Chapter 1380: The Magnanimity and Generosity of a Large Group

In the reception room of Huateng Group, Lao Zhao asked Lao Li in a low voice: "Lao Li, what kind of person do you think Mr. Zhang is? Is he easy to talk to?"

He was about to meet Zhang Qihang, and Old Li was feeling nervous and uneasy. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know? I haven't met Mr. Zhang before."

"I watched some media interviews and felt that Mr. Zhang was easy to talk to..."

Before Lao Zhao finished speaking, a few low laughs were heard around him, and it was obvious that people thought Lao Zhao's question was childish.

Old Li interrupted him angrily: "Old Zhao, what are you thinking about?"

Old Li was a little annoyed that Old Zhao asked such a naive question. He lowered his voice and said to Old Zhao, "How can people in the media be the same as people in real life? We have also seen many people interviewed by the media. Look at how they are in front of the media and how they are when facing us. Can you guarantee that Mr. Zhang is the same in his daily life as he is in the media?"

"This……"

After hearing this, Old Zhao stopped talking.

Indeed, with their business growing to this point, they have to deal with many bigwigs on a daily basis, and they know these people's personalities very well. Don't be fooled by the fact that they always look kind-hearted, easy to talk to, generous, and unwilling to argue with others when facing ordinary people. But in reality, it is completely different. The reason why they put on this appearance to the outside world is, on the one hand, to shape their own external image, and on the other hand, it is because their interests have not been touched. Once their interests are touched, these people will immediately turn into man-eating wolves.

  I am so stupid. I don’t know how many times I have encountered similar situations. How could I still ask such a naive question?

"Okay, let's do what we agreed on before," Lao Li whispered, "Also, no matter what, Mr. Zhang is much more powerful than us, so we should be respectful and polite to him, that's always right."

"Yes, Lao Li is right."

"That's what Lao Li said."

"It's not wrong to be careful. Lao Li is right..."

…………

The bosses who were engaged in beef import and export and came with Lao Li all spoke up to support Lao Li.

They also thought so: when dealing with a person like "Zhang Qihang, General Manager of Huateng Industrial Group", everyone has to be polite and respectful.

  Lao Zhao felt a little aggrieved: I didn’t say anything, I was just a little nervous and wanted to chat, why are you all like this?

As he was talking, a staff member knocked on the door and came in with a polite smile on his face: "Gentlemen, our General Manager Zhang will be here soon."

Hearing this, everyone could no longer sit still and stood up subconsciously...

"Mr. Zhang will be here soon? Shall we go pick him up?"

"Yes, yes, I need to go pick it up..."

…………

Seeing everyone standing up and saying they wanted to go and greet them, the staff was used to it and said politely, "Gentlemen, no need. Our President Zhang has specifically told everyone to relax and not to greet them."

After saying that, he paused for a moment, then explained: "Our General Manager Zhang is very busy. Many times he has to race against time to process documents on the road, so please understand." I understand that the staff member in front of me means for everyone not to go over and cause trouble for General Manager Zhang.

We have indeed seen some big bosses, and when they are busy, they are really busy. It is really as this staff member of Huateng Group said, they discuss things with their subordinates while walking and sign documents while walking.

Now that people have said this, what else do you not understand? His tone immediately changed...

"In that case, let's wait here."

"Mr. Zhang is indeed busy..."

…………

Although they said this, everyone did not slow down at all. They walked out of the door one after another and stood outside waiting - we don't want to waste Mr. Zhang's time, but we also have to show our gratitude.

The staff member did not react to the crowd's actions. Apparently, this was a situation he had encountered more than once or twice.

Originally, everyone thought they would have to wait for a long time, but unexpectedly, within two minutes after everyone came out, Zhang Qihang walked out of the elevator accompanied by two people. Some knowledgeable people even recognized their identities: Yang Zhijun, the chief steward of Huateng Group, and Liu Jianfeng, the special assistant of the general manager's office of Huateng Group.

Seeing everyone, Zhang Qihang took a few quick steps and apologized to everyone: "Dear friends, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something just now and made you wait for so long."

"No no……"

"Mr. Zhang, you are too polite..."

…………

Arriving at the conference room, Zhang Qihang gestured to everyone, "Please take a seat, my friends. It will be lunchtime in a little while. Let's try to use this time to communicate well, and then I'll treat everyone to a simple meal."

As he spoke, Zhang Qihang looked at Yang Zhijun.

Yang Zhijun did not beat around the bush with the crowd. He said, "All of you are engaged in the beef import and export business. We also know that you are here for the batch of beef that our group imported from South America. Here, on behalf of our General Manager Zhang and our Huateng Industrial Group, I would like to make a statement to everyone: Our Huateng Group has no intention of engaging in the beef import and export business. The reason why we imported this batch of beef is entirely because the impact of the economic crisis has caused us to be unable to successfully settle foreign exchange in South America. This is why we purchased this batch of beef locally to collect the payment in disguise. This is also a helpless measure. Please understand and forgive me.

So, friends, rest assured, the automobile business is enough for Huateng Group, and we will not stick our chopsticks into everyone's bowl to grab the meat."

Yang Zhijun's remarks not only proactively explained the matter of the batch of beef imported by Huateng Group, but also promised that he would not interfere with other people's livelihoods, which can be said to have given enough face to everyone.

Before this, no one had expected that Huateng Group would be so respectful and sincere in its attitude. For a moment, they were a little dazed: Is this the magnanimity and generosity of a real big group?

At this time, Mr. Li took the lead and said sincerely and gratefully: "Mr. Yang, thank you and Mr. Zhang for your understanding. With your words, we can finally put our minds at ease... To be honest, before this, we were really worried. Don't blame us for thinking too much. Compared with us, your size is really too big. If you sneeze, we will all catch a bad cold."
