The next afternoon, Jiang Qin came to a suit shop in the city. On the advice of the salesperson, he tried on a gray suit, a black shirt, black trousers and black leather shoes.
He has a very tall figure, and he doesn't look so tall in casual clothes. But after putting on a suit, his sloppy look instantly became much more heroic.
"So handsome, I'm just a clothes rack."
"This color looks elegant, energetic, and a little noble on me. Even if Daniel Wu came, he would look just like this." The
salesperson in the suit shop followed behind him in silence, thinking to himself, you have already said all my marketing words, so what else can I say?
Nowadays, can mature customers help to sell themselves?
"Boss, why don't you buy pure black? Obviously, black suits make people look more stable." Sunai couldn't help but say something beside him.
"Pure black? These days, doormen in hotels all wear pure black. I'm afraid they will mistake me for a colleague."
Jiang Qin looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, suddenly turned around and posed: "Did you get a new phone? The pixel is pretty good, come and take a picture of me in a suit."
Sunai took out his phone and took two pictures of him: "Okay, done."
"Huh? Where's my head?"
"Aren't we...taking pictures of suits?" Sunai looked confused.
"???"
Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time, thinking, are all you programmers like this: "I asked you to take a picture of my handsome face, what's the point of you taking a picture of my clothes?" Sunai gritted his
teeth, thinking that the boss was really troublesome, and raised his mobile phone to take two more pictures: "Okay, is this okay now?" "
Well, that's decent. Send it to my email from the computer at night." "
Boss, you are so conceited, even more than us girls."
Jiang Qin chuckled and turned to look at the salesperson: "I want this one, no need to pretend, help me cut off the tag and I'll wear it directly." The salesperson nodded: "
Okay, sir, are you paying in cash?"
"Yes, Sunai, go and pay, remember to get an invoice."
"Oh."
Sunai followed the salesperson to the front desk to pay, and when he came back he muttered: "Sister Lanlan is obviously your part-time secretary." "
She has more important things to do, and she has already made preparations in advance. This is the tradition of our 208. The more talented you are, the more you have to hold multiple positions." Jiang Qin spoke with the tone of an old capitalist.
"Language is really an art. I know you are exploiting me, but I still think it sounds so good." "
You said it very well. Don't say it again next time."
Jiang Qin tugged at his tie and looked in the mirror again. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He had worn black suits for many years when he was doing business in his previous life. It seemed as if they were welded to his body.
So he had a sense of resistance from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he couldn't breathe when he put on a black suit.
It's better to wear gray, so handsome.
"Let's go." "
Where are we going?"
"You go back to school, I'm going to watch others show off."
Jiang Qin drove Sunai 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 every year and use a fixed banquet hall every year - Caiyuan Hall. Listen
to the name, Caiyuan Hall, how simple and straightforward it is.
Jiang Qin drove in and came to the underground parking lot. He found that his A6 was really a little bit of a younger brother among a row of cars.
But it doesn't matter.
The money is yours, the money is theirs, but this money will be mine one day.
"Let's get started."
Jiang 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 dazzling. The wall panels of the lobby were painted with mountains and rivers. On both
sides of the front desk, a large strip of light was embedded in the main beams. The warm yellow light echoed with the gold floor, making its texture sparkle.
Especially the row of wall clocks on the wall, which represent different time zones, the international flavor came up in an instant.
Jiang Qin stood in the lobby for a while and saw a bright banner with the words [Linchuan Chamber of Commerce Year-end Exchange Meeting] hanging on the ceiling.
At the same time, He Yijun was standing under the banner and waved at him.
Boss He was also dressed in a suit and tie today, wearing a dark tie that was very suitable for his age group, and combed his hair into a shiny back, which was really handsome.
"Just do as we said yesterday, talk less and watch more, don't ask for business cards."
Jiang Qin nodded: "I understand, Mr. He, I won't say a word after I go in, find a corner, cross my legs and pretend I don't exist."
The more straightforward he was, the more puzzled He Yijun became: "What on earth are you doing here?"
"To smell something."
"I really can't see through you."
Jiang Qin waved his hand calmly: "Don't think too highly of me, just treat me as an ordinary college student. I came out this time just to see the world and brag to my roommates when I go back."
He Yijun didn't believe it at all: "When we just met, you tricked Manager Yue with just two or three sentences. I absolutely don't believe that you have no purpose." "
Mr. He, what do you want to say? Just say it directly."
"You 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 ask for a business card for you."
In the era without WeChat QR codes, business cards still have certain practical value, especially the business cards of the top leaders of companies, which are generally not given to others casually.
