Chapter 506 534, The Confidante Who Stayed in Jiangcheng (Asking for Monthly Votes)
Yang Hao's impression of Kang Zhichao is not very good. It's not just this meeting. When he and Li Manshu were still married, they came to see Mr. Kang together. Kang Zhichao, this uncle, was very snobbish.
When Yang Hao opened several chain hot pot restaurants, he was very nice. Later, when Yang Hao's hot pot restaurants closed down, it was also him who was ridiculed in the family group.
Although Kang Zhichao was very enthusiastic when he came to celebrate Mr. Kang's birthday this time, he was scheming in several choices, just wanting to take advantage.
It was not until it was confirmed that Yang Hao would really acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant that Kang Zhichao made up his mind to hold Yang Hao's thigh and show his courtesy in various ways.
His attitude of changing with the wind made Yang Hao very ashamed. Moreover, Kang Zhichao's faults were not limited to this. After it was confirmed that Yang Hao would acquire Xiangyang Steel Plant, his behavior of pulling tiger skins and flags made Yang Hao extremely uncomfortable.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Kang Zhichao really became a senior leader in the factory, his tail would not be up to the sky.
Yang Hao would naturally not reuse such a person. He let him continue to work in the factory for Li Manni's sake.
The factory director's office.
Zheng Dongshan's things had been moved away long ago, and Zhang Fengshou had not had time to move his things in. The huge office seemed quite empty.
However, there were tea sets. After all, Zhang Fengshou had a wife who ran a teahouse, and was very familiar with the process of making tea. He politely poured tea for Yang Hao, and then the two sat down on the sofa in the reception area.
"Director Zhang, let's make a long story short. If you have any further ideas or areas where you need my support, just let me know."
"I've said before, just go for it, and tell me if you encounter any obstacles that you can't solve."
Yang Hao took a sip of tea and reiterated his support for Zhang Fengshou.
"Boss Yang, the internal reorganization of the factory can be completed in about a month. In fact, the most critical issue is the sustainable development in the future. Although the reason why our factory has been losing money for years is largely related to the various problems of large state-owned enterprises, the backwardness of technology and production lines is also an indisputable fact."
"I want to introduce four advanced production lines."
"Well, if it doesn't work, it's okay to introduce two first."
Zhang Fengshou probably felt that it would cost too much to introduce four production lines at once, so he changed the four production lines to two.
"How much does it cost to introduce four production lines?"
Yang Hao put down the teacup in his hand and directly activated the "listen to the voice" skill to Zhang Fengshou while asking the question. Although Guadi has a high evaluation of Zhang Fengshou, he still wants to see what Zhang Fengshou thinks in his heart and whether he has the intention of abusing his power for personal gain.
"I'm afraid it will cost about 1 billion."
Zhang Fengshou had already inquired about it and calculated it himself. If four production lines are introduced at one time, it will cost more than 950 million.
Zhang Fengshou: 1 billion should be enough. If 950 million is not enough, it will be troublesome to make additional investment.
Zhang Fengshou: Mr. Yang asked directly about the price of four production lines. He is really rich. I just don't know how he will react after hearing the price.
After hearing Zhang Fengshou's thoughts, Yang Hao felt a little funny, because although Zhang Fengshou doesn't talk much, he thinks a lot.
However, from what he thinks in his heart, it can be judged that the 10 billion he said should be more accurate, and he has no intention of abusing his power for personal gain.
"Mr. Yang, it's like this. If we directly put four production lines on line, the financial situation of the factory may not look good in the short term, but in the long run, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful. After the four production lines are built, the workers in the closed factories and workshops will not need to leave, and our production efficiency and product quality will be able to leap to the domestic first-line level in an instant."
Zhang Fengshou naturally hopes to put four production lines on line at once. Seeing that Yang Hao did not express his opinion immediately, he immediately talked about the benefits of putting four production lines on line directly.
Yang Hao listened quietly and did not express his opinion immediately. With the help of his father, he naturally did not lack the 1 billion yuan, but he could not give Zhang Fengshou the impression that he was "stupid and rich". Money can be spent, but it cannot be easily spent.
Just as the two were talking about the production line.
Kang Zhichao returned to the logistics department.
Because he did not get any promises from Yang Hao, Kang Zhichao was in a low mood at the moment. When he walked into the office of the logistics department, he lowered his head and was unwilling to make contact with others.
However, in the past few days, the employees of the logistics department have become accustomed to looking up at the uncle of the big boss. After he walked into the office, the employees in the public office area immediately stood up from their seats.
"Hello, Director Kang."
"Does Director Kang need help to get you food later?"
