most charming

The next day, Xiao Guoqiang and Xiao Jinhui arrived as scheduled. At first, they still had doubts about whether the person Lin Tao was looking for was reliable, but when the car parked under the office building of Baisheng Group, they saw Bai Baisheng again. The only remaining doubts were Then it disappeared.

And Lin Tao's status in their hearts is naturally rising. Baisheng is a large group with a monopoly position in China. It can be said that Shenghe Group has no way to compare with Baisheng in terms of scale.

In the ensuing negotiation, Bai Baisheng gave Lin Tao enough face and talked him hard, which made Lin Tao feel a little embarrassed.

During the luncheon, Bai Baisheng took them to the best hotel in Mingzhu, with the obvious intention of asking the Xiao family and his son to evaluate the gap between them.

However, in the field of dry catering, Xiao Guoqiang is very confident in himself. It can be said that he is a gourmet himself and has unique insights into various ingredients. He even maintains monthly or every two months. The head chef is in the habit of designing a new dish, so Bai Baisheng's trick of "getting off the horse" has no effect.

Of course, this only refers to the taste of the dishes. In terms of the hotel's hardware and software facilities, Xiao's father and son realized the gap between Junbei and Mingzhu. Jinhui Hotel can be said to be one of the best conditions in Junbei. Still can't compare.

After a luncheon, the host and guests had a good time, and in the afternoon in the Baisheng Group conference hall, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement, which clearly stated the obligations and responsibilities of both parties.

The cooperation between the two parties only took two days from Lin Tao's contact to the signing of the agreement, which is considered a miracle in the business world.

Of course, the main reason for this is Lin Tao's presence. If it's just Xiao's father and son, even if they can cooperate in the end, Bai Baisheng will delay them for a month or two.

In the evening, Bai Baisheng personally accompanied Xiao's father and son to visit the Pearl.I have to say that it is an international metropolis after all, and the nightlife is really rich, and it really starts in the middle of the night, and at this time, there are not many people on Junbei Street.

Bai Baisheng showed considerable sincerity, otherwise she and Ben would not have to accompany him in person.This is because of Lin Tao's persuasion. Catering is one of the most profitable and easiest industries to get started. She doesn't need to worry about the operation. Shenghe is very professional in this area. It can be said that it is just using the relationship. Why not do it? .

……

At Mingzhu Airport, Xiao's father and son and Lin Tao are about to enter the security check and take the flight back to Junbei.

Bai Baisheng came to send it off in person, and I have to say that she still looked at Lin Tao's face. Generally speaking, she did it to support Lin Tao.In fact, the two sides said it was cooperation, but in his opinion, it was Lin Tao who gave him money.It makes sense for him to give himself money, and himself to save face for him.

"Bai Dong, thank you for your warm hospitality!" Xiao Guoqiang said with a smile, "This trip is really worthwhile, and it has also laid a good foundation for our cooperation."

Bai Baisheng said: "Dong Xiao is being polite. To put it bluntly, I am taking advantage of the cooperation between us. Naturally, we should treat him well!"

Xiao Guoqiang said: "We should be taking advantage of it. Without the relationship with Chairman Bai, Shenghe Group may have to spend a lot of money to enter the Pearl Market. It is still unknown whether it can gain a firm foothold!" Taking advantage of Bai Baisheng.

"Of course, thanks to Lin Tao's role in it, without him, we would not be able to cooperate!" Xiao Guoqiang could see Bai Baisheng's attitude towards Lin Tao, and was willing to give such a favor.

"Dong Xiao, I will entrust my younger brother to you. If you make a mistake, you have to take it easy. If it doesn't work, call me and teach him a lesson yourself!" Bai Baisheng said himself like Lin Tao's own sister, It is also in a disguised form to tell the Xiao family and his son that Lin Tao has a very good relationship with him, and you can't treat him badly.

