Chapter 1524 The advantages of the Tang people (third update, please subscribe)
Pan Asia Airlines' C717 jet tilted one wing over the Sulu Sea, lowered its altitude, and finally approached Chang'an International Airport on the outskirts of Chang'an.
As the plane was about to land, Zheng Guilu looked down eagerly at the bustling metropolis below from his seat by the window.
He felt a little nervous because of his excitement. In fact, there was nothing nervous. After all, he had been here more than once. Although he only graduated from high school, he had attended a class at Nanyang University Business School a few years ago. Although He is not really an international student, but he has benefited a lot from studying here.
"Okay, it's not a big deal, I just came here to talk about cooperation with them."
The reason why Zheng Guilu came here was to discuss cooperation issues with the construction company here.
Although South Korea's construction technology capabilities are very poor, there are many companies in the sea that are among the best in the world in terms of technical capabilities.
In the past ten years, these construction companies and design offices have not only designed and built skyscrapers, highways, high-speed railways, airports, ports and other infrastructure projects in Sea, but have also participated in other countries. A lot of engineering.
The construction companies here are not only involved in projects in Southeast Asia and Africa, they have even opened up markets in Europe and America.
Not only do they have the best construction engineers, but they also have the best construction technology. In short, for now, the best construction technology in the world is here.
Not even the United States can compare with this.
In fact, Zheng Guilu did not understand the development of architectural history. When skyscrapers rose in the late 19th century, American construction technology was far ahead in the world. After the end of World War II, with the rise of East Asia in the 1960s and 1970s, Japanese and Korean construction companies became the world's first-class construction companies. At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, construction companies from Japan and South Korea almost monopolized the international construction market. , a considerable part of the famous Dubai projects are undertaken by Korean companies such as Samsung.
But soon, Japanese and Korean companies were replaced by big countries. After more than ten years of practicing in big infrastructure, big country construction companies finally went overseas to participate in international market competition. Just like entering other industries, once they entered this industry, big country construction companies Just put Japanese and Korean companies into a life of doubt. There is no way, there is really an advantage in terms of labor costs.
In fact, this transfer of construction technology itself is inevitable for the development of infrastructure. When the United States completed its modern infrastructure, Japan and South Korea began to kick off. By introducing overseas technology, their companies grew rapidly and then replaced American companies.
The same is true for big countries. In the beginning, they digested and absorbed modern construction technology through the introduction. With the economic boom and the arrival of the era of large-scale infrastructure, after practicing their skills locally for more than ten years and accumulating rich experience, they naturally replaced Japan. , a Korean construction company.
Now, after more than ten years of hard work in the local market, Sea's construction company has entered the international market, which is also a development necessity.
The Korean construction company represented by Zheng Guilu is technically not worth mentioning at all. That's why he came here and wanted to improve his technical level by seeking cooperation.
Although he is a foreigner, he still passed customs inspection through the national channel with Qiao Ming's passport.
When taking the passport, the customs officer said: "Welcome home."
Zheng Guilu felt an inexplicable kindness.
"Home"!
This is indeed their home. For these overseas wanderers, this is indeed their reliance. It has always been like this.
The words "go home" gave Zheng Guilu an inexplicable sense of belonging in his heart.
This sense of belonging was something he couldn't find even in South Korea. When Zheng Guilu was undergoing customs inspection, the assistants who had followed him to Chang'an were waiting to pass the customs inspection. They were Koreans and the customs clearance procedures were more complicated.
After waiting for a while, the group left the airport by car. On the way, Li Yonghao, the club's representative in Chang'an who came to pick them up, said:
"Director Zheng, we have initially contacted several construction companies, but they don't seem to have much interest in cooperating with us,"
Looking at Li who was silent, Li Yonghao continued:
"After all, they also have a lot of business dealings with Xigong. If we go there now, we will be their competitors.
In this case, they are definitely not willing to cooperate with us. ”
This is common sense in business. No one is willing to support a competitor.
And this is also the most difficult part of Zheng Guilu's trip.
"So, Director, I think it will be difficult for us to convince them to cooperate with us. Of course, if we can find capable people, we should be able to make some breakthroughs with their help."
The powerful people Li Yonghao refers to are the senior managers of those companies. They must have a certain influence on the construction company. If they can get their help, then Zheng Guilu will definitely have the ability in Chang'an to do this. There are no senior people I know.
