Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 183 Xiaowei and Gao Ping

Zhonghe's American office has a big-bellied guest today.

Gao Ping and Xiao Wei sat facing each other, and both looked at each other with special eyes.

They were old acquaintances, but they almost never sat face to face like this.The two of them are undoubtedly the first pioneers to start GNSS business in China. In comparison, both Li Wenyu and Mr. Zhao can only be regarded as latecomers.It's just that the two are engaged in different directions.

Even Pound can’t compare with them. Pound’s Dongfang Company may be earlier, but Dongfang is a comprehensive surveying and mapping product company and the earliest domestic GNSS manufacturer, but its participation in GNSS business is far behind the two.

They knew each other, and perhaps they had secretly compared each other in their hearts, but neither of them expected that one day they would sit together in the United States and try to reach some cooperation.

Since Zhonghe went public, Gao Ping has always been in a suit and leather shoes, formal and decent.Xiaowei, whose waistline is growing day by day, has completely fallen into an American cowboy uncle.

Two completely different people, it is difficult to compare which one of them is more successful, perhaps Gao Ping's business is more successful, but Xiaowei is a chic winner in life.

"Gao Ping, you know that when I started a business in the early days, I never spent my own money, but only played with SKydon's money."

"Of course I know. At that time, you knew how much I envied you."

"But after I left SKydon, I became like an upstart, and I like to use cash to solve all problems. For example, I robbed Python from you, and I spent money on it."

"I don't blame you, it's Hardy's problem, but what do you want to say?"

Xiaowei shrugged, "Of course I don't blame me, Hardy is just a scumbag. But what I want to say is that cash flow is very important to me now, and the dividends of monopolizing the market in the early days are gone. Now I live on capital, So why should I offer you money?"

Gao Ping said: "Xiaowei, you need to know that your Tiangong has basically become an enterprise that makes small money by doing small things, and you and I are well aware of Zhonghe's financial resources in China. I am not short of money, I just need money. Use overseas funds to make a time difference and avoid competition with domestic companies. If you want to make money, I can pay you in various ways from domestic channels. It will only make you profit, not make you lose money."

"I believe." Xiaowei nodded, but still looked high-spirited, as if he didn't feel ashamed of Tiangong's current depravity, "Of course you won't owe me money, and you can compensate me through various channels. But this involves Another question, is this money I want to earn? I like the feeling of earning money more than the money itself. I don’t care what others think, I always feel that I am earning money by wisdom. Take your Pyson, I don't feel guilty, I just feel that my shot is firm and steady. But if I provide you with funds, isn't it because I make money by lending money, I don't do finance, and I don't want to live on interest. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well, let's talk about business, just talk about the Python you just mentioned..." Gao Ping said.

"I know that Yimu is a talent, but now he is just a polished commander. Shao Wenjie is also selling Payson's products, but his main business is Mag boards, and now he has officially signed a contract with SKydon. And you, Xiaowei, never want to People who work hard and just like to lie down and earn money. Am I right?..."

"According to the current situation, Payson's business in China will only get smaller and smaller. I know you don't care. One day when the business is gone, you just throw it away and do other things..."

"However, Xiaowei, I know that you are very smart and can always catch all kinds of opportunities. But in today's world, there are fewer and fewer opportunities like SKydon at the beginning. For example, you want to get Hertz in the same way, but you don't get So, you should start thinking about it and seize an opportunity. And don't bother you, I, Gao Ping, will catch you, how about it?"

"Sounds very good, you continue to talk." Xiaowei seldom listened to other people's speeches carefully.

"Pyson was originally ours, so we will continue to do it, but we will definitely not compete with Yimu, just continue to help you find the market. And the shipments are all through Tiangong. Zhonghe's sales team is very strong. The previous team did not Disbanded, looking for some directions. I will let them continue to do it. My old Gao leads a team to help you work for Xiaowei, are you satisfied?..."

"And this result, I think you obtained it with your wisdom. Because you are smart enough, Zhonghe works for you. Isn't this your style."

Xiaowei smiled, "It's really like something I like to do. I give trouble to others and make money by myself. Lao Gao, how did you think of such a condition? No one in this industry negotiates terms with me, it's me To make a condition, others are reluctant but have to agree. You should know what they call me behind their backs, right?"

"Of course, English letters starting with A, or Chinese pinyin starting with H."

"Hahahaha," Xiaowei laughed, "How could you negotiate terms with a bastard."

"Because a friend told me that you are actually a very reasonable person."

