Chapter 【Chapter】Looking forward
【Chapter 104】Presentation
Although Zhu Mingyang has been in London for so long, he rarely comes to Rover Automobile Company, but he still has a spacious and bright office here. This office can no longer be described as luxurious. It is simply a luxury, even the bathroom equipment is gilded.
Soon, Donald came over. Perhaps because of his excessive brain use, he was bald when he was less than forty years old. His round blue eyes and big hooked nose easily made people associate him with an owl.
Although Donald is very ugly, he is very talented. He is not only famous in the UK but also in the world's automobile industry. The cars he designed mainly pursue artistic romance and high-end comfort, and in addition to some, they also have a conservative color. In addition, Donald is also very stubborn. As long as the design plan he proposed, no changes are allowed. It is precisely because of his conservatism that the cars produced by Rover Automobile Company have not changed in more than ten years, so that the financial situation of Rover Automobile Company has experienced a great crisis, which has attracted the attention of the British royal family and the government.
After Zhu Mingyang acquired Rover Automobile Company, Donald, like most executives, did not think that Zhu Mingyang, a young and inappropriate boss, could lead them out of the predicament, and even once guessed that he would be dismissed. However, what he never expected was that Zhu Mingyang not only did not remove any executive from his position, but also increased their salary.
When Donald saw this situation, his confidence in Zhu Mingyang was even less than that. He believed that Zhu Mingyang, a young man, made some money in the financial market just because of his better luck. Although he was a qualified financial expert, he was not a manager of a company. The boss who could spend money was destined to have little prospects.
Later, the few design drawings he brought with him by Zhu Mingyang shocked Carnell. He never dreamed that this young boss would have such great ability. The design concept proposed was very advanced and completely beyond Donald's imagination.
Especially the launch of the new car this time has surprised Donald. As the saying goes, you are afraid of comparing goods if you don’t know the goods. The cars produced according to Zhu Mingyang’s design concept are not only one level difference compared to those designed by Donald.
The downlink of the new car completely changed Donald's view of Zhu Mingyang. At this time, he even believed that this young new boss was not only a genius car designer, but also a corporate manager, and would definitely lead Rover Automobile out of the predicament. In particular, Zhu Mingyang's naming of the automobile series and the sales method beyond reality completely subverted the traditional concept of the British automobile industry.
Although Donald is just an expert in technology and has some conservative ideas, it does not mean his stupidity. The new car design concept and advanced sales methods proposed by Zhu Mingyang have established his absolute prestige in Rover Automobile Company. Since the young boss has such great ability, he must naturally obey other people's leaders seriously.
"Dear Viscount, I am very happy that you can summon me."
Zhu Mingyang smiled and waved his hand, signaling Donald to sit down and speak: "Mr. Donald, this is not a social occasion. There is no need to call me my title. It is better to call me Mr. Zhu Mingyang. I invite you here today, just have a private chat."
Zhu Mingyang left the desk and asked Donald to sit down on the sofa. Just like all British people, the two started talking about the weather today. Although they were talking nonsense, they could bring their relationship closer.
"Mr. Donald, the main purpose of inviting you to come today is to explore the issues in car design concepts."
"Mr. Zhu Mingyang, your design philosophy is very advanced, especially the four new models you designed, which have set the forefront of the British automobile industry. I admire your design philosophy very much."
"Mr. Donald, you are the top automotive engine design expert in the UK and even the world. If you compare a car with you, then the engine is the heart of this person. No matter how advanced or beautiful the design of the car is, it would be OK if there is no strong heart to match it."
Whatever you see, this is Zhu Mingyang's specialty. Donald is now a very conservative and stubborn person, so he has a characteristic for such people, that is, he likes to listen to flattery words. As long as they feel that their conversations with you are very speculative, they can relax their vigilance.
Zhu Mingyang and Donald were talking like old friends. At this time, Donald not only admired Zhu Mingyang, but also regarded him as a confidant. He originally thought that Zhu Mingyang only had a good idea of car appearance design, but he did not expect that others were very knowledgeable about engine design.
The so-called high technology has also gradually developed through a lot of research and experiments. The results of research and experiments are sometimes separated by a thin layer of window paper. Whoever dares to poke it will go further, and will retreat in front of it. Zhu Mingyang was an automobile enthusiast in his previous life, and he has more than 20 years of knowledge than Donald. It would be strange if he didn't make this guy faint.
"I am basically satisfied with the work of the automotive design department you lead. My philosophy is that nothing in this world is best but only better. If the cars we design always maintain a leading position in the world, we must make bold explorations. I am going to add a million pounds of research to your design department to specialize in the latest car engines. I wonder if Mr. Donald is willing to take responsibility for this job."
"Yes, I'm willing, Mr. Zhu Mingyang, I have to admit that you are a very good boss and are very clear about the development trends of the automobile industry. Since your philosophy is very novel, I also hope to get your help in this regard."
"Of course." Zhu Mingyang smiled with satisfaction and said, "If you can take the previous design information for me, I think I can make more useful suggestions."
Twenty minutes later, the conversation between the two ended. Zhu Mingyang looked at Donald's back and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was a little depressed. The reason for his relief was that he finally convinced Donald to provide Zhu Mingyang with all the design information of Rover Automobile Company. The depression was that he was a big boss of his own company. He had to get something in his company, but he even had to pay such a lot of persuasion.
Not long after, a brown girl in professional clothes walked in with a light step: "Boss, this is the CD that Mr. Donald asked me to hand you. There are all the design information from our Rover Automobile Company. According to the company's regulations, these information are top secret. I hope that the boss can call me in time after reading it."
