rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 282 A business boss who encounters setbacks

When Chen Li finished his busy reporting on the first day of school, he chose to return to the rental house.

Although several people had already arrived in the dormitory, these unfilial people didn't even bring him any souvenirs, so Chen Li naturally wouldn't waste his time on them.

Of course, there is another reason for Chen Li to return to the rental house. Ma Xiaoyun and his two friends are back.

This guy said yesterday that he was going to visit his old employer, the Ministry of Economic and Trade, and then it was said that he had an appointment with an old colleague for dinner in the evening.

But as soon as this meal was eaten, Ma Xiaoyun and the three of them were completely eaten.

Ma Xiaoyun and his two friends didn't come back last night, and they couldn't be contacted by phone.

Chen Li finally received a text message saying that Ma Xiaoyun was drunk and arranged to stay there.

Uh~ Okay! Sure enough~ the legend that Ma Xiaoyun is too drunk seems to be true.

The last time Chen Li interfered in the dinner party of Ma Xiaoyun and his Arhat team, Ma Xiaoyun didn't drink much. This time, he probably wanted to ask for help, so.

In the future, Ma Xiaoyun will be a big boss in the business world, and the initiative whether to drink alcohol or not will definitely be in his hands.

But at the moment, Ma Xiaoyun can really only be regarded as a small role. And small roles naturally have no initiative in many things.

Many people may say that this forced banquet is actually a bad habit.

This is true, this thing is indeed not a good tradition, it can also be called a bad habit.

But the biggest reason why this thing can develop into a bad habit is that it is so easy to use!

Let’s put it this way~ These days, most of the business in China is almost done over the wine table.

Not only business, but also promotions and salary increases, debt collection, interpersonal communication, etc. are all inseparable from the wine table.

In Chen Li's previous life, he had an old client who was engaged in engineering. Once, in order to collect payment for the project, he invited people from Party A to come to a nightclub to spend money.

After drinking for three rounds, the other party went straight to a showdown with this guy.

I have money, but I may not get this guy's turn.

Because it’s the end of the year and all parties have to settle money. It’s hard to say whose turn it is and whose turn it isn’t.

Then this guy naturally begged in every possible way, hoping that the other party could pay him the money for the project.

Finally, someone from Party A came up with a solution!

Ten glasses of Russian vodka, the kind without ice, were poured into small beer glasses and lined up.

One cup of vodka is about two taels, and ten cups is two kilograms!

Party A’s people told him to drink these ten glasses of wine and pay 10% for each drink.

After ten drinks, the balance is settled!

To be fair~ This is actually a typical person in trouble!

You must know that the buddy had already drank a lot of wine before he invited Party A's people to dinner, and he drank a lot more when he came to the nightclub.

At this time, if two pounds of vodka is taken away, there are basically only two places for this guy to end up.

Do you want a morgue? Do you want a rescue room?

To be honest, this is indeed too much! But what can be done?

That's not a few thousand yuan, nor tens of thousands of yuan, but a total of more than eight million yuan.

This money cannot be obtained, the workers' wages cannot be paid, the borrowed money cannot be repaid, and there will be no money for new projects in the coming year.

If this guy had any other option, he would definitely not be willing to drink those two kilograms of vodka.

But he has no other choice!

In the end, he chose to drink!

When he drank the fifth cup, this guy immediately became Splatoon and vomited all over the room.

Later, this guy was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with alcohol poisoning!

Haha~ can you not be poisoned?

But do you think this guy is pitiful? No~ In fact, only half a month later, this guy brought Party A’s people to the nightclub again.

the reason is simple!

Even though this guy drank and vomited last time, his "sincerity" was still seen by Party A's people.

Later, this guy went into the hospital, and the people from Party A simply settled the balance directly to him.

More than eight million yuan, every penny has been paid off!

So this time, this buddy invited people from Party A to come over just to thank them!

It's quite funny~ He was obviously forced into the hospital by the other party, but he still had to thank the other party.

Not only do you thank them, but you also have to give them money.

Because the other party still has projects in hand, this guy wants to get a piece of the pie from the other party again.

If this kind of thing is purely divided into good and bad, then the people on Party A are obviously bad guys.

But in fact, the victim, Party B, doesn’t think so. He even feels that Party A’s father takes good care of him, so he wants to sincerely thank Party A’s father.

So~there’s no way to say this!

Because this brother wanted something from the other person, he naturally placed himself in a lower position.

The same principle also applies to Ma Xiaoyun at this moment. He felt that this time he needed to use some of the connections he had made in the past, so he subconsciously placed his position lower.

The consequence of this was that not only did others not believe that he could solve the Y2K problem, they also got him drunk.

Looking at Ma Xiaoyun who was holding a cup of hot water with a disheveled look on his face, Chen Li shook his head.

