Chapter 332: Sharing Session
The phrase that there is no size at the wine table does not apply within the Southern Group, where Kim Changxing will always be the greatest.
But the problem is that it is not in the Southern Group now, and these people at the wine table did not know each other before, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, so the saying that there is no size at the wine table is applicable here.
These people don't care whether you are the chairman of a group or not, their salaries are not paid by you, and the people are not under your control, they only know that I will toast you, and you will have to drink as much as I drink.
Jin Changxing, who often mixes at the wine table, of course knows the rules of these wine tables very well, he knows that it will not work at this time, and it will not work well, if it arouses the disgust of these people, and they are carried away by alcohol What do they say on the spot, or do something out of line, then it will be themselves who will be embarrassed and embarrassed, and they will not care.
So, although Jin Changxing was reluctant in his heart, he still had to get by on face. He smiled a little, and pretended to be very generous and said to the big man: "I really can't drink it, why don't I drink half of it, and you can drink half of it too?"
The big man thought that he had said everything to that point just now, how could Jin Changxing drink this glass of wine for the sake of his own big boss's face, but what he didn't expect was that Jin Changxing really admitted it.
The big man saw that although Jin Changxing was smiling, he still couldn't hide the perfunctory meaning in his smile. He could see that Jin Changxing couldn't drink, otherwise he wouldn't have gone around with a wine glass to toast just now. The reason why he didn't want to drink it was because he underestimated himself!
The big man saw through this, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but as the saying goes, he didn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, Jin Changxing was full of smiles, and he couldn't force Jin Changxing, so he said helplessly: "Okay, half is half!"
After speaking, he leaned over the wine glass in his hand and touched Jin Changxing's cup, then took it up and took a sip, and then sat down stupidly.
There are many kinds of people who drink alcohol, some people like to pour themselves drinks, enjoy the artistic conception and mood of drinking alone, others drink or not, drink more or less has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care about those.
But there are people who drink as if they were not drinking for themselves, but for others. This kind of person drinks to pay attention to lively, must be shouted to drink to feel, and he drinks as much as he asks others to drink, if others do not drink as much as he drinks, he is not happy, he feels that his wine is in vain, and even thinks that others look down on him.
The big man in front of him is the kind of person in the back. He was drinking to the point of happiness, holding a wine glass and waiting for Jin Changxing to drink, but Jin Changxing discounted his request by half, which disappointed his full hopes, so that he not only did not drink the half glass of wine, but drank some unpleasant mood.
He thinks that Kim Chang-heung is not giving him face by doing this, and he is embarrassed in public. If it weren't for what he said, he might go to the Southern Group to buy the products of the Southern Group in the future, and he might still have dealings with Jin Changxing, but now he is deadlocked, and it will be difficult to meet in the future. Otherwise, he will definitely not let go of Jin Changxing's behavior, not to mention any other actions, at least the words will embarrass Jin Changxing.
He had never seen such a person who didn't understand the rules, and he was still a chairman? He really wanted to count Jin Changxing a few words with the strength of wine. He really couldn't figure it out, how could such a person with such status sneak and play tricks at the wine table?
After he put down his glass, he turned his face to talk to the other person, and ignored Jin Changxing anymore.
Of course, Jin Changxing could see that this big man's face was wrong, but he didn't think so at all, he thought to himself: I'm not unhappy, you pulled down your face first, who do you think you are?
But this is also good, as soon as the people next to him saw that Jin Changxing didn't understand the rules on the wine table, no one toasted him anymore, so Jin Changxing also fell quiet, and while others were drinking, he ate a lot of dishes next to him.
The few cakes and two bananas he ate at 10:00 a.m. were long gone, his stomach was empty, and after the task of finding out the news was completed, the most important thing for him at the moment was to replenish his energy.
But after a while, Jin Changxing couldn't sit still anymore, and the people who were eating at the same table were all sideways, huddled together and shouted for five or six to drink, and he was the only one who was eating alone, and the people closest to him on the left and right sides were also more than a meter away. It was obvious that he was excluded from this lively scene, and there was a sense of dissonance in this scene.
The movement of these people next to him was quite big, and they were both fist-drawing and persuading drinking, which attracted the attention of the people at the next table.
Jin Changxing secretly regretted: This time, because he was in too much of a hurry, he didn't expect to bring a few entourages out. If there is an entourage, let them deal with the gang in front of them, not only will they save trouble, but they will definitely not be left out by others to this step.
