Technology company, I will become the light of China!

The island nation of Tokyo.

After a night of rest, Yao Nana and Lan Junyi decided to act separately.

Yao Nana handles Toyota Group business and is responsible for board membership and post-layoff compensation guidance for senior management.

With the presence of three burly men, Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang, and the fact that the severance pay was calculated according to the highest standards, even if some executives were unhappy, they had no choice but to take the money and leave the company.

Lan Junyi and Mo Yuancheng went to the villa area in Tokyo to choose a house suitable for long-term residence. Taking over the Toyota Group is not a short-term operation but requires long-term management, so it is impossible to stay in a hotel every day.

"Sato Koichi, from now on, you will be the general manager of the marketing department."

"Kaneko Koji, you will be transferred to the automobile production factory and be responsible for secretarial work. You need to submit production materials and research and development progress reports to my mailbox every day."

"Shunsuke Tamura, you take over the public relations department."

"Mikami Fuu-kai..."

According to Chen Xing's instructions, Yao Nana fired a large number of senior executives of the group. After showing her authority, she immediately began to show favor, allowing many people in the group to be promoted at least one level.

For ordinary employees, they don’t regard the company as their home. They will support and believe in whoever promotes them or increases their salary.

To put it bluntly, workplace relationships are similar to those of drinking buddies.

If you have wine and meat, then we are friends. When we drink and eat meat, neither of us will care about each other's character or whether we have done anything dirty.

But what if you have no wine or meat?

Sorry about that.

The friendship ends here.

Just when Yao Nana had almost made her arrangements and was thinking about visiting the car manufacturing factory, her cell phone suddenly rang.

"President?"

Seeing Chen Xing's name, Yao Nana quickly left the meeting room and found a relatively private space to answer the phone.

"President, are you looking for me?"

"How is the takeover progress of Toyota Group?"

Chen Xing got straight to the point.

"I was planning to give you a unified report tonight, but I didn't expect you to call me. Let me give you a brief summary." Yao Nana thought that Chen Xing blamed her for not reporting the progress in time, so she quickly found a reason to excuse herself.

After taking a breath, she continued, "I have strictly followed your instructions and dismissed all the original board members from their positions. I have also dismissed Takahiro Nishikawa from his position in the company. I have also replaced a number of senior executives in various departments of the Toyota Group, and I am just making new appointments."

"Well done."

While Chen Xing was praising him, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "What did Nishikawa Takahiro say? Have the high-level officials of the island country contacted you?"

"I haven't contacted you. I haven't seen Takahiro Nishikawa all day."

Yao Nana answered truthfully.

Just after she finished speaking, she continued: "Yesterday he promised to give me a reply in three days. I wonder if he is acting as a lobbyist."

"It's just a delaying tactic." Chen Xing shook his head and said in a deep voice, "How much money does Toyota Group have left on its books?"

"A delaying tactic?"

Yao Nana was a little confused. Could it be that Chen Xing had obtained some inside information?
When she heard Chen Xing asking about the funds on the books, she said, "Converted into Dragon Country currency, there is about 431 billion left, but Toyota Group has a lot of outstanding balances, so the actual available funds are less than 140 billion."

Anyone who has done business knows that many people like to delay the final payment.

For example, in construction projects, the contractor likes to withhold a portion of the workers' salary balance. Only when they return to the construction site the following year will this balance be settled, but instead their wages will be withheld for another month.

The same applies to doing business. If you do your best to get the other party to hold back the balance, you don’t have to worry about the quality of this batch of goods or the next batch. Once there is a problem, you can directly use the balance to compensate, and there is no need to haggle at all.

Rather than holding back the final payment, it is better to identify the pain points and make the partners behave themselves.

"431 billion..."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

He did not hesitate, and said with a smile on his face: "Start the Dismemberment Plan. You can spend the money as you like. As for the employees of Toyota Group, you can make some appropriate moves."

"what?"

Yao Nana was confused.

Didn’t we have a nice talk yesterday?

Why so suddenly?

