401: Want to change your company name? No way!
"Really? If those two don't curse at me, I'll be laughing with my head in my hands, haha," Cai Chenghan said with a chuckle.
"General Manager Cai, what are you saying!" Han Xiaoguo pretended to be displeased and said, "Just tell me, when have we ever cursed at you?"
"I'm just kidding, just kidding. I'll drink three glasses as a penalty later," Cai Chenghan said with a smile.
"We have to work this afternoon, so we're all drinking beverages, not alcohol," Han Ruoyu interjected.
"Alright, you're all very conscientious and disciplined. I need to learn from you. I won't drink alcohol either," Cai Chenghan said, putting down his wine glass.
"It's fine for General Manager Cai to have a drink. Don't you have several drivers with you?" Xiang Guangming said, "If you drink, just let your driver drive."
"Exactly, just let your driver drive," Han Xiaoguo said, "By the way, why haven't I seen your drivers?"
"They're all next door. I just saw you guys next door, so I came over to say hello," Cai Chenghan said with a smile, "Then I'll just drink this one glass with you."
"No problem. Next time, let's arrange to have a good drink in the evening," Xiang Guangming said with a smile.
"All the important personnel of our company are here today, and Manager Liu is not an outsider. Here, I'll reveal a piece of news to everyone," Cai Chenghan raised his wine glass, swirled it, and then took a small sip. "I plan to change the company's name. Continuously calling it Haizhe Technology has a negative impact on our company."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay: "Change the company name?"
"What negative impact? Our patents were all applied for under the company name Haizhe Technology. After changing the company name, will these patents be lost?" Han Xiaoguo asked, both confused and worried.
"General Manager Hai was sentenced to three years. Our company name uses two characters from Hai Zhezhe's name. It's really not good to still use Haizhe Technology as the company name now, so I've communicated with Deputy Mayor Tan, and he also thinks it can be changed," Cai Chenghan said, "As for what to change it to? I have an initial idea: just use my name. 'Chenghan Technology,' doesn't that sound pretty good?"
Han Xiaoguo and Xiang Guangming were not surprised after hearing this. Cai Chenghan's ambition was well-known. Changing the company name to his own was to show everyone, "This is my company, and no one can control me!"
Liu Xiaolin was also greatly surprised, not expecting that Cai Chenghan and Deputy Mayor Tan were discussing this! Of course, he couldn't let him change the company name, otherwise, he might really usurp Hai Zhezhe's assets!
"General Manager Cai, you want to change the company name? I'm afraid that won't work!" After racking his brain for dozens of turns, Liu Xiaolin finally found a suitable excuse: "Our company just signed a contract with your company, Haizhe Technology, this morning. You actually want to change the company name? Wouldn't our contract be voided then?"
"How could it be voided? If I send you a company change statement, wouldn't that be enough?" Cai Chenghan said indifferently.
"Our company is a state-owned enterprise that has been around for decades, and our contract management is very comprehensive. We absolutely do not allow suppliers to arbitrarily change company names during the contract execution period," Liu Xiaolin said as if it were true, his expression unchanged.
"Ah? You have such a regulation?" Xiang Guangming asked, feigning surprise.
"Yes, our company has always had this regulation, so if you change the company name, our company will immediately terminate this contract," Liu Xiaolin said decisively.
"Does Manager Liu mean that our company can only change its name after our contract is completed?" Cai Chenghan asked, frowning deeply.
"Under normal circumstances, that's how it is," Liu Xiaolin said, feigning anxiety.
"Are there any special circumstances then?" Cai Chenghan seemed a little anxious.
He had always wanted to take Hai Zhezhe's shares for himself, and changing the company name was the first step!
Unexpectedly, the first step was met with an obstacle before it was even taken.
But he was unwilling to give up the order of over ten million, after all, no one would turn down money!
"Special circumstances? I haven't encountered any special circumstances in all my years at the company," Liu Xiaolin said, pretending to think for a moment.
The beautiful women in the Finance Department all had an attitude of not caring, still eating and drinking as they pleased. Han Ruoyu also clinked glasses with the beautiful women repeatedly.
When Liu Xiaolin saw Han Ruoyu clinking glasses with Xiao Hongmei, his head buzzed, and he wished he could kick Han Ruoyu out.
But looking at Cai Chenghan beside him, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Then could I trouble you to communicate with your General Manager? It would be best if you could provide a flexible solution," Cai Chenghan said very politely to Liu Xiaolin, considering the contract worth over ten million.
"How about this, I'll call our General Manager later and ask," Liu Xiaolin replied while thinking about how to stall for time.
"Then call now," Cai Chenghan urged impatiently.
"Alright, I'll go outside and make a call to help you with this issue," Liu Xiaolin said, then stood up and walked out.
He held his phone, pretending to make a call, and walked back and forth in the corridor several times. He saw that the man in the suit in Room 206 was gone, and only a few bodyguards were sitting inside, eating and drinking.
Ten minutes later, after Liu Xiaolin thought of an idea, he returned to Private Room 207.
"How is it?" Cai Chenghan asked eagerly when he saw Liu Xiaolin enter.
"I asked our General Manager, and there is a special circumstance: it's to go through a contract modification process. However, our process is very slow, probably taking about a month. That means if you want to change the company name, it will have to be a month later," Liu Xiaolin said.
The reason Liu Xiaolin gave a month's time was because he thought that perhaps Hai Zhezhe would successfully appeal within a month. As long as he successfully appealed and regained control of the company, Cai Chenghan would not be able to arbitrarily change the company name.
However, Cai Chenghan did not know Liu Xiaolin's thoughts. He felt that a month's time was acceptable and would not hinder his plan.
Under these circumstances, Liu Xiaolin's proposal was approved by Cai Chenghan, and Liu Xiaolin also gained a month to appeal on behalf of Hai Zhezhe. Both sides were quite happy.
Han Xiaoguo and Xiang Guangming naturally understood Liu Xiaolin's meaning; they also did not want the golden brand of Haizhe Technology to be tampered with.
"Thank you, Manager Liu. Thanks to you, we were able to get your General Manager's accommodation," Cai Chenghan said, raising his wine glass, "I toast Manager Liu."
"General Manager Cai is too polite. I just did a small favor," Liu Xiaolin raised his beverage cup and clinked it with Cai Chenghan's, saying, "Today, I'm treating everyone to dinner, and I had the honor of meeting General Manager Cai, so I should be toasting General Manager Cai."
