Back to the prime of life

Chapter 175 Inciting people
As agreed before, in order to do Lumang well, this small team coming to Jiangzhou University of Technology must maintain the most thorough communication.

And in order to do this.

Qin Jun suggested that no matter how late it was, everyone should hold a short meeting before finishing their work for the day.

Originally, this kind of thing would be best done in the morning, but young people have difficulty getting up, and it is even more difficult to do it in the morning, so it is scheduled for the evening.

But even at night, there are people who cannot come because of something.

So Qin Jun volunteered again and decided to summarize the content of the briefing in written form and then send it to their QQ group.

If anyone really can't attend, they can see it early the next morning.

This isn't difficult, but it does require persistence.

The night before going to Nanjing, it was already past 9 o'clock, but Lu Mang's brief meeting still took place.

The focus of today is that Lu Changge informed everyone that it is necessary to hire a manager.

With so many things at hand, no one else had any objections, and ultimately the task fell on Lu Changge's shoulders.

The next morning, Yin Anyan prepared ironed clothes for him and helped him tie his tie. Before leaving, he asked, "Give Qiuxue a good message for me."

"Why don't you go with me?" Lu Changge still wanted to take her with him. Apart from anything else, it would be very boring for him to go alone on the way.

However, Yin Anyan was reluctant to agree to him.

Lu Changge has the job of recording a program, and she also has her own things to do. Now everyone in the Lumang team seems to have exploded their little universe. Going back and forth, a day's time is also very precious.

"I invited Sister Xiaowei to come over and give lessons to me and Ai Mai today. I also want her to take a look at Lu Mang's newly established financial system. The time is already set, so why shouldn't I be here?"

"Okay then." Seeing how busy she was, Lu Changge couldn't help but sigh, "Because my thought caused such a big commotion, it made you all very nervous."

"No, I feel very fulfilled. Or it's just like what you said, a young and green man who is still passionate about work." Yin Anyan was joking, but he was not lying.

This matter really interested her.

Today, Lu Changge drove to Jinling and gave her a ride to the company. When they went downstairs, he said, "We talked about financing last night. You can also talk to Lin Xiaowei. If she doesn't have similar experience, ask her to introduce someone. I think we'll need them soon."

"Okay. We did cover this concept in class, so I have some idea of it. It just feels a little unreal. This financing, if it were to be publicized, would be worth a lot of money."

Lu Changge said: "We already have a lot of money in our account, more than 400 million?"

"That's where half the accounts payable are piled up."

Generally speaking, this amount of money can be held back, as many platform companies and retail businesses do. Lu Changge is no exception.

However, he felt that he should emphasize a financial principle from time to time, such as there must be enough money left in the account to pay outgoings, including payments to suppliers, employee compensation, etc.

Although expansion is important, he has never made up his mind about the future of Lumang Company.

Let’s talk about this later.

After dropping the person off, he drove onto the highway alone. Just one person, no one else. I guess there aren't many bosses like him.

There was no traffic on the road, and in order not to be late, he set off early, so he had plenty of time and didn't drive fast.

It was just a good opportunity for him to make a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone was Chen Xiaohe. He said that he had been too busy recently and hadn't seen this woman for about three months.

Of course, the two of them were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need for any formalities.

As soon as the phone rang, Chen Xiaohe said, "Boss Lu, there's no such thing as a visitor without a reason. You've made so much money that you've disappeared without a trace. You've called me, so there must be something, right? Tell me, is it good or bad?"

Lu Changge chuckled. "It's a good thing for me, and it should be a good thing for you too, but it depends on how you look at it." "Huh? What do you mean? Explain it clearly."

"Okay. Principal Chen, I want to recruit someone to manage Lumang."

“Who to dig?”

"Dig you."

Chen Xiaohe wanted him to be straightforward, but these two sentences were too straightforward and they silenced Chen Xiaohe.

"Are you kidding me?"

Lu Changge said: "Originally, I should have told you this in person, because it is not a trivial matter after all, and from the perspective of respect, just calling is not enough.

I understand all of this. However, I've known Principal Chen for a while now, and I know you're not one to be bothered by empty formalities. Also, with something as important as this, even if I told you face to face, you wouldn't agree immediately. You'd always need some time to think it over. So, after much deliberation, I've decided to tell you this first. I'll ask for your answer when I return from Jinling."

"Are you serious?" Chen Xiaohe put down the pen in her hand and rubbed her forehead. "Why?"

A very core issue.

The most important answer to this core question is actually because of Lu Changge’s memory of his previous life.

Chen Xiaohe is not only a successful private school principal, but also a manager of a chain enterprise, or a successful businessman.

It is said that human potential is unlimited. No one knows what will happen to those people in Lumang’s small team in the future. Perhaps someone among them will grow very quickly.

It's hard to say.

They are like playing cards that have not been turned over. No one knows what is hidden.

But Lu Changge turned over Chen Xiaohe's card.

Unfortunately, the reason cannot be revealed.

Lu Changge could only speak his own nonsense. "Of course there are several reasons, but the two most important ones are ability. Principal Chen has proven himself. The other is character. There's no need to elaborate on that. Someone with both ability and integrity is a talent worth pursuing no matter where he is."

Chen Xiaohe laughed, "But managing a school is completely different from managing your company."

"Isn't your school also privately run? There may be some differences, but it's still a business, and it's not a public welfare institution. And management is universal. You can manage such a large school, but not a company as large as ours? Principal Chen, I absolutely believe in your abilities."

My biggest uncertainty is whether this small temple in Lumang can accommodate a large Buddha like yours. If you're interested, would you allow me to brag a little?

Lu Changge said this, but he actually knew in his heart that after so much time had passed, he had already roughly figured out why Chen Xiaohe later left Jiangzhou Foreign Language School.

Otherwise he wouldn't have made this rash call.

"You say it."

The tone on the phone was not urgent at all, and it seemed like I had plenty of time to chat with him, so, this thing had a chance.

Lu Changge paused for thought, then began, "First of all, I must admit that Lumang is still a small shop. We've just started renting our only warehouse, and the technical staff are all newly hired. They're all crammed together and don't know what they're supposed to do. Even the front desk is run by whoever's free. But the prospects for e-commerce clothing are bright."

Just a few years ago, could you have imagined Taobao's transaction volume would exceed 1000 billion yuan? Just a few months ago, could you have imagined our daily sales exceeding 3 units? Furthermore, the number of internet users in China is less than 18 million today. As the economy develops and computers and mobile phones become increasingly ubiquitous, the number of internet users will continue to grow. I predict that the intersection of internet natives aged 28- and those upgrading their consumption in third- and fourth-tier cities will be the biggest gold mine over the next five years.

This is simply an industry trend. Speaking of Lumang's own advantages, while traditional brands still use a three-month production cycle for winter clothing, we have been able to capture 50% of the selling price of traditional clothing by integrating the production capacity of more than factories, and generate thousands of sales through Renren.

There's something I won't say publicly, lest others think I'm too arrogant. It's that the flood of the financial crisis can't reach us. And there's something I can only say to those who know me well: Principal Chen, is the Lu Changge you know someone who would easily settle for a small business?
In short, Lumang has a bright future. If you join now, you will not only give Lumang an opportunity, but also give yourself an opportunity."

The last half sentence is extremely inflammatory.

Chen Xiaohe was also convinced, "Do you do this kind of thing often?"
