Chapter 136
A meal, a turbulent undercurrent of eating.
Although nothing serious was said, Chen Lanjun could see that Tong Tong's attitude had subtly changed.
After the meal, Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng were sent to the most luxurious hotel in Pengcheng City to rest.
After closing the door of the hotel room, Tong Tong tried the sofa. It was definitely not a hard wooden sofa, but it felt like sitting on a cloud, very comfortable. She knew it was a high-end product as soon as she tried it.
"Sure enough, Sister Lan's business is very big." She sighed, "I haven't seen it before, I thought..."
"What do you think?" Pang Xiaopeng was putting down his gifts and turned to look at her.
Tong Tong curled her lips and said nothing.
Pang Xiaopeng sighed, put his things away, walked to the opposite side of Tong Tong, sat down, and said sincerely, "Tong, you are my good friend. I really don't want to see you arguing with me and Sister Lan."
She had witnessed with her own eyes how Chen Lanjun grew from nothing to become the big boss she is today. It was true that Pang Xiaopeng remembered the kindness, but in addition to that, she also had a sense of awe.
Sister Lan is really a smart person. Although she looks amiable, if you really dare to go against her, you will definitely suffer the consequences.
She also hopes Tong Tong will remember this principle.
After a moment of silence, Tong Tong crossed her arms and said, "I understand what you mean. But right now, I don't want to break the contract."
She really dared not disobey the leader's order.
Pang Xiaopeng also understood and said, "Well, let's talk about it when we meet Sister Lan tomorrow. I believe she will be able to find a solution."
The next day, the same car took the two to Chen Lanjun's house near Pengda University.
It was a new building and a new house. There was a carpet with a special pattern at the entrance. There was a large color TV in the living room. The lighting was extremely beautiful and you could tell at a glance that they were imported goods. But that was not all. What was surprising was that there was an ivory round high table with a telephone on it.
Answering the phone in a private house! Even in this era, it is a rare thing.
"I'm here, please sit down." Chen Lanjun, wearing home clothes, stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Tong Tong sat down on the sofa as she was told. The sofa in Sister Lan's house was even more comfortable than the sofas in big hotels. She didn't know how much it cost.
As the old saying goes, respect the clothes first and then respect the person. Since Chen Lanjun always dressed simply and didn't like to wear gold or jade, she didn't have any obvious feeling. After coming to Pengcheng City, what she saw and heard suppressed her original impression.
Sister Lan is a well-deserved boss.
Her attitude became more respectful and she lowered her head to ask Chen Lanjun for advice.
"Now, the leadership probably has this attitude," Tong Tong said. "I don't mind if it's changed to a contract. But I'm afraid that if they can change this one item today and that one item tomorrow..."
She reached out and held Chen Lanjun's hand, her eyes sincere: "I'm afraid it will affect Sister Lan."
The sudden warmth from her palm made Chen Lanjun dazed for a moment.
Coming back to her senses, she smiled and patted Tong Tong's hand, saying, "Thank you for your concern, but I think that in the short term, the higher authorities will not give any special instructions on the cooperation between Zhengmei Company and the Fourth Food Factory."
Chen Lanjun thought about it for a few days and came to a conclusion on the matter.
The distribution model of the Fourth Food Factory is ultimately an internal affair. We have been accustomed to giving orders before, and it is not a big deal to give another one now.
Zhengmei Company has the characteristics of a Hong Kong-funded enterprise. This cooperation is a combination of mainland enterprises and foreign enterprises. If there is a problem, the overall direction will not be conducive to internal and external cooperation. The leaders are not fools. It is the era of reform and opening up. A few months ago, the top leaders of the central government personally visited the south and left a statement that "reform and opening up are good". Which leader is crazy to do something that is obviously not conducive to the opening-up strategy at this time?
At least not in the near future, unless one day the profits from "sports power" are so huge that the leaders look at them differently, then changes will occur.
What we should really worry about is the issue of profit distribution after the takeover.
Chen Lanjun said to Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng: "We can't take on this matter next year. Have you officially confirmed the announcement?"
The two of them shook their heads like rattles.
Tong Tong, the factory director, had dealt with these officials many times and said directly: "Generally, for such matters, there will be no paper documents that can be kept on file. Most of them are verbal orders."
Without paper, even if things become difficult, it is easier to shirk responsibility.
Chen Lanjun asked: "Then it is under discussion."
"Yes." Pang Xiaopeng said, "They said they wanted to collect opinions again and form an effective distribution plan."
Chen Lanjun held Pang Xiaopeng with one hand and Tong Tong with the other: "Don't worry, even if the distribution system really changes, I will give you the corresponding profits from my side."
This unexpected statement made Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng's eyes widen.
Looking into Chen Lanjun's eyes, Tong Tong even felt a little ashamed. Sister Lan was so kind to them, it would be wrong to have second thoughts.
When Pang Xiaopeng was excited, he told Chen Lanjun what was in his heart: "Actually, I was wondering if I could mobilize the power of the workers to get the superiors to retract this idea."
Chen Lanjun frowned: "This may not be appropriate. We still need the support of relevant departments to do business."
Especially under the current situation in China, if things really turn against each other, the businessmen will definitely be the ones who suffer.
She made her attitude clear: "If we are going to give in, we have to give in gracefully and gain some benefits at the same time."
Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng looked at each other.
Pang Xiaopeng asked cautiously, "What does Sister Lan mean?"
"When a new distribution plan is drawn up, people from the factory must participate and their opinions must be heard," said Chen Lanjun. "Profits can be turned over, but how much can be left as bonuses? The reason is very good. Without bonuses, workers' enthusiasm will be damaged."
She persuaded him earnestly: "In fact, if we are willing to accept it honestly, then the higher authorities actually owe us something. With this apology, we can do some work. For example, in the National Games to be held in our province, can we hang a banner advertisement of "sports power" on the field? Can we give the factory some kind of award to facilitate subsequent publicity..."
If you don't make a fuss and just make such a big concession, there must be some other compensation to make it justifiable, right?
After this conversation, Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng were full of admiration. They began to talk to each other, thinking about how to get the greatest benefit from this crisis.
When it was time to say goodbye, he no longer had the lifeless attitude he had when he arrived, but instead had a look of high morale.
"Don't worry, Sister Lan. We will have a good talk with the other party and try to make all the conditions clear."
"If there is any follow-up situation, we will report to you immediately."
On the train platform, Tong Tong waved goodbye to Pang Xiaopeng, with many Zhengmei Company products stuffed in her backpack.
Chen Lanjun smiled and saw them off.
When I got home, I finally had some peace and quiet, and I threw myself onto the sofa, all my demeanor and domineering aura gone.
Pull the telephone line longer and chat with Shao Qinghe on the phone for a long time.
“…That’s it anyway.”
Shao Qinghe on the other end of the phone must have been smiling: "As expected of you, you can turn any bad thing into a good thing. You must be very tired, right?"
"A little bit," Chen Lanjun turned over and lay on her back, "but it also sounded a wake-up call for me. No matter where you do business, you must have a good relationship with the leaders there."
She opened her eyes and said, "I've finished pretending to be the father, now I have to pretend to be the grandson."
