Counterattack starts with controlling probability

When Feng Zhiyuan heard this, he probably guessed in his heart why Wang Xiao asked him to go alone at this moment.

At present, Xu Lei's departure is a foregone conclusion. Although the R&D department is responsible for different modules of the in-depth development of "Ark", Feng Zhiyuan is the only one who can connect them.

"Damn it, you know I'm still useful, but why don't you be nicer? But later on, I can at least help Brother Lei test his strength, and also see if he's going to do anything to me."

Feng Zhiyuan thought so and walked into the general manager's office silently.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man whom he had met twice before in the company.

At first he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a new intern from some department or a new employee.

But at this moment, the man was wearing a neat suit and a tie tied to the top of his neck, looking very professional.

"Who is this? It shouldn't be a customer. After all, Wang Xiao was yelling in front of him just now..."

Feng Zhiyuan was suddenly startled, and immediately came to his senses. He had a bold guess.

"This is the guy who will replace Xu Lei and continue to serve as our Noah CTO. He will also be your direct report." Wang Xiao looked at Feng Zhiyuan, raised his head towards the empty chair in front of him, and motioned him to sit down first.

Then, he said to the man in a suit sitting on the sofa next to him, "Could you please give a brief self-introduction? The person who just came in is Feng Zhiyuan, the technical director of our R&D team. Although he often slacks off, smoking, going to the bathroom, and playing games on pay, his skills are still quite good."

Feng Zhiyuan turned and looked at the man in the suit.

"Hello, Xiao Feng. I'm Wu De, also known as WoodWU. I'm a member of Herun U30. You can see my past experiences on various websites. If you're interested, you can search for them yourself."

Wu De called him Xiao Feng right away, which made Feng Zhiyuan roll his eyes at him.

"I want you to put down your current work and immediately compile the names of all the R&D team members, their development experience, and the current project progress within two days and email it to me. If possible, it would be best to complete this work before leaving get off work."

Wu De pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said to Feng Zhiyuan.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, we're usually very busy. And didn't you hear what Mr. Wang said just now? We need to speed up the release of the new version of 'Ark'. Can't you just go directly to the human resources department for the information you want?"

Feng Zhiyuan did not treat this young new boss well and directly passed his request to other departments.

"Feng Zhiyuan, what do you mean? How much time will it take you to do such a small thing?"

At this moment, Wang Xiao jumped out, spoke extremely in favor of Wu De, and continued to point the finger at Feng Zhiyuan.

"Besides, don't bring me into this. Updating is your job, and so is reporting to the CTO. I think you're getting old, and your brain is slow! If you can't finish the work, just work overtime!"

"Boss Wang, you're talking as if I can usually get off work on time?" Feng Zhiyuan retorted, and said to Wu De, "If you're not in a hurry, just wait a little longer. I'll send it to you when I'm free. If you're in a hurry, go figure it out yourself. I'm very busy, so I'm going to work first."

Then he stood up, left the general manager's office, and returned to his workstation, thinking about something in his mind.

"Boss Wang, do all your employees have this attitude towards their leaders?"

At this moment in the general manager's office, Wu De was still a little shocked by Feng Zhiyuan's every move just now, and asked Wang Xiao.

"There's nothing we can do. These guys, relying on their technical expertise, don't take their superiors seriously. Especially this Feng Zhiyuan. He's practically in cahoots with the previous CTO, Xu Lei. First, figure out how to understand the underlying logic of 'Ark', and leave the rest to me. I'll have plenty of ways to deal with him when the time comes!"

After all, Wang Xiao still doesn't dare to do anything too extreme to Feng Zhiyuan at the moment.

However, the idea of ​​getting rid of Xu Lei's "old subordinates" had already turned into an inextinguishable flame, burning fiercely in his heart.

……

As for Li Hao, he felt a little upset after he finished his call with Wang Qiang.

Recently, the preparations for the new company have been affected by Wang Xiao and Noah Technology. He and Professor Wang are taking the time to understand the situation and formulate countermeasures.

He knew that his previous decision to contact Wang Qiang was the right one - after all, Wang Qiang's status in the investment circle and his influence on Noah were enough to deter Wang Xiao.

But the current situation is not optimistic.

He learned from Wang Qiang that the "new CTO" who replaced Xu Lei was named Wu De, and he was definitely not a simple person.

"Where exactly is this Wu De?"

While thinking, Li Hao started typing on the keyboard, retrieving information about Wu De from the Internet.

As a large number of search results appeared, his eyes became more serious.

Li Hao carefully browsed the information in front of him.

