The Great Era 1994 The Belt Becomes Wider and No Regrets 31, Always Walking on the Road of Rejection Xiong Baizhou visited TCL for the third time and was finally invited into Li Donglai’s office.

Li Donglai is about 40 years old, not very tall, wearing a pair of glasses, and looks very intellectual and elegant.

However, Xiong Baizhou knows that this is just an appearance. Li Donglai once wrote a published book in 2012 called "The Rebirth of the Eagle", which tells the story of how TCL nirvana and soared in his hands. Xiong Baizhou happened to have read it.

, this book describes in great detail how decisive and tenacious a leader Li Donglai is.

After the secretary brought Xiong Baizhou in, she did not leave. Instead, she opened her notebook to take minutes of the meeting.

In a collective economic joint venture like TCL, the general manager's affiliation is still under the jurisdiction of the government department. In order to ensure integrity, a secretary is required to take minutes of the meeting when meeting some visitors.

"I'm sorry, there are meetings in the city government these days, so I haven't been able to spare any time." Li Donglai still politely "lied" when they met for the first time.

"Manager Li is very polite. You are in charge of such a huge group company and I am flattered that you can take the time to meet."

Li Donglai smiled and invited Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang to sit down.

TCL's general manager's office exuded a sense of wealth and splendor. It was the first time Liu Daxiang saw such a gorgeous decoration, and he felt a little dull while sitting on the leather sofa.

"So, Zhou Mei's main business scope is to sell all kinds of electrical appliances on the market?" Li Donglai was the first to ask.

"Yes, Zhoumei Electric Appliances is a home appliance retail chain store. Its main function is to conduct reasonable reclassification and sales of home appliance resources under the guidance of the market," Xiong Baizhou answered seriously.

At this time, Xiong Baizhou is the applicant and Li Donglai is the interviewer.

Li Donglai nodded, looked at the business card and said, "When was Zhoumei Electrical Appliances established?"

"The planning started four months ago and was officially established last month," Xiong Baizhou said.

Xiong Baizhou didn't lie. Indeed, in the four months since his rebirth, he had begun to plan and search for a sustainable business route. Large home appliance chain stores like Gome and Suning had always been his main choices.

However, the company, which had just been established for four months, was not attractive to Li Donglai, although he did not attach great importance to this aspect.

Li Donglai smiled: "The company is still very young at four months old, just like Mr. Xiong."

Faced with this somewhat profound ridicule, Xiong Baizhou could only regard it as a joke and replied with a smile: "Although Zhou Mei is young, her advantage is that she can operate without any burden. She will not worry about anyone pulling back and can achieve the goal wholeheartedly.

Purpose."

Xiong Baizhou's answer also had a hidden meaning. Li Donglai glanced at it, his real thoughts blocked by the thick glasses.

"What is Zhou Mei's operating process like?"

"After the establishment of Zhoumei, we have regarded customer requirements as the first factor, respected the market's resource allocation, met customers' service requirements, and achieved a win-win situation between manufacturers, customers and Zhoumei."

These words sound beautiful, and even put forward the ten-year-old concept of "respecting market allocation". However, for Li Donglai, these are empty words. He is a businessman, and businessmen just need to make profits.

Li Donglai and Guo Xiaosheng are two different types of businessmen. Guo Xiaosheng has achieved financial freedom and the value of life. He often views financial accumulation more reasonably and pays more attention to the creation and promotion of corporate brands.

This can be seen from the construction of Yinxin Building. The investment and output ratio of Yinxin Building is a loss, but Henderson Land is still willing to complete it with quality and quantity, because this is Henderson's business card to enter the mainland.

But Li Donglai is different. TCL's corporate positioning is a joint venture, or a joint venture with the government as the main body. If there are no results, replacement will be a matter of minutes.

"Mr. Xiong, please be more direct, what can Zhoumei Electric bring to TCL?" Li Donglai will not take long detours, and his time is also valuable.

Xiong Baizhou thought to himself that he was indeed a hawk. He coughed and said: "TCL's color TVs are of very good quality and can occupy a large share of the market. Zhoumei Electric..."

