Chapter 18: Blue Mountain Coffee
Tang Wenzhe took the elevator to the 28th floor of the top floor of the building, and Sun Yaqiu was already waiting as soon as the elevator door opened, and said: "Welcome Manager Tang to come, come and I will accompany you to take a turn first. β
Tang Wenzhe accompanied by Sun Yaqiu looked at the leadership of the small restaurant, the decoration is very exquisite, the crystal lamps are hanging, the ceiling is surrounded by rainbow lights flickering, the whole room is full of splendor, there is a small bar by the window, the world's famous wine is readily available, the freshly ground coffee machines are all imported from Germany, Sun Yaqiu specially picked up a sealed bottle full of coffee, and introduced the coffee beans bought are authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, you must invite Tang Wenzhe to enjoy it, she asked the waiter in the bar to grind a cup of Cordon Bleu coffee.
Tang Wenzhe picked up the cup and smelled it first, the taste was not right, and then took a small sip, there was no special romantic fruit aroma and sweet taste of Blue Mountain Coffee, Tang Wenzhe just wanted to say that this was a fake, but the words did turn into praise in his mouth: "Well, it tastes good, a little fruity fragrance, authentic, tasteful." β
Tang Wenzhe took the packaging bag of coffee beans in his hand, and looked at the English introduction on it, and it was written that it was Blue Mountain coffee blended coffee, but in fact, there was no ingredient in Blue Mountain coffee beans at all, and the taste of Blue Mountain coffee was simulated by concoction, and the place of origin was a remote town in southern China.
Tang Wenzhe was embarrassed to give up the coffee he had taken a sip of, so he took the coffee cup in his hand, and as Sun Yaqiu continued to visit, his mind was thinking about the face in the car behind him when he parked just now.
Sun Yaqiu said with a smile: "I heard that Manager Tang is a man with a very good taste for life, and he is very interested in coffee, and he can get Manager Tang's praise that the coffee must be authentic, and I don't know much about coffee, so I thought it was my subordinates talking nonsense, but the office told me that a small bag of Blue Mountain coffee beans costs more than 2,000 yuan, I didn't believe it at first, but now Manager Tang said that it would be worth it." β
Tang Wenzhe said: "Mr. Sun, it is best to drink coffee after meals, adding some fresh milk to coffee can not only make the coffee taste better, but also supplement calcium, promote the body's absorption of calcium, and relieve the irritation of coffee to the stomach." β
"Oh, that's right, I used to drink it on an empty stomach in the morning, and I always felt sick to my stomach, and I tried it according to Manager Tang's method in the future, and I still have a lot of knowledge about drinking coffee." Sun Yaqiu said.
"There is a lot of knowledge in the coffee, and I will have the opportunity to report to Mr. Sun in the future. Tang Wenzhe said as he walked.
Then Tang Wenzhe visited the ping-pong room and the small library, a row of mahogany bookcases in the library were full of all kinds of books, the books were newly bought, and there were a full set of classic MBA textbooks such as the complete works of Capital, the complete works of Marx, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and decision theory.
Tang Wenzhe said: "It seems that Mr. Sun has a very strong learning atmosphere here. β
Sun Yaqiu said: "Hey, don't you want cadres to read more books now, I think this is also a show, we are so busy every day, how can we have time to read, and now that we are getting older, our eyes are not good, and opening a book is like taking sleeping pills." β
"Take sleeping pills, how do you understand?"
"I just want to doze off, haha!" Sun Yaqiu said humorously in a loud voice from the Northeast.
Walking into Sun Yaqiu's office, Tang Wenzhe saw for the first time what luxury is, hanging on a wall with a copy of the French impressionist oil painter Monet's "Pond Water Lilies" more than one person tall occupies the entire wall, a full set of mahogany furniture and sofas, crowded, as if entering the office of a farmer entrepreneur, the luxury faintly reveals the fragrance of earth.
