Chapter 106: Want to move

Zhao Guodong put forward his opinions, and Zhao Deshan naturally had to comply. In fact, he was not optimistic about Andu Commercial Bank, which had poor investment efficiency. However, Zhao Guodong strongly advocated it at that time and took the initiative to contact the Ningbo Commercial Bank. This judgment made the senior management of the company, including Zhao Changchuan, quite puzzled.

With the current operating conditions of commercial banks in these cities, it is hard to say that this is a wise decision, so Zhao Changchuan would be a little hesitant when the Andu Municipal Government contacted Canglang Group. If the Andu Municipal Government had not contacted Canglang Group on its own initiative and made a request, Zhao Changchuan would never have actively requested to increase his stake in the Andu Commercial Bank.

Zhao Guodong asked about Canglang’s plans for the main business again, and Zhao Deshan also introduced the current development of Canglang Water Industry.

At present, Canglang, the water industry, is mainly concentrated in expanding the market of high-end Changbai Mountain Jinghuaquan, especially rapidly expanding the market from first-tier cities to second- and third-tier cities. This is the main goal of Canglang Water Industry at present. Although the high-end water market is not very large in terms of capacity, its profits are quite considerable and has become the highlight of the fastest-growing profits in the water industry. And most importantly, it is directly competing with foreign brands, especially Evian Mineral Springs, which makes Canglang feel proud to start a war to defend national brands.

Currently, with the help of Canglang's good marketing methods and holding up the national brand banner, and Canglang Group spent a lot of money on donating flood-affected areas, Mi Ling's powerful confession at the "We All One" flood relief party held by CCTV in August has made Canglang's brand reputation an unparalleled situation, causing a huge impact on Evian France, which is already at a disadvantage, and its market share has also shrunk sharply. As for other domestic brands, it is difficult to have a substantial impact on the core essence of Changbai Mountain.

In addition, the barreled water market has also developed rapidly. First-tier cities Canglang have gained a foothold and have steadily occupied the market. However, the regional consumption habits of barreled water are very strong. Although Canglang is the largest water brand in the country, it is bottled mineral water. In the barreled water market, it still faces fierce competition from local brands. Fortunately, the high-quality image of the Canglang brand is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Taking advantage of the brand effect, Canglang barreled water has occupied the largest share in the battle between the heroes and strives to widen the gap with other brands.

In addition, Canglang is also planning to enter the South China market, which is the most fiercely war. This is the location of LeBay and Yibao headquarters. If it wants to enter this region, it will face fierce competition. However, if Canglang wants to become the dominant position of the water industry, it must take this step and cannot succeed in the South China market. It cannot be said that Canglang has achieved success across the country.

In addition to the actions of high-end water and barreled water, Canglang is also turning his development attention abroad, especially countries like Russia, India and Vietnam.

The Caucasus region of Russia has rich and world-famous mineral water sources, but the considerable share of mineral water required by Russia needs to be imported, especially the high-end water market is monopolized by foreign brands. The country's light industry is weak. In addition, the economy is in trouble due to the Asian financial crisis. Both the federal government and local governments warmly welcome foreign capital investment industries that are related to people's livelihood. At present, the state relations between China and Russia are also in a warming stage. High-level visits between the two sides are frequent, and the establishment of strategic cooperative partnerships between countries has entered a substantial stage. This is also a favorable factor.

The Indian and Vietnam markets are included in the Canglang Group's inspection scope. India has a hot climate, a large population, and the middle class is developing rapidly. The market demand for bottled mineral water is also growing. Vietnam and India are similar. With the domestic economic reforms implemented, people's living standards have also been improved to improve living conditions. For example, mineral water, which was originally imported, has entered the homes of ordinary people.

Zhao Guodong listened carefully to Zhao Deshan's introduction, which surprised him was whether Canglang, who was originally a little worried, would only focus on market risks when turning his attention to foreign markets and ignore non-market factors such as state relations, investment systems and policies, and trade unions. However, Zhao Deshan introduced that these risk factors that Zhao Guodong deliberately paid attention to were all in place, and clearly proposed to hire special risk investigation and assessment companies at home and abroad to conduct a comprehensive investigation and assessment of market factors and non-market factors in these countries, and come up with a relatively objective assessment opinion. Before these preliminary work was thoroughly done, Canglang would not easily take the pace of internationalization.

