Chapter 127 Fake foreign devils

"What's going on? Didn't you say they won't come until next week? Why did they come all of a sudden?" Zhou Nan was startled, and immediately lost his sleepiness, and asked quickly.

"I don't know. I heard that they have other business arrangements next week, so they changed it to this week. Mr. Zhou, you have to hurry up. It's too late. If they arrive at the airport and our people haven't arrived yet,

That would be very rude." Dai Long said with a smile, "I have sent you a car and it is waiting downstairs. You can leave at any time!"

Although it is said that office director Dai Long was promoted to assistant general manager together with Zhou Nan, in fact, this had nothing to do with Dai Long at all.

Dai Long was still the office director. Seeing Zhou Nan, who was much younger than himself, making rapid progress like a rocket, it was impossible for him to say that he didn't have any ideas.

But the workplace is not your own place. In many cases, heroes are not judged based on their "qualifications". There is no use in being jealous, you can only accept the reality.

"Okay, I'll rush over right away!" Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

After putting down the phone, Zhou Nan dialed Meng Chunting's number.

Meng Chunting picked up the phone, frowned and said softly, "Why haven't you left yet? They are almost here, and the flight from Hong Kong to Haidu is about to land..."

"I'll leave right away. I just feel that the company sent me alone to greet him? Isn't this a bit rude..." Zhou Nan asked in a low voice. His meaning was very clear. Although he was an assistant to the general manager, he was really

In terms of status, he is still not as good as the vice president of the company. It can even be said that he is not on the same level and grade. Zhou Nan will not belittle himself, but he will also not be arrogant.

Moreover, at his age, he has already sat in the position of assistant to the general manager, and has the administrative position of deputy director of the Administration Office of the Municipal Construction Committee (at the department level), which is already considered very impressive.

In order to show "respect" to Hong Kong Lan's enterprise, should the company send a team deputy to greet him in person? This is Zhou Nan's true mentality.

But Meng Chunting said nonchalantly, "Just go. You are also a member of the team and the assistant to the general manager. You are equivalent to the vice president of the company. Just take over. Besides, they are just one person.

Vice President, can you still allow me to greet him in person?"

"You have been taking the lead on this matter. If I don't go out, I have to let you go. The other leaders are not in charge of this matter, so who can come forward? Zhou Nan, you arrange for them to stay. At the welcome banquet in the evening, I

I used to participate, but as for other leaders, there is no need to participate."

Meng Chunting waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and leave! Call me if you need anything!"

Zhou Nan knew in his heart that Meng Chunting was still thinking about him after all. If Zhou Nanlai had taken the lead in this matter from beginning to end, and the cooperation was successful in the future, the results would belong to Zhou Nan alone. But if other leaders of the company were involved, I am afraid that

Nothing happens to Zhou Nan anymore, although Zhou Nan is still the one doing the specific work.

…

Zhou Nan took Dong Qiliang, deputy manager and director of the General Office of Xinghai Company, to the airport. Halfway through the car, he suddenly remembered that if there were ladies among the people coming, he would not be able to receive them here, so he called the businessman

The director of the department, Ma Xiaojing, also came over by taxi.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Nan received a representative of Lan's Enterprise at the airport—actually a representative of Lanli Energy Investment Group, a subsidiary of Lan's Enterprise Group, and a direct subordinate of Lan Ruo.

One of the people coming is Zhang John, the director and deputy general manager of Lanli Energy Investment Group, the other is Liu Jie, the director of the investment management department of Lanli Energy Investment Group, and the other is Lan Ruo’s assistant, Mystere, assistant to the president of Lanli Energy Investment Group.

These three people are considered to be senior executives of Lanli Energy Investment Group Company. In addition to these three people, there are also two attachés, a total of five people.

John Zhang is a young man who is about 27 or 27 years old and has an arrogant and arrogant expression. Just by looking at his name, Zhou Nan guessed that he was probably a mixed race. Later, when he saw John Zhang in person with his aquiline nose and sunken eye sockets,

This confirmed Zhou Nan's guess.

Liu Jie, the director of the investment management department of Lanli Energy Investment Group, is an authentic Chinese, born and raised in Hong Kong. He speaks Cantonese and Mandarin, smiles when he speaks, and gives people the impression that he is very peaceful.

