Chapter 296 Love Rival
Song Yuanchao's words are based on experience. Many things are indeed beyond the control of one's will. Not to mention that now is the early stage of reform and opening up, even in the 21st century, many unclear problems still exist.
In Song Yuanchao's opinion, compared to a factory, talent is the most important thing, and he doesn't want Li Daqi to have any problems because of a Tengfei factory.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to make concessions proactively and use the Tengfei Factory as a bargaining chip to gain some benefits for yourself, while also properly establishing good relationships with the leaders of relevant departments for the future.
What is business? Although the investment in Tengfei Factory is not small, Li Daqi has spent a lot of effort in it since its establishment. But these investments are just some money for Song Yuanchao. Compared with the profits obtained in the past year, what are these invested funds?
Besides, the key to the good performance of Tengfei Factory is the product authorization of Xiangjiang Shenghua Company, because the product authorization makes Tengfei Factory have a popular brand in the market. In addition, there is the export aspect, with an export volume of 6 million US dollars a year, which is what makes others really jealous. But once these two key conditions are gone, what is the difference between Tengfei Factory and other clothing factories?
In Shanghai, there are many garment factories, state-owned and collective, large and small, dozens of them, seven or eight of which are large-scale enterprises. Compared with these enterprises, Tengfei Factory is far inferior in terms of production scale, equipment and status in the industry. It only has the conditions given by Song Yuanchao.
Just hand over the Tengfei Factory to them. They can do whatever they want with the Tengfei Factory in the future. I won't serve them anymore. The best strategy is to get out of the factory directly.
It seems that Li Daqi has suffered a loss, but there is a saying that goes, "Suffering a loss is gaining an advantage, and suffering a loss is a blessing." At present, the scale of Tengfei Factory is not large, so this loss is completely affordable. Besides, hasn't Li Daqi always wanted to get back his original small Western-style house? He can use Tengfei Factory as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the leaders.
Song Yuanchao told Li Daqi that he would have a good talk with the leader in the next few days and tell the leader that he could agree to the change in the nature of the enterprise of Tengfei Factory and accept the adjustment of the leadership team of Tengfei Factory by the superiors, but he had one request, which was to take back the house that was taken away from the Li family. As long as the house could be returned to the Li family, he fully agreed and cooperated with these conditions.
This request was not excessive, because the small western-style house originally belonged to Li Daqi's family. It was a historical mistake that caused the problem. It was completely reasonable to return the house to them now. Moreover, for the current Tengfei Factory, what was a house worth? From this point of view, the chances of success were very high, which was far more reliable than Uncle Li writing materials to appeal everywhere or thinking of other ways.
As for whether Li Daqi stays or leaves after handing over the Tengfei Factory , it is up to him. If he wants to continue staying in the Tengfei Factory, it is not impossible, but Song Yuanchao still recommends that he leave.
Now, the factory buildings in Pengcheng have been completed, the equipment purchased from Hong Kong has also arrived, and the initial trial production started two months ago. The next step is to enter a stage of rapid development.
As a qualified operator, Li Daqi has rich experience in factory management. Pengcheng is currently short of people and more importantly, reliable people. Li Daqi can go to Pengcheng to serve as the factory director (general manager).
Unlike Shanghai, the factory in Pengcheng is Hong Kong-funded, so the impact on its operations is very small. Moreover, as a special economic zone, many policies in Pengcheng are more open and flexible. That is where Li Daqi can show his talents. Compared with the current Tengfei factory, it is more suitable.
Song Yuanchao gave Li Daqi a careful analysis and put forward his own views. After he finished speaking, Li Daqi did not speak for a long time and just smoked in silence.
Li Daqi felt very conflicted. He founded Tengfei Factory himself and watched it grow like his own child, from nothing to something, from small to big.
Now, Li Daqi had to give away the child he had raised all of a sudden. Psychologically, he couldn't get over it. And because he understood Li Daqi's feelings for Tengfei Factory, Song Yuanchao didn't urge Li Daqi to make a decision after he finished speaking, but sat quietly beside him.
After a long time, Li Daqi sighed and said with a lonely look: "Yuan Chao, this is not a trivial matter. Let me think about it... Let me think about it carefully first..."
"This is indeed not a trivial matter, but Daqi, you have to consider it, but as a successful entrepreneur you must also remember the principle of giving up and taking. You can't let your judgment go astray because of emotional factors. Once you use emotions to replace reason, you will never become a true entrepreneur."
Li Daqi hesitated and nodded silently. This was indeed a difficult decision to make, but he also admitted that Song Yuanchao was right. It was very difficult to make a choice, but it was logical, but it was difficult to accept emotionally.
While Song Yuanchao was in Li Daqi's office, the two were discussing the issues of Tengfei Factory, on Maiyang Road, Zhang Yong and Luo Yang were standing on the rooftop smoking.
Early this morning, Li Xiaoyun took Luo Yang to stroll along Xiafei Road, and arrived at Maiyang Road at noon.