"Director Kang, my cousin brought some local specialties from his hometown, you try it"
At present, everyone in the logistics department wants to have a good relationship with Kang Zhichao. In their opinion, as long as they have a good relationship with Kang Zhichao, they can avoid being laid off. After all, he is the uncle of the big boss, and his words must be useful.
As a result, Kang Zhichao's position in the logistics department is higher than Sun Hai's.
In the face of everyone's attentive attitude in the past two days, Kang Zhichao could still accept it happily, but now he is inexplicably a little flustered. After all, the imagined job promotion did not come true, and Yang Hao did not give him any substantial promises.
So Kang Zhichao just said a few perfunctory words and walked into his office.
"What's wrong with Director Kang?"
"Is it because he didn't get promoted?"
"Is his relationship with the new boss fake!"
"It shouldn't be that bad. Didn't the new boss attend Mr. Kang's birthday party?"
When Kang Zhichao walked into the office, everyone immediately started talking about it.
Sun Hai, who had been following Kang Zhichao's dynamics, walked into Kang Zhichao's office with a small box of tea. He put the tea on the desk and said with a smile: "New tea sent by a friend, try it."
"Director Sun, you are too polite."
Kang Zhichao thanked him with a forced smile. Of course, he knew the other party's intention. Therefore, although he didn't get any promises from Yang Hao, he had to keep his "royal relative" persona and could only try to pretend to be the same as usual.
"Old Kang, didn't you go to see Mr. Yang?"
"What did he say?"
Sure enough, Sun Hai's sending tea was just a cover, and the real purpose was to gather intelligence.
"I directly said that Zhang Fengshou was not suitable to be the factory director, and Xiao Yang said he would seriously consider it."
"However, Zhang Fengshou was just appointed by him at the staff meeting, and it is not easy to change his order overnight."
Kang Zhichao said while trying to make excuses for himself.
"What about your personal position?"
"I can't let you continue to stay in the logistics department!"
Sun Hai asked again.
"Well, as for me personally."
Kang Zhichao dragged out a long tone, and then said seriously: "Xiao Yang said that I can go to any department I want, just tell him, but I haven't thought about it yet."
"In addition, I am Xiao Yang's uncle after all. It's not a good thing for him to promote me just after he took over the factory. It makes him seem like he is appointing people based on personal connections."
"So, I want to wait until the situation in the factory is completely stable. Now that the public-private transition has just been completed, the factory is likely to be in chaos for a while."
Kang Zhichao's answer seems to be reasonable, but it can't fool an old-fashioned person like Sun Hai.
Putting aside these fancy words, the actual situation is that the position of Director Zhang Fengshou will not be shaken for the time being, and Kang Zhichao's own position has not been adjusted. He is still just a deputy director of the logistics department.
"Director Kang is so conscious."
"I still need to learn a lot from Director Kang."
Sun Hai replied perfunctorily, and then left Kang Zhichao's office, thinking about how to get close to Zhang Fengshou.
Because from the current situation, Zhang Fengshou is the real thigh!
And Kang Zhichao's so-called "royal relative" is very empty, just a useless title.
After Sun Hai left, Kang Zhichao directly locked the office door. He thought for a while, and then called his third sister Kang Huizhi.
"Third sister, there is something you need to help me with."
As soon as the phone was connected, Kang Zhichao cried, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Zhichao, if you have something to say, just say it nicely."
Kang Huizhi on the other end of the phone was shocked. Her brother Kang Zhichao was fifty years old, and he was crying on the phone. Kang Huizhi instinctively thought that something big had happened.
"Third sister, this is it. Xiao Yang bought our steel plant, but he made my mortal enemy the factory director. If it was just that, it would be fine. He promoted so many people, but not me. Everyone in the factory knows that I am his uncle. How can I survive in the factory in the future?"
Kang Zhichao is undoubtedly a good actor. He always cries when he speaks, trying to use his inappropriate reaction to arouse Kang Huizhi's sympathy.
However, Kang Zhichao chose the wrong person. Kang Huizhi knew his brother very well. In addition, he was obviously the wrong party in this matter. Kang Huizhi naturally couldn't sympathize with him, but frowned instead.
Li Baojun was beside the brother and sister when they were talking. After listening to his brother-in-law's complaints, he was speechless and couldn't help complaining: "Zhichao, if you feel that you can't make it in the factory, just quit. We won't tolerate this."
"Uh"
After listening to Li Baojun's words, Kang Zhichao, who was still brewing emotions, was stunned.
He even cursed!
If you can't make it, just quit?
Listen, is this human language? !
Kang Zhichao took a deep breath and adjusted his furious emotions. If it was before, he would have cursed directly, but now it is different. Li Baojun is Yang Hao's father-in-law. If he offends him, his promotion will be completely hopeless.
