Chapter 127: Fake foreign devils
"What's going on? Didn't you say they wouldn't be here until next week? Why did it come all of a sudden? Zhou Nan was taken aback, his drowsiness was immediately dispelled, and he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I heard that they have other business arrangements next week, so I changed it to this week. Mr. Zhou, you have to hurry, it's too late, if people arrive at the airport, our people haven't arrived yet, it will be very rude. Dai Long smiled and said, "I have already sent you a car, just wait downstairs, you can leave at any time!" ”
Although it is said that Dai Long, the director of the office, was promoted to assistant general manager along with Zhou Nan, in fact, this did not cause Dai Long to do anything at all.
Dai Long is still the director of the office, and seeing Zhou Nan, who is much younger than him, making rapid progress like a rocket, he wants to say in his heart that he has no idea, it is impossible.
But the workplace is not one's own place, and in many cases, heroes are not judged by "qualifications". It's useless to be jealous, you can only accept reality.
"Okay, I'll get over right away!" Zhou Nan hesitated as he spoke, but still didn't say anything.
Putting down the phone, Zhou Nan dialed Meng Chunting's phone.
Meng Chunting picked up the phone, frowned, and said softly, "Why haven't you left yet?" Everyone is almost there, and the flight from Hong Kong to Haidu is about to land......"
"I'll leave right away. I just thought, the company just sent me to meet me alone? Isn't this a bit rude......" Zhou Nan asked in a low voice, he understood very clearly, although he was an assistant to the general manager, but in terms of identity, he was still inferior to the vice president of the company. It can even be said that it is not a level and grade. Zhou Nan will not be arrogant, but he will not be arrogant either.
Moreover, at his age, he has already sat in the position of assistant to the general manager, and has the administrative temporary position of deputy director of the Administrative Management Office of the Municipal Construction Commission (at the department level), which is already very good.
In order to show "respect" for Hong Kong's Lan's enterprises, should the company send a deputy team to greet him in person? This is Zhou Nan's true mentality.
But Meng Chunting said lightly disapprenosingly, "You can just go, you are also a team member and an assistant to the general manager, which is equivalent to the vice president of the company, and it will be done." Besides, they're just a vice president, and they can let me go and greet him personally? ”
"You have always taken the lead in this matter, and if I don't go out, I can only let you go. Other leaders are not in charge of this matter, so who should come forward? Zhou Nan, you arrange for them to stay, and I will attend the welcome banquet in the evening, and as for the other leaders, there is no need to attend. ”
Meng Chunting waved her hand and said, "You hurry up and go!" Call me if you have something! ”
Zhou Nan knew in his heart that Meng Chunting was still thinking about him after all. If Zhou Nan takes the lead in this matter from beginning to end, the cooperation will be completed in the future, and the results will belong to Zhou Nan alone. But if other leaders of the company are involved, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with Zhou Nan, although it is Zhou Nan who does specific work.
………… Zhou Nan took Dong Qiliang, deputy manager of Xinghai Company and director of the comprehensive office, to the airport, and the car was halfway there, he suddenly remembered that if there was a lady among the people who came from the other party, it would be difficult to receive him here, so he called Ma Xiaojing, director of the business department, to take a taxi and rushed over.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan received a representative of Lan's enterprise at the airport -- in fact, it was a representative of Lanli's energy investment group, a subsidiary of Lan's enterprise group, that is, Lan Ruo's direct subordinate.
One of the people who came was John Zhang, director and deputy general manager of Lanli Energy Investment Group, Liu Jie, director of the investment management department of Lanli Energy Investment Group, and Mystere, assistant to the president of Lanli Energy Investment Group.
John Zhang was a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and Zhou Nan guessed that he was probably a mixed-race child just by looking at the name, and later met John Zhang's hooked nose and sunken eye sockets in person, which confirmed Zhou Nan's suspicion.
Liu Jie, director of the investment management department of Langli Energy Investment Group, is an authentic purebred Chinese, a native of Hong Kong, who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, and smiles when he speaks, giving people the feeling of being a very peaceful person. It's just that Zhou Nan understands in his heart that in the shopping mall, the more he treats an "honest person" like Liu Jie, the more difficult it is to deal with and difficult to deal with.