Xiong Baizhou talks a lot, but the core cannot get around the "white wolf with empty gloves".

Li Donglai was very shrewd. Xiong Baizhou only said half of what he said before he interrupted: "What do you mean, do you want TCL to hand over the color TV to your store first, and then pay us the money after you sell it?"

Xiong Baizhou explained: "We at Zhoumei are confident that we can operate the color TV market well and ensure that we can bring objective profits to TCL."

Li Donglai glanced at the secretary who was taking notes.

The secretary immediately understood and said: "Mr. Li, there will be a party committee leadership meeting in the factory soon. Please attend on time."

Li Donglai stood up immediately and said, "Sorry, there have been a lot of meetings lately. Let's talk next time if we have the chance."

I still want to get the goods first and then pay, thinking you are a friendship store in Guangdong City!

At this time, Li Donglai had already labeled Xiong Baizhou as a "liar" and a liar with in-depth research on the market.

Xiong Baizhou naturally saw such an obvious eviction order, but he did not give up. He spoke directly before going out: "Manager Li, TCL is currently suffering from internal and external problems. There is a serious backlog of color TV sets in the warehouse, and there are other internal constraints.

, it’s better to go all out and trust us, Zhoumei, Zhoumei’s corporate culture is to share responsibilities.”

Li Donglai was shocked. His first reaction was that there was a whistleblower from within TCL's senior management. However, after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible. If there were other conspiracies, young Xiong Baizhou would not be allowed to come over as a lobbyist. Any leader in the government could just approve a white slip.

Li Donglai was still able to make the decision to "give away" dozens of color TVs.

Even though he had doubts in his heart, Li Donglai still didn't change his mind, and he didn't even change his label of Xiong Baizhou. He was just a liar who saw the problem from a deeper perspective and was more eloquent. There were many such people in the 1990s.

"I have to keep my eyes open from now on, and let liars in to waste my time," Li Donglai scolded the secretary.

The secretary felt wronged and did not dare to say anything to Li Donglai, but directed his anger at the security guard: "What the hell is going on with you? Who was let in without seeing clearly?"

The security guard suffered a terrible disaster and had to vent his anger on Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang.

"What a liar you are at such a young age"

"It doesn't look like that. He looks like a human and is wearing a suit."

"He actually went to pay homage to Li Donglai's wharf. He had to leave by himself. What a bad taste."

······

Amidst the ridicule, Xiong Baizhou led Liu Daxiang out of the TCL gate.

"Brother Xiong, what should we do now?"

"Nothing to do, I'll continue to look for Li Dong tomorrow."

This embarrassing visit and ridicule made Liu Daxiang very frustrated. Although the times are beautiful, they are also very realistic. In the economic system, getting and giving are the eternal exchanges of equal value.

Now, the dignity of Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang is to give, but whether they can "get" it is unknown.

Xiong Baizhou and Liu Daxiang went to the school gate to solve the lunch problem again. In addition to the cheap price, another reason was that there was no other place to eat nearby.

In the afternoon, as soon as Xiong Baizhou arrived in front of TCL, he was greeted by the security guards who made sarcastic remarks. Liu Daxiang couldn't help but want to fight. These security guards were worried that they had nothing to do all day long. They looked like they could have some fun.

One after another, they provoked each other and showed the batons on their waists.

Xiong Baizhou pulled Liu Daxiang aside and said, "Why did you promise me before you came out that you could endure any hardship? Why can't you do it now?"

There were tears in the corners of Liu Daxiang's eyes, but he suppressed them and said, "Brother Xiong, I can endure any hardship, but they are scolding me."

"You have to hold back even the scolding!" Xiong Baizhou said seriously.

Liu Daxiang stopped arguing and nodded silently.

Xiong Baizhou took Liu Daxiang to a location slightly far away from the TCL gate, sat directly on the ground, and looked at the TCL gate quietly.

The truth is in the hands of a few people.

Xiong Baizhou is one of them, because he was reborn and knows the general trend of the economy;

Li Donglai doesn't count it now because he didn't think carefully about what Xiong Baizhou said. When he reacts, he might be counted as one;
Chapter completed!
