Chapter 247: I Thought It Was Fate

Providing wedding services is not as simple as providing a venue, or providing creativity, which involves many links, and Li Yang's wedding planning is a complete set of service system, in addition to the planning of the wedding, including the venue set, the customization and preparation of all the items and props required for the wedding, the customization of wedding dresses and so on.

And the customization of some of the things involved in this, such as wedding dresses, or wedding dessert tables, cakes, special props required for some sets in the wedding, etc., all need to cooperate with third-party companies.

After all, if it is not practical to raise a person in this area, at least not at present, if it is really needed in the future, his first choice is to directly acquire or invest in some related companies, rather than re-establish it himself.

And the choice of a third-party cooperative company is the top priority, Li Yang originally wanted to leave all these things to Jiang Weiyi.

But Hou Zhengyu didn't suggest that he give Jiang Weiyi too much power, although trust is very important, but sometimes the heart of defense is indispensable, and excessive indulgence is sometimes likely to harm himself and Jiang Weiyi.

The selection of third-party partners, i.e., suppliers, must be carried out in accordance with the rules and regulations.

And since the company attaches great importance to weddings, Li Yang should also learn more and have an in-depth understanding of some things in this industry, which will also help make decisions and judgments for future development.

At present, it is the best time for Li Yang to follow Jiang Weiyi to learn and understand.

Li Yang felt that what Hou Zhengyu said was very right, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself, as the so-called it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to govern the world, and now the company's business is more and more, and the personnel relationship is becoming more and more complex, just like a sophisticated and complex machine, it is no longer a simple structure when it was first established, and any small hidden danger may be infinitely amplified because of the chain reaction.

And in terms of talents, it is often capable people who must have ambitions, most of these people are taking wages from you, accumulating resources and capital for themselves, and one day in the future, when their wings are hard, they will work alone and become one of your competitors.

And those who are not ambitious are often not strong enough, so this is a difficult point to balance, so the enterprise can not give a certain person too much authority, and enterprise management often needs to use checks and balances.

Li Yang naturally has a lot of things to learn, but everything has a process, and the same is true for managing a company, no one is born with everything.

Jiang Weiyi has worked in the wedding industry for many years and has very good network resources, including supplier resources, which is also one of the reasons why Li Yang poached her with a lot of money, so to find a suitable supplier, Li Yang must rely on Jiang Weiyi's recommendation and listen to her suggestions.

But the final decision must be made in accordance with the normal process, and she cannot be allowed to do it alone, even if she cannot completely control the interests in it, but at least it has a certain psychological containment effect.

Otherwise, the dark side of the human heart will expand unconsciously as the power they have increases, and in the end it will not be good for both parties.

So in the next few days, in the name of learning and understanding, Li Yang asked Jiang Weiyi to take him to understand and contact various suppliers, and also get to know some people in the circle by the way, and accumulate some network resources for himself.

On this day, Li Yang, Jiang Weiyi, and the employees who will be responsible for contacting suppliers in the future, came to Hong Kong Island together to visit and inspect the suppliers of wedding dress customization.

The first one they went to was a well-known international wedding dress custom brand Shengfanya, whose founder Li Yazhi is also a famous wedding dress designer in the circle, who has won numerous international awards, and the company has also designed wedding dresses for many Hong Kong stars and wealthy people.

At present, the brand has been established for 22 years, and has branches in Huaxia, United States, Singapore, Bali and other places, mainly positioning the bridal wedding dress, high-end evening dress, small dress, cocktail dress, parent-child wear of high-end customization.

Li Yang and Jiang Weiyi first visited the store of Shengfanya before going to the company's headquarters, which is not only the operation center but also the office of the core design team.

The decoration style of the whole company is quite artistic, and there are many beautiful wedding works in the window of the company's hall, as well as countless design competition trophies, the founder introduction, and many celebrity wedding photos.

"This is our design department! Our core design team is all here, and all designers are graduates of well-known fashion design colleges at home and abroad!"

Li Yang's eyes swept and seemed to see a familiar face, as if he was also staring at him.

Li Yang looked at it fixedly, and it was indeed a familiar face, and the other party's gaze was also a little surprised and surprised.

"It's her!" Li Yang remembered who it was, the girl who had been to the Youcat Inn, used herself to pretend to be her boyfriend, and gave herself a Western Ammonium specialty, but for a while he couldn't remember her name, Ma ......

