Standing in front of Feng Xiaochen, it was Ning Mo and Zhao Yang, the sons of the Cold Water Mine in Linhe Province. Three years ago, Feng Xiaochen went to the Cold Water Mine to coordinate the industrial experiment of the dump truck. He made friends with Ning Mo waiting for young people waiting for the industry by playing table tennis and other methods. He successfully used the unemployed youth to put pressure on the mine manager Pan Caishan, making him accept the arrangements for industrial experiments. Later, because he went to the Cold Water Mine to help solve the power supply indicator problem, Feng Xiaochen and Ning Mo met again, and went to the Power Plant Town together, which was considered to have a fighting friendship.

In the more than two years since then, Feng Xiaochen never heard from Ning Mo again. In fact, both of them may have thought of writing a letter to greet each other, but somehow dragged it over. This time, I suddenly met Ning Mo on the streets of Pengcheng, and Feng Xiaochen felt very surprised, and I wonder why Ning Mo came here.

Friendship between men has always been less important to form. After friends are separated, they may not contact each other for a long time, but once they meet, they can get close to each other as before. This is exactly the case with Feng Xiaochen and Ning Mo. When they meet, after a brief moment of surprise, both sides remember the interesting things from the past, and then they become familiar with each other.

"Brother, are you still in that metallurgical bureau? Have you been promoted to director?"

Ning Mo patted Feng Xiaochen's shoulder with his thick bear paw and asked with a smile. He felt that only in this way could he show his happiness.

Feng Xiaochen shook his head and smiled, "What are you thinking? How could I be the director? The Metallurgical Bureau has been abolished. I went to the newly established Reinstallation Office and became the deputy director there. However, I had already resigned last month. The unit arranged for me to study for graduate school at the Academy of Social Sciences, which is estimated to be three years."

"Look, our buddy is just capable. Graduate students, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Feng Xiaochen was too lazy to care about this logical problem with Ning Mo, and it was always futile to reason with the fat man. He pulled Yang Haifan and introduced him and Ning Mo. Ning Mo and Zhao Yang heard that Yang Haifan was the general manager of a Sino-German joint venture, so they couldn't help but look in awe. He spoke to Mr. Yang at once, which made Yang Haifan feel a little embarrassed.

"By the way, fat man, you haven't told me how you came to Pengcheng yet. You didn't resign from the stone factory and went into business, right?" After greeting each other, Feng Xiaochen asked about Ning Mo and the others' current situation.

Zhao Yang rushed to answer: "No, Fatty and I are just two unemployed young people. How could we quit? However, Xiao Feng said that we went into the business, so we can be considered going into the business. Isn't it just a fashionable thing to go into the business now?"

"I didn't resign and went to the sea again. What do you say?" Feng Xiaochen asked strangely.

Ning Mo said: "That's the case. Xiao Zhao recently had a partner and was about to do business. Now he's getting married, but he doesn't have a single 8,000 yuan. Are you embarrassed to be intimate with a girl? Xiao Zhao's partner doesn't like the salary of the stone factory, so I discussed with Xiao Zhao and went into business together. People move to die, trees move to live. Did you say this to us back then?"

"Uh,... I don't remember." Feng Xiaochen didn't remember what he said to these unemployed young people back then. In order to fool these young people into being cannon fodder, he did give them a lot of spiritual chicken soup. Unexpectedly, Ning Mo could still remember it. However, he still didn't understand what the other party meant, so he continued to ask: "You said you went into the sea, but Zhao Yang said you didn't resign. What does it mean?"

Zhao Yang said shyly: "Actually, we signed an agreement with the stone factory to help the factory sell some scraps and get commissions based on sales revenue. This was the idea that the fat man came up with. He also said that there are many construction projects in Pengcheng, so we came to Pengcheng."

So it turns out to be like this:

The stone factories of cold water mines have been doing export stones. Although other places in China have also focused on this business in recent years, many competitors have emerged. However, because the stone quality of cold water mines is better and has first-mover advantage, the business has always been very good, and the production scale has more than doubled compared to three years ago, and has become a pillar industry in the local area.

The quality requirements for exporting stones are relatively high, so the defective products that appear in stone processing are naturally unable to be exported and can only be discarded as waste. In addition, the scraps during the processing process accumulate over time, and a new stone mountain appears next to the original pile of waste stones.

