Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 183
The next afternoon, John Qin went to a suit store in the city. At the salesperson's suggestion, he tried on a gray suit with a black shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes.
His figure was always very tall and straight, and he usually didn't show it off in casual clothes, but after he put on a suit, his slouching look instantly became much more heroic.
"You're so handsome. I'm just a clothes hanger."
"When I wear this color, it shows my temperament, spirit, and a bit of nobility. Daniel Wu is nothing more than that."
The salesperson from the suit store followed behind and was silent for a while, thinking to himself that you have already said all my marketing words, so what else should I say?
These days, are all mature customers able to help sell themselves?
"Boss, why don't you buy pure black? A black suit is obviously more calming." Susan couldn't help but say something next to him.
"Pure black? These days, the doormen in the hotel all wear pure black. I'm afraid they will regard me as a colleague."
John Qin looked in the mirror for a long time, then suddenly turned around and posed: "Did you get a new mobile phone? The pixels are pretty good. Come and take a photo of me in a suit."
Susan took out his mobile phone and took two pictures of him: "Hey, it's done."
"Huh? Where's my head?"
"Aren't you...taking suit photos?" Susan looked confused.
John Qin was stunned for a long time, thinking to himself: Are all you programmers like this? "I asked you to take a picture of my handsome face. What's the point of taking a picture of my clothes?"
Susan gritted his teeth, thinking that his boss was forcing a lot of things. He raised his phone and took two pictures: "Okay, now it's okay, right?"
"Well, that's cool. Use your computer to send it to my email tonight."
"Boss, you are so pretty, even worse than us girls."
John Qin chuckled and turned to look at the salesperson: "This is what I'm going to wear. No need to pretend. Help me cut off the tag and I'll just wear it."
The salesperson nodded: "Okay sir, do you want to pay in cash?"
"Yes, Suna goes to pay and remember to issue an invoice."
"oh."
Susan followed the salesperson to the front desk to pay. When she came back, she muttered: "Obviously Sister Lana is your part-time secretary."
"She has more important things and has already made preparations in advance. This is our 208 tradition. The more talented you are, the more you have to wear multiple hats." John Qin sounded like an old capitalist when he spoke.
"Language is really an art. I know you are trying to squeeze me, but I still think it sounds so good."
"What you said is very good. Don't say it again next time."
John Qin tugged on his tie and looked in the mirror again, feeling a little dazed.
The black suit he wore for many years when he was running business in his previous life seemed to be welded to his body.
Therefore, he felt a sense of resistance deep down in his heart, feeling that he would be suffocated when he put on a black suit.
The gray one is better, how handsome.
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"You go back to school, and I'll watch others show off."
John Qin drove Susan back to school and headed to Longkai International Hotel in the evening.
This is a relatively famous star-rated hotel in Linchuan. It is said that it is also opened by members of the Linchuan Chamber of Commerce. They gather here regularly every year, and they also use the fixed banquet hall - Caiyuan Hall every year.
Listen to this name, Caiyuan Hall, how unpretentious and straightforward it is.
John Qin drove in and arrived at the underground parking lot. He found that his A6 was really a little younger in a row of cars.
But it doesn’t matter.
The money is yours, the money is theirs, but one day this money will be mine.
"start."
John Qin locked the car and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. He immediately felt a sense of grandeur. The bright crystal chandelier was so bright that it dazzled the eyes. The wall panels of the lobby were also painted with beautiful mountains and rivers.
On both sides of the front desk, a large strip of light is embedded in the pillars. The warm yellow light echoes the rich gold floor, giving its texture a sparkling effect.
Especially the row of wall clocks on the wall representing different time zones, the international flavor comes up instantly.
John Qin stood in the hall for a while and saw a bright banner that read "Linchuan Chamber of Commerce Year-End Exchange Meeting" hanging on the top.
At the same time, He Yijun was standing under the banner and waved to him.
Boss He is also wearing a suit and leather shoes today, wearing a dark tie that is suitable for his age group, and has a shiny back hair. He is really handsome.
"Just as I said yesterday, talk less and read more, and don't ask for business cards."
John Qin nodded: "I know Mr. He. After entering, I didn't say a word. I found a corner, crossed my legs and pretended it didn't exist."
The more straightforward he was, the more He Yijun wondered: "What on earth are you doing here?"
"It smells good."
"I really can't see through you."
John Qin waved his hand calmly: "You don't have to think too highly of me. Just think of me as an ordinary college student. I came out this time just to see the world so I can brag to my roommates when I go back."
He Yijun didn't believe it at all: "When we first met, you put Manager Yue into a trap with just two or three sentences. I absolutely don't believe you have no purpose."
"Mr. He, what exactly do you want to say? You might as well say it directly."
"You have helped me teach my daughter well. I don't want you to get nothing this time, so tell me who you are eyeing and I will get you a business card."
