《Big biz duel》E1Plot

Episode 1

Generation Logistics, the express delivery giant founded by Hong Kong entrepreneur Zhao Kai, was once a company with a market value of over 100 million. It voluntarily withdrew from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for some reason.A year later, it miraculously returned to the market and was relisted for trading.

In 2021, Zhao Kai decided to generously distribute 20% of the company's shares to all employees.Faced with the boom in the stock market, although his assistant reminded him to proceed with caution, Zhao Kai firmly believed that the move would not shake the stock price and that he would still be able to control the decision-making power.Just as the assistant was preparing to issue an internal announcement, shareholder Xu Daoming raised objections, but Zhao Kai had made up his mind.In order to prove the strength of the company, he proposed to send a pen on the table to Emma in Harbin by express delivery at four o'clock that afternoon, and promised that if there were no accidents, it would be delivered before twelve o'clock that night.This was in response to Xu Daoming's objections and hoped that he would support his proposal.

Zhao Kai handed the ballpoint pen to his assistant, who immediately took action to ensure a smooth delivery process.However, when the express was approaching its destination, a snowstorm suddenly occurred and the flight was canceled, causing transportation difficulties.The assistant reported the situation to Zhao Kai urgently.

At the same time, Xing Wenhao tried to persuade Zhao Kai to give up the share distribution plan through Zhao Kai's ex-wife Song Qiao.However, Song Qiao knew Zhao Kai's character and determination well, and this behavior was legal and compliant, so he believed that he could not change his mind.

Back in 2010, Zhao Kai resolutely resigned from the company and turned to pursue the path of self-employment.Although Song Qiao strongly opposed it at the time and tried to pave the way for him in the logistics industry through relationships, Zhao Kai chose to cooperate with Xing Wenhao.Xing Wenhao was originally not optimistic about the express delivery industry, but he transferred Generation Logistics to Zhao Kai, and the two had an intersection.However, the marriage between Zhao Kai and Song Qiao had cracks due to this incident and eventually broke up.Many years later, the two reunited in an interview, and Zhao Kai expressed indifference to the past.

One day, Zhao Kai ran into Fang Fang, a former courier from Haitang Town on his way to a meeting.Fang Fang is passionate about Generation Logistics, but due to lack of funds, she can only request to pay the franchise fee in installments.She promised to ensure the quality of service during the franchise period and personally made tea fruits and presented them to Zhao Kai.Faced with sudden express delivery delays, Zhao Kai decisively decided to rent an airplane to ensure customer experience and demonstrated his great emphasis on credibility.In the end, he provided the necessary financial support to Fang Fang through his assistant Sam, helping her realize her dream of joining.

Episode 2

Xu Daoming, as a capable person in the early days of Xing Wenhao's company, had made great achievements, but suddenly submitted his resignation.Xing Wenhao cherished his talent as much as his fate, so he introduced Xu Daoming to Zhao Kai.The two reunited, as if they were separated from each other. It turned out that they met by chance in a bar three years ago. They were both frustrated. Zhao Kai was depressed because of his wife's confusion, and Xu Daoming was sad because of the unfortunate death of his brother during the day.Two souls with dreams but repeated setbacks found resonance that night.

Today, Zhao Kai has built a small logistics company into a listed company, and Xu Daoming is also known as an operating wizard in the industry, turning corruption into magic many times and becoming a legend in the business world.Zhao Kai asked about the reason for Xu Daoming's resignation. Xu Daoming bluntly said that physical enterprises need to be steady and steady and avoid quick success, while Xing Wenhao prefers short-term, flat and quick projects, and the two have different ideas.Zhao Kai felt the same way and asked Xu Daoming what his first priority would be if he took charge of Generation Logistics.Xu Daoming replied: Purchase a company plane.This statement hit Zhao Kai's fancy, and the two coincided with each other. Zhao Kai immediately hired Xu Daoming as CEO, generously provided luxury houses, luxury cars, and generous treatment.

After Fang Fang joined Generation Logistics, she kept her promise to Zhao Kai in mind, worked diligently, and motivated the team to improve distribution efficiency.She maintained friendship with Zhao Kai's ex-girlfriend Song Qiao. Song Qiao bought a high-end stereo and did not forget to share the beauty of music with Zhao Kai.However, while Zhao Kai was enjoying music, his car window was suddenly smashed. Fortunately, he was alert and called the police immediately.

