After the meeting, it was already noon. The training center provided a sumptuous buffet. The team members lined up neatly to get food. At this time, Director Tan and Wang Qian also appeared, but this time Wang Qian did not wear military uniforms, and
It's a fashionable dress.
Director Tan called Liu Ziguang, Captain Zhong, and Qiu Pengfei to sit down at a large table and introduced: "You may have dealt with each other before, but I think it would be better to introduce again. Zhong Handong, who retired from the special forces, is now serving as
The chief tactical instructor of Red Star Company, Qiu Pengfei, used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and now serves as the Party Secretary and Discipline Inspection Team Leader of Red Star Company, and Liu Ziguang, as you all know, is the general manager of Red Star Company."
Everyone nodded and greeted each other, knowing each other. Liu Ziguang was secretly surprised. The superiors actually arranged for the special forces captain directly under the Second Department of the General Staff to be a mere tactical instructor in the Red Star Company. As for Qiu Pengfei, who came from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
He probably plays the role of supervising the army.
Director Tan continued: "The mission of Red Star Company is very important. It has to take on the security tasks of our overseas infrastructure projects. As members of the company's leadership team, the three of you have a heavy responsibility. Lao Zhong is in charge of the business and Xiao Qiu is in charge.
Logistics, while focusing on organizational building and ideological work, Xiao Liu, you are responsible for administration and external coordination."
Qiu Pengfei raised his hand and asked: "If there are differences of opinion, how should we deal with it?"
Director Tan said: "In principle, when problems arise, they need to work together and negotiate to solve them."
Qiu Pengfei was unyielding: "What if we can't resolve the matter through negotiation? There must be someone in charge."
Director Tan was vaguely unhappy: "If we can't solve the problem through negotiation, we can report it to the leadership. This is not the ancient times. The satellite phone broadband network is so close to the world. There is no reason to accept the fate of a foreign king."
"Understood." Qiu Pengfei was quite satisfied with this answer. Obviously, the answer he wanted was not that his superiors gave him the power to act arbitrarily, as long as the status of the other two people in the team was not higher than his own.
Why didn't Liu Ziguang understand Qiu Pengfei's intention? Any unit is indispensable for this kind of villain who strives for power. Although Liu Ziguang is not good at power struggle, he is not a novice at being manipulated. He knows that the right to speak does not lie with the leader.
The endowment lies in the resources at his disposal and the prestige in the hearts of his subordinates. Playing this game, Qiu is still a bit green. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the "Supervisory Army", and Qiu Pengfei also looked back at him very reservedly.
, and then his eyes turned elsewhere.
"In addition, the organization has transferred thirty capable veterans to strengthen the strength of Red Star Company. Haha, don't complain to me about the lack of manpower in the future." Director Tan said with a smile.
Liu Ziguang sneered secretly, I am afraid that the thirty veterans were all forced to retire. Looking at their iron bodies and their attitudes towards Captain Zhong, they should be members of the T Troop. Suddenly the darlings in the army were demoted to security guards. No wonder
These people have such ugly faces, but with the addition of this group of people, I am afraid that my control over the company will be weaker, and I might even lose control.
"With so many projects, it would be difficult to complete the task with just 60 security guards," Liu Ziguang said.
Director Tan has long been confident: "It's just the initial stage now. When the business volume catches up, large-scale recruitment will be carried out. By then, there will be a large number of outstanding veterans for you to choose from, and you can also recruit people locally. The policy is like this
It’s okay to do it.”
"clear."
Director Tan smiled, looked at Liu Ziguang who looked indifferent, Qiu Pengfei who was thoughtful, and Zhong Handong who was silent, and said: "No matter what your status was before, you will all be managers of private enterprises in the future.
This must be kept in mind, especially Handong and Pengfei, to adapt to their current status."
"Yes." Zhong Handong straightened his back and replied.
Qiu Pengfei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it. However, Liu Ziguang calmly asked: "I understand what Director Tan means. We will always keep our identity in mind when conducting business and will not give it to people with ulterior motives."
Any excuse, but I want to know, what level is Red Star Company at now?"
"Level?" Director Tan looked at Wang Qian suspiciously. The female master of psychology quickly understood what Liu Ziguang meant and replied: "Instructor Zhong had the rank of colonel before he transferred to the army. He was at the regimental level. Secretary Qiu was in the department.
The administrative level of the company is director, and Red Star Company should be a director-level unit."
Liu Ziguang said oh and seemed very satisfied.
After the meal, Qiu Pengfei took Director Tan to report on the ideological work. Zhong Handong came outside the restaurant, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. However, after searching for a long time, there was no lighter. He was about to go back to look for a fire, but a lighter came out.
He reached over and helped him light the cigarette.
Liu Ziguang took back the lighter and asked, "Brother Zhong hasn't been smoking for a long time."
