Chapter 76: Learning to Refuse
Maybe this is the way for a person to grow up after all, and many times, people can't refuse because of the problem of face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it comes to getting along with people, it's far easier to accept than to reject. However, if you respond to your needs just for the sake of temporary soft-heartedness, timidity, or face problems, it may lead to endless future troubles. Because you may not be able to afford it, you may not be able to afford it, and the consequences will be harmful.
Li Chen knew that once he agreed, the consequence would be that the staff of Wuji Software would lose their freedom, and Wuji Software would become one of the service providers of the military, so his Yisou, ICQ and Cat Mall could only survive in China, and no country allowed a network service provider with a military background to collect information and materials in their own country.
Li Chen's unexpected refusal immediately stunned the Führer and the others, and once again, Li Chen's reaction exceeded the psychologist's assessment.
This kid actually learned to overturn his promises and learn to refuse, which surprised the old people who were already in control of everything.
"Li Chen, but you have already agreed just now." Xiao Ying had a good relationship with Li Chen at this time, and asked faintly.
"Was it because I didn't think that you were going to control the people involved in this project, and I was going to be controlled too? How do you control the foreign experts of my group? Now that the words have been spoken, Li Chen simply let go of his heart knot, or rather, broke the jar and fell back.
"But you've already said yes." Xiao Ying still insisted on this, the first time he saw Li Chen, he didn't admit what he said, and he felt that if he forced it, Li Chen should accept it in the way of face. In this way, the state can regain a certain degree of voice in Wuji Technology.
"Well, now that I've refused, I always have the right to say no. What's more, just now it was just an intention, and everyone said their own conditions. The conditions I can think of now are: the project fund is 2 billion meters, and I will charge an additional 400 million meters for services. The state keeps the existence of this project secret, I keep the identities of the people involved in the project confidential, and I register a short company to deal with the project contract, as for the rest, I think of it and add it, is there a problem? ”
Li Chen was simply tough to the end, and the anger in his heart couldn't come out.
Alas, still inexperienced!
At this time, Old Karl, who had been standing next to Li Chen and did not speak, quietly gave Li Chen a thumbs up to praise Li Chen's performance at this time.
The original purpose of the Führer and others was to use this elite to control the Wuji software in their hands, 2.4 billion meters of gold, it is better to let the experts in the army carry out research and development, so that the secrecy is higher and is conducive to later maintenance. Seeing that Li Chen had escaped from the trap and could not do anything, the Führer winked very covertly at the speaker and signaled to end the topic.
Unexpectedly, although Li Chen still guarded his bottom line, he did not use his mental power to probe the thoughts of several people. At this time, he was very vigilant and shrouded everyone present in the scope of his force field, and every move of the head of state and the others at this time was observed by Li Chen without any obstacles.
A group of old foxes, sure enough, were premeditated. Li Chen muttered secretly in his heart, becoming more and more cautious.
However, this is also a rare opportunity, "The best way to grow quickly is to throw yourself on the battlefield" This sentence is a common saying in the Rice Empire, Li Chen thinks about it now, and it really makes sense in it.
"Well, since there is a problem with the identity of the personnel, it involves foreigners, and it is really not suitable to participate in the military project. Let's think about it again. The Speaker really had a good understanding with the Führer, and after receiving the Führer's hint, he immediately opened his mouth to stop the topic in this regard.
"By the way, Li Chen, we have already dealt with the matter of the nuclear power group, and we have re-selected a general manager in the society, and in the future, we will adopt the method of open recruitment in large state-owned enterprises like this, and the government will only send the organization department and the discipline department. The CFO you sent is currently working in the capacity of Group Vice President and CFO, so there should be no problem. ”
Dean Qin immediately followed the pre-arranged order and eased the atmosphere with a relatively relaxed matter. I was a little nervous just now, and one relaxation is the way of civil and martial arts.
"Hehe, thank you Mr. Gu and all of you, as long as we ensure the due interests of our family, there are due dividends every year, and the family believes in the wisdom of your government for the management of the enterprise." Carl looked at Dean Qin with a smile and said, The meaning is very clear, I don't care what you do, but you must share dividends, don't make it look bad if you don't have money in the end.
"The handling of dividends and investment will definitely seek Mr. Li Chen's opinion at that time." Dean Qin was not easy to mess with, so he hid the needle in the mianli and pushed it back.
"Well, in the future, the young master's investment, except for Mr. Li Quanshan's Taiji Group and Li Zhongqun's Wuji Technology Group, you can communicate with me directly about everything. Since the young master believes in the Habsburg family, then our family must also do our best to share the worries of the young master, and there is no need to trouble the young master for some small things. Carl still smiled and said, Li Chen also nodded beside him, indicating that Carl would come forward to solve these things in the future.
"Okay, Duke Karl and I are also old friends, I hope to have a happy cooperation in the future!" The Führer couldn't do anything, and before finding out the true situation of Old Carl's appearance beside Li Chen, the Führer chose to wait and see for the time being, after all, before the situation was unclear, any conflict was unnecessary.
"Don't dare, Mr. Gu is polite, Carl is just an old man serving the young master."
