Xu Qianqian's voice was calm, but Huang Ligong could hear that there was a faint anger under her calmness. She is still in Shanghai, saying that her second uncle will stay in China for a long time, and then go back to India after handling various affairs, and will probably rarely return to China in the future, so she will stay in Shanghai until Xu Chaoyu leaves. During this time, the two of them talked on the phone a lot, sometimes it was just a simple "um", or a short silence, and Huang Ligong could roughly guess what her mood was.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qianqian did not speak.
"What's the situation over there, Zhang Wenfeng?" Huang Ligong had no choice but to start guessing.
"No, he withdrew the complaint." Xu Qianqian's voice on the other end of the phone was a little trance-like.
Huang Ligong put his mind at ease. A few days ago, he received a court summons, and Zhang Wenfeng filed a lawsuit demanding that Huang Ligong buy back his shares in Ruili Technology. The subject matter of the lawsuit is the second tranche of 5 million yuan that he personally invested, excluding the initial irrevocable founding investment. Huang Ligong signed an agreement with him, and the investment money was converted into holding shares of the company, but at the same time, he was obliged to repurchase, that is, if certain conditions were met, such as failing to meet the agreed performance requirements within the agreed period, Zhang Wenfeng had the right to require Huang Ligong to repurchase at an annualized rate of 10%.
The current situation is naturally not very qualified, and it is not easy for Zhang Wenfeng to win the lawsuit. However, at this time, the negative news that broke out about the founder's anti-purpose will have a great impact on Huang Ligong and Ruili Technology. After Xu Qianqian learned the reason-Huang Ligong naturally wouldn't tell her all the reason-she also felt that Zhang Wenfeng was too nonsense, so she went to find Zhang Wenfeng in person. After she came back, she told Huang Ligong that Zhang Wenfeng withdrew the lawsuit. Nothing more was said. Huang Ligong could fully imagine that what Zhang Wenfeng said to her would not be too good. Whatever, as long as things are settled. At this time, Xu Qianqian was in a bad mood, and he was worried that Zhang Wenfeng would regret it again.
"What the hell is going on? You don't seem to be very happy. ”
"You're still like that. A lot of things are made too simple and disrespectful ......"
"What's the matter?"
"I'll talk about it later." Xu Qianqian didn't want to talk about it, "The second uncle will stay for another week, take care of the family's affairs and then go to India." He said he would rarely return to China in the future. I want to spend more time with him. ”
She hung up. Huang Ligong held the phone, and his mind quickly turned, what the hell is going on? It's certainly not her own business. Something that is related to her, but not directly related...... It's not Zhang Wenfeng...... Li Yi!
That's right, it's Li Yi. Li Yi has moved the entire team to Ruili Technology, and now Sail Science and Technology must know. He's not afraid, but, perhaps, he did make things too simple. Huang Ligong walked to the window and opened it. He needed fresh air to think about it from the beginning.
Huang Ligong decided to visit Xu Shaoyang.
It was an easy decision, and it was a lonely one.
With this thought flashing through him, he clenched his fists and swung them vigorously in the air. No matter from which point of view, Xu Shaoyang can't be allowed to become an enemy. He originally despised Xu Shaoyang too much, Xu Shaoyang dismissed Li Yi's team and gave him an opportunity to take advantage of; There is no prediction and no return to his robbery, no matter how you look at it, it is stupid. But now he realizes that he is making a dangerous mistake. A young man, who was airborne to take over, was actually quiet and calm; He suddenly launched a big move, and the old ministers of his uncle's generation actually cooperated with the execution; In any case, this is by no means a stupid person. Judging from the sporadic information that can be obtained, the Searke Industry under Xu Shaoyang's leadership is very different from the Xu Tingbao period, but it is not necessarily worse, but it is possible to become stronger.
He took out his mobile phone and had to find someone to discuss, this move may not be significant, but after all, it will affect the whole body, and he may have an unexpected negligence for a while. Unlocking the screen and clicking on the phone interface, he was stunned. Who to talk to?
Xu Qianqian? It will only add to the chaos. Do you want to discuss with her in a grand manner how to deal with her brother and her business?!
Liu Fei? It's only going to get messier. It's good if she doesn't provoke her, but don't provoke her.
