Chapter 628: Twist the Dog's Head Off for You
When Liang Fei's car arrived at NIO's headquarters, the building immediately became tense.
A vice president who was close to Li Bin quickly passed on the message.
"Liang Fei is here, bringing his very beautiful female secretary, and another beautiful female secretary I've never seen before, very young!"
"Damn, where did this guy find so many beautiful female secretaries? They look pure, unlike the ones we have here."
"He came here while Mr. Li was not at home. He must be planning to cause trouble. What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Let's go to the leisure area and find Mr. Xu!"
They now feel that the only person in the headquarters who can compete with Liang Fei is Xu Guyong.
Old Xu was chatting and laughing with several female employees in the leisure area. He was holding a cigar, wearing a suit and tie, and laughing very freely.
Several female employees from the administration department also looked at him with a smile. This man was truly charming, rich, tough, and without the greasy hair that those senior executives had. He was obviously extremely lecherous, but he liked to pretend to be a gentleman.
Unlike Mr. Xu, he likes whoever he likes and he doesn't pretend at all.
"When I'm free, I'll take you to my yacht. We'll go out to sea. The yacht has a special chef, and we can have BBQ on the deck. You all know BBQ, Barbie Q, barbecue!"
"Put on your bikinis when the time comes. You won't be allowed on board if you don't wear bikinis!"
The female employees looked at each other, giggled and agreed.
Xu Guyong's eyes were wandering over a female employee who had just graduated from college. He was wondering whether he should take her to the office to talk about career planning when he saw a director running over in a hurry.
"Boss Xu, Liang Fei is here!"
Liang Fei is here?
Xu Guyong immediately pulled the hem of his clothes and asked seriously, "Where is it?"
"We've already entered the building, Mr. Xu. Liang Fei is definitely here to cause trouble, and he also seems to be showing off!" said the director indignantly.
Xu Guyong frowned: "What do you mean?"
The director reported: "He brought two beautiful female secretaries this time, but he always brought one before!"
Xu Guyong: “…”
Looking at the director curiously, Xu Guyong was a little confused. Was it because his personal charm was too strong that caused the styles of these senior executives at NIO headquarters to be so distorted?
She used to hide it, but now she dares to talk about which club she is going to in public at night, and she also says she wants to follow in her footsteps.
What the hell is following? Xu Guyong felt that he was now an elegant person who drank tea and appreciated dancing. He was not the same kind of person as those vulgar people who went to KTV and hugged Korean semi-permanent girls.
"What are you panicking about?"
Xu Guyong said unhappily: "What's wrong with him bringing two female secretaries? Can't I bring three?"
After that, Xu Guyong gave an order: "Let all female employees in the administrative and sales departments who are over 1.7 meters tall wear black stockings. Remember, I said all!"
When Liang Fei walked into the building, the elevator door opened and Xu Guyong led a group of tall female employees wearing hip skirts and black stockings out.
"Mr. Liang, long time no see." Xu Guyong laughed and walked forward to shake hands with Liang Fei.
Liang Fei laughed and nodded: "Boss Xu, long time no see, you are still so grand."
"Of course. Now that you are here, I must give you enough face."
Xu Guyong said, "Come on, let's go to my office and discuss in detail."
"No, no."
Liang Fei waved her hand: "I just came here to check out the atmosphere at the headquarters today. Isn't the new car going to be launched soon? All the work should be arranged properly. As a co-founder, it's not good for me to be absent often. I still have to show my face. Mr. Xu, is it too much trouble?"
"It's very troublesome!" Xu Guyong laughed.
The other accompanying executives looked at each other in bewilderment, and some even gave Xu Guyong a thumbs up in their hearts.
He is indeed a rich man from Northwest China, he always speaks directly.
Liang Fei was not angry, still smiling and said: "It's troublesome, Mr. Xu can go back to his room and sleep if he finds it troublesome. I can go shopping by myself. It must be tiring to lead a group of black silk high heels every day, right?"
Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this just a tit-for-tat confrontation?
Everyone knows that Xu Guyong used to be Liang Fei's big sponsor. He has been giving money to Liang Fei since the time when Liang Fei was developing the campus version of WeChat. Later, when he launched Banana Live and now Douyin, Xu Guyong has been silently investing money behind Liang Fei.
But the situation today is different from the past. It is obvious that the real industry, especially the automobile industry, which is a business that only real men can do, is more in line with the tastes of the rich in Northwest China. So they turned their guns around, decisively abandoned Liang Fei, and became the co-founder of NIO.
