1987: Sleepless Tonight

This was a rejection of Meng Shichao's proposal not to meet his father alone.

At the same time, he also rejected Meng Shichao's threat and would not rent out an entire floor of shops to him.

It sounds nice to say that there is no need for discounts. Whatever the store rental price is for others, that is the store rental price for others. But when the contract is signed, or when the other party is really required to pay rent, it will definitely come out again. situation.

With the other party's arrogant and domineering attitude, blatantly using his identity and background to threaten him to facilitate his business, and coupled with the other party's deeds that don't understand any etiquette, the words from the other party cannot be trusted.

When cooperating with others, if you don’t know whether the other party will keep their promises, you can first understand the other party’s character through words and deeds. Not to say you understand everything, but at least have a general understanding. Refer to the words and deeds, and then prepare for subsequent cooperation. or not as a basis for judgment.

If you are rude and threaten others with your background and identity when talking and doing things, you have to be extremely careful when cooperating. There is a high probability that the other party will not cooperate sincerely.

Even if a contract is signed and written down in black and white, the resources and background at hand will be used and the contract will not be executed.

There is no need to say that it will not be implemented, it is just that the current conditions at hand are limited and the requirements in the contract cannot be fulfilled, and delaying it can drag people to death.

Just like private restaurants, people from government agencies and state-owned units pay me to eat and drink with a black and white note, but it's useless. Many restaurants have been dragged to death in this way.

Not just now, but also three to forty years later, many units, including individual bosses, especially in the engineering field, will be dragged to death in this way.

A small contractor, or a slightly larger contractor, finally found a project with his people, and was able to subcontract some projects, and signed a contract. However, after the subcontracted tasks are completed, the project payment needs to be settled. However, the general contractor or Party A defaulted on the project payment for various reasons.

The quality of the project did not meet the requirements. When the contract was signed, the materials provided were incomplete, the qualifications were not in place, and the contract could not be counted. In other words, Party A did not settle the bill for itself, and the superior unit did not allocate funds, so it was not possible to pay for the time being. The downstream unit settles the project payment, etc.

You don’t even need to say that you won’t pay, just that you don’t have the money for the time being, and you have to wait until you re-construct the non-compliant areas and rework them to meet the requirements before settling the project payment.

It doesn't take long, only three to five years, to destroy the small contractor who was originally living a good life, and even force the contractor to work part-time and sell his property to pay his subordinates.

Capital has never been a concern. What is really scary is that capital and power are combined and colluded. Let alone ordinary people, even people with small assets and small status cannot bear it.

"Boss Lu, are you using the city to pressure me? Even if you don't give me this face, aren't you afraid that the business in hand will end?" Meng Shichao looked at Lu Hao, his words full of threats.

This was the first time he met such a tough private boss as Lu Hao. He went to other provinces to wholesale clothing with fashionable styles, good sales volume, and low prices. When people in the factory heard about his identity and background, they would give him face and give them to others. The clothes are given to him first, and the price is very favorable.

Including reporting your identity and background when going to the railway department, it is also very useful. A railroad car is immediately arranged to transport his clothes, and the freight is also very cost-effective.

As well as the friends he gets along with on weekdays, they are also very polite to him.

The boss doesn't charge you for eating at a restaurant that knows him well, including going to the wholesale market to wholesale the clothes he brought back from other provinces, or letting some shopping malls sell the clothes he wholesaled. Who wouldn't give him face?

In a word, for a meal, he even offered to give him cigarettes.

But when he arrived at Lu Hao's place, he was rejected.

Could it be that he didn't understand what he meant?

But if the business can be so big, Lu Hao shouldn't be unable to understand the meaning behind his words.

If you refuse after hearing this, you really don’t give him any face.

"Of course I'm a little scared." Lu Hao said with a smile.

Meng Shichao came in earlier and threw the cigarette to the ground, but it was still on the table. He ignored it, but touched his cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it, and lit it, "But no matter how scared you are, you have to stick to some things." The renovation and expansion project of Wanjia Department Store seems to be a business invested and run by me alone. However, this project is currently in Jiangcheng, but it has received full support from various relevant departments and the city. Why does the city Do you want to support this project? Not because you fancy me as a person, nor because of any collusion between me and various leaders and relevant departments, but because this project represents the face of the city and also represents an attitude of the city. .”

Lu Hao spoke slowly and did not curse because of Meng Shichao's threat.

Just narrating plainly.

“I say it represents the face of the city. That’s because all relevant departments in the city, including the city’s leaders, fully support this project. They also put forward a lot of opinions on the future planning of the project and will support it. If we don’t pay such attention, To make this project bigger and stronger, as a business point that Jiangcheng can use and speak of, or even as a tourist attraction, it will definitely not be acceptable in terms of face." Lu Haodao.

"It's attitude, because I am a private owner, and the business I run is also a private enterprise. Although the policy has been liberalized to encourage the development of the private economy, there are still many private owners, including foreign investors, who have no confidence in our policies. , I have some doubts about the determination of the leaders on economic reform. The city is so supportive of this project. If the project is completed, it also means that the city highly recognizes the private economy and private bosses."

"A thousand dollars buys horse bones. When others see the success of the Wanjia Department Store reconstruction and expansion project, they will know that the joint development of the state-owned economy, the collective economy, and the private economy is not empty talk, but something that is real and can be seen."

When dealing with people like Meng Shichao, the reason for rejection must be high-sounding, and it must be based on the leaders above, the relevant departments, and the policies of the country.

The righteous words he wants to say make it impossible for him to find any faults from a personal perspective.

It's not that if you say this, the other party will definitely give up, but if you say this, you will be able to stand up when you argue and find someone to comment on.

At any time, you must package yourself as selfless and a righteous party!

The renovation and expansion project of Wanjia Department Store actually benefits me the most, but when promoting it to the outside world, we must bring the city with us and tie it together!
