Chapter 330 Who Wouldn't Become a Spirit?

"I... I don't understand," Xie Kai said, frowning and scratching his scalp in puzzlement.
"What don't you understand?" Xu Jing grinned, looking like a little fox.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"With the conditions you've set, are you actually trying to make a deal or just shutting the door on them?"
Xie Kai pouted and shook his head, "If I were Old Lan, I definitely wouldn't accept this. It's clearly giving up authority and pride! I don't see many benefits for him in this, so why would he agree to the deal?"
"Doesn't Mr. Lan want to make a deal? Then let's give him a fair and reasonable one."
Xu Jing said with a smile, "The purpose of a deal is to achieve a win-win outcome, not just benefit one party, right? So of course I have to make requests that are favorable to Zhiya. The reality is, Zhiya doesn't need Ruisen's team.
We have just dealt with an inspection and are now busy with the construction of the new office area. Where do we have the energy and financial resources to invest in this matter?
If Old Lan really wants us to participate, it's not impossible. Just show some sincerity. For example, give a little in terms of profit, a little in terms of power, a little in terms of the acceptance method...
You won't make any concessions at all, and want to keep all the benefits while making it seem like this deal is dispensable to us. That doesn't sound right, does it?
Why is that? Lan Zong isn't the only smart person in the world, and Zhiya wasn't born owing Ruisen anything."
"How come I feel like you Zhiya people... seem to have a grudge against Risen, as if everyone becomes especially guarded at the mere mention of Risen or President Lan?"
"If he had done similar things to you all at Oupin, you wouldn't be asking me this question."
Xu Jing sneered, "Deception, disassembly, provocation... Zhiya talks about reason and law. We despise and look down upon those who scheme against others and play petty tricks."
For example, if you and I sit together, you come with a certain purpose on behalf of your company, but as long as it is reasonable and legal, we can continue to talk.
But Blue Manager is different. He has a purpose from the very beginning, either to weaken the other party or to attack his opponents, and he will stop at nothing to achieve this goal, which is unacceptable.
Zhiya is willing to communicate with all industry peers, but those who do not respect us and think they can trick others to achieve their own goals are not included!
"Oh, so you wouldn't do something like leaving a position or giving a title to Chief Lan. Right?" Xie Kai said, slapping his knee heavily.
"We were once colleagues. Wasn't he the chairman of Zhiya? But he obtained this position through deception, which is unacceptable.
Moreover, during his tenure, he sought to merge Zhiya into the Ruisen system, using various means to squeeze out our cadres, resulting in a massive loss of key personnel.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"We haven't even haggled over these losses, so how could we reappoint him?" Xu Jing looked carefully at Xie Kai: "Could it be that... Chief Lei has the intention of re-employing him?"
"Huh? Oh, no way!" Xie Kai hurriedly waved his hand: "We haven't even decided whether we'll participate or not, let alone anything else.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tag:"The reason I came to talk to you today is also to hear if you have any thoughts or suggestions. After all, you interact with each other more and should have a better understanding of Ruisen's situation than Oupin."
"As for that, I'm not in a position to comment. If I say the wrong thing, Mr. Lei will surely come after me!"
Xu Jing stuck out her tongue exaggeratedly, "I can only tell you Zhi Ya's thoughts. As for the rest, I'm afraid you'll have to figure it out and make the decision yourself."
"Aren't you afraid that I might use what I learn about your thoughts against you?"
"It doesn't matter." Xu Jing shrugged, "Reisen is dispensable to us anyway, so use the information however you want."
Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:The little fox instantly transformed into an old tortoise, hey! Xie Kai had nowhere to attack.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "So do you still accept a split acquisition like last time?" Last time, Zhiya took away Ruisen's media division, while Oupin obtained the other parts.
Xie Kai felt that he should ask clearly whether Zhi Ya was completely indifferent or was thinking about which part to bite first.
"Are you saying that our two companies should cooperate again?" Xu Jing shook her head, "I'm not being polite, I really can't manage it and don't have the energy."
She pointed her hand towards the east: "The construction area is two thousand square meters, with two floors totaling over three thousand. It involves design, renovation, water and electricity, interior decoration, furniture, equipment, wiring......
From the overall structure of the entire factory to the color of a single carpet, overlooking any aspect could potentially leave behind problems.
Let me tell you, in that place, workers previously had to run fifty meters outside to use the toilet. Now, I want to connect the water supply and drainage into the building, and I need to design more than one location because there are a total of ten reserved positions for restrooms throughout the entire building!
She spread her hands: "At present, our business departments have not yet fully resumed work. The units that have started working are market, R&D, human resources, administration, and finance, which are all supporting departments.
