Chapter 228 Negotiations
On the third night, Zhao Dongsheng was working in an office of the Warwick Group's Haidu office, and the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
Zhao Dongsheng felt a little strange. The number of this phone number has not been announced to the public yet. Only senior leaders like Wu Wen of Warwick Group knew about it. He only spoke with Wu Wen, Zhou Jun and Niu Baoguo in the afternoon. They shouldn't be looking for themselves now. Could it be that someone called the wrong phone number?
"Hey, who do you want?" Zhao Dongsheng picked up the phone and asked calmly.
"Weiguo, it's me." A familiar voice came from the other side of the phone. It was Zhang Haishan, executive vice mayor of Binzhou City, and Zhao Dongsheng's old leader when he was in Huangzhou Machinery Factory.
Zhang Haishan came to be a lobbyist at Jiangnan Shipyard. In fact, he didn't want to make this call. The dispute between Warwick Group and Jiangnan Shipyard had already reached his ears. No matter who is right or wrong, he would support Warwick Group because Warwick Group has a passion for him.
The predecessor of the Warwick Group, the predecessor of the Huangzhou Machinery Factory, was established under the care of Zhang Haishan. It can be said that he and Gu Liancheng are both the founders of Warwick Group. If something happened to Warwick Group, he naturally had to stand on the side of Warwick Group.
However, the Jiangnan Shipyard, to be precise, the leader of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation found Zhang Haishan's third brother. Zhang Haishan's third brother owed the other party a favor because of the warship matter, so he called Zhang Haishan, hoping that Zhang Haishan could help.
Since the third brother spoke, Zhang Haishan naturally wanted to help. He knew that the third brother would not call him this time, so he probably was very embarrassed about it.
Moreover, Zhang Haishan also felt that if Zhao Dongsheng insisted on with Jiangnan Shipyard, it would not be a long-term solution. Although Zhao Dongsheng was in a reasonable position in this dispute, if Jiangnan Shipyard really forced the 37 Russian experts, it would inevitably cause Jiangnan Shipyard to suffer tens of millions of losses, it would also make the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and Hedong Province become a grudge. In people's eyes, Zhao Dongsheng is a stubborn and cruel person, which is not conducive to his future development.
Therefore, Zhang Haishan also wanted to take this opportunity to mediate the conflict between Zhao Dongsheng and Yang Yi. Sometimes it is not necessary to defeat the other party, which means winning. When he is inappropriate, he must learn to give up. He is worried that Zhao Dongsheng is too young and energetic and does not know how to give in at the right time.
In fact, Zhang Haishan was wrong. Zhao Dongsheng has been struggling in society for so many years in another world. Of course, he knows that "tolerance is calm for a while, and take a step back and the sky is wide open." However, he must convey his tough attitude to the outside world so that no one can attack the Russian experts any more.
Besides, Zhao Dongsheng is now twenty-five or six years old. It is the time when young people are impulsive. He wants to show the young people's bloodiness and cannot appear too calm, as that will not match his age.
Zhao Dongsheng has been waiting for Tao Cheng to find a way for him, so that he can go with the situation and reach a settlement agreement with Jiangnan Shipyard to resolve the current matter.
Now that Zhang Haishan has called this phone call, Zhao Dongsheng will naturally seize this opportunity to ease the tense atmosphere with Jiangnan Shipyard. After complaining to Zhang Haishan, he agreed to contact the people of Jiangnan Shipyard and strive to resolve the dispute between the two parties happily.
After Zhang Haishan hung up the phone, a hint of relief smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although Zhao Dongsheng complained to him, he did not mean to fight to the end with Jiangnan Shipyard. This shows that Zhao Dongsheng is making rapid progress and knows how to look at the overall situation to consider things.
Zhang Haishan sincerely admired Zhao Dongsheng's growth rate. Four years ago, when he was the director of Huangzhou Machinery Factory, Zhao Dongsheng was the newly established, poor and careless Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory. He was the deputy director and Zhao Dongsheng was just a small department head.
