Chapter 1089 Grilled Chicken Wings, My Favorite

'Advantage track'?
Xu Lihua's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he continued,
"Vice President Zhu, I understand your concerns, but I am so disappointed in your short-sightedness!
Bird cannot be satisfied with its small achievements in the mobile phone market. We must have greater ambitions and vision.

The car manufacturing business is an important step in our company's diversification strategy, which is related to whether Bird can become a true international giant.

I hope you can understand that and not spread pessimism here.”

Zhu Zhaojiang was silent for a while, then he straightened his back and said slowly,
"Mr. Xu, I understand your ambition, but I also believe that any successful strategy requires down-to-earth execution.

I just hope we can assess the risks more carefully and make sure every step is taken steadily.

Bird’s success today is due to your wise leadership, but it is also the result of the joint efforts of all colleagues.

Bird is everyone’s home. I just don’t want to see us miss out on better development opportunities because of our reckless behavior.”

He also realized that Xu Lihua was deliberately suppressing him.

As a state-owned enterprise, he has the right to express his opinions at the meeting, and...

As a new generation of Bird Company, he was recruited after Bird was transformed into a state-owned enterprise. Zhu Zhaojiang never considered himself as a retainer of Xu Lihua, but as an employee of a state-owned enterprise.

Moreover……

Zhu Zhaojiang smiled coldly, "Chairman, according to what you just said, if I understand correctly...

Did you arbitrarily launch a new business without the authorization of shareholders or the board of directors, and at the same time reach a cooperation agreement with other manufacturers in your personal capacity?"

Zhu Zhaojiang's words directly pointed out that Xu Lihua violated the company's articles of association, invested in the establishment of a new second-level subsidiary, exceeded the authority of the rules of procedure, and reached a cooperation agreement with an external company without obtaining authorization.

This is a common occurrence for Xu Lihua, who always likes to "force takeoff".

In fact, in the state-owned system, especially when working in state-owned companies, sometimes it is necessary to act first and report later.

Otherwise the daylily will get cold.

But now that it has been pointed out, he is really embarrassed.

Xu Lihua's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't expect that Zhu Zhaojiang not only dared to publicly question his decision in such an occasion, but also dared to challenge him openly.

good good!
The wings are indeed hard!

He also knew that the company was now divided into two factions, one was the meritorious faction that followed him in starting the company and then joined the state-owned assets, and the other was the corresponding state-owned asset faction.

These are two natural factions.

There are open and covert struggles between the two factions on a daily basis, but there are all kinds of things in the circle. If there are no factions in a company, he will not be able to hold his position as chairman.

Therefore, he has been condoning the growth of the state-owned capital group.

Because the state-owned capital faction is not equal to state-owned capital. Compared with foreign capital, state-owned capital has its dignity and will not easily kick out the founder.

Otherwise, who would dare to play mixed ownership with state-owned assets in the future?

As long as he doesn't make any mistakes in principle, the best he can do is retire, but he will never be kicked out.

The car manufacturing was concealed for a year in the early stage, which was also a chess game set by him.

In fact, during this preparation process, he did not do anything in the name of Bird; even the salaries of the design team were paid by himself.

The purpose is to see who supports and who opposes among the state-owned capital group after the announcement.

But what Xu Lihua never expected was that he originally thought that someone would report and criticize him after the fact, but now Zhu Zhaojiang jumped out directly at the meeting to accuse him face to face.

It's really fucked up.

In such situations, the chairman's authority would be reduced by three points if someone made trouble for him.

In fact, he knew very well that Zhu Zhaojiang was a person who was purely dedicated to his career and had no intention of playing office politics. He was not on his purge list.

On the contrary, he was also very optimistic about the young man Zhu Zhaojiang.

Being young is an advantage everywhere.

However, at this time, he didn't mind killing the inflated Zhu Zhaojiang as a warning to others.

Now, it is time to close the net and crack down on the state-owned assets in the company.

Under your own strategic planning, all you need are outstanding executors. Although such people are rare, they do exist and they are not impossible to find.

A flash of coldness flashed across his eyes, and Xu Lihua spoke in a low voice,

"Zhu Zhaojiang, are you questioning my decision-making process?

As the chairman of the company, I have the right to make decisions that I believe are beneficial to the company.

Everything I do is for the development of the company!

If you have any objections to my decision, you can raise them through normal channels instead of making irresponsible remarks here. "

With a look of infinite contempt on his face, Xu Lihua wanted to provoke the anger of the arrogant Zhu Zhaojiang.

Go and sue!
After the lawsuit, I went to the state-owned assets department to complain and tell about my grievances!

Also, get some benefits from state-owned assets.

Paying for things yourself, is this a personal integrity or a lack of system?
Moreover, the founder of the company that made the state-owned assets earn a lot of money is now humiliated in front of his employees and is falsely accused?

