The sudden interlude of confession made the atmosphere of the dinner finally warm and smooth.
Everyone's interest became high, their attitudes became much more relaxed, and many of the things they had been holding back in their hearts were boldly asked.
“Mr. Bai, how long have you liked Yingying?”
“I’ve always liked it.” Su Yi replied.
“Did you move to Ode to Joy because of Yingying?”
“Yes.” Su Yi smiled.
These words caused the girls to scream with joy.
“It’s so romantic! Brother Bai, I heard from Sister Fan and others that your home is newly renovated. Will you regard it as your and Yingying’s new house?”
“If it comes to that, we must buy and decorate the new house together.” Su Yi replied.
“Mr. Bai, you said before that the company you and Yingying work for is owned by your family. So, are you working as the financial director in your family company to accumulate grassroots experience and train yourself?”
Su Yi smiled and said: "This is your guess, not what I said."
“Actually, I also have a question to ask Mr. Bai. I don’t know if it can satisfy my curiosity.” Andy suddenly said.
"I feel like a new son-in-law comes to the door and is faced with the woman's seven aunts and eight aunts." Su Yi sighed.
Everyone laughed, and Andy said: "First of all, I have to apologize. I checked your background, but found nothing. And you and Lao Tan are friends, but I have never heard him talk about you before. So I am very curious.
, what is your background?"
I have to say that Andy is very ignorant of the ways of the world.
What is the background? This sentence cannot be asked directly in person.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Obviously, this is something everyone wants to know.
“My greatest background is myself.” Su Yi said with a smile, “It is better to seek help from others than from yourself. All the backgrounds of a person extend from oneself, so one must be kind to oneself.”
Andy tilted his head and thought for a while, pursed his lips and smiled in relief, and said: "That makes sense, I think you'll pass."
At this time, Wang Baichuan stood up.
He first poured himself a full glass of wine, then walked up to Su Yi and said sincerely: "Brother Bai, I'd like to toast you a glass of wine. I want to do it again for my previous..."
As soon as the show started, Qu Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.
Wang Baichuan was immediately interrupted.
"Oh, you made me laugh so hard." Qu Xiaoxiao smiled exaggeratedly, "Before, I was Brother Bai, and now I am Brother Bai! Boss Wang, do you think you are brother and brother now, do you not understand it, or do you understand it too well?
Where is it?"
These words made everyone feel embarrassed for Wang Baichuan. Qu Xiaoxiao was so merciless that she simply pointed her nose at Wang Baichuan for being arrogant in front of him and respectful in the back.
But Wang Baichuan still smiled happily and said: "Calling brother is for intimacy, calling eldest brother is for respect. This has nothing to do with seniority, it is just adjusting the title according to the context. I am apologizing now. Naturally, I cannot just express kindness, but
I need a little more respect to express my sincere apology."
These words made Qu Xiaoxiao confused.
Wang Baichuan continued to say to Su Yi: "Brother Bai, I apologize because I didn't understand you before. I thought you were quite easy-going, so I joked with you in a more casual tone. But later I discovered that you are a very principled person.
I am also a very low-key and reserved person. In this way, the jokes I made seemed frivolous and inappropriate. Brother Bai, I am really frightened. Because I misunderstood your personality and hobbies, I made some inappropriate jokes. I was afraid of the impact.
Your good mood..."
This time, let alone anyone else, even Su Yi had goosebumps all over his body after hearing this.
What the hell is this an apology?
This is obviously flattering, okay?
Wang Baichuan is too social and he is too good at talking.
But as he said himself, he was too out of step with the times.
In front of a group of people who are not very good at talking and don't want to be too good at talking, he behaves so greasy and tactful, which will only make everyone feel uncomfortable and awkward.
This time, even Fan Shengmei felt that Wang Baichuan had passed.
"Ouch, it disgusts me!" Qu Xiaoxiao shouted directly, "Boss Wang, can you please stop bringing out this stinky thing on this dinner table and disgust me? What are you doing? I really want to apologize, so I can just blow it on myself.
A bottle of wine and say that I am really blind. I think you are a man. What is your purpose in doing this? Do you think the people sitting at the table can't see it? "
A trace of anger finally flashed in Wang Baichuan's eyes.
But before he could have a seizure, Fan Shengmei exploded first.
