Song Ningyuan was sitting casually in the conference room of the Tongshan factory office building. Although he had arrived in a hurry, there was no sign of anxiety on his face. Instead, he looked exceptionally calm.
From time to time, he would whisper to Zheng He, who had come with him to join in the fun. From time to time, he would nod at the local officials of Tongshan who were sitting opposite him.
On the way from Wujing to Tongshan, he had made one phone call after another. After receiving a clear answer, his mood had turned from gloomy to sunny, and he was indescribably satisfied.
Chen Guang, Chen Guang, let's see what you're going to do.
Song Ningyuan crossed his legs, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a comfortable sip. Things had taken a turn for the better. Even the tea in the factory tasted sweeter.
On the other side, Chen Guang walked into the office surrounded by the middle management of the Tongshan factory. He went straight to the main seat, then looked to the side and saw Song Ningyuan and Zheng He looking at him meaningfully.
Chen Guang frowned slightly, rolled his eyes, and pointed at Zheng He. "This is Mr. Song Ningyuan from Tiansong, right?"
The smug look on Song Ningyuan and Zheng He's faces disappeared in an instant, and they were both speechless.
What the hell is going on?
You actually mistook us for each other!
Song Ningyuan suppressed his anger, stood up, and said, "Mr. Chen, you're forgetful. We've met once before. How can you mistake me for someone else? I'm Song Ningyuan, and this is Zheng He, a member of the board of directors of New Radiance Group. Our two companies have close cooperation, so today, we're here to see the Tongshan industrial factory that Tiansong Water Company is about to take over. "
Zheng He said sarcastically, "What? Chen Guang, you've even forgotten your old classmate? Forget it, brother, let's not play dumb with him anymore. Chen Guang, my brother and I are cousins. This Tongshan industrial factory doesn't just belong to Tiansong Water Company. New Radiance Group also has a stake in it. Tongshan is also one of the top industrial bases of New Radiance Group in the country. The large feed factory beside the highway exit was New Ray's pig feed industrial base. Whether as a partner of Tiansong or considering the interests of my New Ray Group, I need to represent the company to come down and take a look at the situation of Tongshan Industrial Factory. "
Chen Guang pretended to be enlightened. "Oh! Oh! I remember now. Sigh, look at my memory. Zheng He, I have a deeper impression of your face, so I accidentally forgot it. But we're not old classmates, we're not in the same class, we're not in the same profession, and we don't have any friendship. Right? "
Then, he suddenly changed the topic. He was still smiling a moment ago, but his face suddenly became serious. He looked at Song Ningyuan coldly. "As for Song Ningyuan, Mr. Song, I don't know why you're here today, but I can tell you clearly that you're not welcome here. I don't care what will happen to Tongshan Industrial in the future, but at least for now, I'm still in charge here. It has nothing to do with you! And you, Zheng He, you have even less to do with me! "
Chen Guang thought to himself as he put on airs. Sure enough, people depended on fate. He, Song Ningyuan, and Zheng He were from the two big families, so their fates were definitely incompatible.
First, he offended Zheng He because of Wenwen, and then he offended Song Ningyuan because of Tang Ying. Now, for the sake of Tongshan Industrial Factory, he'd brought these two groups together.
Well, now that I'm in a different position, I'm no longer the ignorant person I used to be. Even if your Tiansong Water Group and New Ray Group come together, what can you do to me?
I won't give you face today. What can you do?
Not satisfied?
Come and hit me?
Song Ningyuan and Zheng He's expressions changed. They didn't expect Chen Guang's reaction to be so extreme.
In the past, when you were barefooted, you were not afraid of wearing shoes. You liked to be unreasonable. Fine, we thought that you didn't understand the situation. But now, you are a big shot. Show some of your magnanimity!
Tongshan City's local government's second-in-command saw that the situation wasn't looking good and quickly tried to smooth things over. "Chief Chen, here's the thing. Previously, when Boss Xia was managing Xiaguang Environmental Protection, it was really difficult for Tongshan Industrial Factory to meet the standards. We saw that Xiaguang Environmental Protection was hopeless, so we held a national competition for the management unit of Tongshan Industrial Factory in advance. After a comprehensive selection by a team of experts, Tiansong Water Group won the bid. We've already reported the results to the Provincial Department, and the Ministry has also approved it. In addition, New Ray Group is indeed a big taxpayer in Tongshan City. It's a great help to our local development. We also have the responsibility and obligation to provide a good and stable production and operating environment for New Ray Group. "
"So?" Chen Guang responded with an 'oh'.
As soon as this guy spoke, Chen Guang understood. No wonder Song Ningyuan wanted to come and this second-in-command followed him. He was clearly on Song Ningyuan and Zheng He's side.
Thinking of this, Chen Guang quietly turned his gaze to Deputy Chief Pang, who had been hiding in the corner pretending to be offline. This chubby guy gave Chen Guang a fleeting look, but he didn't dare to look directly at him.
Sure enough, he also understood.
Where there were people, there would be underworld. At least in Tongshan City, Tiansong Water Group was very well-managed. There were many of his own people, so it was no wonder that Song Ningyuan still refused to give up.
But, so what?
Chen Guang said, "I'm a dragon crossing the river, and I'm a local snake.
Besides, it's a competition of connections.
Who doesn't have connections?
I'm also a native of Da Chuan Province, so it's not like I can't find people, okay? "
On the other side, Song Ningyuan saw that his people were in control of the situation, so he got up and said with a smile, "Chen Guang, I'll be frank. Today, I'm here for the operation rights of Tongshan Industrial Plant. Our previous bidding was in line with the three principles of fairness, fairness, and public supervision from all walks of life. Our Tiansong Water Group's technical and economic strength is the only one in the country that can perfectly solve the Tongshan Industrial Plant's long-standing problem. Although I don't know what means you used to pass the inspection the day before yesterday, Xiaguang Environmental Protection's operating period will still expire in four months. Now, Xiaguang Environmental Protection and my Tiansong Water Group have two choices in front of us. Either we wait for Xiaguang Environmental Protection's last four months of operating rights to smoothly hand over, or I'll make the decision and represent Tiansong Water Group to provide appropriate compensation to your company, and we'll complete the handover procedures ahead of time. "
"Chen Guang, we did have some personal grudges before, but I think we should put aside such meaningless personal feelings in the business world. I came with sincerity, and my compensation proposal can also reduce your losses. I don't need to pay tens of millions for nothing, but I'm also responsible for Tongshan City, and I hope to solve the Tongshan Industrial Plant's cancerous problem as soon as possible. "
Chen Guang pretended to have just understood. "I see. Then, don't I have to thank you?"
Song Ningyuan grinned. "I don't dare to thank you. It's just business, after all. But without my compensation proposal, you'd still have nothing after four months. "
The second-in-command of Tongshan also tried to persuade him. "Chief Chen, Mr. Song is right. We also know that there's something fishy about you taking over Xiaguang Environmental Protection, so we came up with this proposal after a last-minute discussion. It's also for your consideration, Chief Chen. "
Chen Guang looked at Song Ningyuan with a burning gaze, then looked at Xie Yue, who was standing behind him. "Previously, this Manager Xie behind you offered me 50 million, but I rejected it."
Song Ningyuan saw that he had relented, and thought that he had been moved. He was secretly delighted. "After all, it's only four months. Although 50 million is not considered low, I can personally make the decision. We can discuss this further. I guarantee that my company's evaluation department will do their best to find a figure that will satisfy you, okay?"
Chen Guang grinned at him and held up two fingers.
Song Ningyuan thought he was going to add 20 million. "70 million?"
Chen Guang shook his head.
Song Ningyuan sucked in a cold breath. "Don't tell me you want 200 million?"
Chen Guang continued to shake his head.
"What do you mean? Two billion? Don't joke around! "
Chen Guang grinned. "I mean, you're very stupid! If I wanted to sell, I would have discussed the transfer fee with you when that Manager Xie of yours came. Do you need to go through all this trouble now? "
Song Ningyuan's face turned green and white, cursing in his heart. He felt like a scholar meeting a soldier, unable to reason with him. He hated this kind of idiot the most when doing business.
Are you crazy?
Can't you talk it out properly?
Zheng He slammed the table. "Chen Guang! What right do you have to scold me? "
Chen Guang turned to look at him. "The table in front of you is made of gold-threaded nanmu. I bought it for more than 7 million, and now it's cracked. Do as you see fit."
Zheng He said anxiously, "Which eye of yours saw it crack?!"
Chen Guang was expressionless. "You're the young master of New Light. Don't you understand this? The value of a real luxury item will plummet even if it's just a crack. Just wait for my lawyer's letter. "
Song Ningyuan interrupted him. "We're here to talk to you about Tongshan Industrial Plant today, not about the table!"
