"Mr. Zeng, we are just a little short of getting ten more apartments."
Lu Guangyu's tone was a little unwilling, and he shook hands with Zeng Yiming helplessly.
"I was lucky. Fortunately, we finalized the B-round financing some time ago.
I used to think that the valuation of US$3 billion was high enough.
Looking at it now, I feel a little embarrassed to sit down here."
Zeng Yiming shook hands with Lu Guangyu, his face full of joy.
The valuation of Cao Cao Daojia is US$2 billion, which is only US$1 billion away from them.
This is why Lu Guangyu rejected Wal-Mart’s investment.
Otherwise, Wal-Mart wouldn't be able to give it a valuation of US$3 billion.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Zeng, Mr. Lu, how can you still have friends when you are chatting like this?"
Zhou Shaohua came over and said angrily: "We at Cao Cao Logistics are already miserable. Every time I attend an investor's cocktail party, I am shunned by many investors. Whoever I talk to about a project, they all say they are not interested."
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, you have to hold on tight. If Director Chen gives out more apartments next time, you will regret it to death."
Lu Guangyu smiled and patted Zhou Shaohua's arm to give him some advice.
"I think you might as well go to Mr. Zhuang. Pinduoduo needs the warehousing and transportation capabilities of Cao Cao Logistics. You two are a perfect match.
Since the outside world is not interested, why can’t our own people invest in our own people?”
"Hey, what Mr. Lu said makes sense. I'm going to talk to Mr. Zhuang right now."
Zhou Shaohua's eyes lit up and he left directly, very simply.
Lu Guangyu shook his head helplessly: "Old Zhou is still like this."
At the beginning, when Chen Dongcheng recruited Lu Guangyu, Zhou Shaohua was Cao Cao's top speed leader.
It was just that someone needed to take over the logistics project in the later stage. Zhou Shaohua, who had experience in this field, was transferred by Chen Dongcheng.
To say that there are no complaints would be unrealistic.
Who doesn’t want to sit in the office, sipping tea and reviewing documents?
Just by looking at Zhou Shaohua's skin, you can tell how miserable the logistics industry is.
The middle-aged man who used to be fair-skinned and pampered himself all day long suddenly turned into a dark-skinned middle-aged man.
This transformation is seen by everyone.
Many people within the company are discussing that Caocao Logistics is a fire pit.
Zhou Shaohua was also holding back his energy and wanted to lead the brother in charge of the logistics project to prove it to the people in other subsidiaries.
It’s not that Cao Cao Logistics has no potential, it’s that it’s red and purple.
There's no point in talking nonsense, you have to let your results speak for themselves.
What are grades?
The real money invested by investors and the share of the logistics market they occupy are achievements!
…
This high-level meeting is highly anticipated by employees of each subsidiary.
Some even jokingly called it the "spoils-sharing conference."
When they returned to their respective company floors, Lu Guangyu and the others were surrounded.
"Mr. Lu, please tell me how many apartments we have been allocated?"
Facing many eager employees, Lu Guangyu sighed.
"We lost to Little Blue Book by one move and were only allocated 50 apartments."
Then, Lu Guangyu explained clearly to the employees the distribution principles set by Chen Dongcheng.
Everyone has the same expression, which is regret.
"What a pity, we are just a little bit behind."
"Yeah, that's 10 apartments!"
"Damn, those grandsons are really getting an advantage."
"I'm so angry. If we accept Wal-Mart's investment, can we surpass each other?"
…
The employees talked a lot and were unhappy.
Even though ten apartments are not many.
But with ten less sets, each of them has a much smaller chance of winning.
"Okay, don't be discouraged. From what I know about Director Chen, Baolong Apartment is just the first project.
In the future, the group will provide more renovated apartments to everyone, and all you need to do is work hard.
Not for me and Director Chen, but for yourselves.
In order to have a home in Shanghai, you no longer have to worry about others driving you away from your home."
Lu Guangyu is a master figure in management.
How to mobilize employees' emotions has long been familiar to everyone.
A few words can help many employees subside from depression and unwillingness to become more motivated.
"For this lottery, we specially designed an extraction procedure.
You don’t have to worry about whether someone will cheat or anything like that.
The design of this program was specifically hired from outside the company.
It has been tested several times and is absolutely safe and reliable.”
Lu Guangyu said with a smile: "In about a while, it will be our turn.
I have already sent the list of employees in our company who meet the standards to Director Chen, everyone can just wait for the list."
A small lottery program can be created by our own employees.
However, for the sake of safety, the lottery drawing process this time was anonymously produced by an outside party.
Whether you win or not depends purely on luck and performance.
The waiting was excruciating. Everyone in the conference room held their breath, silently crossed their hands, closed their eyes and prayed.
"bite!"
Lu Guangyu's cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Director Chen sent me the list. Let me see who is so lucky."
Lu Guangyu smiled and opened the list, and fifty names appeared in the form.
Not all employees of Cao Cao Home are qualified for the lottery.
First of all, you must have more than two years of work experience, and your annual job rating should be above B.
Only employees who meet these qualifications are eligible to participate in the lottery.
