Chapter 313: Can human hearts be predicted?
At the end of the year.
The wind in Lingnan is the biting cold wind that rushes thousands of miles from Siberia.
It is dry and cold. Although most of the rain is dissipated by the southeastern hills and Nanling Mountains, it still brings thin snowflakes and beautiful but fragile rime to the northern mountainous areas of Lingnan.
At this moment, at the Hailufeng Company headquarters in Magong Town, Ye Meijing, head of the Finance Department, was reporting this year's financial report to Jiang Miao.
“…In 2028, the total revenue of the parent company will be 1.6674 trillion yuan; the expenditure will be 8414 billion yuan, and the gross profit will be 8260 billion yuan.”
Jiang Miao didn't find anything strange about this income.
Although Hailufeng Company is still called an agricultural company, it actually covers a wide range of businesses, including agriculture, food, chemicals, building materials, logistics, automobiles, airships, energy storage, power generation, photovoltaics, fuel, plastics, textiles, water affairs, environmental protection, tourism, catering, retail, takeout, medicine, medical care, semiconductors, superconductivity, aerospace, nuclear fuel, new materials, etc., involving more than 30 major industries of all sizes, among which many small industries have also been derived.
If the affiliated joint ventures are included, the industrial chain will be even larger and more complex.
In fact, Hailufeng Company has now been renamed "Hailufeng Agriculture and Technology Group", abbreviated as "Hailufeng Group".
However, the outside world is still accustomed to calling it Hailufeng Company.
Jiang Miao looked at Jiang Haibo, who had been in Southeast Asia for more than four months. "Haibo, the Southeast Asian market needs to be further developed. You should go there again in March next year."
"Sure." Jiang Haibo was naturally aware of the importance of Southeast Asia. At this stage, Hailufeng Company had almost reached its ceiling in China, so going overseas became an inevitable choice.
He actually felt very fortunate in his heart.
Because Hailufeng Company encountered a good opportunity.
If it weren't for the global climate crisis and the food crisis caused by leaf blight, which led to the complete defeat of American and EU forces in Asia, their Hailufeng Company would probably have to lie dormant for another five or six years before it could go overseas for development.
Crisis crisis.
While there are dangers, they also represent opportunities.
Jiang Miao looked at his brother-in-law again: "Brother-in-law, you will go to the Mo Nan Branch and Mo Bei Branch for a period of time in March next year."
"No problem." Zhang Xincheng nodded.
Suddenly Jiang Miao remembered something: "Oh, Xiaolong has been in the Liangzhou branch for two years. It just so happens that the Yuzhang branch has had some problems recently, so he was asked to go there as the vice president."
"A Miao, isn't this inappropriate?" My brother-in-law frowned.
Jiang Haibo thought it was nothing, and smiled to comfort him: "Lao Zhang, I have seen Xiaolong's internal assessment materials. He also worked his way up from the grassroots level step by step. Now he is the director of the dehydrated vegetable factory of Liangzhou Branch. If he is promoted to the deputy general manager of the branch, it will be nothing."
However, Zhang Xincheng shook his head: "I think he is still too young. He still needs more experience. If he stands too high all of a sudden, he will inevitably become complacent."
"Brother-in-law, there is a reason for this incident. I need him to calm people's hearts." Jiang Miao knows this nephew very well. After nearly three years of hard work, Zhang Xiaolong has experience in grassroots work. He has also traveled around the country with his parents for more than a year and managed farms and factories under a pseudonym.
Although Zhang Xiaolong is not yet 20 years old, his personality has become very stable. He has both the steadiness of Zhang Xincheng and the delicacy of his mother Jiang Xia.
Sometimes, management ability really depends on talent and environment.
Zhang Xiaolong's sister, Zhang Xiaomin, seems a little dull, but her academic performance is relatively good. This year, in the junior high school to high school examination, she ranked 28th in the city.
Of course, the two siblings are still not as good as Jiang Miao's daughter, who is only two years old but has shown signs of being very smart.
Jiang Haibo's eyes flashed: "Yuzhang Branch? Is it the incident two months ago?"
"Yeah, it's that thing." Jiang Miao's face looked a little unhappy when he mentioned it.
Lu Weibin, who had been silent the whole time, was a little worried: "Would it be inappropriate to leave that matter to Xiaolong?"
"Don't worry, he just went there to stabilize the branch. How to deal with that matter will be left to the Supervisory Department. Haoran has already gone there in person." Jiang Miao was not too worried.
After all, Zhang Xiaolong didn't need to deal with that matter. He just needed to stabilize the branch and recover the mess left by the unqualified branch management.
