Revival Road

Chapter 33
Four or 10 minutes later, Coster stopped in front of the main building of Donghu Industry.

This is the first time Lu Qi has come to the famous Donghu Industrial Headquarters. It is located at the west end of Xinjian Road in the northern part of the urban area. The beige building surrounded by three arches with two lows and one high looks majestic. There are two flags, one is the national flag, and the other is the corporate flag of Donghu with a black eagle on a white background, giving people a sense of domineering and ferocious.

Lu Qi and Zuo Yun hid behind, but they could clearly see the leaders of Donghu Lake headed by Tang Yikun. These people were all super rich and well-known Hiraizumi.

"I'm really sorry, unfortunately, the mayor of Shangguan summoned me, and Mr. Qi and I have to go to the city." Tang Yikun held Tao Tang's hand, and he had been introduced to Tao Tang by Tang Yiwei and Wei Shegang. The board of directors of the group has reached a consensus. Since cooperation will benefit both parties, we should strengthen cooperation and strive for a win-win situation. The two of them will discuss specific matters with you, and I will try to come back to have a drink with you. Shegang, here It's up to you."

"Don't worry, I will arrange it." Wei Shegang, the president of Donghu Mining Company, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, is polite and educated, "No problem, leave this to me."

Tang Yiwei, who was a head shorter than Tang Yikun, didn't look like a real person anymore. He grinned when he shook hands with Tao Tang, "Brother Tao, I'm afraid you don't remember me, but I do remember you."

"I really don't remember." Tao Tang said with a smile, "Now the first brother is a person who stomps Hiraizumi's feet, it's amazing."

"You think highly of him. Although Donghu Machinery, the third son of my family, manages dozens of large and small factories, the integration has not been completed yet, and there are many problems. He wants to ask you about many things." Tang Yikun said with a smile, " Director Tao, I’m really sorry, I’m really leaving. But it’s okay, the two of them will never let you make this trip in vain. By the way, come here Xuedong,” he waved to a young man, “Mr. Tao, this is My secretary Dai Xuedong, I leave it to you, mainly responsible for entertaining the distinguished guests of Red Star."

"You're welcome." Tao Tang smiled, and after shaking hands with Qi Zhen, he offered to extend his hand to Xiao Dai.

Tang Yikun settled Tao Tang, saw Lu Qi at a glance, left aside the people of Red Star, went to shake hands with Lu Qi, "Oh, Miss Lu, this is the first time you come to my place, you should have a good drink at noon." He said to Red Star's cadres cupped their hands, "I'm sorry for neglecting everyone." They turned around and got on his Mulsanne, and left.

"President Tao, President Li, leaders, please go ahead." Wei Shegang made a gesture to welcome in.

"President Wei please." Tao Tang and Wei Shegang stepped up the marble steps side by side.

"Your classmate is really amazing." Zuo Yun kept following the Mulsanne who was driving away, "Bentley Mulsanne, there are several million luxury cars. It is definitely the only one in Hiraizumi, and it is in Bei'an. The return rate is also very high.”

"It's just a local tyrant." Lu Qi pouted.

"Aren't you jealous? Look at his style, he has definitely surpassed the stage of local tyrants." Zuo Yun has been to the East Lake headquarters, "In terms of strength, he is definitely better than us."

"It's not necessarily true in terms of background." Lu Qi glanced at the back of the person walking in front, and said in a low voice, "My brother-in-law and younger brother share the power, typical characteristics of nouveau riche."

"It's a private enterprise, so why not use our own family? I have learned that Wei Shegang is very powerful and shrewd... We speak from all corners of the world, but once the emperor and the courtiers, everyone is in danger and precarious. How can someone else have a long-term foothold. "

Zuo Yun's words had a lot of meaning.Lu Qi understood what Zuo Yun meant, she was referring to Red Star's complex internal factions.Everyone knows that with Tao Tang's rise to power, Red Star will once again face a power reshuffle.Zuo Yun is a person on Song Yue's line, a pawn that Song Yue placed in the marketing department to restrain Li Luo, and for this reason has been excluded by Li Luo.Because Song Yue is the leader after all, Li Luo can't take Zuo Yun too much.Now that Song Yue has collapsed, Zuo Yun is naturally panicked.She doesn't have a high degree of education and is just a technical secondary school student, but Lu Qi knew that Zuo Yun was capable, otherwise she wouldn't have recommended it to Tao Tang yesterday morning.

