Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 126 Cheers Boss
"Is Paris so attractive? Or are there romantic encounters? It seems that I have been to Germany and Switzerland so many times, and there is no time to postpone my return. To be honest, have you met a French beauty? The kind with red hair and blue face." Madam in Zhang Yong was interrogated over the phone.

"I said big sister, can we have some common sense? Blonde hair and blue eyes are the beauty, and red hair and blue face are not monsters?"

Madam giggled, "Sure enough, I admit it, I'm blonde."

"Master Police Officer, fortunately you didn't interfere in the interrogation, otherwise I don't know how many innocent people would be wronged."

"If you don't come back, my son will forget you. Come on, son, come and call Dad."

There was a burst of babbling from the microphone, and the son said wow, wah, wah, he didn't know what he was calling.Zhang Yong's heart was about to melt, "Be good, baby, Dad heard it. Be good, Dad will go back right away."

Madam laughed and said, "Well, sons are better than wives. I'm coming back soon. Do you want to stay a few more days? Do you want a week?"

"Probably not," Zhang Yong said: "We have already finished talking about the things that need to be discussed. There should be only one thing this time. Half a day should be enough. But I'm not sure when this half day can start. Xiao Sewa asked me Staying in Paris waiting for news, I said to go back to Nantes first, but he said no, Da Sewa might be in Paris. After the meeting, I went directly to the airport and arrived in Beijing early the next morning.”

"Okay, the time is set. Let me know the flight number in advance. I will take my son to the airport to pick you up when I have time. Come on, baby, say goodbye to Dad."

There was another burst of babbling in the microphone, and then with Zhang Yong's happy smile, Madam hung up the phone.

……

……

Things didn't go as fast as Zhang Yong thought. He waited in Paris for three days without getting any news.

When he was about to lose his patience, Xiao Sewa's call finally came.

"Brother Yong, did you have a good time in Paris?"

"Not very good, why do I think Paris is one of the most boring cities in the world, I'm dying of boredom."

Xiao Sewa smiled, "I understand your mood very well, but you can't use your emotions to evaluate a city. Francois has a meeting in TS today, and he invited you to dinner. I will send the address of the restaurant to your mobile phone Come on, I hope you enjoy your meal."

"I've been in Paris for five days and hope to hear some good news."

"Is it good news, you can ask Francois. Now Mag, it's hard to have worse news."

……

Zhang Yong came to the restaurant at the agreed time, and he caught a head of white hair as soon as he entered the door.He pointed to the waiter who came forward to greet him, "My friend is over there."

"Hey, Brother Yong, how are you?"

"Not bad, just a bit boring."

"Sorry to have left you alone in Paris for so long. Let's see what you want to eat?"

……

The beer was served first, and the two started chatting with a plate of olives while drinking.

"Brother Yong, let me confirm one thing first. You stayed in Paris for a weekend, did you do something or hear something, so you didn't rush back to Beijing?" Da Sewa's questions were always casual It came suddenly.

Zhang Yong made a quick calculation in his mind. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to tell the whole story either. He decided to keep Horton's part.

"I got a call from Celina that your report came back to her after changing hands a few times. So she gave it back to me. I wrote an assessment of my own numbers myself. That's it. "

"Oh, so." Da Sewa smiled, "Do you think that a big company like TS actually does things very funny?"

"I think a company values ​​process more than purpose, maybe that's it. I haven't managed a company, so I can't comment."

"Okay, let's get down to business. I kept you in Paris because things have changed, but I'm not sure what the change is. But it's hard to judge whether the changes are good or bad. The good news is that American companies The takeover was rejected, so we kept the OEM division for now. But the good news ends there."

"So far?"

"The board of directors did not give up the idea of ​​selling the OEM department, but confirmed that the planet is not a good buyer. In the next 6-12 months, it is very likely that TS will take the initiative to sell the OEM department. This is not good news, nor is it It's bad news, after all, it's all reasonable..."

