Chapter 44

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent again.

Because the new president has not shown much, many people in the company only know his surname Pei, but do not know his specific name. For many people, the three words Pei Yusheng were the first time they heard it when they were doing a collective joint letter.

Now that everyone suddenly learned that Pei Yusheng bought the land, think about the purpose of the joint letter...

This is embarrassing.

There was a longer silence in the office.

After a while, someone asked in a low voice, "So this piece of land... was photographed by President Pei?"

"That's for sure. The Jianghai Investment Co., Ltd. that can be found on the Internet is the only one, and the relevant information is also consistent."

Another person carefully studied the content of the announcement and couldn't help but stunned: "This is nearly 4,000 acres of land... More than 9 million square meters, and the bid price is 160 million. This is too embarrassing."

Being able to come up with a working capital of one billion yuan all at once, Jiang Hai's asset strength can be imagined naturally. Although Yuntu's annual net profit is quite considerable, it is quite difficult to suddenly allocate so much funds. Even if you ask for help from the headquarters, you need to wait for the approval of the formalities, which will take a lot of time.

It is precisely because they know how difficult it is to raise funds, and know that the competitors of the dike will not be able to come up with so much money, so everyone had hoped that no one would win the bid, and wanted to wait for the government to split the land and re-bid.

But it never occurred to me that a company actually took out so much money directly.

The owner of this company is actually the new president of Yuntu who has always had opinions.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to be excited or guilty.

So they have always misunderstood President Pei before?

But this is too strange... Someone couldn't help but ask: "Since the land was photographed by Mr. Pei, why didn't he use Yuntu and go around and use other companies to bid?"

"Is it because our company can't make so much money?"

"Then what's going on with this piece of land? With such a large piece of land, let alone building an R&D center, it's enough to build a new Xinghai headquarters..."

"Shh!"

As soon as Xinghai Headquarters was mentioned, someone immediately reminded him to stop the topic.

The headquarters of Xinghai is located in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Over the past few decades, Xinghai can almost be said to have developed and taken off together with the environment. When the Xiangjiang Xu family invested in the mainland, they chose Shenzhen and Hong Kong, which are adjacent to Xiangjiang and have fairly open policy conditions.

Shenzhen and Hong Kong have unique advantages, but the only thing is that the natural geographical area is not large enough. This has led to a rise in land prices and a corresponding series of soaring production costs, such as living facilities, human resource costs, and so on. In recent years, there have been frequent rumors that Xinghai headquarters will move out of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, which attracted Xinghai chairman Xu Yuncheng to respond in person, saying that Xinghai headquarters would not leave Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

For a technology group of the size of Xinghai, even the establishment of a subsidiary will have an important impact on the local performance, not to mention the relocation of the headquarters. The official is quite sensitive to this matter, so since Chairman Xu Yuncheng responded, there is also an unwritten rule within Xinghai, no longer talking about the geographical location of the headquarters.

The topic returned to President Pei. But in fact, no matter how much discussion, it is difficult for everyone to figure out the true thoughts of the new president.

Curiosity couldn't stop, and some people couldn't help but start from other angles.

"I found other companies under President Pei's name!" A colleague was overjoyed at first, then surprised, "My mother, why are there so many..."

Everyone else's attention was attracted: "Which which?"

The colleague read: "In the companies associated with 'Pei Yusheng', there are 18 senior executives, 7 legal persons, 9 shareholders... Mom, is Mr. Pei so powerful?"

"The key shouldn't be the quantity...? What other information is there? Let's look at the registered capital. Is this related to the scale of the company?"

"It's only after seeing these registered capitals that I feel amazing. Look at this, Jianghai (Jingsu Province) Investment Management Co., Ltd., legal representative: Pei Yusheng, position: executive director and general manager, legal person, registered capital: 90 million Renminbi... 90 million! Did I count zero?"

"No, it's ninety million..."

"And the date of establishment, nineteen... is this twenty-five years ago?"

What was the concept of ninety million twenty-five years ago?

Twenty-five years ago, Xinghai's annual profit just exceeded one million.

Everyone was collectively choked again by this amount.

What's more, Jiang Hai is only a company under Pei Yu's reputation.

A colleague whispered: "I used to think that it was a luxury for President Pei to change a different luxury car every time he came here, but now let's see... what kind of luxury is that? President Pei changes a car every day, and he can't show that he has One-tenth of the money."

Some people were also curious: "Oh, right, isn't it possible to check corporate information online all the time? Why didn't anyone know about this before?"