Li Chen looked at Old Carl with a smile, seriously understanding the subtleties of Chinese. Well, is Arnold's language indoctrination so advantageous? How do you think old Calby himself can speak?
"By the way, Li Chen, you said last time that you wanted to invest in XZ, because the matter was in a hurry and you haven't talked about it yet, is it an introduction this time?"
The dean could only change the conversation again. The Führer and the Speaker glanced at each other helplessly, nothing was found today, this Carl appeared at an inopportune time, and there was no flaw at all. It's really an old fox who has cultivated to perfection......
"Oh, it's the same plan as at XJ, but ...... Now I have invested in a clean power group in Almaty, so let's forget about it for the time being, and wait until I think of any good projects. Li Chen shrugged his shoulders, and the implication was that you didn't meet my conditions.
"We can buy electricity from the power plant in Almaty to support your investment." The dean hurriedly threw out the bait.
"Oh, no, the family has more investment plans in Almaty, and it is estimated that their domestic electricity will not be enough by then, so they will definitely not sell electricity to China." Li Chen thought about the think tank's plan for Kazakhstan, shook his head, and rejected the dean's kindness.
"You want to increase investment in Kazakhstan?"
The dean did not pay attention to the problem of electricity, because his attention was all attracted by more investment plans. Increasing investment in other countries, coupled with the already investment in Southeast Asia, will inevitably affect Li Chen's investment in China. This is something that the dean does not like to see.
"Yes, the world is so big, I can't concentrate my investment in one country, not to mention that the purpose of my investment in building an energy company in Alabtu is just to prepare for the next industrial investment. As for domestic investment, it is estimated that it will be slowed down, after all, you said last time that the state of the company I invest in must have a stake, and there is a serious disagreement between us on this point. Li Chen said slowly, thinking about it, not wanting to leave a trace of the handle.
The dean's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but the old Karl interjected on the side: "Strictly speaking, the family business is not allowed to accept external investment. The Tai Chi Group is relatively special, it is a personal asset under the name of Young Master Li Chen, and the family is also grateful to the Li family for taking in Young Master Chen at a critical moment, so it will not interfere with the Young Master's intentions on the Tai Chi Group. Sifang Electronics and nuclear power technology, the young master was very insistent at that time, and the people of the family agreed to your participation, but now it seems that the results are not ideal. So ......, sorry. ”
"Li Chen, Duke Karl, I know what happened last time, which made the Leader family wary. But our government has made timely corrections, and I hope that we can all face tomorrow and look forward to the future. Seeing that the situation was not good at this time, the Führer simply left the specific affairs and devoted himself to a heart-to-heart talk.
"Mr. Ku is right, we should indeed look to the future. In the future, the family will continue to increase investment in China, both in terms of capital and technology, and the family also hopes that China can take off and enter a more advanced civilization with Europe. But Hua Guo needs to have real efforts and the pursuit of himself, instead of pinning his hopes on Young Master Chen's side, such as operating system ......" Carl said a few words lightly, and then looked at Li Chen, because he didn't have a bottom in his own heart, would it make Young Master unhappy if he said this.
Seeing Carl's performance, Li Chen nodded slightly, which can be regarded as agreeing with Carl's statement, and it is also Li Chen's idea to make Huaguo self-reliant, otherwise he wants to take shortcuts in everything, and it is better to conquer it directly.
"Führer, old Karl is a European after all, and he speaks more directly, so you are more considerate. But let me tell you a story. ”
"Oh, I love to hear you tell stories, tell me about it."
The Führer's eyes lit up, and he understood what Carl meant, which was nothing more than accusing himself of calculating Li Chen. The Führer did not deny this, but he considered himself to have a clear conscience. Hearing that Li Chen was going to tell a story, the head of state felt that Li Chen definitely did not belong to the untargeted, it was good to listen to it, this little guy could bring some thoughts every time he told a story.
Li Chen then told in detail the beginning and end of the conflict between himself in Lijia Village and the villagers of Lijia Village, especially with Li Dahai. In the end, Li Chen said with emotion: "I think the most terrible thing in this world is the human heart, one is not satisfied, the other is ungrateful, and the other likes to take shortcuts." What do you think? As the old saying goes: Do you really want to do this? Elders, why do you teach me? ”
After listening to Li Chen's story, the head of state, the speaker, the dean and others looked at each other, their hearts were very heavy, and they wanted to speak, but they didn't know what to say.
Many of his own practices are indeed a bit excessive, although from his own point of view, these things can be explained, but from Li Chen's point of view, these things are a little too deceitful, a feeling that kindness is not rewarded.
Think about it from He Li Chen's contact, a large amount of military science and technology to help catch traitors, save poisonous snakes, and respond to his own requirements to increase the scale of investment in the west, but what did you get? Rounds of being deceived by his own subordinates, and facing his own calculations, until today, he is still trying to get more on Li Chen's side, and as a result, Li Chen's family came to a Carl. Feng. Habsburg, Li Chen himself didn't know why, he suddenly learned to refuse, and now he directly blamed himself more directly.
