Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 598
Han Gong thought for a while and explained: "The service life of this material can theoretically reach hundreds of years. This is a mixed material called asphalt-based polyethylene. Asphalt is also called century-old industrial waste. The raw material of polyethylene is basically They are never volatile, and together they must be longer than our human lifespan.”

I hummed and said, "Are asphalt and polyethylene compatible? Does their combination have the function of heat conduction? I don't know chemistry well, but I know that asphalt is incompatible with any substance, right? And how are they possible?" What about the cooling effect?"

Han Gong continued to explain: "We have also considered this issue, we only need to add a few additives to it!"

I asked: "What kind of additive?"

Han Gong said in a bit of embarrassment: "It is inconvenient for me to disclose this for the time being."

I oh and didn't speak again.

Sun Shengguo said dissatisfied: "Didn't you say it? Can anything be discussed here today? Is there anything you can't say?"

Han Gong looked at Hu Junsheng, and Hu Junsheng explained: "Mr. Sun, although this is not a commercial secret, but before a formal cooperation agreement is signed, I think..."

Sun Shengguo waved his hand and said, "There are no business secrets at all. Mr. Chen is not an outsider, so you can say it!"

I hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I don't understand even if I say it, I'm just curious, and it's the same when the finished product comes out."

This is how it went.

Then, it was discussed again. Zhongjing has several relatively weak technologies. Their biggest problem is that the control panel keeps flashing, and then suddenly starts up again at unknown times. The specific reason has not been found.

They really don't treat me as an outsider, and they are willing to tell me this kind of technical loophole in front of my face.

I interjected and said, "We have encountered this problem before. Let me give you a suggestion. Can you see if it works?"

Everyone looked at me, and I explained: "The first is to determine the stability of the power supply of the control panel. The stability of the voltage regulator is very important. The input power conversion device is stable, and the 24 volts can be reduced to 12 volts. It must be enough. Use, if it can be smaller, that is the best. There is also the problem of interference signals, we must find out whether there are any interference signals, and make a device to shield interference signals if necessary!"

A technician raised an objection: "If a device that shields interference signals is installed, will the remote control fail?"

I hesitated for a moment and said: "It probably won't happen. I'm not sure about this problem. I'll give you the phone number of our chief technical engineer. You can go and talk to him. If you really can't solve it, he will now He is at your Tangshan base, I can ask him to come over and have a chat."

Hu Junsheng said happily: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chen, then remember to call Mr. Chen after the meeting, and communicate with yourself!"

The meeting lasted all morning and ended.

Gu Cheng asked next to me: "Mr. Chen, I have a sales meeting this afternoon, can you join me?"

I shook my head and said: "For technical issues, you can share with us, but I can't help you in terms of sales. The sales model of each company is different, and the sales policy and price are not what I should know. !"

Gu Cheng said with a smile: "I think you already know it? Just like I know the price of all of you. We don't need to hide anything."

I still shook my head and said, "Forget it, I'd better avoid suspicion. If you have any questions, you might as well bring them up and discuss them. This is no problem."

Gu Cheng nodded and said, "That's great. After the meeting is over, I'll meet you for a drink at night!"

At this time, Sun Shengguo pulled me and said, "At noon, I invite you to dinner. Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time!"

Both Gu Cheng and Hu Junsheng looked at us suspiciously.

Sun Shengguo explained with a smile: "What? You don't know, is he my brother-in-law?"

Hu Junsheng and Gu Cheng let out an ah at the same time.

I nodded and said, "Yes, Sun is always my eldest brother."

The four of them found a secluded restaurant and ate hot pot.

Gu Cheng asked me curiously: "Mr. Chen, why haven't you said that you still have this relationship?"

Sun Shengguo explained for me: "Because he doesn't want to have me as a big brother!"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "How can I? Brother, what are you talking about?"

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "Think about it, this is a fact, and no one can change it!"

Hu Junsheng hummed and said: "Yes, blood is thicker than water, and close relatives are close relatives! Mr. Sun's family is really an elite! The two giants of domestic home appliances are under the control of your family!"

