Only then did Zhou Liwen remember who the fat man standing in front of him was. "Haha, it turns out to be Director Liu. I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be a little taller." Zhou Liwen smiled and stretched out his hand to the other party, half-jokingly. "No, thank you for your help, Director Jay. Thanks to you, I, Liu, have been able to go smoothly these years and have a healthy heart and a healthy body." Liu Dahai smiled from ear to ear, stretched out his hands, and specifically pointed at Zhou Levin bent down and assumed a posture as if he was being received by the head of the central government. Thanks to his big belly, it was quite difficult to bend over. There were a few drops of sweat on the tip of his nose, but his whole face was smiling very happily. Liu Dahai¡¯s appearance stunned the female employee who had received Zhou Liwen before. You must know that Liu Dahai is the chairman of their company and a well-known local entrepreneur. Over the years, Liu Dahai's business has grown bigger and bigger, and his net worth has already exceeded hundreds of millions. Moreover, he still holds the title of deputy to the city's people's congress and serves as the president of the local chamber of commerce. To put it bluntly, in the local area, Liu Dahai is regarded as a big shot who can shock three people with one stamp of his feet. Even government officials such as the county party committee secretary and county magistrate are polite in front of Liu Dahai. What¡¯s more, everyone in the company knows that Liu Dahai, the boss, is not easy to take care of. Even though he is usually fat and strong and looks like an Amitabha Buddha, if he is strict, the general manager of the company will be pointed at and scolded by him. As for dealing with officialdom, except for some important officials, he didn't pay attention to ordinary people below the junior level. In her memory, she seemed to have seen Liu Dahai's current posture only when the secretary of the municipal party committee came to inspect the company's work. It's different, even a little more enthusiastic than when he treated the municipal party secretary. "It's strange, what is this young man's background? I heard the boss call him Director Jay? Is he also a big boss? But it's impossible for such a young boss? What's more, what if he is a bigger boss than the boss? Will you come to the exhibition alone, without even a secretary or anything?" While the female employee was secretly guessing about Zhou Liwen's identity, Liu Dahai noticed the disposable paper cup in Zhou Liwen's hand and immediately wrinkled. He frowned. "Xiao Ni, how can you pour this stuff for Jay Chou? Go to the back of the booth and bring a few cans of the juice I brought." Zhou Liwen couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. This Liu Dahai still has the same temper as before and has not changed at all. However, he did so with good intentions. Zhou Liwen quickly interjected, saying that he was thirsty and it was best to drink water to quench his thirst. He specifically asked Miss Ni for this water. As for juice, he didn't like it either. drink. "Director Jay Chou is still particular about it." Liu Dahai suddenly smiled and raised his thumbs at Zhou Liwen: "Drinking white water is good for health. I remember that Principal Chiang in modern history was used to drinking white water for health." After hearing this The female employee surnamed Ni was holding it in until her face turned red, she pursed her lips and almost laughed. This is the first time she has seen her boss like this. She has always heard him say that drinking red wine has good taste, but she has never heard of drinking boiled water to maintain health. This man is really good at changing, and such compliments come from his mouth. Come out. Zhou Liwen also felt it was funny secretly, but he would not deny what the other party said in front of Liu Dahai, he just laughed and said haha. "By the way, Director Jay, are you coming to the exhibition this time?" Liu Dahai asked curiously. He deliberately lowered his voice and his eyes were still wandering, as if he was guessing the reason why Zhou Liwen came here. He knows Zhou Liwen's identity. The other party is a world-famous rich man. Don't look at him. Liu Dahai is considered the number one figure in the local area. Compared with Zhou Liwen, to put it bluntly, Zhou Liwen just pulled out the hair on his legs. They are all thicker than his waist. In the past few years, Liu Dahai has been going smoothly, and his business has grown bigger and bigger. In the final analysis, it is thanks to Zhou Liwen. When he was in France, it was because of Zhou Liwen's words for him that Liu Dahai recovered his losses and key customers. He even got on Bell's boat because of Zhou Liwen. During the subsequent expansion, Bell's company took care of part of Liu Dahai's business. Later, after the Bell-Nokia joint company