No matter how stupid Liu Dawei was, he could guess what had happened. He was a little flustered and did not dare to look at President Zheng's increasingly gloomy face.
"What the hell is going on! Didn't you say it was foolproof? Why do they want to cancel the advertisement? "President Zheng used his good manners to suppress the anger that rushed to his head.
These were well-known brands and big manufacturers in the country. They had the best driving force. Once the big manufacturers advertise here, the small manufacturers would naturally follow.
This way, they could have a steady stream of advertising income, which accounted for 90% of the newspaper. The reason why they were so keen on stirring up topics was because there was a good social response. It could drive the sales of the newspaper, which in turn drove the advertising income.
"President, the most important thing now is to find out what the reason is." Xiao Du said the correct nonsense.
Liu Dawei said cautiously, "President, I asked President Ge from Datong Furniture City. He said we offended someone."
President Zheng frowned and asked, "Who did we offend?"
Liu Dawei bit the bullet and said, "He didn't say. I don't know."
"Didn't say?" President Zheng slammed the table, "Didn't say? Why didn't you ask!"
It was almost a roar.
If there was no advertising income, it would be difficult for a weekly newspaper like theirs to survive.
The people around them did not want to be unlucky, so they all kept quiet and sat quietly in the conference room with their heads down.
At this time, Sun Yang's phone rang. He could not stay calm when he picked it up.
"Manager Wang, is there a misunderstanding?"
President Zheng listened attentively.
"Manager Sun, I really want to apologize. Our task this year is really tight. I really can't take care of your side. My suggestion is that you quickly find another one." Although the other party was polite, his tone was not to be rejected.
"The contract is for five years! You are breaking the contract and will have to pay! "Sun Yang was anxious. Where could they find a printing unit in such a short time!
"Pay? Aiyo, CEO Sun, I'm not that easily scared. " The other party said without any hesitation, "If you have the ability, then go ahead and sue them. I really don't want to serve you anymore."
"Manager Wang … Hello … Manager Wang …" When he could no longer hear the other party's voice, Sun Yang scolded him angrily.
"What? They said we don't want to print? "President Zheng's face was already very ugly.
"I really don't know." Sun Yang's expression was equally ugly. He was about to continue speaking when the phone rang again. "Hello, Director Niu."
"Hey, Xiao Sun, I need to discuss something with you." The person's voice was very gentle.
"Director Niu, if you have something to say, just say it." Sun Yang had a bad feeling.
"At this stage, the equipment in our factory is aging very fast. You know, we have been expanding production capacity in the past few years. The factory needs to be expanded, the equipment needs to be replaced, and there are many things to do. So, I really can't take over the printing work in your unit."
"Don't …" Sun Yang glanced at President Zheng, gritted his teeth and said, "Factory Manager Niu, let's talk this out. We are a weekly newspaper and we don't have a lot of print runs. Could you please make an exception?
"Oh, it really isn't about money." The other party's tone was still calm, and he said gently, "This time, there's no other way. We really can't adjust in such a short time. How about this? Let's go through this stage. When I've settled things here, we'll still have a chance to work together."
"Director Niu, can you let me die knowing the truth?" Sun Yang could feel the decisiveness in Director Niu's words. It seemed that no matter what he said, it would be useless. However, he must find out why he was unwilling to continue printing for them.
"We're here to do business, so naturally, we have to be harmonious. Harmony brings wealth, and no one can have a good life if they quarrel."
"Yes, yes, Director Niu, you're right. Please tell me the truth. We're also confused here, and we don't know who we've offended."
"You really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
"You put them on the headlines so early in the morning. Of course, they're angry with you." Director Niu said calmly, "They're trying to find trouble with you in a roundabout way. Xiangyang Real Estate, Dida Group, Golden Deer Group, and Yuanda Group all called me … Xiao Sun … You guys are really confident. It's not easy to offend one of them, and you've offended so many."
"What?" Sun Yang was stunned and hurriedly said, "We've never dealt with these units, so how could we offend them? You have the newspaper, you can read it. We've exposed the two unscrupulous manufacturers, Hexia Furniture Factory and Aijun Shoes Factory. We've never offended Xiangyang Real Estate, Dida Group, Golden Deer Group, Yuanda Group, or BMW Group."
The people who were listening were stunned!
How much did they want to die to offend so many companies?
They were all in the newspaper industry, so of course, they claimed to be well-informed. Xiangyang Real Estate, BMW Group, and Dida Group were rich and had extraordinary influence in the country. As long as there were enough topics to talk about and enough sales, they could do whatever they wanted.
