Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 240: Flattered and Controlled

At noon that day, Guo Liang drove an Audi A4 to the "Chenfeng Technology Park".

He parked his car in the ground parking lot outside the gate, walked to the door and looked at the signs hanging there.

"Dongchen Co., Ltd." and "Chenfeng Technology", I had seen the names of these two companies when I visited the office in Jinfeng Business Building before.

What surprised him was that this was the original location of the state-owned Guangming Machinery Factory.

A few years ago, when Guo Liang first came to Tiancheng to expand channels, he also came to Guangming Factory and set up a stall at the door to sell medicines and health products...

He was still a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that the Guangming Factory was actually taken over by the Xu family and his son.

When Guo Liang thought of another possibility, he was even more surprised.

Could it be that the entire Guangming Factory was acquired by Dongchen Shares owned by the Xu family? !

He shook his head slightly. He still underestimated the strength of "Teacher Xiao Xu's" family...

Guo Liang first met Xu Chen through the advertisement of Huishuang Shenbao. He also learned from Xu Chen's classmates that his family "runs a factory", but he only thought that his family was engaged in township enterprises.

Later, when I visited him at Jinfeng Building, I found out that his family was still working on the nursery project and was even involved in a technology company's business.

Guo Liang has traveled a lot and has a wide range of knowledge. He knows that being able to carry out the seedling project means that Mr. Xu must be no simple person. At least he must have strong connections and relationships in the local area.

Only after coming here today did I realize that I had underestimated the father and son from the Xu family.

To be able to take over a state-owned machinery factory is not something that an ordinary township entrepreneur could do, or it could be as simple as having some local connections and relationships.

In a place like Tiancheng, Mr. Xu Zhiquan is already considered a top figure...

In fact, after getting to know Xu Chen, Guo Liang began to maintain him as a network of contacts.

Although Xu Chen is not very old, Guo Liang has been in society for many years and has a wide range of knowledge. After getting to know Xu Chen, he feels that Xu Chen has a bright future.

He deliberately maintained the relationship and regarded "Mr. Xu" as a future network investment. Including introducing other advertising projects to Xu Chen later, he was also deliberately maintaining the relationship.

I just didn't expect that I still underestimated the other party.

Today, I was invited by the other party to come here for a meal to maintain the relationship.

The advertising project of Fuyanjie was introduced to Xu Chen by Guo Liang.

At that time, Guo Liang collected several advertising projects in the pharmaceutical industry. He never expected that Xu Chen would eventually choose the Fuyanjie project to compete.

What he didn't expect was that Xu Chen, an 18-year-old high school boy, actually won the project.

That's a feminine wash product, it's really unbelievable.

This shows that the professional ability of "Teacher Xiao Xu" is absolutely credible. The fact that he was able to handle the Shenbao advertisement was definitely not just a coincidence or luck.

……

Guo Liang stood at the door for a while and sent a message to Xu Chen.

[Teacher Xiao Xu, I have arrived at the gate of your park! ]

[Mr. Guo, please wait a moment. I will be right out.]

After waiting for a while, Xu Chen came out.

"Mr. Guo, long time no see!"

Xu Chen greeted him politely and the two shook hands.

Guo Liang smiled and said:
"It was only after I came here that I realized this was the former Guangming Machinery Factory."

Xu Chen said casually: "Guangming Factory was acquired by my father's 'Morning Wind Technology', and a part of the factory area has just been renovated."

Guo Liang's guess was confirmed, but he still couldn't help but feel surprised:

"I never thought that Teacher Xu's business would be so big!"

Xu Chen: "It's just right that I'm taking Mr. Guo for a walk. We can have dinner in our cafeteria later."

Guo Liang: "Okay, I'll learn while I'm at it!"

……

As soon as you enter the factory, you will see some local newspapers posted on the bulletin board on the side of the main road.

They are all recent news reports related to "Morning Wind Technology", as well as many photos of Xu Zhiquan and city leaders.

This propaganda column was naturally originally arranged in Guangming Factory, and it also exudes the tone of a state-owned factory at the end of the last century.

The latest newspapers and group photos posted inside were naturally arranged by Wu Yue from the administrative department.

These internal publicity can actually enhance the confidence and sense of honor of the factory workers, so Xu Zhiquan acquiesced.

