Chapter 0068: The Harvest of Idle Talk
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Hengyang Group held a reorganization celebration banquet.
Early in the morning, Yang Chen was woken up by Jin Meifeng from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a new black suit on his bedside, and before Yang Chen could come to his senses, Jin Meifeng said: "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, entertain guests with me!"
"......" Yang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and held his head in protest: "I also have a good arrangement today......
It's a pity that Jin Meifeng didn't give Yang Chen a chance to protest and quibble, and after leaving a sentence, she went downstairs directly, "Try if this suit fits, I want to see you in the hotel before half past nine!"
Faced with his mother's domineering ultimatum, Yang Chen had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.
This suit was obviously tailor-made for him, although he was not used to such a serious dress, but after wearing it, Yang Chen still felt that he seemed to be quite suitable for wearing a suit...... It's a little less easy-going than wearing casual clothes, and a little more majestic.
The reorganization celebration banquet of Hengyang Group was arranged to be held at the Kumho Hotel, which was about a twenty-minute drive from the Yang family's current villa......
On the table is a glass of warm milk and a sandwich with ham.
But just when Yang Chen sat down and stretched out his hand to solve his belly problem, there was a sudden loud car horn outside: "Dudu ......"
Yang Chen was stunned for a moment, and the car horn sounded three times in a row.
I got up from my chair and walked to the door, only to find a few young people standing there talking and laughing.
Seeing Yang Chen come out, Zhao Zeran, who was also wearing a silver-gray suit today, spit smoke and smiled at Yang Chen: "I haven't come out to play for a while, and I can't even understand the code?"
Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing, took out a pack of soft China from his trouser pocket, walked down the steps towards Zhao Zeran and the others, and said with a smile while handing over a cigarette: "Where are ......you going to play?"
These people who came here were all good people who had played well with Yang Chen before, and they hadn't been in touch for a while, but today Zhao Zeran pulled them over, obviously taking Yang Chen as a part of them again.
"I know, your Hengyang Group has a celebration banquet at noon...... Brothers, I'm here to cheer you on today, otherwise you can dress like this?" Zhao Zeran took the cigarette handed by Yang Chen, and put his hand on Yang Chen's shoulder with a smile, "However, before I go to the Kumho Hotel, I still have something to tell you." ”
The smile on Yang Chen's face remained unchanged, and he lit a cigarette for himself with a 'click'.
"What's the matter, tell me. ”
"A few days ago, everyone knew about what you did, to be honest, I was very relieved, that Song Shijie was yin and yang, and I couldn't get used to him. Zhao Zeran first affirmed Yang Chen's approach, and then said a little embarrassedly: "But how to say it, everyone is from Jinzhou after all, look up and don't look down to see you say it...... right."
"Are you here to be a lobbyist for Song Shijie?" Yang Chen looked at Zhao Zeran strangely, this is not like his temper!
"Phew, can he please me?" Zhao Zeran snorted disdainfully, and then said: "It was Fu Jinhui from the province who sent me a greeting...... Fu Jinhui, you know, right?"
As soon as he heard the name, Yang Chen knew what was going on.
The circle of gentlemen is also hierarchical, very similar to many unspoken rules of officialdom, just like Zhao Zeran and others don't like to deal with the turtles in the towns and villages below Jinzhou, the sons and ladies in the province also look down on Zhao Zeran and them.
Fu Jinhui is a relatively well-known name in the Nanhu Provincial Circle, and it is impossible for Yang Chen not to know.
Hearing this, he nodded and said softly, "That Fu Jinhui from the provincial party committee compound?"
"Well, that's him. Zhao Zeran nodded helplessly, stretched out his hand and said to Yang Chen: "Song Shijie doesn't know which line to take and let Fu Jinhui come out to support him...... Dude, I had to come to you. ”
This kind of layer-by-layer approach is often the preferred solution for gentlemen to resolve disputes.
also knew that Zhao Zeran was difficult to do, and Yang Chen didn't intend to embarrass him, so he nodded and asked, "What do they mean now?"