Sun Shengguo's face changed and he said: "Mr. Hu, I don't like to hear these words. No one can control Zhongjing. I am here to work only to help you. You are still responsible for the group's affairs. I just cooperate with you. work!"

I asked curiously: "Isn't Mr. Hu the executive director of the group? It's the chairman. I saw the letter of appointment, so you..."

Hu Junsheng explained: "Mr. Sun, he is the secretary assigned to us by the ministry. We are a state-owned enterprise!"

I suddenly understood and said, "Ah, discipline!"

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "What discipline do you care about? It's just an old man who has retired to the second line. No one wants him, so he comes to Zhongjing to make a living."

I hurriedly said, "It doesn't look like it came out of your mouth!"

Sun Shengguo sighed and said, "You have to admit it when you get old, now it's your young people's world!"

Hu Junsheng said: "We really need someone like you to check for us. Before Zhongjing, it was a disadvantage that the pace was too fast and too big!"

Sun Shengguo said with emotion: "Yes, I left in a hurry, and I am also responsible. I built Zhongjing with my own hands and feet. I don't want it to fall like this!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the cup and said, "Come on, Ah Fei, let's Have a drink, I can't remember how many years ago the last time I drank."

I raised my glass and said, "Let's go!"

Hu Junsheng raised his glass and said: "Let's respect Mr. Chen together. Thank you for coming this time and solving our problems for us. Thank you for your sincerity!"

After dinner, Hu Shengjun and Gu Cheng both wanted to talk to me again, but Sun Shengguo said, "Let's reunite as a family, let's talk first."

When I arrived at Sun Shengguo's residence, I asked inexplicably, "Why do you live in such a small house? It shouldn't be difficult for you to live in a bigger house, right? No, let's go home and live, the house is still empty!"

Sun Shengguo did not land and said: "Family? How can I have a family? No matter how big the house is, no one is not a family!"

I lowered my head and didn't speak.

Sun Shengguo poured me a cup of tea, sat down and said to me, "Do you have many questions and want to ask me?"

I hummed and asked, "I heard that you were investigated, and I thought you..."

Sun Shengguo smiled and said, "You thought I couldn't get out, did you?"

I nodded.

Sun Shengguo continued: "It's not as serious as you think, and it's not as evil as rumored by the outside world. I did make some mistakes in decision-making, but it's not a big deal. If I lose my position, I will be released. It’s good to be unofficial now!”

I asked vaguely: "I heard that you caused the loss of over [-] million state-owned assets, and many assets are still missing!"

Sun Shengguo sighed and said, "I found it and explained the situation, so it's all right! Don't talk about the past, and look forward to everything. Before you said it, I begged you so much, but you refused to come and help me , How about now, an irrelevant outsider calls you once, and you come to help, you have to explain to me."

I wrote lightly: "In the past, when you came to me, you asked me to come directly to Zhongjing. I definitely wouldn't come. Now Zhongjing is cooperating with Wanzhong, which is different. Technical matters should be communicated with each other. Zhongjing can make such an advanced The technology is brought out to benefit consumers, and of course I want to participate in such a good thing.”

Sun Shengguo looked at me and said, "You still have an idea, I'm indeed inferior to you! I don't have any other thoughts now, I just want to regroup Zhongjing and expand overseas markets. Can you help me with this?"

I shook my head and said: "It's not that I don't help you, it's that you don't need my help at all now. Hu Junsheng and Gu Cheng are both first-class talents. In terms of resourcefulness, Hu Junsheng is no worse than me. In terms of experience, Gu Cheng is better than me." I'm much more sophisticated."

Sun Shengguo sighed and said, "I'm still not one of my own people!"

I persuaded me: "You can't keep the old idea. What is your own person? Anyone who can be used is your own person. Who can you guarantee will be with you for the rest of your life? Even your own son may not be with you forever! You said it all, Zhongjing is not owned by a certain person, just like I am all people. It is not owned by Dong Zong alone, and it will not be owned by me alone in the future. A company is always a company. You can understand it as a tool to make money, but it will never be A part of your body!"

