Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 132 The CEO Who Breaks His Promise
"Your office is like an art gallery. This should be your French predecessor, Fang Shu, whom Xiao Tan never forgets. Her style, right? Don't you want to change it?" Shao Wenjie proposed the decoration of the office as soon as he entered the Mag representative office. own opinion.

"Mr. Shao, pay attention to your wording. Why did your predecessor come out? Mr. Fang is still the boss of the Mag representative office, my boss, and she is the current chief representative. Also, I like this style very much, and there is no need to change it." " Zhang Yong corrected Shao Wenjie's words.

"Oh, since Fang is always the boss, should I wait for her to come back and talk to her? I've always been curious about what kind of woman can be praised by Xiao Tan like this."

"Mr. Shao, please sit down. Who is Mr. Fang? You, a rough and reckless man, can see you whenever you want. You can only be worthy of my reception. Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee is not used to rough and reckless people, let's drink tea."

The two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.Xiaoyan at the front desk brought tea in, thinking that this should be a smooth negotiation.It's a pity that she was wrong. Not long after, there was a fierce quarrel between two people in the conference room.

"Zhang Yong, don't keep thinking about your 20 boards. We want to cooperate first, so we need to consider the conditions of cooperation between the two parties. Mag produces 24 SS[-] boards, and I have to wait for three months. With such a production capacity, can you Do you guarantee the supply of [-] pieces? My current order plan is very reasonable. This is already my greatest sincerity."

"Mr. Shao, don't always talk about 150 boards. This [-] boards is our consensus, and what we're talking about now is cooperation. You asked for such a high discount, but the first order is only [-] boards. I sold [-] of the [-] pieces. This, I cannot accept.”

"Yes, you sold these 150 pieces, otherwise, my first order would be up to 850 pieces. If you think you are very good, try to sell the remaining [-] pieces as well."

Hearing that the voice in the meeting room was getting louder, Yang Bo couldn't help feeling a little worried.He didn't know where Zhang Yong got the confidence to quarrel with Shao Wenjie so forcefully. He probably heard about Zhang Yong's promise to Da Sewa, and now Jiechuang was almost Zhang Yong's only chance.He felt that the most correct way was to accept all of Shao Wenjie's conditions.If it exceeds the scope of Zhang Yong's authority, apply to Xiaosewa as soon as possible.But he actually quarreled with the only benefactor.

He clicked on the profile picture of the black hot girl on the computer QQ, "Eva, your boss and my boss are arguing, what should I do?"

Eva is naturally the beautiful Xiao Tan, her profile picture flashed, and Xiao Tan replied, "Don't worry, there will be quarrels, but an agreement will be reached in the end. You are so stupid, so don't worry about it."

Yang Bo smiled. He believed the girl's words, so he stopped being entangled and sent some more interesting messages to Xiao Tan.

The quarrel in the conference room continued.

"Mr. Shao, let's make a little concession. For example, according to your original plan, how about adding [-] pieces to the first order?"

"Fifty is a number to consider."

"Thank you Mr. Shao, you just said that without our 150 pieces, your first order is only 150 pieces, [-] plus [-] pieces, plus my [-] pieces, that is [-] pieces. Am I right? "

"Zhang Yong, a person of your status should not play this kind of number game. Fifty pieces have changed hands and become one hundred. Do you think this is interesting?"

"Do I have an identity? Mr. Shao? As I said, the boss here is still Mr. Fang. I'm just a small employee, and I can only settle these small accounts." Zhang Yong looked serious and innocent.

"Rogue, you are not afraid that I will give up all orders."

"Shao is always a person of status, so naturally he would not do this. Also, I will persuade the boss to give you 20 boards with the highest configuration, and at the same time give you two options of dual-star and dual-frequency, [-]hz option and RTK option , all the configurations are given to you, and you can make samples for free.”

"Well, this kind of handwriting is worthy of your identity, Zhang Yong."

"Twenty pieces don't count as batches. Mr. Shao, you can add another part to make up the whole. How about an initial order of [-] pieces?"

"Zhang Yong, don't go too far. Have you ever read the Grimm's fairy tales? A farmer leads a cow, trades it back and forth, and finally turns into an egg. This is a reasonable story. But you hold an egg and finally want to It would be too much to take a cow away from me."

"I'm going too far, let's do this, you add 450 pieces, make up half a hundred of fifty, and order 110 pieces for the first time. After that, [-] pieces will be completed every month, and it will be completed in five months. If you order [-] pieces for the first time, then One hundred tablets per month, which one do you choose?"

Seeing Zhang Yong's philistine face, Shao Wenjie was amused.

