Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 118 Star Reaching Conference 2
Dreaming back to the Gobi Desert, the young Zhang Yong was desperately fighting ahead with a heavy instrument on his back.

Behind him, a well-meaning colleague quietly approached his base station.

Just when the colleague was about to do something to the battery, a mighty Northwest man stood in front of him and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Who are you? Why do you care about me? We are testing, idlers, stay away."

The Northwest man didn't back down, "Who am I? I'm with this guy, what are you doing?"

The saboteur put on a smiling face, "Young man? Zhang Yong from Tiangong?"

"Well, it's him."

……

From then on, he remembered the name, but he was not sure whether it was Zhang Yong or Zhang Yong.

He didn't mention these things to Zhang Yong, but only proposed to help Zhang Yong check the base station in the future.The smart Zhang Yong guessed what happened, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just expressed his heartfelt thanks to this generous Northwest driver brother.

"Brother, here is my business card. If you have the opportunity to come to Beijing, you must contact me. I will treat you to a drink."

"I'm a rough person. I don't know if I have the opportunity to go to Beijing in this life. I'll accept it first. If you come back anytime, just call me and I'll pick you up at the station."

This was their last conversation. The driver brother knew that his name was not Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong.

The life of a taxi driver in a tourist city is plain but exciting. He has seen all kinds of people, but he still drives his car around the streets again and again.Zhang Yong is one of the few people who has always made him a deep memory.

He told his nephew what happened to Zhang Yong as a story, but unexpectedly, the serious nephew decided his college aspirations in this way.

He also didn't expect that the world was changing so fast, so soon, going to Beijing was no longer a luxury for him.He has been there several times. At the beginning, he really wanted to contact Zhang Yong, but when he picked up the phone, he felt that he and he were just strangers.

Until the BP machine officially withdrew from the stage, the thought of contacting was completely cut off.

When he came to Beijing again, chatted with his nephew, and talked about this matter again, he suddenly found that his nephew Li Jian was full of excitement.

"I heard Mr. Hai Gang from Tianshi talk about this past. But I'm a newcomer, so I don't talk too much, so I didn't tell him that I got into M University because of this. He said that at that time, every company was a group of people. Only Tiangong's Zhang Yong did the test by himself. Uncle, is the young man you're talking about called Zhang Yong?"

Uncle nodded firmly, "It's Zhang Yong, I will never make a mistake with this name."

……

……

Zhang Yong, who promised to stay at home honestly, broke his promise to Madam again. Fortunately, Madam never took such words too seriously.

He couldn't wait to arrive at the appointed place, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the long-lost driver brother.

The wind and sand in the northwest were strong, and the driver brother had aged a lot in more than ten years. Zhang Yong stepped forward quickly, and he called out "Brother," and suddenly he was a little choked up, not knowing what to say.

The eldest brother stood up, he was even worse at expressing his emotions than Zhang Yong, he grinned and said, "Oh, oh," but couldn't speak.The two men looked at each other, excited in their hearts, and wanted to express something, but they didn't know what to do.

The eldest brother finally said, "You doll..." He saw Zhang Yong who had faded from his youthfulness and had a mature and stable face, and wanted to say that you have grown up, and suddenly felt that the last time he saw Zhang Yong, he was already an adult. So he changed his tune and said, "Okay, your doll is okay."

Zhang Yong forced a smile and said, "Brother, you are fine too."

Before entering the door, Zhang Yong thought about giving his elder brother a hug, but in the end he just extended his hand when they met. The elder brother was not even used to shaking hands, but he immediately held the other's hand tightly.They both realize that this is actually their first handshake.This feeling is very special. When we were in the Gobi, the two were still strangers who helped each other.When we met again, I regarded the other party as a relative in my heart, but I always thought that I was a stranger to the other party, and I didn't confirm each other's thoughts until I held my hands together.

Li Jian said aside: "Uncle, brother, please sit down first, sit down and chat."

After everyone was seated, he felt something was wrong again, "Brother, you call my uncle Big Brother, what should I call you?"

The uncle glared at him, "You baby, he calls him and you call you, isn't that what men do outside?" All three of them laughed.

Zhang Yong chatted a lot with the driver brother, and the two of them could not have imagined that there were so many things to talk about in the intersection of those few days.Thinking of the Gobi desert in the northwest, the blue sky and white clouds, Zhang Yong couldn't help being fascinated.He suddenly realized that he hadn't left the city for too long.