"Boss Li?" Ma Xinyan obviously didn't believe that she would meet Li Yang here, and she didn't even dare to admit it at first, but when she saw Li Yang's eyes, she was sure that it should be him.

"Yes, what a coincidence, do you work here?" Li Yang said with a smile.

"No!" Ma Xinyan walked over quickly, her smile was still so generous, "My senior sister works here, I'm here to ask her for help!"

Li Yang nodded, Ma Xinyan paused, and asked with a smile, "You...... Are you going to get married?"

"Oh, no, my company is doing wedding customization services, so come and talk about cooperation!" Li Yang said with a smile.

A faint hint of joy flashed in Ma Xinyan's eyes, and she smiled: "When do you have time, let's have a cup of coffee together?"

"Hmm...... Tomorrow morning, we'll make an appointment on WeChat for the specific time!" Li Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, the one that gave you my business card, you can call me too!" Ma Xinyan said with a smile.

Li Yang glanced at the business card, and then remembered that her name was Ma Xinyan, and Li Yang also took out his business card and handed it to Ma Xinyan.

Ma Xinyan looked at the job introduction on Li Yang's business card: General Manager of Dream Catching Group, she had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything, smiled and said, "You are busy first, bye!"

Ma Xinyan ran to her senior sister again, and her senior sister glanced at Li Yang with some gossip, and then said something to Ma Xinyan.

After Li Yang visited Shengfanya, he also met the founder of the company and the current chief designer Li Yazhi.

She is a middle-aged woman with a very good temperament and beauty, although she is in her fifties, she is very well maintained, her figure is still slender and graceful, and just from her face, she is less than forty.

About the cooperation, the two sides chatted very happily, but Shengfanya, a big brand, has its strict cooperation standard system, as well as hierarchical authority, simply put, everything is implemented in accordance with the standard, and will not go against the standard in order to strive for cooperation opportunities, express sincerity, and everything is also based on actual benefits.

This Li Yang can also understand, after all, there are many partners in this kind of company, and if it does not form a standard, it is difficult to maintain a good reputation, and Jiang Weiyi had explained to Li Yang before coming.

But for the cooperation with Li Yang's company, Li Yazhi showed a very strong desire, agreed with and was optimistic about the prospects of Li Yang's company, and took the initiative to invite Li Yang to have lunch together.

Li Yang didn't pretend to be polite, and happily agreed.

He also brought gifts to Li Yazhi before he came, and planned to invite Li Yazhi to dinner, hoping to make friends with this industry insider.

Now that people take the initiative, they naturally have to accept it.

At noon, Li Yang, Jiang Weiyi and Li Yazhi had lunch together, and they also talked a lot about wedding planning, customized services, overseas weddings, travel and vacations, etc.

Li Yazhi is a well-informed, even very knowledgeable, wise, and thoughtful woman, which has something to do with her background, knowledge, experience, and even her network.

She knows a lot, and in addition to her own field, she also has a very unique insight into the tourism industry.

But she is erudite but not ostentatious, willing to share and listen.

Chatting with her, Li Yang felt that he benefited a lot, and even Li Yang felt that he liked to listen to Li Yazhi very much, and that kind of language charm and wisdom exuded a unique charm.

Compared with it, Li Yang really feels that he is still a local tyrant, and he understands that things are less than one-tenth of others, of course, there is a precipitation of age, but more is the gap brought by his background, educational background, living environment, etc., and there are still many things to learn.

After the pleasant lunch, Li Yang said goodbye to Li Yazhi and invited her to visit the city capital sometime.

In the afternoon, Li Yang and Jiang Weiyi went to meet with the heads of several other wedding dress custom brands, and the cooperation quotations of these brands are stronger than that of Shengfanya, of course, their brand awareness is definitely not as good as that of Shengfanya.

The wedding packages designed by Li Yang's company also have different prices and standards, which can meet the consumption level from the middle class to the rich, so in the choice of wedding dress customization, Li Yang will also give users multiple choices, at least the more well-known brands in the industry He has to talk about again.

......

After Ma Xinyan went home with her senior sister at night, she suddenly remembered Li Yang and couldn't help but take out her business card from her bag.

"The general manager of the Dream Catching Group? Didn't he open his own inn and B&B hotel, why did he suddenly come to this Dream Catching Group as the general manager, and this group also does customized wedding services?" Ma Xinyan was a little confused, so she took out her mobile phone and checked the Dream Catching Group on the Internet.

