Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 22 The Change of Thunder

Zhang Yong rushed back to the company overnight in a hurry. Although he was only cooperating with Professor Tian to do some technical work, he could also understand that the base station network project was no small matter. This project should exceed Tiangong's annual business by several times.So he couldn't understand, how could Professor Tian make a mistake on such an important matter?

Zhang Yong didn't see Professor Tian in Tiangong's office, so he ran to the general manager Yimu's office, "Boss Yi, I have something urgent, but Professor Tian is not here."

Yi Mu raised his head and looked at the young man with admiration. Since he came to the company, he, the general manager, has become much more comfortable than before, especially the pressure from Eunuch Cao, which has basically disappeared.Therefore, he didn't mind giving Zhang Yong some special treatment, and he was very willing that Zhang Yong directly accept the command of Professor Xiaowei Hetian.Without some pressure from Skydon, he even felt that the current Tiangong would be the best Tiangong.

"I heard that you did a good job on your trip to Huaizhou? I credit you. You asked Professor Tian for the test of the Engineering Center, right? There are project reviews in Professor Tian's academy these days, and he can't take care of them, but today Xiaowei Now, you go to find him directly, there is another one who is said to be your old friend."

"Xiaowei is here today?" Zhang Yong was a little surprised and hurried out. "Young man," Yi Mu smiled and shook his head.

Xiaowei didn't care about Zhang Yong who broke in through the door, but he waved his hand to stop what he was going to say, "It's just in time, I'll give you a minute, guess who this is?"

A tall, bald, pot-bellied white man stood up on the sofa, looking at Zhang Yong with a smile.

Zhang Yong's mind turned quickly, "Ray? He sent me an email?"

Lei understood his name, and came over to say hello with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, young man. I finally met you. Yes, I'm Lei. You haven't replied to my emails."

"Nice to meet you," Zhang Yong greeted in English.

A suspected beauty appeared at the door, "Xiaowei, Lei's office is ready, do you want to see it now?"

"Okay, let's take a look at Ray's new office."

Zhang Yong and the suspected beauty followed Xiaowei and Lei, and he asked the suspected beauty in a low voice, "What's the matter? Isn't he the Asia-Pacific director of SKydon? Why did he come to our office?"

The beauty replied in a low voice: "It was all arranged by Xiaowei. He said that in order to show his support for us, SKydon will move its Asian headquarters from Singapore to Beijing in the future, and it will be in our office. He will spend most of his time here in the future, so let I set up an office for him."

Zhang Yong became more and more puzzled, even if Skydon wanted to move its Asian headquarters, it would not move to Tiangong's office. What is Xiaowei planning?
The suspected beauty looked at his expression and wanted to say a few more words, but Xiaowei turned around.

"Don't guess, I'll tell Zhang Yong what's going on. Recently, there have been many rumors that the relationship between Tiangong and Skydon is tense. Tiangong is no longer the agent of Skydon. Such rumors have even spread to the engineering center. , someone told users in the past, beware of me, such a big project as a network base station, don't trust others. So I specially invited Lei here. During the two days you were away, I have brought him to visit all major projects. Clients, including northern companies and engineering centers. As long as he is there, the rumors are self-defeating, which is why I arranged an office for him."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, "Ray, this is your new office, please come in and see if everything is satisfactory."

Lei looked at the well-decorated office, "It's great, Xiaowei, indeed, it's great. Thank you, my friend."

"If you need anything else, you can go to Cathy, but if you want to find a woman, she can't help you, you can go to Cao Hua, he is a real bad guy, and can satisfy all your bad habits." The two looked at each other and laughed .

Zhang Yong couldn't help interrupting the intimate communication between the two, "Xiaowei, I have something urgent and I need to discuss it with you right away. Do you and Lei still have a meeting? When do you have time?"

Xiaowei looked calm, "Are you talking about the test report of the engineering center? No need to talk about it. I read the report and it was done very well. Now that the report is in my hands, this part of your task has been completed. Other things Let me handle it. You just came back from a business trip, do you want to rest for half a day?"

"But they kept urging, as if they were very unhappy..."

"I said, I will handle it. No problem, I never care whether the user is happy, I only care about whether the business can be closed, don't worry, I am sure."

Zhang Yong was relieved, since Xiaowei said it was okay, then it must be okay, maybe this overly smart boss is planning some kind of magic trick again.

"We've heard about the matter in Huaizhou. You did a great job. Now that you have become famous in one battle, many people outside are asking, who is Zhang Yong?"

Zhang Yong smiled, "It's not that exaggerated. In fact, we have the answers to those things in our warehouse, but no one has paid attention to them."

"Yes, we are not short of answers, we need someone who can find out the answers. You go first, Lei and I have something to discuss. Professor Tian will not come these days, you can give him the information according to his requirements Organize and prepare as soon as possible, these are no less important than the base station network. Well, you go."

