In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 609: Ability is the basis of freedom

In fact, as soon as these two came in, they fired everyone except the R&D department.

Of course, there are people specifically assigned to take charge of eliminating redundant staff, but more importantly, this is a pit left behind by Mr. Zhang’s own poor management in recent years.

He has to fill it out himself.

Shareholders such as Shanghai Automobile Group and state-owned assets are certainly unwilling to move away once they are untied, so the main body of Gaohe Automobile still has to be in Shanghai.

Including the design, R&D center and marketing center must be in Shanghai.

After all, the former represents the foundation of technology. If it is removed, it will sooner or later be undermined. The latter is the embodiment of the performance of the wallet. Then all the investments made by relevant parties to build Gaohe Automobile will be meaningless.

It just floated outside before the production system, and it didn't matter where it went.

However, the registered address of Jingxi Industry is also in Shanghai, so this is not a big problem. Brother Qiang brought two "senior executives" to talk to all parties.

Zi Xiaowei first passed the good news to the child's mother.

Diane was surprisingly quiet, looking at everything in front of her in a daze.

The whole building is really beautiful inside.

In accordance with the image created by technology companies, an entire floor is used for reception purposes that are full of Internet atmosphere to show to all parties.

The bright, clean and spacious space, with sofas, tea tables and negotiation areas everywhere, is the kind of petty-bourgeois art space that European and American culture emphasizes.

However, Zi Xiaowei described it as a laxity that was full of low productivity.

European and American countries do not have the technological and economic advantages they still have, but instead have learned all the superficial things that others advocate.

That's why he frowned as soon as he saw it. At the stage of life and death of the enterprise, the boss was outside begging for investment everywhere, while the inside of the company was enjoying a peaceful life.

This is a hammer of cohesion.

This was also the first time Gao Tingting saw such a scene.

Seeing those ordinary employees with confused expressions gathering to do human resources handover, basically all of them were laid off and their labor contracts were terminated, and they were given enough compensation according to Shanghai standards and asked to leave.

Still feeling a bit reluctant: "This... at least the receptionists and ordinary clerks need someone to do the work, can't they stay?"

Lian Maizi had to communicate with Fang, a co-expert in IPO, in his capacity as the executive president of Jingxi Automobile, through the merger and acquisition of this automobile company. Only then could the three of them sit on the sofa in the reception area and watch leisurely.

Of course, since people kept coming in waves, they were not very noticeable.

They were three country bumpkins from Jiangzhou, and Gao Tingting was wearing glasses and a baseball cap.

Zi Xiaowei carefully instructed his students, "A new emperor appoints new ministers. Why did this company, previously invested in billions, become stagnant and lack market competitiveness? There are many reasons. The simplest solution is to completely overthrow it through revolution. Ineffective appeasement or even conciliation tactics, attempting to minimize the impact of such an acquisition, often ultimately undermine the costly merger and acquisition. It's a classic case of a thousand-mile dam being destroyed by an ant hole. If they have confidence and ability, they can choose to apply again... But the bigger reason is that we don't need so many idle positions here."

In fact, the main reason is that even though the boss has changed, nothing has changed. Everyone will subconsciously continue with the previous mentality and continue to play badly.

Dai Anni, like she was finishing a Tai Chi practice, turned back and said gravely, "Look at those people over there. Do they even care at all? This company has been on the verge of bankruptcy for quite some time now. Xiaowei proposed a buyout six months ago. Aside from a very few who still have the illusion of sticking with the boss, most of those who remain are incompetent with nowhere else to go, or even just parasites who were shoved in by connections to live off the fat of the land. Do you think Anni Underwear hasn't received hints of this or that before? Don't overly sympathize with irrelevant people. No one will care about you when you're bankrupt... Oh, you're so pretty, there should be more people who will take advantage of your misfortune and support you."

The little leopard was so angry that he bare his teeth and wanted to bite the lioness.

But the lioness looked past her at the child's father: "I kind of understand what you mean. Once ordinary people solve their economic problems, they'll start thinking about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, chasing stars, traveling and having fun. We've solved the problem of business survival, so we really should focus on what we can do for society."

The teacher felt that this was the most rewarding student he had mentored this year: "Do you remember the car we drove to Yangjia Village for the first time? You cried your eyes out on the way. Today we acquired this car company..."

Diane only realized it at this moment. Her eyes were gentle at first: "It's been a year... Did you buy it as a souvenir?" Then she immediately said sharply: "I want it!"

Gao Tingting was leaning in the middle with a hopeless expression, watching the two of them fall in love through her.

Now he also showed contempt and rolled his eyes. Isn't this the most degrading thing between lovers?

In fact, for Diane, she didn't care about the ownership of the company. In her opinion, it was just like an ordinary girl asking her boyfriend to give her flowers to show her attitude.

At most, it's a bit unreasonable to ask for a fruit phone as a gift.