"Well," Xiaowei nodded, "Zhang Yong is actually a very smart guy."

"You know he said it?"

"Nonsense. He is probably the only one in the whole world who can say that I am reasonable."

"Then I'll be the second one," Gao Ping stretched out his hand, "Is it a deal? Xiaowei."

Xiaowei also stretched out his hand, "I like your reasoning, we have a happy cooperation."

……

The two quickly signed an agreement. Gao Ping took out a bottle of cognac and poured two glasses, "Celebrate."

"Xiaowei, I don't understand something. What kind of person do you think Zhang Yong is?"

"It seems that he is doing things for you now, shouldn't you evaluate him?"

"What he is doing now is indeed related to Zhonghe, but he is not my person. He has done so many things, and I can't figure out what he is going to do. Most people understand that he has helped Zhonghe so much , must want to have more favor with me, and then join Zhonghe as a matter of course...."

"It's not that I am proud. It is actually a very honorable thing to be favored by Zhonghe. Although he is capable, he does not have a good platform. It is difficult for him to achieve much by himself. The few things he planned, They are all very successful, but if he doesn't have the backing of Zhonghe, he will not be able to do the same...."

"I think it's a win-win for him to bring his team to join Zhonghe. Maybe the young man is too embarrassed to speak up and is waiting for me to invite him?"

A teasing smile emerged from the corner of Xiaowei's mouth, "Then you invite him to try. Why, can't you let go of your face as the boss of a listed company?"

"Of course not. Who cares about such useless things when the business reaches our level. It's just that I don't want to speak, because I have a feeling..."

"What do you feel?"

"He will definitely reject me. Although it seems unreasonable, that's how I feel. He never thought of joining Zhonghe. So I don't understand. What does he want to do in the future?"

Xiaowei put down his wine glass and exclaimed: "Good wine, I have to have another glass."

Then changed to a more comfortable position, and half-lyed on Gao Ping's sofa, watching Gao Ping secretly frowning.

Xiaowei's thoughts seemed to go back a long time ago, "When he first came to Tiangong, he encountered a test. Mihe Wei Shao wanted to buy a report from him with 50 yuan."

"90s? 50?" Gao Ping exclaimed in a low voice, "It's a huge sum of money, you can buy a house in Beijing."

"He refused. But he was greatly stimulated. Later, Yimu told me that he seemed to have been crying for a long time. He also applied for leave and stayed at home for two months before returning to the company."

Gao Ping sighed: "It's understandable, if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for half a year."

Xiaowei smiled and said, "I won't. Maybe I won't refuse at all..."

"This was the most confused moment I've ever seen him in his life, but since then, he has always seen clearly the way he wants to go. In a sense, Zhang Yong is actually harder to deal with than me. We all talk about Reasonable people are just our reasoning, outsiders may not understand it. My reasoning is actually not complicated, Lao Gao, you can easily understand it. But Zhang Yong's reasoning, I'm afraid even you and I may not understand it...."

"If he doesn't want to join Zhonghe, he must have his reasons. If you don't know his reasons, you will definitely not be able to convince him. You think the best result for him, but he may not think so. In fact, he and I still have a few I don’t care about enmity, I only care about happiness. But Zhang Yong, he is not as free and easy as me, he also likes happiness, but he is heavier than me.”

"I should understand it this way. He has a more sense of responsibility than you. Right? Xiaowei."

Xiaowei grinned, "Understand how you want, I also have my sense of responsibility, but in this world, there are not many people and things worthy of my responsibility..."

"By the way, regarding Zhang Yong's matter, you can look for his furious brother from M University. Maybe Zhang Yong will consider his words."

……

……

Sanmu Manor.

The driver Finley stopped his car, and it was time for afternoon tea again.He got out of the car and was very satisfied when he saw the snacks and coffee prepared on the table by Tianbian.

But soon, something unsatisfactory happened to him.

He had just poured himself a cup of coffee when he saw a group of Chinese pilots headed by a young man wearing glasses walking towards his car.

"Hey, what are you doing, go away, stay away from my car." He immediately yelled at the group of people.

Unlike in the past, this time everyone didn't get backed away by his yelling, but stood still and looked at the young man with glasses.

The young man didn't panic, and seemed to have smiled, which made him feel a little ominous.

The young man walked up to him, "Hello, may I know your name?" He spoke authentic American English.

"My name is Finley, who are you? Why are you bringing this group of people into my car?"

