Rebirth: It’s Like Flowing Water - Vol 5 Chapter 205
the next day.
Due to the time difference, Qi Lei didn’t go to the company in the morning and slept at home.
It was not until noon that he was disturbed by the knocking on the door of Brother Xiao Ma and Wu Ning, and went downstairs with Zhao Wei with dark circles under his eyes.
“Why aren’t you in a hurry at all?” Brother Ma started to scold as soon as he came in, “Let’s go, let’s conquer the United States!”
Well, now the little brother is even more excited than Qi Lei. After all, I have been holding back for several years, and now I am in a hurry to enter the bridal chamber like an old virgin who finally met good green tea!
It’s just a bit of a middle school, and he has been with Qi Lei for too long, and the petrochemical is serious.
Qi Lei perfunctory, while getting into the bathroom to wash.
“By the way!” Brother Xiao Ma and Wu Ning leaned against the door, “Who came to you last night?
“I saw someone going out, but I didn’t see anyone coming in!”
The three families were next to each other, and Adams didn’t carry anyone behind his back when he left, just happened to be seen by the little brother.
Qi Lei and Zhao Wei, who were brushing their teeth, were both stagnant and confused, “No one, Paulson’s people came over to meet.”
“Oh.” Brother Xiao Ma didn’t think much about it, let alone think that Qi Lei was pointed at by someone with a gun last night.
This is what Qi Lei told Lao Qin to keep secret on the phone last night.
Except for Zhao Wei, Qi Lei didn’t want anyone around him to know what happened last night.
They know, there is no use for anything other than to worry about it.
After everyone had lunch, it was already afternoon when they arrived at the company.
Uncle Geng convened the company’s management for a meeting, which also marked the official launch of the North American Three Stones.
Qi Lei briefly met the new colleagues in the North American company.
Among them, two heavyweights.
One is the operations director of Three Stones in North America, Bob Collins, who was originally an executive in an electronic product design company in Canada.
The other is Penguin Marketing Operations Director, Meryl Love, who has more than ten years of experience in Silicon Valley, specializing in website operations.
There are eight or nine remaining, three of which are white and five are Chinese. They are all recruited here.
For the boss of Qi Lei, the new management is also like thunder.
Whether it is his new concept of smartphones at Stanford or what he has done in China, it is not difficult to find online, and he has a deep understanding of it.
In fact, quite a few of them came for Qi Lei’s concept of a smartphone.
In American parlance, that’s a cool idea.
At this moment, everyone looked at Qi Lei, waiting for him to say something.
I saw Qi Lei smiling brightly, “Working with me should be a very relaxing and painful experience.”
“First of all, I like hard-working colleagues. As long as you do this, you will find that Qi is a good boss.”
“what!”
Everyone laughed, who said Chinese people are rigid? At least the Chinese are more open than the Americans.
“Secondly!” Qi Lei continued, “I’d love to listen to suggestions. So, whether it’s good or bad, I’m willing to listen to your ideas and ideas.”
“However, when it comes time to make a decision, I am a very dictatorial person. Once I decide something, please cooperate fully and do not compromise.”
“Otherwise, Qi will become very unreasonable again!”
Everyone nodded secretly again, and did not feel that there was anything wrong.
In fact, which of the giants in Silicon Valley is not a tyrant?
This is almost a necessary condition for the success of a high-tech enterprise.
The so-called high-tech enterprises are actually looking for a balance between technology and business.
Technology is too high to conform to business logic.
It’s too much in line with business logic and ignores the technological content.
Technology and business, in a sense, are contradictory.
At this time, a genius dictator is needed to guide the direction.
Bob said at this time, “boss, I’m looking forward to the future of Three Stones in North America.”
It’s a compliment, but it’s also an expression of a true state of mind.
But Bob didn’t expect, “Don’t! Don’t look forward to it.” Qi Lei smiled wryly and spread his hands, “Before looking into the future and officially starting work, I have to announce bad news to everyone.”
Everyone raised their eyebrows, “Bad news?”
Qi Lei was relatively calm, “Because of my personal reasons.” He spread his hands and said, “As you know, not long ago, I was involved in a suicide case of an American scholar. At the same time, coupled with my nationality, speaking psychologically, Not suitable for operating in sensitive industries in the United States.”
Mei Li was a little flustered, “This, will this have any effect?”
