Chapter 403: Sense of Crisis
The assistant and the secretary didn't see eye to eye, but the full-time driver arrived at the post first.
There was originally a driver named Zhao Jiang in Yang City, but he was a local, and Luo Yang subconsciously didn't want someone from his hometown to be his full-time driver.
According to his request, the group specially recruited a veteran named Tan Le.
Luo Yang interviewed the person personally. Tall and strong was not his main concern, but being taciturn was quite to his liking.
On Thursday afternoon, Luo Yang returned to Yang City in his Mercedes-Benz.
After getting off the highway, the car drove directly to Yuanfan Group in the development zone.
The preparatory team arrived a day in advance, and he was going to meet with the team members first.
Because Jiang Yuanshan was also a project investor, Luo Yang unceremoniously asked him for half a floor of the office building in Yuanfan Building as the preparatory team's base and temporary office area in Yang City.
After arriving at Yuanfan Group, Luo Yang went to the 12th floor first.
As soon as you walk out of the elevator door, you can see four large gold-plated characters on the acrylic plate: LightSail Wind Energy.
Yes, the wind power project has registered a company named Guangfan Wind Energy.
The industries in Shanghai have already started to integrate into groups, and in Yang City, he is also making advance preparations, such as naming.
Guangfan Electronics, Sunshine Electronics, Guangfan Wind Energy, Zhengyang Clothing. These company names either contain the word "Yang" or the word "Fan", or both.
The naming of future cultural and tourism projects will probably be no exception.
These industries will eventually be integrated into a Guangfan Group, which is what Luo Yang had already planned in his mind.
What is ready-made is convenient. When he walked into the company, he saw that the members of the preparatory team were already working normally.
I found Xie Jingzhang and discussed with him the signing for tomorrow. After chatting for about half an hour, he went to the 18th floor to meet his father-in-law.
"Dad, the signing ceremony tomorrow"
"We agreed before that I am only an investor in this project and will not be involved in management and operations. I will not steal your limelight at tomorrow's signing ceremony."
Jiang Yuanshan interrupted Luo Yang directly.
He smiled and said, "Fanfan is also holding shares on my behalf in the board of directors, so the position of chairman of the board of supervisors will be left to her."
"Then you must attend the groundbreaking ceremony next year."
Luo Yang scratched his head and said, "It's an investment of several hundred million. The shovel is too heavy. Without you, I'm afraid I can't hold it steady."
Jiang Yuanshan felt comfortable all over after hearing this little flattery.
He laughed and nodded in agreement.
"Your uncle's matter has been settled."
In a happy mood, Lao Jiang also gave Luo Yang some good news: "The city's meeting vote has passed, and we are just waiting for the organization to talk and the transfer order to come down."
Being a municipal-level cadre is another step towards the deputy section-level administrative level, and must be voted on by members of the Party Committee.
This is indeed good news.
"At the end of the year, Uncle San will definitely toast you with an extra glass of wine!"
Although he knew that this matter was unlikely to result in any accidents, Luo Yang was still extremely happy when he heard that it had actually happened.
Although I am happy, I am still rational.
At this juncture, it was definitely inappropriate for Luo Jianmin to invite Jiang Yuanshan alone.
But Luo Jianmin and Tang Hailin are ready-made matchmakers. They will go to the Jiang family to propose marriage at the end of the year, and a table will definitely be set up at that time.
Let's take this opportunity to toast Jiang Yuanshan with an extra glass of wine so that no one can say anything gossipy.
"Well, I've made some progress."
Jiang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.
"I heard that you asked the city for a piece of land to the east?"
"Well, 90 acres of residential land, floor area ratio , 80 per acre."
Luo Yang replied with a smile: "It's across the lake from the development zone, with mountains and water, it's a Feng Shui treasure land!"
This lake is not Taihu Lake, but a trumpet-shaped mouth before the Yangshi water system merges into Taihu Lake. To the north is the development zone and to the south is the hilly suburbs.
"80 per acre. How did you negotiate this price?"
Although the housing prices in Yang City are not high at this time, the price of a plot of land with this kind of floor area ratio must be around 200 million per acre.
"Dad, I am still soft-hearted."
"Oh, what do you say?"
"The city is currently recruiting investors to bring in the Wanda shopping mall. Do you know what the land price they are negotiating is?"
As Luo Yang spoke, he raised three fingers.
"30 per mu?"
"They are all about attracting investment. I don't think our project is worse than Wanda Commercial Plaza."
"Now that you mention it, the price you gave is quite reasonable."
"It's mainly because of selfish motives."
Luo Yang laughed at this time: "Dad, do you remember that I mentioned the villa to you before?"
Jiang Yuanshan was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he finally burst into laughter.
"Give me the planning scheme and design drawings for my review first!"
"Bring it along when you propose marriage."
Luo Yang pushed the teacup in front of Jiang Yuanshan and said, "It's one of my betrothal gifts."
Good guy, one of the betrothal gifts
Old Jiang showed a curious look on his face: "Since it's one, there must be two or three. Can you reveal it in advance?"
Luo Yang handed over a cigarette to keep him quiet: "Dad, the normal betrothal gifts are my parents' business. I prepared them separately. Are you going to leave this suspense to the end?"
Jiang Yuanshan glared at Luo Yang.
"Why, do I need to keep it secret too?"