Sun Shengguo hummed and said, "Yes, that's the reason, but I just don't want to give away the company I built by myself!"

I continued to persuade: "It is not Dong Zong who created Wanzhong, but it is not Dong Zong who pushes Wanzhong to the highest peak. Many times, people will not remember the initiator, but the person who made great achievements. Kite You are always afraid that it will fly away, no matter how tightly you hold the string, it will only break the string, the kite will fly away, you loosen it, let it fly with the wind, no matter how high it flies, the string is still in your hand in?"

Sun Shengguo suddenly smiled and said, "Now is it your turn to teach me?"

I hurriedly said: "Don't dare, dare not, I just think people like you are too stubborn and extreme!"

Sun Shengguo asked, "What kind of people are we?"

I explained: "You all belong to people with persistent beliefs, resolute characters, and lofty ideals. Sometimes small people can do great things instead!"

Sun Shengguo tasted my words and said, "Perhaps what you said makes sense! Let's stop talking about these things and talk about the old man. Is he okay?"

I hummed and said, "He's pretty good. You know that geriatric diseases are common, but he's in a good state of mind and in good health, but sometimes he can't remember people and things from the past."

Sun Shengguo hummed and said, "Thank you, you have done so much for this family."

I shook my head and said, "I didn't do anything, we are all a family, and that's what I should do!"

Sun Shengguo said dejectedly: "I should have done these things originally, but since the day I entered politics, I have forgotten the concept of family. I used to focus on improving myself, thinking that I could stand at the highest point. I had a chance. It's a pity. One wrong step and one wrong step!"

I asked curiously, "Is there really no chance?"

Sun Shengguo shook his head and said: "There is no chance, I have been completely marginalized. If I were ten years younger, or I would give it another go, that's it now. However, I think you can try , Do you have any ideas, change your focus, and go on an official career?"

I hurriedly waved my hands and said, "No, no, I never thought about it, and I won't think about it in the future."

Sun Shengguo sighed and said: "Hey, it seems that no one can help me fulfill my wish in this life. The little boy could have done it, but she fell in love with you, so she didn't want to make progress. The second child is stubborn. , In the army, it can be regarded as a smooth rise, but unfortunately, it is not very possible to improve in the future."

I retorted: "What do people want to pursue in this life? I think it is happiness, living in a fair and honest way. Shengnan is very happy now, and my second brother is very happy. You can't use your own life to define the good or bad of others. You may think that The hawkers who set up stalls on the street are not pursuing, so they are not happy. Maybe their family of three is happy! Sometimes, people feel very happy just because they can eat a mouthful of hot rice! Different people pursue different things.”

Sun Shengguo smiled and said, "I can't tell you! By the way, I forgot to ask you something. Is there any news about Liu Ziran? Has he contacted you?"

When I heard that, I immediately became nervous and replied: "No! I haven't heard from him all this time. I thought he was arrested!"

Sun Shengguo said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just asking casually!"

I looked at Sun Shengguo, and thought of the evidence Liu Ziran said, the evidence that threatened him.Could it be that Liu Ziran hasn't handed it over to the relevant people, and Sun Shengguo didn't say anything about them, so it just passed away?

Sun Shengguo looked at me and said, "It is said that the past is over, so don't think about it any more. If there is news about Liu Ziran, just tell me. His sister looked for him some time ago."

I groaned and asked, "Liu Ziran? Isn't she dead?"

Sun Shengguo grumbled and said, "Dead? Who did you hear that from? No, she even came to look for me!"

I looked at Sun Shengguo suspiciously and said, "Didn't she commit suicide?"

Sun Shengguo shook his head and said: "It's all nonsense, nothing, she's fine!"

I hurriedly said, "Can I see her?"

Sun Shengguo smiled and said: "Not for now, she doesn't want to see anyone, I can help you tell her if there is anything!"
