Volume 1: Emperor's Soul Pearl Chapter 76: Stabbing the Head
Xiao Ziqing took less than an hour to arrive in Ning City with Tie Mo and a professional lawyer.
After that, basically everything was solved by Xiao Ziqing, because Xiangyang Wine and Jiale Beverage would be directly under Xiao Ziqing's name.
It wasn't until Xiao Ziqing officially took over the two major corporations that Lan Jinchong was finally free. They didn't know what kind of big shot was backing Jiang Xu, and for now, they didn't dare to provoke him either, so they left quietly without bothering him again.
Then, Jiang Xu and Xiao Zi Qing went to a large industrial zone outside the city of Ning - Xin Qiao Industrial Park. Xiao Zi Qing got into Jiang Xu's Cadillac, while Tie Mo and the lawyer sat in a Mercedes-Benz business car.
Xingyang Wine and Jialu Beverage are both located in Xinjiao Industrial Park, and the two major enterprises are relatively close, basically within a distance of less than one kilometer.
"Jiang Xu, why do you suddenly want to acquire Xuyang Brewery? From what I understand, Xuyang Brewery's performance has been extremely poor in recent days. Compared to the major beer brands in Fujian Province, it has almost no advantages to speak of. The sales of its old wine are also very sluggish. Unless a miracle occurs, there is basically no chance of rescue."
On the way to Xinjiao Industrial Park, Xiao Ziqing asked Jiang Xu with some confusion.
Xiao Zi Qing was only in charge of contract-related matters and did not know that Xiangyang Wine Industry and Jiale Beverage were both directly controlled by Jiang Xu, rather than being acquired.
"It's not necessarily that there is no turning point, and miracles often occur when people think they won't happen." Jiang Xu smiled mysteriously, his relaxed tone giving off a sense of being in control.
Listening to Jiang Xu's words, Xiao Zi Qing's clear and cold beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, asking: "Is there really a turning point?"
"The heavenly secret cannot be revealed. After you arrive at Xuyang Wine Industry, you will know." The mysterious smile on Jiang Xu's face grew a few degrees thicker.
Just over ten minutes later, the vehicle had already entered the Xinqu Industrial Park.
From afar, Jiang Xu could already see the huge golden sign of Xiangyang Wine Industry.
Xu Yang Wine Industry was established five years ago, its predecessor was a smaller local old wine industry, which was acquired by Lanjin Chong and then renamed Xu Yang Wine Industry.
After all, as a large enterprise with assets of over 100 million, Xiangyang Wine Industry will not be inferior to Jincheng Pharmaceutical in scale.
When it was first established, the performance of Xiangyang Wine Industry was still very good, but with increasingly fierce competition in recent years, the company's performance has been declining sharply almost every year.
Since last year, Xiangyang Wine Industry has been suffering huge losses every month. Lan Jin Chong also knew that there was no way to turn back the clock, so he didn't plan to continue investing. In fact, it's only a matter of time before Xiangyang Wine Industry files for bankruptcy.
At this moment, the gate of Xiangyang Wine Industry is tightly closed.
It was already around two o'clock in the afternoon, which is usually the time when most companies are busy with work. However, Xiangyang Wine Industry gave people a cold and deserted feeling. At the small door next to it, only a few listless employees were entering and exiting.
Two cars stopped directly in front of the gate of Xiangyang Wine Industry. When Jiang Xiang and Xiao Ziqing got out of the car, the company's gate suddenly opened, and two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, walked out quickly from inside.
The one walking in front was a middle-aged man who was obviously overweight, and from afar, he looked like a meatball.
This man is Yang Daming, the general manager of Xiangyang Wine Industry. He is a distant cousin of Lan Jin Chong. When he first entered Xiangyang Wine Industry, Yang Daming was very thin, but over the past few years, he has changed completely and gained more than 100 pounds.
It's easy to guess that Yang Daming must have made a fortune from Xiangyang Wine Industry, which is getting worse and worse in performance. But his wallet is getting thicker and thicker.
Another person, who was almost over fifty years old, was tall and thin, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on the end of his nose, and tightly pursed lips that gave people a very strict feeling.
This man also surnamed Yang, named Yang Sen, but he and Li Daming have no kinship or blood relationship.
Yang Sen is the deputy general manager of Xiangyang Wine Industry, but his power is pitifully small. Basically under Yang Daming's squeeze, this deputy general manager is just a nominal decoration.
Actually, Yang Sen is quite capable, doing things meticulously and with a sharp mind. When Xiangyang Wine Industry was first established, it was he who brought its performance up.
