The next day, Chang Dongming held a business card and wandered repeatedly at the door of the president's office.
When an assistant passed by him, he asked in a low voice, "Why, don't you dare to go in?"
"How is President Xuan feeling?" Chang Dongming immediately inquired about the situation.
"The R&D department has left another group of people. The company's stock price fell by the limit today. Do you think President Xuan is in a good mood? The government will attract investment next month, and our company is afraid that it will hang. If you don't have a particularly important matter, don't go in. "
"Then I'll wait." Chang Dongming was timid, but at this moment he received a text message from Zhuang Li, with only two short words - [Go in!]
Chang Dongming's heart trembled, and he pushed open the door subconsciously and walked into the president's office.
The assistant looked at his back and shook his head and sighed, "A warrior!"
Xuan Ming is sorting out a pile of resignation letters, all of which were submitted collectively by the backbone of the R&D department today. In order to cultivate these people, he invested more than 500 million in them, and never put forward exact job requirements for them.
What research they wanted to do, Xuan Ming just gave money, didn't ask for details, didn't ask for anything in return, but what he didn't expect was just a betrayal.
Dr. Zhao took away several of the most critical patented technologies, but these patents did not belong to him at all, but the work results of the entire R&D team, and he was not qualified to do that.
However, he used some contacts in the United States to register a private patent ahead of the company, but the patent registered by the company was rejected by the International Patent Organization.
Now the problem is coming. With the loss of key technologies, Haiming has fallen from the first echelon in the communication field to the second echelon. This time the government attracts investment, Haiming will most likely lose. Once the market share is occupied, Haiming will gradually retreat.
Is there any way to break through? Xuan Ming thought hard, but he couldn't do anything.
In addition to temporarily stabilizing the stock price, there is no way to solve the fundamental problem by increasing capital investment.
For a high-tech company, technology is the vitality. The Haiming Group, which has been poached for most of its R&D backbone, is like a building that has lost its cornerstone. The bigger the superstructure, the faster it will collapse.
If a scientific research team more powerful than Dr. Zhao cannot be found in the shortest possible time to fill the fatal technical vacancy, the Haiming Group will inevitably decline.
But all over the world, good scientific research teams are basically captured by major communication companies. Where does Haiming go to poach people
Thinking of this, Xuan Ming's face became even more gloomy, he pushed the resignation letter aside, took out his mobile phone and called the headhunting company.
He repeatedly said sorry, and repeatedly explained to him how difficult the business was.
"I'll pay you more money, you can negotiate any conditions." Xuan Ming took out a cigar and put it between his fingertips, his voice was filled with anger.
Chang Dongming hurriedly stepped forward with a lighter, his heart thumping wildly. If he had known that the boss was in such a daze, he would not have come in. For that cheap brother, he really sacrificed too much.
Or forget it, I'll leave after lighting the cigarette, so as not to be scolded. Chang Dongming pondered in fear.
Hanging up the phone of the headhunting company, Xuan Ming squinted his eyes as sharp as a falcon, and slowly smoked a cigar with a bean jumping flame, and then slowly exhaled a strong puff of smoke, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you okay? "
Chang Dongming shook his head subconsciously. Thinking of the precognition dream, he suddenly gathered up his courage and said quickly, "Mr. Xuan, my brother has a business deal that I would like to discuss with you. I will invite you to LEMO restaurant for dinner at 8 o'clock tonight."
LEMO restaurant has delicious dishes and a romantic atmosphere. It also invites a well-known performer to perform live performances every day. It is a famous dating place for couples in City B.
Xuan Ming is a workaholic. He started his own business as soon as he graduated. He has never been in love, and he has never been attracted to anyone. Naturally, he does not know where it is.
He asked impatiently, "Who is your brother?"
"My brother is Zhuang Li." Chang Dongming carefully looked at the boss's expression.
Xuan Ming frowned, as if recalling, but after a while he shook his head: "The name sounds familiar, what does he do?"
"Uh, he, he..." Chang Dongming didn't know what to say. He actually didn't know why Zhuang Li insisted on seeing President Xuan. Could it be that after meeting, President Xuan was willing to lend him money? Or does he have any chips that can definitely convince the opponent
Seeing that his subordinates hesitated and hesitated for a long time, Xuan Ming waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, I don't see anyone who is inexplicable."
He is so busy now that he doesn't have the mind to take care of people who don't matter.
He had probably guessed that Zhuang Li should be a still young dreamer, trying to meet him and get an investment. People like this, he has seen a lot over the years, and the projects they bring are usually castles in the air, with almost no possibility of making a profit.
"Don't go out yet?" Seeing Chang Dongming standing still, Xuan Ming gave an order with a solemn expression.
Chang Dongming shivered and went out immediately, never daring to hand over that funny business card. When he was about to get off work, he took out his business card from his pocket, crumpled it into a small ball, and was about to throw it into the trash, but at this moment he received a call from Zhuang Li.
"Has Xuan Ming agreed to meet?" The tone on the other end was rather casual.
"No, Mr. Xuan is very busy these days and has no time to meet strangers." Chang Dongming stretched his hand holding the business card over the trash can.
"Did you give him my business card?"
Chang Dongming said yes, but his fingertips loosened slightly, ready to throw away the garbage.
