Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 244 Director Li’s Courage

In the office, Xu Damao continued to talk: "I'm telling you, Lao Wang, if you want to decide on a partner, you have to take three steps."

“First, speak ill of your competitors and, at the same time, promote yourself.

Second, take girls shopping, eat and drink well,

After the first two steps are completed, the girl will generally not resist you, and then you can take her to a hotel and do the deed."

"Of course, this is just a general idea. It's not that simple to implement."

"First of all, it's not easy to choose the right person. Like Qin Huairu mentioned before, no matter how good the food you take her to, it's useless because she will forget about it as soon as she turns around."

……

Wang Hongtao found it very interesting to hear Xu Damao bragging in front of him, so he did not dare to interrupt him and just kept nodding along, allowing Xu Damao to enjoy his bragging to his heart's content.

“Tuk tuk tuk…”

"Is Brother Wang here?"

Secretary Zhang's voice came from the door.

"here I am."

Wang Hongtao ran over and opened the door.

"Secretary Zhang wants to see me?"

Zhang Cheng nodded: "Director Li asked me to call you over, but I don't know what it is about."

Wang Hongtao patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder: "Good boy, you learn very quickly!"

From Xiao Wang to Brother Wang, from pushing the door to knocking on the door, and from Deputy Director Li to Director Li.

After following Wang Hongtao, Zhang Cheng changed a lot.

Hearing Wang Hongtao praising Zhang Cheng, he scratched his head and said, "I was not used to it at first, but I got used to it slowly."

"Brother Wang, you are right. After listening to you, my colleagues are now very enthusiastic towards me."

"Brother Damao, you are busy by yourself. I don't know what's going on with Director Li. He just keeps looking for me every day. It's so annoying!"

Xu Damao looked at Wang Hongtao's back as he left, feeling extremely angry: You bastard, he's acting so smart again!

……

Walking into Director Li's office, Li Huaide first asked his secretary to step aside, then he smiled and took out a pack of white-shell cigarettes from the drawer, wrapped it in newspaper and handed it to Wang Hongtao.

"This is God's answer to you, keep it!"

After Wang Hongtao took it in a frivolous manner, he added, "Only half of it is special supply. I will fill the rest for you with ordinary goods."

"My father-in-law doesn't have much in total, and you know my position in the family. This is already my limit."

Wang Hongtao gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Director Li, you are so open-minded. It is so refreshing to work with you!"

Li Huaide laughed, sat down and leaned back in his chair: "You kid, you're just pretending to be nice to me."

"How's the medicine going? How many pills have you got?"

Wang Hongtao lowered his head in shame: "I begged and pestered them for a long time but I only got five pills.

The old Chinese doctor said that what we gave him before was all inventory. Once the inventory is sold out, if you want more, you have to make it now, and it’s hard to get the ingredients for making it now!"

In order to make the medicine appear rare, Wang Hongtao specially added ginseng into it, giving it a strong medicinal flavor.

So Li Huaide nodded in agreement after hearing this: "The better the things are, the rarer they are. It would be wrong if they could be supplied in unlimited quantities!"

"But this is the only way to show your ability!"

Wang Hongtao naturally understood what Li Huaide meant: "Director Li, I understand what you mean. From my perspective, I would rather buy ten than eight, but given the production volume, I have no other choice."

"The doctor already had a grudge against me for draining the patient inventory, and it was just me who was being shameless and coaxing him into submission."

"I have done a lot of favors for him, and I can't owe him favors in vain. If he has any problems in the future, I will still go all out to help him."

Wang Hongtao first pointed out the scarcity of the pills, and then changed the subject: "Of course, the material problem is not unsolvable. The main ingredients are ginseng, deer penis, and dog treasure. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, it is not difficult to find stocks."

"Supplies are scarce these days, and there will always be people who can't hide their belongings and will exchange them for other things."

Sure enough, Li Huaide narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Are you saying that if the conditions are relaxed and the chips are increased, we can get more?"

Wang Hongtao nodded: "How fresh is it?"

"I think there is nothing in this world that cannot be bought with money. If there is, it just means that the money spent is not enough."

