"I thought you wouldn't come to the company when you went back to China for vacation. I was just wondering how to contact you! Why didn't you rush to apply for a mobile phone card?"
Shen Ji was busy with the things at hand. When he knew that Cao Mo had arrived at the company, he didn't say to make a phone call directly or ask his secretary to find Cao Mo. Instead, he walked to the administrative office area and sat down on Cao Mo's desk. , talk to him.
"Mr. Shen, you have to respect yourself in the company. If you need anything, just call me or send your secretary to call me to your office - you are making me feel like I'm on pins and needles!" Cao Mo sat on the chair and laughed.
"If I send my secretary to call you and you hand me some chewing gum, will I take it or not?" Shen Ji said with a smile.
"That guy Chen Zhi has already filed a complaint with you. Are you here to fire me?" Cao Mo asked.
"This guy is annoying. Ignore him. The real estate department is so arrogant now that I have to hold it in. Who told them to create so much profit for the group?" Shen Ji waved his hand and said.
Although Dongsheng has obvious characteristics of a family business, as a balance before and after listing, it must comply with the regulatory requirements of relevant agencies and accept the participation of several investment institutions.
The entrepreneurial veterans back then all held shares to a greater or lesser extent, and the current decision-making level is involved in more complex matters.
Perhaps the founder, Ding Xuesheng, and the chairman, Ding Zhaoqiang, who has actually taken over part of the company's business since the mid-to-early 1990s, have extremely high authority in Dongsheng.
However, as Ding Xuesheng's grandson and Ding Zhaoqiang's nephew, Shen Ji did not have such a reputation in Dongsheng, and many people even stood up clearly to oppose the blatant training of Shen Ji as his successor.
After all, Dongsheng is not a feudal dynasty. Not to mention that listed companies still have many investment institutions and other small and medium-sized shareholders to check and balance them. However, for truly capable people, China is so big that there is no other place for people. They will not really be in Dongsheng. Hang yourself from a tree without daring to express your opinion.
This is very different from Kanem.
Ding Xuesheng and Ding Zhaoqiang are entrepreneurs after all, and they have strong personalities. But if you offend them, at least you don't have to worry about losing your life like offending the Jidam family.
Shen Ji's current position in Dongsheng Group is both delicate and embarrassing.
He had a good impression of Cao Mo, not just because the Cao family had a relationship with Chen Rong, which helped him get help from Chen Rong, but mainly because the West Africa Branch had indeed made some achievements in Kanem.
This is also the achievement that he single-handedly promoted after he actually established the overseas department.
Yang Deshan later told him that Cao Mo played a crucial role in the breakthrough performance of the West African branch; even Yang Deshan's initial market research report that deceived the company was done by Cao Mo.
Shen Ji himself is highly educated, but after actually doing work, he discovered that at his level, academic qualifications are really not necessary, and are just a tool for preliminary personnel screening.
Maybe the Cao family was just grassroots, but Shen Ji could still feel Cao Mo's ability.
Besides, how many of Dongsheng’s top executives are not from grassroots backgrounds?
Besides, Cao Mo has done a lot of work on his own in Lonta, and he is no worse than anyone else. This time, Cao Mo personally invested US$1 million in the Conero Lake Industrial Park project.
At present, his parents started a business with his grandfather Ding Xuesheng in the early years and received some shares in Dongsheng. However, Shen Ji has only joined Dongsheng three years ago and has no shares yet.
He is now an executive of a listed company, with an annual salary of two million. He can charm a large number of beautiful girls in Xinhai, but it is not as good as Cao Mo's annual income. How can he stand in front of Cao Mo?
"By the way, I have something to discuss with you..." Shen Ji said.
"What do you want me to do?" Cao Mo asked.
"I don't dare to tell you, it's about the capital injection of the Conero Lake Industrial Park - since you opened a trust account with the United Bank of Oman to participate in the investment, the company is going to directly publicize that the United Bank of Oman is involved in the investment. No one else here at the headquarters can do this except me. "My uncle, Mr. Guo, and Mr. Chen know about it, but they don't plan to disclose it to others," Shen Ji said.
Although Dongsheng encourages employees to start their own businesses, there are limits.
Yang Deshan has worked hard and achieved great results. This time he officially participated in the investment in the Conero Lake Industrial Park, which is nothing. However, his previous investment in the Qionai Gold Mine will not be publicized.
After all, Cao Mo was only a grassroots supervisor in Dongsheng.
If it were revealed that both he and Yang Deshan were involved in investments, and that Guo Jian even had shares in the Qiao Nai Gold Mine, it would definitely cause unfavorable discussions about Shen Ji in the group, as Shen Ji was believed to have poor control over the department.
When the time comes, senior executives within the group who dislike Shen Ji may use this as an excuse to forcefully interfere in the overseas business.
"I still want to pretend to be 13 in front of Chen Zhi. Well, okay, I'll just act like a bastard, and Chen Zhi can't do anything to me, right?" Cao Mo said with a smile.
"Okay, I don't like Chen Zhi anyway, as long as you don't get caught by him and get fired." Shen Ji said with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, do you have anything else to tell me? Either we go to your office to talk, or you lecture me to be more aggressive? I can't stand other people's eyes while you are here!" Cao Mo paid attention to the administrative office for more than a dozen people at this time. Employee No. 1 kept looking here, a little unable to bear it, so he asked Shen Jidao.
