Chapter 114: For the benefit of the company!
Mrs. Su has already decided that her daughter Su Qingying would not come to Taiwan!
She was also fortunate that this is just a regular executive meeting, not a group meeting, nor a board meeting or shareholders meeting. The scene was different, and the negative impact of the mother-daughter conflict was also different!
The influence must be kept to a minimum, and the daughter’s rebellion must be killed in the bud!
“There is nothing wrong with Zhou Da and Yang Kuo,” Su Qingying said.
“That’s right, yet you still want to fire them?!” Mrs. Su patted the table and stood up again.
“But whether they are fired or not has nothing to do with whether they made a mistake!” Su Qingying said again.
“What a joke! What’s your reasoning? You just want to mess around?” Mrs. Su immediately said, not only was she opposing Su Qingying herself, but she was also provoking the emotions of all the executives present!
Because she knew that Su Qingying was going to fire two middle managers. This kind of matter did not need to be decided by the board of directors, let alone a shareholder meeting. She really had the right to fire then. If Su Ruiwen was not around, she could do it without anyone’s consent.
Mrs. Su was afraid that she would go her own way!
So she needed the executives present to put pressure on Su Qingying.
She knew that no matter what happened to her daughter, she might have been provoked by Li Ruobing, so she turned against her today. But no matter what, it was impossible for her daughter to commit that kind of public anger!
Because it was extremely unfavorable for her take over in the future. It would make people not convinced of her daughter and question her!
Following Mrs. Su’s words, sure enough, all the executives in the conference room turned to look at Su Qingying.
There was something obviously wrong with their faces.
Mrs. Su didn’t make any excuses, what Mrs. Su said was right!
But Su Qingying’s words were very problematic.
Su Qingying suppressed all kinds of uneasiness and tension in her heart, looked at Mrs. Su blankly and continued, “Five days ago! On the morning of July 7, a major robbery occurred in the business hall of our Jinfu Group in Donghai! Although it was solved that day, the negative impact is still fermenting…
“Donghai is where the headquarters of our Jinfu Group is located!” Su Qingying said, and then glanced at the executives present, “There are five stores in total, and the store in the commercial street is not only the largest in Donghai, but also the largest in the country.
“The store on the commercial street, whether it is decoration, monitoring facilities, or security level, is the best and the highest!
“But! It was this store that was robbed! Diamond jewelry worth more than 20 million, It was snatched by the robbers on the spot. Although it has been recovered now, the outside world has questioned Jinfu Group’s internals, questioned our security capabilities, and even our partners have sent letters to inquire…
“The occurrence of the robbery is not our problem, but the lack of security measures to provide customers with a safe and reliable shopping environment is my responsibility! Why was only our Jinfu jewelry robbed? Why weren’t other jewelry stores robbed? Is it because our security is not strong enough? Is there a problem with our security plan? That’s why we are being targeted?
“We know that this is not the case, this is a highly random incident, but the public don’t have this kind of understanding of us. Once the public has those doubts about us, will some customers come less or not come to us to buy jewelry because of their own safety?
“Even if there is only a small probability of encountering a robbery, no one is willing to touch the incident, and our competitors have already guided public opinion after the incident, constantly creating topics, and attacking us! They say that we have security problems, and that our store is not safe. We are always targeted… We need a esponse!
“The public is sensitive, and so are the stockholders! The stock prices these days have already explained the problem.
“On July 8, our stock price fell by the limit!
“On July 9, the limit fell again!
“In two days, the market value of our group has evaporated by nearly 8 billion! Although it has started to rebound on the 10th, and until the market opened this morning, more than half of the evaporated market value has recovered, but… the impact has not been eliminated!” Dozens of people in the conference room were all listening to Su Qingying.
They all understood what Su Qingying was going to say.
Madam Su’s complexion changed again and again.
She didn’t expect her daughter Su Qingying to start with the big robbery before, but now she understood… As long as there was a security issue, someone from the Security Department must be held accountable!
“Father told me before getting on the plane,” Su Qingying stared at her mother again, “He said that he gave me full power to deal with the follow-up and response to the robbery, and asked me to do it well and do it beautifully!
“Therefore, Zhou Da, the director of the security department, must be fired!”
Su Qingying glanced again, “It doesn’t matter whether the responsibility is his or not, the important thing is to calm down public opinion and make an attitude! Let the outside world understand that our Jinfu Group’s security issues will be settled! We have to bring the stock price back as soon as possible!
“Zhou Da may not accept it, it’s okay. I will talk to him. If he wants to leave nicely, let him take the blame and resign, and I will give him an extra sum in private. But no matter what, he must go!” Su Qingying finished.
In fact, everyone understood, including Su Qingying himself, that Zhou Da was not responsible. It was a random emergency, and the bank’s security was even stronger, so it was as if they hadn’t been robbed.
And Zhou Da was the chief security officer, so it was impossible for him to arrange the security of the store personally.
However, from the perspective of a company operator.
There was nothing wrong with Su Qingying’s arrangement!
On the contrary, it was very courageous!
To calm the public opinion and make an attitude, then Zhou Da, the head of the security department, had to come out as a “scapegoat”!
After all, it was for the benefit of the company!
Su Qingying was looking for a reason based on the “general trend”, a reason that no one could refute.
“Mom!” Su Qingying looked at her mother again, “Do you think my reason is sufficient? I think it is sufficient. I believe that not only everyone sitting here can understand me, even in the board of directors and shareholders’ meeting will support me! I am for the benefit of the company, for the benefit of the shareholders!”
Mrs. Su had a sullen face, unable to utter a single word.
After a few seconds…
“Okay! Zhou Da, you can fire, but what about Yang Kuo?” Mrs. Su stared at Su Qingying again and asked, “If you want to drag someone to take responsibility, Zhou Da is enough. What did Yang Kuo do wrong? Are you going to make him take the blame?”
“No need,” Su Qingying said.
“Then what reason do you have?”
“He doesn’t work for the company.”
“Huh?” Madam Su was taken aback for a moment.
All the executives present were also taken aback.
This was a fact that they all subconsciously ignored. Because they were used to it, no one cares about small things.
“When did Yang Kuo work for the company? In the past few years? He is only a name in the security department. He has been working for the Su family. He is your personal bodyguard.” Su Qingying looked at Mrs. Su and said, “His future work will not change, but in Jinfu Group, he must be removed! Although our Su family is the founder and operator of Jinfu, Jinfu Group is now a listed company! It does not belong to a few people, but to all shareholders! Is there a problem if I fire him?”
Mrs. Su stared at her daughter silently.
No problem, this was really no problem at all!
Mrs. Su understood that whoever was expelled and who was not, and for any reason, was not the point!
My daughter is going to resist hers today! She was just looking for reasons to “rebel”!
“A meeting of the board of directors! Immediately call for a meeting of the board of directors!” After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she walked directly outside the meeting room.
She had enough!
There must be a board meeting!
Mrs. Su wanted her daughter Su Qingying to understand that even if what she said was justified, even if it was just a “small matter” that was not worth discussing at the board of directors! No one on the board would support her! If she didn’t agree, no one would support her!
After all, the board of directors was decided by her husband Su Ruiwen!
And now, she represented her husband!
She wanted her daughter to fully understand who was in charge of the current Jinfu Group!
