Hearing that Qin Hai, the chairman of Daqin Group, was going to visit in person, Pang Yongfu, the general manager of Hongyuan Iron and Steel Company, had already waited in front of the office building with more than a dozen company leaders. The skin of a person and the shadow of a tree are in the same industry.
Of course, Pang Yongfu knew what kind of status Qin Hai was. If the person in charge of other companies came, Pang Yongfu would just arrange for the office director to go downstairs to pick him up. But when Qin Hai came to the door, Pang Yongfu would do it himself no matter what.
Welcomed.
A black Mercedes-Benz 600 sedan drove in lightly from outside the company gate and drove straight to the office building. As soon as the car stopped, Pang Yongfu's secretary Hu Xiaoshuo hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door for Qin Hai, who was sitting in the back seat.
He opened the car door and blocked the door frame with his hand to prevent the distinguished guests from bumping their heads when getting out of the car. Qin Hai was already used to this kind of etiquette. He stepped out of the car, gave Hu Xiaoshuo a grateful look, and then stretched out his hand.
He held out his hands and walked towards Pang Yongfu who was standing two meters away with a smile.
"Excuse me, Mr. Pang, to come and greet you in person. Xiao Qin, I am really honored." Qin Hai said politely while shaking hands with Pang Yongfu.
It was Qin Hai's first time to come to Hongyuan Iron and Steel Company, but he and Pang Yongfu were no strangers. They had met at several meetings, and they even toasted each other during meals at the meetings, so they were considered acquaintances. How old is Pang Yongfu?
He is 20 years older than Qin Hai, and Qin Hai always calls himself Xiao Qin in front of him.
"It's an honor for our 15,000 employees at Red Steel to come here with Mr. Qin's presence." Pang Yongfu kidnapped 15,000 people with just one card, which made Qin Hai feel a lot of pressure.
After the two parties exchanged greetings, Pang Yongfu introduced to Qin Hai the deputy general manager, the personnel director, the sales director and other management personnel, which was almost the entire leadership team of Red Steel. From the perspective of the reception camp, Pang Yongfu also really liked Qin Hai.
They are very respectful, and usually even the mayor does not enjoy such treatment when he comes to inspect.
Qin Hai also introduced his entourage to Pang Yongfu. In comparison, his entourage was relatively simple. There were only two people, Heizi and Yu Yong. The former was good at dealing with people from all walks of life, and was difficult to obtain through other channels.
The latter is a new marketing star in the group, who is responsible for implementing the various cooperation intentions reached between Qin Hai and the other party's leaders. Of course, there is another important reason why Qin Hai takes Heizi with him when he goes out. That is Heizi can handle it
All kinds of banquets. When doing business in China, you will most likely have to go through the "alcohol test".
People from both sides shook hands and said hello in various arrangements and combinations. Pang Yongfu invited Qin Hai into the office building and came to the company conference room. The huge conference table was already covered with various fruits and snacks, and Qin Hai and others had just
As soon as they sat down, a beautiful waiter came forward and poured tea for them. Everything seemed so grand.
"Let me introduce Mr. Qin to everyone."
After the guests and hosts sat down on two sides, Pang Yongfu spoke first.
"Mr. Pang. Regarding Mr. Qin, you don't need to introduce it to us. Is there anyone in China who doesn't know Mr. Qin?" Sales Director Xiang Pengda interrupted with a smile. It's not that he doesn't want to give Pang Yongfu face.
Instead, he used a different way to compliment Qin Hai, which actually meant to give Pang Yongfu a helping hand.
Pang Yongfu gave Xiang Pengda a false look and said, "Lao Xiang, you said that all Chinese people know Mr. Qin. Then tell everyone who Mr. Qin is."
"Mr. Qin is the chairman of Anhe Daqin Industrial Group. He is a model private entrepreneur who has been interviewed and commended by the chief minister many times. The steel company affiliated to Daqin Group produced 50 million tons of steel last year, which is twice as much as our Red Steel...
"Xiang Pengda recounted all his family treasures, and as expected he told Qin Hai's background in detail.
Pang Yongfu shook his head proudly and said: "Lao Xiang, what you said are all things that can be seen in newspapers. According to your statement, everyone knows it. What I want to introduce to everyone is you.
Things I don’t even know about.”
"Haha, Mr. Pang is planning to make up a joke about me." Qin Hai said with a smile.
Pang Yongfu looked at his subordinates and asked, "Do you know what the relationship between Mr. Qin and our Red Steel is?"
"I really don't know about this." Xiang Pengda responded, "In my impression, President Qin has never been to our Red Steel, right? President Song from Da Qin has been here many times."
Pang Yongfu said: "Lao Xiang is right. Mr. Qin has indeed never been to our Red Steel, but he is our great hero... Well, using the word "hero" seems a bit disrespectful to Mr. Qin. However,
This is not what I said, but the old director of our Red Steel, and later the old director of our Provincial Metallurgical Department, Mr. Jiang, do you know the reason?"
