Chapter 44: Giving Returns
Read the full text
It was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night when I returned to my residence from Chen Yi, Qiao Ye had not rested, sitting in front of the computer with a headset, as if looking for some information, I yawned while standing behind him and watching
Qiao Ye suddenly noticed my existence, took off his headphones in fright, and almost jumped up and said to me: "What kind of horror are you playing with me in this big night?"
I replied calmly, and then leaned over to look at the computer screen, I was surprised that this person could sit in front of the computer and do things so seriously, so I especially wanted to know what he was looking for.
My curiosity made Qiao Ye even more excited, he handed me a cigarette and said: "Jiang Qiao, now there is an idea that can especially stimulate my entrepreneurship, I will tell you, you can see if it is feasible." β
I lit a cigarette, moved a chair and sat down beside him, Qiao Ye gestured with his hand, and said to me: "First of all, I want to lock the target consumer group in the student market, and the core appeal of the project is love, I just checked the information, the consumer market of the student group is still very large, but their consumption characteristics are obvious." Take tourism as an example: in fact, students have the strongest ** about travel, because they have more spare time than office workers, and their energy is obviously more vigorous than that of retired middle-aged and elderly people"
I nodded and replied, "I agree with your analysis, you continue." β
"But because they don't have the financial ability themselves, so consumption is suppressed, and this is my entry point, I am going to do some cheap hotels related to students, because they are cheap, coupled with strong targeting, I think it is easy to get the recognition of the target consumer market, and my core appeal to consumers is: at the best age, and the person you love the most, spend the least money to travel around the world, youth should not be wasted, and love should not be tied to the campus"
"Qiao Ye, have you been involved with love recently?"
"I'm not involved in love, I think love can really be developed as an industry, for example, the wedding industry you are doing now is an end of the industrial chain of love, my current idea is to make it more systematic and complete, anyway, I think this idea is no problem at all."
"You really fell into the hole of love and couldn't climb up"
Qiao Ye was poured cold water on me for a while, his expression became ugly, and he said: "I'm not asking you to evaluate my views on love now, but I want you to talk about whether my idea is reliable and enforceable." β
"I'm more concerned about where you got the money to realize this idea, aren't you all out of the house?"
"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Damn, you're the size of a skinny camel, you borrowed money from me yesterday, you give it back to me," I said, reaching for his wallet on the table.
Qiao Ye's soul was frightened, and he hurriedly clenched his wallet in his hand and said to me: "Don't make trouble, what I lack now is life money, and it's really not money to start a business." β
"You don't even have the money to live, where did you get the money to start a business, are you joking with me?"
Qiao Ye looked at me meaningfully, and said for a while: "When Qin Miao and I divorce and divide the property of the husband and wife, won't there be money for starting a business?"
I wanted to die a little, and after looking at him speechlessly for a long time, I replied: "Just for your unobtrusive virtue, if you want to be able to do something in a serious way, I Jiangqiao will write the name upside down."
I said and left Qiao Ye's room, I really didn't have the energy to listen to his wild ideas there, but I heard him scold behind me: "Jiang Qiao, your grandson lacks love, so he poured cold water on his brother." Let me tell you, I'm really not convinced, if I can't put this idea into reality, I'm Qiao Ye your grandson."
After entering my room, I closed the door, and then lay on the bed, not thinking about Qiao Ye's entrepreneurial ideas that were completely cranky, just worried about whether Xiao Ai, who lived with Chen Yi, would say something to her that she shouldn't say.
Driven by this emotion, I finally picked up my phone, found Xiao Ai who had just added a friend in WeChat, and then sent her a message asking, "Did you sleep?"
I wished she didn't reply to my message, because it could prove that she was resting, but she replied to my message after a few seconds: "I didn't sleep, I'm chatting with Chen Yi." β
I was a little anxious: "How did you promise me the credibility of being a man before?"
Xiao Ai replied with an angry expression: "I'm not a machine, I can still be silent when she talks to me."
"Okay, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Ai suddenly didn't reply, I sent her another message to ask, but I still didn't get a reply, and instead wanted to send one to Chen Yi to explore the truth, but in the end I chose to give up, because it would seem that I was too weak-minded, so I could only take a chance to assume that Xiao Ai and Chen Yi can talk about too many common topics, such as makeup, shopping, such as the entertainment industry, there is no need to talk about me as an irrelevant person
The three days of the holiday were quickly spent in great peace, and since I didn't let myself be too indulgent, I was able to finish the work that had been backlogged on the first day of work efficiently.
