Chapter 130 [Carry Out the Shamelessness to the End]
The ICC exhibition in Munich was held as scheduled.
Sun Yanran, seven and Wu Fang came to the exhibition together. Unexpectedly, these three A-level VIPs of Henkel, whom I admired, showed their difference on the first day.
As a rule, Henkel sends a special car to the airport to greet these VIPs and then send them back to the pre-booked hotel. But after the banquet in the evening, the company did not send a car to pick up. Quite simply, there are so many customers that we can't send cars to every customer - and the company doesn't have that many cars.
These customers are all top executives of large companies who have already arranged their own cars with local car rental companies in Hamburg. So, in the evening, at the banquet center of the Malti Hotel, Mr. Reagan and I greeted the guests at the door.
When I watched the Rolls-Royce and the stretch Lincoln and other luxury cars, squeezed into a dilapidated taxi, I almost had my face popping out.
When I watched Sun Yanran, Seven and Wu Fang, the three VIPs I had appointed, come out of the dilapidated taxi, especially Seven whispered that the taxi driver was taking them around. Miss Smith, who was in charge of the public relations department, looked at me and almost broke down.
"Damn it." I scolded hard. I walked up to greet them with a smile on my face, and then, in full view, pretended not to see Seven slip the handful of change and coins the driver had given him into the outer pocket of his suit in a very ungraceful manner.
"Why did you get here in a taxi!" As we hugged, I scolded hard in Seven's ear.
"Nonsense!" Seven also scolded fiercely: "Do you know how much it costs to rent a luxury car for a day!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and I knew I was negligent. Although Henkel pays for the round-trip air tickets and accommodation in Germany, these small amounts of money that seem to others still have to be paid for by themselves.
Sun Yanran sighed and said: "Chen Yang, I asked, renting a Mercedes-Benz costs a few hundred euros a day, and we don't have a driver, and we can't afford the driver's fee." We are a small company after all. Most of the money you gave me went to the factory, and I even borrowed a lot of money from Seven. ”
I stared at them for a long time, then finally shook my head and led them into the banquet hall.
Seven held Sun Yanran. Walk beside me. The two whispered something and looked around.
"Chen Yang." Wu Fang suddenly smiled behind me: "This seems to be the banquet hall where you were splashed with a glass of red wine by Chen Yuan last time in the newspaper, right?" ”
My heart moved, and I almost forgot about it.
The dinner went on as a success. The combination of Sun Yanran and Seven quickly became the focus of attention, and under my guidance, they got to know representatives of several powerful large companies. The conversation between the two sides was also very pleasant.
Wu Fang talked with Mr. Hine of Henkel for a long time, and the two sides seemed to have reached some agreement, and at the end of the banquet, Hine secretly said to me: "Mr. Chen Yang, it seems that your friend's company is still very capable." ”
I sighed and found Miss Smith, and then explained to her: "Please find a car to pick up Miss Sun Yanran and her group these days." Well, just use my car. ”
In the following days, we traveled to Munich, Germany, to participate in this international exhibition. At the exhibition, because of my title of president of Henkel, I got to know many high-level figures from famous large companies, and at the same time, through my introduction, Sun Yanran and Wu Fang also got to know many big people.
Of course, because after all, my company is still too small, and most of the people in those large companies are just polite and polite, and they deal with them a little bit for the sake of my face, but in fact, in their hearts, they look down on such a small company at all. However, there are also one or two companies that are keenly aware that I seem to have some strange relationship with this company, and I just happened to deliberately reveal a little bit of information that Henkel and FS are cooperating with this Chinese company, and as a result, people from these big companies finally looked at Sun Yanran and them differently.
Overall, there is something to be gained. Representatives of two large companies expressed their interest in cooperating with my company, and exchanged contact information and some information about each other's company. And specifically discussed the cooperation of some projects and so on. There are also one or two companies, although they did not immediately express their intention to cooperate, but they also showed some interest. It is estimated that as long as we keep some contact in the future, we will always be able to open up the situation.
After the exhibition, I arranged for people from Henkel's purchasing department and FS to meet with Sun Yanran. With a few orders and a letter of intent for cooperation, Sun Yanran and his party ended their trip to Europe.