However, for Hong Kong-funded enterprises like Golden Deer Group and Yuanda Group, they were key investment projects, and their helmsman was also a patriotic Hong Kong businessman established by the government. They had great influence, so the newspaper did not dare to offend them.
Liu Dawei returned to the conference room from the aisle with the phone and said to President Zheng, "I've asked a lot of people. Some said it was from Hexia Furniture Factory, some said it was from Jingmei Electronics, some said it was from Nonferrous Metals Corporation, Four Seasons Department Store, Polar Printing, Four Seas Hotel …"
He burst out a long list of units in one breath.
"So many?" President Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper. "Does Li He have that much power?"
He still could not believe it.
"And …"
"And what?" President Zheng said unhappily. "Just say it."
Liu Dawei said, "President Ge of Datong Furniture City said that Fu Biao of Xiangyang Real Estate had already said that he would smash our newspaper and break everyone's legs."
President Zheng snorted coldly. "Smash our newspaper? Who gave him the guts! No matter what, we are a state-owned institution! "
Pa la!
The window glass of the newspaper office shattered without warning.
Everyone was startled.
Just as Liu Dawei gathered his courage under President Zheng's signal and looked out the window through the broken glass, a black unknown substance with a terrible stench came toward him.
He couldn't dodge in time and was drenched all over.
"Sh * t!" The tall girl covered her nose and screamed.
Everyone in the conference room ran away in an instant.
"That's too much!" President Zheng was even angrier. He pointed at Liu Dawei and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and wash up!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Once he returned to the office, he dialed the landline on his desk.
"Hello, Secretary Zhao. Hello, hello."
"Old Zheng? You don't come to me without a reason. Just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush. "The person called Secretary Zhao spoke very casually on the phone.
"I want to ask you something. Do you know Li He from Aijun Shoe Factory?"
"Li He? I do know him, but he's not from Aijun Shoe Factory. The manager of Aijun Shoe Factory is Li Aijun. I also know him. He's the hero of the war against Vietnam. Now, he's also a hero of entrepreneurship and a famous taxpayer. He's the role model of the city. What's the matter? "
President Zheng forced a smile and said, "We were retaliated because we reported on Aijun Shoe Factory's illegal and immoral behavior. Just now, our newspaper office's glass was broken and we were splashed with sh * t. Secretary Zhao, please think of a way. If I don't get back at them, I won't be able to face them anymore. "
"Stupid move." Secretary Zhao said without hesitation.
"This group of people are simply hooligans!"
"I'm talking about you. You made a stupid move. Think about it. They donated 800 million yuan to the school. How rich are they to dare to do this? "Secretary Zhao thought for a moment and said," How did you hire them? "
"Seeking truth from facts has always been our newspaper office's principle."
"Stop bullsh * tting. You can't afford to offend this person. Think about the previous Secretary Qiu. You got along well with him. How did he leave his position just like that? If not, why would I be sitting in this position today and have the opportunity to get you to look for me? "
President Zheng said, "He is just a private business owner. He started his business by speculating!"
Secretary Zhao suddenly said coldly, "Old Zheng, I'm only telling you this because of our many years of friendship. If someone else said this to me, I would have hung up the phone. Let me tell you clearly. Self-employed people can't influence politics. But Comrade Xiaoping's speech in the South was very clear: whoever opposes reform, just let them sleep. Reform is to open up. To open up means to export. If you export, you will have foreign exchange. This Li He is a true export and foreign exchange hero. "
"Thank you, Secretary Zhao." President Zheng hung up the phone weakly.
Looking at the messy office, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
"President, Shenzhen Development Bank just rejected our loan. What should we do?" The tall girl looked at the dazed president and asked.
Although the newspaper's income had increased rapidly in the past two years, the funds were far from enough to satisfy the newspaper's strong expansion needs. To expand the distribution range, they had to increase the number of print runs, and at the same time, they had to expand the editing team. Just the funds for vehicles and camera equipment alone was an astronomical figure.
"What should we do?" President Zheng looked at the ceiling and did not give a specific answer for a long time.
At this moment, Li He was clueless about everything. He did not expect a person in the United States to cause such a mess.
With Li He's support, Wu Bo successfully obtained Wenger's printing machine factory. Since then, Polar Printing had more than 50 patented technologies and a large number of R&D teams that had been immersed in the printing industry for many years. Most importantly, he obtained the double-sided printing technology that China did not have. This technology had always been monopolized by Japan, Germany, and the United States.
Since then, he had been immersed in the workshop of Wenger's printing plant.
Li He could not see anyone else.
He could not see the people he wanted to see, but the people he did not want to see kept coming to him. Xiaowei and Lu Bo naturally wanted to see Li He.
