Chapter 53 Chapter 50 Chips

Lala wasn't sure what to do next, whether it should be private or arbitrarily decided. Wang Wei said: "The finance department already knows about these things, and the manager of accounts receivable and payable should have reported to Kirby. Not only is the amount of 200,000 yuan involved here, but the main nature is very bad. Now, I have no choice but to not report it. I also wrote MAIL, telling what happened, and HR will deal with it." Lala thought about it, and said, "I asked Maggie to arrange for the engineering department to change all the locks in your room immediately. You'd better change all the passwords to enter the company's system immediately."

The first thing Wang Wei did was to call his subordinates South District Manager Qiu Jieke and North District Manager to tell them what happened.There is no need for Wang Wei to explain any more, the two of them understood after hearing this. Once this happened, the company would probably also check their expenses, and the two immediately split up to check their own team's expenses this year. Wang Wei approached Qi Haotian and Luo Jie again, and first reported the matter verbally.Qi Haotian has always hated people cheating him the most. Once he finds out who cheated him, he will never show mercy! Therefore, his attitude is straightforward-refund the money and fire people.Roger was very surprised, the facts were there, he couldn't say anything, so he had to agree with Qi Haotian.

When Wang Wei returned to his office, he immediately wrote relevant emails and sent them to Qi Haotian, Luo Jie, Kirby, Liszt, and Qu Luoyi, asking HR to cooperate with the sales department to handle the matter. Liszt is in charge of employee relations. He communicated with Wang Wei first. He knew that it would not be difficult for Daisy to admit this matter. The key is that she might threaten the company with other things. A regional manager still knows something. The company's core information -- so, Liszt estimated that in the end it would depend on how the company negotiated a suitable price with her so that she could be sent away.

Liszt went out to talk to Daisy by himself, because Daisy's English is not very good, Liszt originally wanted Tong Jiaming to be the interpreter, but Tong Jiaming was usually close to Daisy, so he was reluctant to do this job, so he pushed Lala to do the translation. Said he could talk to Isabella.Liszt thought about it and agreed.Lala cried out secretly when she heard this, but she couldn't shirk it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet. She made up her mind to try not to speak, lest Daisy come at her. After a short talk, Daisy simply admitted that she was responsible for altering numbers and counterfeiting signatures. Taking advantage of Isabella's unpreparedness, she took advantage of every month after Wang Wei signed and before Isabella compiled the data. It has nothing to do with Isabella to get out the slips, alter them, and stuff them in again.

On Isabella's side, she obviously colluded with Daisy, insisting that she didn't understand these things at all. Give him last month's expense report, but the department director still hasn't noticed that he is just a small assistant, and the company should not have higher requirements for himself than for a director. Although they knew that they were telling lies, because it was possible once or twice, and a dozen times, a careful person like Isabella would never let Daisy succeed, but it was the case that both of them killed each other. Liszt had no choice but to put aside the topic of whether he was colluding or committing the crime alone, and talked about the issue of refunding 200,000 yuan.

Daisy just said that although the 200,000 yuan went to her personal account through various channels, it was all used for the company's business in the end, and she spent all the money on some big customers. Liszt said kindly: "Daixi, the company provides sales staff with necessary and legitimate social expenses, such as treating customers to dinner, buying some small gifts within 200 yuan, and more importantly, there is a reasonable budget for marketing and sales expenses." , why don't you use those budgets?" Daisy Laipi said: "Yes, I'm sorry, I did violate the company's business code of conduct, I provided cash benefits to customers, but I didn't do this, and I completed the indicators given to me by the company, DB The required growth rate of performance can be higher than the industry average, and the investment is made according to the company's regulations. I spend money and customers may not buy it. Who doesn't know that the most effective way is to give customers cash benefits? I do it entirely for The interests of the company are the last resort to make such a decision."

Lister said: "Our business code of conduct is clearly written. We must operate the company's business legally. What you do is completely your own behavior. I'm afraid I can only bear the responsibility by yourself, Daisy." Daisy sighed and said: "Liszt, DB has trained me for many years, and I understand what you said. Otherwise, two hundred thousand is not a small number, and I can only return the money to the company if I ask the client to get the money back. " As soon as Liszt heard it, he understood that Daisy was blackmailing the company. Those she was in charge of were all the company's big customers. She really wanted to make trouble for the customers. Who would dare to do business with DB in the future?

