In the middle of summer, the night comes extremely late. At 7:30 in the evening, the sun is still setting in the sky. The fountain is dancing under the guidance of the music. There are many stone stools next to it. There are young people dressed in fashionable clothes coming and going.
Girl, there are migrant workers carrying luggage and looking confused.
Opposite the fountain is a large hotel called Weihuang Hotel. There are several large woven bags placed on the stone benches beside the fountain. Seven or eight men in their thirties are sitting or standing there. They have dark skin and look a little pitiful.
Jiang Xiaoyan got out of the car, straightened her skirt, and said to Lu Feng, "Those people seem to have come from the countryside."
“I don’t know how many people come to Shenzhen to work every day. What’s so strange about this?”
"Look at how pitiful they are. It would be a good idea to hire them to work in the factory."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lu Feng grabbed her arm and said, "You can't help but pity them. If they can come to the big city to work hard, they are no longer pitiable. You can't see the real poor people. Let's go."
In the private room on the fourth floor, Zhao Yanran has already arrived. She has put on light makeup today and is also wearing a long skirt. The air conditioner in the private room is blowing quite cool, and she is sitting there with a somewhat solemn gaze.
"Mr. Zhao, your distinguished guest has arrived." The waiter walked in and said.
Zhao Yanran hurriedly stood up and put on a smiling face. When she walked out of the private room, she happened to meet Lu Feng and his wife. She stepped forward, held their hands, and said happily: "Mr. Jiang, it's really great that Mr. Lu can come here. Hurry up."
Come on, please come in, why don’t you have a piece of money?”
"Mr. Qian and Vice President Wei will come right after the meeting. They will be there soon." Jiang Xiaoyan was very happy to see Zhao Yanran and praised: "Sister Zhao, isn't she beautiful?"
"I just put on make-up today, so I don't look as good as you."
"Just dress up casually to look good. Last time I had a drink with you, you didn't wear makeup. Today Lu Feng is here and you dress up. What do you want to do?" Jiang Xiaoyan joked.
Zhao Yanran laughed loudly and glanced at Lu Feng. She really had this intention. Lu Feng had an indescribable charm and was still young.
She had more contact with Jiang Xiaoyan. Judging from Jiang Xiaoyan's clothing and food expenses, Zhao Yanran felt that Jiang Xiaoyan was a rich girl and Lu Feng was just a freeloader.
Jiang Xiaoyan takes care of everything in the factory and doesn't let Lu Feng get involved at all. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense.
If Jiang Xiaoyan ran out of money, Lu Feng would naturally leave. She didn't mean to have a future with Lu Feng, she just wanted to have fun for a few days. After all, there were not many men who could make her feel itchy.
The two sat down and chatted endlessly, from shoes to skirts to cosmetics. Lu Feng sat next to him and couldn't say a word, so he could only keep drinking tea.
Ten minutes later, Qian Nana and Wei Yandan walked in and started ordering. They both said it was three women in a show, let alone four women today.
From ordering to serving food to eating, Lu Feng said thank you to the waiter. The jumping topics they talked about made Lu Feng a little overwhelmed.
They were still talking about yoga before, but the conversation changed to gynecological diseases. Even Wei Yandan was chatting so enthusiastically, talking about some changes in her body, that Lu Feng felt a little embarrassed when he listened.
After almost finishing the meal and communicating about the condition, Jiang Xiaoyan took the lead and asked: "Sister Zhao, what's going on with that big order you mentioned?"
"If you didn't ask, I almost forgot. It's like this. I have an old customer who orders a batch of lipsticks every year. The quantity is very large. I got an order last month and I'm busy recently.
, I can’t use my hands now.” Zhao Yanran said with regret on her face: “I used to make some money, but now I have no choice, so I just want to ask you.”
"Really? Thank you so much, Sister Zhao." Jiang Xiaoyan was overjoyed. This was like pie in the sky, and it just hit her on the head.
"This customer is from overseas. I also told him about your situation. This time I have caught you and I want a batch of good quality goods. But I have to tell you in advance. The profit is not high. At most, you can give me
Your profit margin is 15%." Zhao Yanran said.
"It's okay, it's pretty good. It's a big order after all. When will we meet?" Jiang Xiaoyan said excitedly.
"He is overseas. He used to call me because he is an old customer and he may not be able to come back these days. I will give you the production standards tomorrow and you will start the production first."
Wei Yandan frowned and realized that something was not right, so she hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, how can we sign a contract if he can't come back? You have to give a deposit as well. Where can you produce without giving a deposit, let alone such a large order?
The deposit needs to be increased, and you have to pay 50% before production can begin."
"I know him quite well, and we didn't even ask for a deposit. I was also scared when we cooperated in the first year, but there was a shortage of orders at that time, so I gritted my teeth and made it. Unexpectedly, I became a regular customer. This is how business is. What you need is sincerity.
Sincerely." Zhao Yanran said eloquently: "It's not that he said he wouldn't give a deposit, but that it would be very troublesome to transfer money back to the country from an overseas account."
