When all the shareholders were present, Tongdao Xu did not rush to convene everyone for a meeting. Instead, he took everyone to the lake of this villa to fish as planned.
In this season, the grass is growing and warblers are flying, the spring is warm and the flowers are fragrant, and the sun is shining brightly today. Isn’t it a good season for fishing?
Of course, in order to take care of the ladies attending today, Comrade Xu said to everyone: "Let's go! Let's have a picnic!"
Picnic...
These two words immediately aroused the interest of the ladies present, and all their eyes lit up.
In contrast, the two male shareholders, Mr. Cao and Mr. Xue, were a little less interested and even frowned slightly.
Tongdao Xu noticed.
So he specifically said to them: "Mr. Cao, I heard that you like fishing. How about we go fishing together later? Mr. Xue, do you want to join us?"
Now, Mr. Cao also had a smile on his face.
Only Mr. Xue was left. He shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Okay! Then I will go fishing with you two."
Comrade Xu did not mention the meeting for the time being, and these shareholders were not in a hurry to mention it.
reason?
Probably because during the time that Tongdao Xu was at the helm of Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd., the development of Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd. in which they had a stake was booming, right?
…
Tian Xin, Yan Shijin's sister-in-law, is the actual manager of this villa.
Comrade Xu arranged today's meeting here and had already expressed his anger with her.
Therefore, she had already had people prepare everything needed for picnics, fishing, etc.
By the lake at the foot of the mountain, several parasols, fishing rods, horse traps, bait, nest materials, and other items have been prepared.
Xu Tongdao and others came all the way.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of pink willows and red willows in this villa, everyone looked happy.
Han Xiaowen looked at the surrounding scenery and praised: "I didn't expect that there is such a good place in Tianyun City. I have never been here before. What a pity!"
Jiang Jing chuckled, "Auntie, it's not too late now that you know this place exists! If you like, we can come here often in the future."
Zhang Changshang answered with a smile: "That's right! Xiao Han, you can really come here more often in the future. By the way, I have heard of this villa before, but I have never been here. Today is also my first time here. Don't mention it.
It’s really good, the boss here will enjoy it!”
…
Everyone talked and laughed and came to the lake.
For those who fish, sit under the umbrella by the lake and pick up your fishing rod.
The ladies who did not fish gathered at the oven not far away, and enthusiastically studied how to grill the various ingredients that had been prepared.
Some people were not satisfied with the ingredients that the villa had prepared long ago, and proposed to go to various parts of the villa to find other fresh ingredients. They said that the ingredients must be hand-picked and baked to eat, which will give a greater sense of accomplishment.
Such a cruel suggestion was actually approved by most of the ladies.
…
Lakeside.
To the left of Comrade Xu is Mr. Cao Wei.
On the right is Mr. Xue Wentao and Mr. Xue.
As for Zhang happening?
He and Mr. Li Linfei sat together, fishing and chatting.
Among all the shareholders attending today's meeting, who has the best idea about the content of today's meeting?
That must have happened to Zhang.
Because two days ago, Comrade Xu had told him on the phone in advance that Uni-President Group and Master Kong Company might acquire shares in their Ximen Yipin Company.
Why did Xu Tongdao tell Zhang Fang in advance?
There are two main reasons.
First of all, among all the shareholders, the one who currently has the closest relationship, the deepest friendship, and the longest acquaintance with Comrade Xu is undoubtedly Zhang Fangfa.
They knew each other as early as when Tongdao Xu only had a small barbecue restaurant in Shazhou County under his name.
Later, Tongdao Xu also cooked a whole-sheep banquet for a period of time at Zhiweixuan in Zhangfa.
In recent years, they have interacted and cooperated quite a lot.
In addition, Zhang Fashang had informed Comrade Xu several times about Hou Jinbiao's previous affairs. Between Hou Jinbiao and Comrade Xu, Zhang Fashang was obviously on Comrade Xu's side.
Therefore, Comrade Xu was naturally much closer to Zhang Fafa psychologically.
As the saying goes: It is difficult to support a tree alone.
In Ximen Yipin Food Co., Ltd., although he, Tongdao Xu, is the largest shareholder and controls the controlling stake, in the final analysis, the relationship between him and these shareholders is a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship.
He cannot use his power to overwhelm others at every shareholder meeting, ignore the will of all shareholders, and act arbitrarily.
If he really does that, although legally speaking, with the controlling rights he holds, he can indeed suppress the will of all shareholders.
but……
This is not a healthy way to work together.
If the situation of using power to oppress others happens a few times, these shareholders will definitely become dissociated from him, not to mention that the relationship will gradually transform from a cooperative relationship to a friendship.
I am afraid that these shareholders will become his enemies before long.
When doing business, the most taboo thing is to make enemies everywhere.
The most stupid thing is to turn someone who could be a friend into an enemy.
Therefore, Tongdao Xu needs to find one or two allies among these shareholders, one or two allies who can help him convince other shareholders at critical moments.
Zhang Fang was the first ally he attracted.
In the future, he may try to bring Han Xiaowen into his ally camp.
Secondly…
From a human perspective, we should have different attitudes towards people who are close or distant.
If you treat everyone equally at any time, you may make people who are close to you feel disappointed and alienated.
Moreover, people who are alienated from you will not get closer to you just because you treat them equally every time.
Why?
Because people who were alienated from you find that people who are close to you cannot get any preferential treatment from you, so why do they need to get close to you?
As the old saying goes: How to repay kindness with kindness?
This old saying is used here. Although it is not accurate, the meaning is similar.
Regarding Hou Jinbiao's incident, Zhang Fang informed him of Comrade Xu many times. Due to circumstances and reasons, Comrade Xu should repay Zhang Fang at the appropriate time.
In Xu Tongdao's view, this shareholders' meeting is a suitable opportunity.
Revealing the topics of the shareholders' meeting to Zhang Fafa in advance can not only win Zhang Fafa's favor, but also give him greater confidence in persuading Zhang Fafa to stand in the same camp as himself.
Why not?
The truth is...
Two days ago, when Xu Tongdao communicated with Zhang Fa on the phone, he had successfully persuaded Zhang Fa to agree to allow Uni-President Group or Master Kong to invest in their Ximen Yipin.
Moreover, during the phone call, Zhang Shan offered to help Comrade Xu today and help deal with other shareholders.
No, while he was fishing and chatting with Mr. Li next to him, he was deliberately trying to help Comrade Xu win over Mr. Li Linfei.