Liu Ruiyang? He has ideas, alas, ideas of another civilized and correct world. He'll just tell you if it's okay or not, and the truth is still very profound, but he won't give you a seemingly incorrect tactic to fill in the gaps.
He pulled the address book on his mobile phone, and Zhang Wenfeng's appearance flashed in front of him. He would have been the best candidate, but ...... Don't think about it now.
Wang Ziqiang? This name popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, the big guy's love should be left for a more important moment. Wang Ziqiang finally looked at him with admiration, and it was better to only report good news and not bad news.
The address book is drawn to the bottom. Huang Ligong unwillingly slashed up twice, and the address book bounced twice, and stubbornly stayed there. Loner. He inexplicably remembered Xu Chaoyu's appearance when he said these words. He shook his head, as if he was trying to get Xu Chaoyu and these words out of his mind. Those big guys, when you look closer, are big bastards. This is what he said to Xu Qianqian. That night was like an allegory.
At this moment, he was a little envious of Liu Ruiyang. Liu Ruiyang still has a Li Jia. Should I also bring a little brother?
Huang Ligong called Xu Shaoyang directly. He reported directly to the door, expressed his intentions, and wanted to visit.
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, and Xu Shaoyang said, "The day after tomorrow, at 1 p.m." ”
"Okay." Huang Ligong said. Xu Shaoyang hung up the phone.
Sure enough, he is a powerful character, and he decided quickly and did not drag his feet. Huang Ligong thought to himself while holding the phone.
At half past 12, Huang Ligong was in a taxi when he received a phone call, and Secretary Xu Shaoyang asked him if he was on time for the appointment.
When Huang Ligong entered Xu Shaoyang's office, it was 1:03.
"You may be seated." Xu Shaoyang pointed to the sofa. Tea and snacks are already on the coffee table. He himself sat down and waited for Huang Ligong to speak.
Huang Ligong looked around the office and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu's office is very special, and it is different from the office I have been to. ”
"Oh?"
"I have never seen such a large enterprise and such a humble president's office."
"Humility? This is the first time I've heard this. ”
"The office of a Chinese boss lest others not know that they have a deep background. In Mr. Xu's office, there are inconspicuous things in conspicuous places, and only after a closer look can you know that they are from abroad. ”
"Mr. Huang, young people have seen less."
Huang Ligong smiled and said, "My dad went to New York to play, and the first stop was to go to Lady Liberty." No way, seeing that you are Chinese, will take you to the most popular places. A very large bronze statue, holding a torch, he was very excited, and when he got to the bronze statue, he looked at it, made i
F
a
ce。 My dad was stunned, what, isn't this a symbol of the United States, how did the French send it?! When have you ever seen us use the national rite as a symbol of ourselves? ”
Xu Shaoyang smiled politely, frowning in his heart, Xu Tingbao also likes to talk like this. Whenever you want to say something, you always have to go around and around, quote scriptures, history, culture, traditions, or just start with a meaningful little story. However, looking back on that little story, it probably looks like it is from popular books, it used to be "Reader's Digest", and now it is an official account. The name is said to be the point to stop, and the heart understands. Probably they all like to let people feel their heaviness.
"I was also very strange, so I went to take a good look at the history of the American Revolution." Huang Ligong felt Xu Shaoyang's negligence and quickly cut to the chase. "It turned out that the United States became independent from Britain, and France was a great help. From the very beginning, France sent troops to help, as well as financial and weapon support, without France, the United States might not be able to become independent. It is no wonder that after the victory, France sent such a large Statue of Liberty, which was a joint victory for France and the United States. ”
Huang Ligong took a sip of tea and continued, "Later, France was in trouble and fought with Britain, and they asked the United States for help. The United States, however, stood by and watched. It's very immoral! ”
"Huang always wants to tell me that there are only interests between countries?"
"That's what I thought at first. It's not surprising, everyone is doing it for their own benefit. But, strangely, France and the United States have always had good relations since then, and do not seem to be affected at all, if you say national interests, but their usual contacts and trade are friendly and frequent. ”
Finally cut to the theme, Xu Shaoyang also picked up the black tea and took a sip. However, he admits that the theme is a bit interesting and in line with their current situation. "What does Huang always think?"
