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.