"Yes, yes, and Jiang Hai's establishment date was twenty-five years ago. How old was President Pei at that time... He should have just been born, right? Why is he a director?"

The person who first checked the information was clear about this: "Because many of Mr. Pei's shares and positions have just been changed during this period, this is Jianghai, and the change was only completed in October, and the same is true for more than a dozen other companies."

Someone echoed: "Maybe these companies were all employees of President Pei's elders before, and they just gave him this time?"

"However, the time for the change is really near enough. The procedures for changing legal entities and executives are very troublesome. With so many families together, they can't go through the procedures until they are too busy to touch the ground..."

Hearing this, a colleague suddenly realized something: "... busy?"

"Mr. Pei hasn't come to the company for a while... Isn't it just because he is busy with these things?"

When this guess came out, everyone was stunned.

"Well, then how did he..."

Someone wanted to ask, "Why didn't Mr. Pei say it?" When the words came to their mouths, they understood it.

This is Pei Yusheng's personal asset, it has nothing to do with Yuntu, and there is no need to disclose it.

"And you see, our company originally planned to bid for the small piece of land in Shanhai Manor, and it took so long to make a plan. This time, Mr. Pei auctioned off nearly one million square meters of land, so the workload of this bidding plan... …”

Needless to say, everyone can complete it by themselves.

"So even though Mr. Pei didn't come, he certainly wasn't idle. It is estimated that he has been busy with bidding. But no one knew about it before, and someone wrote a joint letter to sue him. This..."

Everyone looked at each other, their moods were extremely complicated.

Someone whispered: "Fortunately, no one in our department followed to sign."

There are few people in the design department, and it is not the core technical post in a technology company, so this matter is not too deeply involved.

But having said that, everyone still didn't feel much better.

They did not follow the signature, but they also had a deep-rooted prejudice against the young new president.

In fact, there are not only a few people in the design department who are in a complicated mood.

Because very quickly, the results of the announcement spread throughout the entire cloud map.

Although the number of people who signed the public letter was only one-tenth of all employees, the company's internal views on Pei Yusheng were basically the same, and no one had ever stood up and said anything good for Pei Yusheng before. Not to mention anything else, even the refreshment hall approved by Pei Yusheng has gradually become inaccessible due to the spontaneous resistance of the people or the gregarious avoidance of suspicion.

Now when the news of Pei Yusheng's winning the bid came out, everyone fell through their glasses.

The person who has always been rumored to be ignorant and neglectful in his duties has actually become the real savior of Yuntu at the critical moment. This 180-degree reversal, which has always been seen only in literary works, actually appeared in reality.

For a time, Yun Tu changed his frustration and resentment, but was once again enveloped by a more complicated emotion.

This sentiment peaked the next day when the bidding team updated the proposal.

The news that Jianghai Investment Company, whose new president is the legal person, has won the bid has been thoroughly spread, but there are still many questions in the follow-up. For example, why did the new president go to great lengths to use other companies to bid for the auction, what to do when the land was auctioned, why did Yuntu fee make such a big effort to make a plan since it was a bid by Jianghai, and so on.

On the day of the announcement, the new president still did not appear in the cloud map. These questions could not be answered. Everyone could only exchange information privately and speculate.

Until the tender proposal on the company's internal website updated the information.

The information was modified by Yuntu's bidding team. Although the specific content of the bidding plan will not be fully disclosed, employees can only view the relevant content that can be viewed under their permission, but the name and remarks of the proposal can be seen by all regular employees in the company.

This change is actually not a big deal. The team only added a note below the necessary information such as the project number and project name——

"Xinghai Qingpu Lake R&D Base Conceptual Planning No. 2".

But it was this short line of remarks that caused an uproar inside the cloud map.

Xinghai Qingpu Lake R&D Base!

Qingpu Lake is exactly the piece of land that Pei Yusheng photographed. Everyone has guessed how to use such a large piece of land more than once before. But no one thought that this land would be used by Xinghai to build a research and development base.

Xinghai's R&D base and Yuntu's R&D center are not the same size at all, the former is enough to accommodate dozens of the latter. Moreover, the land of Qingpu Lake is so vast, nearly one million square meters, which is comparable to the area of ​​Xinghai Group in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and it is enough to build a new headquarters park.

Coupled with the "No. 2 file" remark information, it is enough to show that Yuntu's research and development center has also been included in the Qingpu Lake plan. The dream lake that Yuntu employees have been thinking about has really become the lake of their own company.