"No need to do this for now? I will talk to them personally later."
Of course Zheng Guilu knew what Representative Li was thinking. In fact, the entire Samsung Club was now looking at him to see how much benefit he could bring to the club.
In other words, everyone is looking forward to when the Tang director can take advantage of his status.
The advantage of his status is probably the fundamental reason why he was promoted to director at such a young age. After all, this guy just graduated from high school. How could he be in a high position if it weren't for his Tang identity.
"Director, the hotel has been arranged for you, we..."
Before Li Yonghao finished speaking, Zheng Guilu said:
"Since the hotel has been arranged, there is no need to go there now. Well... let's go to Hetai Building now." "Go there now, it is afternoon..."
Li Yonghao said with some confusion:
"We may not be able to make it in time. By the time we get there, they will have almost finished get off work."
"Isn't this just right?"
Zheng Guilu said:
"We just happened to go have a meal together after work, have a couple of drinks, and talk about something."
Hearing what the director said, Li Yonghao sneered in his heart.
Boy, he thought he was in Korea!
Doesn't he know that no one here would discuss work during off hours?
However, Li Yonghao didn't remind him. After all, he was the director. Since he had already decided, he just had to obey.
More than half an hour later, the car stopped in front of Hotai Building. Hotai Construction is the earliest construction company and a subsidiary of North Borneo Company. It is also one of the top five well-known construction companies in the world. .
Because of this, various customers come and go here every day, and among these customers, there are customers from large European and American countries, as well as customers from developing countries such as the Middle East, South America, and Southeast Asia. , South Korea belongs to the most inconspicuous kind, because... he is too poor.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Therefore, when Zheng Guilu and his party arrived at the lobby of Hetai Building, no one cared that they were only treated symbolically.
"Representative Li, Section Chief Wang is not in the company today. He is at the construction site, otherwise you..."
Li Yonghao said before the receptionist finished speaking.
"Oh, the protagonist today is not me. Let me introduce to you. This is Director Zheng of our club. He is here..."
After Li Yonghao finished speaking, Zheng Guilu said:
"I'm here to see Manager Han Changping Han!"
The receptionist couldn't help but be stunned, because Han Changping was the general manager of Hetai Construction.
Before he could react, someone happened to get out of the elevator on the other side. Han Changping, who had just stepped out of the elevator, heard that someone wanted to see him, so he followed the voice and looked over, and then took the initiative to walk over and say hello.
"Hello, I am Han Changping. Little brother, your accent is also from Lu Province?"
As soon as he saw the true master, Zheng Guilu quickly bowed and said:
"Yes, Mr. Han, I am Zheng Guilu, the director of Samsung Club. His ancestral home is Weihai, Jiaodong. His father went to South Korea when he was young. This time he came to Chang'an for business. I heard that Mr. Han is a senior figure in our business community in Shandong Province, so I came here to visit. Mr. Han, please forgive me for my rudeness.”
When speaking, Zheng Guilu's accent was completely Shandong accent. Bow again and hand out the business card with both hands again.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Han Changping, who was very friendly when he heard the local accent, smiled and took the business card, and then said:
"It's not easy to be a director of the club at such a young age. Hmm..."
Han Changping thought for a while and said:
"I don't have any plans tonight. There is a Shandong restaurant nearby. Let's go and taste the taste of hometown."
"This is my honor, Mr. Han, please go first."
Seeing the two of them walking out side by side, Li Yonghao was shocked. Although he knew that Han Changping was from Lu Province, he did not expect that Director Zheng would be related to such a big shot so easily.
Seeing Li Yonghao's surprised look, assistant Jin Yiming, who was watching next to him, said with a smile.
"See if you can, that is the advantage of the Tang people."
It is the advantage of Tang people that if they were replaced by foreigners, big shots like Han Changping might not even look at him, but they are fellow townsmen.
Looking at Li Yonghao who was stunned and still had not recovered, Jin Yiming then asked:
"Representative Li, now do you understand why all clubs need a Tang director?"
Now even a fool can understand why a Tang director is needed? Because when directors from the Tang Dynasty deal with these companies in Chang'an, they are closer to each other and it is easier to reach consensus.
