A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 53 Trouble Comes Again

No. 203, Yingchunfang, Lane 13, Hubei Road.

Sun Yingjie informed his boss Gu Zhuxuan about the deal between Wang's Car Dealership and Changjiang Car Dealership, as well as Changjiang Car Dealership's large-scale "shareholder recruitment".

Gu Zhuxuan was lying on the bed, smoking a big opium. After listening to the report, he said lightly: "You are so smart. You are all veterans in the world, but you can't beat a spearhead kid."

What this means is that several car dealerships deliberately lowered the prices, allowing others to get a bargain.

Sun Yingjie said with a bitter face, "We didn't expect Chen Guangliang to play by his own rules. Everyone thought that since the head of Wang's Carriage Company was dead and his drivers were bullying the orphans and widows, they were all trying to bargain down the price and get a good deal. But who knew that the most unlikely buyer would intervene and actually make the deal happen?"

Gu Zhuxuan put down his opium, sat up and lectured his men, "You all say they are orphans and widows. If Chen Guangliang just scares them a little and offers a higher price, how can it be impossible to succeed in the acquisition?"

Sun Yingjie didn't dare to say a word.

Gu Zhuxuan asked again, "How many cars does Changjiang Car Dealership have?"

Sun Yingjie said: "It is said that there are already 170 or 180 cars!"

Gu Zhuxuan continued to ask: "How long has it been established?"

Sun Yingjie replied: "About five months."

Gu Zhuxuan suddenly felt a sense of threat. His business had only 1100 rickshaws with license plates. It was incredible that the other party had grown to such a scale in just five months.

Although the license plate is now fixed and difficult to obtain, the cooperation between Chen Guangliang and the Transportation Department gives him a better chance of obtaining the license plate.

Although his business has expanded to other industries, the car dealership business only accounts for half of his business, but after all, he made his fortune from this.

Perhaps sensing his boss's concern, Sun Yingjie said, "The Changjiang Motors' recent acquisition of new shareholders, coupled with their seizure of fifty cars from Wang's Motors, has already caused dissatisfaction among those dealerships. I believe they'll soon launch a campaign against the Changjiang Motors."

Gu Zhuxuan nodded and said, "It's good for young people to experience some setbacks."

He always wanted to win over Chen Guangliang to work for him, but Chen Guangliang didn't seem to want to get too close to him.

Take the recent real estate business for example. Chen Guangliang said he was a "consultant", but in fact he only came to Gu's house for dinner once. Apart from the same old things, he had no new suggestions, which made Gu Zhuxuan very annoyed.

Recently, Gu Zhuxuan also wanted to invest in real estate, but he was not sure whether to invest in property or land, which land is the most worthwhile to invest in, and whether there will be much growth in this market.

Therefore, he was still undecided and just bought some properties tentatively.

In a teahouse, several car dealership owners were gathering, including Han Yanbao, owner of Han's Car Dealership, Wu Guangpeng, owner of Chigo Car Dealership, and Feng Jingtao, owner of Feng's Car Dealership. There were five owners in total, all of whom were car dealerships that had quoted prices to Wang's Car Dealership this time.

Each of the five rickshaw companies is a medium-sized company with a rickshaw sales of a few hundred yuan, so they are all very concerned about the emergence of a strong competitor.

With the rise of Changjiang Motors, they began to feel dissatisfied.

First of all, every time the Changjiang Carriage Company got a rickshaw, they would announce "recruiting shareholders". Their car company would reduce the number of drivers, and even cause people to become uneasy, because the drivers all wanted to follow suit and "recruit shareholders".

Secondly, Changjiang Car Dealership's sudden high bid made their plans fail, and everyone was naturally very dissatisfied.

Finally, the rapid development of Changjiang Car Dealership made them feel jealous and dissatisfied.

To sum up, the reason why everyone gathered together this time was to think about whether they could give Changjiang Car Dealership a warning.

Han Yanbao said, "I've already inquired about it. Tomorrow is the launch ceremony of the Changjiang Motors' Yuyuan base. We might as well take the initiative and go to their door. We'll use courtesy first and then force."

Recently, when he asked everyone, he found out that his bid was the highest. Originally, Wang's 50 cars were about to be bought by him, but the Changjiang Car Dealership intervened.

Therefore, he now really wants to deal with Chen Guangliang, the newly emerged car dealership owner.

Feng Jingtao angrily said, "Why return a gift? Just tell him straight up: no more 'share offerings' or poaching our dealerships, which only creates chaos in the industry. No money means no money. Why bother with share offerings? If you don't have money, you should just focus on your business."

