Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 529 Contradictions
"Do you have your own ideas now?" Sun Miao glanced at everyone present. "Shuyun, you are right. The ministers did raise objections at the beginning. But after I reported Mr. Li's opinions, didn't you all accept them?"

"I accepted it at that time because I couldn't refute it, right?" Zhou Yang seemed determined to fight to the end. "You don't have to talk about the past. I didn't say too much. I simply thought that Mr. Li should also look back at his original decision."

"You mean today's result is purely negative? It's entirely caused by Mr. Li?"

Zhou Yang shook his head. "Sun Miao, stop using office politics. Li Yan has the final say in future technology. I know that you should not use such low-level means as setting traps on me."

Bai Shuyun calmed down a bit. "Boss Sun, we are just discussing this. No matter how these softwares emerge, we should not just sit back and do nothing. It is indeed a bit unprogressive to just operate without upgrading."

"Okay." Sun Miao sat down with a smile. "Then let me make it clear. Mr. Li's opinion is that we need to continue to innovate and face challenges based on emerging software."

Wang Zi suddenly spoke up, "Mr. Zhou, if you are interested in drones, I can give Mr. Li some advice."

Zhou Yang on the other end was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed rapidly, and finally he answered with a puzzling "Huh".

Sun Miao also received a message on his mobile phone: Zhou Yang has objections to not being able to take charge of Star Technology, so there is no need to argue with him.

"The requirements are still the same. All relevant persons in charge, go back and communicate with the management of the subsidiaries in charge, and then we can hold another expanded meeting to discuss the details. Minister Jiang, there is one more thing that is only for you."

Jiang Hongying sat very upright.

"Propaganda work needs to be strengthened. The tasks of a cultural media company are far more than just a promotional film. These have been mentioned before, but we did not pay attention to them. They should be promoted simultaneously."

"clear."

"Let's work out the plan the day after tomorrow, and report to Mr. Li."

"Ok."

"Does anyone have anything else to say?" Sun Miao sorted out the notes in his hand without raising his head.

"Is this the way to deal with the problem?" Bai Shuyun spoke, and everyone looked at him.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"Then I really have something to say. Everyone knows Wei Zheng, right?"

"You've said this more than once. I know what you're going to say." Sun Miao stopped taking notes.

Bai Shuyun stared at Sun Miao. "Boss Li has too many things to do now. He may not be able to take care of all the matters, and he may not even know what we have done. Just like back then, didn't you and Zhao Tianya also try the stupid trick of the special edition of Super Life Circle?"

"That's indeed my problem. Besides, Mr. Li has also realized it."

"Mr. Li often does not communicate with the management of the subsidiary companies, but now they are the ones doing a lot of the specific work. They cannot understand Mr. Li's ideas, and the contradictions are already huge!"

"If you know there is a conflict, you should deal with it. If you can't handle it, report it."

Bai Shuyun's expression was already very unhappy. "Report? Report to you? How can I expect you to resolve the conflict when you have no opinion of your own and only follow Mr. Li's orders?"

Sun Miao's expression was very ugly.

"I'll be frank!" Bai Shuyun made up his mind. "I just think that Mr. Li's management of Future Technology is not detailed enough! It was a stupid move for him to allow external software to be freely listed on the shelves. It was also a stupid move for him to allow competitors' products to run rampant. Now he is still obsessed with cultural propaganda. I really don't understand why he is still obsessed with cultural propaganda in the face of such a situation? Is it just to let his woman appear on camera?"

"Bai Shuyun!" Sun Miao slammed the table and said, "Come with me now, let's go and talk to Mr. Li directly!"

"Isn't that all you know?" Bai Shuyun said with a hint of sarcasm. "When it comes to something you can't handle, you want us to face Mr. Li directly. If you can't shoulder this responsibility, don't take on the title of First Minister."

"Why, I'll give it to you, do you dare?"

Bai Shuyun was silent for a moment.

"To be honest," Li Guangde rarely spoke, "I'm not in charge of anything. As a designer, I'm not in charge of the latest product appearance. I'm relatively marginal and shouldn't say anything. Mr. Li is happy to put me in the position of director and appreciates my contribution in the past, so I thank him as well. But perhaps, bystanders can see more clearly. The real conflict among you is not with Mr. Li. If it were, you would have gone to his office long ago."

Wang Zi smiled.

"You guys are engaging in a power struggle." Li Guangde glanced at Zhou Yang.

"I'll just talk about the facts." Bai Shuyun said.

"Mr. Li welcomes you to discuss the matter with him at any time." Wang Zi said, "I can help you contact him right now. Mr. Sun doesn't need to go with him. Mr. Bai, do you need it?"

Bai Shuyun also showed the same complicated expression as Zhou Yang, and also gave a puzzled "humph".

No one is stupid, and no one wants to be the second Zhao Tianya.

