Chapter 358 Vice President Zhou
It was almost five o'clock in the evening when I came out from the Vanke meeting.
"I'll take you to have a big dinner!" Xu Chen said with a smile.
Wu Feifei: "Xiao Xu always treats us to a big dinner, but today he easily won a four million project!"
Xu Chen: "Then Miss Wu will choose a place."
Wu Feifei: "Are there any budget restrictions?"
Xu Chen looked domineering: "No!"
……
The Bund, Peace Hotel.
Longfeng Hall is a local Chinese restaurant in Shanghai with a history of nearly a century.
It is also known as "state banquet level" Shanghai local cuisine.
Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh. She was worthy of being the leader's daughter, and she was really good at picking places.
Amy Sun looked at the English menu and couldn't even guess what the dish names were.
He looked at the custom price at the bottom again and glanced at Xu Chen anxiously.
Xu Chen smiled:
"I'm treating you, don't look at the price."
Xu Chen took a look and found that it was actually not bad.
Compared with the kaiseki meal I took Xie Bingran to eat, the price is still quite different.
"Dragon Teng Ying Xia" is the name of this recipe...
Exquisite samples were placed on the table one after another, and the two little girls couldn't help but take photos and check in.
But in fact, let go of the weird dish names, which include grilled ribs, foie gras, Shanghai smoked fish, and charcoal-grilled cod.
After tasting it, I was still very surprised.
Even if it is the same dish, the food is indeed better than other restaurants.
After all, the pleasant feedback from your taste buds cannot lie.
Overall, it's worthy of the price, not to mention the dining environment that feels like traveling back in time to the Republic of China.
……
The three of them ate happily, and Wu Feifei thought about Vanke again and couldn't help but ask a question:
"If Boss Wang simply wants to get rid of the problematic Mr. Sun Man and Sun, it should be enough to find the problem of integrity, right?
Why use the ‘Rancho Santa Fe’ project?
I mean, why use Dongchen Advertising’s plan to suppress Heihe Advertising’s plan? ”
Amy Sun blinked her round eyes and seemed a little confused.
Xu Chen: "This is where Boss Wang is so clever and the chicken thief."
Wu Feifei: "How to say?"
Xu Chen: "Getting rid of Sun Man is only secondary. The main thing is to mobilize the power and voice of director Chen Qidong.
If Sun Man is simply eliminated using clean government means, it will only prove that the other party is "bad".
But with the suppression of the 'Rancho Santa Fe' project, not only can it prove that the other party is 'bad', but it can also prove that one's own side is 'good'...
This kind of struggle is all aimed at finally completely crushing and uprooting the opponent.
Of course things have to be done..."
"In addition to the people attending the meeting today, there are also the board of directors watching behind the scenes.
After this incident, the board of directors will find that Chen Qidong not only has integrity problems, but also has problems with his 'business capabilities'.
Even a real estate project promotion case cannot be completed well, and Boss Wang needs to solve it himself...
In comparison, Wang Shi and Yu Liang are both on the good side.
Not only did he help the company eradicate the moths, he also once again proved his strength, ability, and skill.
Boss Wang and Yu Liang can come up with crushing key plans on key projects and key events...
Of course, the key plan this time is our Dongchen Advertising plan. ”
"Zhou Kai said...
Boss Wang has been waiting for a good plan for 'Rancho Santa Fe' for a long time, and also privately found some advertising companies.
The purpose is very clear, which is to find a persuasive plan that can perfectly crush the opponent.
It's just that this plan happened to be given by Dongchen Advertising, so we became part of the game. ”
Wu Feifei: "It seems to make sense...
It not only proves that there is a problem with the opponent's character, but also proves that there is a problem with the opponent's ability.
This will make the board of directors less trusting of Chen Qidong from all levels. ”
Xu Chen: "That's what I mean.
‘Rancho Santa Fe’ is probably just the first step for Boss Wang and Yu Liang, and they will definitely dig out Chen Qidong’s forces bit by bit in the future.
Now that the opponent's ugliness has been exposed and at the same time proven that the opponent is inferior to himself, the subsequent operations are also logical. ”
Wu Feifei: "The world of adults is really complicated..."
Xu Chen: “You can see the whole picture by taking a peek at a corner. That’s how power struggles are.
Take it step by step, and try to do your best every step of the way. ”
Wu Feifei thought for a while: "What did you mean when you said Boss Wang was a 'chicken thief'?"
Xu Chen took a sip of tea:
"If Boss Wang really wants to delegate power and help Yu Liang up...
The plan of Dongchen Advertising should be completely handed over to Yu Liang, so that the board of directors should feel that it was Yu Liang who found Dongchen Advertising and came up with a crushing plan.
