Chapter 1031 Super High Rating
Under Old Wei's gaze, Jiang He's expression began to become serious: "Our President Zhang often said to us: Huateng Industrial Group has developed through the opportunity of reform and opening up and the wind given by the times. Many people think that our Huateng Industrial Group is a banner for the development of Huaxia's automobile industry.
These words are both a compliment and a pressure to us. Since we are a banner, we must play the leading role of the banner. As the old saying goes, a single branch is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together. Spring is full of gardens. Since Huateng Industrial Group is the first One step, don't think all day long about using your size and advantages to clean up this one and overwhelm that one, but think about how to develop together with other national auto manufacturing companies in China. "
"..."
Old Wei and Ms. Wang were dumbfounded.
Of course they understood it, but it was precisely because they understood it that they couldn't understand it: According to the meaning in Jiang He's dialect, the reason why Zhang Qihang gave him the renderings was actually nothing other than pure Do you want to help your company grow and develop?
How can this be?
Besides, even if you really have such a pure mind, don't you worry that these enterprises will compete with your Huateng Industrial Group after they develop?
Old Wei and Ms. Wang's heads were in a mess, and they felt that they couldn't accept it at all. How could there be such naive idealists in this world? !
The people headed by Jiang He were not unfamiliar with the reactions of Old Wei and Ms. Wang: Didn't everyone have the same attitude and opinion when Mr. Zhang said and did that?
After finishing speaking, Jiang He said with a smile: "Chairman Wei is a little surprised?"
Old Wei quickly shook his head: "I'm not surprised, this..."
Seeing Old Wei's confused face and not knowing what to say, Jiang He patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "I understand, I understand, to tell you the truth, we also thought Mr. Zhang was too idealistic back then. But Mr. Wei, take a look at the companies that our group has helped over the years, such as Black Leopard Motors, Qinchuan Machinery Factory, Jiangbei Machinery Factory, Yadi Motors...
It has all developed to this day with the help of Mr. Zhang, or even personally supported. In addition, there are more than 20 domestic second- and third-tier automobile manufacturers that purchase engines and gearboxes from our Huateng Group. For these enterprises, We also try our best to provide corresponding technical support.
And the result also confirms our Mr. Zhang's thoughts: Among the companies that have been helped by us, I dare not say that every one is with our group, but basically everyone knows how to be grateful.
On the other hand, let’s talk about Mr. Wei, our group has worked so hard to help you, Mr. Wei, even if you are not grateful in the future, you should not make trouble, right? "
"Hehe..." Old Wei hurriedly waved his hands: "That can't be done, that can't be done..."
"Isn't that enough?" Jiang He spread his hands and said with a smile: "When you hear something bad, you can let us know in advance and report a letter. Even if we don't have this friend in vain, what do you say? right?"
"..."
Old Wei nodded again and again, but his heart was a little confused: Just making friends, is this the most fundamental reason why Zhang Qihang and Huateng Industrial Group can achieve their current scale in a very short period of time?
Vaguely, he felt that this seemed to be right, and at the same time felt that something was wrong.
Just when Old Wei was in a daze, he suddenly heard Ms. Wang whispering in his ear: "Dong Wei, Mr. Zhang's move is too powerful."
"what?"
Old Wei was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was shocked: What do you mean?Old Wang, do you understand?
"An enterprise that has developed to the level of Huateng Industrial Group is the economic pillar of a province. I dare not say that it will never fail, but basically it is unlikely that it will. On the other hand, if anyone dares to do harm to Huateng Teng Group..." Speaking of this, Ms. Wang lowered her voice: "Who do you think can bear the consequences?"
Old Wei was stunned for a moment, and then shivered suddenly!
Take myself as an example, if the entire auto industry knows that Zhang Qihang has helped me without asking for anything in return, if one day in the future, I don’t even say that I secretly stabbed Zhang Qihang in the back, even if I am in Zhang Qihang’s life. Or when Huateng Industrial Group encounters difficulties, it stands idly by and refuses to help. How will the industry see itself?What do your partners think of you?
