Chapter 404: Your Boss is Still Your Boss
Inside the office, everyone was attracted by the sound of the door opening. However, because Lu Yiming never attended such meetings in the company, and only went to the research department when he came, the newly promoted Jiande did not know Lu Yiming. When he saw Lu Yiming coming in, he thought he was here to do business in the company, and immediately scolded him: "Who are you? Can't you see we are in a meeting? Get out!"
Lu Yiming was slightly stunned, and then a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
The smile on Zheng Baishun's face froze all of a sudden, as if he had done something wrong, and he stuttered: "Lu...Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
Lu Yiming said with a half-smile: "As a major shareholder, it's reasonable for me to come to the company when I have nothing to do, right? If I don't come again, I guess no one in the company will recognize me."
Only then did Jande realize that this seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him was actually the major shareholder of Mingyuan Technology!
He thought of his rudeness just now and broke out in a cold sweat.
Lu Yiming also looked at Jia Ende at this time and said lightly: "You are fired, pack up and leave."
Seeing that Mingyuan Technology was about to go public, Jiande would become a multimillionaire by dividing the shares, so how could he leave? He immediately slid down on his knees and kowtowed in front of Lu Yiming, tears streaming down his face: "Mr. Lu, I have a 90-year-old mother and hungry children. My family depends on my salary to survive. If I lose my job, my family will starve to death. Mr. Lu, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Please be magnanimous and give me a chance to reform. I was blind and offended you just now. I'm sorry, sorry..."
On the hard concrete floor, Jande kowtowed with such loud bangs that everyone present was frightened.
This guy is so cruel to himself.
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "Get up. At your age, if your child is hungry, you may have to do a paternity test. I will never change the decision I made. Go away, don't let me call the security guard."
Originally, Lu Yiming came here to reorganize the company, and Jiande walked right into the trap, so of course he would not miss such an opportunity.
Seeing that Lu Yiming was firm in his words, Jan De knew that there was no way he could save the situation today. He left the meeting room dejectedly with anger and regret.
Seeing Lu Yiming give everyone a warning as soon as he came in, everyone present had a stern expression, even Zheng Baishun looked a lot more honest.
Although there is no so-called respect for Lu Yiming, Lu Yiming is still nominally the major shareholder of Mingyuan Technology. Before successfully seizing power, Zheng Baishun knows that he cannot get carried away.
Lu Yiming walked directly in front of Zheng Baishun, who obediently stood up and gave up his seat.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Secretary Zheng, that's right. This is the boss's position. You must always remember that you are the secretary."
Zheng Baishun gnashed his teeth in hatred, but still said with a smile: "I have been managing the company these days, and I accidentally got the job."
He stood beside Lu Yiming, looking down at Lu Yiming's head, thinking viciously in his heart: When I take control of the company, I will fucking kill you!
He came to sit down at the second seat to the right of Lu Yiming. He thought he had the approval of Zheng Youyuan and the support of the company's management. Although Lu Yiming looked aggressive, he was not too timid. Instead, he looked at Lu Yiming with a provocative look: "Boss Lu, do you have anything ?"
Lu Yiming glanced at Zheng Baishun indifferently, and then looked around at everyone present.
"I do have something to announce."
Faced with Lu Yiming's sharp gaze, the company executives who already had something to hide lowered their heads and began to act like ostriches, wishing they could bury their heads in the sand.
Especially those who had spoken the loudest and flattered Zheng Baishun the most. They had never had any ability and they got to their positions by fawning and flattering others. Now they are even more afraid that they will be targeted by Lu Yiming.
Lu Yiming ignored the meaning of these idiots and announced directly: "I have already talked to President Zheng. From now on, Zheng Baishun's acting position will be cancelled and he will be fired from the company. As for who will take over, President Zheng will make his own arrangements."
Zheng Baishun was dumbfounded and shouted immediately: "I don't believe it, this must be fake! I don't believe it, I want to see President Zheng, I have made contributions to the company!"
