Chapter 198: First meeting with Meng Yuanzhi, Zhang Liaoyuan's opportunity! (asking for monthly tickets)
“Knock, knock, knock—!”
Tao Jingwen raised her hand and knocked on the door, knocking three times gently with moderate force, each time with an interval of 0.5 seconds, as if it were muscle memory.
"Enter!"
A deep voice came out.
Tao Jingwen pushed open the door and led Chen Yansen inside.
The office is not very large, and there are not many things furnished in the room, just a desk, a bookshelf, two chairs, and a pot of pine in front of the window.
A man in his fifties was wearing a gray jacket with a slightly raised collar, revealing the delicate lining, which was made of fur.
Chen Yansen thought, no wonder the other party was only wearing a seemingly thin shirt and jacket in this winter.
Others may not be able to observe so much detail, but in Chen Yansen's eyes, Meng Yuanzhi's clothing, facial expressions, and even the movement trajectory of his fingers are all under his control.
Chen Yansen has read many books such as "Body Language Code", "Insight into the Human Heart" and "What Every BODY is Saying", but he got very little information from Meng Yuanzhi.
This means that the other person is hiding his or her true emotions very secretly, and it is difficult for others to understand his or her mental activities through facial expressions, gestures, postures and other information.
At this time, Meng Yuanzhi was also observing Chen Yansen.
He has met many young entrepreneurs, but this is the first time he has met someone as young as Chen Yansen.
Even someone as strong as Shi Yuzhu took five years to make it onto the Forbes rich list.
Chen Yansen caught up with Shi Yuzhu's achievements in 20 years in just one year, leaving behind Lei Yijun, Huang Guangyu, Wang Chuanfu and other big names who had been famous for many years.
"Hello, Mr. Meng."
Chen Yansen smiled slightly and greeted him proactively.
With this big boss's support, the procedures for the Orange Mobile Phone Factory to settle in Luzhou will naturally be greenlit.
"Please sit down." Meng Yuanzhi nodded, motioning him to sit down and chat.
Chen Yansen didn't hesitate and sat down.
Tao Jingwen left the room silently and closed the door gently.
"You are from the state, why do you want to go to Xucheng to study in college?"
Meng Yuanzhi did not talk about the Orange mobile phone factory, nor did he discuss the equity swap with Dongfang. His tone of voice sounded like that of a university counselor.
"I was one point short of the second-tier line and was admitted to Xucheng College. I originally wanted to apply to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but I didn't get in."
Chen Yansen answered seriously.
Even though Meng Yuanzhi was very cunning, he was still amused by his shameless look.
Not to mention that Huazhong University of Science and Technology does not have liberal arts majors, your level is one point away from the admission score of a second-tier university, which is still tens of thousands of points away from the admission score of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Chen Yansen will only have hope if Huazhong University of Science and Technology increases its enrollment to one million.
"If you had been admitted to a university in Luzhou, we might have met last year."
Meng Yuanzhi joked with a smile.
"It's not too late now. Timing is very important. Sometimes, too early or too late is not a good thing."
Chen Yansen shrugged and said helplessly.
Apart from young and beautiful girls, nothing else in college attracted him. He went to school just to give an explanation to Chen Guobin and his mother, whom he had never met.
"Recently, Kuaipao has developed rapidly in Luzhou. The growth of the catering industry has slightly increased in December, but the traffic violation rate of battery vehicles has also increased rapidly."
Meng Yuanzhi spoke slowly, with a more questioning tone in his voice.
"Timeliness is the most important evaluation indicator for a food delivery platform. Kuaipao has taken into account the waiting time at red lights in the 29-minute delivery time it promises to users, and has purchased accident insurance for riders. Kuaipao has corresponding penalty regulations for individual food delivery riders who violate traffic rules."
Chen Yansen replied seriously.
Every delivery rider is his money-printing machine, and he wouldn't want anything to happen to them.
"It would be best if you could understand this. I heard that you pay five social insurances and one housing fund for food delivery riders, couriers, and factory workers. This means you have to pay tens of millions more per month. Don't you feel bad?"
Meng Yuanzhi asked again.
This is also the main reason why he tried his best to promote this cooperation. Once the Orange mobile phone factory goes into production, Luzhou will have an additional 10,000 workers paying social security.
“In fact, I make more.”
Chen Yansen smiled. With their basic salary, it was almost like they had no money. If it weren't for overtime pay, commission and housing subsidy, the monthly labor cost expenditure could be reduced by more than 50%.
"If there were more young people like you in Luzhou, my job would be much easier."
Meng Yuanzhi sighed and couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Yansen smiled and said nothing. He was not fooled by Meng Yuanzhi's flattery.
Just like the negotiation he had just had with Xu Minggang, everyone was doing business and if they wanted something, they had to show sincerity.
Seeing that he didn't respond and just had an expression of "the boss is right", Meng Yuanzhi's expression froze for a moment, and he cursed inwardly as "little fox". Then he continued: "Xucheng's talent pool and transportation convenience are not as good as Luzhou. Why not move Orange Technology and Pinbei Mall to Luzhou? I will help you with the office building. If you want to build an office building yourself, I can also provide you with a piece of commercial or industrial land."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Meng, I have no plans to move yet. After all, I'm still studying in Xuyuan, and it will be inconvenient to manage it when the time comes."
Chen Yansen refused with good reasons.
Meng Yuanzhi looked at Chen Yansen and seeing his firm attitude, he gave up the idea.
