National Tide 1980.

Life is unpredictable, and there are always too many unexpected changes.

After the Chinese New Year, just as a new force emerged in the country, the skyrocketing prices of building materials shocked the eyes of ordinary people.

No one in the Pierre Caton company had expected that Manager Sha, who had been in a state of panic due to the pressure of auditing years ago, would reveal such a shocking news.

He actually submitted his resignation and decided to leave the company and go into business.

But what is quite strange is that everyone originally thought that Manager Sha and Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin, who were trying to frame him, were already at loggerheads with each other, and that this move was entirely to avoid disaster and was done out of necessity.

Then his departure from the company would not be so peaceful. Given his personality of never suffering any loss, he might cause some trouble.

But in reality, what everyone sees is not like this.

Manager Sha was not only calm and composed, he did not make a fuss as many people imagined. He did not care about the recent suppression against him, nor did he shed blood to fill the deficit in his account.

The company seemed to be very tolerant of him and announced that the investigation into him would be stopped immediately.

Manager Sha even opened his own company in the Pierre Cattan Building and sent opening invitations to his superiors and colleagues at Pierre Cattan.

At this time, some people thought that Manager Sha did this on purpose, and speculated that he did it to disgust the two people he was dealing with.

However, Manager Kesha soon overturned this assumption with practical actions.

He showed great respect to Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin in public, and invited them to attend, as if he hoped to coexist peacefully in the future.

Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin were also very considerate and agreed to his request in person.

This undoubtedly means that there is a certain tacit understanding between them and they have reached a reconciliation long ago.

I have to say that this result was beyond expectations.

Naturally, this caused a lot of different opinions among the spectators, and gave rise to countless suspicions and fantasies.

But no matter who tried to find out the inside story from Manager Sha, he wouldn't tell anyone.

It was not until Manager Sha’s company opened for business that everyone finally figured out what was going on.

It turns out that Manager Sha really has embraced the big thick legs.

I don't know how he managed to shake his tail in private, but he actually became a partner of Mr. Ning, the third boss of Pierre Cardin China Company. The two of them started a company together and started the foreign wine business.

This is the real reason why things have changed like this.

For a time, some were surprised, some were envious, some were jealous, some were regretful, and some were sarcastic.

Some even found Manager Sha and scolded him to his face for being selfish and unrighteous.

But no one can deny that this fat guy is really smart. He actually knows how to get such a powerful backer to protect him and use this method to solve all the troubles he has in the company.

Everyone was even more shocked when they found out what specific business this company was engaged in.

In everyone's eyes, Manager Sha is a bastard who deserves to die.

Because just based on this business, it is impossible for him not to make money, and it is almost certain that he will make a fortune.

Friday, February 1988, 2, 26:.

The banquet hall on the second floor of the Pierre Catton Building was brightly lit, packed with guests, and the atmosphere was warm.

This day was the official opening day of "Moët Xuan Sino-French International Trading Company" founded by Ning Weimin and Manager Sha.

The grand opening ceremony is in full swing at this moment.

American popular music was playing in the banquet hall. Several dancers in ripped jeans were performing on the stage, moonwalking to the music as if they were electrified.

They danced with all their might, each showing off their own unique skills.

There are Thomas full spins, handstand supports, one-handed spins... there are endless of them.

Then, the music stopped, the dancers went down, and as a new song started again, twelve sexy models walked on the catwalk again, wearing Pierre Cardin fashion samples, and performed a fashion show on the catwalk.

At this time, people in Beijing still don’t have a good idea of ​​what fashion is.

That's why Manager Sha came up with such a weird entertainment program just to liven things up.

He first found several well-known amateur street dancers to perform a passionate dance based on the American movie "Breakdance" which became popular all over the country in the second half of last year.

Then, in accordance with the current practice in the capital, twelve models were invited to perform a fashion show.

That’s not all. In order to attract the guests’ attention, he had someone tamper with the already sexy clothes and privately asked the tailor to adjust the sizes of all the clothes.

The chest is lowered again and again, the back is opened again and again, the skirt is shortened again and again, and the back slit is raised again and again.

Needless to say, this was an eye-opener for the people present, a feast for the eyes, and cheers rang out one after another.

As the planner of the program, Manager Sha was naturally looking very pleased and proud at this moment.

