Chapter 30 Chapter 30 I have a plan
In conference room 1001.
Fu Zhiyao frowned and sat in the chair expressionlessly. There were still ten minutes before the meeting started, but Yu Wan still hadn't shown up.
Although everything in the conference room has been prepared and there is nothing for him to worry about, arriving early and arriving on time have completely different meanings. Could it be that Yu Wan thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has been promoted to a full-time employee?
Fu Zhiyao became even more irritated, as evidenced by his increasingly deep frown, which made the Finance Director Nian Peisen and Qian Xicheng from the Acquisition Department across from him feel uneasy.
Although both of them are department heads, facing the cold-faced devil Fu Zhiyao, even the most dead heart would panic.
Wei Xian from the Planning Department came alone today. She specifically asked her boss to observe the acquisition so that she could gain a deeper understanding of how the work would be carried out after the acquisition.
After searching the conference room but not seeing Yu Wan, he raised his eyebrows and sent a message to Yu Wan. Unfortunately, Yu Wan didn't reply.
Soon, Wang Buren and his secretary Qu Yingkun walked into the conference room under the guidance of Sun Ning at the front desk.
Wei Xian threw his phone into his pocket and stood up with the others.
Fu Zhiyao shook hands with Wang Buren and said, "Mr. Wang, thank you for taking this trip. Please take a seat."
"Mr. Fu, you're welcome. Please."
The door of the conference room closed and both parties took their seats in turn. Mr. Wang smiled and exchanged a few words with Qian Xicheng from the Acquisition Department.
The electronic clock on the wall showed that the meeting had been going on for five minutes, but Yu Wan still hadn't arrived.
Fu Zhiyao indifferently withdrew his gaze and said, "Boss Wang, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Mr. Wang's expression turned serious. "Okay, business is more important."
One wanted to acquire, the other was eager to be acquired. Both sides didn't talk about repetitive topics and went straight to the point.
The Internet industry has developed rapidly and with great momentum in recent years. It is a piece of fat meat that many giant companies are eyeing. Wang Buren poured all his efforts and expectations into the founding process of Tingcai Video. From the initial recruitment to the expansion of scale, subdivision of departments, and promotion of talents, he did not miss a step.
It can be said that Tingcai is the child he raised.
But now, the short video companies ranked first and second in the industry are competing fiercely with each other. Wang Buren originally thought that Tingcai could reap the benefits, but he did not expect that its market would be squeezed increasingly narrower, and its development gradually stagnated. The figures in the financial report were extremely ugly. Several attempts to introduce investment were of no avail. Last year, the company lost nearly 3.8 billion yuan, which was a huge blow to everyone in the company.
Now that it has come to the point of selling the child, Wang Buren, the old father, naturally can't bear to do it.
No matter how reluctant he was, if he continued to drag it out, without any capital injection, Bu Kesiyi would go bankrupt within two years, and Tingcai would also decline, which was something Wang Buren did not want to see.
Before the Fu family proposed the acquisition, Wang Buren actually received the acquisition signal from Yufeng Group. Logically, he should not have met with Fu Zhiyao.
However, although Wang Buren trusted Lu Juefeng as the vice president, he did not trust Lu Yusen as the president. After much thought, he decided to be a bad guy.
Choose whoever offers the best solution and can better stimulate incredible development.
After listening to the acquisition plan given by Director Qian Xicheng of the Acquisition Department, Wang Buren pondered for two seconds and nodded.
"Director Qian, I have no objection to the acquisition price. After all, it will take more than just this little bit of money to revitalize Tingcai. I just want to know how the Fu family will revitalize Tingcai in the future. After all, Tingcai's two competitors, Hi-See and Yi Teng, are backed by large corporations, and I'm really worried."
Director Qian acted confident of victory. "This is also our advantage at Fu's. After taking over Tingcai, we will attract users through methods such as collecting illustrations for prize draws or giving away bonuses to new users when they register. As long as we have enough users, we can confidently build an online shopping platform and integrate shopping resources. We can then rely on bloggers and influencers with large fan bases to promote our products. Whether it's live streaming, e-commerce, or advertising, they are all our sources of income. All we have to do is improve our algorithm recommendation technology to deliver more accurate video content that better suits users' interests and preferences. Then, we will promote the software's global layout and lead Tingcai to the world. As for Hi-Vision and Yiteng, which you mentioned, Mr. Wang, they are all competitors. Their core goal is to seize the user market. Naturally, whoever has the most active users will develop better. Relying on coupons and bonuses to stabilize user base and optimize user experience, are you afraid that you can't compete with the other two companies?"
Unexpectedly, when Wang Buren heard this, he shook his head.
"Director Qian, you still don't understand what I'm saying. Tingcai did exactly that last year, and you saw the results: a loss of 3.8 billion."
More than an hour had passed since the negotiations began. When Wang Buren said this, everyone present could hear that he was politely refusing to cooperate.
Qian Xicheng was stunned and continued to defend himself: "Boss Wang, you know that our Fu Group has strong financial resources, not inferior to Yufeng, so we can..."
Wang Buren raised his hand to interrupt him and looked directly at Fu Zhiyao.
"Mr. Fu, the acquisition price is not the most important thing to me. I want a more practical plan that can give Tingcai a new lease of life. If Mr. Fu can't do that, I can only leave Fu's with regret."
