Interesting!
Even with Qin Mu's magnanimous nature, he was somewhat angry at this moment.
"Aren't you just the vice chairman of Tianke Group?
You're not even surnamed Tian, not a core member of the Tian family, destined to just be an employee, yet you're so arrogant?"
"Han Tianpeng, that's enough, you..."
"Weiwei, don't be hasty."
Tian Weiwei couldn't take it anymore and was about to explode, but Qin Mu stopped her.
"Qin Mu, I'm so sorry, I..."
Tian Weiwei was indeed a little embarrassed. She felt ashamed. Han Tianpeng specifically asked to see Qin Mu, and she thought he was there for a normal exchange and discussion about cooperation, but she didn't expect this guy to come to argue.
A vice chairman of a large group, arguing with a county magistrate?
Is this something someone of his status should be doing?
Even if there are problems with the investment, they should be negotiated slowly and communicated more. Who just flips the table like that?
Even though Tian Weiwei knew her relationship with Qin Mu was extraordinary, she was still genuinely worried that Qin Mu might turn against Tianke Group.
After all, he was ostensibly a county magistrate, but secretly a direct descendant of the Qin family. With that status, Tianke Group was nothing to him.
"No need to apologize to me, I wouldn't stoop to his level."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "No matter who comes to Tianke Group, I won't acknowledge them. I only acknowledge you!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Weiwei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Also, isn't Chairman Han a leader at Tianke Group's headquarters? If you're so pessimistic about the investment in Huaining, then please withdraw your investment as a leader of headquarters."
Qin Mu said calmly, "If you can withdraw, I'm sure I can find someone to take over. If you can't do it and only talk the talk, then I really don't respect you!"
This wasn't just empty talk from Qin Mu!
Tianke Group was indeed very good, a Fortune 500 company, but if Qin Mu really wanted to find another company to replace Tianke Group, that would definitely not be a problem. He flaunted his Qin family background, and countless companies were vying to cooperate with him!
Can such resources be measured in money?
Of course, this method is only used in extreme circumstances; it's best to avoid it if possible.
After all, it's a method that damages the Qin family's reputation.
Every time it's used, it's one less opportunity!
"County Chief Qin, are you trying to provoke me?"
Han Tianpeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously, "I am the vice chairman of Tianke Group. If I want to withdraw my investment, I can do it anytime. Do you think I really wouldn't dare?"
"A mere tens of millions of yuan investment—I can withdraw it right now, without going through headquarters. I have that authority!"
"Don't try to challenge my authority!"
"Normally, I meet with vice mayors, or even mayors. For me to come to Huaining County and agree to meet you is already lowering my standards!"
Men never want to admit defeat in front of women, much less humiliate themselves; they only want to win!
They only want to show their masculine side!
Like Han Tianpeng right now!
Of course, this was also related to Han Tianpeng's experience. He was a top student, studied in the West, and worked in a large Western company, rising to a senior management position. His personal abilities were exceptional. Upon returning to China, the chairman of Tianke Group personally visited him three times to persuade him to join the company and entrust him with managing most of its projects.
Han Tianpeng lived up to expectations, and Tianke Group's market value continued to climb!
With this trust and power at his disposal, Han Tianpeng usually associated with bureau-level officials. Naturally, he looked down on Qin Mu, a section-level cadre.
Even knowing that Qin Mu had some connections, he didn't take him seriously.
Mainly because Qin Mu's background was well hidden. People only knew he had connections, but the extent of those connections was unknown to Han Tianpeng, who was outside the system.
This information gap led Han Tianpeng to mistakenly overestimate his own abilities.
"Then please start withdrawing your investment now, I have no objection!"
Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Qin Mu, a man of steel. His silence shows his refinement and status, but it doesn't mean he'll be bullied or forced to submit!
"Han Tianpeng, are you crazy?"
Tian Weiwei was speechless. What was supposed to be a resolved matter had been blown out of control by Han Tianpeng, almost beyond repair.
"I'm not crazy!"
Han Tianpeng said calmly, "I'm the vice chairman of Tianke Group. I have the authority to make demands on the work of each branch. I'm demanding that you withdraw from the Huaining County market right now. Can you do that?"
"No!"
"I won't agree!"
Tian Weiwei gritted her teeth and said, "This investment is..."
"If you won't agree, then I'll dismiss you!"
Han Tianpeng said coldly, "I don't allow any branch to disobey headquarters' orders. Tian Weiwei, you're dismissed now. Tomorrow, pack your things and report back to headquarters. I'll hand over the Jiangzhou branch to someone else to manage; you don't need to worry about it."
What a madman!
"Weiwei, don't worry, just do what needs to be done."
Qin Mu comforted Tian Weiwei, saying, "I won't eat this meal today, and I won't interfere in Tianke Group's internal affairs!"
"Don't worry, this matter won't affect our personal relationship, but this cooperation is probably off!"
Qin Mu was grateful to Tianke Group for extending a helping hand in his time of crisis, but Han Tianpeng's arrival was too sudden, and he had to find another way!
After saying that, he stood up to leave.
This turn of events was unexpected, and he needed to think of other solutions. If Tianke Group really withdrew, he had to find a company that could take over; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to continue as county magistrate.
After all, Yu Xuewen was watching him closely, hoping he would make a mistake so he could be taken down!
"I'm leaving too, you two can continue talking."
Zhao Yanan didn't care about anything else and quickly followed him out.
Only Han Tianpeng and Tian Weiwei remained at the scene! "Han Tianpeng, is this why you wanted to see Qin Mu today?"
Tian Weiwei coldly questioned, "Do you know that what you're doing will put Tianke Group in danger?"
With the status of Qin Mu's backer, taking over Tianke Group would be a piece of cake!
"Don't worry, I've looked into it."
Han Tianpeng calmly replied, "Qin Mu will come looking for us soon. He can't leave Tianke Group!"
"Once we withdraw our investment, Qin Mu's rivals will try to destroy him. In the short term, he won't find a replacement for us. His only option is to come back and beg us not to withdraw our investment!"
"I've already thought it through. As long as he bows his head, I can retract my previous decision and let Tianke Group continue investing!"
"I just can't stand his arrogant attitude; I'm just forcing him to back down!"
