"How can we not be anxious? My family is not like your family, where one family lives in a courtyard with three rooms. Our family of seven lives in two rooms, a house of more than 60 square meters." Chen Lijun rolled her eyes at Zhang Junping.
"Your current salary is not low. With the business trip subsidy, your annual income can almost buy a small courtyard. As it happens, there are many people in Sijiu City who want to sell their courtyards and go abroad. You can buy a courtyard house.
I can tell you that the room for appreciation of a courtyard house is much greater than that of antiques."
"You're talking lightly. A small courtyard house costs tens of thousands. Where can I get so much money? The subsidies for going abroad are high, but how long can I stay abroad?" Chen Lijun rolled her eyes at Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping specifically applied for the art company's overseas subsidy from the city leaders, and the subsidy was based on the average salary of the place where the business trip was conducted.
Like Chen Lijun, one day's business trip subsidy is higher than one month's salary in China.
This part of the salary is paid directly in the local currency of the place of business trip.
"Okay, if you want to buy it, the company can lend you money!" Zhang Junping touched his nose and smiled.
Although the two of them are very familiar with each other, and you know my strengths and weaknesses, and I know your depth, Zhang Junping is still unwilling to lend money to the other party directly.
It's not that they don't trust each other, but that they don't want to mix other things into the relationship between the two of them.
"You are the only smart one!" Chen Lijun gave Zhang Junping another look.
Obviously, Chen Lijun also understood that lending her money through the company was the most reasonable approach.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that this is not a few hundred yuan, but tens of thousands of yuan.
"Haha! I don't want the relationship between us to be mixed with other things!" Zhang Junping pulled Chen Lijun and held her in his arms.
Chen Lijun just rolled her eyes and shocked Zhang Junping. Now that she is here again, Zhang Junping will naturally not be polite to her.
"I will go to Zurich the day after tomorrow to see if I can buy or rent a store like this and open a store in Zurich." While Zhang Junping was talking about his itinerary with Chen Lijun, his other hand was also busy.
"This place has just opened. Is it too soon to go to Zurich to open a store?" Chen Lijun said with some worry.
"It's not fast! We are already too far behind the rest of the world. We must speed up our pace in order to catch up with the world's trends."
"But, there is no money in the company's account, do you still have money?"
"I can still get this little money." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
Zhang Junping does not plan to buy the shop in Zurich, but rent it, which does not cost much money.
Today's income of more than 10 million French francs alone is enough to rent and open stores in Zurich, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
"How much money do you have?" Chen Lijun couldn't help but asked curiously.
"It's not a lot. It should be enough to buy half of Sijiucheng.
Before liberation, there was Loubancheng in Sijiu City. It is said that wealth can buy half of Bj City.
I should be the same!
You can call me Zhang Bancheng from now on!" Zhang Junping said jokingly.
"So many?" Chen Lijun exclaimed.
"So! You don't have to worry about the company running out of money. When the time comes, I will come up with the money." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
…
"Okay, you are the manager, you have the final say!" Chen Lijun enjoyed Zhang Junping's exploration.
In fact, Chen Lijun is a very traditional woman. On the outside, she is the heroine on the inside. Since she had a relationship with Zhang Junping, she has regarded Zhang Junping as her man in her heart.
What a man says is what he says.
I will only give advice and will not interfere with a man's decision.
"This place has just opened. It can't do without our people. Otherwise, I will take you to Zurich, Berlin, and London together."
"Don't!" Chen Lijun held down Zhang Junping's hand.
If they don't stop it, they will be honest with each other.
"Okay, come to the third floor tonight and let's continue talking about the next development." Zhang Junping stopped what he was doing with a smile.
Just as Zhang Junping predicted, the sales on the second day plummeted.
The two stores have a full-day turnover of less than one million.
The gap between two days was a bit big, and even Rosa and others who were used to working in luxury stores couldn't accept it.
"Girls, this is already a very good result. What are we selling? It is not the daily consumer goods on the street.
It is a precious work of art that is more luxurious than luxury goods.
There is a saying in China that if you do not open for three years, you will eat for three years if you open.
Therefore, there is no need for the street to feel sad and disappointed just for a day's turnover.
I can honestly tell you that I can accept operating at a loss within one year and not making any money within three years.
Regardless of whether you are losing money or not making money, your salary will not be reduced by a penny." Zhang Junping comforted him with a smile.
Then Zhang Junping announced another piece of good news, "Everyone has been working very hard these past two days. In the evening, there will be enough beer and red wine, so everyone can drink freely."
"Alas!"
"Long live!"
"marvelous!"
Once you hear it, you can eat and drink freely, and everyone instantly forgets the loss just now.
The male employees, including the security guards, were even more excited. There had been so many parties these days, but a few couples had been successfully arranged.
Some people successfully win over domestic female colleagues, while others bring glory to the country.
Zhang Junping said that as long as they are not messing around, he will not interfere with their love life.
Not messing around means not messing around with each other like men and women, men and women, men and women, and men and women.
