Chapter 902 Problems Within the Company
The two clinked glasses, Shi Lei drank it all in one gulp, called the waiter, and each of them ordered another glass.
Looking at Zhao Di, Shi Lei said with a smile: "In this case, I really want to go to their home. Maybe, if we have a good chat with the mayor, I can observe their collection."
"Master Shi is very knowledgeable about antiques?"
Shi Lei shook his head and said: "I can't talk about research, and I can't use a comprehensive and broad term like antique. I just like calligraphy and painting works. But I heard that they also have calligraphy and painting from our country, and they are all It is also very rare in China and is on the verge of being lost or has been lost.”
Zhao Di didn't quite understand this, and it was difficult to understand Shi Lei's interest.
"I don't know much about this. I don't have any hobbies. I only drink tea for ten yuan a pound. I drink coffee because I always stay up late. But the quality of these cigarettes is getting higher and higher. As for the art of calligraphy and painting, I don’t even know anything about music. If you hadn’t retained our team, Mr. Shi, I would still be eating glutinous rice. I don’t even understand why I can sell such expensive brand-name clothes. Can’t afford it.”
Shi Lei laughed and said: "It won't be a problem if you eat bran swallowing vegetables. Your team is an elite no matter where it goes. I'm also worried that the treatment given to you is low."
Zhao Di said sincerely: "Young Master Shi, please don't say that. I admit that it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that eating bran throat vegetables, but I know the strength of our team, mainly because the equipment is not complete enough. Even in Qixuan , you assigned another team at the beginning, which made up for the shortcomings of our team. To be honest, everyone in our team is very grateful to you. When we held a closed-door meeting not long ago, everyone was still saying, I really shouldn't have talked about shares with you, Mr. Shi. Compared with the original Qixuan, after you took over, even if you gave us one point of shares, it would be much better than ten points or more. I know that you gave us shares but did not give shares to the subsequent teams, which made them have some opinions about us and even the company. Mr. Shi, I have always felt guilty about this. Everyone said that we owe you. An apology…”
Seeing that Zhao Di was trying to stand up, Shi Lei quickly stopped him.
"No, no, no, no, no, in public, don't do that to me. I don't need to apologize. If you really have some gratitude in your heart, then work hard and help me make Qixuan bigger and stronger. I will also I have to rely on you.”
"Young Master Shi..." Zhao Di didn't dare to really stand up. He added: "You gave us what we have now. Don't worry, I will stick to my post when Qixuan is here. The technical stocks you gave me , Unless you cash out and leave, I will never take action.”
Shi Lei nodded and said with a smile: "To be honest, I don't recommend that you take action. Of course, it's too early to talk about taking action now. Even if it is listed on the market, I don't recommend that you take action. I'm going to make a big statement here today, Qi I dare not say that Xuan’s value will be at least 100 billion US dollars in the future compared to Ali Penguin. By then, it will be no problem to retire directly.”
Zhao Di nodded repeatedly and said: "We also believe that our Qixuan will definitely replace Du Niang and become one of the three domestic Internet giants in the future."
Shi Lei laughed heartily and said: "Haha, okay, then I'll lend you some good words."
After the two had a drink, Shi Lei asked again: "Why, does the team that joined the company have any objections?"
Zhao Di seemed a little embarrassed, but after hesitating for a while, he still said: "Originally, I shouldn't speak ill of my colleagues behind their backs, but since I am the head of the technical department, I also have the responsibility to explain the situation to Mr. Shi. That team, The salary is higher than ours, but there are no shares. In the beginning, they were quite domineering, and they always felt that they were actually the core. It was just that we were responsible for different technical directions, so there was no conflict. But you asked me to be responsible for the whole thing. After the technical department, the team already had some opinions, especially when our company's B round raised more than 200 million and the valuation exceeded 2 billion, they began to be unbalanced, based on the B round estimate. The value of our shares is close to 100 million, and the venture capital circle is now extremely optimistic about us. They say that the C round will start at least 10 billion, so our shares will be even more..."
Shi Lei smiled and nodded, and said, "Have you told Titan...oh, Mr. Shi Qiang about this?"
Zhao Di shook his head and said: "No, I'm embarrassed to say it. I have been gossiped about. They said that my team was incompetent and technical, but it took advantage of everything. I want to fight again. I'm afraid their small report will affect the company..."
Shi Lei shook his head and said seriously: "What's the impact? The company can't move without anyone? If they leave today, I can find a better team to take over tomorrow. Zhao Di, Zhao Di, as a Department head, as one of the veterans of the company, you can't control your subordinates well, so you dare not report to your superiors? You disappoint me so much! You protect your shortcomings, you are honest, and you are willing to consider others when doing things. This is me. The reason for letting you be in charge of the technical department. Moreover, before the company received investment, you had already worked overtime to come up with the initial technical solutions for Qixuan Bicycle. This is enough for you to exchange for your shares. Are you suffering from pink eye? When I first joined the company, the salary they asked for included settling-in expenses and so on. How could I be sorry for them? No matter where they go, they will never have a better development."
As he spoke, Shi Lei got really angry. He took out his cell phone and called Shi Qiang.
"Brother Shi Qiang, I'm Shi Lei!"
"Master Shi, are you calling me so early?" Since joining Qixuan, Shi Qiang has changed his title, and like others, he calls Shi Lei "Master Shi".
Shi Lei was stunned and looked at the time on his phone. It was 9:40 pm...
It should be 5:40 in the morning in China now...
Uh...it seems a little early.
"I'm not in the country, and I was negligent for a moment. Are you awake?" Shi Lei spoke very quickly, obviously having emotional problems.
Shi Qiang was shocked. Shi Lei rarely spoke to him in such a tone. If so, there must be something wrong.
Shi Qiang hurriedly rubbed his face and said, "Master Shi, if you need anything, please tell me. I'm awake."
"How did you become the boss?" Shi Lei started his sentence.
Of course Shi Qiang is not the boss, Shi Lei and Dong Chiqing are, but Shi Qiang also has shares, and he is also one of the shareholders.
Although Shi Lei still holds the title of CEO of Qixuan and Shi Qiang is just the general manager, Shi Lei is hardly involved in the company's operations. Shi Qiang, the general manager, is the current leader of Qixuan.
Of course, in order to prevent some problems, Shi Qiang, the general manager, also has Xu Zhida next to him. Xu Zhida is the assistant to the chairman, one level lower than the general manager, but the power given to him by Shi Lei and Yao Er includes supervising the general manager.
But in any case, Shi Qiang is the top leader of the company's operations and internal management. In addition to the problems below the company, he must figure it out and has the responsibility to figure it out. He must take full responsibility for it.
Shi Qiang knew that the matter must be serious, so he hurriedly asked: "Master Shi, what's going on?"
"What's wrong! The morale of the army is about to weaken. You ask me what's wrong! Okay, I won't tell you, let Zhao Di tell you!" Shi Lei was very anxious when he saw Zhao Di opposite him. He opened his mouth several times but stopped talking. , he also knew that it was not good for him to criticize Shi Qiang from top to bottom, so he handed the phone to Zhao Di.
