My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan
Chapter 419 Mr. Chen, be careful.
The chairman looked gloomy, but he forced a smile and acted as if nothing was wrong as he led Wei Ming upstairs!
"President Wei, I'm so sorry, President Xu is attending a group video conference, so I had to come down to greet you!"
This was a way out, and the chairman quickly accepted it: "It's alright, I understand. I often have to temporarily delay the agenda because of national conferences!"
"But this should be over by now. I'll take you to his office!"
They're not even going to bother with the pretense. Who schedules a video conference at such a perfect time?
This was the cold reception President Wei had never encountered before. Even the most shrewd person couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment.
The assistant knocked on the door and pushed it open. "Mr. Xu, Mr. Wei from Jincheng Sports Group has arrived!"
This doesn't look like a meeting between the heads of two large corporations; it looks more like General Manager Wei is here to give a work report.
Wei Ming snorted coldly, but the chairman tugged at him, signaling him not to be reckless.
Upon entering the house, Xu Jun was quite enthusiastic!
"Mr. Wei, I'm so sorry, there was just an emergency meeting!"
He stepped forward and invited Mr. Wei to sit down, then instructed his assistant to brew some tea with his own tea leaves.
The two chatted for a while.
"A while ago, Mr. Xu made a big move in Shanghai, acquiring Huijin Plaza for 900 billion yuan, which shook the global business community!"
"Haha, it's all thanks to the group's strength; I'm just the one who spends the money!"
"When Mr. Xu visits Shanghai in the future, I sincerely invite you to come to the company to provide guidance!"
"Mr. Wei, you're too kind. I'll definitely visit you when I have the chance!"
The two inquired about the development of each other's companies.
Jincheng Sports had sales of 303 billion yuan and net profit of 21 billion yuan last year, with a profit margin of only 7%.
This is mainly due to the increasingly severe retail environment in the past two years. This year, the company plans to adjust its channel layout, close some low-output stores and some stores with significant losses, with the goal of increasing the profit margin to over 10%.
Xu Jun also gave a brief introduction to the development of Junxiao Commercial Management!
The group's annual sales target is 200 billion yuan, with rental income around 2000 billion yuan.
This goal startled General Wei, who thought Xu Jun was bragging. How could this be possible?
He didn't know that Xu Jun had included Hengyuan Plaza, as well as the 40 Junxiao Plazas and 10 Junwu Plazas that were scheduled to open in the second half of the year.
It would be far from enough to achieve this through current business projects alone, but since this involves trade secrets, I certainly won't explain it!
The two then exchanged views on current business development, and they found themselves quite compatible in this area.
What gave General Manager Wei a headache was that every time he tried to steer the conversation toward cooperation between the two parties, Xu Jun would jokingly change the subject!
He lowered his head and took a sip of water when he suddenly heard Xu Jun slap his thigh and say, "Oh dear, I forgot that General Manager Xu asked me to give a quarterly work summary report this afternoon!"
"Mr. Wei, I'm so sorry about today. I had planned to have dinner with you tonight, but now I have to apologize!"
Wei Ming was completely bewildered. What was this all about?
President Wei chuckled awkwardly. In all his years in the business world, he had never been treated so poorly before, only when he first entered the industry!
"I understand, Mr. Xu. Work is important. Shall we discuss our cooperation one last time?"
Xu Jun laughed and said, "We can leave the regional discussions to the regional offices. You and I can just talk about the general direction. If we at our level talk about specific projects, wouldn't that be exhausting?"
“I see that you all have a person in charge in your area, so let them handle things directly. You and I don’t need to get involved. I’m sure they can handle it well!”
"Mr. Wei, it's too late here. I'm so sorry about today. I'll invite you next time and offer you a slap on the wrist as an apology!"
Leaving Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center
Wei Ming asked, "What does this mean? Does he agree to cooperate, or is he simply ignoring the matter?"
The chairman frowned and said, "It's not optimistic. Let's talk to each region first. I've also added his contact information. We'll see what to do next. But this matter is too strange. I think Xu Jun is a very shrewd person. He has no reason or motive to do this."