If the Toyota Group is operated with the purpose of "dismemberment", it will be irreversible and millions of island workers will be implicated.

"They have already made their choice. You can indulge yourself as much as you want. After all, we can't bring back that money. We should try to cut off Toyota Group's liquidity as soon as possible."

"..."

Yao Nana was silent for a few seconds.

More than 400 billion.

How can I spend this quickly?
investment?

Certainly not.

For the company's major projects, the second largest shareholder gives Nishikawa Takada a veto power.

“I can only buy, buy, buy.”

Yao Nana murmured to herself.

Although there is a difference between company money and personal money, if the chairman wants to spend the company's money, who can stop him?
For example, when buying a luxury car, nominally it is the company's car, but the chairman has the right to use it 24 hours a day.

You have 24-hour usage rights. How is this different from owning your own car?
……

And on the other side.

In the wealthy villa area near Tokyo Tower, the real estate agent was leading Lan Junyi and Mo Yuancheng to a mansion.

There are two stone lions in front of the mansion. The male lion is stepping on a hydrangea, looking majestic and powerful, representing power and status. At the feet of the lioness, there are cubs playing, implying the prosperity of offspring.

With two lions guarding the palace, it is obvious that this is a palace with elements of Dragon Kingdom culture.

The real estate agent was a Chinese from Longguo named Fu Dongping. He was not tall, about 170cm, and wore the agent's signature suit and leather shoes. He had feminine features and gave off a sly, shrewd, calculating look.

Fu Dongping stepped forward and introduced: "I see that you two are not interested in Western-style or Japanese-style villas, so let's take a look at this garden villa and see if it suits your taste."

"This is a garden villa we built based on the Longguo Su style of gardens. We invited Gu Hu, a master of Longguo Su style architecture, to personally guide us. The two lions in front of the gate are majestic and majestic. Looking at the brick-carved gatehouse and the gate, it gives people a sense of grandeur and a sense of déjà vu of a wealthy family."

"Come on, let's come in."

Fu Dongping opened the door of the mansion and what came into view was a small front yard. A paved stone brick road extended to the inner courtyard, and there was a neatly trimmed welcoming pine on both sides.

On both sides of the Welcoming Pine, there are many strange and bizarre stones.

In ancient times and even in modern times, stone has the meaning of "backbone".

Before Taishan Stone was prohibited from being taken out, many dignitaries liked to use Taishan Stone to suppress their residences. However, these are probably not Taishan Stone, but just ordinary stones.

"These two welcoming pines are very beautiful." Lan Junyi couldn't help but admire.

"To be honest, it alone is worth 1800 million Dragon Country coins. It was specially cultivated in Dragon Country and then transported back here."

Fu Dongping explained.

"Two trees are worth 1800 million Dragon Country coins. Rich people are so extravagant." Lan Junyi complained in his heart. He now wanted to turn around and leave. He felt that the price of this mansion must be over ten billion.

But since he was here, he also wanted to see what a luxurious garden looked like.

"You two come with me."

Fu Dongping continued to lead the way.

The three of them walked into the inner entrance hall, and he continued, "There is a main building and two auxiliary buildings here. The left and right sides are auxiliary buildings. I will show you around first."

As he spoke, he took Lan Junyi and Mo Yuancheng to the right.

Passing through the wind and rain corridor, what comes into view is the garden scenery, with carp swimming in the artificial lake, which is quaint and charming.

Continue walking along the corridor and you will reach the annex building.

It is called an annex building, but in fact it is no different from a villa.

The moment he opened the door, he could describe the room as magnificent and luxurious, which opened Lan Junyi's eyes.

I didn’t have the chance to meet him before, but now that I have met him, I found that wealthy people really know how to enjoy life.

The exterior was antique and the interior was magnificent. He couldn't imagine how happy he would be if he could live in such a mansion.

“What is the total area?”

Lan Junyi asked.

"Eight acres." Fu Dongping responded.

Mo Yuancheng swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say anything. How much would it cost to build the Su family garden mansion on eight acres of land?

"good."

Lan Junyi pretended to remain calm.

