Rebirth of a powerful marriage

Chapter 39: Burning to [-] degrees successfully in one go.

After Tang Ke left, everyone went to do their own things again, completely treating Xu Zitai as air.

Xu Zitai's eyes swept over these former subordinates one by one. The original atmosphere of mutual trust and harmonious cooperation is long gone. Now they are fighting on their own, with only despair and indifference left on their faces.

Xu Zitai had no choice but to smile bitterly. More than half of these people were recruited by him through personal interviews. How could he not understand their aloof and arrogant temper.

When he recruited these people back then, he swore to promise them a bright future, but now, he died unexpectedly, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the technical team was facing reorganization... Bad luck followed one after another. People were originally elites in the industry and the pride of heaven, but they fell into a situation where they were cast aside and ridiculed. This kind of helplessness, Xu Zitai felt the same.

He finally fixed his eyes on the team leader Zhou Lin, and walked towards him slowly.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhou Lin paused slightly, but he didn't raise his head, and continued his work as if no one else was there, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to the airborne technical consultant.

Xu Zitai didn't take the initiative to say hello, but stood silently behind him, looking at the design drawings on the optical computer in front of him.

A few seconds later, Xu Zitai pointed to one of the wedge-shaped areas and said in a low voice: "This design is more suitable for the newly developed ZMB-19, but this is ZMB-17, although the structural proportions have been adjusted accordingly. , the function can indeed be improved to a certain extent, but the heavy load will increase its energy consumption, resulting in lower cost performance in the market, and such an upgraded version is even more difficult to sell than the original version. Do you think about it again? "

Zhou Lin was startled, and quickly raised his head to look at Xu Zitai with a complicated look on his face.

ZMB is the model of civilian cargo spaceship. Both "Apex Tour" and "Migration Alliance" only produce civilian manned spaceship ZMA, and will not produce ZMB, so Zhou Lin's design drawing was not drawn for the company.

Anyone with a little brain would have guessed that the reason why Zhou Lin designed the ZMB blueprints was probably because he already had the intention of changing jobs. Perhaps his new employer was a manufacturer specializing in the production of civilian cargo spaceships.

However, such things as job hopping are always done in secret, otherwise it will cause some embarrassment if someone exposes it.Judging from Zhou Lin's unwilling expression, he did it secretly without telling other colleagues. Although Xu Zitai explained the mystery in one word, he kept his voice very low. Except for Zhou Lin, there was almost no third person. hear.

Zhou Lin looked around for a while, and after making sure that no one was alarmed, he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The guard in the tone was very obvious, even with a hint of hostility, although Xu Zitai's face was very peaceful, and he didn't mean to use it as a threat at all.

Xu Zitai spread his hands with a smile, and said in a slightly innocent tone: "I just made a suggestion casually. If you think it's unreasonable, then just pretend I didn't say it. I'm sorry, I offended you."

It was only then that Zhou Lin realized that his reaction was a bit exaggerated, so he softened the expression on his face and asked in a low voice, "Do you also understand ZMB's design?"

"Know a thing or two," Xu Zitai smiled very modestly, "I major in ZMA."

He answered modestly, but Zhou Lin would not easily believe that this is his truth, otherwise he would not be able to see the disadvantages of this design at a glance; especially when he mentioned factors other than the design concept, such as function and cost performance The balance problem between them shows that the other party is not only accomplished in design, but also well versed in sales.

What's even more commendable is that when the other party pointed out the problems in Zhou Lin's design, his tone was very gentle and humble, even with a tone of discussion, so that Zhou Lin, an old designer who was over sixty years old, would not be embarrassed in front of the juniors. sweep the floor.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lin's impression of Xu Zitai got better, so he pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Stop standing, sit down."

Chen Qian, a young man not far away, noticed that the airborne consultant was already chatting with the team leader. Out of curiosity, he pricked up his ears and began to listen attentively to what they said.

Zhou Lin asked, "I heard that you are a technical consultant hired by Mr. Lu from Planet V with a high salary?"

"I don't dare to be a consultant." Xu Zitai said, "It's just that when Mr. Lu went to planet V last time, he chatted casually when we met. Mr. Lu learned that I intend to come to planet Z to develop, so he gave me a chance. He considered Considering that what I am good at is fine design, I am afraid that it is not suitable to enter the technology group A, so let me enter the B group."

Zhou Lin smiled wryly: "There is actually no difference between entering Group A and entering Group B. Anyway, after a while, all of us in Group B will be merged into Group A."

The volume of his words was not low. After hearing this, several designers stopped their work one after another and looked over to them.

I only heard Xu Zitai say: "I heard Mr. Lu's meaning, it seems that he originally wanted to keep Group B, but there is still not enough data to convince the shareholders' meeting, so the merger is only a stopgap measure."

His words immediately caused a slight change on Zhou Lin's face, but before he could open his mouth in the future, Chen Qian who was on the side couldn't wait to ask: "You mean, in fact, Lu always wants to keep us? "

Zhou Lin felt that his question was too spineless, so he forced him back with a wink.After deliberating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Consultant Yu, what do you mean by the 'data' that persuaded the shareholders' meeting?"

"This...actually, I don't know the details," Xu Zitai evaded deliberately ambiguously. He knew that he hadn't fully gained the trust of these people. I know that shareholders only look at profits, if the cost is too high and the profit is too low, it is impossible for shareholders to pay expensive costs for nothing. I think Mr. Lu should have said this.”

Chen Qian was puzzled and asked, "What the hell does this mean? What kind of expensive cost?"

