Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 489: Still Focusing on Exchange and Win-win
Regarding Jiang Huaqin's matter, Xu Zhiquan smoked and talked about some trivial things he had heard from others, which also let Xu Chen know some inside stories.

In his early years, Jiang Huaqin worked in a car distribution company, where he was responsible for the channel distribution of a Beijing-based automobile manufacturer.

Later, Jiang Huaqin left the car dealership system and started his own business, "Datuo Car Dealership", to sell electric cars.

As for why he left the car dealership system, there are still many rumors...

The market system, laws and regulations in that era were not perfect, and business operations were not completely "black or white". There were too many gray areas, and also some unclear and inexplicable operating space.

Jiang Huaqin's first pot of gold was probably accumulated within the automobile dealership system.

He later founded "Datuo Motors" and started selling electric vehicles, relying on some of his original connections and resources.

In the past one or two years, some of Jiang Huaqin's connections and resources have run into problems, which has made Boss Jiang sense some risks and crises, and he is afraid of getting into trouble.

Boss Jiang naturally would not sit idly by and wait for death, but took a number of measures.

One of the key measures is to smooth out and settle a certain "relationship" in advance, and that person is Meng Huiyang's father-in-law who is currently at "Red Star".

This is why a series of subsequent events occurred...

Xu Zhiquan just roughly talked about these pieced-together "rumors" and then said:

“Most of the big businessmen of that era had things that were hard to explain.

But there is nothing wrong with this.

Due to the factors of the times, it is impossible to judge completely by current standards...

I did ask around about Jiang Huaqin. He has good character and good manners, and is very loyal in business. Otherwise, Datuo Car Company wouldn't have grown to such a large scale."

Lao Xu took a puff of his cigarette, was silent for a moment, and then continued:
"In those years, I was just starting to run a factory in a small place like Tiancheng. If I were in a place like Beijing or Tianjin where there are abundant resources and connections..."

He smiled again, as if to mock himself:
"But fortune and misfortune are interdependent. No one can predict the words 'fate' and 'luck'."

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Dad, hasn't your business already spread to Beijing and Tianjin?"

Xu Zhiquan smiled brightly, not trying to hide his pride.

……

Later, Xu Chen also sat in on the meeting between General Manager Xu and the production department.

Yang Congxin led the team and discussed the next production plan with Xu Zhiquan.

Currently, the two production lines are operating at full capacity, and the overall production process has been improved to a very high efficiency after iteration and optimization over the past few months.

Both production lines were introduced from Zhejiang Province last year.

According to Yang Congxin, after adjustments and optimizations by "Morning Wind Technology", the current production efficiency of the production line has completely surpassed the original production line level in Zhejiang Province.

In addition, arrangements are already being made to move in new production lines to the new park being built in the north.

The production line in the new park is a brand new production line to be introduced from Yamaha of Japan, and will also cooperate with IBM's management system.

After the introduction of this system, "Morning Breeze Technology" will become the domestic electric vehicle factory with the highest production efficiency and the most advanced production technology...

"Mr. Xu" had not cared much about these things before, but he did not expect that his father Xu Zhiquan and Yang Congxin and others had pushed things to this point.

This made Xu Chen look at him with a new respect.

In addition, Yang Congxin's technical team has also replaced its staff in the past six months.

Several top students who graduated from 985 universities have been newly recruited. They are all "experts" in the field of motors, batteries and electronic controls. The technical soft power of "Morning Wind Technology" is also accelerating.

In order to attract these good talents, Lao Xu naturally offered a very attractive salary.

In addition, the Tiancheng Municipal Government also has a policy to support the "talent introduction" of enterprises.

It helped to provide a two-bedroom, one-living-room talent apartment to live in, and there are also favorable policies for buying a house and settling in Tiancheng in the future, which will also be of great help to "Morning Wind Technology" in recruiting talents now and in the future.

Naturally, these things were initiated after Wu Yongming came to power.

It has to be said that Wu Yongming is indeed a good leader with vision and decisiveness.

……

……

Before leaving, Xu Chen went to have a meal with Sister Fang Jun.

Fang Jun has been very busy recently.

The cooperation between "Morning Wind Technology" and "Datuo Automotive Dealership", as well as Director Yang's production line expansion, involves a huge amount of financial inventory and planning work.

Fang Jun and several young people from the Finance Department have been working overtime every day during this period.

Xu Chen specially found a fish restaurant to treat everyone. He already knew that Sister Fang Jun actually loved eating fish, which she herself might not be aware of.

