Chapter 392: Half a sentence
A few days later, Zhou Liwen was on a private plane to Shanghai, wide and comfortable aviation sand, Zhou Liwen buried himself deep in it, holding a report in his hand and looking at it carefully. Sitting across from him was Steven, the president of OR Asia, whose expression was as solemn as Zhou Liwen's, and there was lingering irritability in his eyebrows.
"Negotiations with the relevant departments are still inconclusive?" After reading the document, Zhou Liwen raised his head and asked.
Steven shook his head gloomily: "The other party didn't give a clear answer, but just said that there would be a meeting to study and study." As the President of Asia, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this ....... β
"It's not your fault." Zhou Liwen waved his hand to stop Steven from continuing, Steven took this position two years ago, and it turned out that Zhou Liwen had been directly responsible for the work in Asia, but as Zhou Liwen gradually shifted the company's focus from China to the world, he began to set up this new position.
Steven is a very shrewd and strong manager, with a wealth of experience working in China, who was selected by Zhou from a dozen candidates, and Steven, who is the president of Asia, did not disappoint Zhou. Since taking up this position, Steven has been very good, both in terms of coordination with foundries and cooperation with telecom operators, including marketing. In addition, he has work experience in China, and he is also very familiar with China's national conditions and particularities, and his work has been excellent in the past two years, and he has also been commended by the headquarters.
But no one thought that just a few days ago, there was a big event in the OR Asia company, the two major telecom operators that have been working happily, China Mobile and Unicom seem to have negotiated well, and at the same time proposed to the OR company to suspend the cooperation in 3 services, and the telecom superior department also temporarily shelved the approval project for the network access of the OR smartphone, which suddenly disrupted the comprehensive market deployment of the OR company, when receiving a call from Steven from China, Zhou Liwen was surprised in his heart, At the same time, I feel extremely puzzled.
At first, Zhou Liwen didn't take this matter too seriously, he just thought that someone was stumbling on him, and the biggest possibility may lie in a certain leader in the department, or the senior personnel of the two major operators. For this reason, Zhou Liwen specially contacted Wei Zi, after all, Wei Zi's old man is the real person in charge of the ministry, he has cooperated happily with Wei Zi over the years, and with him to help speak, this kind of trivial matter can be solved quickly.
But who would have thought that Wei Zi's phone couldn't get through, which suddenly aroused Zhou Liwen's vigilance. Zhou Liwen immediately contacted Brother Jun again, but Brother Jun's phone was connected as soon as he dialed, and on the phone, he promised to find Wei Zi for him and pass on the matter. But only a day later, Brother Jun took the initiative to call Zhou Liwen to tell him that he didn't know what was going on, even he couldn't contact Wei Zi, and he didn't know what the situation was with this guy.
Zhou Liwen suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked Brother Jun on the phone to try his best to find out about Wei Zi's situation, and then contacted Steven and asked him to immediately conduct "public relations" with the relevant departments to find out. But this also did not come to fruition, when Steven flew from China to the United States overnight to report directly to Zhou Liwen, Zhou Liwen must have had some important changes, otherwise there would not be the current situation. After thinking about it, Zhou Liwen didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately took Steven directly to Shanghai and Haihai to see the situation in person.
As for the so-called "research and research" mentioned by Steven, this is something that both Zhou Liwen and Steven, who is a China expert, know it well. China, as the world's largest market, is also the starting point of Zhou Liwen's career, this market Zhou Liwen is absolutely impossible to give up, no matter what happens, Zhou Liwen must first figure it out, and then can prescribe the right medicine.
But what's going on? Over the Pacific Ocean, Zhou Liwen pondered. On the surface, these two things should be able to be pondered together. The two major telecom operators have to suspend their cooperation with OR for 3 projects despite the contract, and the ministry's obstacles to the approval of OR smartphones are absolutely not separate. The biggest possibility is that the latter is to force Zhou Liwen to make concessions to the former, and even take the initiative to give up the huge compensation stipulated in the contract.