Maybe they will say "understand, understand, there is no way to do it", but will they put themselves in the ranks of "Old Wei, this person can't be handed over!"
If that's the case, his reputation will be rotten!
The stinky smell.
Lao Wei knows very well that for a small boss, whether he has a good reputation is not that important, but for a company with annual sales of hundreds of millions, which is very likely to reach 10 billion in the next two to three years , the image and word-of-mouth of the company's leaders are too important for the development of this company!Even to some extent, this word of mouth can be life-saving and fatal at critical moments.
But after knowing Zhang Qihang's thoughts, Lao Wei felt relieved: Since Zhang Qihang thinks highly of him and wants to make friends with him, what else is there to say?If people give yourself face, just take care of yourself, anyway, as long as you don't let your friends down in the future.
Knowing what he was thinking, Old Wei turned his head to look at Ms. Wang.
After working together for so many years, Ms. Wang naturally understood the meaning of Lao Wei's look at her, and immediately nodded slightly.
Lao Wei immediately asked the hotel staff to bring six empty wine glasses and three bottles of wine, and placed three in front of himself and Ms. Wang.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Qihang frowned slightly, and said, "Wei Dong, what are you doing?"
However, Lao Wei recklessly filled the 6 wine glasses, and then said sincerely to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean. Thank you for your help. These three glasses of wine are made by me and Lao Wang. Your sincerest thanks, thank you for giving us face."
After finishing speaking, Old Wei picked up the wine glass, one glass after another, three glasses, a full six taels of white wine, and his face flushed instantly.
Ms. Wang is also a heroine who does not give in to her eyebrows, and follows Lao Wei, also drinking three glasses of "kuang kuang kuang".
"it is good!"
"Dong Wei is a good drinker!"
"Mr. Wang is good at drinking!"
People in China always believe that "the quality of the wine is the quality of the character". Seeing Lao Wei drank three glasses of baijiu so happily and quickly, everyone immediately applauded, and the impression of Lao Wei was instantly good: this man drinks quickly and is a nice person.
Zhang Qihang didn't expect Old Wei to be so straightforward, but he really didn't mean to let him drink like this, so he couldn't help smiling wryly and got up, shaking his head and said: "Dong Wei, Mr. Wang, I understand what you two mean, so , I will accompany you two for a drink, and everyone will also have a drink... Well, let's not talk about it if you are being polite, we will come and go often in the future."
Lao Wei and Ms. Wang drank three glasses in a row, but Zhang Qihang only drank one. However, neither Lao Wei, Ms. Wang nor the people at the wine table felt that there was anything wrong with it. After all, the nature of this wine was special. It is thanks to the wine. With the help provided by Huateng Industrial Group to Lao Wei, Zhang Qihang can accept it calmly even if he does not drink a cup. Being able to have a cup with him is a great face for Lao Wei. Let everyone have a drink together, this face is definitely given to the sky.
So when Old Wei heard this, his face immediately flushed red!
Zhang Qihang proposed, who can not give this face?
Everyone immediately got up in unison and toasted Lao Wei and Ms. Wang together.
After finishing the glass of wine, Old Wei refilled the six wine glasses in front of himself and Ms. Wang again. Seeing this action of Old Wei, Zhang Qihang's eyes began to look strange: "Mr. Wei, you are..."
This guy wants to drink with himself?
Old Wei said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, I apologize to you for these three glasses of wine."
"Apologize?" Zhang Qihang frowned: "President Wei, what did you say?"
Hearing what Old Wei said, everyone was also a little surprised: Apologize?Haven't heard that Lao Wei or his company offended Mr. Zhang?Where did this apology come from?
Old Wei blushed and said with shame: "Mr. Zhang, when you kindly gave me the rendering today, I thought about all kinds of possibilities. For example, you said you had other ideas. Now I know , How shameful my previous thoughts were! Even though you don’t know about this, I, Old Wei, can’t pretend that it never happened, or I’ll feel bad about it.”
