In the evening, Zhao Guan contacted two friends who started businesses in China and invited everyone to have dinner together.
In the evening, Old Lu and Wang Yanyan arrived as promised.
Old Lu had been back in China for two years. As for Wang Yanyan, Zhao Guan contacted Wang Meigui and found out that she was in the United States. Wang Meigui recommended Wang Yanyan to come over and talk to him.
Old Lu was a doctor. He liked it when people called him Dr. Lu.
When Zhao Guan saw the two of them, especially since Wang Yanyan was a lady, he stood up like a gentleman and moved a chair for her.
"Old Lu, your company seems to be doing very well.”Zhao Guan greeted Old Lu.
Old Lu's company was located in Huayuan Enterprise Base, just like Wang Meigui's company.
However, Old Lu already had seven or eight employees, and his company had already gone up to the 12th floor and had an independent office.
"It's alright. The scale is still relatively small.”Professor Lu was very humble.
After a few words, Zhao Guan got to the point,"Old Lu, isn't the public relations fee in the country too high?”Old Lu understood what Zhao Guan was asking.
Old Lu shook his head, not intending to say anything.
"Sigh, Zhao Guan, this is the truth in China." Wang Yanyan said. You see, even if I cooperate with foreign companies, I still have to give kickbacks to the people in charge.”
"Why are foreign companies like this?" Zhao Guan asked.”
"Foreign companies are also made up of Chinese people." Wang Yanyan laughed.
Actually, if it wasn't for my sister coming back to start a company, I would have planned to be a manager in a foreign company or something. It wouldn't be any less profitable than starting my own company.
If the company found out, they might be fired. However, they were quite bold and asked for it openly.”
"Zhao Guan, I understand what you mean, but that shouldn't be the mainstream of starting a business." The mainstream of starting a business was still sunny and positive.”
Zhao Guan laughed. This was probably what a man in his fifties would say.
Dr. Lu's hair was a little white, but he had almost become the symbol of the 12th floor of the business base because he always liked to contact the various companies on the 12th floor.
He wouldn't have a partner problem. In fact, his partner was his wife.
His wife was working in Silicon Valley while Dr. Lu started his business in China.
Moreover, Dr. Lu was also a visiting professor at Huayuan University. Some of the projects in their department would be handed over to Dr. Lu. Therefore, although Dr. Lu was older, he was the most carefree among this group of entrepreneurs.
Zhao Guan was an engineer in the United States, which meant that he had never been involved in the sales department of an American company.
As for how American companies did sales and how to build relationships, he basically knew nothing about it.
Even so, Zhao Guan was still willing to believe that the public relations expenses in the United States would not be as much as in China.
Because Wang Yanyan was there, Lu Qifa didn't say anything. He only told Zhao Guan that he had to be the one to decide on the partnership. If he wanted to partner up with someone, he had to trust them without any doubt.
Or set a stop-loss point for yourself. If this person is not worthy of your trust, then quickly stop the loss.
" Sigh," Zhao Guan thought." Old Lu, isn't this equivalent to not saying anything?"
After dinner, Zhao Guan suggested that they go to Sanlitun Bar Street.
Since Zhao Guan had returned from the United States, Old Lu would definitely accompany him.
Wang Yanyan said that her boyfriend had something on and left.
Well, now it was up to Old Lu to tell Zhao Guan after he drank.
The two of them took a taxi.
Old Lu wanted to support his business team, so he didn't buy a car. Anyway, his customers were all from Huayuan. He rode a bicycle on campus and signed the contract.
Zhao Guan was hoping for Old Lu's advice, but Old Lu was very tight-lipped. He went to the bar street and drank a lot of wine, but he didn't say anything.
Thinking about it, Ai Zijing had already told him clearly that the situation in the country was like this. Zhao Guan didn't seem to have any other choice.
Ai Zijing had some connections in the Ministry of Finance, which was why Zhao Guan agreed to work with him. However, Zhao Guan couldn't bear the financial opaqueness.
Zhao Guan was drunk that night, but Old Lu was fine. He sent Zhao Guan back to the hotel.
"Old Lu, you're too greedy. You didn't tell me anything.”Zhao Guan said loudly.
"Zhao Guan, the situation in China is complicated. Everyone has their own special circumstances. You can only make decisions based on your instincts.”
Old Lu didn't want to get involved in the matter between Zhao Guan and Ai Zijing. If he said it nicely, he would easily offend people. If Ai Zijing succeeded, Zhao Guan would disband now. Zhao Guan would hate himself for the rest of his life.
It was even more impossible to say anything good about Ai Zijing. If Ai Zijing moved all the money away and left Zhao Guan with an empty company, he would still be blamed by Zhao Guan.
Let him decide for himself.
Some people said that politics was the dirtiest, so business was the second dirtiest.
You have to be on guard against others lying to you at all times.
Your partners might lie to you, your subordinates might lie to you, and of course, your clients might lie to you.
You better have the instinct to tell the truth.
Yes, it was instinct, not skill.
A famous business school professor once said,""Leaders are born."
Leaders really couldn't be nurtured.
Of course, if you believe that you are a leader, you can try.
If you don't try, you might regret it.