Zhang Yong and the suspected beauty leave, Xiao Wei closes the door, and sits down with Lei face to face.

……

……

The reason why Lei appeared here was not as simple as Xiaowei said.A few days ago, Ray suffered a huge change in his career when he was fired from SKydon.

The strange thing is that everything happened very suddenly. Before that, no one informed Lei, neither HR nor senior management of the company talked to him.He just got two emails from HR before going to bed.

When the first letter was opened, Lei was still a little happy. It turned out that today is the tenth anniversary of his joining the company. SKydon expressed his congratulations to him and his experience of serving the company for ten years. Pick it up when you arrive at U.S. headquarters.

Lei Weiwei was a little surprised, why didn't the gift be sent over, why did he have to go back to get it?But without thinking too much, he opened the second email, and it petrified instantly.

All the resignation documents, including compensation, have been drawn up, and he only needs to sign.The email also stated that if he had any doubts about this condition, he was asked to go to the Silicon Valley headquarters to negotiate with SKydon's personnel department and legal department.

Angry and shocked, Lei immediately wrote back to question, but he found that this was the last email he received, and his Skydon mailbox had been canceled at this time and could no longer be used.He picked up the phone and called Carl, who said he regretted what happened to him, but suggested that if he had any doubts, he should go back to the headquarters to have an interview with HR.

Lei didn't sleep all night, and hurried to the office as soon as it dawned.

It was only when he arrived at the door that he realized that his access control had also expired, and he could not retrieve his personal items.

The angry Lei had a physical conflict with the security guard. Although he was born in the Marine Corps, although he is now potbellied and still strong, SKydon dispatched three security guards to hold down the five big and three thick Lei, but they couldn't stop him. Lei yelled at the office. This was originally his territory, and he was the highest official here, but now he couldn't even get in the door and was humiliated by the security guards.

With a "bang", a cardboard box was thrown in front of him, which contained personal items in his office.A figure stood in front of him with a smile. It was his former subordinate, John, the number two man in Singapore.

"Lei, all your belongings are here. I'm afraid you won't be able to take anything that isn't in this box. If you have any other special souvenirs, please tell me and I'll pick them up for you. Also, your computer Can you tell me your power-on password? Of course, if you don’t want to, forget it, cracking the power-on password is not difficult for Skydon It.”

"John, I still have some of my personal files on my computer, please allow me to copy them out."

"I'm afraid it won't work. This is Skydon's computer. There won't be any of your personal files in it. Everything belongs to Skydon."

Ray continued to curse, sending countless sentences beginning with the letter F to John and Skydon.

John was not angry, and ordered the security, "You take him out, and take out this cardboard box for him. Don't let him come near here again. If he wants to break in next time, you can call the police directly."

Lei, who was disheveled, was sitting in his car, with the cardboard box on the passenger seat.

He knew that everything was irreparable, so he tried to calm himself down, and then he picked up the phone and called Xiaowei.

……

……

If Ray hadn't been so egotistical, he would have had a hunch about the departure.Just a few days ago, he once again clashed with Skydon's top management over China's base station network project.

The amount of this project has reached 150 units, which is unprecedented in the world. This has added a lot of confidence to the negotiations between Xiaowei and Skydon. This confidence has infected Lei again, so he and Xiaowei stand firmly. together.

The 150 sets of equipment will be delivered in three years, and Xiaowei's billing period is twelve months per year.

This is absolutely unacceptable to SKydon.This time, Steve, Carl, and Chris had a rare unanimity.

Carl said, "We have always praised the success of the Chinese business, but no one realized that from the first day Xiaowei's company was established, he didn't spend a penny of his own money. The earliest prototype was supported by us for free. After that, we do business based on our accounts. BTW, his company is called SKydonChina. One day we really enter the Chinese market, and Skydon’s name may encounter problems. I never deny Xiaowei’s contribution to SKydon’s business , but sometimes, I have to think that with SKydon’s support, it’s not Xiaowei, but someone else can succeed.”

Chris replied: "I don't care about the previous things. I don't think we made a wrong decision when we gave him the bill. But this time, Xiaowei obviously touched our bottom line. Generally speaking, for Xiaowei For such a long-term partner, we can give a low-amount long-term account period. Of course, even so, twelve months is too long, or a high-amount short-term account period. The 12-month account period he requested this time is the same It's a huge amount. I can't understand why he thinks we'll take it."

Steve finally spoke, "Xiaowei's hole card is the project itself, and we all know that Skydon can't afford to lose in this project. Carl, has the tiger you raised been released?"

Carl smiled. "The tiger is out, but, Steve, I need to fix Ray, or the tiger will be held back."

Steve nodded, "Go and make arrangements, we need to solve all the problems before the official launch of the China project."
