Chen Taizhong originally wanted to go to Beijing as soon as possible, and then take Rhone-Poulenc's people to Phoenix to sign the agreement. Unexpectedly, just when he was about to buy a ticket, he received a call from Wu Yan.
Mayor Wu told him two things. The first one was not a good thing. She had decided that Zhang Lingling, the section chief of the Business Section 1, would be in charge of the daily work of the Investment Promotion Office.
, but that’s it, she is very satisfied.”
"Then my second business department is about to be bullied?" Chen Taizhong quit after hearing this, "That woman Zhang Lingling is so petty, how could you even think of letting her take charge?"
"Do you want Li Jifeng to be in charge?" Mayor Bai was a little unhappy after hearing this, "I won't sit back and let her do nothing about your second subject. In fact, her resentment towards you is not that big now.
She has been in charge of the Investment Promotion Office for a while, and already knows almost everything about it. In addition, she has heard some things from pillows in the past. Of course, she knows that Zhang Lingling, the chief of the business section, and the general office, director Li Jifeng and Chen Taizhong are not dealing with it.
However, it is the lesser of two evils. She knows very well that the grievance between Section Chief Zhang and the Chen family is just a failed attempt at sexual intercourse. Director Li is the boss who has "fought" with Taizhong. "Zhang Lingling's professional ability is
It’s still good. I’ll remove Li Jifeng’s director later. Are you satisfied?”
Chen Taizhong was still hesitant, but he didn't expect classmate Xiaobai to be annoyed, "I have Zhong Yunqiu by my side, and the rumors about you two put a lot of pressure on me. Do you know? It is also good for me to reuse a woman who is not in tune with you."
Have you ever thought about it for me?"
"Okay, am I wrong? Chen Taizhong's current emotional intelligence, of course, he immediately understood the meaning of these words. He smiled bitterly, "I don't have any objection to her being promoted to deputy director. I said Mayor Bai, second
What's the matter?
The second thing is a suggestion. As the deputy mayor in charge of the investment promotion office, Wu Yan also heard that the Rhône-Poulenc deal was finalized, but she did not support Chen Taizhong coming back to attend the signing ceremony. She had her own ideas.
.
"You have a good relationship with the people in Rhône-Poulenc, so you'd better do some work with them to fight for this. Don't sign the agreement in Phoenix, put it in Paris, and on the day when your office in Europe is inaugurated, as a
Congratulatory gifts, signed on the spot.”
This suggestion was indeed quite good, and Chen Taizhong reacted immediately. However, considering the specific operation, he hesitated a little, "Xiaobai, in this case, Duan Weihua will be the one in the spotlight, not you."
The Investment Promotion Office is under the control of Wu Yan, but the European Office is under the control of Mayor Duan Weihua. Chen Taizhong doesn't mind letting Mayor Duan share the fruits of victory, but he is still a little unhappy if the fruits are snatched from Xiaobai's hands.
"With your concern, I am satisfied." Wu Yan sighed quietly over the phone, "I know you have many ways to make friends, but now that we are open, the more festive things we can do, the better.
In fact, she still has a layer of worry, but she can't say it out loud. Taizhong's ability is indeed quite strong, but ability alone is not enough to do things these days. It also depends on luck. This time you look like you will be promoted.
Yes, but I don’t know how many people are still waiting to see your joke. With the establishment of the European Office, no business can be brokered for a while. Doesn’t it give others a handle to attack?
With an establishment of four people and a start-up fund of one million US dollars, this level of support and attention will easily cause other people to misunderstand if things go wrong.
Unfortunately, she could think of this reason, but it was not appropriate to tell Chen Taizhong. She was very aware of his fiery temperament. Once he talked about it, he would definitely not agree. She could even imagine what he would say, "Bai,
Isn’t it just some business? You think I can’t do it? You’re being naughty again.”
Chen Taizhong did not expect this possibility. He was too confident in himself, but he noticed another important point, "Xiaobai, Yaodong, I'm afraid you will be very angry if you make such a suggestion."
When signing the contract in Phoenix, it was the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government who showed their faces. Judging from the importance Zhang Yaodong attached to this matter, it is very likely that the Municipal Party Committee was ranked ahead of the Municipal Government. Coupled with the mayor Wu Yan in charge, it was a very popular thing.
"It's rare that you can understand my difficulties." Mayor Bai gave another wry smile and lowered his voice a little lower. "However, he is not that bad, but he is very important to you. Don't you think so?
.
