Chapter 84 Who doesn't want to get close to Mr. Shen
Ming Yannian asked Chen Yu with concern, "Mr. Chen, is there anything you want to talk to Mr. Yan about? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Yu didn't find Yan Pengfei and was about to hang up the phone, but when she heard Ming Yannian ask this, she also asked him.
"Mr. Ming, this is what happened. Our Xingfu Beverage Factory has some excess capacity and there are a lot of goods piled up in the warehouse, so we want to advertise on the provincial TV station and the provincial newspaper."
"But I don't know anyone at the provincial TV station or the provincial newspaper, and I'm afraid it would be a wasted trip. Do you have any friends here who could help me make some connections?"
This is how it works in China. Without connections and relationships, you won’t be able to accomplish many things.
Of course, you can also do it yourself and follow the rules, but just following the process and waiting in line will kill you.
If you have connections and relationships, maybe just a word from others can get your job done.
Even decades later, the so-called circle culture has not only not disappeared, but has become more and more intense.
For businessmen like Chen Yu, time is money. If this matter can be done quickly, why delay it?
After listening to Chen Yu's words, Ming Yannian searched his mind for the people he knew. In the end, he actually dug out the name of a classmate.
Ming Yannian said to Shen Yu: "Mr. Shen, I have a classmate who works at the provincial TV station. I don't know if he can speak to you. You can contact him."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "That's great. As long as he is from the provincial TV station and someone leads me in, this matter will be easy. Does he have a phone number?"
Ming Yannian replied: "I'll call and ask first, and I'll get back to you later, okay?"
Chen Yu said gratefully: "Okay, okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Ming."
"You are welcome."
After Ming Yannian hung up the phone, he called each of his classmates who he had been in contact with one by one to ask for the phone number of Peng Zhiyuan, his classmate who worked at the provincial TV station.
After asking a circle of classmates, Ming Yannian finally got Peng Zhiyuan's phone number.
Ming Yannian called Peng Zhiyuan again according to the same phone number.
Someone answered the phone quickly, "Hello!"
As soon as Ming Yannian heard the familiar voice, he knew it was his old classmate Peng Zhiyuan.
He was happy in his heart and smiled happily: "Old classmate, I am Ming Yannian, do you still remember me?"
Peng Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Classmate Yannian, it's you! We haven't contacted each other for so many years. Are you okay? Where are you working now?"
Ming Yannian smiled modestly and said, "I'm not that high-ranking. I just make a living at the Chinese Business Bureau in Pengcheng Special Zone. How about you? I heard that you're doing quite well at the provincial TV station? You've even been promoted to production director!"
Peng Zhiyuan also replied modestly: "Well, what production director? I'm just an assistant. It's just a nice title."
Then, he changed the subject and asked Ming Yannian, "Student Yannian, why did you suddenly think of looking for me? Is there something wrong?"
Ming Yannian laughed and said, "Student Zhiyuan, I'm so sorry. I really don't come to see you for no reason. To be honest, my Chinese Business Bureau has a partner, the Gangcheng Qiao Group. I wonder if you have heard of it?"
Peng Zhiyuan was shocked. "Gangcheng Qiao Group, of course I have heard of it. It is a well-known large company in Gangcheng. They also cooperate with your Huashang Bureau? It's amazing!"
Ming Yannian and Peng Zhiyuan were both college students in the 1960s and were considered very rare talents.
When they graduated, the political situation was quite chaotic and many people were not given important positions. Some people, like Ming Yannian, were even suppressed.
It was not until the reform and opening up that Ming Yannian met a noble man, Yan Pengfei, who promoted him again and made him General Yan's special assistant.
Ming Yannian regarded Yan Pengfei as his benefactor and was loyal to him.
Ming Yannian then said to Peng Zhiyuan, "This time, Comrade Shen Yu, the vice chairman of Qiao's Group, asked me to find a provincial TV station and newspaper to advertise."
"I thought you were at the provincial TV station, and I asked several classmates before I found your phone number."
"The Happiness Beverage Factory under the name of Director Shen is located here in our Huashang Bureau Special Zone Industrial Zone. They are currently the largest investor in our Special Zone, and their current investment alone is as high as 500 million."
"Zhiyuan, don't say that I, your old classmate, don't take care of you. The connections between Qiao's Group and Mr. Shen are something that many people want to get in touch with. They will be big shots who can help you achieve political achievements in the future. Do you want them?"
Peng Zhiyuan replied without hesitation: "Of course! Old classmate, I won't say much to thank you. Next time you come to Yangcheng, you must look for me. I will treat you to a drink and a meal. You can eat whatever you want. It's up to you!"
Ming Yannian laughed and said, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll give your phone number to Director Shen later, and she should contact you soon."
Peng Zhiyuan responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, old classmate, thank you!"
After Ming Yannian hung up the phone, he called Chen Yu back and told her Peng Zhiyuan's position and contact number, and said that he had already greeted his classmates.
Chen Yu also said repeatedly: "Thank you, Mr. Ming. When President Yan comes back, I will treat you to a meal and thank you very much."
Ming Yannian smiled and replied to her, "Mr. Shen, you're welcome. You are a big customer of our industrial zone, so it is our duty to provide good service."
After Chen Yu finished chatting with Ming Yannian, she dialed the phone number Ming Yannian provided.
Peng Zhiyuan has also been waiting for Chen Yu's call.
As soon as the phone rang, he picked it up immediately. "Hello! I'm Peng Zhiyuan from the production department."
Chen Yu also introduced herself immediately, "Hello, Director Peng! I am Chen Yu from Qiao Group, and I was introduced by Mr. Ming Yannian."
Peng Zhiyuan smiled enthusiastically and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Shen, hello! Classmate Yannian has already told me about you. You want to advertise on the provincial TV station and the provincial newspaper, right?"
Chen Yu replied: "Yes, yes, I wonder if Director Peng can help me make some connections? After the matter is accomplished, I will definitely thank Director Peng."
Peng Zhiyuan understood what Chen Yu meant. Whether to repay or not was another matter. But after she said that, he felt better about helping her.
He also said politely: "You don't have to be polite. To be honest, our provincial TV station also needs big customers like you. It would be our honor to cooperate with your Qiao Group."
Chen Yu smiled and made an appointment with him, "Okay, then I'll come to the provincial TV station to see you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, is that convenient?"
Peng Zhiyuan replied repeatedly: "That's convenient. I'll be waiting for you at the provincial TV station."
"Thank you Director Peng, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Shen Yu had taken care of this matter, and she felt relieved.
After Peng Zhiyuan hung up the phone, he immediately went to report this major event to the station director Sheng Jianwei.
