The assistant knocked on the door and entered the office. Curious to see Mr. Liu there, he said, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Liu, this is the investigation report submitted by Zhaoxu Electronics in Shandong and Henan provinces."
Gu Shijie was busy and didn't even raise his head. "Put it down."
After the meeting, he took a look at the information, called Liu Zijie and asked him to come over. "Please ask Mr. Liu to arrange for the Compliance Department to send someone to review and inspect the textile industry and vegetable planting base. Thank you for your concern."
"it is good."
Liu Zijie waited for his assistant to go out and continued to talk about business. "Fang Guohui is dead, but the rest of his people still need to be cleared out. I have submitted the list. Please approve it when it is convenient for you.
Fire him as soon as possible and transfer him to the judicial authorities for handling.”
Gu Shijie couldn't help but frown. "Why was there no movement before? Why are there so many problems all of a sudden? He recruited more than 170 people, and more than half of them were rotten?
From this perspective, the remaining half cannot be used. You should say hello to Mr. Yao Xiangjun, the general manager of the investment company, and ask the middle and lower management to fill the gap as soon as possible so as not to delay the normal business operations of the group.
In particular, he is responsible for the real estate company's connection with financial institutions for financing and bond issuance, and he must not lag behind. Nowadays, housing prices and land prices are skyrocketing, and General Manager Lin has urged several times to get the business.
In addition, the insurance business of CICC International and Qingyun Great Eastern also needs someone to be in charge.”
Liu Zijie nodded, but unfortunately he had no one to send, so he could only wait for Gu Shijie to propose a candidate before making an exchange.
Gu Shijie continued to look at the information with some confusion, "Look at this again, the earliest traceable time is 10 months ago, when Fang Guohui was still at Chimo, he illegally charged financial consulting fees to the restaurant chain.
Under the pretext of helping restaurant chains apply for operating loans from banks, they charge a fee ranging from 3-10% each time.
Wow, the amount of money that was verified alone was over 6100 million, and the amount that was not verified was probably even more. Those who knew about it said that he was just here to take up a job, while those who didn't thought he was working in the credit department of a bank.
Putting aside the fact that he forged business flow on Pinxixi and defrauded the company of acquisition funds, you also didn't notice that he set up an agency sales company to obtain loans for discounting acceptance bills?"
Liu Zijie cried out in injustice, "How come I didn't realize it was the boss who came out to greet me and talked about taking the opportunity to acquire second- and third-tier manufacturing companies to promote the strategic development of smart home appliances.
I even had a big fight with my boss about this, but as you know, I was convinced. After all, it could provide great help to the company's development.
Now it seems to be a good move. All the first-tier manufacturers have come to Shanghai to negotiate with Mr. Sun. Maybe in a few days, the OEM home appliance series under Qingyun will be launched.
It would be unreasonable for Mr. Sun Tongyu not to treat me to a meal."
"Do you still want to have dinner?"
Gu Shijie smiled, "I advise you to go out and find out the latest news. Mr. Sun and Mr. Wang are eager to kill you, especially Mr. Wang. Don't you know how much trouble you have caused him?
Twenty-seven group-buying websites that inflate their turnover involved more than 100 million yuan in acquisition funds, and more than 100 million yuan in unfulfilled advertising contracts. Now all of that has gone down the drain.
Given the usual style of those wealthy men and women who have extended their money to MoTou, MoDu Yamen, and Tomorrow Capital, it is impossible to refund all the money, not to mention that it involves a deeper level of resource exchange.
It is difficult to sort it out in a short time, and he can only work slowly. How much he can recover depends on luck. But the foreign shareholders jumped out again and asked for management accountability, which made Wang Xing very worried.
Do you think he can not hate you?"
"Anyone can scold me, except Wang Xing."
Liu Zijie was not afraid at all, "Without this, how could he be successfully selected into the group's executive vice president assessment list?
I dare to say this to his face: the more opposition from external shareholders, the more secure his position will be, and the boss will never let him step aside. "
Then, he asked for information from the side, "You said that the boss is using the joint executive president responsibility system and let us take turns to serve as co-chairmen of the group's board of directors. Is the pressure from above too great?
You, me, Lin Wenhui, Yang Zhichao, plus Zhou Shouyuan who is in the United States and is unlikely to return to China to take charge of specific business operations, and Sun Tongyu of Pinduoduo, six executive presidents were promoted in one go.