"This mansion has been idle for a long time. Daily maintenance and care are a considerable expense. If you really want it, you can get it for 7 million Dragon Country Currency."

7 million Dragon National Currency...

Lan Junyi and Mo Yuancheng looked at each other.

This price was completely beyond their imagination. The houses they had just seen were all worth tens of millions of Dragon Country currency, and now suddenly a mansion worth 7 million appeared. Did Fu Dongping think too highly of them?

Just when Lan Junyi was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, his cell phone suddenly rang and the caller ID showed it was Yao Nana.

"Hello, Sister Nana." Lan Junyi greeted her. He thought Yao Nana called specifically to inquire about the housing situation.

"The president called us just now and asked us to spend all the money in Toyota Group's account, a total of more than 400 billion yuan. You should share some of the cost." Yao Nana went straight to the point and informed them of the situation.

"Spend all 400 billion?"

Lan Junyi swallowed.

How to spend this?

This means that every meal must be eaten in portions, not poured out?

But then again, if I use my own money, I definitely can't afford a mansion worth 7 million, but if I use the company's money, that's a different story.

The RV was purchased with the company's money, and they only had the right to use it for 24 hours.

But if you have 24-hour access, what’s the difference between that and your own?
It is actually an unspoken rule to use the company's money to enrich your own life.

For example, in Longguo, many companies will purchase a large number of luxury cars to offset taxes, which not only satisfies their selfish desires, but also allows them to reasonably avoid taxes.

If you get tired of driving it, or need to "pass it on", you can sell it to someone who needs it at a cheap price based on the depreciated value of a used car.

This is also the reason why many luxury cars are owned by certain companies.

"Okay, watch your spending and be careful not to cross the line."

Yao Nana also did not forget to remind that Nishikawa Takahiro has a veto power, and any purchase needs to be justified.

"Okay okay."

Lan Junyi nodded woodenly.

After hanging up the phone, he still had a dreamy feeling. With 400 billion to spend, he didn't know what to do with it. Should he buy himself a luxury car or a luxury house?

Oh no!

Not buying it for yourself, but buying it for the company!

Fu Dongping vaguely heard something about 400 billion. He was shocked and asked weakly, "Mr. Lan, what do you think of this garden..."

"Are there any other Dragon Country-style houses?" Lan Junyi suddenly asked.

"Are you dissatisfied with this?"

Fu Dongping was puzzled. Just now, when he looked at Lan Junyi, he seemed to like him very much. Could it be that the price was too high?

"If you are not satisfied with the price, we can lower it a little bit."

He added.

"No!"

Lan Junyi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "We want this one, and we want to buy two more, preferably in other cities."

"what?"

Fu Dongping's eyes widened, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

Buy two more sets?

Is this still human language?

One set costs 7 million, and if two sets are of the same level, then the cash flow expenditure will be more than billion. Who are these people? Is it black money?
Mo Yuancheng was also shocked. If he remembered correctly, there were five people from Longxing Group. This Su-style garden mansion alone was enough for them to live in. If they came with a few more, would they just leave them to gather dust?

Are rich people so willful?
its not right!
No matter how rich you are, you can't spend it like this!

Under the surprised gazes of the two, Lan Junyi nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's too troublesome to always stay in a hotel. It's reasonable to buy a few more houses, one in each city, as temporary residences for Toyota Group's senior executives, right?"

Mo Yuancheng: “…”

Fu Dongping: “…”

Have money and be willful.

This is pure "throwing money".

However, Fu Dongping also noticed that Lan Junyi mentioned the Toyota Group. He also knew that the Toyota Group was forcibly acquired by the Longxing Group. If there was such a relationship, it would be understandable for the company to squander its working capital.

"So let's sign the contract now?"

Fu Dongping decided to strike while the iron was hot.

Lan Junyi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's too troublesome to apply for a set of visas. You go back and prepare. We need to buy a property in the main cities of the island country. Oh, and if you know any car salesmen, please recommend them to me. We also need to buy new cars in bulk."

"You guys still want to buy a car?"

"Yes."