"Haha, that's right." I don't know why, but after hearing her words, Chen Taizhong always felt a little weird in his heart. After laughing twice, he hung up the phone and shook his head again, trying to drive away the feeling.
Classmate Xiaobai’s suggestion was very good, so the Chen family thought about the listing of the European Office. Do they need to give it a try?
Originally, he had no such idea. Chen Dashian always focused on doing practical things. Ceremonies were not important, and he knew it well. The European Office sounded like a new initiative, but it was just a temporary arrangement given by Zhang Yaodong to himself.
The place of placement not only saves you from being an eyesore in the Science and Technology Committee, but also serves as a reward for your behavior of understanding the general situation and taking the overall situation into account.
Of course, it is unrealistic to say that Secretary Zhang put in so much effort just to stage a farce. Everyone is generally optimistic about Director Chen's development in Europe, but obviously, if you want to do things well these days, you only need to have
Good subjective wishes are not enough.
More importantly, not only was everyone dubious about the Office in Europe, Chen Taizhong himself had no plans to stay in Europe, so he had no intention of taking care of this matter. Unexpectedly, Mayor Bai was very serious, which made him a little interested.
The brothers who were stationed in Europe were promoted, not marginalized! The Chen family quickly found a reason for themselves, so the opening of the European office must be properly handled.
He had to go to Beijing. He quickly made up his mind and made a phone call to contact Yiliuli. Only then did he find out that the foreign minister had gone to the city with Secretary Meng, and he was gone within two days.
He couldn't tell, but he said hello to Liu Sai and left, leaving behind a message that comforted Director Liu, "I will be back soon. I will work from beginning to end, so don't worry."
Poor Deputy Director Liu felt worried. Does he have the ability? He had to go all out to help him contact the air tickets and send people to the plane. It wasn't until Chen Taizhong left that he called Su Wenxin and informed Su Wenxin, "Mr. Su, Chen
The director has gone to Beijing, thank you for your help this time."
"Is everything done smoothly?" Su Wenxin laughed when she heard that. Unexpectedly, Liu Wei told her that she hadn't done everything smoothly yet. It was just like this. When Mr. Su heard this, he became angry, "The matter is half done. I said Liu Ting
Chief, why didn't you stop him?"
"You can stop him. I'll stop him. Is this appropriate?" Liu Sai became anxious upon hearing this, "Mr. Su, didn't you say that he is very reliable in his work?"
"It's so reliable, but the problem is..." This guy is so busy, you don't know where he will appear next moment." Su Wenxin also gave a bitter smile after hearing this, "Well, by the way, when will he arrive?
Beijing?"
Therefore, less than half an hour after Chen Taizhong got off the plane, he received a call from Ma Xiaoya. However, by this time, the Chen family had already rushed to Rhone Poulenc's China office.
Here, he actually bumped into Section Chief Ji of the Second Business Department of the Investment Promotion Office. Xiao Ji knew that the French were going to sign a contract, so he called his boss to ask if he needed to go to Beijing to pick up the guests.
That pair, Chen Taizhong was waiting in the blue sky to lead Widow Liu to meet him at that parry. He didn't receive a call from Wu Yan, so he signaled that since the intention was set, no matter whether he picked up the person or not, you would never be able to make a trip to Beijing.
Incorrect.
Firstly, this is a sign of respect for investors, and it can also be used as an opportunity to finalize the matter. Secondly, these days, there are not just one or two incidents of capsizing in the ditch. You have to guard against other cities causing trouble, right?
Since the leader can't go, let me go. Section Chief Ji brought Xiao Qi, a young guy who was newly assigned to the Investment Promotion Office, to Beijing, along with a temporary French translator.
Klaus was very happy about Chen Taizhong's arrival, "Oh, my plane is leaving China the day after tomorrow, and I said I won't be able to see you before I leave. Chen, are you here to see me off?"
"Oh, no, no," Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head, even though he knew it. The old woman seemed to have never given up coveting him, but when he saw that witch face, he always felt an unspeakable affection. "I just want to
Please do one thing for me before you leave."
"My mission seems to have been completed." The old witch smiled and shrugged. She was just an investment consultant and did not care about signing an agreement. "The investment will belong to Phoenix. I have tried my best. Okay, you want to ask me for help."
what you do?"
"I want to change the signing place to Paris." Chen Taizhong answered her with a smile. "You may not know yet, but the Phoenix Municipal Government has decided to send a resident agency to Europe. I am the person in charge of this agency. Even if I am not in China, I still
I can ask you about investment matters. This should be "good news, right?"
