Lai Xiaohu is not worried about his mother and aunt Zhang Xiuying's driver's license test, although the two of them are a little old and it is a little difficult to take the test, but the two of them have a lot of practice opportunities, and it is not a big difficulty to take a driver's license. If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time, and it will always pass.

Lai Xiaohu's energy is more focused on the company's affairs. Not long after returning to the company, Lai Xiaohu received a call from Zhu Xun, and the matter he told Zhu Xun yesterday had been done. After hanging up Zhu Xun's phone, Lai Xiaohu quickly arrived at the meeting place agreed by the other party, where Lai Xiaohu met another middle-aged man.

"Xiaohu, let me introduce you, this is Niu Xiang, the deputy general manager of Yu Provincial Airlines." After Lai Xiaohu came, Zhu Xun pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said.

"Hello, my name is Lai Xiaohu." Lai Xiaohu glanced at the other party, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand to greet him. It seems that the person Zhu Xun found for him is the cow in front of him.

"Hello Boss. I've heard of Boss Lai's name for a long time, and today I finally met me. Seeing that Lai Xiaohu took the initiative to stretch out his hand, Niu Xiang greeted Lai Xiaohu with a smile.

Niu Xiang, the deputy general manager of Henan Airlines, in addition to Mao Qingping, the chairman of Henan Airlines and the general manager of the company, they are the deputy general managers who have the most power. As the vice president of the company, Niu Xing's ability and power should not be said.

Yesterday, Lai Xiaohu asked Zhu Xun to help him find a person who was powerful within Yu Provincial Airlines and had access to someone who knew Mao Qingping's specific situation, and after agreeing to Lai Xiaohu, Zhu Xun began to use his relationship to screen it. The last thing he valued was this cow.

It should be said that the two have known each other before. It's just that the relationship is not very close. However, Zhu Xun knew some of the situation of Niu Xiang, although what he learned through other friends in Yu Province Airlines showed that this Niu Xiang had a very close relationship with Mao Qingping, and was one of Mao Qingping's core henchmen. But Zhu Xun knew that in fact, this bull was not necessarily loyal to Mao Qingping. Because when Zhu Xun was dealing with this cow in the past, he had heard a complaint from Niu Xiang to Mao Qingping inadvertently. At that time, Niu Xiang was still very dissatisfied and said dirty words to Mao Qingping behind his back.

It can be seen that although this cow is very honest in front of Mao Qingping on the surface. can be regarded as Mao Qingping's henchman. But in fact, he had a lot of complaints about Mao Qingping in his heart. And it was that accidental discovery that made Zhu Xun target the cow-shaped body.

As the vice president of Yu Provincial Airlines, Niu Xiang's own authority can ensure that he has access to most of the internal affairs of Henan Airlines, so that he will know any major changes in the company. And with the bull-like refuge, it will also be of great benefit to Lai Xiaohu to control the company in the future.

Of course, what Niu Xiang values most about Zhu Xun is that he is Mao Qingping's confidant, so that Niu Xiang can know Mao Qingping's movements for a while and see if he is playing any tricks behind his back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to the bathroom, Zhu Xun roughly told Lai Xiaohu some of his background, and Lai Xiaohu nodded after listening. I am more satisfied with the candidate of Niu Shape.

So after Niu Xiang came back, Lai Xiaohu asked him, "You should know about the matter between me and your boss Mao Qingping, right?" ”

"This," the cow hesitated. said, "Yes." Chairman Mao had mentioned this matter to us before. And after learning that the plane was forbidden to take off yesterday, he was still angry when he was in a meeting, and specifically mentioned Boss Lai. ”

"Hehe, I guess I didn't say anything bad about me," Lai Xiaohu smiled easily, not caring at all. On the contrary, the cow on the opposite side is a little embarrassed.

"In that case. Then you should know what it means for me to call you out this time? "Look at the cow. Lai Xiaohu said: "Is it really decided? ”

"It's decided." Niu did not hesitate, and said categorically. He naturally knew what Lai Xiaohu meant, since Lai Xiaohu and his boss Mao Qingping were opposed, then he privately agreed to see Lai Xiaohu, which meant that he betrayed Mao Qingping and turned to Lai Xiaohu.

If it had been last night, he might have hesitated, but since he was here today, it showed that he had already made up his mind. So when answering Lai Xiaohu, there was no regret or hesitation.

And Niu's clean answer also made Lai Xiaohu very appreciative. In any case, at least it shows that Niu is a very determined and decisive person, as long as he is not a reckless person. Such a personality is actually very beneficial to the career.

As for the cow-like betrayal of Mao Qingping, Lai Xiaohu didn't care at all. Although it is slightly unethical to do so. But now in the business world, such things are very common in large companies, everyone is used to it, and there is nothing. And Lai Xiaohu is the beneficiary, so he naturally ignores these disgraceful histories on the other side.

