With that he stormed out of the meeting, leaving the senior executives questioning between themselves how they would achieve this, and whether they should leave the company before Lu Jinhu destroyed it in an unrestrained attempt to destroy Hou Enterprises.One even said, it was a pity that the CEO had left the country with his wife for two weeks and would be un-contactable for that time, otherwise he could have put restraints on his son.
They looked at the clock and realised that in their discussions they had lost 15 minutes of their allotted time.
When Lu Jinhu walked back into the meeting, he demanded ”What plans have you come up with.”
The allotted spokesperson, who knew that he would be fired if this was not liked ”Sir, come up with two plans, with the steps to implement them.I will hand them to you to review.We have a list of other ideas that we will continue to work on.”
With that, Lu Jinhu took the documents and quickly read over the plans.”Implement them, but I want another 10 things to be implemented by Monday night, as we have to have Hou Enterprises starting to crumble within 10 days, otherwise you are fired.”
Lu Jinhu stormed out, and everyone looked at each other, knowing fully well then had nothing else that was even viable for the Vice-CEO and that would achieve his goals.Three people commenced implementing the approved actions, while everyone else continued to work on options.
Monday morning, Hou Yi and Anna after having spent a quiet weekend simply relaxing at home, were sitting down having breakfast, both ready to head into Hou Corporation, when Hou Yi received a call from Assistant Wang.
”CEO Hou, as you anticipated Lu Corporation, have started to act against the company.”
”Doing what?”
”Firstly to be seen as more charitable they have announced a funding imitative for service for children, with significant donations from all the other major companies in the town.The on-line abuse and picketers outside Hou Enterprises, calling for the government to immediately liquidate us for failure to be a good corporate citizen is growing.They have used social media well to achieve this in such a short time.”
”Secondly, they are attempting to undermine the Australian deal again.I understand details of what is happening in Australia is being emailed to Madam Hou, but here the attack is directed at Madam Hou.Part of what they are doing is claiming having legal staff from various countries on secondment, undermines local law graduates and lawyers.There is claims that we intend to employ only foreigners, and pointed to Madam Hou working here the week before last dealing the previous Australian legal matter.”