Guo Liang stared at it for a few seconds, still amazed:
"I haven't been paying attention to local news. If it were not for your factory's opening, I would have sent a flower basket."

……

The two large factories in the north area were renovated and connected.

The production line introduced from Jiangsu Province is being put into the factory, installed and debugged overtime.

Since some large equipment and electrical appliances are involved, the area has been temporarily fenced off for safety reasons, but workers can be seen coming in and out from a distance.

And outside the factory, a large red banner was hung.

[Warm congratulations to Chenfeng Technology for the new production line entering the factory! ]

[Morning Wind Technology has great ambitions and is building a business card for Tiancheng's economy! ]

【Say goodbye to past glory and welcome the glorious future! 】

……

Xu Chen invited Guo Liang over this time, naturally considering recruiting him under his father's command.

Currently, the core team of Morningwind Technology is lacking a leader in the marketing and channel distribution modules.

The original team of Guangming Factory was complete, but the sales team consisted of a few old employees with very poor abilities. They had only been able to build relationships in the towns and villages, and knew basically nothing about marketing, channel distribution, etc.

As the first electric car was about to go into production, it was urgent to build a sales and distribution team.

Overall, Guo Liang is a very suitable candidate.

In fact, in a county town like Tiancheng, it is not easy to find excellent talents with strong comprehensive abilities.

After all, these days outstanding talents still flock to big cities.

Dongchen Co., Ltd. acquired the state-owned Guangming Factory, which means it has taken over a group of outstanding talents in Tiancheng, such as Yang Congxin, Fang Jun and so on.

Guo Liang also worked hard in big cities. He had worked in pharmaceutical sales, channel distribution and other jobs in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places.

A few years ago, due to family reasons, I returned to Tiancheng, Wen Province, and was responsible for distribution in the regional market.

In a sense, it is indeed a waste of Guo Liang's talent to stay in a small place like Tiancheng, but there are no other medium or large enterprises in Tiancheng suitable for him.

So in Xu Chen's opinion, inviting Guo Liang to join Morningwind Technology is a good choice for both parties.

Moreover, we learned from Gu Xinxin that Guo Liang seems to be facing work difficulties caused by the leadership adjustment in that pharmaceutical company.

Everything seems to be just right.

The only obstacle may be Guo Liang’s salary.

As the distribution manager of the pharmaceutical group in the local area, his overall salary is considered very high in Tiancheng, and the current salary system of Morningwind Technology is not sufficient to support it.

Originally, Guangming Factory's employee salaries followed the wage standards of state-owned enterprises, and the fixed salary was actually not very high.

It is impossible for Xu Zhiquan to raise Guo Liang's salary alone, as this would be unfair to other supervisors.

There will definitely be a salary increase in the future, but at the current stage it still needs to be in line with the overall salary situation of the company.

Therefore, in order to attract Guo Liang to join, we still have to paint some big pictures and attract him with the vision of the next few years.

Xu Zhiquan is not a boss who is stingy with his employees, but the promotion and salary increase of employees also need to depend on their actual output and contribution.

In addition, Morningwind Technology is still in the start-up and capital investment stage, so it is impossible to increase the benefits of employees right away. At least it needs to wait until the product is launched and the revenue is stable...

Xu Chen took Guo Liang for a tour around the park, mainly to show him the strength of Morningwind Technology and its future development prospects.

Guo Liang was still full of curiosity and asked some questions.

Xu Chen did not hide anything and gave Guo Liang a brief account of Morningwind Technology's current status and future industrial plans.

After listening to Morningwind Technology's industrial layout, Guo Liang couldn't hide his emotion:
“I can’t believe that in a county town like Tiancheng, a prefecture-level city, there are such visionary companies and bosses.”

Xu Chen smiled and said:
"The city is also very optimistic about us, so it has given us a lot of policy support, even financial support."

Guo Liang nodded:

"The fact that you were able to take over a state-owned factory shows the city's support."

Xu Chen also told Guo Liang about some related situations.

Guo Liang couldn't hide his surprise and said seriously:
"Today really opened my eyes. Mr. Xu really has a chance to become the richest man in Tiancheng!"

……

At noon, Xu Chen brought Guo Liang to the cafeteria in the park.

Originally, the canteen of Guangming Factory was divided into the "big canteen" and the "small canteen".

