Chapter Twenty-Four: The Shrewd Zhai Zhongquan
After Lin Qiang returned to Guangzhou, he immediately called Huang Jie and asked him for the phone number of Zhai Zhongquan of the group's production department. At that tea party, Zhai Zhongquan came over to greet and chat with him quite enthusiastically, but Lin Qiang didn't know that he was responsible for the group's external processing, so he didn't care too much, and he didn't even leave phone calls for each other.
Zhai Zhongquan graduated a year earlier than Lin Qiang and entered the factory, when Lin Qiang resigned and left the factory, Zhai was only an engineer in the technical department, and did not have an official and a half-job, listening to Huang Jie, because Zhai was Mr. Feng's hometown, he was soon transferred to the original localization team, that is, the later deputy minister of the technical transformation department, and was specifically responsible for external processing. Mr. Feng himself has long been eyeing this kind of fat shortage, and set up a hardware processing factory outside in the name of others, and instructed Luo Ming, the deputy minister of technology at the time, to take a long leave for physical reasons, specifically to help him manage the processing plant, monopolize almost all the processing in the factory, and make a fortune from it. Until the group went public, Mr. Feng himself was about to retire, only to recruit Luo Ming back to the factory, continue to serve as deputy minister, although a few years have passed, Luo Ming has stagnated in his career, but he does not feel at all at a loss, over the years, he has earned many times higher than the normal salary from the processing plant, and Mr. Feng has earned a huge amount of money that outsiders can not imagine.
Mr. Feng has always been the kind of person who knows how to collect and release, and before he retired, he found a way out and transferred the processing plant to others, and the factory also reformulated new bidding regulations, which seemed to be for the sake of the factory, but in fact, it was to whitewash himself. Zhai Zhongquan has been good at drilling in the past few years, and he has won the favor of Mr. Feng, and has been promoted to the head of the production department, and continues to be responsible for the external processing of the whole factory.
Receiving Lin Qiang's call, Zhai Zhongquan was a little surprised.
In the past, when everyone was in the factory, Zhai Zhongquan and Lin Qiang were also familiar with each other, but they did not have a deep friendship, Lin Qiang was a celebrity in the factory at that time, the spring breeze was proud, Zhai Zhongquan only had envy at that time, and later after Lin Qiang resigned, he never contacted again, and he did not meet again until the tea party.
At that tea party, Zhai Zhongquan took the initiative to get close to Lin Qiangtao, and there was a reason. The group held a high-level meeting not long ago, specifically to discuss the matter of external processing, the new vice chairman Qin also specially asked him to have a serious conversation, originally he thought that the new Qin Xiaohua was not familiar with the specific business, and wanted to fool the past, but as soon as the conversation began, Zhai Zhongquan found that he seriously underestimated this beautiful woman with a cold and arrogant appearance, no wonder the middle level of the factory, and even those CEOs were in awe of Qin Xiaohua.
At the tea party, Zhai Zhongquan has been secretly observing Qin Xiaohua from a close distance, and saw with his own eyes that after dancing with Zhou Qianqiang out of etiquette at the beginning, she politely declined the invitation of other high-level officials, but as soon as Lin Qiang appeared, Qin Xiaohua's attitude was obviously different, and others may not have noticed it, but Zhai Zhongquan, a caring person, immediately saw that Lin Qiang and Qin Xiaohua had an unusual relationship.
He knew that Lin Qiang was attending the tea party as a supplier this time, although the business of the electrical appliance factory was not under his control, but Zhai Zhongquan had also heard that Lin Qiang was helping the electrical appliance factory process those plastic accessories. The reason why Lin Qiang was forced to resign was well known in the management of the factory, Zhai Zhongquan is naturally very clear, those CEOs who had Mao Dun with Lin Qiang in the past have retired, and now the high-level people in the group have a good relationship with Lin Qiang, Mr. Chen and Huang Jie are still Lin Qiang's college classmates, and now seeing that he actually has a relationship with the new vice chairman of the real power, Zhai Zhongquan feels that Lin Qiang is extraordinary.
