Wu Changfeng was greatly surprised.
I never expected to run into my former "teammate" here.
The two had no contact after the fishbone antenna was sold to the mining bureau.
Director Chai's expression was indifferent, as if he had just met someone he hadn't seen in years but with whom he had no real connection.
A situation where you have to greet them.
"Why is Boss Wu in Beijing? Has your business grown big?"
Wu Changfeng shook hands: "Not at all, not at all, thanks to you, I've just been getting by."
Director Chai got a little angry when he heard this and said in a low voice, "You planned this all along, didn't you?"
Wu Changfeng couldn't possibly admit it, and quickly shook his head: "You can't say that. I've really had enough, so there's this kind of deal between us."
"No one can guarantee that tomorrow or an accident will come first, right?"
"The market is a curve; it goes up and then it goes down, that's the norm."
Director Chai sighed, "I'm not being unreasonable, I'm just upset that the fishbone antenna ended up like this, and it cost so much money."
Wu Changfeng remained silent.
They lost real money; it can't be appeased with just a few words.
However, of course I didn't force you to buy a fishbone antenna, did I?
Fair trade is the norm, but now the market is filled with fierce competition among numerous manufacturers. Who can be blamed for this?
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Wu Changfeng was surprised to learn that Director Chai had been promoted!
He went from being the director of a local mining bureau to the head of a department within the Ministry of Coal Industry.
Don't be fooled by changes in job titles.
But in reality, he has received a huge promotion, and it's estimated that he might become a minister in just a few years.
After saying goodbye.
Wu Changfeng followed Director Wang to a multi-functional conference room.
There were quite a few people inside, and the place was filled with smoke.
Director Wang glanced around the crowd and pulled Wu Changfeng to a man's side.
"Let me introduce you, this is Shi Baichuan from the telecommunications department."
"This is the outstanding entrepreneur you mentioned, Mr. Wu Changfeng."
Shi Baichuan, a middle-aged man in his forties, quickly stubbed out his cigarette and warmly shook hands with Wu Changfeng.
"Oh my, seeing is believing! You truly are a gentleman of both talent and appearance!"
Wu Changfeng responded with a smile: "The leader is flattering me to death. I'm just an ordinary citizen."
Shi Baichuan shook his head: "I'm telling the truth. I've heard about your outstanding performance at the Canton Fair. You're truly amazing!"
"If there were more business owners like you across the country who had ideas and dared to innovate products, why would we have to worry about foreign exchange issues?"
"The trade surplus has already been reversed!"
Wu Changfeng looked somewhat wistful: "The leaders have a good eye. I was only thinking about making money for myself, and my overall perspective was lacking."
Shi Baichuan waved his hand: "You can't say it like that. When you make money, the country makes money. The taxes collected are then used to support the people. It's a perfect closed loop."
Director Wang and Wu Changfeng nodded.
Wu Changfeng felt that Shi Baichuan seemed to have been parachuted into the telecommunications department.
He should go to the National Development and Reform Commission or the Ministry of Commerce.
Then Director Wang whispered a few words in Shi Baichuan's ear.
Shi Baichuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently.
Then he instructed his secretary to issue the necessary documents.
Wu Changfeng took it and glanced at it; it was something like an IOU, so he put it away.
Shi Baichuan shook hands with Wu Changfeng: "I won't say more, I'll take care of your phone line."
"Thank you very much, sir. Who should I contact to pay the deposit?"
Shi Baichuan shook his head and said softly, "What do you mean, 'pay'? I didn't charge you any interest when I used your money; it was free."
"Wouldn't it be difficult to process the accounts?"
Wu Changfeng was overjoyed, as he was already short of funds.
Every little bit helps.
It's cheap to get something for free, so why not take advantage of it?
Shi Baichuan smiled and said to Director Wang, "Look at this young man, his thinking is quite sophisticated."
"If it were anyone else, they would have thanked you long ago, but he's still worried about your accounts."
"I'm afraid of putting you in a difficult position, so please don't do it."
"This quality is rare."
Director Wang was taken aback.
When a high-ranking leader says something like this, it's a very blatant way of saying: I've got my eye on you, kid, and I'm very satisfied!
If a telecommunications employee receives this evaluation, they will definitely be promoted within a year.
Director Wang said, "Sir, please don't poach our talent. This is a private business owner that Jiyang Province is paying close attention to."
Shi Baichuan sighed: "If it were more than ten years ago, I would definitely have dug it up."
"But after the reforms, the atmosphere has changed. Everyone is focused on making money, so it's no longer possible to dig."
Then Shi Baichuan led Wu Changfeng to introduce the leaders from various sectors in the conference room.
Wu Changfeng felt dizzy and disoriented in the crowd.
Before the leader could even say a word, Shi Baichuan grabbed him and pulled him away.
Wu Changfeng was a little puzzled.
This isn't a visit!
I felt like I was a waiter just by carrying the teapot!
A few minutes later, Shi Baichuan began to attend to his own business.
Wu Changfeng and Director Wang sat in a corner.
Wu Changfeng scratched his head: "Director Wang, I think we came for nothing. We didn't get to know many leaders!"
“You don’t understand,” Director Wang said. “You’re not an insider. The more you explain, the more taboos you’ll have.”
"Just saying hello is a way of giving you an explanation."
Wu Changfeng suddenly realized.
It seems they have figured out Shi Baichuan's intentions.
Although the two have crossed paths, Shi Baichuan is Shi Baichuan.
He is still a "businessman".
If he weren't a businessman, Shi Baichuan would definitely have been enthusiastic in introducing himself and even asking for business cards from various leaders.
Nothing more.
Relationships without any vested interests are the most reassuring.
