Chapter 888: Connections

"What's the point of mentioning such a small matter?"

Yan Shuai snorted. In fact, it was because he was fighting in the dormitory at that time and was taken advantage of by Wang Yongbing. In Yan Shuai's opinion, this was undoubtedly his loss.

He naturally wouldn't mention such things if he lost a fight.

Yan's father glared at him fiercely, pondered for a moment, and said, "You just came to school and fought with others. How can you get along with them in the dormitory like this?"

"I've moved out long ago."

Yan Shuai said lightly: "I rented a house from next to the school."

"Did you live off campus?"

Yan's father was stunned for a moment, then he was furious and said, "Why didn't you tell me anything?"

“I’m already in college.”

Yan Shuai said in a verbal statement: "I am already an adult now, so I can't tell you all the trivial matters, right? I can only make the decision on some things myself."

Yan's father was speechless by him.

After picking up the water cup and taking a sip, Yan's father thought for a while and said, "Then how about your relationship with the three classmates in your dormitory now?"

"What can it be? That's it!"

Yan Shuai curled his lips and snorted: "By the way, I saw them looking for a job outside the school a few days ago and being a tutor, haha!"

“Is this strange?”

Yan's father glared at him and said, "What's wrong with him working part-time?"

"If you are poor, you can't afford to work and study."

Yan Shuai said disdainfully: "Just like this poor man, why do you tell me not to bully the young man poor, haha."

Yan's father's face darkened and he said angrily: "What do you know?"

"I don't understand, you understand, okay?"

Yan Shuai is not afraid of him.

"Uncle Yan..."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Han Xue hurriedly persuaded him: "...In fact, they can't blame Yan Shuai for fighting, so don't scold him."

No matter what, Yan's father still had to give Han Xue's face. He took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile at Han Xue, and said, "Well, I understand Han Xue."

"Uncle Yan."

Li Rong's eyes turned, she changed the topic and said with a smile: "I heard from Yan Shuai that you are in business, are you? I am quite interested in doing business. Can you teach us some experience?"

"Are you interested in doing business?"

Yan's father was a little surprised when he heard this and said with a smile: "Then why did you choose the Chinese medicine major?"

"Didn't it just my parents gave it?"

Li Rong said with a smile.

"So that's how it is."

Yan's father nodded and said in a deep thought: "This is not as easy and simple as you imagined. To sum up, it's just four words, be careful in everything."

"Be careful in everything?"

Li Rong was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

"It's very complicated to do business. You have to know everything. And some businesses, to put it bluntly, are personal connections."

Yan's father sighed, raised his water cup and took a sip, and said casually: "I came to Kyoto this time because of this connection. I am the agent of Chen Laoji's herbal tea drinks. Do you know this?"

"Well, I heard Yan Shuai say it before."

Li Rong nodded and smiled, "I heard that you are the general agent of Liao Province, are you?"

"Yeah, yes."

Yan's father gave Yan Shuai a blank look and immediately said to Li Rong: "Chen Laoji herbal tea is currently very well sold in the domestic market. The people have a high recognition of this Chen Laoji herbal tea and have a very good impression. So simply put, as long as you have the goods in your hand, you will not have to worry about selling it."

After a pause, he continued: "The problem is that there is so much population in the country. If one person drinks a can of Chenlaoji herbal tea a year, it will be more than one billion cans. But the problem is that some people may not drink it, but some people drink a lot. So, in total, it is not a big problem to sell one billion cans a year. However, the biggest problem here is that Chenlaoji herbal tea beverage does not have such a large production capacity. I came to Kyoto this time to get the goods."

Yan Shuai put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to Yan's father: "Dad, are you coming to Kyoto to get goods? Is there a production base for Chen Laoji's herbal tea in Kyoto?"

“Not here.”

Yan's father shook his head and said, "It's because Chen Laoji's herbal tea beverage company has changed at present. I heard the news that they are going to establish a group and hold a meeting in Kyoto City to discuss."

“Set a group?”

Yan Shuai was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "What does it have to do with you when they set up a group? Can we allocate more goods quotas to our family after establishing a group?"

