Chapter 453: Success is not enough and failure is more than enough
"Can't you wait until you finish your meal?" Su Cheng smiled a little out of his mind, not very consistent with his current identity.
Su Zhenguo's secretary was in his thirties, calm and humorous, and said bluntly: "The old man also has a meal, so let's go and eat it."
"Is the old man alone?" Su Cheng still had no intention of leaving. He was summoned by Su Zhenguo at this time, and no matter how he thought about it, it was all about the oil pipeline. He had refused to return to his family. He thought that Su Zhenguo had thought of some new tricks, otherwise he would not have summoned him rashly.
The secretary hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not alone."
"several?"
The secretary said helplessly: "You saw it in the past."
He had never encountered someone like Su Cheng. In the past, no matter who was summoned by Mr. Su, even if he didn't bow down on the spot, his legs should be more neat.
Su Cheng looked unhappy, signaled Shu Lan to order food, and asked himself: "Is it from the Su family?"
"I don't know much about this."
"Then wait."
etc……
etc!
Let Mr. Su wait?
The secretary froze for a moment and said reluctantly: "Dr. Su, I'll agree to meet you if you have something to do. Mr. Su's schedule is very full."
"If you're too busy, maybe it's good to have a few days or make another appointment."
Su Cheng's words made the secretary speechless. If he put such a refusal on others, he would be furious. Even if he was not angry, he would not be able to do so. Isn't this a shame for Mr. Su?
However, it is difficult for honest officials to make up for family affairs. Once family issues are involved, the secretary will only be alert to avoid getting involved, and will not bring himself in.
"Then I have to repay the truth." The secretary couldn't drag Su Cheng up.
Su Cheng nodded slightly, said "um", and seemed to focus on the menu.
Seeing him behave like this, the secretary had no choice but to go upstairs.
Shu Lan looked at the door and whispered: "Is this OK?"
"Just show your attitude, and look at the old man's attitude."
"Um?"
"If the old man has something to say, then send the secretary to come down. If the Su family has something to say, then send the Su family who wants to talk to him. If no one is sent, it means that things are not easy to talk about. If it is really not easy to talk about, then the old man will probably come down by himself." Su Cheng curled his lips and said, "You must always distinguish between people and things."
Shu Lan was stunned when she heard this and said, "It's so complicated."
"A petroleum pipeline requires billions of investment, and I don't know who will pay for it. If we include the bidding funds for the oil field, it will be even more. So, it's better not to see the old man before the eight characters. So, do you understand a little?"
Shu Lan said in surprise: "If Mr. Su wants to meet, he has to come down in person?"
"The old man came down in person and it means that things are really troublesome, and maybe it's quite urgent. In this way, we have to reconsider whether to participate in the oil bidding." No matter which country or international oil pipeline is a matter of discussion at the top. Since Sucheng cannot directly obtain details of the high-level meetings and decisions, it must make a judgment based on the performance and actions of others.
Shu Lan nodded with a slight understanding. She didn't like the political world of intrigue, but her pure factory made her feel comfortable. Now, she is studying at Jiaotong University for a short period of time, which is also product quality management. She is almost close to the front line of production.
Su Cheng smiled and continued to open the menu, saying, "It's time to order food. No matter who comes down, we have to have a meal, right?"
"Don't order too much." Shu Lan pouted. When eating outside, there would be leftovers from time to time. Because Su Cheng was very busy, even if he packed the unfinished dishes back, he would often have no time to eat them, which always made her feel very wasteful.
Su Cheng was much more excited. He waved his hand and ordered the traditional cooked pork and green pepper shredded pork to serve rice, and then he pointed to the back of the menu and asked, "Your shrimps are wild."
The waiter laughed: "Look at what you said, where are shrimps grown?"
"How big is it? Is there a slap?"
"Look at what you said, we are not embarrassed to sell a prawn that is as small as a slap, one and a half." The waiter stretched out his palm and gestured twice.
"Okay, okay, come a plate." Su Cheng doesn't have time to eat in a big restaurant every day, and he was drooling at this time. Looking at the price, a plate of prawns costs 20 yuan, which is less than one-tenth of the salary of an ordinary worker, and it is not expensive in proportion.
The waiter asked while recording: "What kind of practice do you like?"
“How to do it normally?”
"Most customers like our chef marinated or fryed with a layer of frosted meat powder, which tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside..."
Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's better to have the original flavor, steam or something else."
"Okay." The waiter used notes on the notebook. Chinese people in the 1990s, whether it was official banquets or wedding banquets, paid attention to heavy oil and heavy taste. Even in coastal areas, the light taste was not popular, at least not mainstream.
After ordering three dishes, Su Cheng was still unsatisfied and rubbed his hands to continue asking: "Does there be crabs?"
"Of course...we have shuttle crabs, orchid crabs, treasure crabs..."
"Please choose the biggest one." Su Cheng said quickly: "Cook quickly and serve the dishes quickly."
Shu Lan patted his arm with a funny look and said, "So much order again, don't eat in the morning?"
"have eaten."
"That handful of shrimp or crabs will be removed, it's too wasteful." Shu Lan stopped the waiter.
