Chapter 144, Deteriorating with the Times
A week after the listing of Oriental Grains and Oils, Oriental International secretly visited a special guest, Ye Menglong felt very surprised when he received the assistant's notice, because this person should not come to their company, but Ye Menglong still put down all the work at hand to entertain this special guest.
In the living room, Ye Menglong was dressed in a formal suit, and he saw this young man with glasses and elegant elegance, for a successful person like him, even if he was in his thirties, he was very young.
"Mr. Ye is really the same as rumored, not only is he talented, but the beauty is even more impressive." This mysterious guest is Yang Wu, but he did not come this time as a shareholder of Dongfang Grain and Oil, but as a collaborator.
So Ye Menglong was very surprised by his arrival, and the other party's compliment to Ye Menglong was just a polite promise, and then cut to the chase: "Chairman Yang won't come here just to praise Ye." ”
"Of course not, I'd love to meet the chairman behind your scenes, Mr. Canglongcang!" Yang Wu was not verbose, and said directly, "I want to talk to him about COFCO and Oriental International Cooperation, as the acting chairman of COFCO." ”
Ye Menglong was taken aback, because she thought of many scenes of meeting Yang Wu, most of them were Yang Wu coming to show off his might, but she didn't expect him to be so humble and come here as a partner.
"I'm afraid he won't be able to see you now, because he's so busy that I can't even see him." Ye Menglong said calmly.
"That's right." Yang Wu frowned, "Can you please contact Mr. Ye for me, I really have a very important cooperation to discuss with him." ”
Ye Menglong saw Yang Wu's sincerity and felt that he was not contrived, so he let the assistant leave, and after a while, the assistant came back and said a few words in her ear, Ye Menglong gritted his teeth, and seemed to feel that what Canglong was doing now made her very unhappy.
"If Chairman Yang really wants to see our Chairman Cang, then he has to move." Ye Menglong said calmly.
"Oh." Yang Wu nodded, "Where is he?" ”
"You'll know when you go." Ye Menglong gritted his teeth.
Then arranged a car and took Yang Wu to the urban area of Dongning City, in a newly built large football field, Ye Menglong saw Canglong, and the reason why he was angry was because Canglong actually put down the company and didn't do so many things, and watched people play football here, so she was very angry.
He seemed to be discussing something with Hei Man, Ye Menglong was about to walk over, but Yang Wu went to stop her and said, "It's rude to disturb him now." ”
Ye Menglong secretly appreciated Yang Wu's humility and politeness in his heart, how good it would be if Canglong was so elegant, but in business, in private, Ye Menglong still felt that Canglong was more gentlemanly than Yang Wu, although he always had many shortcomings, but he never made her hateful.
After a long time, they were still waiting, Yang Wu didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but Ye Menglong was very uncomfortable, because the sky was quickly overcast, Canglong and Heiman discussed for a long time, obviously he knew that they were coming, but he didn't move over, until it rained, and the four sides of the open-air football suddenly raised a baffle, except for the green field in the center, the entire stand was covered.
At this time, Hei Man stood up and left, just walking in their direction, when he passed Ye Menglong, Hei Man nodded, and then looked at Yang Wu with a nature, and then showed a mysterious smile, I don't know why Yang Wu only felt that this smile made him a little creepy, but he still nodded politely.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Chairman Yang." Canglong suddenly walked over enthusiastically and stretched out his hand like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time.
Yang Wu was a little uncomfortable in this way, even Ye Menglong didn't know what Canglong was crazy about today, he was so enthusiastic, but Yang Wu still stretched out his hand, and the two not only shook it, but even hugged it with both hands.
Then they all sat in the stands, Ye Menglong was about to introduce, but Canglong said: "What do you think of my team?" ”
"Team?" Yang Wu looked at the two teams running on the court, they still didn't stop training in the rain, it seemed that nothing could stop them, but Yang Wu could see that these two teams were very different, because one of the teams was a young face.
The other team is different, most of them are black and white, obviously players hired from foreign countries, and in fact, all the coaches and referees in the entire stadium are basically European and American faces, Yang Wu carefully observed, and found that the skills of these two teams are very good.
The score was still 0-0, but both sides were desperately trying to break down the opponent's goal, and after a long time, finally one of the young players found an opportunity to play a clever combination with his team-mate in front of goal, shook off the opposing defender, and headed home.
Although there was no shouting from the audience, those young Chinese faces were excited, as if they had scored a goal in the World Cup.
"Good shot!" Yang Wu couldn't help but say excitedly, and only after reacting did he know that he was a little out of shape.
Canglong didn't care, just smiled: "After training for so long, they finally broke through Team A's goal once." ”
"Is this your team?" Yang Wu said strangely.
"Yes, these two teams are the teams of Longteng China Club, one of them are all players hired from the West, although they are not famous stars, but they are also very powerful, they have played in China's A League, and are advancing to the Chinese Super League, and the other is the local team we have cultivated, and it is also the future of Longteng China Football Club." Canglong smiled, but there was not much excitement.
Yang Wu's first impression of Canglong was very quiet, and the calmness of ordinary people was more or less pretended, but Canglong's calmness was still natural, as if the sky was falling, and it would not surprise him at all, although Yang Wu could also do this, but he was ashamed that he was not as natural as Canglong.
