Chapter 630 Walking Medal of Merit
“Mr. Gu Dayang, I think it’s time to end this meaningless war!
BAK Group is willing to contribute to the Old European Lighter Association , and make due contributions to the reconciliation with the mainland lighter industry."
Antoine said to Gu Dayang on the phone that since the decision to reconcile, BAK Group must strive for the best interests.
As for whether the old European lighter colleagues will die or not, that has nothing to do with the BAK Group. When disaster strikes, they all go their separate ways. Companies in the old European lighter industry often have internal strife on weekdays.
After drinking a lot of water, Gu Dayang finally swallowed the noodles in his mouth.
But the shock in Gu Dayang's heart was hard to get over. When he heard that Piccolo took the initiative to bring up reconciliation, Gu Dayang's eyes were a little red.
Since he accepted the commission from the Domestic Lighter Import and Export Association and took on this lawsuit, he has been traveling between old Europe and the mainland.
In this foreign country, I have hit so many walls, encountered so many targets, glares, and even been teased, just to seek a chance of a comeback. Only those who have experienced it will understand that feeling!
Reconciliation was what Gu Dayang wanted. He was about to agree, but suddenly remembered what Li Dongling told him before he came to Old Europe this time.
"Mr. Antoine, I am very happy to receive your call.
However, I need to report this matter to my client before I can make a decision!"
… …
“Damn it!”
Hearing the busy signal on the phone, Antoine couldn’t help but cursed. The BAK Group was about to reconcile, but the Torch Group didn’t answer the question. Stubble.
But what makes Antoine helpless is that now the BAK Group has completely lost the initiative, and there is nothing that can be done against the Torch Group.
After all, BAK lighters have been forced to cease production completely. With every day of delay, BAK lighters become more and more cold, until one day, they are completely forgotten.
......
"Bang!"
In a billiards room at Oriental Times Mall, Li Dongling made a hole-in-one, and it was Zhang Ao who was playing against Li Dongling.
There were also Li Dongshan, Gao Peng and others present. The decoration of Oriental Times Mall has been completed and the first trial operation is about to begin.
Gao Peng also brought some people from the Logistics Department of Tanglin Hi-Tech to come over to help with the inspection. A large part of the product selection, supply chain, transportation, etc. of Oriental Times Mall are undertaken by the Logistics Department of Tanglin Hi-Tech. of.
“The Torch Group has made a lot of noise in old Europe. I heard that BAK lighters have been discontinued, and brands such as Clifford, Dunhill, and Grasshopper are all rumored to be abandoned. Disposable lighter!"
Zhang Ao rubbed chocolate powder on the billiard cue and said with a smile to Li Dongling. The marketing department he was in charge of had many people in Old Europe.
The first head of the newly formed Dongling Hi-Tech Europe Company is Lu Chao, Zhang Ao’s general. Lu Chao was previously responsible for the sales of Donglin Hi-Tech in Europe. President of Ling Hi-Tech Europe.
Lu Chao has a very special status. He once switched jobs to Tangling Hi-Tech with Ren Yuefeng, general manager of Tanglin Hi-Tech.
But then he was sent to Europe to help Dongling Hi-Tech develop business. He has been working under Zhang Ao for these years and is very popular with Zhang Ao.
But if you want to say that Lu Chao is Ren Yuefeng's man and Zhang Ao's man, then you have to ask Lu Chao himself. Lu Chao has never responded to the outside world, which faction of Dongling Hi-tech he belongs to.
However, with Ren Yuefeng and Zhang Ao here, Lu Chao has now become one of the most powerful figures in Tangling High-tech. When acting in Old Europe, he is basically not restricted by the headquarters, and no one dares to act in it. The headquarters gave him eye drops.
“Lighters are not as important as other industries. This industry is not so valued by old Europe. You can give it a try. In other industries, it is impossible to do this!”
Li Dongling hit another shot. He knew that this time Black Label Lighter's wanton behavior in old Europe could not be copied, and it had no reference.
As for mobile phones, computers, automobiles and other industries, if they dare to play like this with the Torch Group, they have already been dealt with by the old Europe.
Precisely because lighters are just an "inconspicuous" industry, and lighter brands such as BAK, Clifford, Dunhill, and Grasshopper have long since moved their production lines out of old Europe. There are not many employees in Europe.
Even if the market is taken away, not many old Europeans will be affected even if companies such as BAK make a few noises. This is also the reason why the French city government does not respond much.
The phone rang, and after Li Dongling heard the words on the phone, he couldn't help but stopped what he was doing, "Tell Gu Dayang that the negotiation location can only be in Pingyang!
The place of surrender can only be decided by the winner, and the loser can only accept the decision! "
Listening to Li Dongling's words, Zhang Ao couldn't help but be a little surprised. He just mentioned that Piccolo had been tortured and stopped production, but he didn't expect that the other party would fall to his knees so quickly.