"Oh, let me correct you. There is no car here. All the cars belong to the Sanmu Group. As for me, my name is Zihao, and I am the supervisor of agricultural machinery temporarily appointed by Mr. Li. In other words, you are under my leadership now."

Finley put down the coffee in his hand heavily, and strode up to Yin Zihao, "I don't care who you appoint as the supervisor, I don't allow you to move my car. These cars are very expensive, and these Chinese drivers are very low-level. If The car is broken and you are responsible."

He was half a head taller than Yin Zihao, standing in front of Zihao, who was not considered strong, looked very oppressive.

Yin Zihao raised his head slightly, and looked at Finley calmly, with a bit of contempt in his calm, "I repeat, I am the new director of mechanical equipment. Now I want to do some work for our Chinese drivers. Training. If you are willing to participate, I welcome you to be my teaching assistant. If not, please continue to enjoy your coffee. Let me tell you one thing, I am more familiar with this model of agricultural machinery than you. Well, I hope You enjoyed your coffee today."

After Yin Zihao finished speaking, he gave Finley a decent smile, then turned around and waved at the Chinese pilots, "Let's go, let's continue. Then he dares to continue to obstruct, I don't mind you teaching him a lesson together."

The angry Finley really wanted to reach out and grab Yin Zihao's back collar, but he didn't know what the Chinese said. He found that all the Chinese pilots suddenly looked at him, with jokes, anger, and malicious intentions in their eyes. He felt a chill in his heart, stopped immediately, and did nothing.

Yin Zihao got into the car with two pilots, he operated the equipment skillfully, then the locomotive roared and drove to the depths of the field.

Finley froze when he heard another voice. "Thank the Lord, you didn't do anything. The last few words he said just now were to tell the group of workers that if you behave impolitely, they will repay you tenfold."

Finley turned around to find a Chinese sitting where he had been, enjoying his afternoon tea.

"Who the hell are you?"

"My name is Zhang Yong. Don't worry, I'm an outsider and have nothing to do with Sanmu. My colleagues are negotiating with Mr. Li and will replace some of the equipment on the Zhuanglu car with ours. And I have nothing to do, so I came out Enjoy afternoon tea with you..."

"I just have a friendly reminder. You'd better listen to Zihao. Mr. Li has given him enough authority. He can dismiss you at any time and send you back to China. As far as I know, you and Sanmu don't have a work contract. They should all stay here for training purposes. You don’t have a work visa, right? Do you think that only the United States has immigration? You can work here because Mr. Li has been protecting you.”

Finley's face turned red and then pale, and finally he sat down, and said in a low voice: "We are actually here for work, and we don't want to cause any trouble. I like China very much, and the people here are actually very friendly. If possible, I would like to Stay longer."

"You are right, Finley, the Chinese are very friendly. As long as you can show your kindness, we will naturally regard you as a friend."

Zhang Xiaoquan happily walked out of the room. After saying goodbye to Bruce Lee who sent him out, he quickly ran to Zhang Yong's side.

"It's all done. Not only is the SKydon equipment replaced on the car now, but ours is installed. Other cars around the world will also adopt our solution. At the same time, we will also sign a long-term cooperation strategic agreement. This is not my decision." Yes, I will go back and report to President Gao."

"Congratulations, Xiaoquan. But you don't have to worry about it now. Mr. Gao has already gone to the United States. Tell him the news as soon as possible. Believe me, he will definitely give you a big compliment."

"Haha, the reward is fine, but it's fun. Let me tell you something..."

"what?"

"Mihe's Wei Shao is back again. He called Mr. Li just now. He was not reconciled to being rejected by Mr. Li. This meeting should be on his way."

After a while, the two drove not far from the manor. When they saw two Beijing brand cars speeding towards them, Zhang Xiaoquan excitedly honked their horns as a greeting.Zhang Yong turned his head, only to find Wei Shao's handsome and angry face on the opposite car window.

Wei Shao waited in Beijing for a week, but did not receive any news from Sanmu, and finally felt a little uneasy.

At this time, Li Wenyu had just finished an international trip and returned to the company.After hearing Wei Shao's report, he immediately became serious.

"You said that Zhang Yong said in public that they had no chance, and then checked out under your noses, and drove on the highway. Is that right?"

"Yes."

Li Wenyu sighed, "You should contact Shandong as soon as possible. I think we may have lost our chance. What kind of person is Zhang Yong? If he wants to leave, he must have checked out long ago. How could he rush back at night and pay half a day's room fee? , and leave before you. . . . "