There must be something we've overlooked. Time is running out, so think carefully about what else might have gone wrong. It would be best to ask someone to inquire within Junxiao Commercial Management!
"Uncle, we ordered dinner tonight, but they're not coming. Should we go by ourselves?"
"I'm not going. I can't eat. Take me to the high-speed rail station. I'll take the high-speed rail back to Shanghai!"
If this matter isn't handled properly, he won't be able to explain it to the board of directors; the losses will be too great. The most important thing now is to find out where the problem lies.
He didn't know Xu Jun well, but someone who could become the chairman of such a large group wouldn't be so disregardful of etiquette. He needed to figure out what was going on here!
After seeing off General Manager Wei and his group, Xu Jun scratched his head in his office.
From a business cooperation perspective, he should have warmly entertained President Wei, but his nephew was too reckless. Junxiao Group and Jincheng Sports will never have the opportunity to cooperate in this lifetime unless President Wei can quell President Chen's anger. But President Wei is at a level where it is difficult to meet President Chen. How can he quell the anger?
Dudu~
"Please come in!"
The assistant came in and said, "Chairman, we've received a large number of anonymous complaint letters in the headquarters' suggestion box!"
He put down his work, his expression grave, and asked, "Regarding which aspect?"
The assistant seemed somewhat hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he mustered his courage and said, "They're all complaints about General Manager Zhao. They say he's domineering and arrogant in Ningxi, has alienated various suppliers, and that he's abusing his position to inflate prices by acquiring local properties and collecting huge kickbacks."
"Alright, that's enough!"
The assistant thought the chairman would be furious and want a thorough investigation, since it involved a high-ranking official like General Manager Zhao, as well as a huge amount of money. If what the whistleblower said was true, that General Manager Zhao used local property acquisitions to collect kickbacks, that would be no small amount!
When Xu Jun called her to stop, she glanced at him and noticed that he seemed unable to suppress a laugh.
"Alright, you can leave now. Go and call General Manager Zhao over!"
The assistant hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, "Aren't we going to investigate this?"
He knew that the chairman had called General Manager Zhao to represent him because he trusted him completely, and he was about to tell General Manager Zhao about this.
Everyone else in the company might take advantage of their position to solicit bribes, but Zhao Hui would never do that, Xu Jun was absolutely certain of it!
If he really does that, it won't be me investigating him anymore; it will definitely be President Chen or President Xu who handles him. It seems like my influence isn't quite enough.
A short while later, Zhao Hui arrived.
Xu Jun smiled and asked him to sit down. "Have you offended someone in Ningxi recently?"
Zhao Hui didn't understand what he meant, but after Xu Jun relayed the story of the complaint, he couldn't help but laugh.
The other party is too naive. Even if they didn't have a relationship with President Chen, do you think they could take down a senior executive of a group in this way?
Of course, if there is real evidence, that would be a different story. How could using anonymous and fabricated charges possibly affect you?
"Peng Yu used this method before."
Zhao Hui smiled and said, then a thought suddenly struck him when he mentioned Peng Yu: "Could it be Wang Lun?"
Currently in Ningxi, it seems that only he or Jincheng Sports have the motive to do this. It doesn't matter which one it is, I will attack them indiscriminately anyway.
This time, I came to headquarters and reached a consensus with Xu Jun. I will also go up to see General Manager Chen later to prepare the ammunition in the rear. Let's launch three major campaigns against Lu Tao and Wang Lun instead of engaging in small skirmishes with them!
"Wang Lun?"
Zhao Hui then recounted what had happened at Junwu Square yesterday.
Xu Jun nodded, "That's quite possible. It sounds like the way a spoiled brat takes revenge. But be careful, unlike Peng Yu, if this trick doesn't work, he'll probably come up with another one!"
"It's alright. No matter how incompetent I, Zhao Hui, am, I'm not afraid of a spoiled brat!"
After saying this, I couldn't help but think about my past. If I had met someone like Wang Lun before I met President Chen, he probably could have crushed me with a single finger, or even looked down on me.
