Chapter 784: Toast
Kong Guangnan was seven points drunk, three points sober, and when he heard everyone praising himself, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's not worth mentioning, it's all within the scope of the matter." ”
After a polite word, he looked at Liu Zhonglie beside him and said, "Old Liu, I won't tell you, I have a reluctant invitation today." ”
"I said Lao Kong, our relationship, you can just say anything directly." After Liu Zhonglie finished speaking, he returned to his seat and pretended to be very calm.
"Okay, then you're welcome." Kong Guangnan paused slightly, and continued: "I heard from several colleagues just now that the institute has decided to adjust the work force of the basic research institute this year, that is, to lay off personnel, and our computer research institute will not be spared, and it is said that the intensity of the layoffs this time has reached 85 percent, and 900 of our 1,100 colleagues are facing unemployment. ”
"Really? Why haven't you heard of it? Yoo Zhongyeol faked a shocked look.
"Why is Zeng so embarrassed to put pressure on you?" Kong Guangnan replied with a smile.
"Yo, I'm embarrassed by Zeng, I'm embarrassed by you, Lao Kong? How? Are you thick-skinned? Liu Zhonglie asked with a sneer.
This sentence was really ugly, Kong Guangnan was obviously a little embarrassed when he stood there, but Liu Zhonglie hurriedly pretended to say: "Old Kong, don't mind, it's just a joke." ”
"It's fine." Kong Guangnan pretended to be indifferent, and at the same time, Liu Zhonglie coughed lightly and said: "I understand, your reluctant invitation is to help colleagues find a place, but it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that Liansheng really doesn't lack people."
Our institute is full of technicians, which is the most indispensable for Liansheng, and you should know that Liansheng has long been transformed, and your dignified and meritorious chief engineer has been fired, and I don't need anyone else. ”
Kong Guangnan frowned and said in a low voice: "Lao Liu, you can't say that, after all, Liansheng is also a member of the research institute. ”
"Just because Liansheng is a member of the institute, I should be more responsible for Liansheng, why should the institute streamline the organization, why do you want to drastically lay off employees, isn't it because you want to take the road of economic construction! I mentioned to you before that trade, industry and technology are our only way out, first do trade to make money, and then consider research and development.
It doesn't matter if you don't listen, someone is messing around with you, but I also remind you, don't think that you can be kidnapped in this morality because of Liansheng's merits, I can't let Liansheng be ruined in your hands. ”
Liu Zhonglie was not polite at all when he spoke, obviously with the attitude of a superior leader criticizing his subordinates, and he did not respect Kong Guangnan at all.
At the end, he continued hypocritically: "Old Kong, accept the reality! If you want me to help you, there are executives from top tech companies here, and it shouldn't be a problem to recruit people based on their status, and you can convince them more than convince me. ”
Kong Guangnan was naturally not a taste of being slapped by Liu Zhonglie's head and face, but he was originally a real person, and under the influence of alcohol, he only thought about how to help the institute solve the problem, and nothing else was considered at all.
Hearing Liu Zhonglie's words, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Actually, I think so too, if Liansheng doesn't need people, all the executives here should need it, right?" Rest assured, what we have developed is definitely real talent. ”
When a table of people heard Kong Guangnan's words, they smiled almost at the same time, and they didn't know what they were laughing at, and after a while, Matsushita Masayuki muttered a bunch of Japanese, and the translator quickly got up and said: "Mr. Matsushita Masayuki said, he understands Mr. Kong's current mood very well, and also recognizes the technology of the members of the institute, but in the field of science and technology, Huaxia has always been at a backward level, even if Panasonic intends to accept the staff of the institute, not only to pass the layers of interviews, but also to start from the grassroots level." ”
This is basically the meaning of refusal, after all, like the research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not the strength of an expert doctoral supervisor, starting from the grassroots level, this is obviously looking down on people.
