Chapter 165: Showdown with Sun Haolin
The eight city legions were awarded flags and set out to fight. The Light Chasers' base, which was originally crowded with people, was suddenly mostly empty.
However, this is exactly what Chen Jianghe wants to see. If the salesmen under him only want to stay in a corner and are unwilling to go to surrounding cities to open up new markets, the existing business in eastern Guangdong will stagnate, and will be eroded by the influx of more competitors, and the market share will continue to shrink.
In the business world, it is like sailing against the current; if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind.
"Ajun, from now on, the market in eastern Guangdong will mainly rely on you to lead the team."
After the morning meeting, Chen Jianghe left Li Jun alone, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "I'm going to promote you to regional manager."
"Ah?" Li Jun was a little surprised and scratched his head. "I have just taken office as the manager of the Tianhe District Business Department for less than a month. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince people if I am promoted to the regional manager so soon."
"When you were in sales, you won the sales championship for several months in a row. After becoming a manager, you doubled the performance of Tianhe District. I promoted you to regional manager. Who would dare to disobey?"
Chen Jianghe said seriously, "You are more capable than me in terms of business."
"Third brother, you're praising me so much that I'm almost floating on the surface." Li Jun felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Jianghe looked down at him and said, "You've lost a lot of weight recently. Is it because you've been doing too much manual transmission since you broke up with Shen Yue? You need to improve your nutrition."
"If you didn't mention Shen Yue, I would have almost forgotten about her."
Li Jun shrugged and said, "I met a receptionist from Meizhou at Tongxiang Club recently. She is pretty and a very nice person, but..."
Li Jun got stuck in the middle of his speech and smiled in a rather coquettish manner.
"Is it because the demand in that area is too strong?" Chen Jianghe asked meaningfully.
"How do you know?" Li Jun asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You can tell by the way you smile so lasciviously."
Chen Jianghe smiled. In fact, a business unit manager like Li Jun who goes to restaurants and bars every day to discuss business has many opportunities to meet girls.
Nowadays, the receptionists, waiters, and managers of some high-end restaurants are the "face" of the store. Many of them are good-looking. Moreover, many of these girls are inexperienced in the world, have a small social circle, and have relatively simple personalities. They are easy to get along with and don't think too much, making them suitable for dating.
Although Li Jun is a novice in love, he is not stupid at all, and is even very smart. As long as he changes girlfriends quickly, there is no sadness but only love.
"Pay attention to moderation. Also, take time out to run for an hour every morning and do 100 exercises. The effect is good," Chen Jianghe reminded.
This is something he speaks from experience. After a crazy night, he had to hold on to the wall when walking. After intensifying his exercise, he is not only full of motivation, but his endurance and duration have also increased, and his happiness has doubled.
"Okay, let's try another day."
Li Jun smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, he led the team to do business.
"Boss, Mr. Sun is here."
As soon as Li Jun left, his secretary came in to report.
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at Lin Siqi, who was wearing a white shirt and a blue skirt today.
The little secretary has a very good sense of clothes and her dressing style is varied, but she can always show her unique beauty just right. She can be sweet, salty, cute, and domineering. She is a real versatile little honey and a treasure girl.
Under normal circumstances, Chen Jianghe would definitely stay with her for a while, but now the general manager of the branch was waiting outside, so he just smiled and looked at her before going out to meet his leader.
"Brother Sun."
Chen Jianghe went out and met the branch general manager Sun Haolin, with a smile on his face and greeted him indifferently.
Before, Sun Haolin had turned a blind eye to Chen Jianghe's development. Since the establishment of the Chaser's takeaway group buying base, he has never been here once. When he came here today, he was a little shocked.
"Take over the Pearl River Delta and carve out a new kingdom for ourselves."
Sun Haolin stared at the banner on the wall for a long time, then suddenly turned to look at Chen Jianghe who was walking towards him and asked, "Do you want to rebel?"
"ha?"