There is also a bedroom in the bedroom that is very spacious, full of white French furniture, and a shower room in the bedroom, the golden sprinkler faucet looks particularly high-profile, but it is a bit like the decoration level of a five-star hotel.
"Mr. Sun, your decoration here has opened my eyes," Tang Wenzhe said.
While speaking, the secretary Lin Jinan walked in gently, poured two glasses of water for the two leaders, and then retreated out of the door, closing the door casually. Tang Wenzhe felt that Lin Jin'an was a little pale, and he looked a little strange when he walked and did things carefully.
"Where, Manager Tang is a person who has seen the world, how can these ordinary decorations impress you, but to be honest, I am still very satisfied with the decoration of their office this time, the money is not much, and the decoration is still a bit graded. Sun Yaqiu said.
"Yes, yes, how much did it cost?" Tang Wenzhe asked by the way.
"23 million yuan, and later the project acceptance audit was cut by the bidding supervision company by 2 million, so a total of 21 million, including decoration and office furniture and soft decoration are all in it. Sun Yaqiu said.
The coffee cup in Tang Wenzhe's hand almost slipped off, and 21 million yuan was spent on the decoration of an office building, Tang Wenzhe felt speechless, spending so much money, and spending the company's money on the decoration of his office is not distressed.
"In fact, these money is also worth it, although our industry is a tertiary company, can not be compared with the main business, but can not be too shabby, face engineering is still needed, the original did not decorate before some cooperative units come to us here are said that we are too simple, after all, all the sales of all our enterprises below a year are less than billions, last year our performance was the best in the past, sales revenue reached 33 billion, in Jianghai City is also a medium-sized enterprise, of course, and Schindler company's main business can not be compared, the main business last year annual operating income is 500 billionγ β
Tang Wenzhe asked: "Then last year, the profit of our industrial company was about 1.5 million yuan." β
"Yes, the profit is mainly affected by market competition, the project has done a lot, but the project material and labor costs have risen, and the profit has not reached the target of 8 million yuan scheduled at the beginning of the year, and has been deducted a lot of performance awards by Schindler Communications, hoping to exceed the target task this year. Sun Yaqiu said.
Tang Wenzhe strongly controlled his emotions, put down the coffee cup in his hand and said: "Mr. Sun, last week the industrial company called a red-headed document, that is, about the adjustment of the division of labor of the leadership team, next Monday will go to the office meeting for the company's leaders to discuss and study, I want to listen to your opinions, specifically what issues need to be further emphasized and explained at the office meeting." β
"Oh, or Manager Tang is thoughtful, some situations are not clear in the reported documents, that's the case; you know that there are a total of 4 people in the leadership team of the industrial company, and the old comrade Lu Shucheng is 58 years old, and he used to be in charge of the union and the office, and he was advised to take a back seat. Vice President Wang Haijie used to be in charge of marketing and the company, and recently we are negotiating with foreign investors in the United States to set up a software development joint venture, and I would like to ask him to be the general manager of this company. Xu Chunrong, vice president was originally in charge of the work of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Youth League Committee and the Party Committee of the organ, and he intended to concurrently serve as the chairman of the company's trade union. Then I would like to promote He Jianjun, deputy general manager of Guanghua Bidding Supervision Company, to serve as the vice president of the industrial company, enrich the strength of the company's leadership team, and be in charge of Guanghua Bidding Supervision, Dongsheng Import and Export Company and United Win Call Center. Sun Yaqiu said
"I have already seen this situation in the documents you reported, I would like to ask about the adjustment of the leadership team of the industrial company, have you communicated with the vice president of Han Rong, who is in charge of the industry?" asked Tang Wenzhe.