Chen Guang looked back at Song Ningyuan with a puzzled expression. "Strange. Was what I said just now not clear enough? Or did you not understand? Or are you really stupid? "
Song Ningyuan suppressed his anger. "Chen Guang, business is business. Why are you looking for trouble? To tell you the truth, I'm determined to get Tongshan Industrial Plant! "
"Really? Then I won't give up an inch. "
Song Ningyuan's mouth twitched. "I know what you're thinking. You think you can renegotiate the operating period by getting Lu Chemical to invest in the reconstruction? Stop dreaming! The deduction of Xiaguang Environmental Protection's term was done in accordance with the law and regulations. Xiaguang Environmental Protection has been completely eliminated. Even if you get Lu Chemical, it's useless! Do you think the bidding is a joke? You want to renegotiate? "
The second-in-command of Tongshan also coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Song is right. Even if it's rebuilt, Xiaguang Environmental Protection doesn't have the right to operate it. Unless you form a new company and change the main operator. But in this case, we have already completed the bidding for BOT operation. Tiansong Water Group won the bid. This is a sure thing. "
Chen Guang watched the two of them sing and cooperate with each other. They even blocked his way out. Sure enough, they came prepared.
In fact, he also had a headache.
Although Song Ningyuan and the local official's words were unpleasant to hear, they did stand on the right side.
Now that the public opinion had exploded, although he had turned things around twice and barely stabilized the situation, Tongshan Industrial Plant was still inevitably in the eyes of the people of the country. He couldn't risk the world's condemnation to engage in under-the-table operations.
No matter how hateful Song Ningyuan and Tiansong Water Group were, there was no denying that they did have a way in the water treatment industry. They were worthy of being the strongest leader in the country and had a great influence in the industry.
"Chen Guang, I'll say something you don't want to hear. Even if you really rebuild Tongshan Plant with the Lu Corporation, do you really think it's so easy to maintain a profit while operating up to the standard? I think you should be very clear about how difficult it is to treat the water in Tongshan Plant in the past few days. It's not that I, Song Ningyuan, want to brag, but looking at the whole country, I really don't think any company has the confidence to say that they can definitely operate stably and meet the standard! As for adding medicine, we don't need to beat around the bush. We have to add medicine every few days. The cost of adding medicine is millions, and the cost of discharging mud is millions. This is a bottomless pit that can't be filled! Chen Guang, you have to think twice! "
Song Ningyuan continued to pursue the victory.
On the other side, the second-in-command of Tongshan also stood up and spoke, "Mr. Chen, we all know about what happened a few days ago. Before I came here, I also talked to a few nearby solid waste treatment stations and landfills. Just like the chemical sludge you used before, their capacity is completely saturated. It really isn't a long-term solution in the future. "
"Chen Guang, I'll be so bold as to make a decision again. Eighty million! I can't go any higher! Transfer it now, and the transfer fee is eighty million! How about it? Just treat it as me paying for you for free! "
Although Song Ningyuan was annoying, he was also a talent. He was well-versed in the art of negotiation. He felt that he had finally pulled Chen Guang into the mindset of a normal person. He finally had the upper hand in the negotiation, and he increased the price appropriately to further hammer Chen Guang's bottom line.
Zheng He had been watching the show from the side from the beginning to the end. He also interrupted at the right time, "Chen Guang, a wise man submits to circumstances. Giving others convenience is also giving yourself convenience. Take a step back and the world will be wide open. Let's not talk about anything else. You've seen the Tongshan River below. As a person, you can't go against your conscience. You have to be responsible for ordinary people!"
Actually, Zheng He didn't understand the sense of responsibility of a commoner. He just knew in his heart that Chen Guangzuo would be at a disadvantage, and so would Chen Guangzuo. In any case, seeing Chen Guangzuo at a disadvantage made him feel good.
Aren't your fists hard? Aren't your connections strong?
But you claim to be a good person!
As long as you claim to be a good person, you won't be able to get over the hurdle in your heart. Sooner or later, you'll have to admit defeat!
I came here today to follow my cousin and watch you admit defeat in front of everyone, to wash away your shame!
Song Ningyuan coughed lightly, indicating for Zheng He to restrain himself.
Chen Guang turned to look at him, his heart burning with anger.
What are you guys doing?
What are you guys doing?
Coming here to act cool?
All of you are echoing each other. White faces, black faces, flowery faces, red faces, all of you are here. Are you acting in a play or singing a Beijing opera?
If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you guys really think I'm a big white cat?
