Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 145 Waiting for you to take charge
Xu Zhiquan remains the same as always. No matter what troubles he encounters in business, he will not easily reveal any stress or boredom in front of his son.

But Xu Chen could vaguely feel that today's "intention communication meeting" did not go smoothly.

The meal lasted until around seven o'clock, and the father and son staggered out of the hotel.

It was already dark, and the lights were coming on.

Xu Zhiquan stood on the side of the road and lit a cigarette for himself.

On his wrist, he was still wearing the Citizen watch that Xu Chen gave him, the same model as the richest man’s.

"Son, you have finished your college entrance exam. Do you want to go on a graduation trip? Dad will give you the sponsorship fee!"

Xu Chen: "Okay, but I have to think about where to go."

Xu Zhiquan laughed:

"Okay, tell Dad when you've made up your mind."

Xu Chen: "Dad, what happened to today's communication meeting?"

Xu Zhiquan took a puff of cigarette and said:

“The several companies that participated in this event have finally come to light today.

Including ours, there are a total of four shortlisted companies.

Judging from today's communication meeting, the challenges are still very great...

Overall, our family does have the weakest overall strength, and it is estimated that the final quotation will be the lowest.

The leaders also showed a clear willingness to negotiate with one or two of the companies.

Even for the closed-door meeting in the second half of today, our Dongchen shares did not receive an invitation..."

Xu Zhiquan spoke while smoking, and his tone showed no emotion.

But Xu Chen could guess from one or two sentences that his father and Dongchen Holdings must have been treated with some contempt, or even indifference and indifference at the communication meeting today.

Xu Zhiquan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, then said:

"However, today is only the first round of contact. There will be a second round of formal communication meeting on the 13th...

The 13th is the official date for competitive bidding and competition.

No matter what the result is, you still have to try your best! ”

Xu Chen:

"Dad, I have all the free time now, so we can do it together in the next few days!"

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

“Just waiting for my son to take charge!
Let's go! We have to work overtime tonight. Fang Jun and Director Yang are still waiting at the company!"

……

Twenty minutes later, the black Accord stopped downstairs of Jinfeng Business Building.

After the father and son got off the bus, Xu Zhiquan went to the nearby fruit shop and packed several large boxes of cut fruits and filled two fruit baskets.

Xu Zhiquan called Li Rui and he came down to help carry it up.

8th floor, Dongchen Co., Ltd. office.

The lights in the conference room were on.

Fang Jun and Yang Congxin sat inside, still discussing a pile of information.

Xu Zhiquan walked in with some fruit in his hand, laughing:

"You've worked hard, come and eat some fruit!"

Seeing Xu Zhiquan and others come in, Fang Jun and Yang Congxin quickly stood up.

Yang looked up at Xu Chen again, smiled and said:

"This is Xu Chen, right?"

Xu Zhiquan introduced with a smile:

"Xu Chen, this is Director Yang, Teacher Yang!"

Xu Chen was very polite and bowed to call him "Teacher Yang".

Director Yang was tall and thin, wearing a loose suit and large black-framed glasses.

His cheekbones are high, and perhaps because he is thin, his face is full of wrinkles when he smiles.

Xu Zhiquan: "Xu Chen has finished the college entrance examination, so it's just right for him to come together and help us think about it."

Fang Jun still had that cold and expressionless face, but he couldn't help but speak:

"Teacher Xu, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you to help me with some advice!"

Xu Chen laughed and pushed a box of fruit slices in front of Fang Jun:
"Teacher Fang, eat some fruit!"

In addition to some ready-made fruit slices, Li Rui also helped wash two basins of fruits and vegetables and brought them to the conference room.

While eating, a few people started chatting casually.

Xu Zhiquan brought Fang Jun to today's "intention communication meeting", and Fang Jun gave a general introduction to the situation.

The most important thing is the situation of several other competitors.

It is indeed as Xu Zhiquan said before, among the four shortlisted companies, Dongchen shares do seem to have the weakest overall strength at first glance.

Dongchen Co., Ltd. was able to obtain the "intention qualification" thanks to the relationship with Deputy Mayor Wu Yongming.

……

The first company is Fengrong Commercial.

The real estate developer with Hong Kong capital background was interested in the machinery factory, but in fact he was mainly interested in the land.

With strong financial resources, it has invested in many residential and commercial real estate projects in mainland China in recent years.

Of course, we still don’t know what they are going to do after acquiring the machinery factory. Most likely they are going to get into real estate…

The second company is Xixi Culture and Tourism.

A cultural tourism real estate company with a Zhejiang business background has set its sights on the machinery factory, primarily planning to turn it into a tourism and commercial real estate project.

Judging from the information that has been revealed, there may be plans for amusement parks, creative parks, and comprehensive commercial real estate.

The third company is Changsheng Chemical.

He also took a fancy to the land and factory buildings of the machinery factory and planned to transform it into a chemical plant.

