Chapter 8 The new general manager
Li Fan has come to deliver medicine and play chess before, but he has never asked about his family's situation.
He took two bananas from the coffee table and gave them to the little gray monkey to eat, and the two set up their chess sets to start the game.
On the other hand, Li Fan said: "Lao Sun, I used to practice taekwondo in college, with a three-dan black belt, and my body is much tougher than ordinary people, but I can't lift that stone pier, you are so thin, how did you get it?"
"That's not how to get it! I've practiced kung fu, and my strength in my hands and feet is greater than that of ordinary people!"
"Isn't it one of those Shaolin martial arts on the Internet?"
"Hehe! Can anyone find out what they see can be real kung fu? Who would be stupid enough to take out their housekeeping skills and share them!"
"Oh, you mean all those martial arts, qigong, tai chi and all that you have on the Internet and in bookstores are fake?"
"It can't be said to be fake, it can only be said to be a low-level fitness routine!
"Where can I learn the real kung fu? Shaolin Temple or Wudang Mountain?"
"Hehe! That's all bluffing, just cheating the people out of money, and the real kung fu is in the hands of various families and sects, and it is something that they live and live in, and it will not be leaked. The world that ordinary people see is nothing more than a mirror, specially expressed to appease the public, and the things behind it cannot be understood until that level!"
"Mirrored Flowers and Water ......"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Fan returned home with the little gray monkey, and as soon as he entered the living room, he heard Li's mother exclaim: "This is ...... What is this? Li Fan: Where did you get a wild monkey?"
After thinking about it, he didn't dare to say that he bought it for 3,000 yuan, Li Fan said with a flickering speech: "Oh...... The little monkey got lost and I gave it something to eat...... It just followed me......"
"It's dirty enough to have two big monkeys at home, you can get me a small one back!"
Father Li coughed and said, "Li Fan, look at the good things you have done, and you have also been burdened!"
"Over...... I will take it to release ...... in two days" Before Li's mother said the next sentence, Li Fan slipped into his room with the little gray monkey, and Li's mother's roar sounded outside the door: "Stinky to death!"
Hearing the sound of his parents returning to the room after washing, Li Fan quietly opened the door and took the little gray monkey to the bathroom.
Back in the room, Li Fan found alcohol to help the little gray monkey disinfect the wounds on his body, and then applied ointment, and then pointed to the wound and said to the little gray monkey seriously: "There is medicine on the wound, you can't lick it, understand?"
The little gray monkey was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction of Li Fan's finger, and actually nodded.
Li Fan let out a light "huh", feeling that the little gray monkey's IQ was far beyond his imagination, and tried to say a few more instructions, and the little gray monkey actually carried it out.
Is this a wild monkey? Could it be that they were trained by those showmen? They have not been trained to be so spiritual!
Li Fan sighed for a while, thought for a while, and said to the little gray monkey: "Since you are so smart, I will give you a name, from today onwards, I will call you 'Little Gray', do you understand?" The little gray monkey squeaked a few times.
Li Fan didn't know if it really accepted his name, so he brought a cardboard box, pressed the lid on all four sides into it, and spread a bath towel inside, pointed to the cardboard box and said to Xiao Ash: "You sleep here, okay?"
Little Ash glanced at the cardboard box inexplicably, but did not move. Li Fan locked the door, and regardless of whether Xiao Ash slept in the cardboard box or not, he climbed into bed and slerose.
The next morning, Li Fan was woken up by the alarm clock, and when he got up, Xiao Ash was gone, and the door was still locked.
It's weird! It can disappear into thin air......
Just thinking about it, there was a "squeak" sound in his ears, and Li Fan followed the sound to see that the little guy was lying on the top of the bookshelf looking at himself.
Smiling helplessly, Li Fan walked out of the room, took back a few apples and a bowl of water and put them in the room. When Ash saw it, he immediately jumped off the bookshelf and began to enjoy his breakfast.
After locking the door, Li Fan walked into the living room and had breakfast with his parents. Mother Li said while eating: "Later, you go to work, lock the monkey in your room, and don't let it crawl around!"
"Oh......"
After a while, Li Fan finished breakfast and got dressed, took a few bananas and walked into his room, only to see Xiao Ash jumping between the bookshelves and the wardrobe and playing.