Chen Jianghe blinked and said innocently, "Brother Sun, I don't understand what you mean."
"You've done it, but you still don't dare to admit it?"
Sun Haolin stared at Chen Jianghe and said, "The company has already established a presence in Foshan and Guancheng, but you didn't even say hello, secretly formed a team, and led the team to charge in recklessly. You are very brave, Chen Jianghe."
“I’m doing this for the good of the company.”
Chen Jianghe smiled and said seriously, "The company's business in the capital, Shanghai and other places has been hindered. If the business in the Pearl River Delta region is not accelerated, without a stable rear base to support performance, it won't be long before we all have to pack up and leave."
Sun Haolin naturally wouldn't listen to his nonsense and asked directly: "You made such a big move, is it because Nuomi Group Buying promised you huge profits, or is it because BD Group is backing you up?"
"Brother Sun, do you think I am the same kind of person as Li Tianhai and Huang Shixian?" Chen Jianghe did not give a direct answer, but asked a question in return.
"Neither of them is worthy of carrying your shoes."
Sun Haolin recognized Chen Jianghe's ability, but this guy was too ambitious and difficult to control. He would make sudden moves from time to time, which made him feel uneasy: "The company has raised 500 million yuan to achieve the current situation. How long have you been in the industry? How much money do you have? What's the point of jumping out in a hurry?"
"Brother Sun, you misunderstood."
Chen Jianghe walked up to Sun Haolin, took out a cigarette, handed it to Sun, lit it for him, and then lit one for himself: "You are in a higher position than me, you should know why the company's third round of financing was blocked."
Sun Haolin narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Jianghe with burning eyes: "Did Penguin Group contact you privately?"
"Yeah." Chen Jianghe nodded lightly without saying anything else, leaving Sun Haolin to think and guess on his own.
Sun Haolin took a deep puff of his cigarette and said to Chen Jianghe, "Your City Corps thing should have been instructed by Penguin Group, right? Otherwise, the company's top management wouldn't have received the news in the first place."
“There’s no need to talk about this openly. In a nutshell, if the performance is good, it’ll be good for you, me and everyone else. If it fails, the worst that can happen is that you can quit 9527 and start over again.” Chen Jianghe said calmly.
“It’s not that simple.”
Sun Haolin shook his head, took out an agreement from his briefcase and handed it to him: "Take a look at this."
"A betting agreement?"
Chen Jianghe took the agreement and read it carefully. This was a bet agreement signed between the three major investors and 9527 Company. If the profit of 9527 Company in 2007 failed to reach 132 million, strategic investors such as Penguin Group would have the right to require the major shareholder to redeem their shares at a premium of 20%.
"Do you understand?" Sun Haolin asked.
"Just barely." Chen Jianghe nodded and said, "The company is too optimistic about its own profit level. Now is the time to spend money to grab the market. There is no room for profit."
"So at the high-level meeting two days ago, President Deng decided to make drastic measures and decisively shrink the business scope. He first defended the two rear bases of Shenzhen and eastern Guangdong, and made every effort to ensure this year's profitability before planning for subsequent development. But you, on the other hand, did the opposite before the official notice came down, and went against the company's development strategy." Sun Haolin said.
"Haha." Chen Jianghe suddenly laughed. He understood why the 9527 company in the future would fail miserably, because a wrong decision would lead to eternal damnation. "Brother Sun, we have reduced our business. Do you think Nuomi Group Buying will also reduce its business? Our competitors are still burning money, but we want to make a profit?"
Sun Haolin narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jianghe in front of him. This kid thought about problems in a very mature way, with a sharp perspective and a great business sense. He didn't look like a college student in his twenties at all.
Chen Jianghe looked at Sun Haolin and simply said to him in person, just like he did with Huang Shixian in the company's conference room last time: "The company doesn't want to expand, so I will do it. My team will handle the markets that other branches can't handle. I have the strategic investment department of Penguin Group behind me. If the company fires me, I will bring my team to Penguin without hesitation."
