The age of chaos

Author: Xu Jiangang patched things together and finally started his own company.

Although small, it is indeed a company, even if it is small, it is also its own company.

On the night of the 2000 th century, which is celebrated all over the world, I hid in my office alone, eating pickles porridge and playing Xuanyuan sword to pass the heavy and boring time.

In the afternoon, Deng, who runs a small company next door, invited me to the Liulichang in the southern suburbs of Chengdu to do business with him. In fact, I have made great contributions to mankind. He used to draw hexagrams, which contained all kinds of situations in the world, so people used it to record all kinds of things that happened in life at that time. I don't want to go because I clearly know that the next day is still the Sunday of New Year's Day holiday, and few enterprises go to work. In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming, and no enterprise will print promotional materials at this time. And even if it involves business, it is impossible to carry out business in the current situation. But how can I refuse Deng's enthusiastic help?

Deng's hometown is in Yuechi County, Guang 'an. After graduating from Sichuan Normal University, he went to teach in the technical school of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Plant. However, this teaching teacher can't set an example at all. Therefore, there is a serious teacher-student relationship in the vocational education of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Company. As a result, a student became pregnant. The father of this student is the principal of this technical school.

Raw rice is cooked, and this "well, young man," said the eagle king, "this is the place you are looking for. Don't you know that the king told Ma Xu that death can't manipulate me and my relatives and friends until I dig out the last root of that big tree? Young man, there will be more than one hundred years old then! You married me. " Yes! "Daughter, live with us carefree until the last moment." The headmaster has no choice but to educate this bold Deng Songlin. First of all, one is her own daughter and the other is her own subordinate. No matter how noisy, she also has an unshirkable responsibility, so she agreed to this marriage with a blind eye.

Deng immediately changed from a penniless bachelor to a man with a house, a family and a wife, which was his first brilliant record of "empty gloves and white wolves".

After teaching in Panzhihua for two years, 1993 Deng decided to give up teaching and try it in Shenzhen. During his two years in Shenzhen, Deng really performed exceptionally well, doing calendar business with friends and achieving a brilliant record of 200,000 yuan. After returning to Chengdu, he opened a small company in Chengdu to make calendars. One of the salesmen he recruited was me, just out of society. I was still very young and knew nothing about Deng's self-made experience.

However, the calendar business didn't come up with any tricks, so Deng went back to his hometown and opened a washing powder factory. Although his quality is not so good, Deng's business talent has been fully revealed. He quickly opened the sales channels in nearby counties and towns, and basically monopolized the local low-priced washing powder market in a short time.

However, with the wanton entry of foreign manufacturers of washing powder, the price of washing powder has fallen sharply, and this small privately-run factory, which is tinkering around the edges and has no guarantee of quality, will soon have no market.

Deng immediately moved to Chengdu, rented an office in Chengdu and opened a shoeshine machine in a small "string company". Soon his shoeshine machine entered supermarkets, hotels and restaurants of major banks in Chengdu. Later, when the market was almost developed, he went to the leather factory to renovate leather sofas-in a word, he looked for project business everywhere.

As Deng often teaches me, we must be flexible in doing business and do it as long as we make money. This sentence has become my famous saying for a long time.

Who knows 1999, one day, I met my former idol in this shabby office building in Liangjiaxiang, Chengdu. I was surprised at that time, and so was Deng. It is not that he will meet unexpectedly, but that I am still so mediocre after many years. I can really accept Deng's criticism and education. First, he is several years older than me, so it is understandable and acceptable to get much better grades than me. Of course, after his criticism and education, he will show the boss's demeanor ―― treat me to a big meal!

Encouraged and egged by him, I accepted his suggestion and pieced together a "company" with only two people, two desks, a telephone and a computer. Obviously, the issue of business license has not been considered!

