Chapter 354 You Can Never Give Up

Hearing that Tang Zifeng was coming, Gao Jinsheng not only arranged for the company's best car to pick him up at the airport, but also personally brought a group of company executives and middle-level cadres to the office building to greet Tang Zifeng and others when they arrived at the company. Losing Tang Zifeng's face made Tang Zifeng think that this person might not be so bad-tempered and could still be rescued.

"Welcome Mr. Tang!"

"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

"I have admired Mr. Tang for a long time!"

"... Mr. Gao's famous name is just like thunder."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Tang is too polite, we just met so late!"

"If love lasts for a long time, how can it be like day and night... It's just!"

After a flurry of pleasantries, the welcome ceremony was over. From beginning to end, Gao Jinsheng did not introduce his subordinates to Tang Zifeng, nor did he let these people come forward to talk to Tang Zifeng. In fact, some of Xia Yiji's cadres are familiar with Tang Zifeng, such as Xia Yiji's general manager Shao Weiyuan. But when Tang Zifeng tried to say hello to Shao Weiyuan, he found that the other party avoided his eyes, obviously not wanting to talk to him.

Tang Zifeng didn't know what was going on, but he thought he would do as the locals do, so he wouldn't cause any trouble. Gao Jinsheng made an invitation gesture to him, and he laughed and walked side by side towards the building with Gao Jinsheng. Gao Jinsheng's secretary Tan Maojie accompanied Tang Zifeng's secretary Xiong Kai walking behind their respective leaders. As for the cadres of Xia Yiji, they followed these four people and also walked into the building.

After entering the office building, the people behind dispersed, probably going back to work. These people were arranged by Gao Jinsheng to go downstairs to greet Tang Zifeng, but they didn't say a word about how they came or how they got back. It feels like they just came out to serve as backdrops. Now that the meeting ceremony with the boss is over, the backdrops have retired.

Taking the elevator that was said to be dedicated to Gao Jinsheng and arriving at the top floor of the office building, Tan Maojie trotted forward and pushed open the door of Gao Jinsheng's office, then stood at the door with his hands hanging down. Gao Jinsheng smiled reservedly and led Tang Zifeng into the room.

This is a large office with an area of ​​hundreds of square meters. Judging from the layout of the entire office building, this office should have been built by opening up several rooms.

The decoration of the house is very elegant, but not tacky. On one side of the room, there is a huge boss's desk with a computer and several bookshelves next to it. Tang Zifeng glanced at the bookshelves from a distance and saw several books that were quite popular among today's elite circles, such as "Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism". From this, we can also see Gao Jinsheng's His educational background is quite good, and what he holds in his hand is definitely not a diploma that comes with free phone bills.

On the other side of the room, there is a set of sofas. A quick glance shows that they are all made of leather. In the middle of the sofa is a long wooden coffee table with carved flowers, giving it a somewhat antique feel.

Gao Jinsheng let Tang Zifeng sit on the sofa in the middle, but he moved a wicker chair and sat across from Tang Zifeng across the coffee table. No one asked Xiong Kai where to sit. He hesitated and sat down on the sofa next to him, feeling a little uneasy.

Tan Maojie started busy as soon as everyone entered the room. He brought the entire tea set like a magic trick, placed it on the wooden coffee table, then set up a small electric stove and started boiling water. The water was poured from a mineral water bottle. Tang Zifeng took a peek and saw that it was not Yiyun. It seemed that Mr. Gao also had some shortcomings in knowledge. Do you want to remind him later?

Seeing that the water in the kettle had begun to boil, Tan Maojie glanced at Gao Jinsheng. Gao Jinsheng waved his hand and said, "Maojie, please take Secretary Xiong to your place to sit. I will entertain Mr. Tang here."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Gao, if you need anything, just ring the bell and call me." Tan Maojie agreed and looked at Xiong Kai.

After Xiong Kai hesitated for a moment, Tang Zifeng spoke: "Xiong Kai, just go chat with Secretary Tan. Mr. Gao and I will have tea here."

Xiong Kai quickly stood up and imitated Tan Maojie's words: "Okay, Mr. Tang, if anything happens, just..., uh, just call my mobile phone."

Both secretaries exited the office. After Tan Maojie left the door, he carefully closed the door for Gao Jinsheng. Gao Jinsheng opened the tea box, scooped some tea leaves with a wooden spoon, and put them into the purple clay pot. He also took the freshly boiled water from the electric stove and poured it into the purple clay pot. A fragrance suddenly floated out. Tang Zifeng sniffed and said with a smile:

"Mr. Gao's tea is really good. This should be the top-quality Dahongpao, right?"

Gao Jinsheng showed a smile and said: "Mr. Tang is really knowledgeable. This is my best tea. If ordinary people come, I will not bring out this kind of tea. There are so many people in the world, and you are the only one, Mr. Tang." It’s just worthy of my top-notch pot of Dahongpao.”

Tang Zifeng said: "What Mr. Gao said made me panic. Why do I feel that there should be a thunder, and then I can use an excuse to drop the things in my hand to the ground."

