Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 493 [Chen Zhuo of Zhongda University]

With the addition of Ma Haijun, the convoy heading to Shanghai was already quite large.

Chen Zhuo, Song Shiwei, Lu Lin, Lu Man, Xiang Xiaohui, Liu Hongjian, and Cong Ni.

Cong Ni is now in the role of "little secretary," and she excels at making PPTs, writing summaries, and collecting information, which makes Chen Zhe quite envious.

He currently does not have a full-time secretary, and some administrative tasks are handled by Jiang Fu.

It would have been fine in the past, but as the traceability system gradually grew larger, and Jiang Fu was the financial manager, she didn't have that much energy to handle these small matters anymore, and often suggested that Chen find a full-time secretary as soon as possible.

"Didn't you mentor Shi Lin and Jiang Jinyu?"

Chen asked, "How about you throw one over for me to use?"

"no!"

Jiang Fu refused outright.

Shi Lin and Jiang Jinyu are the "rising stars in the financial sector" whom she carefully selected from many resumes and personally interviewed.

Like the graduate students that visiting doctors teach, they should be taught little by little and prepared to help share the workload. They can't just be "thrown" to Chen Zhe as his secretary.

Actually, Chen Zhe was just mentioning it casually. Originally, if Xiao Mou hadn't been Sweet Sister's good friend, she would have been quite suitable in every way.

However, given her current position, she is destined to be ineligible for this position.

A full-time secretary must be a neutral party member!
Then there's Zhao Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan's advantage is that she is "well-informed and pleasing to both sides." She is indeed a "Chen Party" member, and having her around can make her a useful tool.

However, Yuanyuan's abilities and temperament are not as good as Xiaomou's, and she still needs to be tempered in the development planning department.

In fact, Chen Zhe had another candidate. She performed quite well in the [Xu Yue incident], and because of one of her senior brothers, she also had a strong sense of identification with retrospection.

That was Zhu Xiuxiu, the head of the external relations department at South China University of Technology.

They have good qualities and abilities, and since they will be seniors next semester, they can come to intern earlier.

"Then let's go with her!"

Although Chen Zhe appears gentle and refined on the surface, he is actually a very decisive person.

When on temporary assignment, there are a lot of things to do almost every day. If you get bogged down in a particular task for too long, it's better not to assign any other tasks.

On the plane to Shanghai, Chen suddenly had the idea to give Zhu Xiuxiu an English name, "Rebecca".

"Rebecca, what's wrong with you! You actually put this foreign master's degree candidate's resume on my desk? You're docking your afternoon tea for a day. Go and reflect on your actions with General Manager Jiang!"

……

After arriving in Shanghai, although Song Zuomin did not come, CITIC still arranged for transportation.

This is a byproduct of power.

The advantage is that it's completely free; not only will you not have to pay for gas, but you can even get your travel expenses reimbursed.

However, it has two drawbacks:

First, it is greatly affected by policies. For example, once the regulations were issued, almost no unit dared to use official vehicles for private purposes anymore.
Second, derivatives originate from power, but they will also disappear when power ends, which is completely different from private enterprises.

To give a vivid example, A is now the bureau chief, so in other people's eyes, the bureau chief = A.

However, once he retires, in a system where people are forgotten once they leave, the director is not necessarily A.

However, for retrospection, no matter where the record is, it is always "retrospection = retrospection".

Just like how no matter how many people change the top leader of Shenzhen, Xiao Ma is still Xiao Ma.

Therefore, in our country, as long as a company can grow into a behemoth, the entrepreneur's sense of happiness in the end is actually greater than that of an official.

However, on the other hand, to grow into such a "giant," there must be countless entanglements of interests involved. Just like yesterday, Chen seemed to be seeking help from provincial leaders, but wasn't it actually a way to deepen his relationship with them?

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that companies do not betray national interests. It is pathetic for businessmen to be without nationality; no matter how much money they have, they have no sense of security.

Upon arriving at their hotel on the Bund, Chen originally planned to go to Taomi Technology with Sweetie, with Cong Ni in charge of taking notes and Ma Haijun in charge of security.

However, Xiang Xiaohui and Liu Hongjian felt that accompanying the two elders was a bit boring, so they also asked to go and listen in.

They knew this was about resolving a dispute, but they were curious about how their cousin and brother-in-law would handle it.

