366: Chapter 366: Selling Cheap!

I’m Going to Loot a Burning House!

Thud!

Wu Jie tossed a stack of documents right back to a stunned Wang Taixiong.

“I don’t want any of this junk!”

“Just go directly to the advertising and media department!

I’ll give you fifteen thousand per head!”

Wang Taixiong’s teeth itched with anger.

But he was helpless.

Nodding and standing up, Wang Taixiong took Wu Jie to recruit people.

In the office area of the advertising and media department, nobody was working.

The company had run out of money, water, power, and internet access, so everyone was sitting at their desks playing with their phones.

Seeing General Manager Wang Taixiong coming, they all immediately stood up.

“Mr.

Wang!

When will our wages be paid?

I’m waiting to deduct my mortgage!”

“The wages can be delayed, but social security and housing provident fund can’t be dragged on!”

“They talked so nicely before the acquisition, about going public and making big money, making everyone rich, and look at the result!”

“If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have separated from the group to begin with!”

“Exactly!

President Tang wouldn’t leave us in the lurch like this!”

“Mr.

Wu is here, is the group going to buy back our company?”

“Mr.

Wang, hurry up and transfer the money!”

…

The people were excited, and their voices were noisy.

Wang Taixiong was utterly speechless.

In this day and age, the workplace doesn’t believe in tears or get moved by feelings.

What is corporate culture?

If it allows company employees to win-win make money, that’s awesome, otherwise, it’s rubbish.

Looking around.

Wang Taixiong saw quite a few long-term employees, people who had followed him for years.

Where was mutual suffering and joy?

Only interests mattered!

Everyone comes out to work just to make money, right?

Pie in the sky won’t fill stomachs, and love won’t pay the mortgage.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Taixiong made a calming gesture with his hands.

“Everyone, quiet down, what’s all the noise about?”

“The company is just temporarily experiencing some difficulties with cash flow.

This month, we failed to pay your wages and social benefits on time!”

“Look at you all, getting so anxious.

Have I, Wang Taixiong, been in the film industry for so many years only to lack money?”

“Back in the glory days, you were all full of motivation, but now at the slightest difficulty, you’re wailing to the heavens!”

After shouting, without waiting for a response, Wang Taixiong turned to look at Wu Jie standing beside him.

“I have both good and bad news for you!”

“The bad news is, those of you counting on the group to buy back the company can take a break now.

From my understanding of Tang Xiao, she’ll definitely wait for a bankruptcy liquidation to buy back at a lower price, maximizing profits!”

“But the good news is, Mr.

Wu’s Star Cloud Internet Technology is hiring.

You’ve all been using that popular app these past few days, right?

They’re about to do a big advertising campaign and need lots of talents!”

“Anyone who wants to go with him, go ahead!

He’s covering all the wages I owe you!”

No sooner had Wang Taixiong finished speaking than a rumble erupted in the office area.

A sweep of his eyes.

Damn!

They all stood up.

Looking back, employees from other departments were also flocking over.

“Mr.

Wu, take me!

I have a lot of advertising resources at hand!”

“I’m particularly good at photography and photo editing, not to mention special effects!

Take me!”

“I’m good at model building!”

“I can do editing and dubbing!”

“I’m skilled in streaming media processing!”

…

In an instant, in a flash!

The advertising and media department suddenly became lively.

Many from other departments rushed over eagerly, volunteering to job switch.

After all, they’re insiders in the film and media industry, who doesn’t know that Wu Jie’s company has cash piled up like a wall?

So many celebrities and online influencers had got their hands on bundles of cash!

On one side, the company was broke and could no longer pay wages; it used to rely on laundering money for Tianyuan’s three major families and other tycoons, and now it’s all gone!

On the other side, there’s a sufficient reserve of funds; cash ready to be spent, relying on Tianyuan’s Tang Family and Tanglong Industrial Group, it’s more than just a bright future ahead!

Good birds choose trees to nest in!

People work not for sentimentality.

Now that Wang Taixiong has no money or power, who the hell would stick with you?

The situation was out of control.

It wasn’t just one or two people who wanted to resign!

Glancing around, it seemed like the entire company’s staff had shown up.

It makes sense when you think about it.

Those who were leaders and managers usually had a pretty good salary.

Not to mention that they had private bonuses for helping tycoons from various places launder money.

So, it’s just a month without wages, naturally they could hold on.

Furthermore, since Wang Taixiong held evidence of everyone’s money laundering partnership, they were all damn crickets on the same boat, who dared to flee disorderly?

But regular employees, living on fixed salaries with the occasional paltry bonus, it’s practically negligible.

So, of course, it’s the most powerless ones at the bottom, those who do all the dirty, tiring work, that want to leave.

A massive throng of people, Wu Jie looked around, and it was indeed bustling with activity.

Everyone looked at Wu Jie with eager eyes, full of hope and anticipation.

Women fear marrying the wrong man, men fear joining the wrong line of work.

Making money is hard, but living in a big city is even harder.

Wu Jie could understand the pain of the lowest-level employees.

“Those willing to come with me, I’ll take all of you, but…” Wu Jie pointed to Wang Taixiong next to him, “but whether he lets you go, that’s up to Mr.

Wang here!”

As soon as Wu Jie finished speaking, it was a tragedy for Wang Taixiong.

The highly agitated employees swarmed in.

Shit!

Was this the rhythm of being trampled and beaten by a group?