"Wu De, um... he's indeed a member of Herun U30. But why does his profile say 'serial entrepreneur'? Why does this resume look impressive, but feels like a castle in the air?"

Li Hao frowned slightly and continued to investigate further.

Soon, he saw the information of the company founded by Wu De.

"The company is labeled a small and micro enterprise, with a registered capital of 200 million yuan, paid-in capital of less than 50 yuan, and two employees..."

Li Hao looked at the screen and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Don't be ridiculous! How can the founder of such a crappy company be called an 'outstanding talent'? Besides, there's no mention of him mastering any core technologies. It doesn't make sense for him to be a CTO."

As the search deepened, Li Hao felt more and more that something was wrong.

He further checked the risk information of Wu De's previous company - the record of 40 yuan in unpaid taxes was clearly visible, which made him feel uneasy.

"This is incredible! This guy's former company is actually still at risk of tax arrears?"

Li Hao stared at the screen, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to penetrate it.

"The Huaqing Entrepreneurship Camp students may sound impressive, but in reality, they're just focusing on empty stuff like financing and strategy. Someone who only knows how to brag has no chance of truly leading Noah's technical team."

Li Hao tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and gradually figured out the truth of the matter.

Wang Xiao’s purpose was very clear—Wu De was just a chess piece in his hand to control the technical department.

Wang Xiao did not cash out Xu Lei's shares before, probably because he wanted to delay the transaction and also wanted to find an opportunity to buy the shares from Xu Lei at a low price.

"It turns out that wicked people never have martial ethics!"

Li Hao snorted coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He knew that things could not continue like this.

Thinking of this, Li Hao immediately picked up his phone and dialed Xu Lei's number.

Xu Lei's voice soon came from the other end of the phone, a little tired but still capable: "Li Hao, any new news?"

Li Hao got straight to the point: "Brother Lei, I checked on Wu De, your successor as CTO, and things are even worse than we thought."

"Wu De?" Xu Lei's voice suddenly tightened. "Where does this guy come from?"

Li Hao organized his thoughts and described in detail what he had found out.

Xu Lei was particularly surprised by the information about Wu De's shell company, insufficient registered capital, and tax arrears.

"He actually has such a background?" Xu Lei frowned as he listened. "I thought he was at least someone with a solid technical background, but I didn't expect him to be just a 'show-off'."

"Isn't that right? Not only does this guy have nothing to do with technology, he's also not very successful in the startup world. I guess Wang Xiao put him in this position just to control the R&D team and, by the way, snatch your equity from you at a low price when you leave."

There was a hint of indignation in Li Hao's tone.

Xu Lei was silent for a few seconds, then sneered, "Wang Xiao's trick is quite shady. I thought he was too happy to agree to my conditions that day. Sure enough, he won't let me go so easily. He's after my shares."

"I think you need to hurry up and find out more information from the inside," Li Hao reminded.

Xu Lei nodded on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, my previous R&D department had a technical director named Feng Zhiyuan, who was a down-to-earth person. I will contact him. Also, I don't intend to let Wang Xiao succeed just like that. Since he dares to use these methods, I don't mind giving him a 'surprise'."

Li Hao smiled and said, "That's right. Let's take a two-pronged approach. I'll continue to ask Professor Wang to help you put pressure on him. After all, he's a major shareholder of Noah and his words are influential. The company is in chaos, which will do him more harm than good. And Brother Lei, you, especially, find someone to keep an eye on Wu De and see what he's up to."

"Okay, let's do it. We'll attack both sides at the same time. Delaying for one day will benefit them, but it will increase the risk for us."

Xu Lei's voice was full of determination. Obviously, he wanted to speed up the process and end it quickly.

"Brother Lei, don't worry! As brothers, there's nothing we can't overcome. Besides, we have Professor Wang as our external aid. He will definitely not let Noah's 'Little Wang' succeed so easily."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao felt that things were generally becoming clearer.

What he was basically certain of was that Noah Technology was currently concentrating its energy on how to deal with its own R&D department in order to acquire Xu Lei's equity.

This is extremely fatal for a technology company.

Besides, Li Hao's acquaintance, his schoolmate and senior, Wang Qiang, still holds a lot of shares in Noah Technology, and he will never sit idly by.

The key to the next action lies in how to use Wang Qiang's power to quickly dismantle Wang Xiao's plan.

"As long as we can stabilize the situation and help Brother Lei successfully extricate himself from the quagmire, this AI+robo-advisory project we are about to embark on will become a new starting point for our ambitious plans."

Li Hao thought so.

Then, he opened Noah Technology's corporate information and wrote down the current shareholder information.

"Boss Pi, it's your turn!"