"Okay," Sun Miao concluded, "Today is our internal meeting of ministers. I don't want this information to reach Mr. Li's ears without everyone's consent. That would be bad for all of us."

After the meeting, Liu Liwei stayed behind and had a personal conversation with Sun Miao:
"Boss Sun, Ele.me has a lot of problems internally. Be prepared for things to get out of hand and be sent to Boss Li."

"Come to me first, anyway."

"I think so, but the conflict between Li Kai and Hong Yang is almost irreconcilable. What they do is no longer within my control."

"Are you worried that if you put pressure on them with 'Shangcai' this time, they'll explode?"

"Yes, that's to be expected."

Sun Miao walked to the smoking room and lit a cigarette, "Okay, let's explode."

"That……"

"It's nothing but a scolding from Mr. Li." Sun Miao sighed, "Anyway... it's time to teach these eager people a lesson. The seeds planted by Zhao Tianya have really sprouted."

At the Ele.ba company headquarters during the day, Deputy General Manager Hong Yang was sitting in the office of General Manager Li Kai with a stack of documents.

However...the two of them sat on the sofa at the door, with Hong Yang sitting in the main seat making tea, while Li Kai sat in the guest seat listening to the report.

To a certain extent, it can reflect the subtlety of the relationship between the two.

Li Kai is actually still very young. The reason he was able to sit in the position of general manager was mainly because he started Ele.me as part of an entrepreneurial team during college, and was later appointed by Li Yan as a matter of course.

But the current Ele.ba is completely different from the student homework he messed with.

Li Kai expressed his inability to do the job more than once, but he was able to keep his position because he unconditionally carried out orders from his superiors.

Hong Yang, who was appointed later, is a middle-aged man. He is the one who has real experience in managing Internet companies and is obviously more than one level higher than Li Kai in operational management.

Li Kai is also a person who easily shows his timidity - otherwise, which company boss would accept the second-in-command sitting in his office - so Hong Yang is basically in charge of internal management and external statements. The startup team that worked with Li Kai in college also had opinions about Li Kai sitting in the boss position, so they quickly turned to Hong Yang. Now Li Kai is right to say that he has been sidelined. If Liu Liwei had not stated several times that "the company should be harmonious", I'm afraid that Hungry Bar would have started an internal fight long ago.

"Boss Li," Hong Yang said, with big eyes, slicked back hair, a burly figure, and a very energetic look, "The company's top management has unanimously agreed to the delivery suit charges I told you about before. Take a look. If there are no problems, we will implement it first."

"I asked Mr. Liu first. Maybe it will need Mr. Li's approval."

Hong Yang immediately glared, "This is just a small matter, why do we need to report it to the senior leaders? We have been providing work suits to the deliverymen for a long time, and we still charge them for replacements when they are damaged. Now, helmets, clothes, gloves, delivery boxes, etc. are all included in one package, and they are discounted to 600 yuan. It is nothing to an individual."

"I know. Wait until I report it."

Hong Yang frowned again, "Li Kai, do you know how much our deliverymen can earn in a month?"

Li Kai took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, the average salary is 5800 yuan, and the average in developed areas is 6900 yuan."

"If you're diligent, you can easily earn over 10,000 yuan a month. Do you know what that means? The clerks in our company only make 6,000 yuan a month!"

"Boss Hong, work intensity is not a big deal. If we maintain the work intensity of our company's clerks, I'm afraid that the deliverymen will only make 3,000 yuan a month."

"Huh!" Hong Yang shook his head and sighed, "You, you, do you know our position? We are the current monopoly-level food delivery company. We control almost all the food delivery business in the country, but the salaries of our employees are not as high as those of the deliverymen?"

"You compare our lowest-level clerks with the least work to do to the deliverymen who work in the wind and sun?" Li Kai also frowned. "The average salary of our company's grassroots employees is 17,000 yuan. Is that not enough? Aren't the clerks you mentioned who make 6,000 yuan a month positions for people with connections? For other companies, 3,000 yuan for this type of position is considered high. What is there to discuss?"

"That doesn't make sense to you!"

“You just think the delivery guys are inferior.”

"That's what I thought. What's the problem?" Hong Yang was too lazy to make tea. "What are the requirements to join our company? The basic operation position salary is only 16,000 yuan. Delivery staff can make more than 10,000 yuan if they work hard. Anyone can be one of them!"

“Class consciousness is unacceptable.”

"Heh." Hong Yang laughed. "We gave them jobs! I still hold the same opinion. We gave too much profit! Merchants are making a lot of money, and the deliverymen can make a lot of money, but we are the ones who are screwed. We only get 20% to 30% more salary than normal Internet companies."

"We just need to strictly implement Mr. Li's decision."

"Here he goes again. He wants to be a saint, but he enjoys the benefits of capital, but he is unwilling to expand the pie and let us eat it too..."

