Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 72 The Tiger Crosses the River 4
Master Zhao did not expect that he would receive a call from Robert.

After the usual pleasantries, when Robert asked him if Tiger asked him for money because of Gao Lin's going abroad, Mr. Zhao knew that he could no longer remain silent and had to make a choice.

Mr. Zhao didn't fully understand many things. If Tiger wants to add new agents, he will inevitably re-divide the area and allocate some of them to these new agents. These are unacceptable to him.After all, according to Tianshi's strength, the current area is not enough, how could it be distributed to others, so he is willing to stand with Li Wenyu to protect his own interests.

But the biggest problem here is that "standing with Li Wenyu", Mihe has the greatest interest in the division of SKydon's business, a very unfair interest for him and Tianshi.But standing with Li Wenyu means that he is protecting Mihe's interests at the same time.

He admired Li Wenyu's foresight and foresight, but he felt more resentful. Could it be that someone is born a winner?No matter what happened, they occupied the most favorable high point early, but they had to follow.

He suddenly remembered Zhang Yong's similar sigh, and felt a little angry in his heart. He was an entrepreneur, not a politician. He wanted to fight for his legitimate rights, but found that he could only do so through some unscrupulous means.

"Robert, Gao Lin went abroad to study. I did give a sum of money, but Tiger didn't ask me directly, it was arranged by James, but I believe it was Tiger's intention..."

"I think Tiger's biggest problem is that it doesn't put SKydon's interests first, and has too many considerations of its own. This is true whether it is the division of business at the beginning or the new agents now. But Tiger has achieved success in China. Its achievements are obvious to all, and today’s problems may require you and SKydon to intervene to supervise.”

This answer seemed to be what Robert wanted, but it didn't seem to be. He asked, "So it is a fact that Tiger took your money to send Gao Lin to study abroad?"

"It's a fact, but no one told me directly. Robert, I prepared a detailed report explaining the current situation of the Chinese market and the division of SKydon's business. I want to send it to you. I think we should be more reasonable to divide the business in China."

"Such as adding more agents in China?" Robert, who was not very happy, asked back, and Master Zhao was speechless.

"I'm joking, George, please send it to me. Thank you for your report. I will read it when I have time. There are some abnormalities in the Chinese market now. The top priority is to bring everything back to normal order. Then, Maybe I'll go to China in person and talk to you face to face about your concerns."

"That's great, I sincerely welcome you to come."

"I'll go, George. James has a document that reflects Tiger's problems. You'd better sign it together."

"Okay, I will sign." Robert on the other end of the phone couldn't see Master Zhao's expression of helplessness and anger.

……

……

The orders for the third quarter arrived as promised, basically in line with Zhang Yong's forecast. Although it was not enough to make up for the gap in the previous two quarters, at least the tasks for this quarter were achievable.

Tiger felt a lot more comfortable. This performance did not include orders from the Northern Company. Then in the fourth quarter, there were orders from the Northern Company, plus orders from two new agents. As Zhang Yong said, even if Li Wenyu and the others did not help If he overstocks, then his performance won't be too much of a problem.

Performance is always the heaviest weight on the balance. Once this is resolved, he can solve other problems with peace of mind.He felt more and more sensible. If it wasn't for the addition of these two agents, everything would be difficult to go smoothly this year.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned on his boss chair as comfortably as possible. Yes, he is a natural winner. After all, he is the GNSS boss in China. Even Robert can’t stop him from doing what he wants to do. hold him.

There was a knock on the door, and the person who came without being notified by the front desk should be one of his own. He answered, "Please come in," and then his face became ugly, and Li Wenyu walked in.

"Tiger, can I have a few minutes with you?"

"I'll have a conference call later, Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I'll keep it simple. Liu Yang from Tianke has been making trouble in our area recently, always saying that he is the first-level agent of SKydon, and the users are panicked. We don't know if it's true or not. We have been trying to communicate with him, but we didn't come. Excuse me, but the situation is a bit serious recently, he actually went to the North Company. You know, the North is still Skydon's largest account, if there is a problem with the business here, neither Mihe nor you, I'm afraid we can't afford it. "

"Oh, it's Liu Yang's business. Mr. Li, just when you came up, let's have a formal chat. Of course, internal competition is not good. Our internal problems should not let users bear the consequences. But let me tell you clearly that SKydon is increasing agents Businesses come to seek new growth, and Tianke is one of the objects of our investigation. In order to avoid internal competition, do you see if it is possible to set aside some areas in advance and give them to Tianke, so that we will have no problems."

