Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 408 Military Quality

Wang Qingguo, who was clueless, suddenly saw Li Weidong appearing in the viewing area, and his position was so forward. He wanted to go over and strike up a conversation several times, but was blocked by various circumstances.

Especially in the last group photo, Li Weidong stood behind the two leaders, and Wang Qingguo stood behind and to the side of Li Weidong, clearly observing the interaction between the leaders and Li Weidong.

And during the visit, he also heard that the leader met with a young man this morning. Within the system, he could be called young and promising at fifty years old, but the only one who could match him was Li Weidong.

The leader came to the base late last night and went to inspect other places at noon. In this short half-day, he had a lot to do, but he still found time to meet with Li Weidong.

People working within the system are very sensitive. Wang Qingguo would not think that when the leader meets Li Weidong, it is just a matter of chatting and drinking tea. This sends a signal.

Putting these things together, he became more determined to try his luck with Li Weidong. Maybe someone's words would be enough to break his leg. Even if it didn't work, he could build a good relationship with Li Weidong. Once he got in touch, there would be another chance.

Oriental Ocean Shipping Company will not only buy 100,000-ton cargo ships. They also need some smaller-tonnage ships. And judging from the current transportation pattern, ships of 50,000-60,000 tons will still be the mainstream of the transportation market.

But he didn't expect to be rejected by Li Weidong neither softly nor hardly as soon as he opened his mouth. He was still a little confused. According to the normal procedure, even if he refused, he would politely say to give it a try or try his best. Even if he didn't do it in the end, others would

He won't say anything either.

He has been in the system to this age and has experienced too many things. Originally, these were small scenes, but now that he is in his current position, he rarely encounters such situations.

Picking up a glass of wine and drinking is also a way to relieve embarrassment, and it is also an opportunity to win sympathy.

Since Li Weidong is willing to talk to him a few more words, it means that his opportunity has come. He has experienced this kind of thing many times and is familiar with it.

It may not be useful to communicate with each other briefly, but the probability of playing the bitter card is higher, especially when pitting the weak against the strong, or the subordinate against the superior, the effect is quite good.

Although Li Weidong is not his leader, Li Weidong may affect the future of their company.

Converting the military to civilians and restructuring are relatively hot topics. This topic has been going around their heads for a long time, and all of this is based on economic interests.

Success is only when there is production capacity and profitability. Everyone should be promoted and make money, so naturally everyone is happy.

If they could capture even one of these two cargo ships, the economic benefits to their company would be huge.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, please stop complaining. No matter how bad you are, the country will take care of you. It's not like we go bankrupt when we say it goes bankrupt, and we go bankrupt when we say it goes bankrupt!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"The country's money is the people's hard-earned money. We can't spend it like this. We also want to serve the people and contribute to the country like Director Li!" Wang Qingguo heard the tone of Li Weidong's words and felt that there was something right. He quickly smiled and complimented.

"Let's do this, Mr. Wang, reorganize your freighter performance and show it to Mr. Ma and Mr. Yan. Explain the situation to them and communicate more. I think they can understand!"

Li Weidong hesitated for a while, but still took the job. The fact that the country chose their factory to undertake aircraft carrier maintenance a few years ago was a recognition of their strength!

Wang Qingguo was very excited after hearing this, with a bright smile on his face. Since Li Weidong said he could understand, he must be able to understand. Unexpectedly, he really succeeded by trying his luck!

"Director Li, thank you so much. Don't worry, as long as you give us a chance, we will do our best to do the best!" Wang Qingguo said excitedly.

As if words could no longer express his emotions, he touched the wine bottle on the table and filled his glass, "Director Li, I won't say anything else, everything is in the wine!"

After I finished speaking, I downed another glass of wine. In the time it took me to say these few words, I had already downed half a kilogram of wine. Maybe I drank in a hurry, so I coughed a few times in succession.

Wang Qingguo thanked him again and again, and finally reluctantly left. Li Weidong had almost finished his meal.

Back in the room, Li Weidong was about to call Ma Chao. As soon as the phone rang, he heard another knock on the door.

Ding Yuan glanced through the innocent peephole, turned back to Li Weidong and said, "It's Colonel Liu!"

Seeing Li Weidong nod, Ding Yuan opened the door!

"Director Li, excuse me!" Then he turned to the people behind him and said, "Bring the things in!"

Li Weidong looked at several people carrying a large box two or three meters long, and wondered, what was going on? Could it be that he was giving a gift?

"Director Li, this is a souvenir we specially prepared for you. Although it is not valuable, it is a little bit of our kindness. Please accept it!" Colonel Liu pointed to the box and said.

