Chapter 300: The Road Ahead
"This is what the above asked me to give you, and the above didn't say anything, just that you will understand it when you get it." Xia Mingyu took a Wen Jiàn bag to Liu Tao, and Liu Tao opened the Wen Jiàn bag and glanced at it, then put it in and did not speak. Xia Mingyu naturally didn't ask much when he saw Liu Tao's appearance, and the person sitting in his position should know what things can be asked and what things can't be asked.
"Okay, I heard that you will leave in two days, I won't send you, I will send the car to the hotel for you tomorrow, rest assured, it is definitely a field jeep for the army." Xia Mingyu stretched out his head and said to Liu Tao: "By the way, there is one more thing, don't take it to heart what you did in Wangfujing yesterday, I mean it's better not to make trouble about some things now." ”
"I know what to do."
"Okay, don't go too far, as long as you don't go too far, we can act as if nothing happened." When Xia Mingyu left, he specially reminded Liu Tao, and Liu Tao naturally knew what Xia Mingyu was talking about. Liu Tao smiled slightly and nodded lightly. Xia Mingyu saw Liu Tao's attitude that he drove away, he had already said everything he had to say, and it was not his business to do what Liu Tao did.
Liu Tao returned to the hotel, accompanied Shiyu to eat something in the hotel, and when it was more than six o'clock, Geely's assistant to the president personally came to invite Liu Tao to the banquet. This kind of banquet Shiyu knew that his identity was absolutely not allowed to go, at least in this country, Shiyu could never accompany Liu Tao alone to attend this kind of banquet, so he took the initiative to wait for Liu Tao to come back in the hotel. Liu Tao thought that it was really not suitable to take Shiyu with him, so he took two bodyguards from Zhongnanhai to the banquet.
"Mr. Liu. Come, sit. ”
"Uncle Li is polite, if Uncle Li doesn't dislike the kid Gao Pan and call me Xiaoliu, it will be more cordial." Liu Tao has a huge box with two of himself, and he can't be polite, just pull the relationship. In China, connections are very important, and relationships are sometimes more effective than money, and Liu Tao now deeply understands this.
"Okay, I'll call you Xiaoyanagi." Li Hongbo sat opposite Liu Tao with a smile on his face. looked at the deserted private room: "Xiaoyanagi." Why don't you find a few people to come over and accompany you for a drink? ”
"Uncle Li, forget about it, my wife is pregnant and is about to give birth. If something happens at this time. My mom was probably going to sweep me out of the house. Liu Tao naturally knew what he meant. This phenomenon is not uncommon, two men come out, especially two rich men come out. You can't let two big men sit together to eat, talk and fart.
Li Hongbo showed an expression on his face that I understand, and smiled: "It seems that Xiaoliu, you are not only so successful in business, but also a rare good man in your family." In that case, then let's eat, eat. ”
Li Hongbo and Liu Tao naturally had a meal, but in fact, the two didn't want to eat this meal, but relied on this meal to connect with each other, and then they could do other things. After three rounds of drinking, the two finally talked about business, and they both said that it was easy to do things at the wine table, which was the experience summed up by the ancestors of Huaguo for thousands of years. Li Hongbo briefly mentioned cooperation with Liu Tao at the wine table, and seeing that Liu Tao was interesting, Li Hongbo naturally came to the spirit.
"You're saying we're working together to build the best cars in the world?"
"Yes, you have a brand, I have technology, the best technology in the world, as long as you and I join forces, it is not difficult to conquer the luxury car market, but I don't know what Uncle Li wants?" Liu Tao looked at Li Hongbo, whose face was a little red, and said excitedly, I don't know if Li Hongbo was excited or because of drinking, anyway, he looked at Liu Tao differently now.
"What do you need us to do with Geely?"
"Let's work together to create a new car brand, Uncle Li, what conditions do you say?" Liu Tao kicked the ball back again: "And my car factory is already in the planning, all the procedures have been prepared, just waiting for the approval from above, Uncle Li, you should know that I only need to hand over this document to the above, I dare to guarantee that the approval will come down in less than a week, I don't know if Uncle Li believes it or not?" ”
"Believe, of course believe." Li Hongbo looked at Liu Tao with some solemnity, thought for a while, and said: "This matter is too wide-ranging, I can't give you an answer now, I don't know if Xiaoliu, can you wait for me for a few days?" I guess I asked, if I just wanted to work with you, what would you offer? ”
"There are no conditions, but what I need is an enterprise, a mature factory enterprise, and an enterprise with its own sales channels." Liu Tao said to Li Hongbo very confidently: "Uncle Li, since I call you uncle, then I am not afraid to tell you the truth, I never planned to find someone to cooperate with from the beginning, but when Uncle Li found me, I changed my mind." ”
"I think maybe it's better to find a mature company to work with than to start from scratch, so that I can make money faster, after all, I am a businessman, and businessmen are naturally based on chasing profits." Liu Tao looked at Li Hongbo with a smile, Liu Tao's words made Li Hongbo nod, indeed, Liu Tao's words were very reasonable.
He investigated Boyuan Group in detail before cooperating with Liu Tao, and finally found that it was indeed as Liu Tao said, even if Boyuan Group did not rely on anyone, as long as the factory was up, as long as the products came down from the line, then the profit would only be half a year or a year's work. The reason why Liu Tao wants to bring himself is probably not the car factory in his own hands, nor his own sales channels, but his own management and business model.
"What can you offer me?"
"Uncle Li, I won't say anything superfluous, as long as you look at the annual profits of Boyuan Group, you should know that I have great ambitions, and we now have invested in Boyuan Group as long as I am interested in the industry, Uncle Li, have you ever seen me lose money in an industry?"
"Uncle Li, what I need is a mature enterprise, you don't cooperate with me, there are other companies, as for whether to cooperate, or how to cooperate, Uncle Li needs to decide." Liu Tao looked at Li Hongbo with a smile on his face, played with the lighter given to him by Shiyu, and said slowly: "At the latest next June, I want to see my car in the luxury car market, and I want to have a place, and after two years, I want my car to be all over the world." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and think about it, now I can only say that your idea is very exciting, but this company is not my own, and I also have a lot of interests to consider."
"Okay, I can wait, but by mid-July at the latest, once the factory on my side starts construction, then Uncle Li, all we have left is sales and other cooperation, as for technology, I'm afraid."
"I know this, don't worry, I will do my best to give you the answer." Li Hongbo smiled and said to Liu Tao: "Come, I toast you, and wish us a possible source of cooperation in the future." (To be continued......)