“How many units do you want to order, what brand, what type, and what’s your budget?”

"Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, McLaren, I only want new cars. If you have a formal channel, please contact me. If not, we will find someone else."

As soon as Lan Junyi finished speaking, Fu Dongping could not wait to answer: "Yes, yes, yes, Tianxia Sales is one family, there must be one."

"Then come to Toyota Group to see me tomorrow. This is my business card." Lan Junyi handed over his business card.

"Okay brother."

Fu Dongping was very excited.

If he succeeds in this deal, he might be able to cross the class barrier.

……

Not only did Lan Junyi start "throwing money around", Yao Nana also convened a group meeting, and she wanted to give herself a monthly salary of 500 million.

It's not the Japanese yen, but the Dragon Country currency.

It's not just him, Lan Junyi also has a monthly salary of 400 million.

As for Yan Hai, Zhang Yang and Xu Guoqiang, they have been hired by Toyota Group as the general managers of the security team, and their monthly salary is one million.

This behavior of not caring about the life or death of the company and aiming to hollow it out has caused a lot of discussion among many newly promoted senior executives of the Toyota Group.

Before they could express their dissatisfaction, Yao Nana directly gave them a 50% salary increase. In just a moment, everyone was smiling and felt that Yao Nana's decision was wise and powerful.

But the money was not taken for free. Yao Nana glanced at everyone in the conference room and said in a deep voice, "The car factory is going to lay off employees. Our Toyota Group is going to downsize. We plan to lay off 50,000 people this month. I don't care what method you use, you must rationalize the downsizing."

"Wow—"

There was an uproar in the conference room.

What exactly do you want to do by laying off 50,000 employees?
Reduce costs and increase efficiency?

its not right!
This is not like running a company at all, this is about destroying the company!

Just as the Toyota Group executives were hesitating, Yao Nana added, "This is your performance evaluation. Each department must lay off employees. To achieve the goal of 50,000 people, you will also receive an extra bonus this month, which is about 100,000 Dragon Country Dollars. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Gulu——"

Someone swallowed hard.

One hundred thousand Dragon Country Currency, this is his monthly salary.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

With someone taking the lead, everyone began to be swayed by money.

Running a company is difficult. Not only do you need to pay attention to cash flow, cost expenditure, annual revenue, and net profit, but you also have to keep an eye on market changes and make adjustments at any time.

but!
It's easy to destroy a company.

Using company funds mindlessly and legally, using the company's money to satisfy personal desires, once the cash flow is cut off, the company will naturally go bankrupt.

“How many people will be laid off in one department?”

"Will we be eliminated at the end?"

“Are we going to lay off employees every month?”

The eyes of Toyota Group's top executives were flashing with greed; they couldn't wait to get their hands on this windfall.

Yao Nana looked at their greedy expressions and couldn't help but marvel at the magic of genes.

Due to genetic limitations, human beings basically have bad qualities. It is precisely because of these bad qualities that people who know how to control and use them often achieve great things.

"At least five people will be laid off from each department, depending on the specific situation. I don't care what method you use, I just want the result."

Since she had chosen to dismember him, she would not show mercy.

It was also because of Yao Nana's order that the senior executives of the department returned to the office after the meeting and began to look for targets from the bottom of the performance.

Of course.

They are just looking for excuses to lay off employees.

In just half an hour, hundreds of people were notified to go to the Finance Department to collect their salaries and dismissal compensation.

The situation at Toyota Group headquarters is fine. The factory-side layoffs are not being carried out in groups, but directly in each workshop.

In three hours, more than 10,000 people went to the Finance Department to collect their salaries.

The changes in the Toyota Group caused Nishikawa Takahiro, who had been trying to delay, to become furious. He looked at the information provided by his internal confidant and gritted his teeth and said:
"Chen Xing!"

"You deserve to die, Chen Xing!"

"You actually want to destroy the Toyota Group!"

His roar had no substantial effect. Toyota Group was still frantically laying off employees. Some employees who had returned home were preparing to eat when they received dismissal news on their mobile phones.

