Chapter 15 Company Restructuring

Inside the Yu family's villa, Su Tianyu sat in a chair, taking the lead in setting the tone, concisely presenting the ideas he had summarized over the past few days for everyone's consideration.

Kong ZhengHui pondered for a long while: "The plan is good, but once it really gets going, we'll be completely at odds with the dock gang. There's no way it'll end peacefully without one side going down."

"That's right," Yu Mingyuan agreed.

Su Tianbei, hearing their reactions, stated his thoughts very directly: "Xiao Yu's idea is right. Either we give in now and let them handle our goods, allowing them to make the big bucks, or we try to wrestle with them. If we succeed, we can plant a flag at the dock, completely open up the situation, and open up the channels."

"My second brother is right; that's what I mean," Su Tianyu added, looking at Yu Mingyuan. "But Brother Yuan, the company is definitely under your leadership. You're the helmsman. Whether this works or not, you have to consider it yourself."

Yu Mingyuan picked up his teacup, sat in his chair, and thought for a full two or three minutes before raising his head and asking Su Tianyu, "So, when will this end?"

"It's simple. When the cost of blocking our business outweighs Xu Hu's existing benefits, then he'll correct his attitude and sit down to talk again," Su Tianyu replied softly.

Yu Mingyuan took a sip of tea and said decisively, "Let's do it according to your plan. We'll go camping these next two days and have a get-together."

"Decided?" Su Tianyu stretched his neck cheekily. "Brother Yuan, let's get this straight. You ask me, and I'll give you ideas, but if the final result isn't ideal, you can't blame me."

Yu Mingyuan looked at Gou Liu Zi. "Don't worry. Since your Brother Yuan is sitting in the general manager's office, he can bear the risk. You just need to be responsible for the dirty work, for petty gains, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay!" Su Tianyu immediately nodded obediently.

Yu Mingyuan suddenly stood up and said, with his hands behind his back, "The company is making a temporary personnel adjustment now!"

The three of them exchanged glances and immediately stood up, clapping symbolically.

"From now on, Su Tianyu will serve as the company's deputy general manager, mainly in charge of maritime business, offense, defense, procurement, and delivery. It's all up to you."

"What about the salary?" Su Tianyu asked.

"The salary remains the same, but you can arrange profit sharing," Yu Mingyuan replied.

"That's a bit much. The company doesn't have any business right now. Where am I going to get a share? To put it bluntly, aren't you just trying to get my wisdom for free?" Su Tianyu replied, a little unhappy.

"If you do well, will money still be a problem?" Yu Mingyuan retorted.

"Alright," Su Tianyu nodded with a smile.

Yu Mingyuan turned to look at Su Tianbei and asked, "Are you staying home or coming to my company too?"

"Of course, I'm following the young master!" Su Tianbei replied, not stupid at all. "My big brother is taking care of things at home."

"You'll be the manager of the Hong Kong Trade Department, mainly responsible for cargo transportation."

"Brother is wise!"

"ZhengHui, you'll be the sales manager. If this business can continue in the future, then the three new sales channels that are expanded, as well as the company's original channels, will be handed over to you," Yu Mingyuan said with a smile. "You have to be fair."

"Okay, this is also an empty title for me," Kong ZhengHui replied jokingly. "Alright, I have no problem."

Yu Mingyuan turned to look at Su Tianyu and said with a double meaning, "I'll say it again: If the business can continue, then you must be the company's deputy general manager, not the Su family's deputy general manager."

Su Tianyu, of course, understood what this meant, and immediately replied in a joking tone, "Don't worry, justice and fairness are my middle names."

"Hehe, damn it!" Yu Mingyuan nodded with a smile. "Alright, that's settled then. Let's prepare and then go camping together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Bai walked over with a smile, baring his teeth as he asked, "What are you guys talking about?"

"We just discussed the company's management structure," Su Tianyu immediately replied. "I'm the deputy general manager, Second Brother is the trade department manager, in charge of procurement, and ZhengHui is the sales department manager, in charge of distribution channels."

As soon as Da Bai heard this, he immediately asked Yu Mingyuan, "Damn, what manager am I?"

"Let's just say you're the security department manager for now."

"What does that mean? You're not letting me do any of the money-making stuff, and all the helmet-wearing, fighting stuff is my responsibility?! I've known you for less than three months, and I've been to the hospital for major repairs twice! What exactly does this mean? You want me to use my life to cover up your smuggling?!" Da Bai became anxious.

"Don't get excited, wipe your drool, and speak properly..." Su Tianbei liked teasing Da Bai the most, pulling out two tissues to wipe Da Bai's mouth.

"Get lost!" Da Bai waved his hand directly. "I quit, I'm withdrawing my investment!"

"Why don't you try to persuade him to stay?" Su Tianyu advised Yu Mingyuan.

"Ah, alright," Yu Mingyuan also found Da Bai to be very interesting, and said softly to him, "You stay for now. I have other arrangements for you. But it's not certain that we can continue this business. After things settle down, I'll arrange a suitable position for you."

"...If you want me to stay, then I'll stay for two more days for now," Da Bai was also very easy to talk to, and agreed on the spot.

Although Yu Mingyuan's personnel appointments seemed hasty and full of randomness, everyone actually knew that Yu Mingyuan was assigning team positions to everyone. He was really preparing to plant a flag at the dock, so they couldn't be like a makeshift team anymore, messing around without any division of labor.

After everyone finished discussing, Yu Mingyuan walked to the front yard and said to the girls, "I've decided. We'll find a suitable time these next two days and go camping together."

"All expenses will be paid by Brother Yuan's company?" An Qiqi asked, sitting in a chair.

"No problem, I'll arrange everything," Yu Mingyuan waved his hand and replied. "Out to sea, big yachts, big barbecue, let's do it!"

"Mingyuan's company is awesome!"

An Qiqi and Wa Wa's classmates cheered.

...

Tianhong Port, the dock gang's headquarters.

Tang Baiqing crossed his legs and turned to ask Xu Hu, "The port is blocked, but the other side hasn't reacted. Do you want to put a little more pressure on him?"

"How?" Xu Hu asked.

"Investigate the previous incidents," Tang Baiqing frowned and replied. "I can let the anti-smuggling department get involved and investigate his sales channels. As long as we want to mess with him, his company might have to close down."

Xu Hu pondered for a moment. "I don't think we need to for now. Yu Mingyuan's sales channels still have a large volume of goods. It's easy to cause a stir if we do this now. If he gives in later, it will affect our profit-making. We've already given him the pressure, so let's just wait and see and be patient."

"Damn it, I've been a little upset lately and don't want to wait any longer," Tang Baiqing frowned and replied.

Xu Hu looked at him and suddenly asked, "Are you short on money lately and eager to restart the business?"