It mainly produces chemical products such as detergents, adhesives, chemical fiber dyes, etc.

The fourth one is Dongchen Co., Ltd.

……

Fang Jun briefly introduced the situations of several companies and then said:

“Among these companies, Fengrong Commercial and Xixi Culture and Tourism should be able to put out the most funds.

They are most likely still in the real estate business, and the city will not sell those two plots of land at a low price. But judging from the feedback from several leaders today, Fengrong Commercial and Changsheng Chemical should be the two companies that are given priority consideration.”

Yang adjusted his black-framed glasses again:

"why?"

Fang Jun explained:
“After today’s public meeting, there was another ‘closed-door communication meeting’ and only these two companies accepted the invitation.

We... don't even have the qualifications to sit in on the class."

Xu Zhiquan added:

“I have also inquired from various sources, and there are still some complicated things behind this.

There are people behind Fengrong Commercial and Changsheng Chemical, and they are still wrestling with each other. "

Yang Congxin: "People standing? Don't we have Wu Yongming leading us behind us?"

Xu Zhiquan shook his head:
"Deputy Mayor Wu Yongming is just helping out and is not standing behind us.

He is a good leader, incorruptible, and he really considers the development of Tiancheng City..."

He paused and then said:

"As for the people behind Fengrong and Changsheng, that's not certain..."

Xu Chen thought about it...

According to my memory of my previous life, Fengrong Commercial finally acquired the machinery factory and eventually started residential and commercial real estate projects.

……

After several discussions, the atmosphere in the room became a little depressing.

Anyone can hear that among the current few companies, Dongchen has the smallest chance of winning.

The company has the smallest overall strength, the smallest amount of capital it can put out, and no one is standing behind it...

Xu Chen pondered for a moment and said:

"What documents are we preparing for the meeting on the 13th?"

Xu Zhiquan glanced at Fang Jun:
"Let Teacher Fang Jun introduce it!"

Fang Jun flipped through the documents on the table and said:

“It was also based on the requirements of the review committee, and then combined with our own situation…

The main sections include acquisition quotations, investment and financing plans, old machinery factory renovation plans, and future production and operation plans.

I am working on the acquisition offer and investment and financing plan.

The renovation of the old factory and future production and operation plans are mainly handled by Teacher Yang.

There is already a relatively complete one, Xu Chen, would you like to check it first?"

After he finished speaking, Yang Cong looked at Xu Chen again, revealing a hint of obvious curiosity.

During the process of making the plan in the past few days, Fang Jun mentioned Xu Chen many times, wanting him to "give advice" and "check it".

But Yang Congxin really couldn't think of what kind of advice a high school student who had just finished the college entrance examination could give...

Fang Jun's trust in Xu Chen naturally came from the process of traveling with him on business trips to participate in competitions.

At that time, facing foreign advertising companies and domestic listed companies, Xu Chen won the pitch almost single-handedly despite being not favored at all.

And there was almost no luck involved in the competition process. Xu Chen's professionalism, ability to predict competition, competition strategies, etc., all opened Fang Jun's eyes.

It was also the trip to Shanghai that gave Fang Jun enough confidence in Xu's company and finally made him willing to join...

The acquisition of a machinery factory is naturally much more complicated than the bidding in Shanghai, and the project itself is not of the same scale.

At today's "intention communication meeting", Fang Jun also clearly felt the pressure and challenges.

But for some reason, she always felt that when Xu Chen appeared, there might be a sense of hope.

In fact, even Fang Jun herself could not understand her inexplicable confidence and trust in Xu Chen.

……

Xu Chen picked up several printed documents scattered on the table and flipped through them casually.

Fang Jun quickly said:

"This one is incomplete. I'll go print another one."

Xu Chen shook his head and said:

“For now, this plan itself may not be that important.

At least... not as important as we thought."

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"Then what's most important?"

As soon as the words fell, several people looked over.

Director Yang in particular had a curious look on his face, wanting to see what "profound ideas" this high school student could express.

Xu Chen: "Decision makers are the most important..."

This is actually nonsense and empty talk.

Yang thought about it again, but then revealed a barely perceptible sense of disappointment.

Fang Jun still looked serious and said:

"How to say?"

Xu Chen thought for a moment and said:

"Based on the current situation, the decision makers are leaning towards Fengrong Commercial and Changsheng Chemical, right?"

Xu Zhiquan nodded:
"Whether it's from today's communication meeting or what I learned later...

Now the review committee basically tends to favor these two companies.

We, Dongchen and Xixi Culture and Tourism, are basically just running along."

Xu Chen nodded:

“So I think we have to take two steps.

The first step is to let decision makers give up these two companies first.

The second step is to let decision makers choose us.”

Yang Congxin: "Give up?!"

Xu Chen: "Yeah, I just gave up. I had to give up."

Yang adjusted his black-framed glasses again:

"How can this be?"
