pinnacle of power

Tom Watson's face was gloomy, silently meditating.

At this time, Ma Hong's displeased voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tom Watson, I need an affirmative answer from your group."

Tom Watson knew very well that Mahon was a man, and this man was a villain through and through.For all the informatization projects he leads, he will always eat at least three companies for one project.If you don't give him a gift, it is absolutely impossible for your company to win the bid for server products, storage products and other related application software products in the informatization project led by him.

Now, I have already sent my marketing director to personally send him hundreds of thousands of gifts, and what I got is only the promise to write my company's parameters into the bidding documents, and in order to ensure that the entire project can be carried out according to the mb group The company intends to expand, in order to realize the group company's absolute dominant position in the server market in the entire Jixiang Province, he must lead the direction of the entire project, which is why the entire planning plan is concocted by their mb company.

But now, something went wrong, and this Ma Hong immediately showed his villainous side, and his face changed immediately, but he didn't mention the fact that he had collected money from them.

However, Tom Watson has seen this kind of thing a lot in China, so he was not surprised by Ma Hongcai's reaction. He said with a faint smile: "Director Ma, don't worry, I will bring our marketing director Sandi (Sen Di) went to you to discuss this matter together. We guarantee that the whole project will move forward in the direction we planned."

Mahon nodded in satisfaction after hearing Tom Watson's words: "Well, okay, I'll wait for you in the Emperor's Suite of the Mythical Palace."

After finishing speaking, Ma Hong hung up the phone.

Myth Palace is the most luxurious entertainment club in Tongda City, the capital of the entire Auspicious Province. The quality of ladies here is the best in Auspicious Province, even among the entertainment venues in several surrounding provinces, and the Regal Suite is the most luxurious among them. In this private room, there are not only beautiful women with a bachelor’s degree or above to provide various services to guests, but also to conduct various private exchanges here. The confidentiality facilities here are absolutely top-notch .

And the minimum consumption here is 6 yuan a day!

Hearing that Ma Hongcai actually chose the Regal Suite to discuss matters, although Tom Watson was very upset, he couldn't disagree with the other party's request and paid for it, because this time Tongda City's urban informatization transformation project was very important to them. It is definitely a huge opportunity for the mb group company. If they miss this project, they will be in a disadvantaged position in the server market of the entire Jixiang Province.Because the urban informatization transformation project of Tongda City is a pilot project of the entire Baiyun Province informatization transformation project, if this project is successful, then the informatization transformation projects carried out in other cities in Jixiang Province in the future are likely to follow the information transformation project of Tongda City. Retrofit project standards go to construction.

You know, the informatization transformation project of Tongda City alone has a budget of more than 2 million yuan, so how much budget will the dozen cities in Jixiang Province have?In the entire project, the purchase share of servers, storage systems, and application software systems accounted for more than 50% of the funds of the entire project. 50%, then he can easily spend this year.And the huge bonus brought by completing this project is also what he is jealous of.

And even if it costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands to treat guests to dinner, it is just a trivial matter for foreign companies like them, and they all have this budget.Anyway, it's not spending his own money, and he can even make some money in the whole process, so why not do it?

Thinking of this, Tom Watson first sent a fund approval application to his superiors through the company's internal email in accordance with the company's internal management process, and explained the reasons. The company's senior management quickly approved his application and allocated the funds in place as soon as possible. Of course, for their foreign company, the use of each fund has various names to cover up the real purpose of the use, which can make their entire illegal operation process very legal , They even have various Huaxia companies as their partners, allowing the other party to engage in operations that are suspected of violating laws and regulations, while they can stay out of the matter and just enjoy the result of victory.And their partners are often people or companies with connections or strong strengths in gray and black in various places in China.

After finally getting the funding through a series of complicated processes, Tom Watson immediately called his subordinate, marketing director Sandi (Sandy), and asked Sandi to arrange the following work.

Tom Watson is a blond-haired, blue-eyed American, about 30 years old, graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was parachuted from the headquarters of the MB Group to Jixiang Province. The reason why he called Sendy and asked Sendy to arrange it was because Now they and Ma Hongcai's various actions are suspected of bribery and other illegal activities, so he will never handle this kind of thing himself, so he specially hired a marketing director with a high salary, Sendy, to be in charge of this aspect.

