The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 319: Chapter 310: War of Words

Lin Mu arrived at the Bayi Headquarters meeting room in his conspicuous Bugatti Vides. After a brief introduction from Chen Dawei, Lin Mu basically got to know the leaders of the departments and section chiefs.

"Hehe, hello everyone, I’m Lin Mu, I believe I’m not a stranger to you!" Lin Mu chuckled, then continued, "The purpose of my visit today is to let everyone understand that transforming from a state-owned to a private enterprise will only bring benefits, no downsides!"

After speaking, Lin Mu had Chen Dawei distribute the drafted contracts he had prepared. noveldrama

"Everyone can take a look at this new contract I plan to implement. Rest assured that your positions will not change. The fundamental change lies in the management system. Basic salaries will be reduced, but this doesn’t mean you’ll receive less pay; instead, it aims to boost work efficiency and improve motivation. The current efficiency speaks for itself, doesn’t it? I’ve reviewed the past few years of performance. The assessment targets I set are based on past efficiencies. Hitting those targets isn’t hard, and reaching them will double your salaries. You should understand which side is more beneficial, right?" Lin Mu stated.

The managers and directors present nodded in agreement. For them, as long as they energized their work efforts, achieving the previous performance levels was not difficult, and they could even earn more. They had no desire to drift aimlessly through their days; given this scenario, why wouldn’t they agree?

"Boss Lin, there’s one thing I don’t understand: what does the annual ten percent layoff clause in the contract mean? Does it mean we’re all at risk of being dismissed?" Section Chief Li from the sales department pointedly questioned Lin Mu.

Lin Mu chuckled and replied, "Section Chief Li raised a crucial question, so let me explain here. The layoffs aren’t about mandatory dismissals but rather targeted at those with problematic mindsets who don’t want to work and just want to idle. After all, the factory isn’t a welfare agency or a free bank. There’s no need to support them for life, I’m sure you all understand. Of course, if everyone works hard and creates great value for the factory, no boss would lay off such employees! Hehe, ultimately, our goal is for everyone to earn more money, not to make things difficult for you. Our shared goal is to create more wealth and save costs. If we lay off capable workers, wouldn’t the boss end up with nothing?"

Lin Mu’s response was adept, directly clarifying Section Chief Li’s concerns along with those of the group. The message was clear: as long as everyone works diligently and achieves the previous years’ performance, there will be no layoffs, and there will even be salary increases!

"Given the current situation, how can you ensure the Steel Company returns to its former performance? It’s not enough to just talk; you’re aware of the current situation of the Steel Company, and it’s very challenging to restore performance. Aren’t you making things difficult for us?" Section Chief Li asked pointedly.

"Hehe, rest assured, we have the capability. As the saying goes, ’If you don’t have a diamond, don’t try to do porcelain work.’ To be honest, even if the Steel Company is currently a money-draining pit, we can inject funds confidently. As long as everyone works wholeheartedly, I will provide you with the best conditions, which will only be better than the previous years, not worse. Under such circumstances, there’s no reason not to succeed, right?" Lin Mu asked in return.

Section Chief Li glanced at Lin Mu. His answers were indeed clever; yes, with good conditions and sufficient funds provided, what reason could there be not to improve performance?

"Anyway, what I’m saying is this: I’m not afraid to upset anyone. Work diligently, and I won’t let you down. If anyone tries to be sneaky and cunning, then, sorry, the door is always open for you; you’re not welcome here. The Steel Company won’t suffer from having one more or one less person—these days, if you have money, is it hard to find willing workers?" Lin Mu’s words were realistic.

The managers and supervisors in the room looked at Lin Mu. Although his words were a bit crude, they were truthful. If they were the boss, they wouldn’t spend money maintaining a group of non-working individuals either!

"Hehe, that’s all I have to say. In short, under my leadership, you earn by your true abilities. If you genuinely benefit the company, I can afford to pay even a million or ten million a year. But if you lack ability and aren’t willing to exert effort, I won’t give out a cent. So, does anyone have any objections?" Lin Mu smiled and asked.

The department heads and managers on both sides of the meeting room shook their heads. They were satisfied with Lin Mu’s explanation because he was a pragmatic boss, speaking with clear targets. They also saw how transforming from a state-owned to a private company would benefit them!

’For oneself, even the heavens wouldn’t tolerate lack of self-interest’—as long as there are benefits, it doesn’t matter whether it’s state-owned or private. A money-making enterprise is a good one!

"In that case, the meeting is adjourned. I hope the leaders of each department will communicate with your subordinates and explain the company’s current situation. Work well, and I won’t mistreat anyone!" Lin Mu added.

"Alright, everyone understands what Boss Lin said. Our company is set to advance, so let’s give a round of applause!" Chen Dawei, standing beside Lin Mu, interjected.

The people on both sides of the meeting room clapped enthusiastically, while Section Chief Li, at that moment, discreetly took out his phone and sent a message to the lackeys assigned by the leadership!

After the meeting, Lin Mu, accompanied by Chen Dawei, headed downstairs. As they reached the staircase, they saw the place surrounded by a crowd of workers!

"Damn it, there are indeed traitors; these bastards are stirring trouble in the dark!"

Seeing such chaos, Lin Mu cursed inwardly. He had come quietly this time precisely to test whether anyone was causing trouble in the shadows. Logically, the workers should have been at work, and he had only just arrived half an hour ago, so how would the workers know?

Thus, gathering so many people in such a short time indicated that among the mid-level management, there were definitely those intent on rebelling, eager to sow chaos and confusion!

Fortunately, Lin Mu had anticipated this and deliberately held something back. He casually picked up the phone and called Earth Wolf.

"Earth Wolf, is everything ready?"

"Boss, rest assured, everything is set here!" Earth Wolf responded.

"Good, come over immediately." Lin Mu’s eyes flashed with confidence as he hung up the phone.
