Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 34 Northern Company
Zhang Hong once again scolded Zhang Yong on the phone. She thought that the success rate of this blind date should be [-]%. This was the first girl Zhang Yong was willing to meet, and Liu Fang seemed to always miss Zhang Yong. Knowing that a pair of childhood sweethearts will also meet the light and die.What an excellent girl Liu Fang is, so the problem must be her incomprehensible younger brother.

To her surprise, Zhang Yong didn't talk back or hang up the phone, but said to her in an extremely joyful tone, "Thank you my sister, you are so kind! May God bless you to marry soon. I love you to death." Zhang Hong was stunned, did he call him stupid?

Professor Xiaowei and Tian came to the engineering center with two foreigners from Techtech, and received a not-so-grand but formal reception. Roy and Smart gave a presentation on their products, and Professor Tian served as an interpreter , the atmosphere of the whole exchange meeting is very friendly.

Even Smart had to admit that Xiaowei might still be a bastard, but he was definitely a capable bastard. Without Xiaowei, it would be impossible for them to enter this door.

As for the only bright spot of the Titanium instrument, under the control of Xiaowei and the translation of Professor Hetian, it successfully attracted the attention of the other party.

The exchange meeting ended, and the two foreigners returned satisfied, but Xiao Wei was stopped by Deputy Director Qin of the center.

"Xiaowei, what are you doing?"

"Director, let's have a technical exchange, look how strong the academic atmosphere is today."

"Don't pretend to be confused. When you came here at the beginning of the year, you boasted that Skydon seemed to be our only choice. The data center and your people, by the way, your young man, Zhang Yong, worked hard together for several months , In the end, you didn’t submit anything, but now you brought people from Techtech, what exactly do you want to do?”

Xiaowei looked calm and even a little innocent, "As a user, isn't it better for you to have more choices? At the beginning of the year, I thought SKydon was very good. Later, I found that Titanium might be better, so I brought them to you. , for you to compare and choose. Look, there are so many companies in the circle, which one can take care of you like me."

Director Qin really wanted to punch Xiaowei in the face, but he held back, "Since we are given a choice, it must be fair and just. You haven't handed in the Skydon test report, what's going on?"

Xiaowei showed a surprised expression, "Really? How could this happen, Director, I'll go back and ask Professor Tian and Zhang Yong, this is too irresponsible."

"You don't act for me so much," the director finally couldn't help but swear, "Xiaowei, I really don't know what you want to do, if you don't want to push SKydon, why don't you just give up and do something?" Years of work. This achievement report is the painstaking effort of both of us, don't you feel sorry for yourself?"

"Distressed?" Xiaowei's attitude at this moment is actually sincere. He doesn't know what distress is, and he rarely has such an experience in his life. "Distress is hard to avoid sometimes. When I sign a contract, I often sign it in tears." This is Xiaowei's reaction. When he doesn't know what to say, his brain will automatically fill in a sentence that sounds good. joke.

"Xiaowei, to be honest, I've known you for so many years, but I never liked you."

"It's okay, Director. As long as you like my products, I will serve you as always."

Director Qin turned around and left in a huff.

In the coffee shop of the New Century Hotel, Li Wenyu and Wei Shao were waiting for Tiger's arrival.

On the way, Gao Lin asked Tiger why he didn't talk to Master Zhao more. Tiger replied, "I already know what Tianshi can do, but I still can't see through this Li Wenyu. This time, I hope he can give us a satisfactory appearance."

Li Wenyu will be in his 30s, but he looks older than his actual age, with an ordinary and well-behaved image.But when Wei Shao, who has always been radiant, sat next to him, his brilliance would dim a lot, and people's attention would be on Li Wenyu first.

That's how Tiger feels now, "Mr. Li, I've heard you famous for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Tiger, welcome to Beijing. If you have time, I'll be the host at noon, and we'll have something to eat here." Li Wenyu was not like other Chinese people. He called Tiger directly. He was very friendly but never lost his manners. , and this approach gave Tiger a very good impression.

"Mr. Li, there is no rush to eat. I wonder if there is anything more attractive than delicious food to look at."

"I know you are very pragmatic, so I don't want to waste any of your time. I won't tell you more about the company. I believe Gao Lin must have a lot of information about us. I'm not wrong, Miss Gao."

Gao Lin smiled. She was always quiet around Tiger, "There must not be enough, otherwise we wouldn't need to visit you in person today."

"You are welcome." Li Wenyu turned to Tiger again, "Today we only talk about the future, what we can help SKydon and what we can do for you. If I just promise empty words, I will inevitably lack sincerity, so I introduced a few friends to You, the first one should be here soon."

"Who?"

"Mr. Wei, deputy director of the Northern Company's surveying and mapping center."

Tiger frowned slightly, "Deputy director of the center? What level?"

