Chapter 140 Clash
Chapter 140 Clash
Upon hearing Wei Hongsi's seemingly mocking words, Tai Liqun felt a surge of anger, but then felt it would be beneath his dignity to get entangled with this young man, so he turned to look at Dai Songquan, who was in the host's seat.
"Mr. Dai, is this how Zhiwei's reports are now, so lacking in discipline?"
Dai Songquan said calmly, "Young people are humbly seeking guidance and hoping to gain the affirmation of their seniors. I think we should support them more."
Tai Liqun was silent for a moment, then looked at Wei Hongsi and said, "You can continue your report."
Wei Hongsi felt a little regretful that Tai Liqun had calmed down so quickly. However, now that he had spoken, it wouldn't be so easy for him to keep his opinion to himself.
He left Tai Liqun behind and went to President Hua: "President Hua, President Tai thinks my project is alright, what do you think?"
President Hua couldn't help but glance at Tai Liqun, who was not far away, and saw that the other party had a stern face and eyes full of anger.
Wei Hongsi used "you" when talking to Tai Liqun, but used "you" when talking to Hua Zong. The difference was very obvious, and who in the room could not tell the difference?
Therefore, some shareholders couldn't help but wonder if Wei Hongsi's targeting of Tai Liqun was instigated or authorized by Chairman Dai or the current senior management team. Given Tai Liqun's two previous attacks on Wei Hongsi, it's actually quite normal for a young person to retaliate.
Although Hua Zong's conversation with Wei Hongsi was mostly perfunctory, it was clear that the young man had a very solid technical foundation, so he had a good impression of him.
He immediately said, "Your idea is good, and your perspective is also quite high, but you are being a bit too optimistic about the prospects of this project."
Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "Thank you for your comments, Mr. Hua."
He then went to ask President Yu for his opinion.
President Yu smiled faintly and said, "I agree with President Hua's opinion. Young man, you're worrying too much. Where did all these videos that promote negative emotions come from?"
The attitude of these two individuals is that they are not optimistic about the project, which aligns with the majority of shareholders.
Objectively speaking, their comments were relatively fair. Because they were unaware of the existence of the Light Guide Association and were unaware of certain events that had already occurred, they naturally found it difficult to accurately assess the value of the project.
However, Hua's statement was relatively mild, while Yu's words were somewhat harsh.
But for Wei Hongsi, his personal attitude is not important, as long as they can express their opinions.
He thanked President Yu again and returned to the podium to continue his presentation.
With this interactive segment in the middle, the shareholders present became more focused while listening to his report. Even some of the investors and shareholders started to listen attentively.
While giving his report, Wei Hongsi kept an eye on the reactions of the shareholders.
After presenting the projected investment and returns, he again sought Tai Liqun's opinion: "Mr. Tai, do you have any objections to this part?"
Tai Liqun had been harboring resentment ever since Wei Hongsi targeted him. Having been humiliated in front of so many people, he wasn't about to let it go so easily.
Therefore, he listened even more attentively to Wei Hongsi's report, wanting to find an opportunity to teach this kid a lesson.
As an industry veteran, he was quite confident. He could completely crush an arrogant young man with his experience; there was no need for any other methods. Those things were originally intended to target Dai Songquan.
Seeing Wei Hongsi deliver himself to their doorstep, Tai Liqun immediately snorted coldly, "Nonsense, utter nonsense!"
He planned to first set the tone for Wei Hongsi's part, and then refute it point by point.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Wei Hongsi nodded and said, "Oh, so what President Tai means is that it's alright."
Tai Liqun retorted angrily, "When did I say it was okay? Your input-output analysis is utterly illogical and completely unworkable."
Wei Hongsi asked, "Doesn't that just mean 'not bad'?"
Tai Liqun said with a stern face, "Stop making trouble! If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. What do you mean by 'it might work'?"
Wei Hongsi then asked, "So, in the summary section earlier, when Mr. Tai said 'it's alright,' does that mean it's 'alright'? Surely the same word can't have multiple meanings in your interpretation?"
Tai Liqun was so angry that his face turned ashen, and the pencil in his hand snapped in two with a "crack".
"Young man, are you reporting on a project or what?" said the shareholder sitting above Tai Liqun.
Wei Hongsi looked at the man with a smile and said, "What advice do you have, Mr. Hu?"
The shareholder surnamed Hu said, "You asked General Manager Tai for advice, but you're making a fuss over words that have nothing to do with the project. Is this how you report?"
Wei Hongsi said, "I presented this project with a rigorous, pragmatic, and serious attitude. I believed that as a shareholder of the company, Mr. Tai's opinions were also rigorous and objective. Shouldn't he be allowed to question contradictory statements?"
Mr. Hu sneered and said, "Your report itself has many flaws. We just didn't want to argue with you. Did you really think your PPT was that good?"
Wei Hongsi sighed inwardly, "This General Hu is a ally!"
He immediately said, "No matter what problems there are in my report, please point them out to the shareholders and industry veterans. Even if this project fails, it will still be of great benefit to me personally."
Mr. Hu said, "Okay, I'll tell you about it."
He was one of the few shareholders who listened attentively, and he even jotted down any questions he had on paper, immediately pointing them out to Wei Hongsi one by one.
With Mr. Hu taking the lead, several other shareholders spoke, including Mr. Hua and Mr. Yu.
Wei Hongsi listened to the shareholders' opinions and took them all to heart. As far as his report was concerned, most of it was quite fair, and many of the points he had pointed out were flaws.
If it weren't for his earlier interaction with Tai Liqun, which created a little incident, these shareholders wouldn't have been very interested in listening to his report.
However, after realizing that the young man's motives were not pure, they became even more concerned.
For them, voting on a project that was destined to fail was meaningless. However, being ousted by this young man whom Dai Songquan had pushed forward would be a huge loss of face.
These former executives and shareholders have always held the belief that Dai Songquan was wrong to kick them out, and that one day Dai will regret it.
Therefore, Wei Hongsi, who stood on the podium and launched a sarcastic speech, was no longer just seen as a backward figure in the company by these shareholders; he was Dai Songquan's spokesperson.
They can't do anything to Dai Songquan, but they can't deal with this young man either?
The clashes between these former senior executives and shareholders and Wei Hongsi have also piqued the interest of investors and shareholders. After all, sitting idly by is boring, so why not watch something exciting?