"Don't, eat one less. If you want to eat it again, it won't be so cheap." Su Cheng thought to himself: If you put it in 10 years, look at it. If you want to find a whole plate, it's so difficult to find a prawn with a slap on the palm and a half.
This top-notch prawn, which was the early 1990s, when fishermen started to fish in large quantities, only hotels with higher bids had the cost of screening, and they could get all the prawns playing basketball, and they didn't think it was rare. In the future, the prawns raised usually did not reach the length of their palms. Because shrimps that exceed this size will grow sharply, and farmers who do not want to lose money can only fish them out and sell them. The prawns caught in the sea will grow larger. However, with the extinction fishing ability of Chinese fishermen, the production on China's coastal areas is really not enough. In addition to the competition from foreign diners, the number of restaurants in China that can supply wild large prawns for a long time is always limited. With the intensification of pollution in the Shanghai area, there is not much time to eat prawns on their stomachs.
The waiter also realized that the guest in front of him was a foodie, so he asked mysteriously: "Actually, the game we have made in our store is also good?"
"Um?"
"Have you ever eaten braised pangolin? The skin on the outside is crispy, the meat inside is soft, and it is a big tonic!"
Su Cheng licked his lips, then looked at Shu Lan, and said regretfully: "Forget it, wait until they finish eating the pangolins in China, and then talk about the pangolins in abroad when they come."
"When I was young, pangolins were common in the mountains, and there were quite a few. It was probably not easy to finish eating them. Haha." A low laugh came from outside the elegant seat.
Then, a man with big ears bowed in, smiled at Su Cheng and Shu Lan, and then said to the waiter: "You go."
The waiter left the half-pack of elegant seat with confusion, thinking as he walked: Could it be that the pangolins abroad are more delicious?
Su Cheng looked up at the uninvited guest, recalled the photos he had seen, and said, "Are you Mr. Su's nephew?"
"Su Yaping." The man with big ears on the side said with a smile: "I also opened a company, which operates wood, and I dare not say about seafood. There are a lot of delicacies. If you like it, I will bring you some next time."
Standing at the other end of the private room, Su Yaping felt a little free and comfortable. Indeed, when Su Yaping told Mr. Su to come forward and then took the initiative to surrender to the nobles to meet Su Cheng, Su Yaping naturally had a top-down meaning.
But Su Cheng did not follow the idea designed by Su Yaping. He curled his lips and said, "You are at your age and probably transformed the state-owned enterprise you used to work in to shareholding."
Su Yaping was about 45 or 46 years old. As his Su family, it was naturally impossible to do business with a group of reform prisoners in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Even if the tide in the mid-1980s was influential, it would not be possible to impress a red child like him.
However, if Su Yaping had entered a state-owned enterprise in order to get promoted faster and work easier, and then made mistakes and did not jump out in time, then Su Yaping would have a lot of motivation to do business.
Eat the poorly managed state-owned enterprises and then continue to develop and make progress in relationships like spider webs. This is a normal routine for large private enterprises in this era and can be easily guessed.
Su Yaping obviously disliked Su Cheng's straightforward and even contemptuous tone, and his nose wings fluttered, saying: "Our company's shareholding reform is reasonable and legal. More than 1,000 employees, if you are willing to buy internal shares, you can buy it. If you are unwilling, you can continue to work in the company. It is much better than suspending production and laying off work..."
"What's the matter with me?" Su Cheng broke the topic again.
Su Yaping, who was originally going to argue, felt so tight that he could only breathe a few breaths, saying, "You seem to have wanted to buy the oil machinery factory in Tianjin, right?"
"yes."
"What about now?"
"What's the meaning?"
"The Jinshi General Factory is not well-managed, and since last year, the salary has not been paid. Therefore, we consider that if Dahua Industrial still wants to buy the Jinshi General Factory, everyone can help."
Su Cheng smiled: "Who are we and everyone?"
Su Yaping pursed his lips and said, "My brother-in-law, Yang Yunfu, is in charge of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."
"Oh? What about the request?"
"This...why let's go up and talk. The old man is waiting."
Su Cheng shook his head and said, "If I were to return to my family, I would have refused. Even if I gave me a Tianjin Shi General Factory, the answer would not change. However, you must have a second plan, what do you want to change?"
Before seeing Su Cheng, Su Yaping thought Su Cheng was playing the trick of "three persuading and three advances". Only when he met face to face, he realized that this was not the case at all.
Su Yaping thought about it and didn't join the family, so he simply said: "We each bought the Jinshi General Factory for 50% of each. In the future, if you take down the oil pipelines in China-Kazakhstan or China-Arab, you have to hand over the pipeline business to the Jinshi General Factory for the whole pipeline business."
A pipeline worth thousands of kilometers and cost more than 1 billion is indeed a good deal.
Su Cheng smiled: "If you give this condition to me for free, I won't want it."
Su Yaping's face changed and he said, "Don't rush to make a decision, you have to think it through."
"oh?"
Su Yaping stared in his eyes and said, "If you don't go back to your family and don't agree with this plan, then there will be no relationship between the Su family and Dahua Industrial. In this way, we have no choice but to fully support the Anda Line!"