Because Lao Jin was still in the 100-day period of illness, all the company's affairs were temporarily taken care of by Luo Sumei, and she called me to her office before leaving work.
The first thing we talked about was the wedding of Mr. Xiao of Jinding Real Estate, I talked to her about my planning ideas, Luo Sumei listened while nodding, and did not interrupt me in the middle, and after I finished speaking, she said to me: "Jiangqiao, your current thinking is not a big problem in the general direction, but you still have to communicate with Mr. Xiao himself to determine this idea." I try to ask Mr. Xiao to come out for an interview once this week, Mr. Xiao's time is very tight, so you have to seize this opportunity, ask everything you want to ask in place, and what should be told to Mr. Xiao is also clearly and accurately conveyed to him, and we must resolutely put an end to misunderstandings, because Mr. Xiao does not have time to communicate with us at any time, and then let us make a second adjustment. β
I nodded, and then asked suspiciously: "Didn't Mr. Xiao's fiancΓ©e say that she can be the master of the wedding, why do you still have to ask Mr. Xiao for an interview?"
Luo Sumei smiled and replied: "She is also the prestige of the female master, such as inviting guests, can Mr. Xiao let her be the master, even if she is in charge, how much can she know about Mr. Xiao's network, so Mr. Xiao still has to personally inquire about the wedding." β
"Yes."
Luo Sumei nodded, and then told me with a serious face: "Jiangqiao, this wedding must not go wrong, the company now has 80% of its working capital in this wedding, if it is done well, it can relieve our financial pressure for the whole year, and if we don't do well, we will really lose money."
"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely do this wedding with 100% spirit."
"Hmm." Luo Sumei answered, her face was very tired, and she was silent for a while before she said to me: "Recently, Lao Jin and I have been talking about the company, and now we are older, and our energy is getting more and more unable to keep up, so Lao Jin said to hand over the company to Jin Qiu to take care of, I still recognize that I and Lao Jin still have some savings in our hands, and when Jin Qiu comes back from abroad, we will hand over this savings to her, so that she can let go of her hands and feet to develop the company, and Lao Jin and I have high hopes for her and this company."
"Well, I'm also very confident in Jin Qiu, she's much stronger than the average girl"
Luo Sumei smiled and said: "We are also very confident in her, but she has not enough experience and understanding of this industry, so we especially hope that you can help her more in this regard, in addition, Lao Jin also told me: he is going to do Mr. Xiao's wedding, he will release time for you to improve your cultural level, and then we will find a relationship to help you apply for a certified planner recognized in the industry, and then our company's planning department and engineering department will be handed over to you to manage." I believe that with your experience, coupled with Jin Qiu's vision and knowledge, the company's development will definitely get better and better. β
I couldn't believe my ears, so I confirmed and asked Luo Sumei again: "The planning department and the engineering department are in charge of me."
Luo Sumei nodded to me very affirmatively: "Well, over the years, the work of the planning department and the engineering department is not all done by you, people say that the iron battalion is a flowing soldier, but you have been diligent in the company for the past six years, and Lao Jin and I have seen it in our eyes and kept it in mind, let's put aside the age, your qualifications are the oldest in the company, so you are definitely qualified to manage the two departments of the planning department and the engineering department." β
I held back the excitement in my heart, and immediately expressed my attitude to Luo Sumei, and my mind had already flown to Chen Yi's side, I can't wait to tell her the good news now, so that she can also be happy for me, I have worked hard for 6 years, and finally see the return at this moment.
However, I haven't let the joy get carried away, I know that there is a premise for this return, I must first do a good job of Mr. Xiao's wedding, and then relieve the company's financial pressure; In addition, I have to wait for Jin Qiu, who has returned from studying abroad, I am looking forward to being able to reinvent the company after she takes charge of the company To be honest, I am really not optimistic about the company's current operating model, but neither Lao Jin nor Luo Sumei has the ability to change, so I, like Luo Sumei, have high hopes for Jin Qiu, a natural strong woman.
Leaving Luo Sumei's office, I immediately sent a text message to Chen Yi: "Are you free tonight, I'll invite you to dinner, and then I'll tell you a good news."
