Chapter 257 Everything is a Conspiracy
After Wang Yang’s entrepreneurial story was made public, his fame soared and he became an inspirational idol in the Southern Islands and even the whole country.
From starting from scratch to an upstart in the business world, his legendary experience has inspired countless young people with dreams.
Many entrepreneurs regard him as a role model and hope to copy his path to success.
However, along with fame comes endless coveting and calculation.
One day, Wang Yang received a strange phone call. The other party claimed to be a senior executive of a well-known consortium and invited Wang Yang to a private business cocktail party.
"Hello, Mr. Wang. Our consortium has always admired your deeds, especially your brilliant achievements in the aerospace field." The man spoke sincerely, but his voice had a hint of coldness that was imperceptible. "I wonder if you are interested in having an in-depth business cooperation with us?"
Wang Yang was not interested in this mysterious invitation. Years of entrepreneurship have made him instinctively wary of such explicit overtures.
"Sorry, the company has a lot of important things going on recently, so I'm afraid it's difficult to get away." He politely declined, "But I still thank you for your kindness."
"Mr. Wang is so kind. You're welcome." The other party didn't seem to be discouraged, "Our cocktail party has gathered elites from all walks of life. Wouldn't it be overshadowed without your giant Buddha? Besides, we have another big news to announce, I believe you will. Wouldn’t want to miss it.”
"Breaking news? What news?" Wang Yang asked curiously.
"Haha, Mr. Wang is indeed on the right track." The man said, "If I tell you now, wouldn't there be no suspense? Anyway, don't worry, it will definitely be worth your money! When the time comes, Don’t forget to keep your appointment.”
After saying that, he left a list of addresses and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Wang Yang was puzzled. He always felt that this enthusiasm came from a strange place, but he couldn't explain why.
Asking for advice to no avail, he decided to ask Jiang Liangliang, the veteran of the company. Jiang Liangliang is well-informed and well-connected in the business world, so he might be able to give some advice.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liangliang's face suddenly became serious after listening to his story.
"Brother Yang, I advise you not to attend that cocktail party." She said in a serious tone, "That mysterious consortium may not have good intentions."
"So, you are right Do they know anything?" Wang Yang asked.
Jiang Liangliang nodded: "Their reputation in the industry has never been very good. On the surface, they are engaged in investment, but their methods have always been clever. Many companies have fallen apart because of their intervention. It is said that they are behind the scenes. There are also political and business backers. Normally, the dragon never sees the end. Once it targets something, it will do whatever it takes. "
"Then why did they suddenly come to me?" Wang Yang was confused.
"Why else? I'm just heading for the space elevator." Jiang Liangliang hit the nail on the head, "That is the most cutting-edge and most valuable black technology of this era. Whoever can control it will control the passage to space." "Brother Yang, you must not be careless."
Wang Yang woke up from his dream. He thought of all the hard work he and his team had put into building the space elevator, and thought of the origins of the mysterious consortium, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"It seems that I have to be extra careful this time." He thought to himself, "No matter what, I can't let the space elevator fall into their hands!"
Just when Wang Yang was doing this Just as he was worried about the incident, a new situation emerged in the company.
Recently, some discordant voices have begun to brew among employees. Some people accuse Wang Yang of focusing on the research and development of space elevators but neglecting to improve the working environment and welfare benefits of employees. What's more, rumors were spread that Wang Yang was just pursuing personal fame and fortune and didn't care about the lives of his subordinates.
When the news reached Wang Yang's ears, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
Over the years, he has treated his employees with utmost kindness. A large part of the company's profits is invested in optimizing the office environment and increasing wages and bonuses. The reason why it is still not satisfactory is entirely because the space elevator is really expensive and some expenses have to be reduced.
Wang Yang can understand the dissatisfaction of employees. After all, this project has a long cycle, high difficulty, and slow results, which inevitably makes people frustrated. But the current rumors are a bit too much.
"Boss, I always feel that someone is up to something in the company." Scott analyzed with a solemn expression, "The employees' mood changes are so sudden. I'm afraid someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes."
"Could it be the mysterious consortium mentioned before? They are still there, and this time they want to use alienation tactics to break up our team?" Wang Yang thought thoughtfully.