Unless you are his potential customer or potential partner.
It is said that some awesome corporate CEOs 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 definitely have a say. This is what He Yijun meant when he asked him to ask for a business card.
To put it bluntly, without this business card, you may not find an opportunity no matter how good you are at fooling people, but with this business card, you are equivalent to having the qualifications to fool people.
But Jiang Qin waved his hand and rejected He Yijun's kindness.
"Boss He, I really don't want business cards. I don't want anyone's. I just came here to meet people."
"This is really strange..."
He Yijun glanced at him and said nothing more. He took Jiang Qin to the designated financial hall.
However, as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw a large group of people gathered in front of a table. Among them were several acquaintances of He Yijun, such as Boss Qin of the convenience store chain and Boss Ming of the building materials business... When the crowd
dispersed a little, He Yijun and Jiang Qin found a gap to move over. They saw two more than 1.8 meters tall standees placed on the left side of the banquet hall entrance.
One read Linchuan Chamber of Commerce·Dinner Guest Signature Card, and there were already more than ten signatures on it.
The other read Linchuan Business Community Top Elite·Business Card Display Area, and there was a transparent acrylic card slot on it, which had been stuffed with more than a dozen business cards, all of which were from this general manager or that director.
In addition, there was a table next to the standee with a sign-in place written on red paper, and a young girl was handing pens to the bosses who came and went.
"I remember there weren't these things before?"
He Yijun was stunned after taking a closer look.
"This dinner was so professional and grand. You rich people really know how to have fun."
Jiang Qin also leaned over to take a look, with a look of emotion on his face.
"Did you bring your business cards?"
He Yijun turned his head and looked at him.
"How can a college student like me get business cards? Besides, these are for the top elites. I can't afford to lose this person. Mr. He, please do it."
Jiang Qin took the marker from the girl and handed it to He Yijun.
He Yijun took it and wrote his name on it, then took out another business card from the business card holder, but before inserting it, he couldn't help but take another look at the girl behind the table.
"Why do I feel like you look familiar? Look up and let me take a look."
Jiang Qin laughed out loud: "Okay, Mr. He, why are you still flirting with young girls casually? This is not what a good father should do. Come on, let me help you. You go in and reminisce with your old friend." "I didn't
flirt with her. I really feel like she looks familiar." He Yijun muttered, handed his business card to Jiang Qin, and walked into the banquet hall with a puzzled look on his face.
"Men are really loyal and they like young ones."
Jiang Qin complained and inserted Mr. He's business card into the display slot: "Where did you put the check-in attendant arranged by the hotel?"
The girl raised her head and lowered her voice: "I gave him a hundred yuan and told him to have a random meal nearby and come back in two hours."
"Lanlan, you've become a master."
"The boss taught me well, but how did you know they would be willing to put out business cards?"
Jiang Qin flicked the sign in front of him: "Mr. He said that these bosses who came like to show off at this banquet. I think it's true. These people are usually very lonely and can't show off with their employees. They can't find any opponents even if they want to. So they have to take advantage of the exchange meeting to have a try."
Wei Lanlan nodded: "Boss, you guessed it right. Just now, there was someone who insisted on putting his business card in the first row, and no one could persuade him. The two people behind him almost fought because of who was in front and who was behind."
"They just walked into my trap. When it comes to showing off, who has more tricks than me? Look at our signboard, it says "Top Elites of Linchuan's Business Community". It's large-font, has a three-dimensional effect, and is so pretentious. In such an occasion where both sides are evenly matched, we would rather lose the game than the opponent. Everyone is here to show off, and no one will keep a low profile." "Boss, isn't
this what they call specialization?"
"Almost."
Jiang Qin handed her the car keys: "Wait for me in the car after you collect the business cards. I'll go in for a walk."
Wei Lanlan was a little confused: "Aren't we here just for business cards? It's a mess in there, what are we going in for?" "
Business cards alone are useless. I have to match their faces and understand their temperaments. Not everyone is suitable for cooperation, and you can't conclude a cooperation just by having business cards. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle." "Ca
n't you just check those things on the Internet?"
"A lot of what you find on the Internet is fake. Only in this kind of pretentious part can you get useful information." After
Jiang Qin finished speaking, he stepped into the banquet hall. At a glance, he didn't see many hairs, but he did see a lot of big bellies.
He found a corner with a wide view and sat down. He scanned the faces in the room and quietly began to memorize their faces and observe their conversations and the content of their conversations.
Among this group of people were the target partners that he had first selected from the Internet, so it was not difficult to remember them all.