The "big canteen" is where the workers eat, while the original Guangming Factory supervisors and leaders ate in the "small canteen".

After Xu Zhiquan took over, he felt that the setting up of this "small canteen" was not appropriate and was not conducive to uniting the employees of the entire factory, so he cancelled it.

So now the factory supervisors and leaders also eat in the "big canteen".

Correspondingly, the dining standards of the canteen have also been improved, which undoubtedly won the hearts and minds of the employees and won their praise.

The original "small canteen" is still preserved, but it is only opened to entertain leaders or guests from outside occasionally...

It was lunchtime and there were already quite a few factory workers eating in the cafeteria, queuing up to get their meals in an orderly manner.

Guangming Factory was a state-owned factory after all. It was under semi-militarized management back then, and the employees’ discipline and quality were still very high.

Xu Chen and Guo Liang also queued up for meals.

“The new production line is not in place yet, so there are only about half of the employees in the factory.

As for the employees on the other side, my father has temporarily arranged for them to help out on a few seedling projects..."

Xu Chen also gave a brief explanation of the considerations behind the workers' income.

Guo Liang nodded:

"This arrangement is indeed very appropriate. It helps the workers solve their income difficulties and also solves the problem of labor shortage in your seedling project. No wonder you can get support from the city..."

He looked around at the employees eating in the cafeteria and continued:
"Hundreds of employees have been safely settled down, and Mr. Xu is truly a capable man.

In some places, state-owned factories have been restructured, but there have been too many reports of layoffs and conflicts. "

……

Some employees naturally knew Xu Chen as "the boss's son" and came over to greet him politely.

They didn't know what to call Xu Chen, so they followed Wu Yue and the others and called him "Mr. Xu".

The two found a seat near the window for ventilation.

After eating for a while, Xu Chen didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Guo should have a general understanding of our situation.

It is expected that the first electric vehicle product will enter the production line within one or two months.

My dad still needs a supervisor to coordinate marketing and channel distribution..."

Guo Liang was stunned, as if a little surprised.

He frowned and thought about it, then he suddenly understood.

Guo Liang was speechless for a moment.

He started out as a salesman and has been traveling around for many years, so he has seen all kinds of situations.

But perhaps because it concerned him, Guo Liang didn't know how to react for a moment.

Xu Chen smiled but said nothing more, waiting for Guo Liang's feedback.

Guo Liang paused for a moment, then straightened his face:

"Teacher Xiao Xu thinks so highly of me. I am flattered for a moment..."

Xu Chen smiled and said:
"Mr. Guo, please consider it. I have known you for some time and I think you are quite suitable for this position.

If you are interested, I will introduce you to my dad."

I have already given a general introduction to our company's situation and prospects. Mr. Guo can do some research on his own. There is no need to rush in one or two days."

Guo Liang nodded and said:

“I am actually very optimistic about the prospects of your company.

I just listened to Mr. Xu’s analysis of the trends in the electric vehicle industry, and I very much agree with it.

Mr. Xu was able to take over Guangming Factory and received so much support from the city, which means he already had a foundation and it was not completely created from scratch.

Besides, I also admire Teacher Xiao Xu's ability and knowledge..."

He paused:

“It’s just that I’ve worked in the pharmaceutical industry for so many years, so I’m a little hesitant to change careers all of a sudden.

It really needs some consideration..."

Xu Chen: “It’s okay, Mr. Guo, please think about it seriously.

But you better give me an answer as soon as possible...

My dad is also in a hurry to recruit people and has already started looking for sales and channel line supervisors in the provincial capital. I am afraid that if time is delayed, this position will be taken by someone else. "

Xu Chen's words implied that there would be other candidates on the other side of Morningwind Technology, which naturally put some psychological pressure on Guo Liang.

You can't completely "beg" the other party to come over, but instead give an attitude of "two-way choice".

When people are under psychological pressure when making choices, they are more easily misled and deceived.

Of course, Xu Chen did not actually "induce or bewitch" Guo Liang. The choice he gave Guo Liang was indeed a very good opportunity.

Guo Liang actually knew this well.

However, the matter happened suddenly, and Guo Liang had to give up the connections and resources he had accumulated in the pharmaceutical industry over the past ten or twenty years. He really needed to weigh the pros and cons for a while.

