Back To 2005

  Chapter 792 Does not play cards according to common sense

   "President Gu, what are you doing?"

  Noticing the astonished eyes of other employees, Zhou Anan hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand.

   Not to mention, Vice President Gu, who is usually dignified and capable, bends down, but there is something special about him.

   "Mr. Zhou, I only now know that your plan for the company's development was extremely correct. I apologize to you again for my doubts about you earlier."

  After standing up, Gu Lanshan spoke out her mistake very seriously.

  Originally, the majority shareholder requested that the development of Qinglan’s stores be mainly based on the acquisition of storefronts, occupying most of the working capital, keeping Qinglan Tea’s debt ratio at a high level, disrupting all her plans.

   Now it seems that this major shareholder has a long-term vision.

  In the first two months of this year alone, the valuations of Qinglan's directly-operated stores have risen by two levels, which is based on hundreds of millions.

  Even if the profits of Qinglan Coffee and its two franchised milk tea brands are included, it is not half of this increase.

   Moreover, as housing prices in major first- and second-tier cities gradually begin to rise, the valuation of Qinglan stores will rise by a large leap, which will have an unparalleled effect on the valuation of the entire Qinglan tea drink.

   It may not take two years for their Qinglan tea to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

   No, they might still be able to ring the bell at Nasdaq.

   "Mr. Gu is serious. In the future, Qinglan will need you to steer the ship to sail further."

   I didn't expect that the capable Vice President Gu would admit his mistakes and bow his head to admit his mistakes in front of so many middle-level people. Zhou Anan, who was very touched, gave the other party a reassurance pill with a smile.

  Although the previous opinion of the other party was somewhat different from the development plan he had set, the Vice President Gu still carried it out very well and did not delay the expansion of Qinglan's directly-operated store. It can be said that he has outstanding ability and good character.

  Now the other party knows its own limitations, eliminates the little resistance, and goes all out to implement the direct-sale store plan he formulated, then Qinglan's development will be even faster in the future.

   "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your trust."

  After hearing the other party's words, Gu Lanshan's heart sank.

  She was really afraid that the company would be on the right track and would be replaced by this decisive shareholder.

  You know, Qinglan is about to become a huge ship, she is reluctant to part with such a good position and challenge.

   "Take me on a tour of the company."

   Reciprocated, Zhou Anan, who had never visited Qinglan headquarters in detail, smiled and asked the other party to lead the way.

  Compared with the general bosses of the company, Zhou An'an is a rather strange one for Qinglan Tea.

  From the beginning of Qinglan's development to now having a market value of nearly 800 million, Zhou An'an has never seriously inspected Qinglan's headquarters, and has given full authority to the general manager Wang Rong and deputy general manager Gu Lanshan.

   It was already in Zhou Anan's plan to let Gu Lanshan accompany him on the inspection this time. It could be regarded as sending a signal to all the headquarters employees that he, the big boss, still trusts Vice President Gu.

  If the female secretary hadn't reported that the middle-level leaders of Qinglan's headquarters had some gossip, which was not conducive to the management of Vice President Gu, Zhou An'an would not have spared time to come here to calm people's minds.

"OK."

   Gu Lanshan comprehended and led the big boss to inspect various departments.

At the same time, the entire Qinglan headquarters staff knew the news that the big boss came to inspect, and showed a positive outlook with the most rigorous work attitude, hoping to leave a good impression on the big boss who rarely appeared .

   Missed this opportunity, who knows what year and month the big boss will appear.

  Unfortunately, they all made the wrong wishful thinking.

   "This is the brand marketing area of ​​Dudujia. Currently, Dudujia has 15 directly-operated stores and 189 franchise stores. Compared with Gangji..."

  In addition to the dedicated office areas for Qinglan Coffee and Gangji Milk Tea, Zhou Anan also took a look at the marketing of the new brand "Dudujia".

  By taking advantage of the popularity of "You Who Came from the Star" last year, Qinglan took advantage of the opportunity to launch Dudujia fried chicken and milk tea series, which received a very successful response, and then gained a place in the field of chicken chops and mid-range milk tea.