Li Fan smiled and said to Xiao Ash: "Xiao Ash, I'm going to work, you can stay in the room by yourself, understand?"
Xiao Ash stopped and looked at Li Fan, squeaked a few times, and began to jump around again. When Li Fan saw it, he helplessly grabbed his satchel, locked the door and went downstairs.
Came to the office and processed the documents in his seat for a while, there was a commotion at the door of the company, Li Fan raised his eyes and saw that the old head of the Chen family walked in with several young men and women.
As soon as he entered the door, the spirited old man asked everyone in the company to be summoned in the hall, and then spoke:
"Hello everyone! I am the head of the Chen family and the major shareholder of this company, many of you know me, today I have a few news to tell you, first, your general manager Chen Fugui is missing!"
After the old man finished speaking, he scanned the expressions of everyone in the hall back and forth with sharp eyes, and Li Fan quickly pretended to be surprised when he saw this.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything abnormal, the old man retracted his gaze in disappointment, and continued: "The Chen family has sent people to inquire around, and any of you who knows the news of Chen Fugui should also give feedback to the Chen family in time, and the Chen family has prepared a generous bonus." ”
After waiting for a while, the hall was still silent, and the old man coughed for a moment, and then said:
"Before Chen Fugui was found, the company couldn't be managed by no one, from today on, Chen Meili is your general manager, everyone must cooperate with her, Meili, you can also say a few words!"
She actually took over......
When Li Fan was muttering in his heart, Chen Meili stepped forward and said:
"Hello everyone! I used to manage Chen's cosmetics company, and now I have taken over this medicinal herb company, and I hope you will give me more advice if you are not familiar with the business. All positions in the company will not change within half a year, everyone can work with peace of mind, and communicate with me more if there is anything! Now everyone should go back to their jobs! Li Fan! You come to my office, I have something to find you!
The head of the Chen family left with the others, leaving only Chen Meili alone, Li Fan walked into Chen Fugui's office with her, and Chen Meili closed the door with her hand.
Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Li Fan still pretended to be relaxed and lazy on the surface, sat down on the sofa, and asked, "What is Mr. Chen looking for me?"
Chen Meili sat on the chair of the class, shook her long hair like a waterfall, looked at Li Fan with charming eyes, and said softly: "We are old classmates, if I don't understand anything about business in the future, you have to teach me!"
Li Fan's heart was "pounding" by her, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Public and private, that's all my business!"
Looking at Li Fan's flushed cheeks, Chen Meili smiled proudly, and then said, "I'll invite you to dinner after work today and ask for some business advice, okay?"
"Hmm...... You can talk about business in the office, don't you make an appointment with Ding Feng after work?"
Chen Meili, who was originally smiling, immediately changed her face when she heard the word "Ding Feng", and said coldly:
"Don't mention that self-righteous guy to me! My dignified Miss Chen is in front of him, and he is still pretending to be forced, and he hasn't even taken the initiative to pull my hand, thinking that he is something!"
Li Fan shook his head in a little surprise and said, "Since Ding Feng doesn't like you, you can change it!"
When Chen Meili heard this, her expression suddenly darkened: "You don't understand, I can only look for him!"
"No, you must find the richest man in the coal city? Your Chen family is not short of money!"
"It's not about money, it's about asking for ...... family."
"Is it your parents who like him?"
"Parents?" Chen Meili laughed miserably, lowered her head and said: "I'm different from you, my father died early, and I don't know who my mother is......"
When Li Fan heard this, he couldn't say a word of surprise, and he felt a little more sympathy for Chen Meili in his heart.
How can you ordinary people know the talent training model of the family, I am just selected by my father from the dozens of fertilized eggs matched in the egg bank, how can I have a mother......
Chen Meili was secretly sad in her heart, and did not continue to talk about her parents, and changed her words: "Don't talk about this, since you don't have time at night, forget it, does the company have any important business to do recently?"
“...... Oh...... There has been no major event recently, Chen Fugui and I have made an appointment to go to the origin of Guichuan Province next month to buy several newly listed medicinal materials, and go to Yunxi Province in July to ......"
"It just so happens that I also want to go to the medicinal herb planting area. ”
"Hmm...... Be prepared, there are not such good hotels in the countryside, and there are no decent restaurants!"
