Chapter 261 The Intensifying Emotions
Looking at the angry faces of the middle-level managers in front of him, Zhang Bo was already smiling in his heart.
Because this is exactly the effect he wants.
Let both middle-level managers and senior managers develop a sense of distrust towards each other, and then use this distrust to intensify the hostility between the two sides, ultimately leading to the most direct conflict and even bloodshed.
And at that time, the reason why Dehrim's troops could break into the Pig-Headed Man Camp of the Diesel Company so easily was because the conflict between the regular employees and temporary employees of the Diesel Company was so fierce that both sides had reached the point where the defeat was irreversible without bloodshed and without people being killed on one side.
And in fact.
The reason why the diesel company was completely defeated at that time was that the desire of the regular employees to kill the temporary employees was stronger than that of the troops resisting Dehrim.
So much so that after Dehrim's troops attacked the Diesel Company, the regular employees were still in fierce conflict with the temporary employees, and the two sides had even opened their battle formations and started fighting.
The reason why those temporary employees were so excited after seeing Dehrim's troops attack the pig-headed people's camp was that the regular employees had already raised their kitchen knives and started to attack them. Of course they would resist, and of course they would be extremely excited to see the impending destruction of the pig-headed people's tribal diesel company.
After all, for them, the diesel company was just a temporary job, and it didn't matter who they worked for.
Anyway, it’s all for my own salary and food.
What's more, the regular employees of the diesel company have always looked down on and suppressed me.
The credit and spoils that I got were all shared by the regular employees. Temporary workers like me didn't have much power or rights. We were just poor workers.
Since you are a hard-working worker.
So, why should we unite and work together with you regular employees to protect the safety of the diesel company?
So in the end, the Diesel Company was overthrown by Shen Mu and his Mounted Blade soldiers and these temporary workers.
Zhang Bo also discovered this at that time.
That's why he deliberately provoked conflicts between senior managers and middle-level managers, just to replicate the conflict that Shen Mu had created in the Diesel Company at that time and to stir up their conflicts.
You have to know that the number of formal employees at that time was extremely small. So when the diesel company was about to face destruction, these formal employees could not turn the tide even if they wanted to.
Because their number is relatively small, just like the current senior managers.
And because he provoked the conflict between senior managers and middle-level managers, the conflict between the two sides caused a huge conflict. After all, what they were fighting for was one right, that is, the right to command, which was even more acute than the conflict between regular employees and temporary employees.
After all, at that time, all those temporary employees in the diesel company wanted was to become regular employees, but those regular employees refused to allow these temporary employees to integrate in order to maintain their own superior status and dignity.
In Zhang Bo's opinion, if the highest general manager Xue Zhigang allows these temporary employees to become regular employees, the conflicts will not be too sharp. It will only form two small groups, and they may even compete for who is the best employee of the diesel company. These two small groups can also produce relatively healthy competition, and then they will be able to resist Shen Mu's attack more fiercely.
This would give the Diesel Company a greater chance of survival, and it would not be easily defeated by Shen Mu's troops as before. Then the power would be directly annihilated, which surprised everyone.
Now if Zhang Bo wants to replicate this experience, he must push the senior and middle managers' desire for power to the limit.
The middle-level managers submitted the list at that time just to make the shareholders sound nice in order to stir up discord between the two parties, and then let these middle-level managers collectively pay a visit to Sun Zhiru and Zhang Caidong.
In fact, Sun Zhiru was just a deputy general manager in name only. He did not have as much power as the real general manager Zhang Caidong. It can be said that it was because Zhang Caidong had absolute power that he could directly control these middle-level managers.
Instead, he indirectly bypassed those senior managers and had a group of backbone forces of his own, that is, these policies and managers. Of course, in name, these middle-level managers managed themselves, but in fact, it was Zhang Bo who managed them.
The close relationship between Zhang Bo and Zhang Caidong also indirectly means that Zhang Caidong has control over them.
It's that simple.
In Zhang Caidong's view, Zhang Bo and he are of the same mind and they are like-minded, so they are essentially on the same front. Therefore, Zhang Bo's control over these middle-level managers is equivalent to Zhang Caidong's control over these middle-level managers.
For Zhang Caidong, there is no problem at all now, especially since he has bypassed those senior managers and directly controlled the middle level. In fact, he has also sidelined those senior managers.
This is why Zhang Caidong has been forcibly suppressing this behavior when facing the strike, and even slammed the table with them. He used his momentum, current power, and the power he controlled to forcibly turn this palace coup into nothingness.
After all, for him, his power is now in his own hands, and it can be directly passed down to the grassroots through those middle-level managers.
On the contrary, those senior managers must win over the middle managers of their own faction, so that their power can reach the lower levels and be implemented. But if the middle managers do not listen to them at all and only listen to Zhang Bo, that is, Zhang Caidong, they will be truly sidelined.
This is also the reason why they collectively choose to unite and force the emperor to abdicate. After all, they do not want to lose their rights.
Of course, they did not dare to point the finger directly at Zhang Bo and Zhang Caidong, even though they now knew that these middle-level managers actually relied on the support of Zhang Bo and Zhang Caidong behind the scenes, they did not dare to figure things out directly, because Zhang Bo and Zhang Caidong had no subordinate relationship in essence, they were just closer. Even if the matter reached the highest authority, Shen Mu would be at a loss. Moreover, if Zhang Caidong was really angry and started to directly sideline them, they would have no better way. After all, even when the diesel company was destroyed, Zhang Caidong was credited with the majority of the credit.
