Cheng Ergongzi

As soon as I arrived at the company in the morning, I felt that the atmosphere was unusual.

The news of the acquisition of Cheng's assets has spread like wildfire, causing panic among all departments.

Shi Fan was in his private office, surrounded by high-level executives from various departments.

I sneered, who is the first successor of the Cheng family.

Shi Fan glanced at me, immediately pushed away the crowd, stepped over, "Manager Cheng."

I said calmly, "General Manager Shi."

He said, "Follow me to the finance department." Without any explanation, he stepped forward and grabbed my wrist.

I gave up struggling and let him drag me towards the financial office.

Xiao Wenyu was watching the company's stock price fluctuations in front of the computer, Shi Fan and I entered and closed the door of the private office.

"How's it going?"

"A very obvious hostile takeover, not only for stocks, but also for part of Cheng's assets."

"Which company is behind the manipulation?"

"Several competitor companies have been targeted and are being investigated one by one."

Shi Fan nodded, "As soon as possible."

He turned his head and looked at me again, "Little Jane, don't be anxious."

I have no expression.

You misunderstood, I am not anxious, my heart is like still water.

Xiao Wenyu got up from the desk, stuffed a stack of materials into the briefcase, and took the suit jacket from the back of the chair, "I have to go out, at least a few hours, don't wait for me."

I stared intently at the back of his leaving, and then turned my gaze back, "How is the investigation in Southeast Asia going?"

Shi Fan sat down on the sofa and said slowly: "The preliminary test results show that the electronic components are corroded."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows, "Isn't it confirmed that there is no problem with the manufacturing process."

He looked over, his eyes burning, "Indeed. So now it is suspected that the local soil and water quality has been polluted, and samples have been taken and sent to the laboratory for analysis, and the report will come out today."

I stretched out my palm and clapped it twice, and said with a smile, "As expected of General Manager Shi."

He squinted his eyes, leaned on the sofa, and said slowly: "According to the feedback from the people below, it seems that Manager Cheng has been dishonest during my absence."

"There is such a thing", I was dumbfounded, "This is a great injustice. It must be that Cheng has made mistakes in his words and deeds on weekdays, and the people below hold grudges. Please, General Manager Shi, don't listen to the slander of the courtiers."

Shi Fan glanced at the stock price trend on the computer screen out of the corner of his eye, and pointed his eyes over, quite meaningfully: "Little Jane, you don't seem to be in a hurry."

I smiled: "Why worry, Cheng's internal shareholding exceeds 50.00%."

Shi Fan also smiled, "That statement is true."

There was a knock on the office door, and someone outside said, "General Manager Shi, I have your fax."

Shi Fan opened the door and took a stack of materials from the man.

I said: "What is this?"

He opened the document and looked at it carefully, page after page was filled with dense numerical values, and said after a while: "The test results sent by the laboratory."

I was quite interested, "Let's hear it."

"The pH of the local soil is abnormal, and the water source also shows that it is polluted."

I said: "So the acidic substance has caused corrosion to the electronic components."

Shi Fan nodded slightly, "There are many chemical plants around Cheng's factories in Southeast Asia, and the sulfur content in the air seriously exceeds the standard. The local rainy season has a lot of precipitation, high humidity, and continuous high temperature, so acid can erode electronic components for a long time."

I said: "No wonder the product passed the test successfully in China, but there were problems in the production process."

He pondered: "This site is not suitable for precision manufacturing. The Cheng family made a major mistake in selecting the site."

I shrugged my shoulders and said helplessly, "My brother left the Cheng family a long time ago, and now I can't hold him accountable."

Shi Fan looked at me with a strange expression, and nodded for a while.

No one spoke for a while, and the office was completely silent.

The landline on the table rang suddenly, as if a thunderbolt split the dull atmosphere.Shi Fan stood up silently, went to the table and pressed the call button.

The other end said: "Director Xiao."

Shi Fan said: "Wenyu has gone out, tell me what's the matter."

The other end said: "General Manager Shi, we have found out who is buying Cheng's stock."

