Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 91 The "Circle" of Turmoil

Another sales meeting at Skydon China, John heard Zhang Yong's name inexplicably.

"Gentlemen, am I hallucinating? This guy has been gone for a year and I honestly can't remember what he looks like. So I don't understand why he's now the reason for our slow growth this quarter .If it’s a reference station business, I’d rather accept it. You know that he has been in Skydon for three years and has hardly been involved in other businesses other than reference stations. Skydon’s growth in the past few years has nothing to do with him. Can not accept."

Liu Yang looked embarrassed.His PPT was carefully prepared by his subordinates. In addition to the most important data, there are also summaries and explanations.In the part of competitor analysis, the subordinates may admire Zhang Yong too much, and regard Zhang Yong's joining Eka as one of the reasons why the opponent becomes stronger.

Feng Yun actually didn't translate this one for Liu Yang, but unfortunately John was too familiar with the word on the screen, so he pointed it out right away.

Li Wenyu smiled teasingly, he didn't want to explain anything to Liu Yang.

In the end, Master Zhao said, "Zhang Yong really didn't play a big role in Skydon, because everything runs smoothly on our side, and his personal role is not very big. Unlike Eka, they are powerful and have a rich product line, so the agent Businessmen are generally more proud, and they still have the mentality of "it is your honor to buy Eka", and have not put much effort into the promotion of GNSS products. Zhang Yong is not a superhero. If he just goes out to make orders, he may not be able to surpass I am a salesman, but he is a person who can solve problems. He must be able to find out the problems of Eka and solve them. What Liu Yang said is actually the truth. Eka is now much stronger in GNSS sales. The main change is actually in In terms of attitude. Eka’s equipment is already indistinguishable from SKydon, and its user base is better than ours. Once we start doing our best like us, it’s really hard to deal with...”

"But I said this part does not include Tianshi's territory..." Master Zhao changed his tone, "We have already dug Tianshi's territory deeply, even if Eka is much stronger now, it will definitely not affect us. "

This sentence is proud, but the tone is extremely sincere. Coupled with Mr. Zhao's honest face, people don't feel the meaning of challenge, but just feel that he is telling a fact.

One second Liu Yang wanted to bow to Master Zhao, thanking him for his help, and the next second he started cursing directly in his stomach. Damn, after talking for a long time, he still praised himself.

Zhang Yong is a knot in John's heart, and the name makes him feel frustrated.One of his first tasks when he came to China was to expel him. Who would have thought that the other party accepted it calmly, but he was the one who repented.Under the pressure, he applied to Paul to let Zhang Yong come back, who would have thought that Zhang Yong left by himself after just one month.

So a year later, when he suddenly heard this name at his own meeting, he lost control of his emotions slightly.

"Okay, even if that's the case. Don't substitute any personal factors into our analysis in the future. George, congratulations on getting the contract of the reference station system in Zhejiang Province. How many networks is this Skydon?"

"We've already won three networks this year."

John finally showed a little smile, three networks a year, which is no longer the same as Zhang Yong and M University built one network in three years.

"Where's Eka?"

"Eka won a network in Shandong, and Zhang Yong personally led people to bid."

John was slightly annoyed that he had heard the name again. "We're still far ahead, aren't we?"

"Yes, but there is a little difference." Master Zhao today seemed determined not to make John too happy.

"Where is it different?"

"It took us several years of deep cultivation before it began to bear fruit. In fact, it only took Zhang Yong and Eka one year to build a network from scratch, which is far more efficient than ours."

"Efficient?" Li Wenyu suddenly interjected, "It's just standing on the shoulders of giants. Zhang Yong used the foundation laid in SKydon to go to Eka to win a contract. There is nothing to praise, it's just an act of betrayal."

Shandong is Mihe's business scope, and Mihe's Shandong branch made an all-out attack, but it still didn't stop Zhang Yong from winning the city. He didn't like hearing about it.

But when both John and Li Wenyu tried to discuss other topics, Mr. Zhao was completely unmoved.

"Not only that, but the Shandong project has special significance."

John tried his best to control his emotions, "George, time is limited, let's move on to other topics."

Mr. Zhao looked at his watch seriously with a loyal face, "Yes, then I only need one minute."

Someone chuckled, it was Rebecca, she quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth.

"Shandong's project is not a regular provincial bureau, but a prefectural bureau. This has two meanings. First, Eka has never entered the crustal monitoring industry before, but now Zhang Yong has broken us by relying on the reference station system." This is a very unfavorable thing for us. Second, Zhang Yong's ambition is probably far more than that."

John got serious. He finally realized that some things cannot be avoided. "Go on, George."