Zhu Mingyang showed a smile that made the girl's heart palpitations and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady, can you let me know your name and which department you work in?"
The girl smiled very sweet and sunny: "My name is Fanny, and she works in the information confidentiality room."
After a few simple conversations, Fanny readily left her phone number, and then walked out with excitement. The new boss was young and handsome, and very kind to others. Fanny began to look forward to her in her heart...
Zhu Mingyang made all the things of Rover Automobile Company have nothing to do. It was January 4th of the Gregorian New Year. Now the only thing left is Li Zong En to London. The three of them discussed it carefully. In the past year, he also wanted to know Li Zong En's development in Berlin.
Although he had read the fax sent by Li Zongen, it was just some simple data. He still wanted to hear Li Zongen say the specific situation very much, and at the same time he also wanted to hear the two of them's plans for future work...
It was still the same confidential study. Zhu Mingyang, Li Desheng and Li Zongen sat on the sofa and gently sipped the unique taste of the best big red robe. Li Desheng sighed and said, "British black tea is so bad!"
Zhu Mingyang also felt the same way, but he didn't say anything, just nodded. Although Li Zongen hadn't drunk British black tea, he had heard of it. He couldn't help but joke: "Desheng, you are already very good. I don't know yet. Xiaohua brought you a pound of the best big red robe when he arrived in London. My ammunition and food were almost gone, so I wouldn't tell me a little bit!"
"Tsk, I'm not enough? Don't you know that Ke Jin is simply a bandit. When I came here from Hong Kong, I've become his here. I'll take whatever I see, without any mercy!" Li Desheng looked at Zhu Mingyang with a bitter face. That's what he meant, Ke Jin was really not a good deal. It was too troublesome. Did he ask him to leave quickly?
"You!" Zhu Mingyang didn't know Li Desheng's meaning. He didn't even have a big way to deal with Ke Jin himself. Only Xia Mingqi could be afraid, so he could only shrug his shoulders with a wry smile, "Forget it, I will make more for you then! Of course, Zong En won't forget it, you will all have it."
When the two of them saw Zhu Mingyang saying this, they were embarrassed to speak, "I said, "You are too small here! This place is too small! How can I think it is like a country farmhouse!"
"What country farmhouses do you think this is on the European continent, with countless large castle-like palace buildings, and it took me a lot of time to find it..."
Zhu Mingyang did not say that Li Zongen was suggesting that he would not go to his place to see it, but just smiled and said, "I have read your draft work plan in two years, which is quite good."
When the two heard Zhu Mingyang mention the serious matter, they sat upright and the expression on their faces became solemn.
"I said, you guys, you're really relaxing!" Zhu Mingyang smiled slightly, "Just casually, I'm just talking about my suggestions for your two-year plans. Let's talk about it first, Zong Si!"
"Zong En's work plan is overall good, and the general direction is not wrong. We have always invested in companies with potential in the European continent agreed last year in Hong Kong. But I don't know if you have noticed one thing, that is, we focus on the investment directions of machinery, electronics and precision. The situation is different now. This time, in the action to block Soros, we have gained unprecedented results, so we must take a longer-term vision."
Zhu Mingyang paused slightly and then said: "For German civilian products, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, etc., you can also invest in it. If you are interested in it, you must make an acquisition. If you cannot achieve a full acquisition, you must also achieve a safety holding acquisition, so that we will have a great say. Of course, we will not ignore the German automobile industry. Most of the company's personnel like German bridge cars, such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Maybach, Porsche, Volkswagen, Skoda, Opel and other companies, you can invest..."
Li Zongen nodded. He still has a good impression of German cars. Not only in terms of machinery, but also in terms of quality, it is absolutely top-notch, and it is not comparable to Japanese cars.
"I won't say much about the victory work plan, basically according to the established plan. ET Machinery Import and Export Company has successfully acquired it for full capital, and now the British Aircraft Company is the only thing left. This aspect can be left to Bevins for operation! He is a native aristocratic family in the UK, and now the president of Royal Bank, and is fully capable of doing this thing perfectly."
When Zhu Mingyang saw the two nodding, he also showed a satisfied smile on his face: "The team you are leading should follow the previous reward method, and each trader will give a million dollar red envelope. For the personnel they recruit, you can do it yourself, but they can't be disappointed!"
Zhu Mingyang paused slightly: "I think you are still confused now. I let you hide in the dark, but now you have to set up two investment companies in two places?"
Li Desheng and Li Zongen were indeed a little confused about this, but they did not ask, and they were always in their hearts. Now, when Zhu Mingyang mentioned it, he smiled embarrassedly.
Zhu Mingyang smiled and said, "My hidden secret was not the hidden secret in the true sense. There is a saying in China: the small hidden secret among the mountains and rivers, while the big hidden secretly in the worldly cities!"
Hearing Zhu Mingyang say this, the two immediately understood the true meaning, why they were asked to establish their own investment companies at the time, and at the same time they did not let them come forward, but looked for the most loyal and reliable endorsement of the local area to register an investment company. The two were invisible to command afterwards. This made it even more intangible in the true background and the company's real identity, and would not expose the real behind the scenes of Zhu Mingyang, the real behind the scenes of the two companies, and the real behind the scenes of the two companies was Xia Mingqi and Lin Mingqing. Although very few domestic senior officials knew that Zhu Mingyang was the behind-the-scenes boss of Hong Kong Blue Bird Group, there was no way to deal with them. Besides, the only one located in China was Ningcheng Blue Bird Group, which was Zhu Mingyang's industry, except for the automobile city, it was the country.