"However, regarding the issue of OEM development, TS internal debates are fierce. Now they have confirmed the huge business opportunities in China, but just as I worried before, they don't believe in our competitiveness and are unwilling to invest money. Instead, they think that because This kind of business opportunity exists, and maybe the OEM department can sell it at a better price."

Zhang Yong's heart tightened a little, he felt that the freshly brewed white beer was not as delicious as before, it seemed a little bitter.

Da Sewa looked at his expression, "I'm sorry, Brother Yong. But it's not completely impossible, it's just that the hope is quite slim."

"Where is the opportunity?" Zhang Yong heard a hint of mystery, he raised his head and asked.

"Haha, brother Yong, I like the look in your eyes now. Everyone's debates are repeated and repeated, and they return to the previous topic. About their recent investment in OEM, and the market performance of DM-100. The final conclusion is , if DM-100 can be successful in the market, they may accept our proposal and start high-precision OEM business...”

"So the key to solving the problem now is back to sales, back to you and Francois. We need it soon, not in one year, two years, three years, but in one month, two months , three months, let shareholders see the actual performance of DM-100, otherwise,..." Da Sewa paused, and then continued.

"Quite frankly, if DM-100 doesn't turn out well, I would, like most of the board, support the sale of the OEM division and actively seek a buyer."

Zhang Yong was a little frustrated, "You know, we can't achieve the success of an OEM product within three months. Even if users start to try it, it is only 10, 20 pieces."

"Yes, I understand. Even I know, the size issue you mentioned. These topics are not mentioned within Mag, but it doesn't mean we don't really know. It's all hard and it doesn't make sense. But you know, this is life." Zhang Yong heard this familiar words again.

"I don't want much, brother Yong. If within three months, DM-100 can sell a thousand pieces in China. I think I can persuade the board of directors to continue investing in the OEM department. If there is no performance at all , I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Zhang Yong picked up the beer mug, "Boss, let me guess, you can speak Chinese, besides "Ni Hao", do you have another sentence, Cheers!"

"You're right, haha, what are you doing?"

"Cheers, sometimes it means a deal. Cheers, boss. DM-100, I'll sell it."

Da Sewa raised his glass with a smile, but found that Zhang Yong raised his head and drank most of the glass of beer in one gulp. "Boss, I have to have another drink."

……

……

Shao Wenjie waited anxiously for Zhang Yong's meeting.

He called Xiao Tan again, "Didn't Zhang Yong come back from France? Why don't you ask him out?"

Xiao Tan cried bitterly, "Boss, please calm down, he just came back, he must be jet lagged. Even if you ask him again next week, don't make him feel that you are more anxious than him."

Shao Wenjie nodded, "You're right. I just don't know if this Zhang Yong, like many people, just keeps saying he's going to treat you to dinner next time, but he never does."

"No, boss. I think he is more reliable than you."

Shao Wenjie glared angrily, "out!" Xiao Tan couldn't wait for it, and left Shao Wenjie's office with a smile.

……

……

In fact, the first thing Zhang Yong did after returning to China was to visit Shao Wenjie, but he had to deal with the matter in front of him.

When Shao Wenjie remembered him, he was handing over to Fang Shu in the office.

Fang Shu pushed a stack of signed documents to Zhang Yong, then smiled and said: "Although I am still the highest official of Mag China in name, everyone knows that I may not come back here again. Now, this is you You have to take all the responsibilities. It is only a matter of time before the chief representative is transferred to your name. François and the others are very satisfied with you. They cannot appoint you now, just because my contract has not yet expired Expect.……"

"I even signed the documents for the replacement of the legal person in advance and put them all together. Because I can't guarantee it, I still have time to return to Beijing to sign it..."

"Zhang Yong, thank you very much. Without you, I'm afraid I can't go back to reunite with my family now. Although it is not difficult to find a replacement, I am not a professional at all. But since I took this position, I must Leave some wealth to Mag, and my successor must do better than me. Fortunately, you are here, and I can leave with peace of mind."