"I think the average person's understanding of interests is too narrow. Staring at money and face, staring at the gains and losses of one time and one place, and shouting that interests come first, this is short-sighted. ”
"Then what do you think are the longer-term benefits of Mr. Huang?"
"Britain was the most powerful country in the world at the time. France is a rising power, and it is a shorter and longer power than Britain. The United States was a wild land, but it was able to successfully gain independence from the British. If France cannot stop the British attack, how can it have the confidence and ambition to be the hegemon? The United States has just been established and its strength is limited, and its accession will not play a decisive role, but if it is dragged down because of this, Britain will take the opportunity to recover the Americas, and it will be more than worth the loss. On the contrary, it is the most valuable thing for France to let the United States survive, or even rise, and become a major problem for Britain, and a barrier and buffer on the Atlantic. ”
Xu Shaoyang glanced at Huang Ligong with sharp eyes, this person is not simple. He quickly adjusted his evaluation of Huang Ligong in his mind and reassessed the situation.
"Mr. Xu, we won't hide it. Li Yi's team was invited over, but it happened suddenly, not because I had been planning for a long time, so I didn't inform in advance. After the foreshadowing was done, seeing that Xu Shaoyang accepted his extraneous meaning, and did not resist and fight back, Huang Ligong bluntly picked out, "I came today, first, to apologize to you, and second, from an objective standpoint, the benefits of this matter far outweigh the disadvantages for Sail Science and Technology." ”
Xu Shaoyang smiled.
"Modern industrial competition is not the same as it used to be. Today's manufacturing industry is a large network composed of supply chains, no longer a cold war, no camps, no clear alliances. Any enterprise of sufficient size, any enterprise with ambition and desire to be stronger, should establish a buffer belt, a buffer belt in the network of supply chains! It is necessary to form a strong containment of core competitors and a strong barrier to potential challengers. The same is true for Sail Science and Industry, we are all Chinese enterprises, and you don't understand the challenges faced by China's manufacturing industry, if Kunpeng makes a breakthrough in the reducer, it will be the best buffer belt and barrier for Sail Science and Industry. ”
The more Huang Ligong spoke, the more impassioned he became, and he was very instructive.
Xu Shaoyang still smiled, "So I should be grateful?" ”
"No, I just hope that Mr. Xu will see the strength and value of Kunpeng."
"Sounds like Huang always wants me to fight a proxy war?"
Huang Ligong laughed, "Does Mr. Xu look like I am an agent?" ”
Xu Shaoyang quickly made a judgment. He restrained his smile, picked up the teacup, and said slowly, "Mr. Huang, there are two facts that I have to remind you. First, at that time in the United States, Jefferson advocated aid to France, and Hamilton was adamantly opposed. Hamilton prevailed, and the United States pursued isolationism. But you know, as a result of history, Jefferson is still remembered, still influencing and inspiring America, and Hamilton is almost forgotten. Second, France's buffer zone, which dominated the country, has now fulfilled France's original ideal, replacing Britain as the most powerful country. ”
Huang Ligong's cold sweat was about to come out. He inexplicably flashed in front of his eyes Xu Chaoyu's appearance that night. What kind of materials are this family made of?! Why can't Xu Qianqian see their appearance at all?
"It's been a lot of generations, isn't it? There is a generation of struggle. The efforts and success of our generation cannot guarantee that the next generation will continue, but we still have to make the right choice, don't we? "The more pressure he is, the faster Huang Ligong responds. He's pretty happy with that. After a pause, he continued, "I heard that there is a musical going on in New York right now, called "Hamilton", which is very popular and hard to get. I think Hamilton will be re-evaluated soon. ”
Xu Shaoyang was a little surprised, and laughed, "Mr. Huang, you don't think that a musical can change the direction of history for two hundred years, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Huang Ligong.
When he was still in London, he went to New York several times and made a special trip to see "Hamilton". Standing on the streets of London at dusk, he would feel the desire to leave here and go somewhere else. To New York, to Cologne, to Oslo, to Istanbul, sometimes he wondered that he had never longed to go back to Shanghai once and for all. "Hamilton" is indeed hard to find, and it is difficult to buy a ticket for thousands of dollars. Unexpectedly, Huang Ligong also knew about this musical.