"I think it's almost the same." Scott nodded, "But although their method is old-fashioned, it really works among ordinary employees. After all, not everyone can see the overall situation clearly, and being demanding will not help."
“Then, what should we do most now?” Wang Yang asked.
Scott thought for a moment and expressed his opinion: "The top priority right now is to stabilize the morale of the military. We have to try to explain it clearly to the employees and eliminate their doubts. If it doesn't work, give some sweeteners appropriately. It's okay. In short, don't let the other party take advantage of it."
Wang Yang nodded approvingly. Scott's analysis is thorough and his advice is to the point. It seems that during this period, I have to go to the grassroots level and strengthen communication with everyone.
So in the following days, Wang Yang began to appear frequently in various departments of the company. He patiently listened to employees' opinions, explained the company's development strategy in detail, and also revealed some of the latest developments in space elevators.
Gradually, employees' emotions began to ease and stabilize. Although the conflicts among the company's top management continued, at least it did not affect the overall morale.
However, the crisis is far from over.
At this juncture, an accident in the space elevator orbital module caused another twists and turns in the situation.
When Wang Yang arrived at the scene of the incident, the scene was in chaos. The space capsule parked in mid-air is crumbling, with dozens of passengers trapped inside, and there is a danger of crashing at any time.
And just as the rescue operation was about to begin, shocking news came from the elevator base——
Someone took advantage of the chaos and invaded the main control room, cutting off the connection between the elevator and the ground!
This means that the passengers trapped in the space capsule can only rely on the emergency system in the capsule to survive, and the ground cannot control the elevator in any way.
If the control system failure is not eliminated as soon as possible, what awaits the passengers will be a fall into the abyss!
“This is definitely a conspiracy deliberately created by someone!” Scott roared on the communication channel, “Boss, we must take action immediately! If we don’t make emergency repairs, the passengers will die!”
< br>Wang Yang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger and anxiety in his heart. He knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment.
"Scott, organize an emergency team immediately. Let's sneak in from the maintenance channel below the space capsule! Try to fix the fault as soon as possible!" He made a prompt decision. "As for the main control room, leave it to Tieshan. Let him lead the people to rush there. Go ahead and take back control!" "Got it!" Scott shouted back.
In a matter of seconds, Wang Yang had already rushed into the narrow passage under the elevator shaft with several technical backbones. This place is usually used for daily maintenance and the environment is extremely harsh, but now it has become the only path to the space capsule.
The group of people rolled and climbed, trying hard to climb up. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. Only the faint light from the flashlight and the subtle creaking sound from the orbital cabin reminded everyone of the danger they were in.
After several twists and turns, the emergency repair team finally approached the bottom of the orbital module. At this moment, the entire space capsule is like a giant, hovering quietly in the air, with the danger of losing control and falling at any time.
The safety of the passengers rests entirely on the shoulders of my group!
Realizing this, Wang Yang gritted his teeth and took the lead in opening the access door of the orbital cabin, regardless of the sweat on his face.
"Let's check separately to see what went wrong!" He ordered while scanning every inch of the cabin with piercing eyes.
Soon, several technicians discovered the clue - it turned out that a circuit board inside the orbital cabin had been artificially damaged, causing the entire cabin to malfunction!
"Damn it! This is obviously man-made sabotage!" A technician couldn't help but cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense! Find a way to fix it quickly!" Wang Yang shouted in a deep voice, "Where is the backup circuit here? We can't let the passengers just wait to die!"
Everyone quickly opened the design drawings and began to discuss Emergency repair plan. In the cramped space capsule, several people were crowded together, sweating profusely from the heat.
Wang Yang also took off his suit, rolled up his sleeves and joined the emergency repair team. Without saying a word, he picked up the tools and started fighting side by side with the technicians.
Finally, after a fierce battle, the backup circuit in the orbital cabin was successfully activated! The emergency broadcast immediately resounded throughout the cabin——
"Attention, passengers! The orbital module has resumed normal operation. Please sit tight and don't panic! We will reconnect with the ground base soon. Please believe us, We will definitely ensure everyone’s safety!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire orbital cabin seemed to be reborn, and started running smoothly after a while of trembling.