Sun Yaqiu said angrily, "He doesn't understand anything, he only knows how to drink his wine, and there are not many opportunities to meet at home, and he says that he is not available when he wants to go to his office to report work." β
"I think the arrangement of other personnel is no problem, Mr. Sun is still very meticulous, but He Jianjun's situation is clear to me, he was originally the project manager of the engineering department of Schindler Company, and later served as the vice president of Guanghua Bidding Supervision Company under the industrial company. Tang Wenzhe reminded.
"We look at the cadres to see the development, we can not guarantee that every cadre will not make mistakes, as long as the mistakes are corrected in time, the enterprise to develop, or to promote capable cadres to key positions. Sun Yaqiu said excitedly.
Tang Wenzhe took a closer look, Sun Yaqiu was a little fat, and his face was yellow, showing some blush. This expression of a woman is only unconsciously revealed when she admires the man she likes.
Tang Wenzhe knows that a vulgar woman like Sun Yaqiu can't control her reason when she is crazy, and she often does things that are illogical if she lacks rational thinking, which is the inevitable result. The emotional entanglement between Sun Yaqiu and He Jianjun has long been rumored within the industrial company, and some people have reported to Tang Wenzhe, Tang Wenzhe is just a joke, He Jianjun is only 44 years old, married late, and the child is still very young.
Sun Yaqiu, 49 years old, and her husband Wang Hanrong have been lacking communication and understanding for a long time, and the physical strength and energy of women at this age are not as good as before, and they are also making the final toss. Tang Wenzhe thought to himself that Sun Yaqiu was going to be hot with He Jianjun, it was simply a cerebral infarction, and now it was a bit crazy to promote He Jianjun unusually.
Tang Wenzhe wanted to persuade her to dispel this idea, because such a promotion of cadres really violates the principle of appointing and dismissing cadres and will cause a very bad impact among the masses, but how can she persuade her, and can she be persuaded to wake up? That is absolutely impossible, and now Sun Yaqiu has already fallen into it, otherwise he would never have come up with such a bad idea, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a dizziness.
Tang Wenzhe thought, I didn't bring here today to mess around with you, I wanted to solve the problem of the trade union of the industrial company seizing the 5 million trade union fees retained by the trade union of the communication cable factory over the years.
Tang Wenzhe said, "Mr. Sun, this way, on the issue of promoting He Jianjun as the vice president of the industrial group, in accordance with the requirements of the company's cadre appointment and selection, you ask the relevant departments to supplement a written explanation, and sort out the performance and cadre evaluation results of He Jianjun in the past three years and the awards won in major engineering projects, and send someone to me before this Friday, and I will truthfully explain it to the company's leaders as a supplementary information for the discussion of the company's party committee next week, do you think it is okay?"
"That's great, I'll ask people to prepare it right away and send it to you as soon as possible, with Manager Tang's care and support, there is hope for this matter." Sun Yaqiu said as she wriggled her fat body.
"Mr. Sun, you are polite, I am not a decision-maker, I can only learn more about the situation of the promoted cadres, provide correct information and basis for the leadership to make decisions, cultivate and promote cadres must be bold and cautious, and prevent promotion with illness and nepotism, are you right?" Tang Wenzhe said.
"Yes, yes, Manager Tang is right, we are also selecting talents for work considerations, and there may be incomplete places or ask the company's personnel department to check and provide support for the company's leadership decision-making. β
"Mr. Sun, I recently heard that the trade union of the industrial company withheld 5 million yuan of trade union retention fees from the trade union of the communication cable factory, set up a small treasury, and invested in real estate transactions, do you know about this? This is a serious violation of the relevant laws and regulations of the state on financial management, and you may have to ask about it, and deal with this problem left over from history as soon as possible before the adjustment of the chairman of the trade union, so as to avoid accidents. Tang Wenzhe said.
