Chapter 44: Stress
In the conference room, the pressure came on A Bing.
This kind of situation, if you don't explain it carefully, it will be a situation that will never be recovered.
Under Mr. Qiao's gaze, A Bing slowly stood up and said loudly and firmly:
"I think the company should give me a promotion and a salary increase!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar!
Mr. Qiao just said that he made Phoenix City into a mess, and he backhandedly asked for a promotion and a salary increase?
However, A Bing was not afraid at all and continued to talk about his argument:
"Mr. Qiao sent me to Phoenix City to be the security captain. What are the duties of a security guard?"
"Punishing rape and eradicating evil!"
"Now the two biggest villains in Phoenix City, one is the former property manager Liu Huaqiang who has done many evil things, and the other is the current manager Fan Jian. He would have embezzled the company's interests for a long time and became Liu Huaqiang's second best.
But now I am sending him to jail."
"I got rid of two major pests for the company and saved the company millions of losses in advance. I am not rewarded, so who else should be rewarded?!"
In just a few words, he insisted on describing himself as a great contributor to the group.
Turning things upside down is secondly, but mainly because A Bing's tone and attitude made other company executives feel very uncomfortable.
Yes, from this perspective, A Bing did have merit.
But how can you take the initiative to claim credit?
In the entire group, and even in the entire society, don’t we all strive to be humble and low-key?
Even if you have merit, you still have to pretend to be so. Even if you deserve to be rewarded, you still have to pretend to shirk it.
This is what everyone does.
It's very hypocritical, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is the national character inherited from our ancestors for thousands of years.
But A Bing just didn’t.
If he has merit, say it loudly!
He will loudly and directly ask for the merits that belong to him from his boss!
There are not so many disgusting twists and turns, and you still have to sell the good guy when you get the advantage. I, Xu Bing, just want to stand in front of everyone today and give this limelight!
If you want to shoot the first bird, just shoot at my head!
I, Xu Bing, am an upright person, I will praise my merits and criticize my mistakes. I will no longer be hypocritical and I will not pretend. Whether you look down on me, exclude me or laugh at me, this is who I am, so what do you do?
After saying these few words, the entire conference room was silent.
Mr. Qiao leaned on the leather seat, supported his chin with one hand, and stared straight at A Bing.
After a long time, she finally said:
"Your words and deeds are very deviant."
"but I like it."
"I announce that starting from today, Xu Bing's rank will be elevated to P6, and he will be regarded as a key training target of the company in the future."
There was another moment of silence, and the faces of the old executives were full of confusion.
How could such a stupid young man be promoted out of the ordinary?
He doesn't follow the rules!
Mr. Qiao's appointment made their eyes red with envy, and they secretly clenched their fists.
But not all of them in the conference room were these old-fashioned red-eyed weirdos. There were also some who were really happy for A Bing.
For example, Qin Lan.
She was the first to take the lead in applauding A Bing, her eyes filled with approval.
Qin Yun also liked A Bing very much and clapped along.
With the two p11s taking the lead, the others had no choice but to pretend to follow, no matter how unwilling they were.
Warm applause gathered into a sea, and A Bing smiled and nodded to everyone.
"thanks, thanks!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qiao, for the promotion! I will work hard!"
After a while of thanks, A Bing sat back on his chair.
Only then did he realize that his back was almost soaked with sweat.
He actually knew that what he said just now was a bit out of line.
But that is the only way to break the situation. If he makes clumsy excuses, only makes excuses, and shirks responsibility, Mr. Qiao will only treat him coldly, and there will only be another ending waiting for him.
So he chose to show his edge and take the gamble of taking the wrong approach.
In the end, he made the right bet.
There are tens of thousands of employees under Mr. Qiao. She may not be able to remember the most capable ones, but she will definitely be impressed by the most unique one.
After it was announced that A Bing was promoted to P6, he became more or less a minor leader in the company. It can be said that he had truly established a firm foothold, and at the end of the year, he would also be able to participate in the company's year-end dividends.
It's just that he currently has little experience in specific company business, and needs to take turns to intern in multiple positions, and then be further awarded a position of real power based on the results.
After discussing A Bing's matter, the meeting was not over yet.
The iceberg beauty who had been sitting on Mr. Qiao's left hand, lowering her head to read the report, opened the second topic.
She reported calmly: "Mr. Qiao, I have listed the total salary expenditure of the group this year. The current expenditure has increased significantly for three consecutive years, reaching 90.3 million this year, which has seriously hindered the development of the group."
When it comes to salary and wages, everyone present is very nervous, because this is something that is closely related to everyone.
The real estate industry has been in recession in the past two years. When Mr. Qiao heard that the salary expenditure was so high, he immediately frowned:
“How can there be a reason why a company doesn’t make money but its wages are getting higher and higher?”
"Ling Wei, make arrangements immediately to carry out a new round of layoffs and salary cuts, and fire all the company's redundant employees."
All the employees at the table, including A Bing, were shocked when they heard this.
After Mr. Qiao said this, he didn't know how many more departments would be cut off, and no one knew whether the butcher's knife would fall on his head.
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man in the middle of the conference table immediately raised his hand.
"Mr. Qiao, this is inappropriate."
The person who spoke was none other than Xu Wenhu, general manager of China Shipping Branch of Longguang Group.
His rank in the company is not low, reaching P9, and he is also the estranged brother of Cheng Wujin, one of the four directors, and is a second-tier core manager of the company.
Hearing what he said, Mr. Qiao turned around and said, "Oh? Why is it inappropriate? Let's talk about it?"
Xu Wenhu said plausibly: "Mr. Qiao, the company cannot make money because the entire real estate industry has been in recession in recent years. Not only is our revenue poor, other real estate companies are also facing a cold winter, and as far as I know, they are also laying off large-scale layoffs."
Salary cut.”
"I think that at this time we should bite the bullet and increase the salary package to attract all the outstanding talents laid off by other companies."
“In this way, when the cold winter is over, we will overtake the company in one fell swoop, and may even ascend to the throne of China Overseas’ No. 1 Real Estate Company in one fell swoop.”
"As for where the money for salary increases will come from, I think the group can appropriately expand its debt scale and provide loans to pay employees' salaries."
What he said gave everyone here a new direction of understanding.
Under the cold winter, others are shrinking their fronts, but if Longguang dares to expand in the opposite direction, maybe it will be completely bigger and stronger when spring comes.
Just doing this requires taking a lot of risks, and the company will have to take on a lot of new debt.
Mr. Qiao hesitated.
After some discussion, she decided to leave the choice to the entire company's board of directors.
"In view of the current situation, whether the company should lay off employees and reduce wages, or take loans and raise wages, everyone has your say."
The people at the table looked at each other.
Soon, a group of people, led by iceberg beauty Li Lingwei, raised their hands in support of salary cuts.
Another group of people, led by Xu Wenhu, also raised their hands and supported the salary increase.
Mr. Qiao counted the heads.
Embarrassed.
There are actually the same number of people holding both views.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly looked at the corner of the conference table.
"Xu Bing, stop playing with your phone."
"Tell me, what decision should the company make?"
Chapter completed!