Without the authority in his hands, he would not be able to promote the joint venture between Mingyuan Technology and Aimon Company. Not only would all his careful planning be in vain, but the benefits promised by Aimon Company might also disappear into thin air.
Lu Yiming was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly called the security guard: "Take Mr. Zheng Baishun to get his personal belongings, and then ask him to leave politely, understand? Our Mingyuan Technology is a large company after all, and we still have to be respectful."
Several security guards immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward to hold Zheng Baishun, wanting to "politely" take him away to prevent him from doing anything indecent.
Zheng Baishun was furious: "What are you doing? Do you know who I am? Let go!"
Although he wanted to resist, how could a person who sat in the office all day and lived a life of luxury be able to defeat the tall and strong company security guard?
Zheng Baishun was quickly carried away by the security captain and his men in a sedan chair, and there was no commotion at all.
After dealing with Zheng Baishun, Lu Yiming looked around the entire conference room again.
This time, the company executives buried their heads even lower, and their bodies were trembling. They didn’t want to be treated like Zheng Baishun.
Lu Yiming did not speak. The conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to breathe, for fear that breaking the silence would bring about a terrible thunderstorm.
“Duo…duo…duo…”
Lu Yiming knocked lightly on the long conference table. Everyone's heart almost jumped out of their throat. Silent fear spread quietly and everyone was uneasy.
Lu Yiming finally spoke.
"I heard that you are planning to rebel?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts and couldn't help but feel their heartbeats speed up.
They thought that since Lu Yiming didn't come and Zheng Youyuan was hospitalized, they could do whatever they wanted, but Lu Yiming's words were telling them that he knew everything that happened in the company.
"Why is no one talking? Didn't I hear you guys talking so enthusiastically just now? Why are you all so silent now?"
Lu Yiming said something, then pointed at someone and said, "Liu Zhijian, come and tell me. I heard your loud voice before I even entered the door."
Everyone looked at Liu Zhijian, who had an expression as if he had lost his parents. The scene of Jia Ende and Zheng Baishun leaving just now kept lingering in his mind.
Liu Zhijian quickly denied it and said, "Mr. Lu, you are joking. The rebellion or no rebellion is definitely a rumor."
Lu Yiming leaned gently on the back of the chair and changed to a more comfortable sitting position.
"Oh, really? But why did I hear that Zheng Baishun is running a management buyout and has received support from many people?"
After that, he took out an envelope and said leisurely, "I even got the list of names. Is this also a rumor?"
Everyone looked at the envelope in Lu Yiming's hand with terrified expressions, although they also knew that lists and the like were not necessarily true. After all, many things were not put into writing, and there would be no so-called evidence left.
But does Lu Yiming need evidence?
In the current situation, whoever Lu Yiming wants to be on the list will have his name appear on it, right?
Just when everyone thought that Lu Yiming would take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and make a major change in the company, Lu Yiming walked to the shredder and threw the envelope into it in front of everyone.
With a crackling sound, the envelope was cut into pieces.
Lu Yiming's voice also rang in everyone's ears: "I can forgive the past, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate it a second time. Do you understand?"
With the buzzing sound of the shredder, the envelope and the list inside it were all turned into scraps of paper. Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Zhijian took the opportunity to say, "This incident was all caused by Zheng Baishun alone. In fact, I was against it in my heart, but I just couldn't find a chance to tell President Lu the truth."
When the others heard this, they secretly cursed Liu Zhijian for being treacherous and reacting so quickly. At the same time, they also spoke up.
“Yes, I was against it at that time.”
"I have argued with Zheng Baishun several times, but he doesn't listen to me because I am powerless."
Lu Yiming was extremely impressed by these people's ability to adapt to the situation. If they had put one tenth of their cunning energy into work, they wouldn't be in this situation now.
Especially this Liu Zhijian, he is the best among them, a real villain among real villains.
But villains also have their uses. There are many things that other people cannot do, but villains can do very well.
