Chapter 69: Negotiation
A negotiation between Zhang Shusheng and the Lu family, represented by the Lu family's brothers and sisters, began after dinner.
Because of the arrival of the guests, he was usually used to being simple, and he had to invite a few well-known chefs, who did not do anything to frighten the Manchu and Han full banquets, but also made a large table of meat and vegetables for the brothers and sisters who grew up in brocade clothes and food, and a sumptuous family banquet with distinctive characteristics, including game, wild vegetables, Sichuan-Yunnan famous dishes, Western-style barbecue, Italian noodles and pizza, both Eastern and Western styles.
The guests and hosts of the meal were happy, and Lu Yunyan even quietly asked him if he had suddenly changed his surname. Zhang Shusheng just smiled and didn't say anything deeply. He knows the problems of the Chinese best, good face and good manners. Eat a meal by yourself, just a little meat and vegetarian, but it is not eye-catching to entertain people. Especially this kind of family banquet related to personal problems, I would rather waste a little bit than slack off. So he not only arranged a simple welcome gift as never before, but also carefully prepared food and lodging and meeting gifts.
Think about my previous life when I went to my father-in-law's house, because I regarded them as my relatives, I didn't pay too much attention to etiquette. When she was in front of herself, her mother-in-law was smiling, but after she left with her girlfriend, she just returned home with her front foot, and her mother-in-law said that her girlfriend was crying on the phone. I spent a lot of money, and I sincerely served them as if they were my own parents, but it turned out to be bullshit.
Zhang Shusheng later summed up, if you want to marry someone else's daughter, everything else is, and it is enough to show your conditions that are far beyond others. What is treated sincerely, filial piety. What is regarded as a parent, words and deeds are respectful, in fact, it is bullshit.
Now he is not a poor boy who was born as a mechanic at that time, Lu Yunyan must marry him. And it is impossible to put too much energy on the personal affairs of his children, so he can only use thunderous means to let the Lu family swallow all kinds of troubles back into their stomachs. Otherwise, even if Lu Yunyan loves himself again and marries his family disobediently, he will have heart disease.
After dinner, Zhang Shusheng asked people to invite Sun Changqing, the old man of the Sun family, and since 1915, this simple old man has regarded himself as his second son. He has no relatives in this world, and Sun Changqing happens to play the role of an elder.
“…… Shu Sheng, the child, lost his parents since he was a child, and was sent to the coast by relatives to study. Eight years ago, my relatives couldn't find it, so I settled in our pear tree flat, and I am still alone, and my roots are innocent. Over the years, I have watched the people who have come over, with good conduct, dedication to the public and love for the people, and the benefit of the people of Dongchuan as an official. From the current point of view, although the sphere of influence in Dongchuan District is not very large, Shusheng still has a huge Shusheng company that is 100% controlled by himself. ”
Sun Changqing is still holding his dry tobacco pot with his surname, even if he is in a high position now, he has never seen him smoke high-end paper cigarettes, the two masters are famous smoke pots, some people even call him Sun Da Guotou, and call him Sun Erguotou.
"Well, the situation of Shu Sheng, Yun Yan also told us." According to the old man's meaning, this negotiation required the presence of several other secretaries, but in the end he was persuaded by Lu Yunlun, and the brother and sister only brought a few entourages. The two sides introduced each other's situation, and after chatting about some homely things, they began to get to the point, "My second uncle's family came to have children for a long time, but they left early. Yunyan lost her parents when she was a child, and her father has always raised her and regarded her as his own. For the matter of Shu Sheng and Yunyan, the old man also supports it, however, he has three questions. ”
"Brother Polypropylene said bluntly, I am the least good at beating around the bush, but whatever the conditions are or what the requirements are, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk. As for Yunyan, no matter what, I will treat her for the rest of my life. Zhang Shusheng's attitude is also very clear, both parties are not ordinary people, even if they get married, they can't simply drive a few cars of dowry, there must be an exchange of interests. But fortunately, he is extremely open-minded, and he doesn't care about this kind of exchange of interests in the ordinary sense, and when he gets married in the future, he will have to ask for a bride price, not to mention now.
Lu Binglun couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, this Zhang Shusheng is really extraordinary, with the dignity of the head of the first district, he actually went to the workshop to repair the machine in person, not to mention that he is erudite, at least he is a person who is diligent in government affairs and attaches importance to industry. And throughout the night, his conversation was even more extraordinary, with not many words, but occasionally a sentence was to the point, and his comments on the current situation of political affairs were quite unique and to the point.