In front of Canglong, Yang Wu felt like a young man, facing an old fox in his forties and fifties, and this old fox was still his opponent, the goal just now was very exciting for him, but Canglong didn't have the slightest emotion, it seemed to be very ordinary.
But although Yang Wu didn't know why Canglong chose to meet him here, the level of these two teams, even if they were brought to the West, would definitely have results, so he couldn't help but be excited, because he also liked football.
"It seems that Cang Dong is also a person who loves balls." Yang Wu smiled, as if he had forgotten the purpose of his trip.
Canglong appropriately brought the topic back: "Yang Dong came here to avenge me for your father's affairs, or?" ”
"Revenge?" Yang Wu shook his head, "Before I saw you, I didn't have this idea, now I'm more sure that my idea is not wrong, I'm here to talk to you about cooperation, I think there is no company in China that can be more beneficial to the future development of Orient International than COFCO, which will make the two companies go to the peak at the same time, we have the strength and the opportunity." ”
In the last few words, Yang Wu was full of confidence, and he seemed to deliberately accentuate his tone, but when he saw Canglong's calm face, he was a little disappointed.
Sure enough, Canglong smiled and said: "Oriental Grain and Oil is the core company of Oriental International, and it has sold 30% of its shares, so our development is not a problem, just time, in the past ten years, Oriental International, will surpass all companies in this land in terms of technology and strength, and we are not short of money, let alone partners, so"
Yang Wu's face sank, he didn't expect Canglong to come and govern others in his own way, he was confident that Canglong was more confident than him, and in fact, as Canglong said, not even ten years, COFCO would be completely constrained by Oriental International, and it was possible to be acquired at that time, let alone cooperate, all the favorable conditions were on Canglong's side, why should he cooperate with himself?
Just when he didn't know what to say, Ye Menglong suddenly said: "I think Chairman Yang can propose cooperation, it is a good opportunity, COFCO has a lot of foundation that we don't have, if we want to take time to build, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive!" ”
"No, I don't think so." Canglong simply vetoed, "I will not buy COFCO in the future, nor will I cooperate with COFCO, for me, COFCO is just an old and bloated burden, and you cooperate, I not only have to accept your foundation, but also accept your bloated circle of interests, Oriental International is a dynamic company, always injecting fresh blood, pulling COFCO in, will only make the original dynamic company, into a pool of stagnant water." ”
Canglong was so straightforward, which made Yang Wu frown, obviously he didn't expect Canglong to refuse his proposal, even before coming, he had thought about many ways to meet and how to negotiate, but now it was useless.
Ye Menglong stopped talking, Yang Wu was silent for a while, and said, "Chairman Cang means to force us to be enemies?" ”
"There are no eternal enemies, and we have no deep grudges." Canglong shook his head, "But if you want to cooperate with us, you have to be ruthless, I don't want the company to be a bloated burden." ”
"Bloated burden? Do you think that Orient International will not become like this in the future? You may be able to stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime, all you can do in this country is to adapt, cut off the interests, it is equivalent to cutting off your own arm. Yang Wu said coldly, as if he was a little angry, but he had never been so unconfident as he was today.
"Do you know why I chose to meet you here?" Canglong seems to have known that he was coming, "Just like Chinese football, if my club uses the traditional model and system, I'm afraid I will spend more money into it, and their technology will not be like this, there will be no progress at all, because they are not playing football, but rolling in interests, I can't guarantee that Orient International will always be fresh, but I can make it a business that benefits everyone before it deteriorates, and the real benefit will never be to bind a few people, but to bind everyone." ”
As he spoke, Canglong looked at Yang Wu deeply: "So, I never expected it to not deteriorate. ”
Yang Wu was silent, Ye Menglong couldn't understand Canglong's words, but it was obvious that Yang Wu understood: "The times are changing, and the interests are eternal. ”
"You are wrong, the interests are eternal because the person who dominates the interests remains the same, and when the people change, the interests will change, and the interests will change to the good." Canglong smiled, "So people must change with the times, and all those who block the changes of the times will not get benefits, but will only self-destruct." ”
"I'll take your opinion into account." Yang Wu stood up and smiled, a little helpless, "You are much different than I thought." ”
"Hehe, actually, I like you very much." Canglong smiled, "Humility, perseverance, standing in such an identity can still recognize yourself, and it is not easy to recognize this era." ”
"It's not easy for you, either." Yang Wu smiled strangely.
Canglong was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had underestimated the person in front of him who was more than ten years older than himself, he was not going to make the next move, but he still took out the information that he put aside, threw it to Yang Wu and said, "Think about it." ”
Yang Wu opened the information and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed: "You knew I was coming?" ”
"Huh." Canglong did not answer.
Yang Wu asked: "We cooperate, what do you need?" ”
"The pricing power in the hands of COFCO, and at the same time Orient International injected capital into COFCO and became a shareholder of COFCO, although COFCO is a state-owned enterprise, but this is not difficult for you, right?" Canglong smiled.
Yang Wu nodded and said nothing, but his face was ugly when he left, because of the information in his hand, and because of the frustration he brought from negotiating with Canglong
