Chapter 14: Verbal Sword
When he came to Wang Xu's apartment with the little girl at the front desk again, and when he took down the pinhole camera, Tang Liang was in a somewhat complicated mood, so he simply sat down on the chair and lit a cigarette.
Wang Xu's value to him is becoming less and less now, and the original intention of installing the camera is to grasp Wang Xu's secrets, so as to control him for my use, but now he is more and more aware that Wang Xu is moving his hands and feet behind Ma Lan's back, and Ma Lan is very likely to know it, but he still needs this dog to guard the yard for the time being, so he can't bear it, and he turns a blind eye.
With Wang Xu's IQ and scheming, she is not Ma Lan's opponent at all, this woman used to be underestimated by everyone, and they all thought that she just seduced the big boss Li Qi with her beauty, but in fact, Ma Lan's scheming methods are not comparable to ordinary people at all. She has such a talent for business, why should she endure the burden and work as a commercial spy in Jinlan Company for three years before making a move.
This ambitious woman is as mysterious and unpredictable as a fog, Tang Liang is curious at the same time, but also secretly admires her.
The high-level meeting of Jinlan Company came as scheduled, and this time it was not only the shareholders of the board of directors, but also all the middle and senior employees of the company who attended the meeting. In Li Qi's words, enterprises are on the verge of life and death, and they need to work together to tide over the difficulties.
"Everyone is here, so let's talk openly and honestly. At present, the difficulties faced by the company believe that everyone knows in their hearts, the product sales are not smooth, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, the company's assets are shrinking and depreciating, everyone is in a boat, and I sincerely hope that everyone can put forward practical solutions, rather than pouring cold water and saying frustrating words. ”
Li Qi's opening remarks were very straightforward and full of fighting spirit, which shows that he still has great hopes in his heart. But other people have different minds, each has its own little abacus, everyone look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first to come out.
"Why, don't you have anything to say? Don't you all talk a lot in private, but when you really let everyone speak freely, you don't squeak. ”
Li Qi was very disappointed and annoyed, his morale-boosting words were like a fart, and no one listened to them at all.
"No one wants to see a company get to this point, but this is a pain that every company must go through in the process of development. I am very sad, when the company is good, everyone is very motivated, but when we encounter some difficulties, it shows that our company lacks cohesion, everyone plans for themselves, and no one wants to grow with the company. No, it's only been a long time since the basic salary was abolished, and most of the people in the sales positions have left, which is really sad. ”
A board member jumped out and expressed his displeasure with the departed. But this is really not level, and when the company is good, it doesn't see how good welfare benefits are given to employees, and it is the shareholders of the board of directors who really make a lot of money. Why haven't you seen you dilute your shares to key members, eat meat alone, and dump it to others when you carry the black pot?
"As the CEO in charge of operations, I have the main responsibility that cannot be shirked, I lack the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, I do not manage the team well, and I do not fundamentally solve the problem and find a way out. If the theme of this meeting is to find someone to take responsibility, then I will carry this pot. Ma Lan stood up and spoke and took the initiative to take responsibility, which won the hearts of many people.
Then the people here began to express their opinions, one by one fierce words, arguing with each other, but there is only one purpose, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the company's problems have long been exposed, and they have also put forward constructive suggestions, but unfortunately no one pays attention to adopt, and it is too late to regret it. All in all, I am sad, but it has nothing to do with me.
Looking at the smoky venue, Tang Liang felt very ridiculous and ridiculous. Where is this offering advice, it is clearly a dumping meeting, and they are all eager to clear their responsibilities, and it is a joke to help each other in the same boat.
Li Qi was very depressed and powerless, and wanted to get angry and scold his mother, but he didn't know where to start. Looking at the people in front of him who chose themselves one by one, Li Qi suddenly felt desperate, no one was really willing to advance and retreat with him at the critical moment, everyone betrayed their relatives and left, everyone was looking for a way out, waiting to break up and share assets at any time. But who can blame this, as the helmsman, he did not control the overall situation, cronyism, listened to slander, and lost his enterprising spirit and sense of crisis, otherwise he would not have come to this point.
"Enough, don't say any more. According to your intentions, the company is about to go bankrupt, and while the land equipment and fixed assets of the factory are still worth some money, quickly sell the company at a low price, and make a little profit, right? ”
Li Qi was furious, although he was old and had no fighting spirit, but the business sea had been up and down for many years, how could he not see through everyone's wishful thinking?
"Tang Liang, you have been working in Jinlan for more than eight years, you are an old courtier of the company, and you have just been promoted to vice president of marketing, tell me, where should Jinlan go?"
Li Qi began to order, the people he used to reuse and favored have betrayed him openly and secretly, and only the newly reused Tang Liang's posture is still unclear.
"Your previous statements are very reasonable, to the point, and the company's main problems have been analyzed thoroughly, and I really have nothing to say. The only thing I can say is that as long as Jin Lan doesn't think I'm a burden and doesn't drive me away, I'm willing to live and die with the company. ”
Nothing to say now can't fundamentally solve the problem, Tang Liang is very clear about his positioning, he doesn't want to fall into the ground, all he can do is to protect himself.
"What is the difference between saying this and not saying it, the company is almost gone, how can you live and die with the company? Convening a meeting is to seek a solution to the problem, who will not shirk responsibility, and who will not understand if you sing a high profile. Tang Liang, you'd better not play tricks, what do you think, just tell the truth. ”
In Tang Liang, Li Qi suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, although it was very slim, but at this time it seemed precious.
"Well, I'm going to be blunt. The company's crisis did not start this year, but there was a sign for a long time, but when the environment was good, everyone thought that the problem was not big, and now all the sequelae broke out in a concentrated manner, and such a situation will appear. ”
"What is the sign? You've already figured out the problem, why didn't you say it earlier, now it's an afterthought. The financial manager is neither soft nor hard.
Tang Liang coughed and continued: "Our product line is aging, the products produced cannot keep up with the times, and the R&D capability is stagnant, so the competitiveness has been declining. I raised these things to the board of directors and Mr. Ma at the beginning, but then there was no follow-up, and it was not resolved. On the other hand, Yulan, who seized our market, although the quality of their products is average, but the style is very novel, and they are willing to invest in marketing and promotion, so when Yulan began to exert force, we were caught off guard. I'm afraid that the main responsibility lies at the decision-making level, and the sales department does not carry this pot. ”