was established, Liu Dahai took this opportunity to get in touch with Nokia again, coupled with his good luck in the European market , which enabled him to obtain long-term and stable large orders, thus embarking on the path of rapid development. You must know that in the current world economic downturn, it is a miracle that Liu Dahai can actually grow bigger and bigger. In the eyes of outsiders, everyone only thinks that this is because of Liu Dahai's strong personal ability and good relations with Europe. But Liu Dahai himself knows very well that if Zhou Liwen had not appeared, he might have been ready to close down a few years ago. . Liu Dahai has always been grateful to Zhou Liwen, but he also knows how big the gap is between him and Zhou Liwen. With his identity and status, it is impossible to directly become friends with Zhou Liwen. The previous opportunities were just It's just the luck God gave him. But today, he himself didn't expect to meet Zhou Liwen here. While he was excited, he couldn't help but wonder about the reason why Zhou Liwen appeared here. Could it be?What business plan does Levin have? If this is the case, can Liu Dahai take another chance to try his luck? No need to eat meat, just drink some soup with Zhou Liwen, which is enough for Liu Dahai to enjoy endlessly. "Haha, don't think too much." Of course Zhou Liwen could guess the purpose of Liu Dahai's question. He said with a smile: "I have some personal matters in Shanghai. I happened to pass by here this afternoon. I saw the excitement here so I just came in and walked around. "Oh, that's right." Liu Dahai suddenly realized, but there was still some regret in his expression. But this regret was soon replaced by excitement. No matter what, it was his luck to see Zhou Liwen again today. "By the way, Director Jay, why are you staying?" Liu Dahai asked with a smile, pointing to the venue. "No more shopping, it's almost done." "So if Jay Chou didn't arrange it, can we have tea together?" Liu Dahai summoned up the courage to ask, his expression full of expectation. Zhou Liwen raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. It was already too late to have afternoon tea at this time. Besides, he remembered that there were no good teahouses nearby. After thinking about it, he shook his head. Seeing Zhou Liwen shaking his head, the disappointment that could not be concealed appeared in Liu Dahai's expression, but he still had a smile, but he was just a little regretful. But who would have thought that Zhou Liwen's next words made him overjoyed, because Zhou Liwen actually said that it would be dinner time in two hours, and it would not be inconvenient to drink tea at this time, so it was better to have a meal together. "No problem, no problem, I'll arrange it." Liu Dahai nodded ecstatically, and Zhou Liwen had dinner with him. If this news gets out, friends in the entire business world will be envious to death. How can Liu Dahai be so lucky? It seems that the feng shui of his ancestral tomb must be good and the smoke is coming out. As a domestic entrepreneur, Liu Dahai has been to Shanghai frequently, and he loves to eat. Otherwise, why would he have grown so fat? After asking Zhou Liwen if he didn't mind, Liu Dahai took the initiative and made arrangements. He made a phone call and quickly decided on a place to eat. The place was not far from where they were. It was a very good local restaurant. This The restaurant is very famous in Shanghai, but Zhou Liwen has never had the opportunity to go there. After hearing this, he smiled and nodded in agreement. After making an appointment, Zhou Liwen left first. Liu Dahai personally escorted Zhou Liwen out of the exhibition hall. On the way back to the exhibition hall, his steps were much brisker and he even hummed a ditty happily. "Xiao Ni" returned to the booth, and Liu Dahai raised his hand to call over the female employee surnamed Ni who had previously entertained Zhou Liwen: "I did a good job today, very good. I am very satisfied. I will go to the finance department tomorrow to pay the 66 yuan bonus. In addition, I will pay the bonus from below." Starting from this month, you will be promoted to supervisor and your salary will be raised by one level. You will be better in the future, do you understand?¡± ¡°Thank you, boss, thank you, boss.