"Ha, Mr. Tang is right, the heroes in the world are just me and Mr. Tang." Gao Jinsheng said proudly.

What Tang Zifeng said just now was based on the allusion of Cao Cao and Liu Bei having a drink and discussing heroes, and what Gao Jinsheng said was exactly what Cao Cao said: "The only heroes in the world are the envoy and Cao Er." In fact, when Gao Jinsheng dismissed Tan Maojie and Xiong Kai and made tea for Tang Zifeng himself, Tang Zifeng knew that he wanted to play this joke. He was obviously a literary young man with excessive feelings and often added drama to himself. .

"Mr. Gao, if I'm not mistaken, this should be my first time meeting Mr. Gao, right? Why does Mr. Gao think so highly of me?" Tang Zifeng asked half-seriously.

Gao Jinsheng picked up the purple clay pot, poured a cup of tea for Tang Zifeng and himself, and then said leisurely: "Since I want to be in the machine tool industry, I naturally want to inquire about the brains in the industry. There are so many in the country. The only boss of the machine tool factory that I admire is Mr. Tang. I heard that Mr. Tang, you are only 32 years old this year, only 4 years younger than me. With your current momentum, by the time you are 36, The achievements may be greater than what I am now.”

"Uh..., how dare you, how dare you, Mr. Gao's achievements are beyond my reach."

Tang Zifeng was angry and funny. Since everyone was not familiar with it, he could only deal with it like this.

Gao Jinsheng's words just now were probably because he sincerely wanted to praise Tang Zifeng, but to Tang Zifeng's ears, they sounded like Hong Guoguo's curse. Gao Jinsheng said that Tang Zifeng will be able to achieve what he is today in another four years, which means that Tang Zifeng's current achievements are not as good as his.

Gao Jinsheng's confidence comes from the fact that he owns a successful real estate company and more than a dozen manufacturing companies under the group that monopolize the production of certain products. He felt that although Tang Zifeng became the general manager of a large enterprise like Linji Group at a young age, in terms of achievements, he was still slightly inferior to him.

Before coming to Xia Liang, Tang Zifeng had people investigate the situation of Jinsheng Group and found out that Jinsheng Group was a well-known company in Jingnan with total assets of three to four billion. Sitting on such an asset, Gao Jinsheng certainly has the capital to be arrogant.

But if you want to be arrogant, you have to find a partner, right? Others see you as having three to four billion and think you are unattainable, but the Shuangyu Feihai Company under my name, Tang Zifeng, is not a vegetarian either. The equity I hold in Lijia Supermarket alone is worth more than 5 billion. How do you know that I am poorer than you?

Thinking this in his heart, Tang Zifeng would certainly not be so tacky as to compare his wealth with the other party. If the other person thinks that he is awesome, then let him maintain this optimistic attitude. Besides, others don't look down on you in particular. They all say things like "Only envoys and caoer", what else are you dissatisfied with?

"Mr. Gao, I took the liberty of coming to visit this time. I think Mr. Gao also knows my intention, right?"

Tang Zifeng decided to avoid the topic of forklifting and started talking about business.

"What you want to talk to me about is probably what President Zhou said, right?" Gao Jinsheng asked calmly while sipping his tea.

"Yes, it's exactly what President Zhou talked about with you." Tang Zifeng said, "I want to know what we can do to persuade Mr. Gao to give up this kind of price competition."

"It is impossible to give up, and it will never be possible to give up." Gao Jinsheng said, "When President Zhou came last time, I already told him that the issue of price reduction is our own business, Xia Yiji , has nothing to do with others. We are already a country that has joined the WTO, and everything should be done in accordance with the principles of market economy. The state cannot interfere with the operation of enterprises, Mr. Tang said, right?"

Tang Zifeng nodded slightly and said, "That's the truth. But what Mr. Gao does is causing us colleagues a lot of trouble. Although Mr. Gao is only in the lathe market now, I believe that when Qingji and the previous one After Linji was defeated by Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao will definitely start to enter the boring machine and milling machine market, which will directly threaten our Linji Group. Can Mr. Gao really not leave a way for his younger brother to survive? "

Gao Jinsheng said: "Mr. Tang's words are too serious. Yes, our Xia Yiji's next step is indeed to build a boring and milling machine, but it won't leave Mr. Tang with no way out. I heard our chief engineer here say that when the opportunity comes, We have several high-end machine tools at our disposal, such as heavy-duty machine tools for processing ship crankshafts. Each one costs 30 to 40 million yuan. We Xia Yiji cannot do this anyway. What we can do is just ordinary machine tools. It’s just a product that doesn’t have much profit.”

Tang Zifeng said: "Marine crankshaft machine tools seem to be highly profitable, but we can't sell a few units a year. To support the 30,000 employees of Linji Group, we will definitely have to rely on ordinary machine tools. If this market is completely occupied by Mr. Gao Take it away, and at least 20,000 of my 30,000 people will have to drink the northwest wind."

"There's nothing we can do about this." Gao Jinsheng said, "I'm just talking about business."
