    "Lao Zhang, why are you here?" Liu Dahai was stunned when he saw the person standing at the door, and stood up subconsciously.  "Why can't I be here?" The visitor walked into the private room with a smile, as if he was very familiar with Liu Dahai: "I just came from the exhibition hall, you can do it, and the stalls at the booth were not confiscated and then ran away  It's cool to come here. If your employee hadn't told you the address, I wouldn't have been able to find it. It just so happens that it's dinner time. There are only two of you anyway. Fatty Liu, don't you care about adding a pair of chopsticks?" The other party said.  He grabbed a chair and sat down, and then naturally greeted the waiter who had just finished serving the dishes and asked him to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks.  As for Zhou Liwen, who was sitting in the main seat, the visitor just glanced at him. Maybe he just thought that young Zhou Liwen was just Liu Dahai's descendant or something, and didn't care.  Liu Dahai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He and Zhou Liwen had eaten well and were chatting happily. This uninvited guest, Lao Zhang, suddenly appeared. Originally, he had planned to talk more about business matters with Zhou Liwen.  Please ask for more advice.  But it's good now. As soon as Lao Zhang sits here, what will he say next?  What's more, today's meal is specially for Zhou Liwen. What does it mean that Lao Zhang is sitting aside for no reason? ?????????????????????????????? However, Lao Zhang is not easy to catch up with Liu Dahai, others can forget it, but Lao Zhang is different.  Speaking of Lao Zhang, he can be regarded as Liu Dahai's best friend. Although they are not from the same place, nor did they hang out together since childhood, they have only known each other for seven or eight years.  Unlike Liu Dahai, Lao Zhang is in the toy business and owns a large-scale toy factory in the township. Its products are mainly exported to Europe and the United States.  They first met at a trade fair in the south. The two had similar personalities and chatted well, and they soon became friends.  Later, Liu Dahai's company encountered some difficulties, and it happened to be where Lao Zhang was. Liu Dahai couldn't find anyone to help him for a while, so he tentatively called Lao Zhang. Who would have thought that he had never seen him before?  Lao Zhang, who was sitting next to me, said nothing after hearing this. He patted his chest and agreed.  A few days later, Lao Zhang found a way to settle the matter. Liu Dahai personally went to thank Lao Zhang for this, but who would have thought that Lao Zhang not only did not accept the "thank you" he sent, but instead smiled and said that his friend helped  That's right. In this business world, everyone may encounter difficulties. If you can help, you must help.  After this incident, Liu Dahai and Lao Zhang became close friends. They have cooperated several times over the years, and the relationship between the two companies is like that of a brother company.  Not to mention, even their wives have a good relationship as best friends. From this point of view, they are almost like brothers.  Liu Dahai looked at Zhou Liwen apologetically. Liu Dahai was thinking about how to greet Zhou Liwen.  Zhou Liwen didn't care at all. Instead, he smiled and looked at Lao Zhang, who sat down and treated himself as casually as half a master.  "Eat, Fatty Liu, why don't you use your chopsticks to treat me to a meal? Don't you always fight for food with me like a starving ghost?" Maybe he was hungry, so Lao Zhang picked up his chopsticks and ate a few  He ate the food, and then took a sip of wine. After he finished chewing, he realized that Liu Dahai was looking at him with a strange expression.  A little puzzled, Lao Zhang put down his chopsticks strangely and couldn't help but ask.  "You guy" Lao Zhang exposed himself in front of Zhou Liwen and said that he was like a starving ghost grabbing food. Didn't this tell Zhou Liwen that he was a pig who only knew how to eat?  Liu Dahai looked very embarrassed. He paused, cleared his throat, and said, "You didn't see any guests here? Can you be more polite? Come on, let me introduce to you. This is Zhou" "  I'm Xiao Zhou, a friend of Boss Liu." Zhou Liwen rushed to take over the conversation. Not only that, he also picked up the wine bottle with a smile and added some wine to Lao Zhang's half-drunk glass: "You are Zhang.  Boss, right? Boss Liu mentioned you to me. It's a coincidence that we can meet you today. It's okay. We just want to have dinner together. Why don't we just eat? Come on, come on.  The spicy sauce is good, but what about the signature dish here? " "Yeah, I'll give it a try." Lao Zhang took some with his chopsticks and nodded with satisfaction, "Don't tell me about the taste.  It¡¯s really good, but the spiciness is a little too strong, and it¡¯s a little too sweet. Haha, my ancestral home is in Sichuan, so the taste is just like this, the taste here in Shanghai is just like that.¡± Zhou Liwen smiled.  