I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 210 You Are a Talent

After Cao Jinbo finished speaking, his eyes stayed on me... At this moment, I really have a hard time, if I refuse him, I am afraid he will take the opportunity to make things difficult for me; if I agree, I will indeed do what I did to him The business that walks on the edge of the law is afraid...so, I don't want to be in the same boat with him.

After some weighing, I finally replied: "Mr. Cao, you made a special trip to invite me today, it's enough to give me face... But I'm really not sure how long I can stay in Dali, if you put important I did the things for me, but I have to leave here, isn't that a disappointment to your good intentions!"

Cao Jinbo smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking... You won't be able to leave so easily. If you want to leave, leave early. You won't wait until today."

I looked at Cao Jinbo in embarrassment.

Cao Jinbo added: "Outsiders say that I am not doing a clean business... huh, but they don't know that the taxes I pay to the country every year, no matter whether it is an individual or a company, are all countable. Why?... ...Because when I was young, I made a mistake, and that time I put my own brother in it... People, I have to have a long memory, so what I do now is legal business, and I dare not touch illegal things dip!"

I denied it: "Mr. Cao, I didn't mean that, I..."

Cao Jinbo interrupted him only halfway through the conversation: "You don't want to hear, what did I ask you to do?"

"Uh...you tell me, I'll listen."

Cao Jinbo lit a cigarette for himself, and then said: "I have three inns in operation in the ancient city, one in Shuanglang with a sea view, and two bars in Renmin Road and Honglongjing Bar Street... I'll come Looking for you, I hope you can help me manage the hotel and bar industry under my name as a professional manager... I am not educated, and I am not as innovative as you young people... To be honest, I did it for you For these things, I think you are a brave and resourceful young man, and I can't go wrong if I ask you to do things for me."

After a short pause, Cao Jinbo said again: "Cao Xue is my nephew, and my elder brother entrusted me with it... I can't let him drive the car for me for the rest of my life; I think it's time to find a decent person to take him Now, when he gets on the road, I can leave these bars and inns to him to take care of... But, it is hard to find decent people, and it is even harder to find decent people who can do things and are smart!"

I didn't speak, but the activity in my mind never stopped, because I had experienced Cao Jinbo's falsehood, so I didn't know which of his words were credible and which were not.

I finally said: "Cao Xue is actually a pretty good person, but you have prejudice against him, I think he can be his own."

Cao Jinbo asked with a smile, "Do you believe me when you say this? Mi Gao, you are a straightforward guy. If you have any conditions, just ask me. It's no fun to go around like this."

"Mr. Cao, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Ever since I left Shanghai, I have no intention of working for others...so you have to give me time to think about this matter."

Cao Jinbo said very straightforwardly: "Success, I will give you time... I will also express my opinion to you. If you are willing to come over and do things for me, I will pay you a basic salary of 2 yuan a month; in addition , I, Cao Jinbo, do not have any business that loses money, I am willing to share part of the profits with you, the specific ratio depends on how much sales you can make, the higher the sales, the higher the ratio."

As far as facts are concerned, compared with my salary in Shanghai, Cao Jinbo’s offer is already attractive enough, and the cost of living in Dali is far lower than in Shanghai, so just the basic salary is enough for me to live easily in Dali ...However, what I told Cao Jinbo was also true. Apart from those concerns, I really have no idea of ​​working for others; moreover, it is not easy to say whether this is another game Cao Jinbo did.

Many of the industries he is currently involved in are strictly restricted in terms of environmental protection, so he may want to borrow me to win over Sun Jiwei...

Probably because I have suffered losses before, or I have some experience. At this time, I was surprisingly calm, and then thought a lot about the possibility of Cao Jinbo's move, but I didn't imagine myself as a talent, but He won the appreciation of Cao Jinbo.

Perhaps, now I am not confident enough.

……

After a while, Cao Xue bought cigarettes and returned to Jiulongju; Cao Jinbo finally changed the subject and said to me: "Aren't you going to sign a contract with me? I have a dinner later, so hurry up and take them out. I signed it."

I hastily took out the contract I had prepared earlier from my bag, and handed it to Cao Jinbo.

Cao Jinbo glanced at it briefly, then signed his name on it.