Before Fu Zhiyao could speak, a trembling and soft female voice suddenly rang out.
Zhao Yushu stood up with the plan in hand. "Mr. Wang, please give me five minutes. I have a plan for cultivating the core competitiveness of Tingcai Short Video. I wonder if it can meet your expectations."
Fu Zhiyao frowned and looked away.
The person who stood up was a female employee from the Finance Department. She looked somewhat familiar. In response to her sudden words, Fu Zhiyao remained silent.
Wang Buren's eyes lit up when he saw the document in Zhao Yushu's hand. He smiled and said, "It seems that there are many talented people in Mr. Fu's company. No problem. I'll give you some time. If you have anything to say, just say it boldly."
"Let me out!"
Yu Wan raised his arm and pounded on the door with his fist, then tried to turn the key again, but the heavy door remained motionless.
It has been almost an hour since she was locked up in the archives room. From her initial confusion and anger to her current sadness and powerlessness, Yu Wan shouted until her voice was hoarse but still no one heard her.
The archives room was some distance away from the administration department, and with the soundproof wall, Yu Wan understood that since she didn't have her cell phone with her, she could only wait.
She just didn't understand. She had deliberately put the plan on the table, but Zhao Yushu still took it away. Why did Zhao Yushu still lock her in the archives room? Would she gain anything by preventing her from attending the acquisition meeting?
Yu Wan's original plan was to give the fake plan to Zhao Yushu. When Zhao Yushu handed the plan to the boss, he would find that the real plan had been submitted by her. Comparing the timeline, the fact that Zhao Yushu stole her plan would be confirmed, and then the only thing waiting for Zhao Yushu would be dismissal.
There is a prerequisite here, that is, Zhao Yushu will steal her plan.
If Zhao Yushu behaves well and doesn't set his sights on her plan, Yu Wan can treat her as an ordinary colleague with some minor conflicts. If Zhao Yushu steals her plan, she will use the surveillance footage and email testimony to make Zhao Yushu leave the company in disgrace.
But she never expected that Zhao Yushu would deliberately lock her in the archives room before the meeting started.
Yu Wan kept wondering why.
Was her plan so perfect, so perfect that Zhao Yushu had to lock her in the conference room? She hadn't even had time to review her plan with her boss. What if there were mistakes? What if it didn't meet development needs?
What's more, the plan that Zhao Yushu took away had her name, Yu Wan, hidden in it, and she had deleted an important piece of information. Even if the other party took the opportunity when she was imprisoned to take the credit to the boss, the integrity of the plan would be questioned, and he would not end up well.
What's the point of Zhao Yushu?
But now is not the time to think about this. Yu Wan wants to go out. She knocks on the door of the archive room in vain, hoping that someone can hear the sound and rescue her who is trapped.
The longer she was locked up, the more unbearable Yu Wan felt. What would her boss think of her if she was late for such an important meeting about acquiring Tingcai? She had just been made a regular employee the day before yesterday, and she was absent from the meeting today. Her boss had just expressed his trust in her yesterday, and today she was locked in the archives room because of her carelessness.
Yu Wan's eyes were red. She gritted her teeth and continued to knock on the door. "Is anyone here? I'm locked in the archives room!"
Perhaps God sensed her cry for help, but Yu Wan heard a sound coming from the door, and the next second, the door was opened with a click.
Yu Wan saw clearly that the person standing outside the door was Director Guan.
Yu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pulled herself together, her lips trembling several times before she finally managed to explain, "Director Guan... Director Guan, I've been locked in the archives. Is the negotiation meeting over? Can I still make it in time if I go now? I didn't mean to be absent."
Guan Yanxuan looked at Yu Wan's slightly red eyelids and thought of the message he received on his phone from Wei Xian who was sitting in the conference room.
Yu Wan was absent from this meeting. Why didn't she come? She didn't even reply to my messages.
[Help! President Wang is asking us how to develop our core competitiveness, and we're completely clueless. The meeting is deadlocked. I can already sense what President Fu is about to say.]
[OK, no need to worry. Someone has stepped forward. It seems to be an intern who transferred from the Administration Department to the Finance Department. His name is... Zhao Yushu.]
Guan Yanxuan didn't say much. He locked the door of the archive room again, grabbed Yu Wan's wrist, and led her out of the archive room. He asked her in a strong tone: "Yu Wan, have you written the plan for Tingcai's short video? Answer me!"
Yu Wan was pulled by Guan Yanxuan, her steps were a little staggering, and it took her a long time to catch up with him.
"...I wrote it. I wrote two copies. One was from a copy I deleted some content from and deliberately let Zhao Yushu take. The other was the original copy, which is stored in my computer. I haven't had time to show it to my boss yet."
Yu Wan did not hide the fact that although she was not familiar with Guan Yanxuan, judging whether a person was good or bad was not based on whether they were familiar with each other or not.
"Do you remember what you wrote?"
"Remember."
Guan Yanxuan stopped.
The two of them had now reached the corner of conference room 1001 and were only one step away from entering the conference room.
Guan Yanxuan released Yu Wan's hand and looked at her in a serious tone, "Listen carefully, Zhao Yushu has already used your plan to explain, but she doesn't know what you deleted. If you're not stupid, you should have deleted the key points. After she finishes, Mr. Wang, who is listening to the lottery, will ask about this key point. What you need to do is to supplement it."
"…Replenish?"
Yu Wan didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