In his panic and unease, Wang Taixiong immediately shouted loudly,

“Everybody shut the hell up!”

“Ah!

Which son of a bitch stepped on my foot!”

“Scram!

All of you, just fucking scram!

I don’t need you anymore, a bunch of poor workers.

Scram if you want to scram!”

“Go to HR, take your labor contracts.

I don’t want to see any of you for the rest of my life!”

…

Wang Taixiong shielded his face, fearing it would get scratched in the chaos.

But he was overthinking it.

The employees only wanted money and a good future.

With his shouting, they dispersed right away, all heading for HR.

After the crowd scattered, Wang Taixiong was in a sorry state.

“Dammit!

What a bunch of troublemakers!”

Wang Taixiong cursed under his breath, fixing up his slicked-back hair.

It wasn’t long before many people swarmed back in a hurry.

Each had reclaimed their own labor contracts, brimming with excitement.

“Everyone, calm down!

Listen to me first!”

Wu Jie immediately stood on a table and said aloud,

“I’m hiring you guys over there, and not only is your pay and benefits guaranteed, they will also increase significantly!”

“I don’t require you to work nine to five, but you must be diligent and quick when there’s work to be done!”

“Additionally, to get you up to speed quicker after moving, take the equipment from Mr.

Wang’s warehouse immediately!”

“Don’t take the expensive stuff, just the practical ones, things you can quickly put to use in the new company to get work started!”

“After you’ve gotten everything, meet downstairs.

We’ll take inventory of the people and assets, I’ll settle accounts with Mr.

Wang, and then you’ll head to Star Cloud to check in!”

With just a few words, Wu Jie quickly gave everyone a clear plan of action.

After the flurry of activity had died down, Wu Jie hopped off the table, laughing at the sight of Wang Taixiong whose face had turned ashen.

“Stop dazing out and get ready with the calculator!”

Wang Taixiong gritted his teeth, “Fine!

Let’s go settle the accounts properly!”

…

Half an hour later.

Downstairs in the plaza, several buses from Film City Bus Company were lined up in a row.

Over two hundred employees had assembled, spontaneously forming into a square formation.

Each person placed the equipment they were taking with them in front of themselves.

Digital SLR cameras, video cameras, graphic workstations…

Wang Taixiong stood next to Wu Jie and asked for a cigarette to smoke.

This shit really hurt!

With all the grassroots employees gone, what use was the management team?

But Wang Taixiong knew all too well that without money, keeping these employees was pointless.

Each one’s ‘body was in Cao’s camp, but their heart was with Han’.

They had no intention of staying here any longer.

Rather than forcing them to stay and be resented, letting them wait for their rice to cook, it was better to ‘sell them off’.

But the price was damn low!

Only fifteen thousand per person!

The company had spent a lot of money to train these people, from newcomers to skilled professionals.

It was a fire sale!

If they didn’t want to follow me, then they could all fucking piss off!

The headcount was done.

Two hundred fifteen people meant a headhunting fee of over three million.

Adding the fact that there was no need to settle their salaries for this month or contribute to their social securities and housing funds, it felt like earning ten million in an instant!

As for the equipment…

The total value assessed was over eleven million, but Wang Taixiong knew what kind of a cheap trickster Wu Jie was.

He didn’t even bother to haggle, just gave a straight fifty percent off.

The total price: ten million!

Such a bargain!

What’s the most expensive thing these days?

Of course, talent!

Wu Jie was developing an APP for advertising and media promotion.

These people and equipment could be put to work immediately after transitioning.

Taking Wang Taixiong’s movie rights and novel website, what use were they?

To avoid Wang Taixiong backing out, Wu Jie immediately signed the agreement and made the payment, having everyone take their equipment swiftly to the industrial park.

Chu Yunxuan had already made preparations to receive them at the company, giving out a one thousand yuan red packet as a starting bonus, plus back pay.

After a short while.

One by one, the buses drove off, leaving behind cheers and laughter.

And the ten million Wang Taixiong had received hadn’t even had the chance to warm up before a good chunk had already been spent.

Debts were being called in from all sides, and the ten million could only temporarily alleviate the immediate crisis.

But to completely escape the debt crisis, he still needed to sell more valuable assets.

Seeing Wu Jie about to leave, Wang Taixiong quickly asked,

“Brother, why don’t you just buy my novel website as well?

Not for a billion, just one hundred million will do!”

“I can start a new website for less than a million.

Why would I buy your junk?

If you’re selling Film City at a low price, I might consider it.

Three to five hundred million is still possible!”

“Impossible!

The Film City is worth at least several billion.

Are you fucking trying to loot during a fire?”

Wang Taixiong roared furiously.

Wu Jie simply smiled faintly, not bothering to respond, and drove away.

“Dammit!

This is just too much!”

Wang Taixiong was so angry he stamped his feet and bit his lip, wishing he could throw his phone and smash Wu Jie’s Mercedes.

Huang Siwei came up to him and whispered, “Bro, why don’t we contact Tang Xiao?”

“Compared to that scumbag Wu Jie, I’d rather deal with Tang Xiao.

She may be domineering, but at least she’s reasonable!”

Wang Taixiong bit his teeth and said, “Yeah!

She’s not like that scumbag Wu Jie, who always harms others for his own gain, taking advantage of others in their time of need!”

However…

What neither of them expected was that Tang Xiao did pick up the phone.

But the answer she gave made Wang Taixiong so angry that he smashed his phone…
