198 Gentleman's Covenant

..............

Twinkle Twinkle Media, Zheng Xu's office.

This morning, Zheng Xu, who had just gone to the city for a meeting, sat alone at his desk and checked a copy of the company's information in his hand.

Originally, today was just a regular meeting, and the first half of the year will pass soon, and the CEOs of several large enterprises and well-known enterprises in the city will get together to summarize the experience of the first half of the year and chat.

Zheng Xu has participated in this kind of meeting many times, and he didn't care about it, Zheng Xu is usually very low-key, but at today's meeting, a leader is ready to meet another local large enterprise----- White Elephant Group.

After hearing this name, Zheng Xu accepted it with good intentions, but he categorically rejected the White Elephant Group's proposal to join the Star Alliance, leaving no room for negotiation.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a matter of mutual benefit, but when I came to Zheng Xu, I didn't expect to be rejected so decisively.

Zheng Xu didn't explain, of course, he didn't want to make a feud, and used a somewhat far-fetched, but irrefutable reason, there is a Miss Group in the Star Alliance, they are also food companies, and the business of the White Elephant Group overlaps, Zheng Xu, as the nominal Star Alliance speaker, does not want to cause instability within the alliance, so he refuses on this ground.

But as long as you know a little bit about the inside story, you will know that this is just an excuse, although the boss of the White Elephant Group has a bad face, but he will not have a stiff relationship with Zheng Xu, and he also said that everyone is a fellow countryman, and there will be a chance to cooperate in the future.

Zheng Xu smiled and agreed, and the matter ended a little awkwardly.

At the end of the meeting, Zheng Xu didn't stay to eat, and left first after getting in the car.

At this time, I was sitting alone in the office, and my heart was still quite uneasy.

White Elephant Group, the biggest impression of the outside world on them is probably the instant noodles they make, theoretically speaking, their business and Synear Group have absolutely no overlap!

Miss's main business is to make quick-frozen food, can it be the same thing as instant noodles?

Instant noodles are suitable for occasions that far exceed all kinds of quick-frozen foods that you miss, whether it is in the car during the journey, or at the major accommodation locations, you can eat with a little boiling water, even if there is no boiling water, you can eat dry!

But what about frozen food? Do you dare to eat it without cooking? That's raw.

Moreover, the freight chain of the White Elephant Group covers the whole country, and if they can join the Star Alliance, theoretically speaking, it can greatly enhance the overall strength of the Star Alliance.

But... There is a reason for everything, however, the White Elephant Group became famous early and is also famous, but their fame is big in the employees.

As we all know, as a large food group, one-third of the employees are disabled, under such a premise, they can still develop steadily, step by step, you can imagine their strength.

But what ordinary people have not paid attention to is that the volume of White Elephant Group is not ordinarily large, as a perennial "Asia's top 500" enterprise, this is already a great achievement!

Such a strong company, now suddenly proposed to join the Star Alliance, Zheng Xu was vigilant in his heart for the first time, Flashing Media also has disabled employees, not only disabled employees, but even wounded veterans He has received a batch, the routine is the same as the White Elephant Group!

This is not only good for the company's image, but not limited to many other aspects, it is also good.

Everyone is playing the same routine!

The White Elephant Group is a joint-stock enterprise, and Zheng Xu is not interested in understanding what they are inside, but as the old saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless there is a male and a female.

The usually unusually low-key White Elephant Group, no matter what purpose they want to join the Star Alliance, Zheng Xu will not agree, not when, the arrival of strong foreign aid is a good thing, the Star Alliance is now extremely balanced, and several companies get along very happily, although Want Want Group is large, but their biggest disadvantage is that they are not local!

Several local companies are old friends of Zheng Xu who have cooperated for many years, everyone knows the roots, has cooperated for so many years, and is also accustomed to this model, so although the amount of media is not large, the positions of the internal speakers of these five companies have always been controlled by Zheng Xu, or under the pretext of unified propaganda and unified integration of resources, but in fact, everyone knows what the situation is.

But if a White Elephant Group is suddenly added, it will be different, the benefits of their entry into the Star Alliance are almost as big as the uncertain troubles they bring to Zheng Xu!

Zheng Xu didn't have the time and mind to deal with the affairs of their White Elephant Group anymore.

