1987: Sleepless Tonight

"That's right, it's at Qingchuan Hotel." Yang Bin nodded.

Lu Hao nodded, he guessed it should be Qingchuan Hotel.

The Second Beverage Factory has the background of a state-owned unit, and is the leader in the beverage industry in Jiangcheng. Moreover, this distributor conference is a self-proclaimed pioneer. It has invited so many units with great backgrounds, and even various departments of Jiangcheng. It was a grand occasion. , itself is very worthy of publicity, and I will definitely choose a place with a face-to-face as the venue for the dealer conference.

Qingchuan Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice.

"I see, I will go there tomorrow." Lu Hao said.

The director of Jiangcheng TV Station and Director Wang Huaiju of the Radio and Television Bureau have done a good job of keeping secrets. Yang Bin and Li Guangcai seem to know nothing about it.

Lu Hao was in a very good mood. He grabbed the Chinese cigarettes on the table, shook out two cigarettes, gave one to Li Changhe and Yang Bin, and even lit them himself.

"The two of you have worked really hard for this dealer meeting, and you must have been tired. Especially these two days, it will be even harder. With so many people coming, just arranging food and lodging is a very cumbersome thing. It has to be comprehensive, and can't make people feel left out, while spending energy, you also have to spend money." Lu Hao said.

Li Changhe and Yang Bin looked at each other.

very puzzled.

How did Lu Hao become so polite?

He would actually worry about them.

Yang Bin even put the cigarette in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, wondering if Lu Hao had put sweat medicine in the cigarette.

"It does cost a lot of energy and money. Most of the dealers are from Jiangcheng, but a large part of them come from counties and cities in the province, including some units from outside the province." Li Changhe didn't want to be in front of Lu Hao. Lost momentum.

He smoked a cigarette generously, and then said, "The local dealers in Jiangcheng, the personnel of various units, just arrange for them to have a meal, but the personnel from other counties and cities in Jiangcheng, as well as personnel from various units outside the province, If they can’t go back that day, they have to arrange their accommodation, and there will be more than one meal, which costs a lot.”

"Then I have to thank you for them. You have considered everything carefully." Lu Hao said.

He asked one more question, "The dealer conference is at Qingchuan Hotel, and the board and lodging are also at Qingchuan Hotel, right?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The dealer meeting was held at the Qingchuan Hotel, so why not go to another place for dinner? Of course, you also lived at the Qingchuan Hotel. Do you think that the state-owned unit will be like you, so stingy? You were When the distributor conference was held, it was held in Yujin Restaurant, and it was petty and earned so much money, but the dealer conference was still held in Yujin Restaurant." Yang Bin said.

Seizing the opportunity, he wanted to shit on Lu Hao's head.

"I can't help it. I'm a private company. I'm not as well-established as a state-owned company, and the accounts are very clear." Lu Hao said, "It's not like a state-owned company. Some accounts are unclear, and the money is not my own. It’s like being extravagant, you don’t feel bad at all, you eat well, live well, arrange the big guys in such a good place, and you can still be praised by them and get a good reputation for generosity.”

Spend other people's money, make money, or satisfy your own appetite.

Why not?

These words are full of sarcasm, but the actual situation is indeed the case.

Eating and drinking with public funds is common.

"Boss Lu, you don't have to be so angry. Spending more money now is to make more money in the future." Li Changhe said, "If the money is spent on distributors, they will be able to order more sodas and send sodas from the second factory to Jiangcheng. , Expansion outside the province, the money spent is worth it.”

"At the same time, this is also establishing the image of Beverage Factory No. [-]. Beverage Factory No. [-] is such a big company, so many distributors come here, and the units are quite large. It is impossible to settle them down in a small restaurant. It must be It is in Qingchuan Hotel, and one more point, the Second Beverage Factory is a state-owned unit, and Qingchuan Hotel is also a state-owned unit. Qingchuan Hotel has ordered a lot of soft drinks from the Second Factory, and we go to it to consume. Peach, it should be rewarded with plum.”

The logic in Li Changhe's words is quite good, and he directly found a very appropriate excuse for this kind of behavior. Even if this matter is brought out, he still has reasons and evidence, and he will not follow the truth.

"So that's the case." Lu Hao suddenly realized, "There is some truth in what Director Li said."

He said so, but Lu Hao sneered in his heart. It was because there were too many people with Li Changhe's thoughts that many state-owned units were brought down.

Obviously, the benefits are quite good, but there is not much money in the unit's account, and it even loses money every year. What Li Changhe said is just a fig leaf for eating and drinking with peace of mind.

Just like eating, shark fin bird's nest can fill the stomach, but it is not only shark fin bird's nest to fill the stomach.

"Boss Lu, Director Yang and I came here not to quarrel with you, but to invite you. Tomorrow's dealer conference will arrange you in the front seat, and the people sitting next to you are also representatives of large units. There will be many acquaintances of yours, such as the supply and marketing cooperatives, the grain bureau, and the municipal commercial committee, who will go there." Li Changhe said, "It will definitely be very lively, and you can catch up with people you know. Whether you plan to go there alone, or bring your wife and children, including your father-in-law, and Huang Minghua, you can take them with you."

"Are there so many positions?" Lu Hao asked.

"Of course, even if there is no seat, I will arrange a seat for you, Boss Lu, and make room for other people to arrange for you, including the people you bring, and they will also provide seats." Li Changhe said.

"Boss Lu, have you seen it? Director Li respects you enough, right? Others don't have this kind of treatment." Yang Bin said beside him.

Asking Lu Hao to bring more people there is not for respect, but for embarrassing Lu Hao in front of more acquaintances.

Lu Hao smiled, "Thank you for your respect, please arrange 20 seats for me."

???

!!!

"Lu Hao, are you crazy? There are 20 seats, why do you need so many seats?" Yang Bin couldn't help exclaiming.

Even if they wanted to bring people there, they would only bring four or five people. This was what Yang Bin and Li Changhe thought, and it was very likely that Lu Hao would not bring him there alone, but he didn't expect that Lu Hao would open his mouth and ask for 20 seats.

"What can you do with a seat? Of course, sit." Lu Hao said.

"Do you have so many people to bring there?" Li Changhe asked.

"Yes." Lu Hao began to snap his fingers, "wife, child, and younger sisters, including the father-in-law, mother-in-law, Huang Minghua, and some other friends I know."

"It's such a big event, and it's held in the Qingchuan Hotel. It's good to take them there to experience it."
