Chapter 24 Shangpin enters BJ
"Dear colleagues, the main discussion in today's meeting is our Shangpin Real Estate's entry into BJ." Song Mingzhi just started, the audience was agitated, and everyone was talking about it, "Everyone, please stop for a moment and wait for me to finish. I invite everyone to speak freely and let’s discuss setting up a branch in BJ together.”
Having said this, Song Mingzhi turned to his assistant and said, "Xiao Bi, hand over the information." Xiao Bi walked forward and handed a thick stack of documents to Mr. Song.After Song Mingzhi took it, he turned to the middle-level employees of the company who were attending the meeting and continued, "I have in my hand a detailed plan drafted by An Chen for Shangpin Real Estate to set up a branch in BJ. Please read it and discuss the establishment of BJ." Feel free to talk about the branch's affairs and discuss everyone's opinions." Mr. Song turned around and handed the document to Xiao Bi, "You can send it to all the leaders, one copy for each person."
"Mr. Song," Mr. Yang was the first to express his opinion, "I think now is the wrong time to enter BJ. Since the beginning of this year, under the influence of the global environment, my country's real estate market has gradually weakened. What our company should do is to reduce costs and expenses. , increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and survive this period, rather than expand against the trend.”
"Mr. Song, I also agree with Lao Yang's opinion." Mr. Jia then began to speak, "This year, the real estate market has not been as popular as in previous years. Now both volume and price have dropped. I have heard that some small companies have sold zero Down payment, [-]% off interest rate advertising, our profits have been continuously compressed, and the situation is not all good. Now if we venture into BJ at this point, the company may be dragged down." Mr. Jia, the veteran of the company, said a bit Aggressive.
"Yes! Mr. Song, why don't we set up a branch in BJ and wait until the time is right?" Mr. Cao of the company also agreed.
"Is there anyone else who holds different opinions?" Song Mingzhi was obviously a little unhappy, with a sullen look on his face, "I understand what you all mean, and I understand them all. Why do I have to choose to enter the BJ market at this time? I'll be honest with you. , I started formulating this plan last year. At that time, I considered that in case of a major adjustment in housing prices next year, the BJ market would be safer than here. Sure enough, starting from the beginning of this year, the real estate market began to shrink, until now this situation."
"I also know that, like me, you are all seniors and juniors, and you are counting on your current job to support your family, and you don't dare to make any mistakes. But will blindly defending definitely lead to good results? You have only seen risks, not opportunities. Crisis, crisis, and danger often contain opportunities. The reason why I chose to enter BJ now is because I have chosen this time. Just imagine, if the market was in the past few years When times are good, if we go to BJ’s, will we still have a share of the soup?”
Having said this, Song Mingzhi looked around and saw that most people were bowing their heads in silence, so he continued to explain his point of view, "Now that housing prices are falling across the country, BJ is relatively safer. In the past six months , the company's financial situation is indeed not good, but thanks to our good performance and accumulation in the past few years, we are now fully capable of going out to fight a tough battle and successfully open up the first-tier market, which means that our Shangpin will have the potential to From a national third-tier brand to a second-tier or even first-tier brand, this is a choice we have to make and a worthy one. The establishment of BJ branch can be said to be the success or failure of our Shangpin."
After Song Mingzhi finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.
"I agree with Mr. Song's point of view. As the saying goes, the dead will be moved alive. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, we should break out of the siege and fight a bloody road." Mr. Li was the first to break the silence and express his support for the establishment of a new branch in BJ. .
"I also agree with Mr. Song's proposal. After all, BJ is the capital of China, a place that millions of Chinese people yearn for. Some people have said that if real estate in first-tier cities sneezes, places like us will catch a cold. What's more, we Going to BJ is to set up a branch, not to move the headquarters there, so you can explore the road first!" Mr. Fan also agreed.