Xiao Guoqiang said kindly in the attitude of an elder: "Lin Tao is a hero of Shenghe, not to mention making mistakes, even if he made a big mistake, we will forgive him! What's more, he is the senior vice president of Shenghe Group. How could you do something like lifting a rock to shoot yourself in the foot!"

Xiao Guoqiang spoke smoothly. Although he praised Lin Tao, he didn't make any substantive guarantees.

But these are not what Bai Baisheng cares about. He has paved the way for him, and how far he can go is his business.

The broadcast announced that it was time to board the plane, everyone separated, Lin Tao and Xiao's father and son passed the security check and boarded the plane, while Bai Baisheng and Sarah went back to run a relationship.

The three of them were sitting in first class, Xiao Guoqiang was sitting by the window, and Xiao Jinhui was about to sit next to him when he said, "Jinhui, sit over there and talk to Lin Tao!"

Xiao Jinhui nodded and said, "Okay!"

Lin Tao changed his seat here, smiled and said, "Dong Xiao, what do you need from me?"

With a kind smile on Xiao Guoqiang's face, he looked like a loyal elder looking at the younger generation.

"You call me brother Jinhui, why don't you call me Xiao Dong? Call me uncle, or follow the custom in the north, you can call me uncle!"

Lin Tao didn't expect that he would take the initiative to get closer to him. The last time he had dinner, he was not so enthusiastic.

"Then call Uncle!" Lin Tao did not refuse, and readily agreed to come.

In fact, he knew very well that Xiao Guoqiang treated him like this, but he was looking at Bai Baisheng's face.Of course, this is the case now, if I can show enough ability in the future, I will naturally get his attention.

"Lin Tao, you did a good job in this matter, uncle is really grateful to you!" Xiao Guoqiang said very politely.

"You can't say that. I am both the senior vice president of Shenghe Group and a minority shareholder of the shares. Doing things for Shenghe is actually doing things for myself. Who would not do their best for their own affairs?" Lin Tao laughed. , "Although I am a small shareholder, I must have the spirit of ownership!"

Xiao Guoqiang smiled, shook his finger and pointed at him, and said, "You boy, it's really interesting, no wonder Jinhui always says hello in front of me!"

"Uncle, I'm very well aware of my own strength, and I still need to learn more from Brother Xiao." Lin Tao acted very modestly.

"Children can be taught!" Xiao Guoqiang sighed, "It's really not easy for a young man like you to be calm and learn with an open mind!"

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, the results of the list of good people will be released tomorrow. Are you confident?"

"It's useless for me to be confident, it depends on how the province operates!" Lin Tao took this matter very lightly.

In fact, he originally wanted to cause trouble. Through the Zhang family's relationship, he lost the election and disappointed the leaders of the city, and he felt very happy.But I didn't expect Zhang Chaosheng to assume the new post so soon. The first thing he did when he took office was to make himself a candidate. If he lost the election, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him as a godfather.

What's more, with the support of Mr. Zhang, Lin Tao knew very well that his reputation as a "good guy" was gone, but he would not make a real deal with Xiao Guoqiang.

The relationship between Lin Tao and the Zhang family, except for some high-level people, is known to no one in the entire East China Sea, not even Guo Zhaohui, and it is normal for Xiao's father and son not to know.

"Do your best!" Xiao Guoqiang patted him on the shoulder, "When we reach the height of the center, there is nothing we can do to help you!" Xiao Guoqiang was telling the truth.

Lin Tao grinned and said, "I guess the provincial leaders are more anxious than me!"

Seeing that his mentality is so good, Xiao Guoqiang couldn't help nodding secretly, not to be surprised by favor or shame, this is the basis for great things to happen.

"That makes sense. The province really values ​​it. This list of good people has been going on for several years. It's really unreasonable that no one from Donghai is on the list!" Xiao Guoqiang nodded and said, "But you are still very good this time. Hopefully, the new secretary of the Provincial Party Committee is a Beijing official who has been devolved from the director of the Development and Reform Commission to a local government, and he is also from a political family, so the high-level relationship is hard."