However, Zhou Lin already understood, and sighed deeply: "The so-called cost is the salary to support us. At the beginning, we were all hired by Mr. Xu with a lot of money. Now that 'Dingfeng Travel' has been merged, if we still Holding the same salary as before, but unable to bring benefits to the company, the company naturally has no obligation to feed us so many mouths for nothing."

Chen Qian still didn't understand: "Then let's work hard to design something that satisfies the company. How can we support us for nothing?"

"The point is, the new owner doesn't need anything we designed." Zhou Lin said, briefly explaining the difference between "Peak Tour" and "Migrants Alliance".

Among them, some already knew the reason roughly, and were even mentally prepared to deal with it, so the expressions on their faces were very indifferent; while others, like Chen Qian, who had a simple mind, after listening to Zhou Lin's explanation, Suddenly realized, he also started to panic and asked: "Then what should we do? Are we really going to change our profession to design low-end products?"

Xu Zitai looked around at the reactions of the crowd and said, "Actually, I have an immature design concept here that requires everyone to work together to complete it. If this design can be successfully put into the market, it may continue to open up our market and There is enough data to convince shareholders to retain the independence of our team."

Everyone looked at him with doubts on their faces: "What kind of design concept?"

Xu Zitai continued: "Sorry, I can't disclose it to everyone in advance, because I'm not sure how many people here are planning to change jobs. In order to prevent the leakage of commercial secrets, I will only tell my design concept to those who are willing to stay. "

What he said was so straightforward that everyone present was taken aback.Immediately, the eyes of several engineers who planned to quit, including Zhou Lin, flickered.

Xu Zitai's proposal is very tempting. After all, "Peak Tour" has always been the leader of high-end routes, and it is their greatest pride to be able to work for "Peak Tour".Although the "Peak Tour" is no longer popular, they still have feelings, and they are not willing to leave easily if they are not forced to.

But if he does not speak out about this design concept, others will not be able to correctly judge its feasibility.It's too much for them to make a choice without knowing anything about it.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Chen Qian was the first to raise his hand: "I am willing to stay!"

Xu Zitai smiled and nodded to him.

Immediately, several young technicians expressed their willingness to stay and work harder.

Zhou Lin and a few more prestigious engineers were left. They glanced at each other and were a little hesitant.

Then a middle-aged engineer said: "Sorry, I won't take this risk, I still have several people in my family who need me to support, and... I have basically negotiated with the new employer, and I will submit my resignation in a few days .So, I'm not going to join you guys, good luck."

After he said this, several other engineers also expressed their opinions one after another. They were either because they wanted to support their families, or because the new employer gave them higher salaries, so they felt that there was no need to stay here for a nothingness. Dream and bet your own future.

In the end, only Zhou Lin remained silent.As the team leader, Zhou Lin is also the soul of the team, so his every move can directly affect everyone's determination and even decision.

Zhou Lin was also very contradictory at the moment. Intellectually, he planned to find another job, but emotionally, he was really reluctant to let it go.And when everyone focused their attention on him, he felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased a lot.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Xu Zitai said: "Actually, whether to go or not, there is no need to make a decision so quickly. I heard from Mr. Lu that the merger of the two groups will probably be in the middle of this month, so we still have a few days left." The time can be carefully considered. I will come back to ask everyone's opinions until the day before the merger."

After hearing his words, Zhou Lin was obviously relieved, and gave Xu Zitai a grateful look.

That night, in order not to attract the attention of others, Xu Zitai did not take Lu Zhaoming's private airship again.

Lu Zhaoming was afraid that he would be unsafe on the road, so he specially dispatched an ordinary airship and arranged for a few private bodyguards to pick him up and drop him off. In the eyes of others, they thought he was an incognito son from somewhere.

When Xu Zitai returned to Lu's residence, Lu Zhaoming was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for him to come back to start dinner.

When Xu Zitai sat down to eat, Lu Zhaoming looked at him again and again and asked, "It's the first day at work, are you still used to it?"

"good."

"Did they recognize you?"

"Except for Manager Tang from the HR department, no one paid much attention to my appearance." Xu Zitai said, looking at Lu Zhaoming, "This Manager Tang has very poisonous eyes. I think he was a little suspicious when he saw me this morning. I'm sorry, in order to avoid complications, you might as well say hello to him in private, lest he see through my identity one day and go around talking about it."

"Tang Ke is a very dutiful person. He won't talk nonsense about things that shouldn't be said." Lu Zhaoming shook his head, but in order to ease Xu Zitai's heart, he had no choice but to promise, "Okay, I'll see him tomorrow." Yes, I told him something."

Then Lu Zhaoming asked a few more questions about Xu Zitai's interpersonal relationship in the company, but Xu Zitai dismissed them with a few simple sentences.

Xu Zitai saw that he was chatting with him, but his face was a little absent-minded, so he directly pointed at him: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lu Zhaoming had no choice but to ask vaguely: "Xiao Ning, I have already done what I promised you, so what you promised me..."

"I will remember your matter." Xu Zitai waved his hand, "But we have to wait for the opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Lu Zhaoming didn't know why.

Xu Zitai sighed, took out his mobile phone and typed a sentence: [Give you a chance to successfully burn to [-] degrees in one go.Your physical fitness is so good that you don't need to use extreme measures, you can't burn to that level. 】

"..." Lu Zhaoming looked at Xu Zitai speechlessly, not knowing whether his words were a compliment or a dislike for him.
