Chapter 530 Hopeless Hope

The season of 1996 has arrived with rain.

Dead trees come back to life in spring, rivers break ice, and wild geese fly north, but the temperature is still cold in the vast land of north and south China. Wang Xiaokai took advantage of the cold spring breeze and returned to Lijin, the capital of southern Hunan Province.

That day he went straight to Aiwa Electronics Operations Center.

Aiwa Electronics Operations Center is bustling with activity.

The peak season for home appliances before the New Year has taken the capacity of China's DVD player market to a new level. Hu Zhibiao took advantage of the completion ceremony of the country's largest DVD player production base built by Aiwa Electronics and the gimmick of large-scale state-owned capital injection at the provincial and municipal levels to launch a large-scale marketing promotion, which instilled sufficient confidence in dealers and sales continued to rise. At present, Aiwa Electronics is a bit like a pig standing on the vent of the wind. At least the employees are full of hope for the prospects of their company.

At this point, Wang Xiaokai, a sales employee, felt it the most deeply.

When he was first promoted in November last year, many dealers were not buying into Zhang Yunqi's policy of payment first and delivery later in order to extract payment for goods and maintain the smooth operation of Aiwa Electronics' capital chain. They shook their heads when they heard about this, which led to salesmen like Kaizi having to battle wits and courage with that group of cunning and shrewd businessmen, and they had to spend a lot of time talking every time.

There is a company in Zhuzhou that distributes home appliances. Kaizi made thirteen trips last November, never getting tired of it. He even picked up several girls in those thirteen trips. He was almost kicked out by his boss several times, and the boss said all kinds of nasty things to him.

However, the more Kaizi talked, the more excited he became. In the end, his purpose was no longer to do business, but to see the boss being irritated by him. In the end, the boss was so annoyed by him that he begged him, "Isn't it okay for me to do it? I just want to ask why you do this to me!"

Wang Xiaokai leaned against the door and chewed a steamed bun and said, "I just want to learn from you what the worst attitude is and what the worst words are. I will be able to do anything in the future."

The dealer stared at him for a long time and said, "I have never seen a salesman with such a thick skin. The young are really formidable!"

This was Wang Xiaokai’s first business after joining Aihua.

In the first round of the battle with society, he won a great victory!

As for now, Aiwa Electronics' sales in central China have surpassed Samsung, and the market is much better. The distributor in Zhuzhou even transferred the payment directly to Aiwa Electronics' account without saying hello.

At present, the DVD player market in Central China has been completely opened up. It only needs to maintain normal advertising and channel maintenance. General Manager Hu Zhibiao has formulated a new marketing strategy. In the first half of this year, the South China market and the East China market must be conquered. During the meeting, Hu Zhibiao decided to lead the team to his hometown of Guangdong on March 1 to carry out marketing.

At the meeting, Wang Xiaokai took a look at the team list and saw that his name was not on it. He became anxious and immediately expressed his desire to join the team to explore new markets.

For him, although Hu Zhibiao gave him the responsibility of the network distribution market in several important prefecture-level cities in southern Hunan to show his full trust, southern Hunan is Aihua's base camp, and with the resources of Lianzhong, the entire market distribution network system is already very mature. He only needs to maintain the normal operation of the entire market system. He spends all day calling to solve the problems of dealers. He has become the company's market operation and maintenance personnel, which is meaningless. The main reason is of course that the commission is too low. He will not be able to get a high commission until the contracts of these dealers expire and they sign a new cooperation agreement with Aihua Electronics.

Hu Zhibiao looked at Wang Xiaokai's reaction and said to him with a smile: "You have other work arrangements."

After Hu Zhibiao said this, Wang Xiaokai was at a loss for words.

After the meeting, everyone left the conference room in twos and threes. Hu Zhibiao, who was walking behind, called Wang Xiaokai. Wang Xiaokai stopped and said, "What's the matter? President Hu."

Hu Zhibiao said: "Your work will be arranged by Mr. Zhang."

Wang Xiaokai was stunned for a moment and nodded.

After a day of meetings, it was almost evening when I got off work.

Wang Xiaokai did not return to his dormitory.

Aiwa Electronics has arranged a dormitory for him because he was transferred from Jiangchuan, another place, and was promoted to regional mid-level business manager, which meets the requirements for dormitory provision.