When seeing the bustling Maiyang Road and the dazzling array of goods, Luo Yang, who opened his first clothing store in Dashilan, was dumbfounded.
Compared with Dashilan, the goods here are more complete, more fashionable and more concentrated, and the main point of Maiyang Road is clothing. In addition, compared with Yanjing, Shanghai, as a southern city and the largest city in the country, has more prosperous goods and more novel styles. Many new models have been on sale in Shanghai for half a month, but Yanjing and other northern cities are still selling old models. The time difference between the two is about one month.
Entering from Xiafei Road and walking straight ahead, Luo Yang was very interested. Even though he no longer did business in Dazhalan, when he saw the stalls selling clothes one after another, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.
After walking around Maiyang Road for more than half an hour, they felt a little hungry, so Luo Yang suggested that they go find a place to eat nearby. At this time, Li Xiaoyun smiled and told him that there was no need to find a place to eat, as there was a place to eat here, and then took him directly to Zhang Yong's home.
Just as Li Xiaoyun expected, Zhang Yong was at home. He was very happy to see Li Xiaoyun and received them very warmly.
He cooked a few dishes for them himself, and after they finished eating, they chatted in the living room. Zhang Yong was surprised to learn that Luo Yang used to do clothing business in Dashilan. After the two of them talked, they realized that they were the two partners chosen by Song Yuanchao, one from the south and the other from the north. With this relationship, the two had more in common.
In the afternoon, it was too hot outside, so Li Xiaoyun simply stayed at Zhang Yong's side, enjoying the air conditioning and watching TV. The TV was playing a rerun of the cartoon "Flower Fairy". Although Li Xiaoyun was a college student, as a girl she had no resistance to this kind of cartoon and stared at the TV with great interest.
In order to avoid disturbing Li Xiaoyun from watching cartoons, Zhang Yong took the initiative to invite Luo Yang to go upstairs to smoke together.
Just like that, the two of them went straight upstairs to the rooftop, and each of them started smoking a cigarette.
"Do you like her?" Zhang Yong suddenly asked after taking a few puffs of his cigarette.
"What about you?" Luo Yang did not give a direct answer, but asked back.
Their eyes met at this moment, and they saw the answers they wanted in each other's eyes.
"It's not easy to meet someone you like, what do you think?" Zhang Yong said meaningfully.
"It seems that we have the same idea. In this respect, we are on the same side." Luo Yang replied with a smile.
As men, Luo Yang and Zhang Yong noticed something when they first met, but they tacitly maintained their masculine demeanor in front of Li Xiaoyun. Not only did they chat and laugh, but they also seemed to have become friends quickly.
But now that there were no outsiders, the two sharp-edged men began a direct confrontation, communicating in words that they could both understand.
"I agree with this view!" Zhang Yong nodded, with a smile on his face. "You are a good person. If it weren't for this situation, maybe we could become good friends. So I want to advise you that you and Xiaoyun are not suitable for each other."
"We are not suitable, but do you think you and her are suitable?" Luo Yang glanced at Zhang Yong and shook his head, "A great man once said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. I'm afraid it's too early for you to draw this conclusion."
"Early? I don't think so." Zhang Yong flicked the ash from his cigarette with a smile, picked up the cigarette and took a deep puff: "You are not convinced? Yes, it is reasonable to be unconvinced, but the facts are there, and there is nothing you can do if you are not convinced."
"Facts? What facts?" Luo Yang didn't actually want to ask this, but his thoughts made him blurt out.
"It's a very simple truth." Zhang Yong pointed downstairs and said, "Xiaoyun brought you here today. Do you remember what she said when she introduced you?"
Without waiting for Luo Yang to speak, Zhang Yong said , "She told me that you are her classmate and a good friend of Yuan Chao, right? If Xiao Yun was interested in you, she would never introduce you like this. From what I know about Xiao Yun, she could have openly said that you are her boyfriend, but what happened? She just introduced you as a classmate."
"Don't you understand? In her eyes, you are just a classmate, so from this point of view, you and her are not suitable."
"Nonsense!" A trace of anger flashed across Luo Yang's face: "What about you? If you are the one who Xiaoyun is, she didn't say you are her boyfriend! Doesn't this also mean that you and her are not suitable?"
"Wrong!" Zhang Yong waved his cigarette lightly, still with that smile that made Luo Yang want to punch him: "Don't forget how Xiaoyun introduced me to you? She said I was her friend, right?"
"That's right, but she didn't say you are her boyfriend!" Luo Yang gritted his teeth.
"You, you don't understand this logic?" Zhang Yong raised his chin towards Luo Yang and said confidently, "Friend and boyfriend are just one word apart. Compared with boyfriend and classmate, they are much closer. So from this point of view, the relationship between Xiaoyun and I is only one word apart, while your relationship is three words apart. Don't I have an advantage over you?"
This answer made Luo Yang very angry. He didn't expect that Zhang Yong would use such a nitpicking way to explain this kind of problem. It was simply nonsense.