I must complete the renovation and begin the interior decoration phase before resuming work; otherwise, I won't have enough energy later on.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:As soon as the business department returned, the first thing they did was hold a briefing to stabilize the troops by addressing issues such as transportation, shift scheduling, room and board, and subsidies for the new office area.
You said, how do I have time now to solve the people's pressing concerns and help General Lan? Unless he makes concessions that are particularly favorable to Zhiya and especially motivating to our various economic management members.
"All right then, I can endure it. I'll take on more burdens while I'm still young, otherwise what's the point?"
"But... isn't this a great opportunity for you to take revenge?"
"An opportunity? Normally it would be, but not now," Xu Jing shook her head. Suddenly she leaned in and asked, "What position does your boss Lei want to give Lao Lan? Tell me about it."
Xie Kai was about to speak, but his eyes flickered and he changed his words: "It's nothing much. I just want to give him a nominal official title and let him manage the logistics. It sounds and looks good.
After all, he has worked for the Ruisen brand before, so it's not good for him to be idle. Let him make use of his remaining energy."
"Hmm! It seems that CEO Lei also knows that the two characters 'Ruisen' are a bit of a thorny issue."
Xu Jing nodded slightly, "Give him a title, which can both appease the original Ruisen employees and utilize his charisma. CEO Lei's idea is pretty good!"
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:With a flash of her eyes, she looked at Xie Kai with a faint smile and asked, "I just don't know if Ou Pin has the ability to swallow this big lump again."
"What do you mean?" Xie Kai's heart stirred and he hurriedly asked.
This year, Lei has already acquired two headhunting companies and four RPO companies, with a combined scale of over a hundred people, right?
Not to mention how you plan to integrate Raycen's team after the acquisition, how does Lei intend to cover just the acquisition costs alone? Zhiya doesn't seem very interested, so it's down to Feifan and your company to compete for it.
Here is the translation of the web content into English, preserving the original HTML tags:Both sides are determined to win, so it depends on who offers more. I'm afraid Mr. Lan will wake up laughing in his sleep." Xu Jing nodded annoyingly.
"So what should we do? The old man has made up his mind, and he won't be able to sleep if he doesn't do this. Even if he knows the price is high, he still has to make a move."
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Xie Kai shook his head in distress, "I don't really agree with doing this, but he's afraid that if Non-Ordinary takes it over, it will be even more unfavorable for us..."
"Therefore, Chairman Lei can't just talk about price. He also needs to prepare more bait to hook Chairman Lan."
"Oh! So he gave up the chairman position... Hmm, I see!" Xie Kai realized he had let something slip and hurriedly tried to cover it up awkwardly, causing Xu Jing to purse her lips and smile.
"But... if President Lei wants to acquire Ruisen, I'm afraid this is still not enough."
"Still not enough? Surely President Lan doesn't have such a big appetite, right?" Xie Kai said in surprise.
"A single CEO could make President Lan obediently lie there and serve Ou Pin? I don't think that's very likely!"
Xu Jing shook her head. She first called the waiter to take away the coffee and replaced it with a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice for herself. Only then did she say slowly, "President Lan is a person who loves to make trouble. You need to find a way to let him know that making trouble will be detrimental to himself and will bring him losses."
Here is the content translated to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"A mere title of president can't tie him down, don't you think?"
"Ah, yes!" Xie Kai nodded thoughtfully. "It wouldn't be good if he makes trouble. Perhaps we should lower his position...?"
"No way!" Xu Jing immediately denied his suggestion, "If the title is too low, it won't be attractive enough. Will he even come? Besides, since we've decided to leverage his influence, a title that's too low won't achieve our goal, right?"
President Lei made the right decision to give him the CEO position. You can only think about how to come up with ways to prevent him from messing around, under the premise that President Lei agrees to give him a high position.
Xu Jing laughed after saying that, "Anyway, I don't think this is an easy thing to do!"
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"This... to make him stop causing trouble and treat Ou Pin like his own company, the only way is to give him shares! However, doing this comes at too great a cost, doesn't it?"
Xu Jing looked completely innocent: "It wasn't my idea, I didn't say anything."
Xie Kai returned with his head full of doubts. Xu Jing came back to find Wei Dong in high spirits, and reported to him the situation she learned about Ou Pin's side.
Wei Dong looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "Lei Yin not only wants to assimilate Rui Sen, but also wants to order Lao Lan around, which is quite difficult.
We know this person well. If it were me, I wouldn't bring trouble upon myself. Old Lan is not someone who can be content with being inferior to others or satisfied with the current situation.
If he goes to Oupin, sooner or later, he will stir up trouble!
As they were talking, Lou Dasheng and Liu Ke arrived together, followed by Chen Lan. Everyone gathered to prepare for this week's management meeting.