In the era before WeChat QR codes, things like business cards still had certain practical value, especially the business cards of the company's top leaders, who generally would not be given to others at will.
Unless you are his potential customer or potential partner.
I heard that some powerful business owners even use gold to make business cards, which shows how valuable they are.
So with the boss's business card, you may not be able to negotiate a cooperation, but you can certainly talk it through. This is what He Yijun meant when he asked for a business card for him.
To put it bluntly, without this business card, you may not find the opportunity to cheat again, but with this business card, you are equivalent to having the qualifications to cheat.
But John Qin waved his hand and rejected He Yijun's kindness.
"Mr. He, I really don't want a business card. I don't want anyone else's. I'm just here to see the world."
"This is really strange..."
He Yijun glanced at him and without saying anything else, he took John Qin and walked towards the designated financial resources hall.
But as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a large group of people gathered around a table. Among them were several acquaintances of He Yijun, such as Mr. Qin from the convenience store chain, Mr. Ming from the building materials business... ..
When the crowd dispersed a little, He Yijun and John Qin found a gap and moved over. They were surprised to see two standing signs over 1.8 meters tall placed on the left side of the entrance to the banquet hall.
A signboard that reads Linchuan Chamber of Commerce·Dinner Guest Signatures already has a dozen signatures on it.
Another business card display area with the words "Top Elites in Linchuan Business Circle" has a transparent card slot made of acrylic, which has been stuffed with more than a dozen business cards, all belonging to this president or that director.
In addition, there is a table next to the standing sign, with the signature place written on red paper, and a young girl is handing pens to the bosses who come and go.
"I don't remember that there was no such thing before?"
He Yijun couldn't help but be stunned after looking carefully for a few times.
"This dinner was done professionally and grandly. You rich people really know how to play."
John Qin also leaned over and took a look, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Did you bring your business card?"
He Yijun turned to look at him.
"Where did I, a college student, get this business card? Besides, this is only for the top elites. I won't throw this person away. Mr. He, please do it."
John Qin took the marker from the girl's hand and handed it to He Yijun.
He Yijun took it and wrote his name, and then took out a business card from his business card holder, but before inserting it, he couldn't help but take another look at the girl behind the desk.
"Why do I think you look familiar? Raise your head and let me take a look."
John Qin laughed out loud instantly: "Okay, Mr. He, why are you still casually hooking up with a little girl? This is not what a good father should do. Come on, come on, I'll help you get in. You go in and reminisce with your old friends." ."
"I'm not hooking up. I really think she looks familiar." He Yijun muttered, handed his business card to John Qin, and walked into the banquet hall with a puzzled look on his face.
"Men are really dedicated and they like young people."
John Qin complained and inserted Mr. He's business card into the display slot: "Where did you do the sign-in person arranged by the hotel?"
The girl raised her head, lowered her voice and said, "Give him a hundred yuan and ask him to go have a meal nearby and come back in two hours."
"Lan Lan, you are ready to go."
"The boss taught me well, but how do you know they will be willing to give you their business card?"
John Qin flicked the sign in front of him: "Mr. He said that these bosses like to show off at this banquet. I think it's right. These people are usually invincible and lonely, and they can't show off to the employees. They can't even find someone to show off to. If you meet your opponent, you have to take advantage of the exchange meeting to have fun."
Lana Wei nodded: "Boss, you guessed it right. There was someone who insisted on putting his business card in the front row just now. No one could persuade him. The two people in the back almost got into a fight because of who was in front and who was behind."
"They just bumped into my gun. When it comes to pretentiousness, who has more tricks than me? Look at our standing cards. We are the top elites in Linchuan business circles. They have large fonts, three-dimensional effects, and a lot of pretentiousness. In this kind of chess, we will meet our opponents. In a special situation, the loser does not lose the battle, everyone is here to show off, and no one will keep a low profile."
"Boss, does this mean specializing in a skill?"
"almost."
John Qin reached out and handed her the car key: "After collecting the business cards, go to the car and wait for me. I'll go in and take a look around."
Lana Wei was a little confused: "Aren't we just here for the business cards? It's a mess inside, so why go in there?"
"Business cards alone are of no use. I have to show them the right face, and I also have to find out their temperament. Not everyone is suitable for cooperation, and cooperation cannot be negotiated with just a business card. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"Can't you find out those things just by looking them up online?"
"Everything I look up online is full of fakes. Only through this kind of show-off can we get useful information."
After John Qin finished speaking, he stepped into the banquet hall. At a glance, he didn't see a few hairs, but he saw a lot of big belly.
He found a corner with a clear view and sat down, his eyes swept across the faces in the audience, and he quietly began to memorize faces and observe their conversations and content.
Among this group of people were the target partners he had first selected from the Internet, so it was not difficult to remember them all.