……

After leaving the cafeteria, Xu Chen took Guo Liang for a walk around the park.

Guo Liang received the job application from Morningwind Technology. At this moment, as he walked around the factory, his mentality had obviously changed.

The two walked to the vicinity of the comprehensive building.

There is a two-story building next to it, which was originally a small exhibition hall of Guangming Factory, used to display its "glorious history".

At this moment, the first floor was empty and several workers were busy redecorating it.

Xu Chen explained:
"Do you still remember Teacher Fang Jun? You saw him last time at Jinfeng Building."

Guo Liang thought for a moment and said, "Is it the girl that Mr. Xu interviewed last time?"

Xu Chen: “Fang Jun is now the company’s financial director.

She likes to drink some wine recently...

The first floor here will be turned into a small bar, and Teacher Fang Jun will come over to take care of it. This is also her little hobby. "

Guo Liang smiled and said, "I see."

I was thinking, how could this be possible...

The factory is so big that they can be so willful.

……

Xu Chen took Guo Liang to stroll around the comprehensive building.

I happened to run into Yang Congxin and his technical team having a meeting, so I went in to say hello.

Fang Jun was in Jinfeng Building today. Several kids in the finance office greeted Xu Chen politely when they saw him.

Xu Chen took Guo Liang to sit in the reception room. They brewed a pot of Pu'er tea and drank it leisurely for a while.

"Does Mr. Guo smoke? My dad has some good cigarettes here."

Guo Liang smiled and said:
“I quit smoking.”

He drank a few sips of tea, was silent for a while, and then said:

"Mr. Xu, I have thought it over carefully. I am very interested in the position in your company."

……

Xu Chen laughed and poured Guo Liang half a cup of hot tea:
"Then Mr. Guo, please leave a little later today. My dad has gone to the construction site and will be back soon.

I'll ask you to talk to him later."

……

……

In the evening, Xu Chen walked out of the comprehensive building alone.

Xu Zhiquan has returned to the factory. Xu Chen has introduced Guo Liang to him again and they are currently discussing the details.

It would be more appropriate to let "Mr. Xu" discuss the specific position situation.

As a "boss", Xu Zhiquan still has some personal charm, so Xu Chen has nothing to worry about him "controlling" Guo Liang.

What's more, Guo Liang just happened to encounter some workplace difficulties in his current pharmaceutical company. Since he had expressed his clear wishes to Xu Chen, the matter was almost settled.

His ability to come in now is still very critical to Morning Wind Technology.

Future product sales and channel distribution will require a strong supervisor to take control, and this module is currently missing.

Theoretically speaking, Xu Chen can do it himself.

But "Mr. Xu" still has to go to Shanghai to study, and he just wants to be a quiet "rich second generation" and really doesn't want to work too hard.

Hiding behind the scenes and giving orders remotely is tiring, isn't it?

As I was staggering down from the comprehensive building, my cell phone suddenly rang.

When I picked up the phone, it turned out to be the administrative director Wu Yue calling.

"Mr. Xu, you haven't left yet?"

Xu Chen: "I haven't left yet, what's the matter, Sister Yue?"

Wu Yue: "There is an unused Teana in the factory, and Mr. Xu asked you to drive it first."

Xu Chen laughed: "Okay, thank you Sister Yue!"

After a while, Wu Yue came out of the complex building and handed the car keys to Xu Chen:
"It's in the parking area at the door, a black Teana."

Xu Chen: "Why is there one more car?"

Wu Yue explained:
“It was the car that belonged to the former deputy factory director, Jin Guiyuan. It was relatively new so it was not sold.

Originally, General Xu was paired with Director Yang.

But Director Yang lives in the staff apartment next door and walks to and from get off work every day.

Besides, he had had his driver's license for many years, but he was not driving smoothly, so he returned it.

Mr. Xu said that you will start school in September, so I will give you this car for this month..."

Xu Chen: "I see, thank you Sister Yue!"

Wu Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, why are you being so polite to me?"

……

Xu Chen took the key and walked towards the parking area.

I'm still very happy in my heart. Is this the privilege of "Mr. Xu"?
As I walked into the parking area, I saw a white Audi A3 just parked.

The car door opened and it was Fang Jun who got out.

Fang Jun said expressionlessly:
"You just happened to be here, come and help me carry the wine!"

Xu Chen: “…”
