The Qingming Festival has just passed. Although the sky is sunny, the wind is relatively strong and it will feel a little cold when it blows on you.
Walking aimlessly along the market road, I saw flowers blooming on trees and trees, and heard the sound of sirens one after another caused by the busy traffic.
In the familiar yet unfamiliar sales department, you can vaguely see some middle-aged people in their fifties or sixties accompanying their third generation, watching through the glass. It was so real, but my ears seemed to be filled with laughter of love and joy.
I walked into a store, and the first thing that caught my eye was a An ordinary desk, with an old model desktop computer placed on the table, and some cut cloth swatches next to the black keyboard. On the other side of the desk is a wooden sofa, which looks like it was made more than ten years ago. There is an electronic tea set on the coffee table next to the sofa. This may be the most technological thing in the entire office. Beside the coffee table are two rows of cloth racks, with more than a dozen pieces of fabric placed on the cloth racks.
“Xiao Tao, you are here! Xiao Wu went out to order from Di Tafu, please sit down for a while.”
The middle-aged man sitting on the boss’s chair, named Lao Wu, was coaxing his grandson. When he saw me coming, he greeted me warmly and got up to make me a cup of tea. His son Xiao Wu and I are classmates and have known each other since childhood. Lao Wu’s family has been in the textile industry for almost 20 years. After Xiao Wu graduated, he went directly to help in his family’s shop. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost five years.
When I have nothing to do, I like to go to Lao Wu’s sales department, drink tea and chat. They have been in this business for a long time, and occasionally they can hear some so-called “secrets”. Sometimes they are lucky enough to meet a few new customers and expand their business channels. Okay, I won’t lie to myself. The main reason is that when I have no work, I want to find a friend to talk to and relieve my loneliness.
Now that Xiao Wu is out, I started chatting with Lao Wu.
Lao Wu is also very talkative and has started a chatting mode.
The most popular thing recently is of course the Sino-US trade war. After all, US imperialism is determined to conquer China. This topic seems to be something that people of my father’s generation like to talk about. I have been influenced by it since I was a child. Bush was bad, then Obama was bad, and now Trump is bad. In short, the presidents of the United States are all bad people.
However, this time China has become tougher and said, “If you want to fight, then fight. I have tens of millions of U.S. debts in my hands.” Even “Don’t say that.” “It’s not expected” were all said.
Lao Wu said that if the trade war really breaks out, he will immediately replace the iPhone in his hand with Huawei. Although I feel a little sorry for my Honor of Kings account , but also said that if a fight really breaks out, I will change. After all, I am also a patriotic young man, and I cannot be compared with middle-aged people on this kind of issue.
Then I asked Lao Wu, if that were true, would it have any impact on his business? He said that unless a trading company outsources it to him, he basically doesn’t do foreign trade anymore. Now that domestic demand is so good and there are so many regulations on foreign trade, he is too lazy to do it.
Now Lao Wu usually just watches in the sales department, does the bills, takes care of his grandson, and basically leaves all the running work to Xiao Wu. He said that orders basically come from some old customers. Many of the current old customers are already a little older than him, and they have basically taken a back seat. How their companies will develop in the future depends on their next generation.
More than two hours later, Xiao Wu still didn’t come back. I looked at the time and saw that it was already late, so I said goodbye to Lao Wu.
When I went back, I looked up and saw that the setting sun had already turned the sky a little red.