"Ask me for advice. I will charge you a fee." After hearing this, Klaus Ya showed a knowing smile on her face. "Moreover, the signing is just a ceremony and will not affect the relevant policies of the investment location." I don't know if I understand this.
,right?"
"Ha, Klaus, you're so cute." At this time, Chen Taizhong didn't care about that old face anymore and walked up to give you a kiss. "I decided to give you a small gift to show that I care for you."
of gratitude.”
"Investment consultants are not allowed to accept gifts from others." Crowley nodded with a smile, "However, a young and revealing kiss won't be a problem."
Chief Ji listened to the low voices around him and was a little petrified for a moment: Isn't it right, boss, you are not willing to let such an old woman go?
Hezhang transfer
With Claudia's help, changing the signing location to Paris is not a big problem. The French are not as rigid as the Germans. They do whatever they say, as long as their own vital interests are not affected.
, changing the signing location to accommodate others is really not a big deal.
Will it affect his vital interests? Obviously not. Chen Taizhong has already agreed. The agreed conditions will remain unchanged, and the level of the person signing the contract will not be lowered. To be honest, he is sure to persuade Duan Weihua to go. If Lao Duan refuses to go, Zhang Yaodong
I will never let go of such an opportunity to shine.
This matter is not a small matter for Phoenix and Tiannan, but it is really not a big deal for Rhône-Poulenc. Phoenix's branch is not their first branch in China, nor is it their last.
Just one of them.
This incident did not have a big impact on the French, but Chief Ji was quite dumbfounded. "Boss, what?" I'm here to pick up French guests, what should I do now?"
"Have you consolidated Rhône-Poulenc's investment intention?" Chen Taizhong casually gave away a small credit. Being a leader these days has this advantage. Are you worried that you won't be able to pay the job after you go back? It's okay. I said you have merit, so you have merit.
, in this way, naturally no one will count the time and money Xiaoji spent.
"What should I say if Mayor Wu asks about this signing?" Section Chief Ji still felt a little unreliable and could not ask the leader for instructions. "How about you say hello to her?"
This is not to blame for his big head. The agreement he promised to sign in Phoenix has gone abroad. Mayor Wu will definitely not be satisfied. He admitted that Director Chen has some reasons for doing this, but
He was in charge of the mayor's anger, but he couldn't handle it.
You only think about your office in Europe, but I have to live my life too
"Yeah, okay." Chen Taizhong muttered in a fake tone, then nodded simply, "I'll do Mayor Wu's work, so don't worry about it. But you'd better keep up with him lately."
Follow me closely so that you can take me to the European Office? Section Chief Ji was really speechless for a moment. But after thinking about it, this shows that I can't help myself? The boss really has my best interests at heart.
of.
Chen Taizhong, however, couldn't care less about his mood. Now that the matter was over, he had to find someone else. Since he had decided to open the business with great fanfare and have heavyweights to support him, naturally the more the better.
The first person to agree to the matter was French Deputy Minister of Culture and Communications Cozissard. When Abel conveyed Chen Taizhong’s intention, the deputy minister agreed without hesitation, “I am an old friend of the Chinese people.
In order to promote the construction of Sino-French friendship, a little hard work is nothing."
In fact, this person is the one who has the least hardship. He already works in Paris, so what hardship can there be? Seriously, the Chen family wants to bring some people over from China, so that’s hard work.
In the eyes of most people, inviting people from China to Paris is a bad thing, but unfortunately, I think this is a bad thing. Most of them are not very good people, and they can't control the situation. The Chen family doesn't care about it.
But his rare master may not be willing to go to Paris this time. And he doesn't want to attract the attention of some relevant departments, so it is not easy to single out these two people.
So, after answering Ma Xiaoya's call, he hesitated and decided to hold a family dinner at home. "When the intermission is at ten o'clock in the evening, will you all come to my place for dinner?"
"This is not appropriate." Ma Xiaoya smiled and refused. She had her reasons. "The person who came to see Mr. Yu the day before was a deputy director of Panshi Province. Let him know that you are like this in Beijing. "It's not good."
There is generally no fixed relationship between provinces, but the tendencies of the first and second leaders in each province can always make certain provinces move further or closer within a period of time, or they may become entangled.
.
Chen Taizhong didn't know much about these concepts, but Ma Xiaoya and his gang were just big fans of the news. Of course they understood the pros and cons, and not only could they keep abreast of the latest developments, but they could also make some directional adjustments accordingly.
"Then just ask me what kind of leader you can help me hire." Chen Taizhong didn't want to go to Nangong. He already had a place to stay in Beijing. He really didn't want to fall with these people.
