9. Between thickness and thickness (above)
The next day, Ye'er didn't come to work.
Zhu Tong understood the general reason, Huang Hai must have led people to be busy in that town last night, and Ye'er also went with him to help the alliance.
In the current legal environment, it is impossible for the Yellow Sea to conduct a large-scale house-to-house search of a town with more than 100,000 inhabitants based on mere guesswork; Even with the cooperation of the local police, there will be no results in the Yellow Sea for two to three days.
In fact, Zhu Tong very much hopes to see the news of Tian Xuyang's death, in that case, the biggest unstable factor within the Xuyang Group will be eliminated, and everyone will be clean.
Of course, he knew that Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't kill Tian Gongzi, and Jiang Xiaoyu wanted money. Although there are contradictions between them, if they join forces to deal with themselves, it is also a very troublesome matter.
Hey! Zhu Tong sat in the office and waited for President Fan to sign the loan agreement, and suddenly thought that the relationship between himself and Jiang Xiaoyu and Tian Xuyang was very delicate, and they were secretly thinking of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, wanting to wait for the other two to get the benefit of the fisherman when the fish died and the net was broken.
The difference is that for Fuhua Shipbuilding, Jiang Xiaoyu and Tian Xuyang can be regarded as ill-intentioned people, if they develop according to Wang Xiangjiao's meaning, they are likely to become saboteurs, and they are actually builders.
It's hard, it's never easier to destroy than to build. Fortunately, this is Shanghai, and Jiang Xiaoyu's things can't see the light, so he shouldn't dare to go too far, right?
Tian Xuyang...... It seems that he had the easiest time before he was kidnapped.
Therefore, Zhu Tong didn't take any action, he decided to leave Jiang Xiaoyu for a day, and it was not so simple to reach some kind of tacit understanding between them.
President Fan came, and the loan agreement was signed quickly, and they didn't mention any conditions, but just invited Zhu Tong to lunch.
Zhu Tong is very embarrassed, this favor will be repaid sooner or later, I just hope he doesn't want too much.
Sending President Fan away, Zhu Tong called Ye'er. Sure enough, Ye Er and Huang Hai investigated in that town, saying that they were taking three days off for themselves and Cheng Zhenjiang.
Cheng Zhenjiang is also there? Zhu Tong didn't pay attention to this. Before the negotiation with the Jingchi consortium, he was the most idle in the preparatory department, he went to work on time every day, and it was difficult to say when he would get off work, and he was more comfortable than Song Zhongcheng. In this way, there are also military personnel participating in the investigation?
At ten o'clock, Xiao Xiao walked in and said that Mr. Smith had arrived and was waiting in the reception room.
"He arrived on time." Zhu Tong stood up and stretched his waist and walked to the reception room.
In recent times, Smith has asked for talks to take place almost every day; A few days ago, he had been revolving around Matsui Pingzhi, and Zhu Tong only asked Xiao Xiao to meet him this morning.
Smith was dressed formally, and his secretary, Celea, was dressed formally.
Zhu Tong is still dressed in casual clothes, but fortunately, Xiao Xiao is dressed more appropriately as his secretary.
"Mr. Smith, are you ready?" The two shook hands and walked to both sides of the conference table, and Zhu Tong began to make moves before he sat down.
"Yes, we're ready. In order for this cooperation to go smoothly, we have made the greatest concessions, and this document represents our sincerity. β
Smith was unhurried, neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed really ready.
Xiao Xiao took the document handed by Sireya and handed it to Zhu Tong; At the same time, the documents prepared by lawyer Zhang Xuedan of the preparatory department were handed over.
Today's negotiation should be a framework document, and any negotiation must start with the framework, just like building a house. According to the agreement, Zhu Tong also prepared a framework document, and the first step in the negotiation was for the two sides to exchange documents, and then to roughly find out the common ground and the points of difference for separate negotiations.
"That's not good." Zhu Tong flipped through a few pages and closed the folder; "Mr. Smith, the talks are scheduled to begin tomorrow, and your documents are very insincere."
The document prepared by Smith was fifty pages long and divided into two parts, both Chinese and English; The Preparatory Office has only about ten pages to prepare. The Preparatory Office has limited staff, and if the framework document is so cumbersome, it is impossible for them to see what tricks are in it in one day.
"No, our documents are thicker, yours are too thin, and it is you who are not sincere." Smith protested with his hands raised.
"Does the draft framework need to be so detailed? You're wasting your time. I'm sorry, I don't have that much time to talk to you about something like this. Most of the issues are not related to the framework, and the details should be negotiated on the basis of consensus. So, if you don't revise this one, start with ours. Zhu Tong continued to exert pressure, regardless of whether Smith's face was ugly or not.
"You didn't even look at ......."
"Do you need to see it? Mr. Smith really thinks that the two of us can be sure of all the things about Fuhua Shipbuilding? Don't forget, there's also the Iike Foundation. At least the first three of these are the contents of the tripartite talks. β
"Our view is that there should be a tacit understanding between us on these issues before the trilateral talks."
Zhu Tong threw their documents back, stood up and said, "Since it is a tacit understanding, it should not be implemented in words, and it is disrespectful to our partners to do so." I don't want the foundation of Howard Shipbuilding to be full of cracks from the start. β
"However, this is a routine practice, and we will also seek the opinions of the Ichi Foundation on these issues." Smith still has to insist.
Zhu Tong's heart sank and said, "So, Mr. Smith thinks that you are the leader of Fuhua Shipbuilding?" β
"According to the usual practice, before the formal signing, whether it is the Xuyang Group, the Ichi Foundation or we are equal, and it is normal for partners to exchange opinions." Smith spread his hands out, looking innocent.