"I really want to hear about this, Vice President Lu Shucheng and I talked about it, maybe the problem is not so serious, it may be that the industrial trade union temporarily called the 5 million retained by the trade union of the communication cable factory below, I think they should return it later." If a small treasury is set up and interests are privately divided, it will be of a serious nature. In this way, I will talk to Vice President Lu Shucheng immediately after I go back, and clearly request that this matter be dealt with within 3 days, and not to drag the tail of the remaining problems to the successor after leaving the chairman of the trade union, do you think it is okay?" Sun Yaqiu said.
In the evening, Tang Wenzhe took a detour on the way home to a private car repair shop not far from home, the boss of the shop Liu is a friend of his, this friend had worked in the field of criminal police 103 before retirement, and after retirement, he asked a few friends to open a car decoration repair shop, especially in Jianghai City, especially in the foreign old car modification service in Jianghai City, gathered a group of fans of old vehicles.
Tang Wenzhe parked the car at the door and got out of the car, took a cigarette in his hand, walked to the door of the repair shop and looked inside, Lao Liu was on the phone, saw Tang Wenzhe coming and hung up the phone after a few brief words with the other party on the phone, and said: "Manager Tang, why are you free to come over today, there is a problem with the car?"
"Lao Liu, this cigarette was given by a friend, you know I don't smoke, it's yours. Tang Wenzhe said.
"Hey, old friend, what kind of cigarettes are you going to give, I don't know how many cigarettes I took from you, I'm a little embarrassed. Thank you. Lao Liu took the cigarette and put it on the table, went out and circled around Tang Wenzhe's car and said, "There is no problem with the car, right?"
"That's the case, can you help me see if there is anything wrong with the chassis of this car?" Tang Wenzhe said.
"Chassis, did someone put a time bomb?" said Lao Liu with a smile.
"I went to a company today, just parked the car, and saw a person in the car staring at my car, with a strange look in his eyes, this person I have seen before, one night on my way home this car kept following me, I was worried about what he did to my car. After Tang Wenzhe finished speaking, he gave the car keys to Lao Liu.
Lao Liu took the key, opened the door and entered the car, started the car, listened to the sound of the engine, seemed to be normal, rolled down the window and said to Tang Wenzhe: "I'll drive the car to the garage to see the chassis." β
Lao Liu drove the car into the garage, turned around and got into the car repair trough, also called the ditch, turned on the flashlight and watched carefully.
After 10 minutes, Lao Liu came out of the repair slot, holding a small disc in his hand, and was still looking at it carefully with a flashlight.
"Lao Liu, what is this, it seems to be very exquisite. Tang Wenzhe asked with a puzzled face.
"Hey, Manager Tang, haven't you offended anyone recently? Lao Liu asked.
"No, I can offend anyone as a small clerk, and I'm not a big person. Tang Wenzhe said with a smile.
"This thing is a GPS locator, which is often used by private detectives to track the object's equipment, and it can be easily tracked in real time in the mobile phone navigation by attaching it to the vehicle chassis. This thing is made in the United States, with high accuracy and an error of less than 0.5 meters, and can work continuously for more than 2 years. I know that this model of GPS locator is very expensive. Such a small thing costs more than 20,000 yuan. This kind of product is only used by our criminal investigation department, who will put it in your car. β
"How did I know, they must have misplaced it. Tang Wenzhe said.
"This possibility is very small, I have used this kind of thing, I know its performance very well, I take a picture of its model and code, and then ask a friend of mine to help you check it, you can find out the identity and origin of the buyer, because the state is strictly controlled by this detection tool. You don't underestimate such a thing, according to the model it also has two different paths, one of which not only has a GPS positioning tracking system, but also has a high-capacity long-range detonating bomb, which can detonate this bomb within 1000 meters, and the power is quite large, and no one can survive within 5 meters of the detonation point. I looked, this model does not have an explosive device, only GPS positioning function, what do you think?"
"Okay, you take a picture of this thing, and ask your friend to check the source. Tang Wenzhe said.
"And then...," said Lao Liu.
"Then put it back in its original place, I don't have anything to keep secret, just put it first, maybe it will come in handy sometime..."