Zhuang Li: "You are lying to me, if you give me a business card, he will not refuse to meet me. Do you still want your one million? One million becomes ten million in a year, do you like it? "
Chang Dongming's breathing gradually became heavier, and his fingertips when he squeezed the business card immediately tightened.
One million becomes ten million, who doesn't like it? Thinking of the "President Zhuang" whom everyone feared in his dream, and thinking of Zhuang Li, whose aura changed greatly after he came back yesterday, his heart warmed.
"I'll go to President Xuan right away." He said hurriedly.
"Just put the business card in his hand. Tell him, I'll be waiting for him at the LEMO restaurant at eight o'clock tonight." Zhuang Li hung up the phone, never thinking that he would be rejected.
Chang Dongming hurriedly unfolded the crumpled business card, flattened it with his hands, and then forcibly endured the shame in his heart and ran towards the elevator for the president.
With a crisp clanging sound, the elevator door opened, and Xuan Ming walked in surrounded by several shareholders.
Chang Dongming called President Xuan several times in a row, but the other party did not respond, but concentrated on talking with several shareholders.
Chang Dongming couldn't, so he hurried over, blocked the elevator door with one arm, shoved the business card into Xuan Ming's hand, and said sullenly, "Mr. Xuan, my brother will be waiting for you at LEMO restaurant at 8 o'clock tonight." Cover your face and run, like a thief.
Several shareholders pointed to his fleeing back and asked, "Who is his brother?"
"I don't know." Xuan Ming said indifferently, "Just a young man who wants to take shortcuts, don't pay attention."
"Ask you to meet at LEMO restaurant? I really want to take a shortcut." One shareholder thought about it, and couldn't help but smiled ambiguously, and several other shareholders also understood.
"What happened to the LEMO restaurant?" Xuan Ming casually lowered his eyes as he asked, looking at the crumpled business card lying in the palm of his hand.
"Mr. Xuan, you really are a workaholic, you don't even know about the LEMO restaurant, it's a dating place. We, Mr. Liu, like to take our beautiful sister to LEMO, to sit and listen to music in such a good atmosphere, drink a few glasses of red wine, and talk about it. A few sweet words, send a few precious gifts, and you can have a big meal later."
These people laughed meaningfully as they spoke.
But Xuan Ming's brain lost the ability to think at this moment. He was holding this crumpled children's card that looked like a kindergarten teacher casually made with P-picture software, and his heart was beating rapidly.
He looked at the little curly-haired fox on the card, and a fervent affection flooded his heart uncontrollably.
Zhuang Li-curly-little fox, these three mutually exclusive terms finally established a vivid connection at this moment.
He suddenly eagerly wanted to know how similar the curly fox on the business card was to Zhuang Li in reality, what kind of person was he, and why did he want to see him
As soon as he regained his senses, Xuan Ming heard the comments of several shareholders about the LEMO restaurant. His face was still as cold and solemn, but his ears were quietly dyed red. He seemed to inadvertently put the business card in his trouser pocket, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the LEMO restaurant for?"
"It's a restaurant for lovers, a place for dating."
"Speaking of which, President Xuan has already invited us to dinner tonight. This young man really doesn't know how to pick a time."
"I don't know how to pick people. Xuan is always a well-known workaholic in the industry, and he doesn't get involved in these things."
"Chang Dongming's younger brother, isn't that a man? Today's young people are really getting bolder."
"Not really, it's mainly because our President Xuan is too charming."
Several shareholders joked about you one sentence at a time.
Xuan Ming had indeed made an appointment with several shareholders for dinner, and he couldn't make time for it at eight o'clock. Moreover, he is extremely disgusted with this kind of young people who do not seek improvement and are willing to degenerate.
As usual, he would have thrown away the business card, and then called Chang Dongming back and reprimanded him. If you are in a bad mood, it is possible to fire someone.
But now, he hid his hands in his trouser pockets, and quietly rubbed the little fox on the business card, his head was full of the cute look of it smiling and squinting its little pink tongue.
His hard heart seemed to be gently scratched by a pair of fox claws, kept scratching, itching uncomfortably, and then cracked.
Several shareholders are still laughing at this pink affair, and they are sure that President Xuan, an emotionless work machine, will never go to such an unintentional date, and they highly praise President Xuan's cleanliness.
Behind the scenes, Xuan Ming took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to the special assistant: [Call me immediately and say that President Li has an appointment with me at 8 o'clock this evening.]
So as soon as everyone got out of the elevator, Xuan Ming's cell phone rang.
He pressed the speakerphone button with a cold face, and the voice of the special assistant immediately came: "Mr. Xuan, President Li invited you to dinner at Shenglongxuan at 8 o'clock tonight, do you have time?"
"President Li of the Development Bank? Is there something wrong with our loan?" Xuan Ming's tone was extremely serious.
"Probably. Are you free? I'll reply to him right away." The special assistant dutifully performed.
"I'm free, I'll go right now." Xuan Ming quickly hung up the phone and said apologetically to several shareholders, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll be sorry tonight."
"The loan is a big deal, Mr. Xuan, go ahead and make an appointment." Several shareholders immediately expressed their understanding.
Xuan Ming nodded slightly and strode away. His back looked extremely hasty. He adjusted his tie and cufflinks while walking, and stared at his watch all the way.
Several shareholders watched him go away and said worriedly: "Isn't there a big problem? Look at how hurried Mr. Xuan is, he has always been calm, and he is not afraid of the sky falling. Unlike today, he has to run. already."
