Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui, among others, cleaned up the items on the desk. The contract was signed, and the material suppliers had sufficient stock, and the subsequent work all belonged to Zhao Corporation.
"Is there enough startup capital?" Zhong Qiaohui felt very concerned after listening to Sister Yao and Fu Yubo discussing the related quotations.
In Brazil, the inflation rate was high, which meant that prices were high—many things that were cheap domestically could double in price in Brazil. Of course, if transportation costs were excluded, maybe it wasn’t that uneconomical. In any case, it was somewhat uneconomical, but there wasn’t enough time.
Zhao Corporation was known to be enduring difficult times.
At this point, it seemed there was some insider news that first leaked from Zhao Mengjin.
Sister Yao shook her head when she heard this news. Fu Yubo withheld his comments, a smile hinting at his lips, as he thought that he had known it would come to this.
The difficulties of Zhao Corporation were not just about the issues of production capital that the business faced, but as everyone knew when issues arose, no one could blame the things, only the people.
Therefore, in order to rebuild the employees’ confidence in the corporation, it was essential to make a decision to change the leaders.
Previously, Zhao Corporation did not have a CEO position, only a General Manager and a Chairman, held by the Zhao Family’s eldest son, Zhao Zirong, and the family patriarch, Father Zhao, respectively. Zhao Family’s second son, Zhao Zirong’s brother and sister-in-law, controlled the finance department of Zhao Corporation.
This clever arrangement, initially prevented the scenario where the two brothers would fight over the family property, while allowing them to work together for the family business.
Because of this, if now considering changing the General Manager, being a family business, Zhao Corporation was unlikely to hire someone outside the family for this critical position. Switching positions between the elder and the younger siblings could only make it seem like the Zhao Family was fooling outsiders, lacking sincerity and unlikely to move people’s hearts.
In the balance of considerations, a new position emerged, equivalent to a General Manager, but possibly surpassing the authority of the Zhao family members in practice and leading the company forward—CEO. Perhaps, this could win over the hearts of the employees without causing the Zhao Family to completely lose their power. Fresh chapters posted on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒·𝗇𝗲𝘁
However, since it was a bold reform, it was necessary to select a person who would convince everyone for this new position to manifest the Zhao Family’s resolve to rally.
This person needed to be capable and trustworthy to both the company’s employees and the Zhao Family.
Taking on such a big responsibility during a crisis wasn’t something anyone could pick up and excel in. And now, there was such a person who was already showing signs of helping Zhao Corporation out of its troubles. Wouldn’t the Zhao Family use such a person?
The reason Sister Yao shook her head was that she thought the Zhao Family was daydreaming—considering Gu Nuan herself was an employee of Changda, would they expect a Changda employee to take a leadership position in Zhao Corporation. Then, first of all, from a human resources perspective, would Gu Nuan have to resign from Changda?
Perhaps Zhao Corporation and Xiao Family had intricate close ties, but in the end, they were two different families. Gu Nuan was still Xiao Yebai’s wife.
Gu Nuan was competent, and she should fulfill her duties to the Xiao Family as a daughter-in-law, not to the Zhao Family.
Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng heard this news and felt the same about the likelihood being low. However, their reasons were completely different from Sister Yao’s.
"Second Brother will never agree. He hates it when people cling to his wife the most. They didn’t consider that last night when Sister-in-Law went to work outside, Second Brother already had a sullen face there," said Zhan Dapeng, shaking his head as he recalled the changes in Xiao Yebai since he got married, unsure of what to say.