And Lan Ruo's assistant mystere, whose Chinese name is Lin Xueer, reminded Zhou Nan of a brand of perfume.
She is a British-born and raised Chinese, who came to Hong Kong after graduating from university, and is a personal business assistant hired by Lan Ruo with a high salary, proficient in English, Mandarin, Mandarin and Malay, with a delicate appearance and very fashionable dress.
Don't look at the fact that it is still the warm and cold season of early spring, Lin Xueer is still wearing a thin professional skirt, just a fur coat from the outside. With long black hair hanging down her shoulders, a beige coat, milky white riding boots, and a smile like a flower, Lin Xue'er's appearance added a vivid spring color to the dry and lonely Haidu Airport, and her decent and fashionable Hong Kong-style dress and pretty face made Ma Xiaojing, who was standing on the side, look envious for a while.
"Mr. Zhang, this is our Mr. Zhou!" Dong Qiliang smiled and introduced John Zhang and Zhou Nan to each other, John Zhang glanced at Zhou Nan lightly, his expression was a little indifferent.
John Zhang felt very uncomfortable that Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation only sent an assistant general manager to receive him.
In his opinion, he is an executive of Lan's Enterprise, how big is Lan's Enterprise? In the top of the Hong Kong economic circle, the executives of Lan's enterprises came to Haidu, a small coastal city in the mainland, and Meng Chunting, the leader of the Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, should personally come forward to greet them, which is not too much.
At worst, a vice president should be sent over, how to let a young assistant general manager come forward?
At the same time, the scene of greeting at the airport was not as warm as John Zhang imagined, which made John Zhang not feel the sincerity of Haidu City, and he also felt that he was not respected enough, so he was naturally very unhappy.
He didn't approve of Lan Ruo's decision to cooperate with a small state-owned medium-sized enterprise in Haidu, but now that he came, the idea of cooperation in his heart quickly became cold.
John Zhang's Zhang family is also a big family in Hong Kong, with more than a dozen family businesses, of course, it can't be compared with a wealthy family like the Lan family.
Lanli Energy Investment Group is a joint venture company established by Lan's Enterprise and Zhang's Enterprise, with Lan's Enterprise accounting for 80% of the shares and Zhang's Enterprise accounting for 20%. Therefore, John Zhang represented Zhang's enterprise as a director and deputy general manager in Langli Energy Investment Group.
John Zhang does not know much about operation and management, and he is regarded as an "idle meal" in Langli Energy Investment Group. He rushed to come to Haidu this time, but Lan Ruo hesitated for a long time but agreed to his request. However, at the same time, Liu Jie and Lin Xueer were also sent as the main members of the negotiation team.
In Lan Ruo's view, John Zhang's follow-up is just a vase for a trip, and the real business negotiation is still completed by Liu Jie and Lin Xueer.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" Zhou Nan smiled and stretched out his hand.
John Zhang glanced at Zhou Nan haughtily.
John Zhang, who thinks he was born in a big family in Hong Kong, how can he still look at Zhou Nan, the assistant general manager of a mainland company? He smiled faintly, stretched out his hand for Zhou Nan to shake it, and then frowned and said, "What about you Mr. Meng?" We came from Hong Kong, the time is very tight, we have to go to another city next week to talk about the project, there is not much time to stay in Haidu, you hurry up and call your Mr. Meng to come over......"
Who is Zhou Nan, in his previous life, he was a super-rich man, he was like a fish in water in the shopping mall, and he saw a lot of big scenes.
Observing his words and looking at his color, Zhou Nan immediately became insightful: the proud fake foreign devil in front of him must have disliked his identity enough, and felt that he was neglecting him, so he began to "shake his face".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, because you suddenly changed the travel time, which made us feel a little sudden. Mr. Meng went to the city for a meeting in the afternoon and couldn't spare time for the time being...... Hehe, Mr. Zhang, forgive me, in the evening, Mr. Meng will personally set up a banquet to entertain you! ”
"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. We talked on the phone a few times, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so young! ”
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Lin Xue'er, Lan Dong's assistant."
John Zhang wanted to say something, Liu Jie and Lin Xue'er stepped forward to shake hands with Zhou Nan and greet him. Liu Jie is okay, he and Zhou Nan have spoken on the phone several times, although they have not met, they are acquaintances, and their attitude is very friendly.
