Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 619 Scolding Shen Jinglan

Because of Song Wan, the originally scheduled telephone conference was cancelled.

Luo Yang can arrange the entire afternoon as he pleases.

So after lunch, he went directly to Xuhui.

During the morning board meeting, Shen Jinglan sent him a message inviting him to inspect the progress of the club's renovation.

It happened that Jiang Wen was also studying with her during this period, so Luo Yang decided to go over and take a look in the afternoon.

"Luo Yang, you're here!"

The moment Jiang Wen saw Luo Yang appear, she ran to his side and happily held his arm.

She didn't know that Luo Yang stayed in a hotel last night, and she thought that Luo Yang had just returned to the Magic City this morning.

"Mr. Luo, good afternoon."

Shen Jinglan reported her work in an orderly manner. "The renovation of the club is progressing quite fast. The flooring of the third floor has already started. It will be completed by the end of next month at the latest."

For decoration like this, it is usually done from top to bottom to avoid secondary damage.

"Just report these things directly over the phone."

Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "You asked me to come here for inspection, not to check the quality of the project, right?"

If he is quite proficient in civil engineering projects, he only has a vague understanding of decoration.

“Looking at the construction progress is one thing.”

Shen Jinglan said a little embarrassedly: "Boss Luo, I sent you a message to invite you here mainly to report one thing: the budget is not enough!"

"what?"

Luo Yang had been planning to chat with Jiang Wen, but when he heard the news, he was immediately surprised.

"5000 million is not enough?"

"The renovation did not exceed the budget, because the total price was already signed in the contract."

Shen Jinglan reported everything in detail: "There was a problem with the supplier. After negotiation, the total cost is about 15% higher than the original price. They are obviously bullying me because I don't know anything about it."

A high-end private club, high-end in every aspect, including drinks, food, cigars and other supplies
Without quality assurance and stable-price supply channels, such a club cannot be supported at all.

"I don't know how to bully you."

Luo Yang asked with a puzzled look: "How did you come to this conclusion?"

“The quotations from a small number of overlapping suppliers were inconsistent, and I discovered this after comparing them!”

"A small amount of overlap?"

Luo Yang was even more surprised: "There should be two or three suppliers in each category, so that it is convenient to compare the supply prices. This is the principle of procurement. How come there are only a few overlaps in your case?"

".Most of the suppliers were recommended to me by Mr. Zhang!"

Shen Jinglan said with a guilty look on her face: "I only found a small part of it myself. I didn't expect that the final result would be like this. Mr. Luo, it's my lack of ability that messed this up. Now I can only ask you for help!"

"What is the relationship between Zhang Weilun and me? Don't you know?"

Luo Yang immediately glared at Shen Jinglan and said, "Any company has the most basic bidding principles. Do you still need me to teach you this?"

Shen Jinglan became more and more miserable.

It seems that my previous success in college was just an illusion. After actually entering the business world, I realized my limited abilities.

But the guy standing opposite me seems to have not graduated yet.

Jiang Wen wanted to say a few good words for Shen Jinglan.

But everything Luo Yang said made sense, and she was unable to interrupt for a moment. She could only give Shen Jinglan a helpless look.

The eye contact between the two women did not escape Luo Yang's notice.

Thinking that Shen Jinglan had only graduated for a few years and had been rotating in a film and television company before, she had little experience in business management and some things could not be blamed entirely on her, so he softened his tone.

"The Magic City is so big, and there are two provinces, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, around it. Even if you issue a business invitation notice, you can gather enough suppliers."

Luo Yang said in a teaching tone: "At worst, you can go directly to the relevant business management company to solve this problem. Why do you need to ask me for help?"

Shen Jinglan wanted to take notes immediately.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "There is still some time before the club opens. If I do it according to your instructions now, it should still be in time."

"You are close to Zhang Weilun?"

Three years ago, Luo Yang worked as the marketing director at Jincheng Real Estate and met Shen Jinglan because of the printing business.

Now we are involved in the planning and establishment of a business club, the profits will be a hundred times greater than before.

People's hearts are changeable.