Of course, his dormitory was actually very simple, in an old two-story building in Linjia Chong. It was very old, dark, damp, and narrow. People with larger waists could not pass through it, so they had to lift their hips and suck in their waists like dancing ballet. However, in the 1990s, such a cramped residence was the dream of many people in Lijin.

Kaizi took a bus to leave Huarong Jinhuishan. The bus passed through the streets where lights were just coming on, crossed the Orange Island Bridge where the Xiang River was surging in the dark night, and finally stopped at the Xiangnan Normal University, two and a half miles away.

Wang Xiaokai got out of the car.

The campus of Xiangnan Normal University was straight and wide, without any distinctive features. The Yuelu Mountain in the distance had sunk into darkness. There were lights on the teaching buildings. Under the street lights, the girls who were walking around the campus with textbooks in their arms, occasionally made crisp laughter, which brought a touch of warmth to this cold night in early spring.

Wang Xiaokai bought two steamed buns and wandered around the campus aimlessly. He didn't know where to go or what to do. Occasionally, a group of female college students passed by him. When he saw a familiar figure, he couldn't help but stop. Even though he knew it was not her, he still couldn't help but look.

In the many years that followed, he had many experiences in his life that were similar to this moment, living a rich but painful life with hope without hope and expectation without expectation.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
It was a cold night in the ancient alley.

Zhang Yunqi grabbed Liu Ying.

There was no point in her doing that.

The resistance and tears of a poor person may move a hard-hearted person, but they cannot move a person blinded by profit. If feces were valuable, the poor would most likely not have an asshole.

The current situation is that most of the aboriginal residents of Xiaogudao Lane do not agree with the compensation agreement issued by the demolition and construction company and have not signed it. This means that after tonight's incident, they have become so unscrupulous that they don't even want the piece of paper to show fairness. They drove people out and directly flattened Xiaogudao Lane, not afraid of the aboriginal residents to appeal through normal procedures. This is the first time Zhang Yunqi has seen such a cruel act in his two lives.

Of course, they dare to be so fearless because they have something to rely on.

The Qingwu South Road Pedestrian Commercial Street is definitely the largest and most important commercial development project in Lijin at present, and the whole of Lijin is paying close attention to it. Although it was Yang Jiarong's predecessor Song Zijian who called out the slogan of "Work hard for 100 days to speed up the development of the pedestrian street", it must have been voted through meetings of all sizes.

For such a large project, which is operated with high leverage, the funding chain will be in danger if the delay lasts one more day. No one can afford the cost of the project being stranded. In a sense, everyone involved is helpless and has been tied to the chariot. There is only one way forward, so in the absence of cooperation from the residents of Xiaogudao Lane, the current approach must have been tacitly approved by some people.

After Song Zijian left office, Lu Feng even said at the mobilization meeting: "Qingwu South Road Pedestrian Street is the No. 1 key investment attraction project in Lijin. It is a new journey for us to deepen the construction of the four modernizations in Lijin. We must forge ahead and move forward vigorously, and strive to write a new era of high-standard changes in the Star City! You must firmly grasp the purpose of seizing time, overcoming difficulties, and promoting strong progress. In order to build the overall situation of Lijin, it is also worth promoting the revolutionary selflessness and self-sacrifice of a small number of people!"

In this situation, Zhang Yunqi knew very well that Yang Jiarong would definitely not get involved. He had just arrived and his foundation was not stable, so it was impossible for him to do anything for ordinary indigenous people like Liu A'sao.

Because it is such a huge project with so many complicated and intricate relationships, if he expressed a different opinion, it would only cause the conflict to escalate quickly and put himself in trouble.

Taking all these factors into consideration, Zhang Yunqi has clearly realized that it is imperative to flatten the small ancient road alley, at least no one can stop it for now.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yunqi was not stupid enough to go against the entire Lijin City! He wanted to get the Qingwu South Road Pedestrian Street project. He wanted this building to collapse, but he had to wait until it was built.

Of course, for now, he couldn't just ignore Liu Ying's matter, but he and Lu Yuanzhou had only met once, and Lu Yuanzhou probably had forgotten about him. Lu Yuanzhou glanced over at this time, probably because of Liu Ying's intense reaction.

