It has been discontinued, and the factory is deserted.

Gu Xi followed behind Director Pan, followed by Qian Xiaole.

Director Pan said, "After we talked that day, I kept thinking when I went back that the market was almost occupied by us, and at that time, everyone drank our things, so no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't go back." I'm really not reconciled. ”

Gu Xi said lightly, "In the past, as long as the things were good, they didn't worry about selling. But now, in addition to products, more important is channels and terminals. I looked at your production line and there was no problem at all. ”

Director Pan said, "Then you mean that outside, on our sales channels?" ”

"It's not." Gu Xi took a plastic bottle, the round bottle, which is the most common beverage packaging style, she said, "I mean, in addition to the quality, the product also has packaging." Your quality is passable, but the packaging does not reflect the advantages. ”

Director Pan looked at the bottle and suddenly remembered the ambition that the former director of the head office had said, and he was full of excitement about success.

I don't know when it started, from the losses again and again, the sense of happiness was gone, and it turned into exhaustion.

He turned and walked forward, "You can go to our sales department." ”

Gu Xi saw the loneliness on his face, and she understood the feeling of slowly falling from the clouds to the bottom, and it may be surprising that she succeeded all of a sudden, and then fell down again. But slowly falling from a high place, this long time is enough to experience and digest by yourself.

But she still doesn't understand that this factory is quite large, and the production line of beverage products is not very expensive, even if they clear the money for the production line, settle the arrears of wages to employees, and the arrears outside. Nor should it be liquidated.

And now it is going to be liquidated, because it owes too many debts to the outside world.

This is definitely a joke, Gu Xi thinks that just the land sold to her is 100 million. In her opinion, it is impossible for such a factory to owe that amount.

Unless there is embezzlement or other problems. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a company to owe so many accounts.

Gu Xi was thinking about the possible black. curtain, the sleeves of her clothes were pulled, she followed the direction and looked at Qian Xiaole.

Interrupted by her train of thought, she frowned, "What for?" ”

Qian Xiaole withdrew his hand and whispered, "This has nothing to do with you, your land has already been built." What do you care about them? ”

Gu Xi said, "It has nothing to do with you, what are you doing here?" ”

Qian Xiaole was said to be speechless, he chased her and insisted on coming.

But she said that if she has a boyfriend, he can't chase too hard. Just said, "I'll come and see, you're quite capable, I'll study." ”

Gu Xi ignored him, took two steps faster, and kept up with Director Pan. Gu Xi felt that he could help others, even if it was in the end, and give his own opinion. Maybe not, but she hopes they will be more successful in the future.

They came to the sales department, and there were a lot of computers.

Gu Xi was a little surprised, "This is the sales department?" ”

Director Pan said, "I told you, we really keep pace with the times, and e-commerce will definitely be popular in the future." Actually, I didn't tell you the details that day, we have an R&D department. Or ready to engage in new products, in the future there will be more products of the same type, we can also make O2O, you have been in the United States, you must also know O2O, that is the concept of the United States, online and offline, e-commerce. ”

"O2O" Gu Xi was in a complicated mood, "You still want to build a physical store?" ”

"Of course. When it is bigger, it is decent to have a brand physical store. ”

The idea...... It's really hard to think. Gu Xi stood at the door and didn't know what to say, "A drinker, you still want to run a physical store?" ”

"Of course, it's not just about selling drinks." Director Pan said, "In our online mall, we also sell other people's things. ”

Gu Xi understood now.

She said, "You guys are ...... Of course, e-commerce will be very popular in the future. However, your company, logistics, warehousing, e-commerce and your own industry are actually two industries......"

She didn't say anything, and now she knew why they were going out of business.

I also want to open a physical store, which is more troublesome to open a physical store, site selection, brand selection, and even decoration promotion......

It's so good and wonderful. Such a toss, bankruptcy is inevitable, and it is a miracle not to go bankrupt.

Director Pan said with emotion, "The real industry will shrink in the future, and we are also planning for a rainy day." E-commerce is an emerging industry. ”

Gu Xi said, "Then why didn't you succeed in the transformation?" She was a little overjoyed by her "euphemistic" wording.

Director Pan looked at her meaningfully, "If we can have more adequate financial support and persist in it, we will definitely succeed." ”

Qian Xiaole "rubbed-" and looked at Director Pan.

Gu Xi laughed, it turned out that Director Pan invited her to come because he wanted her to take over this mess.

