Great Power Technology - #616 - Chapter 606: You are gone, but the things are still mine

Behind He Hongwen’s control, it represents the uprooting of an entire interest group.

In fact, on this day, the Pyrotechnical Organization launched the largest “clearance” operation since its establishment, removing the final obstacle to the subsequent commercial encirclement and suppression.

Pains are inevitable. Because the roots in China are too deep, some fields and departments even fell into a state of leaderlessness for a short period of time. But fortunately, the officials who had been prepared for a long time quickly arranged a backup plan, which only took less than three days. Within days, the situation had completely stabilized.

As the last key personnel arrived, the encirclement and suppression operation officially began.

In July 20XX, a piece of blockbuster news appeared on the front pages of all news media:

The official announced that due to various issues such as information security and product quality, starting from that year, the purchase of leno computers will be completely stopped. After that, all official departments will use Huashuo computers from Nandao as replacements.

At the same time, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which had disappeared from the public for a long time, suddenly took action and invested heavily in a manufacturer specializing in the production of SUT equipment. However, there was an irresistible wave of resignations within the manufacturer that was originally acquired by Simcere Pharmaceuticals -—— Needless to say, these people all ran away after receiving their subsidies.

Almost instantly, the plan to limit project progress through SUT failed.

Of course, this move was not a life-or-death move. Until the company’s operations came to a standstill, they thought there was still hope for a comeback, but soon, bigger blows followed.

Bank loan suspension, China Securities Regulatory Commission review, ABC inspection, tax audit…

At least within China, business activities were forced to be completely suspended.

At this stage, the decision-makers there finally couldn’t sit still. A week after the operation started, Liu Sen used various connections to make an appointment with Chen Hao, who was on a business trip in Shenzhen.

The two met at the office of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. When Liu Sen walked into the office, Chen Hao had just finished reviewing and approving the budget for SUT supply. He looked up at Liu Sen and said in a slightly teasing tone:

“Mr. Liu, do you still have a lot of SUT equipment in your warehouse? If there are still a lot, then I have to give you a piece of advice.”

“Sell it as soon as possible. If it remains in the backlog for another month, I’m afraid it won’t be sold anymore.”

At this time, Liu Sen looked haggard, but still maintained a stable momentum and demeanor. He was not angry at all because of Chen Hao’s words, but just echoed:

“Yes, it was our decision-making mistake this time. Thank you for your reminder. After I go back, I will convene a board of directors to arrange for the inventory to be consumed as soon as possible.”

“Is it as simple as just consuming inventory?”

Chen Hao gave him a meaningful look, closed his computer, walked to the sofa and sat down.

He did not invite Liu Sen to sit down, which made the latter a little confused.

In fact, he has never experienced such neglect. As the leader, even if he had previous contact with high-level officials, both parties could basically maintain basic courtesy and respect. But it was obvious that the man in front of him did not treat him at all. Take it seriously.

After noticing the other party’s attitude, even Liu Sen, who had been prepared for it, couldn’t help but feel secretly angry.

Why should he treat himself like this?

Why does he treat his company like this?

Is it necessary to completely destroy a large conglomerate that provides hundreds of thousands of jobs just because of some ideological dissent?

This should not be the correct use of power, this is…

Liu Sen did not continue thinking. After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to sit down on the sofa opposite, and then replied:

“Of course it’s not just about consuming inventory, we will organize production as soon as possible to ensure the normal supply of SUT.”

“You know, we are a profit-seeking company. In fact, all previous strategies were based on pure business considerations and were not meant to fight against the official…”

Hearing his words, Chen Hao couldn’t help but feel a little funny.

It was a high-sounding statement at this time, but if the ugly country hadn’t taken the initiative to retreat after realizing that something was wrong, now on the Internet, they should have been promoted as heroes who resisted autocracy, oppressed and pursued freedom, right?

Chasing profits?

Of course, in any country, the pursuit of profits is the talent of capital and businessmen. This is understandable, but the bottom line of pursuing profits is that the losses caused cannot exceed the value created.

Otherwise, it is benefiting oneself at the expense of others.

And this is what they did.

Thinking of this, he interrupted:

“Okay, I’m not interested in what you’re talking about. I agreed to meet you today, and I’m not here to listen to your so-called explanation.” “The problem you want to talk to me about is very simple, you want them to live. , isn’t it?”

Liu Sen had a lot of prepared explanations choked in his throat. After a few seconds of pause, he nodded and answered:

“Yes, we want to survive.”

“Well, give me a reason for you to live.”

Hearing this, Liu Sen’s eyes lit up slightly. He keenly caught the change in Chen Hao’s tone, and in this change, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope.

“I have many reasons!”

His tone became a little urgent – of course, this was largely a deliberate act.

Afterwards, he took out the documents he had prepared and introduced the industries to Chen Hao one by one, as well as the role these industries played within China.

This is not the first time Chen Hao has heard such content. In previous strategy discussions, many insiders had already suggested suspending actions against them based on this. But hearing it again, he still felt that Secretly shocked.

They have indeed grown into a giant, and their tax payments alone have exceeded tens of billions per year on average.

But the more this happens, the more Chen Hao feels impatient – if they are allowed to grow bigger, the eventual backlash will be even more fierce.

Liu Sen spoke for a full 10 minutes, and Chen Hao also listened absently for ten minutes. After the other party finished, he said bluntly:

“The reasons you mentioned are not enough to convince me. The reason is simple: you are not irreplaceable.”

“You probably also know that we have arranged back-up personnel for all the industries you are involved in. As long as you withdraw from the market, someone will take over immediately.”

“We only bear a small cost in the replacement process, but we can obtain a company that is easier to manage, more loyal and upright. I think you can also calculate this account clearly, right?”

Liu Sen nodded slowly. He expected that the other party would react like this, so he still had the real bargaining chip in his hand.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke:

“So, what about the right to participate in the immune reconstruction project? This project is an international cooperation project, and our seats are publicly confirmed. Even the official has no right to forcibly exclude us.”

“-Of course, you can also use administrative power to expel us, but this will make you lose all the trust relationships that you have finally established. Not only in the immune reconstruction project, but also in all other fields of cooperation, other countries and organizations will You are suspicious.”

“I know you didn’t want us to participate in the project in the first place, and competing for this seat was the worst decision we could have made. Now, I want to make a condition.”

“If we voluntarily withdraw from the project, can you let us, even to a minimum extent, survive?”

Liu Sen’s expression was extremely sincere. Chen Hao looked directly into his eyes, trying to find any trace of fraud, but unfortunately, he could not find it.

After just looking at each other for more than ten seconds, Chen Hao suddenly laughed out loud.

“Mr. Liu, you may not understand what you are talking about…”

“Yes, you have a seat in the project, and you are indeed protected by law. We cannot use administrative power to take it back.”

“But the question is, if you fail…then won’t these seats still belong to us?”