Zi Xiaowei also tried to deceive him: "You don't want to be the boss and worry about it. Susanna came to Jingxi Industry as a nominal shareholder to replace me, and she also became the majority shareholder here. Like Lao Zhang, they are mascots... How about you just be an independent director in name only? We can just treat it as a merger and acquisition as a souvenir for you."

Diane was satisfied.

At this moment, Maizi sent a message to Gao Tingting: "You can ask the master to come and communicate with the technical center to stabilize the morale. This is the part he values ​​most." Chang Yueling really has no work ability and interest, so it is most appropriate for her to sit there with Qiang's wife as the daughter of Changjiang Automobile and accompany Brother Qiang to chat with all parties. She is also good at this.

Instead, it was Maizi, who had previously worked in the Automotive Research Center for half a year, who first brought the IPO joint experts to contact the Design and R&D Center.

Because both of them are IPOs of Brother Qiang, these financial experts are from the same group, and we need to let them have an idea of ​​the selling points of this car company that seems to be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Maizi happened to be studying industrial design and was a professional in this field.

In fact, at this moment, Zi Xiaowei sent a message to Lao Chang, and the general manager of the Changjiang Automobile branch in Shanghai also came to report with all the technical experts.

It’s just that the auditing, finance, and legal firms have deliberately cut off all external contacts.

At this moment they are only responsible for Jingxi Industry.

They were all sitting excitedly on the sofa in the reception area, not daring to approach Mr. Wei and pretending not to notice the two ladies sitting next to him.

Now that Sister Lin came down to pick people up, Zi Xiaowei nodded and took them upstairs.

Anyway, it seemed like they were taking over some kind of department, so no one even looked at them twice. Gao Tingting and Dai Anni followed in without hesitation.

In fact, those who were sitting in the high-level conference room on the second floor were also discussing this matter, whether to contact various media to announce this "exciting" revival and merger transaction.

Chang Yueling, upon hearing Zi Xiaowei's warning, shook her head nonchalantly, "This isn't a good thing. How can a car company that's about to be acquired or merged really be a good brand? This is negative news. Rather than spending money and resources to smooth over this negative image, it's better to quietly let it go. We believe in our marketing capabilities. With our extensive experience in selling over 2.5 million passenger cars this year, we will help Gaohe Auto quickly amaze consumers nationwide with its dazzling presence..."

She was so good at saying these kinds of clichés that she was much more adept than Qiang's wife who tried hard to appear ambitious.

After all, Old Chang had spent twenty years trying to train his daughter to take over.

It's enough to pretend.

The real stuff is still with Zi Xiaowei.

A beautiful glass building with a U-shaped atrium and corridor.

I didn't take the elevator, but walked up the stairs and admired the green area in the center, which was a little too lush.

The independent director took a liking to the company and said, "You like this kind of company the most. It's a good idea to keep it. When you come to Shanghai, there will be a garden for you to tinker with."

Others are obsessed with companies worth tens of billions, and this is what she is interested in.

The space upstairs is exactly the same, with the second floor being mostly occupied by meeting rooms of various sizes, used for marketing centers, production system suppliers, and so on.

The third floor is where the now empty white-collar workstations and various department compartments are located, and the fourth and fifth floors are the R&D center.

It is also the kind of place with cafes and leisure areas everywhere, and a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Hundreds of software and hardware engineers and designers of different ages, as well as some technicians wearing work clothes and even greasy stains, all fill the space with a confused and expectant look.

Now everyone focused their attention, looking past the graceful wheat fields and towards the young man and woman who appeared on the steps.

Zi Xiaowei said jokingly: "This kind of office design is because there aren't that many people, but they still try hard to appear busy to save face. Hi everyone, I'm Anchor Xiong..."

Damn, someone is reaching for their phone and holding it up to take a picture. This company's management style is really lax.

Zi Xiaowei stopped raising his voice and looked over there quietly, leading hundreds of people to look over there, using invisible pressure to show the attitude of the class teacher.

They watched Ding Minggui silently squeeze over and delete photos from the phone of the young engineer who was still pretending to be indifferent, even including a bunch of secret photos of Maizi he had taken before. They deleted and emptied the trash and checked the cloud space.

Hundreds of people spent precious time watching the little bodyguard delete the photos bit by bit to confirm that everything was correct under the guidance of the photography assistant sent by Tingbaobao.

Just now, facing the scene downstairs that was almost entirely filled with administrative personnel, Zi Xiaowei asked everyone to leave without hesitation, including various directors and even vice presidents.

But when facing professional technicians, I won’t be so domineering, what if I cut a major artery?

But rules must be established.

For those who are worth winning over, it is because their previous upbringing was not good enough and they need to be taught.

And now a group of IPO joint experts, mostly foreigners, are standing by, obviously evaluating the all-round capabilities of the actual controller.

Zi Xiaowei is also not shy about showing off his skills.