Gu Xi shook his head with a smile, "I'm not polite to you, I don't want to do anything in this industry." In the past two years, it has been a effortless transaction every day, and she doesn't want to work as hard as before.

Qian Xiaole said, "E-commerce is good, Zhao Xuan and they still want to do it, but what people are going to do is powerful in the background." His family has a listed company, and he doesn't dare to try it lightly. ”

Director Pan said, "Integrated e-commerce will become a major trend in the future, and everyone will get used to online shopping." Our company's products have their own stable market share, and success is only a matter of timing. ”

He looked at Gu Xi, "There are so many employees in the factory, and when the factory director is gone, they are all laid off." ”

Gu Xi said, "E-commerce is different from your industry. If you are doing e-commerce, you are thinking about one thing, - how to make a profit with the product itself. But you can make drinks a little simpler, and incorporate more personal pursuits. It's like a friend of mine, she just wants to make drinks that everyone can drink safely, and water that everyone can drink safely. Don't think about gross profit, don't think about how much profit margin you leave for others. ”

Director Pan said, "I understand what you said. ”

Gu Xi shook his head, "You don't understand!" ”

Her tone was unequivocal. Director Pan was stunned, even Qian Xiaole. It's too faceless.

Gu Xi said, "In fact, many people don't care about spending a little more money, as long as they can buy something they like, they can use it all the time, as long as the thing is good, they are willing to spend more." But the problem now is that there are people who have money to spend and can't buy something that meets that price. If you want to transform, you also think that making beverages is not as profitable as doing e-commerce. ”

Qian Xiaole looked at her with admiration, she really dared to say it, and what she said was very reasonable.

It's exactly the same as his philosophy of opening a restaurant.

Director Pan smiled bitterly, and then sighed long, "The last time I talked to you about the production of organic drinks, I felt that you have your own ideas. Sure enough, yes. This brand ......"

He looked at Gu Xi, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere." ”

******

Reception room with black and white photographs on the walls.

Director Pan said, "You see, in 50 years, we built a factory. Look at the kid in this photo, this is an employee of our factory, he drank our food when he was a child, and now he has grown up. Work in our factory. It's not that I have to engage in e-commerce, but we can't save this brand. There is no way, we talk about feelings, but also about survival. ”

Gu Xi was a little moved.

Director Pan took a step and said, "Look at this again, this is a group photo of 80 years, you see this ordinary bottle of soda, which has fed our factory for several generations." These people, those in the back row, are all new employees who entered the site at the beginning. Now they are in their 50s. The factory is going to close, and I feel most sorry for them. ”

He looked at Gu Xi and said in a sincere tone, "I am a factory director who has no ability, and they all say that if you take one step faster, you are the first, and if you take ten steps faster, you are destined to be a loser." ”

Gu Xi couldn't bear it, and hurriedly comforted him, "You are not a loser, but even if you are in the right direction, unfamiliar industries are also risky." ”

"Factory director-" A man in his 50s was at the door of the reception room, and he said, "Something is going on in the warehouse, Director Du, please go and take a look." This person spoke in a very free tone, without deliberate respect for the factory director, but it sounded very homely and comfortable.

Director Pan said to Gu Xi, "Director Du is our deputy factory director, he can't handle it, I'll take a look." After speaking, he pointed to the person at the door, "He's the kid in the photo, look at it, he's this age now." ”

Gu Xi nodded to others.

And he saw the two men go out. She listened from afar,

Director Pan said, "What's the matter? Let you settle the things, won't you even count them? More or less? ”

"If it's less, I won't look for you, it's more. We're afraid that we sent the wrong goods before, so you can take a look. ”

"Fidelity!" Qian Xiaole stood in front of her, blocking her view, "Don't be soft-hearted. It's a bureau, you know? ”

Gu Xi took a step back and looked at him.

Qian Xiaole nodded his head with his thumb, "This surnamed Pan knows that you have the ability and the way, this factory can't sell for 100 million, he knows that you just have this money." It's counting on you. ”

Gu Xi tilted his head slightly, smiled, and asked slowly, "How do you know?" ”

"Why did you forget that my uncle knew the deputy factory director?"

Gu Xi nodded.