Besides, there is a very sensitive issue here, Daisy is transferring "personal corruption" to "commercial bribery": DB is an American company, subject to the strict "FCPA" (US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), if Even if the company is bitten into such a thing, even if it is cleared in the end, it will be a lot of trouble. Just trying to get rid of the media is a headache. Speaking of the US 'Foreign Corrupt Practices Act', this is one of the most controversial US laws.The law makes it illegal to bribe foreign government officials in order to conduct business.It is not only aimed at U.S. companies, but even applies to restricting the behavior of non-U.S. companies and their individuals whose stocks are listed in the U.S.

Once the violation of the 'Foreign Corrupt Practices Act' is punished, the company may be subject to a fine of 2 million US dollars, while the company's executives, directors, shareholders, employees and agents may face up to 5 years in prison. Daisy's fatal personal corruption; while for DB, it is very taboo to be involved in a commercial bribery scandal. Liszt had to admit secretly that Daisy was very strategic. Not only did she take advantage of the company's unwillingness to cause trouble to customers, she insisted that the two hundred thousand yuan was spent on customers, intending to make the company use the mouse to make it difficult to get back the money. One hundred thousand; moreover, she obviously wanted to use the company's taboo of not being involved in commercial bribery as a bargaining chip, and in turn tried to blackmail the company--Liszt estimated that Daisy's subordinates would most likely propose that DB pay her back a sum of money compensated.

Liszt knew he couldn't show weakness, so he had to take a step by step and said, "Daisy, I understand your work pressure, but in fact, apart from the fact that your method of obtaining 200,000 yuan violates business ethics and violates the law, you It can’t even prove where the 200,000 yuan was spent.” Daisy agreed: "Your question is very reasonable, of course I need to prove that the 200,000 yuan was indeed taken by the Huadao customer, otherwise, if I put all the money in my own pocket, wouldn't it be corruption-- Here's a list that I'm handing over to the company now."