"Brother-in-law, you know I've worked in the factory for more than 20 years, how can I just quit!"
"Besides, our steel plant now belongs to Xiao Yang, and this is our family's business. Xiao Yang is so busy, so it's reasonable for me to help him look after it!"
Kang Zhichao "argued with reason", and his words were righteous.
"Xiao Yang didn't promote you because he didn't want to turn the factory into a family business!"
"Zhichao, if you really want to support Xiao Yang, then don't make trouble, just do your job honestly!"
Li Baojun retorted, how could he not hear the meaning of Kang Zhichao's words, wasn't it just complaining that Yang Hao didn't give him a promotion?
But you can't force others to get promoted, and the reason for your promotion is because you are a relative!
At an old age, he is too self-righteous, and he has no sense of boundaries in doing things!
Kang Zhichao was speechless, and he knew that he was not right in this matter, but Kang Zhichao didn't want to be reasonable at all, otherwise he would not have called Kang Huizhi.
"Brother-in-law, Third Sister, after all, I am one of our own. Xiao Yang would rather hire outsiders than his own people, which means he doesn't consider us as his own people at all."
Beep beep beep.
Kang Zhichao wanted to stir up trouble and play the emotional card, but the phone was busy.
Third Sister? ?
Hello? ? ?
Kang Zhichao took the phone away from his ear, and the call was hung up.
"You are so good, Li Baojun!"
"You rely on your son-in-law to eat meat, but you don't even give me soup to drink, right!"
Putting down the phone, Kang Zhichao jumped up and cursed.
But after cursing for a while, he became a little discouraged, because no matter how he cursed, he couldn't change the established facts.
There was no change in his position, and there was a risk of becoming a laughing stock.
After thinking for a while, Kang Zhichao called Li Manni again. He thought that it should be okay for him, as an uncle, to ask for favors for his niece. However, when Li Manni heard about this matter, she directly said that it was inconvenient for her to intervene in the affairs of Xiangyang Steel Plant, and then hung up the phone.
Kang Zhichao was unwilling to give up after hitting a wall again and again. After get off work, he hurried to his father Kang Jingchun's house and told his experience to Mr. Kang again with righteous indignation: "Dad, how can Xiao Yang do things like this? He bought a factory worth 10 billion, but he can't give me a deputy factory director position?"
Pah! !
As soon as Kang Zhichao finished speaking, the old man Kang slapped him in anger, his beard puffed up, and he cursed: "Little Yang owes you?"
"Deputy factory director?"
"Do you have the brains to be a deputy factory director!"
"You even called Manny to ask for a promotion. You really made our Kang family lose face!!"
Kang Zhichao thought his father could help him, but he was scolded by the old man.
While Kang Zhichao was being scolded, Yang Hao had returned to Jiangcheng after a long absence.
Tomorrow is the opening day of the largest bar in Jiangcheng, [Qing].
Yang Hao, the behind-the-scenes boss, is also going to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. In fact, Yang Hao can attend or not attend the opening of the bar. The main reason he wants to return to Jiangcheng is to see his confidantes.
As the saying goes, "It feels like a long time since we last met"!
He hasn't seen these confidantes in Jiangcheng for a long time.
After arriving in Jiangcheng, Yang Hao went to Wang Xueru's coffee shop first.
It was the time to get off work, and the coffee shop was quiet. There were only three tables of customers, two of which were young couples whispering, and the other was two well-dressed middle-aged men. There were computers on their tables, and they looked like they were working, but their eyes would occasionally glance inside the bar.
"This boss lady looks really cool."
"I asked for WeChat just now, but I got the WeChat of the store!"
"That's because you used the wrong method. This boss lady is like a wolf and a tiger. Look at me!"
The relatively tall and gentle-looking man patted his companion on the shoulder, and then prepared to get up and go over to chat.
At this moment, a man entered the coffee shop and strode towards the bar.
Seeing this, the gentle-looking man had already left his seat and sat back down. He nudged his companion with his elbow and said, "Look, here comes another one."
"No chance!"
The companion curled his lips in disdain. After all, a man as handsome as him was rejected.
However, the next moment, a scene that shocked the two of them happened. After seeing the man, the proprietress who was sitting at the bar and playing with her phone boredly suddenly jumped up, then walked out of the bar and threw herself into the man's arms.
This was not the end. Immediately afterwards, the two of them kissed each other without paying attention to anyone else!
Damn it!!
This? ?
The two men looked at each other in shock.
Because the proprietress and the man's movements were so big that they even startled the two couples who were whispering, the four of them immediately looked towards the bar.