"Let you set the table and apologize to Song Shijie in person, and then pay for the maintenance of his Maserati, even if this matter is revealed......" While speaking, Zhao Zeran kept observing Yang Chen's facial expression, and after seeing that Yang Chen's face did not change, he continued with confidence: "It's not a big deal, you can't wrestle with Fu Jinhui, right?"
"What time?" Yang Chen smiled noncommittally and apologized for drinking?
But Zhao Zeran thought that Yang Chen had agreed to the conditions of the peace talks, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his tone became relaxed, "Time is not fixed, anyway, it can be done within a week." ”
"You can help me reply. Yang Chen chuckled, shook his head and said, "What tricks are there to let me put the wine and apologize to Song Shijie?" Did they think too much, or did I hear it wrong?"
Zhao Zeran smiled bitterly: "Your family's Hengyang Group has just been successfully reorganized, and now it is still in ruins...... Don't be impulsive, as the old saying goes, take a step back and open the sky......"
"Old Zhao, why have you been getting more and more mixed up in the past few years?" Yang Chen glanced at Zhao Zeran with disdain, and said crookedly: "A greeting can scare you like this, but it's not like the old Zhao I knew before......"
"You...... Alas, whatever you want!" Zhao Zeran was angry, and then smiled bitterly, "Anyway, I've already brought it, how to do it is your own business, I can't care so much." ”
"That's right, friends come and drink wine, and enemies come and have bullets to eat!" What do you do with so much?" Yang Chen laughed and patted Zhao Zeran lightly on the shoulder, "What's more, why do you think that I can't deal with Fu Jinhui?"
Yang Chen's last sentence made Zhao Zeran's eyes light up, "What do you mean ......?"
"Don't think too much about it, I'll just make a casual analogy. ”
“……”
There is actually nothing to do when a group of rich children get together, especially when Yang Chen has to rush to the Kumho Hotel at half past nine, and in such a short time, it is impossible to have any good entertainment projects.
In the end, Yang Chen took the initiative to invite Zhao Zeran and others into his living room, took a deck of poker and played fried golden flowers.
While holding the money in his arms, Yang Chen asked, "What have you been busy with lately?"
Zhao Zeran, who had already lost four times in a row, pursed his lips and said, "Let the surnamed Meng fool and start an auction company, I originally expected your Hengyang Group to go bankrupt and spend a little money on the auction...... Now I am also in the water, and I am sitting and eating nothing. ”
Another young man sitting next to Zhao Zeran lamented: "Last year's financial crisis has not completely passed, and the company can't receive big orders, so it relies on some small orders to survive...... I don't even have pocket money!"
This young man Yang Chen had some impressions, he couldn't help but look at him twice, and asked: "Isn't your family a cooker, Meiyi, and what does the financial crisis have to do with your company?"
Qian Meiyi scratched her head and said, "Who said it doesn't matter? My dad has to complain every day when he comes back...... The domestic market is not moving, and foreign trade orders have dropped sharply, and if this continues, our company is about to go bankrupt!"
"So serious?" Zhao Zeran asked in surprise: "I remember that last year, Ruihua's turnover exceeded 100 million...... How did it decline so much this year?"
"Last year, it was all due to the backlog of orders from the previous year and the orders from the first two quarters. Qian Meiyi looked at the deck of cards she caught, and continued to sigh and sigh: "The domestic market tends to be saturated, and the brand route is becoming more and more important...... If you miss an opportunity, it's hard to get it back. ”
Although several people here are either the children of official eunuchs or rich young masters, when it comes to business, it is also the first to go.
Zhao Zeran smacked his lips and asked while shuffling the cards: "Doesn't your Ruihua company have that patented technology? What's the matter, it can't be sold in the domestic market, and it can't be sold in the international market?"
"Don't talk about that patent, it's just a gimmick...... it's okay not to mention it, but it's a stomach when you mention it, Qian Meiyi smiled bitterly: "This kind of product depends on the layer of paint on the surface, but the market competition is simply perverted...... At the beginning of last year, a small Japanese company made a 'super nano ceramic coating', which was almost sold out in the European and American markets......
Zhao Zeran understood, and he asked: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, your father has never worked technological innovation?"
