"Mr. Zhuang, you have also seen that this rice company is really relying on its position to forcefully oppress our company. I have no choice but to file a complaint."
Gu Qing's tone on the phone was indifferent but also a little sad and angry. Of course, he even called him Mr. Zhuang.
Zhuang Youwei took a cursory look at the content and sighed: "This is an internal problem within the rice company. From the information you found, Zhang Lu from the Home Appliances Department asked the navy to discredit you and communicate with their executives. Have you passed?"
"The contact person between their group and our company, Zhang De, has been plastering cement and swaying him. I have no choice but to complain to you. I will report and complain tomorrow. Hand over the documents.
If the officials in Chengdu don't care, then I will go to the higher-ups. There must be a place for reasoning in this world. "
Boss Gu’s words even contained a hint of “childlike innocence”.
Zhuang Youwei was stunned. Although he started his career in scientific research, he was also one of the top executives in Harbin Industrial Group. Naturally, he had seen intrigues in shopping malls.
As for the rice company's invitation to the navy this time, it's really not a big deal, because this matter is usually resolved privately, or ignored. After all, this kind of thing is brought to light and the skin is broken. Then everyone will do it in the future. Are you still cooperating? How should partners in the supply chain take sides?
Moreover, the official fate of Daxia often puts pressure on the industry, which can easily hurt innocent people and cause trouble.
This Gu Qing doesn't look like he is stingy, so what does he want to do?
After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Youwei asked: "Then you show me these things just to complain?"
Of course, these words sounded like they meant to help.
Gu Qing replied: "We have started cooperating after all, and the money has been transferred to our company's account. Aren't you afraid of losing money? The decline in product sales is not important, but the brand has been stained, and even my reputation has been stained. Get dirty, that's important!
In this life, I, Gu Qing, will have to fight for my reputation even if I don’t steam steamed buns!
I was also wondering if Harbin Industrial Group could help me. I heard that you have a lot of factories in the Northeast. Do you have any spare ones? If I can’t survive in Sichuan, I will come to you. Good job. "
"Okay, okay, I'll ask someone to ask you what's going on. You can be considered the boss of a big company, so don't be like a thorn in the side."
Gu Qing, who was on the other end of the phone, heard this and went down the ramp to say thank you. Zhuang Youwei then hung up the phone.
Yanjing Colorful City, rice company headquarters.
Lei Jun, who had just returned to Yanjing from Shenzhen, was sitting in his office chair, tired but in good spirits.
On November 5, the first flagship store of Rice Home opened in Shenzhen, marking the beginning of a new retail path for Rice. Rice is now more than just a mobile phone manufacturer. Rice Mall has now become a top-ranked e-commerce platform. It also incubated Mijia Youpin, and today’s rice-building ecology is gradually showing its pattern.
Lei Jun has been running around during this period, building relationships, and personally contacting major suppliers, just so that Rice House can take the first step steadily.
Looking at it now, this step has been taken successfully.
Since deciding to launch an IPO in the first half of 2018, he and other senior executives have been working hard to optimize the supply chain.
Instead of Zhou Ping, he personally took charge of the supply chain, went to Goryeo to visit Han Xing, and invited Zhang Feng, the founder of Zimi Technology, a rice ecological chain company who once worked for Inhuada, to take charge of the rice supply chain system. The chain problem was gradually resolved.
In order to have more profitable projects, since last year, Lei Jun has teamed up with other executives to develop offline channels, overseas markets, etc. Finally, in 2016, Rice finally achieved positive profits - a profit of 491.6 million yuan.
The recent good progress in several major projects, coupled with the excellent performance of this year's Mi 6 and the good response of MIX 2 in the mid-to-high-end market.
Although busy and tiring, the bright future is getting closer.
But there was a phone call just now that made him feel that the cleaning up of middle management was still incomplete.
As for the company's own problems, he actually knew that the middle management was in disarray and employee benefits were gradually declining, but this was like scraping away the poison, it was too troublesome.
At the end of 2016, his co-founders and senior executives purged a group of managers. If they purge another group at this time, it will inevitably destroy the company's internal stability, and some of the company's executives have connections to stabilize the supply chain, so this is true. A little tricky.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
Lei Jun nodded, and then the secretary opened the office door.
Zhang Lu walked into the big boss's office calmly.
The first thing you see when you enter the door is the sofa and coffee table, and the desk is on the right.
The layout of the office is very simple, which can be said to be pragmatic and engineering style.
"Mr. Lei."
Zhang Lu didn't dare to look at it carefully at all, and his expression was extremely humble.
"Manager Zhang, is this your first time coming to my office?"
"Well, I just took over Manager Liu's shift. Thank you to the company for trusting me."
Lei Jun rubbed his temples and observed the seemingly humble manager in front of him.
“I used to hope that Rice would be a small company, because I had a headache when I saw big companies. When I was working at Jinshan, I turned a small company into a big company. The management was very strict, with various levels, KPIs, summaries, reports, and plans.
After I retired for a few years, when I started running a company again, I felt that this type of thing was boring. So I started a company that doesn’t require brainwashing, meetings, KPIs, or clocking in.
But I have let go of my supervision and given you a stage to display your talents. I am not asking you to find your own partners behind my back. "
At the end of the sentence, Lei Jun's voice became colder and colder.
Zhang Lu was awakened by the last sentence. He didn't know that the little tricks he did in private had been revealed.
He suppressed his inner emotions, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lei, if I don't do this, our investment in those two projects will be in vain."
"Then why didn't you report it?"
When Zhang Lu heard Lei Jun's question, his thoughts were swirling in his mind.
He vented this action on the executives who came last time.
And Mr. Lei actually doesn’t know? !
Should he say it at this moment?
Will there be any benefit from speaking out? Or how bad will it be...
When adults encounter problems about themselves, their first reaction is often to consider interests.
Zhang Lu even speculated in his heart that his big boss might have known what he was doing, but if he didn't tell him, he would kick him out when something went wrong, so that he could save both face and face.
If nothing goes wrong, everyone is happy.