To dispel my worries, Deng often boasted in front of me: Xiao Xu, don't worry, I will help you! I also appreciate Gordon's help. You must have a good impression when you are developed in the future. At midnight, the village was suddenly crowded with people. Mother and daughter Zhang got up and met the young man. They confidently replied, "The owner of the manor has a male name and a female name." I saw a blaze halfway up the mountain, but the locust temple caught fire. They tried to put out the fire several times, but they couldn't get in because the fire was too big and Fang Ming was gone. If you want to be a madman, you must burn to death in it. At this time, Deng will lightly say with a smile, "Say these things! We are brothers. In the morning, according to the regulations, all the civil and military officials brought the specialties of their hometown for the emperor to have a look. The emperor was very happy when he saw the treasures and treasures from all over the country. There was an official who lived in Qixian County, and there was really nothing to enter, so he brought a ten-catty radish to the Saint. After seeing it, the emperor suddenly remembered what the big radish Gu wanted to offer, so he asked directly by name. Gu Zuo asked, unhurriedly took out a pair of flat radishes from his robe sleeve and presented them with both hands. When the emperor saw it, he was very unhappy and said, "Teacher, you said that Taikang County is rich in radish. Why did you get such a small one? "Gu Zuo said:" I only said that the radish in our county is big enough. Who knew he was older than me? This is the biggest radish in our county. Alas! Taikang county is all diluted with sodium nitrate and alkali. It seems that a few acres of land can't support other people's acres! " The emperor said, "How many acres do you think can stand up to other people's acres? "Gu Zuo said," It's not bad that one acre can top others. " The emperor said sarcastically, "How can it happen to be the top of an acre of three points, and it won't hit the top of an acre of three points?" Hearing this, Gu Zuo quickly fell to his knees and repeatedly said, "Hua Hua, thank you for your kindness! "According to the imperial edict, the land in Taikang County should be divided into mu!" What the emperor said was originally a joke. Unexpectedly, Gu Zuo has kowtowed and thanked him. The son of heaven has a glib tongue, so it is not convenient to correct his words in front of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so he has to say something wrong. Since then, people in Taikang County have paid the imperial grain tax per mu. ! Ha ha ha-"

Regarding Deng's enthusiastic help, can I say that I won't go if I have no money?

The next morning, 1 2, I got up before dawn ―― I should say I got up on the sofa. I had to have two preparations at that time. First, if Deng Songlin didn't call me on the first day, it was just a joke. I couldn't have gone. At the same time, if he calls me and I haven't got up yet, he will be disappointed and won't help me in the future ―― who will help a person who has no ambition, no pursuit and no goal? So although I got up, I didn't open the door. I am ready to wait for his call. The old woman was so anxious that she cried and said, "Master, please send someone to help me. If I can't stop the stone mill from falling, my son and daughter-in-law will die! "

At first, I heard the sound of walking in the corridor. I heard a sentence, "Is this guy up?"

Bang bang ―― Someone is knocking at the door! As soon as he knocked at the door, I opened it.

Deng said to him, "Come on! I thought you didn't get up-"I smiled and said," I got up early! "

Deng Songlin took me to Liulichang in his Chang 'an van. There used to be many brick yards in this glass yard, which was specially built for building houses in Chengdu with a long history. Numerous sofa factories have sprung up in recent years. The sofa factory in Liulichang and the sofa factory in the northern suburb of Jiangjun have formed an obvious north-south trend. These seemingly small sofa factories have an annual turnover of tens of millions.

I really don't understand, just a few things under * * *, why hundreds of thousands! Isn't money money? It seems that some people in this society still have money. The county grandfather immediately turned around and told the touts to do it themselves. ! This is what Deng taught me. "No," the two sisters replied, "why should we go? It's already late, and the dew at night will get our children wet. " Be sure to make money from rich people!

When he arrived at the glass factory, Deng and his nephew went to do sofa renovation business. According to him, he can earn 300 to 400 yuan a day by turning over 50 yuan for a sofa and 100 yuan for two people. He gave his nephew 20 yuan, and the cost of applying any potion would not exceed 50 yuan, so he earned 7,000 yuan a month, which is countless times better than working. You know, the average salary at that time was only 600 to 700 yuan.

I crustily skin of head to meet a few customers who came in a fog, and as I expected, I found nothing.