"I have nothing to do. By the way, I have time to have a meal with Mr. Lu in the evening, and then we can set up a game and ask you to cheat us out of some money?" Shen Ji asked.
"I'll forget it. I really can't stand on the stage. Thank you very much for your support." Cao Mo begged for mercy.
He really didn't like Lu Yan, and when it came to Taihua's mess, he wanted to hide as far away as possible.
Otherwise, if the Lu family was cheated out of a big sum by Zhou Han again, would they still be suspicious of him?
"That doesn't stop you from being a gangster in the company. When did you apply for a domestic mobile phone card? Tell me!" Shen Ji patted his butt and went back to the office first. He, the vice president of the overseas department, is not as free as Cao Mo. .
Cao Mo was sitting in the corner and ignored him. As soon as Shen Ji left, several people, including the beautiful receptionist named Zhou Qin, came over holding a folder and asked mysteriously: "What is your relationship with Mr. Shen?" It looks good, have you known each other before?"
"No way? Didn't Mr. Shen come to Kanem twice for inspection? The local black girl we arranged was very energetic and authentic. Mr. Shen just came over to me to reminisce - you know it!" Cao! Mo Yi said, and several male colleagues laughed meaningfully.
"A bunch of stinky hooligans! Mr. Shen is not the kind of person you think..." Zhou Qin hugged the folder and said "hum" in displeasure before leaving. It was obvious that she was quite infatuated with Shen Ji.
"Mr. Shen is not the kind of person we thought, and he has nothing to do with you, Zhou Qin! His real girlfriend is a top student at Tsinghua University, and she is currently studying at Columbia University. Look at the photo on Mr. Shen's desk. That face, that figure..." Someone teased Zhou Qin.
"Huh!" The front desk lady stomped her feet angrily, twisted her butt and went back to her desk.
…………
…………
She regretted not bringing her laptop to the company. Song Yuqing didn't allow him to harass her in the company, and she couldn't get along with the people in the administrative department. After staying up until eleven o'clock, Cao Mo really couldn't sit still.
Zhou Qin got a temporary work permit and went downstairs to find a place to apply for a mobile phone card.
In 2005, you did not need an ID card to apply for a mobile phone card, and you did not have to buy the card from a communication operator. Some street shops even sold mobile phone cards.
Three years ago, when Cao Mo went abroad to Kanem, Yinguang Plaza, Dongsheng Building and several nearby high-rise buildings had either just been completed and were being renovated, or the pile foundations had just been laid.
Two years ago, in the year 2000, the city government made clear plans to speed up the construction of a commercial center in Qingshan District. However, they did not expect that after returning from abroad in just three years, there were already many high-rise buildings.
Feel it.
The nearby Tianzifang has also been renovated to have the atmosphere of a cultural district.
Abacha has always said that his movements in Ibogu are so fast that people can't see them, but I don't know what Abacha would feel if he could go to China and walk around, or live for two or three years.
In order to feel the changes in the neighborhood, Cao Mo walked directly to Yinguang Plaza and walked east from the tree-lined path on the north side of Dongsheng Building. After walking for a while, he didn't see any small shop selling mobile phone cards, so he went around to the Yinguang Plaza.
A small street on the back side of Light Square.
This street left a deep impression on Cao Mo. The city's key Qingshan Middle School where he and Cheng Xi studied, as well as where Jiaying was studying, were at the intersection of the small street. During his junior high school and high school years, he often went to this street to buy breakfast, and then
Wandering to school - the same goes for Cheng Xi.
However, he was much shy back then than he is now. He often had breakfast with Cheng Xi and walked to school together, but he didn't talk much.
There were many small shops in this street. Cao Mo finally bought a mobile phone card and replaced it with one. He sent a text message to Song Yuqing, Yang Deshan, Shen Ji, Kabuga, Ochosan, Lucy and others.
Although Stali was in Xinhai and he definitely wanted to meet her, Cao Mo was hesitant to contact her now.
Seeing that the breakfast shop where he often stayed before had changed its door and turned into Shaxian snacks, Cao Mo went in and ordered a set meal of braised pork rice and pig heart soup.
United Bank of Oman has a branch in Xinhai, but as a foreign-funded bank, it cannot currently absorb public deposits in the country and can only provide specific investment services to high-end people. Therefore, it only has one headquarters on Huaihai Road in Xinhai.
When Cao Mo returned to China, he spent 7,788 US dollars in cash at duty-free shops at the transit airport.
He has less than two thousand US dollars left in his hand, but he can exchange it at any bank. But if he wants to exchange more cash, he needs to apply for a domestic bank card, and then go to the branch of the United Bank of Oman for transfer.
Rather cumbersome.
Cao Mo bought a small notebook and pen and sorted out all the things he had to do in the past two days while eating, but he didn't notice Tian Zhen and two colleagues walking in.
Tian Zhen and the others didn't notice Cao Mo at first. After ordering at the counter, they found a seat and sat down. When they saw Cao Mo occupying a table to himself, they were a little dazed...