Add to that the heads of the twelve first-tier subsidiaries, the head of the group's core department serving as executive vice president of the head office, and twelve vice presidents, and there is always a sense of impending storm. "
Gu Shijie pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Don't overthink it. The group's business is too big, and it's normal for Director Li to delegate power because he can't manage it. Besides, it's a rotation every six months.
One executive president plus two executive vice presidents, with the two vice presidents serving on the board of directors as co-chairman, vice chairman, and executive director, can effectively prevent any one person from monopolizing power.
There are six professional committees of the decision-making committee responsible for formulating and reviewing the overall strategy, and the supervisory committee and the compliance supervision department responsible for supervision, which in theory greatly limits the possibility of external shareholders interfering. "
"Of course there is no problem with the system, unless the boss intervenes personally. For example, in the case of Fang Guohui, there was no boss and the matter was dealt with at the beginning. How could it cause so much trouble?"
It is normal for Liu Zijie to have complaints. Now his subordinates are talking about it, saying that the Compliance Department is very active in catching flies. Even down to a grassroots site, they can investigate clearly the illegal reimbursement of expenses for subsidiaries.
In the first five months of this year, the Compliance Supervision Department reported and handled more than 2000 violations, dismissed more than 700 people, demoted more than 500 people, and referred more than 140 people to judicial authorities for handling.
But when it comes to the top management of the group, he changes his face and engages in a lot of exchange of interests. Some people even say that Fang Guohui secretly gave Liu Zijie tens of millions of dollars in exchange for his connivance and acquiescence.
Anyway, there is no evidence, so people can say whatever they want. They can just vent their dissatisfaction with the Compliance Supervision Department. It's because these guys keep a close eye on us, recruit secretly, and send thugs to conduct sting operations.
If there was a vote for the most unpopular management within the group, Liu Zijie would definitely top the list, with Wu Wenhui, president of the Finance Department, and Xiao Chengdong, vice president of the Compliance and Supervision Department, vying for second place.
They are all loyal lackeys of the boss, and they only know how to make trouble for the people below them.
"I always feel that the boss is hiding a lot of key information. When asked, Lin Wenhui won't tell me. He is so mysterious all day long that I don't know what he is doing."
Gu Shijie approved the documents submitted by the Compliance Department and said casually, "Have you ever considered releasing Xiao Chengdong?
If you don’t fight for some positions, you won’t get them. People follow you just to get promoted and get a raise.”
Liu Zijie's face began to become serious. He looked at him several times before speaking cautiously, "Are you serious? You haven't even become the co-chairman yet, and you can't wait to make a deal with me?"
"It's only a few days before the first round of joint meetings on July 1st, and the confirmed joint vice-chairmen are Qin Lang and Yu Li from the administrative logistics department.
The remaining two are Yao Xiangjun of the investment company and Hu Zhiyuan of Fengniao Group as executive directors.
Gu Shijie did not hide anything, "The remaining five of you are all executive directors of the head office. I have already discussed with Lin Wenhui and support Wu Yibin to serve as the vice chairman and president of WeChat Technology Group.
He has been responsible for maintaining the group's public relations. He has good connections in China, is good at dealing with various forces, and can provide support for WeChat Technology in terms of public opinion and policy.
Zhou Anquan is in charge of the software technology R&D department. He serves as the vice president of technology. After reporting to the boss, he was very satisfied.
When you asked me about the candidate for president of Micropayment, you were the first person I thought of. Unfortunately, it is impossible to transfer your position, so the only one left is Wei Kejian of the Southeast Asia branch.
And Xiao Chengdong, vice president of the Compliance and Supervision Department, and Ye Feng. However, as you know his personality, he is not sensitive to finance, so the boss prefers him to be the president of Qingyun Big Data Company.
Xiao Wei left a bad impression on his boss after what happened last time. Now the management of the Southeast Asia branch has been transferred to the Overseas Business Group and is under the direct leadership of Zhou Shouyuan. Xiao Wei's days are in danger~"
Liu Zijie interrupted, "Xiao Wei has been transferred and is now the president of the group's overseas special financial division, responsible for the construction of special Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency platforms.
He also serves as the president of Micropayment Southeast Asia branch. The boss attaches great importance to this business. At the beginning of the month, he increased the capital of Micropayment and the platform and allocated an additional US$1 million for cryptocurrency speculation.
You and I each have 1000 coins in our names, and we don’t know what they are used for. But according to the boss, these coins can be used overseas to purchase any products and services of the group in the future?
can't read."
