Our Rise Era

Chapter 18: Blazing Fire! (Part )
11 month 18 day.

early morning.

There was a light rain in Taifeng County.

In the morning after the light rain, the weather started to get colder and colder.

The [Gemei Toys] not far away was completely emptied out overnight yesterday, and the next day an advertising company pulled in a breakfast shop sign and hung it up.

While Fatty Yuan was settling the wages for the advertising company and chatting with the workers, he heard a piece of news.

Actually...

Not only did [Gemei Toys] go bankrupt, but even the director of the toy factory in the neighboring city, Jin Rongshun, lost tens of millions due to stock speculation. He could no longer bear the loss and fled overnight. The workers who were owed a large amount of wages are now clamoring and surrounding the management department to demand their wages. There is a huge backlog of various toys in the factory, which cannot be cleared out at all.

[Stock speculation is harmful]!
On the way back to the store after getting paid, Fatty Yuan was thinking about the stock market crash that almost ruined everything he had a few months ago.

The more I think about it, the more scared I become. Fortunately, I pulled back in the end, otherwise it would have been terrible!

and so……

In life, we must keep our feet on the ground and move forward step by step!

"Brother Zhang, you're back? This is..."

"Hello, my name is Lu Wei, I'm Mr. Lu's grandson, and I work in animation..."

"Ah, hello, hello, my name is Yuan Wang, and I'm a shareholder of [ZY]..."

"..."

As soon as Fatty Yuan walked into the store, he saw a young man holding a drawing board and drawing something in the store.

The young man was so thin that his bones were visible. Fatty Yuan was very careful when shaking hands with him, fearing that he would break his bones if he used a little force.

After introducing each other, at Zhang Yang's signal, Fatty Yuan followed Zhang Yang into the lounge.

Then I heard a shocking news.

Zhang Yang and Lu Wei are planning to set up an animation company called [YW Animation]. Now Lu Wei is writing the script for the sixth episode of the company's first work, the upcoming animation "Pope Immortal". The story of the sixth episode takes place in this [ZY] grocery store.

After hearing the news, Fatty Yuan felt his ears buzzing. It was not until Zhang Yang walked out of the grocery store and disappeared for a long time that Fatty Yuan was still immersed in [YW Animation]...

This cross-industry...

Do you have to cross it so hard?

and many more!

What does this YW mean?
Impotence?
After Lu Wei finished drawing the script, he looked up and down at Fatty Yuan with a grin on his face, and stared at Fatty Yuan's butt in a slightly obscene manner: "Mr. Yuan, can I draw it into episode 6 for you? The owner who was tortured to death by the protagonist Popeye and the villain Pluto, but was terrified to protect the artworks in the store..."

"???"

What the hell?
Looking at Lu Wei's increasingly weird gaze, Fatty Yuan's anus suddenly tightened for some reason.

This guy, I hope he doesn’t have any other hobbies, right?
..........................................

noon.

The weather is slightly overcast.

An autumn breeze blew, and a few yellow leaves fell.

In the wind, [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.] looks a little bleak at this moment.

Zheng Guodong got out of the car and looked at the sign silently.

In the morning, he heard some sad news.

[Maixiang Instant Noodles], which had once started out together with them, was also acquired by [Xinding Holdings Co., Ltd.] for RMB 3500 million last night.

From an authentic domestic brand, it officially became a Japanese brand.

Mr. Lei from [Maixiang Instant Noodles] just called him and sounded very sad.

“We live in desperate times…”

"perhaps……"

"There's nothing wrong with selling yourself like a dog and getting some shares..."

"That's good. I don't have to worry about a few packs of instant noodles all day long, and I don't have to be busy all day long and get occupational diseases..."

"..."

After saying this, Mr. Lei hung up the phone.

Zheng Guodong never thought that Mr. Lei, who had always been generous and fearless, would say such sad words at this moment.

I spoke to Mr. Lei on the phone this morning, and he kept saying that they would focus on taking care of old employees...

