Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

"Mr. Sun, I think you should reconsider this. We agreed before that you would leave all the mainland affairs of this company to me, and I am the only one who can solve the monetization problem of MPEG technology. We are close friends. Have you forgotten what you said?"

"Uh, how is that possible? Brother Jiang, you can't say that. I have always trusted you, but we have to talk business. Since President Lu is willing to buy out the shares held by President Xiao at a premium, then you should let them do it. This is a good thing. You should be more open-minded. There is no need to fall out with the shareholders. I still support you. Okay, next time you come to San Francisco, I will treat you to a drink. This is a deal."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Sun. I don't want to fall out with the shareholders. I'm just worried... Hey, hey, Mr. Sun..."

“Beep…beep…beep…”

A long-distance call came in.

Jiang Wanli's face became paler and paler. As expected, it is better to rely on oneself than on others. He should have thought it through long ago. Although Sun Yansheng regarded him as a confidant, that was based on the fact that he could help him solve a crucial link in the monetization of MPEG technology. Now that the company has been established and the product is about to be launched, the other party can turn to support other people at any time.

No.

The company is mine.

He worked hard for half a year and put in a lot of effort to invent the product, and he would never allow it to fall into the hands of others.

Jiang Wanli put down the phone and stared at Lu Yang opposite him with a gloomy face: "You win."

It was a change from the harmonious scene of the two of them last night.

As he said this, he stood up and glanced at Xiao Jun, who was already very happy, and Mr. Mou, who also did not like him very much.

He walked out of the meeting room in anger.

If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would say something even more unpleasant. By then, there would be three people on the other side, himself alone, and a traitor on the long-distance phone call.

Not to mention that he has no chance of winning.

Today, it may not be as simple as Mr. Lu buying Mr. Xiao's shares. It is also possible that the chairman of the board of directors, including the general manager of the company, will have to be replaced.

Plan for today.

I can only hold my anger in for the time being.

However, he had seen through the faces of everyone present, including Mr. Sun. What he called his soul mate was all nonsense now. It was all a lie. These people only cared about money. They would support whoever could make money for the company. So what if they lost this round today? But as long as he did not make any mistakes in the future, made a good product, and launched it on the market, as long as it became popular, the company would make a lot of money, and everything would be in good shape. Whatever he lost today, he would definitely get back tomorrow.

His back was firm as he walked.

But he didn't realize that when he stood up and walked towards the door with a disdainful look, Lu Yang had already stood up and had been staring at his back. He opened his mouth several times but ultimately did not try to keep him.

"When will this guy bring him down? I don't like him. He doesn't have much ability, but he has a bad temper."

Mou Qizhong stared with cold eyes at the conference room door that was slammed shut.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Lu Yang who had stood up: "Fuck you, Mr. Lu, why are you just going to let him turn his face against us?"

Lu Yang's eyes were deep.

Lost in thought, he was also thinking about this question.

Jiang Wanli obviously no longer trusted Lu Yang.

Twice, he achieved the results he wanted with an overwhelming victory in the board of directors' vote through Sun Yansheng, whom he regarded as a confidant. This caused great psychological confusion to the other party, so that the other party was already worried about gains and losses.

"There are always villains who want to harm me, right?"

"I've already explained that I have no interest in having a say in the company, I'm only interested in making money, but you refused to listen and now you're even giving me a cold shoulder. Do you really want me to remove you from the position of general manager?"

"Or... Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, are you being so confident?"

There are five shareholders in total on the company's board of directors. Three of them don't understand technology, one is on the other side of the ocean and out of reach, and one now controls all the say in the company.

Leave Jiang Wanli.

The company can be declared bankrupt.

At least for now, before VCD players are launched on the market and the products have matured.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "So he really is fearless. Brother Mou, you can't say that. This guy is capable. These technicians are all honest and straightforward. What they have is written on their faces. We don't need to bother with him."

Mou Qizhong's expression eased a little, but still looked a little gloomy.

He nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll give Mr. Lu a favor and let this matter go today."

Lu Yang also nodded at him.

I thought: Give me a favor, do I need you to give me a favor? Obviously, you, Mou Zi, know better than me that this company cannot do without Jiang Wanli, but you come here to pretend. You don't have to do anything, just move your lips, and you can earn a favor from me, Lu, for free, right? They are technical people, they just talk badly, but their hearts are not dirty. It's us who are engaged in investment, our hearts are more dirty than each other, you, Mou Qizhong, are no exception, and neither am I!
Xiao Jun interrupted from the side, smiling jokingly, "This guy's mouth is as foul as if he had just eaten an onion. I would say we shouldn't spoil him too much. He has some skills, but he dares to give us three brothers a cold shoulder. Do we still want to save our face? If we really want to deal with him, we can wait until he has emptied his stomach and the company no longer needs him. Then we can have a good time with him and see how he can still give us a cold shoulder. Hehe, if you want to get rid of others, as long as you have this idea, President Lu, you can join forces with President Mou, isn't it just a matter of a word?"

Things that should and shouldn't be said, this guy blurted out everything like pouring beans.

Lu Yang and Mou Qizhong looked at each other, and both looked at him at the same time: "Atui, why are you so dirty?"

Xiao Jun was dumbfounded as his face was covered with foam.

That’s not right!

Isn’t that what these two bastards think?
If it were him, after being humiliated today, he would definitely do the same thing next time, knowing that the two sides are incompatible.

Lu Yang shook his head and walked towards the door of the meeting room. "Let's go. This is their territory. Let's not cause trouble here. We don't have to sign the equity transfer agreement here. As long as we get the board of directors' consent, we can sign it anywhere else. Let's not leave it as an eyesore. Let's find a place to eat first."

That's a good idea.

Xiao Jun and Mou Qizhong didn't want to stay here anymore, so they stood up at the same time as Lu Yang.

They had a tacit understanding and knew that after this incident, Jiang Wanli would no longer seek the opinions of shareholders on the appearance of the product. As the chairman of the board of directors and general manager of the product development department, he had every right to make the decision on such a small matter.

This is a moment.

Walking out of the company building, Lu Yang looked at the room upstairs where he had slept last night. Unfortunately, the curtains were drawn. He didn't know if Brother Jiang Wanli was also looking down at them from upstairs at this moment.

"sorry!"

"I don't want to do that either, but you're too stubborn. If the company follows the path you designed, it will go bankrupt sooner or later. I've tried my best to save it, but brother... you always think I have bad intentions. What can I do to gain your trust completely?"

Lu Yang is not good at technology, and Jiang Wanli is not good at leading a company.

This person can mess up a good hand of cards.

In Lu Yang's memory before his rebirth, the Wanyan Company was almost the same as it is now, except for the addition of three shareholders: him, Mou Qizhong, and Xiao Jun. Although Sun Yansheng was a shareholder, he was not in the country and had his own company to manage in North America. He could only entrust his voting rights in Wanyan Company to Jiang Wanli, who they regarded as a close friend. Jiang Wanli did not disappoint him, focusing on technology on one hand and management on the other. At the beginning, he did a very good job.

He created the epoch-making invention of VCD from scratch.

And it took just less than a year.

Although it costs money, it also gives shareholders hope of dominating the domestic player market in the future.

and then?
Getting up early and arriving late, there is nothing wrong with using this sentence to describe Wanyan Company led by Jiang Wanli at that time.

He only had the title of "Father of VCD" but he had no idea how to make use of it. It would have been fine if he had missed the opportunity to apply for domestic and foreign patents, but when faced with the emergence of copycat manufacturers, he, as a source manufacturer, could not defeat them. It would have been fine if he had not been able to defeat them, but in the end he was squeezed out by the copycat manufacturers who ganged up on him.

In just two years, from the most glorious period to the lowest point, until the company was sold, Jiang Wanli could not even think of any countermeasures.

