Chapter 890: Solve It in Person

“Perfume. I think this scent is very good – Anna Sui Secret Wish [1].” Yang Ming said, “Maybe they also sell it here, but just consider it as my kindness!”
It was the perfume that Huang Lele liked. Yang Ming fell in love with this scent, so he bought more than ten bottles at once. He planned to give his known female friends each a bottle of it. On the way to his uncle’s home, he took out a bottle and gave one to Yang Li as a gift.
“Thank you.” Yang Li was very happy as she accepted Yang Ming’s gift. Although Anna Sui also had a counter in Song Jiang’s Xinheng Department Store, it represented Yang Ming’s care.
Going upstairs and coming to his uncle’s study, Yang Li knocked on the door outside. “Dad…”
“Lili, I already said it. I’m not eating dinner. You eat with your mother first. I’m thinking about something.” The voice of Uncle Yang Dashan came from the study.
“Uncle, it’s me.” Yang Ming pushed open the door of the study.
” Oh ?” When Yang Dashan heard Yang Ming’s voice, he was apparently shocked. Then, he looked up with some surprise. “Big Ming, you are back! Ai , this is great! I have been waiting for you to come back to discuss these things with you!”
Yang Dashan stood up. He hurried to Yang Ming and spoke somewhat excitedly.
After several incidents in the past, Yang Dashan’s trust in Yang Ming was even higher than that of Yang Dahai. In his opinion, Yang Ming would definitely come up with a good idea for this tricky thing. Even his daughter, Yang Li, thought so.
In fact, this matter wasn’t simple nor too difficult at the same time! The key was to see what Yang Dashan wanted to do. If Yang Dashan broke the contract with the engineering company, it wouldn’t be a big deal. At most, he only had to refund the deposit and paid some penalty fees. All these losses were only tens of thousands of yuan.
However, Yang Dashan was unwilling! After all, this was the first sale of the engineering machinery department that he was responsible for! He took over the responsibility of the construction and sales of construction machinery from his younger brother, Yang Dahai. He wanted to make some achievements and make a great cause.
Now that the first single business had a problem, how could he continue? Of course, not every city had such a situation, Phoenix City was purely incidental. However, even if it were by chance, Yang Dashan refused to give up!
In business, everyone wants everything to go smoothly for the first order after opening for business. Even if it doesn’t make money, everyone would want to make the business happen! So this was the real reason why Yang Dashan didn’t want to give up. It was also the reason why he had no appet.i.te these days.
“Lili, go get some tea. I need to talk to Big Ming!” Yang Dashan quickly instructed his daughter.
“Okay!” Yang Li smiled faintly. Over the last few days, she had never seen her father so happy and excited. It seemed that her little brother was really capable. She quickly promised to go downstairs to make tea.
“Big Ming, did Lili also tell you what happened recently?” Yang Dashan didn’t need pleasantries for his nephew and came straight to the point.
” En , I know the situation roughly. Isn’t it that the local construction machinery company in Phoenix City not allowing us to sell machinery to them?” Yang Ming nodded and expressed that he was clear about the situation.
“Yeah, according to your dad, if we give up this business, we will not lose anything.” Yang Dashan said, “But, I don’t want to give up. This is the first business. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Hence, I want to make a good start at the beginning! If the first step isn’t smooth, the following steps would not be smooth!”
Yang Ming agreed after hearing it. “I think so too. A local machinery company in Phoenix City won’t be a big deal, but it is necessary to think about how to deal with it.”
“Yes, I was thinking whether I should ask Brother Bao to bring his people to deal with it, but then when I thought about it, it was not appropriate to do so! After all, it is the other’s territory. The strong dragon cannot repress a snake in its territory [2]. In case they have connections with the officials, our people might get detained there!” Yang Dashan a.n.a.lyzed carefully.
Yang Ming thought so, too. It seemed that his uncle considered the problem very well. After the last failure of Entertainment City, he started to handle things more cautiously. He wasn’t as impulsive as he used to be. This was a good thing.
“Uncle, you are right. If we bring people in blatantly, we can’t solve the problem after all. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Even if we can escort the s.h.i.+pment once, we can’t always escort it, right?” Yang Ming nodded.
“Yes, I think so too. If we want to do this business, it needs to be long-term.” Yang Dashan said, “If we are always so careful to escort, then when once we are careless, we will suffer in their hands.”
“Right, what is the strength of the company that ordered the machinery? Since this is the case, do they still dare to buy our machinery?” Yang Ming suddenly remembered such an important thing.
“Of course… that company is an engineering company under the Phoenix Investment Bureau. No matter how arrogant the machinery company is, they don’t dare to fight against the company. They just vent their grievances to us,” said Yang Dashan.
“Can’t the investment bureau interfere with this thing?” Yang Ming asked after hearing it.