"The only one in the family who needs to be kept secret is you!"
Luo Yang revealed the secret: "You may have told Fanfan about it at some point. Don't deny it. You definitely could have done it!"
Jiang Yuanshan: "."
The well-known daughter slave, who did things like offering treasures, is not an exaggeration. I won't talk about it anymore, it's not fun at all.
Luo Yang was kicked out of the office by Lao Jiang.
He was more than happy to do so. He could go to Su Yutong to see how the price reduction campaign that started last night was going.
Turning around and arriving at Zhengyang Group, before entering the office building, you can see the crowded and busy figures in the warehouse area.
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Help me call Manager Su over."
Since Su Yutong took over as the manager of the overseas marketing department, she has moved out of the director's office and now has her own office.
Sun Jingyu was not jealous either, the farther away the better.
She asked her administrative secretary Lin Mengmeng to call someone, and she followed him into the office to make tea for Luo Yang.
"I'll clear a workstation in the director's office later."
Luo Yang said, "Leave it to my full-time driver Tan Le."
"Chairman, Manager Su did not return to the dormitory last night. I wonder what he was doing in the office building."
Director Sun has many eyes and ears in Zhengyang Group and knows a little bit about every piece of news.
"Oh, I see."
The enthusiasm of the little spy cannot be dampened. Luo Yang needs such subordinates.
"Boss Shang is back. Accountant Jian has also called the board of directors' office and told them to let them know that you are back and that there is work to report."
Looking at the time, Luo Yang replied, "Please arrange a time. After I finish talking to Manager Su, let Director Jian come first, and President Shang will come last."
Accountant Jian was rehired. His biggest priority after get off work every day was to go home to see his grandson. It would be bad to delay his get off work.
But he and Shang Guozheng didn't care.
As they were talking, Su Yutong knocked on the door and came in.
His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, but he was not listless at all. Instead, he looked excited.
Looks like there's good news.
"Chairman, the sales of Xiangshe Madam have increased dramatically year-on-year. They are selling like crazy!"
Sure enough, Su Yutong started with explosive news: "According to previous sales statistics, the daily sales of Xiangshe Madam are only about 5000, and will exceed 12 on weekends or holidays. But after this price reduction, as of 8 noon today, the sales have exceeded !"
"The market is so big, and the current surge in data is just potential consumption."
Luo Yang said calmly: "You need to analyze the data to see which ones are impulse purchases and which ones are grabbing other people's market share."
Su Yutong was stunned for a moment.
How to analyze this data?
Seeing the puzzled looks from his subordinates, Luo Yang smacked his lips.
Damn, I forgot that there is no big data statistics on consumption habits.
As a leader, you must not show weakness.
"I heard that the e-commerce frontier is already using big data analysis to use the power of technology to identify customers' consumption habits and preferences."
He talked on and on, leaving Su Yutong stunned.
"Chairman, is this so magical?"
This was the first time she had heard of it, and as her curiosity grew, she diverted the topic to Luo Yang's direction.
Su Yutong said with a little excitement: "If we can have such a data platform support, it will be helpful to control consumer preferences and grasp consumer consumption habits."
Gee.
It will take several more years at least.
It seems that this algorithm was later used to the fullest extent on Toutiao.
Zhang Yiming.
Luo Yang was habitually distracted and couldn't help but daydream.
"Chairman?"
"Oh~~~"
Coming back to his senses, Luo Yang smiled and said, "I'm going to the capital next week and I'll look for resources in this area. I heard that Huaqing's research is progressing more deeply."
After saving the leader's face, the topic was brought back.
“How did other colleagues react?”
"Everyone is just watching the fun. At least up to now, there are only a few people following suit."
Su Yutong smiled and said, "Chairman, they probably thought we were having a promotion and that the price would return to normal in 24 hours. It might take two or three days for the entire sexy lingerie industry to react."
"How long can our inventory support the surge in sales?"
"Sales will definitely be abnormal in the first three or four days of the price cut. As other stores follow suit and cut prices, daily sales will definitely plummet."
Su Yutong also knew that once a price war started, everyone would follow suit and the market would slowly return to balance.
Xiangshe Lady, which started the price reduction trend, will definitely be able to seize a part of the market because of its early production capacity. It depends on how much it can retain in the end.
"Chairman, we are stocking up at three times the previous daily sales figures."
Su Yutong reported: "The previous production is enough for a month's sales, plus the production during this period, it will be enough for one and a half months!"
"Well, good job!"
Luo Yang praised generously while reminding: "But there is still a tough battle ahead, so be prepared for a mediocre harvest. If you have any difficulties or need support, feel free to call me. No matter what, this step has been taken, so grit your teeth and hold on!"
"Chairman, they can't outlast us!"
Su Yutong raised her head slightly: "Last night, the US office sent us a message that Amazon's order this time is at least 1000 million US dollars. They should contact us officially in the next two days. With the support of profits from overseas markets, we will not lose anyway."
"1000 million Mi Yuan?"
Luo Yang touched his chin and asked: "Can we keep up with the production capacity?"
There is a price war that has affected production capacity, and overseas orders have surged. Even if he works in two shifts, he is still worried about production capacity.
"Don't worry, Chairman."
Su Yutong said confidently: "The unit price of foreign trade goods is high, and the number of pieces is only one-third of that of domestic ones. