Chapter 30: The Decisive Treasurer
Listening to Xu Yang's words, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately did not quiet down, the three of them glanced at each other, and then they were silent, Xu Yang picked up the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Hey, Mr. Wu, is there anything going on on the big weekend," Xu Yang said as if he had just gotten up.
Wu Lei: "I said Lao Xu, my President Xu, why are you still resting when the sky is almost ruined?" ”
Xu Yang heard Wu Lei's name, but still pretended to be stupid and asked, "Oh? What's wrong? ”
Wu Lei: "Haven't you read the news, the agency we cooperated with had an accident, and now the financial headlines of the entire Haicheng are reporting." ”
Xu Yang: "Oh, I've read the news, hey, Lao Wu is not big or small, your heart." ”
Wu Lei: "Lao Xu, what do you mean by my heart, you, the vice president of the management center, are not a vain position!" ”
Xu Yang pretended to be surprised and asked: "Old Wu, don't scare me, when did I become the vice president of the management center?"
Wu Lei smiled bitterly: "Lao Xu, we have been colleagues for many years, you know my temper, don't take it to heart." Your appointment to the board of directors was only approved on Friday, and I was expecting to be able to catch up with the results issued on Monday, and it would be a good thing to settle the matter. You can't stay out of it. ”
Xu Yang was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Wu, how deep are we in contact with them, and are there any further work in addition to the preliminary contact?" ”
Wu Lei: "No, we haven't started yet." ”
Xu Yang: "Mr. Wu, are you in the company now, why don't we go to the company to talk?"
Wu Lei: "Okay, okay, I'm in the company, not only all my executives are here, just send you, come over quickly." ”
Xu Yang: "Okay, but I suggest that the public affairs department immediately contact the major media to say that we plan to hold a press conference at 1 p.m., and ask the publicity department, marketing department, and sales department to contact customers, suppliers, and regulatory units to communicate and reassure them, see if there is any impact on this matter, and invite them to participate in the press conference." I'll go to the company now, and we'll talk to each other face-to-face. ”
Wu Lei: "Okay, come over quickly." ”
hung up the phone, Wu Lei smashed the phone to the ground.
Ah Le: "Boss, it seems that the plan is going well. ”
Xu Yang: "Don't be too optimistic, the trouble has just begun." ”
Ding Ying: "Lao Xu is right, let's go our separate ways as planned." ”
The three nodded to each other and then left separately.
Xu Yang didn't let Ah Le send him, and on the surface, he was still a one-man shadow. Xu Yang went downstairs and rode his Indian straight to the Tech Building.
Today is the weekend, the downstairs of the science and technology building is surrounded by water, these reporters are heard the news rushed to interview and break the news, the security guard of the building is afraid of a safety accident and contacted the police in the jurisdiction to maintain order.
Because Xu Yang is not a new public figure, even if the reporters saw him and did nothing, Xu Yang swaggered into the building. If these reporters knew that Xu Yang was the CFO of Zero New Technology, it is estimated that they would regret it.
Xu Yang took the elevator straight to the 19th floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Yang saw Wu Lei and Lisa, the two of them did not return to the office after seeing the leaders of the regulatory agencies, and they have been waiting for Xu Yang.
Wu Lei: "Lao Xu, you can come, go to the conference room." ”
Xu Yang glanced at Lisa and found that the name of his work card had been changed to Lu Wei, Xu Yang nodded at Lisa very happily and said to Wu Lei.
"Mr. Wu, let's go to your office first, let's discuss some things first."
"Good"
The three of them came to Wu Lei's office together, Xu Yang didn't say anything when he saw Lisa following behind, and Xu Yang said to Wu Lei as soon as he entered the room
"Mr. Wu, the listing is slow"
Wu Lei: "Huh? Why! ”
Xu Yang: "We are too sensitive now, we are not perfect, on the contrary, even if we are perfect, no one in the industry will believe us." Now that all three partners have had an accident, and some of them have violated the law, no agency will be willing to accept us at this juncture, and even if there is, it will be strictly investigated, are we really not afraid of investigation?"
"This..."Wu Lei was silent.
Xu Yang saw Wu Lei's thoughts and continued: "Because of this, we announced that we would suspend the listing plan indefinitely, strictly investigate the internal, establish a good company image and reputation, and let us retreat from the bad outlet first to avoid expanding the influence." ”
"Lisa, what do you think?" Wu Lei turned his head and asked Lisa.
"I think, what Mr. Xu said makes sense, but I don't agree with the indefinite delay, zero new is now the industry leader, and it is also a star company that is now hot and pays more attention, if it is announced that the indefinite launch will not be affected, in addition, I agree with Mr. Xu to establish the company's image, we can invite the firm to audit the public audit report at the same time, and we can also send an inspection application to the regulator."
Lisa talked eloquently, she was very satisfied with her answer, neither seemed too close to Xu Yang nor antagonistic to Xu Yang, from the eyes of Xu Yang and Wu Lei, she was more sure that her answer was perfect.
"The indefinite postponement is just a rhetoric to the outside world, and after this period of time, the situation calms down and we can continue to contact," Xu Yang added.
Wu Lei: "Well, I think it's feasible, let's go, go to the conference room, and make specific arrangements." ”
The three of them came to the big conference room again, and each of the executives left, when they saw Xu Yang, their expressions were different, and some of Xu Yang's old men looked very excited, and they didn't know how much curiosity.
