Chapter 434 The Company's Predicament
With these contracts in hand, it meant that over seven hundred researchers from Tiancheng Pharmaceutical officially became employees of the Yang Family Pharmaceutical Company.
Yang Long said with a triumphant smile, "These are just the first batch. Next, we will poach everyone from the laboratory."
"Also, we must bring Li Hui and his team over. This will be the biggest blow to Tiancheng Pharmaceutical."
"Once Li Hui's entire team is poached, our Yang Family Pharmaceutical Company won't be able to keep a low profile, hahahaha..."
Yang Weishan, standing beside him, sneered, "Don't worry, we already know Li Hui's weakness."
"Before Chen Yang arrived today, I showed that video to Li Hui. Li Hui immediately knelt down and agreed to join our pharmaceutical company on the spot."
"If it weren't for that good-for-nothing Chen Yang interrupting, Li Hui would already be with our company."
Yang Long said, "Uncle, there's no rush. Li Hui can't escape anyway. How about this: Tomorrow morning, we'll send people to pick up these seven hundred employees openly. They will submit their resignations to Tiancheng Pharmaceutical tomorrow morning, and our Yang family will publicly slap Chen Yang in the face."
"I will be there personally tomorrow. I want to see what a wonderful expression that good-for-nothing Chen Yang will have."
Liu Xin, standing nearby, also said triumphantly, "I really didn't expect that Chen Yang, that useless man, would be appointed president of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical by Liu Ran."
"Does she really think a man like Chen Yang can be uplifted? A loser is a loser! This incident is meant to show Liu Ran that the husband she married is a complete nobody."
"She is destined to be disappointed if she insists on packaging a nobody into a successful man. Brother Long, let's go to Tiancheng Pharmaceutical together tomorrow to pick up the employees."
The next morning, Chen Yang drove towards Tiancheng Pharmaceutical.
Today was the day the Yang family's capital chain would break and they would collapse completely. It was also time to give the company's employees a good talking-to.
Although Chen Yang had not paid much attention to Tiancheng Pharmaceutical before, now that it was a task assigned by his wife, he had to handle it properly.
He stopped his car in front of the company building and walked purposefully inside.
The security guards at the entrance saw Chen Yang and immediately bowed. Employees arriving for work also nodded at him.
However, their eyes flickered, and they whispered behind Chen Yang.
"Oh, Mr. Chen is really unlucky to encounter such a thing right after taking office."
"What can be done? The opponent is the Yang family, the entire Yang Group! No matter who becomes president, they're doomed!"
"I think our Mr. Chen is also a pity. He became president of the company at such a young age. With some experience, he would have achieved great things, but now, his experience has become a stain."
"There's nothing we can do, it's fallen to Mr. Chen, what else can be done?"
Chen Yang heard these discussions and ignored them.
As he entered the pharmaceutical company's lobby, he saw hundreds of people holding documents and queuing. The long line snaked around several times and extended towards the human resources department upstairs.
Chen Yang's brow furrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he strode towards the human resources department.
The lobby of the human resources department was in chaos. Liu Bin stood on a table, furious, pointing at the employees in line and shouting, "Do you know what you're doing? This is illegal!"
"Moreover, each of you has at least a master's degree. Where is your professional ethics and conscience? Eaten by dogs?"
"You have signed confidentiality and non-compete agreements. When you resign now and go to the competitor's company, have you thought about it? Your actions are called colluding with the enemy and betraying the country on the battlefield, traitors. Are you all deaf? Go back immediately, you are not allowed to resign."
However, all seven hundred people lowered their heads, and not a single one walked back.
Liu Bin gritted his teeth in anger, pointing at the people below and saying, "Do you think the law is lenient with the masses? Do you think because so many of you are resigning, you've become bolder? And you think Tiancheng Pharmaceutical can't sue you?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about it."
At this moment, an employee looked up at Liu Bin and said, "Vice President Liu, don't bother anymore. We are just the first batch to resign, and there are more to come."
"We can't help it if we don't resign, their offer is too good."
"Also, the research and development center of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical will become an empty shell, and Professor Li Hui's team will be taken away. What's the point of us staying here?"
"We don't want to be cannon fodder. People move to higher places, and water flows to lower places. This is the natural order, there's nothing we can do."
Liu Bin's head spun upon hearing this.
Just then, a hand touched his shoulder. Liu Bin looked down and saw Chen Yang.
Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Liu Bin immediately jumped down from the table and said with shame, "I'm sorry, President Chen. It's my incompetence, I can't handle this situation. I'll leave it to you."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll take care of it."
Then Chen Yang said to the HR department staff, "Someone, collect all their resignation reports. Make sure to keep them safe. Start collecting them now."
The R&D center employees looked at Chen Yang with some shame.
Chen Yang walked with his hands behind his back and said, "You don't need to be ashamed, nor do you need to feel embarrassed. The business world is like a battlefield, and you must be responsible for every choice and action you make!"
"Come on, everyone gather in the lobby. Don't worry, I will approve all your resignation reports."
"No matter what reason you give for resigning, the company will not withhold any of the salary that should be paid, nor will it withhold any compensation. Similarly, you will not be exempt from the legal responsibilities you should bear."
After that, Chen Yang walked towards the first-floor lobby. The HR department staff were somewhat surprised by Chen Yang's calm demeanor.
Then, dozens of HR department employees immediately began collecting resignation reports from the seven hundred-plus researchers.
Soon, the seven hundred-plus researchers stood in the first-floor lobby, while other employees watched from a distance.
Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads in helplessness.
Liu Bin let out a long sigh and returned to his office dejectedly, with his hands behind his back.
Liu Bin knew this was an unwinnable business war, and both he and Chen Yang were bound to lose.
If Chen Yang had found a way to protect these employees earlier, avoid contact with the Yang family, or taken other actions sooner, perhaps he could have effectively countered the Yang family's poaching.
But now that it had come to this, Liu Bin felt that Chen Yang was bound to lose, and Tiancheng Pharmaceutical was also bound to lose.
Moreover, perhaps this, Qingzhou's number one pharmaceutical company, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical, wouldn't even last a month!
Without the R&D center, Tiancheng Pharmaceutical was just a facade.
At that time, any pharmaceutical company would dare to step on it and take a piece of the pie. The business world was as cruel as a battlefield. Without a foundation and deep roots, a pharmaceutical company would quickly fall into complete decline.
Liu Bin sighed and looked down at an email. It was from a headhunting company, stating that other pharmaceutical companies were offering him generous sums to poach him and invite him to work elsewhere.
Liu Bin gave a helpless bitter smile and murmured, "President Chen, it seems I'll have to resign in a few days too."
