Chapter 479: Punishing Red

March 15, is also the 3.15 International Consumer Rights Day, the choice of this day is naturally ulterior motives, after some careful preparations, Baida and Yishan held a press conference in Beijing, officially announced that the drinking mineral water standards since 87 years have not kept up with the development of the times, far behind the international average, will do their best to work with the relevant administrative departments of the state to develop a new drinking water standard suitable for the current development status of China, and strive to let the people drink assured water, clean water, healthy water.

At the press conference, there were media reporters who asked spicy questions, saying that Baida was not giving up the original mineral water standard for its upcoming new products, and Huang Ji, vice president of Baida Company, replied that I did not shy away from saying that Baida was indeed planning a new product layout, but this has nothing to do with whether to abandon the old standard, we have a large number of jΓΉ and expert appraisals that can prove that the mineral water industry is full of all kinds of shady scenes that damage the interests of consumers, shoddy, and fraudulent phenomena are very strict, in line with the attitude of being responsible for consumers. I hope that all conscientious companies can stand up and support the development of new standards, thank you.

Zhong Congjiang has been sitting beside Huang Ji, facing the long guns and short cannons in the field, he is not impatient and impatient, steady as a rock, and quickly attracted the attention of reporters, when Huang Ji finished answering this question, someone immediately stood up and said, "I want to ask this," he looked down at the business card in his hand, "This General Manager Zhong of Yishan Drinking Water Company, with all due respect, before today, I am afraid that no one knows the name of your company, and of course it is even more impossible to know the strength of your company, How do you think you can confidently face the anger and obstacles of more than 1,000 mineral water factories to push for the development of a new national standard? ”

Although today's press conference was selected and screened in advance, there will still be close media of mineral water merchants who will mix in and try to make trouble and fight back, as soon as this problem came out, mocking laughter immediately sounded in some places in the audience, Zhong Congjiang did not think it was angry, and waited for the laughter to stop. Cai smiled slightly: "This friend from the media asked very well, why does Yishan have such confidence to defy the world's condemnation?" Because behind us stand 1.3 billion consumers! 12 to 1.3 billion, as long as you are friends who have gone to elementary school, you must know the difference between the two, so we are confident and fearless! ”

The reporter was speechless, sat down stupidly, and immediately someone stood up and asked: "General Manager Zhong, I appreciate the courage in your words just now, but I think." Courage can't replace strength, just like me, who speaks more than my little nephew, but he was left behind when he ran a hundred meters. After another burst of laughter, he continued: "For example, Baida, which has been developing for 14 years, is already the leader of the first group in the industry, but Yishan is probably still a toddler, and the two of you cooperate." One step is fast, the other step is slow, how to harmonize? ”

Zhong Congjiang didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "I always thought so." To do business, the most important thing is 'three sincerity': sincerity, honesty and sincerity, as long as the product is made sincerely, and the integrity is publicized. Listen sincerely, whether it's four years or fourteen years. It doesn't matter if it's still 40 years or 400 years, the important thing is whether your products can impress the people, whether your quality can make the people trust, and whether your reputation can support the development of your company, so I think your worries are unnecessary. ”

This man was defeated again, but he gave a thumbs up before sitting down, and he was convinced of defeat even if he thought about it. After all, everyone has received red envelopes, and they have to be praised, and they can't be lost, otherwise who will be willing to give money next time?

After the press conference, with a large number of follow-up reports, coupled with the crazy counterattack of the mineral water factories, Yishan Drinking Water Co., Ltd. has become an enterprise with great brand recognition like Baida in one fell swoop, and at this time, Yishan has not even had a product on the market.

Sometimes I can't help but sigh that hugging my thighs is really a shortcut to the south!

In the Wenliang active deployment of Yishan pure water on the eve of the preparation of the listing, Ningxi also reached a cooperation intention with Lingyang City, by Hengsha Mining to invest 1 billion, accounting for 49% of the newly established Xishatou Port Company, Lingyang Municipal Government to invest 700 million, and to port, land, policy, tax and other resources into a total of 51% of the shares, the project is expected to be gradually completed in three years and three phases. On this morning, there were five people sitting in the conference room of Hengsha headquarters, all of whom were members of the board of directors, including two deputy general managers, an assistant to the general manager, a director of the strategic planning department, and an employee representative director, while Ning Xi and Lei De, the two chairmen of the first and second chairmen, had not yet appeared, and everyone sat apart, maintaining a depressing silence with each other, and occasionally made eye contact, but no one spoke. They are all quietly waiting for the storm that may come next.

Red's opposition to this cooperation with Lingyang is already a secret in the company, and the people below may not know much, but as a director of the company, he has received the news in advance. Therefore, it is still unknown whether this meeting can be safely resolved, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that if Red can't persuade Ning Xi before the meeting starts, or if Ning Xi suppresses Red, a conflict will inevitably break out, and if it is forced to vote against each other, the prestige of the loser will be a blow to YanzhΓ²ng.

In the general manager's office, Zhuo Min was guarding the door, and a conversation full of gunpowder was unfolding inside the door.

"Xiaoxi, listen to me, Hengsha is in its infancy, how much money is used? Is it really necessary to invest a billion in a terminal that will not see any income in the next five years? Red has been talking to Ning Xi for an hour, but there has been no progress, and the title has changed from Mr. Ning to a homely Xiaoxi, trying to play a dozen emotional cards, but unfortunately Ning Xi's temper is too unknown to him, businesslike, rational first, almost useless.

