Mingyu was also surprised. He didn't expect his eldest brother's career to have developed to this extent.
Zhongcheng seems to be large and powerful, but it has no core technology and no moat. It relies entirely on marketing.
This is also the reason why Lao Meng gathered a group of people, set up a new mountain, and directly defeated his old employer.
If there really is any core technology and what technical threshold is there, how could Lao Meng, a person who started out in sales, recruit a group of people and use a newly established company to overthrow his old employer!
The most important reason is that the quality of products of companies in this industry is average, and they do not have their own core technologies. Marketing and sales capabilities are very important.
Whoever has strong marketing capabilities will occupy a larger market.
This is why Mingyu is so important to Zhongcheng. The Jiangnan Sales Company controlled by Mingyu not only accounts for half of Zhongcheng's income, but the sales resources and connections in Mingyu's hands are also extremely important to Zhongcheng.
If Mingyu had other ideas, he could join forces with Liu Qing, the boss of Jiangbei Sales Company, and even imitate Mr. Meng back then, and pull together a group of people to set up a new company and compete with other cities.
This is also the reason why Lao Meng is eager to take over the power after the company has grown and grown, because he does not want to repeat the mistakes of his old employer.
Such a company has no moat and low ability to withstand risks. It is easy for it to rise but also to fall.
Valuations in the capital market are naturally not high.
No matter in terms of prospects, potential, core technology mastered, or the popularity of capital, it is really incomparable with Olkus.
"How about it, Mingyu, come and help me. I'll leave you the position of president of Greater China. Help me take care of this domestic situation."
Mingyu quickly declined: "No, brother."
"You are a high-tech company. I am a salesperson and I don't know much about technology. I can do some sales. But for such a high position, the position is too important. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Mingyu, your thinking is too complicated."
"Our company does not lack technology, but it lacks people who know how to sell."
"Your ability is obvious to all. The domestic market has huge potential and is a vast blue ocean. You don't have to worry about research and development. As the president of Greater China, it is enough to open up the domestic market and increase market share."
Mingyu hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was a good opportunity, a new field, a new platform, and a new challenge.
However, her feelings for Zhongcheng were so deep that she really couldn't bear to leave.
In the end, he declined and said: "Brother, thank you, I'd better stay in Zhongcheng."
Seeing Mr. Xiao Meng let out a sigh of relief, Li Mu smiled and stopped forcing himself.
He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Mingyu would eventually leave the cities.
As a qualified businessman, Mr. Meng will not completely trust anyone. First, Liu Qing was forced to leave, and Mingyu will soon be taken away from power.
She controls Jiangnan Sales Company, with such large resources and sales channels, as well as her contacts, which are of great importance to the head office. How can Lao Meng be completely reassured.
A power retrieval was carried out some time ago, but the effect was not good. Mingyu still firmly controls the power of Jiangnan Sales Company, not to mention the connections in his hands, which cannot be taken away at will.
Mr. Meng sent Mr. Xiao Meng to work under Mingyu just to take over the resources and connections in her hands.
Next, after Mr. Xiao Meng is familiar with the business, he will take over the position of CEO of Jiangnan Sales Company, and then merge with Jiangbei Sales Company.
Mingyu raised the headquarters level.
It seems that after being promoted to a higher level, all the resources and contacts in his hands will be handed over to Mr. Xiao Meng. Mingyu will no longer be in charge of specific affairs and will only serve as a professional manager who can be replaced at any time.
Although Mingyu knew Lao Meng's purpose, he still cooperated seriously and transferred his resources, connections and channels to Mr. Xiao Meng bit by bit without any hesitation.
Maybe he was tired, maybe he was disappointed, maybe it was for other reasons... Mingyu then resigned!
It cannot be said that Mr. Meng is ruthless, but as a pure businessman, it is impossible for the core lifeblood of the company to be in the hands of outsiders, even his most trusted disciple Mingyu.
Privately, he was quite good to Mingyu, and he kicked Liu Qinghui out without any mercy. He was much gentler in his treatment of Mingyu. He was promoted to a higher level and his treatment in all aspects also improved.
As long as Mingyu is willing to stay in Zhongcheng, his future will still be good, and he can even reach a higher position.
After Lao Meng retires in the future, he will probably use Mingyu to check and balance Mr. Xiao Meng. By using Mingyu to control the entire Zhongcheng Group from behind, he will not lose his influence on the company and Mr. Xiao Meng will not hand over the company to Huo Huo.
…
After Li Mu and Mingyu chatted for a while, Mr. Xiao Meng was dragged to play games by a group of bad friends.
At this moment, Mingyu suddenly looked serious.
"Brother, the master is kind to me. I can't let him down. It's impossible to leave the cities now."
"If you want to find a sales expert to open up the domestic market, I have a candidate."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Oh, please tell me!"
Mingyu said: "Liu Qing, general manager of Zhongcheng Jiangbei Sales Company, we have a good relationship and have been dealing with each other for many years. He is a sales wizard and is very suitable for expanding our territory."
Li Mu pondered for a moment: "The name Liu Qing sounds familiar. Bei Liuqing and Nan Mingyu are the two market geniuses in Zhongcheng who are as famous as you!"
"How could you be willing to introduce such a good market player to me? He's from all of your cities. He's not like you!"
Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "Brother, the cities are on the rise, the situation has changed a lot, Liu Qing should leave."
"He is a good person and very talented. I introduced him to Zhongcheng back then. Now that he is gone, I am powerless."
"It's hard to find talents with this kind of market talent. If I introduce him to you, he will have a good future, and you will also gain a market wizard."
Li Mu nodded: "Okay, I must meet this person you admire so much."
"Make an appointment and let's meet and chat."
A joyful look appeared on Mingyu's face. She couldn't stop Lao Meng from driving Liu Qing away, and she still felt sorry in her heart. She felt relieved that she could find a good home for Liu Qing.
However, Li Mu didn't intend to just let it go.
"Mingyu, if Liu Qing meets the requirements, I will appoint him as the vice president and sales director of Olkus Greater China to prepare and establish the Olkus Greater China sales network."
"The position of Olkus Global Senior Vice President and Greater China President is still reserved for you."
"Since you are partners in Zhongcheng and have cooperated well, I believe you can still cooperate with each other tacitly in Olkus and run Olkus' domestic business well."
"Mingyu, I hope you won't leave this position idle for too long."
Mingyu was a little moved and wanted to refuse, but didn't know how to speak.
I can only change the subject: "Brother, let's not talk about this for now. Don't you want to buy a house? I have nothing to do today, so I just want to accompany you to take a look."
Li Mu smiled and stopped forcing her. The future development of the situation would allow her to leave the cities on her own.
After having lunch with Mingyu, Li Mu said, looking at Shi Tiandong walking around next to him: "Mingyu, the owner of this store is very strange! Why is he always looking at you? Is there anything wrong with him?"
"You are not young anymore. If you really want to fall in love, tell me about it and I will keep you in check."
Mingyu's face turned red rarely.
"Brother, let's go look at the house!"
With that said, he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and hurriedly pulled Li Mu out of the meat eater.
