256. Confrontation 2
Before the meeting, Zhang Yingfang did not communicate with Zhang Quanfu what he wanted to say. After hearing Zhang Yingfang's comments, Zhang Quanfu was both surprised and relieved.
What was surprised was naturally that the company's business development was not ideal. Although I retreated behind the scenes, I still couldn't be a real boss.
But what made him happy was that Zhang Yingfang's philosophy of running a business and his perspective on difficulties were even more mature than he expected. Thinking that the truth that he had only realized in his 50s was lightly told by Zhang Yingfang, who was in his early forties, Zhang Quanfu was mixed with emotion.
It seems that it is still possible to be a half-handed manager.
"Can Mr. Zhang explain the words more clearly?" Zhang Yingfei suddenly said sarcastically, "I think many people here may not understand why sales declines 'not necessarily a bad thing'. Is this still a good thing?"
"In recent years, our production process and quality have been increasing, but under this circumstance, sales have been declining. In addition to the disconnection between products and market demand, it may also be related to our development thinking. We need to slow down and see the direction before talking about it." Zhang Yingfang said.
"What do you mean is that we are developing too fast? But haven't you managed the company and formulated the company's development strategy in the past few years?" Zhang Yingfei sneered, "You were the ones who asked for speed before, but now you are the ones who need to slow down. I'll ask you, what are you planning to slow down? Should you lay off employees or stop the production line?"
When Dong Yiqing saw that Zhang Yingfang's face was still pale, she knew that she might still be feeling uncomfortable.
Zhang Yingfang held her hands on the table, suppressed her disgust and asked, "If you have a better idea than slowing down, you might as well say it out and discuss it."
"What do I think?" Zhang Yingfei smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is my words effective here?"
"As long as it is a suggestion that is helpful to the company, whether it comes from management, ordinary employees, or interns, it will work." Fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Zhang Yingfang's forehead, "and vice versa."
This sentence whipped the face of a person with a ghost in his heart like a whip.
"Since President Fang has approved it, I will talk about it today." Zhang Yingfei stood up shamelessly, signaling Che Lizi to turn off the projector, and walked straight to the front of the conference room.
"If I were asked to say that I don't think we should discuss the company's business development now, but we should first see if there are any problems with the company's management. Of course, this management also includes me."
The last sentence was quite a bit like the 300 taels of silver here. Zhang Yingfang knew that it was Zhang Yingfei's intention to embarrass her, but she just frowned but did not interrupt him.
"Old Fourth, the company's management has been this group of people since the establishment of the company. What can I do? I warn you, don't be fooled by others if you have something to say," Zhang Yinghua raised his eyebrows. He felt that today's scene seemed quite good, so he quickly added firewood, hoping to burn Zhang Yingfei's fire more vigorously.
"I want to tell all shareholders one thing first. At the recently concluded Frankfurt Stone and Building Materials Exhibition, the company signed a large contract with a Luxembourg company. Just before the company wanted to execute the contract, the contract was rejected by our beloved CeO, my third sister, Ms. Zhang Yingfang. So our company breached the contract."
Many people have heard of this, but everyone knows that this is Zhang Yingfang's decision, so the room is very quiet and everyone has no reaction to Zhang Yingfei's words.
Seeing that everyone was indifferent to their words, Zhang Yingfei added: "We all know that breach of contract has a price, so what is the price the company pays? First, a considerable amount of liquidated damages. Second, the damage to the company's reputation. Third, this matter was finally exposed to the media. Now not only people in the industry know this, but even people outside the industry know it. No one expected that, we, Met Bear Whale, finally used this method to become a truly 'internationally renowned' company. It was simply ironic."
"Zhang Yingfei, this matter has nothing to do with what we are going to discuss today. And I have told you that the company is suspected of a shell company. Although it has compensated for a liquidated damages, we will lose much less than the value of the goods we are going to send." Zhang Yingfang said patiently.
"Haha, you're so funny, even black ones can be said to be white." Zhang Yingfei suddenly pointed at Zhang Yingfang with his hand rudely, "Do you say it's a shell company? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Yingfang knew very well that Zhang Yingfei had to be malicious in his usual conversations, and this matter must be cut off quickly. She nodded to Xiao Wu who was sitting on the side. Xiao Wu immediately stood up: "Mr. Fei, I drove to the Luxembourg company that day. I saw it very clearly. The address on the business card of the company was a residential building. Although there were shops nearby, there were no trading companies. I also took some photos at that time. Please wait." After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he quickly ran out of the conference room. Five or six minutes later, he returned to the house with a stack of photos.
"Mr. Fei, this is the photo I took at that time. Please check it out."
Zhang Yingfei took a few photos and then threw them on the table, looked down at the photos and asked, "Just because of this, do you say the other party is a liar?"
No one looked at anyone when he spoke. I don’t know whether this sentence was asked by Xiao Wu or Zhang Yingfang.
"Of course it's not the only thing, but it's definitely very important. If a trading company that is willing to spend a lot of money to purchase goods doesn't even have a decent house, then I must doubt whether it's a liar." Zhang Yingfang said coldly, "Do you have any other opinions? If we don't, we will discuss the next issue."
"Wait," Zhang Yingfei waved his hand and stopped him, "I have evidence too." After that, he took out a thicker stack of photos from his pocket and threw them to Che Lizi casually.
After Che Lizi briefly sorted out the photos, he distributed them to everyone's hands in the conference room.
Zhang Quanfu had seen these photos before, so he was not surprised. He was just curious about how Zhang Yingfang would explain this matter.
"After the company paid a high cost, I was extremely puzzled by Ms. Zhang Yingfang's decision, so I also went to investigate. But to my surprise, the results of my investigation were very different from hers. In these photos, there are not only other companies in Germany, but also France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and of course, most importantly, there are companies in Luxembourg. You can pay attention to the photos marked with green circles in the upper right corner, those are companies in Luxembourg."
The photo was also reported to Zhang Yingfang at this time. Zhang Yingfang identified suspiciously and carefully. She recognized it at a glance that the photo was indeed taking the outdoor scene of the street in Luxembourg.
What surprised her was that the nameplate of Louis' company hanging on the exterior wall of the building in the photo.
She looked through a few more photos, and she even saw Louis in some photos.
What's going on?
Zhang Yingfang turned to look at Xiao Wu, but saw that Xiao Wu's face had turned pale, and he didn't understand why Louis's company suddenly appeared from under the ground.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fei, when I got there that day, I did... I didn't see the photo in this company... I also asked a few residents who lived nearby, and the other party... I haven't seen it or heard of this company, Mr. Fang, you have also heard of the recording..." Xiao Wu stuttered.
Zhang Yingfang's mind was very fast, and she calmly put down the photo: "I asked Xiao Wu to go to Luxembourg shortly after signing the contract, but there was nothing there at that time, so I made the decision not to ship the goods. What I can assure all shareholders is that my decision was the best decision in the environment at that time. I did not explain to you that this matter was not intended to conceal it on purpose, but that it was indeed not worth wasting more time. I would rather pay the liquidated damages than bear the greater possible losses."
"Ms. Zhang Yingfang, you said you didn't mean to conceal this from the shareholders." Zhang Yingfei waved his hand and slapped a piece of paper as big as A4 on the table, "Then I ask you, what is this?"
Just as Zhang Yingfang was about to speak, she felt a soreness in her mouth and vomited it out for the second time.
