Chapter 183 Hand over your business card obediently
The next afternoon, Jiang Qin went to a suit store in the city and tried on a gray suit, a black shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes at the suggestion of the salesperson.
He has a very tall and straight figure, which doesn't show in his casual clothes. But after putting on a suit, his sloppy look instantly becomes a lot more heroic.
"So handsome, I'm just a clothes rack."
"This color makes me look elegant, energetic, and noble. Even if Daniel Wu came, he would look just like me."
The salesperson at the suit shop followed behind him in silence, thinking, "You've already told me all my marketing tactics, so what else can I say? Nowadays, do mature customers already help sell to themselves?"
"Boss, why don't you buy pure black? Black suits obviously make people look more stable." Sunai couldn't help but say something beside him.
"Pure black? These days, hotel doormen all wear pure black. I'm afraid they'll mistake me for a colleague."
Jiang Qin looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, then suddenly turned around and posed: "Did you get a new phone? The pixels are pretty good, right? Come and take a picture of you in a suit for me."
Sunai took out his phone and took two photos of him: "Here, it's done."
"Hmm? Where's my head?"
"Isn't it... taking photos in suits?" Suna looked confused.
"????"
Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time, thinking, are all programmers like this? "I asked you to take a picture of my handsome face, what's the point of taking a picture of my clothes?"
Sunai gritted his teeth, thinking that his boss was really annoying, and raised his phone to take two more photos: "Okay, is this okay now?"
"Well, that's reasonable. Use your computer to send it to my email in the evening."
"Boss, you are so conceited, even more so than any of us girls."
Jiang Qin chuckled and turned to look at the salesperson: "I want this one, no need to pretend, just cut off the tag for me and I'll wear it."
The salesperson nodded: "OK, sir, are you paying in cash?"
"Yes, Suna, go and pay, and remember to issue an invoice."
"oh."
Sunai followed the salesperson to the front desk to pay, and when he came back he muttered, "Sister Lanlan is obviously your part-time secretary."
"She has more important things to do, and she has already made preparations in advance. This is the tradition of our 208. The more talented you are, the more roles you have to take on." Jiang Qin spoke in the tone of an old capitalist.
"Language is really an art. I know you are exploiting me, but I still think it sounds so beautiful."
"You said it very well, don't say it again next time."
Jiang Qin tugged at his tie and looked in the mirror again, feeling a little dazed.
He was in his previous life, wearing a black suit for many years when he was doing business, and it seemed as if it was welded to his body.
So he had a resistance deep down in his heart and felt like he couldn't breathe once he put on a black suit.
Gray is better, so handsome.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"You go back to school, I'm going to watch others show off."
Jiang Qin drove Sunai back to school and headed to Longkai International Hotel in the evening.
This is a relatively famous star-rated hotel in Linchuan. It is said to be opened by members of the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce. They gather here regularly every year and use the same banquet hall every year - the Caiyuan Hall.
Listen to the name, Caiyuan Hall, how simple and straightforward it is.
Jiang Qin drove in and came to the underground parking lot, where he found that his A6 was really the only one among the cars in the row.
But there is nothing to mourn.
The money is yours, the money is theirs, but this money will be mine one day.
"start."
Jiang Qin locked the car and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. He immediately felt a sense of grandeur. The bright crystal chandelier was dazzling, and the wall panels in the lobby were painted with beautiful mountains and rivers.
On both sides of the front desk, a large light strip is embedded in the main beams. The warm yellow light echoes the gold floor, making its texture sparkle.
Especially the row of wall clocks representing different time zones, which instantly give off an international flavor.
Jiang Qin stood in the hall for a while and saw a bright banner with the words "Linchuan Chamber of Commerce Year-End Exchange Meeting" hanging on the ceiling.
At the same time, He Yijun was standing under the banner and waved at him.
Boss He was also dressed in a suit today, with a dark tie that suited his age group, and his hair was slicked back, looking really handsome.
"Just do as I said yesterday. Talk less and watch more. Don't ask anyone for their business card."
Jiang Qin nodded: "I understand, Mr. He. After I go in, I won't say a word. I'll find a corner, cross my legs and pretend I don't exist."
The more straightforward he was, the more He Yijun wondered, "What on earth are you doing here?"
"It's for the smell."
"I really can't see through you."
Jiang Qin waved his hand calmly: "Don't think too highly of me. Just treat me as an ordinary college student. I came out this time just to see the world and brag to my roommates when I go back."
He Yijun didn't believe it at all: "When we first met, you tricked Manager Yue with just a few words. I absolutely don't believe you have no purpose."
"Mr. He, why don't you just say what you want to say?"
"You helped me teach my daughter well. I don't want you to get nothing this time, so tell me who you're targeting and I'll get you a business card."