Perhaps because of his time with Feng Xiaochen, Ning Mo was somewhat aware of business. He thought that foreign countries have high requirements for stones, and domestic construction companies may not have such high requirements. If these residual stones that are not qualified for export are sold to domestic companies, can they also turn into money?

After this idea came up, Ning Mo was a little unstoppable. He found the leader in charge of the stone factory and proposed to establish a domestic sales department, which he contracted and was responsible for selling the residual stones to the domestic construction department. The money earned was divided by the stone factory and him in a ratio of 82. These residual stones were originally scrap and were worthless. As long as they could be sold, they would be profits out of thin air. The leader naturally would not object to this plan. So Ning Mo transformed into the head of the domestic sales department of the stone factory and began to engage in semi-public and semi-private business activities.

Zhao Yang has always been Ning Mo's best friend. At this time, he was facing heavy economic pressure because he was going to get married. Under Ning Mo's deception, he resolutely gave up the unreliable job of polishing stones and became Ning Mo's assistant.

According to the contract contract signed by Ning Mo and the stone factory, Ning Mo and Zhao Yang still retained their identity as the stone factory, but they could not receive the salary of the stone factory. Their income comes from the share of the stone sales. If they sell more, they will earn more, and there will be no cap on the top. But if the stone cannot be sold, they will have to go hungry. Zhao Yang said that they did not resign, but went into the market, which is what it means.

"It's not bad, it's courageous, like my friend." Feng Xiaochen patted Ning Mo's shoulder and gave him a praise and self-praise.

Ning Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with Feng Xiaochen's words. On the contrary, he felt that it was a glorious thing for his behavior to be recognized by Feng Xiaochen. Feng Xiaochen first fought with Pan Caishan, the head of the Lengshui Mine, and later defeated the engineer of the Japanese Jiulin Company at Pinghe Power Plant. Ning Mo saw these deeds. In his mind, Feng Xiaochen was a great man who needed him to look up to. It was quite respectful to be praised by the great man.

"How is your business doing? It's not that there is no stone sold, right?" Feng Xiaochen asked. He originally wanted to ask the other party if he had made a fortune, but seeing the two of them dressed, it didn't look like they had made a lot of money, so he changed his question.

"How can I do it? Don't look at who I am a fat man!" Ning Mo boasted, "Xiao Zhao and I went to Yichuan and sold more than 300 square meters, making more than 6,000 yuan. The factory got 80% of the money, and Xiao Zhao and I each got 10% of the money, which is more than 600 yuan, which is equivalent to the salary we had for grinding stones in the stone factory for half a year. I told Xiao Zhao, what is Yichuan? Let's go to Pengcheng and sell 100,000 yuan, and each person will get 100,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is enough. So, we are here."

Zhao Yang was smiling but didn't say anything. Feng Xiaochen didn't know, but Zhao Yang knew that the more than 300 square meters of stone in Yichuan City was actually sold by Ning Mo's father who found connections in the city. Strictly speaking, it was not Ning Mo's ability. However, because of the victory of the first battle and the first dividend payment, they both became enthusiastic and ran to Pengcheng with a bunch of stone samples on their backs.

There are indeed many construction sites in Pengcheng, and there is a large demand for decorative stones, but the key is that they are not without suppliers. They are young, have no connections and no shopping mall experience, so it is not easy to sell stones. The two of them have lived in Pengcheng for more than ten days, and they have not sold any stones until now. Ning Mo bragging in front of Feng Xiaochen made Zhao Yang feel a little embarrassed.

"You have a good vision, Pengcheng is a very good market. Many of the investors here are Hong Kong merchants. They have a great demand for high-quality decorative materials, and the market is definitely much larger than your Yichuan. One hundred thousand or eighty thousand is not a big goal. If you do well, it is possible to sell several million a year." Feng Xiaochen analyzed in Ningmo.

Ning Mo became even more proud. He poked Zhao Yang with his elbow and said, "Xiao Zhao, have you heard that? Our brother Feng said the same thing. If you don't believe me, you have to believe him, right?"

Zhao Yang smiled bitterly and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, your analysis may be correct, but the problem is that it has been half a month since Fatty and I have been to Pengcheng, and it has not opened yet. The little money we earned from selling stones in Yichuan has been paid in to travel and accommodation fees. If we can't sell a stone, we can only walk back to Linhe by begging for food."

"What did you say!" Ning Mo couldn't hold his face anymore, "Didn't Mr. Lin from Xinqicheng Company say he was interested in our stone? Let's talk to him a few more times and it's probably going to be done."
