427: First encounter with Waterloo

Two days later, the rumors about Feiniao Investment had spread all over the internet.

reporters had dug up Feiniao Investment, which was hidden behind the science park, and written about them as a company guilty of heinous crimes.

Tong Dehai had been busy with public relations these past few days, having no time at all to deal with Wang Ye, leaving Wang Ye with a few days of free time.

As usual, Su Yue arrived at Yuantu Investment early in the morning and sat in his office.

Seeing that Su Yue had nothing to do these past few days, Lan Zijun couldn't help but come to his office.

Looking at her, it seemed as though she found Su Yue being idle a very painful thing.

When Su Yue sensed that Lan Zijun wanted to arrange other tasks for him, he quickly waved his hand at her: "I'm leaving soon."

Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue with surprise all over her face: "General Manager Su, where are you planning to go soon?"

Seeing Lan Zijun looking at him, Su Yue instinctively placed Wang Ye's information on the table.

Two days had passed, and he needed to go to the factory to see, lest Wang Ye's production stagnate.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Su Yue glanced at the number on it casually, a smile appearing on his face: "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

He turned on the speakerphone on his phone and placed it on the table: "President Wang, how is the progress of robot production on your side?"

Wang Ye listened to Su Yue's voice, his face full of excitement: "My progress is very good, it can be initially sold tomorrow or the day after."

Robots produced definitely need to be placed in a marketplace, otherwise, if they don't operate for a long time, they will definitely have problems.

Mechanical items need to be used occasionally, otherwise, it's very likely they will have problems.

Su Yue learned that Wang Ye had completed the preparatory work for production, his face full of excitement: "Then do as you see fit."

Lan Zijun saw that Su Yue had given up his desire to go, her face full of incomprehension: "Why aren't you going anymore?"

Su Yue heard Lan Zijun's slight incomprehension and laughed: "We are just his investment group, not partners."

If he appeared there rashly, it would have the suspicion of acting as an agent for sales.

As the Vice President of Yuantu Investment, he had to consider everything carefully, lest he give others an opportunity.

Lan Zijun saw Su Yue's foresight was so far-reaching, she nodded slightly: "There is that possibility."

While the two were chatting, security personnel walked past the door in a panic, as if they had something to tell Lan Zijun.

Because Su Yue and Lan Zijun's offices were next to each other, he could tell the security personnel's route at a glance.

He pointed in the direction of the door: "The security personnel seem to have something to tell you, do you want to go take a look?"

Lan Zijun turned back with surprise on her face and happened to see the security personnel entering from the door.

The two looked at each other, and Lan Zijun quickly said to him: "Do you need me for something?"

Yuantu Investment hadn't had any major issues recently, so he didn't believe there was any trouble at the door.

The security personnel heard Lan Zijun asking him and quickly placed a business card in front of the two: "He wants to see the two of you."

Lan Zijun looked at the name on the business card, her brows furrowing slightly: "This name... I seem to have heard it before."

Su Yue winked at Lan Zijun, signaling him to let him see the business card.

The previous work for Yuantu Investment had always been handled by Su Yue, only he would likely know the person on the business card.

With just a glance, Su Yue understood and burst out laughing: "Tong Dehai? Isn't he the Boss of Feiniao Investment?"

When Lan Zijun heard Su Yue's voice, she immediately slapped her head: "Right, why is he here?"

Su Yue told her everything about the press conference, which made Lan Zijun burst into laughter.

Originally, Tong Dehai thought that by arranging for the science park to take action, he could honestly sit back and reap the benefits.

No one expected that the reporters would actually dig up the person behind it.

Having no other choice, Tong Dehai's only chance was to find Su Yue and see if he could help.

Lan Zijun glanced at Su Yue and couldn't help but say: "Should we meet him? I think we should."

It's better to avoid trouble than to stir it up. Feiniao Investment and they were in the same line of business, there was no reason for them to be on opposing sides.

Su Yue saw Lan Zijun looking at him, took a deep breath, and looked at the security personnel: "Bring him up."