Chen Zhe, in particular, was different from Song Shiwei and Cong Ni, because he had prepared a lot of materials.

He only brought a folder containing a thin, folded A4 sheet of paper and a USB drive, the contents of which were unknown. Chen Zhe didn't refuse Xiang Xiaohui's request; if he were in her shoes, he would also like to go and see what was going on. On his way to Taomi Technology, Chen Zhe sent another text message to Wang Haibin.

Chen Zhe: Mr. Wang, we have landed and are now heading to the company.

Chen Zhe truly embodies the "courtesy first, then force" approach to dealing with people. Even if he has to deal with you in the end, he will still stand on the moral high ground like a pure white lotus.

This person's skills are hundreds of times better than Wang Haibin's.

After receiving the text message in his office, Wang Haibin immediately went to discuss it with Wei Zhen and Chen Yunpeng.

"The person is already here."

Wang Haibin said, "We'll arrive in about ten minutes."

Seeing the undisguised tension in his partner's eyes, Chen Yunpeng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "We always have to face this. Haven't we already calculated it out? We'll buy back the shares that were sold for two to three times the original value."

Initially, the investment was 70 yuan to acquire 30% of Taomee Technology's shares.

Jianweizhizhe Investment Management Company invested 74.7 yuan to acquire 32% of Taomee Technology's shares.

Taomee Technology now plans to buy back these shares for between 300 million and 450 million yuan.

"Well."

Wang Haibin nodded, feigning composure.

450 million was the highest price he could offer, and he even needed to borrow from the bank. However, he was not good at business and networking, so the bank could only do business as usual and could only lend him a small amount.

Wei Zhen listened in silence.

The company is facing significant problems. As the development of "Mole's World" continues to improve, he has clearly sensed that the three of them are no longer as united as before.

Back when they were crammed into that 30-square-meter rented room filled with strange smells, the three of them were truly of one mind and worked together towards the same goal.

They smoked each other's leftover cigarette butts, feeling hopeful for the future.

Now that we've escaped the predicament of "going hungry nine times in three days," we often argue about work-related issues.

Wei Zhen didn't know the reason. Perhaps this was the end result of friends going into business together—from being of one mind to fighting amongst themselves, and in the end, the company fell apart and the friendship was gone too.

Thinking that even "New Oriental" could not avoid this fate, Wei Zhen felt a little better.

However, Wei Zhen did not believe that the other party would agree to this crisis.

If Chen Zhe can spend 1500 million to have a meal with Buffett, would he really care about a mere 500 million?
The number of registered users of "Mole's World" is now close to 200 million, which is an extremely impressive number for any emerging game.

The game also plans to launch an in-game store where players can exchange real-world RMB for virtual items.

Once it's activated, the daily profits are unpredictable; only a fool would agree to sell their shares.

Wei Zhen's idea was that if Chen Zhe and Ms. Song didn't agree, they should simply ask them to increase their investment, polish "Mole's World" to be more refined, expand its publicity, and attract more players.

We aim to have over 1000 million registered users by the end of the year, with a peak concurrent user count of 50.

However, Wang Haibin disagreed. He had become paranoid and seemed determined to get rid of Chen Zhe and Ms. Song in order to survive.

When I privately talked about this with Chen Yunpeng, Chen Yunpeng sighed and just kept touching his lighter to smoke, clearly feeling confused as well.

Wang Haibin then said some harsh words, such as, "If Chen doesn't agree, then none of us will have an easy time. I'd rather destroy Taomi Technology than leave 'Mole's World' to scammers..."

Wei Zhen thought it was a bit childish, so he didn't respond.

Then the receptionist rushed over and reported, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Wei, Mr. Chen, a man named Chen Zhe has come to visit."

Wei Zhen and Chen Yunpeng both stood up to greet them.

Only Wang Haibin dawdled and didn't want to move.

The receptionist, oblivious to this detail, asked with shining eyes, "Is this [Zhongda Chenzhe] from Guangdong? Wow, he actually came to our company for an inspection?"

Wei Zhen curled his lip.

If you knew that [Zhongda Chenzhe] is one of our company's major shareholders, please don't jump for joy.

He glanced to his side out of the corner of his eye.

Wang Haibin's expression grew increasingly grim.
