In the conference room of the Huo Group Building, the managers of each department are reporting on the recent work of their respective departments. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"In the past three months, the turnover of coffee chain stores has continued to decline, down 10% from the same period last year, Manager Li, you can explain." Huo Yi'an has just received the financial statements of the finance department last month.

Manager Li, who was in charge of the marketing of the café's business, picked up a document in his hand and handed it to Huo Yi'an.

"Mr. Huo, this is the market research report for the last two months, please take a look. 6 months ago, a brand new coffee brand suddenly appeared in the market, and it was opened within 1 km of our coffee shop, of which we have 12 coffee shops in 8 of the surrounding appearance of this brand, their decoration style is very similar to our existing brand, but the product price positioning is 20% lower than ours, after this month's investigation and visits, we can be sure that they are premeditated whether it is in the location of the store or the promotion of the product, obviously for us, And try to suppress the market by low prices, to grab our existing customer base. ”

"It started 6 months ago, and you only gave me this report today, is your sensitivity to the market so low?" Huo Yi'an was a little angry.

"Mr. Huo, our brand positioning has always been relatively high-end, so when this brand appeared in the market, we didn't realize what impact a new brand would have on us at first, which was my negligence."

"Failure is often not that the opponent is too strong, but that we overestimate our own strength, which gives them a chance!"

Huo Yi'an saw that everyone was no longer talking, so he said again: "It's pointless to investigate anyone's mistakes now, what remedial measures are you going to do?" ”

"We have re-done a survey on the consumption level of the customer base in the business district, and found that there is still a large number of customers with low spending power, and we plan to launch several products with relatively low prices for these customers, and rely on our brand influence to attract these customers from competitors, I believe there is no problem." Manager Li said.

"Okay, then you can submit a complete plan to me before next week's meeting." After Huo Yi'an finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room and returned to the office.

Assistant Feng followed him into the office, looking through the Pad in his hand.

"Mr. Huo, I want to go to the hotel at half past two this afternoon to listen to the business analysis report of the last quarter; At 7 o'clock in the evening, I made an appointment with Mr. Chen of the advertising company for dinner; There is no itinerary scheduled for tomorrow day, you see if there is a private event arranged. ”

"Okay, I got it."

"In addition, Chairman Huo will have his birthday next week, how do you plan to arrange it this year? Because it is his 80th birthday, several shareholders, department managers and some old employees want to celebrate his birthday. ”

"In addition to inviting shareholders and a few major department managers, you can invite some more senior employees to eat at home this year, and you can contact the housekeeper to arrange a buffet meal."

"Okay, I've drawn up a list of invitations here, and I'll see if there's anything else you need to add when you have time." Assistant Feng is really professional, and he has already thought about the follow-up work before throwing out a question.

"Okay, I got it. Also, remember to ask them to prepare more pastries, all the expenses of the day will be paid from my personal account. Huo Yi'an said.

"Okay, I understand." Assistant Feng said.

In the Huo family villa, Ye Wenli watched a movie alone in the room, and when Huo Yi'an was on a business trip or had a party at night, she would hide in the room to read a book or watch a movie.

In a blink of an eye, it was already 11 o'clock, Ye Mu had already gone to bed, she turned off the computer and prepared to go to bed, remembering that Yi'an didn't know if she had gone home, and was about to take away her mobile phone to send him a message, but there was a message sound on her mobile phone.

It's Huo Yi'an's message.

"Wake up early tomorrow and take you somewhere."

"What? Wouldn't it be mountain climbing or bungee jumping or something like that? ”

"You'll find out tomorrow."

"It's mysterious every time, but there's a surprise every time."

"What's a surprise for you? Take away your first kiss? ”

Ye Wenli almost laughed out loud after reading it, and she was afraid of waking up Sister Hua, so she had to hold back her laughter and replied: "The oil cavity is slippery!" ”

As soon as he finished posting, he remembered what he was about to ask him, so he sent again: "Are you back?" ”

"Well, I just got to my room and was about to take a shower."

"Then go wash it, go to bed early, and see you tomorrow."

"I drank a little wine, my head was a little dizzy, but I was very awake, I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to see you."

Ye Wenli couldn't hold back a smile and continued to reply: "No, it's too late, my mother is asleep, see you tomorrow." ”

"Well, good night."

Putting down the mobile phone, Ye Wenli turned off the lamp in the room, the room went dark all of a sudden, lying on the bed and turning over and over, the sleepiness just now disappeared all at once, and couldn't help but pick up the mobile phone on the bedside, looking at the chat record with Huo Yi'an just now, her heart was full of happiness, recalling the bits and pieces of her acquaintance with Huo Yi'an, remembering the sentence he said to himself, "Thank you for coming to me", I felt that all this happiness came so quickly and illusory, so I typed a paragraph in the dialog box and sent it out.

"I'm glad I came to you."

The next morning, Ye Wenli woke up from her sleep, looked at the faint sunlight shining in from the window, got up and opened the window, and saw the hanging chair hanging quietly in the garden outside, a cold wind blowing, she couldn't help but shiver, and suddenly realized that this happiness really existed around her.

After breakfast, Ye Wenli was in the kitchen to help Ye's mother clean up the table. Huo Yi'an saw his grandfather sitting alone in the living room reading the newspaper, so he stepped forward and sat next to him.

"Grandpa, your 80th birthday next week, I know you don't like birthdays, but the shareholders and old employees in the company want to celebrate your birthday, so I'm going to hold a simple birthday party at home and invite them to have a meal at home, do you have any opinions?"

"Well, it's good to be simple, people don't like to be lively when they get old." Huo Gushan put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses and said.

Ye Wenli, who was in the kitchen, immediately ran to the living room as soon as she heard that Grandpa Huo was celebrating his birthday: "Grandpa Huo, you are going to celebrate your 80th birthday, congratulations, you are still so young, I always thought you were only in your 60s." ”

Huo Gushan laughed after hearing this: "Yi'an is 28 years old, if I am still in my 60s, won't I only get married and have children in my 10s?" ”

Several people couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, Ye Wenli was a little embarrassed, "Grandpa Huo, I will definitely prepare a gift for you then, but I don't have much money, don't dislike me." ”

Ye Mu smiled after listening to it: "Look at what you girl said, it's not big or small, how can Chairman Huo be as knowledgeable as you are a little girl?" ”

Huo Gushan also smiled and said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, I really hope you can send me a handmade card or something like that, I haven't received a card for a long time." ”

Huo Yi'an saw that everyone was so happy, and gave Ye Wenli a look and said that he was ready to go out. "Grandpa, we are busy with work today and will come back later, and we won't come back for dinner in the evening, Aunt Ye, you don't have to help us prepare dinner."

Saying that, the two of them quickly went out to leave, and as soon as Ye Mu saw the two of them go out, she stepped forward and said to Huo Gushan: "Chairman, have you noticed that these two people have been looking a little strange recently?" ”

Although Huo Gushan was dazzled, his heart was like a mirror, and he suddenly thought of it with Ye Mu: "When I saw it, not only did I look a little strange, but I always secretly hid in Tibet." With that, both of them laughed happily.