Of course, the better the rating, the higher the weight of winning.
"Liu Guangxu, Zhao Ruize, Wang Huijin..."
Lu Guangyu said each name one by one.
The employee who was mentioned was full of surprise and couldn't believe that he had actually won.
"Okay, that's the 50 employees above. I have sent the list to the DingTalk group. You can check it carefully later.
Don’t be envious of employees who didn’t participate this time or who just joined the company. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance.
This is Chairman Chen’s promise to everyone, and it is also my promise to everyone.”
After Lu Guangyu finished speaking, he left, and the scene immediately exploded.
"Damn it, you guys are so lucky, take a breath, I'm so envious!"
"Huijin, it's not safe for a girl like you to live alone. Why don't you consider me?"
"Goddess Huijin, I'll treat you to Japanese food tonight. The place is up to you."
…
Scenes like this appear in various subsidiaries, some are laughing and some are sad.
After all, there are only a few lucky ones. There are more than 20,000 people in the entire company.
Only these five hundred people are lucky enough to have this opportunity to settle down in the magical city.
An employee of Pinduoduo couldn't help but post his record of winning the lottery online, saying with emotion: "I have been living in Shanghai for more than five years, and this is the first time I have a small family.
Although it's not big, it's enough.
Thank you, Mr. Chen, for giving me a warm little home."
Careful copywriting like this, coupled with the recent hot discussion, goes viral in minutes.
Many employees who were selected by the lottery posted screenshots of their own lists, making many netizens envious.
In order to settle down in the magical city, many people even settled in Kunshan.
No, it's because I don't have enough money and houses in the city are too expensive.
Titles such as "Naughty Boss!" were slapped on Chen Dongcheng's head by many netizens.
It took so long to complete the renovation of Baolong Apartment, and the renovation cost of more than 100 million was not in vain.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows, high-end floor materials, kitchen and bathroom are also all made from good domestic brands.
Although each apartment is small, the decoration standard is not bad at all.
Coupled with the design of industry masters, each apartment makes people want to live in it every day.
An employee filmed a video of the interior of an apartment and posted it on Douyin, which easily received hundreds of thousands of likes.
“My dream home is a bit small, but it’s really exquisite.”
"My house is only 80 to 90 square meters, and I'm not even willing to spend 100,000 yuan to decorate it. It's too extravagant."
"This is the delivery standard for fine decoration. 2,500/square meter is not expensive."
"I just did a search and found that the housing prices around Baolong Apartment are all above 70,000 yuan. I'm so envious."
"I haven't even saved enough for the down payment of a house in Kunshan. People don't have to spend a penny to live in the city center anymore. I'll be a lemon first."
For several days, Baolong Apartment has been on the hot search.
I was so frightened that several long-term rental apartment companies were asking around whether Cao Cao Group was interested in entering the long-term rental apartment market.
The small market of long-term rental apartments cannot withstand competition from giants like Cao Cao Group.
The valuations of the subsidiaries of Cao Cao Group alone are comparable to those of giants like Ahri.
After allocating apartments, Chen Dongcheng felt a little more relaxed and went to the Guozheng Center to have a look.
All three office buildings are under construction internally, and the renovation progress is in line with the expected plan.
Chen Dongcheng made an inspection tour. As the father of Party A, the person in charge of the construction party knelt down and licked the whole process for fear that he would be dissatisfied.
Finally the man left, and the person in charge of the construction company breathed a sigh of relief.
Instruct the workers to continue working as fast as possible while maintaining quality and quantity.
Watching the supercar leave, many young workers at the construction site had envious looks in their eyes.
Who doesn’t want to be dressed in brocade and angry on horseback?
Who doesn’t want to drive a supercar and flirt with girls?
"My eyes are all about you, sweet and sweet uknowwhatimean..."
Since singing this song at the last annual meeting, Chen Dongcheng took the time to record the song, edit it and set it as his own ringtone.
There was a red light just ahead, and Chen Dongcheng braked.
I picked up the phone and took a look. It was Li Xingyao calling.
"Hello?"
"Sister Ying and I have cooked. Do you have time today?"
"I'm walking towards you, I'll be there in a minute."
"Then we'll wait for you, please drive slowly."
Chen Dongcheng hung up the phone and sent a WeChat message to Xie Jingyu.
"Turn down the banquet for me tonight. I have something to go to Xingyao's place."
"OK."
Xie Jingyu was not far behind, following in a car with Pang Zhengyang.
This means that the traffic in Shanghai is too congested, otherwise it would be difficult for them to catch up with Bugatti.
After going around in circles, Chen Dongcheng drove to No. 5 World Trade Center.
This house was previously bought for Zhang Lu, but now it has been vacated and someone has been hired to redesign it so that Li Xingyao can live in it.
No. 5 World Trade Center is in Shanghai, and at least it can be considered a first-line luxury house with a river view.
After registering at the door, we drove directly into the underground garage, and many owners paid attention along the way.
Supercars of Bugatti's level are somewhat rare in the World Trade Center Riverside Garden.
This kind of supercar should appear in top luxury communities such as Tomson Yipin and Binjiang Arc de Triomphe.
