"Okay, I agree. I don't know anything else, just tell me how the cooperation works."
"Okay, I need to think about the specific details some more. I'll discuss it with you when I've thought it through."
While the two were talking, Zhang Wenyuan watched with a smile, without saying a word.
During this time, when their eyes met, they would quickly exchange glances, each with a tacit understanding.
Now that we've finished discussing business, it's time for dinner.
Liu Mang had never eaten at such a high-class hotel before, and many things seemed very novel to him.
I'm still a little embarrassed.
But seeing that Wang Tianxiao and Zhang Wenyuan were very natural, as if it were no different from eating on the roadside, he secretly thought that maybe one day he could also dine in a hotel as calmly and naturally as they did.
It's not because we've become rich, but because we have confidence.
He had a vague feeling that this opportunity was a blessing from heaven, and he was determined to seize it.
After finishing their meal, Wang Tianxiao hailed a taxi for Liu Mang to go back first, while he and Zhang Wenyuan returned to the office.
As soon as they entered, Zhang Wenyuan put his arm around Wang Tianxiao's shoulder and said, "Old Wang, how about I take you out for a bit of fun?"
"What's so cool about it? Going for drinks?"
"Men, drinking and eating isn't very interesting, um..."
"Stop!"
Wang Tianxiao immediately refused, saying, "If you want to live a carefree life, go ahead. I can't stand this kind of happiness."
"Haha, is your sister-in-law strict?"
“It has nothing to do with that,” Wang Tianxiao said irritably. “Men aren’t just limited to that bunch of things down there.”
"...Boring."
Zhang Wenyuan sat down on the sofa.
Lying diagonally.
Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Now, you should tell me your specific plans."
Wang Tianxiao also sat down next to him.
Their relationship is now very strong, and the initial reserve and testing have long since disappeared. Everyone has returned to their most basic state.
"Hmm, you noticed?"
"Who wouldn't see it? I guess only an honest person wouldn't know."
“Not entirely,” Wang Tianxiao explained. “This matter is a double-edged sword, or rather, a double insurance. We can’t put all our eggs in one basket, or if the basket breaks, we’ll lose everything.”
"So, from the beginning, you weren't prepared with a basket?"
"No, that's not it. In the beginning, we didn't have many eggs, so there was no point in having too many baskets. One basket was enough. Even if the basket broke, we wouldn't lose much. Instead, it would prove that the basket was indeed of poor quality."
"Go on."
"But a basket is a basket. Although it does serve its purpose of holding eggs, the value of the eggs does not come from the basket, does it? If the basket thinks that only it can hold eggs, then it is putting the cart before the horse and not understanding its own role."
"Oh, there are quite a few people like that."
"To be honest, Mr. Zhang, you probably aren't that interested in this construction company. You're only willing to give it a try because I said it has great potential, right?"
Zhang Wenyuan quickly shook his head: "That's not true."
"to be honest."
“Okay, that’s true to some extent,” Zhang Wenyuan said with a smile. “Although I think a lot of what you said earlier makes a lot of sense, the problem is that this is just a trend, and there’s no specific timeframe. It’s like we all know that people will die, but if you ask us to specify the exact day they will die, nobody knows, right?”
Wang Tianxiao smiled wryly. This guy is really sensitive.
The biggest flaw in these empty promises is simply the time factor.
Just like the example Zhang Wenyuan gave, it's very vivid.
Everyone dies, but no one knows when. So, if someone prepares a coffin and waits to make a fortune, that would be a bit of a rip-off.
Maybe the coffin will have rotted by now, but the person will still be alive.
He had previously offered Liu Mang empty promises because Liu Mang was not highly educated and lacked experience. To motivate him, he couldn't be realistic; he had to offer empty promises to completely shatter Liu Mang's worldview before offering him something new.
From then on, his goal became how to get the pie.
That way, they'll follow you wholeheartedly.
He didn't see anything wrong with this kind of empty promise.
He felt that everyone needs something to strive for.
The difference is that if you make empty promises to others and end up exceeding their needs, then it's not a promise.
A true empty promise is all talk and no action, with no real results.
That is the most shameful thing.
"Yes, what you said makes sense, but there's nothing we can do about it. Different people use different methods. Look at you and me, we always speak our minds, right? That's because we can clearly think about the costs and benefits of something, the probability of success, and how much risk there is. So, speaking directly is definitely the most effective way to communicate."
But unlike Liu Mang, he doesn't understand the concept of development; he values fundamental interests more. So how do we communicate with him? Of course, we lay the interests out on the table. If he's willing to accept it, he accepts it; if he's not, he misses out.
Wang Tianxiao didn't hide anything, just like when he talked to Zhang Wenyuan about other things before, without any concealment.
A smart person doesn't want to hide too much, as hiding things reduces communication efficiency.
"That's good. Let's just stay honest with each other like this. As for how much money we can make, the main thing is to get things done with you, Lao Wang. I think it's very interesting."