Only heard Qi Lei said truthfully, “It has a great influence.”
“Just last night, I got a definite news. The U.S. government will do some… some reasonable regulatory actions against Three Stones.”
As he spoke, Qi Lei pushed the regulatory clause that Adams gave him last night to everyone.
“See for yourself!”
This made a group of executives look at each other in dismay, feeling uneasy.
Even Brother Xiao Ma and Wu Ning were stunned. You know, Qi Lei didn’t even reveal them, and they just learned about it.
And after everyone read it, Bob was the first to lose control, “Where is this reasonable supervision? This is simply a violation! A complete trampling!”
Looking at Qi Lei, “Qi, we can’t accept it! This will shackle Sanshi and strangle us in the cradle.”
Mei Li was also a little anxious, “Can we sue the official? I think this is completely illegal, and we will lose the chance of fair competition.”
“It’s just ridiculous!
Other executives were also flustered. Although they didn’t say it, it was clear from their expressions that everyone was worried about this regulatory clause.
This has a great impact on Sanshi. If they had come up with this regulatory clause, they would not even come to Sanshi for an interview.
Because, this is almost a three-stone death sentence.
Brother Xiao Ma is in a bad state. I haven’t slept with green tea yet. This is about to be controlled by other men?
Hastily said, “Can we sue? Should we sue?”
Mei Li continued, “Absolutely! No company can accept such unequal treatment.”
Bob and others also said, “This is ridiculous, we have to fight back!”
“The United States is a free country, and officials should not discriminate against foreign companies!”
“We have a good chance of winning the case, we can’t bow to Washington!”
When everyone started talking, it was obviously unacceptable, and they had to face such a lot of pressure before they even started.
Qi Lei watched them quarrel for a while.
“Okay, be quiet, let me say a few words.”
The corners of his mouth rose, revealing an unnatural smile, “I… don’t plan to resort to the law.”
“Why?” Bob and Merry looked surprised.
“Qi, don’t be afraid of the threats from those politicians, we can definitely get this justice back.”
Qi Lei shook his head, “I’m not afraid, but I don’t want to waste this time.”
people,…
I saw Qi Lei leave his position and pace in the conference room.
Those who are familiar with Qi Lei know that he is about to start talking.
Commonly known as cheating!
“I know that your U.S. laws are quite sound, and I can get justice through legal channels.”
“However, the laws of your country are also very unfair. When you file a lawsuit, it depends on money, connections, and social influence.”
“For a Chinese like me, I don’t have much advantage other than money.”
“The American people will not be on my side, which is crucial and will greatly influence the final verdict.”
“And!” Just when Bob was about to refute, expressing that we had a chance to win, Qi Lei interrupted in time.
“And, even if you win, have you considered the time cost?”
“Extraordinarily long trial period, and before that, they can still supervise Sanshi. That is to say, during this period, we cannot escape such a fate.”
“Also, even if we win in the end, we will miss the golden period of development and will most likely die in this lawsuit.”
Everyone fell into silence, which was indeed a huge problem.
Bob pondered for a while, “What about that? Even if we don’t prosecute, it seems like we have little chance, right?”
But it was Qi Lei who walked behind him and held Bob’s shoulders, “Don’t worry, my friend! That’s exactly what I want to say today.”
Looking up at everyone, “Maybe before today, you thought you had joined a cool company with a promising future.”
“So now, I have to tell everyone that we have a bright future, and no one can stop us from being great!”
“However, the great process must be full of thorns!”
“You are not lucky enough to join Sanshi, but Sanshi will walk with you through wind and rain!”
To be honest, I was a little dumbfounded. Qi Lei’s speech was very beautiful and sensational, but… it was still unacceptable.
No one expected that the boss would establish such a corporate belief for them on the first day of his arrival.
A little… a little unacceptable.
Bob frowned. “But how can we become great under supervision?”
Qi Lei raised his brows, his smile became confident and expectant.
“This is the problem we are facing now! How can we do what we want to do under supervision.”
“I think, that’s a challenge in itself!”
Well, we are all adults, can we fool us without the tricks of fooling college students?
Afterwards, Uncle Geng still wondered, “I guess it doesn’t have much effect.”
But he didn’t want to, Qi Lei grinned, “I didn’t expect any effect.”
As adults, there are tricks to fool adults.