Business skills may still need to be developed, but when it comes to understanding a man’s mind, it’s instinct.

In this regard, Shen Jinglan is quite capable.

"You originally asked me to consult Mr. Zhang on the establishment of the club. He did help me a lot at first, so I let my guard down."

She immediately explained, "Although I am not very capable, I know who the financial sponsor is. I have only had contact with Zhang Weilun regarding the club, so there is no question of whether we are close or not. However, those suppliers promised benefits during the business negotiations. Because of this, the price exceeded the target by a lot. I know the pros and cons, so I ask you to come and give me some guidance."

"Yeah yeah."

Jiang Wen finally found an opportunity.

"Sister Jinglan mentioned this to me last weekend. She said that the suppliers promised very generous kickbacks. She was worried and wanted to report this to you after you returned to Shanghai. This is true."

She also spoke up for Shen Jinglan; "Sister Jinglan may be lacking in ability, but she is absolutely loyal to you."

With Jiang Wen's endorsement, Luo Yang's suspicion was greatly reduced.

"How is the preparation team going?"

Luo Yang changed the previous topic: "How many people have been recruited by the club's management?"

"As of last week, we have signed intentional contracts with four middle-level managers, and we are also preparing to start recruiting grassroots employees."

Shen Jinglan reported everything in detail: "It's just that it's hard to find a general manager for the club. I haven't found a satisfactory candidate yet. Zhang Weilun did recommend one to me, but I didn't dare to accept it."

"Now you are clear-headed!"

Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "It's hard to find a general manager. You won't hand it over to a recruitment company. Don't you have this basic common sense?"

"It was already going over budget, and the recruitment agency's fees were high. I..."

“I can’t bear to spend what I should spend, but I don’t know how to save what I should save.”

Luo Yang almost laughed out of anger. He pointed at her and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. If you had hired a person in charge through a recruitment company earlier, maybe this person could have helped you solve the supplier issue!"

A person with experience in managing high-end commercial clubs must have no shortage of resources in this area. Shen Jinglan was stunned when she heard this.

After a moment, an expression of wanting to cry but having no tears appeared on his face, and he wished he could cover his face with his hands.

Just as Luo Yang said just now, if he had been willing to spend money at the beginning and hired a professional person in charge through a headhunting company, the supplier issue might have been resolved long ago.

Originally thinking about saving money, it actually caused trouble!
Now Jiang Wen couldn't speak for her.

"You really need some hard training. This is my fault. I arranged for you to rotate in the film and television company at the beginning, but it didn't actually help you grow."

If she continued to be scolded, Shen Jinglan might even break down.

Luo Yang could only slow down and comfort her, "We'll entrust a headhunting company to recruit professional managers first. The position of assistant general manager promised to you before will still be valid, but you have to have some sense in your mind and seize the time to grow up."

Shen Jinglan nodded quickly.

Jiang Wen stuck out her tongue and winked at Shen Jinglan.

"The same to you!"

Luo Yang suddenly turned to look at Jiang Wen who was holding his arm. "Don't think that you are great just because you have interned at a beauty salon for a few months. Your business ability is not as good as hers. We will start planning to build a chain of beauty salons by the end of the year. You should learn from her and don't make the same mistake as her!"

"Oh oh oh."

Jiang Wen acted obediently: "Boss Luo, I understand. When I was planning to build a chain of beauty salons, I immediately asked a recruitment agency to find qualified professional managers, and then instructed the professional managers to implement your plan. I was definitely not blindly confident!"

Good man, these remarks are directed at the summary just now.

"You."

Luo Yang tapped her nose and said, "Don't be so frivolous with me. Think it through. If you just want a comfortable future, you don't have to run a medical beauty chain. But if you want to achieve something for yourself, then you have to do your job well."

Jiang Wen shook Luo Yang's arm: "I know, you want me to be self-reliant. I will try my best first. If it doesn't work, I will stop in time. Anyway, you are supporting me, there is nothing to worry about."

Luo Yang was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This girl really hasn't changed her original intention!

Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere, Jiang Wen took Luo Yang to inspect the construction site.