He now felt deeply the feeling of being ignored by others in an unfamiliar environment.
Even Jin Changxing himself can feel that he is being left out, and in the kind of probing eyes cast by others, he must be able to see that he is isolated, and maybe in those eyes, there is an element of pity for him.
Jin Changxing didn't want to be the focus of this kind of attention, so he quickly took a few bites of food, got up and left the table, and also left the environment that made him feel embarrassed.
Going upstairs to the luxurious suite that had been booked, Kim Chang-heung, who was very disappointed with the meeting, didn't have the heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, if he hadn't just arrived in the city this morning, he really didn't want to continue to participate in the rest of the meeting.
But now I bought a plane ticket and flew back, not only did I think it was a little funny, but after I went back, I would let the people in the company know about it, and I would say that why would Chairman Jin go out to participate in such an important summit forum would be so child's play?
After standing at the window for a while, not thinking about what to do next, and having eaten too much, he closed the curtains and fell asleep on the bed with his head covered.
Most people with insomnia have a characteristic, that is, they can't sleep at night and can't wake up during the day. Jin Changxing slept in a daze until nearly 3:00 in the afternoon.
When he woke up, he looked at his watch and vaguely remembered that at this time, the afternoon sharing session should have begun.
The most important report of this meeting was placed this morning, but even such an important report made Jin Changxing quite disappointed after listening to it, and now this guest sharing meeting in the industry will not arouse his interest.
But being idle is also idle, he was bored and thought about it, and it was boring to stay in the hotel room, so he lay on the bed for a while, and then got up and went downstairs to the conference hall to listen to the sharing meeting of the guests.
The podium in the center of the stage in the morning has been removed and replaced by a semicircle of sofas.
From the perspective of the audience, the host is sitting on the left-hand side, and the other three guests are sitting on the right, assuming the posture of the host interviewing the guests that is common on TV.
It is estimated that many of the people who came to the meeting were in the same mood as Kim Changxing, and the focus was on this morning's report meeting, which was only about two-thirds of the number of people in the morning compared to the full venue in the morning.
After Jin Changxing entered the venue, he found a place to sit down and quietly listened to the conversation of several people on the stage. He missed the beginning, he didn't know what the identities of the guests on the stage were, he didn't know what the topics they were discussing, and he didn't understand the topic of this interview after listening to it for a long time, anyway, there was nothing in those words that attracted him at all.
Just when he regretted that it was a waste of time to come to the venue, and it was better to go to the scenery of the city to go around, suddenly, he heard the host on the stage say to one of the guests: "Mr. Wang, as the executive vice president of Western Copper, what do you think of the current prospects of the copper metal industry?"
Jin Changxing's spirit was lifted after hearing this question, he quickly sat up straight, stretched his neck and looked carefully on the stage, he wanted to see who the executive vice president of Western Copper was.
As a senior industry insider, Jin Changxing also has some understanding of the organizational structure of Western Copper, and the company's top leader, like the Southern Group, is also the chairman and general manager. In this case, the identity of the executive vice president surnamed Wang is completely different from that of an ordinary deputy general manager.
When the chairman and general manager of the board of directors and general manager have no time to take care of certain things, such an executive vice president has great power, which is almost equivalent to being the general manager.
It stands to reason that such a post should also be established within the Southern Group, and the advantage of having such a post is that it can share a lot of the burden for the top leader.
I don't know what the reason is, there has been no such setting as the executive vice president of the Southern Group. Liu Zhongzhou, Jin Changxing and others either felt that they were super capable, or they felt that setting up such a position was extremely unfavorable to them.
Therefore, the only official deputy general manager in the Southern Group is Xue Chenzhi, who holds the power of the smelter, and although Liu Zhongzhou, who has been removed, is also the deputy general manager, this position is completely a fictitious position, without any real power, which is countless. Xue Chenzhi was dragged down by the affairs of the smelter, and had no time to take care of the other businesses of the group, and the power of the entire group has always been firmly in the hands of the chairman and general manager such as Liu Zhongzhou and Jin Changxing.
The reputation of Western Copper in the industry, coupled with the special identity of Mr. Wang in Western Copper, made Jin Changxing attach great importance to this person's opinion. Even from a certain point of view, he thinks that Mr. Wang's opinion may be more appropriate and important than the opinion of the two experts in the morning.