However, amidst the waves of applause, there were always whispers of different opinions.

Someone in the back row was talking about how such a show might not be acceptable in a formal setting.

The French are elegant, but these are just vulgar.

Moreover, these programs seem to have nothing to do with the company's business content.

Manager Sha felt somewhat flustered when he heard this criticism, and the first thing he did was to turn around and look for the person who had spoken.

Instead, he paid attention to the expression of Ning Weimin who was sitting next to him, fearing that Ning Weimin might be unhappy.

"Boss Ning, this kind of clothing display is not excessive. Although our company is not a foreign enterprise or a joint venture, it is engaged in international trade after all. I think we should connect with France. Of course, if you think there is something wrong, then I..."

Fortunately, after he carefully explained it, Ning Weimin didn't mind it at all.

Instead, he was very tolerant, not only nodded, but also praised him in person. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's good to have a lively atmosphere. The so-called opening ceremony is just for the guests. The guests you invited seem to be very satisfied. It's good that they are happy. Lao Sha, you have put a lot of thought into this opening ceremony. Thank you for your hard work. I am relieved to leave the company to you."

Just these few words immediately made Manager Sha's heart blossom. He felt that Ning Weimin was a rare genius and confidant in the world.

To be honest, he was really busy organizing the opening ceremony.

From the initial preparations to today's well-organized demonstration, everything was handled by him.

Today, he not only invited all his friends who work in hotels and shopping malls, but also invited some famous actors through his own channels.

For example, the newly popular crosstalk artist Niu Qun, who hosted the opening ceremony, came to the scene because of his face. Due to the lack of manpower at the opening ceremony, Manager Sha also invited all his close friends.

Some stood at the door to welcome guests and distribute gifts, while others maintained order on the scene.

Even his wife and sister-in-law were put to use.

One was helping models change clothes backstage, and the other was making tea and pouring water for leaders and VIPs at the front desk.

Why did he abandon his family and career and devote himself to it wholeheartedly?

Isn't it just to prove my ability and save face in front of Ning Weimin?

Now with Ning Weimin's praise, it feels like all my efforts were not in vain.

In this way, Manager Sha was finally able to put his mind at ease and happily enjoy the highlight moment of his life.

After a round of warm applause, the opening ceremony costume demonstration came to an end.

The guests who came to attend the ceremony walked up to Ning Weimin and Manager Sha one by one and expressed their sincere congratulations to them.

"Please let Chairman Ning speak."

Manager Sha was the most perceptive at this time. He took the initiative to act as the emcee again. Not only did he steal the host's lines, he also promoted Ning Weimin to a higher position.

Ning Weimin smiled. Although he had not made any preparations, he was not afraid of speaking and faced everyone naturally.

"Welcome everyone. Our company is just starting out. It is a great honor to invite you all. I sincerely thank all friends from all walks of life. You are all talented elites in your respective industries. Not only does the era of reform need you, but our company also needs your care. I would like to thank you all in advance. And my greatest wish is to wish you all promotion, wealth, good health, and a happy family. I hope that in five years, we can host a banquet for you all in the same place and drink our company's fine wine again with you all."

Ning Weimin's words touched everyone's heart. Although he didn't say much, the effect was sensational.

The atmosphere was very lively, and many people cheered sincerely.

At this time, the real host took over the conversation, fulfilled his duties, and invited Manager Sha to come on stage to speak.

"Now, please allow General Manager Sha to speak."

It’s just that this sentence was announced by Niu Qun standing on the catwalk to the guests, and I don’t know why it was so funny.

Maybe it’s because his segment “Making Up Excuses” during this year’s Spring Festival is so fresh in our memory.

When he made this announcement, everyone couldn't help but think of his phrase "Leader, colon".

So there was applause, but it was filled with laughter and there was no solemn atmosphere at all. This was the biggest difference from Ning Weimin's previous speech.

However, Manager Sha couldn't care less at this time.

He rushed onto the stage and stood in the center of the catwalk. He cleared his throat and adjusted his tie.

“What is culture?”