Is there any reason in this world?!
Looking at the bulging blue veins on Zhu Zhaojiang's temples, Xu Lihua's heart was filled with joy.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere in the conference room almost froze.

Zhu Zhaojiang's anger was like a volcano about to erupt, and his suppressed emotions could break free at any time.

At this critical moment, Xu Lihua's secretary suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room, breaking the standoff that was about to break out.

The secretary's face was pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had jogged all the way here.

His breathing was rapid, and his tone was obviously panicked: "Boss Xu, someone is having a barbecue on the lawn of the hotel!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room looked at each other in complete confusion.

This……

It's just a trivial matter, why are you so flustered?

But soon, the more savvy people realized that something was wrong.

Didn’t they book the entire hotel today?!

The mid- and senior-level summary meeting in the morning, the annual meeting in the afternoon, and the performance in the evening, everything is going as planned.

The employees should still be rehearsing intensively in the company at this moment, so why would someone be barbecuing on the lawn?

Moreover, the secretary's panicked attitude seemed to imply that things were not simple.

Xu Lihua's secretary steadied his breath and continued, this time with a hint of weirdness and helplessness in his tone.

“Boss Xu, listen to me, the people who do the barbecue are not ordinary people.

It is Qing Yun, the chairman of Yanhuang Group, and his fiancée Qin Manyan.

They even drove up in a luxury RV and it looked like they were on a camping trip.”

This news was like a bombshell, and it set off an uproar in the conference room.

Everyone was completely stunned. How could Qing Yun from Yanhuang Group, the young giant who was a big shot in the business world, suddenly appear here?

And in such a relaxing way?!
This is fucking sick!
Obviously, good people don’t come, and those who come are not good.

Xu Lihua didn't even care about killing Zhu Zhaojiang to warn others.

His brows furrowed instantly as he quickly analyzed this sudden situation.

In his opinion, Qing Yun's appearance was by no means accidental.

This young business leader is known for his accurate market insights and bold business strategies.

Behind every move he makes is a far-sighted business consideration.

Moreover, judging from the clues leaked by the employees of Yanhuang Group, Qing Yun's level of dedication as a boss can be regarded as a model worker in the business community.

It's impossible that he would be so bored that he would run from Huating to Ningbo and have a barbecue on the lawn of his own annual meeting hotel.

It was directed at him.

Xu Lihua knew that Qing Yun's sudden visit must have a deeper meaning.

As for why it is in this form?
Very simple.

Because he doesn't deserve it.

Although he achieved certain success in the mobile phone industry, with total revenue reaching 2003 billion in 130, his net profit was only 2.5 million, which is nothing compared to the monthly profit of Yanhuang Group.

Even if the entire lawn was reserved for Bird's annual meeting, no one would dare to stop Qing Yun if she wanted to have a barbecue on the lawn.

In front of a future business giant like Qing Yun, if Xu Lihua wants to be considered a supporting role, it depends on whether he has a role in the whole drama.

Although this sounds a bit discouraging, the fact is that he, Xu Lihua, is not qualified to be Qing Yun's opponent.

Therefore, he speculated that the purpose of Qing Yun's visit was to seek cooperation.

Considering that the TOP Group's mobile phone license that Yanhuang Group originally planned to inherit was cancelled by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, they are currently reapplying, which makes him more convinced that Qing Yun came with the intention of cooperation.

But how they cooperated, I couldn't tell due to my poor eyesight.

Otherwise, there was no grudge between them, and he couldn't find any other reason why Qing Yun would come.

As for why they chose to barbecue downstairs, Xu Lihua thinks this is understandable.

After all, Qing Yun and his fiancée Qin Manyan are both young people, and today is Christmas Eve, so they may just want to meet in a relaxed manner.

Perhaps in the eyes of Mr. Xiao Qing, meeting a small character like him might not need to be too formal.

Xu Lihua quickly adjusted his mindset, he knew this was a rare opportunity.

Qing Yun's visit may bring unprecedented development opportunities to Bird.

He must seize this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Qingyun and pave the way for Bird's future.

If he could convince Mr. Xiaoqing to invest and join his car manufacturing business, then his car manufacturing business would be secure.

After all, capital and the market are very trusting of Mr. Xiaoqing's accounts, and Mr. Xiaoqing's investments will inevitably be sought after.

He took a deep breath and decided to try to understand Qing Yun's true intentions with the most sincere attitude.

As for the conflict with Zhu Zhaojiang...

It won't take too long to deal with the person.

"Everyone follow me downstairs to welcome President Xiaoqing!"

……

Xu Lihua, along with all the senior executives, came downstairs with a beaming smile on their faces, and came to the lawn to greet Qing Yun.