The current Zhongzhou City, although it is only a second-tier city, but in this small transportation hub city, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many old-level enterprises, not to mention the White Elephant Group, Zheng Xu's Flashing Media is also one, and there is a lot of cooperation with Flashing Media, but the reputation of Yutong Group is also one, in addition to these, Jianye Group is also one, as for others, there are some extremely low-key enterprises, I will not introduce them one by one.

There are so many companies, and everyone still has the identity of fellow countrymen, why didn't Zheng Xu take the initiative to recruit them to join the Star Alliance?

Because they let them in, where is Zheng Xu's turn to speak? When the volume reaches a certain point, the right to speak will naturally be greater!

Isn't this a wedding dress for someone else? This kind of stupid thing, Zheng Xu not only doesn't want to do it, but also tries his best to prevent it.

The White Elephant Group's joining the Star Alliance is the icing on the cake for them, but for Zheng Xu, it is not a good thing.

Therefore, for the application of the White Elephant Group, Zheng Xu categorically refused without any room for maneuver, and did not discuss!

......................

It is good for a snake to swallow an elephant, and it is certainly arrogant, but if it is not swallowed well, it will make people laugh if it dies and supports itself.

Now that their Star Alliance is developing steadily, there is no need for the outside to add to the chaos, as long as the plan to enter Xijiang Province to invest and open up channels is completed, the foundation will be laid, and the rest will be done step by step according to the plan.

The mobile phone on the table rang at the right time, put down the information, Zheng Xu picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.

Why does Lao Jiang call at this point?

"Hello? How is Brother Jiang doing lately? ”

Zheng Xu's mood changed quickly, and the old Jiang on the other side of the phone couldn't hear Zheng Xu's current state at all.

"Hahaha, Brother Zheng's hospitality this time almost killed me, my back hurts!"

Zheng Xu was silent for a while, Lao Jiang has been missing in the hotel for several days, who has a back pain if you don't have back pain?

"Brother Jiang, are you going back?"

"Well, Old Tang arranged it for me, and I'll leave in the afternoon."

Neither of the two said anything like meeting again, Zheng Xu was afraid that Lao Jiang would be embarrassed, although Lao Jiang was usually very arrogant, but he was a little embarrassed to see Zheng Xu after playing for nearly a week.

Without waiting for Zheng Xu to continue talking, Lao Jiang talked about another thing.

"Brother Zheng, you are particular about your work, I have received your wishes! Don't worry, I will never mix with you! I'll explain when I go back, I've been here with you for so many days this time, I've delayed a lot of things, I'm going to hurry back to catch up with the progress, I have time to come to the capital to play, I'll entertain you! ”

"Okay!" Zheng Xu laughed twice after listening to Lao Jiang's promise, and was relieved in his heart, and did not pretend anymore, and the two hung up the phone after chatting for a few more words.

Until Lao Jiang's last sentence, Zheng Xu knew that his purpose of inviting Lao Jiang to come this time was successfully completed, as for Lao Jiang not coming to play a supporting role in the new drama, this is a trivial matter!

Why did Zheng Xu insist on getting acquainted with Lao Jiang and inviting him over?

The most important thing is to put Lao Wang together and cut off his back road.

Lao Jiang is not an ordinary person, don't look at him, he may not reach the height of Lao Zhang in terms of fame, but Lao Jiang's identity is not ordinary, he is a famous old man in the Beijing circle, as for the comparison between Feng Lao Pao and Lao Jiang, he is not even a fart!

When Lao Jiang became famous, Feng Lao Pao didn't know where he was, as long as he got Lao Jiang, he would almost get the entire Beijing circle, although Lao Jiang couldn't represent the entire Beijing circle, but most of what he could influence, Zheng Xu didn't care about the rest of the stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Zheng Xu's requirements are very simple, the TV series and penguin video are his own land and his chassis, don't touch them.

The gift was delivered, and the hospitality was also in order, Lao Jiang understood Zheng Xu's intentions, and made his words clear before leaving, everyone will go to one side of the road in the future, and they will not invade each other, and the people who Lao Jiang can influence will not come to touch Zheng Xu, as for the remaining small fish and shrimp, it will be fine.

In just a few days, there was no sword and sword, everything was in plain sight, and the two sides tacitly agreed that this matter was settled, as for the victims, it seemed that there was only Lao Wang, but Lao Wang had all the benefits, even if Zheng Xu compensated him in advance.

