1987: Sleepless Tonight

"It's okay. I'll just sit with you outside for a while. You can make a call and I'll listen and study. I'm not sleepy yet," Su Min said.

She sat on the sofa next to her, wanting to stay with Lu Hao for a while and listen to Lu Hao's phone call.

Lu Hao nodded, walked over and picked up the phone.

It's Wang Xiaohui on the other side of the phone.

He first apologized, "I'm sorry, Boss Lu, for disturbing your rest so late. Your wife is pregnant. Let's speak in a lower voice so as not to affect her sleep. Pregnant women must rest well and take nutritional supplements." Only if it’s good.”

The call I made just now came back now.

As the head of the department of the Government Office, Wang Xiaohui has a very close relationship with the city's leaders. The Government Office mainly handles the communication between the people and the leader who directly serves him is the executive deputy mayor!

With a simple understanding, the government office can be understood as the city's secretarial office, responsible for handling documents and materials of various sizes in the city.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaohui called again, probably to report to the city leaders that KFC was coming to sign the contract.

After getting a reply, I called again to make arrangements and instructions!

Wang Xiaohui's leadership level is already very high, and the higher-level leaders can only be at the level of mayor and deputy mayor of Jiangcheng City.

There is a high probability that he is the deputy leader of Jiangcheng City!

Lu Hao did not expect that the cooperation with KFC could attract the participation of such a big leader. He originally thought that Wang Xiaohui's participation would be quite remarkable, but Wang Xiaohui still had to report the matter of signing a contract. We need the deputy leader from Jiangcheng City to come over.

Amazing!

Jiangcheng City will be promoted to a sub-provincial city in a few years. There are only so many sub-provincial cities in the country, only a dozen or so, 4 in Northeast China, 6 in East China, 2 in South China, and one each in Southwest, Northwest and Central China. .

Jiangcheng is the first and only sub-provincial city in Central China!

The level of the deputy leader is really not low.

This is because at this time, there are still relatively few foreign investments coming in, and they are all less well-known brands, so because he wants to sign a contract with KFC, the deputy leader will go over there to listen and take a look. Look, show your face.

In another 30 to 10 years, it actually won't take that long. Even if KFC signs a contract with him and talks about cooperation in about [-] years, the city's deputy leaders will definitely not come forward, and he will definitely not get this honor.

It's an honor for a person who has a scene to come forward!

Taking a photo with a famous person, someone rich or powerful, even though it is just a photo or a video, it is almost equivalent to endorsing your own business.

Not to mention the future Internet era, many people in business, especially sales, like to post some photos with famous people in their offices as a basis for their integrity and that their products can be purchased with confidence. It seems that It's ridiculous, but many people believe it.

This routine will not only be useful in the Internet era decades later, but it is also useful now. Many people will even print out photos of themselves with celebrities and powerful people, carry them with them, and share them with others. When discussing business, if others don’t believe it, show it to others.

Many people are willing to cooperate and buy the products they promote after seeing photos taken with famous people and powerful people. The proportion of people is higher than it would be a few decades later, because many people have not yet been deceived. Baptism, the ability to identify fraud is relatively low.

Not only do you have to do business early, but you also have to do fraud early. Otherwise, all the good and easy business will be taken over by others, or the psychological defense of people who have been deceived will be raised several levels, and they will be deceived again. It’s much harder for people.

But Lu Hao is not a liar.

He wants to cooperate more with people who have status, fame, and power. One is to consolidate the value of his brand and deepen the credibility and value of his products. The other is to have fewer obstacles.

"Thank you for the leadership's concern. We will go to the hospital for check-ups every once in a while. Everything is fine." Lu Hao said.

Wang Xiaohui definitely didn't make this call because he was concerned about his wife's health. If he really wanted to be concerned, he asked about it on the previous phone call.

But Lu Hao was not in a hurry and followed Wang Xiaohui's rhythm. He had to let the other party lead the way while he followed behind.

"It's good. This is your second child, right? The situation may be better. It's much easier than when you gave birth to your first child. However, the health of the pregnant woman must also be taken into consideration. Heavy work and tiring work are not acceptable. Let pregnant women do it," Wang Xiaohui said.

If the leader is willing to keep things simple instead of talking about business directly, it means that the relationship between them is actually relatively good, and they are valuable in the eyes of the other party and are worthy of being attracted.

If you want to win over someone, in addition to promotion in job, salary, and bonus, you also need to provide mental comfort, such as saying a few more words of concern and asking about the situation at home.

The latter kind of mental relief actually shows the attitude of the leader, that he is willing to train you and win over you. This information must be understood accurately.

But now, Lu Hao understood Wang Xiaohui's intentions and knew the other party's intentions.

With this signal released by the other party, if you take the initiative to get closer, you will not worry about slapping the horse on the butt and being kicked away by the other party.

"That's what the leader said." Lu Hao said, "My wife also said that after giving birth to one child, she is pregnant with the second one, so she is no longer so worried."

You have to express your gratitude to your leaders for their kindness, even if these kindnesses just remind you to pay attention to your health and eat three meals a day on time, it is optional, but you must accept this kindness.

"It's getting late. We can have a meal or a cup of tea to chat about these personal matters later in private." Wang Xiaohui said, "I will report the cooperation between KFC and you to the leader in charge of this aspect. , the leader attaches great importance to you and praises you very much. He also said that the future commercial development of the city depends on you."

The previous sentence shows that the relationship between the two can go further. They can have a meal or tea in private, not talking about work, but only talking about personal matters. This means that the personal relationship can become closer, and they are willing to accept Lu Hao into their circle. , meaning entering one’s own level.

The latter sentence shows that the leaders of Jiangcheng City who are in charge of this aspect attach great importance to KFC's entry into Jiangcheng, and they also attach great importance to Lu Hao.

Most businessmen couldn't hear it, but Lu Hao could hear all the hidden meanings in the other party's words.
