Chapter 1053 Abandoned
After Zhu Weizhou left, Young Master Lu continued to smoke his cigar. After smoking for a while, he put the cigar aside and said to the middle-aged man, "Brother Huo, what do you think about this?"
Uncle Huo shook his head slightly: "Zhu Weizhou is a man with high aspirations but poor skills. He is careless and too eager..."
"Haha, of course he's anxious. Being a CEO is not as good as being your own boss." Young Master Lu sneered, and then spat out two words from between his teeth: "Waste!"
"Mr. Lu, Zhu Weizhou is no longer useful." Uncle Huo reminded Mr. Lu.
"Isn't it a pity to give up now?" Mr. Lu said with some entanglement.
Zhu Weizhuo had been Mr. Lu's man for a long time, and at that time he was not yet the general manager of Si Te.
Mr. Lu has a strong background and his family is not simple. His acquaintance with Zhu Weizhuo was just a coincidence. When he learned about Zhu Weizhuo's situation, Mr. Lu appropriately extended an olive branch to Zhu Weizhuo, and with some inducements, he easily brought Zhu Weizhuo into his fold.
To put it bluntly, after Zhu Weizhuo took over as General Manager Si Te, it was actually Mr. Lu who supported him behind the scenes, otherwise Zhu Weizhuo would not be so bold.
Si Te is the largest food company in China. It is extremely strong in terms of product influence, corporate assets and corporate benefits. If a company like Si Te can be taken over, the benefits obtained will be unimaginable.
However, it is not so easy to take over Sit, which is a joint-stock enterprise. Although state-owned assets currently hold part of the shares in Sit, due to the previous restructuring of Nandu, this part of the shares has been reduced to a considerable proportion. In addition, there is the huge support of Shenghua Group behind Sit, so it is difficult to do anything with Sit.
But with Zhu Weizhou, the traitor, things were different, especially when Zhu Weizhou succeeded Zheng Guoyuan as the general manager and basically took control of the management of Si Te. In recent years, Song Chaoyuan paid little attention to Si Te, and most of his energy was focused on Shenghua. In this case, Lu Shao and others had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
In fact, Mr. Lu's method is very simple. Isn't Si Te a joint-stock company? He used Zhu Weizhou's position to infiltrate Si Te's internal management, and then gradually controlled Si Te's departments. Then, through internal decision-making, he would cause trouble for Si Te at the appropriate time, and then use these troubles to amplify the fluctuations of Si Te's stock, thereby making a profit.
This kind of operation is actually a collusion between insiders and outsiders to manipulate stock prices. In addition, if possible, Mr. Lu can also use the state-owned shares of Si Te to do some more things, use financial leverage to take advantage of Si Te's weakness and join forces with others to enter Si Te's board of directors in one fell swoop, and then take control of Si Te's board of directors.
As long as this step is achieved, Si Te will be in Mr. Lu's pocket. No matter how you look at it, this deal is worth doing.
Besides, Mr. Lu is not alone. In addition to a few trusted friends, he also has some foreign capital as his allies.
In recent years, Sit has been suppressing several foreign companies in the same field. The competition among them is extremely fierce. Foreign companies have been gnashing their teeth at Sit but are unable to do anything about it.
If they can disrupt Sit's internal affairs in this way, causing problems for Sit or even losing the market, then it would be something that these foreign investors would be very happy about.
What's more, Mr. Lu has already discussed with these foreign investors. Once he obtains the decision-making power of Sit's board of directors, he can even directly sell some of Sit's businesses to foreign investors in a package. This is equivalent to allowing foreign investors to swallow up the largest domestic competitor at the lowest cost, thus achieving the coveted result.
Zhu Weizhou is Mr. Lu's agent and his most important chess piece in Si Te. In order to achieve his goal, Mr. Lu promised Zhu Weizhou that as long as he does what he needs, he will be the chairman of Si Te in the future.
Not only that, Mr. Lu also promised to give Zhu Weizhou a certain percentage of shares, which made Zhu Weizhou even more tempted. After all, even if Zhu Weizhou sat on the throne of general manager, he was just an employee of the company, not the owner of the company. Once he had a certain percentage of shares and served as chairman, it would be different. At that time, the change in status would allow Zhu Weizhou to rise to the top in one step.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Weizhou deliberately began to lay out his plans in Sit, while eliminating dissidents and inserting his own people into Sit. Zhu Weizhou is not stupid. Doesn't he know that many of the people he promoted or parachuted in are good-for-nothings? But why did he do this? First, Zhu Weizhou wanted these people to disrupt Sit's internal affairs, causing opposition and intensified contradictions within Sit.
Secondly, these people all have backgrounds to some extent. For example, someone who was promoted is a relative of that leader, or someone who was parachuted in is related to someone else. By pulling these people in and bringing everyone into the same boat, there will be a shield even if something goes wrong.