Near noon, I found Deng, and he warmly invited me to dinner. In order to improve his enthusiasm, I deliberately exaggerated the results in the morning and told him that at least three companies would print a batch of picture books after the New Year, earning at least 20 thousand to 30 thousand! Song-lin deng satisfiedly smiled, "how! Dude, I'm not lying to you! The little girl outside the house is not bragging, ugly or disabled. Why is Fang in such a hurry to marry her? It turns out that Fang Xiaojiao, who is clever and likable, suddenly got a bad disease the year before last and was dull all day. It's no use seeking medical help. Mr. Fang's wife died many years ago. It was suggested that Mr. Fang marry an concubine to celebrate her happiness, and this concubine accepted it. Fang Xiaojiao's illness hasn't improved, but she keeps making noises all day, which makes her family fidgety. On this day, the concubines of the old gentleman were stunned by Fang Xiaojiao. Are all kinds of concubines sick? Fang paid a lot of money to ask a famous doctor for help and bought a hundred-year-old wild ginseng to bring her back to life. The aunt was crying and making noise, so she had to ask foreign employees to drive Fang Xiaojiao out of the house. Mr. Fang is very helpless. He can't stand having concubines or making his little daughter suffer. Therefore, he got the news that he would find a husband's family for his little daughter Fang Xiaojiao, which was a worry. In other words, I can get along well with the boss of this sofa factory-"I believe Deng has this ability! I nodded and said, "Thank you for your help! In the future, when my younger brother gets rich, I must ask Brother Deng to have a good fight! " Song-lin deng smiled, "said these! We are brothers-"

In the afternoon, my family didn't go running, but just wandered around bored. Near four o'clock, I walked up to a man like Deng Song Lin and said to him, "Hey! This yellow leather looks like a person! " Some people who understand will say, "Like a Buddhist." After listening to the letter, they will bow down and help it practice, and it will repay this person in the future. He left. I began to worry and asked around about his whereabouts. What should I do? I keep asking myself.

Suddenly, I remembered Deng's mobile phone number, which I had written down in my notebook. At that time, mobile phones were thousands of advanced gadgets, which were out of reach of ordinary people. I found a public phone and called it according to the number. But Deng Kuo, Deng's younger brother, answered the phone. His brother said that he had returned to his hometown in Yuechi County. I immediately asked Deng's number. Deng Kuo hung up as soon as he said the number.

Thanks to my genius memory, I remembered this number and dialed it immediately. Deng said, "I thought you had gone back! I am now in Bayi Furniture City. You should catch a one-yuan bus to pass the Liulichang toll station at once. That night, Tian Xiucai didn't fall asleep, paying attention to the movement in the monk's room. Suddenly, I heard the sound of water. Tian Xiucai got up and saw an amazing scene through the cracks in the wall: in front of the monk's bed, shiny chess pieces, miniature paddy fields and criss-crossing buildings. Many fund-raisers are busy, some are stepping on waterwheels and constantly pouring water into paddy fields; Some people take plows and harrows and drive cattle to plow the fields. Before the field was finished, the monk planted rice seeds, immediately grew green seedlings, and soon produced heavy millet. Several little people collected rice, ground it into rice, ground it into rice flour, and finally made it into delicious rice cakes. I'll pick you up right away-"

Suddenly I panicked again. How far is Liulichang toll station from here? What should I do if he comes and doesn't see me, or doesn't come at all?

I immediately ran downtown along expressway, and after a long time, I finally passed the toll booth. I stood in front of the platform in front of the toll booth and looked around, waiting for the savior to appear.

The gray sky gradually darkened, and it was raining in Mao Mao. I'm disappointed. After a long time, I walked in the direction of Chengdu in despair against the cold wind and autumn rain.

Suddenly, I heard someone shout: "Xu Jiangang-"My heart warmed up. I followed the sound and saw Deng waving to me. I took a deep breath and ran to the van.

When getting on the bus, Deng Songlin said, "I thought you couldn't wait to catch the bus!" " Just now I went back to Liulichang sofa factory to collect money-why don't you drive-"

I gave a wry smile and said, "The bus doesn't stop halfway-"I wonder if he understands the meaning of this sentence!

I don't think Deng dreams of becoming his brother's manager Xu every day. He has only one dollar on him. He only made two phone calls and spent 60 cents (many years ago, local calls in Chengdu cost 30 cents for three minutes). How can he catch the bus with the remaining forty cents?

Thanks to Deng Songlin for saving me, otherwise I would have to walk at least 40 or 50 miles to Liangjiaxiang, and I would be hungry and caught in the rain in the air, which would be really miserable!
