Zhou Nan took Dong Qiliang and Sun Xiaolan into the conference center of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation. While greeting the middle-level cadres he was familiar with, he casually found a corner and sat down.
Not long after, a deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee's Organization Department and the chief of the Cadre Section 1 walked in, accompanied by Meng Chunting and Zhao Chunlin.
The result was no surprise. Meng Chunting was appointed party secretary and director of the Municipal Construction Committee, and Zhao Chunlin was appointed party secretary and general manager of the company.
The Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation changed overnight, which had a huge impact on the company's middle-level and above cadres. For ordinary employees, it doesn't matter who is the leader. It can only be discussed privately for two days at most.
.
But it's different for the middle level. As the saying goes, "Emperor and Courtier", will Zhao Chunlin still use the middle-level cadres promoted by Meng Chunting? The answer is actually not complicated. At the very least, he will definitely adjust the positions of some key departments.
.
For example, the finance department, office, supply and marketing department, etc.
The people around him were talking a lot, including Sun Xiaolan and Dong Qiliang next to Zhou Nan, but Zhou Nan was the only one who remained indifferent.
The new official took office three times, but Zhao Chunlin could do whatever he wanted and did other stupid things. He concentrated on working at Lanhai Company and at the same time taking care of his own Feiteng Group, so he couldn't take care of so much. In fact, deep down in Zhou Nan's heart, Lanhai, which he controlled,
The company and Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation are two completely different units, and all his energy has been transferred from here to Lanhai Company.
After the meeting, the company team members, convened by Zhao Chunlin, held a banquet to see off Meng Chunting. Before eating, Zhao Chunlin suddenly glanced at everyone, frowned at the office director Dai Long and said, "Old Dai, Xiao Zhou from Lanhai Company.
What? He is the assistant to the general manager and can be considered a member of the company team. He is seeing Mr. Meng off today, why doesn’t he stay? "
Meng Chunting was talking to Xu Jianguo with her head turned when she suddenly heard Zhao Chunlin mentioning Zhou Nan and turned around suddenly.
Dai Long smiled awkwardly and respectfully, "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhou said that a representative from Lan Hai Company has come, and he must come out to receive him, so let me tell you that I am asking for leave."
Zhao Chunlin said in a deep voice unhappily, "This little Zhou is so outrageous! Mr. Meng was promoted today. This is a major event for the company. How can he not come as a team member to participate? Huh? Hong Kong people are here, let his deputy go
The reception is enough, but he still needs to take action in person, so he can't distinguish the priorities?"
"It's not that Mr. Meng's promotion is a big deal, but that Mr. Zhao takes over..." Dai Long smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still had a respectful look on his face and didn't dare to show it at all. You know, he is Meng Chun.
The office director promoted by Ting was an important confidant to the top leader. Once Meng Chunting left, Zhao Chunlin could find an excuse to replace him. Dai Long was in panic at the moment, how could he dare to show any slightest care?
"Lao Dai, call Xiao Zhou right away and ask him to come over quickly! Mr. Meng values him so much, and Mr. Meng is gone. He doesn't even have this kind of affection!" Zhao Chunlin waved his arms sarcastically.
Meng Chunting frowned secretly, knowing that Zhao Chunlin wanted to use the topic as an excuse.
"Old Zhao, Zhou Nan has been very busy these past two days. Lanhai Company is a listed company, and the situation here is different from ours. It operates in a standardized manner and is in urgent need of a large number of management talents... Lan's Enterprise has deployed a group of middle-level managers.
As soon as we arrived, he must come out to receive him. Haha, big things are important, eating is a trivial matter - okay, let's get started?"
Although Meng Chunting spoke for Zhou Nan like this, Zhao Chunlin couldn't say anything else, but he still cast a cold glance at Dai Long. Dai Long was shocked and quickly got up quietly to call Zhou Nan again.
When Zhou Nan received the call from Dai Long, he was holding a meeting with five middle-level managers sent by Hong Kong Lanshi Enterprises. Hearing that Zhao Chunlin insisted on letting him go back to accompany him for drinks, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He lowered his voice and said, "Director Dai, I'm here
There are a lot of things to do, I’m so busy, why do you have to ask me to go back and have a drink with you?!”
Dai Long smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have no choice. Mr. Zhao has to insist...Mr. Zhou, why don't you give the leader a face? Come and meet him? Just drink a few glasses of wine and then leave. That's fine."
!”
Zhou Nan smiled lightly and said, "Director Dai, I am in a meeting here. Let's talk after I finish the meeting."
Dai Long wanted to say something more, but Zhou Nan had already hung up the phone.
Zhou Nan actually knew very well that Zhao Chunlin did this just to give him a blow. However, Zhou Nan refused to accept this trick. So what about the top leader? He can control the Haidu City Petroleum and Gas Company, but he cannot control the Lanhai Company.
Come.
…
After Meng Chunting left, Zhao Chunlin took office.
It can be said that what a nouveau riche is like, Zhao Chunlin is like that. Suddenly becoming the leader, the desire for power that had been suppressed for seven or eight years expanded almost overnight, reaching an unparalleled height.