Li Wenyu didn't expect Tiger to make such a request so directly.He sneered in his heart, did he really think that Skydon belonged to your Long family?
"It's not impossible for Mihe to give up the area. But what is the basis? Our current area and business are written in the agency agreement. Unless Skydon has official documents, there is no reason for me to give it up to him now. Tiger, Liu Yang has always been my second-level agent, and it was completely supported by us. Is it a little unethical for Skydon to sign him directly without us. And this is not helpful to Skydon’s business at all. What they took away was rice He already has an existing business. I think there is a problem with your way of adding new agents?"

"Mihe has the best region in the world, but its performance for two consecutive quarters has been far below expectations, and even half of it has not been achieved. This is a problem." Tiger did not back down.

"Tiger, I know there are some misunderstandings between us now. In fact, half a year ago, we were still cooperating harmoniously. Look, is there any possibility that we can still cooperate as before?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Tiger's mouth, "Okay, it's very simple, you hand over the Northern Company, and then give Liu Yang two provinces, including his seaport oilfield project this time, and we will continue to work together as usual."

"No way," Li Wenyu finally couldn't bear it anymore. He said a sentence in English. He knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Tiger, and it could only be a life-and-death war.

He stood up, "Northern Company, can you stop Liu Yang from making trouble? This is Skydon's most important business, and if something goes wrong, we will all be in trouble."

"Okay, I will consider the north."

"Thank you. Do you really think you can do these things? Robert and Skydon will let it go and let you act like this in China?"

"Everything I do is in the interests of Skydon. Of course Skydon will support me, and Robert has never objected to my process of increasing agents. If my performance reaches the target at the end of the year, Robert has no excuse to prevent me from cutting Mihe. Business. Wen Yu,"

Tiger slowed down his tone, and changed his address to Li Wenyu from the cold Mr. Li to Wenyu, "I am still the person in charge of SKydon China, and I have the final say here. I also want to do what you say." , we will continue to cooperate well. But everything is subject to my arrangement, and I can even leave the northern company to you. For example, we can set up a new company together and take out the bidding of central enterprises such as the northern and Beijing ministries and commissions. My whole The resources and manpower of the representative office are also yours. Don’t you think it’s not good for us to fight for greater interests together?”

Li Wenyu sighed deeply, "Mr. Long, when you can really secure this seat, you can say whatever you want. I'll go down first, goodbye." Turning around and striding out.

……

……

This was Zhang Yong's most embarrassing moment. Not only did Tiger not listen to his advice, but he still went to the Haigang Oilfield, and he and Gao Lin were also brought along.

For the arrival of the person in charge of Skydon China, the users still have great respect, but Liu Yang, who is with Tiger and his party, is completely elated.

He first introduced the relevant leaders of Haigang Oilfield, and then introduced Tiger and his team to users. When he introduced Zhang Yong, he said, "This Zhang is always the technical director of skydon China and the director of reference station business. He is the director of SKydon China. No. [-] person." The other party immediately praised "Mr. Zhang is young and promising", Zhang Yong tried his best to behave normally, but his face was slightly hot, he has not been called Mr. Zhang yet.

At this time, he discovered Tiger's strengths. He is personable, responsive, coupled with his elegant clothes, and a charming female assistant beside him, he quickly gained the other party's approval.

The technical exchange session was the only moment when Zhang Yong felt comfortable. He gave a systematic and complete explanation of SKydon products and answered some technical questions from users.It's a pity that this link didn't take long, because users had long recognized Skydon, and Liu Yang invited Tiger to clear his name.

At the end of the technical session, Mr. Wu from Haigang Oilfield praised Tiger: "Mr. Long has a lot of talents under his command. Both Ms. Gao and Mr. Zhang are young talents. I admire you."

Tiger smiled and nodded, "Our people are all for you."

Mr. Wu nodded, "Mr. Long, on behalf of our oilfield leaders, I would like to extend my welcome to you and his party. Your visit is very important this time. I don't know if you know that we are going to purchase Skydon equipment, but where to purchase it has always been a problem."

