rebirth of cataclysm

Guo Mingli is a very ambitious and capable person. Unlike other CEOs of large companies, Guo Mingli did not go to college. He only attended a vocational college for three years before stepping into social work.

Because he was willing to work hard and use his brain when doing things, he quickly achieved good results at work. At a young age, he became a section chief, assistant manager, and later a manager.

Over the past few decades, Guo Mingli has been immersed in the electronics industry. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the Four Asian Tigers took off, he achieved great growth. Not only did he accumulate rich industry experience, but he also started his own business and established

Vanity Company.

The company had only a few people at the beginning, but Guo Mingli was good at business and management. Soon the company expanded rapidly. Especially after he moved the company's focus from across the Taiwan Strait, its growth rate was even faster.

Astonishingly, in just a dozen years, he has surpassed all the big guys before him, making Vanity Company one of the best in the industry.

At present, the main business of Vanity Company is OEM, covering almost everything from computer products to mobile phone products.

Of course, the company's ability to develop to such a scale has a lot to do with the entry of strong foreign capital. Without strong financial support, Guo Mingli would not have been able to establish such a huge production capacity all at once. After the company went public, the stock price

He will not keep rising, making Guo Mingli one of the famous rich people in the Chinese circle.

The addition of David Group and Mayer not only provided funds, but also opened up overseas markets for Vanity, especially the North American market.

As the saying goes, success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He.

Over the years, while receiving support, Vanity Company has returned generous profits to David Group and Mayer Company. But now, Guo Mingli has to hand over the company he worked so hard to create because of the backing of the financial backers.

Give way.

Guo Mingli was so unwilling that he wanted to resist, but today, when capital is king, it was useless for Guo Mingli to resist. Not to mention that the combined shares of the two companies had already achieved more than half.

Even those small and medium-sized investors are probably far more likely to follow the two giants than him.

If he wants to keep the company, unless Guo Mingli can reverse the situation in a short time. Those capitalists value profits. If he can solve the problems in a short time and raise the company's stock price and business again, then for the sake of profit,

Only then will the two companies let him go. Otherwise, he will have no choice but to end his life.

However, it was not easy to reverse such an unfavorable situation in a short period of time. Guo Mingli racked his brains and could not think of a feasible solution.

Not only have we lost Apple as a major customer, we have to pay huge compensation. What’s even more troublesome is that endless lawsuits are coming one after another, making people overwhelmed. Every lawsuit means a huge economic loss.

.

If we look at the monetary losses, we can still barely bear them now. With the current scale of Vanity Company, a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars would not be a big deal.

The key is that these lawsuits have been accompanied by various types of negative news, and the image of Vanity and Fortune has been greatly damaged. What's more, the stock market has been cut by more than half, and all types of investors have withdrawn, which will make Vanity and Fortune in disguise.

The company's capital chain is broken.

Guo Mingli lit a cigar and looked through the window at the large modern factory area. Outside the window, various young people wearing light blue work clothes were walking vigorously into each workshop.

Guo Mingli knows that once he leaves, thousands of these young people will be unemployed. It is even unknown whether they will get the salary they deserve on time next month.

In recent years, vanity companies have been given a bad name in the public, called sweatshops. The wages they pay workers are not high. If workers want to get higher wages, they can only get them through overtime work. In this company

, ten or twelve hours of work a day abound, even if there is an urgent order

At that time, it was not strange to work fourteen hours. But there was no way. The profits of the OEM industry were not high to begin with. Ninety percent of the profits were taken away by the brands, leaving only ten percent for the vanity companies.

, or even 5%. Under such circumstances, how can we obtain profits without squeezing workers?

In fact, Guo Mingli has always wanted to reverse this development model in his heart. He knows that relying on squeezing workers' surplus value will not go far. Because of this, Guo Mingli established a technology research and development department in the company and wants to develop his own

brand products.

It was precisely because of this consideration that when he discovered that smartphones had great market prospects, Guo Mingli made a desperate move and even resorted to ruthless means to steal technology.

Little did he know that it was this gamble that seemed to have a bright future, but in turn put the company into danger and made himself disgraced.

Guo Mingli complained to himself, if it happened again, would he still gamble?

Looking out the window and pondering for a long time, he also smoked half of a cigar. He came to an interesting conclusion. If he had to do it over again, he would still take the gamble. However, he would do more in technology research and development.

