Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 378 Dong Zong rebels
A few days later, a law enforcement car came and wanted to take me into the car and detain me.

The company's legal department came immediately to ask about the situation so that no one would take me away.

But I insisted: "Let people enforce the law normally, you just need to record it, and I must cooperate with the law enforcement officers."

When I went to the place, I laughed. It turned out to be the Municipal Safety Supervision Bureau. As far as I know, they don’t have the right to detain me. I guess they don’t even have a detention room. However, I followed them upstairs very cooperatively. The people in the Ministry of Justice are also at a loss. What kind of agency is this? How can it have the right to detain me?

When I went to the office of Chief Xia Ke, Chief Xia Ke saw that I had brought it over, and said with a sneer, "I invite you to come here politely, but if you don't come, it's fine now. Do not?"

Before I could speak, someone from the legal department stepped forward and said: "I am now officially warning you that you are suspected of illegally detaining my client. I doubt your law enforcement functions and law enforcement standards. Now let my client go. I reserve You will not be held accountable."

When Chief Xia heard this, he was intimidated, and hurriedly said: "What detention, we just summoned him to assist in the investigation."

The person from the Ministry of Justice said: "There is also a problem with the word summons you used. You are not the procuratorate or the public security department. Why do you summon my client? You have no arrest warrant and no summons. You are enforcing the law illegally. You are breaking the law knowingly." , The power given to you by the state is to allow you to bully the common people like this? What is your name and what position is it, I want to complain to the higher authorities.”

Chief Xia was stunned on the spot. I don't know if she understood. Anyway, I didn't understand, but it must be enough to bluff people.

I smiled and said: "It's not that serious, Chief Xia just wanted to chat with me, and he specially picked me up in a special car, right, Chief Xia?"\
Chief Xia quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"

I whispered in the ear of the legal department: "You go there first, just say that the people here have arrested me and will detain me for a few days, just say that, you know?"

Although the people from the legal department didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in my gourd, they nodded obediently and left.

Chief Xia said gratefully: "This, this, thank you so much, it's all a misunderstanding."

I smiled and said, "It's my fault. I've delayed your normal work. I should have come a long time ago. I'm late. Let's get started. If there is anything we need to cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with all my strength."

In fact, the matter is very small, just going through the motions. It's just that they don't encounter such things a few times a year. When they do, they will naturally make a big fuss. If you make a mistake, you’ll be fine. Who knows that when you meet someone like me who doesn’t worry about it, you don’t come after adding it a few times. Naturally, you feel angry and want to punish me.

Once the words are opened, there is no big deal, and if you sign the formalities casually, it's no big deal.

In the next few days, Mr. Zhu kept my phone off the hook, until it ran out of battery, and I didn't charge it, so I just left it alone.

A week later, Dong Zong started to take action and convened a board meeting. Although she is not the chairman, she can hold a board meeting as long as more than half of the directors agree. I am a director, so I was naturally invited to attend.Before the meeting of the board of directors, I met Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu said to me with an ugly face: "What are you doing? Why don't you even answer my phone."

I said innocently: "Don't you know? The City Safety Supervision Bureau has detained me and confiscated my mobile phone. I can't do anything!"

Mr. Zhu snorted and said, "I'll settle the score with you after the meeting!"

This board meeting, all directors of the group attended. I have never seen many directors. Mr. Zhu is still high and sitting in the middle position. Mr. Dong sits on his left and an old man sits on Mr. Zhu’s right. Surprisingly Mr. Yi is not one of the major shareholders, he is just ahead of me.

The position of the board of directors is all talkative, and the seat is generally arranged according to your right to speak, that is, the number of shares.

My position was rather awkward, I counted, and in the penultimate position, there were only two people behind me, one was Mr. Jiang and the other was Mr. Chen.This Mr. Chen is also pathetic. He has been in the group for so many years, but he doesn't have as many shares as me, and his status is not as good as mine.

Mr. Zhu fired first: "I don't know Mr. Dong, what is the purpose of holding the board meeting this time?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "That's right. Everyone knows Mr. Zhu that you plan to retire at the end of the year. There are too many things at the end of the year and everyone is very busy. I want to bring your retirement to your daily life now. This will make it easier for everyone to work!"

Mr. Zhu sneered: "Mr. Dong, are you a little too impatient? Do you mean to let me step down as soon as possible?"

Dong Zong still smiled and said: "Mr. Zhu, don't say that, I am also thinking about the group. If you wait until the end of the year, you will have to wait until the end of the year to deal with many things, which is not conducive to the operation of the company. You said yes no?"

