Chapter 143 Breaking the situation

Dai Songquan led his senior management team out of the conference room. Except for Wu Wenjun, who stayed behind to finish things up, everyone else followed him to the president's office on the 28th floor.

Everyone took their seats on the sofas in the reception area. Dai Songquan's slightly serious expression relaxed, and the others also showed smiles.

Although no resolutions were reached at this shareholders' meeting, their strategic goals have been achieved.

Dai Songquan looked at Wei Hongsi sitting in the corner, feeling particularly satisfied, and said with a smile, "Hongsi deserves the most credit today."

"Well done!" Qian Jiayu gave Wei Hongsi a thumbs up.

"Luckily, it was Hong Si who went on stage today. If it had been me, I definitely wouldn't have achieved this effect," Gu Shiming said, not holding back his praise.

Presenting a project proposal at a shareholders' meeting is no easy task, as shareholders will inevitably be on the opposite side, and will oppose it regardless of the content of the presentation. Moreover, the main point of this presentation is not the project itself at all.

Facing the doubts and accusations of a group of seasoned veterans, and having to complete a special task, the pressure is definitely not small. Even experienced project managers may not be able to do it well, let alone a young person who has not been working for long.

Therefore, the original candidate for this stage was not Wei Hongsi, but Gu Shiming, or a choice between Yu Sheng and Fang Wei. The latter two are about to be promoted to general managers of the center and will also be members of the future senior management team.

But it's precisely because it's difficult that it's all the more necessary to do it. So Gu Shiming thought it was okay for Wei Hongsi to give it a try, after all, this junior brother was no ordinary person. Last Saturday at the sect gathering, he asked Wei Hongsi for his opinion and then reported it to Dai Songquan.

Although Dai Songquan had only met Wei Hongsi a few times, he had learned quite a bit about him through Zhou Qihong, Gu Shiming and others.

Wei Hongsi's performance at the last meeting in room 2210 left a very deep impression on Dai Songquan. Afterwards, Wei Hongsi repeatedly demonstrated outstanding abilities, which Dai Songquan was well aware of, and he immediately agreed.

For most people, this would be just icing on the cake, but for Wei Hongsi, it was a great opportunity. Dai Songquan was already preparing to become Wei Hongsi's off-campus mentor, so it was only natural for him to take care of his own student.

They had made an optimistic assessment of Wei Hongsi's performance, but the actual results far exceeded their expectations.

Wei Hongsi smiled and said, "That's because they underestimated me because I'm young."

"Don't be modest," Ji Yongsheng said with a smile. "During your first break, you went to chat with President Hua. No one else in our group can learn that trick."

Wei Hongsi said, "This is still an advantage of being young. However, I think President Hua is still quite positive about this project, and President Liu also has a certain inclination."

This view was shared by everyone. When Wei Hongsi reported on the project, Dai Songquan and a group of senior executives paid special attention to everyone's reactions. Although their perspective was not as good as Wei Hongsi's, they could see quite a lot.

The group then analyzed the reactions of the other shareholders and assessed their attitudes. As they talked, the topic turned to Tai Liqun.

Jiang Kai said, "I think the group leader is really angry with Hong Si this time."

Ji Yongsheng laughed and said, "That's right, he even broke the pencil in half, which completely broke Old Tai's defenses."

Lin Fangzhe asked curiously, "Group owner?"

Jiang Kai said, "We used to have a small work group, which was first created by Lao Tai. He was the oldest and wanted to make all the decisions, so we called him the group leader. It's been more than ten years since then, before WD was even developed."

As Dai Songquan listened to Jiang Kai recount the past, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Tai Liqun joined the company on the day it was founded. Although he was not a co-founder, he was an absolute veteran of the company.

This person has many strengths. They are hardworking, responsible, and dedicated during the company's early stages. They are also very willing to help newcomers.

However, he also has many shortcomings. He has a bad temper, is impatient, likes to act like he's a senior figure, and expects everything to be done his way.

In the early days of the company's development, these problems were not significant. At that time, the company was small, and the management team got along like brothers. Everyone knew Tai Liqun's temperament, and since he was the oldest, no one would hold it against him.

Most importantly, at that time, Tai Liqun's opinions were basically correct, and it was normal for people to listen to him.

However, as the company grew and expanded into more and more cutting-edge business areas, many of Tai Liqun's ideas began to become outdated, and his opinions were no longer correct most of the time.

However, Tai Liqun maintained his consistent work style. Senior colleagues could tolerate his temper, but they could not tolerate his wrong ideas.

After several major disagreements and conflicts, Tai Liqun's personality became more extreme. He was always emotional at work, spoke sarcastically regardless of the audience, and scolded people indiscriminately. Most of the company's middle managers had experienced this.

Jiang Kai, Ji Yongsheng, and Meng Haolin, who was arrested by the police, were all reprimanded or harassed by Tai Liqun back then.

Later, more and more people became dissatisfied with Tai Liqun, which severely impacted many operations, making him the first senior executive to be ousted. When Dai Songquan proposed removing Tai Liqun from his company position, very few people were willing to speak up for him.

However, Dai Songquan did not advocate taking back Tai Liqun's shares, firstly because of Tai's contributions to the company, and secondly because they were entrepreneurial partners who had fought side by side, and their relationship was extraordinary.

What Dai Songquan didn't expect was that after disappearing for a while, Tai Liqun started causing trouble again and again. Later, several senior executives left the company, partly due to Tai Liqun's instigation. Moreover, because he set the precedent of leaving the company but retaining shares, others followed suit and demanded the same treatment.

Although Dai Songquan knew there might be hidden dangers among the company's founding shareholders, he couldn't show favoritism. At that time, he felt that his old colleagues would always show some consideration, and even if some didn't, it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

After listening to everyone's analysis of the situation, Dai Songquan said, "President Ji, contact President Liu later and sound him out."

"Okay." Ji Yongsheng nodded.

Dai Songquan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll contact President Hua. Let's put the other shareholders on hold for now and wait for them to react."

With the next steps decided, the senior executives and Wei Hongsi left to attend to their respective tasks.

Dai Songquan walked to the window and stood there for a while before taking out his phone and dialing a number.

"Mr. Dai, what can I do for you?" came Mr. Hua's voice from the other end of the phone.

Dai Songquan chuckled twice and said, "Old Hua, I haven't been a good host for you this time. I haven't fulfilled my duty as a local."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Hua said, "I'm also the owner, so there's no way I've failed to provide adequate hospitality."

Dai Songquan smiled silently and said, "How about we have a couple of drinks together?"

Hua Zong replied, "Okay."