"Qu Xiaoxiao, shut your foul mouth! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Fan Shengmei looked livid, "Bai Chuan apologized because he didn't want Mr. Bai to misunderstand and wanted to ease the relationship. You don't want to hear it.
, Either leave, or cover your ears! Mr. Bai didn’t say anything, and Mr. Tan didn’t say anything either. You’re here making a stink and making you feel disgusting. How do you feel about your presence? What qualifications do you have to judge others? Show you
You have no quality, right?"
“The firepower is enough, Sister Fan!” Qu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, “You are so hard-working. You are so protective of this man named Wang. It seems that you two are in cahoots with each other? Hehe!”
“If you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth to pieces!” Fan Sheng’s beautiful eyes were like fire.
"I'm so scared!" Qu Xiaoxiao said with a look of disdain, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. This Wang surnamed Wang doesn't have any strength at first glance. It won't work. You, Sister Fan, are only thinking about pinching the point and finding someone.
Qian Kaizi, you have made a mistake this time, how can anyone who is truly rich stink like him?"
"Miss Qu, I let you go because you are a woman." Wang Baichuan finally couldn't help it anymore, "But this is not the reason for you to speak out and maliciously slander others! If you have any objections to me, we will resolve it privately! Today
This is Mr. Tan’s place, let’s not embarrass Mr. Tan, okay?”
“It’s really touching to take the overall situation into consideration.” Qu Xiaoxiao snorted disdainfully.
“Okay, Xiaoqu, Baichuan, and Miss Fan.” Tan Zongming sighed and said, “Give me some face and stop arguing, okay?”
He has spoken, and naturally a few people will not refute him.
Qu Xiaoxiao looked like she was smiling but not smiling and shut up, with an indifferent look on her face.
Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan both looked ugly.
Su Yi said nothing from the beginning to the end, watching with cold eyes.
It was only then that he picked up the water glass and touched it with Wang Baichuan, smiling at him: "No more talking, it's all in the wine."
Wang Baichuan hurriedly bowed his waist slightly and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
This scene made Fan Shengmei feel a little uncomfortable.
“Let’s talk about something happy.” Tan Zongming suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, “Actually, Bai Chuan came to me today, hoping that I can invest in his company.”
This topic really attracted everyone's attention, especially Fan Shengmei, whose spirits suddenly lifted and she became excited.
“I am very optimistic about Bai Chuan’s brother’s talent, and I am willing to invest in him.” Tan Zongming said with a smile, “So I decided to inject capital into his company in my own name.”
Speaking of this, Tan Zongming paused and looked at Su Yi: "Old Bai, do you want to play together?"
Tan Zongming's words made the others either excited or meaningless, but one person was very unhappy. This was Qu Xiaoxiao.
She felt that Tan Zongming’s move was simply trying to undermine her!
She had just had a falling out with Wang Baichuan and scolded him as a bad person. But then she turned around and said that Tan Zongming wanted to invest in Wang Baichuan's company and that she was mainly interested in him.
Where does this put her Qu Xiaoxiao?
But she didn’t dare to challenge Tan Zongming, so she simply pretended not to hear.
“What kind of business does Brother Bai Chuan’s company do?”
Su Yi suddenly asked.
Wang Baichuan did not dare to neglect, and said hurriedly: "I am engaged in import and export trade, and I am mainly engaged in the business of product sales."
"Trading company?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows, "A company that has an office location and can start operations by hiring just a few salesmen? Lao Tan, is this kind of company worth investing in?"
"Brother Bai, my company is not this kind of leather goods company," Wang Baichuan hurriedly explained, "Although I have just come to Shanghai, I have brought over the sales team that I have trained for three years. They are all very experienced.
, all of them are sales elites, and this is the core competitiveness of our company."
"The sales team from your hometown will definitely be acclimated when they are brought to the Magic City. Once they are familiar with the environment and the market, you might as well recruit local sales people to save time and effort." Su Yi smiled and said lightly: "Furthermore,
The essence of a trading company is the buying and selling of goods, and its most important core competitiveness is information and business channels. It must have a supply of goods and sales targets to survive."
"A good team is important, but what is more important is to collect reasonable resource allocation from the market according to market rules to meet the needs of customers. Therefore, connections in this industry are the foundation and credibility is the guarantee. Without these two, the value of your company is only
It can be reflected in the hardware facilities.”
The implication is that office supplies and computers are worth some money...
After a pause, Su Yi asked again: "Does the company have real estate? Where is the office?"