As for how to deal with unqualified management, Hailufeng Company has a complete set of systems in place, and there is no need for new supervisors to engage in intrigue over such matters.
The problem that occurred in Yuzhang Branch this time was mainly that the original general manager of the branch was transferred to Southeast Asia to be responsible for the development of Malaysia. Therefore, a new general manager needed to be promoted to serve as the head of the branch.
As a result, the three deputy general managers who had the opportunity to be promoted began to fight openly and secretly.
If it is just an ordinary little trick, the head office will turn a blind eye.
However, one of the vice presidents actually tricked the company into making false accusations. He used his lover, who he had secretly arranged in the branch office, to set up a trap for the other vice president, who was acting as the general manager, and falsely accused the other of sexually assaulting the female employee.
Although this guy acted very covertly, Jiang Miao was no pushover. On the one hand, he transferred the acting general manager back to the headquarters and questioned him personally. On the other hand, he conducted a comprehensive investigation of the relevant personnel through hacking methods on the Internet.
Whether the acting general manager lied or not, he could not hide it from Jiang Miao.
Therefore, he quickly identified the female employee and the culprit of the incident.
However, these evidences cannot be made public, and although Jiang Miao can be sure that there is nothing wrong with the acting general manager, this determination cannot be used as evidence.
After all, in recent years, various cases of false accusations of sexual assault have emerged one after another in the country, and it is difficult for men who have been falsely accused to prove their innocence.
This was also the idea of the instigator. As long as the female employee insisted, there would be no way to clear the acting general manager of the charges during the legal process, even if the legal team of Hailufeng Company tried their best.
What's more, the pressure of public opinion on the Internet is very high, which forces the legal team of Hailufeng Company to be extremely cautious.
If it was just a false accusation and was handled internally without it spreading to the Internet, Jiang Miao would not bother to take action. At most, he would find an opportunity to let the Supervision Department deal with these two people after the storm has passed.
However, after hearing about this, the family of the female employee felt that they had an opportunity and actually demanded that Hailufeng Company compensate her family with 10 million yuan before they would agree to settle the matter privately.
The branch's management naturally had no decision-making power over such matters, so the matter was brought to Jiang Miao's attention.
As soon as Jiang Miao investigated, he found out the truth of the matter. This was simply intolerable.
He decided to strike hard two months ago.
However, when Jiang Miao does things, he does not like to use relationships to suppress others. Instead, he wants to let the other party know in an open and aboveboard what technological domination means.
...
Zhang Xiaolong had just completed the work handover from the Liangzhou branch and immediately took the high-speed rail to the Yuzhang branch.
As soon as we arrived at the door of the branch office building.
He saw a dozen or so hooligans at the door, holding banners and slogans and making loud noises with loud speakers.
Zhang Xiaolong frowned at this matter, but he did not do anything and went into the underground garage.
Went to the general manager's office of the branch.
Zhang Xiaolong and his assistant Li Weili directly revealed their identities.
Soon, executives from the branch company came into the meeting room one by one.
Seeing such a young acting general manager, everyone was shocked and had different thoughts.
The middle-aged man wearing glasses and squinting his eyes had a smile on his face: "Everyone applaud to welcome Mr. Zhang." Clap clap clap clap...
No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone applauded enthusiastically. At least they had to maintain the appearance.
Another middle-aged man with a square face and slicked back hair also stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang's visit to our branch office has also solved our urgent needs."
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and looked at the two people who had just spoken. The one with glasses and squinty eyes was Deputy General Manager Song Hanbo, and the one with a square face and slicked back hair was another Deputy General Manager Zhang Dawei.
"I am young and don't have enough work experience. If there is anything wrong with my work in the future, please bear with me. You can also give me your suggestions directly."
"Mr. Zhang is so modest." Song Hanbo's heart suddenly became serious: "The surname is Zhang, and he is so young, could he be that person..."
Zhang Dawei said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Zhang is here to guide our work. Our branch companies without a leader need a young and strong manager like Mr. Zhang."
"Then please give me your guidance, my colleagues. I just arrived today, so I won't be making any work reports for the time being. Please give me a copy of the work reports for the past few months so that I can understand the situation first." Zhang Xiaolong did not act in a hurry.
"This guy is not simple! How can he be so calm? It seems that I have to be more careful in the future..." Song Hanbo's thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he smiled and nodded: "No problem, I will ask someone to send this year's report over right away."
Other executives also spoke up.
After a while, all the executives in the conference room left.
Only Zhang Xiaolong and his assistant Li Weili were left.
"What do you think?"
