The more Wang Xinghe listened, the more he felt like everyone was involved in human trafficking, and each person was even given one.
"All four of you are willing to stay single?"
"Who can say for sure? Things are pretty good now, aren't they? You have four older sisters who love you."
"I see you all dote on Mengmeng, but I've already fallen out of your favor."
"Ta-da!"
"Come in." The knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"President Su, President Wang, the results are in. Everything is qualified and can be officially put into use."
"Congratulations, Chief Engineer Wang."
"Big sister, we succeeded! Three years of hard work have finally paid off."
"How about I give you a gift?"
"Big sister, what gift are you going to give me?"
"Our Su Group will take the lead in organizing a press conference for you. With our guarantee, your XM system will receive more attention."
"That's not a good idea."
"Xinghe, if you keep pretending to be modest, we won't help you anymore. We'll save our energy."
"No, ma'am, you should help us. You know we're a group of researchers, and we're definitely not as good as you at business operations."
"Would you like to hear my opinion?"
"Big sister, you go ahead and tell me."
"First of all, your system should be sold in limited quantities, with only a few companies able to obtain the right to use it each year."
"Wouldn't that be too little?"
"Xinghe, all you need to know is that scarcity increases value. You can use an auction to obtain the right to use it, which will also better protect your system."
"Big sister, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"Then give me a proposal and I'll get the media to create hype for you."
"Okay."
Sure enough, two days later, the Su Group issued a statement announcing that Star Dream Lab, together with the Su Group, would hold a press conference to officially launch the XM system, showcasing their research achievement, the XM system.
This news, orchestrated by the Su Group, instantly ignited the business world in China. Only then did people in the business community realize that the Su Group had already been using the XM system.
Secretary Li: "President Su, it's a call from the president of Shanghai Fengyun Group."
Su Muqing: "Tell me you're in a meeting."
Secretary Dong: "President Su, the president of Southern Fashion Group is calling."
Su Muqing: "I won't answer."
After the announcement was released, the Su Group's phone lines were ringing off the hook, but Su Muqing didn't say a word about the XM system, only saying that she would see him at the press conference.
At this moment, the Liu Group was also holding a high-level meeting, and Liu Qingmeng's expression was not good.
"Mr. Liu, our company's revenue only increased by 10% this quarter. What happened? We need your explanation."
"Shareholders, isn't 10% enough? You need to know that before Mr. Liu took over the company, our Liu Group was experiencing negative growth."
"Hmph! We handed the Liu Group over to General Manager Liu, and if there's no progress, then we might as well find a new general manager."
"You make it sound so easy, why don't you come and take charge?" Secretary Lin muttered to himself.
“Secretary Lin, it seems you have no right to speak here,” another shareholder said.
"Gentlemen, what do you plan to do? Remove me from my position as general manager? Or should I resign voluntarily?"
"Fellow shareholders, in my opinion, our General Manager Lü has worked diligently for the company for so many years and has achieved excellent results. Why don't we let him take on the position of General Manager? I propose that General Manager Lü be appointed as the General Manager of Liu's Group."
Liu Qingmeng sneered inwardly. Finally, the fox's tail was revealed. It turned out that it was President Lü's faction that was causing trouble this time.
"Oh? So, that's what all of you here think."
These people are all seasoned veterans, and they know in their hearts that Liu Qingmeng's current achievements are something that President Lü could not accomplish.
However, what they disapproved of was that Liu Qingmeng's sweeping reforms in the company had almost completely replaced the middle-level leaders, and it would soon be their turn. If they were kicked out of the group, all their years of hard work would be for nothing.
Therefore, many of them are thinking that they would rather the group earn less than have their own interests touched.
Even the shareholders who had always supported Liu Qingmeng began to waver. Although their positions differed from those of President Lü and the others, they could still work together for the sake of their interests.
“President Liu, we all understand you. The company's slower growth this month is due to the large investment in infrastructure construction; the returns will only be seen later,” said one of the shareholders from Liu Qingmeng's faction.
"So, it seems there are some clever people among you. Are you now suggesting I be removed from my position as general manager?"
“No! Mr. Liu, our board of directors has actually made another decision. If you can cooperate with Star Dream Lab and the XM system can be connected to our Liu Group, we will consider giving you another chance,” said one of the shareholders from Mr. Lü’s faction.
“That’s really unfair to our CEO Liu,” Secretary Lin retorted.
"It's unfair, isn't it? Then, Mr. Liu, tell us what we can do to make it fair. For the sake of the former chairman, we'll give you a chance."
"Give me a chance?" Liu Qingmeng tapped her fingers on the table.
“It’s very simple. If I can get the right to use the XM system, you will all sell your shares to me at the stock price of that day, and then you will all leave the Liu Group.”
Upon hearing Liu Qingmeng's words, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly froze.
"Mr. Liu, is this how you behave?"
"That's right! We've grown from small to what we are today with the Liu Group, and you actually want to drive us away!"
"If I cannot do this, I will voluntarily withdraw from the Liu Group and never set foot in the Liu Group again."
The directors, led by General Manager Lü, who had challenged Liu Qingmeng, exchanged glances.
Mr. Lü said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, we accept."
"Alright, let's adjourn the meeting then."
Liu Qingmeng stood up and left the conference room with Secretary Lin.
"Mr. Lü, aren't we being too reckless by doing this?"
"Not at all reckless. Do you know how many spots the XM system has given out?"
"several?"
"They only gave five. Do you think companies all over the world are scrambling to get the right to use the XM system? Do you think this little girl can get it?"
"Haha, in that case, Mr. Lü, your position as general manager is secure!"
"Once I become the general manager, will the Liu Group still belong to the Liu family?"
"Haha, then congratulations on your good news, Ms. Lü! This little girl hasn't experienced the wickedness of the world yet, let her have a taste of it this time!"
Back in the office, Secretary Lin followed me in with a worried expression.
