"The initial draft has been completed, and the relevant clauses need to be revised. We'll have to see how the negotiations go. We've booked tickets for tomorrow," Zhu Lidong said.
"Where to go first?"
"Shanxi! Huai'ren County!"
.................
Zhu Lidong held a meeting that evening, handing over some tasks to his deputy general manager, but did not disclose what the matter was.
However, everyone knows that there will be significant changes to Wepuda recently, and the current secrecy suggests that things are probably pretty much finalized.
That evening, the middle manager at Wepda had a few drinks and felt that he and the other man were about the same age, so how come he was only a middle manager while the other man was a vice president?
Sitting at home, I felt increasingly inferior as I thought about it. Suddenly, I remembered that I had said that I didn't understand the decision-making process, and the person opposite me laughed. Now, thinking back on it, I feel like he was mocking me.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Today, when he was talking to the marketing director about Zhu's recent movements, they said with certainty that he had a direction, and that Lu would also be going on a business trip tomorrow with a large group of people, so there must be something big going on.
"Hey! Fellow villager, are you asleep?" He finally made the call.
"Not yet, just got off work. What's up? Are you off tomorrow? How about we meet up in Guangzhou for a drink?" the person on the other end of the phone invited.
"I just got off work too. I was busy in a meeting, you know, Mr. Lu... ugh, I've been annoyed by him for more than a day or two. He just keeps nagging in meetings, it never ends." On the other end of the phone, Lu Feng was full of disdain. He smacked his lips and said, "We had another meeting today, talking about this Weipuda thing. He insisted that I give my opinion, it's infuriating."
The person on the other end of the phone almost burst out laughing, saying, "Aren't you a middle manager? Why are you so strict with your middle managers?"
"I'm only one level below Lu Feng. I'm the deputy head of the department. Let me tell you, most deputy heads are no match for me. Lu Feng treats me with great respect." He boasted on the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone couldn't help but chuckle. The department vice president was only one level below Lu Feng? If that got out, people would laugh themselves to death. But he didn't say anything. He just praised the other person a few times on the phone and told him to keep in touch when he had time. Even if he left Jiafeng Electronics one day, going to TCL was another option. Having more options would make things easier.
"You're right. Let me tell you, I'm the same person as you. I went to TCL, and someone tried to poach me, but the salary wasn't high. Everything you can do there, I can do too. Really, believe me? I'm telling you, Wepuda's latest marketing plan is already out." He said with a hint of pride.
The person on the other end of the phone was startled; this was a big deal. Composing themselves, they asked, "Mr. Lu's marketing plans are absolutely groundbreaking. I wonder which aspect this time?"
"It's not convenient for me to talk about that!"
"Do you know or you don't know?"
"Of course I know. Do you really think I'm a middle manager? It's just that I'm not allowed to say it. Our positions are sensitive, you know?" He was already showing a hint of smugness.
"President Xiao, I know you're capable, but you need to prove it first, otherwise how will I know you're capable? Here's what I'll say first: I had a meeting with Chairman Li Dongsheng today, and we decided to invest in the research and development of LCD screens. Let me tell you, this is a big deal."
"I know, we started research and development last year. It's not that I can't tell you anything, making it seem like I know nothing. Let me put it this way, tomorrow Mr. Lu will be leading his team to Huairen, Shanxi."
"Wow, that's impressive! I didn't expect you to be doing so well. Let me tell you, if you switched jobs from there, becoming a vice president wouldn't be a problem at all." After boasting for a while, the person on the other end of the phone said they had something urgent to attend to and hung up.
At midnight, all the CEOs in the industry received a message: the next day, Lu Feng and Zhu Lidong would lead their teams to a small county called Huai Ren in Shanxi.
Huang Hongsheng called Li Dongsheng and asked, "The news should be true, but I don't know what trick Lu Feng will use this time. Have you been busy lately?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's such a small place, do you want to go and have a look?"
“I’m busy, I don’t have time, but I know Huai Ren, the ancient battlefield of Jinshatan, where the Yang family generals were.” Li Dongsheng recalled.
"It has some historical significance, but I don't have time for that. Let's leave it at that and go to sleep."
After the two hung up the phone, Li Dongsheng immediately called the head of the marketing department and ordered tickets overnight. He had to go and see what tricks Lu Feng could pull.