Of course, it wasn't perfect, at least when Miss Smith in the PR department complained to me a little.
"The cooperation between this Chinese company and ours has not brought us a penny so far, but we have already spent more than 164,000 euros on them, sir."
I didn't pay attention to the nagging German woman and told her to go straight out.
I thought about it for a moment, then suddenly picked up the phone and called Regan.
"Mr. Regan, I suddenly have an idea, I need your help...... Well, yes, can you help me calculate what the budget would be if we set up a branch office or liaison office in China or something? Well? …… Hehe, the location, I think it's set up in Shanghai, or ...... Oh, Nanjing......"
I laughed so badly.
Regan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, given that we don't have a lot of business in China right now, it is not necessary to set up a branch in China now...... Hmm......" He thought for a moment, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You, you won't be 'pretending to be a private business' for the sake of your company, right?" ”
I immediately replied to him in a very serious voice: "Mr. Regan, how could I do that?" You know, China is a very large market, and we can't afford to miss out on such an attractive market! Entering the Chinese market can bring us huge profits! ”
Regan smiled bitterly: "But, Henkel is controlled by Yuanda. Since Yuanda itself is a Chinese company, is it necessary for Henkel to set up any branches in China? Henkel's business in China can be done through the Yuanda Group. ”
I said, "Mr. Regan, I must correct your point of view. In a fair and impartial tone, I said righteously: "Henkel is not a lofty private property!" Henkel AG is the common property of the Board of Directors! It's not a big family! Therefore, it is necessary for Henkel to develop the Chinese market for itself, and not just for the sake of Yuanda! ”
Regan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chen, you can go and convince the board of directors - persuade Chen Yuan or Miss Yang." I'll make a budget for you right away. ”
I smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Regan...... Well, your Chinese has been learning well recently, and you can even use idioms like 'fake public and private'. ”
I immediately called Chen Yuan and told him that I was planning to set up a branch office in China.
"Chen Yang!" Chen Yuan's voice on the phone was helpless. "What the hell do you want? You've fooled around enough! You gave your company a 10% annual plan for Henkel's purchasing department, and I didn't care about you. You put that small company with assets of just one million and those large companies with assets of hundreds of millions as VIPs, I don't care about you! Damn, you even put the name of that little company of yours on the latest batch of brochures from Henkel! I still don't care about you!! Now you want me to spend money to set up a branch in China? Depend on! What the fuck do you want a Chinese company to set up a branch in China? You're in the wrong head?! ”
I took a serious attitude and said in a tone of impartiality: "Mr. Chairman, I must correct your erroneous point of view, Henkel is not a Chinese company, at most, the largest controlling shareholder of Henkel is a Chinese company, but Henkel is a German company in essence!" From a legal point of view......"
"Fuck the legal angle!" Chen Yuan roared.
"Okay." I pretended to be helpless and said, "Then, since you don't agree to my request, I have no choice but to go to Miss Yang Wei, I think my dear fiancée will support my little decision." ”
"Chen Yang! You're threatening me! Chen Yuan said in a deep voice: "It's useless for you to cooperate with Yang Wei - you should be on my side!" ”
I said coldly, "I'm only on my side." I'm going to see which side can give me the most benefits. ”
Chen Yuan was silent for ten seconds, and then whispered, "Okay, you go and set up that damn branch!" But this is the last time. Stop messing around in my company! Next time, I'll kick you out of the company with my own hands!! Brat!! ”
I hung up the phone and immediately drew up a plan to set up a branch in China. Then I faxed the plan to Yang Wei.
I didn't call Yang Wei directly, I just wrote one sentence on the plan: Mr. Chen Yuan has agreed.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Yang Wei replied to the plan with a sentence on it: agree.
Then I received a call from Yang Wei, and she only said coldly on the phone: "Chen Yang, stop messing around, this is the last time." ”
I shrugged my shoulders. Then a meeting of the company's middle-level cadres was held.
"Gentlemen, for the strategic development of Henkel, the board of directors and I have decided to start entering China and explore the Chinese market!" I announced with a smile on my face to all the company's executives.
The audience was dumbfounded......
