The heads of various departments at the headquarters first reported on the status of their respective departments.
Yu Jingjie, Miao Hongfa, and Pei Hongda also reported on the status of the branches they were responsible for.
Everyone present was very surprised. They did not expect that the company spent so much in just a few months.
The purchase of experimental equipment cost 260 million euros.
Shengguang Solar Company spent more than 100 million to clean up its foreign debt, renovate the company's production lines and lay off some employees, plus the company's daily expenses.
A total of 260 million was spent in just a few months.
Miao Hongfa spent a lot of money on building two buildings, purchasing some experimental equipment, and decorating them, which cost more than 50 million.
The Rocket Bear Company that Pei Hongda is in charge of has even more astonishing expenses. As of December 31, the cost was as high as more than 420 million.
Everyone present was surprised except Zhou Ziru, who did not expect that the company spent such an astonishing amount.
In particular, the purchase of experimental equipment cost more than 200 million euros. This is euros, but if converted into RMB, it would be more than one billion.
It's impossible not to be shocked.
Shan Xiangyun secretly estimated in his mind that if he included the headquarters decoration, purchase of office equipment, personnel and other expenses, the total cost last year actually exceeded 2 billion.
How could it cost so much? It only took five months from the establishment of Xingling Group, and the average cost per month was 400 million. This is incredible.
"Lao Pei, have you made the company's expansion plan?" Gao Jin asked.
"It's done. I will submit it to the chairman for review after the meeting." Pei Hongda stood up and replied.
"Expand several cities"
"twenty"
"Have the persons in charge of each city been determined?"
"It has been confirmed that three people will be dispatched to each city, one to coordinate the overall situation, one to promote the app, and one to manage the delivery boy."
"Twenty teams are already in place and can set off at any time to explore the market without affecting the normal operation of the Imperial City market."
"How much money is expected to cost"
"Chairman, if we expand to twenty cities together, it will take three to four months to gain a foothold, and it is estimated to cost about three billion."
"Ninety-nine percent of the funds are used for marketing promotions, and less than one percent is used for labor costs, office rental costs, delivery staff subsidies and tooling costs..."
As soon as Pei Hongda finished speaking, many people made a gasp of air.
I was mentally prepared to burn money on takeaways, but I didn’t expect to burn money to this extent.
Many people have a question in their mind: how much money does the chairman have, and how dare he do this for the first time when starting a business? This is crazy.
"Come to me after the meeting with the report."
"You don't need to worry about funds. As long as your report convinces me, funds will be allocated at any time." Gao Jin said calmly.
"yes"
Pei Hongda said seriously, Gao Jin nodded and waved his hand, asking Pei Hongda to sit down.
Gao Jin looked at Guan Hongsheng, who shook his head to indicate that he had nothing to say. He then looked at Zhou Ziru, who also behaved in the same way.
"Manager Shan, have you made reservations for the restaurant?" Gao Jin said with a smile.
Shan Xiangyun stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Chairman, the restaurant has been booked. We have booked Fengqi Restaurant for two tables."
Gao Jin nodded with satisfaction. He had been to Fengqi Restaurant, which was considered a high-end restaurant in Shangjing City. He raised his arm and looked at his watch.
"After drinking at noon, you don't have to go to work in the afternoon. Let's go back and arrange the work for the afternoon. I'll give you fifteen minutes. We will meet in the lobby downstairs in fifteen minutes."
"Meeting dismissed"
Gao Jin said something, stood up and left the conference room.
After Gao Jin left, everyone felt much more relaxed, and many people stretched out to relax.
"Everyone, the content of today's meeting is confidential. The chairman did not say that we must do this."
Shan Xiangyun stood up and said something. Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all nodded. They were not novices and they all understood what Shan Xiangyun meant.
They all returned to their departments to start arranging work. Yu Jingjie, Zhao Hansheng, and Miao Hongfa went downstairs together.
Zhao Hansheng didn't speak today because Gao Jin meant it. His intention was very simple. He asked Zhao Hansheng to listen carefully and then submit a plan for the company's security personnel allocation.
How many security personnel do you assign to the solar energy company, how many security personnel do you assign to the comprehensive research institute, and how many security personnel do you assign to the headquarters?
How to prevent the company's high-tech secrets from being leaked and how to respond if something goes wrong required Zhao Hansheng to make a complete plan.
Zhao Hansheng's face was calm, but he was feeling quite stressed inside.
This year, the annual salaries of Zhao Hansheng and Du Ziran were increased, with an increase of 50,000 yuan.
If your salary is increased, you must do work worthy of the price to reflect your value.
The three of them walked out of the elevator and sat down in the leisure area. Yu Jingjie took out a cigarette and gave each of them one, and the three of them started puffing away.
The security guard next to him curled his lips when he saw this situation, but did not come to stop it.
I just saw three people coming out of the special elevator of Taizi Company. Moreover, the three of them are very stylish and have different temperaments from those ordinary employees.
It's better not to make trouble for yourself, otherwise, if the prince gets angry, he won't be able to keep his job.
After a short time, Gao Jin and others all went downstairs, and everyone drove their own cars towards Fengqi Restaurant.
It doesn't matter if you drink too much. Shan Xiangyun has already arranged for people to drive everyone home or back to the hotel.
About forty minutes later, everyone gathered at Fengqi Hotel and entered the second floor to start drinking.
Gao Jin drank a lot. As long as someone came to toast, Gao Jin would not refuse anyone and would clink glasses with everyone.
After the meal, I was sent home by the bodyguards around me. Fortunately, Gao Yuande was not at home, otherwise, these bodyguards would have been scolded by Gao Yuande.
One night passed.
Early the next morning, Gao Jin was woken up by Gao Yuande when he was drowsily sleeping. He got up, washed and had breakfast, and then drove to work.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Pei Hongda came to Gao Jin with a report.
Gao Jin invited Pei Hongda to have tea with him to talk about the expansion, and the topic unknowingly shifted to this month's promotion.
"Young Master Gao, this month is very strange."
"So far, our three companies have not launched promotions since the promotion ended last month."
"I have prepared funds to deal with their new wave of promotional offensive, but they have not responded yet."
Pei Hongda frowned and told the story. Gao Jin was also stunned. There is no promotion, what the hell is this.
Could it be said that both companies have acquiesced in the existence of Rocket Bear takeout?
On this point, Gao Jin really guessed it right. Is Kangaroo Company satisfied? The company had to face reality and admit that Rocket Bear Company had gained a foothold in the Imperial City market.
The department of Kangaroo Company is more comprehensive. According to internal data monitoring, after three months of promotion, the number of orders placed by customers through Kangaroo Company’s takeout platform is still the first.
Rocket Bear Company ranked second, and Are You Satisfied Company ranked third.
Rocket Bear Company has established a firm foothold in the market of Shangjing City, the imperial capital, and already has a group of active customers. It is no longer realistic for you to suppress them.
What's more, in just three months, Kangaroo Company consumed as much as 500 million, spending more than Rocket Bear Company.
The number of customers is different, so sending so many red envelopes to each customer, including rebates to merchants, is a big investment.
The more orders, the more it will cost.
Li Xing also needs to take a breather and wait until the promotion is over to see how Rocket Bear performs. If Rocket Bear continues to engage in promotions, Kangaroo Company must also follow suit.
Chen Liang, CEO of Are You Satisfied, wishes that the two companies would not engage in promotions so that they could free up their energy to fight with several major shareholders and settle the internal affairs first.
Therefore, all three parties were waiting for the other party to play their cards. As a result, they were embarrassed and no one played their cards.