Qing Yun and Qin Manyan were standing next to the RV, and some people who looked like security guards were scattered around.

In Xu Lihua's eyes, Qing Yun was holding a bottle of beer, flipping the ingredients on the grill at ease. Qin Manyan was sitting not far away, preparing ingredients with a woman who he didn't know but was definitely stunning.

Well, as everyone knows, there is never a shortage of women around Mr. Xiaoqing, as if he would die without women.

The three of them looked relaxed and comfortable, as if they were really just here to enjoy an ordinary warm winter day.

He could even hear the boy humming "Roasted chicken wings, my favorite..."

"Director Qing, Dean Qin, welcome! What brings you to our little place?"

Xu Lihua walked forward, stretched out his hand, and had a smile on his face.

Emperor Yun gently put down the beer bottle in his hand.

His eyes swept across Xu Lihua's face, and he wiped his hands and then reached out.

His handshake was firm and powerful, but his attitude was surprisingly cold, as if Xu Lihua's greeting was just a routine matter to him.

"Boss Xu, I have no choice but to come to Ningbo to bother you."

Qing Yun's voice was as calm as water, without the slightest fluctuation due to Xu Lihua's greeting. There was even a hint of obvious alienation in his eyes.

This left Xu Lihua completely confused.

No...is this little bastard so arrogant?

He is also an entrepreneur and understands deeply that the expressions on entrepreneurs' faces are never real and change with the real-time scene.

But this young boss in front of him behaved like this, as if he had come here specially to slap someone in the face...

Xu Lihua was puzzled.

The most important thing is that there is no hatred or resentment!
The smile on his face widened a little, and his attitude could almost be described as respectful to the extreme.

Although he was cursing in his heart, he did not dare to be negligent in the face of this young business tycoon.

"Xiaoqing has summoned me. It's my turn to go to Huating."

There was a hint of flattery in his words, but more of it was awe for the emerging business empire of Yanhuang Group.

The framework is so magnificent and the success is visible to the naked eye.

Qing Yun seemed not to have heard it. He waved his hand nonchalantly, with a hint of nonchalance in his tone.
"What do you mean by summoning or not summoning? Director Xu is joking."

There was a subtle hint of mockery in his tone, as if suggesting that Xu Lihua's self-image was too serious.

But before Xu Lihua could say anything, Emperor Yun smiled and said, “Please forgive me, Mr. Xu, I’m not here to look for you.

I came here today to consult Mr. Zhu Zhaojiang, a big name in the industry, on some industry issues.”

The respect for Zhu Zhaojiang revealed in Qing Yun's words startled Xu Lihua and also stunned all the executives of Bird Company present.

Emperor Yun turned around, with a warm smile on his face, like the warm sunshine of spring.

“I have long heard of Mr. Zhu’s success in the mobile phone industry, and seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved.

I came here specially because I have a lot of questions in my mind and I want to get some advice from you, seniors."

Unlike the formal greetings between Xu Lihua, the smile on Qingyun's face at this moment made Zhu Zhaojiang feel flattered.

Zhu Zhaojiang quickly responded modestly, even with a slight tremor in his voice, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, Mr. Xiaoqing, thank you for the compliment."

He never expected that his name would be known by the chairman of Yanhuang Group, and he never expected that this young legend would come to him on purpose.

The executives around also witnessed this scene, and all of them had expressions of shock on their faces.

Obviously, what Mr. Xiaoqing said revealed his high evaluation of Zhu Zhaojiang's professional ability.

Although, it is true that after working together for many years, Zhu Zhaojiang's abilities are obvious to all.

but……

why?

Why are they so courteous to Zhu Zhaojiang, the vice president of sales of Bird mobile phones, but so cold to the chairman Xu Lihua?
It is really too disrespectful.

In the middle...

There must be a deep meaning!

The executives exchanged glances, trying to find answers in each other's eyes.

However, while everyone was still thinking wildly, Qing Yun turned around and said to Xu Lihua indifferently,
"If Mr. Xu doesn't mind, I would like to have a private chat with Mr. Zhu."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xu Lihua's heart hard.

What the hell!
What do you mean!
It would be wishful thinking to come down by yourself, right?
Xu Lihua's face turned pale in an instant, and the veins on his neck twitched several times.

He felt that he was not only ignored, but also "asked" to leave by Qing Yun in a nonchalant manner in front of everyone.

This embarrassment filled his heart with bitterness.

As the leader of Bodao, he seemed to have no weight in front of Qing Yun.

But he couldn't get angry, so he could only force a smile.

"Of course I don't mind. Please do as you wish."

There was a hint of stiffness in his voice, and he turned around and took the executive team back to the hotel conference room.

Along the way, other executives of Bird Corporation looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and anxiety.

