Chapter 144, Deteriorating with the Times
A week after the listing of Oriental Grains and Oils, Oriental International secretly visited a special guest, Ye Menglong was surprised when he received the notice from his assistant, because this person should not come to their company, but Ye Menglong still put down all the work at hand to entertain this special guest
In the living room, Ye Menglong saw this elegant young man with glasses in a formal suit, for a successful person like him, even if he was in his thirties, he was very young
"Mr. Ye is really the same as rumored, not only is he talented and beautiful, but he also makes people faint," this mysterious guest is Yang Wu, but he did not come this time as a shareholder of Dongfang Grain and Oil, but as a collaborator
So Ye Menglong was very surprised by his arrival, and the other party's compliment, Ye Menglong was only polite, and then cut to the point: "Chairman Yang won't come here just to praise Ye."
"Of course not, I really want to meet the chairman of the board of directors behind your scenes, Mr. Canglongcang," Yang Wu was not verbose, and said directly, "I want to talk to him about COFCO and Oriental International Cooperation, as the acting chairman of COFCO."
Ye Menglong was taken aback, because she thought of many scenes where she met Yang Wu, most of them were Yang Wu coming to show off her might, but she didn't expect him to be so humble and come as a partner
"I'm afraid he won't be able to see you now, because he's so busy, and even I can't see him," Ye Menglong said calmly
"That's it," Yang Wu frowned, "Can you please contact Mr. Ye for me, I really have a very important cooperation to discuss with him"
Ye Menglong saw Yang Wu's sincerity and felt that he was not pretentious, so he let the assistant leave, and after a while, the assistant came back and said a few words in her ear, Ye Menglong gritted his teeth, and seemed to feel that what Canglong was doing now made her very unhappy
"If Chairman Yang really wants to see us, Chairman Cang, then he has to move," Ye Menglong said calmly
"Oh" Yang Wu nodded, "Where is he?"
"You'll know if you go," Ye Menglong gritted his teeth
Then arrange a car to take Yang Wu to the urban area of Dongning City, in a newly built large football field, Ye Menglong saw Canglong, the reason why he was angry was because Canglong actually put down the company and didn't do so many things, and watched people play football here, so she was very angry
He seemed to be discussing something with Hei Man, Ye Menglong was about to walk over to Yang Wu to stop her and say, "It's rude to disturb him now."
Ye Menglong secretly appreciated Yang Wu's humility and politeness, and how good it would be if Canglong was so elegant, but in business, Ye Menglong still felt that Canglong was much more gentlemanly than Yang Wu, although he always had many shortcomings, he never made her hateful
After a long time, they were still waiting, Yang Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but Ye Menglong was very uncomfortable, because the sky sank quickly, Canglong and Hei Man discussed for a long time, obviously he knew that they were coming, but he didn't move, until it rained, and the four sides of the open-air football suddenly raised a baffle, except for the green field of zhōng yāng, the entire grandstand was covered
At this time, Hei Man stood up and left, just walking in their direction, passing by Ye Menglong, Hei Man nodded, and then looked at Yang Wu with a certain quality, and then showed a mysterious smile, for some reason, Yang Wu only felt that this smile made him a little creepy, but he still nodded politely
"I've been waiting for Chairman Yang for a long time," Canglong suddenly walked over enthusiastically and stretched out his hand, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time
In this way, Yang Wu was a little uncomfortable, and even Ye Menglong didn't know what Canglong was crazy about today, but he was so enthusiastic, but Yang Wu still stretched out his hand, and the two not only shook it, but even hugged it with both hands
Then they all sat in the stands, Ye Menglong was about to introduce Canglong, but he said: "Look at how my team is"
"Team" Yang Wu looked at the two teams running on the field, in the rain, they still did not stop training, it seemed that nothing could stop them, but Yang Wu saw that the two teams were very different, because one of the teams was a young face
The other team is different, most of them are black and white, and they are obviously players hired from abroad, and in fact, all the coaches and referees in the entire stadium are basically European and American faces, Yang Wu carefully observed that the skills of these two teams are very good
The score was still 0-0, but both sides were desperately trying to break through the opposition's goal, and after a long time, one of the young players finally found an opportunity to play a clever combination with his team-mate in front of the goal, shaking off the opposing defender's header
Although there were no shouts from the crowd, the young Chinese faces were as excited as if they had scored a World Cup goal
"Good ball," Yang Wu couldn't help but say excitedly, and only after reacting did he know that he was a little out of shape
Canglong didn't care, just smiled: "After training for so long, they finally broke through Team A's goal once."
