Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 164 Sorry, Boss
Zhang Yong also returned to Beijing and is preparing for a trip to Provence, France.

From the perspective of performance, this is Zhang Yong's best moment. The rumors of SKydon's acquisition, on the contrary, contributed to the situation that the three companies increased orders at the same time.This month's order amount is almost equivalent to his usual three months.

Zhang Yong returned to the office satisfied. He notified the administration to arrange a work banquet at noon, and the Mag representative office celebrated together.

He bought some gifts for everyone in Germany, so he came into the office with big bags and small bags.

Unexpectedly, in the office, I met a youthful and beautiful girl. The girl came up and gave Zhang Yong a hug, and while thanking him, snatched a lipstick and a box of chocolates from Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong said helplessly: "Miss Tan, you must not have come to see me. Does your Boss Shao allow you to work at the Mag representative office every day?"

Xiao Tan smiled and said, "I'm here for work. I have serious business. Mr. Shao asked me to tell you and call him back."

"Call me back?" Zhang Yong shook his head helplessly, "Thank you so much, he can just call me directly, but he even bothered you to make a trip, it's too hard for you."

"You're welcome," Xiao Tan smiled and stretched out his hand again, "Where is Yang Bo's share from our family? I will take it on my behalf."

Zhang Yong simply handed her all the things in his hand, "You are already a member of us, please help me share it with everyone."

Zhang Yong entered his office and called Shao Wenjie.

"Zhang Yong, how was the trip to Germany?"

"There are so many, I have time to chat slowly. Are you looking for me?"

"Yes. I helped you with the circuit diagram twice, and this time you have to help me. Do you know about Pyson Navigation?"

Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment. Not only did he know this brand, but he was also familiar with it, and even more than that. In the past few days since he came back from Germany, he has been studying the information of Payson since he was on the Lufthansa plane, because in Stuttgart , Gao Ping just mentioned this brand to him.

Back in time 20 years, the founder of SKydon caused dissatisfaction among shareholders because he invested too much money in research and development, so at a board meeting, the directors collectively voted to remove his qualifications, and the old man was kicked out of the company he founded .

Li Cha later told Zhang Yong that during the interview, Zhang Yong mentioned freedom and dreams, which reminded him of the founder, so he recommended Zhang Yong to Carl.

But the founder did not leave the company alone. His friend and co-founder, a middle-eastern American scholar Hardy, witnessed the unfair treatment of his old friend, left SKydon in a rage, and created the Payson Navigation. Trying to counter SKydon.

But Hardy lost terribly, and Payson was no match for SKydon.From Hardy, we know the huge difference between technology and products.Although Hardy has mastered many core technologies of SKdyon, it does not affect the appalling appearance of its products.This gap is even far greater than the gap between Techtech products and the core, so Techtech can still win the bid in the engineering center, but Python has never won any big project.

Frustrated, Hardy began to change his strategy. He sold his receiver part and focused on GNSS boards.At that time, Payson, which was not cared about at that time, attracted Gao Ping's attention as soon as it entered China, so it quickly signed a general agency agreement with Payson, which has been up to now.

Although there is no achievement in the surveying and mapping market, in the field of navigation, aerospace, Zhonghe has helped Python win a lot of orders.

The reason Zhang Yong noticed this was because it was one of Gao Ping's targets for acquisition.

Zhang Yong researched the background and information of Payson, and found it difficult.Payson may not have been a success, but Hardy was a tough boss.He wasn't too short of money, and he made a lot of money by selling the negative equity of the receiver.And his prestige is very high, generally small companies dare not take his idea, and the companies that hope to acquire Payson and can talk to Hardy are all well-known big companies in the industry.

Although Zhonghe is very good, its influence in the world is still a bit weak, so Zhang Yong feels that it is difficult for Gao Ping to succeed.

At this moment, Shao Wenjie suddenly mentioned Pai Sen, and he couldn't help being stunned. Did Shao Wenjie know something?
"Of course I know about Payson Navigation, but I haven't called them before? What are you doing?"

"I've been looking for you whether I know you or not. You are very capable. Help me get some Pyson boards. The price is easy to negotiate, but I'm in a hurry."

"Mr. Shao," Zhang Yong said sternly, "I am the actual person in charge of Mag's representative office. If someone bypasses me and goes to France to get Mag's board, what do you think I will think? You should ask the public about this matter." Come on, I can't help you. Also, why don't you push DM100, why are you using the idea of ​​​​Pyson boards."