It was late at night, Fang Fang finished her work, and ran into her old courier colleagues. She learned that their cars had been impounded for driving without a license, and their lives were in trouble.Fang Fang reached out and suggested that they join a regular express delivery team, which would not only solve the problem of car seizures, but also provide them with more generous treatment.Colleagues readily accepted the offer and were full of hope for the future.

Fang Fang's expansion plan was questioned by her family, but she was determined and vowed to push the project forward.Generation Logistics is full of expectations for Xu Daoming’s joining and believes that he must be outstanding.After Xu Daoming took office, he paid attention to the cooperation with Australian Dollar Airlines. Employees had different views on this, with some worries and some joys.

The police uncovered the case of Zhao Kai's car window being smashed. The suspect, Zhang Quan, was an employee of an express delivery franchisee in Xiamen and lost control due to a conflict with a customer.Although Zhao Kai initially felt that Zhang Quan should be punished, after getting to know him more deeply, he discovered that the client was also inappropriate.Zhao Kai decided to forgive Zhang Quan and clear his name to maintain the dignity of the courier.

In order to raise funds, Fang Fang had no choice but to turn to her biological father, Xing Wenhao.Despite the tortuous process, Xing Wenhao eventually provided help.However, the estrangement in Fang Fang's heart did not disappear. She witnessed the closeness between her father and her half-sister, which strengthened her determination to surpass her father.

Episode 3

Fang Fang planned to become the exclusive franchisee of Haitang Town. After she prepared the necessary funds, she went to Generation Logistics Company to visit Zhao Kai.However, Zhao Kai's assistant told her that she could not enter without a reservation.The witty Fang Fang immediately said that she was here to repay the debt, and thus successfully met Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was surprised by Fang Fang's proposal, but when he heard that other logistics points not only delivered packages from Generation Logistics, but also secretly carried goods from other companies, which seriously affected the service quality and reputation of Generation Logistics, and the couriers' attitude was reduced due to overloaded work.When the situation was bad, he considered giving Fang Fang the exclusive opportunity to join the franchise and entrusted her with the responsibility of supervising the quality and service of the couriers.Zhao Kai immediately sent an assistant to investigate the matter. If the situation was true, cooperation with those illegal franchise points would be cancelled.At the end of the meeting, Fang Fang successfully obtained Zhao Kai’s contact information.

Zhao Kai handed over the task of purchasing aircraft to Xu Daoming, and the key to solving the problem was to find Song Qiao.Although Zhao Kai and Song Qiao had been divorced for many years and did not want to incur human debt, he still told Xu Daoming that if he could not solve the problem alone, he would personally intervene.When Song Qiao learned that the person from Generation Logistics was coming, he wanted to meet him, but found that the person who came was not Zhao Kai himself, so he chose to avoid it.

Zhao Kai's decision touched the interests of other logistics points. They joined forces to lock Zhao Kai in the office and even splashed her with water as a warning.Frightened, Zhao Kai immediately called the police.

The next day, Zhao Kai learned that Fang Fang had also been threatened and quickly rushed to the Public Security Bureau to express his concern.At the same time, he received a call from the company and learned that the original franchisees were gathering people to surround the company.After Zhao Kai heard Fang Fang's promise to coordinate, he decided to take her to the company with him.

At the entrance of the company, facing hundreds of excited people, Zhao Kai showed calmness and dignity. He asked everyone to choose to negotiate or leave, and finally guided everyone into the conference room.In the conference room, faced with joint accusations from sixteen franchisees, Fang Fang angrily and firmly clarified the facts.Upon seeing this, Zhao Kai cleverly changed his strategy and pretended to cancel Fang Fang's exclusive qualifications to induce franchisees to relax their vigilance and admit inappropriate behavior.Zhao Kai took the opportunity to record evidence and warned them not to threaten or retaliate against Fang Fang in any form.

On the other hand, Xu Daoming met Song Qiao by chance in a bar, and the two spent the night together because of their common music hobby.When they woke up the next day, they both felt embarrassed.After Xu Daoming learned that Song Qiao was Zhao Kai's ex-wife, he felt that the situation was even more complicated and unpredictable.

Episode 4

After expanding her business scale, Fang Fang showed a high sense of responsibility and patience. Every morning, she would carefully instruct the express team to maintain a high-quality service attitude and avoid conflicts with customers.Team members were deeply affected and the company's business thrived.