At this time, the leader of LG also stood up and said in English: "A team of more than 900 people, not everyone can eat, whether it is to leave them in China or immigrate abroad, it is a heavenly number." And cooperation is often linked to interests, unless these people can bring some patented technology that will interest everyone, I will consider it. ”
LG's leadership requirements were even more outrageous, Kong Guangnan couldn't listen to it anymore, and said sincerely: "Comrades, the employment of talents has always been an important indicator of major companies, please believe me, my colleagues will definitely bring their due value to everyone." ”
"Ahem!" Liu Zhonglie coughed lightly on the side, and also put on a serious appearance: "Colleagues, I know that your companies are more strict, but today, for my sake, help Chief Engineer Kong, even if a company recruits one person." ”
The executives glanced at each other, and a blonde man suddenly smiled and said: "Since this matter is put on the wine table to talk about, it is natural to drink it well, I will make a statement on behalf of Siemens, if there is a suitable position in the Huaxia region, I will recruit employees of the institute as much as possible." ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Kyle." Kong Guangnan hurriedly stretched out his hand, but the latter did not stretch out his hand but said with a smile: "Mr. Kong, I just said that you can only drink it well." ”
Kong Guangnan was stunned for two seconds, suddenly understood, and hurriedly raised the cup and said, "I respect you." ”
"Don't worry, I haven't said the rules yet." After Kyle finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously and continued in English: "As long as Mr. Kong can drink a glass of wine, I will recruit five employees, and if I can drink two glasses, I will recruit ten employees." ”
After Kyle finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "Do you know where I learned this method?" ”
Everyone looked puzzled at the same time.
"It's at the wine table in Huaxia." Kyle chuckled, "That's fair, isn't it?" ”
Everyone laughed at the same time, and Masayuki Matsushita and others also hurriedly said that as long as Kong Guangnan drank more, the more people they would recruit.
Even Liu Zhonglie laughed and said: "Lao Kong, for the sake of the colleagues of the institute today, you must have a few more drinks, presumably everyone will thank you, and the future of the institute will be on you." ”
After Liu Zhonglie finished speaking, everyone laughed even more, even Zeng Qianchao, but another research institute staff member next to him said with some self-reproach: "Zeng Suo, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?" The affairs of the research institute are everyone's business, and Chief Engineer Kong can't be left to deal with it alone, right? And he's that old. ”
"What? Do you want to help him drink? Zeng Qianchao asked with a cold face.
Facing the pressure of Zeng Qianchao, the researcher whispered, "That...... That's not it, mainly because we don't think it's his business alone, but we fooled him into helping. ”
"Xiao Liu, Chief Engineer Kong is in the institute, that's what he should do, since he is a member of the institute, he should do this, if he doesn't drink, let me drink? I may not have the same face as him. Zeng Qianchao said with a tense face.
At this time, another researcher also followed: "Xiao Liu, don't think nonsense, Chief Engineer Kong has such a high salary in Datang, shouldn't the people in the gang help office?" Can you bear to see that the people in the house can't find work? ”
"That's right, Lao Kong himself gets a high salary, and it is his duty to help the institute fight for jobs, don't think nonsense, as long as you are obedient, I will guarantee that you will not be laid off."
After Zeng Qianchao said this, the questioning researchers stopped speaking out, this is the case in this era, not to mention that ordinary employees may not survive if they are laid off, even the layoffs of units like the Chinese Academy of Sciences will also lead to a large number of people having food and clothing problems.
And since the end of '92, it has ushered in a historic wave of unemployment, and all walks of life are struggling.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese Academy of Sciences is ready to lay off employees this time, Zeng Qianchao didn't even take this matter to heart, after all, he is the director and the layoffs can't cut him.
The reason why Kong Guangnan was suddenly pushed out today was to use Kong Guangnan's kindness to make him look foreign. This is also a good communication with Liu Zhonglie before, including Liu Zhonglie's guidance of Kong Guangnan to ask for help from executives of other companies, including drinking, which are also well prepared.
The main reason why the two of them did this was that they were really unhappy that Kong Guangnan was now able to enjoy the scenery by Li Siwen's side.
One is to hate Li Siwen, and the other is to be jealous of Kong Guangnan, as long as Kong Guangnan is embarrassed, he is actually slapping Li Siwen in the face.
What's more, if they can really win re-employment opportunities for the institute, then the credit can be regarded as the two of them.