Ms. Wang immediately followed up and said: "Mr. Zhang, although it did not cause any bad influence or loss to you and our Huateng Industrial Group regarding our previous thoughts, our Mr. Wei still feels very ashamed, and I also feel very ashamed. Ashamed, the most important thing is that it is our honor to meet such a noble person as you in the critical stage of the company's development, and it is our honor, let alone your friendship.
So for these three glasses of wine today, Mr. Wei and I must have a drink. Please forgive our villainous heart, otherwise, in the hearts of Mr. Wei and I, this hurdle will be hard to overcome. "
After finishing speaking, without waiting for others to persuade them, the two raised the wine glasses in front of them and "boom, boom, boom..." and drank it down. Everyone was stunned, but they couldn't help applauding in unison.
It's no wonder everyone reacted like this, it's because Old Wei and Ms. Wang handled this matter openly.
In fact, everyone thinks that the thoughts of Lao Wei and Ms. Wang are understandable, because if it is me, who would not think of the bad first in the face of the good that others suddenly come to your door?After all, everyone has been educated since childhood that "there is no pie in the sky". If there is a pie in the sky, then the pie must be poisonous, so we must be more careful.
Therefore, the reactions of Lao Wei and Ms. Wang can be said to be fundamentally human, and no one would say anything. Naturally, he would not take it seriously.
But at this time, Old Wei and Ms. Wang took the initiative to reveal their previously dark thoughts, and apologized to Zhang Qihang. In the words of the northerners, Old Wei and Ms. Wang are "enough men He is a man! This friend is worth making!"
Although I don't know whether Lao Wei and Ms. Wang did this for this reason, but since they did this, they have to respond.
"You guys..."
Zhang Qihang smiled wryly and shook his head, then poured himself a cup, stood up, and said seriously: "Dong Wei, Mr. Wang, it is natural for you to have such thoughts, and everyone can understand, but since the two It’s so interesting, and I can’t be disinterested, so I would like to offer a toast to both of you.”
After drinking, Zhang Qihang didn't sit down immediately, but took a look at Ms. Wang, and said to Old Wei seriously: "Mr. Wei, Ms. Wang is the best woman, I believe that your ability to Ms. Wang is the best." Clearly, I believe that with Ms. Wang as your partner, your company will definitely do better and better."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Qihang said to Ms. Wang: "Mr. Wang, I know that you are cooperating very well with Lao Wei and working very happily. Lao Wei is a good person. I can't poach his corner, but what I want to say is , if one day in the future, you are not happy staying in Old Wei and want to change your working environment, you can come to our Huateng Group for a try."
Although Zhang Qihang did not promise to Ms. Wang what position he would give her when he came to Huateng Industrial Group, his words still shocked everyone in Huateng Industrial Group who attended the dinner tonight!
Even more people couldn't help thinking: Is this woman surnamed Wang really so powerful?Not necessarily?But why did Mr. Zhang say that?Could it be that Mr. Zhang is dissatisfied with my work?
People always scare themselves, especially during this period of time from comrades who think that they have worked hard for so many years and have begun to slack off at work. Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, and looking at Zhang Qihang's expression, the apex of his heart suddenly trembled : It seems that Mr. Zhang is indeed dissatisfied with my work attitude, and reminds me in this way...
As for Ms. Wang, her whole face was flushed at the moment.
She is excited.
Ms. Wang never expected that Zhang Qihang would specifically mention herself on this occasion, and gave such a high evaluation, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she looked at Zhang Qihang with gratitude.
My family knows about my own family affairs. Although I have already achieved the position of general manager, and I can be regarded as a quite famous professional woman in the domestic business circle, as a woman, she knows how many rumors and gossips accompany her, so she is even more concerned. Knowing how precious Zhang Qihang is: a strong woman whom even Zhang Qihang admires so much, how powerful should she be?
By that time, the gossip and rumors about him should also dissipate a lot, right?
As for Lao Wei, after hearing Zhang Qihang's words, he immediately laughed triumphantly: "That's right! Mr. Zhang, to tell you the truth, I have always thought that the most fortunate thing in my life is to get Old Wang's help, hehe..."