Things are different now. With President Chen backing them up, Wansheng Group is nothing but a bunch of bumpkins!
Bai Lu was carried into the lounge by Chen Xiao in the afternoon for an afternoon session. Zhang Ziqian arranged for a driver to pick up the car and park it in the basement parking lot!
In her rest room, she secretly sighed, "Bai Lu's skin is so fair. Just that complexion alone makes her look so beautiful. The girls around President Chen are all so unique, and each one of them is breathtakingly beautiful!"
Because Zhao Hui was coming over later, Chen Xiao didn't take Bai Lu to review again. She drove her Bentley Continental GT back to the company!
When Bai Sheng got off work, he sat in his Mercedes-Benz S600 and couldn't take his eyes off the white Continental GT in front of him, which looked like a moving ice sculpture!
That car is so cool! I wonder which rich kid or heiress is driving it.
The white Bentley Continental remained in front of the Mercedes S600 the entire way until it entered the residential area.
"Huh, is this car from the same neighborhood?"
Bai Shengzhen was quite curious; he wondered which company it belonged to.
"Why is this car driving towards our own villa? Does it belong to one of our neighbors?"
Until I watched the car drive into my own garage!
"No way?"
Bai Sheng followed closely behind and saw his younger sister, Bai Lu, getting out of the car. He rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm not hallucinating!"
"Bai Lu!"
He got out of the car and called out. Bai Lu naturally saw her brother's car and turned to look at him!
Where did you get this car?
"Bought it? Where else could you have gotten it from?"
"I offered to buy you a Maserati, but you didn't like it, so you bought this car instead?"
"No, it was a gift from Chen Xiao. He doesn't usually give away cars as inexpensive as Maseratis!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the house, leaving Bai Sheng with a resentful look on his face!
I offered to give you a Maserati. What did I do wrong? I risked offending your sister-in-law by giving you a car. Was I wrong?
Why are you mocking me twice in one day?
-
This is Zhao Hui's first time in Chen Xiao's office!
He had imagined a luxurious layout for Mr. Chen's office, but when he actually arrived here, he realized how lacking his imagination was.
Are you satisfied with the new office environment?
Zhao Hui's office downstairs is not bad either. Although it can't compare to Chen Xiao's, it's no worse than the office of a typical listed company CEO!
"It's a bit of a waste, I don't usually spend much time here!"
He waved his hand and said, "It won't make a difference if you have an office. In the future, the three brands under Junxiao Commercial Management may all be spun off. Good luck, you'll be in charge of one of the brands, and I'll have to start calling you Chairman Zhao!"
Hearing Chen Xiao tease him, Zhao Hui laughed along. He believed that day was not far off, perhaps at the end of this year!
"I heard from General Manager Xu that Junxiao Commercial Management is about to make some big moves. Don't worry, we've prepared plenty of ammunition for you, so go ahead and do your thing!"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
"Brother Hui, you're being too polite again!"
I really can't thank myself for this; I have to thank Xiangjun. It's almost April, and Yinuo Group will start distributing dividends. I'm also waiting for Xiangjun to spend money on me, because there are still so many places where I need to spend money!
These days, the more money you have, the less you have!
Well, I should be more modest. What is this little bit of money I have? Compared to the wealth controlled by the Rothschild family, I am far behind.
This is only the first step in a long march!
"Mr. Chen, there's someone you need to be careful about!"
Oh?
Chen Xiao looked at him curiously.
“I ran into Wang Lun at Tianning Junwu Square. He was insulting you, so I taught him a lesson on the spot. He's been badmouthing you behind your back, and I'm worried he might pull some tricks!”
Laughing loudly!
He didn't take that spoiled brat seriously!
"I don't even care about his father, so what is he? It's nothing! Don't get so agitated next time. There are plenty of people who hate me, and plenty of people who talk behind my back. They talk about me because they can't do anything about me. If you have the guts to talk about me to my face, that's real skill!"
