He didn't know what Wei Laisong's job was, but his demeanor was very intimidating.
“I’ve also heard some rumors lately that you’re going to integrate rice and establish a super-large conglomerate,” Wei Laisong asked.
"I want to develop each of our subsidiaries into a super-large group, including the rice factory, rice technology, rice appliances, as well as Haina and Huahong. Take the wafer fab in Shanghai, for example; it's now a large-scale operation."
Wei Laisong nodded and pointed to Lei Jun, saying, "He controls that part."
"I plan to give him the car factory, Dami Technology, and Huahong."
"Such a strong start."
"So be nice to him, he'll be in charge of your funds in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Laisong smiled and reached out to Lei Jun, saying, "President Lei, please take care of me in the future! We're all family here."
The match ended in a 1-1 tie.
Seeing that many opportunities on the court had been missed, Xing Baohua asked, "Are you manipulating the game?"
Wei Laisong nodded and said, "Someone told me before that I shouldn't surpass the second-ranked national team, as it wouldn't do me any good. Don't think you can sweep everything just because you have a few foreign players. If you stand out, you'll get shot, and then you won't have any foreign players left."
Xing Baohua understood the implication: the person speaking to Wei Laisong must be from the Sports Bureau. They needed to protect the reputation of the second-level national team, as it was a matter of face for their superiors.
If the defending champions get thoroughly beaten by a local team, it's like a slap in the face.
"The purpose of forming the Rice Team is to win first place. Forget about saving face and those people. Let them play freely. Also, we must win all the championships this year. I spent so much money to buy these foreign players, they can't be without energy. I'm going to win the second half."
Wei Laisong smiled helplessly, then stood up and walked out of the locker room to tell the head coach.
Lei Jun asked from the side, "Who is he?"
Although I knew that Wei Laisong was the manager of the rice team, he was different from the factory managers of other factories, and there seemed to be another layer of relationship between them.
“He used to be the city’s Party Secretary, but he stepped down for some reason. I invited him to come and be a junior manager. He has a lot of influence. If you encounter any political issues in the future, you can go to him.”
Lei Jun understood what Xing Baohua meant. He seemed like a junior manager, but he was actually like a powerful elder.
He keeps his abilities hidden.
In the second half, the American team launched a fierce counterattack. The national second-string team, which had been playing a coordinated game in the first half, was caught off guard by the sudden attack and made numerous mistakes. They were scored on by the American team twice in a row.
Xing Baohua smiled slightly at this moment. There were only two matches against Guo Er throughout the year. After this year, Guo Er will withdraw from the A-League.
The reason why the national second-level teams can participate in the competition is twofold: firstly, there are few teams, and secondly, the competition provides an opportunity to train these rising stars.
They consistently ranked first, suppressing local teams, which led to some dissent, and they withdrew from the Jia-A League.
After that, only the Bayi team remained, a team with official status.
The fans were overjoyed and cheered. But Wei Laisong was in a difficult position to explain himself.
They've gone back on their promise, so they'll just have to ask Xing Baohua to show up after the competition, and then they'll pin the blame on Xing Baohua.
For this purpose, the club even used a reserve fund to distribute small bonuses.
To create a reason, Xing Baohua watched the game and announced that a bonus would be awarded for winning. This led to the team's victory.
First, distance yourself from the situation.
After watching the game, Xing Baohua returned to his office, while Lei Jun went to attend to his own business. Then the phone rang. Xing Baohua answered and, upon hearing it was Director Li, said he was in his office.
Factory Director Li usually doesn't come to Xing Baohua on his own initiative, but he specifically called to say that he was coming and asked Xing Baohua to wait for him.
Old Li from the factory arrived in ten minutes. Xing Baohua greeted him and invited him to sit on the sofa.
"I'm here mainly to ask about your future career path. There's some unrest in the factory, which is causing a lot of anxiety. The workers are fine, but it's mainly the management who are affected."
That means many people are considering taking sides.
If this matter is not handled properly, it could leave behind significant hidden dangers.
Xing Baohua thought for a moment and said, "I know about the rumors, but I'll ignore them for now. I just want to slack off."
"This kind of thinking is bad. It can easily cause comrades to have wrong ideas and go astray in a moment of thought."
Xing Baohua waved his hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I went to the Manchurian Hammer Factory and almost died there."
"?"
Due to confidentiality issues, people back home didn't know about Xing Baohua's situation. Now that he's mentioned it, Director Li probably understands something.
“There are high-level spies in the factory that can’t be found out in a short time. This is also an opportunity. Only if the rice is a little messy will we have a chance to see them clearly.”
"I understand what you mean, you're using that little Lei as bait?"
"No, I really want him to help me with the work. I'll slowly hide in the background. Uncle Li, only the two of us will know what we're talking about today. If they kill me, then Da Mi will be gone too. If I'm still alive, I can continue to develop technology and surpass them in every way."
"Okay, I understand. You go ahead with your work, I won't bother you any longer. I'll try to quell the rumors in the factory for now. I can't help with the other factories either. If you need anything from your uncle, just let me know."
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Li."
Lei Jun went to the factory workshop alone to look at a design program problem, and happened to run into Liu Quan, who very warmly invited him to sit in the office.
At first, he politely declined, saying that he had his own work to do. Liu Quan was unhappy and said that if he came here and didn't come to sit in the office, he wouldn't give him, the factory director, any face.