They whispered to each other and discussed Qing Yun's real intention of keeping Zhu Zhaojiang.

"What's going on? That Xiaoqing boss actually only left Zhu Zhaojiang behind. Could it be that Yanhuang Group really intends to stir up trouble in the mobile phone industry?"

“It seems that Zhu Zhaojiang’s talent has attracted the attention of industry giants. Qingyun’s move may be to poach him individually, or to explore cooperation.

But in any case, this is not good news for us at Bird.”

Everyone was suspicious. Yanhuang Xiaoqing's action...

Is he betting to support Zhu Zhaojiang, or does he have other intentions?
After all, the movements of Yanhuang Group have always been the focus of attention in the industry. They seemed to be preparing to make a big move into the mobile phone business, but were frustrated by the issue of mobile phone licenses.

After all, the Yanhuang Group seemed to be preparing to enter the mobile phone business, but its mobile phone license was lost by accident.

For the capital tycoon Xiao Qing, the easiest way is to acquire a mobile phone brand.

So after the acquisition, it is normal to kick out the original founder and support newcomers.

Although Bird is a state-owned company, Mr. Xiaoqing has bought more than one or two state-owned companies. The local government must be very willing to negotiate with such a large group, for example, to establish a computer production base as a condition of exchange.

After all, attracting investment and increasing employment are the most important "performance assessments" for local civil servants.

In other words, Mr. Xiaoqing's action today might be to help Zhu Zhaojiang.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Qingyun contacted Zhu Zhaojiang in order to build his own company and poach talents in the industry.

Money is not everything, but it is the most effective in most scenarios. Poaching is also a way to quickly improve yourself and weaken your opponents.

Everyone was calculating frantically in their hearts, trying to guess Qing Yun's true intentions.

Even though Bird’s mobile phone sales rank first in the country, they know exactly how they achieved this first place.

Now the Yanhuang Group is about to enter the game. In the chess game of this business giant, their Bird Company, and even each of them, may just be pawns.

And Zhu Zhaojiang may be the key player chosen by Qingyun.

After returning to the conference room, Xu Lihua no longer had the energy to talk about car manufacturing.

After concluding with a few quick words, he asked the heads of each department to begin their summary reports.

At this moment, Xu Lihua's mood was as if shrouded by dark clouds, gloomy and heavy.

He felt that he was not only humiliated, but also that his dignity was ruthlessly stripped away in front of the company's middle and senior management.

The behavior of that little bastard Qing Yun today was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face in public.

His heart was filled with rage, and these emotions raged in his mind like a violent storm.

But hidden deeper is uneasiness.

Whether Qing Yun came today with the intention of supporting Zhu Zhaojiang or poaching him with ulterior motives, it no longer mattered.

What’s more important is that Qing Yun’s blatant lack of respect for him will undoubtedly trigger endless suspicion and discussion within the company.

He even had some conflicting thoughts in his mind and hoped that Qing Yun's purpose of this trip was to poach Zhu Zhaojiang.

If Zhu Zhaojiang was really poached by Qingyun, then he could at least retain a bit of face.

But if Zhu Zhaojiang stays, what will other people in the company think of him?

More importantly, how will state-owned assets view him?

They will definitely think that Lian Xiaoqing thinks that Zhu Zhaojiang is more important and more capable than him, Xu Lihua.

At this moment, the only thing in Xu Lihua's mind was "MMP".

Although he was used to being a big shot in Bird Corporation, he had also been a small shot before.

It’s not that I haven’t been ignored, and it’s not that I haven’t bent over.

In front of some public figures and some business tycoons, he is just a little Karami.

He could even clearly sense from Qing Yun's attitude that Qing Yun actually had no ill will towards him.

It's just that the superior people look down on me with the attitude of "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs", and they don't want to be hypocritical with me.

The elephant crushed the ant to death simply because the ant appeared where it was standing.

Not intentional.

but……

The shadow of a famous tree.

Xu Lihua also had to admit that after the corporate summit, Qing Yun, who was already a future business leader, had a reputation that was enough to make many people speculate about his every move, and at the same time, their perspectives on issues would change because of his actions.

This is fucked up.

I can't go around complaining about my injustice. After all, that little bastard Qing Yun didn't seem to have done anything too outrageous.

Sitting in the conference room, Xu Lihua stared at the scenery outside the window with a gloomy and dull look, but his heart could not be as calm as the outside world.

He knew that no matter what the real purpose of Qing Yun's sudden visit was, today's events would inevitably spread, ferment, and finally cause an uproar within the company.

And he, as the chairman of Bird, can only sit here and wait for the results. This feeling of powerlessness makes him feel unprecedentedly frustrated.

Everything that I have worked so hard to build...may collapse because of Qing Yun's unintentional action.
