Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei closely: "Old...boss, what...has something big happened?"
Because of nervousness and uneasiness, Qiao Liang's voice stuttered a bit.
At this time, Qiao Liang didn't know which aspect Li Youwei was referring to when he said something big happened, whether it was within the system or outside the system.
Seeing Qiao Liang like this, Li Youwei exhaled heavily and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and talk."
Qiao Liang sat straight on the sofa next to Li Youwei and continued to stare at Li Youwei closely.
Then Li Youwei told Qiao Liang the whole story...
It turned out that something happened within the Chint Group, and it was indeed a big deal, and it was closely related to Li Youwei and himself.
The thing happened to Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun.
These three people were the key targets of Li Youwei's training when he was the top leader of the newspaper. They and Qiao Liang were both Li Youwei's generals. At that time, Qiao Liang was the director of the newspaper office, Shen Tao was the director of the advertising center, and Niu Zhiqiang was the director of the advertising center. The director of the printing factory, Lin Jianjun, serves as the general manager of the distribution center. These four departments are the most important administrative and operating units of the newspaper. Distribution, advertising and printing are the troika of the newspaper's operation and are the most important pillars of the newspaper's operating income.
Later, after Li Youwei's accident, Qiao Liang was first assigned to the living base by Wenyuan, and later Qiao Liang was transferred to the Propaganda Department by Xu Honggang. Wenyuan made large-scale personnel adjustments within the newspaper, and hired his own people in important departments. Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun were assigned to the living base by Wenyuan because they were unwilling to betray Li Youwei and join Wenyuan.
Seeing Li Youwei's old subordinates being brutally punished by Wen Yuan, Qiao Liang couldn't bear it. He knew that these three people were very capable in business management, and he found out that they wanted to defect to Li Youwei again, so he started to operate. Ichiban, with the consent of Fang Xiaoya and Li Youwei, asked them to resign from the newspaper and join Chint Group as senior executives, responsible for important departments of Chint Group.
After happily arriving at Chint Group, these three people lived up to the high expectations of Li Youwei, Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang. They loyally assisted Li Youwei and did an outstanding job in business management. They became Li Youwei's best friends in Chint Group. His right-hand assistant, Li Youwei, still trusted them as always and often entrusted them with important business tasks.
Naturally, working in a company is different from working in a newspaper, and the three of them also earn a lot of money.
But society is a big dyeing vat, especially the business world, and people's desires are endless, especially in the pursuit of money. With the smooth sailing of the career and the stability of the position in Chint Group, as well as with various businessmen and Being exposed to luxurious occasions, their hearts are also changing unconsciously.
Some time ago, Chint Group was going to negotiate an important cooperation project with a large group in the south. Out of caution, Li Youwei decided to send someone to the other party to conduct an inspection first, because this cooperation project involved Shen Tao and Niu Zhiqiang. , the departments Lin Jianjun was in charge of were all related, so Li Youwei decided to send the three of them to form a joint inspection team and go to the south for inspection.
Before they set off, Li Youwei held a small meeting for them, telling them the purpose, content and other matters of the inspection. At the same time, he also talked about the importance of this cooperation with the other party to Chint Group and the huge benefits it would bring. Benefit.
The three of them are well aware of this cooperation project, because many of the specific matters in the early stage are handled by their departments. Because this cooperation is very important, these matters are still in the early stage of confidentiality and are highly commercial secrets.
They immediately set off for a half-month inspection in the south, and gave a satisfactory report to Li Youwei when they came back.
Subsequently, the chairman of the other group came to Jiangzhou with a team of senior officials to formally negotiate this cooperation project with Chint Group.
The amount of this cooperation project is huge. If it can be completed, it will bring substantial economic benefits to both parties. For Chint Group, it will be a major event in the development history.
Of course, Fang Xiaoya knew about this cooperation project and strongly supported it, and authorized Li Youwei to take full responsibility for the matter.
Of course, in the negotiation of this cooperation project, both parties want to strive for greater benefits for their own groups and seize the greatest initiative.
For this negotiation, Li Youwei strategized and made sufficient preparations in advance, determined to win.
But as soon as the negotiation started, Li Youwei felt that the situation was not quite right. The other party took the initiative immediately. As the negotiation progressed, the other party pressed forward step by step and completely took the initiative, making Li Youwei very passive.
In a state of embarrassment, it can only resist every step of defense.
In order to ensure that Chint Group's interests were not damaged, Li Youwei could only stick to the bottom line, but the other party was aggressive and refused to give in.
After the first round of negotiations ended in an extremely embarrassing manner, Li Youwei felt huge confusion and suspicion, because he clearly realized that the other party seemed to know the inside story of Chint Group, and especially had some high-level commercial secrets and negotiations of Chint Group.
bottom line.
