Chapter 265: Swearing-in Ceremony for the Yangtze River Delta
"I want to hold your hand like this and never let go. Can love always be pure and without sadness?"
Jiang Yishu chose a very appropriate song from Chen Jianghe’s music playlist, "Simple Love".
Chen Jianghe held Jiang Yishu's hand tightly, hummed a few lines in a good mood, and then asked her: "Do you like this song too?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yishu nodded, her bright and charming almond eyes flickered with a soft light, and she said softly: "I want to be with you like this forever."
"So do I."
Chen Jianghe reached out and gently brushed away a strand of hair on her right cheek. After looking at her intently for a long time, he leaned over and kissed her.
“Crash.”
There was a sudden sound, and Jiang Yishu, who was being kissed by Chen Jianghe, accidentally opened the car storage cabinet.
The two of them looked down at the same time. There were boxes of small square bags of things inside, red, blue, green and white.
"What is this?" Jiang Yishu asked in a low voice with red cheeks.
"Candy." Chen Jianghe was a little embarrassed, but he still calmly picked up a bag and explained carefully: "The popping candy I often ate when I was a child."
Popping candy is a snack food that is quite entertaining. The small candy particles with carbon dioxide added to them vaporize when heated in the mouth, generating thrust, causing the candy particles to bounce in the mouth and make crackling sounds on the tip of the tongue.
"Oh." Jiang Yishu said, and quietly closed the storage cabinet.
“Buzz buzz buzz.”
Jiang Yishu's phone vibrated in her backpack. She took it out and took a look. "My aunt sent me a message asking me when I'll be back and if I'll be with you."
"You're calling me aunt more and more naturally." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
Jiang Yishu smiled lightly and said seriously: "My aunt treats me like a family member. I get along well with her."
"It's good this way, so I don't have to worry about someone bullying you."
Chen Jianghe said, thinking that it would be even better if Teacher Xu and the secretary could get along well with Yishu like his aunt does.
As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about during the day. When Chen Jianghe was sleeping at night, he had a very interesting dream.
In the dream, he, Teacher Xu , Yishu and the secretary went to play games with his aunt. However, the four of them were very poor at the game and lost more than ten games in a row. They made his aunt, who had superb skills, cry in tears and hide in the quilt.
But Chen Jianghe was a heartless person. He had never seen his aunt cry since he was a child. He saw her hiding in the quilt crying, and she would laugh non-stop with her hands on her hips...
If it weren't for the interference of his biological clock, Chen Jianghe really wanted to sleep a little longer and finish this rare beautiful dream.
When Chen Jianghe woke up, it was just daybreak outside and his roommates were sleeping soundly. The sounds of snoring could be heard one after another, and occasionally there were some muffled talking in their sleep.
"Fuck, there's no way to play anymore, another pair of mistresses that I can't afford..."
Liu Dongliang muttered to himself and kicked the quilt covering his body to the ground, exposing his black hairy legs. At first glance, he looked like a black hairy country pig, which was pretty damn sexy.
Sun Tian, the sixth child, is the one who snores the most in the dormitory. He usually snorts loudly, and then makes a "dududududu" sound like a machine gun firing dozens of bullets in one volley, making people worry that he will suffocate to death in his bed.
However, Chen Jianghe felt very at home in such a noisy accommodation environment.
People are so strange. When I first entered the dormitory, I felt uncomfortable with the noise, but then I gradually got used to it. Now I can't fall asleep without the snoring of these furry guys.
Today is Monday, and the course schedule is quite tight, and they are all professional courses, so Chen Jianghe woke up his roommates who were sleeping soundly one by one, urging them to attend classes actively. After fulfilling his duties as a good roommate and a good class monitor, he skipped class and went to the Light Chaser base for a meeting.
At nine o'clock in the morning, one and a half hours before the official meeting time, the entire Light Chaser base was already crowded. Management and sales personnel from the nine city legions in the Pearl River Delta gathered together. The number of people who were supposed to attend was 1,365, and the actual number of people who attended was 1,365, with no one absent.
"Since everyone is here, let's not waste time and start the meeting directly."
Chen Jianghe stood in front of all the employees holding a microphone. He greeted his colleagues first, shouted slogans to boost their spirits, and then went straight to the point: "I called all the brothers and sisters here today for two main things."
"The first thing is that the company is currently making every effort to expand the takeaway group purchase market in the Yangtze River Delta, and we need to select a group of brothers with strong business capabilities who can adapt to long-term business trips to lead the charge."
"The second thing is that there are still 100 days until the Chinese New Year. In order for everyone to have a good year, the company has formulated a year-end performance sprint | incentive plan in advance."
Chen Jianghe always sticks to the key points in meetings, without any nonsense. After talking about the two things, he turned around and glanced at the secretary standing not far behind him.