Sandi (Sendi) is the English name of the marketing director. He is a native of China. His Chinese name is Li Shusen. He is also in his early 30s. He has spent 8 years working from a technical service engineer in mb company to a marketing director step by step. The position can be described as frightening every step of the way. He has participated in various company political struggles. However, he finally succeeded in defeating various competitors and finally reached this position. At the same time, he enjoys an annual salary of 30 plus All kinds of gray income.

Sendy is very clear about his own position, so he will naturally carry out Tom Watson's instructions without hesitation.

Sendy first booked the emperor's suite at the Mythical Palace, and asked the other party to book in advance the ladies that Ma Hong loved the most before, and then booked a taxi and waited downstairs, and then he knocked on Tom Wall himself. Sen's door, said with a smile: "Tom, everything is ready now, can we go now?"

Sendi Li Shusen said with a humble smile on his face, asking for instructions.

Having worked in foreign companies for many years, Li Shusen has long been familiar with the various survival methods inside foreign companies. Here, he must be careful with the superiors, because Li Shusen's position is only one level away from Tom Watson's position. The next promotion can directly replace Tom's position. However, it is precisely because of this delicate relationship that he must show enough respect to Tom Watson.Because it is such a small level, it is difficult to cross without major and outstanding performances, and whether he can obtain many benefits depends on Tom Watson.

Seeing Li Shusen's performance, Tom Watson nodded in satisfaction, stood up, adjusted his tie in front of the mirror, and wiped his leather shoes on the automatic shoe polisher, then strode out of the office with Li Shusen and went straight to the office. Mythical Palace.

Inside the Emperor Suite of the Mythical Palace.

Tom Watson, Li Shusen and Ma Hong came to the private room first, closed the door and talked about business.

Ma Hongcai directly narrated in detail how he had run into a wall with Liu Qingyu, and also described the uproar caused by Liu Qingyu in the entire Tongda City through this incident.

After talking about this matter, Ma Hong said with a heavy face: "You two, I am not scaring you. If we can't handle this matter perfectly this time, then it means that I, Ma Hong, and Mayor Ma behind me , Mayor Yan lost face, which means that Liu Qingyu, the newly appointed deputy mayor, gave us all a disgrace this time. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether I, Ma Hong, lose face or not, because I am Liu Qingyu's subordinate, I don't have any temper when he criticizes me, but if Mayor Ma and Mayor Yan lose face, the problem will be serious. You know, they are members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

If they are dissatisfied with the results of our handling, then needless to say, you can imagine that not only will it be a problem whether I can continue to lead this project in the future, but your mb group's ability to handle affairs will definitely be questioned by other leaders. Then in the future, they will never dare to continue to give your mb group trust. At that time, no matter who is in charge of this project, the two leaders will definitely not let your company win the bid. I believe that for this point You should be clear. "

When he said these words, Ma Hongcai did not tell them that Liu Qingyu ordered him to work with the information department to sort out the plan. He did not say that he had his own selfish intentions, because if one more person is in charge of this project, there will be one more People come out to share benefits.He negotiated with the people of the mb group alone, and the other party could only rely on himself, so he had to find a way to please himself, and the benefits followed.

Just after Ma Hong finished speaking, both Tom Watson and Li Shusen's expressions became serious.

Although they thought that this matter must not be simple, they did not expect that there are so many inside stories. These two foreign company elites who often deal with information technology projects and officials are naturally very clear that they have been involved in the current situation. Went in the political struggle.However, those who are familiar with China's national conditions know very well that at this time, they have to choose sides and stand in line, and the result of standing in line will directly affect their future market share and sales performance.But now, they don't need to do too much mental struggle at all, because in their opinion, no matter what, Liu Qingyu, the new deputy mayor who ranks last, can't fight against the two mayors Ma Botong and Yan Junwei. leading.

Therefore, both of them are now focusing on how to solve Liu Qingyu's making things difficult.
