Chapter 475: Speaking
Dumbfounded, yes, dumbfounded, Lu Shaohua's identity made Philip? Wa was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Lu Shaohua was actually the chairman of the Phoenix Group, and then looking at Liu Mingzhang's posture, it seemed that Lu Shaohua was not only the chairman, but also the real boss, that is, the 'talker' of the Phoenix Group.
Phoenix Group is not a listed company and has not carried out financing, and over the years, it has not been rumored that Phoenix Group is a joint venture with multiple shareholders, and people in the outside world almost believe that Phoenix Group belongs to only one person. Philip? Wa also thinks so, he thinks that the Phoenix Group belongs to one person, and this person is the person standing in front of him - Lu Shaohua.
However, the fact is also that the Phoenix Group is owned by Lu Shaohua alone, and there is no share in the hands of outsiders, even his closest and dearest person has never had a single share, well, not to mention all, at least Phoenix Network has a little share in the hands of Ma Huateng, but not much, only 20%.
But Philip? After all, Wa is a person who has seen a big scene, and he quickly calmed down, and his communication skills have reached the highest level, so he quickly stretched out his hand, smiled apologetically, and was not embarrassed, saying that he was not. "Hello! Chairman Lu, please forgive me for my ignorance, I don't know that you are the chairman of the Phoenix Group. ”
Lu Shaohua smiled slightly, shook his head and said that he didn't care, and then said. "Hello, Philip? Mr. Wa"
Saying that, Lu Shaohua also stretched out his hand to Philip? Wa shook his hand, and when he finished shaking it and letting it go, Lu Shaohua continued the topic just now and said. "Royal Dutch Shell is a well-known company in the world, and we at Phoenix Group are very happy to cooperate with your group."
Lu Shaohua's surname is destined that he will not talk nonsense because of communication, and now since he said that he is willing to cooperate with Royal Dutch Shell, then Lu Shaohua wants to cooperate with them, but the project that Lu Shaohua wants to cooperate with is not the cooperation in the Phoenix automobile project, but the cooperation in the oil field.
"Oh!" Philip? Wa was slightly stunned, and then his face was full of smiles, very happy, but Philip? Wa still couldn't help but ask with his surname confirmed. "What Chairman Lu means, can I understand that our Royal Dutch Shell can cooperate with your company's automobile project?"
"No!" Lu Shaohua shook his head, still with a faint smile on his face, and then continued. "We at Phoenix Group also have plans to develop into the oil field, and if your company is willing, we can cooperate in the oil field."
No, Lu Shaohua paused after speaking, and then continued. "Although peers are enemies, it does not mean that they must be enemies, it depends on the willingness of the two companies, if they can cooperate in some aspects and learn from each other's strengths, they can become partners with strong relationships."
Lu Shaohua uses standard American English, although it is somewhat different from British English, but this does not affect the communication between the two. It is not difficult for Tile to be able to understand.
However, I heard Lu Shaohua say that he didn't want to cooperate on the automobile project, but in the oil field, Philip? Wa couldn't help but suppress his smile and fell into deep thought, before he said after a long time. "Chairman Lu, I am the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, but after all, the whole company is a joint-stock company, and the cooperation in the oil field proposed to you is a big project, and I may not be able to answer you now, and I need to wait until I go back to exchange views with the shareholders of the company before I can give you a definite answer."
Philip? After speaking, he paused again, and then added. "Of course, if it were me, I would be willing to cooperate with your group, after all, your group's international reputation is much greater than our company's reputation, and its strength in all aspects is stronger than our company, well, I believe that our company's shareholders will also be tempted by this cooperation."
Philip? Wa is not wrong, the Phoenix Group is stronger than Royal Dutch Shell in terms of reputation and strength, and if it is not a fool, it will be tempted to cooperate.
Lu Shaohua is almost sure that the shareholders of Royal Dutch Shell will be tempted, the reason is very simple, if they choose not to cooperate with the Phoenix Group, the Phoenix Group will still be involved in the field of oil, then then they will stand on the opposite side and establish the enemy of the Phoenix Group.
Phoenix Group is the world's 37th largest group, and Royal Dutch Shell is ranked 49th, the gap between the two is not a point or two, if calculated according to market capitalization, Phoenix Group's market value is more than twice that of Royal Dutch Shell, not a level of companies at all.
It would be unwise to set up a rival with a market value more than twice that of their own company, and anyone with a little bit of brains will know what to choose, and would shareholders who can own Royal Dutch Shell be fools?
The answer is obviously no.
