Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Now it was necessary to inquire about Dong Ge's sales performance, so Gao Hongda dialed his phone number. The other party's tone was very excited and he couldn't wait to report the situation without waiting for questions: After the arrival of [-] sets of products, they have not even left Zhongguancun. , tens of thousands of copies were snapped up by his colleagues who burned CDs. The original CD street had all its signboards changed, and switched to the business of converting CDs to USB flash drives. He spread all the USB flash drives to all the electronic markets in the capital. This era-changing Lenovo's products are more popular in the market. Although Lenovo has the supply, it does not sell them individually. It only gives a USB flash drive when you buy a computer. Now many sellers have approached Dongge to discuss cooperation.

Liu Meng complained: "You are too lazy. You can open up sales yourself, but you have to let outsiders do it. Isn't this throwing money away?"

What she said made sense, and I really didn’t know how to answer it for a moment. I couldn’t clearly say that Dong Ge, who was down and out today, would be an Internet super boss in the future.

Roman explained for him: "Only by giving profits to dealers can we maximize their enthusiasm. This is a healthy cooperation. We do not rule out the possibility of competition with similar products in the future. It is very necessary to cultivate loyal dealers."

After all, they are highly educated people who can see things very thoroughly in one go and analyze things impeccably.

Gao Hongda comforted him and said: "The future market will be so big that we can't even estimate it. There's nothing wrong with my senior's idea. Our team also needs to increase our income. While doing our job well, I don't object to everyone becoming a distributor of our own company." "

Roland immediately interrupted Gao Hongda's words and said sternly: "Now is the time to employ people. Wait until the company stabilizes before saying this. Even if someone wants to be an agent, they must leave the company. I won't explain the reasons. , we are a company, not a government department. As managers, we must not use power for personal gain!"

Gao Hongda said directly: "I was hasty! Do as you say. I always feel that if you follow me, I have the responsibility to make you earn more! It's not as serious as you said."

Liu Meng also said: "I blame me for talking too much. I'm not jealous. I am very confident in our milk tea project. In the future, we will make less money than selling USB flash drives. Don't worry about us! If everyone has to look forward to Shu, this will No one will do the hard work!" Then she asked carefully in a questioning tone: "Brother Liang was not injured this time, was he? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Gao Hongda asked: "Why don't you call in person?"

Liu Meng lowered his head with a sad expression, and said with a wry smile: "He doesn't want to tell me anything, so why should I wishful thinking?"

Gao Hongda was also infected by her emotions. No one can judge whether Liang Ge's choice is right or wrong, because no one can empathize with his pain and hatred. You can say that he is selfish, or paranoid, or ignorant, but you can't It is said that he is heartless and unjust, but he has abandoned too many other emotions for hatred.

They were originally talking about work, but as soon as the topic was brought up, the atmosphere became a bit depressing. Gao Hongda quickly changed the subject and pointed the finger at Roman. He asked seriously: "Roman, what are your plans for marriage?"

Roman's mouth dropped, and he stopped talking. Roland was very annoyed when he saw his constipation, so he answered for him: "It's not that his girlfriend has no opinion and insists on listening to her family. It was originally agreed that they would stay and develop together in the north, but later I heard You are still a young boy who is less than twenty years old when I work with you, uncle. Master, don’t be angry with me. It’s not me who said it, it was my family who said it. My parents said that you must join a state-owned enterprise or take the civil service exam. The small grocery store is unreliable! Otherwise, we would not agree to the marriage of the two of them!"

Gao Hongda was so angry that he slammed the table, almost jumped up, and shouted: "Oh, let me go, this is not embarrassing for you, it is obviously looking down on me! It seems that I am keeping a low profile! If I guessed correctly, Their family probably has other conditions."

Roman said depressedly: "She wants a bride price of [-] yuan, and she also wants to buy a wedding house for her brother in her hometown. When her brother gets married, she will also get a bride price of at least [-] yuan for her brother!"

Gao Hongda smiled disdainfully and then asked: "What does your girlfriend think?"

Roland curled his lips and imitated with a very mean and exaggerated expression: "People have said that I am only a younger brother. If I, as a sister, don't help him, who else can help him? My parents only have a daughter, and I have to support them so much. It’s big, and it’s for schooling, but it’s really not easy, what’s the matter with getting some betrothal gifts?”

