Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 462: Wei Hanyu’s Decision

"These technologies are applied to oil cars, so Yiyang Automobile only uses this technology at the factory in Tula City."

Wei Hanyu began to gather information.

Changcheng’s connections in Russia are much stronger than Chen Yiyang’s.

Therefore, Wei Hanyu quickly gathered the intelligence she wanted.

Yiyang Automobile’s factory in Tula City currently only handles the production of oil cars; the new energy section has been dismantled and moved to Uzbekistan.

But even the remaining part, due to certain technical strength, sells well in Russia and generates very high profits.

"Is it possible for us to directly purchase Yiyang Automobile’s factory in Tula City?"

In the management meeting, Wei Hanyu proposed an idea.

"It’s challenging." The manager from Changcheng’s local branch in Tula City spoke, "Yiyang Automobile has 100% control over the factory in Tula City.

The local government in Tula City only holds 5% dividend shares and cannot interfere with the operation of the local factory."

"It seems you still don’t understand Russia well enough." Wei Hanyu glanced at her subordinates and continued, "Have you seen the recent news about the Russian government confiscating a game company?"

"Yes." The others nodded.

This news didn’t cause much social stir but it shook Russia’s business world considerably.

In brief, this game company isn’t really a Russian company, it’s a Belarusian enterprise.

After the war began, this Belarusian enterprise wanted to maintain a neutral stance.

So, they separated the Russian servers of their most popular two games and handed them over to a company they established local in Russia for operation.

The head office only collected certain licensing fees.

Then their head office moved from Belarus to the European District.

The head office internationally sided with Ukraine, while the local Russian company supported Russia.

Their attempt was to offend neither side and profit stably.

However, the local intelligence in Russia quickly targeted this company.

They believed that although nominally there is no relationship between this company and the head office,

In reality, they are transferring profits to the head office through high licensing fees.

Thus possibly making part of the local Russian income support Ukraine.

So the court issued an order, and this company was directly nationalized, handed to a designated local Russian company for operation.

As for the previous licensing fees to the head office, naturally, there’s no longer the need to pay.

"This news taught us a valuable lesson, in doing business locally in Russia, strong local ally support is essential.

Otherwise, things like shares, decision-making power, control rights—all those business rules are ineffective here."

After Wei Hanyu finished speaking, seeing her subordinates somewhat agree with her words, she continued,

"I’ve already investigated clearly, the local ally of Chen Yiyang in Russia is a rich second generation named Gena.

This rich second generation has certain military backgrounds, but the connection with Chen Yiyang seems to be only this car factory.

In other words, Chen Yiyang likely sought this rich second generation for alliance in Russia to compete with us.

This kind of relationship is very easy to sabotage because it’s based solely on interests.

Our advantage in Russia is apparent. We own a car factory here and have better relations with the local government in Tula City.

Similarly, in Moscow, we have many real-power allies. If we target the factory in Tula City, as long as we promise that the benefits of Tula City’s factory will be shared with our allies and ensure the factory can continue to operate.

I’m confident this matter has a high probability of succeeding."

After Wei Hanyu’s rousing speech ended,

Several people in management frowned.

Because the plan proposed by Wei Hanyu could theoretically succeed.

But the cost behind it is too high.

Those allies are not benevolent and won’t help Changcheng for nothing. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Certain interests must be conceded to them.

And what Changcheng would ultimately gain is merely a factory.

So the manager from Tula’s branch thought for a while and spoke:

"President Wei, according to your plan, if it succeeds, at most we’ll acquire a factory that was previously a competitor.

But the local market in Russia is only so large. With just one factory, we still can have some profit selling cars.

However, if Changcheng has two car factories in Tula City, the costs will increase significantly, and then selling cars might not be profitable in the future."

This manager’s concern is not without reason.

In the original Russian market, Changcheng’s branch here was operating decently with profits.

Even now with two companies competing, such competition will ultimately yield a result.

No matter which wins, the remaining one will still achieve certain profits.

But now, Wei Hanyu intends to directly acquire the competitor.

The previously competitive two factories now both belong to Changcheng, and Changcheng’s operating costs here would rise exponentially.

As for layoffs or capacity reduction,

Even if Changcheng wants to attempt this, the local city government of Tula City will surely oppose.

Because this affects local employment, before these two factories invested here a contract was signed to ensure a certain number of employees are hired in Tula.

Even if the owner of these two factories becomes the same, the number of employees cannot be decreased.

"What does this amount of cost matter!" Wei Hanyu, upon hearing her subordinate’s words, looked with disappointment at the subordinate and said.

"The most important thing is technology. Are we after the factory in Tula City?

No, we are after the technology held by Tula City’s factory.

Once Changcheng masters this technology, then all the factories under Changcheng will benefit. Headquarters won’t be stingy over this small amount of cost."

Wei Hanyu’s plan was truly perfect.

Once she acquires Yiyang Automobile’s factory in Tula City, what does the increase in Changcheng Automobile’s production in Russia have to do with her?

She can fully take this technology back to China and use it to reclaim her position at the head of Changcheng.

Wei Hanyu seemed already to envision her proud return, once again becoming Changcheng’s female president.

Those past managers who looked down on her stared at her with admiration, afraid to meet her eyes.

By then, she wouldn’t even need to establish authority by firing senior management.

At the thought of this wonderful future, Wei Hanyu felt herself beaming.

As for the opinions of others, she was completely uninterested!