"Very well, then we have nothing more to talk about. You please. Zhu Tong waved his hand to send off the guests.
"Why? We're sincere. Smith blinked, acting innocent.
"I'm not going to sit at this table with you again until I understand why." Zhu Tong calmed down and stretched out his hand; "I'm sorry, but these questions should be within the purview of Miss Sirea and Miss Siew. It's not appropriate for us to talk about that. Mr. Smith is recovering well, and I suggest you take a vacation in the near future. Perhaps, the climate around 100 kilometers around Shanghai is more suitable for you. β
The first meeting lasted only ten minutes and was over, and Zhu Tong and Smith exchanged documents before getting up to see off the guests.
At half past ten, it was still this conference room, and Zhu Tong convened a plenary meeting of the Preparatory Office to discuss everyone's views on the meeting.
The problem is very simple, Smith's first move is to weaken the position of the preparatory department, and even have the implication of a threat from the United Ichi Consortium.
What is certain is that Yukimi Iike is unlikely to support Smith, the question is: Smith has shown such a tough attitude, what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?
The Fuhua Shipbuilding Preparatory Office took only one day off before engaging in a new round of intense work, with various groups working around Smith and the draft he proposed.
But you need money to do everything, Ye Er is not here, and the loan promised by President Fan has not yet arrived. Zhu Tong thought, do you want to add a professional cashier?
Fortunately, Song Qiaoqing is the only one in the preparatory office who cares about that salary, and the others are all wealthy guys. Song Qiaoqing is at the front desk, and she has no time or qualifications to participate in the work meeting; No one mentioned the money.
Zhu Tong and President Fan had dinner together, because it was a working day, the lunch time should not be too long, and the venue was set at the seafood restaurant in the Jin Mao Building. Zhu Tong took Xiao Xiao with him, and President Fan also brought a beautiful female secretary.
After eating, Xiao Xiao went to handle the loan procedures with President Fan's secretary, and Zhu Tong went back to the preparatory office alone.
Walking to the front desk, Zhu Tong saw Song Qiaoqing bowing her head and nibbling on bread, a very cheap kind of hard bread, with only a glass of white water at hand. She saw Zhu Tong stand up immediately, and shouted "Hello boss" in a cramped manner, with a little breadcrumb on her lips.
Zhu Tong smiled and walked to his office, and suddenly turned around and said, "Miss Song, come in with me." β
Walking into the office, Zhu Tong pointed to the sofa and motioned for Song Qiaoqing to sit down, sat behind the executive desk, and said with a smile: "There are still ten minutes before the work time, let's talk casually." How's it going, are you still comfortable working here? β
Song Qiaoqing said "um", put her hands on her knees, didn't dare to raise her head, and her eyes were staring at her toes. After all, it was in that situation that she and the young boss met.
Zhu Tong wanted to remind her to pay attention, Song Qiaoqing is delicate and slender, and it is said that Song Zhongqian has been pestering her recently. Although the playboy is down, the color center has not relented.
"Boss, someone invited me to dinner last night." Song Qiaoqing finally mustered up the courage and looked up at Zhu Tong and said. "It's not Assistant Song, he's a doctor, and he works downstairs from us."
"Dr. Deep man?" Zhu Tong asked. That's also an internet celebrity, Xiao Xiao's ex-boyfriend, and now Smith works there.
Song Qiaoqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, he said he likes me; He also said that if I could tell my boss about it, I would be able to make a lot of money. β
Smith actually knocked down such an inconspicuous Song Qiaoqing, she didn't have access to much information in the preparation department, but anyone who came to visit had to pass through her first; Zhu Tong's itinerary can't hide from her. "Dr. Deep Man" may be just a temptation, as long as Song Qiaoqing swallows the first bait, she will probably be forced to do more things next, for example, to put gadgets like *** in Zhu Tong's office?
"Tell me the truth, do you need money?" Zhu Tong pondered for a moment and asked.
"Yes, I have to pay the rent, I have to pay the loan. It takes a lot of money. Song Qiaoqing replied honestly.
"What loan?"
"My family is in the mountains, so I can't afford to go to university. I relied on student loans for my tuition, and I worked part-time to ...... Earn living expenses. Song Qiaoqing's head lowered again, and this time, it was going to be buried in her chest.
"How much do you owe?"
"30,000 yuan, my boyfriend has gone to the west to teach, and his loan has to be repaid." Song Qiaoqing raised her head again; "Boss, I'm not going to do anything like that. You're a nice guy, and if I hadn't met you, I might have gone the other way. I cherish this opportunity, the salary here is high, and I can pay off the loan after two years of hard work. At that point, it's time for him to come back and may be assigned to our county middle school, and I'll go back with him. β
What a fool again! Volunteer teaching can defer the payment of loans, and if the man puts such a burden on a weak girl for his own future, this relationship is very doubtful.
Song Qiaoqing's salary is the lowest in the preparatory department, with a monthly salary of less than 3,000, and saving 30,000 yuan in two years means that she only has more than 1,000 living expenses per month.
Bento boxes near the Jin Mao Tower cost at least 10 yuan each, and 1,500 yuan a month for a girl from another place in Shanghai means that she has to share a room with others in a narrow cubicle in the middle of nowhere, and she has to get up before dawn every morning, and every penny has to be carefully calculated.
She simply didn't have the money to go to cram school, or to buy fashionable cosmetics and expensive designer professional wear.
