Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1689: As Soon As Possible

Ling Zhenfei hesitated and then said, "Are you kidding? How can an ordinary person have such an encryption level?"

Huo Jie replied, "I'm a bit puzzled too, but don't worry, I'll go get an authorization for you right away and figure it out."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "How long will it take? Do I still need to wait?"

Huo Jie said, "If it were anyone else, I might not be able to get it, but your matter is special. I'm reaching out to the big boss at Long Hai, maybe he can lend me a hand."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then hurry up, and send me any news as soon as you have it."

"Alright, I'll do my best." Huo Jie said before hanging up the phone.

Ling Zhenfei knew it would take quite a while, but it was time to meet this President Xu.

It was just the afternoon, and there wasn't much activity in the office at Xishan Manor, creating a very peaceful atmosphere.

However, when they saw Ling Zhenfei entering, everyone sat down quietly, noticing his unhappy expression, hence no one dared to joke around with him.

From a distance, Ling Zhenfei spotted a person talking to one of the finance girls.

Although he hadn't met him before, Ling Zhenfei had seen his photo and knew this person should be President Xu.

Ling Zhenfei walked over to him, and as he passed by others, they greeted him.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and walked forward, stopping in front of President Xu.

President Xu's name was Xu Dakai, around forty years old, with a refined appearance that didn't reveal much.

Ling Zhenfei stood before Xu Dakai, who hurriedly said, "Hello, Director Ling."

Ling Zhenfei looked at him, pretended not to know him, and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Xu Dakai quickly replied, "My name is Xu Dakai, we indeed haven't met before."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What position do you currently hold in our group?"

Xu Dakai said, "I was personally appointed by President Chen to take over his business and handle the group's long-term planning."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "You're handling the group's long-term planning? So, what have you accomplished since you arrived? Please show me."

After listening, Xu Dakai hesitated slightly, then said, "I haven't been here long, I'm conducting further research, and I'll soon submit a detailed plan to Boss Ling."

Ling Zhenfei said, "President Chen left around last year, right? It's been quite some time, and you say you've just arrived. Do you need to acclimate yourself? How long do you need, a year or two?"

Xu Dakai responded, "The situation here is quite complex, so I need a deeper understanding."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "You haven't done anything since joining the group, have you? Tell me what you've been doing?"

Xu Dakai replied, "I've investigated all of Xi Shan Group's business, including farming, livestock, and even the restaurants."

"Did you find anything in your investigations?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Xu Dakai replied, "Of course, I know exactly how we earned profits last year and how we profited."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "If you know so clearly, what do you want to tell me? I'm not keen on knowing what you've found, I only want to know what you've done."

Everyone fell silent, sensing the aggressive tone in Ling Zhenfei's voice.

This was uncharacteristic for Ling Zhenfei, who usually engaged with them kindly during conversations, leaving everyone puzzled as to why today's demeanor was different.

For President Xu, it was surprisingly confrontational.

President Xu also quieted down and said, "Seems like Boss Ling is somewhat dissatisfied with me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, if I were satisfied, I wouldn't have asked the questions I did earlier. Do you realize the importance of your position to our group? I don't want an incompetent person holding this position."

Xu Dakai smiled and said, "As for my capabilities, I am somewhat reputed in the industry. If you don't believe me, feel free to mention my name to anyone in the sector."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I know you've worked for many companies before, and you've done quite well, but I have an intriguing question for you. Why do the companies you leave tend to devalue to varying degrees?"

Xu Dakai replied, "It's simple to explain. Everything in the companies where I've worked was arranged by me, so when I leave and they don't follow my mindset, it inevitably leads to a drop in stock price."

Ling Zhenfei realized, "Oh, that's how it is, sounding impressive at first. But why haven't you formed a plan at our Xishan Manor?"

Xu Dakai replied, "Who said I don't have a plan? It just takes longer to brew. There are things you wouldn't know; I've already contacted overseas giants and packaging companies.

Once operational, Xi Shan Restaurant's vegetables, every cabbage, every Ziling Fruit can be luxury items."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You've been focusing overseas, so how should domestic development proceed? After returning to Binyang, I approved several plans.

I acquired the Xianrenzui Distillery, I want to expand the livestock base, and also build an ornamental fish farming base, yet nothing passed under your management."

Xu Dakai calmly said, "I certainly have my ideas. Since I'm in this position, everything should follow my rationale."

Ling Zhenfei sneered and asked, "What ideas do you have? Let's hear."

Xu Dakai said, "As the saying goes, rarity is precious. I'm about to develop everything at Xishan Manor into luxury items. Why are you expanding so massively?

You've heard of the Island Nation's wagyu, right? It's a luxury; a piece of meat can be worth an entire cow elsewhere. We're developing top-quality and premium items, not mass farming."

"As for the ornamental fish base, is it necessary to farm? Moergawa is now another base for us, where perfect tropical fish are ready for easy catch, only needing consideration for transportation; why bother constructing a base?

And about your distillery, what use is a huge one? The name is already tarnished; it might even drag down our entire group; we want premium wine.

At such a high-end Xi Shan Restaurant, should we serve white wine? No, we should serve red wine. Establish a vineyard overseas, forget about white wine or Fairy Intoxication.

How much can you sell a bottle for, can Maotai compare? Can it sell for a high price? What about red wine, even with a bit of hype, it's in the thousands, tens of thousands, there's even hundred-thousand bottles."

To be fair, his points hold some rationale, but is it necessarily good to pursue only high-end?

But his words truly stunned Ling Zhenfei, even silencing everyone else.

Everyone looked at Ling Zhenfei, to see how he would respond.

Originally he came to call him out, but unexpectedly ended up being questioned, this was not ideal.