"This must be something you can ask before you serve the wine. I'm a soft-spoken person." Ma Xiaoya laughed when she heard this. After laughing for a while, she made a suggestion, "Isn't Catherine very hospitable? Let's have the banquet at her home.
never mind."
"Do you think Catherine is just like you and doesn't have to go to work?" Chen Taizhong sighed regretfully, hesitated and then said, "That guy seems to be quite used to the nightlife. I'll ask her first. You go ahead and get busy."
He made a phone call, and Catherine laughed when she heard his voice, "Ha, you came just in time. I'm going to invite Vice President Zhang from the Nonferrous Metals Corporation to dinner tonight, so come together."
"Oh, have you completed the Linlu project?" Chen Taizhong was a little surprised, "How come I didn't know about it?"
"That's it. You've been busy with your work, how can I have time to contact you?" Catherine kept laughing over there, and the young director of the Office in Europe seemed to see two more trembling giants in a trance.
Trembling, "You've already taken the reward anyway. If this thing doesn't work, it won't be too late for me to respond to you, right?"
"How could it not be possible?" Chen Taizhong smiled proudly, and then realized, "Uh, no, you are also treating us tonight? What a coincidence, isn't it also ten o'clock?"
The fact is what he thought. The non-ferrous metal company has basically confirmed that this time Lin Aluminum adopts Zhao's overall supporting process design. Of course, some determined Siemens Party members will definitely make a big fuss out of this, so the execution of this matter is not special.
smoothly.
This Vice President Zhang is not an important figure in the Nonferrous Metals Company, but he has always been more outspoken and has some influence in front of the big boss. He has been disgusted with those Siemens Party members for several years.
He is not disgusted with Siemens' products, but with those people. Siemens has been in the non-ferrous metal industry for so many years, and the leaders from top to bottom have basically taken care of it. Even Vice President Zhang occasionally accepts small gifts and invitations to go abroad.
A person spends this small amount of money on a trip or something, not for bribery, but just to ask this person not to jump out and cause trouble at the critical moment and then leave.
This is not to say that Vice President Zhang is unimportant. Groups with vested interests are always a small number of people, and within the same company, there are also various factions. If anyone wants to spend a lot of money to please all the leaders, it is not because they are rich. It is stupid!
Vice President Zhang always couldn't stand how those people got an advantage, and he jumped up and down confidently to protect his own one-third of an acre. Later, he forced sales to the subordinates. He almost became a Siemens employee in China receiving a salary from a non-ferrous company.
.
There is always a need to introduce a competition mechanism. He has thought so for a long time, and he is very sure that he is not the only one who thinks so. However, this group of people is powerful, and without a suitable opportunity, no one will come out to take the lead - no one.
Silly?
This time, Lin Ming made a strange noise, and at the same time, the big boss of the design institute lost his voice at the critical moment. Now everyone understood that a powerful person was interested in this piece of work.
After further checking how the Lin Aluminum project was established, one person would understand that the Huang family was most likely involved. Vice President Zhang also saw the situation clearly. It happened that Catherine came to work as a lobbyist. He took a look and knew this.
The foreign woman has a good relationship with Fan Rushuang, so I can tell you that this woman must be one of the driving forces behind the scenes... As soon as Jiang Linming's matter was handled badly, it was good, and Vice President Zhang knew about Fan Donggeshan and Yongchuan Jing, so he couldn't give a hint.
, let’s all sit down together.
When Chen Taizhong appeared out of thin air with Catherine, Vice President Zhang was a little surprised. However, when he saw that Fan Rushuang was very enthusiastic and polite to this person, he hid his doubts in his heart. How could Xiao Fan be so polite?
Son, it must have a background.
Vice President Zhang has the title of Vice President. In fact, from some perspectives, he is not as good as Fan Rushuang. The General Administration has great power, but the top leaders of the following companies, especially a large company like Linlu, have absolute real power.
It's not like a deputy mayor meets the county party secretary of an economically strong county. It's certain that he has a higher rank, but it's hard to say who has more real power.
Moreover, the difference between the two is not as big as the difference between the deputy mayor and the county party secretary. Fan Rushuang is a department-level cadre. Mr. Zhang currently only enjoys the treatment of a deputy department, and he only occupies the title of leader of a general bureau.
.
Of course, on the surface, Director Fan was quite polite to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang took the front seat and was very respectful when he spoke. However, Mr. Zhang also had his own consciousness, and leadership airs must be put on, but the meaning behind his words was not the same.