In his previous life, Ma Xiaoyun once said that he was actually not good at sales.

To be honest, Chen Li didn't believe this at the time. After all, this guy was really good at talking.

How can a person with such a good eloquence not be good at sales?

And looking at Ma Xiaoyun's resume at that time, it can actually be seen that this guy's eloquence is really good.

This is actually nonsense, not awesome. How could this guy take tens of millions of dollars out of SoftBank’s pocket? Not awesome. How could this guy deceive an executive with an annual salary of millions of dollars from an investment company into following him every month?

Only get 500 yuan?

So ~ at that time Chen Li thought this guy was in Versailles!

But facts have proven that a good sales eloquence must be very powerful, but a good eloquence does not necessarily make a good salesperson.

This guy didn't even understand the product positioning, so he just came to the door with two programmers.

This is outrageous, okay?

You must know that the Y2K patch is not a piece of cake. There is no concrete object in front of others, and there is not enough evidence to prove the authenticity of this thing.

You just rely on your mouth to talk, or even ask for help~ Isn’t this nonsense?

In fact, the lower Ma Xiaoyun lowers his stance, the less likely others will believe him.

It's like a good product. If you ask others to buy it, they will definitely think that your product is not good.

But if it's the other way around, if you don't beg others, but wait for others to come and beg you, this is the best way to sell.

Of course, the premise is that your product has the qualifications for others to come to you for help.

Oh~what a coincidence~this final patch for the millennium bug has this qualification.

So at this moment, Chen Li felt a little speechless when facing Ma Xiaoyun who had just hit a wall.

This guy agreed that he was going to keep in touch and get some news, so Chen Li didn't think much about it at the time.

As a result, this guy exposed all his secrets to others. Not only did he not gain the trust of others, but he also got drunk.

And all of this must be attributed to this guy’s mouth!

After this battle, Chen Li understood a truth!

Even those big guys who achieved great success in their previous lives are not actually good at everything.

Why did Chen Li hand over the Y2K patch to Ma Xiaoyun?

First of all, it is difficult for him to deal with this matter himself!

Secondly~ Ma Xiaoyun has connections and connections, and was even a successful business tycoon in his previous life.

In his previous life, when Ma Xiaoyun had nothing, he used his sharp tongue to take tens of millions of dollars in investment from Mr. Sun of SoftBank.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Li believed that with this guy's eloquence, it would be a trivial matter to open the sales channels for Y2K patches.

But in fact, this time Ma Xiaoyun fell into his mouth.

This guy's mouth can turn the dead into the living, and blow the living into the sky!

This is why Chen Li didn't believe that this guy couldn't do sales well before. If Chen Li had such eloquence, would he have been a shitty nightclub director in his previous life?

Then ~ Ma Xiaoyun’s mouth is actually not all his advantages.

Although this guy is extremely eloquent, he also has a habit of boasting and exaggerating.

Okay~ It’s actually what we call bragging!

It is generally recognized that Ma Xiaoyun is good at painting cakes.

This guy's company hasn't even been founded yet, yet he dares to say that he wants to be the greatest Internet company in the world.

You know, this guy doesn't even understand Internet technology himself.

But this is normal. Basically every entrepreneur is actually a master at drawing cakes.

It's just that some people end up painting cakes, while some people just paint.

The meaning of drawing cakes is actually very simple, just to make others believe that the cakes he draws can be made.

Even if the pie that comes out in the end is not as beautiful as the one he originally drew, as long as it can be eaten, everyone will actually be very satisfied.

But here comes the problem~ If the pie is not drawn, no one will believe that the pie will eventually be made.

That is bragging, bullshit, or even a big liar!

Hey, what a coincidence! Ma Xiaoyun is often thought like this.

In the first few years when this guy started his business, he was often regarded as a big scammer and a big liar.

Many people think that Ma Xiaoyun is a bit "fake"! More people think that the cakes drawn by Ma Xiaoyun cannot be "manufactured" at all.

However~ not all people don’t believe in Ma Xiaoyun, some people are still willing to believe that the cakes drawn by Ma Xiaoyun are real and effective.

The one from SoftBank counts as one!

The person who resigned from an investment company and joined Ahri counts as one!

But if you look closely, you will find that these two people actually have one thing in common.

That is, they are actually relatively successful in their original industries.

Needless to say, the one from SoftBank is considered a giant even in the capital market.

And Mr. Cai, who resigned from an investment company, was a highly paid talent with an annual salary of several million in 1999.

In other words, whether it is the person from SoftBank or the person who resigned from the investment company, there is a foundation there.

They can afford the gamble!

Needless to say, SoftBank said that tens of millions of dollars is nothing more than a normal business investment to the other party.

If you make money, it proves that the person has excellent vision!

Losing money is just an ordinary investment failure in the business world.