"Hong Yang, you can say whatever you want, but if you say something bad about Mr. Li, I'll have to ask you to leave."

Hong Yang's face changed, and he drank two cups of tea in silence before softening his tone:
"Li Kai, do the math yourself. We now have six million food delivery riders. Six hundred yuan is just a matter of running for a few days for them. But how much can we earn? The profit of one set is four hundred and eighty. How much would it cost if we bought all six million? 28 billion! Such a small adjustment can directly bring in 28 billion in revenue! There is no reason not to do it."

"That would be like letting the new deliverymen get into debt first, which would give them a very bad experience. It would also reveal that we are starting to reap the benefits, which goes against Mr. Li's development direction."

"You're crazy!" Hong Yang almost slammed the table, "You're really crazy for your position!"

"Hong Yang, I don't know where your sense of superiority comes from. You think that the deliveryman's job is given by us, but my job, including yours, is also given by Mr. Li. If he wants to remove you, he can do so at any time!"

"He's threatening me..." Hong Yang laughed, "If he removes me, who will he let manage such a big company and such a big business? You?"

"Mr. Li is free to make his own arrangements."

"Open your mouth and say Mr. Li, close your mouth and say Mr. Li. Can you speak except Mr. Li? Can you think about our company?"

"Boss Liu came to see me this morning," Li Kai said, "In response to the recent impact of high-end private kitchen takeaways, we need to make internal reforms and response plans."

"Ha!" Hong Yang stood up and paced around Li Kai's room. "We are not even given the power to make decisions. When an opponent shows up, we need to respond?! I don't understand. I can't do it."

"Then don't follow up on this matter." Li Kai said slowly.

Hong Yang's eyes were bloodshot. "Li Kai! I really can't stand it. Aren't we hungry? This should be the project that gives the most profit in the entire future technology? It also has the biggest profit margin! I can't understand it. I want to adjust the delivery commission rate, adjust the merchant commission rate, even if it's only 10%, you have to report it, and it's not approved. Now you want to report this 600 yuan again. What does it mean?"

Li Kai simply didn't reply and just drank his tea.

"These are also agreed by the brothers and sisters in your team."

"Even if I agree, I still have to report it." Li Kai said, "This is to protect ourselves. Otherwise, if President Li finds out and blames us, no one can handle it."

"Wow! If he has any problem, let him come to me!" Hong Yang finally slammed the table, and it was Li Kai's desk that he slammed, "If you have any problem, come to me! At worst, I can just quit and take the risk!"

"You are not afraid of making a quick buck and running away, but you don't care about the risks that the company may face in the future."

"What are you worried about?" Hong Yang's tone became gentle again. "Li Kai, Li Kai, Mr. Li is busy with the promotional video and doesn't care about the company at all. How could he care about our small operations? We are in a monopoly state. Do you understand monopoly? Leeks are meant to be harvested. Mr. Li spent so much money on monopoly back then. We have to help him make it back!"

"Is that how you understand it?"

"Why not?"

"We have nothing to discuss. Please leave your proposal here. I will go find Mr. Liu later."

"..." Hong Yang was silent for a long time and took the plan back.

"What's wrong?" Li Kai asked.

"I think you are more idealistic than Li Yan. You guys who are in leadership positions really rely on being 'obedient' to keep your own piece of land. Sooner or later, you will die miserably. You can't even see that Li Yan is not interested in management now, and you are only interested in being a dog..."

Li Kai finally lost his temper, "You are a fucking dog, do you really think you are a nobody? You don't see what Mr. Li is doing, so you think he is not doing anything? Do you think Mr. Li can only do one thing at a time? You didn't dare to say anything when he was busy with research and development, you didn't dare to say anything when he was busy negotiating with the authorities, and you didn't dare to say a word when he was sorting out the company's internal affairs. Now you start complaining because of some publicity?"

Hong Yang was not annoyed, but said coldly, "Whether I am a nobody or not, you are not qualified to judge. I will go to Mr. Li in person with the plan, and I want to see how he will deal with it."

"Resign and find Wen Xin."

This is how Li Yan responded.

He didn't even look up at Hong Yang, didn't even ask who he was, and didn't even listen to Hong Yang's "reasons". After saying "Just tell me what you're doing here", and getting the answer "Submit your resignation", he let Hong Yang go find Wen Xin.

"No, Mr. Li," Hong Yang didn't even react, "I'm Hong Yang, the deputy general manager of Ele.Bar. I came here this time..."

"Aren't you going to resign?" Li Yan finally looked up, and just one glance was enough to make Hong Yang's legs go weak.

"Yes……"

"For any personnel changes at the subsidiary, please contact Human Resources Director Wen Xin." Li Yan looked at the computer screen again. "I've made it clear enough. Don't make me say it a third time."