But Boss Wang did not do this. In the process, he still showed his control..."
Wu Feifei: "In other words, Yu Liang still wouldn't be able to do it without him.
It can also be seen as a kind of suppression of Yu Liang? ”
Xu Chen nodded:
"So Boss Wang is actually not ready to completely 'decentralize' power, and he still wants to be the emperor."
Wu Feifei shook her head: "These old men are too scary."
Xu Chen: "Your dad knows a lot more about these things than I do..."
Wu Feifei pursed her lips: "He never told me this."
Xu Chen paused:
“In the future, if Yu Liang wants to truly control Vanke, Boss Wang is actually the real big boss.
Either Boss Wang can figure it out on his own and take the initiative to completely delegate power and abdicate.
Or maybe Yu Liang is strong enough to remove Boss Wang from the core of power step by step..."
Wu Feifei and Sun Amy looked at each other, feeling that it was eye-opening and even rewarding.
Wu Feifei glanced at Xu Chen, took a breath and said:
"Why do you feel like you are as unpredictable as those old men?"
"..."
Xu Chen smiled obediently:
"Don't say that, I'm only two months older than you!"
Wu Feifei was stunned: "How do you know what month I am?"
Xu Chen showed a hint of embarrassment:
"Didn't you give me your passport? I sent it to Sister Yue and couldn't help but look at it."
Wu Feifei showed a hint of alertness, as if she was thinking about it, and then said with a smile:
“The photo in my passport looks pretty good, so it’ll be fine!”
Xu Chen: "..."
Amy Sun: "?"
……
After eating, Xu Chen called Gu Xinxin, and they held a conference call to make arrangements for the subsequent work.
The "Rancho Santa Fe" project has been officially finalized, and secretary Zhou Kai will personally help with it later.
With Zhou Kai here, there is no need to worry about anything happening to the project team.
Gu Xinxin will handle procedural matters with Zhou Kai, including contracts, payments, etc.
After Amy Sun received the formal project materials, she began to create advertising materials.
The advertising plan has been completely finalized. According to the plan submitted by Xu Chen, Sun Amy can directly arrange the production and execution...
In this way, this two million project is considered easy.
Amy Sun couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, what about the advertising needs of another group brand?"
Xu Chen thought for a while: "Don't worry about that.
Mr. Yu also said that we can report it when we are ready...
You don't need to worry about the plan for now. I will take the time to do it while you work on the more urgent projects at hand. "Sun Amy: "Okay boss, if you need me to take action, you can just tell me at any time. ”
Wu Feifei pursed her lips: "What about me?"
Xu Chen was speechless. He really had to find something for Miss Wu to do.
“You can follow Xinxin and learn the ‘progress management’ of Vanke projects together.
Even if you don't do advertising in the future, it will still be useful. ”
He thought about it again and said with a smile:
“Of course, if you still have the interest and energy, ‘Burning Ice Sports’ will also be launched, so you can get involved together.”
Wu Feifei: "Okay, okay! Of course I would be happiest if I could do Brother Bing's project!"
……
……
Tuesday at noon.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
As soon as Xu Chen finished his class, he went to a local restaurant on Quyang Road, where he had eaten several times before.
Arriving at an elegant private room, four people were already inside.
In addition to Gu Xinxin and Sun Amy, there was Nie Fei who had just returned from a business trip.
There was also a young man with a fair face, who looked to be in his late twenties, with a smile on his face.
Nie Fei stood up with a smile:
"Let me introduce you, this is our little Mr. Xu.
This is Zhou Junjun, the ‘little vice president’ of Lipeng Shoes Industry. ”
Zhou Junjun walked out of his seat and greeted Xu Chen warmly and politely:
"I have long admired Mr. Xu!
The last time I had a drink with my father, I heard many rumors about Mr. Xu.
When I saw him today, I was really shocked by his talent. ”
Xu Chen was confused. While shaking hands with Zhou Junjun, he turned to look at Nie Fei.
Nie Fei smiled and said: "Vice President Zhou speaks like this, occasionally being literate."
Zhou Junjun laughed twice and enthusiastically let Xu Chen into his seat.
Xu Chen was also a person in the scene, and they soon started chatting warmly.
This "Vice President Zhou" also has a unique personality. He is very "familiar" in nature, rough in detail, cheerful and outgoing, and quite likable.
Xu Chen couldn't help but think to himself that it would be nice to have him in the company.
This kind of "living treasure"-like personality actually makes the company atmosphere a lot more lively.
Xu Chen still "asked" Zhou Junjun for a lot of professional knowledge.
Of course, it mainly involves sports shoe materials and production.
Nie Fei said nothing, just smiled and listened quietly.
