Chapter 74 Don't forget to give me a little reward
However, Zhao Yuan continued calmly and methodically:
"So how exactly should the compensation be calculated? Let's go with your company's standard compensation of 1 USD per day. Our factory is large, with over 4000 employees. Based on your company's consistent compensation standards, the lost wages for ordinary workers will be slightly reduced to 5000 USD per person per day; as for management, technical personnel, and translators, they will be compensated for their losses at a rate of 1 USD per person per day. I will immediately provide you with a detailed list of the compensation amounts."
As soon as he finished speaking, John's face turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he nearly stumbled and fell off his chair.
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, and he could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes—his previously tried-and-true methods of making money had now turned into a deadly noose, tightly gripping his throat.
John composed himself, took a sip of tea, and immediately said in a pleading tone:
“Mr. Zhaoyuan, I sincerely apologize to you. It was wrong of us to ask for lost wages, but the company must not find out about this. Otherwise, not only will the four of us lose our jobs, but our families will also be implicated.”
"If we hadn't discovered this, our losses would have been incalculable. Did you consider our losses before you did this?"
Zhao Yuan raised his voice and angrily rebuked.
The trillion-dollar amount of anger stunned John and the others.
"Mr. Zhaoyuan, what do you suggest we do to resolve this?"
John asked in a pleading tone.
"You should first show some willingness to resolve this. If you resolve it well, I won't make your affairs public. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Zhao Yuan angrily left a sentence, gave Qi Yong a wink, and went out of the meeting room to have lunch in the kitchen.
Qi Yong caught up with Zhao Yuan and asked:
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
"Director Qi, what's your plan to do? Let's go eat first and talk while we eat. I'm hungry."
Zhao Yuan countered with a question to Factory Director Qi Yong.
"Okay, let's eat first, let's eat first."
Upon arriving at the kitchen, Qi Yong whispered a few words to the chef. Then he led Zhao Yuan into a private room inside.
After a while, the waiter brought out several main dishes.
Zhao Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Director Qi and began to eat heartily.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan! We are so grateful to you! If it weren't for your help, we would have been ripped off by those American experts! On behalf of all the employees in our factory, I would like to express our heartfelt respect to you with this cup of tea instead of wine! After this matter is completely settled, we must have a hearty drink and drink until we're drunk!"
Qi Yong stood up excitedly, held the teacup in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Yuan.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuan quickly stood up as well, smiled and took the teacup, jokingly saying:
"Director Qi, you're too kind! It's good that the problem was handled smoothly. As for the rest... hehe, just don't forget to give me a little reward, Director Qi! From now on, you can rest assured and follow my arrangements. I guarantee you'll be able to get a good deal out of them."
This mission was not for the military, and Zhao Yuan himself had no interest in the so-called medals of honor; coming out to help would also be a loss for him.
Therefore, this time Zhao Yuan didn't want those empty, flashy but meaningless titles. He wanted to fight for what he deserved. Although this idea might seem somewhat vulgar and even a bit mercenary in today's society, Zhao Yuan didn't care at all. After all, who wouldn't want to earn more money to provide a more affluent and comfortable life for themselves and their family?
Upon hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Qi Yong burst into laughter and nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"No problem! No problem! Once everything is settled, we will definitely pay you the full amount of the economic losses you successfully prevented for our factory, along with a generous bonus! However, this situation is indeed quite tricky, and a satisfactory solution won't be easy! It will probably take quite a bit of time and effort. Moreover, as things stand, this batch of goods clearly no longer meets the relevant standards and requirements, so we'll have to reship it from the United States first. This back and forth will take at least a month!"
At this point, Qi Yong frowned slightly, a look of worry appearing on his face.
"Director Qi, what are you worried about? The people who should be worried right now are the Americans and those four experts."
Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Yeah, that's true. Why are we in such a hurry? They're the ones who should be worried."
Qi Yong said.
"Director Qi, we must hold this matter firmly and import their most advanced production line with the least amount of money. We must not let those four experts get away with it either; we want them to return all the money they extorted elsewhere."
Zhao Yuan said.
How much money are you prepared to spend?
"Director Qi asked."
"How much did you pay?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
"2 million yuan has already been paid. Another 2 million yuan is required before installation, and the remaining balance will be paid after installation and successful startup."
Qi Yong said.
"Then let's try to spend only 2 million yuan to buy their latest production line."
Zhao Yuan said calmly.
"Really, that can't be right."
Qi Yong said in disbelief.
"Yes, I'll give it a try. If I succeed, just remember to reward me, Director Qi."
Zhao Yuan smiled and continued eating.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to the conference room.
John and the others then went to the telephone room.
Zhao Yuan told Qi Yong and then went back to the guesthouse to rest.
After leaving the conference room, Zhao Yuan did not return to the guesthouse. Instead, he went directly to the place where he had lived as a child, wanting to see his childhood self and his parents.
Zhao Yuan wanted to return to the small courtyard where he lived in his previous life, but although the geographical location was correct, he could not enter the space of his previous life. It seemed that he had arrived in a different space.
Zhao Yuan realized that the space he was in was a parallel space that did not intersect with his previous life.
After rummaging around for a while and not finding the space where he had lived in his previous life, he stopped and returned to the guesthouse.
This time, he was completely disheartened.
I was about to get some more sleep when I got back to the guesthouse when a waiter knocked on the door to announce that a meeting was starting.
Zhao Yuan had no choice but to get up, tidy himself up a bit, and go to the conference room.
When Zhao Yuan returned to the conference room, everyone else had arrived. John and the others were clearly no longer as spirited and arrogant as they had been when they arrived in the morning; they looked like wilted eggplants, listless and dejected.