  Qinglan Coffee, Dudujia, and Gangji Milk Tea are three horse-drawn carriages running side by side, and Qinglan, which is moving forward steadily and quickly, has already shown its dominance in the instant tea industry.

  If there is no foolish trick, it will not be difficult to ring the bell after a few years.

   "Not bad, keep up the good work."

  While inspecting, Zhou Anan took the time to shake hands with several excellent employees and said a few words of encouragement.

   Walked around for a while, and basically most of the headquarters employees knew that the big boss still trusted Vice President Gu.

   "You guys go out first, I'll have a chat with General Manager Wang alone."

   After a brief tour around the office environment of Qinglan headquarters, Zhou Anan and Wang Rong who hurried back entered the general manager's office, leaving no one else present, including the beautiful secretary who left after making tea.

   "What have you been up to lately?"

  Drinking the tea made by the beautiful secretary, Zhou Anan looked at the dusty high school classmates, and couldn't help but speculate about the progress of the other party and that first love.

   "Take time to visit the directly-operated stores in downtown Hangzhou, and on weekends, go to other cities to see the directly-operated stores of Qinglan and the franchise stores of Dudujia and Gangji."

  Throwing the long coat on the sofa, the somewhat tired Wang Rong talked about his packed itinerary.

   "Let's leave these things to someone from the marketing department. You, the boss, don't need to do it. Anyway, the general manager of a company with a market value of hundreds of millions, sits at the center and controls the overall situation, which is your most important responsibility."

  For such a diligent general manager, Zhou An'an wanted him to take a good rest.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look at two or three cities in this province and the nearby Jiangsu province, so as not to delay the work at the headquarters. Besides, with Mr. Gu watching over the headquarters, there won't be any mistakes. Moreover, the investigation team of the marketing department I am not at ease when such a problem happened a few days ago, word of mouth is the lifeblood of our company."

   Wang Rong has his own opinion on this point.

  Although he took the time to go to several related majors to study and recharge, he still lacks management experience and needs to strengthen his overall view.

Moreover, on the inspection team of the marketing department, some staff previously colluded with the franchisees of Hong Kong Kee, tacitly allowed the franchisees of Hong Kong Kee to outsource the operation to other people, and privately resold the raw materials sent to the franchisees of Hong Kong Kee by the headquarters, amounting to more than 100,000 yuan .

  Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would develop for a long time, and it would be a big blow to the reputation of Hong Kong Kee and even Qinglan Tea.

   Therefore, Wang Rong restarted the initiative to lead a team to spot check franchisees and directly-operated stores, so as to prevent the people below from messing around.

   "That's right, but you have arranged such a dense itinerary, are you sure you are not looking for a chance to be alone with your first love?"

   Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhou Anan asked jokingly.

   "What are you talking about, how can you insult people's innocence casually?"

  Hearing what his high school classmates said, Wang Rong asked excitedly.

  Since the last class reunion in his hometown, Wang Rong felt that he and Xu Wenwen were discovered by the other party, and he has been preparing how to deal with the other party.

   Now, the other party finally spoke out, and Wang Rong also said the words he had prepared for a long time, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

   "Okay, I don't care what your arrangements are, I just hope you don't let down your current girlfriend."

  Did not expose the rebuttal of his high school classmate Jin Yuqi, Zhou Anan said with deep emotion.

  He himself is not clean, and he is not qualified to condemn others, but he just doesn't want his elementary school classmates to miss the girl who can spend his life.

  That so-called first love was just a passer-by after all.

"I will."

   Seeing that the other party didn't criticize him, thinking of his girlfriend, Wang Rong's expression was a little downcast, and all the remarks he had prepared were useless.

   It is true that the opponent does not play cards according to common sense.

   "Okay, don't be tired, pay more attention to rest, I still need you to take care of Qing Lan's big business."

   stood up and patted Wang Rong on the shoulder, Zhou Anan didn't say much, and ended today's conversation.

   Next, he was going to meet the head of a certain big family who wanted to be his brother-in-law, so he had to recharge his batteries first.

   Thanks to 9999rose and Xiangshui Chuyun for their rewards
