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

Chapter 598 Drawing the Sword Against the Enemy (The 93rd Military Parade Concludes Successfully; Justice Will Prevail!)

"I just heard from Xiao Zhu that your company is encountering some difficulties?"

Li Xianglan knew, of course, who was setting up the difficulties, but she wanted to hear Chen's true opinion on the matter.

"Actually, it's not so bad."

Chen remained unhurried and unhurried.

He showed neither anger at being attacked by Zheng Weizhong's political power, nor resentment at being held hostage by China Mobile, and calmly stated as always:
"Ups and downs are common in the business world. The company is currently facing some problems, and in my opinion..."

Chen paused for a moment, then looked at Li Xianglan with clear and sincere eyes: "It has nothing to do with who is right or wrong, but only with the difference in ideas between the two parties. This is also a necessary trial on the road to corporate growth."

Look at this emotional intelligence, look at this reaction, look at this explanation.

Even if Chen were to hurl insults or complaints at Zheng Weizhong, Li Xianglan would understand, and might even feel a little better.

However, this magnanimous statement not only demonstrated his own magnanimity, but also made Zheng Weizhong seem like a ruthless "villain".

"Aunt Lan, have some tea."

At this moment, Yu Xian brewed some green tea to aid digestion after the meal, gently placed it in front of Li Xianglan, and then obediently sat down next to Chen.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Xianglan picked up her teacup and blew on it; the rising steam blurred the complex emotions in her eyes.

She felt a deep, indescribable guilt. Her husband was attacking Chen Zhe, while she was enjoying the kindness and service that Xian Mei'er provided. It was as if she was being silently tortured by her conscience.

"...Have you considered trying to communicate with the other party?"

Li Xianglan took a sip of water and tentatively asked.

Chen's eyes flickered. From this, it seemed that Aunt Lan was interested in acting as a middleman.
That's great!
Chen Zhe knew very well that Li Xianglan could not persuade Zheng Weizhong.

However, this will definitely increase Mr. Zheng's troubles.

Adding some more trouble here, and further provoking him, will eventually make Mr. Zheng feel like he's being attacked from both sides.

"I did look for it."

Chen crossed his hands, looking a little embarrassed: "But we were rejected, and we can't find a suitable middleman to act as a go-between."

"Oh."

Li Xianglan held the teacup and twirled it in her palm, seemingly lost in thought.

"Actually, losing money is secondary. The main thing is the feeling of powerlessness and unfairness, which is the most tormenting. We play by the rules, but the other party can change the rules at will."

The secretary said indignantly, "The development of private enterprises is truly fraught with difficulties!"

Li Xianglan remained silent, but took another sip of tea.

Chen frowned slightly.

Our role today is like the "green tea" in our hands, all we can say is, "It's okay, brother, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with your girlfriend, and your girlfriend didn't do anything wrong either..."

Avoid using angry or accusatory tones; instead, express your grievances and helplessness in a tone that is more likely to evoke sympathy.

The secretary's words just now, while expressing grievance, contained veiled accusations, which went a bit too far.

"cough~"

"Green Tea Chen" coughed lightly: "Actually, I think the real tragedy in the world is not the conflict between 'right' and 'wrong,' but the conflict between two 'right' things."

He smoothed over his secretary's slightly overreaction with philosophical remarks.

However, upon closer examination, it still retains a strong "cheap tea" flavor, only Director Chen's level is too high, so it sounds very profound.

"Bata~"

Li Xianglan suddenly put down her tea, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Judging from the expression on her face, she seemed to have made some decisions.

"Did Aunt Lan go back so soon?"

Yu Xian was a little surprised, as Li Xianglan usually didn't go back until around 10 o'clock.

"Yes, it won't interfere with your oil painting practice."

Li Xianglan smiled, rubbed Xianmei'er's smooth face with her finger, picked up her bag, and went out to drive.

Hearing the sound of an engine starting outside the courtyard, before Chen could say anything, his secretary suddenly rushed into the kitchen:
"Wang Changhua! Don't throw away the leftover braised pork and boiled pork slices from dinner! I was holding back my saliva so much, it was practically overflowing!"

"She wasn't..."

Xianmei asked innocently, "Is your chest tight and you can't eat anything?"

"Who knows."

Chen shrugged, adopting a nice, easygoing demeanor, as if it were none of his business.

Zheng Weizhong is a bit irritable today.

He learned in his office that Chen Zhe had actually gone to China Unicom's headquarters that morning and had offered Lu Yimin a deal to give away 10,000 contract phones for free.

Although the "Big Three" are competitors, they are all state-owned enterprises under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and are quite similar in nature. There are really no secrets between them.

