Chapter 934 Opportunity
This was Zhou Junhao's first time in Shanghai. Before that, he had been working in Hong Kong and Shenzhen. He had been traveling back and forth between those two places for work and life, but had never been to Shanghai.
This time when Zhou Junhao came to Shanghai, he felt a little nervous, but also full of anticipation. When the plane slowly stopped at Shanghai Airport, Zhou Junhao stood up from his seat, clenched his fists, took his carry-on luggage, and got off the plane.
"Ah Hao!"
The person who came to pick up Zhou Junhao was Zhang Jiaming, who is now the general manager of Shenghua Real Estate. Shenghua Building will be completed soon. The next step is the post-construction and interior decoration work. After these are completed, the headquarters of Shenghua Real Estate will move into Shenghua Building. As the general manager of Shenghua Real Estate, Zhang Jiaming will stay in Shanghai for a long time in the future.
"Amin!"
The two haven't seen each other for a long time. Although they both work in Shenghua, one is in real estate and the other in electronics. In addition, their jobs are in different locations and their businesses are not connected. The last time they met was in Hong Kong during the company's annual meeting this year.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a year passed and the two met again in Shanghai. They were very happy with each other.
When they met, Zhang Jiaming enthusiastically wanted to take Zhou Junhao's luggage, but Zhou Junhao waved his hand and said no, the weather was neither cold nor hot, and he would not stay in Shanghai for long, so he did not bring too much luggage, just a small carry-on suitcase.
"Let's go. My car is parked outside." Zhang Jiaming said with a smile, putting his arm around Zhou Junhao's shoulder.
"Thank you , A-Ming. I asked you to come all the way to pick me up."
"Are you brothers? If you are, don't say that." Zhang Jia understood him at a glance: "What is our relationship? We entered the company together and have known each other for so many years. When you come to Shanghai, don't mention that Mr. Song called me. Even if there is no Mr. Song, I have to do my best to be a good host based on our relationship!"
Zhou Junhao was slightly stunned and asked, "Did Director Song call you?"
"Why? You don't know?" Zhang Jiaming asked back. Seeing that Zhou Junhao really didn't know, he smiled and said, "Isn't this normal? You came to Shanghai this time because Director Song asked you to come. Plus, this is your first time in Shanghai, so Director Song called me to make the arrangements."
Zhou Junhao also laughed after hearing this. It was indeed true. The two of them walked out while chatting, and after a while they got into the car driven by Zhang Jiaming.
Zhang Jiaming told Zhou Junhao in the car that Song Yuanchao was waiting for him at home, and that he should go to Song Yuanchao's house first, and then take him to the hotel after meeting Song Yuanchao. This time when they came to Shanghai, they had to have a good reunion, and he, Zhang Jiaming, would treat him to a big dinner tonight.
The car arrived at Song Yuanchao's home an hour later. Looking at the large courtyard and mansion in front of him, Zhou Junhao's heart was a little up and down.
After years of hard work, Zhou Junhao is now considered a wealthy man. His position in Shenghua is not low, and Shenghua pays him a high salary. In addition, Shenghua was listed before, and Zhou Junhao, as a company executive and an old man, made a lot of money from it. However, compared with real rich people, the wealth he possesses is far less.
Zhou Junhao is a very ambitious person. In fact, it is not a bad thing for people to be ambitious. It provides motivation for progress.
After working in Shenghua for a long time, Zhou Junhao gradually had his own ideas. He used to want to compete with Zhang Jiaming, but as time went by and many things changed, Zhou Junhao's ideas gradually changed. Just like now, when Song Yuanchao intended to package and sell Pengcheng Shenghua Electronics Factory, as the general manager of Shenghua Electronics, he felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come.
She rang the doorbell and the servant opened the door. She knew Zhang Jiaming, although she had never seen who Zhou Junhao was. However, Song Yuanchao had told her today that Zhang Jiaming would bring someone over, so she politely invited them in and led the two of them into the house.
"Director Song!"
Song Yuanchao was already waiting for them in the living room. Hearing footsteps, Song Yuanchao put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up, just in time for the two of them to walk in.
"How was it? Did you have a smooth journey?" Song Yuanchao smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Zhou Junhao.
"The flight went smoothly. Thank you Mr. Song for your concern." Zhou Junhao stretched out his hands and shook hands with Song Yuanchao, saying gratefully.
Nodding, Song Chaoyuan asked them to sit down. The servant brought tea, and Song Yuanchao made tea for them personally.
After asking about the work situation in Pengcheng, Zhou Junhao reported to Song Yuanchao very seriously. Song Yuanchao nodded slightly after listening, and was quite satisfied with his work.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Jiaming stood up and said tactfully that he had a meeting at the real estate company and had to leave first and come over after the meeting.
Song Chaoyuan smiled and said that in that case, let's go to the meeting first, and remember to come over immediately after the meeting. This is Zhou Junhao's first time in Shanghai, and everyone should have lunch together at noon today. Zhang Jiaming smiled and nodded in agreement, then said and left.
After Zhang Jiaming left, Song Yuanchao and Zhou Junhao were the only ones left in the living room. Without an outsider around, Song Yuanchao stopped beating around the bush and asked directly about Zhou Junhao.
"Mr. Li, tell me, do you have any ideas about the electronics factory in Pengcheng?" Lighting a cigarette, Song Chaoyuan asked directly.