Li Jian was a little anxious, but he could only listen on the sidelines.

"Li Jian," Zhang Yong suddenly called his name, and he quickly responded, "We'll talk about your matter later, take care of your uncle first. Brother, how many days will you stay in Beijing? How will you arrange it later? I've tried everything A little landlord friendship."

"Don't wait, I have been to Beijing many times, I have been to all the places I should go, and I have eaten all the food I should eat. This time I just came to see Li Jian. Our small place will get boring after staying for a long time. Every time I come Beijing, my heart is wider. But we are tired of staying in a big city for a long time, so we continue to go back to small places. In fact, every time I come, I wonder if I will meet you on the street. In fact, don’t say that Beijing is so Big, even in Dunhuang, it’s not easy to meet acquaintances on the street.”

Zhang Yong's heart was slightly sour, and his mood, which had just calmed down, became ups and downs again.

"Li Jian, why didn't you bring your uncle to me earlier?" His tone became severe, maybe it was because he chatted too happily with his eldest brother, and he regarded Li Jian as his junior intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh, brother, how do I know that you are the one he said. Speaking of this, I confirmed it with him several times before I could believe it. I asked him to call you, but he refused. "

Zhang Yong turned to the driver brother, "Why, brother, don't you want to see me?"

"Where did I have it, I thought, how can such a coincidence happen, maybe I found the wrong person. Also, it's been so many years, maybe you don't remember who I am, so what should I say when you call me?" He is simple and honest, but he looks completely different from Mr. Zhao.

"when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow night. You don't have to worry about it. I'm really happy to see you this time. It's a matter of peace, and there may be fewer people coming in the future. Come and see me if you have a chance. I treat you to eat and drink."

Zhang Yong thought for a while, "I'll make arrangements for tomorrow, since we've already gone to the places we should go. Let's watch a show, time is too tight, we will definitely not be able to get tickets for Renyi. Recently there is a troupe called Happy Twist , are not well-known, but the performances are very exciting. They often perform in nine theaters, and tickets are not difficult to buy. I invite you to watch a play. Then I will practice it for you, and I will take you to the station."

"No, Zhang Yong, I heard from Li Jian that you are amazing now, so I'm happy for you. You'd better be busy with your important affairs. I come and go often, and I don't need anyone to take care of me."

"There are still some things that Li Jian didn't tell you. I'm at home now, and I have nothing to do."

……

……

A tense and fulfilling day passed, and it was getting late at night. Zhang Yong sent the driver brother to the train station, feeling a little bit sad in his heart.

"Zhang Yong, thank you. I have been here so many times, but I have never been as happy as this time. No one took me to see the show. That woman Ma Li is really good at playing. It's very funny. Let me tell you I haven't had a chance to tell you about this matter for more than a day."

"Brother, tell me."

"In the Gobi, I helped you. But you paid me, and before you left, you added more money to me and bought me cigarettes. You didn't owe me anything, but gave me more. I know that Li I want to ask you, and I know that he wants to use me to let you help him. You listen to me, do what you want, don't care about my face, you don't have to help him. I just want to see Seeing you, I don’t want to cause you trouble. You are alone in the Gobi Desert, and you can do everything. Li Jian should learn more from you.”

Zhang Yong held his hand seriously, "Thank you, brother, I understand. Don't worry, I know what's going on."

……

……

After saying goodbye to the driver brother, Zhang Yong and Li Jian came to a tea room.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"We are a small company with few resources, let alone contacts, and we urgently need a good product. We want to use the Mag handheld as an agent. But we also know that our small company has no chance of winning when we compete with others, so I would like to ask Senior brother, give us an area. We don’t need much, one province is enough.”

Zhang Yong shook his head, "We don't accept such a small agency. If you want to do it, you can only do it in a large area. Otherwise, you can only find a partner to be a secondary agency."

"Brother, handheld GPS is more consumer-oriented. The technical content is not high, mainly because of the channel, and it is difficult for the second-level agent to do it. The first-level agent can easily take over the channel that we have worked so hard to develop. We don't want to do this."

Zhang Yong was in a bit of a dilemma. He thought he was a person who was very clear about public and private affairs, and would neither make concessions for the sake of interests nor consider so-called favors.He even thought about the division of the handset business, even if Yi Mu and Xiao Wei came to him, or even Mr. Zhao came to make some special requests, he would reject them without hesitation.