"Okay, in that case, let's vote by a show of hands? Those who agree to set up a branch in BJ, please raise your hands." Mr. Song proposed a show of hands, "Okay! The majority agree, then let's set up a branch in BJ. Officially passed.”
Seeing that the bill was officially passed, Mr. Jia quickly asked: "Mr. Song, who do you plan to send to BJ to take the lead?"
"In terms of ability, An Chen is one of the few talents in the company. Do you have any objections to this? So I plan to appoint An Chen as the general manager of BJ branch, with full responsibility for all projects in BJ." Mr. Song replied.
"Isn't this arrangement appropriate? Mr. Song." Mr. Fan stood up and objected first. "An Chen is too young. He has only been with Shangpin for a few years and his qualifications are relatively low."
"Yes, Mr. Song, if you want to send An Chen there, then our old subordinates who have followed you to conquer the world will have a hard time!" Mr. Cao also did not approve of An Chen taking command.
Mr. Jia couldn't hold it in any longer and stood up to speak: "I think it's more appropriate for me to go. What do you think?"
"Well, Mr. Jia is the veteran of the company and has seniority, so he should go there." Mr. Yang agreed.
"Going to BJ to set up a branch is a crucial step for our Shangpin. It is related to the overall situation of the company and the task is arduous. Now is not the time to rank based on seniority, it is the time for the most capable!" Mr. Song disagreed with the views of the previous few, " Among all of you here, who’s performance is better than An Chen’s? And who thinks that his ability is above An Chen’s?” At this point, the several bosses who had objected just now fell silent.
"Although An Chen has relatively junior qualifications, the mall is like a battlefield! Everyone, setting up a branch in BJ is not a trivial matter. You are going to be the vanguard to open the way. Ability is crucial." After Mr. Song finished speaking, he looked forward with expectation. He glanced at An Chen.
An Chen, who had not spoken until now, stood up and said with firm eyes: "I know that in front of all the business veterans, my qualifications are still very young, but I am confident that I can lead Shangpin to break through the encirclement and gain a firm foothold in BJ. I I hereby voluntarily sign a military order. If Shangpin's plan to enter BJ fails due to my personal ability, then I am willing to resign from all positions in the company!"
After listening to An Chen's words, Song Mingzhi smiled happily. He turned to face everyone and said, "Of course, An Chen cannot carry such a heavy burden alone. I am going to send a few more capable people." Go over and assist An Chen in his work. Who here is willing to go to BJ to assist An Chen?"
"I'll go!" Mr. Li stood up first to express his stance.
Mr. Song cast a look of approval: "Xiao Li, thank you! But now we need you more here."
"Mr. Jia, how about you go?" Song Mingzhi looked at Mr. Jia.
"Okay! I'll go, I'll go." Mr. Jia felt a little unconvinced by being the deputy for a young man like An Chen, but he still agreed.
"Mr. Cao, why don't you go over and help, and come back after the branch is established." Song Mingzhi knew that Mr. Cao was famously afraid of his wife. He was reluctant to leave his wife and children, and he probably wasn't willing to stay in BJ for a long time, but Mr. Cao is a good person, he won't cheat, and he should be able to get along with An Chen.
"Okay, Mr. Song, no problem. I will definitely assist Mr. An and get BJ Branch on the right track as soon as possible." Mr. Cao said.
"Okay! Then the matter of setting up a branch in BJ is settled! Let's plan the next work carefully."
After the meeting, An Chen came to Song Mingzhi's office.
"Mr. Song, I have something unclear and I would like to ask you for advice."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Why didn't you agree with Mr. Li to go to BJ and instead sent Mr. Jia there?" An Chen was puzzled.
"Mr. Li is too young and not very capable. I'm not worried about you two young people coming over. In addition, we still have to take into account the face of the company's elders. We can't let them think that I, Song Mingzhi, have capable young people. I’m starting to dislike and alienate these old people.”
"Then why do you insist on sending Mr. Jia there? Mr. Jia has reservations about setting up a BJ branch, and it seems that he doesn't agree with the personnel appointment." An Chen continued to ask.
