Chapter 135: Good News
"Brother-in-law......."
"Don't call it that, I listen awkwardly, so let's do it, you call me Awen, and I'll call you Asen."
After Lin Sen attended Zhou Liwen's engagement banquet, he had to fly back early the next morning, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, his wife and children are still waiting for him to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Huacheng, even if he is in a hurry, he has to rush back.
Yesterday was a busy day, in order to let Lin Yaxuan's family have a good rest, Zhou Liwen Mao recommended himself to take over the task of sending people, although Lin Sen smiled and said that it didn't matter if he left alone, but Zhou Liwen was the master after all, where is the reason why guests don't welcome and don't send when they leave? He specially borrowed a car, and drove to the hotel before dawn the next day to pick up Lin Sen and rush to the airport.
Zhou Liwen took the initiative to change the title, and Lin Sen agreed with a smile after a little hesitation, but he still solemnly said how this title should be called or how it should be called in a formal family setting, otherwise it would be miserable to mess up the generations and be taught a lesson after the father of the family knew about it.
Zhou Liwen smiled and agreed, the two talked and laughed on the road, and they chatted very well. Lin Sen is several years older than Zhou Liwen, and he also holds a senior position in the Li family's enterprise, and he himself received an MPA degree from Columbia University many years ago, and can be called the elite of Shanghai Returned High School. He and Zhou Liwen had met in Xiangjiang before, although the two sides had contact but only knew each other, and it was the first time that they had a long chat like this.
At first, Lin Sen only thought that Zhou Liwen was a relatively smart person, because of luck and the opportunity to work in a state-owned enterprise, he would privately start a Guo family, but along the way, the two began to talk about the Li family's help with Guo's logistics, and gradually talked about the future prospects of the entire logistics industry, and then talked about the international and domestic economy, science and technology exhibitions, future market trends, corporate decisions, etc., as the topic gradually deepened, Lin Sen's expression became more and more surprised, He didn't expect that Zhou Liwen was not as shallow as he imagined, but a very capable and far-sighted young man.
"Arwen, are you really just a bachelor's degree, and you are still studying statistics? Haven't studied abroad? ”
"What's wrong? I'm Xiaoya's senior, and it's all written in the file. Zhou Liwen didn't understand why Lin Sen asked, his eyes looked ahead, holding the steering wheel and joking.
"No, no, no, I don't mean anything else, just a little curious. What you said just now, if you have studied abroad...... It makes sense, but you ....... Lin Sen said with some emotion, Zhou Liwen immediately smiled after hearing it: "This society is a university, I haven't learned it in school, and I will slowly teach you when I get to the society, and I usually don't have other hobbies, I just like to read, although my major is statistics, but I have always been interested in management and finance, and I also subscribe to some foreign economic journals every year to recharge my batteries." ”
"No wonder!" Lin Sen suddenly realized, but he still admired Zhou Liwen a little, after all, there are many people in the world who rely on self-study, and it is very rare to learn Zhou Liwen like this, not to mention that Zhou Liwen can still apply what he has learned, and he started such a big stall as Guo's from scratch. Although Zhou Liwen established Guo's some tricks, in a sense, it can even be said that he broke some rules, but who doesn't play some tricks when he starts a big business? What's more, this is not something that ordinary people can do. If it weren't for the fact that the Li family deliberately checked Zhou Liwen's details in order to find out his origin, and Lin Sen was responsible for handling this matter, Lin Sen even thought that Zhou Liwen had the same experience of studying abroad as him.
"Actually, people like you should go out and have a look, especially to study for an MPA degree at my alma mater. To be honest, although I got the MPA at the beginning, I had no experience in the company at that time, and I relied entirely on rote memorization to get through. Looking back now, I didn't learn a lot of useful things back then, and if I had the opportunity in the future, I would like to go back to school and go back to school. Lin Sen talked about his experience of studying at Columbia University with great emotion, and strongly recommended Zhou Liwen to have the opportunity to study for two years, like them, who have already served as business managers and have rich social experience, and then go to study for MPA, the effect is far better than that of ordinary college students.
"Let's see the chance, maybe I will have time." Zhou Liwen replied noncommittally, Lin Sen didn't take this as a joke after hearing this, but very seriously built a trip to Zhou Liwen, not to mention that with the gradual expansion of the career, it is absolutely impossible to rely only on the country, just like the Li family, although it started from Huacheng, but over the years has gradually shifted the focus and corporate headquarters to Xiangjiang and overseas, although the domestic market is large, but there are too many policies and uncertain factors, the soil for private exhibitions is weak, if you want to avoid pigs being slaughtered to eat meat, the legal mechanism is more perfect overseas or choose.
Zhou Liwen agrees with this construction, Lin Sen does not know that Zhou Liwen has already started to handle it, and his two offshore companies and Xiangjiang Company are also for this reason. However, Zhou Liwen has no idea of going to the United States for the time being, but who can say what will happen in the future, although Zhou Liwen does not have this arrangement for the time being, he still sincerely thanked Lin Sen.
When he arrived at the airport and helped change his boarding pass, Zhou Liwen said goodbye to Lin Sen when he saw that the time was almost up, and made an appointment to return to Huacheng after the New Year to have time to reunite. Just as Zhou Liwen was about to turn around and leave, Lin Sen suddenly stopped him and quietly told him a surprise news.
"What! Are you saying that your company is going to divest the logistics piece? ”
"That's right." Lin Sen nodded and said: "According to the exhibition in recent years, the cost of its own logistics has gradually increased, so a meeting was held at the headquarters of Xiangjiang a month ago, and the board of directors resolved to unanimously agree to separate the logistics department from the group, and the logistics department in the future is only responsible for the coordination with professional logistics companies, and is no longer as fully responsible for the logistics business of the subordinate enterprises as it is now." ”
Zhou Liwen was surprised and delighted, Lin Sen told him that this news was tantamount to giving him a chance, the Li family's enterprises are only in Huacheng, and these logistics businesses are even larger than Guo's existing business combined. If you can get the logistics project of the Li family, it will be of great help to Guo's exhibition. However, even if everyone is a relative, it is not easy to get the project.
According to Lin Sen, the adjustment will be completed in June this year, that is, from the second half of this year, the Li family's own logistics fleet will be completely stripped out, so that a professional logistics company will be responsible. As for who will be handed over to this project, according to the meeting, all logistics projects will be packaged and tendered around April, and then tendered to major logistics companies and fleets in the form of bidding, and the most suitable partners will be selected among these companies.
"It stands to reason that these can't be sued by you, but no matter what, we are also relatives, not to mention that you and Li Dong are not outsiders, so this decision that has been determined will be said. But there is one thing that must be reminded of you, Li Dong is very particular about business, and it is useless for relatives to be on his side, what he values is strength. So if you want to get this project, you have to prepare well, okay, I should also go in, and we will see you in Huacheng or Xiangjiang! ”