Although he was angry, he did not want to "start a war directly".

Wu Guangpeng sipped his tea and said, "If a young man compromises so easily, he's no longer young. In my opinion, we should teach him a lesson first, and then let him know where he went wrong!"

This statement was echoed by Han Yanbao and three other bosses.

Han Yanbao, the organizer of the group, said, "Since that's the case, the five of us must unite and teach Changjiang Car Dealership a lesson. Tomorrow will be the first day of the war."

Although Feng Jingtao was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to join since everyone agreed. After all, he did not want the "shareholder recruitment" to continue.

Wednesday, September 9. All good things.

The Changjiang Car Dealership (Jing'an Temple Road/Yuyuan Road) base was officially launched.

Although the entire base looks simple, it is neatly and cleanly arranged, which is pleasing to the eye.

This is related to the Changjiang Motors' traditional management system, namely the '3S Management' system proposed by Chen Guangliang - sorting (Seiri), reorganizing (Seiton), and cleaning (Seiso).

If you want to implement this management system, you must first make your employees willing to comply.

The rickshaw drivers of that era could barely make enough to eat, and it was generally difficult to get them to do more work; but the Changjiang Coach Company was different. It was nominally owned by everyone, and in theory everyone had the opportunity to participate in the shares (the vast majority of them held shares).

Therefore, the 3S management system can be implemented better.

In the rickshaw company's base, fifty rickshaws were neatly parked together, with three drivers standing in front of each rickshaw, and they all looked in good spirits.

These drivers also heard that the Yangtze River Coach Company had the opportunity to "recruit shareholders" and came here in admiration. In addition, the Yangtze River Coach Company's good systems such as "three shifts (changing shifts every ten days)" and "no rest system (no forced rest)" made the drivers in this concession yearn for it.

A long red carpet was laid in the middle, dividing the fifty cars on the left and right sides, making it look like a military parade.

We also hired 'Wang Kai Photo Studio' to take some 'opening' photos, which may be kept 'permanently (this is possible in the Internet age)'.

The two bosses, Chen Guangliang and Li Chao, were standing at the door ready to welcome today's distinguished guests, and there were expected to be quite a few of them.

"Boss, are you waiting for us? Haha!"

Han Yanbao, Wu Guangpeng, Feng Jingtao and other owners of five car dealerships came in one after another and shouted loudly.

Chen Guangliang had met these people once before. They were all medium-sized car dealership owners in the area.

"Welcome, Boss Han, Boss Wu, and Boss Feng! Come in!"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Chen Guangliang politely invited the five people to have a drink.

But Han Yanbao and others walked silently on the red carpet, looking at the rickshaws and drivers on both sides.

Han Yanbao said in a bad tone, "Boss Chen, Boss Li, are we the only five VIP guests today?"

look for a job?

Chen Guangliang said fearlessly, "You guys are a little early. Could it be that the five of you have come specially to congratulate us?"

Han Yanbao immediately said, "We're not here to congratulate you, but to inform you. You, the Changjiang Vehicle Company, can't keep poaching our customers. Every time you buy a rickshaw, you start offering to 'join the partnership.' You don't have any money, so why are you offering to join the partnership? This really annoys everyone!"

Chen Guangliang laughed and said, "Then everyone's hearts are too bad and too petty!"

You can not treat the coachman well, but you cannot stop him from showing kindness. How is this different from Cao Wang in later generations?

"you!"

Chen Guangliang didn't give the five men a chance to continue. "What do you mean by 'I'? If you five bosses are here for a drink, I'm more than welcome. If you're here to pick a fight, today's definitely not a good time. We might as well fight another day!"

Wu Guangpeng stepped forward and said, "Boss Chen is planning to go to war with our five car dealerships!"

Chen Guangliang said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of?"

Today, he is no longer a small-time actor, don't even think about making him give in easily!

Zhou Xinggao immediately stood up and said fiercely: "Yes, what are you afraid of!"

He had finally acquired a stake in a rickshaw and was about to live a good life. If anyone messed around at this time, he would kill them with all his might!
Seeing the firm attitude of Chen Guangliang and others, Han Yanbao and others also felt a little guilty, after all, today was their home game.

Han Yanbao sneered and said, "Then let's have a drink and see who comes to congratulate you today!"

They just couldn't believe that anyone could come to congratulate Chen Guangliang, a young man under 20 years old (his age was a secret, he was actually over 17 years old).

"Brother Zhou, please treat me well and don't lose face!"

"Okay, boss, please come in!"