I walked up and down the stairs. It didn't take much time to check a small club of several thousand square meters, and I finished it quickly.

"Where do we go next?"

After leaving the renovation site, Jiang Wen took Luo Yang's arm again: "Go home or go shopping?"

"Let's go back."

Song Wan will have feedback later. If I accompany Jiang Wen shopping now, we will definitely eat dinner outside together, and maybe even drag Jiang Xue out with us later.

Luo Yang thought for a while and decided to go back.

"You come too. I'll help you sort out the rest later."

He nodded at Shen Jinglan and said, "If you have any questions in the future, call me in time. As subordinates, they want to hang around in front of the boss every day. Even if some things can be solved, they still have to report to the boss in various ways. You, on the other hand, only think of reporting when things can't be pushed forward."

Just when I had recovered a little, I almost collapsed again.

Shen Jinglan lowered her head with her chin almost buried in her chest.

Jiang Wen didn't have any objection, because she went shopping with her sister or Shen Jinglan many times, so this time was not a big deal.

On the contrary, the idea of ​​going home is more in line with her thoughts.

The club was in Xuhui. It took less than half an hour to get home, and the three of them were soon sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Boss Luo, how do you manage your interactions with Zhang Weilun in the future?"

Although she is not good at business management, Shen Jinglan still has high emotional intelligence. While Jiang Wen was helping Luo Yang make tea, she asked her own questions before he opened his mouth, hoping to save Luo Yang's opinion of her.

"If he doesn't call you, don't contact him."

Luo Yang pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, I am now considering how to measure the relationship between him and me. When I set up this business club, it was mainly to entertain the leading figures of the Yang City Chamber of Commerce. Now it seems that this is still secondary. With the expansion of my business, the role of this club will be more and more inclined to entertain my own company, or even my own private entertainment."

Shen Jinglan listened quietly to Luo Yang's narration and was secretly surprised.

I remember that when we were playing golf at the Tomson Golf Course, Luo Yang and Zhang Weilun seemed to have a very harmonious relationship.

She considers herself to be very good at observing interpersonal relationships.

Shen Jinglan did not misunderstand. At that time, Luo Yang did intend to have a deeper relationship with Zhang Weilun.

But some performances last night overturned his thoughts.

In the second half of the party at the Yanhuang Business Club, Zhang Weilun was too enthusiastic towards Jiang Tao, and Luo Yang actually felt very uncomfortable.

Now that I think about it, whether it is appropriate to jointly establish a game company remains to be considered.

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things.

"Regarding the difficulties encountered in the preparation and establishment of the business club, please summarize them to me all at once."

After Luo Yang answered Shen Jinglan's question, he immediately took the initiative in the conversation: "While I have time this afternoon, I will help you sort it out one by one."

"The supplier problem, the club manager selection problem, and the budget overrun problem are actually all related. After your guidance, I now know how to solve them."

She has been in charge of this project, so she is fully aware of the difficulties encountered by the project.

Without thinking for long, Shen Jinglan listed them one by one.

"Besides that, there are two other things."

She looked at Luo Yang and said, "The current positioning of this business club is internal reception. I have been thinking that if it is just like this, the club will suffer huge losses every year, so I was thinking about how to make up for it from other places. Now that you have proposed a change in direction, my previous thoughts have become more urgent. Mr. Luo, how can we run a high-end business club well?"

"It's too early for you to ask this question now."

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "Whether the club is profitable or loss-making, and how to operate it better, this is the responsibility of the person in charge, or my responsibility. Your main task now is to learn from them instead of thinking about these things."

The operation of a high-end business club is no longer a matter of marketing strategy, it also involves issues of personal connections and circles.

This is far from what Shen Jinglan should be thinking about now.

"Okay, I get it now!"

Although Luo Yang did not explain the specific reason, she adjusted her mentality in time and obediently let the matter go.

"What's the other difficulty?"

Luo Yang took the initiative to ask: "It can't be this kind of problem, right? If it is, don't say it out loud."

"No, the other difficulty is not of this kind."

When Shen Jinglan said this, she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
