Chapter 1666: I have the confidence to defeat them
No one had any objections, except Li Sheng who kept his head down and said nothing.
I know he has opinions, and they are big ones.
So I left Li Sheng alone in the office, but before I could say anything, Li Sheng said to me:
"Mr. Chen, I know what you want to say to me. In fact, you don't need to consider my feelings. The overall situation is more important. I have no objection."
Although he said so, he definitely didn't think so, and you could tell from his tone.
I was not in a hurry to speak. I handed him a cigarette first, and then said slowly: "Li Sheng, I know that Siya Clothing has a lot to do with you. Now I am going to cooperate with them again and put myself in their shoes."
Now, if I were you, I would definitely feel very unhappy."
Li Sheng lit a cigarette and remained silent.
I took a puff of cigarette, exhaled it and continued: "But I don't know if you still remember when I first said that I wanted to replace Siya Clothing's position in the domestic clothing industry. My goal is not just to replace
They. If I say this, can you understand?"
He nodded, but still didn't speak.
I continued: "Cooperating with them is only temporary, we need them as a stepping stone. Do you know why?"
He shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, you really don't need to explain so much to me. I support whatever you think."
"I have to make it clear to you that I am cooperating with them because I have received reliable information that Yuchen Trading is about to move to Chongqing. We will meet at any time, and if we don't have a strong backend by then, they want to destroy us.
, it’s just a piece of cake.”
Li Sheng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why did they suddenly move to Chongqing?"
I shook my head and replied: "I don't know, but if they move here, it will be detrimental to us, so we must take a preemptive strike1"
Li Sheng is a rational person, he knows the overall situation and what should be done.
After a while of silence, he finally said to me: "Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean. Let's cooperate with Siya Clothing. I really have no objection."
I smiled and nodded, and said to him: "Don't worry, I will negotiate with them with full authority. You don't have to worry about anything."
Li Sheng nodded again, then sighed softly and said: "To be honest, I really don't want to have anything to do with Siya Clothing, but that doesn't mean I hate them. After all, it was my father's negligence that led to bankruptcy, and then
It was just taken over by Siya Clothing."
"You just can't get over this hurdle in your heart, right?"
"You still understand me," Li Sheng said solemnly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I think about it now. What happened in the past is in the past, and we should look forward."
"That's right. I believe that if your father was still here, he would also like you to be more open-minded."
After saying that, I suddenly thought of a question, and turned to Li Sheng and asked: "By the way, does that person named Xiao Siya know you?"
"We know me, but I have changed my name now. She doesn't recognize me, and she has never seen me."
"That's good."
Li Sheng suddenly asked me: "Mr. Chen, you mentioned cooperation with Siya Clothing. I would like to know how to cooperate? Will such a big company cooperate with a small company like ours?"
I had already thought about it, so I said without hesitation: "Aren't they going to hold a clothing industry exchange meeting in Shenzhen soon? Let's show our faces at this exchange meeting, and then go to discuss cooperation with Xiao Siya
matter."
"The people who will go there will definitely be the top clothing companies in the country. How can we stand out?"
I smiled mysteriously, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "It's up to you."
"Look at me?" Li Sheng frowned and said, "You mean, we come up with amazing design works at the exchange meeting?"
"Yes, this is the only way we can stand out from dozens of clothing companies. Of course, our works must have our own style."
Li Sheng took a breath and said, "Mr. Chen, you are putting a lot of pressure on me. 1
"Are you scared?"
Li Sheng smiled confidently and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm confident I can defeat them."
"That's right, I believe you, so don't think about other things during this period, and go all out to design the work at the Shenzhen Exchange Conference next month."
Li Sheng nodded heavily. I could tell that he was very passionate at that moment. For a designer, the most important thing is of course to be recognized by the industry.
Otherwise, why would those painters or calligraphers like to hold exhibitions?
They no longer lack money, but what they lack is fame and attention.
Li Sheng has this ability, but has always lacked this platform.
In the next few days, I will still focus on the expansion of the company.
Gradually it became formalized and detailed rules and regulations were formulated.
The production department, administration department, finance department and marketing department were determined.
Under the production department are the supply department, quality control department, and technology department, with Gu Lisa serving as the vice president of production.
The number of employees in the company has also grown from about thirty to seventy at the beginning. With all the management included, the company now has eighty-three people.
That afternoon, Zhang Bin suddenly came to me and said he wanted to borrow some money from me.
I asked him what he was borrowing money for?
He said with some embarrassment: "Yang Xia's family agrees that Yang Xia and I will get married, but we need a bride price. I don't have that much on hand right now, so I want to borrow some from you."
"Hey! Is this a good thing? How much dowry does their family need?"
"It's not much, just to go through the motions, it's 28,000."
Twenty-eight thousand betrothal gifts is indeed not much, and there is rarely such a term as betrothal gift in Chongqing.
Zhang Bin has been working in the company for more than two months. Basically, his salary has been used to pay off debts, and he really doesn't have any money on hand.
I asked him again: "You don't have any money, how can you organize this wedding?"
Zhang Bin said with a smile: "It's okay. I'll make more money. When I get it, I'll hold a wedding. But her family needs this gift now, and they said that if I can't get it, they won't let Yang Xia date me."
This makes me wonder. I haven't even set a wedding date yet, and yet I'm asking for a bride price. Is there such a thing?
It's not that I don't want to borrow it, I just think it's a little too weird.
Then, I asked Zhang Bin: "Does Yang Xia know? What does she think?"
"She knew that she was the one who told me about this. She said that as long as I took the money, she could associate with me openly."
"Oh, this"
"Brother Chen, are you a little embarrassed?"
I smiled and said, "It's not that it's embarrassing, I just feel a little strange. But if you want it, I can give it to you now, but I hope you will be more sensible. It is best to discuss this matter with Yang Xia's family.
"
Zhang Bin nodded, and then said to me: "Okay, I'll discuss it with her family first."
"Well, A Bin, it's not that I won't lend it to you. I'm afraid that you will be cheated. If there is no problem after discussion, I will give it to you as soon as possible."
Zhang Bin smiled and said: "It's okay, Brother Chen, I understand. I can think of this for me. I'm very happy."
"Well, then you go ahead and ask clearly."
But unexpectedly, Zhang Bin came to tell me the next day that it was no longer necessary.
I asked him what happened?
He sighed and said: "I went to their house last night to find her parents, and I saw guests coming to Yang Xia's house, and they went to propose marriage to Yang Xia's house."
I was doubly surprised and said, "Ah? Didn't I ask you to give me a bride price and then agree to your relationship with Yang Xia? What's going on?"
