Rekindle 2003

Chapter 880 Mr. Xiaoqing, I just lost my temper
This was the first time he met the couple.

Wang Xuehong is about forty years old, with neat short hair and wearing a dark blue professional suit. She looks smart and capable. There is a sense of determination and decisiveness between her eyebrows. At first glance, she looks like a strong woman in the business world.

Chen Wenqi is a tall middle-aged man. He wears a neat suit and tie. He has a dignified appearance and an imposing manner, a typical template of a son-in-law.

However, Chen Wenqi's eyes revealed a confident sharpness and edge, and it was obvious that he was not someone who could be easily dealt with.

Being able to sit in the position of general manager of VIA Technologies, it is obvious that he is not a son-in-law who only knows how to live off his wife.

The person Qingyun was most interested in in the pavilion was Chen Wenqi.

The reason is simple: this was the template character in his previous life.

Qin Tianchuan wanted to train him to be such a person in his previous life.

The two men walked into the pavilion, first politely greeted Wang Yongqing and Qing Yun, and then sat down on the stone bench.

Wang Xuehong's eyes swept lightly over Qing Yun, with a hint of barely perceptible contempt.

She originally didn't want to pay any attention to Qing Yun.

Wang Xuehong comes from a prominent family and grew up under the influence of business tycoons. Her father is a legend in China's business community, and she herself is the head of VIA Technologies, and with the slogan of "China Chip", she is able to call the shots in the Chinese market.

Therefore, she has innate pride and self-confidence.

In her opinion, she and Qin Tianchuan are of the same generation and are about the same age. Although this young entrepreneur has been in the limelight recently, he is still a junior compared to herself.

But he couldn't persuade his father who was getting older and younger, so he had to come here.

But what she never expected was that things took a sharp turn for the worse. Not only did the old man have a good chat with Qingyun, he even rudely told her to "come over here."

When Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi first heard what the security guard said, they were a little confused, but their father's prestige made them dare not say anything and they hurried over.

After the two of them sat down, Qing Yun began to tell the whole story.

"Grandpa, Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen, this is how it all happened..."

As Qingyun continued her narration, Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi's faces became increasingly ugly, like dark clouds before a storm.

Wang Yongqing listened in silence, with a gleam in his eyes from time to time. It took him a while to understand what was going on.

In order to obtain the chip simulation test program related to the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching Technology" developed by D-Link, his daughter Wang Xuehong and son-in-law Chen Wenqi caused VIA's marketing manager Zhang Zhihao to deliberately resign at the end of the last century. Zhang joined D-Link Technology out of spite and returned to work at VIA Electronics after completing the task.

In fact, this technology has greatly helped VIA to enter the router market and provide integrated chipsets, but it has also directly damaged the market share of D-Link's router and switch businesses.

As Qing Yun continued her narration, Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi's expressions changed from initial calm to solemn, like the haze before a storm, so depressing that it made people breathless.

Wang Yongqing is like an old captain who remains calm and composed in the face of raging waves.

After hearing this, Wang Yongqing frowned and was a little speechless.

The incident itself is not a big deal, but corporate espionage is everywhere.

The fastest way to acquire advanced technology is to steal.

At the beginning of the century, every company was a sieve. No one could laugh at anyone else or look down on anyone else, because no one had a clean ass.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many cases of commercial espionage breaking out.

The real trouble is when what you did is exposed by others.

In other words, this guy got this information from some unknown channel and now comes to threaten his daughter.

The four of them sat around the stone table, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a moment.

There was also something strange in the looks of Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi.

Yo hoo!

Are you threatening their family?

Don’t you even look at where you are now!

Aren’t you afraid of being put in a sack and thrown into the lake?
Emperor Yun knew what was going on by looking at their expressions and shook his head, "D-Link has already started a secret investigation into this matter and is trying to persuade Zhang Zhihao to become a witness.

You don't have to doubt the authenticity of this matter, I have solid information channels."

This incident was supposed to break out in more than a month, but D-Link made a decisive move at the first move and directly released Zhang Zhihao's testimony.

So according to the timeline of the litigation process, Qing Yun can guarantee that the incident has already happened.

Wang Xuehong, who originally wanted to practice Tai Chi calmly, her face changed when she heard this.