"No matter how I look at you, you are not like that romanticist who could come up with the name "Star Reaching Conference". Your negotiation is neither skillful nor persuasive. Is this interesting?"

"Mr. Shao, I've learned a lot from you and Mr. Zhao. I'm tall and tall just to show off to others. Life is trivial. It's boring to do this, but I have to admit that it's very effective."

"Okay," Shao Wenjie sighed, "You actually said that I taught you this, and I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. How about this, you give me another thirty boards, fifty in total. Order five hundred pieces. If you refuse, then I will only order four hundred pieces first. Even so, it is higher than my previous plan, and you have succeeded, Mr. Profiteer."

"Deal, Mr. Gentleman, I'll give you fifty pieces."

The quarrel in the conference room gradually calmed down, which made everyone in the office who had listened quietly to the sound with their ears pricked up heaved a sigh of relief.When Fang Shu was here, this kind of thing never happened in the office, even the arrogant Xiaowei never spoke so loudly.But when they saw the two talking and laughing and walking out of the conference room, everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Let's go, since you're here with a French company, I'll treat you to French food. There's a restaurant here that serves pretty good steaks."

"Originally, I wanted to go back to the company directly. But being calculated by you like this, it's hard to solve my hatred if I don't eat you. Let's go, lead the way."

"By the way, Mr. Shao. The order has been negotiated, and I have a small matter to tell you."

Shao Wenjie widened his eyes alertly, "Small things?"

"Your first order of [-] pieces cannot be delivered at one time. You have already said that Mag's production capacity is so high. We will wholesale it to you within six months, and complete the thousand pieces within seven months. .”

"When talking about the order, you didn't say that. Your production capacity is not enough, why do you want me to make an initial order of [-] pieces?"

"Five hundred pieces is to prove Mr. Shao's sincerity and strength, batch shipments represent reality. Anyway, you are going to do a long-term, maybe a year or two of digestion time, don't care about a month or two months at all, right? , Mr. Shao."

Shao Wenjie looked helpless, "If I tell Xiao Tan your face, I don't know if she will be disappointed. She always praises you like a saint."

"It's okay, if you're really disappointed, I'll ask Yang Bo to explain it for me, and she will accept it."

"Shameless guy."

……

……

Oliver returned to France with a full harvest.

On the weekend, Zhang Yong and Xiao Tan accompanied him to the Badaling Great Wall, and he was amazed by the ancient Chinese civilization.

On the return trip, we tasted Peking duck in Changping, which is a restaurant where Zhang Yong often receives foreign guests.Most people always choose high-standard restaurants to receive foreigners, Zhang Yong thinks it is too wasteful.Foreigners don't understand consumption in China at all, and they have no idea how much money they spend.As far as Peking duck is concerned, what do foreigners know about Quanjude, Dadong, and Bianyifang, just like many foreigners refer to Chinese liquor as Moutai. Westerners.

Zhang Yong taught him burritos, and he did not forget to joke, "See? Friends, our pancakes are eaten with your hands, which is elegant. It is very rude to eat roast duck with a knife and fork. "

Oliver laughed, "You're right, the hand is the most dexterous tool God has given to people."

After dinner, they took the French to the Ming Tombs.Come back at night and go shopping on Silk Street.Oliver’s comment on Xiushui is that it’s called the Silk Market, but without silk, you can buy everything else.Xiao Tan's superb bargaining skills frightened Oliver, who had never seen the world, and he won more than 300 items in less than [-]. This country is amazing.

When saying goodbye at the airport, Oliver held Zhang Yong's hand, "Brother Yong, thank you for arranging these itineraries for me. China is really a special country, and I fell in love with Beijing. Congratulations to you, it was actually completed A task that François himself is not confident of. I will push this project forward as soon as I get back. I think François will let you know how it turns out. You did a very amazing job, thank you again, you kept it My department. Hope to see you soon in France."

Zhang Yong said: "It's all what I should do, I'll wait for your good news."

……

……

Oliver, who got on the plane, put away his smile. After getting Zhang Yong's confirmation, he immediately called Da Sewa, but the boss's attitude seemed a little strange.

He didn't tell Zhang Yong much, hoping to give Brother Yong a good news when he went back.He didn't pay much attention to whether the order of the thousand boards can be obtained, or even whether the OEM department will keep it.But now, unconsciously, he is on the same side as Zhang Yong. He doesn't want to disappoint his Chinese friend who has done a lot.

……

Mag headquarters in Nantes, France.

After finishing the report with Da Sewa, Oliver immediately found Xiao Sewa.

"Francois, here comes your trouble. I don't know how you can explain it to your Chinese subordinates."

Xiao Sewa frowned, "What did Francois say?"