Third, Zhu Weizhuo can control these people. Compared with those old men in Sit, even if Zhu Weizhuo becomes the general manager, his prestige cannot suppress everyone. Instead of taking it slowly, it is better to directly replace them with people he can control. Wouldn't that be more effective?
But Zhu Weizhuo never expected that, just when he thought he was doing it cleverly and getting closer to his goal step by step without anyone noticing, suddenly Song Chaoyuan hit him on the head with a stick, which made him dizzy. Until now, Zhu Weizhuo still hasn't figured out what went wrong.
"Mr. Lu, Zhu Weizhou is useless. You have never dealt with Song Yuanchao, but I have learned a little about him. He is not a simple man. If Zhu Weizhou's plan succeeds, and Song Chaoyuan is caught off guard, we can still take advantage of the situation to do something. But now Song Chaoyuan has noticed Zhu Weizhou's actions and has taken direct action..."
At this point, Uncle Huo paused, frowned and said, "From what Zhu Weizhou said just now, Song Chaoyuan clearly came prepared today, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly appeared in Si Te with so many people. If my prediction is correct, Zhu Weizhou will definitely not get through so easily next. Not only Zhu Weizhou, but also his lackeys will be in trouble."
"Song Chaoyuan is not a kind man. If he was a vegetarian Bodhisattva, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. Mr. Lu, please listen to my advice. Let this matter go and cut off your relationship with Zhu Weizhou as soon as possible. Once Song Chaoyuan finds out that you are behind Zhu Weizhou, it may be a big trouble!"
"Trouble? How much trouble can it be? He's just a businessman with some background, so what? Can he eat me up?" Mr. Lu said nonchalantly.
In his heart, he was still reluctant to give up. After all, he had been planning for so long, it would be a pity to let go now.
"Mr. Lu, the key is still the old man's side. Song Chaoyuan is not an ordinary businessman. He is..." Uncle Huo watched Mr. Lu grow up and knew very well what kind of person this young master was. He immediately whispered a few words to Mr. Lu.
"There is such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Uncle Huo nodded heavily. "Hu Yaoqing in Yanjing is said to have a very good private relationship with Song Chaoyuan. He made his fortune with Song Chaoyuan and owes him a favor. The old man of the Lin family has retired for many years. Even if some of his disciples and former officials are here, they are nothing to be afraid of. The influence of the two people under the Lin family is limited now. If there is a conflict, even if they want to help Song Chaoyuan , they won't be able to reach out that far."
"But Hu Yaoqing is different. I think you know how influential Mr. Hu is. Let's not talk about what happened a few years ago. Even now, Mr. Hu has to give in. And can you guarantee that Song Chaoyuan doesn't have other cards that we don't know about? What if we provoke Song Chaoyuan and more of them pop up? Hu Yaoqing alone will be very troublesome. We can still push the previous things to Zhu Weizhou. Anyway, the subsequent arrangements have not been finalized, and we will have an excuse to push them. But once we step forward at this time, it will be different. Mr. Lu, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Sometimes you have to make a decision when you have to. If it doesn't work this time, it's not a bad idea to give up temporarily. Anyway, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Young Master Lu thought for a moment and nodded, thinking that what Uncle Huo said made sense. People have to make choices and sometimes they can't act on impulse, especially for people of his status. There is no need to take such risks. Moreover, his father is at a critical moment. What if it affects him...
Besides, using subordinates to take action and taking action personally are two different concepts. Once you take action yourself, the situation will be different. Your hands are stained with mud and will be dirty no matter how you wash them. Young Master Lu does not want his old man to know this, and he does not want to get into unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, let's do this for now." Young Master Lu nodded in agreement. Uncle Huo felt relieved to see that he was so willing to follow suit. To be honest, he was really worried that Young Master Lu would get carried away and fight with Song Chaoyuan.
"By the way, what about Zhu Weizhuo..." Mr. Lu rolled his eyes and asked.
"The final destination of tissues used to wipe your nose is the trash can. What do you think, Mr. Lu?" Uncle Huo asked meaningfully.
"Hahaha, this description is very apt!" Young Master Lu laughed, then stood up and said, "That's it. I'll trouble Uncle Huo to help deal with Zhu Weizhou's follow-up matters, and by the way, do a favor for Song Chaoyuan to ease the relationship between the two sides. As for Zhu Weizhou, I don't want to see this jerk again."
"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it..."
Uncle Huo watched Master Lu go upstairs with a smile on his face. When Master Lu disappeared down the stairs, Uncle Huo's smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a cold look.
Uncle Huo took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number. Someone picked up the phone in a moment. Uncle Huo briefly explained a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone. Then he made a few more calls. After four or five calls, Uncle Huo let out a breath, put the phone back in his pocket, sat on the sofa with his hands folded across his chest and began to close his eyes and rest.