Fang Jun talked about Bingge's game in Europe in April, and expressed regret that he was too busy with work to go.

Ruan Zihao, the newly hired financial brother of Hucheng Company, is also in Tiancheng at this moment, doing process training in the Finance Department.

It is said that he was forced to drink by Fang Jun on the day he arrived, and he blacked out that night. He was carried back to the hotel by Gu Xuewei from the Finance Department.

After Ruan Zihao woke up, he was grabbed by Fang Jun's sister and asked to help with the tedious work at hand.

Xu Chen joked:

"How about giving it to you for half a year first?"

Fang Jun chewed a piece of fish and said expressionlessly:

"That's not necessary. You have a lot of things piled up at Ranbing Sports. Even if it's not Ruan Zihao who is doing it, it will be Jiang Xiaozhen on my side who will handle it."

Xu Chen smiled cutely and filled Sister Fang Jun's cup of tea.

Xu Chen left another set of keys to the house in Tiansheng Mansion with Fang Jun.

The main reason is that I won’t be back for a long time, and I still need someone to visit me occasionally.

Fang Jun took the key and seemed a little happy:
"Then I'll arrange for someone to clean it every month."

Xu Chen: "It's not that troublesome. Just check the water, electricity and gas regularly. Safety comes first."

Fang Jun: "Your house is empty anyway, can I store some wine in it?"

Xu Chen was amused and helpless:
"My dad built you a bar in the park, but that's not enough for you to mess around with?"

Fang Jun had a blank expression on his face: "The wine stored in the park is all the company's wine, and I also need to store some for myself.

I can’t hide the wine in my family, and I don’t feel comfortable renting a house outside to store it.”

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Fang Jun, just store it. You can fill up the whole room.

But when I come back from vacation, I will buy you two bottles of good wine."

Fang Jun: "That's easy. I'll give you interest on the appreciation of the aged wine."

Xu Chen: "As expected of the God of Wealth, he is really calculating."

……

Before leaving Tiancheng, Xu Chen drove to Nanhe Village.

I swept the grave for Xie Bingran’s grandmother.

Grandma's grave had been visited by worshippers. Xu Chen asked Fang Tao about it and found out that it was Brother Bing who had asked Fang Tao to come here during the Qingming Festival.

……

…On Friday noon, Xu Chen rushed back to school exhausted.

I didn’t have time to eat lunch, so I went to the supermarket to buy some bread and water, and then hurried to the classroom for class.

The rules are still the same as last semester. If you take too many absences from each course, you will automatically fail the course. But if you can go to class, you still have to study hard.

Xu Chen went straight to the back row of the classroom. Qian Xin, the "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang", patted the seat next to him, and Xu Chen smiled and went over to sit next to him.

Turning around, I saw Qian Xin was wearing a colorful coat, which was a new spring model from Louis Vuitton.

This is also a model in the series endorsed by Xie Bingran, but the one worn by Brother Bing in the advertisement is the designer's concept model, which is slightly different from the one sold to the public.

It must be said that the "Little Prince of Jiangsu and Zhejiang"'s boastful personality is indeed very suitable for high-profile and exaggerated clothes like Louis Vuitton.

Since Xie Bingran won another gold medal at the "National Track and Field Championships" at the end of last month, the brands she endorses have also stepped up their promotions to take advantage of the popularity.

Whether it is Louis Vuitton, Jeep or Kunlun Mountain, there are more visible advertising and public relations topics.

Even the educational store of Tonghai University has been stocked with Kunlun Mountain mineral water and displayed a huge poster of Xie Bingran.

Xu Chen just went to the supermarket to buy bread, and was shocked when he suddenly saw Brother Bing’s big poster.

There's a sense of surprise and trance as if a little foodie suddenly bumps into you.

When he saw clearly that it was just a human-shaped stand, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Brother Bing has already returned to Beijing and is currently training at the "Training Bureau" of the General Administration of Sports. He will be going to Europe at the end of the month to participate in a truly "international competition."

Xu Chen was still secretly nervous and excited for Brother Bing.

……

During the afternoon class, Xu Chen found an excuse to contact Director Li Yue of the General Administration of Sports.

Later, "Morning Wind Technology" wanted to have some commercial cooperation with the Olympics, and this matter had to be entrusted to Li Yue, so he first looked for an opportunity to chat and get close to him.

At this time, Xu Chen sent a message to Li Yue, and the topic they talked about was naturally still Bing Ge’s recent endorsement.