¡± The female employee surnamed Ni was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to Liu Dahai to express her gratitude. You must know that her monthly salary was only 36 yuan, and now she got a bonus of 66 yuan, and she was promoted and received a salary increase from next month. She was so happy. Who would have thought that just by receiving a guest, pouring him a glass of water, and letting him rest on an empty chair for a while, he would reap so many benefits. The female employee surnamed Ni sighed secretly at her luck, and at the same time she was more curious about Zhou Liwen's identity. Taking advantage of Liu Dahai's good mood, she quietly asked Zhou Liwen who he was. Unexpectedly, Liu Dahai just smiled and didn't answer, pointing to the sky with his stubby fingers. The female employee surnamed Ni nodded with half understanding and half confusion. After guessing for a long time, she suddenly realized that if she was right, this so-called Director Jay was probably a member of a big family in Beijing. Otherwise, how could her boss be so attentive? Woolen cloth. After leaving the exhibition hall, Zhou Liwen went to the nearby Jinjiang store and walked around. After buying some random gadgets, he checked that the time was almost up. By the time Zhou Liwen arrived at the appointed hotel, Liu Dahai had already arrived early and was standing at the door with his head stretched out, waiting for Zhou Liwen. Seeing Zhou Liwen coming, Liu Dahai enthusiastically led Zhou Liwen the way. They looked at the hotel doorman and were very unhappy. They felt that this fat man didn't have to be like this as a customer. This was not a pretentious act. Is it their job? After walking into the door, Zhou Liwen looked around. Although he had never been there, he still knew something about this place. The furnishings and decoration inside were very antique and had some Shanghai style. Zhou Liwen thought it was good. Liu Dahai has some connections here and specially booked the best private room. After walking into the private room, the two parties exchanged a few words. Zhou Liwen took the main seat, and Liu Dahai sat beside him. "Chou, I don't know what your taste is, so the chef in the store helped me make a menu. Can you take a look?" Liu Dahai picked up a menu that had been prepared long ago and asked with a smile. Zhou Liwen waved his hand and said: "I don't need to read it. Director Liu probably doesn't know it yet. I'm from Shanghai. This is a local restaurant. As long as it's local food, it's okay." "That's okay, then I'll do it. Arranged?" Liu Dahai said cheerfully.He nodded, stood up with the menu and gave it to the waiter waiting outside, then came back and sat down. "You smoke?" Liu Dahai took out a pack of 95 and gave Zhou Liwen one. "I said, Mr. Liu, we are old acquaintances. What's more, it's just the two of us now. You are always you and you are so polite. You won't feel comfortable eating later, right? I remember sitting on the plane. When we were together, Director Liu was very talkative. He was calling me brother or something. " "Haha, I didn't know your identity at that time. Besides, with your status in the business world, Director Zhou, how could I dare to call you that. You." Liu Dahai smiled sheepishly when he heard Zhou Liwen mention the past. "What do you dare to say? Brother Liu, let's not make false claims. It's not like you have never been in contact with me. To be honest, if you are not tired, I am still tired." Zhou Liwen shook his head and said . "This OK" Liu Dahai is a successful businessman after all. Seeing Zhou Liwen's support, he smiled and let go. Then he changed his name and called him Brother Zhou by his old name. Zhou Liwen no longer called him "Director Liu". Called brother. With this change of words, the politeness in the atmosphere weakened a lot, and the relationship between the two parties became much more casual. He lit the cigarette with the fire Liu Dahai handed him, Zhou Liwen took a puff, then looked at the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile: "This cigarette tastes good, but it's just a little weak. It's not cheap, right?" "It is indeed not cheap." Liu Dahai nodded and admitted: "Actually, I am not very used to this cigarette myself, but as you know, brother, doing business in China is different from that in foreign countries. People abroad focus on the company. Strength, quality and reputation. In China, what everyone looks at is your style, car and the woman next to you. If you drive an ordinary car, wear ordinary clothes, and smoke ordinary cigarettes to discuss business, you will be considered a good person. No matter how powerful you are, others won't believe it. This is the national situation in China. " "Hahaha, this is reasonable." Zhou Liwen suddenly laughed. Liu Dahai said it more honestly. This is indeed the case in domestic business. You are not good. Car, if you fail to show something that people can see, people will doubt your ability. It was not like this in Zhou Liwen's previous life. In order to negotiate a business and get the other party to do the project for him, he had to grit his teeth and buy a good car, get a good watch and other accessories even though he had no money. Isn't it just to give others A good impression? The same is true for the cigarettes they smoke now. In fact, Zhou Liwen knows a thing or two about the cost of this kind of cigarette. In terms of value, it cannot be sold that expensive at all, but the strange thing is that the more expensive cigarettes