Liszt took over the list, which was in Chinese. He couldn't understand it, so he handed it to Lala. Lala gave him a wink, and Liszt announced the adjournment. Liszt found Wang Wei to look at it together. The list listed the names of some big customers, the gifts and amounts given to them, such as. One IBM laptop computer of a certain model, 27,000 yuan, with information such as invoice number and machine number attached. Wang Wei felt dizzy when he saw it, and he told Liszt that since Daisy could provide this information, it is estimated that such a thing might really happen.Wang Wei knew clearly that the two hundred thousand should be divided between Dai Xi and Isabella, and it might be more than that.As for the benefits of the guests, if there are any, Daisy is likely to be washed out of the expenses given by the marketing department to the guests. For example, the company stipulates that it can sponsor customers to hold academic exchanges, and then the scheduled meeting is not actually held. , but made some other invoices to pretend to be meeting expenses, and reimbursed cash from the company. After getting the money, I used it to buy a laptop and gave it to the customer-this is naturally not allowed by the company's business code of conduct and the law.But Wang Wei didn't dare to bring up this topic, for fear of complicating things. If the company really got serious, I'm afraid Qiu Jieke would have to walk.In this regard, Liszt also estimated a little psychologically, but it is inconvenient to point it out. When talking again, Liszt and Daisy said: "Here is a fact, Daisy, the way you obtained the 200,000 yuan is indeed illegal. In fact, the company has the right to sue. " Daisy said calmly: "I agree, then I may face a lawsuit unless I actively refund the compensation and take the initiative to report and expose. However, I hope the company will consider that I have no choice but to do so for the benefit of the company. Where do I put the indicators? If I don’t complete it, I will be fired. If you say that this is also a career risk for me, who brought it to me? It’s DB--besides, I’m not the only one who would think of a workaround. Let’s talk about Qiu Jieke, the Southern District Manager of our department. He is a very clever person. I’m afraid he has more ideas than me. Wang Wei, Tony Lin, and even the former president He Haode, who has left, are smarter than the other. What do they think? , It’s hard to say whether they have done it personally. You can say that my behavior alone is not the company’s behavior. Are there so many of them who are senior managers, and they are all personal behaviors? If they are all personal behaviors, Then DB should fire them all, and then deal with me, I have nothing to say; otherwise, it means that their actions are corporate actions, and DB will have to be sanctioned by the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act!" Daisy simply tore off the last veil, and fiercely threw the chips head-on to Liszt. Liszt is an old bird, so it is not easy to be intimidated by Daisy, but he also understood the crazy look in Daisy's eyes, and he thought it best not to use the lawsuit as a weight to negotiate with Daisy, so he said: " Daisy, now your 200,000 yuan is based on facts, and you have admitted it yourself. As for the senior managers of DB you mentioned, they also have the same thoughts as you. I think this is based on inference and facts , are two concepts.” Daisy seemed to be waiting for him to say this, and smiled: "Liszt, sales people like to talk about performance. We are the most result-oriented industry. I always pay attention to collecting facts and information——My colleague Qiu Jieke's As a workaround, I naturally have facts. If you need them, I can provide them at any time. Moreover, I also have recorded information to share with you about the thoughts of the executives and former presidents I mentioned just now. , I believe these recordings can well support my statement. Of course, you can’t say that people can’t think about it. The law refers to sanctioning behaviors, not sanctioning people’s thoughts. What kind of social image will DB have if their ideas are shown in the media? Who would still use DB products? Will DB Asia Pacific and DB US headquarters still trust the leadership of DB China?” Liszt understood what Daixi meant, and Qi Haotian was involved in it, and she was ready to provide evidence to support her statement at any time, and she also hinted at the possibility of exposure to the media.This person is planning to gamble his fatality with DB's fatality. When Daisy was talking about recording, she glanced at Lala with deep eyes, and she asked Lala in English: "Lala, do you agree with what I said?" After she finished speaking, without waiting for Lala to speak, she turned to Liszt and said, "Liszt, I am a down-to-earth person, and everything I say is reliable. As long as the company makes up its mind, I will cooperate with the company at any time. " Liszt knew that he couldn't show that he wanted what she had in his hands, lest she sit on the floor and raise the price, so he said calmly but firmly: "Daisy, the company solves the problem based on the facts and the company's policy, which is fair to everyone , Whoever violates the law and the company's policies, you can report to the company. But this is different from your business. " Daisy studied Liszt's face and said: "Liszt, I don't want to embarrass the company. After all, the company has trained me for many years. I also want to solve the problem." Liszt smiled and said, "I welcome your attitude. How do you think the problem can be solved?" Daisy sighed and said, "Oh, so many things have happened, I can't work here anymore. I suggest that the company either let Wang Wei resign, or compensate me 800,000 yuan - you know, this matter is very important to me. It is said that the blow is so great that no one can bear it, and I don’t know when I will recover.” Liszt thought to himself, good guy, finally revealed the price directly, he shrugged and said: "Daisy, listen to me, the problem you mentioned just now is very good--since we want to solve the problem, we have to It is only feasible if it is sincere and realistic. Are you right?" Daisy said, "I take this from my conscience." Liszt said: "Basically, I can give you a suggestion. This matter has nothing to do with Wang Wei. I suggest that you focus on feasible solutions." Daisy said: "I hope the company will seriously consider my suggestion." Liszt said impatiently: "Okay, Daisy, I understand, let's talk about this first today. In view of the current situation, you will not come to work from now on, and the company will notify you if something happens." When Daisy went out, Liszt spread his hands to Lala and said, "Yes, Qi Haotian asked me to pay back 200,000. Now I can't get the money, and I have to pay 800,000." After hearing Liszt's report, Qi Haotian became angry, and said, "I hate people blackmailing me the most! 800,000! Even if I give it to the media, I won't give it to her! That Qiu Jieke, let the internal control department immediately start to check his last twelve months. As for the fee, Wang Wei also checks the fee of the North District under Wang Wei!" Roger had never been so low-key. He hid away and made himself disappear. After discussing with Liszt, Qu Luoyi and Liszt also felt that people like Dai Xi don't need to be too accommodating, but they still need to think about strategies. It's best not to make a fuss with the media. Once the matter goes beyond the scope of the company, I'm afraid they will be passive when it is resolved. , the two persuaded them in private, Qi Haotian was still angry, and said: "If something really happens between Wang Wei and Tony Lin, I will recruit two new sales directors." Qu Luoyi thought to herself, the boss is in a daze, if it is found out that there are problems with the expenses during the six months since Qi Haotian came here, then it is not known who will leave.If it comes to the Asia-Pacific and the United States, at least people will ask, the two most important sales directors have problems, how did you, Qi Haotian, become the president? Qu Luoyi and Liszt couldn't help persuading, Qi Haotian let go and said, "My bottom line is that I don't want to pursue the two hundred thousand, so as not to cause trouble for the client. Daisy must disappear!" In the end, it was decided to cool Daisy for a few days first, and wait until her arrogance subsided a bit. Liszt and Qu Luoyi came out of Qi Haotian's office and went to Ke Bide's side to discuss together. At first, Liszt was worried that Ke Bide's financial idiot would come up, but fortunately, after hearing about Qi Haotian's opinion on the two hundred thousand, Liszt He didn't say much, just nodded.The three of them decided that the internal control department should start to check Qiu Jieke's account, not only to find out some problems, but also to let the sales and marketing departments restrain themselves, and not to investigate too deeply, so as not to make them lose their minds about doing business. It hurts the business of the company.
