He put fifteen hundred yuan in his pocket and asked him to wait at the entrance of the alley, then went in alone.【26nbsp;】

After a while, Lao Qi came out.

Li Jinxuan stepped forward and asked, "Is your brother at home?"

Lao Qi said loudly: "At home, we have agreed that he will introduce us next month."

It took more than two months for the news to come. Lao Qi said that his brother had greeted Mr. Hu, the manager of the civil construction branch of a state-owned group company, and asked them to go to his office to find him and sign up for a batch of residential projects.

of tenders.

But when asking someone to do something, you can't speak plainly. Li Jinxuan knew that only by paying money can he do something. This is human nature, so he asked Lao Qi: "How much do you want to give?"

Lao Qi said: "Send 50,000 yuan first."

Li Jinxuan was shocked: "You want to give away so much? How can you afford it?"

Old Qin said nonchalantly: "If I don't give it away, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Li Jinxuan fell into an ideological conflict. When he introduced it to others, he was afraid that he would not get the introduction fee. If he did it himself and had no capital, he would not mess with it like Sun Hongxing did.

What should he do? If he can succeed, he will suddenly have a car and a house like Sun Hongxing, and become a new Shanghainese.

This is the fact. In recent years, high-rise buildings have continued to rise in Shanghai. And every time a building rises, it not only creates a new Shanghainese? It depends on who receives the red hydrangea.

In order to succeed in his career and marry his beloved Lihong, he decided to win at all costs.

But 50,000 yuan was too much, and he really didn't have the ability to raise that much, so he said to Lao Qi: "Let's work together. Can one person have an idea for 20,000 yuan?"

Lao Qi agreed: "Okay, no problem."

So, Li Jinxuan was cruel and sneaked back to his hometown. He persuaded his second brother to borrow 20,000 yuan from the Rural Cooperative Credit Cooperative at a high interest rate and used it to gamble.

Lao Qi also quickly collected 20,000 yuan. He was reluctant to let his children trap the wolf. One Sunday, with a last-ditch attitude, they took 40,000 yuan to trap the wolf.

They backed up three cars in a row before arriving at the high-end residential area in the northeast corner of Shanghai.

When he walked downstairs to Mr. Hu, Lao Qi said hesitantly: "I never go up empty-handed, so I might as well buy something."

Li Jinxuan had introduced the team and had been here four or five times. They then left again and went to the wet market to buy crabs and turtles first, then to the food mall to buy cigarettes and alcohol. They picked and chose and bought gifts worth more than 3,000 yuan.

, and put 30,000 yuan in a large envelope. Both of them shook their hands, pinched off the 3,000 yuan, and hid it in their underwear pockets.

As soon as he walked into Mr. Hu's home, Li Jinxuan was shocked by the luxurious decoration and facilities of his three-bedroom and two-living room.

Lao Qi carried the turtles and crabs into his kitchen in a familiar manner, and put Wuliangye, a Chinese cigarette, into their gift room. He then took out a large envelope containing 30,000 yuan in cash from his bag and quietly

Place it on the coffee table in the living room.

He thought to himself that as long as Mr. Hu, a state functionary, is willing to accept these money and materials, we will have hope.

Mr. Hu's wife politely made tea for them, and Mr. Hu sat down with them to talk. After asking him which company he worked for and a few other questions, he stopped talking.

They felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull and could not find anything more affectionate to say, so they only sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye.

Mr. Hu didn't seem to see the money and gifts they sent. Without saying a polite word, he sent them to the door and said to Lao Qi who was walking behind: "Next Wednesday, come to my office to sign up. You must pretend

Zuo doesn’t know me, do you understand?”

They nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."

After signing up, they were quickly notified to get the bid documents and drawings. Li Jinxuan asked the company he was affiliated with to prepare the bid documents, thinking that he would definitely win the bid this time, and he was full of hope.

As soon as he won the bid, he would announce the good news to Lihong first. So on the day of the bid opening, he was so nervous that he could not breathe even while sitting in the conference room.

There were five bids at the same time, and thirty first-level qualified companies came to participate in the bid opening meeting, and the conference room was full of people.

They were ranked third. After a series of procedures that seemed more rigorous than the college entrance examination were completed, the bids were opened and sung on the spot.

Li Jinxuan's heart was in his throat and he stared at the big blackboard in front of him without blinking. After all the bids of each family were posted on the blackboard, the bid evaluation team went inside to evaluate the bids.

He waited nervously until 12:30 noon before the bid evaluation team came out to announce the results. When the name of the winning bidder for the third bid was announced, Li Jinxuan seemed to hear a thumping sound, and his soap bubbles of hope were shattered.

His eyes were black and he followed the people out of the conference room, exhausted.

When he walked outside, he met an acquaintance from the company that won the bid in his group. Seeing that his face was pale and very ugly, he said softly to him: "Don't even look at it, we have been working there for more than three years."