In terms of their contributions to the blood tax, they could not compare. In terms of their control over actual power, they could not compare. Even in terms of their status in Shen Mu's heart, they could not compete with Zhang Caidong, especially knowing that Zhang Caidong and Shen Mu had always had a close relationship, and Shen Mu had always trusted Zhang Caidong, even to the point that Zhang Caidong had to personally report to him on the current situation of mankind.
This is enough to prove that Zhang Caidong's status in Shen Mu's heart is very high and they are irreplaceable. At least when they want to show themselves, Shen Mu first asks about Zhang Caidong and first names Zhang Caidong.
They also knew that if they had no merit, then everything would belong to Zhang Caidong. If they wanted to succeed in getting promoted, they would have to either let Zhang Caidong leave his current position or they would have to stage a coup.
Of course they didn't dare to stage a coup, but now that remnants of the diesel company had appeared among the middle-level managers, it gave them a good excuse to eliminate dissidents.
Therefore, these senior managers will not show any mercy.
Even if they provided a list to Zhang Caidong, they actually wanted to use this list to continue to implicate others. If they could indirectly weaken the power and prestige of some of these middle-level managers, it would be equivalent to weakening Zhang Caidong's power and prestige, and they would be able to gain greater voice.
After all, if you think about it, you will understand that Zhang Caidong can control the middle-level managers under him through Sun Zhiru and Zhang Bo, while they, the senior managers, can only train their own people to become middle-level managers. The rights and status of both parties are fundamentally unequal.
Then how can the conflict between the two sides be eased? It is simply impossible for it to be eased.
"Okay, I will report the specifics to Lord Shen Mu. The fact that you are here shows that I trust you very much. You should take action on your own and identify for yourself whether you are the remnants of the Diesel Company. At the same time, you should also work together to identify whether other middle-level managers are the remnants of the Diesel Company."
Zhang Bo looked at these middle-level managers and tried to comfort them again.
It was these words he said that made the faces of these middle-level managers change slightly, because they also found that among the 70 or so middle-level managers gathered here, there were no lackeys of the senior managers.
They are all ordinary people who have been promoted.
"Brother Bo, do you mean that there are remnants of the diesel company among those running dogs of the senior managers?" Someone who had already understood the situation raised his head and looked at Zhang Bo to ask, which also attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes, I suspect them." Zhang Bo did not hide his behavior at this time, because the details of the big plan were getting faster and faster, and it was almost reaching the critical point, so Zhang Bo planned to add fuel to the fire.
Looking at all the middle-level managers who were looking over, Zhang Bo said seriously, "I promoted all of you. You were all ordinary people in the Diesel Company era and had no interest in the Diesel Company. However, the middle-level managers promoted by the senior managers are different. Many of them were temporary workers in the past. They only changed their jobs after coming to Dehrium. Do you really believe that these middle-level managers who changed their jobs are really in the same mind with Lord Shen Mu?"
These words immediately caused the middle-level managers to gasp and take a breath of cold air. They looked up at each other in astonishment and noticed the affirmation in each other's eyes.
Yes, that's how it should be.
They were all ordinary people at that time, and the diesel company discriminated against temporary workers, let alone ordinary people like them. They just treated them as a group of livestock to be ordered around.
Just to provide spiritual energy.
If it weren't for the arrival of the black tide or a special moment, the diesel companies would not allow them to enter the diesel company camp.
Just let them live in those apartment buildings around the diesel company, and find their own way to live, hide, and survive.
If that's the case, then on what basis can we say that they are the remnants of the diesel company?
After all, they rely on themselves in their lives, not on this company. They are just ordinary people. So now it is impossible to ask them to thank the Diesel Company for its good deeds.
Only those who became temporary workers had a great chance of promotion at that time.
Only those who have received favors from the Diesel Company may become the remnants of the Diesel Company.
Then the remaining options are those senior managers and the middle managers they trained. At that time, they were members of the temporary fleet and had their own network of relationships. Only in this way could they enjoy the preferential treatment and help from the diesel company at that time, and they could remember the kindness of the diesel company.
"That's indeed the case." However, all the middle-level managers present had already believed what Zhang Bo said, and each of them had greater anger in their eyes.
Because they thought of bad words such as forcing women of good character into prostitution, making indirect accusations, taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and wantonly implicating others.
The senior managers and their lackeys from the truly problematic diesel company want to force these truly good people, these good people who truly believe in Dehrim and truly love Shen Mu, into a desperate situation and then completely eliminate their threat.
"You can just investigate secretly. The results should come out in the next two days. But remember to investigate secretly and avoid conflicts. You must know that if the middle-level managers under the senior managers are really angry, they will definitely fight with you." Zhang Bo still hypocritically dissuaded them.
He knew that the more he tried to persuade them at this moment, the more acute the conflict between the two sides would become when they got angry.
"Don't worry, Brother Bo, we will definitely find the remnants of the diesel company among those damn running dogs. We will clear ourselves and then let those damn senior managers know that they are the ones who are wrong." These middle-level managers shouted angrily.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bo's face didn't show much expression, but the corners of his mouth became more and more upturned.
