"That's right, Manager Ning and I are really destined to meet each other at the teacher's house today. Now let alone Manager Ning's character, I can't trust him. Just because of Manager Ning's identity, there's nothing I can't trust. No.
To tell you the truth, the plan submitted by Manager Ning and his friend is really good, and it is a mutually beneficial plan. It is also very beneficial to our company to solve the inventory backlog. At the beginning, I gave up because I considered that the self-employed were not trustworthy.
I'm thinking of finding an opportunity to discuss with the sales point of my cooperative unit. Now, the trust foundation is different. Of course, it's just a matter of one sentence..."
Ning Weimin took the opportunity to raise his tea cup.
"I'm drinking tea instead of wine. First of all, I would like to thank Master Guan for showing great importance to me, and then I would like to thank Manager Huang for his support."
Things are so amazing, they just fall into place.
Public matters become private matters, and private matters become trivial matters.
Ning Weimin's request was settled in one word, and it was solved in such an understatement.
He didn't even give any gifts at all, but actually made a lot of money from them.
Because Master Guan’s paintings and calligraphy are also among the more sought-after categories at auctions in the future.
At least a calligraphy and painting that Ning Weimin bought for a few hundred yuan today will not be difficult to sell for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands if it goes up for auction in the future.
Calculating the total ledger, Ning Weimin spent seven to eight thousand from Master Guan to buy calligraphy and paintings.
In a few decades, once Master Guan disappears, the market will skyrocket, and he will definitely earn millions, which is considered to be worth every penny.
Although it cannot be compared with buying works like "Billion Dollar Club", it is still much more cost-effective than other ways of communication. Even if you buy a house and save it, it seems magnanimous.
This kind of business that does not suffer losses inside or outside is probably only possible for him, Ning Weimin.
So it is precisely because of this, because he paid so much real money to buy seemingly "useless" things, that this thing is so seamless.
It's no wonder that neither Master Guan nor Huang Xinyuan fell into the trap without the slightest suspicion.
For no other reason than Ning Weimin calculating people's hearts and finding the best entry point to appear next to Huang Xinyuan.
The key is that a person with a background like his is too outstanding.
A person like him who holds an important position, has a bright future, and is so passionate about calligraphy and painting.
How could he be a common man who is obsessed with the benefits of a few boxes of cigarettes and alcohol?
This is unscientific!
The most interesting thing is that even Zhang Shihui was a little confused by Ning Weimin's strategy.
He never thought that in order to accomplish this, Ning Weimin would buy so many calligraphy and paintings.
So when Ning Weimin told him the good news and said that he would take him to the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company to get the batch slip, he didn't seem so happy.
He kept talking endlessly...
"Brother, you just spent so much money and got dozens of calligraphy and paintings? Is it worth it?"
"I remember when you bought those calligraphy and paintings in large quantities, the average price was only twenty yuan a piece, right? Now the price of a dozen paintings is just like this, don't you feel bad? This is more expensive than any gift!"
"I'm not telling you, we only have 50,000 yuan, and now we have 40,000 yuan left. We still need to decorate, buy things, and install a phone..."
Ning Weimin had the ability to see into people's hearts. Of course he saw why Zhang Shihui was worried and wavered, so he immediately asked him to stop.
"Yes, I knew you would be a little naughty. You can't bear to part with it, right? You don't believe me, right? If you really feel that this is a loss, then these truths can be considered as my personal purchase. I'm just asking for it, and you will
Just don’t regret it.”
Zhang Shihui felt a little embarrassed after being exposed, and wanted to make peace with her.
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I'm just going to share the trouble. Aren't I afraid that losing capital will affect the implementation of your great plan..."
Ning Weimin doesn't care about this matter.
Although we are buddies and can share the benefits, we are not the ones to be taken advantage of.
"Don't! Why are you sharing the trouble? Don't force it! Well, you don't know the good stuff, so it's like I'm harming you. I still feel wronged."
"We gentlemen are as quick as we say. Let's call it a day. All the calligraphy and painting will be considered as my additional investment. I won't pay out even a penny of the principal of the tobacco and alcohol business. Okay?"
"Then it's settled. Including these two paintings that Master Guan gave me for free and let me hang in the store. From now on, they have nothing to do with you..."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Shihui discovered that Ning Weimin still had two pieces of writing in his hand.
Can't help but get curious.
"Hey, why isn't there even a shaft? What does it say? Open it and take a look...".
"I'm going to make a frame with glass. Besides, Master Guan doesn't care about framing, so what axis should I bring?"
Ning Weimin opened the two pages while explaining.
As a result, these two horizontal couplets made Zhang Shihui show his cowardice and exposed his lack of culture.
No matter what this kid blurted out, no one was right.
"Women's...treasure! If you don't earn it, you will die!"
Well, Ning Weimin almost choked on the puff of cigarette he didn't inhale.
But Zhang Shihui didn't know it himself, and he even complained about it.
"This... what kind of master is this? I said, what is this writing about?"
"I have heard about Friends of Women. What is a woman's treasure? Who would hang this in a store? Weimin, is he scolding you?"
"If you pay this back, will you die if you don't make any money? This is for both of us! We haven't opened yet, so this is a curse on us, grandma's! It's so unlucky!"
Ning Weimin felt really outrageous. He was afraid that others might hear the joke, so he quickly asked Zhang Shihui to stop it.
"You... shut up! Brother, let's not show up! You don't even know me."
"Look clearly, this one is 'Home at Home' and the other is 'Jizhao Huiyuan'!"
"They have good intentions. First, they posted it in the store outside to remind us to pay attention to the friendly service attitude."
"The other one is hanging in the back hall, reminding us that when we are busy making money, we should not forget to take a break, and we should be people who can not only make money, but also enjoy life quietly."
"You, you really got an advantage and still acted like a good boy. You are very unethical..."
Seeing Zhang Shihui embarrassed by being talked about, Ning Weimin took a puff of his cigarette with great interest.
But just when he was about to take advantage of the victory and give his buddy a few words, he was stunned again.
Because he suddenly realized something, it seemed that this statement was more applicable to him!
Immediately, accompanied by an indescribable awkwardness, he started coughing.
Damn it, I actually choked on a puff of cigarette!