"He is very satisfied with Zhang Yong's performance. The order of 100 pieces of DM-[-] is Mission impossible (the impossible task, the English title of the movie "Mission: Impossible"), but he did not expect that Brother Yong actually made Tom Cruise."

"What I need to explain to Brother Yong is definitely not this."

"Yes. François said that he did not deceive Brother Yong. He told Brother Yong that the board of directors did not want to give up the sale of the OEM division, and the shareholders questioned the matter of DM-100 and asked us to first Success on the Internet, and then you can communicate the following things, these are the facts."

"So what's the problem?"

"The problem is, what is considered success, and after success, the board of directors has no real conclusion on how to invest in the OEM department and whether to officially launch the measurement-type high-precision GNSS board project, and there is no quantitative standard..."

"The number of 100 boards was proposed by Francois himself, not the board of directors. He thinks that Brother Yong will definitely not be able to do it. Maybe he can create some miracles, such as selling [-] to [-] boards in three months." A board, this is a good result. So it is far from being profitable, but at least it can prove to the board that we are profitable and DM-[-] is successful. This is what Francois said. And I I think there is another reason why he can't say it publicly, that is, with the performance of these two to three hundred pieces, no matter whether the OEM department is sold or retained, it cannot conceal that he is an excellent leader. Every one under his management Departments are full of energy.”

Xiao Sewa frowned, "Mag's future is uncertain, Francois values ​​personal reputation, I can understand. But now Brother Yong has done what he asked. Can't he do more?"

"My guess is that he will apply to the board. But as before, he is not confident because the board has never promised him anything. Now everything has to start all over again except to praise him for doing a good job. Maybe he It is only possible to get approval to start the survey-type GNSS OEM board project. And most importantly, even if the above-mentioned bigwigs agree, it is difficult for them to have more investment. …”

"So, Brother Yong has completed an order of [-] pieces, which is good news for François and TS, but it may not solve any problems. Brother Yong should have paid a lot for this order. If If there is no follow-up, I guess he will be very sad. I think François may not see him anymore, and it is up to you to explain all this to him. So, I say your trouble is coming."

Xiao Sewa swears fiercely, "He wrote a bad check at random, but the serious brother Yong bought a lot of things with it, does he want me to cash it now?"

"How about we wait, maybe he communicated well with the board of directors, maybe we woke up and got a lot of investment. We can continue to develop our new boards, and Brother Yong can be happy to get his hard work in return , the whole world is still beautiful." Oliver comforted himself with an exaggerated expression.

"When I was in Beijing last time, Brother Yong taught me a Chinese proverb, which is to paint cakes to satisfy hunger. But it is others who paint cakes. I think you are painting cakes for yourself now."

"Then what can we do? This is life." The French's classic dialogue came as promised.

"I'm going to find the boss."

"Good luck, friend."

Little Sewa walked into Da Sewa's office, and seeing the calm face of the boss, she suddenly had a feeling that maybe Da Sewa was waiting for him.

"Sit down, François. I know why you're here, am I right?"

"I guess, you guessed right." Both of them smiled.

"I know what you're going to say, François, unfortunately, I have nothing to negotiate now. I'm preparing a report to the board of directors, but with the efficiency of our French gentlemen, you know, whether it is achieved or not, it is probably a few What happened in a month. Now we can only delay it and not give Brother Yong any answer."

"Based on your estimate, what are the chances that the OEM sector will get investment?"

"From the current situation, it is almost impossible."

Xiao Sewa held back the faint anger in her heart, "When you talked about the [-]-piece performance with Brother Yong, what you thought was that he would definitely not be able to complete it. You never really thought about how this matter will continue, did you?"

Big Sewa looked at Xiao Sewa's expression and suddenly smiled.

"Of course not. I'm not an irresponsible boss. I guess you still listened to Oliver. He's just a product manager, and he doesn't know as much about many things as he thinks."

Xiao Sewa's face softened, "You mean, you have other plans."

"Yes. You arrange for Brother Yong to come to France again, I guess he can't wait to see me."

"You just said that we will delay for a while."

"Yes, I just said that. But I saw that one of my subordinates was very dissatisfied and seemed to want to fight me, so I changed my mind. Since this capable Chinese can always perform miracles, let's take the option Leave it to him."

"Sorry, Francois, I don't understand what you mean, what are you going to do? What do you want Zhang Yong to do?"

"Let's talk about it when he comes over. I just remembered one thing. Do you remember the last time he came, I asked him how to get the Sinicization of the Mag handset done, and how he answered."

"He said he used some methods such as disassembly. But this is hardware development and has nothing to do with assembly."

"Really? Sorry, François, I'm not that tech-savvy, I think it matters."
