Chapter 89 I will never let tragedy happen again (23)
Last year, the most classic Hong Kong version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was released. This year, it was introduced and started to be broadcast in China.
As soon as this drama was released, it caused a wave of Jin fans to rediscover the novel.
In several bookstores near the No. 1 Middle School, Jin's novels are sold out.
Even Li Ansheng secretly bought a set and stayed up late every day to read.
A few days ago, this girl suddenly asked Su Mingzhe.
If he were Yang Guo, would he still care about Xiaolongnu who was harmed by the dragon knight?
This question made Su Mingzhe furious.
How could he possibly be such an idiot as Yang Guo!
Damn, if I were lucky enough to travel through time and become Yang Guo, the first thing I would do would be to kill Yin Zhiping, and of course Zhen Zhibing.
Su Mingzhe still remembers that when he watched a TV series and learned about the harm done to Xiaolongnu, he was indignant for a month.
At this time, Bai Gu's appearance was at its peak and he was very handsome.
As a result, such a handsome Yang Guo gave up a large forest for a little dragon girl.
Watching the TV series, Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Lue'e, and Guo Xiang fell deeply in love with him one after another, which even led to a tragedy in their lives.
It really proves the saying, 'Once you meet Yang Guo, you will regret it for the rest of your life'.
If I were Yang Guo, I would never let this kind of life tragedy happen again.
In front of Li Ansheng, Su Mingzhe solemnly swore that he not only wanted Xiaolongnu, but also Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Gongsun Lue'e and Guo Xiang.
"Why don't you play with Guo Fu too?"
This girl Li Ansheng seemed to be mad at Su Mingzhe. She stuck to Su Mingzhe every day and wished she could hang on him 24 hours a day.
Just as Su Mingzhe was watching the TV series with great interest, Chen Xiaofang came down from the stairs.
"Mingzhe, Ansheng just said that you have something to talk to me about?"
"Oh, Auntie, there is something I need your help with."
Su Mingzhe finally came out of the TV series and remembered his current troubles. He quickly told the story of how he founded Tianlong Food and how the company was now in a bottleneck.
Chen Xiaofang was surprised when she heard this:
"Your company has grown so big?"
Chen Xiaofang doesn't eat spicy strips or spicy slices, and is not familiar with Tianlong Food, which has only been on the market for three or four months. However, after hearing Su Mingzhe's introduction, she still felt ashamed of her previous underestimation of Su Mingzhe.
At first, she thought that Su Mingzhe had high expectations but poor skills, and that making a business plan was like a child's play and would never succeed.
As a result, in less than half a year, Su Mingzhe's company had grown into a large factory with monthly sales of six to seven million.
"It was also because there were few commodities in the domestic market that I was able to take advantage of the situation. If it were a saturated market abroad, it would not be so easy for me."
Su Mingzhe modestly said that the company's rapid development today is definitely related to his forward-looking vision.
Moreover, there is one thing he has not told Chen Xiaofang yet.
Although the company's current monthly sales have reached six or seven million, it has spread to more than 30 cities around Gusu City.
However, because Su Mingzhe implemented the expansion plan without considering costs at all, the company's net profit was very low.
February was the peak season during the Spring Festival, with sales reaching nearly eight million yuan, but the final profit was only a mere 30,000 yuan.
In the absence of competitors, monopoly sales have a profit margin of only 0.4%, not even a single point.
When General Manager Lu Youguang received the financial statements, he was shocked.
Such profit margins are too low.
It's not normal at all.
He also began to persuade Su Mingzhe to slow down the pace of expansion.
As a result, Su Mingzhe believed that he had done nothing wrong and that time was running out and he had to occupy the national market as soon as possible.
As for the company’s problems, we can just find experts to solve them.
Lu Youguang even felt a little regretful. Why did he do such a good job in logistics, which made Su Mingzhe's ambition expand faster.
We agreed to lay the foundation in one year and expand in three years.
The company has only been established for less than half a year, but Su Mingzhe has already set his sights thousands of miles away.
"You have the ability to build such a large company. There is no doubt about your ability."
Chen Xiaofang calmed down and began to think of ways to solve the problem for her son-in-law.
Su Mingzhe just talked about the company's problems, and there must be some unreasonable management issues.
Relying on a sales team to expand rapidly is probably not a reasonable approach.
If a company's sales team is poached, the company is likely to collapse.
Chen Xiaofang is not a god. She can't analyze some common problems based on her many years of experience as a senior executive, but it is difficult for her to come up with solutions.
"Mingzhe, do you want me to recommend some management to you?"
Chen Xiaofang somewhat understood what Su Mingzhe meant. She was not asking her to find problems, but to help provide people who could solve them.
"Auntie, I actually want to invite you to join my company. As for the treatment, it can be comparable to that of Mr. Lu, 10% of the shares. The annual salary is not yet determined. The monthly salary can only be 20,000 or 30,000 yuan for the time being, which is definitely not as good as your current salary..."
Su Mingzhe really wants to invite Chen Xiaofang to join.
The 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were the golden age, and people hyped them up to be the kind of place where even a pig could fly.
The problem is that once the flying pig leaves the wind outlet, it will fall into pieces.
In the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, there were too many cases of wealthy people being thrown into prison and their families broken up.
At this time, Su Mingzhe did not dare to promote senior executives at will.
Chen Xiaofang was one of the few executives that Su Mingzhe dared to appoint. Chen Xiaofang was naturally very moved when she heard Su Mingzhe's words.