Zhao Hui chuckled twice, knowing that Wang Lun was just sharp-tongued and that if he actually met Chen Xiao, he probably wouldn't dare say a word.
But that's just how he is; when it comes to President Chen, nothing is trivial.
“Brother Hui, I’ve brought you into the business world, and now we can’t take care of our families at all. Your wife and two children are suffering!”
“What suffering? Now we have no worries about food and clothing. She is treated like a rich lady every day. You also arranged for the two children to receive the best education. I never dared to dream of such a life before!”
Not to mention that he now lives in a 7000 million yuan villa. Zhao Hui's father-in-law and mother-in-law are very caring towards him now. They used to not call for half a year, but now they call every few days to tell him to take care of his health and get more rest!
When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, distant relatives come calling even in the
Having experienced the lows, I now understand the full spectrum of life. Even though I am in a high position now, I will not lose myself to flattery or concern!
He knows where he came from and where he is going!
"That's good. If anything happens here, just tell me. Don't be shy!"
A son-in-law is like half a son. When Zhao Hui is not around, Zhao Hui has an inescapable responsibility for the Zhao family's affairs!
Zhao Hui understood what he meant and nodded heavily!
"I heard that Shanghai was assigned to you in this round of regional reorganization?"
Zhao Hui scratched his head. "I'm really afraid I won't do a good job!"
The Shanghai market itself isn't that great, but the Shanghai Huijin Plaza and the Hengyuan Plaza, which are still under negotiation, are two very important projects!
Even the value of any single project exceeds that of all of Junxiao Commercial Management's current projects.
"What's there to be afraid of? These are all my businesses. I'm not afraid at all. The businesses are all on track. We just need to keep pushing things along. There are people in charge of every step!"
The key to leadership is knowing how to use people. The more "incompetent" a leader appears, the more opportunities his subordinates will have to demonstrate their abilities. Only when the initiative of those below is brought into play can a healthy system be established and go further!
"For such a massive corporation, no matter how hard-working or outstanding one or two leaders are, it's useless!"
"I remind myself of the same thing. I've been learning from General Manager Xu and General Manager Xu, just so I won't embarrass you!"
He waved his hand and said, "What face would I lose? I've set up the stage for you. How well you sing is up to you. I'm just here to observe and see which role suits you best!"
Don't have any mental burdens, just go for it. For example, when you came back this time, you took the initiative to ask for "ammunition support" and adjusted your tactical direction according to the changing situation. I am very pleased because neither General Manager Xu nor General Manager Xu can understand the front line better than you. Only you can flexibly adjust tactics according to the situation!
In short, strategy cannot be changed, but tactics must be flexible and adaptable!
After discussing business, Chen Xiao inquired about the health of his elderly relatives. He hadn't been back for a while and was wondering if he should accompany Xiang Jun back soon.
Although he didn't go back, he didn't neglect the Zhao family at all. Xiangjun's grandmother is getting old, and Chen Xiao has arranged for dedicated medical staff to take care of her, a privilege usually reserved for high-ranking officials.
"Shall we have dinner here tonight?"
After thinking it over, Zhao Hui declined. Ningxi needed him to go back and take charge of the overall situation, and although the establishment of the region had not yet been announced, he already needed to do preliminary preparations.
It's quite pitiful, really. Since he took office, there has been a constant shortage of staff. Of course, all of this is because the group and he himself have developed too quickly!
It's impossible for his subordinates to grow so quickly. For example, Wu Fang was promoted from a store operations manager to a regional operations manager by Zhao Hui, which is a significant promotion. It's only been 3 months. It's impossible that he would be promoted to regional manager just because Zhao Hui was promoted to regional manager.
Even the regional vice president's qualifications are not enough; they need to hone their skills for a while longer!
Fortunately, although Zhao Hui will soon be in charge of the First War Zone, the regional headquarters will still be located in Tianning. This will give Wu Fang some time to grow. If Zhao Hui had set up the headquarters in Shanghai, the two of them would not be able to be together often.
Over time, Zhao Hui will inevitably have other capable assistants, which will change Wu Fang's development path!