"Mr. Fang, I should actually thank you, Mag. My experience has been beautified by others, but my career has not been smooth. Although I have been here for a short time, there is an atmosphere I like here. The feeling of people’s trust. Events like the Star Reaching Conference are actually nothing, but without your trust and unconditional support, I can’t do anything. I really hope that you have time to come back often, as long as I am here, this It will always be your office."

Fang Shu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to stay in Paris. Next time I come to France, come to visit me in Paris and I will treat you to dinner."

Zhang Yong replied, "Thank you, but I'm a bit shadowy about Paris." Both of them laughed.

"Whether it's Beijing or Paris, let's see each other when we have a chance. By the way, I have something else to tell you."

"You say."

"I told you about Jiang Xiaosu last time. But after thinking about it, I felt that what I did was inappropriate. Xiaosu did help me a lot, but he didn't help you. I asked you to take care of him Your career is actually unfair to you. You are now the director of the China region, and everything should be handled according to your ideas. I take back my suggestion, and you don’t have to consider my opinion anymore. "

Zhang Yong said seriously, "Actually, whether he can stay or not does not depend on your or my care, but on him. I think he may not stay for long and will leave on his own."

"I think you are more and more like Xiaowei. He swore that you will leave Eka and come to work here. He is right. What is the reason why you say that about Jiang Xiaosu?"

"Xiaowei is probably really a smart person who can see everything. I can't do it. I just rely on what I see and feel to speculate about the future. Xiaosu is a type of person I don't like very much. I'm sorry. I say this. This has nothing to do with ability or character, but with character."

"Personality?" Fang Shu was a little puzzled, "Xiaosu's personality is very good, he is very gentle. I think your personality is so difficult to get along with."

"He is actually far more difficult to get along with than me. It's just that everyone in this office is easy to get along with, so it's not obvious. A person like him looks easy-going and not withdrawn. But in fact, he doesn't talk to anyone. His heart It is closed. We have no way to communicate with him at all. For example, when we see that he has a problem and want to talk to him, the first time he reacts is, you are right, I have a problem, and I will pay attention to it in the future The first confession is not a good attitude, but he refuses to communicate with you. But you can't continue, because he has already admitted his mistake, and he will not change it in the future. I am most afraid of such people in the workplace, and they will never object Opinions, congratulations are the first when there are achievements, and self-blame are the first when there are problems. They are like a machine that does not make mistakes, without their own emotions. This is what I call a personality problem.”

Fang Shu seriously thought about Jiang Xiaosu's performance in the past few years, and it seemed to be true.

"Then what are you going to do? Let him go?"

"Not for the time being, until his personality affects his work. Before you were here, his problem would not be too big. I am here, and I think I can find a suitable way to treat him. But if we recruit another business When the manager comes over, getting along with them may become very problematic."

"As I said earlier, you are more suitable for managing this place than I am. Now I am very glad that all these troubles are yours. Zhang Yong, I wish you all the best."

The handover with Fang Shu is not something that Zhang Yong is eager to deal with. The reason why he is so urgent is because Fang Shu wants to reunite with his family as soon as possible.

But there was one thing that Zhang Yong had to deal with before meeting Shao Wenjie.This matter was a little bit of a headache, because it was related to Xiaowei.

……

……

Xiaowei is on the phone with Yimu.

"Mag America canceled my SS24 order. What about you?"

Yimu said: "If the orders in the United States are all cancelled, then the orders I placed in China may not be accepted at all. Tiangong has never signed an OEM agency agreement with Mag. It was just that no one cared about it before."

"Is anyone in charge now?"

"Of course. Now our old friend is here."

The smart Xiaowei immediately laughed, "Zhang Yong, no wonder. He is very capable. Forget about China's affairs, and the US orders have been stopped for me. What I said, the person in charge here actually said, let I will contact China."

