Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 577

In the afternoon, the negotiation with Joseph’s team was held as scheduled. Joseph didn’t treat us a lot because of the meal. He was still as rigorous as ever. Every clause was carefully pinched, and he didn’t mean to make any concessions. The negotiation fell into a trap again. deadlock.

However, the mood eased when we heard that we agreed to improve the packaging without adding Chinese characters, and at the same time agreed to add their labels on our packaging.

The specific details began to be discussed in a targeted manner, and some new breakthroughs were made. My smoking addiction was broken, and the specific details did not really need me, so I went out to smoke.

Joseph also came over, asked me for a cigarette, and asked me, "You smoke, too? Didn't I see you smoking?"

I smiled and said, "Isn't this afraid of destroying the friendship between China and the United States? Our President Dong has ordered us not to smoke."

Joseph smiled and said, "As long as it's not in a public place or in a confined space, smoking is still allowed. Your cigarette is not easy to smoke. I'll give you mine to try later."

I refused: "Forget it, is it a cigar? I'm not used to it!"

At this time, An An came over and said to me in a low voice: "A few people from the Economics Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau have come to see you!"

I froze for a moment, then greeted Joseph, and went to the living room with An An.

Several public security officers first shook my hand warmly, and then said politely: "President Chen, excuse me, we are from the Municipal Economic Crime Criminal Investigation Division, and I want to know something about you."

I hurriedly asked An An to make tea, greeted a few people to sit down, and said politely: "You ask, I know what to say, and I will fully cooperate with your work investigation."

One of the police officers said, "Do you know a man named Zhang Wei?"

I nodded and said: "Yes, I used to be the boss of Huitong's moisture-proof box. Later, his company closed down and came to work in our company. I also asked him to manage the sales of our small home appliance moisture-proof box. I still look for him!"

The police officer asked, "What are you looking for him for?"

I said angrily: "Look for him to settle the score. There is a problem with the quality of a batch of moisture-proof boxes for our small household appliances. I suspect that it is his fault. I remember that the evidence was handed over to your comrades in the police department, and we also reported the case. Because the amount of damage involved is huge, we want to pursue his criminal responsibility."

Cleanliness asked again: "So, you hate him a lot?"

I replied without thinking: "Hate, it must be hate. If I find him, I can't wait to..."

Then he stopped immediately, realized something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Nothing will happen to him, right? Let me make a statement first, I just talk about it, I still trust our government's law enforcement department, I am sure I won’t do stupid things or use lynching. I’m a law-abiding citizen. Otherwise, if he was killed one day, I can have an alibi. I’m with other people every day, and I’m rarely alone. alone!"

Several police officers smiled and said: "Why are you so nervous? Who said he was killed? You watched too many criminal investigation TV dramas! Zhang Wei is in a small county town in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. We captured his hometown and arrested him. His reason was that he was illegally selling underground lottery tickets. After we caught him, we found out that he was also related to the quality accidents of your Wanzhong through comparison of characters, but he only admitted that he had tampered with the moisture-proof box, and denied everything else ... We felt he had other crimes that could be dug deeper.

We are here this time to first inform you of the situation, second to learn about the situation from you, and third to hope that you will cooperate with us to enlighten Zhang Wei. We feel that there are still people behind him putting pressure on him, and there are many other situations , he did not explain. "

I hurriedly said: "I will definitely cooperate with all my strength, but Zhang Wei and I are superiors and subordinates. We don't have much contact with each other. Will he listen to my advice? I don't want to frame other people, but I don't think it is necessary for him to do so. There is no benefit for him to do so, unless someone gives him money, he will do it."

A police officer nodded and said, "Your analysis is right. We are now planning to join hands with comrades from the Ministry of Finance to handle the case. We found a large amount of remittance from his account. The name of the person who remitted the remittance was Zhang Dan. , I don’t know if you know this person?”

I collected my memory, shook my head and said, "I don't know!"

The policeman continued: "What about Huake Trading Company? Do you have any impression?"

I still shook my head and said, "I don't know. Such a company only costs 2000 yuan and can be registered at any time. It depends on who the person is? Maybe I can recognize them, otherwise these names may be fake!"

The police officer smiled and said, "We also know this. The legal person of the company is Shen Yang. You are familiar with this name, right?"

I smiled and said: "I'm not unfamiliar, but I'm familiar with it, so it's very clear. Shen Yang sent money to Zhang Wei and instructed Zhang Wei to tamper with our moisture-proof box, which caused our moisture-proof box to explode, causing our moisture-proof box to explode. Huge loss for the company, you should arrest Shen Yang!"

The police officer shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you said. This remittance can be used in many ways. Shen Yang can also refuse to admit it, or find a scapegoat. It is difficult to link it with your quality accident. The key to the problem Yes, let Zhang Wei speak."

I hummed and said, "Then instill Zhang Wei with the country's policies, be lenient when confessing, and be strict when resisting, just tell him to speak up!"

The police officer smiled and said, "Is that so simple? He only wants to see you before he will tell."

I wondered: "See me? What's the use of seeing me? How can I give him an amnesty? Even if I am willing, the national law enforcement agencies won't sell me such favors, right?"

The officer smiled and replied: "We don't know why, he just said he wanted to see you!"

I sighed and said: "That's fine, I will do ideological work for him, but it won't work these days, a group of foreign guests came, and we were still in a meeting just now, it's really more important, can you wait for the guests Let's go, shall I go again?"

The police officer hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, we just hope that you cooperate with the investigation, but if you are not busy, just take an hour off work, and it won't be long!"

I thought for a while and agreed: "If there is no arrangement for the evening, I will go there. Do you think this is okay?"

Several police officers thanked me, and I sent them to the gate.