Qin Hai couldn't help but laugh when he heard Pang Yongfu talking about Mr. Jiang. This Mr. Jiang, named Jiang Huanwen, was the director of Hongyuan Iron and Steel Works more than ten years ago. The first time Qin Hai went abroad in this life, he got into
A delegation from Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant to Spain to purchase metallurgical electric furnaces. On that occasion, Qin Hai used his knowledge to help Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant negotiate with the metallurgical equipment manufacturer Ossur Company and purchased it for a total of US$16 million.
2 electric furnaces. Previously, Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant planned to pay a sky-high price of US$22 million for just 1 electric furnace.
Hongyuan Iron and Steel Plant originally only needed to buy one electric furnace, but the extra electric furnace was lent to Qin Hai's fledgling Beixi No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant on a lease basis, becoming one of Qin Hai's starting capital.
It was Jiang Huanwen, the director of Hongyuan Steel, who presided over the purchase of electric furnaces. Because he saved a lot of foreign exchange for the country during the purchase of electric furnaces, Jiang Huanwen was commended. This also became one of the reasons why he was later promoted to the director of the Hongyuan Provincial Metallurgical Department.
Important capital. Pang Yongfu, Xiang Pengda and others were all transferred to Hongyuan Iron and Steel Works later and had not personally experienced this incident. However, Pang Yongfu had heard this story from Jiang Huanwen, and it was just at this time to show it off.
To show off, one is to liven up the atmosphere, and the other is to further draw closer to Qin Hai.
When Qin Hai was recalling this past event, Pang Yongfu had already narrated the events of that year to everyone like a storyteller. Because it was relayed from Jiang Huanwen, what Pang Yongfu said was somewhat different from that of the past. Among them, Qin Hai's
The wisdom and courage were exaggerated at least five times, making people feel that Qin Hai was not a person, but a monster. Of course, no one raised any objections. They only had to pretend to be shocked. This was also
The results Pang Yongfu hopes to see.
"Mr. Pang's words are exaggerated. In fact, this is all due to the good leadership of Director Jiang. I remember that there were also Section Chiefs Yao Guojie and Zhu Shouhe who participated in the negotiation. They were the main force in the negotiation." Qin Hai said modestly.
.
Pang Yongfu said: "Lao Yao retired last year. Before retiring, he was the deputy general manager of our company; Lao Zhu was later transferred to the Metallurgical Department and is now the vice president of the Metallurgical Design Institute. If Mr. Qin can work in Hongyuan
If you stay a few more days, I can make an appointment with them and let you old friends sit down together."
"I'm afraid it's too late this time. Next time I will make time to come and visit Director Jiang, Section Chief Yao, Section Chief Zhu and the others." Qin Hai said perfunctorily. He has been in business for nearly 20 years and has so many friends in this business.
Naturally, I felt a little cordial when I met him, but when it comes to arranging a special time to meet, I don't seem to have that strong desire.
"We've been chatting for a long time, but I haven't asked yet. Does Mr. Qin have anything important to do when he comes to our Red Steel this time?" Pang Yongfu finally brought the topic back to the topic.
"There is indeed something very important and urgent that we need to discuss with Mr. Pang and everyone." Qin Hai put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
"President Qin, please speak." Pang Yongfu said. Others quickly took out pens and paper and made notes. Qin Hai made a special trip to Honggang, and obviously he was not here for sightseeing. This was very important from Pang Yongfu onwards.
Clearly, everyone brought a notebook to the meeting for fear of missing something important.
"The central government has just established a leading group for iron ore import coordination. I must have received the document from Mr. Pang, right?" Qin Hai asked.
"I have received it. The leader of the central government will personally serve as the team leader. This standard is not low. If I remember correctly, President Qin should be the deputy leader of the working group." Pang Yongfu said, "Is it possible that President Qin came to Red Steel this time?
, just for this matter?”
Pang Yongfu is asking questions knowingly. The establishment of the iron ore working group is a major event for every steel company. As the CEO of the company, how can Pang Yongfu not pay attention? The leader of the working group is a comrade from the central leadership.
The deputy team leader is actually Qin Hai, which is enough to make the heads of various steel companies shocked and jealous. However, jealousy is jealousy, and everyone can still understand the reason. After all, Daqin Group has a steel production capacity of 50 million tons.
And Qin Hai is also a figure who has been repeatedly praised by the chief minister. It is reasonable for such a person to lead the iron ore import negotiations.
Hearing that Qin Hai was coming to Red Steel, Pang Yongfu made several guesses about the purpose of Qin Hai's trip. The first purpose that ranked first and was firmly believed by all company leaders was related to iron ore negotiations.
Everyone agreed that Qin Hai must have come to coordinate with Honggang, and it was difficult to explain his motives other than that.
Although he was able to guess the truth, Pang Yongfu still had to pretend to be confused and let Qin Hai tell the reason. The purpose of this act was to convey a message to Qin Hai, that is, Red Steel's intention to negotiate iron ore
They neither understand nor pay attention to the matter. If the iron ore team wants Honggang to cooperate, then it can offer benefits in exchange.
Don't look at Pang Yongfu talking for a long time about the deep relationship between Qin Hai and Honggang. When it comes to issues of interest, Pang Yongfu will never let go. In his opinion, the coordination group has a strong background. Since he has something to ask for,
, then if you don’t get any benefits from the coordination group, it is really a wasted opportunity. (To be continued.)
