Chapter 1208 1308. Alternative Punishment
The atmosphere became solemn for a moment, Liu Jing and Liu Song looked at each other without giving in at all.
Liu Zhi looked at the competing brothers and sisters, sighed, and finally said: "Xiaojing, I won't ask you to go through the back door for us. I just want to know the accuracy of the news and be prepared in advance. LE Group is prepared Cut off the mobile phone business.”
Liu Jing, who was competing with her brother, heard her father's words and her eyes widened in surprise with an expression of disbelief.
You must know that the mobile phone business is one of the main businesses of the LE Group. Although it is not a core business like computers, it definitely ranks among the top three in the group.
Surprised for a moment, Liu Jing instantly turned on the analysis mode. If her father hadn't deceived her, then it was time for LE Group to cut off its mobile phone business. It seemed that the situation was worse than what was rumored.
"Can you give me a prepared answer now?" Liu Song asked unhappily.
Liu Jing glanced at Liu Song, smiled, and replied calmly: "I don't know where you heard the news, but my answer remains the same."
After saying this, Liu Jing turned around and walked towards the entrance without waiting for Liu Song's reaction.
She was no longer in the mood to chat with her mother. She didn't know whether this kind of leak was spread in a small area or on a large scale in the industry, but this kind of strategic decision-making leak would definitely have an impact on the company.
Fortunately for Liu Jing, this plan was just an idea and had not been put into action. Otherwise, the trouble would have been big.
"What kind of attitude is this? Dad, why didn't you say anything about your sister?" Liu Song was stunned when he saw Liu Jing turning around and leaving. After coming back to his senses, he felt full of anger.
Liu Zhi glanced at Liu Song dissatisfiedly, and one look made the angry Liu Song calm down.
"Your sister is very good." Liu Zhi was silent for a moment, feeling a little annoyed at Liu Jing's attitude, but it was only for a moment, and then he was filled with joy and appreciation. As the helmsman of a super group, he We should have this decisive attitude of not recognizing our relatives.
After admiring it, Liu Zhi's brows did not relax. As the helm of a super group, LE mobile phones have become a burden to LE Group, and he must throw them away.
But which one the successor is looking for is what worries him the most.
After all, even if it declines again, with the manpower and material resources invested by LE Group over the years, plus a pile of production equipment and materials, even if the business is sold off, it will not be able to be done with a few hundred million or more yuan.
There are actually only a few technology companies that can accept it, but if sold to these technology companies, LE mobile phones will inevitably be severely priced.
Because the products and businesses overlap with those technology companies and the technology is lagging behind, what LE Group can receive from selling LE mobile phones to these technology companies is actually the value of a brand, but it is different when selling it to Fanxing.
Fanxing has never been involved in the mobile phone business before. Its own backward technology, manufacturing materials accumulated in the warehouse, and even the staff of the mobile phone business can all be packaged to Fanxing, and the selling price will naturally be higher.
The key is that Fanxing is rich, very rich!
This is like playing Golden Flower. Fanxing does not have any trump cards in Liu Zhi's opinion, so LE Group is not afraid that it will lose even if its hand is as small as possible.
But his daughter's cautious attitude towards the enemy made Liu Zhizhi frown and his heart sank. Although he knew the news in advance through a special method, it seemed that it was not easy to facilitate this deal.
That's why he specifically asked his wife to call his daughter home to find out what she was doing, but he didn't expect that he was in trouble.
"You've really grown up." Liu Zhi smiled, but did not change his original intention because of Liu Jing's attitude. Fanxing was still his first choice to pick up Pan Xia via LE mobile phone.
On the other side, as soon as Liu Jing walked to the door, her mother Xu Fei chased her out.
"Why are you leaving now? Didn't you tell me that you would stay at home to rest tonight?" Xu Fei asked dissatisfiedly. She had a lot to say to her daughter.
"Mom, I'm sorry, something happened at the company. I have to go back." Liu Jing said apologetically, fearing that she would not be able to keep her promise to her mother.
"You kid..." Xu Fei wanted to complain again, but she didn't know what to say. Can she still let her daughter give up important work just to chat with her?