Gu Shijie didn't understand it either, but it didn't stop him from continuing the deal with Liu Zijie, "Let me get straight to the point. After I become the co-chairman, I will push Xiao Chengdong to be the vice chairman and president of Weifuli.
In return, I want you to nominate Xie Bin as the vice chairman and president of Hummingbird Crowdsourcing Group. He will take over the position of president of the Human Resources Department that I currently hold.
With your and Lin Wenhui's support, the boss won't refuse, and the chances of approval are very high." Liu Zijie thought about it and didn't refuse.
Then he asked curiously, "The boss's checks and balances are getting stronger and stronger. You are the co-chairman, and one of your deputies is Qin Lang. Everyone knows that he is my junior fellow apprentice.
Yao Xiangjun is a newcomer. I heard that he was once designated as the successor by BOE's general manager Zhao Yanshun. Behind Hu Zhiyuan is JD's Liu Qiangdong and Zeng Haiyang from the Smart IoT division. One person from each company.
But what about Yu Li?
It seems that among the six of us, only Sun Tongyu was promoted to the position of vice chairman and president of Pinxixi E-Commerce.
Is he taking over Zeng Haiyang's position, or is he taking it from Yu Li?"
"Zeng Haiyang has no chance. The Fifth Military Commander's Office wants to push someone else to be the president of the Smart IoT Division. It is said that he is a deputy director of the General Logistics Department. The boss disagrees and he is forced to send him back.
The smart IoT platform involves the implementation of Beidou commercial and insurance business, cross-regional logistics, urban distribution, and online car-hailing platforms. It holds a very important position and is also Hu Zhiyuan’s old superior.
There are a lot of people below who strongly support him, but it's a pity that he is unlucky.
Since General Zeng cannot be promoted, there are only two people left, she and Wu Wenhui from the Finance Department. Because of me, it will be difficult for Wu Wenhui to be promoted.
Everyone knows that she and I, Xie Bin, were recommended by Mr. Yan Jianmin, a close friend of Mr. Li. Now, after Uncle Yan's retirement, he has been re-hired and will soon serve as an executive member of the Shanghai Industry and Commerce Bureau.
In October, she and Director Li will be selected as members of the Magic City Good and Evil Committee, so Wu Wenhui can't come up. As for Yu Li, she gave up on her own accord. "
As the Chief Human Resources Officer and the de facto second-in-command of the group, Gu Shijie knew all of this very well. Since Liu Zijie asked, he did not hide it.
"This is Zhaoxu Electronics' business. The importance of the foundry business is self-evident. If it is done well, it will affect the employment of millions of people in the future. It is one of the most important means to win over local government offices.
Originally, the name of Fu Yujie, general manager of Chaoxu Electronics, was among the twelve vice presidents on the first round of inspection list. However, when the list reached the Administrative Logistics Department, it was crossed out by General Manager Yu.
By the way, even He Li, the vice president of Qingyun Electronics and the president of Roewe Electronics, was unlucky and missed the opportunity for promotion.
Anyway, when the list came back to me, even Guo Xinyi's name was almost missing, and it was Wu Wenhui from the Finance Department who helped persuade Mr. Yu to give in. "
Seeing his lingering fear, Liu Zijie understood immediately, "Is it the one who is a widower, very beautiful, and has an unclear relationship with the chairman?
Mr. Yu's handling of this matter is not very decent. I can understand He Li being implicated, after all, they are all from Zhaoxu Electronics, so how come Guo Xinyi was almost removed as well?"
"Keep your voice down. Don't make any advances in front of the general manager. He doesn't even care about the position of co-CEO of the group. He just wants to vent his anger.
I think as long as Mr. Yu is here, Mr. Fu will never be promoted in this life. He suffered heavy losses in this matter alone. He won't get a penny from the options of other subsidiaries. Someone has calculated the accounts, and only Pinxixi is left.
With the option rewards we can get in our position, we can cash them out after the listing, and conservatively estimate that it will be hundreds of millions. Don’t you think it’s miserable?”
Don’t think that the top executives of the group don’t gossip. In fact, they love to discuss more than anyone else. Being in this position, it is impossible not to be careful and cautious. With just one word from the boss, they will lose everything.
For example, Yang Zhichao had been outside the core circle of the group for the past six months, but Li Zehua overruled all objections and made him return to the core in just one sentence, no matter how many people opposed it.