After seeing Zhao Hui downstairs, I checked the time: 16:30 PM!
I haven't seen He Qing for a few days, so I'll take advantage of this time to go and see her!
28th Floor, Yunfeng Building
Wang Ping met with Li Xiao at her workstation to discuss the donation amount for the Hope Primary School in Wangjiagou again.
After He Qing finished speaking yesterday, this was the third time Wang Ping had approached Li Xiao, but the newly arrived deputy director of the comprehensive project department was very stubborn and insisted on his own opinion.
Wang Ping's good temper is almost gone. This is her third visit today, and we've been talking for 20 minutes with no result yet.
"President Li, I've finished giving my opinion on this matter. There are two more things I'd like to inform you about. First, when our charity foundation was established, President Chen set the tone: we are committed to genuinely helping people in need solve their urgent problems. We don't do superficial projects; if we're going to do something, we'll do it to the best of our ability, and we're not afraid to spend money."
Mr. Chen?
Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this!
"Secondly, this project has already been reported to Ms. He in advance, and she has already approved it. What's the point of us keeping it stuck here?"
"Which Mr. Chen are you referring to?"
Li Xiao's workstation was in a corner of the comprehensive project office. The two of them were sitting and talking, facing the entrance of the large office.
Just as Wang Ping was about to answer, she glanced unintentionally at the gate and immediately stood up!
Li Xiao was drawn to her movements and curiously looked towards the door. "Chen Xiao?"
Chen Xiao also glanced inside, but without stopping, he went straight to He Qing's office!
Wang Ping's heart pounded. Was President Chen about to visit He Qing and me?
What should I do? I'm not in He Qing's office. Am I missing a golden opportunity?
It's all Li Xiao's fault for wasting time. Otherwise, I might be chatting in He Qing's office right now, and President Chen coming over would have been a perfect double win.
"That's the Mr. Chen who just passed by!"
Li Xiao was startled, thinking to himself, "How does Wang Ping know what Chen Xiao was saying? Does she know Chen Xiao?"
I couldn't help but take a closer look at her. She was just as beautiful as Gao Yue, and she looked a bit like Lin Chi-ling from Taiwan when she was young.
The black business skirt is sharply tailored, with the hem just reaching the knees, retaining both a youthful lightness and an aura of maturity beyond her years.
She's a stunning beauty. Could she have an unusual relationship with Chen Xiao?
No, if that were the case, she wouldn't just be a deputy finance director.
Suddenly, she thought of He Qing, a woman whose charm surpassed Wang Ping's. She had become the general manager of such a large foundation at such a young age. Could it be that she and Chen Xiao were...
It should be, otherwise how could she have a similar status to Gao Yue, and didn't Gao Yue also have that kind of relationship with Chen Xiao?
Moreover, this foundation is a project that only involves spending money, so it needs to be managed by someone close to Chen Xiao. Thinking about all this, everything suddenly became clear!
How ridiculous that I used to think I would be in charge of this project?
"Mr. Wang, since Mr. Chen and Mr. He have both agreed, I naturally have no objections. I will sign immediately!"
A wise person knows when to yield. Li Xiao is stubborn, but not stupid. Even if President Chen had agreed earlier, she wouldn't have dared to block the matter!
She had always known that if President He really wanted to fire her, even Xu Wu wouldn't protect her.
"Thank you!"
Wang Ping didn't want to linger there. She thanked her after receiving the signed documents and hurried back to her workstation, placing her phone on the table, afraid of missing any messages.
Li Xiao was also feeling uneasy, wondering what Chen Xiao was going to do with President He.
Business?
As far as she knew, Xu Wu made all the decisions about Junxiao Group, and Chen Xiao was basically not involved. He would occasionally look at some data, but that was just for information. Xu Wu was the one who gave the orders.
What else could it be but official business?
She recalled the fierce battle she witnessed between him and Gao Yue on the 58th floor of the Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center that day, and the sounds of their fighting that she heard for three hours!
Is it the same in President He's office? (End of Chapter)