Liu Jing put on her shoes in a hurry, not daring to look at her mother. She was afraid that seeing Xu Fei's resentful eyes would soften her heart and make her want to stay.
Just when she was about to open the door and escape, Liu Zhizhi stopped him.
Xu Fei turned her head in surprise. Her father had never given her a gift since she was a child. What happened this time...?
"Don't worry about leaks. The reason we know is that your brother accidentally saw your laptop in the living room." Liu Zhi explained.
He didn't want to make things troublesome. If Liu Jing started to 'review' the inside of the company, no matter how he acted, it might cause dissatisfaction. After all, anyone who was innocent but was suspected would be dissatisfied.
Moreover, this is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the board members. If someone stops Liu Jing's censorship in order to protect the company's popularity, it will also damage her prestige.
Furthermore, if this matter becomes a big deal, or if a review is carried out with no results, it may cause panic within Fanxing Group and give up the possibility of business development.
Of course, even if Fanxing continued to prepare to get involved in the mobile phone business after the review was fruitless, the matter would have become a big deal and it would no longer be a secret. There were more than just LE technology companies in the circle that wanted to sell their mobile phone businesses, and Liu Yizhi didn't want to have a few more competitors out of thin air.
However, after he told the truth about the matter, Liu Jing was the one who was hit the hardest.
She was full of anger and was ready to return to the company to conduct a severe review, but she didn't expect that before she started, her father told her that the real source of the leak was herself.
The handbag slipped to the ground, and Liu Jing looked at her father in disbelief, her eyes full of anger and disappointment.
After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Liu Jing came back to her senses, bit her lip and picked up the handbag on the ground. Without saying a word, she turned around and opened the door to leave. Xu Fei reached out to stop her, but as soon as she took half a step, she was stopped by Liu Yizhi on the side.
"Let her go." Liu Yizhi sighed. He knew that his son's behavior was very tricky, and he didn't agree with it, but he couldn't blame his son because this news was very important to LE Group.
All he could do was tell Liu Jing the truth, and not let her foolishly search for the "truth" that she could never find.
Liu Jing sat in the car, threw down her handbag, and lay on the steering wheel and couldn't help crying.
She had no intention of arguing with her family about right and wrong. President Liu didn't care about shirking responsibility. She was angry about her carelessness. This was her own mistake. It was her relaxation that leaked the company's secrets.
She felt that she had failed Nie Wei's trust in her, and she was also wronged, because this injury was caused by her family. When she thought about going home in the future, she would be cautious and defensive, and her whole heart was filled with loss and frustration.
After crying for a long time, her makeup was all smudged, and Liu Jing finally relieved a little from the sadness.
Liu Jing took a few deep breaths, took out her mobile phone, and called Nie Wei. She didn't want to hide this mistake. As for what kind of punishment Nie Wei would give her, Liu Jing didn't know, but no matter what the punishment was, she would accept it humbly.
When Nie Wei answered the phone, he was in the villa on the South China Sea, enjoying the sea breeze and eating a delicious seafood dinner with Shu Chang.
Seeing that it was Liu Jing who called, Nie Wei was a little surprised. He gestured to Shu Chang, got up and walked to the lawn beside him before answering the phone.
"Boss Liu, what's the matter?" Nie Wei asked directly. He had just met Liu Jing in the morning. If there was nothing, Liu Jing would not have called him.
"I'm sorry, Boss Nie, I made a serious mistake." Liu Jing admitted directly: "I leaked company secrets."
Nie Wei frowned, but did not get angry immediately. Instead, he asked very calmly: "Be more specific."
"I was using my office laptop at home, and I was careless. My brother saw the message that we were interested in getting involved in the smartphone business. Now my father has known about this. He seems to be interested in selling LE phones to us." Liu Jing organized her words and said.
She didn't want to make any excuses for her mistakes. Wrong is wrong, and she has the courage to bear the mistakes.
Nie Wei was silent, and his mind was spinning rapidly to judge the pros and cons of this matter for the company.