Li Weili thought for a moment: "Vice President Song is like a loach, and Vice President Zhang can't see anything."
Although his uncle did not give him any hints, Zhang Xiaolong had collected relevant information before coming here and knew that something was obviously wrong with the situation in this branch.
"No hurry, I want to see if they are human or ghost."
One afternoon, the two looked at the work reports of the past few months.
Wait until everyone gets off work.
He took his lunch box and came to the security room at the door.
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and asked, "Uncle, have you eaten?"
"Not yet? Why are you off work so late, young man?" The security guard was a man who was missing three fingers and was about fifty years old.
"I just reported for work today and a new general manager took office. Am I not worried?" Zhang Xiaolong handed the lunch box and drinks to the security guard: "Uncle, can you give me some guidance? After all, I am new here and I am not familiar with this."
The security guard didn't refuse. After taking the things, he crossed his legs and lit a cigarette: "Huh... young man, what do you want to know? I declare in advance that if it is a company secret, I don't know it."
Zhang Xiaolong took out another pack of Furongwang and handed it to the old man: "I understand. I just want to know some of the personalities of the leaders in our company, so as to avoid flattering the wrong people."
"Haha, young man, you're smart." The old man stuffed the cigarette into the drawer, then took a look at the surveillance camera and whispered, "Several of the heads of our company, including Vice President Wang who was dealt with, I won't say anything, he's also pitiful, he was screwed by someone."
"Oh? Poor? Got screwed? Uncle, tell me about it. I don't have anything to do tonight anyway." Zhang Xiaolong had the expression of a spectator.
"You're new here, so of course you don't know the secrets." The old man looked at the surveillance again, and then whispered, "Xiaoyan reported Vice President Wang, and it's most likely that Vice President Zhang was behind it."
"Vice President Zhang? The one with the square face and a serious look?"
"Well, don't just look at the appearance. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Vice President Zhang is very narrow-minded. Although he looks serious, he actually keeps Xiaoyan as his mistress."
"Uncle, how do you know?"
"Haha, I work night shift all year round. One night, when I was patrolling the corridor, I heard him and Xiaoyan in the office. You know..." The old man winked and grinned.
"I didn't expect that the serious-looking Vice President Zhang would be this kind of person."
"Haha, if it was someone else I wouldn't bother to tell him. I only told you this news because I saw that you are smart, young man. But don't tell anyone, otherwise both you and I will be in trouble." The old man quickly warned.
"I know, I know. I'm just a small fry. How dare I offend the company's senior executives?"
"That's good."
Zhang Xiaolong chatted with the security guard for more than two hours and gained a preliminary understanding of some of the company's senior executives.
In fact, it’s not the security guard’s fault for being careless.
The main reason was Zhang Xiaolong's age and appearance, which were too confusing. In addition, it was his first day here and the old man worked the night shift. He only knew that a new general manager had come today, so he naturally did not expect that the dark and strong young man in front of him was the company's new general manager.
In addition, the night shift was very boring, and the security guard rarely met a young man who was willing to chat with him, so he naturally told everything without restraint.
Come out of the company.
Li Weili, who was waiting not far away, brought a box lunch and drinks: "Mr. Zhang, your dinner."
"Thanks, Lao Li."
"You're welcome."
Return to the employee apartment arranged by the company.
The two of them ate while talking about what happened today.
"In other words, there is something wrong with Zhang Dawei?"
After taking a sip of lemon tea, Zhang Xiaolong expressed his guess: "It is not certain yet, but if he is really behind this, he has probably destroyed the evidence when he saw that the matter had become a big deal."
"Should we report this matter to the Supervisory Department?"
"Of course. Here is a recorder. Please work hard tonight to organize the contents and then send it to the Supervision Department in my name."
"no problem."
After dinner, Zhang Xiaolong stood at the window of his apartment, staring at the branch office building not far away.
In fact, he also found it difficult to deal with this matter.
If this matter is not made into an ironclad case, many people will definitely think that it was Hailufeng Company that used Jiang Miao's relationship to pressure Yan Chunping and Zhang Dawei.
After all, many people tend to think about problems from the perspective of conspiracy theories, and also like to imagine companies as big villains.
The difficulty in sexual assault cases is the difficulty in obtaining evidence.
If Yan Chunping insists on her statement, then Vice President Wang will have no way to defend himself.
After reading some of the internal content of the case, Zhang Xiaolong has initially figured out some things.
Zhang Dawei was also very clever. When he was plotting against Vice President Wang, he arranged for the internal surveillance camera system to be maintained a day in advance, rendering the surveillance cameras in Vice President Wang's office out of operation.
