When will I have a long tassel?

After leaving Heling, Tang Zifeng went to several other cities in Jinnan according to his original plan. Han Weichang's sales company has a lot of connections in these cities. After Tang Zifeng went there, he quickly struck up a conversation with the owners of some large-scale local private machine tool companies.

What Tang Zifeng said to these small bosses was exactly the same as what he said in Heling, that is, the machine tool industry should not engage in internal fighting. If everyone cooperates, we will win together, and if we fight, everyone will lose. These machine tool companies in Jingnan have indeed been suffering from internal strife in recent times. Some people have tried to stand up and unite various companies to form a price alliance, but they have been helpless. There are also some powerful companies who want to free ride and make money. Cheap, so this kind of alliance has never been achieved.

The arrival of Tang Zifeng changed this situation. Linji Group's name is big enough, and as the main supplier of domestic CNC systems and functional components, everyone wants to sell Linji's reputation, so naturally it is not convenient for them to bite Tang Zifeng. Tang Zifeng used both kindness and power to punish some bosses who had both ends of the spectrum. This made the establishment of industry associations in various places a big step forward.

Forming an industry association, and then using the name of the industry association to restrict everyone's competitive behavior, and crack down on companies that violate regulations, are very complicated matters that require repeated collisions and adjustments. Naturally, Tang Zifeng cannot participate in the whole process. However, the people who take the lead in doing these things are all senior entrepreneurs who have been in the business for many years and have enough experience to deal with various changes.

The establishment of machine tool industry associations in various places cannot completely limit price wars. Each company has various ways to make a name for itself. But with such an organization, at least vicious price competition like the one in the previous stage can be avoided. If any company does something too ugly and breaks the rules of the entire industry, we will have ways to deal with it.

Taking someone's money is like killing your parents. We all agreed to make money together, but you insist on running out to disrupt the situation and make everyone unable to make money. Do you really think that others will not hire someone to beat you?

After traveling for nearly a month and making friends with a large group of private entrepreneurs, Tang Zifeng returned to the capital exhausted. As soon as he entered the house, his mother, Xu Guixiang, grabbed his ears and cursed:

"Wenjun is more than six months old, and you are still running around outside all day long. I haven't seen you for a month. Is there anyone like you who can be a father?"

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Tang Zifeng finally broke free from his mother's grasping hand, hid aside, rubbed his ears and complained:

"Mom, you can't be so cruel, right? The one in Wen Jun's belly is your grandson, but I am your son, okay? You can't do this to your son just for the sake of your grandson!"

"Deserve it!"

Xiao Wenjun, who was staying at home to raise his baby, walked out of the house, placed his hands on his belly as usual, and said to Tang Zifeng with a smile:

"Not to mention whether you are responsible for your future son or not, you are also the general manager of Linji Group after all. You go to Jingnan all day long to eat, drink, whore and gamble with a group of private enterprise bosses. Does this mean you are not missing out on your true career?"

Tang Zifeng immediately understood the key point of Xiao Wenjun's words, and quickly defended: "Wife, of the four items you mentioned, the first two are present, but the last two absolutely do not exist. I will take the fat man's more than 200 kilograms of fat. Meat swears! If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiong Kai, I carry his with me wherever I go, and he can testify for me."

"You can't even drink alcohol!" Xu Guixiang said with a sullen face, "Every time I call home, my tongue is so big. How much alcohol have you drunk? You are just over 30 years old now, and you drink every day like this. What will happen to your body?" ?”

"No, no!" Tang Zifeng continued to quibble, "I don't drink much every time. Xiong Kai helps me with the wine. When ordinary people toast, I just take a sip. As for my big tongue, that's because I'm allergic to seafood. Jingnan. It’s a hell of a place, every time we eat there is a table full of seafood, I want them to have roasted leg of lamb or something, but they can’t find it.”

"When did you become allergic to seafood? Every time you buy seafood at home, don't you eat most of it by yourself?" Xu Guixiang scolded, but there were already smile lines on her face.

In fact, most of Xu Guixiang's pretentiousness was for her daughter-in-law to see. After all, a 6-month-old pregnant woman stayed at home while Tang Zifeng ran outside for a month. The daughter-in-law must have some opinions in her heart. Xu Guixiang took out Tang Zifeng's anger like this, even if he took it out on Xiao Wenjun.

After Dr. Xiao Wenjun graduated, he stayed in the department and became a teacher. During her part-time job at Canglong Research Institute, she produced a lot of results. Some practical results became products of various companies, and some theoretical results became her papers published in top international professional journals. Due to her outstanding achievements, she was promoted to associate professor last year, making her one of the youngest associate professors in Tsinghua University.

Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun got married the year before last, and Xiao Wenjun was pregnant with their child at the beginning of this year. Tang Zifeng is 32 years old this year, and Xiao Wenjun is 29 years old. They are both old enough to have children. Don’t you see, Ning Mo and Tang Zifeng are the same age, and their children are already good at making soy sauce.

Tang Zifeng did not live with his parents after marrying Xiao Wenjun. Tang Zifeng's parents, Tang Lin and Xu Guixiang, have just reached 50 years old and are not yet old enough to need the company of their children.