"Zhang Yong, listen to me. I'm not that despicable. I want to steal Lao Gao's business behind my back. But this is my user. We are promoting DM100, but the user has a few old systems, which are Pyson boards. They have already It has nothing to do with Zhonghe. The current person in charge doesn’t know where the board was purchased from, so they handed it over to me. The problem now is that if I don’t give them the Payson board, I’m afraid the Mag board’s business won’t be done at all. not go down."

Zhang Yong's attitude softened, "Let's go to Zhonghe to get it. You said it, the price is not a problem. If Zhonghe offers you a high price, then I can come forward and discuss with Mr. Gao to see if I can save face. .”

Shao Wenjie said displeased: "You are really a heartthrob, and you have face there. Do you know what relationship I have with Lao Gao? We are classmates from undergraduate to graduate school, and our friendship and face are no worse than yours. .But the problem now is not the price,..."

"The rules of Zhonghe are even more annoying than Xiaowei's. The price is not a problem, but they require that the end user's information must be given to them, in a fancy name, in order to provide better services. Do you think I can give them? Yes. They, not only I can't get Pyson, but I guess my DM100 business is very likely to be snatched by them..."

"Xiaowei, a black-hearted ghost, just skinned us. But Zhonghe's method is to directly kill us."

"I understand," Zhang Yong nodded, "If that's the case, then let's go find that picker."

"Xiaowei!" Shao Wenjie called out, "Are you really looking for him? Alas, brother, I haven't contacted him since SS24. Well, help me find him. If he has a way, It is really possible to get Payson from the United States, and I will communicate with him, okay?"

"You said, you helped me more than once, and I owe you, so, if you say yes, I will. I will help you contact Xiaowei. How could Xiaowei have no choice? He is Xiaowei. "

There was a burst of cheerful mixed laughter outside the office, and Zhang Yong added, "Besides, I owe you a new debt, thank you for sending such a beautiful girl to the Mag representative office."

"Oh," Shao Wenjie on the other end of the phone beat his feet and chest, "It hurts so much, Zhang Yong, you must help me."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yong looked at the time, Xiao Wei, who loves to sleep late, should still be dreaming, so he decided to make this call at night.

Zhang Yong underestimated the seriousness of this matter, let alone the changes that this phone call would bring to China's navigation circle.

He likes Xiaowei very much, and Xiaowei treats him well.So although he has always been aware of Xiaowei's aggressiveness, he still often ignores it.He forgot that Xiaowei is that "bastard" in countless people's mouth.

……

……

Xiaowei drove leisurely away from downtown Cambridge and was rushing to the airport.

During his days in the United States, his wealth and waistline grew simultaneously, and he has become a fat American with a Chinese face.But he was still nimble, and his weight never affected his agility.

The fat man is usually happier, and Xiaowei is also used to smiling now, but occasionally there is a flash of light in his eyes, which makes people feel that he is still the clever and aggressive Xiaowei.

He was very proud. He had just bid farewell to his child at Harvard University. His eldest daughter Tian Jing was admitted to Harvard as he wished, and his life became more and more complete.

While at the airport, he received a call from Zhang Yong.

"Payson? I've seen that guy named Hardy, he's a proud Middle Easterner. I should be able to help with this matter, just wait for my news."

Xiaowei hung up the phone, sat on the chair at the airport and thought for a while, then picked up the phone again and called Yimu.

"Pyson has performed well in navigation. Zhonghe has done meticulous work for many years, so it has cultivated a group of users. As for OEM users, you know, once they are finalized, they don't need to do anything, and the business can last for more than ten years. So although Payson is not well-known, but it is a good business."

"Okay, Yimu. I understand, let's hang up."

Xiaowei sat for a while, until the boarding reminder sounded on the radio, and everyone went to line up one after another.Xiaowei stood up, tore the boarding pass in his hand into several pieces, and threw them into the trash can.

Then, against the flow of people, he strode out of the terminal and came to a counter, "Buy me a ticket to San Francisco."

Then he made a call, "Hadi, I'm Xiaowei, from China, we should have met. I have something important to discuss with you now, are you in the company? I'll visit tomorrow. Yes, I Already at the airport, board the plane right away, see you tomorrow."

……

……

Provence, France, the hometown of lavender.

Zhang Yong arrived at Marseille Airport, then took a taxi to the manor where Mag had a meeting.

Driving into the courtyard, grassland, towering trees, ancient castle, everything is as beautiful as a painting.