Qian Xiaole said, "Otherwise, why would I follow you." Of course they don't want the factory to close, it's true that the employees are pitiful, but you don't have to bother with that. It's tiring and doesn't make money doing this. How comfortable you are now, just a few words, everyone is vying to be good to you. ”

Gu Xi felt that this was really true, and she said, "But you can't say that he is just calculating me." My money was returned to your uncle, and I don't have any money now. ”

"What do you want money for, you have a relationship." Qian Xiaole said, "Think about it, we can help you settle your accounts and prove that we care about you." If you say a few words casually, it's not a matter of opening your mouth to make up 100 million, of course he is looking for you. Except for you, he didn't have to worry about finding foreign businessmen. ”

Gu Xi sneered, she didn't know that she had so much energy now.

She turned around and looked at the black-and-white photos on the wall, "At least for the workers in this factory, this product condenses their plot." It's part of their factory culture. Or there is something deeper in it that I can't understand yet. ”

Qian Xiaole heard her tone as if she was about to waver, and lowered her voice and said, "Don't be soft-hearted, even the person who came just now must have been arranged." Deliberately use emotional cards with you. ”

Gu Xi tilted his head slightly, glanced at him, then retracted his gaze and said abruptly, "...... I know. ”

"I know you're right. But sometimes I just can't bear it. It's a choice for me, but it's a livelihood for them. Gu Xi turned around and walked out, Director Pan had a lot of dealings with her, and this time it was really a snake hitting seven inches.

At this moment, she had a new understanding of herself.

*******

A week later

Gu Xi had just taken a shower, the phone rang, she answered, sat at the desk in the hotel, and reflected herself in the mirror.

Cheng Qi's voice came from the other side, "What are you doing?" ”

Gu Xi glanced back, the bed was full of clothes, the suitcase was next to it, and she said, "I want to sue you for one thing, you must not be angry." ”

"Angry?" Cheng Qi's tone was full of surprise, "You can still do something that makes me angry." ”

Gu Xi said, "Next month, well, in June, I won't be going to meet you in London." - Well, I won't go in July. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Qi's voice raised, "...... Why? I'm going to be upset. ”

Gu Xi smiled, lowered her head, she saw herself in the mirror, and her face was radiant in an instant, she said, "Cheng Qi, I bought a company." It is a company established after World War II and has a long history. Our iconic brand has endured for three generations, and is an integral part of many people's memories. There is also culture and connotation. I can't believe I'm so honored to take on this kind of company. It gave me a huge sense of mission. ”

Cheng Qi's laughing voice came, "...... Is this your handpicked cultural package? Say it again in a language I understand. ”

Gu Xi rolled his eyes and said, "...... Well, a soda factory that was founded in 1950. It's the factory where we bought land, they couldn't run it, I was soft-hearted, and they forced it on me. ”

The opposite side was empty for a while, and then Cheng Qi burst into laughter, he covered the earpiece, and Gu Xi could also hear it.

She shook the phone line and said, "Don't laugh." ――The last time I told you that I should spend more time guiding myself, now I think maybe I just like to help people.

I used to help Dai Shaodong and Tang Niancong because I didn't resist it from the bottom of my heart. And I think there is something that is logical and doesn't feel reluctant is what I really want to do. Are you right? ”

"But where do you have the money?"

Gu Xi's heart is sweet, he always thinks the most practical for her.

"No money." Gu Xi said, "This time, Director Pan gave me sincerity, and their head office gave me two years, and we will give the money in batches after half a year." I'm just going to have to take care of the debts they have out of now. ”

"How much is the foreign debt? ――Do you want me to send you money? ”

"No, I don't. I will dispose of some unnecessary things, they are too big, and they want to engage in e-commerce. Gu Xiling was sharp and quickly told the general situation.

"I'm quick to cut through the mess, the foreign debt is not enough, Zhong Tongsheng will pay part of it in advance."

Cheng Qi noticed the wording she used, "Advance? That doesn't have to be returned? ”

Gu Xi sneered, "Everyone is a friend." ”

Cheng Qi sighed, "Mrs. Cheng, now that everyone is holding money and there is no way to chase you, it makes me think of a person." ”

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and fell on the bed laughing.

When Cheng Qi became Qi Ye, not many people wanted to know him with money, but there was no way to deliver it.

Her stomach hurt from laughter, and she endured it, and said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow to go to various markets to see what's going on." Their things are not bad, and since I have taken over, I will handle them for him. ”

Cheng Qi said, "Just do it well before you get married." ”

Gu Xi thought that she was so busy before her marriage last time, and hurriedly said, "This time is different...... She sat up, pulled a skirt with her hand, folded it and said, "I want to do a good deed before marriage, and it can be regarded as accumulating some blessings for the two of us, don't you say it's good?" ”

“…… Of course! Cheng Qi said, "You like to help people, I knew it before." ”

Gu Xi smiled sweetly.