Han Wei and Director Chi had not arrived yet. Taking advantage of this gap, Wei Dong asked Xu Jing to repeat today's events once again.
Here is the translation with the original HTML tags preserved:"Hey, I really didn't expect that this Chief Lan would become so sought after. Both families want to fight over him?" Chen Lan said in amazement.
"This is called maximizing investment returns. Any resources that can be utilized cannot be easily let go," Liu Ke said.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Lou Dasheng snorted and looked up at Wei Dong, "Let me ask you a question. Between Feifan and Oupin, which poses the biggest threat to us?"
"From a business scope perspective, neither really poses much of a threat."
Wei Dong said, "Feifan focuses mainly on headhunting, so there might be some overlap with our business. Oupin seems to be expanding recently with a focus on RPO, which means we won't have too much direct competition with them."
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"But Lei Yin seems particularly interested in this Ruisen matter...," the Daoist priest said, reaching out to pick up his large tea cup.
"You mean, CEO Lei still can't let go of the headhunting business?" Liu Ke realized.
"Yes, that's a possibility." Lou Dasheng said while blowing on his tea leaves: "RPO can directly increase Ou Pin's revenue, but it can't generate the kind of profit that headhunters do, so Leiin Tech wants to acquire Ruisen.
I guess he's also worried about balancing income and expenses. He's bought so many small companies; he's got to show investors a return on investment, right? Just looking at revenue isn't enough!
Here is the translation with the original HTML tags preserved:He took a sip of tea, looked up at Xu Jing with a smile, and said, "What does Julie think? Which family would you like to take in Ruisen?"
Xu Jing glanced at the others and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter which family takes him in.
As Da Wei said, they are far less of a threat to our business than those few foreign headhunting firms, which are known for their expertise in high-end positions, directly competing for our market share!
However..., President Lei is an experienced and steady person in handling matters, and he is kind to his subordinates and willing to listen to their opinions. On the other hand, President Chen has a ruthless style, and his word is the law in the company, making employees fear him.
From Lawyer Chen's words, it can be felt that even Old Lan is quite apprehensive of Chen Dongbin, which shows that his style is relatively tough.
We have had many rounds with Director Lan, and I think no one here wants him to continue making trouble. From this perspective, I hope that the extraordinary President Chen can subdue him.
"With him holding the person down, he won't be able to flail around wildly anymore, which would be the best!"
Everyone laughed. Wei Dong nodded, "Julie has voiced what we were all thinking!"
Here is the translation with the original HTML tags preserved:"Then, should we try to make something extraordinary happen?" President Lou asked softly, stunning everyone. They had not considered this question.
"President Lou, are you saying we should get involved? That... doesn't seem like a good idea," Chen Lan said nervously.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"Wolf, what are you so nervous about? I'm not planning to do anything illegal," Lou Dasheng said with a mocking glance.
"Then... how are we going to 'make it happen'?"
"Persuade Lei Yin to give up this deal."
"This, this is impossible? Lei Yin must be determined to acquire Ruisen. How could he agree to let go?"
"Nothing is impossible for a willing heart," said President Lou as he put down his tea cup. With his hands in his pockets, he smiled and looked at Xu Jing again, "For anything, you only know if it will work or how difficult it is after you try. Before that, it's all just theorizing or guessing!
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"Julie, pick a nice sunny day and invite your son-in-law to come tour our new office area!"
"Okay. Do you want to convey any particular messages to him during the tour? And have him relay anything back to President Lei?" Xu Jing asked.
"No, it's not for me to say. It's you!" Lou Dasheng gestured with his chin.
"Me? Well, what should I say to convince them to cooperate with us?" Xu Jing was puzzled, worried that she lacked the experience or might mess things up if she didn't say the right things.
Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"You came to me in advance. This mountain man has a clever plan!"
Fine, the Taoist priest was being profound again. Xu Jing nodded in agreement. But then suddenly it seemed like it was nothing much, and perhaps the old Taoist was just trying to be mysterious.
Isn't it just exaggerating the dangers and difficulties to make Lei Yin back down, what's so difficult about that?
She reckoned that the old Taoist's idea would be nothing more than this. Tsk, what's the big deal? Who can't become a master?
Here is the translation of the provided content into English, preserving the original HTML tags:But when she made an appointment with Xie Kai and turned around to visit the Taoist priest as scheduled, she was told that Director Lou had gone to Jiufeng with his friends.
Zhu Hui handed her an envelope. When she opened it, she saw written on the paper: "His great achievements have startled the sovereign; raise the price and increase the payment."
This means that Zhu Hui expressed that she knew nothing and couldn't help.
The frustrated Xu Jing took the envelope and walked back. When she reached the door of the library, she suddenly called out. She understood the Taoist priest's intention, and it was indeed a wonderful plan!