But after achieving success, he was directly marginalized by Yang Daming, which is also one of the important reasons why Xuyang Wine Industry has fallen to this point today.
Yang Daming and Yang Sen already knew about the acquisition of Xuyang Wine Industry, and before coming here, Xiao Ziqing had also called to contact the two men, so as soon as their car arrived, Yang Daming and Yang Sen immediately came out to greet them.
"Ah, you must be Director Xiao, hello."
Yang Daming's gaze quickly fell on Xiao Ziqing, and as he looked at Xiao Ziqing's clear and beautiful appearance, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. Then, with a hypocritical smile on his face, he walked towards Xiao Ziqing.
As they spoke, Yang Daming also stretched out his fat palm.
Xiao Zi Qing looked at Yang Da Ming with some disgust, she didn't have any intention of shaking hands with him and said: "You must be Yang Da Ming, from today on, you will no longer serve as the general manager of Xiangyang Wine Industry, I hope you can complete the handover as soon as possible."
Xiao Ziqing was also well-prepared. Moreover, Yang Daming has a notorious reputation in the industry for being greedy and treating wealth as his lifeblood.
As soon as Xiao Ziqing took over Xuyang Wine Industry, she naturally wouldn't let this thorn and worm continue to stay in the company, so she didn't even bother with courtesy and directly fired Yang Daming.
Yang Daming also realized that Xiao Ziqing was not a good person, his smiling face quickly disappeared, and he asked with some gloom: "Director Xiao, what do you mean? I don't understand?"
Xiao Zi Qing said coldly, "You don't need to understand, because from now on, you are no longer the general manager of Xiang Yang Wine Industry."
Yang Daming's eyes became even more gloomy, and he said in a sinister tone: "Director Xiao, leave a way out for yourself, it's better to meet again in the future. You don't have to be so ruthless, do you?"
Yang Daming was a young man who followed Lan Jin Chong to make a living on the road, in other words, he was a small hoodlum from an early age and had no business acumen. However, forming gangs and cliques was something he was extremely skilled at.
Even if Xiao Zi Qing acquired Xu Yang Wine Industry, he was not afraid of Xiao Zi Qing in his heart.
Because all the important departments of Xiangyang Wine Industry are his people, as long as he gives an order, these people will definitely go on strike immediately. He doesn't believe that Xiao Ziqing dares to dismiss everyone. If so, the operation of Xiangyang Wine Industry will be directly paralyzed.
"It's unnecessary, we won't meet again in the future."
Xiao Zi Qing gave Yang Da Ming a cold glance, then continued to say: "I'll give you half a day's time. Either you leave voluntarily, or I'll use legal means to make you leave this place."
Xiao Zi Qing was not afraid of Yang Da Ming at all. With Jiang Xu by her side, she didn't believe that Yang Da Ming could stir up any waves.
"Then I'll just wait and see, when the time comes, I'd like to see if you'll come crawling back to me."
Yang Daming left a ruthless remark and turned to leave without looking back, his tone as if he was certain that Xiao Ziqing would definitely come to beg him.
"Rascal."
Looking at Yang Daming's arrogant appearance, Xiao Ziqing couldn't help but lightly scold him.
She knew that Yang Daming would definitely play some tricks, but Xiao Ziying didn't worry at all and instead looked towards Yang Sen.
Yang Sen did not leave with Yang Da Ming, but instead asked: "Director Xiao, am I leaving too?"
Yang Sen's tone was tinged with a hint of regret.
He is not reluctant to give up his current position and salary, but he cannot let go of Xiangyang Wine Industry. He was the boss of that small wine industry acquired by Lanjin Chong back then, and Yang Sen has a deep affection for Xiangyang Wine Industry.
If it weren't for this, he would have quit and left long ago. He wouldn't stay here to suffer under the temper of someone like Yang Daming.
Xiao Zi Qing didn't quite understand Yang Sen, so she said directly: "I will only let some people who are incapable leave Xu Yang Wine Industry. If you think you're not capable, you can leave."
"Director Xiao, I think I should be qualified to stay." Yang Sen's answer was simple, but very confident.
And this confidence also made Xiao Zi Qing's evaluation of him a bit higher: "I can give you the opportunity, but whether you can stay or not depends on your own performance."
"If it's proven at that time that I don't have that ability, I will leave of my own accord." Yang Sen replied with great confidence once again.
