The office he was usually familiar with now he didn't dare to set foot in.
My heart is filled with fear.
Finally... he gritted his teeth, bit the bullet, and knocked on the office door.
"Enter."
A calm voice came from inside.
Han Zhijie's heart also sank to the bottom.
He might hear anyone's voice wrong.
Only Mr. Ma...he couldn't have heard it wrong.
As the founder of Penguin.
After so many years, penguins have grown from a seedling to a towering tree.
To outsiders, these companies look like behemoths.
They are just branches growing on the tree.
Mr. Ma is the decision-maker who fertilizes and provides nutrients to the giant trees.
He can decide anyone's life or death.
Once a branch grows crooked, it will be pruned.
The supervisor did not lie to himself.
Mr. Ma actually came early in the morning.
This is not good news for Han Zhijie.
Thinking about it with your knees... you understand that Mr. Ma is here to investigate.
Open the office door.
Han Zhijie entered the office very anxiously.
In front of the desk inside.
Standing there was a middle-aged man in a suit with his back turned to him.
"Mr. Ma...why are you here?"
Even with his back turned, Han Zhijie recognized the other person at a glance.
Mr. Ma turned around.
His gentle and young face was revealed, with fair skin and wearing a pair of glasses.
"If I don't come back, Penguin will be completely destroyed in your hands!"
Mr. Ma, who had always been gentle and gentle, now had a sharp look on his face and scolded mercilessly. He directly threw all the documents in his hand at Han Zhijie: "Look at the good things you have done!"
As an entrepreneur.
Especially at the scale of Penguin.
He knows well...that it is not easy for companies to survive.
Each step.
It's all like walking on thin ice.
Therefore, he is extremely cautious in everything he does, and there will be no mistakes at all.
The company has also been guarding its own industry. Although it has been expanding, it does not dare to cross the red line.
He himself rarely appears in the public eye.
The purpose is to prevent competitors from seizing the problem and making a big fuss about it.
He would never have thought of it.
There was no problem at the headquarters, but one of its film and television companies, which had nothing to do with the red line, actually created a trap for him that was bigger than the sky.
Early in the morning, he was bombarded with countless phone calls.
The board of directors immediately held him accountable.
It made him a little confused.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Mr. Ma learned of the series of measures Han Zhijie had taken against Zhou Xing's Nile Crocodile Venture Capital Company.
Almost suffocated.
This Han Zhijie really wants his penguin to die!
The document hit Han Zhijie on the head and scattered all over the floor.
Han Zhijie silently picked up the documents.
The first page of the chapter was a notice of fines issued by the superiors. The figure of more than 20 billion was enough to make him tremble every time he saw it.
Even if he sells all his shares.
Even the hole of more than 20 billion cannot be filled.
Then he turned to the next page, and what followed was that Penguin's valuation had evaporated by more than 50 billion US dollars.
follow closely.
His hand trembled slightly.
Because the following are all about the documents sent by Penguin shareholders, the accountability of Mr. Ma, and the accountability of Penguin Film and Television.
"Mr. Ma...I..."
Han Zhijie opened his mouth, but was immediately interrupted by Mr. Ma.
He pointed at Han Zhijie's nose and cursed: "I will give you shares in the company and let you serve as the president of Penguin Film and Television. Is this how you repay the company?"
"I really didn't expect what happened to Nile Crocodile Venture Capital. He was too domineering. He took over more than a dozen projects as soon as he started. If we put him in the film and television industry, we will definitely be greatly affected.
Influence."
Han Zhijie explained hurriedly.
"Then why don't you report it to headquarters!"
Mr. Ma asked coldly.
"This is a normal activity of the company. We have used it many times in the past, and the headquarters has not interfered. It is obviously tacit approval, so I did not report it this time."
Han Zhijie secretly glanced at Mr. Ma and lowered his head with a guilty conscience: "It's obviously just a business competition, but I didn't expect that Zhou Xing would be so ruthless and not hesitate to use his family connections."
"In business competition, why don't you open your eyes and take a closer look at who you are competing against!"
As soon as Han Zhijie said this, Mr. Ma became very angry: "You know very well the momentum of the Zhou family. Has it been that you have been too comfortable in the company these years, which has caused your head to break?"
"I appointed you here because I value your personal abilities and experience, as well as your maturity and stability in your work. You are several years older than me. How did you do such a stupid thing?"
"Or, you are dissatisfied with us and the headquarters, so you want to put us all to death!"
Being slapped with such a big label immediately made Han Zhijie panic: "Mr. Ma, I have no such idea at all, but I didn't expect that the Zhou family would ignore the rules and rashly take action in ordinary business activities."
He expressed the questions that had never been resolved in his mind.
The Zhou family has such a big origin and system.
Every move you make affects your whole body.
Characters like this.
Being low-key and restrained is their first policy.
He couldn't figure out why he would go to war with his son because of some trivial matters in the company.
They are so...
