C10 Good Offices
"Will the meeting begin?" Li Haotian had helped Wang Wan Qing control the situation in the first round. However, there were some things that could not be changed with a single sentence. At least, Wang Wanqing still showed her usual humility in front of these people. This wasn't virtue. In Li Haotian's opinion, this was resignation.
Through his conversation with Wang Wanqing, Li Haotian had figured out the scope of the situation. Although Zheng Kuishan is the second largest shareholder, he also controls the board of directors. As the second largest shareholder and CEO, Yang Wenyuan controls the middle management of the company. Wang Wanqing, who was the chairman and CEO of the company, was actually just a puppet.
"Wan Qing and Wen Yuan, I assume you guys know about the trouble the company is facing now, right? A little quality problem is small, but the negative impact of this incident has already appeared. Within two days, our stock was very badly sold, the company's market value also evaporated by 2 billion, that's 1/8th of the company's market value. How do you two always end up being like this? " Zheng Kui Shan went straight to the point. His tone was merciless.
"Like I said, they have no experience, so problems will arise sooner or later." The shareholder Chen Xianqiu sighed as he spoke.
"I propose that the top management of the company change. The CEO and CEO are the same person. The board of directors will vote for them again." Shareholder Feng Kangsheng put forward his opinion, but in fact, Wang Wanqing and Yang Wenyuan both knew in their hearts that this must have been premeditated by these few old fellows.
Huang Qiang followed with, "I also agree with this suggestion. I can't just watch my shares evaporate bit by bit."
"That's good too. Wan Qing and Wen Yuan, do you agree?" Zheng Kuishan first expressed his agreement and then asked for their opinion. But in reality, everyone could hear that this question was a form of pressure on Wang Wanqing and Yang Wenyuan.
Facing these shareholders' planned impeachment maneuvers, Yang Wenyuan knew that he would not be able to keep his position. Although he was the CEO, he could not control the decision-making level. The only power he managed was the middle management level of the company. As for Wang Wanqing, she was even more alone. The real decision-making power belonged to that wily old fox, Zheng Guishan.
Yang Wenyuan nodded and looked towards Wang Wan Qing.
Since Yang Wenyuan had given in, Wang Wan Qing's psychological defenses were broken as a result.
She was about to nod when she heard Li Haotian say, "Wait, this happened in the company because of the quality of the products. The production technology department should be held accountable. Moreover, the Government's quality control department had yet to publish the results of the tests. The losses on the side of the stocks were only a fluidity. It didn't represent a real loss, so there was still a lot of room for manoeuvre. What right do you have to directly impeach the CEO? Wan Qing, this matter is not your fault. You have to fight for your reputation and actively resolve this issue. Once the reputation came back, the losses on the stock would naturally be paid back. The people are the fence-sitters, everyone knows it very well. "
Li Haotian's words reminded Wang Wanqing of her lack of political achievements. As long as she could resolve this issue beautifully, she would have some confidence. However, if they were to give in because of this, there would be even less room for power in the future.
"Yes, that's right. We should first hold the head of the production technology department accountable for this matter." After saying that, Wang Wanqing called her secretary and had her notify the manager to come to the meeting room.
Li Haotian and Wang Wanqing were singing the same tune. Before the other shareholders could interrupt, Wang Wanqing had already made her decision.
This made them hate Li Haotian even more.
"Get out of here immediately, you unrelated people." Zheng Guishan's face turned ashen. He was extremely familiar with Wang Wanqing; she was originally someone who only studied art. Even if Wang Jingsong and his wife put pressure on her, she eventually chose the Arts Department. Her personality was introverted, without any charisma or experience. Therefore, Zheng Guishan had always felt that dealing with this immature and immature little girl was as easy as flipping his hand. However, he didn't expect that the girl would suddenly invite such a sharp tongued assistant. This suddenly made her difficult to deal with.
Wang Wanqing looked towards Li Haotian. Of course, these people didn't want Li Haotian to be present. It would be a piece of cake for them to deal with her like that. She also felt that it was extremely inappropriate for Li Haotian to be present, but she needed Li Haotian to cheer her on. Li Haotian's gaze caused her to become determined.
"He's not an unrelated person. He's my assistant and he can help me make some constructive suggestions. Unlike some people, he would only add insult to injury when he was down. The meeting will continue! "
Everyone was stunned. Since when had Wang Wanqing become so courageous? Furthermore, it was clear from her words that she was mocking these shareholders. As the saying goes, a man close to the grave is a man close to the grave. He must have been instigated by this kid, Li Haotian. However, this was not the time to reveal the real deal. After all, Wang Wanqing was the biggest shareholder with the biggest stake in the company. She was the chairman of the board of directors and had the highest decision-making power in theory.
