"We have offended the George Group. This George Group is considered a very powerful foreign company in Luyang City. When our Luyang Development Zone Industrial Park was just completed, their company moved in. They were among the first batch of people to move in in Luyang City. Foreign companies, the first batch of support targets of the municipal government, have brought a lot of economic benefits to Luyang City over the years, and their status in Luyang City's business district is unshakable," Chang Miaoke said.
Ye Shaofeng gently put her on the sofa, picked up the tea that Chang Miaoke had just brewed from the coffee table, took a sip, and said: "I know the status of the George Group in Luyang City, but now it's troublesome If we get into such trouble, we have to face it. If we give in, the George Group will immediately fight back against us. With the confrontation like this now, they don't dare to do anything. After all, if they really offend us, Longtang, they will not do anything in the future. Don’t even think about staying in Luyang City anymore,”
"If you really start a quarrel, both sides will lose, and everything will be destroyed. Therefore, the George Group must be in a dilemma now. It wants to find face, but also wants to avoid making the matter bigger," Chang Miaoke analyzed.
"I really think so. The George Group doesn't dare to act rashly now. They don't dare to offend Longtang, but they don't want to think about reconciliation with Longtang. Now, in fact, we need a step. If there is a middleman who comes out to mediate, This matter will be easier to handle, but who should we ask to mediate? No one has the qualifications or the courage," Ye Shaofeng said.
"Can I," Chang Miaoke suddenly asked.
"You, how do you take care of this matter," Ye Shaofeng said.
"I know old George," Chang Miaoke said.
"You know old George," Ye Shaofeng said in surprise.
"Of course we know each other. Zonghai Group has been in Luyang City for many years. Since my father was in office, we have communicated with these old companies in Luyang City. Later, when I took the position, my contacts with these old groups have also increased. It’s even closer, especially the George Group, a foreign-funded enterprise. They purchase drugs from our Zonghai Group every year, and then smuggle them back to the United States for sale, because the drugs our Zonghai Group buys, whether they are finished products or original products, are It is also much cheaper than suppliers in the United States.
In addition, the George Group itself is engaged in import and export trade. Every time they smuggle some drugs back on their container ships, logistics costs are saved. Therefore, on the surface, our alliance Zonghai Group and the George Group are on the same page. We can't fight, but in black market transactions, we and the George Group are already old partners.
They rely on the supply of our Zonghai Group to resell drugs to them in the United States, and their annual profits are at least five to six million U.S. dollars," Chang Miaoke said.
"I didn't expect that you still have such a relationship. You are quite popular now. You know most of the people in the upper class," Ye Shaofeng said in surprise.
"Of course, let me tell you secretly, my social status in Luyang City is not necessarily worse than yours. The only difference between us is that you are a public figure in the public eye, and I am not visible to the public, haha Haha..." After saying that, Chang Miaoke chuckled.
With Chang Miaoke's relationship, this matter became much easier. Chang Miaoke came forward, went to the George Group, and found old George. He had not made an appointment before, but Secretary George heard that it was Chang Miaoke, the president of Zonghai Group. When he arrived, he quickly announced the news. George did not dare to neglect and quickly invited Chang Miaoke to come in. He was even given VIP treatment and stood directly outside the office to greet Chang Miaoke.
He came here not once or twice. The sound of drugs was the only bridge for them to communicate, and no one else could know about this shady transaction. Therefore, every time Chang Miaoke went there, old George would not be there. Anyone is allowed in, even his own secretary is allowed out.
The door of the office closed, and Old George asked with a smile: "Miss Chang Miaoke, I came here unexpectedly today. What can I do for you?"
"Important things," Chang Miaoke said seriously.
"Oh, does your group need help from our George Group? We are old partners. We have been in a cooperative relationship since your father's time. We, the George Group, will definitely spare no effort to help you with your affairs." Old George said, with an old fox look on his face.
"It's not about our Zonghai Group, but about your George Group and Longtang," Chang Miaoke said simply and clearly. He didn't deal with foreigners once or twice. Chang Miaoke even went to the point where Westerners were used to it. When we talk about things, we just talk about things. We don’t have to go around and talk about things. We just talk about things straight to the point. This saves time and is sincere enough.
"Why, you also know this. Longtang went too far and hurt my child," Old George said.
"However, you should be aware of Longtang's status in Luyang City. If we really fight with them, things will get serious. In the end, both sides will suffer. Your George Group will probably not be able to continue operating in Luyang City. , I will also lose a very good partner." What Chang Miaoke said was indeed a bit alarmist. Old George was sophisticated and knew that Chang Miaoke's words were a bit exaggerated. However, exaggeration does not mean that it is impossible. What happened, maybe, this exaggeration could develop into reality in the end.
Old George did not dare to relax and said: "Of course I know that there will be such consequences, but if my son is injured and I just take care of the matter so hastily, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the foreign business world in the future."
"I don't think it's that serious. This collision with Longtang can be regarded as acquaintance without fighting. You can definitely turn your hostility into friendship through this matter and become friends from now on. In this way, as a foreign businessman, you can get to know Longtang. Others My foreign business friends will definitely be impressed," Chang Miaoke said.
Although Old George didn't understand the specific meaning of "turning hostility into friendship", he completely understood what was said later. What Yi Chang Miaoke meant was to let the George Group and Longtang take a step back from each other through this matter, and then become friends. , In this way, it can improve one's status in the foreign business world and gain one more powerful friend. This is indeed a good way. However, now that they are all at conflicting points, how can they suddenly reach a consensus and withdraw from each other? Take one step and become friends.
"Miss Chang's suggestion is very good, but I'm afraid we can't do it. After all, things are very unpleasant now, and no one will be the first to give in," said Old George...