The security personnel quickly agreed and walked outside.

Just from the security personnel's expression, it was clear that he must have been waiting at the door for a long time.

Otherwise, there was no reason for them to come up looking for someone, after all, Yuantu Investment had never had such a precedent.

It didn't take long before the security personnel brought Tong Dehai to the office door.

Su Yue saw Tong Dehai standing at the door with a bitter expression on his face and immediately walked up to him: "General Manager Tong, what brings you here?"

How could Tong Dehai not know that the mastermind behind the incident was Su Yue? He took a deep breath: "What are your conditions?"

He understood that Yuantu Investment had spent so much manpower and resources, it definitely wasn't just to deal with him.

Unless he offered suitable compensation, Yuantu Investment had no reason to let him go.

Su Yue saw Tong Dehai looking at him, turned back, and glanced at Lan Zijun: "We didn't do anything."

On the surface, they merely found reporters to expose the science park; they didn't directly confront Feiniao Investment at all.

No matter who said it, Yuantu Investment was staying out of it.

Tong Dehai didn't listen to Su Yue. He took out a bank card from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. I will never dare to covet the robots again. Please let me off this time."

Neither Su Yue nor Lan Zijun touched the bank card on the table, their expressions changed slightly.

As the true controllers of Yuantu Investment, the two of them certainly wouldn't want such a small amount of money.

Su Yue pointed at the bank card on the table: "If you take your bank card away now, we can still talk."

Sitting in their position, it wasn't about putting money in their pockets just because they had it.

When Tong Dehai saw that the two's expressions were a bit off, he quickly put the bank card back in his pocket.

He understood that calming the storm could only rely on the two people in front of him. If he offended them even slightly, he would most likely go bankrupt.

After his actions, Su Yue had lost the interest in joking and returned to the other side of the desk.

"Wang Ye's robots are what your Feiniao Investment wanted to acquire. It has nothing to do with me. You should talk to Wang Ye."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Su Yue had given him a method, which was to have him persuade Wang Ye.

As long as Wang Ye had no intention of pursuing responsibility, Su Yue would not pursue his responsibility no matter what.

Tong Dehai understood Su Yue's meaning and subconsciously looked at Lan Zijun in front of him.

In his opinion, it was useless for only Su Yue to speak, after all, he was just the Vice President of Yuantu Investment.

Lan Zijun saw Tong Dehai's gaze and waved her hand: "He is in charge of this project, I don't manage anything."

Every project has its own Director. Lan Zijun had thrown the entire robot project onto Su Yue.

Tong Dehai received the clear indication from the two and quickly walked outside, as if wanting to persuade Wang Ye.

After he left the office, Su Yue and Lan Zijun chatted for a while in the office.

After reaching a consensus, the two decided to go to the factory to see Wang Ye's sales.

No matter how good Wang Ye's robots were, if they didn't get their money back, their investment would still be a losing business.

Su Yue drove the car to the factory entrance with ease and found a spot to park.

Originally, he thought Wang Ye would definitely find a crowded place to sell robots, but who knew he chose the factory entrance.

The pedestrian traffic here wasn't much, and most of the people coming and going were employees from the nearby factories.

Lan Zijun looked at Wang Ye, who was vigorously promoting, with a speechless expression: "Most people who come here to see robots don't have the ability to buy them."

Ordinary people simply had no use for such robots; they were just gathering around the stall to watch the spectacle.

Su Yue listened to Lan Zijun's complaint and also nodded: "This is indeed Wang Ye's problem, no wonder he can't make money."

He clearly had sufficient technology, but his business sense was too weak, he couldn't even find the right location for sales.

Suddenly, Lan Zijun opened the car door, wanting to go over and remind Wang Ye.

Before she could take a few steps, Su Yue blocked Lan Zijun's path: "President Lan, I think we should give him some space."

Whether he sold any or not, it was only one day wasted.

But Wang Ye would know in the future that selling here was useless, he had to choose a more suitable location.

Lan Zijun saw Wang Ye looking at him and subconsciously nodded: "Then we'll just watch from here?"

