Chapter 1505 Public Relations Manager
Director Tan stayed in Beijing for three days, during which time he repeatedly approached Ma Zhaoxian and Li Ye to seek cooperation, expressing surprising persistence and sincerity, but in the end, all of them were politely rejected.
Of course, the two sides did not fall out, because the reasons given by Li Ye for refusal were very sufficient and very real.
[Your Weixian diesel engine belongs to Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck, so reaching a cooperation agreement with you alone does not comply with relevant regulations!]
We certainly trust your character and credibility, Director Tan, but your Weixian Diesel Engine Factory is a state-owned enterprise after all.
Director Tan really has no temper at all.
Because what Ma Zhaoxian said is very "reasonable". Weixian Diesel Engine is a state-owned enterprise belonging to Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck. After we sign a contract with you, what if Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck does not agree?
To put it bluntly, what if we start cooperating with you and then you are transferred away?
Especially things like "transfer" are very normal in the mainland.
The boss made great promises to the workers and asked them to work hard. They toiled like oxen and horses for several years, but when the time came to settle the rewards, he was promoted and transferred away.
When the new boss says "let bygones be bygones", you all have to be grateful, otherwise he will find out about your crime of drinking one more glass of water at work one day.
Who can you go to for justice? Who can you go to for justice?
So it’s useless for Director Tan to say so much. We will only believe you if Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck endorses you.
Director Tan's teeth were licking.
"I've already said you'll win, and now you're asking me to go to Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck? Just because I've got Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck's endorsement, will you be willing to cooperate with me?"
Of course not. With the conditions offered by Jicheng Heavy Duty Truck, there’s no way Li Ye would be willing to cooperate!
. . . . . . . . .
On the third day after Director Tan left, Jicheng Heavy Truck sent someone to Jingnan Group and had a "warm" meeting with Ma Zhaoxian.
The reason why it was called a meeting was because people thought this visit was very "formal" and sent a deputy general manager named Fan Hongqi to lead the team, who acted very arrogantly after the meeting.
Li Ye was a little confused, wondering if the other party was here to visit Jingnan Group or to provide guidance to Jingnan Group.
The reason why we say "enthusiastic" is because the female manager named Jiao who was accompanying us was very enthusiastic when communicating with Ma Zhaoxian, Li Ye and others.
It can be said that if Manager Jiao had not acted as a "glue" during the contact between the two parties, the first day's visit by Jicheng Heavy Truck would have ended in a bad mood.
Because after the group from Jicheng arrived at Jingnan Group, Li Ye also accompanied them to visit the first branch factory, and then they also had lunch in the small canteen of the first branch factory.
But Li Ye was used to entertaining guests in the small cafeteria, but Jicheng's Deputy General Manager Fan was not. From the moment he sat down at the table, he said, "I don't drink." His face wasn't exactly dark, but it certainly wasn't pretty either.
Li Ye's face immediately drooped.
Not to mention that Fan Hongqi is half a level higher than Li Ye and they are not from the same unit. Even Xue Bu and others from the department who came to inspect praised the food in the canteen. Are you still complaining to me?
Are you showing off?
When Manager Jiao saw Li Ye's expression change, he immediately picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Deputy General Manager Li, before I came here, I heard that you were from Qingshui and I am from the provincial capital. Our two families are only forty miles apart, so we are fellow villagers among fellow villagers!
As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes fill with tears. But today, when I saw Mr. Li, I felt only joy and could not shed tears. So, I offer you a drink to apologize."
"No, no, no, you."
Seeing the woman, who was older than him, raising her glass to toast, Li Ye quickly spoke up to stop her. However, before he could finish his sentence, she had already finished the wine and revealed the bottom of the glass.
"I'm just expressing my apologies, Mr. Li, please feel free to do as you please."
Li Ye was a little amused and helpless.
"I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want." If this kind of toast is made between men, it may just be a sign of respect, but if a weak woman does this to a grown man, it is a provocation.
"Haha, actually I can't cry either, so I'll just drink a glass as punishment!"
Li Ye could drink a lot, so he naturally wouldn't mind a glass of wine. However, he had already become wary of Manager Jiao.
In his previous life, Li Ye had heard someone say that if you bring a woman with good communication skills when you go to discuss something, it will be easier for both parties to talk harmoniously. Even if the matter cannot be negotiated, a lot of embarrassment can be avoided during the discussion.
This is just like when you play games with a girl who is not arrogant or pretentious and has high emotional intelligence, then everyone's gaming experience will be improved exponentially.
Even in the 1970s and 1980s when gender differences were more reserved, there was a saying that "work is less tiring when men and women work together."
Therefore, in certain environments, women always have special advantages, especially some male men in their fifties and sixties, who always feel that men should give women some care, thus contributing to this phenomenon.
However, there are very few women who can let go these days, especially those in their teens or early twenties. They are still very resistant to this, and even if they don't resist, they can't let go.
Even though a TV series called "Public Relations Lady" was released in mainland China in 1989, which gave some positive comments on this type of situation, many girls were still unwilling to take advantage of this "advantage".
Therefore, only a woman like Manager Jiao, who is a little older and has experienced the vicissitudes of life, will make the choice that is most beneficial to herself.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. In 1991, a certain Haha in Hangzhou was officially renamed and established. However, it was soon listed as an unqualified product by the Jinling Food Hygiene Administrative Supervision Department, and was ordered to stop sales, and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
At this time, it was a woman in her twenties who stepped forward to turn the tide.
At a time when temporary residence permits had not yet been cancelled, she led people to Beijing to do public relations and finally obtained a life-saving approval document. This was public relations done after the official Jinling issued an official document. The difficulties and inside stories involved were so confusing that it is really hard to describe.
Therefore, Li Ye never looked down on this kind of "advantage". After all, it was a personal choice and it was considered making the best use of it.
Moreover, the world has always had the rule that "existence is reasonable". Even if you, Li Ye, oppose or despise it, it is useless! So just take care of yourself.
This is like the "yoga pants" of decades later. Li Ye has no objection to how others wear them, and even encourages them. But if Li Ye's daughter dares to wear this thing on the street to show off, Li Ye will break her legs directly.
Seeing that Li Ye was drinking happily, Manager Jiao immediately picked up the bottle and filled it up for Li Ye, then raised his glass again.
Li Ye couldn't help but sigh and complained in his heart.
[I knew it, damn, that no woman who gets drunk is easy to deal with.]