Li Weidong was still puzzled. There were no signs on the outside of such a large box, and it had to be carried by four strong men. It seemed quite strenuous. What could it be filled with?

"Hi, I blame me for not making it clear. This is an aircraft carrier model we made at a scale of 1:100. It is made of alloy fiberglass composite material. Only ten pieces were made in the first batch, and they are also numbered!"

"Originally, I wanted to wait for you to get on the plane and send it directly to you on the plane, but the quantity was too small, there were too many people who wanted it, and we couldn't persuade some old comrades, so we just sent it to you in your room first.

Come!" Colonel Liu explained.

"Then I won't be polite, thank you very much!" Li Weidong looked happy. There were ten items in total, and I could give him one. It seemed that people respected him very much, and in order to give him this gift, they did not hesitate to offend some old comrades.

Li Weidong was even more moved.

This should be a limited edition. Even in later generations, the value will not be cheap, and this thing cannot be measured by value. How can there be any price for a limited edition thing?

If you put this thing in an office, it will not only be a prestige, but it will definitely be a rare treasure.

"We should be the ones saying thank you. This little thing is nothing compared to what you did!" Colonel Liu said sincerely. Judging from how many people cried during this morning's ceremony, one of the first people to thank was Li Weidong.

After Colonel Liu said a few words, he heard Li Weidong's cell phone dinging and said in time, "Director Li, you are busy with your work. I will arrange a car to take you to the airport later!"

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you!" Li Weidong was not too polite at this time. In other people's territory, no matter how much money you have, what can you do? You can't spend it, and you can't buy services. You can only rely on other people's cars to pick you up and deliver you.

Li Weidong saw that it was Ma Chao displayed on his phone, so he didn't care. When others said goodbye, he took advantage of the situation and stopped trying to stay. He probably had other tasks!

Li Weidong personally sent him to the stairs and waved goodbye. Ding Yuan usually delivered these tasks on Li Weidong's behalf. Because of this model, Li Weidong became so realistic.

Ma Chao's phone was still ringing, and Ding Yuan held it with no intention of answering it. He waited until Li Weidong finished seeing the person off before handing it to him.

"Hello, Chairman, I'm sorry, I didn't answer the phone just now!" Ma Chao said quickly after hearing the call was connected and it was Li Weidong.

Ma Chao was in a meeting just now, and his cell phone was lying next to him. It rang once, and he didn't answer it while he was talking. After he finished speaking, the phone stopped ringing, and he didn't pay attention, so he continued what he was saying.

.

After a pause, he picked up his phone and looked at the number. He was so frightened that he stood up immediately. It didn't matter if he ignored other calls. He didn't dare to kill Li Weidong's call.

Ma Chao waved his hand, and the conference room where the discussion was originally going fell silent. He picked up his phone and hurried back, but no one answered, and he became more and more anxious.

After checking that the phone was still in the dialing status, Ma Chao signaled Yan Wenshou to continue the meeting, and he walked out of the conference room to the adjacent lounge to make the call.

Ma Chao and Yan Wenshou worked with Li Weidong at almost the same time, and Yan Wenshou's academic qualifications were much higher than Ma Chao's. However, in the end, it was Ma Chao who became the leader, not the highly educated Yan Wenshou.

Li Weidong also considered it at the time. It is said that the scholar's rebellion will not succeed for three years.

Moreover, it was in the early 1990s, an era when those who dared to venture and do something could achieve results. How could someone who was timid seize this opportunity and develop.

Of course, there will also be problems. For example, these people have too many wild ways. In the past few years at the end of the century, various laws and regulations have begun to be improved, causing these reckless men to suffer a lot.

And those highly educated people who are enterprising and well-connected are beginning to come to the fore. They are enterprising, understand the law, and abide by the rules.

Although Oriental Ocean Shipping Company is located on Hong Kong Island, almost all of its business is connected to the mainland, so Li Weidong thought about it and put Ma Chao in charge, with Yan Wenshou assisting.

The vice president named by Li Weidong is different from the other vice presidents, just like Tong Jiajia and Liu Dachun of Anjuke.

This is not only true for transportation companies, but also for many companies under Li Weidong's name. Leaders with low academic qualifications lead employees with high academic qualifications to work, and the results are pretty good. This is what Li Weidong has experienced, otherwise no leader would dare to do this.

But this is not the case in Ma Chao's view. He thinks that Li Weidong gives him a chance and thinks highly of him, so he must work hard.