With an enterprise park of nearly 4,000 acres, it is naturally impossible to have only one R&D base in Yuntu. Soon, the headquarters staff who were previously responsible for assisting Yuntu bidding also sent a message.

In addition to Yuntu, Xinghai Group's Tianshu Optoelectronics R&D Center, Yaoguang Semiconductor R&D and Design Headquarters, and Xinghai IoT Headquarters will all move into Xinghai Qingpuhu R&D Base, making it a top enterprise R&D park.

Everyone realized that Pei Yusheng not only bought a piece of land for Yuntu, but also bought a new headquarters for the entire Xinghai Group.

The news one after another really made people feel both happy and face pain. Inside Yuntu, no one mentioned the rumors about Pei Yusheng that were clamoring in the past, and there was only a sense of amazement.

Mr. Pei doesn't care about Yuntu. He clearly solved the big problem of Xinghai's next development.

The news of Qingpu Lake Park has been settled, but there are still some questions that have not been answered. Pei Yusheng still didn't show up, but this time, no one would think that he left AWOL, and they only guessed what problem he went out to solve.

When the president was away, Vice President Zhang was always stern and taciturn. In the end, the relevant questions were answered by Li Shi, the person in charge of the bidding team.

Li Shi's Q&A was not very formal, but he was caught speaking in the Yuntu work group, so he answered a few questions.

What employees are most concerned about is naturally the reason why Jiang Hai stepped in.

Zhang Shan G10: [Li Gong Li Gong, why is this land taken by Jiang Hai? ]

Li Shi G14: [Yuntu has insufficient funds and insufficient preparation time. ]

The answer is obvious, but everyone doesn't understand: [Then why didn't Xinghai come to shoot? The bidder for this land is Jianghai. Does Xinghai still have the right to use it? ]

Li Shi G14: [If Xinghai participates, if you want to bid for the land in S City, you must obtain the permit procedures for the location of the headquarters, and the approval process will also take time. ]

This involves licensing. The location of Xinghai's headquarters has always been sensitive, and even if Xinghai only wants to build a new large-scale park and has no intention of moving the headquarters, it will definitely encounter many difficulties when such a large-scale plan is submitted. It's too late to go up.

Li Shi G14: [Based on the limitations of Yuntu and Xinghai, Jianghai Investment Company participated in the bidding this time. ]

Li Shi G14: [After that, Jianghai will transfer the land use rights to Xinghai. The next investment and development is still a matter of Xinghai, as long as you follow the plan in the bidding plan. ]

The following exclamations are basically the same as the row of exclamations in the past: [So Jianghai has nothing to do with Xinghai? This time, President Pei used his own money to help Xinghai photograph this land? ]

Li Shi G14: [You can say that. ]

There is still a big difference between guessing on your own and being confirmed. After the person in charge answered, the work group was empty for a while and no new replies were posted.

I don't know how many dialog boxes were entered with long and short excitement and amazement, and finally disappeared into silence before they were sent out.

Does it make sense now?

Mr. Pei never said a word about the previous accusations. Does he really care about the belated exclamation and apology?

Before the language was organized in the input box, the person in charge had already sent the next one.

Li Shi G14: [Everyone's hard work for the bidding plan has not been in vain. In order to keep it confidential, I didn't have time to inform everyone that Jianghai's bidding plan was too much work, and part of the content adopted the plans prepared by these subsidiaries such as Yuntu, Tianshu, and Yaoguang. ]

Li Shi G14: [So, everyone is also the hero of this bid. ]

The person in charge was quite considerate, but the more he said it, the more mixed feelings became in the hearts of those who saw the news.

Yuntu was only in charge of a R&D center's plan, and he was already busy working overtime like this. How huge the workload of the entire bidding plan will be - this kind of thing, just thinking about it makes people terrified.

And although the cloud map scheme is very detailed, other parts may not be so detailed. But in fact, the overall plan is only more difficult than the individual parts. This is not a jigsaw puzzle. The integration and correlation between different parts must also be considered, and the overall plan must be grasped.

Yuntu employees felt that the new president was absent from work for too long and did not participate in the overall control of Yuntu, so they were dissatisfied. How could they have imagined that the new president had become a higher-level overall planner?

At this point, the doubts were finally completely resolved. All the hard work has a place to return, and only one minute is left uneasy-

What stuck in the hearts of everyone was still the scolding of the young CEO before.