Can other units win the project? Seeing that we are in your group, you should know the result. Alas, how much money did you waste this time? "

When Li Jinxuan told the truth, the man smiled and said implicitly: "You only spend such a small amount of money, but you still want to win the bid?"

But the usurious loan he borrowed had a term of three months. Therefore, he was like a gambler who lost money, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he wanted to recover the lost capital. His reason was: no reward for no merit, since

If you didn't let us win the bid, you should return the money you collected.

Lao Qi was also a little angry, so he made a tentative call to Mr. Hu's home: "Mr. Hu, uh, why didn't we win the bid this time?"

Mr. Hu said: "I told your brother that I only guarantee that you will be shortlisted, and I can't guarantee anything else. If you have anything to do, talk to your brother. Don't call again in the future."

Lao Qi quickly said: "Then what we sent..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Hu hung up the phone with a bang.

The next day, Lao Qi's brother called them angrily and said, "Can you please stop messing around? You can't do this as a human being. How can you get the money you gave away? If you do this, it will make my face worse."

Where to put it? Huh?"

Finally, his tone softened a little: "You don't want to ask for it anymore, and you can't talk nonsense to others, you know? You have to take a longer view and take a long-term approach to catch big fish. Let's talk about it when we have the opportunity in the future, ah."

Isn’t this a mute eating yellow lotus?

More than three months later, the second tender began again.

Lao Qi called him and said: "The opportunity has come again, but we have to give some gifts before we can have hope. What do you think we should do?"

Li Jinxuan said: "Then this time, don't give away the money."

Lao Qi said: "Yes, don't give away food. My brother said that there is so much food in Mr. Hu's house that it stinks, rots, and is thrown away. This time, let's buy him some gold goods."

So each of them pooled together another three thousand yuan and bought a gold necklace and a gold ring as gifts.

When I bought it, I found it difficult for these two grown men, namely, the rough one, the fine one, the literary one, and the martial one.

Growing up, they have never bought these things. They really don’t know how to buy them? They are afraid that if they buy fakes, it will be a big joke.

They were walking around in a gold shop, sometimes looking down, muttering, and gesticulating about gold and silver jewelry; sometimes they suddenly walked away shyly, not daring to talk to the salesperson, for fear of getting into trouble if they did.

What they did was so much fun.

In the end, their strange behavior aroused the vigilance of several salesmen, thinking that the thieves were planning a robbery.

"Do you want to buy something?" Suddenly, two security guards appeared in front of them and asked sternly.

Li Jinxuan quickly said: "We want to buy it, but we don't know how to buy it."

Only then did two female salespersons ask: "What do you want to buy?"

Li Jinxuan said: "A gold necklace and a gold ring, no more than six thousand yuan, given as a gift."

They enthusiastically served as their advisors, and when they saw that they were ready, they bought it.

But this time when I went to deliver it, there was a small change. A smart security door was installed downstairs at Mr. Hu's house. They didn't know how to get in.

Lao Qi used his mobile phone to call Mr. Hu's home number: "Mr. Hu, this is Lao Qi. I want to come and see you."

Mr. Hu said: "Don't come here again, okay?"

Lao Qi was anxious and stuttered like a bird.

Mr. Hu said: "If you want to come, you can only come up alone."

Lao Qi left him downstairs and went up alone with the gold jewelry.

As a result, he still didn't win the bid. Li Jinxuan was angry and anxious and stamped his feet.

But Lao Qi had a gloomy face and said calmly: "We still gave too little."

Li Jinxuan lost the bet again. He fell deeper and deeper into the trap, almost going crazy with anxiety. He kept wandering around the rented house, sighing. He lamented that he had no relatives who were officials, was always unsuccessful, and never met his sweetheart.

But after a while, he shouted unconvinced: "No, I still have to work hard, I can't live without Lihong!"

In order to recover this loss and repay the loan shark as soon as possible, and in order to get his beloved Lihong, he learned the hard way and began to work like a diligent mouse in this circle, drilling holes in the wall to find a new target.

Thinking of this incident, Li Jinxuan felt a twinge in his heart. So he said to Lao Zhang: "A few years ago, I met the CEO of a small company under a state-owned group company, surnamed Hu. He accepted our money and goods.

But they don’t give us projects to do, and when we ask for them, they say we don’t have a way to go. Why do you think this is still true in society?”

"Really?" When Lao Zhang heard this, he got excited again, "Why didn't you tell him earlier? You should ask him first. Such a person is most afraid of others quarreling with him, afraid of having a bad influence, and afraid of losing his reputation.

I'm afraid of being sentenced to jail, so why don't I pay you back quickly?"

Li Jinxuan said: "Don't think so simply."

Lao Zhang said: "You will take care of this person. If you can't get the money, I will bear all the expenses."

Li Jinxuan said half jokingly and half seriously: "Is this true?"

Lao Zhang said: "Seriously." Li Jinxuan said: "Then you pay for the travel expenses this time. I have no money in my hand. You also know that after working for so many days, I haven't received living expenses yet."

Lao Zhang said: "No problem."