Zhang Yunqi thought about it, took out his phone, found Liu Mingde's contact information and called him, saying, "Boss Liu, can you please do me a favor and release this person?"

Liu Mingde still hadn't figured out what was going on, and was puzzled: "Release them? Release whom?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "What happened in Xiaogudao Lane tonight? Don't you, the big boss behind the scenes, know? One of my classmates lives in this area. Her house has been razed to the ground, and her grandfather was beaten."

Liu Mingde was stunned for a long time. He and Zhang Yunqi had no grudges, and of course he knew that this guy had a complicated background. In fact, he knew all these details clearly after a little inquiry, especially at the end of last year, Zhang Yunqi and Qiao Zhiwu had a dispute over the interests of the Qiaokou Town project. At that time, many people knew about this matter. Liu Mingde knew both parties and knew that the final outcome was that the extremely arrogant Qiao Zhiwu admitted his defeat and left. More importantly, Yang Jiarong came from Jiangchuan, Zhang Yunqi's old nest.

Zhang Yunqi is such a big tree that even the local snake Qiao Zhiwu has to stay away from him. He is not easy to mess with. Of course, Liu Mingde doesn't want to mess with him either. This Hong Kong businessman knows the principle of harmony bringing wealth. He has always had a good relationship with Zhang Yunqi and once wanted to get him to invest.

Liu Mingde laughed dryly and said in a thick Hong Kong accent, "Boss Zhang, please don't be offended by the people below who are careless in their work. These are just some minor misunderstandings. Since he is a friend of yours, his injuries are not serious, right? I will pay for the medical expenses. Let's be harmonious."

Zhang Yunqi said: "Thank you, please find Lu Yuanzhou."

He hung up the phone.

Soon, Lu Yuanzhou's phone rang.

He stood there and chatted for a while, looking towards Zhang Yunqi from time to time. Finally, he hung up the phone and waved his hand. A strong man next to him picked up the old man who had fallen into the pile of broken bricks, dragged him out of the yellow line, and threw him in front of Liu Ying.

Liu Ying helped the old man up. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, but his face was covered in mud and dirt, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. It was also unknown how seriously injured he was. His body was shaking, and his chest was heaving violently. He was almost out of breath.

This poor old man probably saw the excavator coming in and trying to push his ancestral house, so he struggled desperately, and that led to the scene we just saw.

However, how many times has the scene just now been played out in the small ancient alley tonight?
The Qingwu Road Pedestrian Street is huge and its development is carried out in stages. Eight plots of land have been planned for the entire street, and the area of ​​state-owned land use rights for each plot is between 1 and 3 hectares. More than 3000 households are involved, and Xiaogudao Lane is only a smaller plot among them, with more than 400 households!

Zhang Yunqi said to Liu Ying, "Let's go and take your grandfather to the hospital. We can talk about other things later."

Liu Ying wiped her tears, nodded, and then helped her grandfather up.

The two were about to leave when Lu Yuanzhou came over and patted the dust on his white shirt: "Boss Zhang, you are a friend of Boss Liu Mingde, right?"

Zhang Yunqi raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yuanzhou: "I guess so."

The words "I guess so" sounded meaningful to Lu Yuanzhou. And for some reason, Liu Mingde obviously didn't tell Lu Yuanzhou about Zhang Yunqi's background, not even his name, but just said that this young man was his friend. But Liu Mingde probably wouldn't have thought that Lu Yuanzhou had already met Zhang Yunqi, and even got to know Zhang Yunqi's situation without Zhang Yunqi knowing.

Lu Yuanzhou smiled and said, "By the way, I seem to have seen you at Xiangnan Normal University last time?"

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yuanzhou asked again: "Were you going to pick up Li Yufei that day?"

Zhang Yunqi couldn't help laughing: "Come to think of it, we were just casual acquaintances before, but you even know this. It seems that you care about me a lot? But it's boring to talk about these things that you know so well."

Lu Yuanzhou stared at Zhang Yunqi for a long time, nodded and laughed: "Interesting, I have indeed admired you for a long time. Chairman Liu just greeted me and said that we will pay for the medical expenses of this old man. Mr. Zhang is such a big shot, so he naturally won't care about such a small thing. I think we can do this. The matter of this old man's house is just his family, we can solve it privately and give him a satisfactory compensation plan."

Zhang Yunqi said: "Thank you."