Four years later, Zhang Haishan served as the executive vice mayor of Binzhou City, and his rank was still the deputy department. Warwick Group is one of the best enterprises in the country, creating a large amount of foreign exchange every year. Zhao Dongsheng and Xiao Zhengke also transformed into Huangzhou City's deputy mayor and deputy department-level cadre in charge of industry.
If we only look at the position level, the two are already the same, but their qualifications and status are different. For example, Zhang Haishan is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and a member of the Lingnan Provincial Party Committee, while Zhao Dongsheng did not join the Municipal Standing Committee, and was only an alternate member of the Hedong Provincial Party Committee.
However, considering Zhao Dongsheng's age and speed of growth, this is very rare in the country. Zhang Haishan would never have thought that such a thing would happen four years ago.
The next morning, Tao Cheng, Yang Yi and others came to the Warwick Group's Haicheng Metropolitan Office. Since Zhao Dongsheng had agreed to solve the problem, they naturally had to come over to negotiate.
This time, the security guard in the hall did not stop them. A staff member took them to a multi-functional conference room upstairs and asked them to wait here for a while. Zhao Dongsheng would come soon.
"Warwick Group is indeed rich and powerful!"
This multi-functional small conference room is decorated magnificently, completely according to the most advanced level in the world, luxurious and atmospheric. Yang Yi glanced at the decoration and decoration in the house and couldn't help but sigh to Tao Cheng. This small conference room alone costs a lot of money. If this office building is decorated according to this standard, then it would be a considerable expense.
The office building where the Warwick Group’s Haidu office is now located was completed and put into use in May this year, with a height of 49 floors. In Zhao Dongsheng’s plan, it will be the location of the Warwick Group’s Asia headquarters.
Tao Cheng sighed not only about this office building, but also about various commercial projects of Warwick Group in Haidu City, such as hotels, shopping malls and office buildings, and everything combined will be an amazing amount.
Unlike other units, all projects under Warwick Group are built with foreign exchange investments earned by Warwick Group. No cent is an administrative appropriation, which is incomparable to other units. No one is as good as Warwick Group, and has miraculous financial resources.
In addition, all projects of Warwick Group have passed the approval and audit of the Hedong Provincial Government, and no one can find any problems. Zhao Dongsheng has always been doing things step by step, without any leakage, and does not give others any chance to cause trouble.
"The sea is an international metropolis. Warwick Group will deal with the big companies in the world by then, and the hardware facilities will naturally be in line with the international community." Tao Cheng heard the sourness in Yang Yi's words, so he said with a smile, but his eyes showed a look of worry:
Facing the wealthy Warwick Group, what can we use to impress Zhao Dongsheng? It is obvious that money is not attractive to Zhao Dongsheng, and the Jiangnan Shipyard cannot provide the amount that interest Zhao Dongsheng.
Yang Yi also thought of this problem and frowned immediately. He felt that the negotiation with Zhao Dongsheng would be a difficult process.
Yang Yi has already understood Zhao Dongsheng's power. He originally occupied an active position in this dispute. Who would have thought that Zhao Dongsheng unexpectedly counterattacked, and the situation reversed in an instant, forcing the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation to secretly come forward to help him. This shows that this young man is very difficult.
"Director Tao, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" After a moment, Zhao Dongsheng led Lu Ping, Han Susu and others in. He glanced at Yang Yi sitting next to Tao Cheng and said to Tao Cheng with a smile.
"Where, we have just arrived." Tao Cheng smiled and stood up, stretched out his hand to Yang Yi who was standing beside him, "Mr. Zhao, this is the director of Yang Yi of Jiangnan Shipyard."
"Director Yang, we finally meet." Zhao Dongsheng looked at Yang Yi with a smile and said meaningfully.
"I have some misunderstandings before, I hope Mr. Zhao will not be able to let go of him." Yang Yi's face couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment, and he said to Zhao Dongsheng with a smile. After all, he has experienced many big scenes so that he would not be sarcastic by Zhao Dongsheng and became angry.