Zhang Yong sighed, French people who know how to live, look like they are about to be acquired, and Da Sewa still has such a leisurely mood.

The welcome reception the night before was held on the grass, and everyone seemed to be very happy with the appearance of singing and dancing. The most interesting part was that no one talked about the acquisition of SKydon.Perhaps this mentality is correct?Zhang Yong himself was a little puzzled.He had to admit that the life of the Chinese people was a bit too heavy.

The meeting officially kicked off, and Da Se Wa was summarizing the year and looking forward to the future.But for the future, Zhang Yong is very confused, what can the boss say.But he found that Dasewa was very smart, and he said that the prospect of looking forward seems to have nothing to do with the acquisition.

Zhang Yong sat quietly behind his boss, Xiao Sewa.

Da Sewa's thick French accent made Zhang Yong, who had not yet adapted to the jet lag, drowsy. He had no prospect for the future, and his drowsiness became more and more intense.There was no coffee at the meeting. In order to stay awake, he kept drinking water, and the mineral water in front of him soon bottomed out.

Still sleepy, he nodded to the ghosts on the left and right, then unceremoniously took the water in front of them to his own, opened it and continued to drink.

The devils on both sides frowned slightly, but did not object. At the same time, a question arose in their hearts, is China a country that is short of water?
Finally, Zhang Yong stopped thinking about dozing off, and another physiological need in his abdominal cavity successfully replaced the drowsiness.

This need was gradually increasing. When Zhang Yong realized that this feeling was more difficult to restrain than sleepiness, there were already four empty water bottles in front of him, and everything could not be reversed.

Da Sewa on the stage was talking happily, and the PPT charts on every page seemed to be dancing. Zhang Yong felt that the rising arrows seemed to describe the water level in his body.

He finally couldn't help it, and wanted to leave secretly to solve it, but found that Da Sewa's PPT had turned to the last page.

He decided to endure it a little longer. Anyway, the latter link is irrelevant, and there are not many opportunities to listen to the boss's speech. It is best not to be absent because of the flood.

But he didn't expect that Da Sewa put countless enthusiasm into the last page of PPT, and the report was like a torrential river, continuous, and Zhang Yong felt that his dam was about to fall.

He couldn't wait any longer, so he bent down as low-key as possible, and stood up quietly, trying to escape quietly with the burly background of Xiao Sewa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he caught Da Sewa's attention, "Hi, Yong, it looks you can't wait a second. (Are you so impatient?)"

Zhang Yong knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn't understand how Da Se Wa could notice him at a glance among so many people. He endured the pain in his stomach and wanted to explain a few words, but found that Da Se Wa was smiling. , full of infinite love for his gaze.Faintly felt that Da Se Wa's call to stop him should have nothing to do with his desire to pee, there should be other reasons.

Sure enough, Da Sewa was full of joy, and continued: "Next, I will announce an appointment. It was originally planned to be announced at the dinner, but it seems that Brother Yong can't wait any longer. In the past year, our business in China has grown rapidly. Yongge’s achievements in China are obvious to all, and since Celina has returned to TS Group, I officially announce that Yongge has been appointed as our new China chief representative.”

There seemed to be scattered applause from the audience, and Zhang Yong was stunned. This ending was the last news he wanted to hear now, and he urgently needed to end this session quickly.

Zhang Yong straightened his body upright, and immediately felt that his water level was being oppressed, and it was rising again, and at the same time, there was a tendency to rush down.

The applause began to be enthusiastic, and Xiao Sewa took the lead in applauding, so the atmosphere was driven, and the audience applauded thunderously.

The foreigner sitting next to Zhang Yong stretched out his hand to Zhang Yong regardless of the revenge he had just had for seizing the water, "Congratulations, brother Yong!"

"Hey, brother Yong, do you want to say something?" Da Sewa's smile was full of kindness and anticipation.

Zhang Yong was silent for a second, and then under the double pressure in his stomach and heart, he said word by word:

"Mr. President, I am very grateful for your trust and the support of all colleagues at Mag. The past few years working at Mag have been one of the happiest times in my life. However, I am very sorry, but I am afraid that I cannot accept your appointment. accept."

The big and small children's smiles were all condensed on their faces, and the lively atmosphere in the audience was also frozen.

After the third volume, please continue to pay attention to the finale of the fourth volume, the most exciting part is about to be staged.

The fourth volume "Core-Core Printing, Made in China, Reaching for the Stars"