At noon, Zheng Guodong heard the news that [Maixiang Instant Noodles] had officially changed its name and was listed under [Master Kong], becoming a branch of the other party.

From now on, I’m afraid you will never see the brand of [Maixiang Instant Noodles] on the market again.

When I think of this...

Zheng Guodong was a little depressed. He silently lowered his head and looked at the [Taifeng TV] agreement in his hand.

The local TV station itself did not have any substantial pillar animation. Zheng Guodong took his work to find the director of Taifeng TV Station. After watching a few episodes of "Popetta", he heard the words "free broadcast" and immediately held a meeting for nearly half an hour. After the meeting, the director was very enthusiastic about Zheng Guodong and had no doubts about the terms. However, the other party had a request, that is, "Taifeng TV Station" should focus on broadcasting the animation "Popetta" by introducing it. At the same time, he also enthusiastically stated that he would ask the county for 10,000 yuan to support the subsequent creation of "Popetta". There was only one core condition, that is, the future creation of "Popetta" needed to bring in some elements of Taifeng County, and the company of the producer of "Popetta" could be established in Taifeng County. If there are subsequent works, they can also cooperate...

These were not problems in the first place. Zheng Guodong called Zhang Yang, and after preliminary negotiations between the parties, the two parties signed the contract.

Just as Zheng Guodong was thinking about what to do next...

Suddenly I heard a phone call.

"Boss Zheng, something bad has happened. Boss Zhang is burning the business department's documents!"

"what!"

When Zheng Guodong heard these words, he was struck by lightning!

Then he hurriedly followed the secretary to the business department of Zheng's Food Co., Ltd., but saw a large brazier burning downstairs in the business department.

The fire in the brazier was blazing and emitting a foul smell.

There were a lot of people surrounding the brazier, many of them were screaming, but they didn't dare to move forward.

Zheng Guodong ran over panting, only to see Zhang Yang flipping through some market research materials from the business department while frowning and throwing all the stacks of materials into the fire.

"Boss Zhang, what are you doing? What are you doing? Stop it now, Boss Zhang. Boss Zheng is coming over soon. Stop it now!"

"Boss Zhang, if you do that again, I'm going to call the police!"

"Mr. Zhang, this is the market research data from the marketing department. This data is from our company for more than ten years, or even decades. Are you...are you crazy?"

"Zhang Yang! I warn you, if you burn again, you will be held legally responsible!"

"..."

The fire in the brazier burned more and more vigorously. Zhou Bingkun, the only old man in the business department, was yelling at Zhang Yang anxiously at this moment.

However, Zhang Yang had a calm expression, as if he didn't hear the sound at all. He continued to flip through the information quickly and threw the [Market Research Report] away like trash.

When Zhou Bingkun looked at the documents...

He anxiously took out his cell phone to call the police.

Just after calling the police, he suddenly saw Zheng Guodong coming over. He immediately ran over as if he had found his savior.

"Boss Zheng, did you recruit this young man? He is a nuisance. This morning, when he walked into the office, he didn't even say hello to me. He just sat in the position of general manager of business and asked me to bring all the [Market Survey Forms] from these years..."

"I saw that this person was very aggressive, so I called you. I knew that he was a reformer you invited, so I just did what you asked..."

"I know that a new official will start with three fires, but!"

"This fire is too much!"

"But, but, after looking at it for more than an hour, this person didn't even say hello to me. He walked over here with a pile of information and even lit a fire without my consent. He wanted to burn it..."

"I want to stop him, but I can't. This young man is really strong. I really have no choice. Mr. Zheng, are you here to reform us, or to completely destroy our [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.]? These are all market research data. They are the hard work of our older generation after working hard in the market..."

"..."

Zheng Guodong saw Zhou Bingkun staggering towards him and excitedly pointed at the fire in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Guodong was shocked in his heart, but he remained calm. After calming Zhou Bingkun down, he walked towards Zhang Yang.

When Zhang Yang saw General Zheng coming, the expression on his face not only did not change, but became even more serious.