She naturally understood that this was also a kind of temptation and judgment by "Little Mr. Xu".
After all, this was the first time he met Zhou Junjun. The subsequent production of "Burning Ice 001" would need to be left to him to control. Xu Chen still had to check the abilities of "Vice President Zhou".
Zhou Junjun was warm and generous, and when he talked about shoes and factories, he seemed to be talking without stopping.
While Xu Chen listened, he couldn't help exchanging glances with Nie Fei and nodded slightly.
This is also the recognition from "Mr. Xiao Xu".
Listening to Zhou Junjun talk about sneakers, Xu Chen still gained something.
He gave everyone a lot of popular knowledge about sports shoes, such as the differences between racing shoes and jogging shoes.
At present, the product positioning of "Ran Bing 001" is still biased towards jogging shoes.
Although Xie Bingran is a short track racing athlete, if "Burning Ice Sports" really makes professional racing shoes, the market size will not be too big.
After all, racing shoes are too professional and have hard soles. Even spike shoes may not be so comfortable for daily wear.
The lightweight "jogging and leisure" category has a wider audience and has the opportunity to expand the market size.
This is consistent with Xu Chen's judgment. After all, lightweight soft elastic soles are also a choice for "daily jogging".
In addition, Xu Chen was thinking about letting Yu Liang and Wang Shi of Vanke stand on the platform. They both ran "daily marathons" and happened to match the "jogging shoes".
……
After finishing the meal, Xu Chen still recognized this "Vice President Zhou" very much.
Understanding shoes and production can solve the control problem on the production side of "Burning Ice Sports".
He has a cheerful and outgoing personality and looks like a living treasure. He can bring some sunshine and positive energy to the company, which is also very popular.
While chatting, I also learned that Zhou Junjun graduated from Xiacheng University, one of the top 985 universities in the country.
Zhou Junjun said carelessly:
"I originally joined a public institution, but it was too boring...
Everyone in my family was engaged in shoe making and business, so I didn’t miss the salary, so I went out to work in the factory with my uncle. ”
The "uncle" Zhou Junjun refers to is the current boss of Lipeng Shoes Industry, named Zhou Wenjie.
After Xu Zhiquan took a stake in Lifeng Shoes, he and Zhou Wenjie became business-bound "partners".
So in a certain sense, Xu Chen and Zhou Junjun can be regarded as "partners".
Zhou Junjun does not receive a salary from "Ran Bing Sports", and all his income comes from Lipeng Shoes.
Of course, the orders from "Ran Bing Sports" all go to Lipeng Shoes, so they are all interested parties in the same boat.
Xu Chen said:
"I haven't had the chance to go to Fujian Province to formally pay a formal visit to President Zhou Zhou."
Zhou Junjun: "You all come to Licheng, I can make arrangements for you at any time!
All entertainment projects can be arranged! ”
He glanced at the two girls Sun Amy and Gu Xinxin again, and gave Xu Chen a mysterious smile of "hehe".
……
After eating, everyone returned to the company first.
conference room.
Gu Xinxin brought some fruits and drinks, and everyone gathered together to talk about things.
Nie Fei synchronized the progress of this week.
The first is about the design company. I have already said hello to Xu Chen before.
The Pearl Cat Design Studio in England has been preliminarily finalized, and a conference call will be held tomorrow night to discuss the specific design requirements.
The budget has not been finalized yet, and the other party still wants to hear the specific needs here first.
But based on Nie Fei's several communications, the other party's price range was already within a reasonable and acceptable range.
Currently, Pearl Cat wants to expand its business in Greater China, so it also attaches great importance to the design order of "Ranbing Sports" and wants to make it a case for them to expand the market in Greater China.
This gave Nie Fei room to negotiate and bargain.
……
Another key development is the midsole material.
Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun visited all the major midsole material suppliers in China last week.
Three candidate suppliers have been selected, all of which can provide the industry-leading "iterated EVA foam cotton" or "TPU foam cotton".
Among them, the one that Nie Fei and Zhou Junjun like the most is a materials company in Suzhou.
The "TPU foam cotton" they cooperated with Harbin Institute of Technology Materials Science is currently the best midsole material solution in China.
Nie Fei:
"I also told Mr. Xu on the phone...
The biggest problem for this company right now is that both Nike and Li Ning are talking to them, and the talks are all exclusive.
Considering the order volume, they will definitely still prefer to cooperate with Nike and Li Ning.
And once they sign an exclusive contract, we are basically out of the game. ”
Xu Chen flipped through a coloring page in his hand:
"This is the company, right?"
The several coloring pages on the table were all brought back by Nie Fei from her business trip.
It is the company introduction documents of several material suppliers.
Xu Chen flipped through the document in his hand and let out a soft "Eh".