Adams’ so-called supervision came quickly. On the second day of the meeting, a group of uninvited guests entered the Sanshi headquarters.
And the leader was an old acquaintance.
Remember the last time Qi Lei came to the United States to discuss cooperation in the name of Gu Ge, Sansa, an official of the U.S. Department of Commerce?
I don’t know if it was intentional, or the enemy’s road was narrow, but this time it was her.
She is responsible for monitoring the operation of Sanshi and Penguin in North America for any violation of regulatory provisions.
Based in Sanshi Headquarters, responsible for supervision, coordination, and evaluation.
That is to say, she is now a non-staff of Sanshi.
Along with her, there are ed’s team of content experts stationed in Sanshi, as well as the officially designated content director and other personnel.
Let’s put it this way, in a sense, Sanshi and Penguin, in addition to the operation department, R&D department, marketing department, finance department, and several core management departments, other departments have been put on shackles.
Normally, if a company is limited to this extent, it is almost impossible to carry out normal work.
What’s more, Sansa obviously hadn’t forgotten the bad impression Qi Lei left her last time, and she was simply making things difficult for her.
After coming to Sanshi, the first thing to do is to temporarily take over the server and work records of Sanguan to check whether there is any illegal content. Even the office computer has to check the hard drive and email exchanges.
It was clear that he wanted to give Qi Lei a disservice.
Bob, Mei Li, and the others were already emotional, plus Qi Lei had been given the “pre-(o) anti-(fire) shot” in advance, and they were even more angry when they saw this situation.
When Sansa brought someone to take over the office computer in the operation department, Bob was even more furious, making Sansa very uncomfortable.
But Bob didn’t care so much, “You stupid bastards, get out of my office now!”
Sansa could only retreat in despair, she knew that Qi Lei, a Chinese, was easy to bully. But Bob, she was really afraid that this guy would go to the law in his own name.
She’s just doing business, and she doesn’t want to get into trouble.
Another irritable person who made Sansa and his subordinates disgraced was Sister Kou.
Sister Kou was born to be gentle with the world, so are you used to this?
Eyeballs stood up: “I see who dares to touch my computer!?”
“You terrified the little girl with a big diao. Not only has the old lady seen it, she has also killed it!”
Sansa: “”
other men,
Sister Kou, “This is my private workspace. Now I want to work. Who dares to come here?”
The man couldn’t help but take two steps back, staying far away from Big Sister Kou.
It’s fine if you swear at people, why are you still unbuttoning it? The **** undid two of the collars of her shirt, revealing a deep groove.
“Cut!” Big Sister Kou gave her a contemptuous look, staring at her crotch, “A bunch of eggless people!”
Yuzai turned around and went back to continue her blog.
“If you want to see my mother’s computer, you can read it at UU reading www.uukanshu.com when I get off work.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they really doubted that she had reacted so intensely. Is there something unspeakable on the computer who was thinking about it, Sister Kou said again, “But remind you, I have **** photos on my computer. Don’t be. What a blind eye, or I will sue you!”
Sansa is in a bad mood, this little girl is amazing!
However, after all, it was someone who came over and sneered, “Lady, please rest assured, I will check your computer in person.”
I’m a girl, are you alright? Can’t cure you?
pity!
Sister Kou, “You?” Glancing back at Sansa, “You’re even worse, who knows if you’re gay?”
“you!
Sister Kou, “Don’t come here, I’m a 3rd dan black belt.”
“I…” Sansa was going crazy.
Annoyed, he rushed into Qi Lei’s office.
“Qi, I remind you! It is not a wise choice to encourage employees to resist supervision. I will report to the Ministry of Commerce truthfully.”
Qi Lei was answering the phone, but he didn’t even look at her, “Stop pretending, if you don’t resist, why don’t you report it like this?”
After speaking, he handed the phone to Sansa, “I think you should answer this call.”
Sansa frowned, picked it up suspiciously, and a low male voice sounded from the opposite side.
“Ms Sansa, I’m Paulson, President of Desheng Investment Bank.”
Sansa paused and was about to speak, but Paulson obviously didn’t want to listen to her, her words were cold and emotionless.
I kindly remind you, Ms. Sansa, that Sanshi is indeed under the supervision of Washington, and Mr. Qi is also willing to accept normal and reasonable jurisdiction, but! ”
“Please stop in moderation!”