Before Su Yue could say anything, a familiar car stopped in front of Wang Ye's stall.

Su Yue pulled Lan Zijun to the side, lest Tong Dehai put on an act in front of them.

Only where they couldn't be seen could they clearly see if Tong Dehai had improved.

Now, the two of them still held leverage over Tong Dehai.

If he were to kick them while they were down, Su Yue could make it impossible for him to ever recover.

In just ten minutes, Tong Dehai walked down from the stall with a smile on his face, holding an invoice in his hand.

Su Yue and Lan Zijun exchanged glances, their faces full of surprise: "This... you bought a robot over there?"

Tong Dehai placed the invoice in front of the two and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I bought a robot. I couldn't invest, so I bought one."

Su Yue looked at Tong Dehai's sincere appearance and patted his shoulder: "The matter on the internet won't continue to escalate."

The reporters were originally their people. As long as Su Yue made a call to the reporters, they wouldn't delve deeper.

Otherwise, it was very likely that the reporters would continue to dig deeper and write about all of Feiniao Investment's past scandals.

By then, Feiniao Investment would essentially have no way out.

When Tong Dehai heard Su Yue telling him to rest assured, he nodded with a smile on his face: "Then I'll leave it to the two of you."

In order not to bring negative influence to the two, Tong Dehai obediently walked outside.

Su Yue watched Tong Dehai leave and slowly walked up to Wang Ye, finding Wang Ye's face full of worry.

When he saw two familiar figures appearing in front of him, he quickly came up to Su Yue.

"General Manager Su, I've been selling here for a day and only sold one robot. This way, we can't recoup our costs."

Robot production requires costs, and Su Yue certainly didn't want him to lose money on the robots.

Su Yue saw him looking at him and took a deep breath: "Your robots should be targeted at high-end consumers."

Currently, the people who come here to see are low-end consumers who simply don't have the financial means to make a purchase.

When he heard that Su Yue wanted to target consumers, he then began to ponder the group of people who could afford robots.

In just a few seconds, he reacted and slapped his head: "Right, why didn't I think of that?"

He had always thought about this problem with his own mindset, so he hadn't thought about the issue of target consumers at all.

Wang Ye glanced at the robot beside him and couldn't help but say: "It seems I can only put them away temporarily now."

Su Yue nodded slightly: "Tomorrow, look for those marketplaces. I believe some high-end users will promote it as soon as they buy it."

Even the two of them were particularly fond of this robot, so they believed others would also be particularly fond of robots.

Wang Ye saw that Su Yue had given him an idea and readily agreed: "Then I'll do as you say."

Lan Zijun originally wanted to say something, but Su Yue grabbed Lan Zijun and led her to the side.

"Let him do as he pleases. We're going back to the company. I need your help with something."

Lan Zijun readily agreed and followed behind Su Yue. The two of them sat in the car.

Su Yue glanced at the rearview mirror and couldn't help but say to Lan Zijun: "President Lan, I think we should seek benefits for the people below us."

Yuantu Investment has so many projects under its belt, yet they haven't communicated or built relationships with those people.

In case someone approaches those Bosses to discuss cooperation, it is believed that some Bosses will still be moved by profit.

From Su Yue's standpoint, he naturally didn't want such a thing to happen.

Lan Zijun heard Su Yue wanting to secure some benefits for those people, her brows furrowed slightly: "Your meaning..."

Su Yue nodded slightly: "We can use this opportunity to do a favor. We can ask him to buy some robots and use the robots as gifts."

The price of the robots is very affordable. They just saw the price of the robots, and they believe everyone can afford a robot.

And things bought by oneself have a different meaning from things given by others. Su Yue wanted to see if they could give them to those people.

Lan Zijun received Su Yue's clear indication and fell silent, as if pondering the matter in her mind.

In just a few minutes, Lan Zijun spoke: "Then I'll leave this matter to you to handle. I will send you the list."

Some projects were still under negotiation, so she definitely couldn't let those Bosses get a bargain. Only the partners on the list would receive rewards.