As for the people in the port circle in the south, no one on either side mentioned it, and if they can't stop it, how to block it, everyone has their own ability, as long as they don't fight infighting, it is enough to have a tacit understanding.

For Zheng Xu, these people in the Beijing circle, he only has a personal grudge with Feng Laopao, and the others, everyone has no interest disputes and no need to fight, and those people in the south have no threat to Zheng Xu, they are all engaged in commercial films, everyone is not playing on the same track, what is Zheng Xu afraid of?

Than honors? With his current honor, there is no one in the south who can fight!

Now that the interior has been settled, the territory has been divided, and the last matter has been solved, Zheng Xu is ready to leave for Western Xinjiang Province.

After dragging on for so long, the preliminary preparations are almost over, and he wants to lead the vice presidents of several other enterprises to meet with the local officials in Xijiang Province, sign the contract, and talk about the classification.

......................

In this era, it is still very risky for foreign enterprises to invest in unfamiliar provinces and cities, as for the specific reasons... It's hard to say, but it can only be said that the safety of funds is a bit dangerous.

When an enterprise arrives in an unfamiliar area and wants to develop a new project, the first process is to find the local official, first come up with a plan, determine the project and investment amount, and then sign the contract.

But this problem is not a problem for several companies in the Star Alliance!

There is a flash and a flash of media, the golden body of the law, the last thing they are afraid of is the security of funds, a film and television production company, or a well-known film and television production company at home and abroad, such a big influence of public opinion is not a dry meal!

But the Tao in this is not visible to ordinary people for a while.

Zheng Xu's plan for the formulation of the Western Xinjiang plan is that he must show the greatest sincerity in the early stage!

How to express the greatest sincerity?

We didn't even sign a contract with the local authorities, so we threw the money down first!

Just highlight an atmosphere, nearly 10 million purchase orders smashed down first, not to mention the rest, and so the real cash is in place, began to purchase a large number of materials, and the talents of the joint delegation came to talk about the project!

This kind of routine makes the local officials a little confused, no company has played like this before, and the sincerity is very full!

The next negotiation was very simple, the project that Star Alliance engaged in was a physical investment that stimulated the market the most, and it brought in a lot of cash.

This is still very different from the real estate investment projects in those big cities.

Don't look at how many hundreds of millions of projects some companies invest in at every turn.

No one knows how much money the specific enterprise makes, but most of the money is borrowed from the bank, and then the land is taken out after the land is bought, and the loan is completed to operate the project, and when the foundation is laid, the house is started to be sold, and the profit begins.

The project is big, there are many routines in it, and the local economy is limited.

But these projects of Star Alliance are really able to drive the local economy, and the cash is smashed down, and the things are bought, which is the biggest pull!

And the rest of the construction projects, there are talks.

Compared with the construction of filming locations, the local officials prefer to build a film and television city in the situation of a tourist area, rather than a one-time filming location, this money is from the local official, Zheng Xu also agreed, the first will build the scenes he needs to use first, as for the rest of the houses, they will be built on one side of the simple house, and they will be slowly replaced with physical buildings in the later stage.

In this process, this tourist area will build a large fat Donglai supermarket, and in the whole West Xinjiang Province, five enterprises will jointly establish a number of material transfer warehouses, this warehouse is shared, which not only saves capital and labor costs, but also facilitates management, as long as it is classified.

The employees needed by these warehouses are all recruited locals, which can also provide a large number of employment opportunities for the local area, and can also drive the construction of local logistics and transportation.

In addition to the leaders of the warehouses need to be brought from Zhongzhou City, the rest of the employees are easy to say, this is not to say that they look down on the locals, but professional things, for a while and a half can not directly recruit locals, can only be through the first employment, then training, and wait for a year and a half, there are outstanding performance of the employees, and then slowly promoted, and finally the local past support staff and then withdraw on the line.

Dozens of large-scale transshipment warehouses and three large-scale comprehensive supermarkets, which add up to a lot of investment!

And there are a lot of jobs to offer!

If the development is good in the later stage, the plan for the second phase of the new project is not ruled out, and several companies will build production lines locally.

According to this mode of operation, this is no longer a small investment project, but a large-scale long-term investment project.

Zheng Xu is also the first time to operate such a large project, a physical investment project of hundreds of millions of yuan, so he can't be careless.