Xu Daoming originally intended to use Xing Wenhao to get closer to Song Qiao in order to negotiate the purchase of second-hand aircraft.However, Song Qiao bluntly asked for a direct conversation with Zhao Kai and then left, leaving a deep impression on Xu Daoming - this woman was both decisive and tough, and could turn her back on her in an instant even if she had had close contact the day before.Faced with the dilemma, Xu Daoming turned to Xing Wenhao for help, and the latter suggested that Zhao Kai should intervene with Song Qiao.In fact, Xing Wenhao knows Song Qiao's character very well. Her desire for business success goes beyond profit itself, and she is more often seeking a kind of self-proof.Xu Daoming therefore became more determined to win the aircraft acquisition, and at the same time he was determined not to embarrass Zhao Kai.

On the other side, Xing Wenhao's youngest son found Fang Fang privately, revealed his knowledge of his father's illegitimate daughter, and tried to lead Fang Fang to meet his other half-brothers and sisters.However, Fang Fang firmly refused. She had no intention of integrating into Xing Wenhao's family, nor did she want to interact with any of her half-sisters, so she advised him to leave quickly.

In the process of exploring new channels for Australian dollar financing, Xu Daoming discovered the adverse impact of the turmoil in India on Australian dollar financing, so he decided to invite Zhao Kai to participate in negotiations, hoping to use this information advantage to lower the acquisition price.However, at the negotiation table, Xu Daoming unexpectedly announced a reduction in the acquisition price. The reason was the impact of Indian financial pressure on Australian dollar financing.He hoped that Song Qiao would think rationally and sell off retired equipment in a timely manner.Although Song Qiao was shocked, due to personal obsession, it was difficult to make a decision for the moment.

Subsequently, Zhao Kai communicated with Song Qiao privately, analyzed the situation in a fair and objective manner, and promised to maintain the original purchase price.At the same time, it was revealed that if Song Qiao refuses, he has reached an agreement with Zhuo Yifan of Australian Dollar Airlines to purchase four aircraft at the same price.Song Qiao was finally moved by Zhao Kai's sincerity, and she readily agreed to cooperate and announced the decision at the meeting.Xu Daoming looked embarrassed when he heard the price.

On the way back, Zhao Kai revealed another important information to Xu Daoming: competitors are also coveting these aircraft.If we don't act decisively today, we may miss the opportunity.Only then did Xu Daoming deeply realize Zhao Kai's strength and vision, and sincerely admired him for turning a company on the verge of bankruptcy into a well-known listed company.

At the same time, Xing Wenhao suddenly fainted at a press conference, triggering market panic and causing the stock market to fall.While in a coma in the hospital, Xing Wenhao's youngest son urgently contacted Zhao Kai, who quickly arrived and arranged a series of follow-up matters.In addition, Xing Wenhao also prepared a letter in advance and handed it to Zhao Kai to forward to the lawyer for processing.

Episode 5

Zhao Kai invited a lawyer to read out Xing Wenhao's last wish letter in the presence of Xing Wenhao's three children. The letter stated that he would divide his inheritance equally among his four children, including an illegitimate daughter who had not been made public.The eldest son Vincent was furious after hearing this. He refused to acknowledge his half-sister and questioned the authenticity of the letter.

Fortunately, Xing Wenhao's other two children are more sensible. The younger son Michael confirmed Fang Fang's identity, but Vincent was still emotional. He was worried that a stranger would divide the family property, forcing Michael and his sister Emma to comply with his wishes.

In view of Zhao Kai's friendship with Xing Wenhao and Fang Fang, and because Xing Wenhao was critically ill, Zhao Kai decided to arrange for Fang Fang to come to Hong Kong to see him for the last time and not interfere in the distribution of the inheritance.Fang Fang was hesitant at first, but after learning that this might be the only chance to say goodbye to her father, she decided to go.

When Vincent saw Fang Fang, he questioned her intention of inheriting the inheritance. Fang Fang felt helpless at her unreasonable attitude.Zhao Kai escorted Fang Fang to the intensive care unit, but Vincent was indifferent to his father's condition and the company's plight, and only focused on arguing with Fang Fang.Fang Fang had no regrets after meeting Xing Wenhao, and took the initiative to give up her inheritance rights and signed in front of the lawyer to confirm. This move surprised Vincent, Emma and the lawyer.

Just as the lawyer was preparing to draft documents, news came that Xing Wenhao had regained consciousness.Fang Fang left silently after learning about it. When Xing Wenhao woke up, he didn't see Fang Fang and looked disappointed.

On the other hand, Xu Daoming's outstanding performance in Generation Logistics has enabled the company's performance to soar, with the number of aircraft increased to seven, achieving the annual target ahead of schedule.Zhao Kai commended Xu Daoming and announced his promotion plan. Unexpectedly, rumors spread within the company that Xu Daoming was a murderer, accusing him of forcing a couple to commit suicide.