Lin Siqi immediately understood, walked forward to turn on the projector, and projected the Light Chaser's year-end incentive plan that had been prepared in advance.
"From now on, until the end of the year, if the total performance ranks among the top three in the company, you will be rewarded with a set of commercial housing in East Guangdong."
"The top 10 performers will be rewarded with a commercial apartment in Foshan."
"The 11th to 20th place in performance ranking will be rewarded with a commercial apartment in Qingyuan."
"If the sales volume is not in the top 20, but the total number of orders is greater than or equal to 500, the bonus is 50,000 yuan; if it is greater than or equal to 300, the bonus is 30,000 yuan; if it is greater than or equal to 200, the bonus is 10,000 yuan."
…
As soon as this plan came out, almost all the employees present widened their eyes without exception. Some employees who got up too early and seemed to be still sleepy rubbed their eyes and carefully looked at the eye-catching red words on the projection to confirm that the reward for the top three was indeed a set of commercial housing in East Guangdong.
“Have you read the incentive plan clearly?”
Chen Jianghe asked.
"See clearly!"
There were uniform responses from everyone, and the scene was like military training.
"Brothers who want to get a commercial house in eastern Guangdong, please raise your hands so I can see them." Chen Jianghe continued.
"Wow!" The employees raised their hands collectively, their eyes shining, like a pack of wolves staring at their prey.
Chen Jianghe looked around the room with satisfaction, then smiled and said to the person in charge of the Shenzhen Corps: "Comrade Ye Xiaorong, please stay calm and don't raise your hand randomly."
Ye Xiaorong said with a smile: "Boss Chen, I also want to compete for the top three in the company's performance. Commercial housing in East Guangdong has been my dream for many years."
As soon as Ye Xiaorong finished speaking, Wu Zhonghua, the head of the Foshan Corps, rolled up his sleeves and grinned, "Boss Chen, this incentive plan is so tempting. I want to give it a try, too."
Ye Xiaorong and Wu Zhonghua took the lead in expressing their opinions, and other managers had almost the same idea as them.
Chen Jianghe waved his hand and said, "The management has other arrangements. Let me keep it a secret and keep it a little mysterious."
After that, he once again faced all the business: "We have now occupied 50% of the takeaway group purchase market in the Pearl River Delta. We will continue to work hard in this area and fight a tough battle. It will be difficult to create the same brilliant results as before, so I hope that the brothers can actively and enthusiastically join the new battlefield and create a new world for themselves."
"Brothers who are willing to take the initiative to go to the Yangtze River Delta to explore the market, please take a step forward."
As soon as Chen Jianghe finished speaking, about one-third of the salesmen took a step forward without hesitation. The people in the back row saw the movement in the front row and also hesitated to step out, but were stopped by Mr. Chen.
When the company holds a general meeting, those who are willing to stand in the front row are basically activists and company elites. It is enough for them to stand up without hesitation at critical moments.
"Business expansion in the Yangtze River Delta not only affects whether the company can grow bigger and stronger, but also determines whether the company can survive in the fierce competition in the takeaway group buying industry. The development of Light Chaser to its current level is the result of the hard work of everyone present. The company's credit book is written with the blood and sweat of each of you. When the company goes public in the future, each of you will receive dividends as a hero and shareholder!"
Chen Jianghe's voice was not loud, but every word hit people's heart. At the end, he said with a determined look: "Light Chasers must fight their way out of the Yangtze River Delta market. This is a decisive battle!"
As soon as Chen Jianghe finished speaking, the leaders of the nine city legions responded loudly and enthusiastically: "Brothers, shout out our slogan!"
“Chasing the light, cutting through thorns and brambles, enduring wind and rain, the brave are fearless!”
Thousands of people shouted slogans in unison, it felt like a war, and the ceiling was buzzing.
In fact, workers do not lack the spirit of struggle. As long as they can make money and improve the lives of themselves and their families, and the effort and reward are proportional, most people are willing to work hard, make progress, and even work overtime.
However, in this society, there are always some Dogecoin bosses who like to use freeloading methods to exploit workers. They want the horse to run without eating grass, which makes the grassroots employees complain and engage in passive resistance.
Chen Jianghe is different. He himself started out as an employee and then moved on to become an entrepreneur and boss. So he firmly believes in one thing: only the company's real money investment can be exchanged for the employees' sincere feedback. Don't talk about any bullshit ideals. If you want employees to work more, you should increase their wages first. As long as the boss has the money, anything can be done. As long as the bonuses are paid quickly, there is no hard work, only love.
After finishing the business, Chen Jianghe spent a few minutes solemnly introducing CFO Gu Yuming who had just joined the company.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen for his kindness in introducing me so impressively that everyone has to look up at me. In fact, I am almost the same as you all. We are all soldiers of the Light Chaser. The difference is that you are veterans and I am a new recruit, so I still have a lot to learn from you in many aspects."