"Okay, then I'll tell you what my father means." Lu Binglun did not say anything, but took out a document from his briefcase to show that he would never misinterpret the meaning of his father Lu Rongting.
"First of all, my father wants you to promise that you will never abandon Yunyan for the rest of your life. Secondly, the father wants to know your true strength. If you have the strength, he hopes that you can send a considerable number of troops to be stationed at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou as soon as possible. In the end, my father wants you to promise that if you successfully take over Guangxi, you will be able to manage Guangxi with benevolence in the future, and properly settle the land officers within the Gui army. ”
Lu Yunwen saw that his eldest brother had finished speaking, and added: "My father and mother are not worried about your conduct. Yunyan has been smart and clever since she was a child, and we all believe in her vision. It's just that the mother has an additional request. She wants to see you in action. ”
Faced with the conditions proposed by the Lu family, Sun Changqing put down the cigarette stick in his hand and said with a smile: "As an elder of Shusheng and a person from the past, I can understand these requirements. But when it comes to Shu Sheng, I hope that the Lu family will have more tolerance, and now that his career has just started, it is not easy for him. ”
Lu Yunyan looked at Zhang Shusheng who was sitting next to her, for fear that he would say the word 'no' at once, with her own simple thoughts, it is a good thing that the two of them are happily together, why are there so many rules and regulations.
Seeing Lu Yunyan's pitiful and slightly aggrieved appearance, Zhang Shusheng comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I won't wronged you." A manly husband lives a lifetime, isn't it for the sake of his family and country. If I can't do this thing, how can I sweep the world. ”
Zhang Shusheng's simple sentence seems to have made Lu Binglun see some kind of answer, although the conditions given by his father are not very difficult, but after all, he put forward a request, it depends on how this future cousin-in-law copies.
"This kind of thing, you take a look at it first, it's also my first state." Picking up the briefcase, Zhang Shusheng took out a plan from it and handed it to Lu Binglun, who was slightly stunned and took it and looked at it.
"Report on the collation of licensable technologies and business projects. Bicycle production technology, ordinary acid and alkali battery technology, flashlight production technology, soap production technology, new lighter production technology......"
Lu Binglun is also a smart person, and when he saw this statistical report, he knew that what Yun Yan said before was right, Zhang Shusheng did agree to conditionally open some industrial projects to the Lu family. In this report, there are high-tech technologies and low-tech ones such as garment production processes.
Zhang Shusheng: "These are all technologies that can be authorized to be produced in the district in the future. Frankly speaking, except for the 30-horsepower gasoline engine project, which is a technically difficult mechanical and electrical project, the others can be launched immediately, and Shusheng Company can buy all kinds of production equipment needed. Produce in one year, and pay for itself in two to three years. To put it simply, these projects have several characteristics of low entry threshold, low investment, quick results, and no worries about sales. ”
are all small projects, and the premise is that Lu Yunyan holds ninety percent, so he doesn't need to be petty, "These factories, in addition to the authorized shares held by Shusheng Company, other share issues, if the funds are funded by me, then Yunyan accounts for eighty percent, and your Lu family accounts for two percent." If you pay, 51% is enough. ”
He and Lu Yunyan have reached a consensus that the number of these factories will not be very large, and it will not have any impact on Shusheng Company, and it will only squeeze out the opportunity share of other capital that wants to enter Dongchuan District.
"I don't know much about industry, so I left the projects to my father's entourage. It's just that my father has a word first, and he must not let you suffer. For the long-term, he hopes that the two sides will jointly contribute half of the capital, with the promise accounting for 70% of the share, and the Lu family accounting for 30% at most. ”
Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh, Lu Rongting is really an old and cunning person, whether this person is caring for his niece or ensuring the longevity and wealth of the Lu family, what he does is quite courageous. If you change yourself, you may not be so generous. Obviously, the two sides cooperated to build a factory, but in fact, it not only left Lu Yunyan with a long-term guarantee of the industry, but also prevented the descendants of the Lu family from drinking the northwest wind.
However, all these premises are attributed to one: Lu Rongting has almost absolute trust in him and believes that his career can continue to grow.
Otherwise, if Zhang Shusheng was a small warlord leader who was in danger, Lu Rongting would not have bothered to talk to him about these calculations.