In front of Zheng Guodong, a thick report was thrown into the brazier again.

After the flames burned, he stood up and pushed his glasses. His expression was more serious and indifferent than ever before.

Faintly, this young man exuded a resolute aura that even Zheng Guodong was unfamiliar with!
"A few days ago, Mr. Zheng came to my [ZY] store and invited me to come out of retirement. I refused at first because I was very busy..."

"Besides, I can't just go out to ask anyone to come out. I need to see sincerity..."

"It turns out that even though I rejected him several times, Mr. Zheng was indeed sincere enough. He stood in front of my shop for nearly five hours and bought our expensive artworks. He also talked to me about music and the future. He also talked to me about the current situation of the company for the whole night. He said that he was eager to recruit talents and hoped that I could come and help him. Mr. Zheng's son was also very sincere. He bought the artworks in our [ZY] and talked to me about art all night..."

“I am a very emotional person…”

"I thought about it for a long time, and finally I was infected by Mr. Zheng's emotions..."

“So, here I come!”

"..."

When Zheng Guodong heard this, his mind went blank.

Even though he was very professional in facial expression management, his eyes were still dull and his mouth was wide open!
When the hell did I visit him three times?

This person...

How come he seems like a different person, talking nonsense now?

Just when Zheng Guodong was in a trance...

Zheng Guodong saw a reporting car appear at the factory gate.

“Someone just contacted us [Taifeng TV] and said someone set a fire here?”

"..."

Then, the police car arrived...

Reporters came rushing over.

After seeing those reporters, Zheng Guodong's ears started buzzing even louder!

Zhang Yang seemed to have also seen this scene. His voice became even more excited and high-pitched. He grabbed the set of data reports and threw them into the fire.

Then, stare at Zheng Guodong!
"Boss Zheng, today, when I went to the business department of the company to look through the documents, do you know what I saw?"

"I saw perfunctory attitude, I saw laxity, I saw a world without fighting spirit and no future!"

“As a business unit, what is the most important thing?”

[Market research] is not only important, but also the most important thing! ”

"But, Mr. Zheng, guess what I saw?"

"I have seen every year's [market research] report from the millennium to 2007. Every sales data, every market research, every store feedback, all the data are fraudulent..."

"Until now, even now when our company is on the verge of falling apart, the data we publish is still going up and is still thriving!"

"What's the use of these?"

"What's the point? To whitewash Cathay Pacific?"

"If the business department of a company only passes good data to the boss through text, and all he sees is applause, then the company is finished!"

"If a company's business department only publishes data about its thriving business, without any in-depth market research or comprehensive evaluation to come up with data, then this business department is garbage!"

"Look at these..."

"Look at those..."

"These boxes look professional, but in fact they are all fake market data. If a company's marketing team can't even make the most basic market data real, then what's the point of having them?"

Zhang Yang's words became sharper and harsher, like a sword, piercing Zheng Guodong's heart!
"Mr. Zheng, I will not let you down. I also promise that from now on, I will lead our company to reform again! I hope you understand that every reform is full of blood and gore!"

"From now on, we will set up store suggestion boxes and customer food feedback boxes at [Zheng's Food Co., Ltd.]..."

“If you have any comments or suggestions about our food, please give us your feedback!”

"Besides..."

Zheng Guodong turned his head and watched Zhang Yang take out another box of data reports. Then, he threw all the data reports into the brazier.

Then, he saw Zhang Yang bringing in boxes of instant noodles...

"These instant noodles are from a bad batch that I received complaints about a few days ago..."

"Some instant noodles don't have seasoning packets, some don't meet the weight standards, and some are only half a pack..."

“Is this the attitude you should have towards your customers? Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhou, and everyone at [Zheng’s Food Co., Ltd.], let me ask you, is this the attitude a company should have?”

"From now on, Mr. Zheng, you are here too. Please help bear witness. If any bad batch of instant noodles is found on the market, we will pay three times the price. We will not tolerate it!"

"Burn all this batch of instant noodles!"

"Burn it!"

"..."