Zheng Weizhong speculated that, given Chen Zhe's skill and style, if he were to offer a generous gift to China Unicom, he would certainly not overlook China Mobile and China Telecom.

If he ignored that, he wouldn't deserve to fight with himself for so long.

Will Wang Guohua refuse then?
He won't!
Zheng Weizhong was well aware that his political demands and Wang Guohua's political interests did not overlap.

Therefore, when Zheng Weizhong took the initiative to act as a pioneer and risked his life to test the domestic Android phone market, he would have gladly accepted it if he were the head of China Mobile.

But having accepted such benefits, can one still be ruthless towards the reply?
At the routine Party committee meeting in the afternoon, after discussing specific business matters, Wang Guohua closed his notebook and suddenly repeated the same old tune:

"Comrades, we must always remember that economic development is the central task! Every individual, every decision, and every choice must be weighed and considered under the general requirement of economic development. Especially now that the situation is complex, we, as Party members and leaders, must raise our political awareness and strengthen our sense of the overall situation, and must not let local paces disrupt the overall rhythm..."

Although no names were mentioned, Zheng Weizhong felt it was a subtle reminder.

There's no way around it, Su Hui's move this time was very bold, 10,000 customized phones with no conditions or responsibility, even a cautious old-fashioned leader like Lao Lu from China Unicom agreed.

Back in his office, Zheng Weizhong pondered how to respond, but couldn't come up with a good solution for a while.

Because retrospection is Chen's retrospection.

However, the movement is not the movement of any one person.

Hey!
As Zheng Weizhong pondered this, he chuckled softly to himself.

Yumi, Yumi, can you really "have rice"?

Zheng Weizhong certainly wouldn't give up.

Without a firm will, how could one have climbed to their current position? Just as evening fell, the new deputy director of the office came to report another piece of news.

The Reply Project Team, a subsidiary of Suhui Technology, released an announcement within the software, declaring that the "Moments" feature will be officially launched starting tomorrow.

What is "Moments"?

Zheng Weizhong understands rights and knows how to maintain balance, but he is not familiar with these emerging new internet features.

"I checked, and it seems that users can post text and pictures on their Moments to reply to the message."

The deputy director of the office can write official documents and serve the leaders, but he is also unfamiliar with the details of this type of product.

It is not difficult to see from this that while state-owned enterprises and central enterprises can grasp the general direction of policies and resources, their own pace and mechanisms are simply not able to flexibly cope with rapid technological changes.

A report typically takes two days to process via the OA system. If a leader is away on a business trip, it can get stuck there until he returns and approves it.

During this time, everyone could only wait.

However, during this period of time, the replies were enough to rape the market a thousand times over.

Therefore, the elimination of Fetion was almost inevitable. If it wasn't called "Reply," it would just be another software with a different name.

In fact, young people like Zheng Weizhong are quite capable. They still have the energy and are willing to study new things they don't understand themselves.

Some older leaders are just too lazy to complain!

Zheng Weizhong read the announcement from the "Reply Project Team" several times, thinking to himself, "They're really not going to act anymore!"
This is tantamount to directly telling everyone that Tuihui is going to enter the "instant messaging software" application market, but Zheng Weizhong doesn't understand why a sentence was specifically added;
[Reply] We will focus on creating high-end business applications and deeply integrating office collaboration functions, aiming to build an efficient, secure, and focused communication platform for business people and professional teams.

Zheng Weizhong didn't have QQ, so he had no idea that this was Chen's deliberate act, to distance himself from QQ, which focused on social entertainment, and to avoid alerting Tencent too early.

However, Chen Zhe felt that it was unlikely to attract much attention, as Zhang Xiaolong was still in charge of the QQ Mail business and had no intention of creating WeChat.

Moreover, [Reply] is mainly based on mobile devices, while [QQ] is more PC-based, and currently there is also Microsoft's MSN on PC.

This is software similar to QQ; Tencent's focus is probably more on MSN.

In addition to MSN, there is also 360, with whom the conflict is deepening.

In two years, the "3Q War" will also break out. With Ma Ying-jeou chasing after Cardinal Zhou Hongyi everywhere, he has little energy to deal with other things.

With the strategic planning of the past two years, Suhui will grow to an incredibly formidable level, essentially acquiring all the advantageous projects from Xiaomi, Tencent, and ByteDance.

However, on the other hand, if Tencent feels threatened now, it might start to take countermeasures.

The choice to go back to the beginning is simple: I'm not even afraid of a vice-ministerial level leader, so why would I be afraid of you?

It boils down to four words: When facing an enemy, unsheathe your sword!
