I didn't say anything anymore. I just waited patiently for him to answer me.
After a while, he finally said: "Mr. Chen, you are young and promising, and you have very good ideas. But I still have concerns."
I smiled and said, "It's okay. If you have any concerns, Mr. Gu, please tell me and I will explain them to you one by one."
"Actually, the biggest concern is that you belong to the capital market now. I personally don't like dealing with capital, especially since your investors are the top domestic investment companies."
So that's what happened. I smiled wisely and said, "Mr. Gu, let me tell you the truth! The reason why we are in such difficult economic times is actually because of Hongsheng Capital. In order to open up foreign markets, my main purpose is
It’s also to get rid of Hongsheng Capital.”
Mr. Gu narrowed his eyes and said, "Can we get rid of it? They are a first-class capital company!"
"Yes, Hongsheng Capital is not that scary. As long as I can open up the international market, they will have no choice but to retreat."
Mr. Gu lit up a cigarette and took a puff before saying: "If that's the case, I'd be quite interested. You're right. We should have our own brand and promote our own brand to
worldwide."
I saw hope, and then I nodded heavily and replied: "Yes, our first step now is the European market, and we will gradually expand to the United States and Africa in the future."
Mr. Gu nodded, seeming to be interested.
After a moment of silence, he added: "But this matter is quite big, and I also plan to transfer the factory to my daughter, so I will discuss this matter with my daughter."
"It's okay, I can wait for news from you, Mr. Gu."
"Let's do this! My daughter happens to be returning to China today. I'll take you to meet her tonight and you can have a good talk with her."
I nodded and said, "Absolutely."
So, we decided like this, and Mr. Gu called me again in the evening to tell me the location.
I really see hope. The merger of textile and garment factories is not to relieve economic pressure, but also to make plans for the future.
None of what Mr. Gu and I said was false. I want to build my own brand, integrating everything from textiles to fabrics to finished clothing to online and offline marketing.
This is the first step, and the second step is to build the brand of the home furnishing factory.
This is not an easy task. The current situation in China is that we do not have our own brands and can only use foreign brands, but they are made by ourselves.
There are too many, whether it is electronic products, clothing, or even the automotive field.
However, we have very few brands of our own. It is not easy to build a brand, which requires a lot of marketing and capital investment.
But no matter how difficult it is, I will persevere because this is my original intention in running a business.
After returning to the company, I continued to deal with the things that I had not finished before.
Before leaving get off work, Wang Lan from the Finance Department suddenly came to my office.
She walked in with a document in her hand and said to me: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao from the Program Department came to me for reimbursement before. I looked at his reimbursement form and there seems to be something wrong with it."
I frowned immediately and asked her, "What's the problem?"
She handed the folder over and said at the same time: "The upper column is the cost of the equipment. I checked it and there is no problem. However, the lower column is the payment for the construction of the computer room. I think it is obviously wrong."
I confidently looked at the financial statement Wang Lan handed me. Because I am not born in finance, I could not see any problems at first glance.
Wang Lan then said to me: "I think the construction cost of the computer room is too high. Even the labor cost is an average of 1,000 yuan a day. This is terrible."
"You don't have standard labor charges here?" I asked her.
"I didn't make this form, it was given to me by Mr. Zhao. After reading it, I thought there was something wrong with it, so I didn't sign it."
I took a closer look and discovered that there was indeed a serious problem in the construction of the computer room, with the total expenditure reaching as high as 870,000 yuan.
Does it cost so much to build a computer room, excluding equipment costs?
Moreover, the quotations for all the above materials are ridiculously high. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to find any clues.
I suddenly became angry and slammed the folder on the desk.
Wang Lan was so frightened that she trembled all over. I said to her: "It's okay. You can go back first and I will handle it."
Wang Lan nodded and walked out of the office.
I immediately picked up the phone and called my assistant Yang Man, and said to her: "Go to the software department immediately and call Zhao Liang."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
I paused, then hurriedly called her: "Wait, forget it, there's no need to go, I'll go find him myself."
I thought about it, I should take the initiative to talk to him about this matter.
Just because I have a close relationship with him, I don't want to make him look bad because of these things, but today he must tell me one thing or two.
I picked up this folder and went to the software department, but Zhao Liang was not in the office. It wasn't time to get off work yet!
I went to see his assistant Luo Qian again, but she wasn't there either.
I had no choice but to ask an employee in the software department: "Where is your Mr. Zhao?"
"Mr. Chen, I don't know."
When I was about to take out my mobile phone to call Zhao Liang, another employee's voice came from next to me: "Mr. Zhao went out two hours ago, with Assistant Luo."
I was a little angry at the time, and then asked the employee: "Are you involved in the construction of our company's computer room?"
The employee shook his head and replied: "Isn't Mr. Zhao responsible for these? He didn't let us participate."
"Then do you know how long it took to build the computer room?"
They all shook their heads and replied: "I'm not sure. Mr. Zhao is in charge of these things. We will do whatever he asks us to do."
I'm really speechless. What kind of plane is this Zhao Liang doing?
I was so angry that I had a big head. Do you really think that because I have a good relationship with him, I can do whatever I want?
It's okay for him to have an affair with Luo Qian. I can't control the matter, but he can't let him mess around with matters related to the company.
I have to confront him about this matter, so I don't plan to call him. I will come to him again after I come to the company tomorrow.
When I was about to get off work, I received a call from Mr. Gu and he told me where to eat.
After get off work, I drove directly there.
It turned out to be a hot pot restaurant, and Mr. Gu was already waiting for me at the door.
After we met, he said to me: "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry that this is the first time I invite you to dinner but you come here to eat hot pot. My daughter has been abroad for several years and she just came back. I thought I would let her try the hot pot in my hometown."
."
I sneered and said, "It's okay. I also like hot pot. I'm a little unhappy if you want to treat me to Western food."
We walked into the hot pot restaurant while talking and laughing.
I followed Mr. Gu to a box inside. After opening the door, I saw Mr. Gu's daughter. She was pretty good-looking and looked quite innocent.
When we entered, she was taking orders from the waiter.
After seeing us come in, she quickly stood up and greeted me enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Gulisa."