The tables and chairs in the small conference room were U-shaped decorations. Zhao Dongsheng smiled and sat opposite Tao Cheng and Yang Yi. The negotiations between the two sides immediately kicked off.
"Mr. Zhao, those Russian experts are really important to our factory. As long as you can keep them, you can ask for anything you have and we will try to satisfy it."
Since it was a dispute between Jiangnan Shipyard and Warwick Group, the protagonists of the negotiations were Zhao Dongsheng and Yang Yi. Tao Cheng was here to listen. After Zhao Dongsheng took the seat, Yang Yi took the lead and said sincerely to Zhao Dongsheng, wanting Zhao Dongsheng to raise conditions.
"Since you want to keep those experts, of course you are here to make the conditions." Zhao Dongsheng smiled and looked at Yang Yi. The party who raised the conditions first in the negotiations is often at a disadvantage, which makes the other party judge its bottom line. Of course, Zhao Dongsheng would not make this common sense mistake.
"In this way, we plan to borrow those experts. No one pays you a 100,000 yuan loan fee every year." Yang Yi had guessed that Zhao Dongsheng would not easily reveal his bottom line, so he pondered for a moment and said to Zhao Dongsheng.
One expert has 100,000 yuan a year, and 37 experts have 3.7 million yuan. This price is already very high in the current environment.
"Let's do this. Because you have been entertaining those experts for so long, our group will pay your hospitality fee of 100,000 yuan per expert. What do you think?"
Zhao Dongsheng laughed. Yang Yi was a beggar. Warwick Group never lacked money and did not take the 3.7 million Chinese coins at all. In his opinion, the value of these 37 experts is worth 300 million.
"Mr. Zhao, the economic situation of our factory is no better than that of your factory. Not only are there seven or eight thousand employees waiting for dinner, but there are also two or three thousand retired employees who need to be supported by the factory. In addition to investing in new projects, it is not easy to be able to spend the 3.7 million yuan a year."
Yang Yi heard the dissatisfaction in Zhao Dongsheng's tone, so he smiled bitterly and explained to Zhao Dongsheng, and began to cry for poverty.
"Director Yang, every family has a difficult book to read. Your factory is difficult, and our group is not easy either. The total number of employees in the group's subordinate companies is 500,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,000 or 600,0
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongsheng said to Yang Yi calmly, "Who can't cry? He came out immediately. You, Jiangnan Shipyard, only has tens of thousands of retired employees, but the number of employees of Warwick Group has reached 50,000 or 600,000. Which one is more important than that?
Moreover, the difficulties encountered by Jiangnan Shipyard cannot be transferred to Warwick Group. The two parties belong to two different systems and have no cooperation with each other. Warwick Group cannot pay for the difficulties of Jiangnan Shipyard.
"Let's do this, Mr. Zhao, our factory has two pieces of land in the urban area of Haidu, which occupies a considerable area and has a good seat. We can transfer these two pieces of land to your group for planning and development."
Yang Yi had already guessed that Zhao Dongsheng was dissatisfied with his proposal just now, and then increased his bargaining chips. He knew very well that Warwick Group was not short of money, and it was just a test just now. The so-called asking for a price everywhere and repaying the money locally, the cooperation conditions between the two parties were negotiated slowly, and it was impossible to achieve it overnight.
The two pieces of land in Jiangnan Shipyard are located in Xiguan District and Dongguan District, Haidu City. Like many large state-owned enterprises, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Jiangnan Shipyard set up some land in the suburbs of Haidu City for spare use.
With the development of Haidu City, the urban area has continued to expand. Now, almost all the land locations have become urban areas, and the potential commercial value has soared.
Although the two pieces of land Yang Yi mentioned are the best of the few pieces of land owned by Jiangnan Shipyard, Haidu City is the most developed place in real estate. If auctioned, the two pieces of land will have at least tens of millions of income. He was able to take out these two pieces of land to express his sincerity to Zhao Dongsheng.
