Chapter 668: Six hundred and sixty-three, who is the boss?

"Secondly, regarding the company’s financial issue, in the coming period, lawyers will initiate lawsuits against you."

After Gu Zhen finished speaking, everyone present seemed unable to react.

Clearly, no one had expected Gu Zhen to say such a thing.

No one thought Gu Zhen would be so straightforward and simply dismiss them all.

Not even a hint of reluctance, as if the decision to dismiss had been on his mind for a very long time.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

At that time, Tai Ming directly addressed Gu Zhen with a challenge, "Chairman, you can’t be serious."

That’s what he said to Gu Zhen.

"I can formally notify you that you are fired, and furthermore, lawyers will soon file a lawsuit against you,"

he said to Tai Ming.

Tai Ming’s expression turned cold upon hearing this.

He had not at all anticipated Gu Zhen speaking to him in this manner.

Certainly, this scenario was not part of his earlier plans.

"Chairman, do you realize how many merchants our sales department currently controls in the local area?"

He continued speaking to Gu Zhen.

"These merchants only recognize us salespeople. If someone new were to take our place, they might not continue to do business with our Baijiu, and you surely understand how much revenue the company would lose, don’t you?"

He still spoke in a threatening manner to Gu Zhen.

Clearly, he had even communicated with those local merchants beforehand.

As far as he was concerned, he held many chips in his hand to confront Gu Zhen.

He felt he had a very good chance of winning.

Controlling these connections, these clients, was akin to controlling the lifeblood of a company.

If it were any other company, they probably would have had no choice but to negotiate with him by this point.

After all, he was effectively throttling the company’s neck.

However, his threats seemed very naive to Gu Zhen, and more importantly, Gu Zhen felt no sense of being threatened.

Thinking that these chips could intimidate him was just too naive.

He knew a seasoned sales department veteran would never act as recklessly as Tai Ming.

Tai Ming was pushing himself into an abyss with his actions.

"Do you even understand what you’re saying? Do you know what a merchant is?

Every merchant is a businessman, driven by profit. As long as there is a profit to be made, they can cut ties with anyone.

When you can no longer generate profit for them, do you think they will still care about you?"

Gu Zhen felt it was necessary to teach him a lesson at that moment.

Even if just for the sake of the face he had as an employee of his company just a few minutes earlier.

However, it was clear that what Gu Zhen was saying was beyond his comprehension.

He didn’t even understand the meaning of what Gu Zhen had just said.

He nevertheless spoke vividly, "If you want the horse to run, you must let the horse eat well. Chairman, if you don’t offer up the shares of the branch company, I’m afraid my mother will have a hard time working for you.

I’m not a fool, I’ve already consulted, and in many big companies, the senior executives can own shares in the company.

And within the company, he still held certain rights of his own.

"I’m now demanding from the chairman all the rights and benefits that should belong to me,"

he said to Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen wasn’t the least bit surprised upon hearing this.

Clearly, given the intelligence of the man before him, it was impossible for him to have orchestrated the usurpation and blackmail all by himself.

Before this, he must have consulted with many people about this matter.

And quite a few people must have advised him on strategy.

"What rights and benefits do you have? Do you really think you’ve made any tangible contributions to the company?

If you truly had any ability, giving you some stock options as an incentive wouldn’t be an issue.

But take a look at yourself in the mirror, what the hell do you know?"

"During the company’s initial stage, the technical aspects were provided by the tech department, the publicity was done by the marketing team.

And what about you? What could you achieve? The concept of Xiaobai liquor, that’s mine; the formula for Xiaobai liquor, also mine; the marketing for Xiaobai liquor, I funded it.

I’ll tell you, whether it’s Zhang San or Li Si, if I put him in that position, he’ll make money; if I tell him to leave the table, he’ll have nothing to eat."

At this moment, Gu Zhen didn’t hold back at all and directly scolded him.

He truly hadn’t expected to encounter such an ignorant fool within the company.

Compared to the salesperson who seemed a bit more mature, this Tai Ming was simply out of his mind.

Xiaobai liquor isn’t an unsellable product. It’s not something that can’t be sold.

On the contrary, Xiaobai liquor’s current popularity doesn’t entirely depend on the sales level.

In other words, even if today we were to completely replace all employees in Xiaobai liquor’s company, it wouldn’t affect the upcoming sales of Xiaobai liquor.

From the very beginning, Xiaobai liquor was never meant to rely on the sales department.

And the fundamental reason for Xiaobai liquor’s popularity is marketing.

Marketing and sales differ by only one word, but they are two entirely different natures.

This Tai Ming in front of me obviously fails to realize this issue.

"Chairman, if you really do this, I guarantee you’ll regret it," he said to Gu Zhen, anger flaring.

Gu Zhen, however, directly said to him, "Whether I’ll regret it, it’s hard to say, but I hope you won’t when you’re sitting in court. If I remember correctly, you used to frequent nightclubs last month.

Before that, someone reported to me the things you did in the nightclubs.

Out of consideration that you were an employee of my company, I didn’t take any measures. But now that you’re no longer an employee, and you’ve brought such a negative impact on the company, it’s time to start following legal procedures."

Gu Zhen said this to him all of a sudden.

The previously arrogant Tai Ming froze instantly upon hearing Gu Zhen’s words.

He looked at Gu Zhen with a face that seemed incredulous.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Zhen knew for sure that he hadn’t misspoken.

Before this situation, he was already aware of such matters.

It was that last time when someone mentioned that an employee from their company frequented those nightclub venues.

At the time, Gu Zhen didn’t pay much attention to it.

But now, that had become his leverage, and the person who frequented the nightclubs was clearly the very Tai Ming before him.
