Chapter 500: Self-defeating
On the sixth day after Landry arrived in Tianjing, he finally came to Zhou. He suggested that Xu Tao hold a grand welcoming ceremony, but Xu Tao immediately rejected it. When Landry and a group of people from Yier Company arrived at the company's gate, Xu Tao was still as stable as Mount Tai in his office.{p-a-o-s-h-u-8.c-o-M)
This made the employees in the company very puzzled. Isn’t it too arrogant to do this? Zhou is a big company in Tianjin and even in China, but compared with Yier Company, it is much worse. Although the person who came is not the president of Yier Company, the director of the overseas development department must not be ignored, as it is related to whether he can successfully cooperate with others.
Meng Ling couldn't help but worry about Xu Tao. During this period, she had already done a good job as the chairman and secretary. Xu Tao had other things in the company every day, and she could handle them in an orderly manner. Today, when she came to the company, she had everything she prepared for, but Xu Tao rejected.
"Director Landry has arrived at our company, and only Manager Liu is there. This is not good. If you don't greet him, it will be very rude." Meng Ling pushed Xu Tao, who was sitting there drinking tea with anxiety.
"Ha...wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for? They will leave."
Xu Tao shook his head and said, "No, it's not like that. What he dislikes the most are those false scenes. If I go out to greet him, it will only discount his impression of me. If I don't go out, he can see the scene in our company intuitively."
"This is really OK. It depends on how you usually welcome the city party committee leader to our company."
"That's different. Those municipal committee directors like to give people a high look. They like to pay attention to those pomp, so they have to do that. Landry is different. Not only does he not like them, but he also hates them very much. The other companies set up big battles when Landry arrived, which itself makes Landry very disgusted. Their company has given a discount in Landry's eyes. Do you think... will there be so many idle people in a really good company to welcome? Employees can put down their work and do those pomp, so what will the company look like? And... there are special reception people in every company. It is appropriate for me to ask Manager Liu to take a few people over now."
"Oh." Although Xu Tao said it very clearly, Meng Ling was still very nervous. This was the first time she had seen such a thing, and the four giants tried their best to please Landry, but they didn't know how much benefits they gave Landry. However, Xu Tao not only did not prepare any gifts for Landry, but he didn't even welcome him.
After drinking tea for a long time, Xu Tao took Meng Ling out of the office. No one was taken by his side. Then he went to the reception room downstairs.
"Director Landry. I'm really sorry that I still have some work in my hands just now. It's really rude to deal with it in time to welcome him." As soon as Xu Tao entered, he smiled and accompanied Landry.
Landry had no expression on his face: "Chairman Xu is really busy. Is it more important that your affairs are more important than working with us?"
As soon as he said this, Ling's face turned pale. Landry was obviously unhappy about Xu Tao not coming out to pick him up. Manager Liu and several other company employees also looked at Xu Tao nervously. They did not agree with this reception method. But Xu Tao insisted on this. Now there is trouble.
Xu Tao smiled faintly and said, "No matter whether it is a big or small matter, as long as I, Xu Tao, have to do it. And I have to do it well. Can you cooperate with Yier Company? That is naturally the top priority of our company. However, cooperation is not a matter of work overnight. And you cannot decide on the matter immediately. It doesn't have a big impact every day or later. But if I put down the work in my hands, it is likely to bring losses to our company. Isn't it a pity to have such losses? It's also my chairman's dereliction of duty?"
Landry stared at Xu Tao, and there was still no expression on his face. Now he came to Zhou just to work. He completely put his friendship with Xu Tao aside. He no longer had the intimacy with Xu Tao at the airport at that time.
The employees in the reception room held their breath at this time. Landry's next words obviously determined the future and destiny of Zhou, but Xu Tao looked at Landry quietly.
"Ha..." Landry suddenly laughed, then stretched out his hand to Xu Tao and said, "Jack, it seems that we are not only good friends, but also very likely to become partners."
