Chapter 421: Someone Offers Business Proactively
The next day, Huang Xiaochuan went to the animal hospital to visit Xiao Gun, who was under observation there. When Xiao Gun saw Huang Xiaochuan, he happily moved his head and wagged his tail, whimpering softly.
Huang Xiaochuan patted Xiao Gun's head and praised, "Not bad, not bad. When you get home, I'll treat you to a big meal to help you recover, and then we'll go on a blind date and I'll find you a beautiful wife, okay?"
Xiao Gun tried to lick Huang Xiaochuan's hand with his tongue, but Huang Xiaochuan stopped him decisively. Good heavens, this big mouth had just bitten off that thief's little penis not long ago. Now it was trying to lick Huang Xiaochuan's hand with its tongue. Huang Xiaochuan felt disgusted.
The veterinarians at the animal hospital were completely stunned by Huang Xiaochuan's words: "Getting a wife for a dog?"
A few days later, Huang Xiaochuan personally led a group to pick up Xiao Gun.
They thought the matter was over and the family had returned to normal life.
One afternoon in August, a thunderstorm had just passed. The short-lived strong winds and rain dispelled the high temperatures that had accumulated all day, bringing a rare touch of coolness to the summer.
Because the office was separated from the workshop, it had no roof and shared a roof with the factory building. The factory building's roof was eight or nine meters above the ground, so naturally, the office could not be equipped with air conditioning and could only rely on electric fans to cool down.
Zeng Jiahua squatted at the workshop entrance, enjoying the gentle breeze, feeling quite content.
Lighting a cigarette makes it even more comfortable!
"Factory manager, someone is looking for you outside."
Who is it?
"I don't recognize him, but he looks quite impressive. He arrived in a Mercedes-Benz, accompanied by several people."
Zeng Jiahua stood up and walked towards the factory gate.
"My surname is Fu, Fu Wen. I am sorry to bother Mr. Zeng today."
After shaking hands with the man who claimed to be a Hong Kong businessman, Zeng Jiahua took the business card from him.
"Board Secretary of Hong Kong Hongsheng Group?" Zeng Jiahua read the words on the business card aloud.
At this moment, a woman who had been standing next to Fu Hongwen said, "This is the board secretary of our Hongsheng Group."
"Company secretary?" Zeng Jiahua thought to himself, "It's just a secretary, why act like a boss?"
"Oh! May I ask what brings you here?"
"Mr. Zeng, it's getting late. Why don't we find a place where I'll pay and we can talk while we eat?"
Zeng Jiahua looked at the group suspiciously. They had come all the way to his factory to invite him to dinner; there must be something wrong with that.
I know my own limitations. With a lack of business, my factory can only maintain normal operations. Besides, I'm the one who treats others to meals for business purposes; I've never seen anyone come to me to invite me to dinner.
"There's no need for dinner. Secretary Fu, please feel free to speak your mind."
Seeing that Zeng Jiahua refused to have dinner with him, Fu Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, you may not understand! We Hong Kong people are used to discussing business over meals, because eating together can improve the relationship between the two parties, and the success rate of the deal will naturally be higher!"
"Business?" Zeng Jiahua became interested only after hearing that it was business.
"Yes! This is a big deal, let's go! You choose the place, and I'll pay the bill, okay? If it's inconvenient for you to go alone, you can bring a few more people with you. It's fine, I'll pay for everything."
Fu Wen saw through Zeng Jiahua's thoughts at a glance.
Zeng Jiahua also had his pride, so he turned to the person in the reception room and said, "Make a call and have A Liang bring the car over."
Then, turning to Fu Wen, he said, "Secretary Fu, have your car follow behind mine. I'll take you to a place to try authentic Shanghai cuisine. Since you're here, you're guests, so you don't need to pay; it's on me!"
After Zeng Jiahua got into the car, he instructed A Liang: "Go to Huichun Restaurant in Qingpu County."
In 1996, Qingpu had not yet been changed from a county to a district, so it still used its old name, Qingpu County.
After a few drinks, Fu Wen explained his purpose.
"Mr. Zeng, we have learned by chance that you have a collection of coins from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Coincidentally, our Chairman of the Board, Mr. Fang, is also a well-known coin collector. He is very interested in Mr. Zeng's collection and hopes to have some exchanges with Mr. Zeng on coins."
Zeng Jiahua thought to himself, "Here we go again, this is never going to end!"
However, seeing that the other party was speaking politely, he exchanged a few more words with them.
"Secretary Fu, you may have the wrong person. I really don't have those things you're talking about. I'm just someone who runs a small factory and does some small business. How could I have such things? The Shanghai Antique Shop should have those things. You might as well go there and take a look."
Fu Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, you are too modest. I really didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Xuan family. That's why we are even more certain that we have not made a mistake in choosing you."
"Xuan family? What Xuan family? My surname is Zeng, okay?" Zeng Jiahua got a little angry when the other party changed his surname without asking any questions.
Seeing that Zeng Jiahua was angry, Fu Wen quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly, but your maternal grandmother's surname is Xuan, that's correct, isn't it?"
Seeing that the other party was always polite and was from Hong Kong, Zeng Jiahua, thinking of leaving room for maneuver, did not immediately serve tea to see the guest off, thinking that after this meal, everyone would be well.
Therefore, Zeng Jiahua neither confirmed nor denied Fu Wen's words. In fact, to be honest, Zeng Jiahua really didn't know his maternal grandmother's surname, and he had almost no memory of his maternal grandmother.
Many people may have had this experience: not being able to remember the names of their grandparents.
"Secretary Fu, please go back and tell your leader that I really don't have the currency he's asking for. Considering you're compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Mr. Zeng, could you please let me say a few words?"
Zeng Jiahua raised his hand: "Please speak!"
"If, and I mean if, Mr. Zeng has these coins, you might as well meet with our Chairman Fang. Our Chairman Fang is a person who really enjoys making friends. I see that your small factory doesn't seem to have much business. If you get to know our Chairman Ni, your orders might be so plentiful that you won't be able to keep up with them."
"Secretary Fu, that's really a pity. Let me say it again, I really have no use for those coins you mentioned. However, if you're willing to introduce some business to me, I'd be very happy to do so. And the quality and quantity are guaranteed. We can sit down and discuss the price."
Seeing that Zeng Jiahua was so meticulous, Fu Wen wasn't annoyed at all. In his view, as long as the communication was in place, anything could be negotiated. There were very few things in this world that money couldn't solve. If there were, it was because the money wasn't paid in enough.
"Business? No problem. To show our sincerity, I'll have someone contact you in the next few days. Let's sit down and talk!"
Zeng Jiahua was stunned. He hadn't expected that the other party would actually want to get him some business.
This was the first time he had encountered something like this, and he had no experience with it. However, he had once joked with his friends about sugar-coated bullets when he was young, which was that you eat the sugar and then spit the bullet back.
Or should I do it myself?
Zeng Jiahua had a little ulterior motive. It was all because of the pressure from the loan to buy the equipment. He thought about it every day as soon as he opened his eyes. It was really annoying!
