Russia is a great nation, greedy, warlike, and persevering. No one in history conquered them except the Yuan Dynasty. During the former Soviet Union, the Americans used missiles, satellites, aircraft and artillery to fight against them for fifty years, but they could not defeat them. In the end, it won the final victory by relying on trade restrictions in the field of commodity economy and cultural strategies formulated in response to its militaristic national characteristics.
From this point of view, who can say that shopping malls are not battlefields
Since it is a battlefield, of course there will be disputes, struggles, and even war-level business wars.
Business Tao is the lubricant for the operation of society and the main artery that communicates and balances social needs. No matter what kind of social system, if there is a problem in this, it will inevitably affect the stability and harmony of the entire society. Therefore, looking at countries around the world, every era of strong rise is inseparable from a prosperous business society.
Chinese businessmen are a group with strong national characteristics. Whether they are far-sighted businessmen or short-sighted small traders, they all have the following common characteristics: perseverance, hard work, careful calculation, giving up life rather than wealth, and like to fight among themselves.
If the above points are used as standards, Li Muye seems to be completely unlike a typical Chinese businessman, because except for the first point, he does not possess any of the latter. Even the opposite. In the eyes of Lu Shaofen, who is familiar with business history and basic laws, the man in his mind is lazy, spends money like running water, treats money like dirt, and fights externally is obviously stronger than internal fighting. Even though I tried my best, I couldn't find many qualities of a businessman in him.
However, he managed to do many things that experienced and strategic businessmen could not do.
Xiaofen sat aside quietly, watching the man she admired scolding Fang Qiu among several shopping mall veterans, listening to him discussing business affairs there, talking and talking, avoiding the other party's plotting temptations, and responding to the oncoming provocations. I can’t help but sigh: If this thief and con man is willing to put the energy he usually wastes on those boring and shameless ideas into business development, I really don’t know if there will be anyone in this room who is qualified to stand up in ten years. In front of him.
Li Muye was saying: "I definitely don't take Brother Meng's words seriously. As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts, no one is perfect, and there are differences in talents. After all, all-rounders are rare in this world. Although there are many snake oils, there is no way to reach the top, so All walks of life need professional talents, and those engaged in business also need a variety of talents. Those who engage in product development may not be able to do market expansion, and those who are good at market development may not be able to provide good sales services. Cooperation is the way to run a business. In a healthy state, Mr. Shen is the most outstanding product development master. I think there is no doubt about this. At the same time, he is also an undisputed legend in the marketing world, and I only achieved a little success in business development by accident. That’s all.”
"Brother Li is so eloquent!" Meng Qingfu praised: "What you say is meaningful, and every sentence is heartfelt. Your so-called quack businessman has a more solid theoretical foundation than our academic school. No wonder he can work in the port affairs along the East China Sea." Dredging project tenders have won big orders one after another.”
Meng Qingfu really came with a purpose, and he quietly brought the topic back to the original topic.
Bao Wentao immediately took over the conversation with understanding, and said with a strong Hong Kong Mandarin accent: "In today's domestic social environment, everyone who can get such a large government order is very powerful. Not only does Brother Li have the support of Director Bai Xue, , seems to have some relationship with the military, right?"
This person specializes in asking some explicit, straightforward, relatively low-level, yet very tricky questions. Li Muye knew with one glance that he was well prepared. From a connoisseur's point of view, this kid just plays the role of the kid who reveals the emperor's new clothes. Pretending to be upright, in fact, he is deliberately leading the topic into a ditch.
"How is that possible?" Li Muye prevaricated: "They are all the results of normal bidding. The Hongye Group won the bid entirely by compressing operating profits and lowering the quotation. It is a business that makes money at a loss."
"No way." Bao Wentao said: "As far as I know, Hongye Group's construction qualifications have not been completed for a long time. The reserves of personnel, technology, equipment quantity and capabilities have no advantage at all among bidding companies. They only rely on low quotations. It would be child's play to stand out, since all those projects meet military-level requirements."
"Old Bao, you're not interested anymore. Let's open the door to do business. Whether it's competition or win-win, everyone does his own thing. Whatever I do depends on my own ability. I can't say that you didn't get the bid. I got it. , I just got it through crooked ways and connections. If you think that’s the case, it’s very simple. Report me to the relevant departments!”
Li Muye suddenly turned his face, raised his voice an octave, and said to Shen Peijun: "Mr. Shen, I respect you and call you Mr. Shen. You invited me to this party today. I am not good at sociability. Considering that we The cooperative relationship and your many kind invitations, I only accepted it out of favor. What happens after the result comes? I don’t need to tell you what happened, you know it well." After a slight pause, he continued: "This These guys can be considered seniors in the business world. We are all in the public eye. If you say something inappropriate, you should know it in your heart. If any of you say that he doesn't know it now, you and he are not qualified to be here at all."