Gu Yuming took the microphone from Mr. Chen and spoke modestly and down-to-earth: "At the same time, as the company's CFO, I will use all the resources around me to go all out to assist Mr. Chen in completing the follow-up financing process of Light Chaser and help the company successfully go public!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the overall situation was immediately revealed, and there was continuous applause from the audience.
The main responsibilities of the Chief Financial Officer are to achieve the company's strategic goals and long-term development plans through resource allocation, control external capital, and be accountable to shareholders and the board of directors.
Gu Yuming didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he smiled and handed the microphone back to Chen Jianghe.
Chen Jianghe took the microphone and looked around. He found that everyone was eager to get results, so he announced: "The morning meeting is over. Dismissed."
"Xiao Rong, Lao Wu, the two of you stay for a while."
Chen Jianghe called out to the two corps leaders, Ye Xiaorong and Wu Zhonghua, and made other arrangements.
In the evening, a business car stopped at the entrance of Light Chaser. The driver got out and opened the door. Lin Siqi and his father Lin Zheping got out of the car, each holding a crystal trophy in their hands.
"Boss, I'm back!"
Lin Siqi ran into the president's office and placed the trophy on Chen Jianghe's desk like a treasure: "Congratulations, boss, for winning the title of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in East Guangdong selected by the East Guangdong Chamber of Commerce."
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows: "The Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is very generous. This trophy looks very expensive."
"Of course. Don't you see who the award is for?" Lin Siqi said with a smile.
Chen Jianghe stood up, looked down at her hand, and asked with concern: "Did you carry the trophy all the way back?"
"Yeah." Lin Siqi nodded and quietly hid his hand behind his back: "This is the honor of my boss. It seems more ceremonial when I hold it in my hand."
"Silly girl." Chen Jianghe came over, took out her hand from behind her back, and looked at it carefully on his palm: "There are marks all over it."
"It's okay." Lin Siqi smiled and shook his head: "It will be fine in a while."
Chen Jianghe wanted to rub her when he heard a cough outside. He looked up and saw his father-in-law Lin Zheping standing at the door, also holding a trophy in his hand.
"Boss, didn't you say the day before yesterday that you had something to discuss with Dad? I brought him here."
Lin Siqi smiled sweetly, withdrew her hand, turned around to take the trophy from her father's hand, placed it in a prominent place on the bookcase, then walked to the coffee table and made tea for the boss and her father.
"I haven't been here for a few months. Your Light Chaser company is getting more and more formal. It looks very good."
Lin Zheping looked around Chen Jianghe's office and nodded with a smile.
Chen Jianghe smiled and said, "It was all thanks to Siqi that I took good care of it."
"Boss, I can't help but feel proud when you praise me like this." Lin Siqi said with a smile.
"It's okay, I allow you to be proud." Chen Jianghe said.
If his father wasn't there, Lin Siqi would definitely lean over and give Chen Jianghe a kiss on the cheek when she heard this.
Now that her father was present, she looked at him with a smile.
"Dad also allows you to be proud." Lin Zheping understood his daughter's thoughts very well and expressed his opinion with a smile.
Lin Siqi nodded with satisfaction, and then placed two cups of tea in front of his father and the boss respectively: "Although I have the permission and affirmation of the two big bosses, I can't be arrogant and I have to continue to work hard to do better."
"Look, what a good secretary."
Lin Zheping couldn't help but envy Chen Jianghe, as he held this person as his treasure.
"Dad, have some tea."
Chen Jianghe's natural call of "Dad" stabilized Mr. Lin's resolve.
"You two can talk about business. I'm going to ask Mr. Gu a few questions."
Lin Siqi made the tea and turned around and left the office sensibly.
After his daughter left, Lin Zheping took a sip of tea, then let out a long breath, leaned back in the chair, and looked tired.
"I heard from Siqi that sales of your more than ten real estate projects in eastern Guangdong have been sluggish recently, and the sales rate is relatively low, right?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"Yeah." Lin Zheping nodded and said, "The global stock market is going down, the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is getting worse, and the real estate market will soon enter a severe winter."
"You are very talented in investment. Help me analyze what to do next." Lin Zheping looked at Chen Jianghe with a twinkling eye.
Chen Jianghe said bluntly: "In the current situation, a global financial crisis is inevitable. I suggest you get ahead of yourself and immediately reduce the price of the properties you have, so as to recover funds and suspend or postpone the development of the reserved land."
Lin Zheping thought for a moment and said, "Directly reducing prices for promotions will involve a wide range of people and may affect the overall situation. Is your judgment too pessimistic?"
Chen Jianghe shook his head and said firmly, "I have organized the company's strongest sales team to help you clear out the properties for sale before New Year's Day."