"Is this your team," Yang Wu said strangely
"Yes, these two teams are the teams of Longteng China Club, one of them is all players hired from the West, although they are not famous stars, they are also very strong, they have played in China's A League and are advancing to the Chinese Super League, and the other is the local team we have cultivated, and it is also the future of Longteng China Football Club," Canglong smiled, but he didn't have much excitement
Yang Wu's first impression of Canglong was very quiet, and the calmness of ordinary people was more or less pretended, but Canglong's calmness was natural, as if the sky was falling, and it would not surprise him at all, although Yang Wu could also do this, but he was ashamed that he was not as natural as Canglong
In front of Canglong, Yang Wu felt like a young man facing an old fox in his forties and fifties, and this old fox was still his opponent, and the goal just now was very exciting for him, but Canglong didn't have any emotion, it seemed to be very normal
But although Yang Wu didn't know why Canglong chose to meet him here, the level of these two teams would definitely be successful even if they were brought to the West, so he couldn't help but be excited, because he also liked football
"It seems that Cang Dong is also a person who loves ball," Yang Wu said with a smile, as if he had forgotten the purpose of his trip
Canglong appropriately brought the topic back: "Yang Dong came here to avenge me for your father's affairs, or?"
"Revenge" Yang Wu shook his head, "I didn't have this idea before I saw you, now I'm more sure that my idea is not wrong, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, I think there is no company in China that can be more beneficial to the future development of Orient International than COFCO, which will make the two companies go to the peak at the same time, we have the strength and opportunity."
In the last few words, Yang Wu was full of confidence and seemed to deliberately accentuate his tone, but when he saw Canglong's calm face and didn't care, he was a little disappointed
Sure enough, Canglong smiled: "Oriental Grain and Oil is the core company of Oriental International, and has sold 30% of the shares, so our development is not a problem, just time, in the past ten years, Oriental International will steadily surpass all companies in this land in technology and strength, and we are not short of money, let alone partners, so"
Yang Wu's face sank, he didn't expect Canglong to come to a way to govern his people, he was confident that Canglong was more confident than him, and in fact, as Canglong said, even if it didn't take ten years, COFCO would be completely constrained by Oriental International, and it would be possible to be acquired at that time, let alone cooperate, all the favorable conditions were on Canglong's side, why should he cooperate with himself
Just when he didn't know what to say, Ye Menglong suddenly said: "I think it is a good opportunity for Chairman Yang to propose cooperation, COFCO has a lot of foundations that we don't have, if we have to take time to build, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive."
"No, I don't think so," Canglong said very dryly, "I will not buy COFCO in the future, nor will I cooperate with COFCO, for me, COFCO is just an old and bloated burden, and I will not only accept your foundation, but also accept your bloated interest circle, Oriental International is a dynamic company, injecting fresh blood all the time, pulling COFCO in, will only make the original dynamic company become a pool of stagnant water"
Canglong was so straightforward that Yang Wu frowned, obviously he didn't expect Canglong to refuse his proposal, and even before he came, he had thought about many ways to meet and how to negotiate, but now it was useless
Ye Menglong stopped talking, Yang Wu was silent for a while, and said, "Chairman Cang means to force us to be enemies."
"There are no eternal enemies, and we don't have deep grudges," Canglong shook his head, "but if you want to cooperate with us, you have to be ruthless, I don't want the company to be a bloated burden"
"Bloated burden, do you think that Oriental International will not become like this after the rì, you may be able to stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime, in this country, all you can do is to adapt, cutting off the interests is equivalent to cutting off your arm," Yang Wu said coldly, as if he was a little angry, but he had never been so unconfident as today
"Do you know why I chose to meet you here," Canglong seemed to know that he was coming, "just like Chinese football, if my club uses the traditional model and system, I'm afraid I will spend a lot of money into it, and their technology will not make any progress at all, because they are not playing football, but rolling in interests, I can't guarantee that Orient International will always be fresh, but I can make it a business that benefits everyone before it deteriorates, and the real benefit will never be to bind a few people, but to bind everyone"
Saying that, Canglong looked at Yang Wu deeply: "So I never expected it to not deteriorate"
Yang Wu was silent, Ye Menglong didn't understand Canglong's words, but it was obvious that Yang Wu understood: "The times are changing, and the interests are eternal."
"You are wrong, interests are eternal and unchanged, because the people who lead the interests do not change, people change, interests will change to benefits," Canglong smiled, "so people must change with the times, and all those who block the changes of the times will not get benefits, but will only self-destruct"
"I'll consider your opinion," Yang Wu stood up and smiled, a little helpless, "You're much different than I thought"
"Hehe, actually, I like you very much," Canglong smiled, "It's not easy to be humble and stoic, standing in such an identity, and still recognizing yourself and recognizing this era"
"It's not easy for you," Yang Wu smiled strangely
Canglong was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had underestimated the person in front of him who was more than ten years older than himself, he was not ready to make the next move, but he still took out the information that he put aside, threw it to Yang Wu and said, "Think about it"
Yang Wu opened the information and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed: "You knew I was coming"
"Hehe" Canglong didn't answer
Yang Wu asked: "What do you need for our cooperation?"
"The pricing power in the hands of COFCO is at the same time Orient International injected capital into COFCO and became a shareholder of COFCO, although COFCO is a state-owned enterprise, it is not difficult for you, right?" said Canglong
Yang Wu nodded, saying nothing, but his face was ugly when he left, because of the information in his hand and the frustration he brought to him because of his negotiation with Canglong