Several policemen said embarrassedly: "I know you are busy, so you don't need to send it, we can go out by ourselves!"

I hurriedly said: "I have to send you out, and I have to be very enthusiastic and enthusiastic to send you out, otherwise the people in the company will definitely misunderstand me and commit another crime. You also know that people's words are scary these days!"

The police officer smiled and said, "Why do you commit crimes again? Do you often commit crimes?"

I waved my hands and said, "No, no, I've never committed a crime, that's what I said!"

Then he shouted loudly in the corridor: "Walk slowly, everyone, come here often if you have something to do!"

After finishing speaking, he said to An An beside him: "Several old friends, come to see me!"

An An covered her mouth and smiled: "Mr. Chen, there is no one here. I informed you. What are they doing here!?"

I blushed, said oh, and walked away.

The meeting in the afternoon, generally speaking, was successful. Both sides made concessions. Joseph was quite satisfied with the process. After the meeting, he asked me: "What's delicious tonight? Treat us ?”

I looked at Joseph, who smoked me a cigarette and wanted to be friends with me, and said, "What do you want to eat? Based on your knowledge of Chinese food, what do you want to eat most? Or in other words, what is your No, can't eat?"

Joseph thought for a long time and said, "Dumplings! Hot pot!"

I smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I will arrange it tonight. You go back to the hotel and have a rest. I will ask the driver to pick you up later."

Joseph nodded in satisfaction and thanked, "Thank you so much, Chen, can I call you that?"

I shook my head and said, "You foreigners like to call me fly, chen is my last name, and fly is my first name. If you want to show that we have a good relationship, you can call me fly directly."

Joseph smiled and said, "Okay, Mr.fly."

I shook my head helplessly, thinking that the names are the same, as long as I can remember them.

While they were going back to the hotel to rest, I went to the Municipal Bureau and met the policeman who was looking for me before. The policeman first greeted me warmly, and then said to me: "We will go through the interrogation procedures right away, just wait for us, it will be over soon !"

When I saw Zhang Wei, he was not in the interrogation room, and he was not a vicious person. His case was actually not a major case. It was just in the ordinary living room, but there was a table between us, and a group of people stood behind him. Police officer.

I opened my mouth first and said, "Mr. Zhang, why do you have to look for me?"

Zhang Wei looked at the policeman behind him, the policeman was unmoved, as if he hadn't seen him, just stood there straight, motionless.

I said helplessly: "This is the rule, you can't meet anyone alone now. Just say what you want."

Zhang Wei sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, you have to save me!"

I shook my head and said, "How can I save you? If you committed a crime, you should get the punishment you deserve. I advise you, be honest and be lenient. If you know what to say, try to have a good attitude, maybe you can get a lighter sentence." point."

Zhang Wei said painfully: "I can't go to jail. I still have an old man and a young child. I have a whole family waiting for me! Please help me!"

I pursed my lips and said: "If I knew today, why did I do it in the first place? I didn't force you to do it. You said that you did it. You would die hundreds of times with me. I will give it to you." Opportunity, let you turn around, how about you? Not only betrayed me, but also played tricks on me, do you know how much loss you caused me? You ruined the reputation of all people, I mistrusted you, and I have become a sinner forever! "

Zhang Wei sighed: "I didn't want to either. I was also obsessed with ghosts at the time. I always felt that I didn't have the ability to fulfill the promise I made to you. I thought that if I failed, I would have no chance to stand up. If you follow them If it can be done, I will definitely be able to stand up, and at worst I can get a sum of money!"

I snorted and said, "What now? What did you get? You got that little money, and now you have to spit it out, what about our company's losses? Don't you have to pay for it! Do you think you can escape? Better cooperate with the public security organs and tell what you know, it will be good for you!"

Zhang Wei widened his eyes and said: "If I told them all, can you not hold me accountable? I know you are rich, and I didn't cause you much loss. You all Has it been made up for? As long as you don't hold me accountable, I don't have to go to jail, and if I don't go to jail, I promise you everything!"

I looked at Zhang Wei and sneered, "It has nothing to do with me whether you say it or not. I came here at your request to cooperate with the public security organ. I came here to help you. You even made conditions with me. Why? The economic loss is not my own, but the company's. If the company says it won't pursue you, I definitely have no objection."

Zhang Wei heard something was going on, and hurriedly said: "It's not up to you to decide the company. As long as you don't pursue it, no one will. Just help me!"

I shook my head and said, "I can't help you, I didn't start the company, and I have to explain to the board of directors, someone must bear such a large loss, and you have to be brave enough to bear what you do yourself. As for whether you say it or not, it is your own business. If you say it, you may be sentenced to less, not to mention a few more years, you can decide for yourself, anyway, it is not a crime of losing your head."

Zhang Wei broke his heart and said: "Then I won't say anything! The left is also in jail, and the right is also in jail!"

I snorted and said, "Then you don't want to talk about it, but you must spit out every penny of the money. I guess you have to use the house in your hometown to pay back the money!"

Zhang Wei said desperately: "If the house is taken out, where will my family live? That's impossible!"

I sighed and said: "Before you commit a crime, don't you read the legal books? You and your immediate family members have to spit out all the property in the name of you. I marked you down, but you don't listen, so I can't do anything about it. I still have something to do, don't you have anything to say? If not, I will leave, and if you ask me to come back, I will not come back!"

Zhang Wei closed his eyes, I thought he wanted me to leave, so I stood up.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and said loudly, "You help me keep the house in my hometown, and I promise you everything else!"

I thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best, and that's all I can guarantee. I promise you, I will keep your family from being implicated as much as possible."

Zhang Wei hummed and said, "Okay, what you say is what you say, I'll tell you what I know!"

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "Don't tell me, it's not what I want to know, you have to tell comrade police!"