This is another reason why Li Weidong did this. If a person with a high degree of education is the leader, he will take it for granted, and the incentive effect will naturally be different.

In the past few years, Ma Chao has been working hard and thinks he is doing a good job. The company has completed a quantum leap from the original two small ships to more than 20 freighters now.

Although it cannot compare with some large companies, it still has a certain strength and status. However, if you want to make a qualitative leap, you must increase the number of cargo ships, especially large ships of more than 100,000 tons.

Therefore, he and Yan Wenshou have considered many times and determined that it is necessary to add more cargo ships of more than 100,000 tons. Such a project involving hundreds of millions must be approved by the major shareholder Li Weidong.

Some time ago, Li Weidong signed the project plan and agreed to purchase two freighters of more than 100,000 tons.

The two were so happy that they immediately issued a notice to invite international bids, which immediately attracted many interested shipbuilding companies, especially those from surrounding countries.

In less than a month from the beginning to now, not ten but eight shipbuilding companies have come to visit them, all of whom have expressed strong interest in this project.

Today's meeting was held to advance the project, and Li Weidong's call came in at exactly this time, although it only rang once and then hung up.

Ma Chao didn't know whether Li Weidong made a mistake or for some reason, but he didn't dare to hesitate at all and hurried back. Even if the leader made a mistake, he could still talk to the leader!

After walking to the lounge and closing the door, the phone was finally connected. When he heard Li Weidong's voice, Ma Chao immediately asked respectfully.

"Something happened just now, so I hung up. Are the two freighters you want to order going to be tendered?" Li Weidong explained, and then asked.

He was quite satisfied with Ma Chao. Although he didn't have a high degree of education, he had a flexible mind, a method for doing things, and he was enterprising, and he had done well in the past few years.

For those who are capable of doing things and doing good deeds, a certain amount of respect should be given appropriately. This kind of respect will lead to greater rewards.

"Yes, Chairman, we are currently having a meeting to discuss this matter. There are many companies that want to participate in the bidding. Hyundai Mitsubishi Daewoo has contacted us, and they all have a performance of more than 100,000 tons..."

Ma Chao didn't know why Li Weidong cared about this issue, so he answered honestly. However, he was interrupted by Li Weidong before he finished speaking.

"These companies are all good, but we also have to consider the situation of some domestic companies. They have been engaged in the manufacturing of military products. Some of their performance may be confidential, but we must consider these situations and give them more opportunities. The aircraft carrier can

Do you still need a cargo ship?"

"I'm sorry, Chairman, it was our negligence. We will definitely handle this matter." Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, Ma Chao apologized immediately, at least with a correct attitude.

Then I thought about the companies I had visited recently, and I knew which company Li Weidong was talking about.

"Okay, that's all, work hard on this, strive to make the ocean shipping business bigger and stronger, and become a world-class ocean shipping company as soon as possible!" Li Weidong finally encouraged.

After Ma Chao hung up the phone, he thought about how to deal with it, and then left the lounge and entered the conference room. The participants stopped the discussion when they saw Ma Chao come in.

"Everyone, stop for a moment. Our two freighters will be tendered separately. We will redo the tender documents according to this idea. Thank you for your hard work!" Ma Chao decided directly without discussing with Yan Wenshou.

Although Ma Chao and Yan Wenshou are both designated responsible persons by Li Weidong, the result is that neither one can do anything about the other, which will inevitably lead to some minor conflicts and frictions.

"In this case, the bidding companies must consider the cost issue, and the quotation will inevitably increase, which will be detrimental to us!" Yan Wenshou objected tactfully.

"Also, our performance requirements may be a bit too strict, especially for some domestic companies. They can be appropriately relaxed during the review. They can even make warships, let alone freighters. They are also made with military quality!

"

Ma Chao continued without answering Yan Wenshou. When Yan Wenshou heard what Ma Chao said, he knew the meaning of separate bidding.

He was determined to make one of them for a domestic manufacturer. Based on the way Ma Chao called just now, Yan Wenshou vaguely guessed that this was the boss's intention.

Yan Wenshou sat in his seat with a gloomy expression. Ma Chao should have communicated this matter with him before announcing it. Now he was caught off guard and suffered a hidden loss.

Li Weidong ignored the internal fighting between the two people and started packing his luggage after hanging up the phone. The two children circled the wooden box, wanting to see what big toys were inside.

"Okay, hurry up and pack your things. We are going home. We will unpack them for you to see when we get home!" Liu Jinhui urged the two children to pack the things.

In fact, not only two children were curious, but even Liu Jinhui was curious and wanted to see what this model looked like.