The organic combination of strategy, courage to innovate and breakthroughs and tactical prudence and stability seems that Zhao Changchuan has already gained three of them. Zhao Guodong is very pleased. What makes Zhao Guodong even more happy is that Zhao Deshan has changed a lot. Zhao Guodong is not sure what has caused Zhao Deshan's temperament to change a lot in this year, becoming more rational, calm and generous. This has always been Zhao Deshan's shortcomings, but now it seems that it has improved a lot. Perhaps it is the position of vice president that has allowed him to gradually adapt to changing himself, or perhaps it is the circle of friends and colleagues he usually comes into contact with. In short, Zhao Deshan's changes have made Zhao Guodong feel like Wu Xia Ameng.

The development of Canglang made Zhao Guodong very moved. He developed with great success without himself. This made him feel a little disappointed, but it made him feel even more gratified. The maturity of Zhao Deshan and Zhao Changchuan proved that their idea of ​​letting go and letting them start their own business and develop had achieved substantial results. If they did not let go and blindly let them act according to their own intentions, Canglang might not have developed as much as they are today.

There has not been much change in Kuihua Street. Zhao Guodong is very relaxed when he walks along Kuihua Street with Jiang Yunhua. Every two or three months, Zhao Guodong has to spend half a day to accompany Jiang Yunhua when he returns to Andu. This has become the best way for the two to relax and adjust their emotions, and it is also a platform for the two to exchange ideas as they wish.

From famous calligraphy and paintings to porcelain fragments, from bronze tripods to Xuande furnaces, these goods on Kuihua Street are indeed very particular about the eyesight of the consignees. The examples of taking medicine without taking the liabilities are performed in this old street less than a kilometer long every day. Jiang Yunhua is no exception. After taking medicine several times in a row, Jiang Yunhua also realized that his eyesight is still much worse than those of the old men who have been in this street for more than ten or twenty years. Looking more, asking more, and talking less, not buying has become the true meaning of his horoscope.

Only when he came here with Zhao Guodong, Jiang Yunhua had a little confidence, but it was not easy to buy something that he liked and was satisfied with. However, Jiang Yunhua didn't mind. He enjoyed the artistic conception of wandering around the old street and then standing aside to listen to others showing off their skills and talking nonsense.

After a long walk, two or three hours passed. If you really calm down and walk around one by one, you will chat with me if you encounter something that is flashing. Even if you don’t want to walk out of this street for two days.

"Jiang Master, when will I come back to Ningling to inspect and investigate? Old Peng has been thinking about you." Zhao Guodong carried his hands and half a step back than Jiang Yunhua. Jiang Yunhua, wearing a single jacket, opened his clothes. The weather was just right, but he still felt a little enthusiastic after walking a while.

"Well, let's see the opportunity. Lao Peng came to me a few days ago and sat there for a long time. I thought he had some ideas. Why, is there any changes in the personnel affairs in your district?" Jiang Yunhua asked casually. He had not found anything today, but he was in a very comfortable mood. He walked down with a pot of tea, drank all his energy, and his mouth was quite strong.

"Oh? Wei Xiaolan went to Canghua County to be the county magistrate, and a deputy district mayor of the Standing Committee was released. In addition, Qian Zhiguo was in prison and Bao Yonglai was ill. After Huo Yunda was transferred, the district still had two candidates for deputy district mayors. So this time the district committee recommended Mo Rong and Xiang Yongqiang as candidates for deputy district mayors. Lao Peng probably felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that others were motivating. Why? He even went to Jiang's army to complain?"

Zhao Guodong laughed, and Peng Yuanhou also expressed some meaning in front of him, but there was no suitable opportunity to make adjustments yet. Moreover, with Peng Yuanhou's ability, Zhao Guodong was not relieved to throw him to the government for specific work.

"There is no complaint. Just like you said, you always envy others' progress." Jiang Yunhua also smiled and said, "Old Peng is a person with average ability to tell the truth, but he is obedient and honest. He has no sloppy things. He can do things he arranges in a real way. Of course, if you want to do it to make you 100% satisfied, it may not be necessary."

Jiang Yunhua's evaluation of Peng Yuanhou was very accurate, and Zhao Guodong also viewed this.

"Well, so he is really not easy to move. It's only my personal opinion that our deputy secretary has a suitable position after leaving." Zhao Guodong was afraid that Jiang Yunhua would misunderstand, so he explained: "Our deputy secretary who was assigned to serve should go back at the end of the year. I intend to let Xiao Chaogui be the deputy secretary and Lao Peng come to take over the role of Lao Xiao's organization minister. This is just my personal opinion. Because I haven't mentioned that step yet, I haven't reported it to Huang Ling yet, but I think the problem shouldn't be big."