The only difference is that more investment is required to master the core technology in a short time.

Just when Guo Mingli was melancholy and thinking wildly, the phone on his desk rang. Guo Mingli took a look and saw that the gray phone was ringing, and his expression suddenly became more gloomy.

This gray phone is connected to the office outside. When this phone rings, it means that his assistant or secretary is calling him.

Guo Mingli deliberately refused to answer, but the phone kept ringing, which made him very angry.

He turned the boss's chair and answered the phone unhappily: "Didn't I just say that? If you block something, don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you think I'm leaving and ignore my words?"

After picking up the phone, Guo Mingli gave him a scolding before he could say a word.

"Mr. Guo, I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb you at this time...but..." The female assistant who just came in to report to Guo Mingli about the two lawsuits in Italy was timid.

He hesitated.

Normally, a capable female assistant would not behave like this, but knowing that Guo Mingli was in a bad mood and being scolded by him indiscriminately, the female assistant became a little flustered.

"Stop it, just say what you have to say, and fart if you have any. If you can't explain why, just pack your things and don't come to work tomorrow." Hearing the female assistant's slurred words, Guo Mingli became even more impatient.

, shouted with a raised voice.

"Mr. Guo, it's Mr. Chen from Pengbo Electronics Group who called, saying that he has something to discuss with you... I don't dare to be arbitrary, so I asked you for instructions on how to respond." Female Assistant

Feeling aggrieved, he hurriedly explained the reason for calling Guo Mingli.

"Pengbo Electronics Group? Chen Xuesheng called me to talk about something?" Chen Xuesheng asked himself a few questions doubtfully, and then sneered twice: "Haha, what can they have to talk about with me? They are either looking at my jokes or

If they are causing trouble for me... just tell them that I don't have time to deal with them, and I will use whatever means I can to do whatever they want."

Guo Mingli is not an idiot. He already knows that the reason why millions of smartphones sold suddenly have problems that affect normal use is because Pengbo Electronics Group is up to something. Therefore, the original technology was

Obtained from them.

Therefore, when he heard that Chen Xuesheng had called, Guo Mingli's immediate reaction was that something must be wrong.

After Guo Mingli gave the instructions with a sneer, he hung up the phone with a bang without giving the female assistant a chance to speak again.

Hearing the beeping busy tone, the female assistant held the phone in her hand and looked at it blankly for two seconds, then put down the phone indifferently, and then followed Guo Mingli's words and called Chen Xuesheng back.

"Humph, you are a villain. When my Vanity Company became a big group, you Chen Xuesheng was still renting a shabby factory building and taking small orders. Now that you have some achievements, you feel great. If you want to ridicule me, I will not give you this opportunity at all."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Mingli frowned and muttered to himself with a sullen face.

Seeing that the cigar in his hand was almost burning, Guo Mingli cut another cigar and lit it. Just as he took a deep breath, the annoying phone rang again.

Guo Mingli needs some anesthesia now, but it's a pity that he doesn't like alcohol, otherwise, he would probably get himself drunk. Since he doesn't drink, Guo Mingli hopes that the tobacco smell of the cigar can make him feel more comfortable.

Just after taking a sip, the phone rang again. Guo Mingli frowned deeply, almost getting angry.

"Are you out of your mind? You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Do you think my words are nonsense?" This time, Guo Mingli didn't wait for the phone to ring a few more times. He reached out and picked up the phone. When he picked up the phone, he got angry.

"Mr. Guo...I...it was Mr. Chen who said he had a way to help you get through this difficult time, so I called you. You..." The female assistant felt aggrieved.

I almost cried.

"Wait, what did you say? He said he could help me get through this difficult time? Is that really what he said?" Guo Mingli interrupted the female assistant's words rudely. As for the female assistant's grievances, Guo Mingli automatically ignored them.

.

What Guo Mingli is most concerned about now is how to turn the situation around and tide over the difficulties. The rest is unlikely to be his focus.

"Yes, I responded to him as you instructed, and that's what he told me... and he also said..."

"What else are you talking about? Hurry up and say it. Why are you hesitating at this critical moment?" Guo Mingli said eagerly.

Guo Mingli didn't even think about it. If he hadn't gotten angry casually, how could the female assistant be like this?

"He said that if you refuse, you will regret it." The female assistant hurriedly replied.