"Actually, my father came to Aizawa once at the end of last year."
There are no outsiders here, Lu Binglun broke through the sky with one word. "Therefore, the old man is extremely confident in you, and many of his considerations are for a reason, and they will never be a temporary surname."
I see, then things will be easy to do.
"In this case, the matter of cooperating to build a factory is so decided, and it can be regarded as my first statement." Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, "For Old Man Lu's three conditions, except for the last one I can't guarantee, there is no problem with the other two. Specifically, we will see tomorrow. ”
Lu Yunyan didn't expect the two sides to meet, things went so smoothly, when he was nervous just now, his heart almost jumped out, and when he saw that the two sides were talking happily, he couldn't help but say happily, "Cousin, cousin, Shu Sheng also said that he had prepared a big gift for you, and you can meet tomorrow." ”
"It's nothing." Zhang Shusheng explained with a smile.
"Well, it's not too early, so we won't disturb Shusheng to rest." Lu Binglun got up with great grace and ended this simple family-style meeting.
Back at the residence, Lu Bingwen and Lu Binglun exchanged opinions.
"This Zhang Shusheng is not simple, not to mention the valuable scientific and technological information in his hand, the courage of the whole person is also extraordinary, he is very courageous, and the public and private are extremely distinct. You see, although he readily agreed to invest in the joint venture, he still did not give up the stake in the technology license. Lu Binglun, as the adjutant of the Guangxi military and political axe, can also be regarded as a knowledgeable person, "Especially this gasoline engine production technology, I heard an old classmate say last year that they are doing this thing in Shanghai, and it will not be successful until the end of this year at the earliest." And in his case, it is already included in the scope of authorized production. ”
"What does a gasoline engine do?" Lu Bingwen also looked at the list of authorized technologies, and she didn't know much about many things on it.
"It's needed on cars, it's on ships. The gasoline generator we had at home was bought in the United States. I didn't expect him to be able to produce it himself, if this technology is grasped, not to mention surpassing Shusheng Company in the future, at least it can catch up with the progress in Shanghai. It's just a pity that the domestic market is not too large, and the technology is estimated to be less advanced than that of foreigners. ”
Lu Binglun's view is right, the gasoline engine technology opened up by Zhang Shusheng is indeed only more advanced than the advanced point that Shanghai is developing, and it is much behind that of foreign countries in the same period. With the gradual rise in the quality of steel, the joint efforts of scientists at home and abroad, the manufacturing process has gradually improved, and the manufacturing technology of the internal combustion engine has entered the intermediate technology stage from the initial production stage, which is much worse than the famous Germany and other precision manufacturing, but it is almost the same as the mainstream products listed abroad.
Lu Bingwen: "I don't know what he will show us tomorrow." ”
"If it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he is showing off some gold and silver jewelry that will be used as a dowry, but his words, it is difficult to say, wait for tomorrow."
Lu Yunyan took a cup of freshly brewed tea, knocked on the door and walked into Zhang Shusheng's study, and saw him pushing open the window to look at the night sky, so he couldn't help but get him a piece of clothing to put on, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Didn't think about anything, depending on the weather. Tomorrow is going to be a good day. Zhang Shusheng said with a smile.
"Good weather? Haven't we had good weather lately, look at you, and I don't care about people. I was nervous just now. ”
"What's there to be nervous about, don't worry, I've arranged everything." Zhang Shusheng comforted, then closed the window, as a desk, and drank the tea that Lu Yunyan made for her, thinking that it felt really good to have a woman to spend the day with, even if she was a dignitary in the eyes of ordinary people. "You should be glad that if I were a pawn of a peddler, things wouldn't have gone so well. These things of men and women are often the same. ”
"Look at you, what do you say, as if you have married someone. You said there are no baby kisses. If you were an ordinary person, I would marry you, do you believe it or not? Lu Yunyan walked up to him and let him enjoy his massage while drinking tea, which was what he taught himself, "You, a big carrot, but I really can't bear you." Don't worry, I've thought about it a long time ago, no matter what, I have to marry you. And, I think, it's only possible that you don't want me, it's unlikely that I don't want you, what do you say? Well? ”
As soon as her hand left Zhang Shusheng's shoulder and turned to her psoas muscles, Zhang Shusheng felt it, dodged her claws, and joked, "Don't pinch me, I'll marry, can't I marry?" You, no matter how worried you are, you have to wait to get married. Hahaha......"