Zhao Kai firmly supported Xu Daoming and instructed to trace the source of the rumors.Xu Daoming admitted that some of the rumors were true, and that the suicide of Chen Yongda and his wife was caused by his brother's misappropriation of public funds.Xu Daoming refused the company's further investigation and went to Song Qiao's home privately to question whether he was behind the scenes. Song Qiao admitted and tried to poach Xu Daoming, but he refused because he was deeply dissatisfied with Song Qiao's behavior.

At the same time, Fang Fang paid off her debt to Zhao Kai and was surprised by Zhao Kai's decision to dissolve the franchisees.

Episode 6

Zhao Kai revealed his plan to Fang Fang to transform her franchise store into a direct-operated store, promising that the couriers in Haitang Town who originally belonged to Fang Fang would officially become employees of Generation Logistics and enjoy salary and benefits no less than the previous level..This change aims to improve management efficiency, eliminate problems caused by unevenness in the past, and achieve standardized management and systems.

Fang Fang was quite surprised that Zhao Kai personally came to Haitang Town to convey the news, because in her view, she was not only a franchise store in the Generation Logistics Network, but also Zhao Kai's best friend.Although Fang Fang was deeply relieved by Zhao Kai's explanation, at night, she still expressed her unwillingness to terminate the contract and maintain the status quo of the franchise store.

Zhao Kai's decision also encountered resistance at the board of directors level.The reason is that terminating the contract with the franchisee will involve high compensation costs, which will ultimately be borne by the sponsors behind the board of directors, which is undoubtedly contrary to their original intention of pursuing cost savings and maximizing benefits.In order to reverse the situation, the board members even tried to give Xu Daoming a promotion opportunity in exchange for his disapproval vote, because Xu Daoming is known for his keen insights in the field of data analysis, but in the face of temptation, he still insisted on using data to speak, showing thatof their independent judgment.

On the other hand, Xing Wenhao's investment in oil futures caused the company to fall into financial difficulties. In order to obtain bank loans, he did not hesitate to falsify financial statements.His son Vincent was deeply afraid of this and worried about legal liability, so he informed Xu Daoming of the matter and sought advice.Xu Daoming warned Vincent to remain silent and kept the false report privately.

After some reflection, Zhao Kai realized that his one-size-fits-all strategy might be too radical.He admitted that although the behavior of some franchisees has damaged the company's image, there are also partners who have performed well.Therefore, at the board meeting, he announced that he would improve the cooperation mechanism of franchisees and take legal measures to pursue violations, so as to protect the interests of the company while also taking into account the reasonable rights and interests of franchisees.

After the meeting, Zhao Kai expressed his understanding and respect for Xu Daoming's decision-making, believing that he focused on the company's long-term development rather than just focusing on short-term gains.He recalled Xu Daoming's transformation process from an ordinary analyst to an important role, and affirmed his ability and contribution in data analysis.

In addition, Zhao Kai also faced an emergency situation: a batch of medical products overturned during transportation. These products have strict requirements on temperature conditions.In order to quickly respond to the crisis, Zhao Kai immediately thought of Fang Fang. Since the accident happened close to her, he contacted her urgently to request assistance.

Episode 7

Xu Daoming was coexisting with Song Qiao when he received a call that there was a problem with the company's express vehicle, and he immediately drove to the scene.At the same time, this was also the first time that Fang Fang met Song Qiao. She had overheard Zhao Kai mentioning his ex-wife and checked her information online. When she met her today, she was indeed as dazzling and extraordinary as the rumors.

Thanks to Fang Fang's unremitting efforts, all express delivery materials were delivered in time without loss, which Zhao Kai greatly appreciated.That night, he visited the direct-operated store in person and wanted to reward Fang Fang with an increase in express delivery fees.Seeing that Fang Fang's face was tired and stained, Zhao Kai wiped it for her without thinking. This move moved Fang Fang, and the generous reward he originally planned to propose was changed to a simple meal.

Zhao Kai readily agreed and invited Fang Fang to the company for dinner.However, when Fang Fang arrived, she discovered that this was not just a private dinner for the two of them, but that Zhao Kai had invited many company employees to the table, obviously with no special treatment intended.

On the other side, Xing Wenhao lost all his money because he invested all the company's funds in the futures market. In despair, he took extreme measures and went to the police station to report his son Xing Qichao forged documents, leading to the latter's arrest.This may seem like a cruel trick, but it is actually a cruel use of an innocent son. Xing Qichao was just following his father's orders to deliver documents, but unfortunately he became the scapegoat.