Therefore, this time he received a call from Lin Qiang, saying that he would come out for dinner at an appointment time, although Zhai Zhongquan was not sure of Lin Qiang's true purpose, he also vaguely felt that it would be related to the processing in the factory. Zhai Zhongquan is also a very shrewd person, and immediately agreed to meet Lin Qiang after work. Now he is in a hurry, if the boss really wants to investigate to the end, the matter of his kickback will happen, and Lin Qiang may be his savior.
After getting off work, Zhai Zhongquan did not go back to his residence, and rushed directly to the "Baiyun No. 1" restaurant next to the Yongtai toll station on Guangcong Road, where Lin Qiang was already waiting for him in the private room on the second floor.
"Brother Zhai, thank you for your face. Do you smoke?" Lin Qiang pulled out his flue.
"Thanks, no smoking. Lin Qiang, I haven't seen you for many years, and you've become a big boss, right?" Zhai Zhongquan said.
"Brother Zhai, don't laugh at me. You also know that I was forced to resign back then, it's not easy to come out, it's muddy, ten years have passed in a flash, and now I still have achieved nothing, unlike Brother Zhai, you have already taken charge of the group, and I hope Brother Zhai you take care of your old friends. ”
"Lin Qiang, don't be humble, I believe that if you work in the unit, you will definitely be at the boss level now. I don't have the ability to come out, so I can only stay in the unit honestly. Sometimes I really envy those of you who have the courage to come out and work hard, and have your own careers. ”
"How to say, the road of life is different, and it is also wonderful and helpless. Lin Qiang didn't want to make too many detours, and said: "Brother Zhai, I heard that the group will re-bid for external processing after the Spring Festival, right?"
"Lin Qiang, you know our group very well, what's the matter, you are also interested?" Zhai Zhongquan heard Lin Qiang ask like this, and he was even more convinced that he had an extraordinary relationship with Qin Xiaohua. At the high-level meeting of the group, only a few CEOs and him, the minister in charge, attended, and no specific arrangements were made at the meeting, but Qin Xiaohua later revealed his intention to re-bid when he talked to him.
"Brother Zhai, I can be regarded as a former Huaguang person, of course, I always pay attention to the development of the group. Lin Qiang said lightly, and then changed his words, "You should have known that I was supplying your electrical factory." To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to be a supplier of the group headquarters, but I have never had the opportunity before, as for the reason, I believe we all know. This time is a good opportunity for me, so I took the liberty to ask Brother Zhai to come out and learn about the specific situation. I hope it won't make it difficult for you, Brother Zhai. ”
"Lin Qiang, you're polite. It's best if you're interested, speaking of which, the localization team was set up by you, and many of the technical parameters and quality requirements of the processed parts have been using the standards you formulated at the time, if you really become a supplier, I have a lot of peace of mind and peace of mind, at least you, the standard setter, will not cut corners on the materials, right?" Zhai Zhongquan said with a smile.
Lin Qiang also smiled and said: "Brother Zhai, I asked you to come out this time, and I want you to ask for something, that is, I want you to provide the drawings and physical objects of those processed parts, I want to make some samples first." "Actually, with Lin Qiang's relationship, he can get the drawings and the physical parts of those accessories at any time, but he just asked Zhai Zhongquan in person, which is more justified, and it is also a necessary respect for him, the minister in charge.
Zhai Zhongquan obviously understood this, and immediately agreed: "No problem, Lin Qiang, you can come to the group to find me at any time." ”
"That's really thank you Brother Zhai. Come, eat the vegetables first, and the stomach has an opinion. Lin Qiang said, "By the way, Brother Zhai, it's not convenient for me to come forward directly, I will let my subordinates contact you directly tomorrow morning." ”
"Understand, understand. Just give me a call then. Zhai Zhongquan smiled at Lin Qiang when he spoke.