Wang Baichuan was stunned, and after a while he hurriedly said: "I just came to Shanghai, and the office location has not been determined yet..."
“In other words, there is no hardware?” Su Yi said calmly, “Then how much capital do you have, how much do you plan to invest, and where do you plan to spend the money?”
“I don’t have much funds, about one million or so.” Wang Baichuan’s face already looked a little ugly.
“One million?” Su Yi wondered, “One million is definitely enough to rent offices, recruit people and buy office facilities. Why do you need to invest?”
“I want to grow bigger...” Wang Baichuan no longer knew what to say.
Actually, he doesn’t know much about this at all, and he doesn’t have as much as one million. He wants to invest. He just wants to have a relationship with Tan Zongming and make more money. He doesn’t know how he is going to spend money in the company.
It is impossible for an actor to know everything. Wang Baichuan actually has experience in business, but there are many types of businesses. A mineral water seller will never understand the principles of stocks.
"Make it bigger?" Su Yi half-smiled, "Rent a bigger office? Buy better computers and recruit more salesmen? Apart from these, how else do you plan to make it bigger? Does it make sense for you to make it bigger?
"
“Public relations, the company’s main expenditure is on public relations!” Wang Baichuan answered with difficulty.
"The most important thing for a trading company is to do marketing, not public relations!" Su Yi shook his head: "This is a typical shortcut business thinking, and you have no intention of laying a solid foundation. Shortcut business can make money for a while, but it will never last long.
If it doesn’t grow big, it won’t last long. No one will invest in a small business with no prospects!”
Speaking of this, Su Yi looked at Tan Zongming: "Brother Baichuan's company has no investment value. You just said that you should invest in people? If this is what Brother Baichuan wants to do, do you want to invest in him too?"
After a pause, he said with a smile: "With an investment of up to one million, even if there is a 100% profit in a year, it will not even reach the profit of Shengxuan Group in one day. Why are you investing? Are you planning to play?"
Every family?"
“Pfft!” Qu Xiaoxiao burst into laughter.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she hurriedly waved her hands and suppressed a smile and said: "I'm sorry, I thought of something happy, you go on, you go on!"
In fact, she felt as happy as eating ice cream in the dog days of summer!
A second ago, Tan Zongming held up Wang Baichuan, who had fallen out with her.
At this moment, Bai Muyang completely exposed this embroidered pillow that was strong on the outside but stupid on the inside, letting everyone know that he was actually nothing!
Although Qu Xiaoxiao was also said to be a little guilty by Su Yi because she didn’t understand anything, she was not exposed!
She was even more in awe of Bai Muyang, and her affection for him was overwhelming.
It is a pity that such a good man, how could he be blind and like Qiu Yingying, a fool?
What a pity!
At this time, other people also had different thoughts.
Andy resonates very much with what Su Yi said. Su Yi's outspokenness and business thinking are very to her liking, and she fully agrees.
In her opinion, Tan Zongming’s investment in Wang Baichuan was actually to lend money to Wang Baichuan for fun, so she didn’t understand why Tan Zongming wanted to bring Su Yi along with him?
Guan Ju'er and Qiu Yingying's admiration for Su Yi has reached a higher level, and they increasingly feel that Su Yi is a treasure and knows everything.
Fan Shengmei was a little embarrassed, a little surprised and disappointed.
It was embarrassing, naturally, because Wang Baichuan was her suitor, but he was so embarrassed in front of Su Yi.
Suddenly, it was because she finally realized that even if Wang Baichuan knew Tan Zongming, he was nothing in the latter's eyes. Wang Baichuan was not a diamond king, he was just an ordinary person, and there was no comparison with Tan Zongming and Bai Muyang.
.
She was disappointed because through Su Yi’s words, she saw through Wang Baichuan’s strong-willed nature.
The person who is most confused is Tan Zongming.
In fact, he didn't understand why Su Yi demoted Wang Baichuan to be worthless.
Didn’t you agree to win over this person?
Since we are trying to win over each other, it is enough to just spend money. Why do we want to do things like this now?
"Just think of it as helping a friend." Tan Zongming was puzzled and said casually, "Bai Chuan is a very thoughtful person, Lao Bai, you will know when you get to know him..."
"If you really value him, wouldn't it be better to just recruit him into the sales department of Shengxuan Group?" Su Yi suddenly suggested, "Let him start a company from scratch with nothing but some scattered items.