"Yes, Mr. Song." Zhou Junhao nodded.
"Tell me more specifically. You are an old employee of the company and we have known each other for quite some time. There are no outsiders here today, so just treat it as a chat between old friends and say whatever comes to your mind." Song Yuanchao said to Zhou Junhao.
Zhou Junhao hesitated for a moment and then told Song Yuanchao about his plan. He told Song Yuanchao that he did have ideas about the electronics factory. At present, Shenghua headquarters was willing to sell the electronics factory as a package. He had been the general manager of Shenghua Electronics for many years and was very familiar with the factory.
In this case, it would be better to sell it to Zhou Junhao instead of selling it to others. Firstly, as the general manager of Shenghua Electronics, Zhou Junhao is responsible for the management of Shenghua Electronics Factory and is very familiar with the operation, management and production of the factory. Secondly, Zhou Junhao is an old servant of Shenghua, so selling the factory to him is more suitable for Shenghua product OEM in the future. At least in terms of OEM requirements such as quality control and output, it can definitely meet Shenghua's needs.
Zhou Junhao had made preparations for this matter. He carefully told Song Yuanchao the benefits of Shenghua Electronics if he took over Shenghua Electronics, etc. Song Yuanchao listened carefully and asked him a few questions from time to time. Zhou Junhao, who had made preparations before coming, explained truthfully. From this point of view, his desire to take over Shenghua Electronics was not a whim.
"Ah Hao, you have been working in Shenghua for almost ten years, right?"
"More than ten years." Zhou Junhao replied: "When I joined the company with Ah Ming, there were only Mr. Qin and Sister Hui in the company..."
"Time flies so fast. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye." Song Chaoyuan sighed and glanced at Zhou Junhao: "If you want to take over the electronics factory, it means you will leave Shenghua. You will definitely not be able to continue to serve as the general manager of Shenghua Electronics. In addition to owning Shenghua's shares, you will not be able to continue to hold other specific positions within Shenghua in the future. Have you ever thought about this?"
"I've thought about it..." Zhou Junhao replied. He knew very well what Song Chaoyuan meant. If he took over the electronics factory, it would mean that he would be severing his ties with Shenghua. Apart from owning the unsold shares, he would no longer have any other connection with Shenghua's operations.
After all, Song Chaoyuan would not allow Zhou Junhao to continue to serve as the general manager of Shenghua Electronics, nor would he allow him to continue to retain other positions within Shenghua. This was because it involved the future development of Shenghua and the interests of the company. After taking over the electronics factory, Zhou Junhao had to leave Shenghua. Otherwise, he would hold a position in Shenghua on the one hand, and do Shenghua's OEM business on the other hand, which was inappropriate from a management perspective or other perspectives.
"As you know, the integration of Shenghua has been going on for the past two years. To be frank, the sale of the electronics factory is also part of Shenghua's future strategy. When the integration of Shenghua is completed, the scale and prospects of Shenghua in the future will be far greater than what it is now. I don't know if you have considered this? As the general manager of Shenghua Electronics, if you continue to work in this position, both your future and income will be more secure than if you go out on your own."
Song Chaoyuan tactfully suggested to Zhou Junhao that what he said was not just casual talk, but was indeed the current strategic direction of Shenghua's integration.
As Song Yuanchao has been integrating Shenghua step by step and adjusting Shenghua's overall structure over the past two years, Shenghua has now been moving smoothly in the direction set by Song Yuanchao. In a few years, Shenghua's scale and prospects will definitely be further improved, and by then, Zhou Junhao, as a senior executive of the company, will be able to easily gain considerable benefits from Shenghua's development.
Zhou Junhao didn't say anything for a while, his brows slightly frowned, he picked up the cigarette in front of him and lit it, puffed on half of it, then reached out and put out the unfinished cigarette in the ashtray.
"Mr. Song, I understand what you said, but I still want to try it myself." Raising his head, Zhou Junhao looked at Song Yuanchao with a firm gaze.
"So... it's decided?"
"It's decided!" Zhou Junhao said these three words. After these three words came out, Zhou Junhao felt that his heart suddenly relaxed.
Seeing his expression, Song Yuanchao laughed, stood up and walked to Zhou Junhao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then let's just leave it at that."
"Director Song..." Zhou Junhao suddenly raised his head, his expression was full of surprise, and he was also asking, he hadn't heard, had he? Did Song Chaoyuan just say it was settled? Did it mean that he agreed to his request?
Song Yuanchao smiled and told him that the company could let him buy the electronics factory, but the total amount of funds for the purchase must be in line with the interests of the company, and the company would not compromise on this aspect. However, as an old employee of the company and a loyal follower for many years, Song Chaoyuan could allow Zhou Junhao to pay the purchase funds in installments when buying the electronics factory, which would give Zhou Junhao convenience in raising capital.
Although this is just a small operational change, it is enough for Zhou Junhao to take over the electronics factory with the current funds, which makes Zhou Junhao very excited.
In addition, Song Yuanchao also promised Zhou Junhao that after he took over the electronics factory, Shenghua would initiate the OEM cooperation process with the electronics factory. In this way, Zhou Junhao's factory would become Shenghua's OEM factory in the future, responsible for the OEM of most of Shenghua's current electronic and electrical products.
