Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Shut Up or Get Lost _1

Seeing one person take the lead laughing, a few others began to guffaw as well.

Someone chimed in:

"Yuri, you just don’t get it, do you?

What era are we in?

We’re in capitalist society!

Do you understand what a capitalist is?

With money, you have everything, and you can be the chairman!

Even if you’re a hundred times more professional, what good does it do when you don’t have an uncle who is the richest man?!"

Wang Ye was a bit surprised. How could these people be so senseless and still make it to their current positions?

Perhaps it was just because these factories and design bureaus really didn’t have anything worthwhile, so nobody coveted their positions, allowing them to survive until now.

However, it had been over a decade since the Former Soviet had disintegrated, and these old men still didn’t seem to see the situation clearly.

Did they really think that their seniority made them invincible?

...

Sitting leisurely at the head of the meeting table, Wang Ye saw Alexander standing awkwardly to the side, his lips moving a few times, seemingly at a loss for words.

Wang Ye waved his hand, signaling Alexander to sit down.

Yelena, the assistant who followed Wang Ye, brought a chair over and sat behind him, opening her laptop to prepare for meeting notes.

Seeing that Wang Ye did not respond to their provocation, the older executives felt somewhat deflated.

They had the guts to utter some sarcastic remarks, but they wouldn’t dare do anything more excessive.

After all, he was also a chairman appointed by the Duma Council...

Wang Ye began, "The United Aviation Group has been established for some time now. This is the first meeting I have convened since taking office as chairman. Let’s start with introductions; get to know each other a bit."

Alexander quickly started, "Chairman, I’ll go first then. I am the current general manager of the Mig Group. I joined the Mig Group right after I graduated from university twenty-eight years ago..."

He briefly introduced his work history.

Wang Ye listened and nodded. According to his understanding, this Alexander was indeed very capable.

The Mig Group he managed was also the strongest and largest among the companies that were merged in.

After Alexander finished his self-introduction, the others also introduced themselves in turn.

However, when they introduced themselves, they seemed to boast a bit due to their seniority....

...

After listening to everyone’s self-introduction, Wang Ye nodded and spoke:

"Let’s move on to the next item. The Group has just been established. I have taken up the position of chairman, but as you all know, I have many other responsibilities. I can’t devote all my energy to the Aviation Group. So, we need to select a general manager to handle the group’s daily affairs."

Once he said this, everyone in the meeting room perked up immediately.

The status of the Aviation Group was not low!

If you look at its rank, it was equivalent to a ministerial level!

And this young man said that he usually doesn’t handle the group’s affairs. If they were appointed as the general manager, wouldn’t that mean they have the power...

So, someone immediately jumped in and said, "The chairman is right! The United Aviation Group really needs a working general manager. After all, you don’t know much about the aviation industry. Well, I will bravely undertake the responsibility of being the general manager. I’ve been in this industry for over thirty years, and I’m very familiar with these companies."

The other people also chimed in, expressing their strong interest in the position of general manager. However, Alexander did not say anything.

The meeting room suddenly fell into a mess.

At first, Wang Ye did not respond and just quietly waited for them to finish.

After a while, seeing that they still didn’t stop, he became impatient.

He slapped the table, startling the arguing leaders who turned to look at him.

Wang Ye then said, "I have already made up my mind about the candidate. Alexander, you will serve as the General Manager of the Group. Yelena, take note of this. Tomorrow, we will announce this name under the name of the board of directors."

Alexander, who was seated next to him, looked delighted and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, chairman. I will not let down the board’s trust in me. I will strive to manage the group well and complete the tasks set by the board!"

Just as Wang Ye was about to say something, he heard an outcry from below.

"Why should it be him? The selection of the general manager should at least be discussed in the board of directors, right? Is this something you can decide alone? Moreover, as the general managers of several branches, we definitely know more about the group’s affairs. I think the board should listen to our opinions."

The one speaking was Yuri, the hot-tempered general manager of Tupolev Company.

The others also echoed, saying Wang Ye’s decision was too rash and he didn’t even ask for their opinion.

Alexander looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Wang Ye had long grown impatient. He didn’t want to take over the United Aviation Group to begin with. It was like forcing a duck onto a perch, with the Speaker, that old fox, plotting against him.

Being the Chairman not only wasted a lot of his time but also required a large amount of his money.

To be honest, the return on this investment was not high...

In this era, with the information Wang Ye had, he could invest anywhere, and the return on investment would be hundreds or even thousands of times higher than this!

Reluctantly coming to serve as Chairman, his subordinates unexpectedly showed him no respect!

He frowned slightly and replied directly:

"Listen to your opinions?

Do you think highly of yourselves!

I represent the board of directors. What I say is the final decision of the board of directors!

You either shut up or get out!"

As soon as he said this, the meeting room fell silent.

The heads of the branches didn’t expect the young Chairman not to give them any face...

But at this point, if they backed down, they wouldn’t have any chance of gaining prominence in the future, at least not in front of this Chairman!

Again, it was Yuri, the General Manager of Tupolev, who took the lead. He stood up abruptly, and with an angry face, said:

"Are you really asking us to go?

To be honest, I’ve wanted to quit this damn job a long time ago. If not for my many years at the company and the feelings I have for it, I would have gone abroad to earn big money!

I’m not afraid to tell you, I don’t care at all.

As soon as I nod my head, I could receive a job offer letter from abroad offering an annual salary of a million US dollars tomorrow!"

Except for Alexander, the others also stood up.