Yang Wenyuan himself also hated Li Haotian, but he couldn't deny that when Li Haotian appeared in the meeting room, not only did he help Wang Wanqing, he also indirectly helped him. Thus, he could only wait and see.
A few minutes later, the technical production department's manager and assistant manager appeared in the meeting room.
The manager was a middle-aged man with an honest face.
"Manager Wu, there is a quality problem with our yogurt products. I'm sure you know about it, right?" Wang Wanqing asked.
Manager Wu nodded.
"Do you have any explanation for that?"
"I am responsible for the losses suffered by the company. I have already written my resignation letter." With that, Manager Wu put the resignation letter in his hand in front of Wang Wanqing.
"Manager Wu, we don't want to fire you. We just want to investigate this moment." Wang Wanqing was well aware of Manager Wu's character. He was the most honest and honest person in the company, and Wang Wanqing had always respected him.
"I accept your resignation. As for the company's loss, it's not something you can afford. Considering your outstanding performance in the past, the company will not make things difficult for you. Go to the Finance Department and clear out all your salary." Yang Wenyuan interrupted Wang Wanqing at the right time. Pushing the blame onto a single person was the best solution. His position as president was thus preserved.
Manager Wu nodded and walked out of the meeting room with an obscure expression.
Although Wang Wanqing didn't want to dismiss Manager Wu, Yang Wenyuan's decision was unquestionable and she couldn't refute him.
"Are you the new deputy director of technology production?" Yang Wen Yuan looked at the young man that he left behind. On his handsome face, there was an incomparably calm expression.
"Yes, Director Yang. My name is Wang Yafei."
This not only made Yang Wenyuan feel the steadiness of this young man, but it also made the others shocked. Normally, if the manager was fired, the vice manager would be extremely nervous, but his expression didn't change at all.
"From now on, you will take over from Manager Wu. I will arrange for other positions to be changed." The middle management staff of these companies were all personally arranged by Yang Wenyuan. Even at this Board meeting, he has not changed his nature and is making a high profile personnel change.
"Thank you, Director Yang!" Even though Wang Yafei had been promoted, his expression did not change. This calmness was to the extent of being terrifying.
"However, I would like to remind you that the problem of product quality must never occur again. Get out! "
"I will definitely do better, Director Yang!" Wang Yafei left. When he passed by Li Haotian, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Li Haotian's heart jolted. He looked at the back view of Wang Yafei as he walked away, and then carefully experienced the meaning of that strange smile of his. First of all, he was sure that he had never met this Wang Yafei before. Then, why did he get a meaningful smile from him? While he was curious, he was unable to investigate any further.
"Manager Wu has taken the initiative to resign, so let's put aside the production problems for now. As for the quality department, I will settle this matter. I will keep this matter under wraps. If the problem continues to grow, I'll be questioned by you then. Let's adjourn the meeting now! " Wang Wanqing left the round table after saying that and walked out of the meeting room.
Li Haotian spread his hands towards the sulking shareholders and curled his lips.
"Someone wants to seize the throne, but today's results have disappointed all of you. I think, as shareholders, now that you are so old, you should just obediently stay home and carry your grandson, waiting for the young manager to make money for you. When a person gets old, he can't be unsatisfied with his age. This was the young people's society. If the old man were to take charge of the overall situation, he would bring the company down. "Let's go home and reflect on it."
After Li Haotian finished speaking, he even looked meaningfully at Zheng Guishan.
After Li Haotian walked out of the meeting room, Zheng Guishan slammed the table and roared: "Where did this random brat come from? He's too presumptuous!"
Wang Wanqing and Li Haotian, who were at the door, both heard Zheng Guishan's shout. They looked at each other and let out a smile of victory.
In the corridor, Wang Wanqing looked gratefully at Li Haotian and said, "Thank you for what you did just now. I almost couldn't hold it in anymore and got discouraged."
"Actually, it's nothing. You have the capital, but you don't have the confidence. As the boss of the company, you don't have to care about those old guys. Just follow the boss' lead. "In the future, we will make those old fellows feel so stifled that they will not even be able to breathe."
"In order to celebrate your victory in the first round, can I treat you to a western dinner tonight?"
"Mm, alright!"
Laughter lingered in the corridor, and it finally reached one of the ears in the corner.
"Wang Wanqing, please enjoy yourself. Very soon, I will make it so that you won't be able to laugh anymore." The man whispered to himself.