are sold, the more expensive the cigarettes are. The more people follow it, the more people follow it. In the domestic business world, it doesn't matter if you don't smoke. If you smoke, the cigarette you take out is just an ordinary cigarette, which will be looked down upon by others. "Business has been good in the past few years, right? What, now it has begun to transform into machinery?" Not long after, the cold dishes came. Zhou Liwen picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dishes. He felt that the dishes were really authentic, so he took the initiative to raise a glass to Liu Dahai touched the spray cup and Zhou Liwen asked with a smile. "It's not thanks to you, brother," Liu Dahai said sincerely: "If I hadn't said a few words to me in France and then introduced Mr. Bell to me, how would I have achieved what I have today. As for machinery, , Brother, you also know that I used to be in the product field and had my own factory. I am no stranger to machinery manufacturing. My business has been good over the years and I have made some money. A single product has too many limitations, and the global market is not very big now. Okay, so I have been thinking about exploring the domestic market while the company's business is still going well. In terms of machinery, it is a joint venture with a European company. I will try the water in China first, and if it is good, I will try it overseas. "Luck." "This is a good idea." Zhou Liwen nodded appreciatively: "Machinery is also a way to do it. If you have the capital and technology, it is still very profitable. And the demand in the Chinese market for machinery is very good. "Future." Liu Dahai was very happy after hearing this. He patted his thigh and said, "Brother, you support me in doing this. It seems that my choice is right. With you, brother, I am completely relieved." "Haha, I'm just speaking from one family. To be honest, this is my personal view on the market. You also know that what I do has nothing to do with machinery. I am a layman in terms of machinery." "No, no," Liu Dahai shook his head again and again. He said seriously: "Brother, I know your abilities very well. It's true that you said you don't understand machinery, but you know everything about this business. It's just that the product categories are different. With my brother's ability and vision, brother I absolutely believe it. Come on, let me lend you auspicious words and let¡¯s have a cup together.¡± With that, Liu Dahai raised his cup. Zhou Liwen smiled and did not refuse. He clinked the cup with him and drank it all in one gulp. . In fact, although Zhou Liwen doesn't understand machinery, he is knowledgeable about business as Liu Dahai said, and he also knows a thing or two about the machinery market situation. In recent years, especially in the past ten years, the domestic real estate market has gradually replaced the processing industry as the pillar economy. However, Zhou Liwen knows very well that the land will eventually be sold out, and the real estate industry cannot continue like this forever. A country must??Sustainable development must still rely on industry. But in industry, the ordinary OEM industry has been greatly affected by various reasons such as labor costs and land value. As the overall cost rises, the profits of the OEM industry are getting lower and lower. But nowadays, many companies, including local governments, do not have long-term plans and only focus on immediate interests, which will cause them to suffer big losses in the future. In other industries, such as machinery manufacturing, the real estate industry and other industries have been greatly affected by the impact in these years. However, it cannot be denied that in order to enhance national strength and develop industry, machinery manufacturing is indispensable. When policymakers wake up, It will inevitably be readjusted when the time comes. Furthermore, although mechanical manufacturing technology requires high requirements, its profits are very considerable. Compared with ordinary processing industries, its profit ratio can be as high as several times or even ten times. If funds and technology can be invested in research and development, and when the climate is established, its future will be broad. Liu Dahai can see this and dare to invest. Zhou Liwen feels that it is not easy, and it is also a wise choice. While chatting and eating, the dishes came one after another, and they tasted very good. Just as Zhou Liwen and Liu Dahai gradually started chatting about the topic of machinery manufacturing, the waiter brought up the famous local dish Caotou Circle, and Liu Dahai said hello Zhou Liwen tasted it while it was hot. As soon as Zhou Liwen picked up the chopsticks and before he had time to pick up the food, someone shouted at the door: "Fat Liu, you are so stupid that you didn't even know to notify us when you ate here secretly."