"Since you understand, that's good." After Lai Xiaohu showed a look of approval, he immediately asked curiously: "Can I know if you have any dissatisfaction with Mao Qingping?" ”

Niu Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still said very heartily: "You may feel that I am a selfish person when I say it, but for me, how much I contribute to the company I deserve to be rewarded." I don't ask for more shares than others, but at least the position of general manager that should belong to me was handed over to a relative of his by Mao Qingping, and I am not convinced. ”

"A few years ago, there was a vacancy for the position of general manager of the company, and I competed with a few old brothers. This is normal, everyone depends on their ability, and if they are strong, even if they lose, I admit it. But I didn't expect Mao Qingping to be unable to trust our outsiders, and finally let one of his relatives be the general manager. ”

Lai Xiaohu didn't feel strange at all after hearing this. This kind of thing is very normal, especially in China, where the professional manager system is not developed, and it happens in most private companies. Maybe Niu Xiang is a cronie of Mao Qingping in the company, but even so, for Mao Qingping, there is a difference between close and far. After all, these outsiders are more trustworthy than their relatives.

And Yu Provincial Airlines is a private company, which is completely dominated by Mao Qingping. Most owners of private companies fear that outsiders will encroach on their family's interests if they become too powerful in the company. Therefore, when employing people, they often like to use people from their own family or relatives. These people are generally entrusted with important tasks as long as they are able. Perhaps for them, the power of these relatives rests entirely on them. They are less likely to betray themselves. And even if they use their power for personal gain, it is much better to profit their relatives than to profit outsiders.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that many private companies often have the phenomenon of the relatives of the company boss stealing from high positions, but people with foreign surnames do not have the ability to compete with the relatives of the company boss, and if the ability is too strong, they will be suspicious and suppressed by the boss.

This phenomenon is naturally not good, and the relatives of the company boss generally do not necessarily have any ability, but they are able to steal a high position through their connections. And because of their connections, these people tend to act more arbitrarily. The destructive power is often greater. In particular, those who are really capable are generally not happy to work in such private companies, because they know that they cannot compete with the boss's relatives, so they either do not come in from the beginning. Either after a few years of training in the company, you will find another job.

And in the case of the cow, he is one of the victims of this phenomenon. He believes that he has the ability, and he has worked for the company for so many years, and the credit, hard work and qualifications are all there. Being a general manager is no problem at all. Even if he lost to a few other old brothers in the competition, he admitted it. After all, several other people are not necessarily worse than him. But in the end, he lost to a relation, especially that person who was still very despised by him. When you encounter this situation, you will basically feel unhappy. It's just that some people will choose to be patient, and some people will do something out of the ordinary if they are popular. Now looking at the cow shape belongs to the category of people who are a bit overreacting, otherwise they wouldn't be sitting here.

Moreover, Niu Xiang was already dissatisfied with Mao Qingping, and now the company has suffered two catastrophes in succession, which has caused the company to suffer a lot of losses. As one of the shareholders of the company, Niu Zheng must have been even more dissatisfied with Mao Qingping.

After knowing the reason, Lai Xiaohu was also relieved, and Zhu Xun did not raise any objections, obviously agreeing with the reason of the cow. Besides, this time the matter with Mao Qingping does not involve life and death. The bull is not guilty of deceiving himself in this matter. Even if he let Mao Qingping win? Lai Xiaohu's big deal is to give up the fat of Yu Provincial Airlines. But as a deceiver, the cow must be retaliated. I believe that the cow shape will not put himself out of the way for a Mao Qingping.

After having confidence in my heart. Lai Xiaohu said to Niu Xiang: "What I asked you to do is actually very simple. Help me monitor Mao Qingping, and report any actions he has to Brother Zhu. And Brother Zhu will be screened, and important things will be notified to me. ”

Then, he continued: "Naturally, things will not be done in vain. So when it happens, I'll buy your shares at a much higher price than anyone else, or give you a portion of them. Of course, I'll keep your vice-president position for you. ”

Niu nodded and was satisfied with the reward, but then he said directly, "But I have another request. ”

"You say." Lai Xiaohu waved his hand and let Niu Xiang say it directly.

"I hope to be in the position of general manager of the company." Niu looked at Lai Xiaohu, a little lacking in confidence. He didn't dare to guarantee that Lai Xiaohu was not the same person as Mao Qingping.

"What, do you think I'm the same as Mao Qingping?" Lai Xiaohu said with a smile: "As long as you have the ability, I don't dare to guarantee that you will be 100% in the position of general manager, but I can give you a priority." Of course, whether it works or not depends on your ability. ”

"Don't worry, what I want is a fair chance." Hearing this, Niu Xiang immediately said happily.

This time, Lai Xiaohu and Niu Xing's negotiation was very successful, and with Niu Xing's internal response, Lai Xiaohu didn't have to pay attention to Mao Qingping's affairs all the time.

Back in the company, Lai Xiaohu prepared for a while and went out to meet with the person in charge of Min'an Airlines in the commercial city. In the past few days, Lai Xiaohu has been busy negotiating with the heads of these airlines, and he must negotiate the three airlines as soon as possible, so as to meet the cargo transportation requirements of Lejia Supermarket.

