Chapter VI Meetings
Past experience tells Tang Jianhua that this meeting is very important, and the outcome of the meeting will play a decisive role in whether Wu Bin will support his proposal.
He was accustomed to going home at noon to take a nap, but today at noon he was alone in the office again, and his mind flashed with all kinds of materials and arguments that would be used in the meeting.
The protagonist of the meeting is undoubtedly Wu Bin, but if everyone else is against it, Wu Bin will not support it. Therefore, in addition to Wu Bin, you have to move other people.
After going to work in the afternoon, Li Xin saw Xia Xiaona constantly going in and out of the office, he was very curious, so he asked, "I see what is the matter with you who are so busy?"
Xia Xiaona said: "What else can you be busy with, there is a meeting in the small conference room, Director Luan asked me to bring tea and pour water or something, why don't you go?"
When Li Xin heard this, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hehe, it's better for you to go, it's not appropriate for me to go." ”
Xia Xiaona smiled: "You are really righteous enough, just let it go when you see difficulties!"
Li Xin asked: "What kind of meeting is being held, and what are you discussing?"
Xia Xiaona said: "I don't know, it seems to be a matter of buying sugar." ”
Li Xin listened and said thoughtfully, "Oh. ”
At the same time as the two of them were talking, the main door of the small meeting of the head office was closed, and the room was filled with smoke, and Wu Bin, the general manager of the head office, Yao Li, the manager of the finance department, Luan, the director of the administrative office, and the six managers of the three branches sat at the table, and it seemed that the meeting had lasted for a long time.
Wu Bin, who didn't smoke, frowned, and fanned the smoke in front of him with his hand helplessly, and said to Director Luan: "Open the window a little to breathe." ”
Tang Jianhua sat next to Wu Bin, spraying smoke and encouraging Wu Bin and said, "Mr. Wu, this opportunity is rare and worth doing!"
Wu Bin hesitated and said, "The opportunity is very good, but is it too risky to be so aggressive?"
After hearing this, Tang Jianhua looked at Yao Li across the conference table, his eyes full of encouragement and expectation.
Yao Li glanced at Tang Jianhua, she didn't understand what Tang Jianhua meant.
She put her hand on the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and said, "Mr. Wu, I still support Manager Tang's opinion, it's a pity to miss this opportunity." As for the problem that the loan amount is too large, Manager Tang also said that he can negotiate with the bank in the form of collateral for goods. ”
When Tang Jianhua heard this, he interjected: "What Manager Yao said is yes, the sucrose in our hands is a sought-after commodity, and the bank knows it very well. Their current business forms are also diverse, and if they analyze the situation of the new crushing season, all the people in the bank are fine, and they can understand it at all, and the bank will not fail to do this kind of icing on the cake. ”
At this time, Wu Bin was a little moved by what they said, judging from the news he got, this is indeed a rare opportunity. From the first time Tang Jianhua told him about this, his heart was not at peace.
Wu Bin has been immersed in the sugar industry for decades, and it is not easy to be promoted to the current position of general manager step by step. Thinking that I am just in my early fifties, it is still early to retire, and such a good opportunity in front of me may be able to make me go to the next level in the light industry hall.
Gradually, his heart became inclined. But after all, this was a big move that had never been done before, and he finally wanted to listen to other people's opinions to enrich his confidence.
So, he glanced at the other three with his eyes, hoping that they would also make a statement, share their opinions, and add some leverage to the decision they were about to make.
Director Luan of the Administrative Office saw Wu Bin's glance, his eyes turned twice, and he lowered his head to look at the empty notebook in front of him, and was silent.
He knew the situation of the new crushing season in his heart, but he didn't understand all the technical issues that Tang Jianhua and Yao Li said.
He recognized one point, according to the past example of the sugar company, even if it made a lot of money this time, the credit has little to do with the administrative office. But if something happens, I will vote in favor, but I will not be able to take responsibility at that time.
What's more, according to his careful observation, he could see that the general manager Wu Bin was also a little drumming in his heart, and he was not as confident as Tang Jianhua and Yao Li. So, he made up his mind to just listen and not talk.
As soon as Wu Bin saw him lower his head to avoid his gaze, he knew that he couldn't get anything from him. He knew this man all too well, and over the years in the company, this person had been the best example of self-preservation.
Repairing water pipes, changing sewers, and sanitation of the company's staff canteen are small things in his role, and it is clear that the director of his administrative office can handle them, but he often asks for instructions and reports in front of himself, the general manager, for fear that you don't know that he has done these things.
But for such a major event as in front of him, as a middle-level cadre of the company, he couldn't say a reason, and the whole meeting was silent.
Thinking of this, Wu Bin couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart.