Apparently Tao Tang has realized Li Luo's threat, otherwise she would not have asked her about capable and suppressed cadres in the marketing system.This time Zuo Yun came, I don't know if it was Tao Tang's general, she wanted to ask Zuo Yun, but she felt it was inappropriate, so she didn't ask.

Entering the meeting room on the second floor of the main building, the guests and hosts were seated separately. After introducing the members of both parties, Wei Shegang first said: "Mr. Talking about strengthening cooperation with Red Star Company, I fully agree with it, and express my support for it. In fact, we have always maintained close cooperation. Red Star has always been the most important partner of Donghu in the province. In fact, " Speaking of this, Wei Shegang smiled slightly, "Let's use the name you are accustomed to for the middle management of East Lake, and many of the technical backbones are from your side. Director Tang has said many times that without Red Star, East Lake would never be what it is today. Director Tang He is a child of Hongxing, and he has deep feelings for Hongxing. And Dong Tao is a classmate of Tang Dong. Maybe you don’t believe it, but Tang Dong has mentioned you many times in front of us and admires you very much. This can be fully proved. Haha, having said so much, it means that Donghu is willing to strengthen our cooperative relationship in all aspects. Director Tao, I thought today was a small-scale high-level retreat-style discussion. Director Tang originally wanted to talk to you personally. He specially recruited me and Yiwei back. I didn't expect you to attach so much importance to it. He suggested a comprehensive matchmaking. Tang Dong and the rest of us fully agreed. What to talk about today, how to talk, we will listen to Tao Dong. Unfortunately. Yes, Director Tang cannot accompany you because of urgent matters... Please forgive me if some matters cannot be settled on the spot."

"You're welcome, Mr. Wei." Mr. Tao took a sip from his teacup, "Although I'm a child of Red Star, I left Hiraizumi early. I've heard about the reputation of Donghu, and I'm very proud of the rise of Donghu, an excellent private enterprise in my hometown. Although I have been back for a short time, I have heard about East Lake more than once, and heard the appreciation of East Lake from my friends and colleagues. I am fortunate to be here today, and I have added to my admiration for East Lake. To be honest, East Lake has already become a place in the sea of ​​the market. Red Star got rid of it, although Donghu’s history is shorter than Red Star’s, but in terms of management and benefits, and in terms of contribution to hometown, Red Star is willing to bow down.”

Tang Yiwei answered: "Boss Tao is too modest. I have seriously learned from your experience in promoting lean management in Binjiang, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. My machinery company followed suit and started to implement lean strategies, but it didn't get the point , I have long wanted to go to Binjiang to learn Buddhist scriptures, but I have not been able to make the trip. I did not expect Mr. Tao to come back, which is great. I will definitely ask for advice in person today. If I have time, I hope Mr. Tao will come to me to give guidance..."

Tang Yiwei, who seemed quite bold, spoke a few words in an unambiguous manner.

"Mr. Tang is too polite. I am ashamed. I have only learned a little bit about lean management. Although I have not studied the management of East Lake, I know that after more than 100 years of reform and opening up, a large number of people with great management skills have emerged. Unique private enterprises, the experience of which is very useful for state-owned enterprises, especially those with a long history and heavy burdens like Red Star. In addition, the mining company led by Mr. Wei is the main customer of Red Star and my parents. The purpose of the visit is to listen to Mr. Wei and Mr. Tang’s opinions on many aspects of Red Star’s products and services sincerely, and secondly, to increase the depth and breadth of cooperation with each other..." Speaking of this, Tao Tang paused for a moment, "Just now Mr. Wei said Listen to my arrangement today, haha, I’m here to take the order. I want all the products that Red Star can make. As long as it meets my requirements, Red Star will obey whatever you ask and want.” After saying that, he pointed and sat down. The subordinates on both sides of him said, "I came to Donghu, and I didn't greet them in advance. It can be regarded as an on-site assessment of my various departments. The current situation is basically that Red Star is eating at Donghu. You are my big users and my employees. God. As for the problems in relationship quality, technology, service, etc. in the cooperation, please friends in Donghu point it out unceremoniously, so that we can improve management and service. In addition, I want to expand the scope of our cooperation to another level, The current scale of Red Star is about [-] billion. If you leave out the real estate industry, which is the pillar industry of East Lake, there is still room for deepening cooperation with East Lake Mining and East Lake Machinery at this scale. I met with the main leaders of the company and heard from them that Red Star is the largest state-owned enterprise in Hiraizumi, and East Lake is the well-deserved number one in Hiraizumi. There is no reason for the two of us not to work together in order to achieve a win-win situation.”