I immediately stepped forward, "Who is it?"

The other end responded: "Wade Industry."

Shi Fan and I looked at each other at the same time.

The other end of the phone hung up, leaving only a lonely busy tone.

Shi Fan sat down at the table, and said after a long time: "I'm not surprised, Wen Yu should have a premonition, but he didn't say it."

I said: "Wade has strong financial strength. Once the acquisition starts, it will not stop easily."

He pondered: "I'm just curious why Vader chose to attack at this time."

I slowly said: "Although the Cheng family and Vader are in a competitive relationship, they have lived together for decades, and each has their own camp. This year, Vader's frequent changes are indeed suspicious."

Shi Fan glanced at me with deep meaning, "Wade is advancing steadily and steadily, and his timing is even more ingenious. I don't know how to obtain information."

Without raising my eyelids, I lazily said: "You also know that Cheng's has an inner ghost, so it's naturally the insiders who secretly passed on the information."

He pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you have any guesses?"

I shrugged slightly, "Cheng has only been employed for a few years, and his qualifications are still relatively inexperienced. The Cheng family has a large and leafy tree with intricate roots, many veterans, officials and officials who protect each other, and swords and halberds. How can we have a clue."

Shi Fan didn't say a word, he suddenly approached me after a long while, and covered mine with a big palm.

I was startled, trying to break free reflexively, but the strength I felt in my hands gradually increased, and I couldn't help but say, "Shi Fan."

He chuckled, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, "I have a guess."

I intended to pull my hand out of his palm, and silently tried hard, but I couldn't break free, so I had to meet that gaze: "I would like to hear more about it."

Shi Fan's eyes were like water, and he spoke softly: "Three years ago, there was a document submitted to Cheng's management, stating that there were safety hazards in Cheng's factories in Southeast Asia, which might affect production and employee health. Relocation after assessment.

"At that time, the employee who raised this concern was a young engineer, under 30 years old, and had not yet married, so he was dispatched to Southeast Asia. Of course, such young and capable engineers are always poached by major companies. In addition, he Having overseas experience, he was soon hired by another company. There are not a few employees who are poached and leave Cheng every year. As long as they meet the resignation process and have no research and development tasks, the personnel department will not stop them.

"Until the eve of his official departure, there was no response to the safety assessment report he submitted. Out of concern and professional ethics, the engineer sent the same file to Cheng's laboratory and R&D center.

"I also investigated the defective products this time, only to find that there was such a report a few years ago. Cheng's production management is extremely strict, and logically speaking, this report should not be ignored. Especially not only sent to the management, but also to the The R&D center, these two institutions are independent of each other, if it is not artificially suppressed, there is really no reason to do nothing for several years."

I listened quietly to his narration, and said in a deep voice: "So, someone deliberately concealed the hidden dangers of the factory site selection, and allowed the acid gas to corrode the precision equipment."

Shi Fan nodded, and suddenly changed the topic, "Where do you think that young engineer is now?"

I stared at him for a moment, with a cold expression on my face, "Cheng's treatment of engineers is extremely good, and it is already a first-class level in the industry. If they can be poached under such circumstances, the other party must be a top company in the industry, with strong strength, spanning multiple fields, and Research and develop and produce products similar to Cheng's."

He smiled lightly, and gradually tightened his palms, "Little Jane, you are so smart."

I lowered my eyes to see the reddened wrist, and there was no wave or ripple on my face, "This company is the same company that is now buying Cheng's shares on a large scale."

Shi Fan smiled and said for a while, "I thought it was just a coincidence at first, until I asked a manager who had an impression of this report."

"Oh?" I became interested when I heard the words, "What valuable information can the other party provide."

He said slowly: "It happened to be the time when your brother left the Cheng family and Mr. Cheng announced the new heir. Soon after that, Mr. Cheng had to lay down all his duties due to physical reasons and went abroad to recuperate. The management had to send this safety report Submit it to the new heir who hastily entered the position, and he will have the sole discretion."

"Little Jane," Shi Fan stared at him with a smile on his lips, "Who do you think that person is?"