Xu Tao held Landry's hand heavily and said, "I have always been very confident in this. There is a saying among Chinese people, "Birds of birds fly together, and people live together. We are like alike. Not only do we become friends because of our tempers, but we will also be very successful in cooperation."
"The smell is similar? Although I am a man, I don't seem to smell bad either." Landry raised his other arm and sniffed it under his nose.
"Ha..." Xu Tao also laughed and said, "It seems that your Chinese is still not up to standard. This stinking smell means that our tempers and hobbies are similar, so we can become good friends."
Landry laughed loudly and said, "So that's it. Today I learned another idiom. I have gained a lot, but I have gained a lot."
Meng Ling and the employees of Zhou were all secretly relieved, with smiles on their faces, and admiring eyes for Xu Tao. It is no secret that Landry went to other companies. Zhou had already received a lot of information. After Landry arrived at the four companies, although he was polite in terms of face, he did not reveal any attitude towards cooperation. When Zhou arrived at the four companies, he actually revealed his intention to cooperate. Although there was no real cooperation yet, the opportunity must be much greater than that of the four companies.
After making a joke, the atmosphere here became much more relaxed. Meng Ling distributed some information to everyone in the Italian company, and then Xu Tao briefly introduced Zhou.
Landry heard it very well, and the expression on his face was very cautious, which made Xu Tao secretly praise him. He worked when he should work, had fun when he should play, and had fun when he should play, and had fun when he should work, and was just a slight slightest. This is a real man.
Next, Xu Tao took Rand to several important departments of the Zhou family, and Xu Tao also gave in advance that no matter where he went, the employees and leaders there would do whatever they should do, and no one dared to do anything in detail.
"Yes, Director Xu's company atmosphere is very good." Landry nodded directly when he saw it. In fact, every company is afraid that it will be like this under normal operating conditions. However, in order to get involved in the relationship with Landry, the four giants tried every means to show some welcomed pomp, which made Landry unable to see the company's real business situation. Instead, it had a counterproductive effect. Xu Tao did nothing here, which gave Landry the most real Zhou family. Even if there were some minor problems, Landry didn't mind.
"You have passed the award. Our company has experienced some twists and turns before, many things have not yet made real progress, and there are still many unsatisfactory aspects. They cannot be improved overnight. This is far worse than those old companies that have been around for many years."
The Zhou employees who accompanied Tao couldn't help but frown secretly. Others' bosses must have tried their best to cover up the shortcomings of their company at this time. However, Xu Tao not only criticized himself for his shortcomings, but also praised his competitors in his words. This was not to cooperate with Yier Company, it was simply to push the cooperation outward.
Actually, we didn't know what Xu Tao thought. Although Xu Tao didn't know much about Callandri, he also saw what kind of person he was. Before Landri came here, why didn't he investigate the major companies here? How could he not know about the major events that happened to Zhou? The two abnormal changes of ownership, how could such a company have no impact on the company's operations? It's not a way to hide it at all. At this time, he took the initiative to speak out, which made him even more honest.
Landry indeed smiled and said, "Do you have an old saying that is good? You can break it and then build it. Like many countries in the late World War II, although they suffered from the trauma of war, they directly used the most advanced science and technology at the time when they rebuilt. Without those ancient products that they were reluctant to throw away, they developed faster."
"Ha... Director Carl is really knowledgeable. You are right. Our Zhou family is now breaking and then establishing it. Eliminating all the conservative and the cancers in the company. Although it is difficult for the time being, I believe that in the future, our Zhou family will definitely enter the channel of rapid development."
"I don't have any knowledge, but I just happened to know this sentence, ha..." After saying that, he and Xu Tao both laughed.
The employees of Zhou's family are all amazed. This large foreign group is really different from the companies here. Xu Tao can tolerate this and seem to appreciate it. However, on the other hand, if they are in the position of Landry, they will choose the partner to cooperate with a company like Xu Tao. Who would like to cooperate with a company that hides all the problems and discovers the problems after real cooperation. At that time, it would be too late to regret it. Now that we know the problem, we can try our best to avoid it when we cooperate in the future. We will make decisions and will be realistic and will not take detours.