"Young man, you have gone too far!" Bao Wentao stood up angrily, glared at Li Muye, and shouted: "We are just friends, just making a few harmless jokes. You are young and impetuous. Even this If you can't tolerate your grievances, what else can you do? I think Chen Miao is blind to put his treasure on you!"
Damn it, even at this point, he still hasn't forgotten to test me for details. Li Mu cursed secretly, but turned his attention to Shen Peijun, waiting to see what this old boy would say. It’s okay that they have never met each other. This old boy still has projects with him in Outer Mongolia and Moscow.
Shen Peijun coughed, drew everyone's attention to himself, and then said: "Brother Makino, please be patient. There is a misunderstanding here. It's my fault, the host, for not thinking carefully and not explaining clearly to you. There is indeed no malicious intention, there are temptations, but I guarantee they are not trying to find out your secrets... "
"Brother Shen, you don't have to go on." Meng Qingfu suddenly stopped Shen Peijun from talking and said, "Brother Li is a sensible person. We can't continue this drama, so let's go straight to the point." He turned to Li Muye and said: " Brother, let me tell you the truth, we asked Brother Shen to help us date you today for two purposes, the first is to assess, and the second is to recruit. The assessment has been completed, and the next step is to recruit."
"Recruitment?" Li Muye smiled and asked, "Shouldn't it be a merger or acquisition? What age is this? What does solicitation mean?"
"It means that a powerful organization called the Taiping Society has taken a fancy to your ability and industry, and wants to draw you into the organization." Meng Qingfu said straight to the point: "By joining the organization, you will become one of its own, and you will be able to win over the members of the Taiping Society. Support, resource sharing among members, advancing and retreating together, sharing blessings and hardships. Our goal is to become a Freemasonry in China. The current entry threshold for recruiting members is tens of billions of assets. You might as well think about it. , if you have a good project, or you find a particularly good investment opportunity, and after it is announced among the members and brothers, and everyone brainstorms and pools their resources and contacts to do this together, how much can the chance of success be increased?"
Guo Kan said: "Brother Li, it's not too late for you to think clearly before making a decision. Let me remind you that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For a businessman, there is nothing better than suddenly expanding his network and economic circle. Ten times or even a hundred times better
Chengjia hosted: "If you join the Taiping Society, your business will be peaceful. Whether it is the European Union, North America, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East, we can find channels and partners for cooperation. You are engaged in international trade, so you must know these channels better than me. importance."
If commercial circulation is the main artery of the national economy, then the channels are countless capillaries.
"Hongmen Banquet!" Li Muye uttered these three words softly, then curled up a smile on his lips and said: "Since it is solicitation, I must first know who I am swearing to join. The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Since it is called If there is a Taiping Association, there must be someone who sets the rules."
"You said today's gathering is called the Hongmen Banquet, then let's call it the Hongmen Banquet." Meng Qingfu said: "The rules of the Taiping Association were established by people, and they were established by three very remarkable people. One of the leaders was King Luojia, and A vice-president and a military advisor.”
"King Luojia, it sounds like a hereditary noble in feudal society. The deputy leader still sounds like that. What is going on with this military advisor?"
"The title is just a noun." Guo Kan said: "The important thing is that their strength, wealth and wisdom are much better than all living beings. Under the leadership of the three of them, this association will definitely prosper until the world is peaceful. At that time, all members will surely be able to dominate a country that is as rich as any enemy."
"It's a very good prospect." Li Muye said noncommittally: "There was the King of Han and the Overlord at the Hongmen Banquet."
"King Luojia doesn't have time to come, so he entrusted me to accept you into the guild. What? Are you afraid that I am not worthy enough?" Meng Qingfu said slightly displeased.
"That's not what I mean." Li Muye said: "The conflict between Chu and Han started at the Hongmen Banquet. Since I call myself the King of Han, of course I want to know who my opponent is, King Chu Ba."
"So you're not planning to join the club?" Bao Wentao has long disliked Li Muye.
Li Muye nodded and said: "I have made such a big name without joining the guild. After joining this guild, wouldn't it be even more powerful? With just a little effort, I will become a thorn in the side of the guild leader. Instead of being incompatible with each other in the future, it is better to join the guild." Just be right from the beginning."
Meng Qingfu nodded and said, "Very good. As expected, the military advisor took notice of me, but you still refused."
"This military advisor of yours is my confidant." Li Muye chuckled, then changed the topic and said: "At the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Zhuang also danced the sword. That's about it. Next, is it time for the master to come on stage and practice his skills? Are you adding to the fun?" (End of chapter)