And this Min'an Airlines is one of the five airlines that Lai Xiaohu has more contacts with now. It is a private airline headquartered in Hong Kong. Although the headquarters of Minan Airlines is not in the mainland, its influence in the mainland is not small. As the largest airline in Hong Kong. Minan Airlines has extremely strong capital, and the company's shareholders have many large consortia. And its company management is advanced. After the return of Xiangjiang, relying on strong capital and advanced management. Minan Airlines has grown particularly rapidly in mainland China and is now among the top 10 airlines in China.

All in all, this is an extremely powerful company, and Lai Xiaohu values it in addition to its passenger and freight capacity in the mainland is not weaker than other companies, but also because it has many flights and online stores in Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.

In fact, relying on the strong competitiveness of Roca supermarket, it is easy to occupy the high-end market even outside. And the outside market is so vast except for the mainland, Lai Xiaohu can't give up and won't give up. The choice of Minan Airlines is to prepare for going out of the mainland in the future.

No doubt. Once out of the mainland, Lai Xiaohu's first stop must be Xiangjiang. After all, Xiangjiang and the mainland are the same country, and it is relatively simple to open a branch there. Moreover, Xiangjiang is also a metropolis comparable to Shanghai, and even more so than at present. Such a place where great profits can be generated. Lai Xiaohu will definitely give priority.

The base camp of Min'an Airlines is in Xiangjiang, and once a branch is opened in Xiangjiang in the future, it will undoubtedly be much more convenient to rely on Min'an Airlines to transport vegetables to Xiangjiang. In particular, in addition to Xiangjiang, there are also regions such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. In these areas, the airline also has a number of flights.

Li Shunying, the head of Minan Airlines, is just 40 years old this year. It can be regarded as a successful career. And Lai Xiaohu attaches great importance to Min'an Airlines. The other party also attaches great importance to Lejia supermarket. Because the list of Roca supermarket is large, in fact, no airline will refuse the order of Roca supermarket. The vegetables that Lejia Supermarket ships to all parts of the country every day are a terrifying number, and the shipping cost of these vegetables is a lot of money. If Lai Xiaohu wants to open the bidding, I believe that these airlines will rush to the Lejia supermarket to compete.

But Lai Xiaohu didn't do that, because Lai Xiaohu thought the freight was too expensive, so he planned to build a good relationship with the heads of various airlines in private, and then rely on the relationship to get a low-cost freight, which could save a lot of freight. Lai Xiaohu roughly calculated. Just the airlines that have been negotiated before can allow Lejia Supermarket to save one or two billion freight rates every year under the normal freight rate. From this, you can imagine how much of a gap there is.

If it is tens of millions of funds, Lai Xiaohu will not spend so much trouble. Tens of millions of dollars are spent. But now it is tens of millions, and it is even possible to save a huge amount of expenses of two or three hundred million in total, which is why Xiaohu does not work hard. In fact, even if Lai Xiaohu didn't try it himself, Zhang Ying and the others would force Lai Xiaohu to come back and find a way.

Judging from the current results, the airlines that have been negotiated before can already save a lot of money for Roca Supermarket in the future. And if the rest of these airlines go well, they will naturally allow Roca Supermarket to save more freight in the future. It's just that at present, it's not easy.

These airlines are of course valuing the Roca supermarket list, but they are reluctant to cut prices too much. Although Lai Xiaohu's proposed price also made money, but if they agreed to Lai Xiaohu's low price, it would be difficult for them to face other companies in the future, and other companies may also ask for similar low prices. The previous airlines had their own plans and considerations, so they quickly reached an agreement with Lai Xiaohu. And the remaining companies have to stick to the principles a lot.

Min'an Airlines is currently the company that Lai Xiaohu is most sure of lowering prices among these airlines, because he still has a big move that is useless, that is, follow-up cooperation. Lai Xiaohu did not mention to the other party the expansion of Lejia Supermarket in Xiangjiang, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places. And this hole card is specially kept by Lai Xiaohu to reduce the price at a critical moment.

At the same time, if Min'an Airlines can be significantly reduced, Lai Xiaohu can also take the opportunity to put pressure on several other companies. After getting Min'an Airlines, Lai Xiaohu's demand for several other airlines will decline, and Lai Xiaohu will only choose two of the remaining four companies, even if Lai Xiaohu lowers the price, but there is still money, and no one wants to be eliminated. And these companies are all at the same level, since Renmin Airlines has cut prices, why don't they reduce prices, if they don't reduce prices, they look down on Lejia Supermarket and look down on him Lai Xiaohu.

"Boss Lai," "Mr. Li." The two greeted each other and sat down opposite each other at a conference room table.

The two of them did not go directly to the topic, but chatted like old friends, "By the way, has Mr. Li ever thought about returning to the Xiangjiang headquarters to work?" Lai Xiaohu knew that Li Shunying was from Xiangjiang, so he asked.

"Yes, why don't you want to." Li Shunying didn't hide her thoughts, "I'm from Xiangjiang, and to be honest, I'm still a little unaccustomed to living in the north." It's just that the headquarters is full of talents, and it's difficult to transfer back at the same level. And I will definitely not accept a demotion. So I can only do it here slowly, and when I get older, and the fame and fortune are faded, I will be transferred back to any position and wait for retirement. (To be continued......)