Lu Yang felt that even though he already had the patent, under the domestic environment, having a patent was the same as having no patent. If he could not survive the initial siege by the wolf pack and wait for the day when VCD became a real global pandemic and sucked blood from the whole world for patent fees, under the leadership of Jiang Wanli, a stubborn man who refused to listen to advice, the company would probably have to go back to its old ways.

In the window on the third floor, Jiang Wanli lifted a corner of the curtain with two fingers and stared at Lu Yang who was looking up from downstairs.

His face was gloomy.

Until Lu Yang no longer raised his head, turned around to talk to Xiao Jun and Mou Qizhong, and the three of them were walking away.

He murmured to himself, "I'm sorry, I have no choice. I will definitely repay you for the favor you owe me in the future."

Lu Yang helped him.

And more than once or twice, he felt grateful.

But this is not a reason for him to back down. He established the Wanyan Company with his own hands and poured too much of his effort into it. He is reluctant and unwilling to let it go. He firmly believes that the VCD technology will change the times and make the times remember him, Jiang Wanli, as the inventor of this technology. In order to realize this dream as soon as possible, he must firmly grasp the company's voice in his own hands and draw up this blueprint step by step according to his own ideas. No one can replace him.

Leave Wanyan Company.

Lu Yang invited Mou Qizhong and Xiao Jun to the villa he had previously purchased in Xingcheng.

After the family moved out, the villa has been taken care of, so it has not been abandoned.

"You guys should stay here tonight. It's boring to stay in a hotel all the time. I'll have someone draft out a contract later. If you don't mind, Xiao, just sign it quickly, take the money and go back to your Hailan to clean up your mess."

Knowing that these two guys couldn't stay in Xingcheng for even a day, Lu Yang brought them back to his villa.

Sign the contract.

I had a meal and some drinks with these two guys.

Lu Yang told them to stay wherever they wanted and just give the key to his secretary when they left.

Naturally, he had reasons to keep Xu Siqi, the young secretary.

Before Lu Yang left, he said to Xu Siqi who was following him, "Your mother's villa is right next to mine, right?"

"what!?"

Xu Siqi's two small hands were tightly entangled on her belly: "Boss, do you know?"

"Guess what?"

Lu Yang glared at her and said, "I'm not staying here today. You should go back to your mother's house to sleep at night. You don't need to worry about these two animals. Tell them to call you when they leave tomorrow. Then you just need to come and take the keys to the villa. Don't be silly. These two animals are not good people. Do you understand?"

Xu Siqi's face turned pale. She secretly glanced at the gate of the villa behind her. Mou Qizhong and Xiao Jun were still drinking inside. When they saw them looking at her, they both raised their glasses at the same time.

"Go ahead and don't worry about us."

"Yes, your villa has everything, so much good wine, enough for the two of us to drink, as long as you don't feel bad, come on, Brother Mou, let's go one more."

Lu Yang has something to do and will not sleep here tonight, and they are glad for it. Anyway, they will not be polite to Lu Yang. There are a lot of good wines stored in the cellar of this villa. They have discovered it and can still run away. Lu Yang is not here, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar. They must drink enough tonight, so as to piss off Lu Yang and make this kid feel sorry for him.

Xu Siqi thought to herself, "These two are quite polite. Do they know that the boss is slandering them like this?"

What she thought in her heart was one thing, but she took Lu Yang's words as an imperial decree: "Well, I will listen to you. After you leave, I will go home immediately."

He said this with a shy look on his face.

She was so happy that her boss cared about her so much. Unfortunately, if she knew what her boss was thinking at the moment, she would not be so happy.

Lu Yang was annoyed by her slow and pretentious speech, and could not wait to walk out the door, "You don't have to follow me, go back and have a rest early. Remember, if I don't show up tomorrow, you are not allowed to call me."

Don’t ask why. If you ask, I have no answer. . . . .