She didn't expect that the extraordinary measures she had taken for the company's technological advancement might now become a time bomb.

She had just settled the infringement lawsuits against Intel and MediaTek, and before she had time to catch her breath, this matter was about to break out again.

Qing Yun continued, his tone becoming more serious, “From what I know, D-link has already obtained some key evidence.

Including some communication records between Zhang Zhihao and VIA Technologies, as well as some technical information.

Once this evidence is made public, the consequences will be disastrous.”

Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi looked at each other and saw the anxiety in each other's eyes.

They knew that if this matter was not properly resolved, VIA's future would be in jeopardy.

Wang Yongqing also frowned, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

Chen Wenqi's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said angrily, "Zhang Zhihao is a traitor!"

After saying that, he put his five fingers together like a knife and looked at his father-in-law inquiringly.

Once this matter is exposed, it will be a fatal blow to VIA Electronics. According to this statement, both he and Wang Xuehong will have to go to jail.

Qing Yun, who was standing next to him, was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing this.

Well, it is indeed a small island.

The solution to the problem is so simple, efficient and crude...

He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, the most disadvantageous situation for you now is not Zhang Zhihao's testimony, but..."

The testimony of a tainted witness is not irrefutable. It is just one person's opinion, and lawyers have plenty of ways to resolve the issue.

Qing Yun scratched his hair and said with a constipated look, "While Zhang Zhihao was working at D-Link, VIA continued to pay his salary.

At the same time, Zhang Zhihao continued to participate in VIA's employee welfare plan and received labor insurance benefits from VIA every month.

In other words, from this fact, Zhang Zhihao did not leave VIA. "

What can he say about this?
This is as funny as an undercover agent being discovered because of social security, housing provident fund.

Emperor Yun always thought this was a joke.

But what he never expected was that he underestimated the nature of this world's makeshift team, and this absurd thing happened in reality.

Once this information came out, even the Kojima prosecutors at the time could not cover it up.

When Wang Yongqing heard this, an absurd look appeared on his face.

What should he say?

You said your daughter and son-in-law are really nice to their employees?!
Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi lowered their heads, wishing they could burrow into the ground.

This kind of thing is so embarrassing that there is no way to defend it.

But Emperor Yun did not give them a chance to relax and continued to poke their lungs.

"There is another thing. On the VIA website, there are several instructions for router-related products on the download page of the technical support center. After downloading and unzipping, they are directly the instructions of D-Link, and even the name has not been changed."

"Ah?! Impossible!" Wang Xuehong was stunned.

Qingyun pointed at the security guard not far away and said, "You can verify it." Chen Wenqi's face turned pale and he asked the security guard to get the computer.

Generally speaking, normal people will not go to the website to look for electronic manuals. They will only look for them when they encounter problems and need to check them.

VIA Technologies' involvement in the router business began after Zhang Zhihao returned to VIA Technologies from D-Link in August 2001.

Once a router is set up, it will not be easily changed.

It has only been two years so the chance of being discovered is indeed very small.

Therefore, VIA in its previous life did not discover this mistake until it was sued.

After hearing this, Wang Yongqing felt a surge of disappointment when he saw the computer page brought by the security guard.

He always pays attention to details and was incredulous about his daughter and son-in-law's mistake.

In his opinion, the use of corporate espionage in business competition is not a big problem, but such an obvious mistake makes him feel extremely ridiculous.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Yongqing stomped his cane hard, his voice filled with anger.
"How could you make such an obvious mistake? You sent spies there, but you still paid their salaries on time and continued to participate in the employee welfare plan. What is this? And this instruction manual! It's stupid!"

Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi were scolded so much that they lowered their heads, their faces full of shame.

Logically speaking, such detailed operations should not be the responsibility of the chairman and general manager.

But this just reflects the chaos in the company's decision-making mechanism and internal management.

Especially since the manual doesn’t even change the company name…

If you want to put an electronic manual online, even if no one translates it, it should at least go through several levels of review.

In the current situation, we can only say that these multiple levels of review have all become invalid.

What is above the water is only a small part of the iceberg, and there is countless more hidden below the sea level.

But more of a look of anxiety.

When Wang Yongqing looked at his daughter and son-in-law, he felt even more disappointed.