To put it bluntly, in addition to agriculture, forestry and coal industries, Xucheng finally produced Chen Yansen. If Meng Yuanzhi dared to pack up Orange Technology and Pinbei and move them to Luzhou.
Even if Xu Zhenhui didn't dare to scold him to his face, he could still scold him to death behind his back.
However, if Chen Yansen agreed, Meng Yuanzhi would not actually care about Xu Zhenhui's opinion. After all, Luzhou has a good reputation and is known as the magnet of Hui'an.
"The land in Luyang District is about 100,000 square meters. It was the former site of Hefei No. 3 Iron and Steel Plant. It was restructured last year and moved to the new plant area. The supporting facilities of water, electricity and network are all ready."
Meng Yuanzhi changed the subject and turned his gaze to the map of Luzhou hanging on the wall.
Chen Yansen followed the other person's line of sight and saw that the factory was next to an overpass and had convenient access to all directions, but it was indeed remote.
The straight-line distance to the city center is 15 kilometers, and the drive takes more than half an hour.
"It looks good. Thank you Mr. Meng for your care."
Chen Yansen expressed his thanks politely.
It doesn’t cost any money anyway, and there’s no cost to saying a few more words of thanks.
"Do you have any other needs?" Meng Yuanzhi asked.
"Interest-free loans, tax incentives, and talent introduction policies, I really need them all."
Chen Yansen replied with a smile.
He would not feel embarrassed if he did not speak up now. After the Orange mobile phone factory went into production, who knows whether Meng Yuanzhi would still care as much as he does now.
This kid dares to speak! Meng Yuanzhi laughed dumbly, but after thinking about it, he replied: "Don't even think about the interest-free loan. At most, we can approve you a low-interest loan of 1 billion, with an interest rate of 2.9%. The corporate income tax rate for the first three years can also be reduced to 15%. There is no problem with talent introduction. You can find Tao Jingwen later, and he will help you with it."
One billion? It’s only enough to buy equipment for five fully automated mobile phone production lines, or twelve semi-automated production lines.
For a 100,000 square meter factory, the equipment purchase cost alone is nearly 3 billion yuan.
Chen Yansen looked at Meng Yuanzhi and seeing that he looked calm, he gave up the idea of bargaining.
The two continued chatting for another half an hour until Meng Yuanzhi intentionally or unintentionally cast his eyes on the door. Chen Yansen immediately understood and stood up to say goodbye.
As soon as he walked out of the office, he saw Tao Jingwen coming towards him.
Afterwards, Tao Jingwen took him back to the previous meeting room.
"Boss, we have already negotiated. We will use 3% of Orange Technology's shares to exchange for 6% of Dongfang's shares. Mr. Zhou from DST has also been informed."
Gao Weilin stood up and walked to Chen Yansen to report.
"Okay, I always trust you in what you do." Chen Yansen patted Lao Gao's shoulder and chuckled.
"Mr. Chen, see you at Luzhou Prefecture at 6pm."
Before leaving, Xu Minggang reminded him again. It was obvious that his previous remarks were not just polite words, but he really wanted to make friends with Chen Yansen.
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Chen Yansen responded with a smile and planned to bring two bottles of good wine to the appointment.
The three parties have agreed to formally sign the contract tomorrow.
Wang Qingsheng was humiliated by Chen Yansen and didn't even say goodbye when he left.
Leave the Central Office and return to the hotel.
Chen Yansen sent Lao Gao out to buy some wine, and he took Mengjie back to the room to rest.
"Hey, the lives of workers are also lives."
Gao Weilin rubbed his waist after sitting for the whole morning, turned around and went out, heading straight for a nearby high-end shopping mall.
When he came back, he had two bottles of Moutai 1980 vintage in his hands.
He knew that most bosses in the mainland did not like to drink whiskey and red wine, but instead had a special liking for white wine.
Rested in the hotel for an afternoon.
It was not until 5:30 in the evening that Chen Yansen took Gao Weilin out to keep the appointment.
The purpose of this meal with Xu Minggang was nothing more than to gain a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted situation in Luzhou.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry about Wang Qingsheng. He is just like that, a dog-brained guy. You have Meng Yuanzhi protecting you, so he won't dare to do anything bad behind your back. At most, he will bark at you."
Xu Ming had just drunk three glasses of wine and cursed with a red face.
It was obvious that he and Wang Qingsheng did not get along well, otherwise he would not have humiliated Wang Qingsheng so openly in front of Chen Yansen.
"Does he have any connections?" Chen Yansen asked.
"A little, but not much. Otherwise, he would have quit in the morning and would not have been able to hold back and wait until the end of the negotiations."
Xu Minggang did not hide anything and whispered a few words, revealing all of Wang Qingsheng's secrets.
After hearing this, Chen Yansen instantly lost his worries.
The two of them clinked glasses and after three rounds of drinks, they went to the bathroom together.
"Mr. Zhang, look across the street, is that Mr. Chen Yansen from Pinbei?"
At this time, in the next box, a young man touched his boss.
Let’s fight?
Hearing this, Zhang Liaoyuan sobered up instantly. He looked carefully and immediately confirmed that his assistant was not mistaken.
In mid-December last year, he used up all his savings and, with the support of several bosses, founded Three Squirrels.
Prepare to focus on online channels!
Now that the boss is right in front of me, how should I go up to him and make friends with him?
Zhang Liaoyuan's mind was working quickly as he watched the two people walk out of the bathroom and were about to return to the box.
He didn't have time to think about it and quickly got up and rushed out!