He officially started to make fun of it, "Culture is fashion, it is trend. What are fashion and trend? Fashion and trend are avant-garde culture. Avant-garde culture is manifested in clothing culture, which is a hot and strong wind blowing in metropolitan cities. Avant-garde culture is manifested in wine culture, which is a huge wave that can bring us happiness and a sense of accomplishment. The Republic is open and taking off. What the West can do, the East can also do. I want to make Beijing become Paris, I want to make New York bow down to me, I want to make Milan jealous, I want to make Tokyo envious. In a word, I want our Beijing to become a pioneer leading the trend on this big stage of world fashion, and become the leader of fashion and trend in the world. I have a dream..."

I have to say that Manager Sha’s remarks are really in line with Niu Qun’s style.

It did not ruin the comedic effect that the crosstalk artist had just created on the stage.

He himself was unaware of it, but his exaggerated words and serious nonsense while standing on the stage were so powerful.

The audience in the audience could hardly hold back and they just wanted to have a hearty laugh.

But I can't do this due to emotional reasons, which is so painful.

Not to mention some of Manager Sha’s old friends and colleagues, who were sitting in the audience, trying not to laugh and complaining.

"Does this guy know what he is talking about? He has a secret behind his mouth..."

"That's right, what's this and that? Just listen to what he's talking about. He really doesn't know his place..."

"My goodness, this guy is really good at bragging. He is so arrogant. Why does President Ning like him..."

Even Zou Guodong, the main guest of honor, couldn't help laughing and whispered into Ning Weimin's ear.

"Look at yourself. Who is the person you chose? He is just a fool who doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. Is he worthy of your great efforts..."

"Hey, you have to understand that when you are in high spirits, you will feel proud. Everyone needs to release pressure, and it is also a kind of motivation. The saying can be said the other way around. If you don't want to be respected in front of others, who wants to suffer behind the scenes? I believe that even for this kind of glory, he will redouble his efforts to expand the domestic market for me and become my right-hand man."

"You think highly of him. Don't blame me for not reminding you, he is a pervert and will take advantage of every opportunity. If you go to Tokyo and ask a few financial officers to help you keep an eye on him, that won't work. Be careful that he won't change his bad habits and become the master, draining your company."

"Thank you, I know what I'm doing." Ning Weimin stared at the stage. "The good thing about my company is that I have the agency rights, which is a natural moat in the industry. Manager Sha is not stupid, he knows that he will lose everything if he leaves me, so he won't go too far. Moreover, the role of this kind of trading company is sales. As long as we grasp the price and shipment volume, it's useless for him to play any tricks. I set a price bottom line for him, the lowest is 2,000 yuan. The rest is his room for operation and space, and he just swallows up the rest. I won't lose anything, but he certainly can't do it. So from the beginning, I was invincible and I won't lose anything."

"Well, I finally understand. You are really cunning. Lao Sha really can't beat you. If he knew that you had reserved him from the beginning and it was you who forced him to this point, he probably wouldn't dare to have any evil thoughts. After all, everything has its nemesis. Only you can use such materials."

"That's hard to hear." Ning Weimin shook his head. "I'm just using people according to their abilities. Besides, the company has grown to such a scale now that we have to change our personnel. Let's work together to promote internal reforms and complete the metabolism of personnel. It will be mutually beneficial. Isn't that good?"

"That's good, but I still don't understand why you have such a big appetite. If these people leave the company one after another, you will take over all of them, and you won't be afraid of indigestion. Besides, the company replaced them because their abilities did not meet the needs of the company's development. Then why do you still use people with such shortcomings and not directly hire talents with higher education?"

"My appetite is not that big, and my business outside is too messy. I need people to help me. I haven't had my own company because the policy on private enterprises has not been relaxed. Now that the policy is in place, it's time. As for the ability issue, it depends on how you look at it. These people are all self-taught people who came here because it was difficult for the company to recruit people. They don't have high education, but they are experienced. In fact, they are the best helpers in the first stage of conquering the world. I still say that the person who decides the talent is the one who employs him. If he is employed correctly, a mediocre person is also a talent. If he is employed incorrectly, a talent will become a mediocre person. Anyway, things have come to this point, and it's too late for you to regret it now. We agreed that those who find me on their own will be mine..."

As he said this, he turned to look at Zou Guodong and smiled.

Zou Guodong snorted arrogantly, "Don't worry, I don't regret it. I hope you can get rid of these people as soon as possible. But I also have something to say, no matter who leaves, you can't leave..." (End of this chapter)