The public opinion has completely flipped, and the person who is blamed the most is the last hero. For a while, it was difficult for everyone to accept the injuries they had done, and they began to reflect on the reasons for such blindness. Those employees who signed the official letter also regretted the original, and some of the people who took the lead in writing the official letter were even more uneasy, and they had been waiting for the headquarters to quickly reply to the news that they had withdrawn the open letter.

Although some people still wonder why Pei Yu stated that he is only the president of a subsidiary company, and he did not even enter the board of directors of Yuntu, but he used his own company to pay for the entire Xinghai Group, but in general, Pei Yusheng's internal evaluation of the company, The other extreme has been compared with the original.

In the midst of this vigorous hustle and bustle, Qi Ji ushered in the day when his internship expired.

Compared with his colleagues who have been paying attention to all kinds of news, these days, Qi Ji is actually the calmest one, so calm and even a little indifferent.

From the day Qi Ji returned to Yuntu, Pei Yusheng was on a business trip, and he didn't even have time to let Qi Ji talk about the rumors in the company. But fortunately, the misunderstanding was quickly contacted, and the matter of opening the letter did not cause much disturbance.

Qi sent a number of times.

Mr. President has been gone for nearly ten days.

These days, Qi Ji did not stay at the Rose Villa, but stayed at home.

Before Qi Mingyu's class vacated a dormitory place, the family's financial pressure was relieved a lot, so Qi Ji applied for his brother to live on campus. The third year of high school was already busy, and it was really inconvenient to run back and forth every day. Qi Mingyu was also safe when he lived on campus, which also gave Qi Ji a little peace of mind.

On the fourteenth day, Yuntu held a quarterly staff meeting. Although he is not yet a full-time employee, Qi Ji was selected as an excellent intern representative, and he can also attend the meeting as an exception.

Before the meeting, he also received a notice that he would need to take the stage to accept the commendation.

Although only half a semester has passed since the senior year, and there is still more than half a year left before graduation, Qi Ji has already received Yuntu's offer. His performance during the internship was enough for Yuntu to throw an olive branch, and the company also offered to let him sign a tripartite agreement first, and then adjust the relationship after graduation.

In the remaining half year of his senior year, Qi Ji can choose to finish his studies first, or he can choose to continue to work in Yuntu. This time, the job is no longer an internship, but starts to calculate the length of service directly.

These conditions can be regarded as quite advantageous.

Graduates majoring in software have never been worried about employment, but companies like Xinghai, which has been ranked as the “Top 10 Most Wanted Companies for College Graduates” for five consecutive years, are still relatively difficult to get offers. Moreover, Qi Ji got a formal, rather than verbal, offer directly half a year in advance, allowing the company to offer such favorable conditions and participate in the staff meeting as an excellent intern representative.

In this case, looking at the entire academy, it is also rare.

In this regard, Qi Ji himself was not too excited, and he hadn't even told the counselor the news. What he focused on was another matter.

Mr. President is coming back today.

Pei Yusheng said on the phone that the exact time of arrival is still uncertain. The weather there is not good, and it is not clear whether the plane will take off on time or not. It may be late, so Qi Ji will sleep first.

Through the microphone and the first-floor car window over there, Qi Ji could still hear the howling wind, but fortunately there was a man's familiar low voice, so it wouldn't make people feel cold.

It's a pity that Mr. President seems to be missing this staff meeting.

Yuntu has also been talking about when the president will come back. After such a big turning point, everyone wanted to see this young CEO with their own eyes.

When heard the news that the president had not returned from a business trip, colleagues were inevitably a little disappointed.

The staff meeting is held in the Yuntu Hall, which can accommodate 6,000 people, and all regular employees will attend. Qi Ji was supposed to sit with the design department, but because he was about to take the stage to receive the commendation, he was placed alone in the front row of the infield.

In fact, it was said that he came to power, and there were nearly 100 people who were commended, so it wouldn't bother Qi Ji too much. This kind of collective commendation is about going on stage together, getting a certificate and taking a photo together.

Being watched with the crowd, he wouldn't be too sensitive either.

Qi Ji came here with his colleagues from the design department, but each department has a fixed area. He was picked up and he could only sit in the front row alone.

The conference starts at six o'clock and lasts about three hours without intermission. Because of the long time, many people decided to go to the bathroom after confirming their seats, and Qi Ji also followed the flow of people and went out.

However, Qi sent it out a little late, and there were already long queues in the three washrooms in the synagogue. Qi Ji was not very familiar with the road, so he detoured to the farthest one. The queue here is still very long, and can't even see the end at first glance, so don't know how long it will take.

Qi Ji originally planned to queue patiently, but overheard the conversation between two colleagues in the front line.