He said: "I came with Boss Liu today just to have a taste. This restaurant is very famous, and I have never been here before." "That's true, I have heard of this restaurant, but this is the first time I have come in."  Zhang nodded very understandingly. Their usual hobbies as bosses were similar, either having fun or eating delicious food. It was normal to find a few friends to try something new in some famous restaurants that they had never been to, so he only felt that today Liu Dahai and  Perhaps the same is true for Zhou Liwen.  "By the way, Xiao Zhou, what kind of business do you have at home? Why haven't you heard Fatty mention it before?" Lao Zhang took a few bites of food, took out a pack of cigarettes, offered it to Zhou Liwen, and then shook one to Zhou Liwen.  Liu Dahai asked carelessly.    Liu Dahai¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard this, and he wanted to say but didn¡¯t dare to say it. Zhou Liwen was very natural. He took the cigarette and took the lighter on the table to help Lao Zhang light it. He took a puff and replied: "I  I'm in the electronics business, a small business. I've met Boss Liu before, and I happened to go to the exhibition hall today for a walk, so I bumped into "Oh, the electronics business is in the south, right?"  "Lao Zhang looked at Zhou Liwen's clothes and asked with a smile. These processing bosses are basically divided into regions. For example, those who make toys are mostly in the Yangtze River Delta area, or near Huacheng. But those who make electronic products are still in the south.  Most of them are because the south is close to Xiangjiang, and it has advantages in terms of geographical environment since the reform and opening up period. Zhou Liwen nodded noncommittally. Lao Zhang patted Zhou Liwen on the shoulder and said: "It has been difficult to make electronic products in recent years.  It seems that Xiao Zhou's family is not simple, and the enterprises that are able to achieve their current status are all built on the waves.  By the way, Fatty has done this before, so you are considered half of the same industry, so it¡¯s normal for you to know each other.  But having said that, Fatty's luck is much better than that of our brothers. I don't know what luck this guy got. He hooked up with a big boss in Europe.  Unlike me, who relies on annual Christmas orders from Europe and the United States to make a living. In recent years, raw materials have increased sharply, and labor is not as cheap as before. Business is becoming more and more difficult. Xiao Zhou, learn from Fatty, and he is now changing his profession.  The machine is ready. If the quality of the products in your factory is good, ask him to introduce you to some customers. If it is done well, you will be guaranteed to get rich. "Lao Zhang said so enthusiastically that Liu Dahai almost wanted to cover his face.  Make a fortune by yourself?  It's almost the same thing to say the other way around.  With Zhou Liwen's status and wealth, it's not enough for him to carry Zhou Liwen's shoes. "Lao Zhang is a relatively talkative person, not to mention his close friend Liu Dahai is with him."  In addition, he was an acquaintance. He chatted with Zhou Liwen within a few words. After a few glasses of wine, he danced when he was happy. He and Zhou Liwen were as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.  .  Speaking of which, Zhou Liwen was just being polite at first. In addition, he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of Lao Zhang, so he made up a false identity according to the other party's words.  But who would have thought that while chatting, Zhou Liwen found that Lao Zhang's temperament and personality were more to his liking. In other words, it was just like the feeling he had when he and Guo Tao were together. In addition, during his college career, his old classmates  Drinking beer in the dormitory and bragging and spanking.  This feeling is rare for Zhou Liwen.  As his business is getting bigger and bigger, his identity and status are also very different from before. Many of his seemingly good friends are polite and respectful to Zhou Liwen, and there are almost no cases of dealing with him like a true friend.  Even Guo Tao, an old friend, has become somewhat estranged from Zhou Liwen in recent years. It's not that their relationship has faded or there are any conflicts, but that with the growth of age and the difference in status, the mentality of both parties has changed.  some changes.  If there is anyone who can really chat as casually as Zhou Liwen, maybe Richard can be counted as one.  However, there are some things that both parties cannot say in full. As an excellent businessman, or a successful entrepreneur, loneliness is inevitable.  But today, Lao Zhang, who was sitting with Zhou Liwen in a daze, gradually made Zhou Liwen regain this feeling. Listening to Lao Zhang talk about how they started their business back then, as well as some of the funny things they encountered over the years, Zhou Liwen  Li Wen listened with great interest and even praised Lao Zhang, which made him laugh happily. "Xiao Zhou, our era is incomparable with yours. You are lucky." He patted hard.  