"It doesn't matter, we can open an account in Xiangjiang, convert the overseas funds into Hong Kong dollars and transfer them to the account in Xiangjiang, and the process can be completed successfully in one day." Wei Yandan said.
"We are all old customers, why would we go to Xiangjiang? That's not the case, besides, you need local identity information to open an account there, right?" Zhao Yanran smiled a little stiffly.
Wei Yandan felt that there was something wrong with this order. Judging from the way she blocked it, there was a big problem. In addition, it was incredible that she gave the large order to Jiang Xiaoyan just because there was no time for production.
"The accounts there are not very troublesome. You can find someone to open an account for 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. You don't even have to go there, you can just call and someone will do it."
Lu Feng sat there drinking tea and listened to their conversation. Wei Yandan just felt that there was something wrong with this order, but Lu Feng already understood what Zhao Yanran wanted to do.
You know, Lu Feng once opened a canning workshop.
The most important thing for a small business is the capital chain. Once there is a problem with the capital chain, you will have to sell at a low price. The most common case that crushes small and medium-sized enterprises is the backlog of goods.
Lu Feng has heard of many such disgusting companies. They specifically look for medium-sized companies to place orders and produce according to their own requirements. They push back and forth for opportunities and tamper with contracts or design drawings. The order-taking companies think that there is an opportunity to make a fortune.
Use all assets to produce.
After production is completed, people come to trouble with the design drawings or contracts. They don’t want the goods, and they don’t want the deposit either.
Small and medium-sized enterprises have relatively few funds and are directly crushed. Since the products are customized and no one else can take over, they can only sell them as scrap products. At this time, a company will jump out and take over the products at a price slightly higher than the scrap products.
There are too many such dirty tricks. Lu Feng has seen many business leaders of small and medium-sized enterprises being forced to treat guests in various ways, and even kneel on the ground and kowtow.
"Okay, you are all sisters, and your relationship has reached this point." Lu Feng said: "Since Sister Zhao said there is no problem, then there must be no problem. Why go to Xiangjiang to open an account? It is very troublesome.
Hurt feelings.”
Everyone present did not expect Lu Feng to say this, and their faces were full of surprise. Wei Yandan stared at Lu Feng blankly. She didn't believe that Lu Feng didn't see that this was a trap, so why did he let his wife jump into it?
Zhao Yanran was also stunned. Lu Feng had already had a quarrel with her on the phone about the two tons of wax oil. Logically speaking, he should try his best to avoid any interaction with her, so why did he talk to her on her behalf?
What have you said?
There was a brief void at the dinner table. No one spoke for a full seven or eight seconds, and there was silence. Jiang Xiaoyan broke the situation by speaking.
"It doesn't seem appropriate to not have a deposit, right?" Jiang Xiaoyan also felt that this matter was a bit abrupt. At least you have to pay some money. If you don't want a penny, you are a fool.
She is kind-hearted and not an idiot.
"What kind of deposit do you need?" Lu Feng frowned and said to her: "Sister Zhao's relationship is a leverage one, so it's settled. Waiter, bring two bottles of beer over here, let's do one!"
Lu Feng didn't give Jiang Xiaoyan a chance and settled the matter directly.
When Wei Yandan saw Lu Feng being so decisive, she knew in her heart that he had already made up his mind, but what she couldn't figure out was how Lu Feng planned to fill this trap.
The beer was opened and each person had a glass. Everyone clinked the glasses and drank them all. The scene became lively again, but everyone had their own thoughts.
After dinner, Zhao Yanran sent Lu Feng and the others downstairs, and Lu Feng drove away in his car.
Qian Nana stood nearby and said, "Isn't this too simple? Sister Zhao, did you take down Lu Feng quietly?"
"Ah?" Zhao Yanran forced a smile and just asked her to go back and rest early.
Farewell to Qian Nana, Zhao Yanran wondered in her heart, is it possible that Lu Feng is really interested in her?
It's impossible. Not to mention how beautiful Jiang Xiaoyan is and she's younger than herself. Is it possible that today's little boys like heavy food?
She thought about it and thought that she might be lucky this year. The fortune teller said that she would have a partial fortune this year. Isn't this a partial fortune?
On the way back, Jiang Xiaoyan was a little unhappy sitting in the passenger seat. Her cheeks were bulging with anger and she looked very cute. Lu Feng turned his head and glanced at her, poked her face with his finger and said, "Drums up."
What are you doing with your cheeks open?"
"You're angry. Why are you meddling in the factory's affairs? Why don't you ask me to handle it? How can we produce such a big order without a deposit?" Jiang Xiaoyan said dissatisfied.
"I don't think it's appropriate either." Wei Yandan said.
"Oh, we are all friends. Don't make money, you bastard. Don't worry, don't be angry, don't be angry." Lu Feng freed up a hand and rubbed her little head.
"Oh, you!" Jiang Xiaoyan was embarrassed by him and said, "I'm not a child, and Mr. Wei is still here."
"It's okay, you two just pretend I'm not here." Wei Yandan said with a smile, "I can close my eyes."