Gao Hongda couldn't help but curse again next time: "Damn, you're a typical supporter!"

The three people asked in unison: "What kind of devil?"

I remembered that in this era, the word had not yet come out, so I explained: "It means crazy helping my younger brother! If it were me, I wouldn't want a wife like this. Even if I get married in the future, I will inevitably have a lot of trouble." , once the younger brother gets used to taking benefits from his elder sister and brother-in-law, it will be useless in the future, and your life will not be easy! I am not being alarmist, although I am younger than you, but I have a very accurate grasp of human nature! Roman, what do you mean? Do you want to marry her only?"

Roman was silent for a few seconds and then replied in a low voice: "It would be a lie to say that the two of us have no feelings. We have been together for three years. Her college tuition and living expenses were all paid for by my scholarship and part-time work. I want to let I’m really unwilling to give up!”

Gao Hongda nodded at the table and said, "If it's just a matter of money, there's no need to mention it anymore. I'll ask you, are you unwilling to be more willing or more emotional?"

This question might be harsh to Roman, and it was difficult for him to answer it for a while.

Gao Hongda answered for him: "You are unwilling. You think that a three-year relationship should not be measured by money. The relationship has reached the point where marriage can be discussed, but the woman wants to use this relationship to make a deal. You Do you feel threatened?"

Roland nodded.

Gao Hongda continued: "It seems that I guessed it right! You should give the bride price. This is the custom and the face of your Luo family. However, your girlfriend's ideas and attitude are very wrong. Has your girlfriend ever said that if If you can’t meet her conditions, will you never get married?”

Roman nodded again.

Gao Hongda leaned back on the sofa and continued his analysis: "The excuses such as the job being unsatisfactory are all excuses! A senior intellectual has gone to school for so many years, and all the books have gone to his stomach! Roman, what are you doing now? Just make a phone call and agree to the conditions proposed by her family. I'll bet you that she will make other conditions for you! Fight now!"

Roman obediently took out his cell phone and made a call, turned on the speakerphone, gritted his teeth and said: "I agree to all these conditions of your family, but I want to make my own decisions about work. The treatment here is no worse than that of state-owned enterprises. Civil servants earn a lot!”

His girlfriend's lukewarm voice came from the phone: "As long as your family can meet our family's requirements, the job is almost okay, as long as you can make money, my brother and his girlfriend want to buy a car, you now There is a company giving you a car, so there is no need to buy a car yourself for the time being. I think we can buy him a car worth about [-] yuan, but we can’t buy it too good! We can’t spoil him!”

After hearing this, Gao Hongda spread his hands, meaning: Look, I won the bet!

Roman felt a little helpless and raised his head to ask his uncle for advice.

Gao Hongda took the phone and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I don't know how to call you. I am Roman's uncle and his boss. First of all, I would like to thank you for agreeing to let Roman develop in the north with me. I can guarantee that you will not treat him badly." He is not making empty promises. I want to ask you, girl, you are only thinking about your brother, have you ever thought about your own future? "

The girl said happily: "Of course I have thought about it. It is because I know that you have not treated him badly and that he will make a lot of money by following you in the future, so I dare to let him boldly help my brother. My brother is now a grown-up, and there are also many people in the family." If you’re rushing to get married, you can’t afford a car or a house!”

Gao Hongda laughed angrily: "Girl, there is not a single word in what you said just now that I can tell you are thinking about your own future! You think of yourself as your brother's cash cow!"

The person on the phone was still stubborn: "I am the only younger brother. If I don't help him, who will?"

Gao Hongda said seriously: "Let's do this. I also hope that your lives will be harmonious in the future. Just tell me a number. As long as I can come up with it, I will never be vague. The premise is that I will buy out your relationship and never be able to do it again." Will you continue to devote yourself to your brother unconditionally?"

There were sounds of chaotic discussions and quarrels from the other side. A few minutes later, Roman's girlfriend replied: "I know that you are not short of money, uncle, and I don't want more, just two million! I want my brother to Open a company. My betrothal gift is calculated separately, including a car and a house, and it must be a house in the capital!"

The four people on the phone looked at each other in confusion, Roman's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his fists clenched loudly. Roland couldn't help it anymore and shouted directly: "Why don't you go and rob it? Do you think you are making a wish in the temple? It's not worth two million to dismantle you and sell your parts!"