My daughter Li Ansheng and Su Mingzhe are in a romantic relationship. When they reach old enough and get married, I will be Su Mingzhe's mother-in-law.
I have now joined Tianlong Food and become one of the few senior executives of the company. I also hold shares, which is a guarantee for my daughter's future.
However, Chen Xiaofang still couldn't agree.
"Mingzhe, it's not that Auntie doesn't want to help you, but Auntie can't resign."
Chen Xiaofang hesitated for a moment and then told him about her difficulties.
Ten years ago, Li Ansheng's father passed away, and Chen Xiaofang raised her daughter alone. It was her current leader who promoted her and helped her through the difficult times.
Chen Xiaofang has worked hard over the years just to repay her gratitude.
In order to repay her gratitude, she even put aside the issue of her daughter's education.
How could I quit my job to help Su Mingzhe?
After Su Mingzhe understood Chen Xiaofang's difficulties, he smiled bitterly and it seemed that he had to find another way out.
Without capable executives in charge, Tianlong Food’s current expansion speed is like adding fuel to the fire, which is extremely dangerous.
"Mingzhe, how about this, if you trust me, I will recommend someone to you, how about that?"
Su Mingzhe's eyelids twitched, then he smiled and asked, "Who is it?"
Chen Xiaofang smiled slightly:
"Have you heard of the huge waves in Pengcheng?"
Su Mingzhe recalled the contents of the newspapers he had read and said with a smile:
"I've heard a little bit about it. I heard that the boss of this Giant Wave is from Luzhou. He's very decisive in his work and has assets worth billions. He's almost the richest man in the country."
Chen Xiaofang smiled softly: "The person I recommend to you is Liang Hongyu, the sales director of Giant Wave. Liang Hongyu is really capable to be the sales director of Giant Wave. If you are interested, I can recommend her to you."
"No, Auntie," Su Mingzhe had never heard of Liang Hongyu, but he knew that since she could become a director in a company like Giant Wave, her vision, pattern, and even her ability must be strong.
"Auntie, you said she has become the sales director of Giant Wave, how could she be interested in my little shabby temple?"
"Don't worry about it. If you agree, I'll make an appointment for you and you two can talk."
Chen Xiaofang actually didn't know much about it. The reason she recommended Liang Hongyu was that she had come into contact with Liang Hongyu during her last business trip to Pengcheng and knew that she was not doing well in the current situation at Huge Wave.
This was a good opportunity for Su Mingzhe to take action.
This is a bit awkward, but that's what I mean.
Su Mingzhe had no chance to choose now. Thinking that Chen Xiaofang was his future mother-in-law and would not betray him, he nodded and agreed.
The next day, Chen Xiaofang made an appointment with the other party, and then asked Su Mingzhe to go to Pengcheng alone to recruit people.
Su Mingzhe booked a flight ticket for the afternoon, arrived in Pengcheng in the evening, and called Liang Hongyu again.
Liang Hongyu didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would come so soon. She was a little touched. Then she thought that she had nothing to do, so she simply made an appointment with Su Mingzhe to meet at a nearby cafe.
When Su Mingzhe entered the cafe, he felt his eyes brighten.
"Are you Ms. Liang Hongyu?"
"Are you Mr. Su Mingzhe?"
"hehe!"
"hehe!"
The two smiled at each other, obviously very surprised by each other's appearance.
Liang Hongyu didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would be so young.
But Su Mingzhe had never expected that Liang Hongyu would be so beautiful, with bright eyes, white teeth, rosy complexion, graceful figure and extraordinary beauty.
"Mr. Su, I'll get straight to the point."
In the end, it was Liang Hongyu who was straightforward and spoke first: "I heard from Sister Xiaofang about your Tianlong Foods situation. My request is very simple, 20% of the shares and an annual salary of no less than 300,000."
Su Mingzhe was a little surprised, but then she reacted, smiled, and replied: "I call you Sister Liang, your request is very reasonable, but I don't have too many shares, how about this? I will give you 10% of the shares, and the annual salary will be adjusted to 500,000."
At present, Su Mingzhe is the largest shareholder of Tianlong Food, holding 65% of the shares, Lu Youguang holds 10%, Lin Tao holds 5%, and the original more than 20 old employees hold 30%.
If Su Mingzhe gave Liang Hongyu another 20%, his shares would drop below 50% and he would lose absolute control.
This was something Su Mingzhe could not accept no matter what.
He doesn't want to be kicked out of the company by other shareholders in the future.
As for the annual salary, 500,000 yuan is about 40,000 yuan a month. If performance rewards are taken into consideration, the basic monthly salary is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
Tianlong Food’s current monthly sales are close to 10 million, so it is completely fine for senior executives to receive a base salary of 10,000 or 20,000.
After listening to Su Mingzhe's explanation, Liang Hongyu thought about it and agreed.
After all, as a company founder, it is normal to be afraid of being overshadowed.
Liang Hongyu expressed her understanding and said with a smile, "I don't know yet what President Su wants from me."
Su Mingzhe naturally had a lot of requirements for her.
However, he needed to show Liang Hongyu his future plans for the company first.
Otherwise, empty talk about your demands will only end up as a laughing stock.
Su Mingzhe is not a fool and would never do such a thing.
Afterwards, the two chatted in the cafe for nearly two hours.
In the end, Su Mingzhe successfully "married" the beauty.