"I think Uncle Yan means that Chen Laoji's herbal tea beverage company has changed, so he must come here to learn the first-hand news. At the same time, he wants to inquire about the future changes in the company structure and who is the chairman of the group. What sales tasks will be set for provincial agents like Uncle Yan?"

Li Rong said thoughtfully.

"Well, what Li Rong said is right."

While Yan's father said, he gave Yan Shuai a look and said, "I just said, what is business? Business is connections! The situation of Chen Laoji's herbal tea beverage also tells you that this product is in a state of supply and demand. Moreover, to put it bluntly, if someone else is willing to do it, there are many people who want to do it. In this case, why should people ask you to do it?"

Yan Shuai was stunned when he heard this.

"By personal connections, isn't it? Uncle Yan?"

Li Rong asked tentatively.

"Yes."

Yan's father nodded and said, "Contacts are on the one hand, and on the other hand, it depends on your personal abilities and sales channels. However, the most important thing among them is naturally the connections."

"I see."

Li Rong nodded and said, "It seems that this business is really complicated."

"There is no simple and easy thing to do in this matter."

Yan's father sighed, and at this moment, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and took a look, and answered it: "Hey, Mr. Fang, I am Old Yan... Well, do you say that Mr. Tao has finished his work? OK, then where will we meet? Where to book the location... Well, okay, I'll go here now."

After hanging up the phone, Yan's father stood up and said to Yan Shuai and the other two: "You eat slowly, I'll take a step first."

“We’ve finished eating too.”

Yan Shuai glanced at Han Xue and Li Rong and said, "Let's go too?"

Han Xue and Li Rong naturally had no objection.

"Dad, who is this Tao?"

Yan Shuai asked his father casually as he walked.

"Mr. Tao is the general manager of Chen Laoji's Herbal Tea Beverage Company."

Yan's father explained: "This time we have agents from several provinces come here, first invite Mr. Tao to a meal, and then ask for information."

After Yan Shuai and others came out of the restaurant, opposite the luxuriously decorated Huaguo Hotel. Yan's father and those agents had already inquired about it before. Tao Guoqiang was here. After coming out, Yan's father looked around and saw a few middle-aged men in suits and tie smoking standing by the road. He said to Yan Shuai: "Okay, you go back to school, slow down on the road."

"Well, I know Dad."

Yan Shuai nodded and left with Han Xue and Li Rong.

At this moment, Chen Hao, Tao Guoqiang and others came out of the hotel. Han Xue accidentally glanced at the Huaguo Hotel and said curiously: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Yan Shuai asked casually.

Han Xue stared at Chen Hao and looked carefully, but just now, Chen Hao had turned around and walked towards the distance. She glanced at him just now. She only vaguely felt that the person looked like Chen Hao, but it was too far away. She was not sure, "I just saw someone who looked like Chen Hao in your dormitory."

“Where?”

Yan Shuai subconsciously looked at him and saw the backs of several people.

"It's the one among the group of people. Do you think it looks like it?"

Han Xue pointed at Chen Hao's back and said.

Yan Shuai narrowed his eyes, looked carefully for a few seconds, and said, "It seems to be so similar..." At this moment, he saw his father and the provincial agents walking quickly towards a person standing at the entrance of Huaguo Hotel. Then his father and others shook hands with the man respectively, and said something with a smile.

"You mean Chen Hao came out of this Huaqiang Hotel just now?"

Yan Shuai turned his head and asked Han Xue.

Han Xue nodded and said, "I just think it's like it, but it seems that it's not, because that person came out with the person who was chatting with Uncle Yan and the others just now. It should be that I was confused and recognized the wrong person."

"You must have read it wrong."

Yan Shuai smiled and said, "If that person is not wrong, it must be Mr. Tao that my father just mentioned. Look, they are all chatting around Mr. Tao. What is Chen Hao? He is also qualified to come out with Mr. Tao?"

After pausing, he continued, "Let's go."

The three of them went to the side of the road and took a taxi back to school.

“…hey, Mr. Chen.”