Wu Lei: "Ahem, let me introduce to you, this is our legendary CFO CFO Xu Yang, who is now the vice president of the company's management center, and the appointment has been approved by the board of directors, and it has not yet had time to be issued." Mr. Xu just came back from overseas, and he immediately came to solve the company's troubles without fear of hard work, and I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the company, and everyone is welcome. ”
"Wow~~"
After a round of applause, Wu Lei motioned for everyone to be quiet and continued: "We all know that we have a big public relations problem today, so I won't talk nonsense, and then let Mr. Xu introduce the countermeasures and specific arrangements." ”
Everyone was about to applaud again, Xu Yang hurriedly signaled to stop, and said directly: "How is the Ministry of Public Affairs remembering the contact?" ”
"Mr. Xu, I have already contacted it, in addition to the media in Haicheng, I have also contacted the media and online media of CCTV" The director of the public affairs department hurriedly got up and answered.
Xu Yang: "Have you communicated with the Propaganda Department, Marketing Department, Purchasing Department, and Sales Department about the customer situation you maintain, and are there any problems?"
"No problem"
"No problem"
"Mr. Xu, there is some trouble in procurement, and our largest supplier, Anke, is worried that we will be affected, and requires us to pay all the future payments, and requires us to increase the advance payment by 15% from the next batch of orders."
Xu Yang: "May I ask who you are?" ”
"Oh, I'm Liu Zhou, the director of the first procurement department."
Xu Yang thought to himself that this name was a little familiar: Liu Zhou, oh I remembered, it's you, your son still owes me 500,000.
"Oh, hello Mr. Liu, the first time we complained that I didn't do my homework, about this matter, the first lawyer Zhou of the legal department sent an official letter to Anke to tell them that it is okay to settle the payment in advance, but our company will sue them for breach of contract and ask for compensation, and second, please contact your supplier Liu Zhou to tell them to reduce the advance payment by 10% from the next batch of orders, and the purchase price will be reduced by 20% according to the existing price, otherwise we will reduce the purchase order by 50%, recently I went to Ruihua, Ruihua's products are the same as the quality of Anke, but the price is 40% lower. ”
Mr. Ai: "Okay"
Xu Yang: "Any other questions?" ”
"No, no," Liu Zhou was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect this legendary CFO to be so strong.
Xu Yang: "Okay, then I'll talk about the arrangements for the press conference next afternoon."
"First, the administrative department as soon as possible to contact the building property to arrange the venue of the press conference,
2. All departments recall personnel above the manager level to return to the company to assist the administrative department in arranging the venue and the venue system during the reception
3. The Propaganda Department, the Planning Department, and all the Secretariat immediately prepare all kinds of public relations articles, and the Public Affairs Department cooperates with the contact with the self-media and financial V, and I ask that within 5 minutes of the end of the press conference, zero new public relations articles should appear on all platforms, and the Propaganda Department should also pay attention to the Internet water army.
Fourth, please the directors to entertain their guests. ”
"OK, is there anything you don't understand?"
The audience was silent, and everyone present was shocked.
Wu Lei: "Okay, Mr. Xu's arrangements are very detailed and thorough, since everyone has no opinion, then the meeting will be disbanded and each will prepare carefully, I, Wu Lei, will talk about the ugly words first, whoever goes wrong in this matter will leave." Meeting! ”
Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they left the conference room, and some were still whispering.
"Hey, you said that Mr. Xu is too ruthless."
"You don't see that Mr. Wu is ruthless"
"Shhhh
......
Xu Yang: "Lao Wu, Lisa, let's discuss what to say next afternoon." ”
Wu Lei: "If you discuss, just do what you say." ”
Xu Yang: "This is not good, according to the convention, there must be a priority, the main company situation and the strategic plan to postpone the listing have to be you, and the next time to introduce the relevant work involved in the company, I will come, Lisa, the host of the on-site call process"
Lisa: "Oh, no, no, I can't do it." ”
Wu Lei: "I think it's okay, it's so decided, I'll go back and think about what to say first"
said so, but Wu Lei felt in his heart that Xu Yang made him thunder, and the postponement of the listing will definitely affect the interests of other shareholders, this thunder Xu Yang doesn't want to touch, let me top: Hmph, let's see!
Xu Yang really didn't have that heart, he just made emergency arrangements according to the routine, but unfortunately the hearts of the two had already drifted apart.
Wu Lei called Lisa when he returned to the office and asked her to come over, Lisa thought that she was revealing her stuff and made a look at Xu Yang, Xu Yang signaled not to worry about her behaving very well.
As soon as Lisa came to Wu Lei's office, a strong push came from behind the door, and then the office door was locked. Lisa's hanging heart finally let go, lying on the back of the sofa chair numbly feeling Wu Lei's savagery, and Wu Lei completely ignored Lisa's feelings and vented frantically.
It wasn't until almost 1 o'clock that Wu Lei stopped venting, the two tidied up a little, Lisa changed her stockings again, and walked towards the reception together.
On the second floor of the Science and Technology Building, there is an open conference hall and the venue of the Zero New Technology Press Conference, the venue is already full, and there are many reporters holding "long guns and short guns" cameras standing, and the employees of Zero New are all standing on both sides of the venue in professional uniforms.
When Wu Lei, Xu Yang, Lisa and several other executives appeared, the flashing lights of the entire venue kept ringing, and it was not until the group sat down one after another that it was slightly restrained.
A high-profile press conference is about to begin!