Li Huaide agreed: "That makes sense. If the interests are in place, everything can be discussed."

"Come, let's sit down and talk."

Li Huaide personally made a cup of tea and handed it to Wang Hongtao, then asked with a smile: "Tell me what you need from the old Chinese doctor, I'll see if I can meet it."

Wang Hongtao nodded: "First of all, I have to make it clear to you that this is all my own guess and has not been verified."

"I think money and tickets come first at all times, and everyone likes these two things."

"He sold it to me for twenty or fifty before, but after seeing that I was eager to pay, he regretted it and wanted to raise the price. Of course, it is also possible that he found another buyer."

"It's a seller's market, and they have the final say on the price."

Li Huaide frowned: "It's fine if they just want to raise the price, as long as it's not too outrageous, we can accept it. I'm just worried that someone else will want to compete with us."

"You also said that this is a unique business. To put it bluntly, he can live without us, but we can't live without him."

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Isn't that right? It's hard to say whether there are other buyers, but it's clear that he doesn't want to sell it at the original price."

"If we want more, we have to raise the price until he is satisfied!"

"If he doesn't want to sell it for fifty, then what about eighty? One hundred? He must have an expectation in his mind, right?"

Li Huaide slammed the table and said, "You're right! There's only one reason why they don't want to sell it: they didn't pay enough!"

"A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem!"

"You are such a small king, so feel free to negotiate. The original price is fifty, and I will give you the right to increase it by three... no, fifty more."

"Talk to your best ability, and I'll give you whatever's left!"

Li Huaide didn't even ask for half of the lowered price. With this kid's personality, he would still dare to ask for eighty or ninety even though the price was negotiated down to sixty!

Instead of doing this, it would be better to just give it to him directly so that he can do his best.

What is money?

It is a tool and a bridge!

I, Li Huaide, try my best to make money, but isn't the ultimate goal to enjoy myself?

What you spend is called money, what you keep in your hand is called paper and is useless!

"Director Li is so courageous!"

Wang Hongtao suppressed his excitement and praised him. Then, as if he was thinking of Li Huaide, he suggested, "But Director Li, there is one thing we must pay attention to. People have no bottom line when they are greedy. So this time I must negotiate the price to him! In case he raises the price again!"

Li Huaide agreed: "That's right. Good things are expensive, that's fine. But you can't treat us as suckers and raise the price. You made a good point!"

"Anything else you've thought of?"

"It really does!"

Wang Hongtao rolled his eyes and said, "This is what I think. As of now, we have no say in this deal. They have the final say on how much and at what price they want to sell it."

"So I think in addition to money, we should also work harder in other areas."

"for example."

"Today's society is not very friendly to people like him. He lacks a sense of security and likes to hide from place to place. So we will prepare a few places for him to live."

"Of course, in order to avoid getting involved too much and causing trouble, we can put the house in our own name and only give them the right to use it. I think this is fine."

"For example: An old Chinese doctor can't just pop out of a crack in a rock, right? If he's a human being, he has relatives and friends."

"In this working-class age, jobs are scarce."

"It doesn't matter to us who we recruit. The key is to see how to recruit in our favor...right?"

Li Huaide slapped his thigh and said, "Xiao Wang, you are really good!"

"I'm in need of people like you who can get things done, can get things done, and can get things done well!"

"Business can end at any time. Only by mixing in human relationships can it last forever. Turning simple business into human relationships is the way to long-term success!"

"Just do as you say!"

"Don't bother two people with one thing. I'll find a few secluded houses and put them in your name. You can negotiate with the old Chinese doctor. I just want the result!"

"Also, don't be too sure about the job vacancies. First of all, the ingredients must stand the test, and secondly, they cannot violate principles." Li Huaide was worried that there might be problems with the ingredients introduced by the old Chinese doctor, so he reminded him in advance.

"Don't worry, Director Li. Don't you know who I am, Wang Hongtao? No one who can take advantage of me has been born yet!

Just wait and see, I promise to do the biggest thing with the smallest amount of money!"