"An Chen, you don't understand. Mr. Jia must be sent there. Although he is opposed to setting up a branch in BJ on the surface, he is still happy to go to BJ in his heart. If he is not allowed to go to BJ this time, In the past, he will definitely be resentful of me, and the follow-up work will not be easy to carry out. Besides, Lao Jia still has some ideas, and he will help you come up with ideas when you encounter problems." After speaking, Song Mingzhi patted him. An Chen's shoulders.
"Today, despite all the opinions, we finally finalized the matter of setting up a branch in BJ, An Chen! I have high hopes for you, and the future of our Shangpin will be left to you!" Song Mingzhi said earnestly. .
"Well, Mr. Song, I also know that you put a lot of pressure on me to take the lead. Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" An Chen said firmly.
"You are going to a place you are not familiar with this time. As for me, I will assign you an assistant. In addition to assisting in your work, he can also take care of your life." Mr. Song said to An Chen with a smile.
"Who is it? Mr. Song." An Chen asked curiously.
"You will know then. She will come over early tomorrow morning. I will introduce you to her then." Mr. Song said with a smile.
"Uncle, what's the matter? You called me here in a hurry." The next morning, in Song Mingzhi's office, a fashionable girl in her 20s took Song Mingzhi's arm and asked coquettishly.
"I'm going to introduce you to someone today." Song Mingzhi looked at the girl dotingly.
"My dad wants you to introduce someone to me again, right?" The girl pouted, her face full of rejection.
"It's really not the case this time. Uncle, he plans to set up a branch in BJ. The general manager of this branch has never been to BJ before, so he is not familiar with the situation there. You went to college in BJ, so you are familiar with it, uncle. I would like to ask you to assist him in his work and take care of his life."
"It's not difficult to take care of life. Even with work, I don't know much about real estate. I don't know if I can help." The girl looked embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter. Our general manager is young and promising. Just be a good assistant to him. Take good care of his life. Don't be hungry or thirsty. If he is sick, someone will take care of him!" Song Mingzhi comforted him with a teasing tone. holding girl.
"Mr. Song, are you looking for me?" An Chen was summoned to Song Mingzhi's office.
"Come on, come on! Let me introduce you. This is An Chen, the new general manager of BJ Branch." Song Mingzhi pointed at An Chen and introduced to the girl. He turned to face the girl and introduced to An Chen again, "This is my niece. Song Shanshan just graduated from college last year and is a top student in University C. She is very familiar with BJ, so I would be relieved to have her be your assistant."
Song Shanshan stared at the tall, handsome, and extraordinary Mr. An in front of her. She had often heard her uncle mention An Chen before. It was said that they met him because he risked his life to save his daughter!She had always listened to her uncle talking about how outstanding An Chen was. She never expected that when she saw him today, he turned out to be such a young and handsome boy!
"I didn't expect Mr. An to be so young! You should be about the same age as me, right?" Song Shanshan's face turned red and she asked mischievously,
"Well, it should be about the same. Thank you Song Shanshan. I'll trouble you later!" An Chen said politely.
"Don't be so polite, we are all one family. As for her, you can just give her orders in the future." Song Mingzhi said to An Chen with a smile.
"You can call me Shanshan from now on. I'll call you Mr. An in the company, and I'll call you An Chen in private. Do you have any objection?" Song Shanshan couldn't restrain the ecstasy in her heart.
Song Mingzhi looked at An Chen and Song Shanshan with a smile on his face. He was keenly aware of his picky niece's affection for An Chen. It seemed that his goal was achieved.
The reason why Song Mingzhi called Song Shanshan back from BJ in a hurry, besides assisting An Chen in his work, the main purpose was to let these two children of similar age have more contact and cultivate their relationship.If the two of them could come together, not only would An Chen be able to be used by him, but he would also be able to put an end to his brother's worries.