Although he knew that people would inevitably panic when they were in danger, his daughter and son-in-law had abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

but……

Comparing yourself to others will make you angry.

Wang Yongqing also felt annoyed by the 18-year-old boy sitting next to him.

"Qingyun, if you have any suggestions, just tell me."

There was a hint of fatigue in Wang Yongqing's voice, but he still maintained the composure of an elder.

It is no use blaming them now, the key is to find a way to solve the problem.

Since Qing Yun dared to use this matter to exchange for benefits, there will naturally be a solution.

Qing Yun nodded and began to explain his plan.

This incident is a crisis for VIA Technologies and an opportunity for him.

What he needs to do now is to seize this opportunity and gain the greatest benefit for himself.

"Since Zhang Zhihao has become a tainted witness, why don't we just put the blame on him?"

Qing Yun's voice was very calm, but it carried an unquestionable confidence.

“We can take the initiative to report Zhang Zhihao’s misconduct and steal D-Link’s technology as a way to get promoted.

This is not uncommon in cases of corporate espionage, and we can emphasize that VIA was a victim, deceived by a disloyal employee.”

There was a glimmer of cunning in Qing Yun's eyes. He knew that the solution he proposed seemed ridiculous to everyone present.

“Think about the Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola pairing last year!
What do you think? Did Pepsi take the initiative to report the case and return the formula, or was this a trap set by Coca-Cola that Pepsi saw through?
Or were the two spies originally from Pepsi, and Pepsi just realized something was wrong and quickly tried to remedy the situation?"

At this point, Emperor Yun spread his hands and said, "What is the truth? Who knows? But among these three possibilities, society needs the first possibility more."

Wang Yongqing frowned, as if weighing the feasibility of this plan.

Wang Xuehong and Chen Wenqi looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Qing Yun to come up with such a strategy.

The two exchanged glances, and each read shock and hesitation in the other's eyes.

They knew it was a bold plan, but it might be the only way out.

but……

"But will others believe it?" Chen Wenqi was a little skeptical. "How do we explain the salary we paid to Zhang Zhihao?"

Qing Yun shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "The company is too big, who would care about the salary of an employee?

The salary system was wrong, the HR department made mistakes, the handling staff and Zhang Zhihao colluded with each other...

We will use whichever explanation the prosecution prefers.

The point is that we discovered the problem, took the initiative to correct it, and asked for back pay.”

"You are treating others as fools." Chen Wenqi sneered, obviously not buying into Qingyun's proposal.

"Even if we put the blame on Zhang Zhihao, what about the evidence? The communication records and information in D-Link's hands are enough to prove our relationship with Zhang Zhihao."

Qing Yun didn't care. He shook his finger and said seriously,

"Whether others believe it or not is their business, the key point is whether the prosecutor believes it or not?
If he doesn't believe it, can't you make him believe it? If you can't even do this...

Mr. Chen, tsk tsk... don't insult your own IQ."

Chen Wenqi was stunned. He didn't expect Qingyun to say that.

The young man's teasing eyes were like sharp needles that pierced his self-esteem.

But it unexpectedly woke him up.

Chen Wenqi felt his cheeks getting hot, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He lost his temper.

Having been in the business world for many years, he had seen all kinds of ups and downs, but he lost his composure in front of this young man.

He knew in his heart that this loss of composure was not entirely due to Qing Yun's plan itself, but more because of Qing Yun as a person.

Qing Yun is too young, but at this moment he is chatting and talking with his father-in-law who is respected as the "God of Business".

He was jealous of Qing Yun's youth, his talent, and the fact that he could discuss business matters on equal terms with his father-in-law, Wang Yongqing.

He originally thought that they were both son-in-laws...

Chen Wenqi smiled bitterly and bowed to Qing Yun, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qing, I lost my composure just now.

You're right, if we can't convince the prosecutors that we're the right person to sit here and discuss this issue."

Wang Yongqing next to him had a fleeting smile on his face and a hint of approval in his eyes.

He knew that Chen Wenqi was a capable person, but it was only a moment of jealousy that made him lose his mind.

But now, he has adjusted himself and is considering the issue from the perspective of the family again.

There's no way. There are geniuses in this world. There's no need to be hard on yourself.