He would never have thought that Huang Ligong actually had no interest in musicals and did not know anything about them. This afternoon conversation was the result of careful preparation. The Statue of Liberty was seen by Liu Ruiyang's father, and the doubts about the United States and France came from Liu Ruiyang, and "Hamilton" was watched by Wang Miao and his friend Ling Yuanruo. Maybe they and Xu Shaoyang sat in the same scene on the same night. Huang Ligong secretly contacted Wang Miao, saying that he was helping Liu Ruiyang, he was content with his own assertions, if this once the most important person in Liu Ruiyang's life returned to Liu Ruiyang's world, it would be his first step.
Huang Ligong also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands.
"Kunpeng's reducer, Sail Science and Industry want to join. It can be a minority shareholder and take a stake in intellectual property. Xu Shaoyang seemed to be saying an undoubted fact, not a proposal. Huang Ligong's pupils shrank, "The research and development of the reducer of Xaar Science and Technology has not been successful. ”
"Oh, are you going to give up what you've accumulated now and find another way?" Xu Shaoyang was a little impatient, "Mr. Huang, let's not do meaningless entanglement." ”
"That's exactly our style, and the development of Kunpeng has always been a different way."
"This is the reducer, Mr. Huang. The trouble is always in the future, not now. Either you find another way, and you can't figure it out for three or four years. Or, a year later, with your care and investment, the reducer has achieved a little success, and at this time, if there is a patent dispute, the initiating party has sufficient rights and evidence, what do you think? ”
"What's in it for Cell? Harming others is not good for oneself. I'm afraid the image is not good? ”
"It's not Cell. There are a lot of companies in Shanghai and Suzhou, you can call them predators, they buy flaws and loopholes, they use all means, gouge openings, and make big with small ones. How much energy and confidence does Mr. Huang have to stop them from doing everything? Xu Shaoyang said coldly. He stared at Huang Ligong's expressionless face, and added coldly, "Mr. Huang, I remember you just said that staring at money and face, staring at the gains and losses of a time and place, shouting that interests take precedence, is short-sighted. ”
Huang Ligong was stunned, and cold sweat finally flowed out.
"Same words. From an objective standpoint, the benefits of this matter far outweigh the disadvantages for Kunpeng. Xu Shaoyang's tone softened, "Since it is a buffer zone and barrier, and it is a minority shareholder, we naturally hope that you will break through as soon as possible, and there will be necessary assistance and support." Considering the sincerity of Mr. Huang's visit today, and the conditions for the shares, I will join the equipment leasing right, and the related laboratories and equipment, such as the Meggeller grinding machine, will be open to you at the most fair price. ”
Xu Shaoyang picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly. He had enough certainty and patience to wait slowly. Sure enough, Huang Ligong pondered for a while, stretched out his hand briskly, and the two shook hands solemnly.
"Mr. Huang, let's separate the reducer. The establishment of an independent company isolates the risks, and it is also convenient for us to take shares. ”
Huang Ligong didn't take this into account, and immediately realized that what Xu Shaoyang said was extremely true, and said indifferently, "We are already working on it." ”
"Good. I have only one request, the Kunpeng reducer is given priority to the supply of Sail Science and Industry, the highest priority. ”
"Agreed in advance according to the production plan."
“ok。 Leave the rest to the follow-up team. ”
Xu Shaoyang stood up.
Huang Ligong walked out of the building of Sail Science and Technology, the sun was dazzling, and he felt a little warm on his body. He let out a long breath and beckoned to stop a taxi. In any case, no matter what the process is, this one-handed meeting is a victory. He succeeded in reversing Xu Shaoyang's impression and evaluation of him, turning a potentially terrifying rival into an ally. On the road in the future, Sail Science and Industry should be able to play a great role in helping Kunpeng.
However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Xu Shaoyang frowned in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the endless high-rise buildings of the city, planning an action against him. Xu Shaoyang gently patted the railing and scrutinized it repeatedly. His hand stopped, he made up his mind, took out his mobile phone, and dialed out the number to Xu Qianqian.
