Chapter 720 is over
Soon, the huge front desk hall of the company was crowded with front-line employees.
Normally, they should be working in the production workshop at this time, but now, they all ran out.
Watching the crowd clamoring as they walked toward the office area, Shao Tongfeng said, "No, we can't let them continue making such a fuss. I'll go talk to them."
Peng Zhiyuan grabbed Shao Tongfeng and said, "Are you crazy? This has nothing to do with our sales department. Why are you joining in the fun? And didn't you hear what they said? The bank cut off their loan and they are asking the company for an explanation. It's useless for you to go there."
As a gold medal salesman, Peng Zhiyuan never had to worry about finding a job, so he could sit back and relax. Even if the company was about to go bankrupt, he could just stand aside and watch the show like nothing had happened.
The reason why I haven't left Infinitus yet is simply because the salary here is relatively high.
However, Shao Tongfeng did not think so. After all, he had met Lu Yiming and knew who the new boss of Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. would be after its bankruptcy.
If I don't stop these workers now, and if something really happens, Lu Yiming might give up taking over. Then how can I be the general manager? Who can I ask for the shares?
So he couldn't just sit there and watch the show quietly. Instead, he stood up without hesitation and blocked the workers' way.
"Everyone, calm down."
The workers became much quieter when they saw Shao Tongfeng appear. After all, Shao Tongfeng had great prestige in the company and his words were effective.
"Manager Shao, why are you here?"
"Manager Shao, this is none of your business. You'd better not get involved."
"Yes, Manager Shao, why are you stopping us?"
Shao Tongfeng waved his hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. The company has indeed encountered some troubles recently, but please believe me, the company can get through this difficult time, and the difficulties you encounter can be solved immediately. As long as you work hard, I promise to guarantee your job."
After hearing what Shao Tongfeng said, many people calmed down.
"Manager Shao, is what you said true?"
"Guarantee our jobs? Are you sure?"
However, just as everyone's emotions were gradually calming down, a harsh voice came from the crowd: "Haha, you talk nicely. You are just a sales director, a small official. Do you think the company is yours? You also want to guarantee our jobs, can you guarantee it?"
Shao Tongfeng looked closely and found that the person who was speaking was actually the workshop supervisor Liu Changsheng, Liu Zongguang's nephew.
Seeing this, Shao Tongfeng was quite surprised and suddenly had more thoughts in his mind.
After hearing what Liu Changsheng said, those people who had joined Liu Changsheng in making trouble suddenly became restless again.
"That is, how can you, as a sales director, guarantee our jobs?"
"The company is not yours, so you don't keep your word."
"We just want to get the loan today. If the company doesn't give it to us, we will go to the bank."
"Yes, that's right. Let's go to the bank and hold a sit-in. There are so many of us. I don't believe the bank will dare not agree to our request."
Shao Tongfeng listened to these people's shouting and remembered what Liu Guangzong said to him when he decided to give up. He gradually had a new idea in his mind. He stared at Liu Changsheng and asked seriously: "What do you want to do with these people?"
Liu Changsheng raised his head slightly, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face, and said: "Of course we should ask the company for an explanation, and also ask the bank for an explanation. Didn't there previously say that the bank would not lend money? And we are required to pay back the money, otherwise the employees will be cut off from their support. If the bank does not lend us money, how can we produce? How can we make money if we don't produce? How can we repay the bank loan if we don't make money?"
His logic was very smooth and flowing. The workers who entered the factory these days had a low level of education, so at first glance they felt that what Liu Changsheng said made a lot of sense.
"Yes, that's right."
"The bank deliberately messed with us. Is it too much for us to ask the bank for an explanation?"
"Manager Shao, stop pretending. The company is going bankrupt. Do you think we don't know?"
"Stop talking nonsense with this guy, let's hurry to the bank."
Shao Tongfeng shouted loudly: "Don't go!"
At this moment, Liu Zongguang walked out of the elevator. Seeing the crowd of people in front of him, his face suddenly changed and he shouted, "What's going on with you?"
He looked around and then stopped at Shao Tongfeng's face. He said with a dark face, "Director Shao, please come to my office."
Before, Shao Tongfeng had heard from Liu Zongguang that the company was going to organize a riot to put pressure on the bank to get a loan. Now that he saw that the rioting team was led by Liu Changsheng, he immediately understood what was going on. Shao Tongfeng, who had already made up his mind to follow Lu Yiming, obviously did not intend to continue to follow Liu Zongguang. He said directly in a tough attitude: "Boss Liu, there is nothing that cannot be said to others. If there is anything, let's talk about it in front of everyone."
Liu Zongguang's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. He stared at Shao Tongfeng and said viciously: "Okay, now everyone has become arrogant, and my words are no longer effective, right?"
Shao Tongfeng looked calm and even said jokingly, "Boss Liu, the company is now completely hopeless. I guess you've sensed that, right? Instead of dying together, why don't you show some spirit and put the overall situation first?"