If it is for ordinary enterprises, Zhou Liwen will not be too surprised, this is not the first time that these officials and gentlemen have done this kind of thing, let them do something good for the sake of the people or not, but they are all good at engaging in these conspiracies. But the problem lies on Wei Zi's side, due to the cooperation between Zhou Liwen and Wei Zi over the years, coupled with the rights and status of Wei Zi's old man in the ministry, Zhou Liwen's OR company has not encountered any resistance in the domestic exhibition. But this time, Wei Zi can't get in touch with the world in general, which has never happened before. Could it be that something happened to the old man of the Wei family? But this situation has been vetoed by Zhou Liwen, because he had already inquired about it before deciding to come to Huhai, and the old man of the Wei family was still sitting properly in his original position, without the slightest sign of dismounting.
If so, what is the reason? Zhou Liwen suddenly remembered that a year ago, that is, when he had just started to cooperate with Southeast Province through Xiangjiang Telecom, Wei Zi had tentatively asked him to directly represent this project. For this request, although Zhou Liwen and Wei Zi have always cooperated well, they still refused after careful consideration. It's not that he doesn't want to give Wei Zi a piece of the business, but because of the importance and complexity of the 3 project, coupled with the fact that it includes a lot of high-end technology, Zhou Liwen is now a businessman with a US passport, if he doesn't want to offend the US government, it's better not to do this. Moreover, Wei Zi has always been engaged in OR's mobile phone agent, his channels are mainly in sales and marketing, and he has no ability at all in terms of technology, if the project is given to him, he will not be able to get up, if Yu is not good, it will affect Zhou Liwen's overall plan.
In this regard, Zhou Liwen politely rejected Wei Zi's suggestion, and at the same time made it clear to him why he couldn't do this. Wei Zi didn't say anything at the time, and after listening to Zhou Liwen's explanation, he just nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood Zhou Liwen's concerns, and even jokingly said to Zhou Liwen that if there were other projects, let Zhou Liwen not forget him at that time.
Could it be that Wei Zi holds a grudge because of this reason? Couldn't you make such a move? If that's the case, this matter is in trouble. But if that's not the case, then why can't Wei Zi be contacted? This doubt kept going back and forth in Zhou Liwen's mind, and he didn't understand it until his plane arrived at Huhai Airport.
After getting off the plane, Zhou Liwen was surprised that Brother Xianjun was actually waiting for him at the airport. He hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Brother Jun, and got into his own Maybach together. As for Steven and the others, they left the airport in other cars.
Sitting in the car, Zhou Liwen pressed a button, and a piece of glass rose up from the back seat, separating the cab from the back seat. In this way, their conversation would not be heard by the driver, and Zhou Liwen knew that he must have something to tell him when he appeared at the airport, and he didn't ask until this time.
"I've found this kid Wei Zi." The first sentence that Brother Jun said was this, Zhou Liwen's eyebrows suddenly raised, waiting for him to continue.
Brother Jun shook his head and said: "Brother, my brother's face is not good, looking for Wei Zi, this kid still entrusted Brother Jian's favor, and Brother Jian came forward to inquire before finding him." I'll tell you the truth, this guy hasn't been anywhere, he's been in Kyori all along. β
"Thank you Brother Jian for me." Zhou Liwen said this first, and then asked: "What is the situation on his side?" Have you inquired? β
"What else could it be." Brother Jun snorted disdainfully in his nostrils, and said bluntly: "I said brother, don't be angry, I think this kid is blinded by lard, his situation is very simple, in one sentence it can be summed up as looking at the mountain high." What a fucking fuck, we have been working well together over the years, especially Wei Zi, this kid has made a lot of money from this transaction, and he has also made a lot of money in the real estate market. ...