It is precisely in this way that Lu Shaohua is almost certain that it should be possible to cooperate in the oil field, of course, there are also large and small cooperation, and there is also a distinction between large cooperation and small cooperation, but with the strength that Lu Shaohua has now, even if he does not cooperate with other companies, he can smoothly enter the oil industry, but it will be a little slower in speed.
Despite this, Lu Shaohua didn't say it, just smiled at Philip? Wa said. "Otherwise, if the shareholders of your company are willing to cooperate with the Phoenix Group in the oil field, you can send someone to Hong Kong and negotiate at that time."
"Okay." Philip? Wa smiled and agreed.
At this point, the serious matter can be said to be over, and the next thing is to chat, but it didn't stop chatting for long, because the organizer entered, which means that the banquet has officially begun, and it is time to enter the theme.
The representative spoke as a middle-aged man in his mid-fifties, dressed in a more formal suit, and his hair color and eyes showed that he was an orthodox American.
The organizer's speech may involve some professional terms, and Lu Shaohua may not understand it, so he nodded and signaled to Liu Mingzhang, asking him to prepare to translate for himself, and then stood there leisurely, very unimpressed.
The people present were not like Lu Shaohua, with an interpreter, but their expressions were completely different from Lu Shaohua's, they all looked at the person who gave the speech seriously, a little bit didn't know how to pretend to understand, anyway, they just pretended to be like something.
These are not something that Lu Shaohua can manage, he only takes care of himself, as for why he showed a disapproving expression, Lu Shaohua really doesn't care about this official organization. According to Lu Shaobi's plan, what he wants to form is an economic empire with a comprehensive surname, as long as he succeeds, the outcome will be like those old families, and this official organization is not capable of evaluating his group company.
It is precisely in this way that Lu Shaohua will have this performance, but no matter how he does, he will use this event to make the Phoenix Group popular, and at least respect is still necessary.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the representative of the organizer to finish his speech, and the next step was to invite the representative of the world's No. 1 group to come up and say a few words, and then the second and third groups to go up.
After the representatives of the three companies had finished speaking, the moderator stepped onto the podium and announced the next speaker.
“……”
Most of the people in the audience were stunned, according to the previous process, the representatives of the top three companies should enter the reception stage after speaking, and then issue a certificate similar to a certificate, and then it is considered to be over, but this year is different, and another representative has spoken.
This made the people in the venue very incomprehensible, especially those who had participated in many sessions, and they were even more puzzled, they didn't know why the organizer changed the process this year? However, they did not make any protests, but listened with interest.
As for those new companies, they don't understand the previous process, but there is nothing unusual, and they are waiting intently for the moderator to let the next representative go up and speak.
"Next, let us welcome this new promotion with warm applause, and it is also the first time that Feng Jin, the representative of the Phoenix Group, who ranks 37th in the new capacity, will say a few words!" The host didn't have anyone to wait long, and soon said who the speaker was.
Yes, I heard it right, it was the Phoenix Group, but Lu Shaohua was still stunned, a little unresponsive to him, and he didn't know why it was himself.
"Mingzhang, you heard me right, right? Is it us? Lu Shaohua asked in a low voice to Liu Mingzhang, who was standing next to him.
Liu Mingzhang was also stunned, and waited until Lu Shaohua's words fell, and then he spoke. "Well, it seems like it's us."
Even though Liu Mingzhang's tone was not very sure, Lu Shaohua still got the answer, nodded, and walked leisurely towards the podium.
Lu Shaohua is the chairman and owner of the Phoenix Group, and this time he is ready to come to the stage, showing the following on this occasion will not only not affect anything, but can raise the reputation of the Phoenix Group to a higher level.
In the final analysis, Lu Shaohua also wants to thank the organizer for letting him go on stage once, originally Lu Shaohua wanted to give Phoenix Group a chance to show his face through the media, but now he didn't expect that this time the opportunity to show his face is so big.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying his best to calm himself down, Lu Shaohua walked onto the podium, and then the host handed over the microphone, 'coughed' twice, and while trying the microphone, he was also clearing his throat, and then said politely in English. "Hello colleagues, guests! I am Lu Shaohua, the chairman of Phoenix Group, well, thank you for giving us the opportunity to speak this time, so that I can stand here and say a few words to you. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Shaohua stopped, he knew that his identity was not symmetrical with his age, and the people below would definitely be stunned when they heard that he was the person in charge of the Phoenix Group, and Lu Shaohua's intention in pausing was to give everyone a little time to react.