Lin Tao nodded pretending not to know.

"Let's not talk about that..." Xiao Guoqiang waved his hand, "I heard from Jinhui that you opened a sweet potato shop yourself?"

"Yes, it's just a small business for practicing hands." Lin Tao didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Do you want to grow big?" Xiao Guoqiang said, "It's a bit difficult to spread the name of Shenghe all over the world, but the northern part of China is not a problem."

Lin Tao didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him, but maybe the pie is a bit too big, and he might not be able to bear it.

"Is this okay?" He said with embarrassment, "My sweet potato shop is too small, maybe it will be closed that day, and it will be under the name of Shenghe Group, will it affect its reputation?"

Xiao Guoqiang said with a smile: "Are you not confident in yourself, or in Shenghe Group? In other words, you may feel that the northern area is a bit large, and it is not easy to control if it is not in front of you, so you can make it the largest in Junbei. , and then plan for Donghai Province, as long as the province is famous, then it becomes a neighboring province, and then one province after another, won’t it be much easier?”

"That's true! But I'm just afraid of hurting the group!" Lin Tao expressed his concerns, "The chain stores are really popular these years, but so far none of them can survive a year. Like that scumbag, half a year in There are more than 4000 chain stores across the country, but in less than 10 months, there are only a few hundred stores left in the country."

At the beginning, he and Guo Yiling considered the possibility of franchising, but considering various uncontrollable factors, they temporarily dismissed the idea. Now that Xiao Guoqiang proposed it and planned a route for him, it sounds easier to maneuver Some.

"National expansion definitely has disadvantages, but as I said, first expand in Junbei, then become a well-known trademark in the province, then slowly plot neighboring provinces, and finally occupy the north. For a sweet potato company, it is already It’s pretty good, after all, the market for roasted sweet potatoes in the north is better than that in the south, if you have the ability, then consider the southern market, otherwise holding on to the northern market is enough to make you a well-known entrepreneur!”

Xiao Guoqiang said with a chuckle: "Of course, the sweet potato shop is yours. Shenghe Group will not participate in a single cent, as long as it is under the name of Shenghe. Also, even if the sweet potato shop becomes bigger, your senior vice president Keep going, I won't let you go!"

Lin Tao also laughed and said, "I still have shares in Shenghe Group, so I won't leave no matter what!"

Here he also wants to understand, Xiao Guoqiang is willing to give himself advice, he must have seen that the future of Diguafang is very promising, but he can't take over clearly, so he takes a roundabout route, as long as he puts on the name of Shenghe, we will talk about it later Sometimes, it will be called "Shenghe Group Good Man Sweet Potato Square".If it really grows according to Xiao Guoqiang's expectation, it will be equivalent to helping Shenghe Group to advertise for free, and it will also help the group's expansion in the northern market.

Savvy!

Lin Tao thought to himself, on the surface it seems that everything is for his own sake, but in fact the biggest beneficiary is Shenghe Group.

However, Xiao Guoqiang's suggestion is indeed good. Most of the opinions of this kind of old businessman will not be problematic. If it can be implemented, it is really worth trying.

"Uncle really thinks it's feasible?"

Xiao Guoqiang nodded and said: "You can ask Jinhui, I haven't helped anyone with ideas for many years, and I have personally inspected your sweet potato shop before I came to such a conclusion."

Lin Tao thought about it, this is a good opportunity to make the sweet potato shop bigger, this is to take precautionary measures, and he is not afraid of being swallowed by Shenghe Group.

From this, it can be seen that Lin Tao is mature, he must consider the worst outcome first in everything. In fact, in the shopping malls, the behavior of the villain before the gentleman is common. No one told him, but he realized it by himself.

"Since uncle said so, I'll go back and think about it!"

Lin Tao nodded, in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.