On Zhou Liwen's shoulder, Lao Zhang sighed with emotion: "Perhaps your father knows that among our generation, none of us started doing business secretly and risked going to jail. It's not easy to get to where we are today. I'll wait for you to take over in the future.  After running the family business, we may be able to experience it, but no matter what, our feelings back then are incomparable. " "Although I have never experienced this, I have heard of it." Zhou Liwen.  He nodded and said: "It is said that many people of your generation came from the single-running gang?" "Do you still know about the single-running gang?" Lao Zhang's eyes widened, and then he clapped his thigh happily: "That's right, you don't know, right?  , I, Lao Zhang, used to run in the Dangan Gang back then. I would travel back and forth all over the country by myself with a pole. Relying on the method of moving with ants, I managed to accumulate the family business that later opened a factory. To tell you the truth, I still keep the pole that I used to run in the Dangan Gang.  It's still there, take it out and wipe it when you have free time. I will leave this thing to my descendants in the future." Zhou Liwen laughed immediately after hearing this, and Liu Dahai also laughed with him, but his smile seemed a little unnatural, and he was heartbroken.  He also blamed Lao Zhang for bringing up these old things instead of mentioning something bad. If Zhou Liwen was not happy to hear this, wouldn't all his arrangements for today be ruined?  Liu Dahai thought about it and let Lao Zhang ramble on like this, who knows what nonsense he would say, so he just let it go, but Zhou Liwen would be in trouble if he wasn't happy after hearing it.  Thinking of this, Liu Dahai coughed. When he saw Lao Zhang subconsciously looking at him, he asked with a smile: "By the way, Lao Zhang, what's going on in front of me?"?Forgot to ask you, did you go to the exhibition hall to find me just now?  " "Yeah, I went around and couldn't find you. Didn't I come here just for asking.  "Lao Zhang picked up a squab and gnawed on it, and said as he gnawed. "What do you want from me?  Liu Dahai asked. "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"  "Lao Zhang rolled his eyes at him, and Liu Dahai smiled awkwardly: "Of course not. Didn't I call you when I came to the exhibition before? You said that you had an important order to discuss and you didn't have time to come over.  How is it now?  Is the order finished?  Has the project been taken down?  " "The discussion is over and the project has been won.  "Lao Zhang sighed and said: "You didn't mention this, but I was about to say it. I came to you today to ask for your help.  " "Help?  Liu Dahai was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What's wrong?"  Is it a funding issue?  Tell me, how much does it cost?  "Lao Zhang drew a number. Liu Dahai was surprised and asked why there was such a big gap. "Hey, business is getting more and more difficult now. You also know that I took over the World Expo project last year. I originally wanted to rely on it.  Designated products can make a lot of money, but who would have thought that once the goods were shipped, the money would be collected very slowly, and now the organizing committee still owes me this amount.  Moreover, the organizing committee is full of gentlemen, and they continue to ask for goods, and the money is like squeezing out toothpaste. They squeeze hard to get a little bit.  No one can support this. To be honest, although the profit from the new order won this time is not high, the money will be returned quickly. I plan to rely on this to supplement my turnover.  But now let the accountant calculate it carefully, the factory is almost out of money to purchase raw materials. No, there is really no other way, I can only ask you for help.  "Liu Dahai nodded in understanding. In fact, the business he is least willing to do is doing business with the government. Even though he is a famous local entrepreneur and a representative of the National People's Congress, what kind of moral comparison does he have with those guys in the government agencies?  Everyone knows that these people are all cannibals. No matter how big the profit is, not much will fall into their hands, and there will be a lot of trouble in the end. The year before last, Lao Zhang took over this.  Liu Dahai is not very optimistic about this business. He has tried to persuade him several times, but the international toy market has not been very good in recent years, and Lao Zhang's factory has not been operating enough. To be honest, he is very eager for this deal.  He didn't make any money, but he was willing to do it to keep the factory running, not to mention there was a lot of profit from the bidding plan. In this way, Lao Zhang finally won the bid and signed the contract. But who would have thought that after the official operation, the organization would become more profitable.  