Aren't you afraid of arousing public opinion and being attacked by a group, so that your opponents will find an opportunity and take advantage of it to launch an attack?
"Ah......."
However, Mr. Ma sneered: "I didn't expect that a person of your age could be so naive."
"The Zhou family are like tigers, everyone avoids them, but you... take the initiative to come and provoke them, just because they are young and easy to bully?"
"That's the only son of the Zhou family. No matter how much he doesn't care, he still shows the most basic concern. To put it another way, if you were so angry, you wouldn't call him back.
Do people really just ignore it?"
Mr. Ma has always believed that he would rather do nothing than make mistakes.
Be careful in everything.
Try not to touch anything that could threaten the company.
Han Zhijie is quite different.
Facing other people's approach, take the initiative to provoke them.
Business competition... forget it, the Zhou family really doesn't care about normal business activities, even if Zhou Xing takes the initiative to call back.
It is impossible for the Zhou family's parents to use the family's energy to bully wantonly because of such a trivial matter, because they cannot compete with others.
So and so.
How can the Zhou family gain a foothold in China?
This Han Zhijie is stupid because business competition is full of flaws.
Treat Zhou Xing's company as an ordinary company, and use the previous methods, relying on the big company Penguin, you can do whatever you want.
The scale of Penguin is very large, but in the eyes of the Zhou family, this is nothing.
Let people find loopholes.
Penguin Pictures, together with other companies, blocked the platform of Nile Crocodile Ventures.
This has crossed the line.
Once you have a reason to take action, you will naturally not be polite to them anymore.
Others couldn't find anything wrong with it at all.
Han Zhijie couldn't even understand such a simple truth. It was true that the authorities were confused.
Of course...he would never tell Han Zhijie these things.
Both in his eyes and the board of directors.
Han Zhijie has become an outcast.
He caused such a big trouble and continued to stay in Penguin, which was a blatant provocation to the Zhou family.
Mr. Ma cannot do such a thing.
Han Zhijie was speechless by Mr. Ma's words. The matter had already caused such serious consequences, and he knew his situation in his heart.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to move in Penguin.
He raised his head and said with a bitter expression: "Mr. Ma...then what should I do now?"
"What should I do...Now that I know how to ask, why didn't you ask me in advance when doing this?"
Mr. Ma said angrily: "I only thought about making up for it after causing such a big thing. There is still a mess at the headquarters waiting for me to finish it. I don't even know how to explain it to the board of directors!"
Han Zhijie lowered his head after being scolded and remained silent.
After venting his temper, Mr. Ma said with a tired look: "You have to solve the problem yourself."
When Han Zhijie heard this, his eyes lit up, and he felt a little hope in his heart and said, "Mr. Ma, do I still have a chance to make amends and give the company a chance to vindicate my guilt?"
Mr. Ma’s meaning is very obvious.
What he wanted was for him to apologize to Zhou Xing. After all, he was the person involved. If he could seek forgiveness from Zhou Xing, maybe there would be room for maneuver in the matter.
"It's not to the company. You caused Penguin to suffer such a big blow and caused extremely serious losses. How do you still think about staying in the company?"
Mr. Ma said expressionlessly: "Since you did this, the board of directors has decided to remove you from your position. It is impossible for you to stay in the company. At the same time, because of your arbitrary opinions, you have caused such a situation to the company."
If the harm is serious, the company will also sue you for compensation in accordance with the law."
"What you do has nothing to do with the company, it's just for yourself."
"As for whether to go or not, it's up to you."
Mr. Ma finished speaking.
He left the office in low spirits and prepared to return to Pengcheng.
Han Zhijie is a very talented person...but that is already the past.
Now he is no longer enough to be called a talent. After all, he is getting older and is starting to become faint.
There are many things that few young people have yet to see through.
Until now...he still has illusions. I don't know if I should say that he is too naive, or that he is unwilling to believe in reality and has been escaping.
Mr. Ma has no intention of taking care of him anymore.
Inside the office.
Only Han Zhijie was left.
He stood there in a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Zhou Xing's move.
The one who bore the loss for him was actually Penguin.
He himself has not suffered any damage. After working hard at Penguin for so many years, he has already achieved financial freedom by virtue of the shares he holds.
Even after leaving Penguin, he can still retire and enjoy life.
But Penguin decided to fire him and hold him accountable.
It was destined that Penguin would not let him go.
With his personal assets, it is absolutely impossible for him to be able to compensate Penguin for its losses.
The shares in hand cannot be held 100%.
The debt may be only the smallest, and it may even land you in jail.
After working hard for most of my life, I have reached this point, and suddenly I returned to before liberation overnight.
He regretted it......
I regret that I should not have targeted Zhou Xing and tried to exclude Nile Crocodile Venture Capital Company, which also became part of my performance.
It's just that he overestimated his ability.
At the same time, he also underestimated Zhou Xing’s temper.
It's just... In this world, there is no regret about taking medicine.