Liu Yang interrupted triumphantly, "Mr. Wu, don't worry this time. Mr. Long is here, don't you still trust me?"

"Mr. Liu, don't mind. We are a formal state-owned enterprise, and we still have very high requirements for the formality of procurement. You have been using the authorization from Mihe before. Now Mihe has issued a document saying that your authorization is invalid. We It is really impossible to purchase from you. But unexpectedly, SKydon will support you directly. Mr. Long, can you explain the business division and agency structure in China? We are indeed a little confused when the purchase is approaching. "

Tiger still maintained his proper demeanor, "Mr. Wu, I can assure you that Mr. Liu's channel is absolutely legal, and Skydon will also be responsible for its after-sales service and technical support. China is developing, and SKydon will also With the changes, we will always have some business adjustments, and some changes have not been fed back to users in a timely manner, which is our responsibility, and we apologize to you."

"Where to say, where to say, you are too polite. You are the first generation in China, and we are very honored to come and explain to us face to face."

Gao Lin said aside: "Mr. Wu, as Tiger just said, Skydon has some business adjustments. It was normal for Mr. Liu to hold Mihe's authorization before, but because of Mr. Liu's outstanding performance, in this year's agency adjustment , we will increase Mr. Liu's seat, and he will become our official agent. Although there are still many procedures to be processed, and the agency agreement also needs to be prepared by SKydon's legal department, the identities of Tianke and Mr. Liu are completely legal. You can rest assured."

Mr. Wu said: "Miss Gao, if Mr. Liu's official agency agreement has not been signed, can the SKydon representative office give us an authorization from Tianke to clarify his identity."

Tiger nodded, "Okay, we have no problem with this."

Liu Yang said: "Mr. Wu, I said earlier that I could obtain the authorization of SKydon, but you said that the authorization is of little significance. Why do you want to obtain the authorization now?"

"It's different. At the beginning you and Mi He talked about each other, and Mi He also had a formal authorization. We can't be sure if you use the authorization. Now Mr. Long is here," said this, he glanced at Zhang Yong, and added "There's also Mr. Zhang," said Zhang Yong, feeling extremely tormented.

"They are all here, and they can prove your legitimacy. At this time, I want to authorize, but I just need a formal document for the record."

……

The hospitable oilfield people arranged a sumptuous dinner, Mr. Wu took the chief seat, and pulled Tiger to sit next to him.After several toasts, the atmosphere immediately reached its peak.

The only one who didn't fit in was our young Mr. Zhang. Even so, when he found that Tiger was too strong to drink, he stood in front of the boss and drank a few glasses for Tiger.

Back in the hotel room, Zhang Yong just turned on the computer when he received a call from Liu Yang.

"The boss has already rested, what are you doing? I'll take you out for a walk and introduce you to some pretty girls."

"Forget it, Mr. Liu, I'm not interested and I'm tired."

"I don't think you're very happy all day. What's your situation?"

"I'm fine, I'm just tired."

"Brother, tell me if you have anything to say. I think the boss trusts you the most. We will come and go frequently in the future. Brother, I still need your help."

Hearing "The boss trusts you the most", Zhang Yong smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Liu, let me advise you. If the deal with Haigang Oilfield can be concluded, sign the contract as soon as possible. As for the order, quickly apply to Tiger. If the order is not so fast, you can consider getting the goods from Mihe first. No It is necessary to be in a difficult situation with the business, and there is no need to only care about the profit of this order. Once your agency agreement is smoothed out, the Skydon business will still have a good profit.”

Liu Yang had already drunk too much, he didn't hear the meaning of Zhang Yong's words, he thought Zhang Yong was still persuading him to cooperate with Mi He, "Grandma, Wei Shao is a perfidious kid, I help him fight the world, but he plots against me, we What the hell, I won't cooperate with you in this life. Forget it, if you don't want to go out to pick up girls, go to bed early."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yong sighed, he had done what he had to do, and he wished everyone the best of luck.

After saying goodnight to Madam who was far away in Beijing, Zhang Yong continued to look at his computer.

Seeing a new email, he clicked on it, rubbed his eyes, and made sure that he read it correctly, but the letter came from Karl who had not been contacted for a long time and had already faded out.