"Why not?" Qian Meiyi threw away the cards in her hand, gritted her teeth and said: "Those bullshit researchers who just take money and don't do anything, they have changed several times in four years to engage in technology, and they can't get any results except for a bunch of useless papers!"
The speaker had no intention of listening, Yang Chen pressed the card in his hand on the table, "It means that your Ruihua company is suffering from paint technology?"
"Of course!" Qian Meiyi said proudly: "The sales network built up over the years is not necessarily much worse than the original scale of the Japanese company...... If it weren't for the fact that the quality of the products wasn't hard enough, they wouldn't have been able to live happily!"
Yang Chen nodded, touching his chin thoughtfully......
When Qian Meiyi said this, he remembered one thing......
"What kind of paint is used in the non-stick pans produced by Ruihua Company?" asked Yang Chen.
"What else can I use? In addition to nano ceramics, there is only Teflon left...... My company does not have the coating technology of nano ceramics, which is to use Teflon. Qian Meiyi had a headache and said: "As long as it is not dry-burned, the Teflon coating is completely harmless......
"But the hardness is too low. Another young man, who had not spoken, pouted on the side and said: "I have bought the non-stick pan of your Ruihua company, and it will be scrapped in less than a month if you take it home and gently scratch it with a shovel......
"It's not just us Ruihua who is in this situation! Who told you to scratch it with a shovel? Wipe it with a rag and it's over!" Qian Meiyi defended: "If the Teflon coating is properly maintained, the service life is still very long......
"But at present, most consumers in China do not have such a sense of maintenance!" Zhao Zeran said sharply: "The use of non-stick pans is very extensive, but if you buy a pot that you can't shovel with a shovel when you take it home, it is better to use a pig iron pot!"
"So, a few years ago, someone developed the coating technology of nano ceramics, although the coating hardness has increased by several grades, but it will not take a few months, and the ceramic coating will lose its non-stick effect...... Qian Meiyi said helplessly: "The new technology developed by the small Japanese company can increase the coating hardness to more than 6H, and the service life is about one and a half months in Europe and the United States, and about ten months in China." ”
"That's much stronger than the service life of Ruihua in one or two months......"
The non-stick market is a completely unfamiliar field for Yang Chen, but Ruihua's booming performance in the past few years also proves that the potential of this market is very huge.
After pondering for a while, Yang Chen suddenly asked Qian Meiyi: "How much does your Ruihua company produce an ordinary aluminum pot in terms of coating?"
Qian Meiyi hesitated for a moment and responded: "It depends on the process, some pots and pans need to be printed, the cost is more expensive, and some don't need to be printed, so they are cheaper...... In general, the cost of coating is about 6 to 18 yuan, which fluctuates greatly. ”
Yang Chen nodded and didn't speak, silently calculating his own account in his heart.
Zhao Zeran glanced at Yang Chen with some inquiry, and asked, "Does Yang Chen have any ideas?"
"It's a little bit of an idea...... Yang Chen put away his thoughts, nodded and said: "I have one coating technology on my side, if according to Meiyi, it is absolutely no problem to kill the products of that company in small Japan......
"What kind of technology is so powerful?" Qian Meiyi was a little overjoyed.
Yang Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Just call it...... Super Super Nano Ceramic Paint Bar!"
Several people in the audience were choked.
Qian Meiyi smiled bitterly: "I'm not joking with you......"
"I'm not kidding. Yang Chen thought about it, calculated the time, and said, "In this way, in a week, you come to my house, and I will bring the sample to you to try on the spot, okay?"
"Okay, yes, you have to give me a thorough understanding first!" Qian Meiyi was a little crazy, "What is the hardness of the paint?"
"The hardness should be above 9HB, which is comparable to corundum...... The service life should not be less than six years, right?"
"The hardness of 9HB is still above!" Qian Meiyi went crazy, "Big brother, you didn't fool me, did you? The hardness of the diamond is only 10HB!"
"What are you doing?" Yang Chen glanced at him and said, "This paint is the result of decades of research by a top scientist...... Ahem, anyway, wait to see the sample!"