But Zhou Nan knew in his heart that in the shopping mall, the more "honest people" like Liu Jie were, the more difficult it would be to deal with them.

Lan Ruo's assistant Mystere's Chinese name is Lin Xueer. This name reminds Zhou Nan of a brand of perfume.

She is a Chinese born and raised in the UK. She graduated from university and later developed her career in Hong Kong. She is Lan Ruo's highly paid personal business assistant. She is proficient in English, Chinese, Japanese and Malay. She has a delicate appearance and is very fashionable in her clothes.

Although it is still early spring, when the weather is still warm and cold, Lin Xueer is still wearing a thin professional skirt, just putting on a fur coat. Her long black hair hangs down her shoulders, and she wears a beige coat.

, milky white long

Dressed in riding boots and smiling like a flower, Lin Xueer's appearance added a touch of vivid spring color to the cold and lonely Haidu Airport. Her decent and fashionable Hong Kong-style attire and pretty face made Ma Xiaojing standing aside stare at her for a long time.

envious.

"Mr. Zhang, this is our Mr. Zhou!" Dong Qiliang introduced John Zhang and Zhou Nan to each other with a smile. John Zhang glanced at Zhou Nan lightly, his expression a little cold.

Zhang John felt very uncomfortable because Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation only sent a general manager assistant to receive him.

In his opinion, he is a senior executive of Lan's Enterprise. How big is Lan's Enterprise? It is the most prominent company in Hong Kong's economic circle. The senior executive of Lan's Enterprise came to Haidu, a small mainland coastal city.

It is not too much to say that Meng Chunting, the top leader of the Metropolitan Petroleum and Gas Corporation, should personally come out to greet him.

At the worst, a vice president should be sent over. How to get a young assistant to the general manager to come forward?

At the same time, the welcoming scene at the airport was not as warm as John Zhang imagined. This made John Zhang not feel the sincerity of Haidu City, and he also felt that he was not respected enough, so he naturally felt very unhappy.

He originally didn't agree with Lan Ruo's decision to cooperate with a small state-owned medium-sized enterprise in Haidu City, but now that he came to it, the idea of ​​cooperation in his heart quickly cooled down.

The Zhang family, where John Zhang belongs, is also a wealthy family in Hong Kong, with more than a dozen family businesses. Of course, it is incomparable to a wealthy family like the Lan family.

Lanli Energy Investment Group is a joint-stock company established by Lan's Enterprise and Zhang's Enterprise. Lan's Enterprise holds 80% of the shares and Zhang's Enterprise holds 20%. Therefore, John Zhang invested in Lanli Energy on behalf of Zhang's Enterprise.

Served as director and deputy general manager of the group.

Zhang John didn't know much about business and management, and he was regarded as a "freeloader" in Lanli Energy Investment Group. He rushed to come to Haidu this time, and Lan Ruo hesitated for a long time before agreeing to his request. However, at the same time,

Liu Jie and Lin Xueer were also dispatched as key members of the negotiation team.

From Lan Ruo's point of view, John Zhang was just a casual tourist and the real business negotiations were completed by Liu Jie and Lin Xueer.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang!" Zhou Nan smiled and stretched out his hand.

John Zhang glanced at Zhou Nan haughtily.

How could John Zhang, who thought he came from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, still look at Zhou Nan, an assistant to the general manager of a mainland company? He smiled faintly, stretched out his hand for Zhou Nan to shake, then frowned and said, "Where is your Mr. Meng?"

?We came from Hong Kong and our time is very tight. We have to go to another city to discuss projects next week. We don’t have much time to stay in Haidu. Please hurry up and ask Mr. Meng to come over..."

Who is Zhou Nan? In his previous life, he was an all-powerful super-rich man. He was able to move freely in the shopping mall and saw many big events.

Observing his words and his expression, Zhou Nan immediately understood: the proud fake foreign devil in front of him must have disliked his lack of status and felt that he had been neglected and neglected, so he began to "show off his face".

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, because you suddenly changed the itinerary, which made us feel a little sudden. Mr. Meng went to the city for a meeting in the afternoon and couldn't spare the time for the time being... Haha, Mr. Zhang, please forgive me. In the evening, Mr. Meng will

I personally hosted a banquet for you all!"

"Mr. Zhou, you're welcome. We talked on the phone several times, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would be so young!"