Liu Zongguang laughed in anger: "What a great thing, the overall situation is important, so you are here to attack my army?"
In the past, Liu Zongguang often used the phrase "putting the overall situation first" to pressure his employees. On several occasions, when the company ran into problems, everyone in the company, including Shao Tongfeng, was owed wages for a full six months.
At that time, Liu Zongguang asked everyone to "put the overall situation first."
In this regard, employees can only choose to be patient.
After all, I still want to work and get a salary.
But after the company overcame the difficulties and achieved great development, the salaries and benefits of the employees did not increase. Even the six months of wages in arrears were paid reluctantly. As for compensation, there was no need to even think about it.
Just because the employees didn’t dare to speak up at the beginning doesn’t mean they didn’t feel resentful.
Now seeing Shao Tongfeng take the initiative to bring up this matter, and thinking back to how they had worked hard in the company over the years, and now the company was going to go bankrupt for no apparent reason, the resentment in the hearts of these employees suddenly burst out.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, you always ask us to put the overall situation first. Why are you unwilling to show a spirit of sacrifice when it comes to you?"
"Boss Liu, it's only natural that we get paid for our work. What you did was not fair in the first place, so don't you think people can say anything about it?"
"We want to make money! We want to work!"
Faced with more and more people shouting, Liu Zongguang's face became more and more ugly.
He originally wanted Liu Changsheng to take people to the factory to make a show of doing things first, and then go to the bank to cause trouble, so as to distance the company from the incident. But Shao Tongfeng intervened and talked these people into a rage in the factory.
Liu Zongguang couldn't tell the workers about forcing the bank to pay, so he had to swallow his anger.
Shao Tongfeng looked at Liu Zongguang without giving in, and his tone was even more resolute: "Boss Liu, No Limits is not yours alone, but the result of the hard work of countless employees in the company. Over the years, you have earned enough money and enjoyed what you should have enjoyed. Now you want to drag everyone down with you. Don't you think it's too much?"
Liu Zongguang stared at Shao Tongfeng fiercely. He instantly realized that Shao Tongfeng's attitude was not right and immediately understood: "Okay, you are betraying me!"
Shao Tongfeng shook his head slightly and said, "Boss Liu, I have never done anything to let you down, nor have I done anything that would harm the interests of the company. This time I stepped forward to stop it, just to save everyone's job."
At this point, Shao Tongfeng knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so he announced to the company's employees, "Everyone, to be honest, according to the information I received, Mr. Lu is planning to acquire our Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. We will soon have new business to start, so don't worry about losing your job."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a gust of wind blowing again on the already rough sea, and the situation suddenly became out of control.
"Mr. Lu is going to take over Infinity? Is this true?"
"Most Rich Man Lu?!"
"How did you know? You're not lying to us, are you?"
The three words "Lu the richest man" are far away from these ordinary workers. They are completely from two different worlds. Now that they heard that Lu the richest man is going to take over the Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd., everyone has a feeling that "I am closer to the richest man."
In comparison, doesn’t “working for the richest man” sound much more awesome than it does now?
Even if we take a step back and Mr. Lu takes over, is it possible that the company will still be short of money?
That's definitely not possible.
Thinking of this, everyone became excited again.
"When will Mr. Lu come?"
"I never thought that Mr. Lu would actually buy our company. Will we have a chance to meet Mr. Lu in the future?"
Liu Zongguang stared at Shao Tongfeng with an incredible expression on his face and said sternly: "Are you telling the truth? What on earth did you do behind my back?"
You are still thinking about how to bargain with the bank and the government to keep the company alive, but in the blink of an eye your home is robbed?
What is this?
"Of course it's true."
Shao Tongfeng smiled slightly, and looked at Liu Zongguang with a slightly teasing look: "You are still deliberately maintaining your scam, but I have signed an agreement with Mr. Lu last night. After the new company is established, I will serve as the general manager of the company and own part of the company's shares. These are things I will never get from a stingy person like you."
Liu Zongguang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He never expected that the person he valued the most would be the first person in the company to betray him.
Peng Zhiyuan, who was standing next to Shao Tongfeng, also looked at Shao Tongfeng in surprise. However, his mood was completely different from Liu Zongguang's.
"Fuck, brother, when did you start hanging out with Mr. Lu? You didn't even tell me in advance, that's really mean of you."
There is no doubt that since everyone is destined to be a worker, who wouldn't want to work directly for the richest man? Wouldn't the career prospects be at the ceiling?
Mr. Lu, the richest man, has so many industries under his control, so wouldn’t his promotion channels be perfect?
Isn't it a thousand times better than staying in this shabby company?
Thinking of what happened last night, Shao Tongfeng himself was a little confused and said, "I was also approached by someone unexpectedly. Last night, someone suddenly came to my house and said he wanted to take me to meet someone, and then I met with Mr. Lu. How can I notify you?"
A young female worker couldn't wait to ask, "Manager Shao, is Mr. Lu really handsome?"