But he was good, and as soon as he was provoked, he had another thought, thinking about wanting to make it bigger. This time, he planned to snatch the 3 business from his brother and eat meat himself, so he quietly stumbled on you in private. β
Zhou Liwen frowned, Brother Jun's words confirmed his worst guess, and he asked in a deep voice: "In this case, why doesn't he have a showdown with me in person?" After all, everyone has cooperated for so many years, it is a good gathering and dispersal of brothers, and it is not enough to find a hole to hide without even answering the phone, right? This seems a bit ungentleman."
"That's the truth" Brother Jun was very angry and said: "Looking for this kid, I also asked him, how many brothers cooperate to do business, what can't be said clearly?" Is it interesting to engage in these despicable methods? This is tantamount to breaking the rules in the circle, do you know what this kid said? β
"How?"
"He actually said that he didn't have the face to tell you clearly, let me say sorry to you, I hope it won't affect the cooperation that has been there. My grass is thick enough, eating the bowl and looking at the pot, this kind of shameless deed can actually be done? β
Brother Jun looked extremely angry, and he was very worthless for Zhou Liwen. Over the years, although Wei Zi has helped Zhou Liwen a lot, Zhou Liwen's return to Wei Zi is also extremely rich, not to mention anything else, just the agent of the or mobile phone, which has made Wei Zi earn money that he can't earn in his lifetime. Besides, in Brother Jun's opinion, Zhou Liwen is also half of the people in their circle, and he lost money in film and television back then, if he didn't have Zhou Liwen's help, where would he be where he is today? and Brother Jian's side, Zhou Liwen spent a lot of effort to support Brother Jian, so that the opening of Heijiang has changed greatly in just a few years, and now Brother Jian can climb to the high position of real power at the vice provincial level, Zhou Liwen has made great efforts. Based on this, Wei Zi is so inauthentic, and it is strange not to scold this girl.
Zhou Liwen was silent, he thought for a while and asked, "Did Brother Wei say it?" Who was instigating him to do this? β
"You didn't tell me directly, but it seems that Brother Jian inquired about it, but Brother Jian didn't tell me clearly." Brother Jun shook his head and said.
Zhou Liwen sensitively sensed the mystery, and immediately asked, "Did Brother Jian ask you to bring me anything?" β
"Hey, how did you kid know that Brother Jian asked me to bring you a message?" Brother Jun asked in surprise.
Zhou Liwen smiled and said, "I guess." β
"It's strange to believe you" Brother Jun rolled his eyes, then thought for a while: "But you really didn't guess wrong, Brother Jian did ask me to bring you a sentence." He asked me to tell you to take a step back and open the sky, and there is still half a sentence called Seon lost his horse ....... β
"Take a step back and open the sky? And Seon lost his horse? Zhou Liwen frowned, pondering this sentence carefully, it can be seen from these words that Brother Jian understands the inside story, and also pointed out the way to deal with it. Although this method made Zhou Liwen frown a little, it is understandable that Zhou Liwen will give up the cooperation of 3 projects in exchange for the green light channel of OR in the Chinese market. But what does the second half of the sentence mean? Of course, Zhou Liwen understands the meaning of this idiom, but when it is used in this matter, Zhou Liwen only feels that there is no benefit except for his own loss, where does the blessing and misfortune come from?
The bad news that Brother Jun gave himself confirmed his guess, and now Zhou Liwen is extremely disappointed in Wei Zi. But there is also some luck. At least, from Brother Jun's words, it can be heard that although Wei Zi is sorry for Zhou Liwen in this matter, he doesn't seem to have the idea of completely tearing his face with Zhou Liwen, which can be seen from Wei Zi telling Brother Jun that he hopes to maintain the current cooperation with Zhou Liwen. This sentence made Zhou Liwen secretly relieved, because Wei Zi is in charge of the current operator agency business in China, if Wei Zi and Zhou Liwen completely fall out, this channel will have to be re-established, which will greatly affect the sales strategy of OR in China.