Yu Shuhua felt that the loan amount was a little too big at the beginning, and slowly heard that Tang Jianhua and Yao Li were too consistent, and used each other's words as a basis to persuade Wu Bin, with a confident and determined posture.
The main business of her branch is alcohol sales, and she rarely involves the sucrose business, and she does not know as much about the changes in sugar prices as Tang Jianhua. Judging from the information, she also thinks that the sales price of alcohol this year will be very good, but whether the price of sugar will rise by more than 1,000 as Tang Jianhua said, she really has no bottom in her heart
She didn't know what Wu Bin's thoughts were, so she was in no hurry to express her position. As the discussion deepened, many of her worries gradually dispelled in the debate.
She herself also thinks that this thing seems to be doable, just like Tang Jianhua said, even if she thinks that it is unlikely that the price of sugar will rise by 1,780 yuan, then the increase of 800 yuan can always be expected, right?
And she saw that Wu Bin was gradually inclined to support Tang Jianhua and Yao Li's opinions in the end, so she agreed.
She also has her own plans in her heart, Wu Bin's opinion is already clear, even if she opposes it, it is useless, in that case, can she still speak to Wu Bin in the future?
If such a large loan amount is approved, it will definitely not be possible to give it all to Tang Jianhua's branch, and he should be able to get a lot of it. With these funds, taking advantage of such a good situation this year, in addition to expanding the original business, we can also do the most profitable cane sugar business.
If this fight is right, the alcohol sales branch will take a big step forward, and it will be more confident to speak in the future.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if there is a problem, there are Wu Bin of the head office and Yao Li, the manager of the finance department, and Tang Jianhua of the sugar sales branch is the big one, they are not afraid, what are they afraid of!
Yao Juncai, manager of the material branch, did not say much at the meeting, and he only learned the news of the sharp reduction in sugarcane production in neighboring provinces just now after reading the meeting materials, and the first feeling that this news brought him was also an excellent opportunity.
Listening to Tang Jianhua's gushing exposition of his suggestions, Yao Juncai's heart was mixed.
His thoughts are somewhat similar to Yu Shuhua's, their company's main business is to provide materials and equipment for sugar factories, the business volume is not large, and they are all jobs that do a lot of work and do not make much money, and the profit is the least among the three branches.
He has been a manager in a material company for six or seven years, during which time he also wanted to open up a new business, but he did not have any spare funds in the past. The entire company's funds were tilted towards the sugar sales branch, in addition to the alcohol sales branch, which he didn't have much left.
The sugar company's main sales business is cane sugar and alcohol. The alcohol sales business requires very special hardware conditions, which is too difficult for me, and I have no conditions to be involved at all, but the sales of sucrose can be done, and the profits are the most lucrative. With the relationship I have established with the sugar factory for so many years, there should be no problem in going to the sugar factory to buy goods.
This time there is an opportunity to get so much money, and the sales situation is so good, it is a pity to miss the opportunity.
Now let go of a big one, it is likely that by this time next year, the funds in the account of their branch will not be the same, and at that time, there will be a lot of room for their own movement, and there is no need to look at other people's faces everywhere.
But looking back and thinking about it carefully, even if it is only involved in the cane sugar sales business now, there is really a shortage of people in his own branch! He now regrets a little that after so many years of dealing with sugar factories, why has he never established a cane sugar sales channel?
Even if there are three or five people under him who are familiar with this business, they will not be blind now.
If the company really approved Tang Jianhua's suggestion, it would undoubtedly be a pie in the sky! I am afraid that I will not be able to catch this pie without anyone in my hands.
Looking at Wu Bin's expectant gaze, Yao Juncai said aloud beyond everyone's expectations: "I support Manager Tang's proposal, this matter is worth doing!"
Wu Bin smiled and nodded, "Tell me your reason!"
Yao Juncai said: "The question now is whether this statistics on the reduction of sugarcane production are absolutely true, and if so, there is no reason not to do it." ”
Tang Jianhua said: "This information should be accurate. ”
Yao Juncai immediately said: "Then I can't hesitate any longer, I don't dare to see the profit margin as high as Manager Tang, but I agree with his analysis that the profit margin is discounted by half, and there is no problem at all with a rise of seven or eight hundred yuan." If you think about it, in the past few seasons, where was there such a good opportunity, and now it's just a matter of doing what needs to be done on a large scale, and I don't think there's any problem. ”
Yao Juncai's words moved Tang Jianhua greatly, if Yao Juncai hadn't sat across the table, maybe Tang Jianhua would have gotten up and given him a hug.
He never thought that Yao Jun would support him so clearly, even if Yao Li, who had spent a lot of effort to win over, was not as powerful as Yao Juncai when he spoke.