The surviving passengers burst into cheers. Wang Yang also breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bulkhead without any strength.
“It was a near miss, boss!” A technician patted his shoulder excitedly, “You stepped forward at a critical moment and resolved this unprecedented crisis! You are worthy of being our hero! "
Wang Yang smiled weakly and was about to speak when Tieshan's breathless voice came from the communicator -
" Boss! The main control room has been lost! ”
"What?!" Wang Yang sat up straight in agitation, "Tieshan, tell me clearly, what's going on?!"
"We, we still underestimated the enemy." Tieshan was obviously at the end of his fight. , "They have a large number of people. The control room is in their hands. Boss, we are careless."
Wang Yang felt dizzy for a while, and there was a "boom" in his head, and he understood instantly——
It turns out this is all a conspiracy!
Someone deliberately caused an accident in the orbital capsule, diverted the tiger away from the mountain, took advantage of the opportunity of leading the repair team, cooperated internally and externally, and seized control of the space elevator!
And the mastermind behind this is probably that mysterious and malicious consortium!
Wang Yang shuddered when he thought of this. The space elevator is his life's work and his key to the stars and the sea. But now, it has fallen into the hands of the enemy and is ready to be slaughtered
"Tieshan! You retreat first! Save your strength, I will rush back to the company immediately!" He clenched his fists and gave new instructions.
"Mr. Wang! Are you okay?" The anxious voices of Jiang Liangliang and Liang Yuzhu came from the other end of the communication.
It turns out that when the control room was attacked just now, Tieshan urgently moved the two people to ensure the safety of the company's top executives.
"I'm fine, but you are all fine?" Wang Yang asked with concern.
"Don't worry, we are fine." Liang Yuzhu forced himself to calm down, "Brother Yang, the situation is critical, you must be careful!"
"I know." Wang Yang took a deep breath, "This time we underestimated the enemy too much. That damn consortium is more cunning than we imagined. But as long as we are united and united, there is no obstacle that we cannot overcome!"
"That's right! Mr. Wang, we I will always support you! As long as we are together, no conspiracy will succeed!" Jiang Liangliang is very motivated.
Wang Yang smiled gratefully. With such respectable and lovely colleagues and lovers, what else do I have to fear?
"Yuzhu, Liangliang, please go back to the company first to stabilize the overall situation. Tieshan and I will be there shortly." After the instructions, Wang Yang interrupted the communication and stood up to evacuate the orbital module.
A storm is inevitable. But Wang Yang knows that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, he must face the difficulties because too many people place their hopes on him.
Exiting the maintenance channel and returning to the ground, Wang Yang rushed into the company building without touching the ground.
In the conference room, Liang Yuzhu and Jiang Liangliang were organizing the company's senior management to urgently discuss countermeasures. The two were relieved to see him back.
"Brother Yang, you are finally back!" Liang Yuzhu ran over and hugged Wang Yang.
"Yuzhu, I'm sorry for making you worry." Wang Yang gently patted her back and comforted her.
"Mr. Wang, Tieshan has already reported to us the situation in the main control room." Jiang Liangliang got straight to the point, "Although the enemy has seized control of the space elevator, they should not have had time to get their hands on the core secrets. The top priority right now is to stabilize the company's operations and prevent the spread of panic."
Wang Yang nodded: "What's the reaction from the board of directors?"
"Don't worry. He Liangliang has been cleared in advance. "Liang Yuzhu said, "Although everyone is very worried about this crisis, they all agree that the company must cut the knot quickly and turn the tide. Many shareholders have also promised to provide us with financial support."
"That's good." Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "With the strong backing of the board of directors, we will be more confident to deal with that damn consortium."
Jiang Liangliang frowned: "Brother Yang, I always feel that the consortium's plot against us is not over yet. They took advantage of this opportunity and made it clear that they were after the company's core secrets. But then I thought about it. , If they can succeed so easily, why bother setting up a trap to lure you in and cause trouble? "
"You mean they have other intentions?" Wang Yang woke up from his dream.