Could it be that this incident with Sifang Electronics has broken his heart?
The Führer and the others secretly thought to themselves, and their hearts were cold. This is a problem for .......
"Li Chen, you also know some things in the past, our intentions are not bad, and we haven't thought about doing anything out of the ordinary to you, it's just because of mistakes in employing people that we hurt you again and again. Of course, I also admit that we are indeed a little anxious for quick success, but from our point of view, the country has been weak for a long time, and finally there is a chance to take off, so we try our best to seize it, and there are people who are too anxious in our hearts. But we don't know how to be grateful, and we remember all the friends who have helped us. The Führer decided to use the old routine and admit to each other.
"Führer, you're polite, I don't mean anything else."
Li Chen instinctively wanted to explain, but suddenly thought of his original purpose, coupled with the choice of the head of state and others when choosing whether to trust or not, Li Chen immediately continued: "However, there are some things, it's not that I don't care about it at all, but I just suppress it in my heart. Of course, the state must not trust a stabilizer like me, and I know this very well. The regime is sure that everything is under control, and it doesn't like any variables, and I'm just that. ”
"What do you want? We've already apologized. ”
Wu Shuai finally couldn't help it, originally he was dissatisfied with Li Chen, but because Li Chen rescued Wu Yuwei, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart, originally his task today was to take the opportunity to express his gratitude to Li Chen and ease the relationship with Li Chen, but seeing that Li Chen seemed to have changed, he finally couldn't help it.
"You see, this is the attitude of your high-level management, condescending to think that all mistakes can be made up for with a few nice words, and apologize to treat the past as if it didn't happen? Is this the thunder, rain and dew all the emperor's grace? I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to be a carefree person, and I didn't want to continue to take on things that I shouldn't have to bear. Li Chen glanced at Wu Shuai expressionlessly, then turned his head and said to the Führer: "I have made up for the weakness in the military, I have also taken action in the network strategy, and I have also cooperated with the development of the western region. Don't say that those who can work harder, I've helped enough, but what have I got? Is it money, gratitude, or what......? Nothing but endless harassment and coercion comes responsibility, who am I? A businessman, not a national leader, I'm fed up with this kind of life! ”
Li Chen decided to do things according to the advice of the think tank.
In the plan of the think tank, if the country chooses not to trust Li Chen 100%, then Li Chen will completely step back from the role of selfless help, and there are many ways to help a country become strong, Li Chen was too anxious and direct in the past, which made him suspicious of the head of state.
It is better to take this opportunity to withdraw, so that Huaguo can further develop in the technology that has been obtained, and in addition to ensuring the leading position of Huaguo in a few fields, he will control the periphery of Huaguo in his hands first, and the domestic will be slowly planned......
As Li Chen finished speaking, silence became the dominant tone in the living room, and everyone had no idea of continuing to speak.
The head of state didn't know what to say all of a sudden, so it was reasonable, Li Chen had indeed done a lot, and it seemed a little unrealistic to continue to let this young man support him as usual, so he could only blame himself, he valued Li Chen in his heart but did not pay enough attention to Li Chen in actual action. Although Xiao Ying has been concentrating on dealing with Li Chen's peripheral affairs, he has also successfully avoided a lot of external interference. But no one thought that Li Chen was not harassed by the outside world, but frequently suffered from various uses and frauds within the system, which was something that even the head of the Yuan could not think of, and Xiao Ying could not guard against many things.
"In this way, Li Chen, I know you are still angry, I once said that we will come for a long time." The Führer pondered for a long time, and finally set the tone for today's talks.
"Hehe, there's no need to continue to worry about me, I can't afford to worry about you. In a few days, I will leave China and go to Southeast Asia, where there are many islands, primeval forests, and beautiful girls, I can relax well. ”
Li Chen looked very happy, looking like the sky was high and the birds were flying. The head of state, the speaker of parliament, and the president looked at each other a few times, but at this time, what can they say?
By the way, Li Zhongqun is in charge of the affairs of the Wuji Fund, and all the contacts with Europe, including the nuclear power group, the military data, and the follow-up investment management in China, are all in charge of Carl. It's just that Carl can't be seen in the outside world, so you should call as much as possible. ”
"When are you going to go back home? School is about to start. ”
"I'm not in the mood to read now, come back before the product launch of Wuji Technology, after all, this news has already been released to the public. I like this set of Li Mansion very much, and I won't let him be empty. Li Chen listened to the Führer's inquiry about the time of return, and knew that they were worried that they would never return.
"Can there be a phone call that can find you?" Xiao Ying was a little anxious when he heard Li Chen's intention to stay outside for a long time.
"Just call my home." Li Chen still didn't give his phone to Xiao Ying, it was mainly a matter of habit, in Rice, everyone uses their own brains to contact the outside world and friends, who still carries a walk-around with them.
"But you can't be reached on your home phone?" Xiao Ying was a little angry, and faintly felt in his heart that whether Li Chen's home phone could find him was not because Li Chen was not with the phone, but because Li Chen wanted to contact him.
"Well, let's leave a message. As for when to find me, it's up to you. ”