Only after this investigation did I know that the Dream Catcher Group was established by Li Yang not long ago, and after carefully looking at the group's official website and detailed introduction, Ma Xinyan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This year ago, Li Yang was just the owner of a small inn, although she later saw Li Yang in the circle of friends sent the news of this Youshan B&B Resort Hotel, but since then, she has been busy, almost does not look at the circle of friends, and she has not seen any news about Li Yang.

But I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Li Yang would become the CEO of the group, with so many businesses and branches, and even acquired luxury resorts in Bali.

She is still very clear about the predecessor of the Love Nest Resort Hotel, Aisener, when she studied abroad before, she had heard of that resort, and knew that it was a very luxurious resort, but she did not expect to be bought by Li Yang, and the hotel also provides wedding venues, as well as wedding planning and customization services.

"No wonder he came to Shengfanya to talk about cooperation, I see!" Ma Xinyan muttered to herself.

"It's amazing, in more than a year, it has developed from an inn to a group company!" Ma Xinyan was amazed in her heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

Successful men are always more attractive, and meeting again also gives her a kind of careful thinking called fate.

But she suddenly thought of something, and immediately clicked on Li Yang's circle of friends, but it was a pity that his circle of friends only showed the news of the last three days, so she couldn't see anything.

"Alas-don't think about it, such an excellent handsome guy is probably already famous!" Ma Xinyan thought so, but she still had a trace of luck and fantasy in her heart, after all, people are always willing to accept the answers they want.

......

The next morning, Ma Xinyan took the initiative to send a WeChat message to Li Yang, asking him when he had time.

Li Yang happened to have nothing to do in the morning, because they had a famous makeup artist who had appointment, and they only had time in the afternoon.

Make-up artists are also a highlight of wedding customization, although there are many well-known ones in the mainland, but according to Jiang Weiyi's words, foreign monks will chant scriptures.

Many wealthy people in the mainland still prefer some special titles, preferably the kind of makeup artists who have won various awards in the world, and the kind that can be shown off, so the wedding makeup artist should also have some good partners.

Li Yang came to the café that Ma Xinyan had set, there were not many people in it, and Li Yang saw Ma Xinyan at a glance.

Ma Xinyan smiled and beckoned, and after Li Yang sat down, she said with a smile: "I didn't delay your work, right?"

"No, there was nothing wrong in the morning!" Li Yang asked with a smile, and immediately beckoned to the waiter.

"Ladies first!" Li Yang handed the menu to Ma Xinyan.

Ma Xinyan casually ordered a cup of cappuccino, and Li Yang also ordered a cup of the same.

"How are you involved in the wedding industry now?" asked Ma Xinyan knowingly.

"Well, the company has acquired a resort hotel in Bali, and wants to do the domestic and overseas wedding market, which is also a new attempt, what about you, what are you doing now? I remember you used to be a designer in a fast fashion brand, right?"

"How do you know?" Ma Xinyan was a little surprised.

"Circle of friends!"

"Oh, it turns out that you've been secretly paying attention to me!Haha, I've changed jobs, but I'm still doing costume design!" Ma Xinyan felt a little happy in her heart.

"Oh, I thought you were also in the wedding dress customization industry!" Li Yang said with a smile.

"Actually, the first award I won in college was wedding dress design, but life made me have to choose an easier to make money industry, but recently I am planning to participate in a wedding dress design competition, and it may also develop in the direction I like in the future!" Ma Xinyan said.

"Very good, interest is the best driving force for progress! If you are engaged in wedding dress design, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!" Li Yang said with a smile.

"Excuse me, sir, this is your coffee!" the waiter brought coffee to Li Yang and Ma Xinyan.

Ma Xinyan took a sip of coffee and suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"

"Well, there you have it!" Li Yang said with a smile, "What about you?"

Ma Xinyan spread her hands, and then said with some loss: "I haven't met the right one yet, alas-it's a pity, I saw you yesterday, and I thought there was really fate in this world!"

Li Yang laughed, this Ma Xinyan is still like that, she never hides what she says.

But he was quite surprised, he didn't expect Ma Xinyan to have the idea of falling in love with him, but thinking about it, if it wasn't interesting to him, how could he take the initiative to ask him to drink coffee.