"Haha, I smoked for a few years when I was young, and then I quit. I just picked it up again three months ago."
As a member of the special forces, tobacco, alcohol and any food with pungent taste are not allowed. This also shows that Zhong Handong has really changed his career and retired from the army.
Zhong Handong held a cigarette in his left hand, and his prosthetic right arm hung low. Liu Ziguang noticed that his left leg was a little unnatural when he walked. It seemed that this veteran special forces soldier had more than one injury.
"Is Jianguo okay over there? I heard he became a colonel." Zhong Handong said with a smile, obviously he already knew a lot about the local situation in West Saddamoa.
"Fortunately, he is a restless person. He has hundreds of people training him, which is more nourishing than abalone and bird's nest every day." Liu Ziguang said.
"He is that kind of person. By the way, I remember that Jianguo also raised a child of a comrade in arms. He should be in middle school this year."
"Captain Zhong is talking about Cheng Maohai. He is about to graduate from junior high school, but his academic performance is not very good. He is waiting to get his diploma and join the army."
"The requirements for joining the army are now higher. You must at least graduate from high school. However, I still have some connections in the army. If my child really wants to become a soldier, he should be able to do it."
"Thank you very much, Captain Zhong."
"You're welcome, we're all our own people. I'm going to go over there and see the boys. Do you want to come with me?"
"No, if you meet with your old subordinates, I won't participate."
"Haha, that's fine." Captain Zhong dragged his injured leg away, and Wang Qian came out from behind: "You two have a very good conversation."
"Yes, we had a chance encounter before." Liu Ziguang said.
"So, I'm quite satisfied with your status as a senior officer," Wang Qi said.
Liu Ziguang said: "Thank you to the organization for taking care of me. I will definitely live up to the organization's expectations of me."
Wang Qi stared at Liu Ziguang's eyes for a long time: "You are lying. The Red Star Company you created has become someone else's. You feel very uncomfortable. You also dislike Qiu Pengfei. You think he is an insidious person. Are you going to
After arriving in West Africa, you will use your means to get back the power of the company. As for Zhong Handong, in your plan, he is a warrior and someone you can win over. How about that? Am I right?"
The expression on Liu Ziguang's face did not change at all, and he said with a smile: "You have an occupational disease. Red Star Company had no business to begin with, and its license was revoked. The current Red Star is a new enterprise reborn under the care of the organization. Don't say
It’s an enterprise, and even I am a member of the organization. As long as the organization says a word, I, Liu Ziguang, will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Wang Qian chuckled: "I see you are nervous. I am joking with you. If the organization does not trust you, it will give you such a heavy burden. I want to remind you that Zhong Handong and Qiu Pengfei are both
I have a very deep background. What did Zhong Handong do before? I don’t need to tell you. He has seventeen injuries on his body. He has prosthetics on his right hand and left leg. There are still five shrapnel spots on his body that have not been removed. Originally, the organization arranged for him to sit
He is in the office, but he asked to change his career to work in West Africa, while Qiu Pengfei, who comes from a diplomatic family and graduated with a doctorate from Renmin University, if not for an accident, would now be at least the first secretary of the embassies and consulates in Europe and the United States."
"Really." Liu Ziguang nodded thoughtfully. He understood what Wang Qian meant. He just wanted to tell himself that whether it was to exclude or win over, these two people were not so easy to deal with.
Wang Qi was very satisfied with the effect of her words, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, just leave the rest of the work to them. It's time for you to go back and continue studying."
"Don't you need me to go to a new job with them?" Liu Ziguang asked.
"Look at you, you just said that you would go through fire and water without hesitation, but now you are worried again. Don't you believe in Zhong Handong's ability to lead troops, or do you think Qiu Pengfei's connections are worse than yours?"
"Of course not, I'm just asking." Liu Ziguang shrugged.
…
The passports of all employees of Red Star Company were obtained in the afternoon of the same day, but the departure date had to be postponed for a few days. They mainly carried out training on food, clothing, housing and transportation in the tropics, received various epidemic vaccines, signed various labor contracts, commercial insurance, and team members.
Of course, the most important work of ideological education is indispensable for mutual understanding between people.
And all this has nothing to do with Liu Ziguang. He, the nominal general manager, has actually been deprived of all power. He has no personnel appointment and removal rights, no financial power, the formulation of the company's articles of association, and the arrangement of financial personnel have nothing to do with him. He only needs to
If you receive your salary every month and sign important documents, you have completed your mission.
That night, Liu Ziguang flew to the capital with Director Tan and Wang Qian to continue his political studies. On the plane, Liu Ziguang mentioned the case of Fang Fei's mother to Director Tan and asked him if he could help understand the situation. Director Tan thought for a while and replied:
"This matter is very complicated and involves the local political structure. You can inquire about the situation, but it is basically impossible to directly intervene to affect the outcome."