The person on the other end of the phone didn't give in, and came straight over: "Roland, right? You're going to get married sooner or later. Don't worry about your mother's family's affairs! You're just an outsider!"

Roland was so angry that he stamped his feet.

Gao Hongda smiled instead of getting angry, and said calmly: "Is your brother's wife here?"

The other person on the phone said: "I happened to be negotiating terms with them today. Just tell me. I can hear you hands-free!"

Gao Hongda raised his voice and said, "Well, girl, I have an idea. If we provide these conditions directly to your family, can we skip the middleman and marry my nephew directly? How about that? The young man is very talented. The promising one is tall and handsome, as you heard, has a good temper and loves his wife!"

When Roland and Liu Meng heard this, they almost stopped laughing. They turned around and covered their mouths to try not to make any sound. It was very hard.

The roar of Roman's girlfriend came from the other side: "I call you uncle, just to give you face. You are just a young boy, why are you pretending to be so big? Let Roman speak, is he dead? He has no masculinity at all, I am so blind that I am able to fall in love with you! I actually collaborate with outsiders to bully me!"

Roman couldn't bear it any longer and started scolding: "You bitch, I'm sorry for you. When you go to school, you eat my food, wear my clothes, and I pay for the tuition. Do you think I'm being taken advantage of?"

A snorting voice came from the phone: "That's what you want, and I'm not forcing you! I'm telling you, without you, the boyfriend I would find would definitely be better than you. Just look at the kind of family you have, your dad will know Someone who dances with a gun has no future, and your mother is just a rural woman with no manners and a bumpkin! How much do you think I care about your family? I’ll tell you clearly now, if we don’t take out the money, we’ll be doomed!”

Roman was so angry that he picked up his phone and was about to throw it down, but Gao Hongda snatched it away and said to it: "Then I hope you can reach the top soon! If you come to harass Roman again, I won't say harsh words, I can make your whole family No peace! One hundred thousand dollars may not afford you a wife, but it can make your life worse than death! If nothing else, I will die!"

He hung up the phone, threw the phone to Roman, and immediately said to Liu Meng: "Sister, put down what you are doing and give you a task. Take Roman to go on a blind date with your team. Those girls brought by Brother Liang have experienced Through the mental torture of MLM, we can better understand the true meaning of life, understand the warmth and warmth of human feelings, and know how to love others. We do not require too high academic qualifications. We only require kindness, good looks, and a gentle personality, and can be a wise man to Roman. Just be a helper!"

Liu Meng rolled her eyes at him, nodded and said, "Okay, this is a small matter. We have more than a hundred young girls here! As long as Brother Luo Man takes a fancy to her, he can pursue it himself! Let's not do arranged marriages!"

Gao Hongda kicked the stunned Roman and asked: "Do you understand? You must get married within half a year! Are you confident?"

Before Roman could fully react to the pain just now, he said in a daze: "I think that Meng Linlin is pretty good. The little girl has a good temper, is very gentle, and loves to laugh..."

In Gao Hongda's heart, ten thousand alpacas ran over. You said you can't choose anyone, but why did you choose her? ? This girl has behaved inappropriately with me. He couldn't say this, otherwise he would be spurned by the three people in front of him, and a marriage might be ruined.

So he reminded: "She may have had some unpleasant experiences before!"

Roman became energetic, shook his head and said, "I don't care about her past, I only care about the future!"

Gao Hongda waved his hand helplessly and said: "Okay, you can make up your own mind! As I said, the house and car are mine! Also, if necessary, you can get in the car first and pay for the ticket later!"

Roland glanced sideways at Gao Hongda and teased: "You are young and have a bad mind. Who did you learn this from? I seriously doubt that you are a person who has traveled through time in the future! You are as big as a brat!"

Gao Hongda's heart trembled, wasn't it? He was discovered?

Roland's next words reassured him: "If it weren't for your poor management skills, I would be sure! The only thing that is certain now is that you are an upstart!"

Gao Hongda laughed and laughed at himself and said: "I am a man who only wants money! Problems that can be solved by money are not problems. If I were still a pauper, I would not dare to go to the toilet!"

Roman asked: "Why!?"

"Afraid of getting hungry quickly!"

Roman laughed loudly, and the two girls suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing around them. This joke was so cold!