"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Lin Xueer, Director Lan's assistant."

What John Zhang wanted to say, Liu Jie and Lin Xueer came forward to shake hands with Zhou Nan and exchange greetings. Fortunately for Liu Jie, he and Zhou Nan had spoken on the phone several times. Although they had not met in person, they were considered acquaintances.

Very friendly.

Lin Xueer looked at Zhou Nan seriously, with a smile flashing in her beautiful eyes. When shaking hands with Zhou Nan, she suddenly smiled softly and said, "Mr. Zhou, when I came, Director Lan specifically told me

I, you want me to meet Mr. Zhou and convey to you her greetings to you, a college classmate!"

"Haha, how about Director Lan?" Zhou Nan had a sterile smile on his face, but there was a slight wave in his heart.

Suddenly, he was very much looking forward to meeting Lan Ruo again - but he didn't know when the reunion would be.

…

Zhou Nan, along with Dong Qiliang and Ma Xiaojing, arranged for Zhang John and his party of five to stay at the Haidu Hotel.

In the evening, Meng Chunting came over in person and hosted a banquet for the negotiators of Lan Enterprises in a private room in the small banquet hall on the second floor of Haidu Hotel. Because the other party had a tight schedule and would leave Haidu for the capital the day after tomorrow, so

The dinner ended in a hurry, and the first round of cooperation negotiations began immediately in the small conference room of Haidu Hotel.

In fact, the preliminary intention for this cooperation has long been signed by Lan Ruo and Meng Chunting. After such a long time, Zhou Nan has also gone back and forth with Lan Enterprises several times, and they have basically reached a consensus on many details of the cooperation.

.The only area of ​​controversy is the dispute over equity.

Lanli Energy insisted on holding a controlling stake, and the same was true for Zhou Nan. After communicating with Lan Ruo on the phone, Zhou Nan proposed an alternative plan: Lanli Energy would hold 46% of the equity of the new company, and Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation would be the investor.

On behalf of Xinghai Company, it also holds 45% of the shares of the new company, and the remaining 9% of the shares will be set up by the labor union of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation to establish an employee stock ownership meeting to attract internal employees to invest in the shares.

Since then, Lanli Energy has a relatively weak advantage as a controlling shareholder, and although Xinghai Company cannot control it, because 9% of the shares are still in the hands of the Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Association, it will not be in the Xinhai Company.

The company has lost its voice.

The chairman of the board will be appointed by someone from Lanli Energy, while the vice chairman and general manager will be appointed by Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, and the financial director will be appointed by Lanli Energy to be stationed in the company to supervise the financial affairs.

To be honest, this plan takes into account the interests of both parties and should be a more appropriate plan. At the company party committee meeting, Zhou Nan proposed this plan and was applauded by all party committee leaders. He is indeed a business genius who studied economics.

Probably only Zhou Nan could come up with such a wonderful alternative.

This plan was agreed in principle by Lan Ruo. However, she proposed to revise some details, such as the composition of the board of directors, the distribution of quotas for both parties, etc. The purpose of Zhang John and his party coming to Haidu was

That's it.

But unexpectedly, Zhang John suddenly completely rejected Zhou Nan's plan. His "turn of face" not only made Meng Chunting frown, but also surprised Zhou Nan, and even Liu Jie, who came with Zhang John

Lin Xueer and Lin Xueer were also very surprised.

But Lin Xueer and Liu Jie knew Zhang John's character very well. After thinking about it for a while, they understood that Zhang John might not necessarily completely overturn this cooperation (of course, he did not have the power to do so - Director

How could he easily overturn what Chang Lanruo had decided personally?) It was nothing more than being dissatisfied with the "snubbing" received from Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation this afternoon, and he was deliberately making things difficult as a "retaliation".

Lin Xueer sighed inwardly. Although he was a second-generation ancestor, he was nominally the "leader" of the group and was also the director and vice president of the group company. Naturally, he could speak on behalf of Lanli Energy Investment Group outside. John Zhang

In this case, it was naturally inappropriate for Lin Xueer and Liu Jie to interrupt him on the spot and make him look embarrassed.

Zhou Nan let out a sigh of relief and secretly complained to Lan Ruo about why he sent such an arrogant, stupid and ignorant second generation ancestor. This kind of person comes out to discuss business, but he fails more than he succeeds.
To be continued...