Now it's like enemies meeting each other with extreme jealousy.
When Xu Guyong heard Liang Fei asking him to go back to his room to sleep, he immediately said, "I'm not sleepy now. If Mr. Liang is sleepy, I can give up the lounge to you."
"No need. I can't sleep without someone around me."
"What a coincidence, me too."
The executives following behind the two looked at each other and nodded slightly. It seemed that the relationship between the two had become quite bad.
Liang Fei first visited the administrative department and listened to the chief executive's report, then gave several suggestions, including logistical support and the subsequent expansion of the company, how to effectively reimburse the expenses incurred by administrative work, and coordinate with the financial department to speed up the efficiency of grassroots work.
This is a solution that can only be proposed by a person who has personally grown a business from small to large, after long-term practice, including continuous learning and improvement. Even the chief executive and the senior executives accompanying us today think it makes sense.
They thought that although Liang Fei was a domineering person and was determined to swallow up NIO, to be honest, he did have unique vision and methods in managing a company.
Xu Guyong saw the CEO taking notes , glared at him and shouted, "What are you taking notes for? What's the point of taking notes? Every company has a completely different situation. Can it work for CEO Liang to give suggestions to NIO based on the model of managing an Internet company like Lightyear Technology?"
A few executives thought it would work.
But if Xu Guyong says no, then it means no.
People who have worked or held middle-level management positions can best understand this feeling. You have no idea why the boss does this or why he makes such excessive demands. He doesn't care whether his subordinates can complete the task or whether the company has the strength to achieve the goal. In short, he just gives orders.
If it cannot be completed, it is because the subordinates are not capable enough, and it is definitely not the boss's fault.
Liang Fei crossed his arms and glanced at Xu Guyong: "According to Mr. Xu's opinion, there are so many hidden dangers in administrative work now, how should we solve them?"
"Hiring people!"
Without hesitation, Xu Guyong said directly: "We are in the car business at NIO. With so many men, administrative work is difficult to carry out, right? The departments are not cooperating, right? Hire more beauties, soft and cute girls, pretty and mature women, and let them handle the work. Do you think the men in other departments will still make things difficult for them? It's impossible."
"Is that the truth?"
Several executives looked at each other and some even felt that what Xu Guyong said made a lot of sense.
Xu Guyong said to the chief executive, "How about this, next time you recruit someone, I will come to interview them in person, but my time is very valuable, so I will screen the resumes. Those who are shorter than 1.65 meters don't need to be shown to me, understand?"
"Uh, I understand, Mr. Xu."
"Okay, Mr. Liang, is there anywhere else you need to see?"
"Yes, let's go!"
Liang Fei became excited, and a group of people went around various departments in a mighty manner. No matter what opinions Liang Fei raised, Xu Guyong would make unreasonable demands, and sometimes the opinions he gave in the opposite direction were simply ridiculous.
One of the vice presidents couldn't stand it anymore and wanted Xu Guyong to stop being so willful. He thought that the suggestions Liang Fei gave were all very appropriate, so why not use them?
But he was stopped by his own director, who whispered, "Boss Zhang, don't show up at this time. You know which management regulations are appropriate and which are inappropriate. Anyway, Liang Fei's opinions cannot be adopted, and they must be wrong. Otherwise, how can Boss Li be right? Boss Li has now completely denied the opinions Liang Fei gave when the company was founded."
The vice president and director did not keep up with the main group. They walked to the corner, lit a cigarette and puffed out smoke.
The vice president looked at Xu Guyong walking arrogantly, pointing fingers and making speeches, and was extremely annoyed: "Even if you want to kick Liang Fei out, you can't do it like this. Letting an outsider to manage the company, what is President Li thinking? He really treats us as outsiders, and is afraid that we will be poached by Liang Fei, right? If this goes on for a long time, how can we do our work!"
The director took a puff of cigarette and consoled him, "Boss Li actually knows that Boss Xu is good for nothing except money . He doesn't have any special skills at all. But there is nothing we can do. What our company lacks most now is money, not talent. To put it bluntly, Boss Xu is the most important person now."
The vice president was extremely annoyed. He put his hands on his hips and said, "You know, according to the feedback from the online promotion, it's very bad. The pricing has also leaked out a little bit. There are very few people who are willing to buy it. Those who can pay this price have all been lured away by Tesla. How much is left for us?"