And from a business point of view, if the cooperation of operators is in trouble because of Weizi's situation, the absolute market share of the OR sales business in China will be broken, and the shopping mall will be like a battlefield, lagging behind step by step, and now the entire smartphone market is becoming more and more competitive, Zhou Liwen does not dare to be careless about this.
Could it be that this is what Brother Jian said about Saiong's lost horse? Zhou Liwen pondered it carefully, and felt that it was a little impossible. It is said that it is a step back and the sea and the sky are open, but what is the matter with this lost horse?
After pondering for a while, Zhou Liwen didn't figure it out. It seems that this can only be clarified by talking directly to Wei Zi face-to-face. Thinking of this, Zhou Liwen also put his heart down for the time being, at least not to the worst point yet, everything may still have a turnaround.
"Has Wang Ji contacted you recently?" After finishing the business, Zhou Liwen smiled and asked about Brother Jun's private affairs.
"The second girl of the Wang family? Are you really that pot not open and mention that pot, this Tyrannosaurus rex is connected to her? As soon as he heard Wang Ji's name, Brother Jun felt uncomfortable as if he was sitting on a nail under his buttocks.
"I said Brother Jun, how can you say that people are also your fiancΓ©e, right?" Zhou Liwen said with a smile: "Besides, Wang Ji is doing well in Europe now, and I'm still wondering whether to promote her, or transfer her to Asia as a vice president or something." β
"Don't, you spare me, don't let her come back." As soon as he heard this, Brother Jun almost jumped up, and said with palpitations: "It's better to leave her in Europe, or get her to the United States, don't let her wander around in front of me." β
"What's the matter? You're not done yet? β
"What's the end" Brother Jun said with a sad face: "Brother, I have become a joke in Jingli now, who can afford to look down on me with such a fiancΓ©e?" In the eyes of others, my brother and my head are painted with green paint. β
Zhou Liwen almost laughed out loud when he heard this, and finally couldn't help but smile and asked: "It's not so scary, besides, didn't you all discuss it at the beginning, this matter is just a passing court, waiting for a suitable opportunity to dissolve the marriage contract or something." What's wrong? She won't now? Repented? β
Brother Jun suddenly wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it and sighed: "It's hard to say, her eldest brother has been promoted, and now he is also operating as a deputy mayor in the local area." But the key is that the old man of her family doesn't know what's going on, and the old man of her family is very enthusiastic when he looks at me now, and he simply treats me as their own Wang family. And my parents don't know what medicine they are taking, and they are moving around with the Wang family more and more often, you say, if you propose to break up in this case, both sides will not eat me."
"What about Wang Ji? She didn't take the initiative to mention it? β
"She? She doesn't want to be too carefree in Europe, how can she mention that I see that she almost has the meaning of treating raw rice as mature rice, *** ....... Brother Jun gritted his teeth and said, Zhou Liwen looked at Zhile, and it was not easy to persuade him to simply get it from everyone's family, these two guys are really a pair of living enemies.
According to the original arrangement, Zhou Liwen planned to fly directly to the capital after a little rest in Huhai and find Wei Zi to understand the situation. Due to Brother Jun's advance notification, Zhou Liwen changed his itinerary slightly. After arriving in Huhai, he simply stayed in Huhai, which lasted for nearly a week, and it seemed that he had simply forgotten the main thing. In addition to going to several companies in Shanghai every day to learn about the operation and current exhibition situation of these companies, etc., the other is to go to the international language school campus that is almost completed by the old classmates, and then either go to the club, clubhouse for leisure or go to the film and television city with Brother Jun to watch a few new films shot by his company. As for the trip to the capital, it seems that Zhou Liwen has canceled it, but Brother Jun asked once, Zhou Liwen just smiled and told him that he was not in a hurry for the time being, he hadn't come back for a long time, and it was too late to wait for his private and official affairs in Shanghai to be arranged.
(Happy Saturday to all!) Ask for votes! Ask for a recommendation !!!!!!!!!)
