Chapter 366 Ouyang Qing in Despair
After that, Ye Lingchen got hold of a shocking 79 percent of Wanrong Technology’s shares, granting him absolute power. None could deny his demands!
The remainder of the shares were 12 percent with Xu Nan’s father, and nine percent with Ouyang Qing’s father.
‘They’ve surely benefited from this. Although they hold little shares, with my leaders.h.i.+p, this company will be exceptional. This is akin to being carried along without effort.’
Furthermore, this incident had also greatly raised Y Cosmetics’ popularity. Y Group made its debut in the eyes of the public. Along with that, Ye Lingchen’s popularity points made a big leap forward, growing from over 550 thousand to a total of 636,893.
During that time, Ye Lingchen’s popularity points increased continually. With a few more major incidents, he would be able to reach 1 million popularity points. At that time, he would be able to advance to intermediate skill for the second time!
That night, Ouyang Qing settled all the doc.u.mentation, and then brought the completed doc.u.ments directly to Ye Lingchen’s place.
“Chairman Ye, this is our company seal, business license, and shares certificate.” As Ouyang Qing pa.s.sed the doc.u.ments to Ye Lingchen, her eyes were focused on him.
“Mm.” Ye Lingchen nodded before keeping the doc.u.ments. However, he returned the company seal to Ouyang Qing. “Please pa.s.s this back to Chairman Xu. He’s still the general manager of the company. In the future, I’ll be directing from behind the scenes. Just keep the company operating as usual and listen to my instructions.”
“That won’t be a problem! We’ll definitely do our best to manage the company!” With that, Ouyang Qing stared intently at Ye Lingchen.
“Mm?” Ye Lingchen looked at her and noticed she had no intention of leaving. “Is there anything else?”
Ouyang Qing bit her lips, then took a deep breath. “C-c-chairman Ye, that…autonomous vehicle technology…”
“Oh, let’s put that aside for now!” Ye Lingchen replied nonchalantly.
“What? Set it aside?!” Ouyang Qing stood up immediately and said through gritted teeth, “Chairman Ye, that’s not what you promised me!”
Her downfall was due to the autonomous vehicle, which led to an obsession within her heart. She wanted to rise again with autonomous vehicles. That was why she came begging to Ye Lingchen as that was her last hope.
“Chairman Ye, if we can’t produce the technology for autonomous vehicles, our company will still be questioned. That will lead to our doom. Your investments will all be for naught!” Ouyang Qing stated urgently.
“Even if we could develop the technology for autonomous vehicles, do you think people would believe in us?” Ye Lingchen asked.
His words stunned Ouyang Qing and left her speechless.
At that moment, Wanrong Technology’s reputation was tainted. It was too difficult to turn things around. Even if they successfully showcased their autonomous vehicle technology, n.o.body would believe them in the near future.
“Leave the technology for autonomous vehicles aside for now. We need to take small steps forward,” Ye Lingchen explained calmly while smiling. “I plan to have our company lay off some people! We’re cutting off all production of standard vehicles. From now on, Wanrong Technology will no longer produce standard vehicles. We’ll go for state of the art technology and only produce high tech products!”
Buzz!
Ouyang Qing could only hear a buzzing sound in her ears as she almost pa.s.sed out.
Wanrong Automobile Group was an automotive company. Vehicle production was their lifeline and also an important income source, yet he wanted to cut them all off?
‘Only produce high tech products?’
She felt that Ye Lingchen’s brain was most likely damaged.
“Ye Lingchen, are you kidding me?!” Ouyang Qing roared. Even a strong-willed person like her could stop her tears from flowing. She looked at Ye Lingchen with a soulless expression.
She bet everything on the line, including her dignity, all for a chance to survive. She did not expect it to end this way.
Ye Lingchen kept quiet and returned to his room. He took out some doc.u.ments and placed them in front of Ouyang Qing.
“Have a look at it yourself!” Ye Lingchen said lazily. “In our current situation, would anyone purchase the cars that Wanrong Automobile Group produce? It would only hold us back! Take this chance and cut off all the unimportant departments. Reformation is the way!”
Ouyang Qing pursed her lips. Ye Lingchen’s words had its merits. However, since when was reformation that easy?
She picked up the doc.u.ments skeptically and flipped through them. However, her eyes eventually brightened up, and her body started shaking!
Although her main line of research was in autonomous vehicles, she had a good understanding of intelligence technology as it had a lot of overlaps between them. Within Ye Lingchen’s doc.u.ments, there were many intelligence systems jargon that she knew of, therefore she could easily comprehend them.
It was due to her comprehension that caused her to be in shock.
On it was a technological product. Unlike cars, it was a very small, yet extremely useful product!
Reading from cover to cover, she was too stunned for words. Within the doc.u.ments, everything was listed down in detail, from theory to execution, then production. Moreover, she could not find any flaws!
“This is a new model of intelligent cleaner robot system?” Ouyang Qing took a deep breath. Her voice started to shake. “If this system can be realized, then it will be heavily sought after by every household! The market will be revolutionized!”
Intelligent cleaner robots had already appeared on the market. Although they seemed to be convenient, their actual usefulness was limited. They could only clean up some dust and were very inefficient at that. However, Ye Lingchen’s model was totally different!
Just the features alone, in Ouyang Qing’s eyes, was considered the perfect model of a cleaner robot!
After her initial shock, she looked at Ye Lingchen. “Chairman Ye, are you sure this system can be fully executed?”
Ye Lingchen nodded, then replied, “As of now, Wanrong Technology needs to start from low-cost technological products. This is just the first step. The future products will only be more advanced. Even autonomous vehicles are nothing.”
“Chairman Ye, your plans are very thorough!” The way Ouyang Qing looked at Ye Lingchen had completely transformed. “You’re a really great scientist!”
No wonder Ye Lingchen was so calm from the beginning. He was someone that was blessed with knowledge!
Those knowledge were priceless. No matter what happened, he would not be fearful. That was his foundation!
“Chairman Ye, I’ll be returning now to supervise the company reformation myself!” Ouyang Qing took a deep breath, then turned around and left hastily.
Her heart was racing excitedly. She had a feeling that Wanrong Technology would really turn into an unrivaled tech company in Ye Lingchen’s hands. The technological advancements would definitely transform the world!
Ouyang Qing did not rest for the entire night. Meanwhile, Wanrong Technology underwent a major transformation that very night. The entire vehicle production line was cut and 70 percent of its employees were laid off. All that was left was a small portion of administrative staff and tech staff…