The same principle applies to Mr. Cai who resigned from the investment company!

First of all, this person does have a good vision. He clearly understands that the development of the domestic Internet has reached a certain stage.

So ~ he chose to join Ali Baba!

If he wins, he will gain wealth that he will never spend in his lifetime.

If he loses, he will only waste a few years at most!

Anyway, this guy has made a lot of money over the years, so he can also afford to gamble!

And it turns out that both of them made the right bet in the end.

Both Mr. Sun and Mr. Cai finally reaped horrific rewards.

So what if the two lose their "bet" this time?

SoftBank is still the same SoftBank, and Mr. Sun is still the same Mr. Sun.

If his investment in Ahri fails, he may make up for it elsewhere.

Even if you can't make up for it, at most it will just be less dividends to shareholders.

What about Mr. Cai? At worst, he can find another class!

Anyway, with this guy’s connections from his previous job, wouldn’t it be easy to find a job?

Therefore, Ma Xiaoyun's deception technique is feasible in the eyes of these two people.

Because for these two people, if they win, the bicycle becomes a motorcycle! If they lose, they will continue to ride bicycles at worst!

But ~ when Ma Xiaoyun used his trick on a small leader of the Ministry of Economic and Trade.

The other party's first reaction is probably...

"Hey Ma Xiaoyun, have you fooled me?"

In fact, to be fair, Ma Xiaoyun really didn't brag much this time, but he ignored the need to use different communication methods when facing different groups.

When Ma Xiaoyun introduced the Y2K patch to this young leader, he subconsciously began to exaggerate the "weight" of the Y2K patch! For example

“Microsoft hasn’t even come up with this thing yet!”

"I'm telling you, I'm going to go to Microsoft when the time comes!"

"I need to talk to Bill."

"We not only need to solve the Y2K problem domestically, but also solve the Y2K problem globally!"

"We want to prove to the world that China is not a desert for the computer Internet."

".!"

Ahem~ To be honest, when Chen Li learned what Ma Xiaoyun said, he almost couldn't help it.

One is that I can't help but want to laugh, and the other is that I can't help but roll my eyes.

To be honest, what Ma Xiaoyun said actually has a certain degree of truth.

It's just that sometimes if you tell the truth, others will believe you.

What kind of people should you face, what kind of words should you say?

When Ma Xiaoyun, a small leader of a department opposite, told him these "big" words, others would believe him!

Moreover, Ma Xiaoyun's request was to ask the other party to help with the matchmaking process, and to conduct testing at the Ministry of Economic and Trade after obtaining the consent of a certain senior leader.

If it passes the Ministry of Economic and Trade requirements by then, the Y2K patch will be able to open up the market.

At that time, we will start with the public sector first, and then move to central enterprises~state-owned enterprises~the Internet industry and all walks of life in the business community.

But Ma Xiaoyun ignored one problem. When he asked the small leader of this department for help, the small leader also had to bear risks.

When the other party introduced him, Ma Xiaoyun first gave a big boast, and then the thing didn't work.

The most Ma Xiaoyun can do is lose his person, lose face, and then walk away.

But this little leader will not only lose points in front of his own boss, he may even lose his job.

Compared with the possible benefits, the risk is obviously greater.

So~ Ma Xiaoyun was naturally drunk by the other party.

Now when Ma Xiaoyun calls the other party, the other party also refuses to say that he has something to do.

Ma Xiaoyun understands! This is obviously a "tactful" rejection!

Therefore, at this moment, Ma Xiaoyun had a frustrated and decadent look on his face, which was very fresh for Chen Li to see.

To be honest, he was used to seeing this high-spirited person in his previous life, so seeing Ma Xiaoyun like this out of the blue was a bit strange.

"Okay~!"

"If you refuse, just refuse!"

"As long as our products are good! Are we still worried about not being able to sell them?"

"Actually, Brother Ma, you thought wrong from the beginning!"

"We shouldn't beg them, we should let them beg us!"

"You just need to tell them we can solve the Y2K problem."

"Also~ although we have tested the Y2K patch ourselves, others don't know about it?"

"So~ the best solution first is..."

Speaking of this, Chen Li gave up! Ma Xiaoyun was really good at it. He put down the water glass in his hand and looked at Chen Li eagerly and asked:

"What is it?"

"Oh~Mr. Chen! Please tell me quickly!"

No wonder Ma Xiaoyun was impatient, he was well prepared this time and planned to make a fortune with the Y2K patch.

He plans to invest the money he earns into a new company so that he will have start-up capital.

As a result, he was rejected in the first round, which was a bit of a psychological blow to Ma Xiaoyun.

"Hehe~!"

"it's actually really easy!"

Chen Li chuckled, and then

"We just need to find a well-known Internet company"

"Can't we just let them test it for us?"
