Chapter 988 A Heated Meeting
Yu Banzhi laughed loudly and said no more, just quietly brewing tea.
Obviously, Shi Lei's analysis made sense. Yu Banzhi could not find any part that he had not thought about thoroughly. Since that was the case, Yu Banzhi did not need to give any more advice, just let Shi Lei do it himself.
Yu Banzhi was never the kind of person who would force others to agree with him. As an investor, he was facing Shi Lei, so he paid more attention to propriety.
It was much more effective to stop at the right time and let Shi Lei think and grow on his own than to pave the way for Shi Lei completely.
His leading role had already been achieved, and the rest was for Shi Lei to move forward on his own.
"Brother Yu, I have to go to the company. It's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Yu Banzhi nodded and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's go after we finish our tea."
Shi Lei also nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, and tasted the tea brewed by Yu Banzhi.
When he arrived at the company, Shi Qiang was in a meeting. When the receptionist saw Shi Lei, she immediately stood up nervously and said that she would go to inform Mr. Shi.
Shi Lei waved his hand and said with a smile: "What is Mr. Shi doing?"
"Mr. Shi is in a meeting now, but Mr. Shi said that if there is something important, you can go in and interrupt him."
Shi Lei waved his hand again and said: "Since it is a meeting, don't interrupt him. I will go in and see for myself."
The receptionist was a little embarrassed, but Shi Lei had already walked into the company. Many employees saw Shi Lei and stood up one after another, but Shi Lei made a gesture to silence them, indicating that they should continue to work and not care about him.
Looking at these employees who are actually almost all older than him, Shi Lei once again felt that something was not real enough. Originally, he should have been one of them, starting from an ordinary employee steadily.
But now, he has passed various stages that countless people cannot pass in their lifetime, and directly stood at the end of these people.
"Brother Shi..."
With a light call, Shi Lei came back to his senses and turned around to see that it was his schoolmate Chen Yang.
Shi Lei smiled at him and said, "Where is Mr. Shi having the meeting?"
Although Chen Yang called him Brother Shitou instead of Young Master Shi like others, he no longer felt as relaxed as before when he saw Shi Lei again.
At that time, no matter how rich and powerful Shi Lei was, he was still just Chen Yang's schoolmate. But now it's different. They have been divided into classes. Shi Lei is Chen Yang's boss, and the biggest boss.
"I'll take you there."
Shi Lei waved his hand and said, "Do your thing. Tell me where it is and I'll go there myself."
Chen Yang had no choice but to tell Shi Lei which meeting room Shi Qiang was having the meeting in.
Shi Lei took two steps, thought about it, and turned back to whisper to Chen Yang, "If you have a chance to see me in the company again, call me Young Master Shi. Chen Yang, you are very smart, but you have to use your intelligence in the right place."
Chen Yang was stunned, and Shi Lei didn't stay for long, and walked straight to the meeting room.
And Chen Yang looked at Shi Lei's back, but his face was slightly ugly.
He just called Shi Lei and called him Brother Shitou. In fact, he meant to tell his colleagues that he, Chen Yang, and Shi Lei, Shi Shao, their big boss, were friends in private. This would undoubtedly be noticed by his superiors, and they might take care of him in the future.
Shi Lei's words were a warning to him, clearly indicating that he had seen through Chen Yang's intentions.
It's not that he was dissatisfied, but Shi Lei didn't like this approach. This kind of cleverness is actually everywhere and exists in any company. But Shi Lei still hopes that there will be as few of these situations as possible in his company.
In the conference room, Shi Qiang and a few others were studying something.
From the gap between people, Shi Lei saw that there was a touch screen display hanging on the wall, which was almost the size of a small blackboard.
Shi Qiang was very attentive and didn't notice Shi Lei, but someone else in the conference room noticed that Shi Lei came in.
Just as he was about to speak, Shi Lei waved his hand at him, indicating not to interrupt Shi Qiang.
Shi Lei heard Shi Qiang saying, "This is the current situation. In Wudong alone, there are more than seven city bikes in operation, and there are more than ten in the capital and the magic city. Don't try to convince me that investors will not easily raise our valuation under such competition. What I need you to do now is to create a case that will greatly enhance the Qixuan brand before our funds run out. Let the investors be hesitant. As long as we have greater benefits, the market will inevitably raise our valuation. We really don't have much money on our books now. , but are we really that short of money? Don't forget, we still have 100,000 chips in our warehouse that have not been installed on the bikes. Lao Wang, are those factories okay? If not, contact other factories immediately. No matter what, I have to install all these 100,000 chips on the bikes within half a month..."
"But Mr. Shi, our factory has not settled the payment from the previous period. The factory has urged them to pay several times, saying that if they are not settled, they really have no funds to advance. Now it's not that they have insufficient production capacity, but that they don't have enough funds. So, I still think that we should raise funds first."
Shi Qiang was very angry. He said, "What is the payment agreement in our contract? Three months! Three months payment cycle. Let them contact other companies. Who can pay in three months? Are you crying poor to me? When we signed the contract, everyone was so excited! Want to pay in advance? No way!"
The man didn't dare to say more, but the other man sighed and said, "Boss Shi, let's not talk about the payment of the bicycles. We will follow up on this and let them follow the contract. However, the funds in our account now are all deposits of bicycle deposits. The three-day deposit funds are almost used up. Now we can All the funds used were seven-day deposits. Is it too radical for us to continue to expand so frantically? If something goes wrong, we can't afford it. Outside, those competitors have already spread the word that we are completely using customers' deposits..."
"Nonsense! If these deposits are not used, will they grow maggots in the account? Which company came up with such a despicable method to attack us? I will call Alipay and ask them whether the company's deposited funds have been used to expand the scale!"
Somewhat excited, Shi Qiang half turned around and glanced at Shi Lei from the corner of his eye.
Since Shi Qiang had seen him, Shi Lei also saw that the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit tense. He smiled and said, "This meeting is very lively! Let's calm down and sit down first. I came here today to discuss something with you."
Shi Qiang frowned, looked at Shi Lei with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Mr. Shi, you handed the company to me, so please don't interfere with my work. If you have anything, can you wait until we finish the meeting to talk about it?"
Everyone was stunned. After being in the company for so long, everyone had heard that Shi Qiang insisted on his own opinion and would never give in even when facing Shi Lei or Dong Chiqing. However, no one could have imagined that Shi Qiang would confront Shi Lei with such a tough attitude.
No matter what, Shi Lei is still the big boss.
Shi Lei was not angry either, and said, "I won't interfere with you. The meeting is also important, but it is also important to listen to opinions related to the topic you are deadlocked on. Mr. Shi, please sit down first."