Tao Tang took a sip of tea from his cup and continued: "Because I have never visited and studied the East Lake, my words may not necessarily be true, but in theory there is always another possibility. Some of the products we operate may be more suitable for you. Let’s do it, some of our products can be handed over to you. If this idea is realized, we will definitely deepen our cooperative relationship and truly realize joint development. I don’t know if Mr. Wei and Mr. Tang agree or not?”

This suggestion is rather sudden.Red Star has been looking for markets and orders from East Lake, and Tao Tang is now going to give up part of the market.Red Star's guests, especially a few people in the marketing department felt a little unacceptable.

"Tao Dong is really powerful. It seems that what our Tang Dong said is right." Wei Shegang kept a warm smile, "I completely agree with Tao Dong's suggestion, and I will do as Tao Dong wants. Do you think it can be like this? How many of us First, Mr. Tang and I, you and Mr. Li and Mr. Jiang, let’s discuss the general principles of future cooperation. The rest of the friends stay here and talk about specific business issues? There are also conference rooms, and we can also meet separately .”

"I agree." Li Luo said first.

"Mr. Tao, I see Mr. Wang from the mining industry is here too. Why don't I chat with Mr. Wang about some new products? It's a rare opportunity." Jiang Shangyun said to Tao Tang.

"It's a rare opportunity to understand the situation. I don't think we need to talk about principles." Tao Tang looked at Wei Shegang and Tang Yiwei who were facing each other. Under the premise of the premise, those who are suitable for Hongxing will be handed over to Hongxing. Those suitable for Donghu will be transferred to Donghu."

"Boss Tao summed it up very well. I completely agree." Wei Shegang looked at Tang Yiwei, "Then let's stay here. What should we do next? Boss Tao, can you give me instructions?"

"I think so. Today I want to hear about the problems of Red Star products and services in the early stage of cooperation from Donghu, especially in terms of development and quality. Mr. Wei, Mr. Tang, you don't have to have any scruples, just speak openly. Tao Tang turned around and asked Zhang Xingwu who was sitting behind him for a pen and notebook, spread them out, and made a serious gesture of recording.

"Then let's mention it? Xiaoru, you say?" Wei Shegang said to his deputy Wang Xiaoru.This person is exactly Mr. Wang that Jiang Shangyun just mentioned, and he is the vice president of Donghu Mining in charge of outsourcing.

Lu Qi also opened the notebook.In fact, she didn't have any specific tasks. She couldn't figure out why Liu Xinjun dragged her here. If she insisted on talking about the business with Donghu, she would only have a little bit of contract management.But it is also a symbolic management, because the signing of the contract is in the marketing department, and the regulatory department is just reviewing and filing.Because of Li Luo's strength, the marketing department never puts other units in their eyes, including the company's first regulatory department.But today Tao Tang seemed to be in trouble with the salesman. Lu Qi noticed Li Luo's gloomy expression, and she was a little worried for Tao Tang.

"Then I'll just talk about it..." Vice President Wang Xiaoru took out a stack of papers, "Director Tao, let me make a statement first. What I talk about are all actual problems. I won't talk about the good things, because The scale of the cooperation proves the mainstream. Today, since Mr. Tao wants to listen to the real situation, I can’t live up to Mr. Tao’s trust. Now there are hundreds of supporting products from Red Star for mining companies, and the general feeling is that there are two, one It is rough, that is, there are always various small problems in product quality. Although it does not affect the performance of the major, it is uncomfortable. The second is that it is slow, especially in the development of new products, almost none of them can meet the requirements. Pass the level in one time..."

Li Luo, Jiang Shangyun, Liu Shulin, Li Meng, Chen Yongliang and others all had black lines on their heads.

Wang Xiaoru didn't care about Hongxing people's face at all, he began to list examples.Li Luo's face turned darker every time he talked about it, and Jiang Shangyun, whose hair was almost completely white, couldn't sit still.Lu Qi took the opportunity of pouring water to look at Tao Tang, and saw that he was buried in the record, with a blank expression on his face.

Li Meng, Liu Shulin, and Ren Liansheng from the technical department were sitting on pins and needles.

Wang Xiaoru's "complaint" lasted an hour and fifty minutes, and he told more than 30 "cases".

Liu Shulin finally made it to the end. During this period, he wanted to interrupt Wang Xiaoru several times to explain, but he occasionally met Tao Tang's eyes, and he was scared back and didn't dare to intervene. He must explain now, otherwise, in these failed cases Two-thirds of it he is to blame.

"Mr. Wang, let me explain. Some things are not what you said..."

