Chapter 335: Money, Money!
After leaving the new materials research and development center, Zhang Lan received a call from the president of the federal government. In principle, as the new chairman of the Imperial Group, he should have called the president first.
But also because of the relationship between the president and Gu Xuan, as well as the various disgusting things that happened in Eden at the beginning, Zhang Lan deliberately ignored it, waiting for this guy to take the initiative to come to him.
The current president of the federal government is named Solomon, and he is a little-known person in the federal elite circle, not to mention the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, even if the ancestral tomb is on fire, this guy is not qualified to become the president.
It was Gu Xuan who used his connections and money to open the way for him to send him to this high position.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Gu Xuan's dog, and Gu Xuan doesn't need to be chained at all, and he doesn't dare to have any second thoughts about Gu Xuan.
But if there is a second option, he is also reluctant to call Zhang Lan, but Zhang Lan is succeeded by the chairman of the Imperial Group, and not contacting the federal government is a big matter to die.
So helpless, Solomon still sent a greeting, "Lord Zhang Lan, I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't imagine that you have become the new chairman of the Imperial Group, it's really gratifying, congratulations!" ”
"Thanks to Mr. President's love, I also took over this huge group by chance, because I am new to the city, and it is indeed busy now, otherwise I will take the initiative to call you." Zhang Lan is also very sophisticated in her official tone.
"It's understandable, it's completely understandable, Lord Zhang Lan should be the busiest time now, and my call is the one who is disturbing. I wonder how long Master Zhang Lan has to deal with the initial matters? "President Solomon was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. President, is there anything important about this?" Zhang Lan also asked knowingly.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but in principle, the Imperial Group belongs to the regional contract management model, and the new chairman needs to go to the federal government to make a debriefing report, of course, this will not have any impact on your power, just go through a form." President Solomon looked like he was afraid that Zhang Lan would not come.
In fact, he should really be afraid, after all, the last time Zhang Lan made such an unpleasant fuss on Eden Island, and was even characterized as a wanted criminal against humanity, he was escorted away.
Others may not know, but Zhang Lan knows that all this is done by Gu Xuan and the president, and he has 10,000 reasons to refuse. But this is an outcome that Solomon cannot afford, and the federal government today is nothing more than a show-up, maintaining the illusion of being a hypocritical steward of the planet.
The point in time when this illusion is shattered is when the major groups do not treat them as the same thing.
If Zhang Lan doesn't go, it will be the beginning of ruin.
"Mr. President, don't say that, the federal government, as the sole governing body of the planet, deserves to know more about my situation. No matter how busy I am, I have to do it myself. You can rest assured, I will finish the work at hand in 2 days, and come to Eden as soon as possible to report on my work, and I hope that Mr. President will forgive me. Zhang Lan uncharacteristically agreed, and was honestly afraid.
"Huh? Lord Zhang Lan really has a heart! Sure enough, people like you who do great things are generally knowledgeable.,Okay.,I'll notify the chairmen of the major groups.,Come to Eden in 2 days.,Congratulations on the promotion of Lord Zhang Lan.。 Solomon smiled like a flower.
"Then Mr. President Lao will bother, and Zhang Lan will not delay Mr. President's precious time here, see you in two days." Zhang Lan hung up the communication.
"What are you doing in such a hurry to Eden? According to the rules, it doesn't matter if you can go back to work after 1 month. Alice wondered.
"Some people can't wait that long, because of my relationship, the border between the Overlord Group and the Sunset Group is now in a state of truce, and if it is not resolved immediately, if it drags on a little, they will return to a state of war. The state of the Sunset Group is not very good, and if the fight continues, Mark will break his muscles and bones, and even the Loose City will be dragged into the quagmire of war. "This is something that Zhang Lan definitely doesn't want to see.
"But I didn't have time to prepare so soon, and I don't know what conspiracy Gu Xuan and Solomon will have, after all, they all want you to die so much." Alice said worriedly.
"When I succeeded as chairman of the Imperial Group, I was no longer the one they could kill if they wanted to. Besides, I also wanted to meet Gu Xuan in person, and now he had to chat with me calmly. Zhang Lan said as she sorted out the cuff studs.
In the next two days, Zhang Lan has been doing the integration of resources within the Imperial Group District, cutting or merging a department almost every 2 hours, simplifying the management level and costs, and the idle officials are implementing a competitive system, and whoever the position belongs to depends on whose work efficiency is higher.
There is no need for the intervention of the Tianyan host at all, these officials are working as hard as if they were fighting chicken blood, and some even give up their paid annual leave and all rest in the past, and even moved their beds to the office building to receive the grassroots people in person.
These leaders finally lost their official positions and began to bend over to do their own work, and their work efficiency was even 1 times higher than when they used chips to manage in the past.
In addition to speeding up work efficiency, he also arrested several officials who had major dereliction of duty, the so-called dereliction of duty is not corruption, but more power for the benefit of his own consortium, and even rampant to the point of ignoring the interests of the group.
Zhang Lan directly grabbed the three such family-style consortia from top to bottom, and then collected various assets into the group.
You say no? Armed confrontation? The troops that Zhang Lan transferred to arrest and liquidate are all zombie special forces, they are currently the only combat group in the entire imperial group that still has a chip behind their heads, and no one dares to resist their combat ability, and there are no corpses in every minute.
With centralization, threats, inducements, and opportunities, Zhang Lan did everything he could to train the entire imperial group, so that everyone was trembling and thinking about what tomorrow would be like even when they were sleeping?
But the vast majority of people also believe that tomorrow will definitely become better than today, because Zhang Lan is a chairman who dares to change and is good at reform, and will bring a new situation to the imperial group.
At the very least, the mere end of chip management slavery is a significant stroke in the history of the Imperial Bloc.
In the past two days, Zhang Lan has spent more time immersed in the data world of the Tianyan host, and has been calculating with Jack about the data of the Imperial Group, and the most important thing is the financial data.
"Boss, you should take a good look at the financial statements of the Imperial Group, this group looks very beautiful, but a large number of assets are controlled by major consortia, and as cash, they have made a large part of the action, the money is basically outside the jurisdiction of the group, and the group itself does not have much money. Your reform steps are too big, and you're about to hit the egg. Jack said.
"It seems that the imperial bloc is only superficially insane, and has always maintained the illusion of false prosperity, standard capitalism." Zhang Lan sighed regretfully, "How much book surplus is left?" ”
"30 billion, counting all kinds of trade surpluses, to support 1 month at most, you need to do everything you can to make money, otherwise you can't even afford a decent war."