He needs an opportunity, as long as he can give him a chance, he will definitely be able to show his ability, even if the current Xiangyang Wine Industry is hopeless, he also has 30% confidence to save it from the abyss.
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Zi Qing nodded slightly and said: "Then let's go in first, you gather all the high-level executives of the company, I want to hold a personnel meeting."
"Director Xiao, this matter is probably a bit difficult." Yang Sen wanted to speak but hesitated.
Xiao Ziqing just took a glance and roughly guessed Yang Sen's meaning, asking directly: "Is it because of that Yang Daming?"
"Hmm, now the high-level executives of Xiangyang Enterprise are almost all Yang Daming's confidants. If you fire Yang Daming, they might..." Yang Sen didn't continue speaking because he knew that Xiao Ziqing would definitely be able to guess what he meant."
"Is that so? Then let me see it for myself."
Xiao Zi Qing simply said something faintly and then walked into the company's main entrance with Jiang Xu.
In the first conference room of the Xiangyang Wine Industry office building, Xiao Ziqing had already sat down in the middle position under Yang Sen's accompaniment.
Jiang Xu sat beside Xiao Zi Qing, while Xiao An and Tie Mo stood on either side of them, like two door gods. Of course, there was also the lawyer who had come with Xiao Zi Qing.
However, the entire first conference room was empty at this moment.
Except for a few low-ranking deputy workshop directors, basically no high-level officials above the director level showed up.
It's clear that this is Li Daming giving Xiao Ziqing a warning shot.
Yang Sen couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, as Yang Daming had not only embezzled a large sum of money during his five years at Xuyang Wine Industry, but also replaced all the high-level executives within the company with his own loyal followers.
Under these circumstances, the entire company basically listens to what Yang Daming has to say.
As for Yang Sen, basically all his words need to be approved by Yang Daming before they can be spread out, otherwise, no one will take this deputy general manager seriously.
At this moment, Li Daming obviously wants to maintain his current position through this means, unfortunately, he has overestimated his strength.
Watching this scene, Xiao Zi Qing and Jiang Xu exchanged a glance.
Both of them could see a faint smile in each other's eyes, Li Daming's move was indeed very despicable, but this despicable move was exactly what Jiang Xu and Xiao Ziying wanted to see.
Since it's decided to clean up Yang Daming, it must be a thorough cleanup of his power and influence, no matter how vast they are, everything must be cleared out, not a single thing left.
As for the operation of Xuyang Wine Industry, Jiang Xu wouldn't worry about anything at all.
Because, Jiang Xu will let Xiangyang Wine Industry suspend business for a period of time to carry out major reforms and major changes, eliminating all traces of Lan Jin Chong, making Xiangyang Wine Industry truly become his own enterprise.
At this moment, Yang Daming was sitting in his office with a complacent expression on his face, holding an expensive cigar and savoring it.
There are many people in the office, basically they are all heads and managers of various departments, as well as heads of various workshops, basically they are all high-level personnel of Xiangyang Wine Industry.
Yang Daming took a deep drag on his cigar, then sneered in a low voice: "This stinky woman actually dares to fight me, I'd love to see how this widow commander is going to get out of this..."
Listening to what Yang Daming said, a manager from the marketing department suddenly chuckled and said: "Director Yang, this woman surnamed Xiao will definitely come to beg you. Without us, this company is just a mess, hehehe."
This guy is full of villainous aura, just one look and you can tell he's not a good character.
It's not just the head of this marketing department, basically most of the high-level executives in this office are like this, many of whom were Yang Daming's friends from his previous company, and basically they all have a rough background.
It can be imagined that these people grasp the lifeline of an enterprise, and it is difficult for this enterprise to go bankrupt.
Yang Da Ming obviously heard it very refreshingly, he coldly snorted: "Hmph, she doesn't even dare to fight with me, if I were to get ruthless, then she would be in for a treat."
By this time, Yang Daming's smile had clearly become somewhat awkward.
He actually has a big killer move. If Xiao Zi Qing dares to make a move on him, he will let Xiao Zi Qing experience what it means to be unforgettable forever.
PS: I've collapsed again, directly collapsing, today I've only updated 7,000 words, oh heavens, tomorrow I must update at least 16,000 words to get the full attendance reward, my brain is still dizzy, what can I do...
I really don't want to force updates for the sake of updating. When I was writing "Super Energy" earlier, Xiao Leng was in a high fever of nearly 40 degrees and insisted on updating for several days, which directly caused the plot of the entire book to be distorted and wasted. Now that I think about it, I regret it to death.