Revealing affection.
Therefore, the meal was lively and harmonious. It was not until the end of the song and everyone dispersed that Vice President Zhang casually mentioned, "The price of alumina this year and next year will definitely not be normal. By then, under the price control, Fan
You have to take more care of me."
"How dare I not listen to Mr. Zhang's instructions?" Fan Rushuang replied with a smile. Then she frowned slightly and said, "I will try my best to allocate more money... I will ask Mr. Zhang for instructions when the time comes."
"Haha, that's for sure." Vice President Zhang smiled and nodded, and everyone said goodbye.
Chen Taizhong was a little confused after hearing this, so he had to ask Fan Rushuang again. Vice President Zhang most likely had the purpose of this meal in the last few sentences, but why couldn't I understand?
Fan Rushuang could only smile bitterly. Vice President Zhang’s request is difficult to say, but it’s really a bit of a headache, especially under the current aluminum oxide market.
As a national strategic material, the price of alumina has not been completely relaxed. There is a market price and a regulated price. It is easy to say that the market price is determined by the market, but the regulated price is jointly determined by nonferrous companies and superior departments.
Strictly speaking, the regulated price may not necessarily be lower than the market price. Sometimes the alumina market is weak and the market price is much lower than the regulated price. However, other nonferrous companies often have to allocate aluminum from aluminum plants at the regulated price.
Aluminum oxide.
In this way, other companies, such as Electrolytic Ming and other companies, are transfusing blood to the aluminum factory in disguise. There are not many such times, but not too few - but at such times, most of the time everyone is willing to press
Buy from the market at the market price. Anyone who wants to buy at the allocated price has to do it the hard way.
However, Lin Aluminum welcomes people to buy from the market. In this case, the payment owed will not be delayed for a long time. If it is transferred according to the allocation price, which is equivalent to the internal flow of the system, the funds can be delayed as long as possible.
In the end, maybe after the above document is submitted, this or that amount of money will be offset - or even the bill will be waived directly.
Therefore, other companies think that they are giving blood to the aluminum factory, and the aluminum factory itself is still aggrieved. There are some things these days that are really hard to explain - after all, everyone is an enterprise of the Nonferrous Metal Corporation. The meat is rotten in the pot.
, it’s not much cheaper for outsiders.
But with the current alumina market, Lin Aluminum is definitely not willing to settle with other companies based on the allocation price. The market price is so much higher than the allocation price, and it's still cash. It's not like allocation, and you have to pay for it yourself.
What about capital?
However, whether you like it or not, since you are a state-owned enterprise, you must implement the above policies. Therefore, what most oxidation boiler factories want is to allocate tasks for this year. Can we complete a little less?
Therefore, at this juncture, the boss of the alumina factory below has much greater power. It is also a transfer. I can give more, I can give less, I can give more to this company, and I can give more to that company.
Such is the case with strategic resources. When there is a time to pretend to be a grandson, there is a time to pretend to be an uncle. At this juncture, except for those powerful masters, not many people will try to achieve their goals through pressure from above - if Fan Rushuang becomes anxious one by one.
, I owe this year’s transfer tasks first. I’ll settle them next year, okay?
You guys can delay the payment for Lin Aluminum to me year by year, but you don’t believe that I can’t delay my allocation tasks!
In fact, some people who have their own way have obtained the alumina at the allocated price and sold it directly at the market price - this is rare, but it definitely happens.
So what Vice President Zhang said today. You said it was a trivial matter, but it was really a trivial matter. If you say it is serious, it is really serious, but it is okay. Fan Rushuang took the matter very lightly. "Who hasn't had one or two kisses yet?"
A thick person? Mr. Zhang is also thinking about his old subordinates and hopes that I can support them in these things."
"To put it bluntly, Mr. Fan still has something in his hands that is worth the exchange." Chen Taizhong laughed when he heard this, thinking to himself that no wonder He Baohua insisted on encouraging Fan Rushuang to come forward. If Mr. Fan dares to take his lover seriously, he is not a good person.
"Oh, transfer price." Fan Rushuang laughed bitterly after hearing this, "This thing is really a headache. Tell me, Taizhong. If Secretary Liu of the Qingwang Municipal Party Committee says hello to me, can I not take care of him? I can't give five
One thousand tons, one thousand tons should be considered, right? Everyone outside the system must recognize this price."
"Ha" Chen Taizhong chuckled after hearing this...
(It was a cold, not a stroke. A slip of the tongue made everyone worried, haha. Another seven thousand words, calling for monthly votes.) (To be continued)