Before leaving, Cao Jinbo told me to think carefully, and then left with Cao Xue, a stone in my heart finally fell... At least, from the current point of view, Cao Jinbo is not my enemy, I can be safe Most of them finished their New Year's business in Jiulongju.

Under the scorching sun, I was in a good mood... However, when I thought of Tetsuo and his sea view inn, I became depressed again. I had a strong premonition that if he insisted on being so stubborn, the possibility of accidents would be very high Big... For now, I'm still willing to believe the news from Sun Jiwei.

……

In the afternoon, I met with Sun Jiwei, and I gave him the short-term rental contract signed with the guest and the contract signed with Cao Jinbo; filing; then we went to the tax bureau and paid some symbolic behavior tax and income tax.

So far, my temporary inn in Jiulongju has become a business without loopholes, which is the result of my hard work; of course, the help of others is also indispensable, such as Cao Xiaobei and Sun Jiwei.

In the evening, I took Sun Jiwei to the bar where Nicole often sang... Nicole is still there, which proves that she is indeed unable to go home because of her previous rebellion, and she is also a lonely person, because she lost her lover and lost her loved ones.

In the flickering lights, Nicole played the guitar and sang "The Price of Love" quietly. She didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations, but her eyes got wet as she sang... probably reminded of the girl who called her A thoroughly let down man.

This is not a good time to get involved with her emotions, so I turned my gaze to her, poured Sun Jiwei a glass of beer, and said to him: "Brother, I have something to tell you... When Cao Jinbo signed the contract, he asked me to help him... Look, is there something tricky about it?"

Sun Jiwei was surprised, and then asked, "What conditions did he offer you?"

"He asked me to help him manage the inns and bars in the ancient city, as well as the sea view inn on the side of Shuanglang... He gave a monthly salary of 2 yuan, and there should be profit sharing later."

Sun Jiwei sighed: "Hey, except for the closed Seaview Hotel in Shuanglang, Cao Jinbo has no business that loses money... If you give you [-]% of the profit share, you can get it, and it will be good for a year." Hundreds of thousands... This condition is quite good!"

"So, I think this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface... I think he may be taking advantage of my relationship with you. After all, he has so many polluting industries that your Environmental Protection Agency is focusing on. Luo Zhumingtie If he wants to deal with him, he must find another person to help him protect himself!"

Sun Jiwei laughed: "Haha... I'm just a small section chief, and you think highly of me... Even if he wants to find a backer, it must be someone who can match Luo Zhuming... It's useless to rely on me! Said It's hard to hear, I can't protect myself now!"

After speaking, Sun Jiwei picked up the wine glass and drank the beer in it in one gulp. He looked a little depressed.

After a short pause, he said to me again: "If you want to listen to my opinion, let me tell you: this is not a bad thing...you can try it, this should be the best time for you to accumulate contacts in Dali, It is also the best opportunity."

I have no words, but I have a lot of self-consideration in my heart.

Sun Jiwei patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no need to underestimate one's self... You are a talent, and it is so hard to find a talent now! I think that Cao Jinbo can make this request with you at this time, which shows that he He really has foresight and magnanimity... It's not the rumor that the outside world must pay back... Hehe, there must be a reason for a person to be successful. He Cao Jinbo can make the scale of the industry so large, there must be something special about him... You Well, be more confident. Why did so many people invest and do business in Jiulongju before, losing money and walking away, but you can do it so successfully?...Bold, careful and resilient, this is why you are extraordinary The place!"

I smiled, not necessarily agreeing with all of Sun Jiwei's words, but it was quite rewarding to be praised by him.

……

Taking advantage of the silence, I picked up my phone and opened WeChat to check. There was a request to add a friend. I thought it was a guest consultation, so I added it... Habitually checked the dynamics of this person's circle of friends, but found that it was Cao Xiaobei, because there was a post with a photo of Yang Sisi in it: "After you left, I opened a coffee bar in the ancient city. Every night at ten o'clock, I would give customers a cup of pudding milk tea for free. People asked me why It's free...I smile, because I'm the happiest at this time...We met at ten o'clock in the evening 53 days ago...I miss you, I miss you so much!"

I have mixed feelings, when I feel warm because of Ye Zhi; in the same city, there is another man who tore his heart for another woman... Come to think of it, this is really not a perfect world!

As many people are happy, there are as many people who are sad... and time, most of the time, cannot give comfort.