In the evening, Zhang Junping didn't go to the employee party. He went to one because everyone couldn't let him go. The other was that the French girls were too strong. They were usually fine and kept their reservedness, but after drinking, they went there one by one.
He was flabbergasted.
Can't stand it.
Therefore, Zhang Junping simply hid on the third floor with Chen Lijun to discuss the company's development and management.
I will leave for Zurich tomorrow. I have to discuss it carefully tonight and study the problem thoroughly.
····
At Zurich International Airport, Zhang Junping completed the entry visa procedures and exited the airport lobby.
There was already a beautiful blonde waiting for him outside the airport.
This is his legal counsel, Cristina Paez.
Cristina Pez was very depressed. She was obviously Zhang Junping's legal adviser, but because Zhang Junping's previous business had always been in Paris, she had no choice but to transfer Zhang Junping's business to her colleagues in Paris.
For this reason, she made a lot of money less.
She knew that Zhang Junping had recently completed several large transactions, and the legal fees alone for these transactions were quite large.
…
When she thought of this, Christina Pez couldn't help but feel distressed.
No, when I heard that Zhang Junping was coming to Zurich, Christina Pez took the initiative to pick him up at the airport. She drove to pick up Zhang Junping by herself without an assistant.
Zhang Junping originally planned to ask someone from Jiamei Textile to pick him up at the airport.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm glad to meet you again!"
"Miss Christina, I haven't seen you for a while, you are beautiful again!" Zhang Junping smiled and gave Christina Pez a gentle kiss on the hand.
"Thank you!" Christina smiled elegantly at Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping secretly said: The charm of money is so great. I remember when we first met, her face looked like that of an old witch, and she was as cold as if she had just come out of the cold storage.
Covered in frost.
Now?
Christina is still very beautiful when she smiles, and her figure is also very good.
Christina sent Zhang Junping to the Hilton Hotel on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich.
Zhang Junping was not polite and directly opened a presidential suite.
If you are not short of money, you cannot lose yourself.
"Miss Christina, as I said last time, I asked you to help keep an eye on the store on Bahnhofstrasse. How is this going?" Zhang Junping entered the room without asking Christina for her opinion, and opened a bottle of Conti red wine.
When two glasses arrived, he handed one to Christina.
"Thank you!" Christina was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse.
Zhang Junping was secretly happy after seeing it, a good start.
"I found a few stores with good locations, all of which have been recently transferred." Christina is still very responsible for her work.
As he spoke, he took out a map and some photos from his briefcase, "This store is at this location on Bahnhofstrasse..."
Christina compared the photos and maps and introduced to Zhang Junping the locations and current operating conditions of several stores she had collected to be transferred.
“Considering that Mr. Zhang opened two stores in succession, I suggest this one!
This store is large enough, with three floors above ground and one underground floor. Each area is more than 1,200 square meters. It can be used as an art store on the first floor and a gallery on the second floor." Christina emphasized.
A store not far from the UBS.
There are also luxury stores next to this store.
"Okay, very good!" Zhang Junping sat down next to Christina and moved closer to look at the map.
His head almost hit Christina's.
But Christina didn't dodge.
Zhang Junping is now playing more and more and is completely letting go.
"Miss Christina is so capable. She found the right store so quickly. To express my gratitude, I would like to cut it into shreds." Zhang Junping smiled and raised his wine glass and clinked it with Christina.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhang! You are the boss, and it is my responsibility to provide you with better service."
"Haha! Christina, why don't you stop working in your law firm and come be my full-time assistant.
The salary is definitely more than what you get in a law firm, and the life is easier!" Zhang Junping suggested with a smile.
"Really?" Christina's eyes lit up.
…
"However, I don't know anything else except the legal terms. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the position of assistant." In an instant, Christina regained her senses.
This made Zhang Junping look at Christina even more highly.
It’s great for a woman to remain rational despite the temptation of a high salary.
"I heard that Miss Christina is proficient in civil laws in European and American countries?"
"Yes! I am a solicitor, so naturally I have to be proficient in the civil laws of various countries." Christina said confidently.
"Miss Christina, is it the knowledge that the assistant needs to master that is difficult, or is it the laws of each country that are difficult?
Although I am not a law student, I feel that boring legal provisions should be more difficult.
Christina is proficient in the civil laws of European and American countries, and she is already qualified for half of her assistant duties.
I believe that with Miss Christina's intelligence, she will be able to handle the remaining half soon." Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Christina, think about it, you have to face different faces every day, whether you like it or not.
You have to face it!
Because those different faces are your customers.
Be my assistant and I will be the only one you have to deal with.
Provide me with various consulting services and provide professional advice.
And if you work as my assistant, you can get a higher salary."
"My current income is about three million Swiss francs a year."
"Okay, work as my assistant, with a guaranteed salary of five million Swiss francs a year.
You can also enjoy various benefits, such as paid vacation, year-end bonus, etc.”
"Five million Swiss francs a year, plus year-end bonus? Paid vacation?" Christina's eyes became brighter and she turned to look at Zhang Junping.
