Shen Ji returned to overseas and pretended to handle a few work emails. Seeing that it was almost noon, he told his secretary, picked up the car keys, and went to find Cao Mo and the others to go out for lunch.
"Mr. Shen, are you going out now?" Xu Xin greeted Shen Ji who was about to go out in front of the overseas department with the materials in hand.
A separate office was established to focus on Dongsheng's various systems in West Africa and the business cooperation with Tianyue. In the final analysis, the manager Xu Xin was specifically responsible for doing miscellaneous tasks.
How this office will ultimately operate and even make decisions, the final decision maker is not only Ding Zhaoqiang, but also Shen Ji, Dong Chengpeng and even Zhao Xinyu, the president of the West Africa branch, will all participate in the discussion.
Of course, in order to avoid aimless discussions, Xu Xin needs to draw up a draft first, so that everyone can have a clear target during the discussion.
No matter how stupid Xu Xin is, she realizes that today's events are extraordinary. She wants to come to Shen Ji to inquire about the news first, or discuss with Shen Ji how to draft this draft so as not to deviate too far from Ding Zhaoqiang's true wishes. .
She, a so-called white-collar worker who relies on salary to survive, always revolves around the will of the big boss.
Shen Ji naturally knew what Xu Xin was coming to talk about at this time, and said, "I'm going to see Cao Mo. Can you come with me?"
"Well!" Ding Zhaoqiang made it clear that the cooperation with Tianyue would be included in the scope of the newly established office. She would have to deal with Cao Mo in the future, but Xu Xin asked strangely, "Cao Mo returns to China today. Yes, not in his own company downstairs?"
"Things are more complicated..." Shen Ji walked into the elevator and told Xu Xin what happened at the Jinchen Golf Course this morning.
"..." Xu Xin was speechless for a long time after hearing this. She took Shenji's car and rushed to the food street near Zhiyun Lake Industrial Park in Qingshan District to meet Cao Mo and the others.
Zhiyun Lake Industrial Park is one of the oldest industrial parks in Xinhai. Not only is the Xinxuan Food Factory and the second phase project located in the industrial park, but the Tianyue Industrial Product R&D and Testing Center is also located here - in addition to the neat factory buildings dotted around it , the park business center located on the bank of Zhiyun Lake has also developed and constructed many office buildings, as well as catering, leisure and entertainment and other formats to serve enterprises and employees in the park.
It was lunch time, and the Zhiyun Lakeside was very lively. I walked into a Chinese restaurant called "Jiangzhe Renjia" and walked into the private room. I saw that besides Chen Feng, Cao Mo and the others were surrounded by other people.
In addition to Guo Donghu and others, Xu Bin, who stayed in China during this period and was in charge of the preparation and construction of the Tianyue Industrial Product R&D and Testing Center, was also in the box.
Tianyue Trading is preparing to build a product R&D and testing center under its wholly-owned subsidiary, and then buys out the trademark use rights of Huachen Industrial in West and Central Africa, intending to rely on the relatively complete industrial chain within the office to develop and produce independent motorcycles. Products, in Dong Chengpeng's view, this is not only a redundant move, but also the continuous investment of the huge profits Tianyue Trading earns in the West African market every year into this bottomless pit that is not worth investing in. It is an extremely unnecessary risk in commercial investment. .
Dong Chengpeng has his own clear understanding.
The domestic motorcycle ban policy is becoming more and more stringent, and the competition among so many motorcycle companies is becoming increasingly cruel. There is a huge technical gap between mid-to-high-end products and European, American and Japanese brands, and there are patent technology barriers that are difficult to overcome. As a mature investment manager, , will absolutely not support such a risk.
However, Cao Mo not only supported Xu Bin's almost desperate adventure, but even transferred 10% of the shares to Xu Bin and Xu Lizheng at a price of a quarter of He Xi's price. To be honest, Shen Ji could not imagine how much Dong Chengpeng felt about Cao Mo. How much goodwill can Mo still have?