"How long does it take to queue? Isn't there three large toilets in the auditorium, why are there so many people?"

"It's normal. You don't even think about how many people came today."

"That's too exaggerated... Oh, by the way, is there a small washroom on the left of Exit A of the auditorium? It's the one that not many people know about. We just went with the director to find out."

"Oh yes, there is one there. I just saw Wang Wang send a message saying that he just came out of there. There is no one there, and there is no need to line up. Why don't we go there?"

Another colleague was also a little moved, but after thinking about it, he still said: "But Exit A is a bit too far from our seat, it's still in the first floor. Are we not on the second floor? If we really have to go around, there is really no need to queue for the toilet. , but it's troublesome to go back to the seat, and I don't know if I can make it back."

"Yeah, so let's rank this."

The two discussed it, and they didn't leave in the end, but when Qi Ji heard it, it was a pleasant surprise.

His seat is in the front, right near Exit A, and he just walked around to find this restroom and it didn't take much time. Since there is no need to queue over there, he might as well go back to Exit A and go to the bathroom.

After weighing, Qi Ji left the long queue and walked back.

About half an hour before the start of the conference, Qi Zhi returned to Exit A and found that there was indeed no long queue nearby, but it was closer to the entrance to the backstage of the auditorium, and it was the entrance channel for the front row executives. Now Just as the high-level officials entered the venue one after another, there were also people coming and going here.

Qi Ji turned sideways to avoid the crowd, and after looking around for a few times, he found the rather hidden washroom.

Fortunately, no one was inside.

Although the location is a bit hidden, whether it's decoration or fragrance, this washroom looks much more advanced than a large toilet, but it's like a special place. When he first saw the delicate washroom sign, Qi Ji's first reaction was a little hesitant.

He was worried that he could not come in casually.

However, when the two talked just now, they didn't mention that they couldn't come and go, and there were people coming and going nearby, and no one came out to stop Qi Ji. Most of the people passing by were hurried in suits and leather shoes, and they had no time to pay attention to what was going on here.

Qi Ji walked in by himself.

The location of the washroom is slightly off, but the interior space is very spacious, and there are also separate compartments. The three compartments here are empty and unoccupied. The interior is very quiet, and even the footsteps outside can be clearly heard.

There were also some hurried conversations.

"...What about people...?"

Qi Ji pushed open a compartment door and went in. He was about to close the door with his backhand, but was suddenly blocked by a strong force.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a dark shadow behind him, and Qi Ji was startled.

someone?

With his hearing and skill, how could anyone approach without noticing it? Moreover, Qi Ji came to this washroom on a temporary basis, and the two compartments next to it were empty, why would someone come to snatch him...

Before he could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted by the blazing heat from behind.

The temperature was too hot and too familiar. As soon as he touched it, Qi Ji shivered uncontrollably. The back of his neck suddenly tightened, and an electric current-like numbness rushed up from his tailbone, instantly spreading all over his body.

"Pei..."

Before he could finish speaking, he disappeared into his tight embrace.

The low-magnetism male voice that could only be heard through the receiver for more than ten days finally fell into his ears at such a close distance.

"Pei what?" the man asked him in a low voice.

Qi Ji tilted her head unconsciously.

His ears were touched by the breath, and it was very hot.

He took a low breath, then controlled his voice as usual, and answered the question.

"Mr. Pei..."

In the workplace, Qi Ji should be called President Pei. But even if he doesn't understand the emotions of others, after spending so long with Pei Yusheng, he will not fail to hear the other's intentions.

Sure enough, after getting a satisfactory answer, a smile appeared in the man's voice.

"Very good, that's right."

The tight hug and the slightly weird question made Qi Ji feel a little embarrassed. He was about to turn around, but when he noticed the man was approaching again, he whispered in his ear.

"Shh."

The cubicle has been locked, but the sound from the corridor outside the washroom can still be heard clearly.

"Hey, what about Mr. Pei?"

"Isn't it still here just now? Why did it disappear in a blink of an eye..."

Qi Ji naturally heard the conversation.

But at this moment, he has no time to be distracted, so he can only bite his lower lip and try his best to suppress his voice.

The sound that Pei Yusheng whispered in his ear just now landed on the base of Qi Ji's head and the side of his neck exposed. The man's always hot breath hit the tender and sensitive area, which had the worst reaction.

Pei Yusheng wanted him to keep quiet, but Qi Ji's ears went numb because of the agitation, and he almost didn't cry out.

"Ugh..."