"Mr. Lei, have you read Walras's "Essentials of Pure Economics"?" Ning Xi asked lightly.

Red was suffocated, he was smart and business-minded, but when it came to those things in the classroom, his eyes were black, and he knew that Ning Xi was deliberately humiliating him, but he still smiled and said: "No, I'm not so blessed to have attended Wharton School......"

"If not, go back and read it. Now is not the era when you can make a fortune by reselling securities and train wagons by virtue of your relationship, if you want to be a company, you must learn management, and if you want to do business, you must study economics. ”

Red's smile froze on his face, and he said, "Xiaoxi, I also mean well." It's not about the right thing, it's not about the person, why do you have to ...... like that" Vice President Lei, please call me Mr. Ning, or chairman, I don't want to hear other names in the company!" Ning Xi interrupted Red's words and said, "Regarding the matter of the crude oil terminal, I have made a decision and reported to the board of directors, I hope you can accept it." If that's really unacceptable, it's best to reserve your opinion. ”

Red is nicknamed Fake Mercy, how to make trouble behind his back, but the face has always been done to the extreme. This is not annoying, and said: "Okay, Mr. Ning doesn't talk about personal friendship, then let's only talk about business." Although I don't know what kind of friendship you have with Lingyang's Zuo Jing, and I don't know why you want to take a billion to help his future, I made it clear. It is not feasible to take a stake in a crude oil terminal! As the representative of the Lei family in Hengsha, I am responsible for the company, and even more importantly, for the alliance of the two Ninglei families, and I can't watch you push the company into a dangerous situation step by step. ”

"Dangerous?"

"Yes, taking out one billion at once will bring extremely strict cash pressure to Hengsha, and once the capital chain is broken, it will greatly delay the pace of mergers and acquisitions of Hengsha, which is extremely unfavorable in the long run."

"A billion is not taken out all at once, and there are a lot of bank loans...... In addition, Mr. Lei, you don't care about finance, you don't know about Hengsha's funds, we lack everything, the most important thing is cash! ”

Red shook his head and said, "It's still not good, the risk is too great, be cautious!" ”

The two of them didn't talk speculatively, and it would be in vain to talk about it any longer, Ning Xi stood up and said, "Okay, I know your opinion, then let's do it first, it's not too early, let's go to the meeting." After speaking, he walked directly out of the door, and Red stood up and shouted at her back: "Mr. Ning, do you think the board of directors will pass your resolution today?" ”

Ning Xi's footsteps did not stop at all, as if he had not heard this sentence, and went straight out, Red's eyes were full of unspeakable anger, and he smiled coldly, and said: "Okay, don't blame me for being unjust, I will let you taste the taste of prestige today!" ”

Time ticked by, half an hour later than the original time of the meeting, Ning Lei and the two had not yet been seen, and the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more solemn. After another ten minutes, the door was finally pushed open, and Ning Xi, who was dressed in a black trench coat, strode in, followed by Red not far behind her, both of them looked as usual, they couldn't see any changes, and they seemed to be confident about today's vote.

Next, the general assistant introduced the specific situation, Ning Xi did not drag the mud and water, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and said: "I think everyone has also heard that Mr. Lei has different opinions on this matter, since this is the case, it is not a waste of time, let's raise our hands to vote, please raise your hand if you agree to a joint venture with Lingyang City." ”

She was the first to raise her hand, followed by the general assistant, this person was Ning Xi's confidant, raising her hand as Red expected, followed by a vice president, and then fell into a short pause. There was a little smile in Red's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Ning Xi's face, of course he would not be stupid enough to come to Ning Xi for a showdown without making any preparations, among the rest of the people, the deputy is always the person of the Lei family, the minister of the strategic planning department has been very close to him recently, and he calls himself a brother in private, eating, drinking and having fun, and he also patted his chest last night and promised to support himself today. As for the rest of the employee representatives, it was even simpler, just to allow his family of three to have a Beijing household registration, plus a house in the third ring road, and he almost knelt down and kowtowed to himself. With these three people, plus their own votes, today's situation, Ning Xi is doomed!

Just as Red was triumphant, thinking about how to embarrass Ning Xi, the minister of the Strategic Planning Department suddenly raised his hand, because it was completely unexpected, Red Leng was sure that what he saw was not an illusion for a while, his face suddenly turned black and blue, and he glared at him viciously, but he saw that the minister was looking at him without shying away from it, his eyes were clear and translucent, where was there a little fear or guilt?

Red was shocked violently, and instantly thought that this person was originally arranged by Ning Xi!

At this time, Ning Xi got four votes, and he had already won the micro-operation, and Red was also a tiger and wolf, he could afford to put it down, and if he lost, he would lose, at least he still had three votes, which was not too embarrassing. But God was destined to play a cruel joke on him, and the employee representative also raised his hand with the minister, and the vice president who belonged to the Lei family hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand to express his support.

Six to one!

That is to say, except for Red's vote, everyone else stood on Ning Xi's side, but Ning Xi, who won an overwhelming victory, did not see joy, his eyes were lowered, as if he didn't care about the result at all, and said: "Mr. Lei, think about it again, is it against it, or is it reserved?" ”

Red felt that his face had stiffened, and he was silent for a while, and then slowly raised his hand and said, "I support Ning's total investment in crude oil terminals!" (To be continued......)
