Chapter 23 A Pleasant Atmosphere of the Debriefing Meeting
Ning Feiyang finally waited for Lu Kaiwen's first work report.
It's not so much a debriefing, it's more like two friends sitting in the tea room chatting.
Ning Feiyang gathered Jing to wash the tea attentively, pour it, and replace it with new water. The fragrance of tea gradually diffused as he completed a series of movements.
"Mr. Ning, your tea ceremony is extraordinary. I wonder if this management method is the same as this tea ceremony. Lu Kaiwen watched Ning Feiyang's leisurely movements with great interest.
"Hehe, Kevin. You have a complaint in that. Ning Feiyang smiled and poured tea on the two Jing Mei Xiao porcelain bowls in front of him.
Lu Kaiwen drank it all, and the tea before the rain had a faint bitterness.
"Of course. It's okay that I'm not responsible for Ri Chang's work, but it's good now, Mr. Ning seems to have broken his promise. A faint wry smile appeared on Lu Kaiwen's face.
"Where, I've been secretly cooperating with you." Ning Feiyang smiled happily.
"Really? I've heard that you hardly go to work at your usual hours now. I just come and hang out every day, and I can't stay for a few hours. Kevin Lu quipped.
"No way, I'm going to give everyone the impression that I'm going to let you take on the job in full. Wait until the most stressful stage is over, and then you take a breath. It's a special time. However, I've been secretly helping you. Let's just talk about your assistant, she is what I recommended to Wei Jincheng. Well, I'm still not idle. Ning Feiyang's smug tone was difficult to hide, and every time he thought about it, it was always difficult to hide his closeness to that girl.
"Su Qing was recommended by you?" Lu Kaiwen frowned slightly, and immediately stretched out again.
Ning Feiyang, who was busy pouring tea, didn't notice Lu Kaiwen's subtle expression.
"Yes, so, I'm secretly cooperating with your work. How about your new assistant being able to keep up with you as a foreign executive? Ning Feiyang was intentionally or unintentionally learning about the girl's current situation.
"It seems that Mr. Ning has been caring about Su Qing. How? Are you interested in accepting this prospective daughter-in-law? Lu Kaiwen's joking tone was interspersed with inquiry.
"Where, I don't intervene in children's affairs. It's just that there's something about this girl that I admire. Kevin, you know, I've never been very worried about them post-80s, but Su Qing doesn't seem to be like this. What is your impression of her? Ning Feiyang's emotion seemed endless.
"People who Mr. Ning admires naturally can't be wrong. Let me talk about my recent work. Lu Kaiwen tactfully changed the topic, and he had a jingling for Su Qing. In connection with Ning Feiyang's high mood today, thinking back to Su Qing's seemingly unintentional search for an excuse to see Ning Feiyang these days, Lu Kaiwen had to have this kind of jing.
"Okay, forget about business." Ning Feiyang also realized his gaffe.
"I read some reports one after another, and I have a general understanding of some basic information about the company. Mr. Ning, I would like to share my views. Kevin Lu got to the point very simply.
"Okay. I'd like to hear from you, the executive vice president, too. You know, although my company has a certain scale, it is undoubtedly in the bottleneck period, and if you want to have a big development, you must have a big move. Ning Feiyang suddenly stopped leisurely sipping tea, and the expression on his face became focused.
"Not really. I would just like to make a few comments. Mr. Ning, we are now mainly focusing on three areas of development. First, foreign trade. Second, investment in medical equipment. Third, real estate. Is that right? Kevin Lu began his report with the most concise inquiry.
"Yes, we started by reselling steel. However, the great development still began with the acquisition of import and export franchises. But, Kevin, you don't know the history of China, the franchise gave the company a huge profit, but now there is no such thing as a franchise, and the competition is naturally fierce. As for the investment in medical equipment, I can say that a lot of effort has been poured into it, and a lot of money has been poured into it. Well, we didn't get involved for a long time, and I didn't have a complete plan yet. Kevin, I'm telling you this, and I hope it will help you in your decision-making. Ning Feiyang is both an answer and a summary.
"Mr. Ning, your introduction at this moment is decisive for my work. Your attitude is the most important basis for my decision-making. I'd like to talk to you about that. Kevin Lu didn't rush to say what he thought.
"Tell me about it." Ning Feiyang urged.
"Mr. Ning, what do you think is the most promising industry in China in the next ten years?" Kevin Lu suddenly asked a question.
"Huh. Kevin, are you testing me? Ning Feiyang smiled, but then fell into deep thought.