Shao Tongfeng smiled and said, "He is indeed very handsome."
The female worker asked, "I heard that he is not married yet. Is that true?"
Shao Tongfeng said: "I don't know about that. But I don't think I've heard of his marriage. After all, it's impossible to keep the richest man Lu's wedding a secret."
At this moment, discussions in the hall were rising and falling, and everyone treated the boss Liu Zongguang as air - no, in everyone's mind, the boss of Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. was no longer Liu Zongguang, but Lu Yiming.
Liu Zongguang felt mixed emotions, anger, discomfort, grievance, and a series of other emotions, all surged towards him. It was at this time that he finally realized that the person who wanted to bring down Infinite Health Products Co., Ltd. was Lu Yiming!
But why did he do that?
Liu Zongguang was stumped by this question. After all, he was just a seller of sugar water. Although the scale of his business was not small, it was nothing compared to the industries under Lu Yiming.
"Shao Tongfeng, tell me the truth, is it Mr. Lu who is messing with me?"
Shao Tongfeng looked at Liu Zongguang, sighed, and said, "Boss Liu, Mr. Lu has already planned the future of the new company, and even found a new business direction for us . It can be said that the future is bright. It has much more potential than the current health care product market, which is struggling. So, Boss Liu, listen to my advice, you'd better stop struggling, it's useless."
Although he didn't know Lu Yiming's overall plan, Shao Tongfeng had worked in the system before, so he knew how attractive Lu Yiming's plan was.
Infinity Health Products Co., Ltd. can completely rely on the new track of functional beverages to rise again, and there is a high probability that it will become a large enterprise that can rival Jianlibao.
And what about Liu Zongguang?
They can only rely on the health care products market to continue to make a living and rely on bank loans to survive. However, this market is becoming increasingly difficult to do business in. Once the capital chain is broken, it will become a huge burden for Baiyun City in a few years.
Just like this, why should I fight with Lu Yiming?
The winner between the two was decided at the beginning, and smart people knew which side to take.
Liu Changsheng pointed at Shao Tongfeng's nose angrily and cursed: "Shao Tongfeng! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? What you eat, wear and use now, which one is not given to you by us without limit? It's ok that you don't know how to be grateful, but now you are actually eating your own flesh and blood. You are really an ungrateful person!"
Other people in the company can continue to work even if the boss changes, but boss Liu Zongguang definitely cannot stay here.
Similarly, as Liu Changsheng is Liu Zongguang's confidant, Lu Yiming would not allow him to stay in the new company. He and Liu Zongguang share the same fate.
Now that he sees that everyone can follow Mr. Lu, the richest man, Liu Changsheng feels a little frustrated.
After criticizing Shao Tongfeng, Liu Changsheng said to Liu Zongguang viciously: "Uncle, I mean, this guy must have sold company secrets to Mr. Lu, and that's why he got the chance to be Mr. Lu's dog."
When Shao Tongfeng heard this, he immediately sneered, "I'm not like you, who is always changing his ways to encroach on the company's interests. Every penny I get is what I deserve. And if I really betrayed Mr. Liu, do you think Mr. Liu can still stand here? Over the years, Mr. Liu has privately embezzled the company's funds many times. Did I say anything? This crime alone is enough to send Mr. Liu to prison, do you understand?"
"Also, Liu Changsheng, what have you done in the company over the years? Don't you have any idea? You used the company's rules and regulations to arbitrarily deduct workers' wages. The money was not handed over to the company, but was secretly swallowed up by you middle-level managers. Do you think I don't know about this?"
Liu Zongguang and Liu Changsheng were shocked that Shao Tongfeng would reveal such private information in front of so many people.
Liu Changsheng cursed fiercely: "You... you are slandering me! You are talking nonsense!"
Facing Liu Zongguang's gloomy face, Shao Tongfeng was not afraid at all and sneered: "Whether I am talking nonsense or not, just ask the company's accountant Zhang and you will know. I don't believe he is willing to help you take the blame."
Upon learning that their wages had been arbitrarily deducted and that the money had actually gone into Liu Changsheng's pocket, the workers, who had long been filled with dissatisfaction, completely exploded and rushed towards Liu Changsheng.
"Okay, I was wondering why my salary was so much less in those few months. It turns out you took it. Return it to me now!"
"Damn it, the company has fallen into this state because of you parasites, otherwise how could the company have problems?"
"I was so pissed off! My wife made me sleep on the floor for a week because of this incident!"
"Beat him up to vent your anger!"
“That makes sense!”
No one knew who shouted, but everyone's pent-up emotions suddenly surged up. The company was going to be taken over by Mr. Lu, the richest man, so it was natural for those who had grudges to take revenge and those who had been wronged to seek justice to seek redress.
Liu Changsheng was suddenly pushed to the ground, and then fists fell on him like raindrops.
Liu Changsheng never expected that these people would start fighting. Feeling the pain coming from his body, he screamed loudly: "Uncle, save me..."
