Chapter 2912: Underworld Business

Zhou Buqi actually already had an idea.

However, before that, he had to ask Zhou Shaoning for his opinion.

A phone call called him over.

"What's going on with Lao Yan?"

By the time Zhou Shaoning came over, it was already noon, so Zhou Buqi simply went to the staff canteen with him to eat. As for the female secretaries in the office, they can enjoy higher-quality and exquisite private dishes in the private kitchen in the office area.

Zhou Shaoning was a little confused, "Lao Yan? What happened to him?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "I heard that his work is not going well?"

"No..." Zhou Shaoning didn't quite understand, "He is mainly responsible for the supply chain. This chain is now very complete, and it is much smoother than in previous years. At the beginning, Lao Yan It was like going out to seek connections and drinking every day. Now it’s different. Asda has become a mobile phone giant, and the upstream supply chain is begging him to do things.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Isn't his usefulness not as strong as in previous years?"

Zhou Shaoning said: "That's for sure. When he first started his business, Aisida was just a grassroots team member. He is really the core figure in the company. The market and supply chain all rely on him. But... Lao Yan What he is good at is river and lake business.”

Zhou Buqi clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"

Yan Guangming has no education and has never graduated from junior high school.

Just a big old man.

The reason why we are able to achieve what we have today is due to the mixed society. Choice is greater than hard work, and vision is greater than ability.

In the early 1990s, I met a German. With the help of the German, I spent all my family assets and borrowed all the money I could borrow to buy a batch of equipment from Germany and built a piece of land in the capital to set up an electronics factory; More than ten years later, he embraced Zhou Buqi again, invested all the assets of the electronics factory, and participated in Aisda's entrepreneurial project. This time, he made the right bet again!

However, Asda is now the world's top mobile phone giant, as famous as Apple and Samsung.

This means that Asda is a large international company with fully institutionalized and standardized operations.

The quack mentality is no longer advisable.

Yan Guangming does not have the talents that Aisda needs; Aisda no longer needs the martial arts that Yan Guangming possesses.

Naturally, his status and voice within Esda will become lower and lower.

Zhou Shaoning was a little surprised, "Lao Yan has other ambitions? Is he dissatisfied with his current position in Asda?"

"Even if he is dissatisfied, it is definitely not with the company's treatment of you, but with himself." Zhou Buqi was very confident about this kind of thing, "Laoyan's vision is not that narrow. He has a good vision. He is a big man." To be able to be where I am today is because I have made every step in the right direction.”

Zhou Shaoning nodded, "Lao Yan has a good personality. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone in the company being at odds with anyone. He is also a brother-in-law with the guys in their twenties. Even if his ranking has dropped, his words have declined. Even though his power has weakened, he is always smiling, and I don’t see him fighting over anything with anyone.”

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "What does he have to grab? He is the founder and major shareholder of Aisda!"

Zhou Shaoning hesitated and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Eat silently.

What we eat is not rice, only vegetables without rice.

People tend to gain weight in middle age. Zhou Shaoning has reached the age where he has to control his diet and no longer eats carbohydrates. He mainly eats vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk and meat.

It doesn't matter if Zhou Buqi is so young, he doesn't reject rice, noodles or carbohydrates.

His lunch was quite rich, including a leek box, a beef bun, a lamb chop, a chicken wing, a piece of tuna sashimi, a small spoonful of eggplant rice, a small plate of pork head, a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of chicken breast milk soup.

There are many categories, but the total quantity is actually not large.

There are also six exquisite side dishes for two people to share, all of which are Shandong cuisine.

This is a meal specially prepared for him in the private room kitchen, which is different from the staff meal in the lobby.

Zhou Buqi's eyes were so sharp. Even though he was busy eating, he could see that he was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhou Shaoning said: "To be honest, Lao Yan's level... is not enough for Aisda now."

"Um."

"He is the founder and major shareholder. If it weren't for this relationship, I might have cruelly dismissed him. In the early days of the company, he played a core and important role. Now he is no longer needed. He is dead. His presence will sap the energy of many other young people.”

"It should."

Zhou Buqi has felt this way for a long time.

When a company succeeds in starting a business, some founders and veterans who are gradually unable to keep up with their capabilities are forced to step down and kill them. This is a journey that IT companies must go through. It's really rare to be able to handle this kind of thing as well as Ali's boss Ma. Even Ziweixing has eliminated several people.

Zhou Shaoning said: "I don't think Lao Yan has any emotions, at least the way he showed it didn't let me feel it. But now you say that he may have some thoughts, I guess that's it."

Zhou Buqi knew that Lao Yan was not good enough to serve as a senior executive in an international giant, but his level of dealing with people was not bad at all, "Well, that should be it. Even if you haven't expressed your opinion, he probably feels it himself, His existence has created certain obstacles for Aisda.”

“It’s possible.” Zhou Shaoning agreed. “Didn’t you come forward to deal with the Samsung and Hynix issues in Korea before? After he came back, he laughed at me. I guess he had this idea since then.”

Yan Guangming has a very accurate vision and a high vision.

He can’t do such a low-key thing as fighting for power and profit in the company. On the contrary, if he realizes that he is no longer needed by the company, he is likely to withdraw on his own initiative, not to cause trouble to everyone, and to make everyone look good.

In fact, it is the chivalry in the rivers and lakes.

I guess this is what Yan Gege said, her father’s troubles!

Zhou Buqi didn't hesitate at all, "Then I'll tell Lao Yan to come and work with Chen Guohuan to build up the copycat phone industry."

"Hmm?" Zhou Shaoning raised his eyebrows and was very happy, "Great! This is a good thing! Keep Lao Yan's position as a director of Astar, and let him focus his main business energy on making copycat phones. That's the world, and that's what he is best at."

This is what Zhou Buqi meant, "Even if this copycat phone company is established and becomes a big company in the future, it will be difficult to be like Astar, which is always a hidden world."

The so-called world is the unofficial territory.

It is the gray area in society and the shadow area under the sun.

Those who serve the country and the people are considered heroes.

If Astar wants to do an open and aboveboard business and face the markets of developed countries such as Europe, America, South Korea and Japan, its business methods must be in accordance with the rules and regulations, and there must be a set of institutionalized business processes.

The copycat mobile phone industry is a little different. It targets underdeveloped and backward areas such as Africa, India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, South America, and the Middle East. Some of these areas are still plagued by frequent wars... It is impossible to do business cleanly. There will inevitably be many special non-institutionalized and non-procedural means, which is very suitable for big men like Lao Yan who have emerged from the society.