"I thought you would be unhappy. As soon as he took office, he cut off your order."

"How should I put it, Zhang Yong is growing up very well, and his ability is getting better and better. You should be happy for him. You and I both know that my reputation in the circle is not very good. You are probably my only friend. As for Zhang Yong, you can Count it as half. Well, you go to him. You treat him the best, and he should accept your favor. You tell him, this is the last SS24 board I ordered, let him release it for me, and I will also accept it in the future. Not ordering any more."

"Xiaowei, it's rare for you to give in, and it's rare for you to ask me to ask for help."

"I treat him as half a friend, just begging for my own."

"Xiaowei, I'm not going."

Xiaowei frowned, Yimu hadn't said no to him directly. "Yimu, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that Zhang Yong's current situation is actually very difficult. Since we are considered friends, why did he give in to help us instead of us to give in and help him?"

"Yimu," Xiaowei's voice began to be harsh, "You know my character best, maybe I will lose SKydon and lose many projects, but in direct transactions, I have never suffered a loss, nor have I tolerated any People. This time I said that this is the last order, which is already the biggest concession to Zhang Yong, and I can't make any more concessions..."

"You have always been very kind to Zhang Yong, I think it's okay. But it's not enough to exchange the benefits you get. Don't be too kind."

Yimu still had a calm attitude, "You taught me that whether a person really gives in depends on what he can do. Zhang Yong is no longer the technical support of Tiangong before. He can do a lot now The thing about SS24 is not that we are making concessions, but that he can completely stop all our business. But he did not do this, but came to communicate with us, hoping that we can agree to him, because he has always regarded me and you as Friend. You treat him as a half friend, but he regards you as a complete friend. And he has always admired you, even if people around him call you a jerk."

Xiao Wei frowned when he heard Yi Mu's words, and then he raised his voice.

"Yimu, if there is someone beside you, you'd better let him talk to me directly."

Yimu laughed out loud, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Before your call comes, he'll be waiting for you here."

Another voice came from the receiver, "Xiaowei, hello. Long time no see."

"Zhang Yong, do you even dare to play tricks on me?"

"Boss Yi said that we are friends, and if half a friend fools a friend, it's not considered a disadvantage."

Xiaowei suddenly felt a little helpless, he found that he could not put down Zhang Yong, even if it was related to his own interests.This was probably the first time in his life, after all, he didn't even buy Professor Tian very much.

"Zhang Yong, have you and Yi Mu settled the talks? Don't you have any chance at all?"

"Yes, I know one thing. As long as Mr. Yi agrees, with Xiaowei's arrogance, you won't ask anyone to let you go. How can a person who can even give up Skydon care about a few boards?"

"Zhang Yong, I taught you these conversation skills. Now you are using this kind of words to bind me."

"You have taught me more than that. You and Mr. Yi will always be my teachers. This time I am not here to bind you, because this matter is very important to me, and I want you to help me."

A trace of warmth flashed across Xiaowei's face, if Yimu saw his expression, he would be shocked, it was very unlike Xiaowei.

"If you really regard me as a teacher, then an old saying has been verified."

"What do you say? Teach the disciples, starve the master to death."

Zhang Yong laughed, "Xiaowei, the person in the world who can starve you to death is probably not yet born. I really need your help, thank you."

Xiaowei raised his voice on the phone, "Yimu, why don't you talk anymore? I treat you as a brother, and you unite with your disciples to plot against me."

Yimu replied from a distance, "Your conversation has nothing to do with me, Xiaowei, you can directly refuse or agree to Zhang Yong, it's none of my business."

"Zhang Yong, listen, let's forget it this time, and don't make another example."

"Wait a minute, Xiaowei, it's not enough. Let's go up a level."

"What level are you born?"

"Upgrade half a friend to one."

"How to upgrade?"

"Return Jiechuang's advance payment to them."

"Zhang Yong, don't go too far!"