"This project will definitely increase Eka's competitiveness in the engineering center project. I guess once the Shandong network is in operation, the data will be connected to the engineering center immediately, and Mr. Chen from the data center will immediately report the data. This is the first-hand reality of users. Observational data is far more convincing than the demo data we provide, or the test data arranged separately. Once the second phase of the engineering center is launched, Eka may take the lead over SKydon. I think Zhang Yong’s plan will continue.”

John was already tense and didn't care if he heard the name again.

"What else? What did Zhang Yong do?"

"I guess, he will continue to attack local bureaus everywhere. This area was once unbreakable in our hands, so some of our companies will inevitably be careless, and he took advantage of this opportunity to start from this area that we think is the most difficult. It easily broke through our defense line. The reference station network we thought of before was just a business model of network services plus mobile stations. Zhang Yong clearly wanted to use this network to break the boundaries of surveying and mapping and let non-mainstream surveying and mapping users enter the surveying and mapping market , disrupt our current layout. And use the network base station technology to collect the project of the engineering center. We have always felt that the network base station has no practical significance for the crustal detection of the engineering center. This thinking mode limits us, and this opportunity was stolen by Zhang Yong. Already..."

"It can be said that if the engineering center phase II is called for bidding within one month, the chances of Eka winning the bid are much higher than ours."

John shrank his neck involuntarily, as if the bidding within a month was a fact, although he knew in his heart that it would take a year or two to happen.

"James, do you agree with George?"

Li Wenyu was a little bit embarrassed. He could play Tiger with applause, and he could also make John Paul very happy.However, he knew that he was inferior to Mr. Zhao in this kind of analysis of the overall situation of the business. Mr. Zhao made it very clear, and he couldn't disagree.Liu Yang is a master who doesn't want to use his brain to do business, and Liang Hui is brave and resourceful, but it is obvious that he and Master Zhao are on the same front.

"I think what George said makes sense, but it's just a Shandong province, so we don't need to make a fuss and mess around. The engineering center project is still early, and I guess it will take about two years to actually start. We still have time, since the land X Most of the rounds are still in our hands, we are now starting to strengthen our defenses, and we will not give Zhang Yong any more chances."

Mr. Zhao said bluntly, "Maybe Eka will soon have a second reference station project for the local bureau."

These words hit everyone's hearts like a depth bomb.

"Where? George, where?"

Master Zhao shook his head calmly, "We can't take over if we're not in Tianshi's territory." When he said this, he turned his attention to Li Wenyu.

For the first time, Li Wenyu panicked in front of Master Zhao. He found that he couldn't handle Master Zhao's moves today.Damn it, he cursed fiercely in his heart, damn Zhang Yong.

With Zhang Yong's departure, Mihe has added a strong opponent, which is beneficial to Tianshi, which is something he never expected.

John said sternly: "Everyone, in view of some new situations raised by George. Let's stop all other topics first, and first have a discussion on Eka's reference station network and the Phase II project of the Engineering Center. I need everyone's input."

The venue suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Wenyu said, "George must not have finished talking. Is there any information to share?"

Mr. Zhao turned to John, "I think it's time to put the reference station network and the second phase of the engineering center on our work schedule. It is recommended to set up a business team to take charge of this matter. The representative office will send someone to take the lead, and the agents will Select members to participate. For Tianshi, we are willing to join forces with Mihe to form a strong combination and work together for the Phase II project. Otherwise, we may really lose to Eka.”

Li Wenyu sneered, and said in Chinese: "Old Zhao, what a shrewd calculation. After all the calculations, it still counts on Mihe's business. Want to participate in the Phase II project? I'm afraid you are not that capable. Do you know the leader of the General Administration several?"

He turned to John, "Shandong is the business scope of Mihe. The Shandong project was taken away by Eka, and Mihe is willing to take responsibility. But the engineering center, Mihe has been closely tracking, and they have contacts from top to bottom. They usually do not have daily purchases. , all this is a long-term investment business that won’t see a return for a few years. Mihe didn’t make any mistakes in the engineering center project mountain, so we don’t need help from other companies. Good reminder by George, let us be clearer Knowing the situation, we will strengthen our defenses and will not let Zhang Yong take more. If I need help from George and other companies, I will ask for it at that time."

Mr. Zhao was unmoved, "The second phase of the project is far bigger than the first phase. I don't think one company can afford it. The SKydon team must be united. Everything is still led by the representative office. It is better for everyone to act in a unified way." .”

"OK, all right," John said helplessly. He found that no matter what happened now, it would always involve the dispute between Mihe and Tianshi.