In just three months, he did not do any serious work, but he adjusted the cadres twice. The first round was for the company, all the middle-level cadres were dismissed on the spot, and then they were re-employed through competition; the second round was for subordinates to be assigned
Middle-level and above-level leaders of companies and subsidiaries are also removed from their posts on the spot and then competed for replacement.
A group of mid-level cadres in key positions, including Office Director Dai Long, Finance Section Chief Zhao Xia, and Supply and Marketing Section Chief Chen Xing, were reorganized. Some were assigned to tertiary production units, while others were simply demoted to general managers.
.
For a time, the middle-level cadres of the company were in a state of panic.
Zhou Nan was very aware of what was going on at the head office, but he had already made up his mind. No matter how hard Zhao Chunlin tried, he would ignore it. He was no longer just a middle-level cadre of Haidu Petroleum and Gas Corporation, he was also the general manager of Lan Hai Company.
, this is a position appointed by the board of directors of Lanhai Company, Zhao Chunlin cannot touch him.
In addition, Zhou Nan is also a temporary cadre at the municipal construction committee at the section level and deputy director of the Administration Office. Zhao Chunlin is even more powerless in this position.
Besides, Zhou Nan is considering a major matter right now and has no energy to care about Zhao Chunlin's affairs.
Judging from the current situation, the development of Feiteng Group has encountered the first development bottleneck. The market is close to saturation, and the rate of profit growth has gradually slowed down. If this continues, Feiteng Group will of course continue to grow and develop.
Because the accumulation of capital itself is a snowballing process.
But this "snowballing" process will take a relatively long time, and Zhou Nan can't wait that long.
Therefore, Zhou Nan feels that we must break through this development bottleneck as soon as possible to achieve a new round of economic take-off. But to break through this bottleneck, we need an opportunity. In Zhou Nan's view, this opportunity is listing financing. And the shortcut to listing is backdoor listing.
.
But listing on the domestic stock market, even through a backdoor listing, would take a long time. More importantly, he struggled to find a suitable "shell."
By chance, during a phone call with Liu Jie, Zhou Nan accidentally got an important piece of information. Lit Technology Co., Ltd., a Hong Kong company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has been losing money for consecutive years due to the deterioration of the market situation. Its major shareholder -
- A Taiwanese company withdrew its capital halfway, leaving Rite Technology in a very awkward situation. The stock market trend was also gradually declining, and the company was frequently on the verge of bankruptcy.
When Zhou Nan got the news, he immediately asked Zhang Ying and Cui Jing to go through the formalities and go to Hong Kong as part of an inbound tour group. Before the two arrived in Hong Kong, Zhou Nan had called his subordinate Ma Xiaojing, who was still training at Lanshi Enterprise in Hong Kong, to come forward.
, I had a preliminary contact with the people from Rite Technology.
Only then did Ma Xiaojing know that Zhou Nan himself had founded a company, and it had developed so fast and become so big in less than two years!
Huang Yaming, the chairman of Rite Technology, is a native of Hong Kong and was born in Malaysia. It took him ten years from starting a leather bag company to becoming a listed company with assets of nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars. From 1990 to 1995,
Huang Yaming was at the peak of his career, but since the beginning of 1996, his career has gone downhill, and it is even more miserable today.
The market situation deteriorated, management was poor, and the company's important shareholder, Taiwan's Minglan Company, suddenly withdrew its capital midway. Rite Technology was in a precarious position amid internal and external troubles.
Huang Yaming has been discussing cooperation with some local companies in Hong Kong since the beginning of this year, but with the current mess of Rite Technology, no one is willing to invest in it. In desperation, Huang Yaming came up with the idea of selling the company's equity. He was eager to sell the company
Change hands, and then take the cash with you to retire in Malaysia.
At this time, Feiteng Group, a powerful private enterprise group in the mainland, suddenly came to visit. Huang Yaming was naturally overjoyed and quickly started substantive negotiations with Zhang Ying and Cui Jing.
One wanted to change hands, and the other wanted to backdoor and list in Hong Kong. It can be said that they hit it off immediately.
What really needs to be negotiated is not "whether to cooperate", but the price and form of the acquisition or asset restructuring.
Zhang Ying and Cui Jing took the opportunity of a tour group to go to Hong Kong. Their stay in Hong Kong was very short. In just two days, they could not come up with a real result. They just hurriedly signed an agreement of intent to cooperate with Huang Yaming.
The two parties agreed that Huang Yaming would rush to Haidu immediately and continue in-depth discussions with Feiteng Group on specific prices and operational details.
…
Zhang Ying sent a fax to Zhou Nan, listing several requests made by Huang Yaming on behalf of Rite Technology Company for Zhou Nan to review.
Zhou Nan was looking at the materials at his desk when Dong Qiliang knocked on the door again and came in, saying that it was a notice from the head office that a company-wide middle-level cadre meeting would be held at one o'clock in the afternoon, requiring Zhou Nan and Dong Qiliang, Ma Xiaojing and Sun Xiaolan from Lanhai Company to attend.
Zhou Nan was busy and said hastily without raising his head, "Old Dong, you and Xiaolan go. I won't go. I have too many things on my hands. Go ahead."
Dong Qiliang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to say anything and quietly retreated.