Zhao Kai smelled the crisis of Xing Wenhao's company from the news and immediately checked the company's account balance, and was subsequently approached by Xing Wenhao.Xing Wenhao, citing his many aids to Zhao Kai and his son in the past, asked Zhao Kai to acquire Jingtu Company to meet his urgent needs.This transaction would cost up to 1.4 billion and be riddled with risks. Zhao Kai’s decision was strongly opposed by Xu Daoming and Song Qiao. They believed that this would not only weaken Zhao Kai’s voice in the company, but could also lead to a greaterfinancial black hole.However, Zhao Kai finally won the support of the board of directors with his firm belief and clever lobbying.

In a private conversation with Song Qiao, Zhao Kai showed his calm attitude towards failure and shared his recognition of Fang Fang's work performance.When asked about the future economic situation, he confidently stated that he had experienced rebirth from a trough and was not afraid of failure again.At the same time, the two also talked about their love lives. Song Qiao also specifically asked Zhao Kai for his views on Fang Fang, and Zhao Kai emphasized Fang Fang's importance to the company.

Soon after, Zhao Kai officially announced at a press conference that Generation Logistics would acquire two-thirds of the equity of Jingtu Group. This move quickly reversed the decline in Jingtu's stock price and led to the appreciation of Zhao Kai's personal assets.Xing Wenhao, on the other hand, toasted to celebrate with a sly smile on his face, as if he had everything under control.

《Big biz duel》E8Plot

Episode 8

Xing Wenhao visited his eldest son Xing Qichao in prison, and the latter eagerly asked when he could help him appeal and get out of trouble.However, Xing Wenhao comforted his son that the stock market is now recovering and the company is gradually getting out of trouble. He promised that when the time is right, he will return and take over the family business.

Generation Logistics has gone through ups and downs, and finally found a breather after the financial crisis. The stock market performed strongly, and Fang Fang's company also expanded along with the trend.Zhao Kai was committed to promoting the direct-operated store model and repeatedly lobbied Fang Fang to give up his franchise status and instead merge into the Generation Logistics system, but Fang Fang was quite resistant to this.Faced with Zhao Kai's re-invitation, he elaborated on the advantages of direct-operated stores and promised to provide favorable conditions, including increasing acquisition funds, retaining the original team, and granting management positions. If he was still rejected, he would take unilateral measures to terminate the contract.After hearing this, Fang Fang fell into deep thought.

In view of Fang Fang's stubbornness, Zhao Kai turned to Xing Wenhao for help, hoping to use his influence to change Fang Fang's mind.Although Xing Wenhao felt embarrassed because he had had little contact with Fang Fang in recent years and had an estranged relationship, he still agreed to try to communicate.

Fang Fang resolutely refused to become part of the Generation Logistics direct-operated store. The reason behind this was actually a personal emotional entanglement - her mother was once a subordinate of Xing Wenhao, and she did not want to make the same mistake again and become a subsidiary of the Xing family.After learning the truth, Zhao Kai respected her decision, and Fang Fang also revealed his plan to return to Haitang Town and regain his original intention.

Zhao Kai then secretly acquired a small amount of shares in Generation Logistics from Xing Wenhao, and cleverly used Fang Fang's memory of her mother to induce Fang Fang to accept the fact of becoming a shareholder in the name of her mother's last wish.This move not only satisfied Zhao Kai's strategic layout, but also indirectly achieved Fang Fang's reconciliation with the past.

With the new shares, Zhao Kai was successfully promoted to the Greater Bay Area Operations Director, but he rejected the proposal to set up an exclusive office in the company and maintained a low-key and pragmatic style.

On the other hand, Xu Daoming was very fond of Song Qiao's drone express delivery project, committed investment without the approval of the board of directors, and publicly declared that Generation Logistics would use drone technology to promote digital transformation.This move caused panic among employees and even triggered a strike.In the face of the crisis, Zhao Kai suggested that Xu Daoming clarify the misunderstanding through live broadcast, emphasizing that drones are designed to reduce work burdens rather than layoffs.However, Xu Daoming insisted on his own opinion and believed that mechanization and automation were the way out for the future of the enterprise.

Seeing this, Song Qiao recognized Zhao Kai's strategy, but was unable to change Xu Daoming's stubborn stance.After Xu Daoming suffered a retaliation incident, he still did not realize the importance of communicating with employees. His tough management style was in sharp contrast to Zhao Kai's flexible strategies.
