Chapter 453: Termination of Cooperation
It wasn't until Xiao Ping's car drove across the corner that he returned to his desk and picked up the phone and instructed the secretary: "Let Manager Zhao from the marketing department come to my office!"
After putting down the phone, the man sneered and muttered to himself in Italian: "I really didn't expect it, Xiao, let's meet again so soon!"
This young man is none other than the handsome Italian Lorenzo De Niro. As the heir to the De Niro family, Lorenzo would travel around the world to inspect the family's estates. The De Niro family recently invested in the Oriental supermarket chain, becoming the company's largest shareholder. Lorenzo also went to Shencheng only before yesterday to inspect the company's operations, and happened to see the scene when Xiao Ping left the company.
Lorenzo is handsome and chic, young and golden, and has always been very proud in love, and is definitely a high-end playboy. However, he failed in competing with Xiao Ping to pursue Jessica, and he still regards it as the biggest shame to this day. Today, he found that his rival actually appeared in his company, and Lorenzo naturally would not let go of this opportunity easily, and immediately called his subordinates to ask for clarification.
I don't know why the big boss of Lu Dao will suddenly summon him, and Manager Zhao is inevitably a little apprehensive. After receiving the notice, he rushed to Lorenzo's office as fast as he could, and greeted the young man in front of him in a restrained manner: "Hello, Mr. Lorenzo. ”
"Sit. Lorenzo pointed to the chair in front of the desk, then looked at Manager Zhao and asked unhurriedly: "I just saw you send the people from the Xianhu Company out, and our company has business dealings with them?"
Listening to the big boss ask about this matter, Manager Zhao quickly recalled it and made sure that he did not make any mistakes when negotiating with the fairy pot company. Only then did he cautiously reply: "Their company has launched a health care product and wants to sell it in our store." We've agreed, but we haven't officially started working together yet. ”
Lorenzo nodded and asked, "Is the contract signed?"
"Not yet. The contract will be officially signed tomorrow morning. Manager Zhao replied honestly.
"Good. Lorenzo leaned back in his chair and said, "Tomorrow the other party comes, you tell them directly, there will be no more cooperation, and the company will not sign a contract." ”
didn't expect Lorenzo to make such a decision, and Manager Zhao couldn't help but be surprised. He spent a lot of energy in order to negotiate the cooperation with Xianhu Company, and naturally he didn't want his efforts to be in vain, so he couldn't help but say: "What are you talking about?" I think their products can fill the gap in our health care products very well......
"Mr. Zhao!" Lorenzo raised his voice with a blank face, "Don't forget that the company is now controlled by the De Niro family, and my decision is the family's decision." You don't have the right to question it, just execute it!"
Lorenzo's words made Manager Zhao suffocate. There was no other reason to refute him. People are the big bosses of the company, and it's not easy to prevent a certain product from entering the market?
Although Manager Zhao was a little unwilling, there was no need to put his future and work on the line. He answered, and left the office sullenly.
"Hmph, Xiao Ping, let you know that the Nile family is not easy to mess with. Waiting for Manager Zhao to leave, Lorenzo said to himself coldly: "If you want to invade our traditional realm, you will be sniped by the clan in all domains!"
As the heir to the De Niro family, Lorenzo received the best education from an early age. Although he is somewhat of a playboy character. But it is not a person who takes revenge on official affairs for the sake of personal vendetta.
In fact, the main reason why Lorenzo and Xiao Ping are against each other is because the brand of Xianhu was originally developed by dealing in various agricultural products. In particular, the truffles operated by Xiao Ping are the traditional business scope of the De Niro family. As the name of the "fairy pot" brand became more and more famous, the De Niro family gradually felt the threat of Xiao Ping. At the last family meeting, several key figures had agreed to limit his development. This is the real reason why Lorenzo killed the project as soon as he knew that Xiao Ping wanted to cooperate with the Oriental supermarket chain.
Xiao Ping didn't know anything about it. The next morning, he and Li Cheng came to Manager Zhao's office on time. Happily ready to sign.
Seeing the two people with happy faces, Manager Zhao also felt a little embarrassed. After all, it's time to sign the contract. At this time, it is really unreasonable to reject the other party.
However, Lorenzo himself suppressed this matter. Manager Zhao didn't have the ability to resist, so he could only say with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, two, I'm afraid this contract can't be signed." Between us and your company...... There will also be no form of cooperation. ”
These words surprised Xiao Ping and Li Chengcheng. The two looked at Manager Zhao in surprise, hoping that he was just joking. However, Manager Zhao's serious and slightly apologetic expression showed that this was definitely not a joke, but something that actually happened.
At this moment, Xiao Ping's heart was full of surprise, doubt, unwillingness and annoyance, he frowned and looked at Manager Zhao, who was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
And Li Cheng, who came with Xiao Ping, couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and involuntarily clenched his fists and yelled at Manager Zhao: "What is this for, didn't we say it well yesterday?"
Manager Zhao was already a middle-aged man, and he couldn't help but be a little scared in the face of these two angry young people. In case Xiao Ping and Li Chengzhen started in anger, they were definitely not the opponents of these two young people, and they couldn't escape a beating, and they didn't know if the Ludao Company would be considered a work injury.
Thinking of this, Manager Zhao hurriedly waved his hands and persuaded Li Cheng with kind words: "Mr. Li, if you have something to say, don't get excited!"
Fortunately, Xiao Ping is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, although he is angry, he has not lost control, and quietly said to his sales manager: "Li Cheng, you go out first, let me talk to Manager Zhao alone." ”
Although he wanted to beat this surnamed Zhao severely, Li Cheng did not dare to disobey Xiao Ping's orders. He glared at the other party hatefully, and then reluctantly walked out.
There was no need to face the angry Li Cheng, which made Manager Zhao secretly relieved. He smiled apologetically at Xiao Ping and explained to him awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Xiao. It was only after you left yesterday that I received an order from above to terminate all cooperation with your company. ”
Since Manager Zhao was not the initiator of this matter, Xiao Ping didn't need to be angry with him, he just asked sincerely: "Mr. Zhao, I just want to know who made this decision?"
"Our company has just been acquired by the Italian De Niro Group. Manager Zhao didn't intend to hide it from Xiao Ping in this regard, and said frankly: "I think this is made by Lorenzo, the heir of the De Niro family, I really can't help it!"
"I see. Xiao Ping suddenly realized: "I understand!" (To be continued.) )