To put it simply, no matter whether the result is good or bad, there are no drawbacks for the two of them.
However, this kind of scene is a little uncomfortable for some sensible people, not to mention that a few companies belittle the Chinese Academy of Sciences, let's just say that this kind of drinking and employment is an insult to personality, not to mention that Kong Guangnan represents a certain level of power in China.
Therefore, the experts, professors and leaders at the leadership table all showed embarrassment, but at this time, it was difficult to stop, so they could only watch hard.
"Damn, that's too bullying, isn't it?" Xu Weiwei couldn't sit still, and scolded in a low voice: "What do they think of Chief Engineer Kong?" Played as a monkey? ”
After she finished speaking, Li Fuzhen on the side looked at Li Siwen and said: "Mr. Li, if there are indeed difficulties in the employment of the personnel of the institute, I can also arrange some positions, although I can't go to the Samsung headquarters, we should need them here in Huaxia." ”
"Thank you." Li Siwen replied coldly, his eyes were still on Kong Guangnan's body, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Looking at Kong Guangnan again, his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and there was obviously a look of embarrassment in his eyes, in the eyes of outsiders, Kong Guangnan may be struggling with his self-esteem, but in fact this is not the case at all.
The only thing he thought about at this time was that there were only five places for a glass of wine, and the institute would lose more than 900 people in the next year, so how many glasses would need to be drunk.
Yes, in his emotions, there will rarely be intrigue and competitiveness, even if his Hanka skills are possessed by Liansheng alone, he has no complaints, this is not because he is cowardly, but because his thinking is fundamentally different from others.
"Mr. Kong, drink, you are so good at studying Hanka, you should be very good at drinking, right?" Kyle smiled and added: "If you drink enough today, not to mention those people in the research institute, even you and Siemens can accept it, and arrange an engineer for you to be an engineer from Siemens' headquarters in Huaxia, wouldn't it be much better than your current Datang?" ”
After Kyle teased, the other executives also laughed, because of the alcohol, everyone's expressions were more distorted than the other, and they were even evil.
The corners of Liu Zhonglie's mouth were tilted, at this moment, he seemed to have spilled all his anger, even if it was just to embarrass Kong Guangnan, but it was no different from insulting Li Siwen, his eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of Li Siwen, full of provocation.
But soon, his pupils began to slowly dilate, and the figure in his pupils also increased a little bit, and his originally unscrupulous expression began to appear a trace of panic.
"He, what is he going to do?"
Liu Zhonglie rubbed his eyes vigorously, he thought that Li Siwen would definitely not dare to come forward in this situation, after all, this table is full of executives of large international companies, who dares to offend? And anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are just entertaining in a group, and offending one person is the enemy of all people.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Siwen actually walked towards the table step by step, his expression was cold and terrifying, it was not that he was dazzled, and when he reacted, Li Siwen had already stood behind Kyle, raised his wine glass, and poured a glass of wine on the other party's head.
Crash!
A large glass of wine poured down like a waterfall, and before everyone knew why, Kyle had been doused in the soup. The first to react was naturally Kyle, who jumped up from his chair and turned to look at Li Siwen angrily: "FUCK, what do you want to do?" ”
"Li Siwen, are you looking for trouble?" Liu Zhonglie also hurriedly got up and scolded angrily.
Li Fuzhen, who was sitting at another table, was even more surprised and couldn't close her mouth, she didn't understand what this operation was at all, and poured the wine directly on the head of the Siemens executive, and she was too bold, right? Even if you are angry, you can't spread like this! Is this still a businessman?
Looking at Li Siwen again, in the face of the accusation, he suddenly pretended to be innocent, and hurriedly said: "Oh, Mr. Kyle, I'm really sorry, I just wanted to toast you, but I didn't expect it to be spilled on your head." ”
"Toast?" Kyle blushed, how could he believe the other party's nonsense, Liu Zhonglie said angrily: "Li Siwen, you don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, your bad behavior will make the opportunity won by Chief Engineer Kong go to waste, you are happy by yourself, have you ever thought about the research institute?" ”