"Explain what?" Tao Tang interrupted Liu Shulin, "Let me ask you, is what Mr. Wang said true?"

"The truth is the truth..."

"Then don't explain."

"Mr. Tao," Li Luo had to speak. Tao Tang made it clear that he would take the marketing department into action. If he didn't speak, the first round of this competition would be lost. "Mr. Wang pointed out the problems in our work, but In some cases, both parties are jointly responsible, for example, the information transmission is not smooth, for example, the technical agreement has not been finalized after the contract is signed... There are also inconsistencies in the inspection standards..." This explanation is difficult, because the other party pointed out that " Thick and slow” is a fact. The delay of new products can be postponed to the technical status of the other party. However, there is no way to shirk the quality and delivery period. damage their prestige.

"This explanation is very reluctant. Isn't it? User error-free is a common business philosophy. What kind of product the user wants, we must build the product. When the user wants it, we will deliver it. What can be explained? What?" Tao Tang flipped through his notebook, "Mr. Wang listed 33 problems, I think this is only a small part of them, but there are 8 problems that are not timely after-sales service. How can this be explained? Comrade Liu Shulin, you You won’t tell me that after-sales service is the responsibility of the technical department or branch of the research institute?”

Wei Shegang hurriedly said, "Director Tao, Xiaoru also said just now that he didn't talk about the good side, but just listed some problems. I believe your company will improve...It's getting late, I have already arranged a lunch, yes Shouldn't we have dinner first? Take a break after dinner and talk in the afternoon?"

Tao Tang looked at his watch, "There is no need for the banquet, I think there must be a staff canteen in East Lake, right? We are also rectifying the management of the canteen recently, just to learn from it. Don't be polite to me, let alone Old Tang, if Director Tang blamed the two of you, and blamed it on me."

"How can this be done?" Tang Yiwei exclaimed.

"Why not? Didn't Mr. Wei just say that I will arrange it? Besides, there is no rest at noon, and we will continue to do it. But Mr. Wei and Mr. Tang don't need to be with you. You two have a lot of things, I know. After dinner, I want to solve it." One specific thing is the signing of the contract. According to my people, we still have nearly 4 million things that have reached an agreement but have not been officially signed. I think, let’s do this without any major problems. ? If I have enough time, I would like to go to a mechanical company of my brother to study. I feel that there is a basis for cooperation between us. If there is no time, let it go and find a good opportunity. We are in the same city, so to speak Come on, it's not a big deal."

"Yes." Wei Shegang immediately said, "The reason why the contract was not signed is mainly due to differences in price. There seems to be no other obstacles. Isn't that right?" He turned to Wang Xiaoru.

"Yes, mainly the price." Wang Xiaoru pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Price shouldn't be the main issue. Mr. Li, is there a big gap?"

"The price is estimated by the financial department, not under the management of marketing. If the financial department does not approve it, there is nothing we can do..."

Lu Qi knew, and everyone except Tao Tang knew that Li Luo's main opponent in the team was chief accountant Han Zhiyong, and he still didn't miss this opportunity...

"Director Zuo," Tao Tang suddenly asked Zuo Yun, "Do you know the price of this part of the order?"

"Basically clear."

"That's good. If the gap does not exceed 10%, sign according to Donghu's quotation. If it exceeds 10%, re-calculate. Mr. Wei, the calculation time will not exceed a week."

"Okay, it's better for Tao Dongshuang." Wei Shegang saw some clues, "I also express my opinion. If there is a big gap, we will do it again. If you are in charge, you can mention it. Just mention it. Don't look at the monk's face. Looking at the Buddha's face, Director Tao is a good friend of the boss."

Wei Shegang had his own calculations, and the several million profits were nothing compared to the direction of the big ship in East Lake.Since Tao Tang is in a hurry to get the order, let's take it, "Chairman Tao is refreshing, I can't be stingy anymore. My brother-in-law has explained it before, and his original words are that the Red Star is no longer the original Red Star. So, I'm still here. Draw up a list, which is not within the original three hundred million. If Director Tao is interested, you can take a look."

"That's great! In a word, thank you."

"You're being polite? Mr. Tao, I think you don't care about these specific matters this afternoon. My brother never cares about it. You should learn from him, haha," Tang Yiwei grinned, "How about going to my place to see?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll leave the contract to you this afternoon. I'll go to Mr. Tang's Donghu Machine Learning, and you organize the signing of the contract." After Tao Tang explained to Li Luo, he turned to Jiang Shangyun and said, "Jiang Boss, we shouldn't disappoint Boss Wei's kindness."