Li Yue said that some brands and businesses have approached him recently, wanting to seek endorsement or business cooperation with Xie Bingran.

But most of them were not suitable, so Li Yue did not communicate or discuss with Xu Chen.

Some of them are because the brands or products do not pass the test. For example, some health supplements that are not very compliant cannot pass the initial screening of the national team and the General Administration of Sports.

Some others were very interested, but when they asked about Xie Bingran's current endorsement fee, they were scared and backed off.

At this time, Li Yue would push some second-tier athletes over, such as senior sister Chen Lan, who won the silver medal in the Asian Games.

As for Xie Bingran's next commercial cooperation, Director Li Yue is not in a hurry in general. According to him, Xie Bingran's commercial value will rise after the April competition.

As Xie Bingran's endorsement fees increase, more big brands may pay attention and approach her.

Of course, for Li Yue, the more business he can negotiate for Brother Bing, the better.

This is related to the commercial benefits of the national team as well as Li Yue's personal performance and promotion.

[There is one more thing. I would like to find time to talk to Director Li Yue about it...] Xu Chen left a message.

Li Yue waited for a while before replying:

[Mr. Xu said this, it seems that this is a serious matter.]

Then let’s make a phone call to talk in detail! 】

Xu Chen: [Director Li Yue really understands me. Is Director Li free later in the evening? I'll call you.]

Li Yue: [Okay, wait! ]

……

After class in the afternoon, Xu Chen found a quiet classroom in the North Teaching Building and called Director Li Yue.

He went straight to the point and stated the demands of "Morning Breeze Technology".

There is naturally no need to hide the need for this kind of business cooperation.

Of course, Xu Chen also emphasized that he needed Director Li Yue's help in private:
"We haven't taken the initiative to contact the Olympic Games and the Olympic Committee yet, so we came to contact the powerful Director Li Yue first..."

"The main thing is that we, 'Morning Wind Technology', are a startup company after all, and we don't have enough budget to support the main line of Olympic commercial cooperation."

"I want to see if there are any secondary lines or peripheral cooperation forms that are more cost-effective..."

“Director Li Yue also met my father when he went to Tiancheng.

He is actually a person with a strong sense of patriotism. After seeing the publicity for the Olympics, he also wanted to make some contribution to the Olympics. Besides, Xie Bingran was going to participate in the Olympics. "

"So in terms of direction, it might be something like 'the Olympic Committee designates the electric vehicle partner' or 'the Olympic Village officially designates the electric vehicle'. Is that feasible?"

……

After listening to everything, Li Yue naturally understood all of Xu Chen's demands, both explicit and implicit.

He paused for a moment and said:

“Thank you Mr. Xu for your trust. I may be able to help with this matter.

The current leader of the Olympic Committee who is in charge of business investment was previously my colleague in the same system, and we also have some private friendship.

I'll go talk to him in detail.

But it may not be that fast, Mr. Xu needs to wait for a while."

Xu Chen: "Great, I'll leave it to Director Li.

I'm not in a hurry. I'm waiting for Director Li's news."

Li Yue: "Mr. Xu, you don't have to be polite to me. We have been helping each other for so long, and I will definitely help with these things that come handy.

What’s more, there is Brother Bing in the middle…”

Li Yue still has a high emotional intelligence and is eloquent, and he delivered a series of polite remarks.

But at the end, he added:
"Brother Bing's business cooperation, Mr. Xu and Dongchen Advertising, please also pay more attention to them in the industry!"

What he meant was, of course, that he hoped Xu Chen could also help Bing Ge get more commercial endorsements.

Li Yue smiled on the phone and continued:

"Although I am not worried about Brother Bing's future business cooperation, don't we still have KPIs for the first half of the year..."

Xu Chen couldn't help but smile, and took the opportunity to raise a request to "Mr. Xu".

Director Li Yue is worthy of being a person engaged in business cooperation. He still emphasizes exchange and win-win.

Smart Director Li...

Xu Chen naturally would not refuse. In fact, he had been paying attention to it. After all, it could also help Brother Bing make money.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chen said:

“No problem, I’m already watching over Brother Bing!
If there is a suitable one, I will contact Director Li Yue as soon as possible. "

Li Yue: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu!

As for Bing Ge, you know, she is very picky about some of the collaborations I recommend to her, including attending some events, and she doesn't really care about them.

But Brother Bing will definitely not hesitate about the cooperation that Mr. Xu is pushing forward..."
