Chapter 1195: It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice
After I came out of the detention center, I felt like I was back in another world, but my heart was still empty.
Back in the car, Chen Min said to me: "Now you should know what to do next, right?"
I slapped my forehead and said somewhat depressedly: "The only thing that makes me depressed is that even An Lan doesn't know who is behind this."
"Didn't she say that? Go find Gao Sheng, maybe he will know."
"Who is Gao Sheng? I've never seen him."
Chen Min said to me while driving the car: "Gao Sheng resigned a few months ago. He thought you were dead and was not in the mood to work anymore. After resigning, I heard that he went to Wuxi on a bicycle.
The human area is quite manly, but I don’t know what the situation is like now.”
I suddenly remembered that when I came back for the first time that day, I talked to him and he was very excited when he heard the news that I was still alive.
I then asked Chen Min: "Then what did he do in the company before?"
"He is mainly responsible for overseas trade operations and is also the deputy general manager of the group."
"So, we must have got him back."
"But it's difficult to contact him. He has a mobile phone signal in a no-man's land and cannot be contacted by the outside world at all. He can only contact us through a satellite phone."
"It's been so long, it's impossible that no one is still going, right?"
After Chen Min was silent for a while, he sighed and said: "It's hard to say. Logically speaking, he should be back, but we have no news, so we can't rule out that he may still be in no man's land."
"You won't die in no man's land, right?" I asked in surprise.
Chen Min also frowned subconsciously, glanced at me and said, "Don't tell me, it's possible."
"Yes! Otherwise, why doesn't he have any news at all? Now he also knows that I am still alive. He should have come back long ago."
"Come down and contact him yourself. I will give you his mobile phone number and some contact information of his family members later."
I nodded and said no more.
After arriving at the company, Chen Min reminded me again when I was about to get off the car: "By the way, let me remind you again that the current situation of the group is really bad! You must find a way to make up for the loans and arrears, otherwise
The consequences could be disastrous."
"I have no money, what should I do?"
"Find a way!"
I looked at the building in front of me, thought for a long time, and joked: "This building is so valuable, why not sell it?"
"you sure?"
"How much can it be sold for?"
"It's hard to say. At present, more than half of the loan has not been repaid. If it is sold now, it will be equivalent to refinancing. We still need to know the details."
After Chen Min finished speaking, he paused and added: "If you really plan to sell, I can go to the bank today to find out."
"Can it be sold?"
"Of course, you have the final say now."
If this is really the case, then I definitely recommend selling this building, because now we need money for turnover.
And didn't An Lan also say that the whole group needs to be reintegrated, so naturally there will be a large number of layoffs, not to mention the need for such a good office building.
After weighing it for a while, I finally said to Chen Min: "Then you go and ask. If it's suitable, I still recommend selling it."
"Okay, then I'll leave first. If you need anything, just call me."
I nodded, and after watching Chen Min leave, I returned to the group building alone.
When I returned to An Lan's office, I found the letter of appointment from the cabinet on her desk. Sure enough, it had been prepared and only needed my signature to take effect.
I went to the safe to test my birthday again, and the safe was actually opened. There were several pieces of information inside, not just bidding-related information.
I took a look and found all the financial data of the group for the past six months. They were all on paper and very detailed.
There is also a USB flash drive, I don’t know what’s in it.
However, after seeing this information, I had a question, whether An Lan had thought of this step a long time ago.
Otherwise, how could she be so prepared? Did she know that I would come back here?
But now, how should I carry out my work?
I sat on the office chair where An Lan had sat, closed my eyes and meditated for a long time.
Only then did we finally make a decision. Now we should revitalize the group and put all industries into operation.
Of course, the most important thing is the new energy bidding matter. This matter may be related to the group's stock market, so An Lan talked about it emphatically in the detention center before.
While I was thinking about these messy things, I suddenly heard the sound of high-heeled shoes coming from outside the office.
Not knowing who was coming, I suddenly sat up.
Then there was a knock on the office door, and I subconsciously asked outside: "Who is it?"
"Mr. Chen, it's me, Yang Man."
This name sounds familiar. If you think about it carefully, isn't it that assistant?
I immediately said "come in", and after the office door was pushed open, it was she who walked in.
"Mr. Chen, you are really here!"
"Why are you here?" I looked at her and asked doubtfully.
"I heard that you were back and living in Mr. An's office. I rushed here as soon as I heard the news."
"Oh," I nodded and said, "You should know everything about the company, right?"
"I know, but I don't know why it's so serious. Mr. Chen, are you coming back this time to resolve this matter?"
"That's right!" After a pause, I asked her again, "By the way, how much do you know about the company's current situation?"
"In which aspect?"
"Tell me about the current situation of the company first? Tell me what you know."
Yang Man nodded, and then said to me: "After this incident happened to the company, the sales of its products plummeted, and there was basically no profit, including those dealers.
Then don’t threaten to purchase goods.”
As she spoke, she sighed heavily and complained: "It's true, the tree hasn't fallen yet. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see the show. Before anything happened, everyone was extremely hypocritical."
I can somewhat understand that this is a shopping mall. When you are good, people are trying to get close to you, but when you are bad, they are eager to sever ties with you.
Humanity is so sophisticated!
After I nodded to indicate that I understood, I picked up the bidding information on my desk and asked her: "Do you know about the new energy bidding that the company is currently participating in?"
"I know a little bit about this, but not much."
"Tell me what you know."
Yang Man spoke again: "We were successfully shortlisted before anything happened to the company. We have now entered the final review stage. I don't know if Mr. An has prepared the materials."
An Lan should have prepared the materials, but there was such a big turmoil at this juncture. The subsequent participation in the bidding is really: it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
It’s probably very difficult to win the bid if you don’t have money. Even if I don’t know much about new energy, I know that it requires money.
The company might have had this ability before the accident, but what can it do to compete now?