"Don't even mention Qingyun Electronics' Guo Xinyi. He worked for the boss as the first senior administrative assistant. He knew everything about the boss's whereabouts, who he met, and his private affairs.
Mr. Yu asked Guo Xinyi several times from the side, but he always played dumb. Now he is in charge of the electronics business, and the high-end Panda phones failed to complete the production and sales tasks on time, resulting in a surge in procurement and operating costs.
Also, the recruitment of talents for the Suzhou Research Institute and the joint research work were not going smoothly. General Manager Yu found evidence of this and held him accountable. General Manager Guo was dealt with miserably. "
"It's really tragic. All my complaints about Guo Xinyi are just groundless rumors. The only ones that can be verified are minor issues."
Liu Zijie shook his head, feeling helpless. "After all, I am the person in charge of the most important electronic business of the group, but I failed to get the position of executive vice president and even the position of vice president was almost taken away by others.
There is also Zeng Yumin, who runs Qingyun Power Technology and Times New Energy. He is so lucky. He has been in the company for less than a month, and his specific business is just a two-wheeled vehicle battery factory.
Even the batteries for mobile phones and computers are outsourced, and it is questionable whether the annual revenue can reach 50 billion. But he jumped the queue and became the vice president of the head office, which made some people hate him very much. "
"You mean Sun Hongbin? Before Shenzhou Electronics surpassed Lian Xiang, it was impossible for him to get on the list. However, his deputy Zhang Weiqiang is about to become the president of Qingyun Real Estate and Property Company.
He will soon acquire shares in Yida and will be a director of Yida Commercial Management and Longfor Properties in the future. He may even join the head office earlier than he did. "
Gu Shijie was troubled by the company's recent complicated high-level personnel transfers. "Fengyi International has always wanted to send people to the agricultural company, but the position of president is still held by the boss himself.
I have mentioned it several times but still haven't found a suitable candidate to replace him. I dare not send anyone to such an important position casually."
"Isn't Wang Fei good enough?"
Liu Zijie thought for a while and said, "He has been with the boss for a long time and has thoroughly investigated all aspects of the situation. There are no hidden dangers and he himself has this intention.
First arrange for him to be the vice president of the agricultural service company, and then adjust it after a few months to see what the boss thinks."
"This is the only way. With the help of the technical experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the professional vice president of operations from Beidahuang, it shouldn't be a problem."
Gu Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief. After Liu Zijie left, he called and reported directly to his boss, focusing on the promotion of several key people.
With his personality, he would never dare to collude privately without the boss's approval. Even if it was a change in Xie Bin's position, he would not make the decision on his own.
This is also the reason why Li Zehua chose to insist on putting him in the second position. No matter how hard Lin Wenhui fights, it will be difficult for him to surpass him.
"Well done. Let's do as you say. As for Wang Fei's appointment, put it on hold until I get to know his opinion."
Li Zehua then made some more requests, and when he hung up the phone, he said to Zhang Tao: "When we were investing overseas this time, there were two traitors who lobbied banks in Europe.
The information was leaked to Goldman Sachs. If it weren't for the cover-up by the owner of Mei Zhuang, the group would probably have already begun to face suppression from Caitai Capital.
Damn it, he was getting a high salary from the company, but this time he took away more than 7000 million US dollars in team bonuses alone. Sharing it among more than a hundred people, each one of them only got a few hundred thousand dollars, and he even sold out company secrets for a little bit of money.
Send these people to where they should go!"
Zhang Tao turned around to make arrangements, and Li Zehua added, "The personnel of the Security Department cannot be only taken from the Five Military Governor's Office. You should discuss this with Gu Shijie.
We will set up an information security office under the decision-making committee, which will be directly under your charge. Someone will come to assist you in the initial recruitment of personnel."
After he left, Li Zehua called Wang Fei over and told him about letting him take charge of Qingyun Agriculture. The latter smiled bitterly and said, "I said that Mr. Gu asked me several times.
But I have no experience in farming.”
“Who is born with experience?”
Li Zehua glared at him unhappily and said, "Just execute the grand strategy well, there are plenty of people to do the specific things below.
Of course, if you really don’t want to, the company won’t force you.”
Wang Fei thought to himself, since you said so, what else can I do? I can only agree.
Fortunately, this company is also one of the core enterprises of the group, and is not much worse than Qingyun Power, where he wanted to go. (End of this chapter)