Under such confusion and suspicion, Li Youwei secretly sent an investigation team composed of relevant personnel to investigate the matter. They not only investigated within the group, but also went to the other side of the group in the south to investigate. Of course, going to the south to investigate was necessary.
Using certain methods and means to leverage insiders within the other party's group, although this is not fair and square, is the only way to find out the truth.
After a week of secret investigation, the final results were reported to Li Youwei on the eve of the Spring Festival.
This result made Li Youwei extremely shocked and angry. The problem turned out to be the joint inspection team he sent earlier, that is, his most trusted subordinates Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun. These three guys were inspecting the other group during the inspection.
, fell into the other party's sugar-coated bullets, the other party arranged for them to stay in the most upscale five-star resort in the area, and entertained them with feasts every day. Once, after they were drunk, each of them arranged for two beauties to accompany them into the room...
Although these three people usually don't approach women, at this time, they finally couldn't resist the temptation of beauty. They also felt that this place was far away from Jiangzhou, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. As long as they didn't tell themselves, no one would know.
Once the defense line collapses, they will quickly sink. They are intoxicated with music, singing, dancing, wine and beauties every day, and are extremely free and indulgent.
During this period, the other party specially arranged for them to go to Macao to gamble. As a result, each of them lost more than 3 million in one night, which was all paid for by the other party's accompanying financial director.
In this way, each of them owes the other more than 3 million.
Faced with this huge debt, they were dumbfounded and took advantage of others' shortcomings and softness. What should they do?
After returning from Aocheng, a senior executive of the other group met with them and told them clearly that they did not want the money, which was equivalent to being given to them.
There is no pie in the sky. Faced with each other's generosity, they knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, the other party handed them a piece of paper with the content they needed to know, and asked Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun to provide it.
When they saw the content above, they suddenly became nervous. What the other party needed were the Chint Group's highly commercial secrets related to this cooperation negotiation. Once given to them, the Chint Group would definitely fail miserably in this business negotiation and suffer major economic losses. loss.
Since they were loyal to Li Youwei, they naturally would not agree, so they flatly refused.
But even though they refused, they felt guilty because they owed them too much.
Because of this guilty conscience and debt, they became somewhat conflicted and entangled after rejecting the offer.
Faced with their rejection, the other executive was confident and directly showed a video and a dozen photos of them fooling around with beautiful women, and then said that if they did not want to see these things online, they must cooperate.
They were immediately dumbfounded. Although they were not within the system and would not be punished by political discipline for this kind of thing, once it was published online, their reputation and family would be ruined. At the same time, Li Youwei would never tolerate this kind of thing. A scandal that would have a negative impact on Chint Group, that is to say, they would not be able to continue working in Chint Group.
They realized that they had fallen into the trap set by the other party, and they couldn't help but regret it.
But it's too late to regret it. He has a huge lever in the opponent's hands, which will ruin their reputation and lose everything they admire.
Faced with each other's demands, coercion, and threats, they were in a dilemma and fell into deeper conflicts and entanglements.
Under this kind of contradiction and entanglement, after thinking over and over again, their will could not help but waver.
The other party saw their hesitation and wavering, and struck the iron while the iron was hot by proposing that as long as they cooperated, not only would they keep the matter a secret, but not only would they give up the more than 3 million they had advanced for gambling, but they would also give them another 3 million each.
They understood that the other party's investment in them was just a drop in the bucket compared to the huge benefits brought by winning the negotiation with Chint Group.
Under the opponent's combination of soft and hard tactics, kindness and power, they felt that they had no way out and could only agree.
So they did as the other party asked...
When doing this, they felt extremely uneasy and guilty, but they were helpless.
After the other party got what they wanted, they did not give up. The day before they returned to Jiangzhou, they gave them another content and asked them to report back to the group according to this.
They did this to confuse and mislead Li Youwei. They obviously wanted to take the absolute initiative in the negotiations with Chint Group and obtain maximum benefits.
The obsessed Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun are now firmly controlled by the other party. They have no other choice but to follow the other party's requirements.
After completing the inspection and returning to Jiangzhou, they made a report to Li Youwei according to the other party's requirements.
Therefore, in the first round of negotiations with the other group, Li Youwei was completely defeated. Chint Group lost all initiative and was in an extremely passive and dangerous situation.
After hearing what Li Youwei said, Qiao Liang felt extremely shocked and extremely angry. He would never have imagined that Li Youwei's highly trusted old subordinate, whom he rescued from fire and water, would fall into such a low state. He was so quick and thorough that he betrayed Chint Group and Li Youwei for personal gain.
Under such shock and anger, Qiao Liang was deeply disappointed, extremely disappointed.