The committee used various reasons to shirk the payment deadline, which put Lao Zhang in a dilemma, and it was impossible to interrupt the supply. After all, he was an official and he was a businessman, so he would not get any good results from the quarrel, and Lao Zhang would suffer the loss.  He could only break his teeth and swallow blood, and think of other ways to escape or make up for the losses, so he came up with this cooperation on export orders. Although the figures reported by Lao Zhang were not much in Zhou Liwen's eyes, they were for ordinary domestic enterprises.  It is a huge sum of money, even if Liu Dahai wants to spend it all at once, it will be difficult. Moreover, his company is in the process of transformation, and most of the funds have been invested in new machinery companies, and he does not have much available liquidity.  But no matter what, Lao Zhang is his brother, so he has to help anyway. Liu Dahai thought about it and said, "Can you give me ten days?  I can't afford so much money at once, so I have to raise some money.  " "Ten days?  Ten days is too long, why not three days?  "Lao Zhang asked in embarrassment. "Three days will definitely not be enough. How about five days? How about I try to get it done in five days?  Liu Dahai thought for a while and replied. "This"  "Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, calculating the time for the order. He was a little nervous in five days, but apart from Liu Dahai, he couldn't find anyone who could lend him so much money at once. After thinking about it, he nodded. "Who would have thought that,  At this time, Zhou Liwen suddenly interjected and asked Lao Zhang how much the organizing committee owed him. Lao Zhang sighed and shook his head and said a number. This number was much larger than the amount he asked Liu Dahai to borrow. Zhou Liwen understood.  Nodding, if the money can be recovered, it will be no problem given Lao Zhang¡¯s financial resources. ¡°Boss Liu, I remember that your machinery company is in urgent need of funds now, right?  What if you lend money to Boss Zhang and your own funds are cut off?  " Zhou Liwen asked. Liu Dahai's expression suddenly became awkward, while Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little uncomfortable. At the same time, he also blamed Zhou Liwen for being troublesome. "Boss Zhang, don't blame me for saying this, you and Liu  The boss has been a friend for many years. You don¡¯t want to drag down Boss Liu, right?  " Zhou Liwen seemed to feel what Lao Zhang was thinking, and said to him with a smile. Lao Zhang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head and sighed. "Actually, if you don't have enough funds, you can find a bank loan.  , Besides, you have an agreement with the organizing committee. I remember that some commercial banks can directly use this as a mortgage loan according to the proportion. Didn't you try it?  " "It's no use trying. The bank door opens to the south. There is no problem with state-owned enterprises and so on, but who are we?  Among private enterprises, which one will offend you?  Xiao Zhou, what you said is justIn theory, can this theoretical thing be true?  "Lao Zhang shook his head and said, with a trace of anger in his expression. It seems that he has not tried it before. He has probably tried it a long time ago and hit a snag. "I used to be in finance. Boss Zhang, you and the organizing committee's contract leader  Are you ready?  If it's convenient, let me take a look?  "Zhou Liwen thought for a while and asked. "Old Zhang hesitated. Of course he brought the contract with him. This time he came to Shanghai to bring the contract with him to ask for money. But is this thing useful for Zhou Liwen to see? However, I just sat down.  Liu Dahai, who was on the opposite side, winked at him secretly, and Lao Zhang took out the copy of the contract in his bag. Zhou Liwen took it and looked at it carefully.  It was also very clear. After reading it, Zhou Liwen thought for a while, asked Liu Dahai for a piece of paper, then wrote a sentence, and then returned the contract and the note to Lao Zhang, "Boss Liu, this is it for today.  I have something else to do. Thank you for your hospitality. We will sit down again when we have the opportunity.  Boss Zhang, please take this note. Tomorrow you can take the contract and relevant information to the headquarters of Shanghai Bank to find a Mr. Yao Liang and show him the note.  Okay, you drink slowly, I'll leave first.  "Zhou Liwen smiled and greeted them, then refused Liu Dahai's courtesy of sending him out, and left quickly after going out alone. "What the hell is this little Zhou doing?  "Lao Zhang looked at Zhou Liwen leaving with some confusion, but Liu Dahai was different. He hurriedly asked Lao Zhang for the note and took a look at it. When he saw the sentence above and Zhou Liwen's signature below,  Afterwards, Liu Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, patted his old friend on the shoulder and said: "You, you, you are still confused in person, but with this thing, brother, those things you do are nothing."