But in the arena, after all, there are some sympathies that cannot be let go. This big brother from Northwest who has almost no conflicts of interest, this junior junior who looks as green as he was back then, all have to re-examine their principles.

He suddenly understood the difficulties of the leaders. There are many human feelings in the world that have to be talked about, and no one can avoid them.

"Your uncle asked me to do business in a matter-of-fact way, and don't consider his favor, but the more he said that, the more I felt dissatisfied. This may be the first time I have not fully followed my own principles to help you. You said that you are not capable enough to do one The big area is mainly a question of funds, right?"

"Yes, the handheld business cycle is fast. Although we will not bet for too long, we have high requirements for cash flow. I am afraid that we will be overwhelmed if we cannot persist in two cycles. If we persist in the current scale, we will Guess you will be dissatisfied in the end, and you will be out if you can’t complete the performance. So we dare not take such a big step.”

"How do you grasp this business? Target users and target markets?"

"I can give you a report. We are restricted only by financial issues. We are confident in our business operations."

Zhang Yong thought of something else, "Have you communicated with Jiang Xiaosu?"

"Yes, he was responsible for this before."

"What did he say?"

"His attitude is similar to yours. He said that with the strength of our company, we are not qualified to be shortlisted at all. It is best to cooperate with others as a secondary agent. He also recommended a company to us. We talked about it, but the other party was very arrogant. We I don't want to cooperate."

"That company?
"Star [-]D navigation."

Zhang Yong thought for a while, and had some impressions. He had heard about this company, and it seemed that Jiang Xiaosu had also mentioned it in his report.

"How did you find me later?"

"Jiang Xiaosu said that we definitely have no chance with him. But you are mainly in charge of the Star Reaching Conference. He said that you are all master M brothers, maybe you can find a way to help us."

"That's it." Zhang Yong nodded, it seems that he still has to face some tests after getting into Mag, but this is not worth mentioning in his heart.

"Mag's big principle cannot be changed. This principle was originally set by me. Orders and regulations are prohibited. If I come up, I will give you the green light. I'm afraid I can't stay in Mag before I get started."

Li Jian couldn't hide his disappointment, "Okay, brother, you don't have to be too embarrassed. Thank you for accompanying my uncle this day, let's cooperate again when we have the opportunity. Anyway, he is very happy to see you this time, and I can feel it. , he is really happy, happier than every time."

Zhang Yong frowned, and stretched out his hand to let Li Jian, who wanted to stand up and say goodbye, sit down, "What are you in a hurry for, I haven't finished talking yet."

"For the Star Reaching Conference, you should apply according to a large region, otherwise there will be no chance."

"Of course it's good, but we..., and Jiang Xiaosu..., I'm afraid..." Li Jian couldn't digest the sudden news, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and was incoherent for a while.

"Do as I say, but I can't decide whether you can get the area, you can only rely on yourself. But as long as you are shortlisted, I will help you find a way to manage it. You also know that the business cycle of handheld GPS is short and the threshold is low. , so even if you enter the door, it doesn't mean once and for all. We can terminate the agency agreement at any time. You may not have signed contracts with these international companies..." Zhang Yong smiled, "It's all overlord clauses, and they won't protect you interests. But you have no choice, only the freedom to sign or not to sign.”

"We are mentally prepared. As long as we can be shortlisted, we will do our best. Brother, let me reveal a little bit. How can we be more sure of getting the agency right?"

Zhang Yongdao, "Spoilers are of course against the principles, but principles are dead and people are alive. I can tell you that I can also tell them when others ask. The core lies in your understanding of the market and your own understanding of yourself." Confidence level. I will have a standard answer at the venue, everyone come to guess the fans, and those who guess the answer correctly will be shortlisted."

"Guess the riddle?" Li Jian was at a loss.

"That's all I can say, go ahead. When you go back to your hometown during the holidays, tell me that I will prepare some souvenirs for your uncle and bring them to him."

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"How?"

"It is said that your eyes are higher than the top, and you don't pay attention to anyone, and you don't give anyone face. I came to meet you through my uncle, but I was not sure in my heart. I just thought, at least, I can get rid of my uncle's incident. wish."

Zhang Yong smiled helplessly, "Maybe this kind of legend is right, but right and wrong have nothing to do with me, it's not like living and doing the same thing."