“The key issue is that the engineering company also has a very deep background. No one wants to be in conflict with anyone because of this minor issue!” Yang Dashan smiled bitterly.
Yang Ming sighed helplessly after listening. He understood it now. The power of the bosses of the two companies wasn’t small, but they weren’t agreeable to each other. Yang Dashan became the victim between them.
“For this matter, I think I will go to Phoenix City in person!” Yang Ming said, “It needs to be settled no matter what. Let me deal with the boss of the mechanical company.”
“You go?” Yang Dashan glanced with shock. “How can we have you do a dangerous thing?”
“If I go, it will pose the least danger!” Yang Ming said with a smile, “Don’t forget who saved you and Yang Li. If I let you both go, that will be the real danger! Well, if we want to settle this once and for all, I really need to go.”
“This…” Yang Dashan also wanted to persuade Yang Ming, but when he saw Yang Ming’s confidence, he also knew the ability of his nephew. He hesitated a bit, but he had to give up. “Well, then you must be careful. Don’t confront face to face!”
“Of course, I know how to do it.” Yang Ming smiled and said, ” Oh ya , what is the name of the mechanical company in Phoenix City? Is there any information? Let me study it first. You emerge victorious when you know yourself and your enemy!”
“Yes, I will print it out for you in a while. I have been worrying about this for a few days. I even wanted to let our provincial leaders greet the leaders of their province…” Yang Dashan sighed.
“That is not necessary. It’s complicated to get in such a huge stir.” Yang Ming waved his hand. “Let me handle everything.”
As he spoke, Yang Li came in with tea. Yang Dashan instructed Yang Li, “Lili, go and print out the information of the Phoenix Sankun Machinery Company, and bring it back for Big Ming.”
“Okay.” Putting the tea on the table, Yang Li went to the computer to print the information.
Yang Ming and Yang Dashan talked casually for a while about some problems in the construction machinery department of Ming Yang Heavy Industry. Yang Ming did not understand these things. Yang Dashan spoke while Yang Ming listened.
“Right, Big Ming, has your dad told you about it? We may not have sufficient s.p.a.ce for Ming Yang Heavy Industry. I want to choose a place to rebuild a factory. Do you think we should set up a real estate company? Should we look for the developer to build it? Anyway, those types of machinery can be produced. With our current connections, approval of qualifications is not a problem.”
“Setting up a real estate company?” Yang Ming was surprised. When the w.a.n.g Family’s Century Xiongfeng Group was brought over, there was also a real estate development company. Later, it was left for Hou Zhenhan to handle.What happened to it right now? Is it split up or sold? Or does it still remain?
“Uncle, wait a minute. Let me ask. My friend seems to have a real estate company,” said Yang Ming.
“Is it my previous company that is in the hands of Brother Bao? That company has now merged with Century Xiongfeng Group.” Yang Dashan said.
” Oh ?” Yang Ming remembered that his uncle originally had a real estate company, but since it was merged into the Century Xiongfeng Group, it meant that the real estate company was still there. Hence, there was no need to re-establish it. These companies actually belonged to Yang Ming. If Yang Ming set up another one, it would be repet.i.tive.
Yang Ming made a phone call to Hou Zhenhan and confirmed that Hou Zhenhan still kept the property business and started to develop the property. Only then did Yang Ming hang up the phone in surprise.
“Uncle, my friend has development qualifications. Just talk to him at that time.” Yang Ming said.
” Oh , is he reliable? Would he charge a lot of money from us?” said Yang Dashan.
“Naturally, he won’t. Yang Ming said with a smile. “Actually, it is the investor of Ming Yang, Hou Zhenhan, President Hou. You know him.”
Yang Ming said to Yang Dashan that Ming Yang Heavy Industries was funded by Hou Zhenhan in the past.
“It is him! That is good. We are on the same side!” Yang Dashan said with delight.
“I just told him the overall picture. You can talk about it in detail.” Yang Ming said, “If there’s nothing else, I will go back first. After all, I just came back from Macau. I haven’t gone home to take a look. ”
“You are right! A few days ago, your dad said that he hadn’t seen you for a few days. You should go back and have a look.” Yang Dashan said quickly.
Holding the information of the Sankun Machinery Company, Yang Ming walked out of his uncle’s house. Bao Sanli had already driven over Yang Ming’s BMW X5. He was waiting near the villa. Seeing Yang Ming come out, he quickly came forward.
“Brother Yang, here is the car key.” Bao Sanli handed the key to Yang Ming.
“Thank you!” Yang Ming patted Bao Sanli’s shoulder and took the car key.
“You’re being too modest.” Bao Sanli was praised by Yang Ming, and he was thrilled.
“Right, what happened to Yuan Gangyi?” Yang Ming suddenly remembered Zhang Bing’s junior high school cla.s.smate who he met just now.