"Ahh
"There are a few places to fly!"
“...... Let's go and try to find a better hotel!"
"Then I'll book a room this morning, many merchants go to buy during the harvest season, and there may not be a room!" Li Fan left Chen Meimei's office after speaking.
I go to work during the day, sometimes I ask Xue Ling'er to go out at night, sometimes I am caught by Xu Yingjie to play chess, and I often take Xiao Ash out to relax, and insist on practicing meditation skills every day before going to bed, Li Fan's life has become fuller.
Chen Fugui has no news, the female policeman named Nie Qingqing brought someone to the company to investigate once, and did not have any suspicions about Li Fan, and the matter was finally over.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Ash and Li Fan's family have gotten along more and more harmoniously, and they have become the fourth member of the family.
Li Fan has practiced meditation exercises for more than a month, although he didn't feel any changes in his body, his five senses are indeed sharper, his cardiopulmonary function is stronger than before, and he is much more relaxed when he runs with Xu Yingjie.
One Monday morning, Li Fan, Chen Meili, Zhang Cheng, and Lu Zhong set off together to purchase new drugs in Guichuan Province as planned.
After a few hours on the plane, the four of them came to Miaojiang in Guichuan Province and lived in the bamboo building of Miao Village.
I thought that the acquisition of medicinal materials would be as smooth as before, but I didn't expect the situation to change this year, and Ma Yuanyuan brought a large group of small merchants who opened pharmacies in Majia's online e-commerce mall to purchase from the group.
Other merchants were all petty and didn't pose any threat to Chen Meili and Li Fan, but Ma Yuanyuan and they often raised the price to sweep all the medicinal materials, and Chen Meili almost quarreled with them several times.
Back at the Zhulou Hotel in the evening, the four of them sat around the bamboo table for dinner, Chen Meili said indignantly while eating: "If you don't make money, you won't let others make it, how can there be profits if the purchase price is so high!"
Li Fan took a bite of food and said slowly:
"They're not in the same situation as ours, they're online e-commerce, they don't have to pay rent, they don't have to pay taxes, they don't have electricity bills and other miscellaneous expenses, and they don't have to hire so many people. We are a brick-and-mortar chain pharmacy, with expensive rents, high taxes and fees, many employees, and rebates for doctors who supply hospitals, and the cost is several times higher than theirs. ”
"Then there is no way? You are the marketing manager, you can find a way for me to come out!" Chen Meili began to play with the young lady's temper.
"The rent accounts for the majority of the cost, and most of our pharmacies are in the commercial plaza of Ding Feng's house, you talk to Ding Feng and ask him to reduce the rent!"
"After talking, Ding Feng didn't let him at all, saying that his shop was not worried about rent!"
"That's simple, let's just go to the Ma family's e-mall to open a pharmacy!"
“...... I've also thought about whether opening an online store will affect the business of our brick-and-mortar pharmacies?"
"If you don't hold a meeting with others, is it possible that you don't want to be affected?"
"But the Chen family and the Ding family have been cooperating for many years, and the Ma family's e-commerce mall has seriously affected the business of the Ding family's physical shopping mall, and it is a thorn in Ding Feng's side, is it appropriate for us to stand on the Ma family's side?"
"The-for-tat confrontation between the Ding family and the Ma family is a matter for the two of them, why do you Chen family want to wade into this troubled water? Whoever gives the low price, you will use whose platform to do business, this is a matter of course!"
“...... I'm afraid that the head of the family will have to say something about such a big matter, so I'll go back and ask him what he means......"
The procurement in Guichuan Province did not go as smoothly as expected, and Chen Meili kept complaining that the hotel was not high-end enough and the restaurant was not hygienic, but when it came to business, she was very old-fashioned.
The price was pressed just right, neither higher than the market price, nor so low as to cause disgust among the medicine farmers, although some medicinal materials had to be purchased at the same high price as the Ma family, but most of the medicinal materials were still traded at the expected price.
Li Fan always thought that Chen Meili was just a rich girl who worshiped money, but he didn't expect that whether it was talking about business or arranging company work, Chen Meili showed a talent far beyond Chen Fugui.
Once saw that the campus of a local primary school was very dilapidated, Chen Meili actually donated 100,000 yuan to repair the school building without hesitation.
