During the process, Smith tried his best to appear relaxed and natural.
However, the headquarters was not too polite to Smith.
They immediately issued him an ultimatum.
Within two days, either resolve the issue or pack his bags and return to Eagle Country.
Smith, of course, tried every means to delay.
"Two days? But there are so many people spreading rumors outside..."
But headquarters clearly only wanted results, not the process.
If he sorted it out, Smith would continue as the head for China.
If not, he would return to Eagle Country in disgrace to accept punishment!
This scared Smith to death.
After all, as a mature top company, Pfizer Group was very strict with its high-level management.
Regardless of your position, if you made a big mistake, you would basically be out of management for good!
What's more, if someone else took over his position, all the past instances of him infringing on company interests would surely come to light.
At that time, he might even face imprisonment!
In other words, once he lost this position, there was a high probability that Smith would spend the rest of his life in prison.
Headquarters directly hung up the phone. Smith's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He stood still and thought for a minute.
"Mr. Smith, should we still call the police?" Li Ming asked cautiously.
"Oh, shit! What police? Li Ming, I'm giving you one day. No matter what method you use, how much money you spend, find the source of these rumors! If you can't find it, rest assured, I will definitely make you pay with me!" Smith roared.
Li Ming's face showed slight embarrassment. Although he knew that Ye Yun was most likely behind this, he obviously couldn't say it!
If Smith knew he had betrayed him, he would definitely kill him!
However, just agreeing to this, it was not normal for him to find it or not within such a short time!
But now that Pfizer Group's headquarters didn't intend to give Smith time, Smith would not give Li Ming time either.
Like headquarters, he only wanted results.
If Li Ming did well, it would be smooth sailing.
If he failed...
Heh heh!
Smith himself was going to be finished, would he still care about the lives of his subordinates?
Helpless, Li Ming could only follow Smith's orders and use all his power to investigate the source of the news.
If there was no money, he would get it from finance. He also went all out to use his past network of contacts.
Some relationships were still in the observation period, and contacting them now might affect future cooperation.
But Li Ming could no longer care. The most important thing was to keep Smith's position.
Everyone in the China branch of Pfizer Group was in a panic because of this incident.
Yet, even so, Smith's eyelids kept twitching. The Westerner always felt like he had overlooked something important.
This incident broke out too suddenly and too fiercely. The other party seemed to know him inside out, always hitting him where it hurt.
Smith knew very well that someone he knew very well was definitely involved, but he just didn't know who it was!
He hadn't ruled out Li Ming, but firstly, Li Ming and he were already in the same boat, sharing prosperity and adversity. The other party had no reason to betray him.
Secondly, there were many things that even Li Ming didn't know about, yet they were still being speculated about by the outside world.
Which bastard was it!
Smith's resentment was so deep that it could not be washed away even if all the seas were drained.
Yet, he was still completely clueless!
After half a day, Pfizer actually found some clues!
When spreading the news to those self-media, one person was greedy and left a QR code, asking reporters to pay for the news!
After spending some effort, the colleagues from the company's public relations department got the contact information of the person who sold the news from the reporters.
After much investigation and confirmation, they received news from that person that all the information was provided by someone called Brother Biao.
Pfizer employees quickly called Brother Biao.
He heard a rough voice. Upon hearing Pfizer Group's intention, he immediately transferred the call to a young-sounding man.
When the man heard that Pfizer was asking about the accuracy of the news, he immediately stopped talking.
"Sorry, I have a meeting soon. If you have anything, please call me back in a couple of days."
With that, the young man immediately hung up the phone.
How could the people from Pfizer Group stand it?
Waiting for two days, and it would be too late!
Therefore, they continued to call.
Brother Biao answered the phone again, asking where the young man was and if he could be contacted for discussion.
Brother Biao just said that the young man was not around and there was no contact information.
As for when he would be available for discussion, it would be in a few days.
The people from Pfizer Group were not fools, how could they not know that the other party was looking down on their low positions?
So they asked if they could talk if they found someone important.
However, this time the other party was very straightforward and said that there was no need to talk, and that face-to-face communication would suffice.
At the same time, the other party also gave the Pfizer Group people an address.
Seeing that it was only an hour's drive from the company headquarters, the head of Pfizer Group's public relations department immediately drove there.
No. 24, Shengyuan Road.
In the office, Ye Yun was training Zhao Han on the sales concept of licorice medicine.
As a secretary, one must learn what each position entails and how to do it well.
This meant that basic positions such as financial accounting and administrative personnel were all in place.
Otherwise, these tasks alone would not have allowed Zhao Han to have time to learn sales concepts.
Even so, Ye Yun was considering whether to let Zhao Han follow Zhang Han to learn.
After all, that guy was a professional, and he was only training temporarily.
When the Pfizer Group people arrived, Ye Yun was too lazy to waste words with them and only said one thing.
"If you want to solve the problem, the consulting fee is one billion. Not a cent less!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the public relations people felt as if they had swallowed a fly.
A trivial rumor, asking for one billion?
Originally, they had thought that matters that could be solved with money were small matters.
After all, for such things, giving a few million at most, or even tens of millions, was already a sky-high price.
Now, the other party was asking for one billion, a hundredfold increase.
They wanted to negotiate, but Ye Yun, citing being busy with work and having no time to entertain them,
kicked them out directly.
He didn't even give the public relations department a chance to bargain.
Ye Yun was very clear about the leverage he held.
Those things could completely ruin Smith!
Either choose a dead end or choose to cooperate with him.
As long as they weren't fools, they would know how to choose.
In fact, even if Smith flew into a rage and chose to fight to the death, Ye Yun was not afraid.
The fish would die, but the net would definitely not break!
The public relations people also realized that Ye Yun intended to ask for an exorbitant price, and knew that staying there would be a waste of time.
Therefore, they immediately reported the matter to their superiors, waiting for their leaders to handle it.
When Smith heard the number one billion, his face turned completely ashen.