"I think it's the real estate and automotive industries." Lu Kaiwen himself answered, which can be regarded as denying Ning Feiyang's joke.
"Yes, I have a hunch like this, but I have no basis, just feelings." Ning Feiyang affirmed the other party's conclusion.
"Needless to say, this is an inevitable stage for all industrialized countries. China will inevitably have to go through it again. It's just that in China, the process will be longer. Because China is a big market, and the level of inflation is much greater than that of other countries. Kevin Lu still seemed to be talking to himself.
Ning Feiyang nodded in agreement.
"So, it seems like we're going to have to prepare for this big development as well. That is the conclusion that I would like to report today. Lu Kaiwen's words became shorter and shorter.
"Kevin, what do you mean...... That seems a bit presumptuous...... How can you ......" Ning Feiyang nodded constantly and then shook his head again, he seemed to have difficulty making up his mind.
"Mr. Ning, it's time to make up your mind. If you use your funds evenly like this, you may not do well in the end. Lu Kaiwen's rhetoric gradually became sharper.
"Tell me why, convince me." Ning Feiyang stared at the other party and accentuated his tone.
"Do you think your money can handle the surging development of real estate? The 2008 Olympic Games are about to begin, and the S City will also usher in the World Expo, which is a precursor to China's huge development, and it is a golden opportunity for real estate. But it's also a time when land costs are soaring. In addition, China's stock market is also maturing, and the threshold for entry is getting higher and higher, and only large capital can seek large funds in the A-share market. How many chances do you have to wait. If you don't integrate now, how can you become a listed company? Lu Kaiwen suddenly stopped his heated discussion, he sipped his tea, and waited for Ning Feiyang's reaction.
"You're right. That's because I thought of this, but I didn't know exactly what to do, so I thought of you. Do you have a specific solution? Ning Feiyang's expression gradually became resolute.
"There is a give-and-take. While there is still profit to be made, let the two pieces of trade and medical investment go out and let professional companies do it. We also do professional real estate companies. Kevin Lu expounded his point without any expression.
"That's too arbitrary, isn't it? Just let it out? ......" The corners of Ning Feiyang's mouth twitched a few times.
"I know you've been working on it for years, but they've been a drag on your money. You simply can't centralize your money to buy or sell property. There are already nearly 100 real estate companies in S City, and large foreign real estate developers are also eyeing them. It's time for you to decide. Let's talk about foreign trade first, you don't produce, just re-export and processing discounts, not to mention low profits, high risks, and large capital occupation. The international environment is getting worse and worse, and the gold market is now in China. That's why I came to China. You can't just stare at that pitiful export tax rebate anymore. Kevin Lu's explanation was patient, but also decisive.
Ning Feiyang pondered.
"Okay, you're right. What about healthcare investments? You can't be so pessimistic. "Ning Feiyang is still working hard.
"Yes, more pessimistic. In the 90s, medical investment was OK, but hospitals were still the same model. You can find opportunities to invest in partnership with hospitals. However, the capital occupation is too large, and the recovery cycle is too long. The most troublesome thing is that you have to assign personnel to manage. These are all things you want to avoid now. To put it mildly, you will hardly have a chance to invest in medical equipment in the future, because the hospital will be able to procure it on its own. Their funds are much larger than ours. International devices will also seek their purchase directly. We can no longer have a dedicated medical equipment investment department. Alas. It's time to give up. Kevin Lu sighed and ended his elaboration.
Ning Feiyang stopped talking, just playing with the teacup.
Kevin Lu left quietly. The moment he closed the door behind him, he let out a sigh of relief. He knew that he had convinced Ning Feiyang. He was taking risks, if he couldn't convince Ning Feiyang, then he would only be a passer-by in Lingyun Company. All his plans came to an abrupt end on this day.
When passing by Su Qing's side, Lu Kaiwen couldn't help but think of Ning Feiyang's concern for this girl, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Mr. Lu, how did you talk with Mr. Ning?" Su Qing stood up and asked with concern.
Lu Kaiwen turned around and stared at the assistant in a daze, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"What? Shouldn't I care about your work? Su Qing noticed the change in the other party, she was stunned at first, and then met the other party's gaze, she looked forward to the boss she didn't like to have a seizure.
Lu Kaiwen shook his head in disappointment, as if he wanted to shake off the clutter in his mind.
"Nope. Mr. Ning and I had a great conversation. Tomorrow we will go to the construction site to investigate. You prepare. Lu Kaiwen was perfunctory.
Looking at the back that disappeared behind the door, Su Qing had an inexplicable feeling.
"Neuropathy." Su Qing found a suitable explanation to ease her emotions.