Li Wenyu realized Tiger's thoughts, "The level is very low, probably a sub-department. But you have stayed in the United States for too long, and when you come back, you are in a big city like Beijing. Here is the emperor who is not a big man. But in fact , in a local area, a section chief has enough power. Today, Mr. Wei may not be the one who finally decides to sign the contract, but he basically has the final say on the purchase of GPS equipment. In fact, this type of equipment is in the Northern Company is a small contract, and the big shots don't care about it."

"That is to say, if he nods, we can take over all of Xiaowei's business."

"Yes, but you need to come forward. After all, they have done business with Xiaowei for many years, and they have a long-term friendship."

Mr. Wei is very straightforward, with both the boldness of an oilman and the rigor of a surveyor.

"Mr. Long, our center will not only buy equipment from one company. This is our principle. So now we have about five brands of equipment, and Skydon is the brand with the highest proportion. I just reported to the leader. The five brands are too scattered, there are many problems in management, and maintenance of spare parts is also troublesome, so we plan to remove some brands according to the actual performance in the past few years, and finally only keep two.”

"You mean, the number of Skydon purchases will increase in the future?"

Mr. Wei glanced at him, "Mr. Long, I didn't say that there must be Skydon among the retained brands, but if there is, it must be increasing. Considering our business expansion, it may increase by about 50.00%. But..."

"... Mr. Li told me about your situation, but I still don't understand. What is the relationship between you and Xiaowei?"

"SKydon will set up a representative office in China. I will be the first chief representative in China. We represent Skydon directly. Xiaowei's Tiangong is one of our agents. It is still there at present, but whether the agency agreement with him continues, yes I want what I'm thinking about right now."

"With all due respect, Mr. Long, do you know Lei? Isn't he the Asia-Pacific director of SKydon? If you are a representative office, then Lei should be your superior, right? Xiaowei and Lei visited the center not long ago Invited our leader, Lei said that he will move the Asian headquarters to Beijing, and currently, he is working in the office of Tiangong. …”

"...Wait for me to finish," Mr. Wei waved his hand to stop Tiger who was about to speak, "I don't believe you, and Mr. Li and we are old friends for many years. I am ashamed to say that we have rarely bought Li General equipment, but the number of times we see Mr. Li in a year is several times more than the number of times we see Xiaowei. So, we definitely don’t mind working with Mr. Li, and the Skydon equipment is also our favorite. Said To be honest, we are not particularly satisfied with Tiangong’s service. However, we are a formal state-owned enterprise, even if we buy unsatisfactory equipment, we will never make mistakes in purchasing and buy products from informal channels. Please understand.”

Tiger was very angry. He didn't expect that Lei would dare to bluff and cheat publicly with Xiaowei. Wouldn't he be held legally responsible?
"Mr. Wei, first, our representative office is in the process of registration, but if necessary, I can ask the SKydon headquarters to issue an authorization to me personally. If it involves procurement, I can still ask the SKydon headquarters to authorize the company to cooperate with you . . . ”

"As for Ray, when did he visit you?"

Mr. Wei opened his notepad and checked his schedule, "It should be on the 25th of last month."

"Let me show you SKydon's internal notice. Ray resigned from the company two weeks before visiting you. Of course, resignation is a euphemism. We will use such wording when senior executives of his level leave the company. But in fact, Ray was fired by us. He was no longer a Skydon person when he was with you."

Mr. Wei carefully read Tiger's documents and confirmed that everything was really sent from Skydon.Li Wenyu told him about these things, and he believed Li Wenyu, but he didn't dare to make a decision without real evidence.Both Xiaowei and Lei are frequent visitors to the Surveying and Mapping Center. Although Xiaowei's visits have become less and less frequent in the past few years, so far, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary.

"Mr. Long, if this information is true, I will report it to the leader. Does Xiaowei really have the courage? If he even deceives us, then even if Skydon supports him, we will not buy his things again.  … ..."

"...Then who will we contact for our purchases in the future? Should I go to Mr. Li directly? But I must see the official authorization from SKydon to Mr. Li. Sorry, Mr. Li, friends are friends, these procedures are really sloppy."

Li Wenyu smiled and nodded to express his understanding, but he was silently waiting for Tiger's reply. Although it was unlikely, he wanted to hear Tiger's affirmative reply.

Sure enough, Tiger pointed to the beautiful woman beside him, "Mr. Wei, this is my assistant Gao Lin. I just came to China, and many things have not been confirmed. You can contact Gao Lin directly for your purchases. But the representative office is not an entity. We will not do business directly, after everything is confirmed, Gao Lin will introduce our authorized dealers to you."

Li Wenyu was a little disappointed, but he could accept that it was impossible for Tiger to give him such an important business at the first meeting. At least, he had a very good start now.

Mr. Wei said goodbye and left. Tiger looked at the time, "Mr. Li, do you still have friends to introduce to me?"

"Yes, he should be here soon."

"Who is this time?"

"Mr. Chen, Director of the Data Center of the Engineering Center of the National Bureau."

"Engineering center, base station network project?" Tiger, who had been communicating with President Wei in a calm manner, now his voice trembled slightly because of the excitement in his heart.

　Double update today, no night update in the future, thank you all.

　　This!