In an era without WeChat QR codes, business cards still had a certain practical value, especially the business card of a company’s top executive, which generally would not be given to others casually.
Unless you are his potential customer or potential partner.
I heard that some awesome business CEOs even use gold to make business cards, which shows how valuable it is.
So, holding the boss's business card may not necessarily allow you to negotiate a cooperation, but you will definitely have a say. This is what He Yijun meant when he asked for a business card for him.
To put it bluntly, without this business card, no matter how good you are at fooling people, you may not find an opportunity. But with this business card, you are qualified to go in and fool people.
But Jiang Qin waved his hand and rejected He Yijun's kindness.
"Mr. He, I really don't want a business card. I don't want anyone's. I just came here to meet the world."
"This is really rare..."
He Yijun glanced at him and said nothing more. He took Jiang Qin and walked towards the designated Finance Hall.
However, as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a large group of people gathered in front of a table. Among them were several acquaintances of He Yijun, such as Mr. Qin, who ran a convenience store chain, and Mr. Ming, who ran a building materials business...
When the crowd dispersed a little, He Yijun and Jiang Qin found a gap and moved over. They were shocked to see two standees over 1.8 meters tall placed on the left side of the entrance to the banquet hall.
A signature board with the words "Linchuan Chamber of Commerce·Dinner Guest" on it, with more than ten signatures on it.
Another one is labeled Linchuan's Top Business Elites Business Card Display Area, with a transparent acrylic card slot on it. It has been stuffed with more than a dozen business cards, all of which belong to various CEOs or directors.
In addition, there is a table next to the signboard with the sign-in area written on red paper, and a young girl is handing pens to the bosses passing by.
"I remember there weren't these things before?"
He Yijun was stunned after taking a closer look.
"This dinner was organized in a professional and grand manner. You rich people really know how to have fun."
Jiang Qin also leaned over to take a look, his face full of emotion.
"Did you bring your business card?"
He Yijun turned his head and looked at him.
"How can a college student like me get a business card? Besides, this is for the top elites. I can't afford to lose this person. Mr. He, please come here."
Jiang Qin took the marker from the girl and handed it to He Yijun.
He Yijun took it and wrote his name on it, then took out a business card from the business card holder. However, before inserting it, he couldn't help but take another look at the girl behind the desk.
"Why do I feel like you look familiar? Look up and let me take a look."
Jiang Qin laughed out loud instantly: "Okay, Mr. He, why are you still flirting with young girls casually? This is not what a good father should do. Come on, I'll help you do it, you go in and reminisce with your old friend."
"I didn't flirt with her. I just thought she looked familiar." He Yijun muttered, handed his business card to Jiang Qin, and walked into the banquet hall with a puzzled look on his face.
"Men are really loyal. They like young people."
Jiang Qin complained and inserted Mr. He's business card into the display slot: "Where did you put the check-in attendant arranged by the hotel?"
The girl raised her head and lowered her voice and said, "I gave him a hundred yuan and told him to go have a meal nearby and come back in two hours."
"Lanlan, you have graduated."
"The boss taught me well, but how did you know they would be willing to put their business cards there?"
Jiang Qin flicked the sign in front of him and said, "Boss He said that all the bosses here like to show off at this banquet. I think that's true. These people are usually very lonely and can't show off to their employees. They can't find anyone to show off to, so they have to take advantage of the exchange meeting to satisfy their cravings."
Wei Lanlan nodded: "Boss, you guessed it right. Just now, there was someone who insisted on putting his business card in the first row, and no one could persuade him to do it. The two people behind him almost got into a fight over who should be in front and who should be in the back."
"They just walked into my trap. When it comes to showing off, who has more tricks than me? Look at our signboard, Linchuan's top business elites, with large fonts and a three-dimensional effect. How pretentious! In such an occasion where we meet our opponents, we would rather lose the battle than the person. Everyone is here to show off, and no one will keep a low profile."
"Boss, isn't this what they call specialization?"
"almost."
Jiang Qin reached out and handed her the car keys: "After you collect the business cards, go to the car and wait for me. I'll go in for a walk."
Wei Lanlan was a little confused: "Aren't we here just for the business cards? It's such a mess in there, why would we go in?"
"Business cards alone are useless. I have to get along with them and understand their temperaments. Not everyone is suitable for cooperation, and a business card doesn't mean you can reach a cooperation agreement. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"Wouldn't it be possible to find out those things by simply searching on the Internet?"
"All the information you find online is fake. Only through this kind of face-to-face show-off can you find useful information."
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, he walked into the banquet hall. At a glance, he didn't see many hairs, but he did see a big belly.
He found a corner with a wide view and sat down. He scanned the faces in the audience and began to memorize them quietly, as well as observing their conversation and the content of their speeches.
Among this group of people are the target partners that he first screened out from the Internet, so it is not difficult to remember them all.