"To put it bluntly, I now think Liang Fei's approach is correct. Consumers don't care about any mysterious sales tactics when the price is lowered. Why is Xiaomi so popular? One reason is that the quality is good and the other is that the price is low. Let's just say that even if the phone explodes at that price, it's just my bad luck, not the poor quality of the phone."
The director also sighed: "The pace is a bit too big. In the end, we still have to go to the stock market to make money."
…
Liang Fei walked around the building and finally went to Xu Guyong's office for tea.
After closing the door, Xu Guyong reclined on the sofa, laughed and asked, "Well, am I right? Give me another year, and I can beat NIO."
Liang Fei felt that this was not a joke. Based on NIO's crappy sales performance, coupled with Li Bin's outrageous online operations and various crappy marketing methods, if there was another Xu Guyong, even if Li Bin was good at making money, he would be able to bring down this car company.
Xu Guyong turned over , holding a cigar in his mouth, and asked, "When are you going to confront Li Bin?"
Liang Fei thought for a moment and said, "When the new car is launched and the first batch of sales results come out, it is foreseeable that the sales volume will be like shit, but that won't be enough. In another half a year, when the money in Weilai's account is used up and you choose not to make additional investments, the executives will definitely complain a lot about Li Bin. Coupled with your nonsense, Li Bin will lose the support of the people."
"When the time comes, with the help of internal and external forces, it will no longer be a dream to take down NIO."
"good!"
Xu Guyong clapped his hands and asked with a smile: "Xiao Liang, which company are you going to swallow up next? I'm already addicted and want to continue playing. Once you've decided on the next target for acquisition, I'll go explore the way first."
Liang Fei: “…”
This trick can only be used once, because after using it once, Xu Guyong's reputation will be ruined. Even if there are still companies that dare to ask for his investment, they will never allow such a devil to interfere in the company's daily operations.
After chatting for a while, Liang Fei got up and left. When he walked out of the office, Xu Guyong stood at the door and waved goodbye with a big laugh: "Boss Liang, take care, and welcome to come to NIO to inspect our work again!"
The people in the corridor quickened their pace and left angrily at the sight of Liang Fei with a very ugly expression on his face.
On the way back, Tang Ruijie asked worriedly, "Boss Liang, although Boss Xu has done an excellent job on this task, I still have something to worry about."
Liang Fei took a look and asked: "Which aspect?"
"In terms of reputation."
Tang Ruijie sighed and said, "Boss Xu used his charm to alienate the female executives. Although it did have a great effect, you will take over Weilai sooner or later. If you let it be known that the company's executives did something to the female employees, it will have a very bad impact. What do you think?"
This is a very noteworthy point.
Liang Fei agreed with Tang Ruijie's statement. After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly asked Zheng Peixin: "Peipei, do you have any solution?"
Tang Ruijie glanced at Zheng Peixin and thought that this might be Mr. Liang’s first test for his cousin, the rice cake goddess. Oh my gosh, the intensity is so high right at the beginning, I don’t know if Zheng Peixin can handle it.
According to the inherent thinking, at this time, you need to find a professional public relations team to discuss countermeasures, think about how to eliminate the impact, and then act quickly to nip these in the bud before public opinion and rumors form.
This is very professional stuff. How could Zheng Peixin, a college graduate, know about it?
Mr. Liang is too harsh, Tang Ruijie thought.
In fact, Zheng Peixin had been listening carefully to the conversation between Liang Fei and Tang Ruijie, including the visit to NIO headquarters just now, she also accompanied them throughout the whole process.
Facing Liang Fei's question, Zheng Peixin thought about it, turned around and looked at him, and said: "If a girl was played with by Mr. Xu and then abandoned, and therefore worried about causing public opinion..."
"Then let Mr. Xu find a few more male employees. If the news gets out, the female employees will be deceived, and the male employees will also be deceived. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this news is unreliable, and then it will spread that a competitor is deliberately spreading rumors to tarnish the company's image!"
"This is called a negative equals a positive!"
Looking at Zheng Peixin's clear and stupid eyes, Tang Ruijie was stunned and speechless.
Liang Fei was the first to applaud, and said with relief: "Pepe, I have always been worried that you would use up all your spiritual energy and talent by living at home for so long. Now I realize that I was wrong, so wrong."
"You are keeping a low profile. If you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing!"