He was not angry. After all, the involvement in the smartphone business was not Fanxing's core goal, and even the other party's judgment was wrong. Nie Wei knew that Liu Jing's plan was not to let Fanxing really get involved in the mobile phone market to make mobile phones, but just to find a partner to combine Fanxing's VR technology with smartphones and promote the VR portable devices that Fanxing will definitely launch in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that Liu Jing is not wrong. On the contrary, the mistake she made is unforgivable.
Leaking secrets has always been the most taboo thing for a large group. No matter how important the secret is, leaking secrets itself is a big mistake, not to mention that Liu Jing is the helmsman of this group, which is a mistake on top of a mistake.
"I know, this matter ends with me." Nie Wei was silent for a long time and said.
Punishment is definitely necessary, but Nie Wei decided not to publicly hold Liu Jing responsible for this matter. If the company knew that Liu Jing made a mistake and leaked secrets, it would cause a serious blow to the prestige that President Liu had just established.
"Also, shouldn't you move out? You're over 30, and it's not appropriate for you to live with your parents."
Liu Jing's family is complicated, and Nie Wei must let her make a break with her family, at least to have her own safe zone, otherwise, no matter how careful she is, she may still make mistakes, especially when she has been targeted.
Liu Jing nodded silently. Needless to say, after this incident, Liu Jing was also ready to find a house to live in. In fact, the company's dormitory is not bad. She has been living in the company dormitory when she works overtime.
"It just so happens that I have a vacant house. I will ask Luo Kai to give you the key tomorrow. You can live there. The environment is good, and the neighbors are all big stars." Nie Wei said with a smile. The house he mentioned was the residential building that was once the filming location of "My Love from the Star".
Located in the Starry Business Center, the residents are all first-class celebrities and bosses in the industry. It is a very famous high-end community in Kyoto.
As soon as Nie Wei mentioned it, Liu Jing knew where it was.
"As for your leak this time, I hope you can learn a lesson. As for the punishment, I will increase this year's business target by 2%. Do you accept it?" Nie Wei asked.
Punishment does not necessarily have to be a fine, or a demerit, or a self-review. These monetary or formal punishments are too low-level. The punishment given by Nie Wei is to spur Liu Jing, set a higher goal for her, and make her work harder to achieve it.
Two percent may not seem like much, but for a money-making monster like Fanxing with an annual income of tens of billions, two percent is really not so easy to achieve.
After all, when the company sets its goals for the new year, it is set according to idealization. This goal is basically close to the limit of the company's development in the new year. There may be some room, but it is definitely very small. It is not an easy thing to increase it by two percentage points.
With this extra two percent, I am afraid that Liu Jing and the entire company will have to do their best.
As for the chain reaction brought about by the sudden increase of the goal by two percent, Nie Wei will not bear it for Liu Jing. She needs to bear this pressure herself, which is also an alternative punishment for her.
This is like the teacher assigning homework. Everyone thought they could finish the homework half an hour later, but the teacher suddenly gave everyone more homework. Even if it was not much, the students would definitely complain.
Liu Jing agreed to all of Nie Wei's requests.
Before hanging up the phone, Nie Wei still comforted Liu Jing a few words: "Everyone makes mistakes. You are still young. I am willing to give you time to grow, but remember, as the helmsman of a group, you can make a mistake once, twice, or even more mistakes in the future, but remember, don't make the same mistake and fall into the same pit. This is stupid."
"I remember." Liu Jing bit her lip and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Nie Wei's punishment was difficult and put a lot of pressure on her, but it also made her feel relieved.
"What a good boss." Liu Jing smiled and muttered to herself.
After Nie Wei hung up the phone, he returned to the dining table. Shu Chang asked curiously what was going on?
"President Liu just made a small mistake, and he seems to be crying." Nie Wei said jokingly, but he didn't tell Shu Chang specifically what Liu Jing had done wrong. He had already made it very clear on the phone just now, and the matter ended here.
"What? You're talking nonsense." Shu Chang didn't believe what Nie Wei said. She had seen Liu Jing, a woman who was resolute and decisive, and looked strong as steel. How could she cry like a little girl because of a small mistake?