"Feng Yun, Li Kefei, please remember, arrange a time this week. Let's hold an internal meeting to discuss the second phase of the project. You all prepare yourself, and then we will re-schedule the meeting with all the agents..."

"Okay, let's move on to the next topic."

……

The meeting ended with a lot of unresolved issues, Master Zhao and Liang would smoke and chat together in the courtyard.

"Not everyone said that Eka's relationship is difficult to deal with. There is no GNSS manager who can sit for two years. How come Zhang Yong seems to be at home."

"It's too early to say, it's only been a year. With Zhang Yong's character, it's normal to achieve such an achievement. Eka has all kinds of resources, and it's the best. But people don't like to do things, which is a common problem of big companies. And those who do things will consider the relationship between Eric and Lawrence, and will carefully avoid all kinds of taboos, what can be done and what can't be touched. But does Zhang Yong care about these? He evaluates whether a thing should be done or not, It's all about the matter itself. So others can't do what they don't dare to do, and he did it easily. I guess..."

Mr. Zhao stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, raised his head and looked into the distance, it seemed that Zhang Yong was on the other side.

"I guess, he himself will be a little puzzled. Isn't the relationship here easy to handle? It's quite simple, and things are simple."

A simple and honest smile appeared on his face.

Liang Hui nodded, "Mr. Zhao, your eye for knowing people is really first-rate. I think you understand him better than Zhang Yong himself."

……

……

Zhang Yong's status in Eka is getting higher and higher, which does not only mean that the status is stable with the stable performance.Another reason is that he has almost become the veteran of the office just a year ago.

Every time I come back from a business trip, there are almost personnel changes. Old people leave and new people come in. The monthly meeting is always accompanied by a welcome party.

Eric's cleaning of the office only started after Zhang Yong's arrival.

Zhang Yong miraculously reached an agreement with Yaxu. After the GNSS and reference station business gained stable support, Eric had enough capital and courage to start "de-Lawrenceization".

This is actually very similar to when John took office, except that John only wanted to purge Zhang Yong at the time, while Eric wanted to purge most people other than Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong didn't like this, but he couldn't change anything, he could only watch, say goodbye to old colleagues and shake hands with new colleagues one by one.

He bumped into A Yang in the tea room and asked casually, "Who left?"

"Dongzi, Lao Qi, and Jack."

"All three left?" Zhang Yong was a little puzzled, Eric's methods seemed to be getting tougher.Not the guy who would go to the Skydon meeting and recruit him himself.He shook his head, refusing to think too much. This is the boss who has been kind to him, and he also refused to comment.Forget it, let's do our own thing.

When he was about to return to his office, he saw a woman standing beside Ma Xiaoqing's work station, chatting passionately with Xiaoqing.I can't see a woman's face, but I have a pretty good figure. I hear the voice as a newcomer. It seems that I will appear at the monthly meeting this month.

Zhang Yong instinctively doesn't like this woman he hasn't met yet, because her voice reveals a kind of insincere intimacy, as if she can be close to you as a family right away.He didn't believe in it, and he didn't like to abuse it in the office.

Ma Xiaoqing called him at the beginning and said that he had left Tianshi and wanted to find a job with him. He was overjoyed as he was in urgent need of employment, and immediately agreed.And Ma Xiaoqing is indeed very capable. For the Shandong project, he directly threw Ma Xiaoqing to Jinan, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing except on weekends.Xiaoqing contributed the most to winning the bid.For this project, Eric personally invited him and Ma Xiaoqing to have a French meal as a reward.

He asked Ma Xiaoqing why he left Tianshi, and Xiaoqing said that Tianshi people worked so hard, working day and night, and although they made a lot of money, it was too hard.Besides salary, other benefits and benefits of private companies are far worse than those of foreign companies. He wants to change his environment.In addition, he is more used to working with Zhang Yong.

Now Zhang Yong saw that Ma Xiaoqing was chatting frivolously with that woman, his voice gradually became louder, feeling slightly displeased, he coughed lightly twice.

Ma Xiaoqing's voice immediately lowered, and the woman turned around immediately.

Zhang Yong saw a face full of spring, and a pair of eyes with curved hooks like the waning moon but with spring water flowing.

This face is undoubtedly beautiful, and it seems to be far inferior to Gao Linfang Shu's level, but for ordinary men, it may be a more alluring face.

If you have to say that this face has any flaws, this face is not the oval face in traditional Chinese aesthetics, but a round face, and it is so smooth that it is 360 degrees without dead ends.And Zhang Yong, a straight man who has always lacked interest, did not see the spring in his eyes, only this kind of circle.He muttered to himself, "Like a fruit plate."