Mr. Zhu said with a smirk: "Originally, I planned to hand over the position of chairman, but I feel that there is still no suitable candidate, so I want to wait and see."

One of the directors, a middle-aged man I have never met, said: "Mr. Zhu, I think Mr. Dong is very suitable for your position. In the past few years, Mr. Dong has been worrying about the group's affairs. The company is advancing at a growth rate of several times every year. It is understandable that this is all due to Mr. Dong. Looking at today's electrical appliances, the output value has doubled in less than a year in the hands of Mr. Dong. The domestic similar products , have basically been squeezed out of the market, I think Dong Zong is fully capable of this!"

Mr. Zhu's face was very ugly. He looked at the bottom, and someone immediately objected: "Mr. Dong's achievements are indeed obvious to all, but I think there are still many immature areas that need to be improved. Like the previous small appliances, there was a crisis. , almost led to tens of millions of investment, which was in vain. In addition, as far as the development of electrical appliances is concerned, the product is still too single, and there is still a lot of instability, especially the signing of two strategic customers. I think it is a big problem , almost no profit point, and even losing money every year, Dong Zong still hasn't solved it well!"

After that, everyone stood in line one after another and expressed their opinions.It seems that the strength is evenly matched. The old man on Mr. Zhu's right has not spoken. I guess his standing in line is very important. I will observe this old man again.I don't know who said it to me.

Everyone looked at me one after another, and I still don't know why they looked at me.

At this time, Mr. Dong said to me: "Mr. Chen, you are now the head of small appliances. You have contributed a lot to today's small appliances. Can you tell me your opinion?"

I nodded and said solemnly: "Small household appliances today are not due to me, but to the overall layout of the group leaders. The leaders have a broad vision, quick thinking, and insight into the opportunity at the first time, so that today is what they are today." I’m just adding bricks and tiles to my small appliances.”

Immediately, someone said: "This is not a commendation meeting. I want you to clarify directly. You don't understand clearly. Who knows what you mean?"

I sneered and said, "It's very simple, whoever thinks of setting up a small home appliance, I will naturally support him."

Dong Zong smiled at me.

Mr. Zhu hesitated for a while and said, "According to what you mean, whoever proposes to establish a company must support that? All the companies under the group were founded by me, so do they still need to vote?"

I retorted: "The emperor still takes turns to do it. When he comes to my house next year, the capable will naturally live there. I will support whoever is qualified for the position of chairman. Since the question is so obvious, of course I support Dong. In general, no matter in terms of age or ability, I think Dong Zong is very qualified for the position of chairman of the group."

Sitting at the back, Mr. Chen sneered and said: "I don't think so. When it comes to ability, naturally the pioneer Mr. Zhu is the most capable, and I think he is in the prime of life now. I think Mr. Zhu can lead us to continue to create the group's future. Brilliant. Electric appliances and small household appliances have indeed made some achievements in the past few years, but this is inseparable from Mr. Zhu’s wise decision-making. Without Mr. Zhu’s drastic reform line, how could there be Wanzhong Electric and Wanzhong Group today.”

Another director said: "I admit that Mr. Zhu's contribution to the group is indispensable, and he is also the founder of the group, but Mr. Zhu's implementation philosophy in recent years has been too conservative, and the development of the group has stagnated. Dong Zong not only innovates, but also makes bold attempts to achieve the situation of the group today. If Mr. Zhu continues to be in charge of the group, although it may not necessarily go backwards, it can only stand still. Today’s market is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. Ah. This is a critical period to test the group. If it is done well, the group can climb steadily and dominate the market on the basis of a solid market. But if it is not done well, if there is a slight mistake, it will disappear in this market and will soon replaced."

Mr. Zhu's wife Mo Yun said: "Let me just say a few words, I am not helping relatives. Mr. Dong's advanced management concept is commendable, but it is still too radical. Our group is now in the market. If we have a huge advantage, then we should develop steadily and move forward steadily, but we shouldn’t be taking risks. Mr. Zhu’s position is conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army. As for Mr. Dong, if we practice for a few more years, we will wait until we can fully control the overall situation. Come up, I think it's more appropriate."

Mr. Zhu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Mr. Dong and said, "Is there anything else you want to add, Mr. Dong? If not, let's vote with a show of hands?"

Dong Zong said with a smile: "I have nothing to add. Everyone is for the good of the group. No matter what decision is made, I will unconditionally support it."

When the voting started, it happened to be a tie, and only the old man sitting on Mr. Zhu's right hand hadn't expressed his position yet. Everyone was anxiously waiting for him to express his position, but no one urged him, and he could see his weight.