Tang Zifeng's sister Tang Ziyan is now 26 years old and still single. She could originally live with her parents, but now this girl has completely turned into an urban "white-bone spirit", and her lifestyle is incompatible with the old couple. As long as she stays at home, she will inevitably I quarreled with my parents and eventually moved out on my own.

After all, the Tang family doesn’t lack a house, right?

During this period, due to Xiao Wenjun's physical inconvenience and Tang Zifeng's business trip, Xu Guixiang asked Xiao Wenjun to move in and cook delicious food for his daughter-in-law in various ways every day. Xiao Wenjun's weight has dropped rapidly. Jumped up.

After the fuss, Xu Guixiang went to the kitchen to cook, while Tang Zifeng and Xiao Wenjun went back to their rooms to chat about something that belonged to a young couple, which I won't go into detail.

Early the next morning, Tang Zifeng went out without letting his secretary Xiong Kai come over. He drove his car to a rather high-end residential area near the North Fourth Ring Road. Tang Zifeng's old leader Zhou Heng lived here.

The house Zhou Heng lives in is a loft with an area of ​​about 200 square meters, and only he and his wife live there. In 2003, housing prices in Beijing had not yet risen. The total price of this apartment was 1.2 million, but this was beyond the financial affordability of the couple. The money to buy the house came from Zhou Heng's youngest daughter, Zhou Miaomiao, who paid the entire amount at once, which shocked Zhou Heng and his wife.

After careful inquiry, Zhou Heng found out that a few years ago, Zhou Miaomiao joined a training institution called "New English". This institution was founded by two students who graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University, named Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin respectively. According to Zhou Miaomiao, Guo and Zhang allegedly came to her door out of admiration, asked her to join this newly established overseas English training institution, and gave her 10% of the company's shares.

The reason why Guo and Zhang asked her to join them was that they heard that she had some unique talents in English teaching. Such talents could not be put to use in middle schools. If they went to a commercial training institution, they would be like a duck in water.

Zhou Miaomiao was a little skeptical about what they said, and was also a little unsure about the development prospects of this new other side organization, so she rejected their invitation from the beginning.

Who would have thought that the two of them seemed to have identified her. They invited her out for coffee and chatted several times. After going back and forth, they got to know each other a little bit. Zhou Miaomiao discovered that Guo and Zhang did not set up this English training institution on a whim. Instead, they made a lot of preparations and sorted out many unique tips for taking English exams abroad. From Zhou Miaomiao's perspective, he knew that these tips were all real. Yes, if a student can follow these tips to review and prepare for the exam, the probability of going online can be increased several times.

At the same time, Zhou Miaomiao also discovered that she did have some strengths that the other party did not have, and that was experience in teaching English. In other words, it was reasonable for the other party to ask her to join, and it was not for ulterior motives.

In this way, Zhou Miaomiao, who was already restless, resigned from his teaching position in the middle school and became a shareholder of New Other Shore Organization. After some initial setbacks, New Side Organization quickly grew into the most famous English training institution in Beijing. Not only did it account for half of the students studying abroad for English training in Beijing, but also a large number of students came from all over the country to sign up for classes. Business was so booming that even they I was shocked.

Countless students have brought huge profits. Last year, New Bian's gross profit exceeded 50 million. Even if Zhou Miaomiao only held 10% of the equity, he could still get 5 million in dividends. What does it mean to buy a 1.2 million luxury house for his parents?

When Zhou Heng heard his daughter talk about this legendary experience, he didn't say anything, but he kept it in mind. He checked the backgrounds of Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin through his own connections, and found that their beginnings were closely related to a well-known publishing company in Beijing. The name of this publishing company was "Shuangyu Feihai". Zhou Heng also knew that one of the "Hai" was his old subordinate Tang Zifeng.

Zhou Heng immediately found Tang Zifeng and asked him about the matter. Tang Zifeng was quite candid, giving a full account of his cooperation with Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin. He also said that although Guo and Zhang invited Zhou Miaomiao to join them at his own request, Zhou Miaomiao's contribution to New Other Shore in the past few years was completely worth it. Take that 10% stake.

Guo and Zhang both major in science and are not good at English training. If they want to set up a training institution, they must recruit an English teacher to join them. Since they can find anyone they want, then in line with the principle that the wealth should not go to outsiders, what's wrong with asking them to find Zhou Miaomiao to join?

Zhou Heng knew that this was Tang Zifeng's care for him. He asked Zhou Miaomiao again, and the answer he got was that Zhou Miaomiao is currently very important to New Bianan Company. Her contribution to the company even exceeds that of Guo Xiaoyu and Zhang Jin. The two people sincerely stated several times that they have found the right person. If it had found other partners, New Biangan might not have achieved what it does today.

At this point, Zhou Heng couldn't say anything and could only accept Tang Zifeng's kindness.

After all, this matter does not violate the principle. Today, Zhou Heng is just a retired cadre. Although he has the title of association president in Machine 20, it is only a false position. Tang Zifeng's actual power was much higher than that of Zhou Heng, so there was no motive to please Zhou Heng, but only concern for the old leader.

Zhou Heng is very principled in his work, but he is by no means pedantic. His old subordinates cared about him and provided his daughter with an opportunity to make money based on her abilities. If he continued to nag and refuse to accept it, it would be hypocritical.