Cheng Qi said, "-- just don't be too tired." ”

Gu Xi folded the skirt and put it on one side, "No, I'll go to the market, and just take a look at the current era, and see what the difference is in the future." I think it's fun and a little exciting. ”

"Who's going with you?"

"Our vice president. Comrade Xiaodong. ”

Cheng Qi said, "That's good." ”

"That's right." Gu Xi put down his clothes and took the phone, "The most important thing is what to do with our later project?" I have a designer to follow up on the construction of the house here, absolutely no problem. But in the later stage, the independent voice control, access control system, infrared sensing, facial recognition software, and even the dust removal ones you installed before. What to do? ”

Cheng Qi said, "How about letting foreigners do it?" In this way, when they are gone, no one knows the details of our house. ”

"That's good!" Gu Xi said, "Then have you contacted it?" Know who to look for? ”

"I'll leave this to me, and I'll call you tomorrow."

Gu Xi put his mind at ease and said, "Remember that it must be completed before September." Otherwise, it will delay our marriage. ”

"Okay." Cheng Qi replied with a smile.

Gu Xi said, "Then I'll talk to you on hands-free, I'll leave tomorrow, and tonight Qian Xiaole They said they would practice it for me." ”

"Practice?"

Gu Xi put the phone on the table, took off her pajamas, put on a skirt and said, "Actually, it's ...... Together, the last time I came back, they kept asking me to eat but didn't make an appointment. ”

“…… You're so busy. ”

Gu Xi pulled the zipper with difficulty, and said seriously: "Of course, I have a company established in 1950, and thousands of employees are waiting for me to take care of it, of course I am busy." ”

Opposite, "......"

*******

Gu Xi came out of the hotel, Yu Zishan's car was parked outside, and she saw it at a glance.

Yu Zishan pushed the car door down, walked to the co-pilot to open the door for her, "Mr. Gu, you must drink today, you should be mentally prepared." ”

Gu Xi said, "Celebrating our company? Something you can't hide. But Director Pan came over and asked him to drink with you. ”

"So you've been prepared."

Yu Zishan got into the car with a smile, turned out, and arrived at Qianyongju in a short time.

Qian Xiaole personally greeted him, followed by his manager.

No one saw that Gu Xi was not as attentive as Manager Liu, he said, "Miss Gu, we have come out with several small points recently, which are very good, I know that you are coming, especially let them prepare in advance." You'll try it later. ”

"Thank you, you're welcome."

Qian Xiaole and Yu Zishan walked behind and glared at Manager Liu.

said hatefully, "Authenticity is not sensible, Manager Liu followed her, and she lived more and more." actually steals the limelight from the boss. ”

Yu Zishan smiled and said, "Fidelity is not polite." Such a person is actually reliable. Don't look at the lack of friendship, but if you want to have something, are you willing to entrust it to her? ”

Qian Xiaole thought about it, although she didn't seem to like to join in the fun, if she had something to ask her for, or ask her for help.

But it's a reliable one! - Her character is there.

I don't like to say right and wrong, and people are simple and trustworthy.

He was quiet for a while, as if he suddenly saw through the phenomenon the essence of Gu Baozhen's attraction to him.

He had a short sweet heart, and he left a little absent-mindedly.

In the hallway, the people on the other side passed by, and he didn't see it.

Yu Zishan said hello, found that Qian Xiaole was still stunned, and said to the man, "You are also here, I will go to your private room to sit later." ”

The man smiled and nodded, turned and pushed open the door of the private room, which was filled with several well-dressed young men.

Closing the door, he said to the lord, "Twenty thousand, you have come to the right place today." Just now in the corridor, I saw Qian Xiaole, and Yu Zishan was also there. Manager Liu in front of him accompanied 'that' woman, and his demeanor was respectful. ”

Jian Erwan put down the cup and said, "She has given things to Manager Liu, and it is normal to see her courteous." ”

"Twenty thousand, did you find out?" The people next to him were immediately excited, they were all there last time.

Jian Erwan frowned a little impatiently, and he said, "Aren't you talking about business?" Gossip back. ”

Red and white ceremonies, invited, as the most prominent figure, he didn't want to talk about private matters at this time.