And Lin Xue'er looked at Zhou Nan seriously, a smile flashed in her beautiful eyes, and when she shook hands with Zhou Nan, she suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, when I came, Lan Dong specially explained to me, asking me to meet Mr. Zhou to convey her greetings to you, a college classmate!" ”
"Hehe, Lan Dong is okay?" Zhou Nan had an unnutritious smile on his face, but there was a trace of turmoil in his heart.
Suddenly, he was very much looking forward to meeting Lan Ruo again - he just didn't know when the next reunion would be.
………… Zhou Nan took Dong Qiliang and Ma Xiaojing to arrange John Zhang and his party of five people at the Haidu Hotel.
In the evening, Meng Chunting really came over in person and held a banquet to entertain the negotiators of Lan's enterprise in a private room in the small banquet hall on the second floor of Haidu Hotel. Because the other party had a tight schedule and was going to leave Haidu for the capital the day after tomorrow, the dinner ended in a hurry, and the first round of cooperation negotiations was immediately launched in the small conference room of Haidu Hotel.
In fact, the initial intention of this cooperation has already been signed by Lan Ruo and Meng Chunting. And for so long, Zhou Nan has also pulled back and forth with Lan's enterprises several times, and basically reached a consensus on many details of cooperation. The only controversy is over equity.
Lanli Energy insisted on holding shares, and the same was true for Zhou Nan. After telephone communication with Lan Ruo, Zhou Nan proposed an alternative plan: that is, Lanli Energy accounted for 46% of the equity of the new company, and the investor of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation also accounted for 45% of the equity of the new company on behalf of Xinghai Company, and then the remaining 9% of the shares were set up by the labor union of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation to attract internal employees to join the shares.
In this way, Lanli Energy has a slight advantage in relative control, and although Xinghai Company cannot be controlled, because there is still 9% of the shares in the hands of the Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Association, it will not lose the right to speak in the new company.
The chairman of the board of directors is appointed by Lanli Energy, while the vice chairman and general manager are appointed by Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, and the chief financial officer is sent by Lanli Energy to supervise the company's finances.
Speaking from facts, this plan takes into account the interests of both sides and should be a more appropriate plan. At the company's party committee, Zhou Nan proposed this plan, which was applauded by all the party committee leaders. is worthy of a business genius who studies economics, and probably only Zhou Nan can come up with such a brilliant workaround.
This plan was agreed in principle by Lan Ruo. However, she suggested that some of the details should be revised, such as the composition of the board of directors, the allocation of seats for each side, and so on. And the purpose of John Zhang and his entourage to Haidu is this.
But unexpectedly, John Zhang suddenly completely rejected Zhou Nan's plan. His "face-turning" not only made Meng Chunting frown, but also surprised Zhou Nan, but even Liu Jie and Lin Xueer, who came with John Zhang, were also surprised.
However, John Zhang's surname, Lin Xueer and Liu Jie are very clear, and after a little thought, they understand that John Zhang may not necessarily want to completely overturn this cooperation (of course, he does not have this power - how can he easily overturn the matter personally finalized by Chairman Lan Ruo), it is nothing more than dissatisfaction with the "snub" of the Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation this afternoon, so as to "retaliate" and deliberately make things difficult.
Lin Xue'er sighed in her heart, although she is a second ancestor, after all, she is nominally the "leader" of the group, and she is also the director and vice president of the group company, so he can naturally speak on behalf of Lanli Energy Investment Group outside. John Zhang is like this, Lin Xueer and Liu Jie are naturally not suitable to interrupt him on the spot and make him make a fool of himself.
Zhou Nan let out a sigh of relief, and secretly complained about how Lan Ruo had sent such a proud, arrogant, stupid and ignorant Second Ancestor over. This kind of person comes out to talk about business, and he will not succeed enough to lose.
"Mr. Zhang, I have communicated with Lan Dong about this plan, and Lan Dong has basically agreed to this plan, what we need to do is to further improve this plan and revise it in some details...... "Zhou Nan said with a smile on his surname, "In fact, according to this plan, you are still relatively dominant!" Hehe, Mr. Zhang, you can take a closer look at our plan, and we will try our best to ensure your interests. ”