“Bick wants to reconcile? Zhang Ao couldn't help but ask. Li Dongling continued to pick up the billiard cue and scored another goal, "Let's see how big a piece of meat I can bite off this time!" ”
……
"Director Wang, the Lighter Import and Export Association called and I hope you can rush to Pingyang to attend a meeting!"
Yanjing State Administration for Industry and Commerce, when Wang Yongyu was processing documents, his assistant knocked on the door and entered. A document was handed to Wang Yongyu.
Looking at the document in his hand, Wang Yongyu also showed a look of surprise in his eyes. The document only had a few lines of words, but it took Wang Yongyu to read it for several minutes.
“The world of the global lighter industry is about to change!”
Wang Yongyu murmured to himself, but his expression could not help but show excitement, “I can’t say, it is really possible internationally. There will be an industry dominated by domestic companies! ”
The global lighter industry is not a big one, but if it is an industry dominated by domestic companies, the significance will be extraordinary.
If disposable lighters are really dominated by the country, even for a unit like the Yanjing State Administration for Industry and Commerce, it will be enough to be included in the year-end summary report reported to superiors.
For a person of Wang Yongyu’s status and status, this is also a memorable moment in his resume and official career. When he retires, his official career will be finalized. As long as he mentions the development history of domestic lighters, His name must be mentioned.
“Tell the Lighter Import and Export Association that I will definitely participate!” Wang Yongyu said solemnly.
Like Wang Yongyu, those invited to attend this meeting were also the Economic and Trade Commission, Foreign Exchange Department, Hanxi State Investment and other departments and companies that participated in the establishment of the Torch Group project.
...
After a bumpy flight, Antoine and Rousseau finally took a few people from the port city to the airport in Hanxi Provincial City.
When they got off the plane, they didn't know whether it was because they had been sitting on the plane for too long or because they were feeling uncomfortable. Their faces were extremely ugly.
The negotiation place was in Pingyang. How could Antoine and Rousseau not see that this was the meaning of the Torch Group's demonstration.
But what can be done? Brenno Beek, the president of BAK Group, is not willing to accept this anger. They can only bear the anger. Between making money and being angry, you have to choose one. Sometimes You still have to choose both, and you earn money for being a loser.
"You two are tired from traveling, why don't you take a rest first!"
Whether it's a life-and-death fight or not, but the scene is passable, Zhang Xiaocheng still takes Gu Dayang, Zhou Wenyan and others The executives of Torch Group personally received Antoine and Rousseau.
Rousseau looked tired and prepared to agree. There was still a tough battle waiting for him, although he knew that what he couldn't get on the battlefield would be even harder to get at the negotiation table.
No matter how difficult it is, Rousseau has to find a way for Bick to survive. Otherwise, when they land in Paris, they will be kicked out.
But before Rousseau could speak, Antoine stared at Chang Hsiao-cheng and said, "Your company is really good at it!"
"Are Global Trading Company and Black Label from the Torch Group?"
Zhang Xiaocheng laughed and did not answer Antoine's objection at all, "I don't know what Mr. Antoine is talking about, the Torch Group is just A lighter manufacturer, normal production and acceptance of orders, if necessary, Torch Group can also provide customized lighters! ”
“I want to see the production line of Torch Group”
An! Tuowan said unwillingly, he wanted to see with his own eyes how he was defeated, otherwise, he would never feel at ease in this life.
Zhang Xiaocheng looked at Antoine with a stubborn face and nodded towards Zhou Wenyan, "Old Zhou, take him with you!"
When he sat in a golf cart and entered the Torch Group Industrial Park, which could have been a town in old Europe, Antoine had a look of shock in his eyes.
He had seen the information collected by his men and knew that the Torch Group was very large, but when the numbers on paper actually appeared in front of his eyes, the shock was still unimaginable to Antoine. .
The Torch Group did not hide anything from Antoine, and only by letting him see where Bick lost can the next negotiation proceed smoothly!
From shock to numbness, I visited several companies that produce parts for Torch Group, and then came to the assembly workshop of Torch Group. When I saw the assembly lines running continuously, the people on both sides of the production line The clerk, after assembling lighters one after another, Antoine walked out silently.
BAK Group, in the lighter industry, will never be able to stand up again. This is what Antoine thought after seeing the Torch Group Industrial Park. It will never be possible in this life. As long as the Torch Group can still exist!
"Senior Brother Gu!"
"He Si!"
"Director Wang!"
In the conference room of the Lighter Import and Export Association headquarters, Li Dongling saw the people who came from Yanjing Gu Xiguang, He Heng, Wang Yongyu and others, as well as Li Weimin from the Hanxi Industrial Department, Wu Yaoguo, general manager of Hanxi State Investment, and others also came to the scene.
When Antoine and Rousseau came in, Gu Xiguang, He Heng and others immediately turned their attention to the two of them. Antoine and the two looked unnatural. For some reason, they always looked at each other. It feels like these people are looking at medals of merit!