Although the compensation is generous, basically N+ years of service, don’t forget that the automotive manufacturing industry is a guaranteed job in the island country.

Many people have no skills or business acumen and can only earn a salary by selling their physical labor to factories.

What does this amount to?
It is equivalent to the "triathlon" of Dragon Country. Didi, food delivery and express delivery have laid off a large number of employees. What else can they do?
A large number of complaint calls were made to the hotline of the island country’s top leaders.

When Saito I heard the news, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"Chen Xing really wants to bring down the Toyota Group. He really wants to kill the Toyota Group."

I thought Chen Xing would not do anything rash after spending so much money on the forced acquisition, but I didn't expect this man to be a ruthless person who only plays by the truth.

This sudden move caught the island country's top leaders off guard.

Hideki Kamioka, Mitsunari Ishida, and Koji Nomura all fell silent. Things were becoming increasingly out of control.

But they chose the path, and they need to pay for it.

In the early hours of the morning, the island country’s Ministry of Finance, Central Bank, and Social Security Department held an emergency joint meeting to discuss the issue of protection for the unemployed population.

After considerable discussion, they decided to establish a 5 trillion yen special unemployment fund to help workers with the transition.

With the green light for approval, the announcement of the "5 trillion yen special unemployment fund" appeared on the official website of the island country at noon the next day.

[Notice on the establishment of the 5 trillion yen special unemployment fund]

Dear citizens and all sectors of society, in order to cope with the current severe economic situation and the growing unemployment problem, the island government has decided to establish a special unemployment fund of 5 trillion yen to support the unemployed, promote employment, and stabilize the social economy.

The relevant matters are now announced as follows:

1. This fund aims to help unemployed people return to work as soon as possible and reduce the financial burden on their families by providing unemployment benefits, vocational training, entrepreneurship support and other measures, while promoting economic recovery and development.

2. The funding sources of this fund mainly include government financial appropriations, social donations, fund investment income, etc.

3. The beneficiaries of this fund mainly include people who have lost their jobs due to economic reasons, especially employees of small and medium-sized enterprises, temporary workers, freelancers and other groups that are vulnerable to economic fluctuations. At the same time, certain support will also be given to entrepreneurs and self-employed persons who meet the conditions.

4. Unemployed persons must apply through designated application channels and submit relevant supporting materials. After the application materials are reviewed and approved, unemployment benefits and other support measures will be issued in accordance with the prescribed standards and procedures.]
The rapidly introduced 5 trillion yen special unemployment fund has given the unemployed people peace of mind, but the question arises again, what kind of work can they do?
Going to the construction site?
As early as the 1980s, there were no large-scale infrastructure projects in the island nation.

Doing farm work?
How can an island country have so many fields?
Even with some protection, many unemployed workers on the island are still confused. They also learned from the Internet that the Toyota Group had been forcibly acquired by the Longxing Group, and that this large-scale layoff was the work of the Longxing Group.

The actual controller of Longxing Group is Chen Xing, who is less than 30 years old.

For a time, the name Chen Xing was hated by countless people on the island, who wanted to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and peel off his skin.

However, Chen Xing, who was in Dragon Country, didn't care at all and didn't feel any guilt at all, because it was not him who caused the Toyota Group's large-scale layoffs, but the choice of the island country's top management.

He had already provided an opportunity for win-win cooperation and core harmonious development, but it was the island country itself that gave up. It was not Chen Xing's fault for going too far.

The next day.

It's approaching noon.

(I want to climb step by step)

(Waiting for the sun to look at its face quietly)
(Small sky has big dreams)
The cell phone rang suddenly. Chen Xing let go of the mouse, turned his gaze away from the computer screen, and picked up the phone on the table.

"Jiang Ye."

"The efficiency is quite fast."

Yesterday, Masike came to visit and expressed his intention to sell the Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai and withdraw from the Longguo market.

Since Chen Xing was in Shenzhen and it was inconvenient for him to travel, he entrusted SAIC Group CEO Jiang Ye to make the trip on his behalf.

If you call me now and nothing unexpected happens, the visit should be almost ready.