Lu Yiming came behind Liu Zhijian, bent down and put his hands on Liu Zhijian's shoulders, and said, "You understand a lot."
Liu Zhijian quickly said, "From now on, I will follow Mr. Lu's lead."
Of course Lu Yiming knew that this person was lying. After all, he was reborn through time travel, and his heart was not yet inflated. Of course, he was immune to this level of flattery.
He won today, so Liu Zhijian would say this to him. If he had come a few days later and Zheng Baishun's conspiracy had succeeded, Liu Zhijian would have said the same to Zheng Baishun.
However, Lu Yiming didn't care about these. He said: "It's a good thing that you have this intention, and I will never treat meritorious officials unfairly. Do you understand?"
Liu Zhijian said with a firm face: "I understand. If there is any disturbance in the company in the future, I will inform President Lu immediately!"
Lu Yiming patted his shoulder again: "Do your best and don't let me down."
Liu Zhijian knew that he had found a great man, and was overjoyed. He immediately nodded and bowed: "Yes, Mr. Lu!"
Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Lu Yiming promptly resolved the company's internal risks and kicked Zheng Baishun out.
After leaving the meeting room, Lu Yiming called Cheng Xiaohua and Fang Yunfeng.
"The problem has been solved, and we guarantee that similar incidents will not occur again. You should prepare yourself. In a few years, several key projects of the technical research and development department will gradually become independent and become first-level departments under the company."
Although the matter has come to an end, Cheng Xiaohua still doesn't quite understand and asked Lu Yiming: "Boss Lu, why don't you deal with those company executives who colluded with Zheng Baishun? Since they have already rebelled, keeping them in the company is like a time bomb, isn't it?"
Lu Yiming did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know how many of Cao Cao's men had written letters of surrender in advance before the Battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period? And what did Cao Cao do after intercepting these letters to Yuan Shao?"
Cheng Xiaohua is a technology geek. Even if he had read books like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when he was in school, he has long forgotten the content.
Before Cheng Xiaohua could ask, Lu Yiming said, "Cao Cao finally burned these letters and chose to let bygones be bygones."
Fang Yunfeng said puzzledly: "Shouldn't traitors be severely punished? Why did Cao Cao choose to let them go?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Of course we have to deal with the traitors, but at that time, almost everyone in Cao's army was pessimistic and believed they would lose. If you really wanted to deal with them, would you kill most of your own people and cut off your own limbs before the battle?"
"The current situation of Mingyuan Technology is actually the same as Cao Cao's predicament back then. The technical threshold of USB flash drives is not high, and we are not without competitors. For example, Aimon Company is aggressive and wants to get a piece of the pie. Therefore, the production and promotion of USB flash drives has become a top priority. In order to seize the market as soon as possible before more competitors appear, I need to maintain stability within the company."
In the previous life, Langke suffered a great loss because of this.
Although the patent for the USB flash drive was obtained, it was the USB flash drive that sold the most and made the most money.
Although the names are similar, these two products are actually not the same thing. The USB flash drive is produced by Netac, while other manufacturers can only use "U disk" as the product name.
Dover Amon is known as the father of USB flash drives. Even though he lost the patent lawsuit miserably, USB flash drives are still the most sold products on the market. In the end, Netac could only wield the patent stick and fleece its peers to express its self-consolation.
But what's the use of this?
Compared to selling products, how much money can you make from patent fees?
Cheng Xiaohua was a little unhappy and said, "Boss Lu, are we just going to let it go?"
Lu Yiming snorted coldly, "How can I let it go? You want to pretend nothing happened after you offended me? We are not dealing with it now so that the company can operate stably. But no one on the blacklist can escape, and we will slowly find people to replace them in the future."
Cheng Xiaohua smiled happily at this time: "Is this the so-called final reckoning?"
Lu Yiming said righteously, "After all, we are all respectable people. It would be a bit too rough to settle accounts in person. After all, we are a formal company, not a gang."