The two of them were sitting very close to each other, almost touching each other. Christina turned her head and her lips directly touched Zhang Junping's cheek.
"Of course! I can also provide better benefits here..." Zhang Junping also turned his head and kissed him gently.
.........one hundred thousand words.
"My dear, what do you mean by better benefits?" Christina is a very realistic person. Even if she is lying in Zhang Junping's arms, she still has not forgotten the benefits Zhang Junping said.
"The benefits just now were not good enough?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Bah! This is not my welfare. It is obviously your welfare, okay?" Christina shyly gave Zhang Junping a slap.
"No, think about it, it was me who was tired just now, but it was you who enjoyed it!
How can this be my welfare? It is obviously your welfare!
Your excited shouts just now can be heard on the top of the building." Zhang Junping joked with a smile.
"My dear, you are so awesome! I thought this was just like that.
Only now do I realize that my twenty-eight years have been wasted because this is so comfortable."
I have to say that Christina's thoughts are different from those of women in China.
He generously admitted his enjoyment just now.
"I plan to buy a manor in Zurich. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"Why do you suddenly want to buy a manor? Are you planning to hide your beauty in a golden house, as you Chinese say?"
Christina still has some understanding of Chinese culture.
…
"Not bad! Do you also know that the beauty is hidden in the golden house?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Since I took over your business, I have devoted myself to learning about Chinese culture."
"I am more and more optimistic about you now, and you will definitely become an excellent assistant.
By the way, I have a manor in Paris."
"I know!"
"I need a butler, do you have any good suggestions?"
"My dear, I think I am qualified for the position of housekeeper.
My original ideal was to become an excellent steward, so I took the stewardship certificate exam.
However, most of those manor houses like to use butlers.
They just want me to be their lover.
So, I finally chose to become a lawyer." Christina sat up from the bed excitedly.
Seeing Zhang Junping, his mouth went dry for a while.
He has always emphasized the need to be meticulous in doing things and strive for excellence.
Check it a few times to make sure it's correct.
…
The next day, Christina went to the law firm to complete the resignation procedures.
Zhang Junping went to Jiamei Textile alone.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here!" Givens followed Zhang Junping nervously to the chairman's office.
The nervousness was not because he had done anything to feel sorry for Zhang Junping.
But he didn't know the purpose of Zhang Junping's sudden arrival.
It is a fear of facing ignorance.
"Givens, you did a good job!" After listening to Givens' report, Zhang Junping praised him with a smile.
"But it's not enough!
I have said before that we will expand the size of the company more than ten times.
The company’s expansion speed is too slow now!”
"Sir, we have invested in and built very large textile factories in three cities in China.
Every textile factory has a supporting printing and dyeing factory.
If we speed up any further, our capital chain will not be able to bear it..."
"Givens, you should break this into two parts.
The first part is the equipment of textile factories and printing and dyeing factories.
This piece is all imported from Switzerland and Germany. If you don't have enough funds, you can apply for a loan from the bank.
However, you can actually get loans for purchasing land and building factories. You can get loans from Chinese banks. I know China better than you do, and they will be very happy to lend us money.
Of course, if you don’t want to use the loan, that’s fine, as long as you are willing, I can increase the capital.” Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Sir, I agree to apply for a loan from the bank."
"That's right, I demand that within three years, ten large-scale textile factories and supporting printing and dyeing factories must be invested and built in China.
At the same time, we will build a cotton planting base in China's western Xinjiang, where there is sufficient sunshine and is very suitable for cotton growth."
"Sir, it will be difficult to build ten large textile factories in three years. I'm afraid there won't be so many workers."
"Haha...ha!" Zhang Junping couldn't help laughing when he heard Givens' reason.
"Givens, do you know how many textile workers there are in China?"
"How many?"
"I don't know the exact amount, but it should be no less than 10 million."
"Ten million? Sir, are you kidding me?" Givens was frightened by this number.
How many people are there in the whole of Switzerland?
Less than 10 million.
To be precise, it has a population of more than eight million.
There are actually more textile workers in China than the total population of Switzerland. How could Givens not be surprised?
"No, this is not a joke. You can ask Martin to investigate.
This is not classified as secret, you can find out by just looking for an official from the textile system."
"Okay! China is indeed a huge country and a huge market, just like Mr. said."
"Now that China has just carried out structural reforms, we must seize the opportunity and occupy the Chinese market.
Only by occupying the Chinese market can we have more say in the world in the future.
Givens, either don't do it, or do your best if you do it.
My goal is to defeat Xiaobook and become the world's largest supplier of high-end fabrics." Zhang Junping drew a pie for Givens.
This cake not only looks sweet and delicious, but also tastes absolutely filling.
"Okay sir, I will definitely work hard as you say." Givens quickly agreed.
He had already seen Zhang Junping's impatience before.
Although some words were left unsaid, the meaning was not yet clear.
In three years, he completed the task and stayed on to create brilliance together.