Of course, Dong Chengpeng was in the office today and helped Lu Jianchao negotiate without any scruples. Shen Ji was also a little surprised and wondered whether Dong Chengpeng had deeper interests involved with the Lu family.
Shen Ji sat down and talked about Dongsheng's latest decision on West African affairs, which was why he brought Xu Xin here directly.
"Dong Chengpeng suggested that Manager Xu be responsible for this new office?" Cao Mo frowned slightly and asked casually after hearing Shen Ji's details about how he and Chen Rong rushed to Dongsheng Building to meet Lu Jianchao after they left in the morning.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Shen Ji was a little confused that Cao Mo would ask for such minute details. Xu Xin had previously been responsible for liaising with the West African branch in the President's Office and was relatively familiar with various situations. If this new office needs There was one person responsible for daily affairs, and Shen Ji also felt that Xu Xin was a suitable candidate.
"Oh, it's nothing. I heard that Dong Chengpeng also spoke for Lu Jianchao today. It seems that their relationship is extraordinary." Cao Mo said with emotion.
"There are many industrial investment projects in Xinhai, especially innovative and high-tech projects. Even if everyone agrees that they are in line with future development trends, there is no clear profit prospect in a short period of time, and there are relatively large risks. Basically, they are Everyone participates and invests a little to spread the risk - Dong Chengpeng, as the president of Hexi Fund, communicates with other investment institutions
Tong, he is responsible for the coordination work, and in this circle, he is more comfortable than me." Shen Ji said.
In modern society, there is no such thing as undying loyalty.
Dong Chengpeng is trusted by Ding Zhaoqiang to run the Hexi Fund, but after all, he is not a vassal of the Ding family. He has his own interests and connections outside the Ding family, just like Shen Ji is closer to them and his interests are more closely tied. .
It is normal for Dong Chengpeng to speak for Lu Jianchao today in exchange for benefits from the Lu family.
Ding Zhaoqiang decided to put Dongsheng's cooperation in West Africa and Tianyue under the jurisdiction of the newly established office. I don't know if this was due to Dong Chengpeng's suggestion, but it was also a disadvantage for them.
Their previous cooperation with Dongsheng seemed to be the final decision made by Ding Zhaoqiang, but it belonged to a different system within Dongsheng. Therefore, even if some contradictions and conflicts of opinion inevitably occurred in some places, it could be better and more clever. to solve.
The situation has changed now.
The investment cooperation between the two parties in the Conai Luo Lake Industrial Park is directly participated by the West Africa Branch and managed by the Overseas Investment Division presided over by Shen Ji. Dong Chengpeng had not been able to intervene in the slightest, and it was impossible for Ding Zhaoqiang to interfere in specific affairs without reason. .
The establishment of the new office will change this situation.
Cornero Energy and Hexi Fund must add the personal shareholdings of Wang Jianzhong and Li Qilu to be considered as controlling shareholders. Wang Jianzhong and Li Qilu have always been direct relatives of Shen Ji in the overseas department, and Cao Mo and others The relationship is so close that under normal circumstances, Dong Chengpeng would not be able to bypass Shen Ji and exert influence on Wang Jianzhong and Li Qilu.
The establishment of a new office will change this situation.
Cornero Foods and Hexi Fund hold 20% of the shares, while Dongsheng Grain and Oil Department is responsible for cooperation in downstream business. With the establishment of a new office, Cornero Foods’ right to speak will inevitably be further strengthened.
Tianyue Trading is a relatively purely financial investment by Hexi Fund and is no longer able to exert influence from the business level.
If we analyze it this way, even if the new office comes from Dong Chengpeng's suggestion, in the end it is Ding Zhaoqiang who makes the decision, and the decision-making power is directly transferred to Ding Zhaoqiang. This can be seen as a new way for Ding Zhao to strictly control the cooperation between the two parties. manner.
However, some conveniences that they could use cheaply through Shenji no longer exist.
Of course, Cao Mo didn't feel any surprise about this.
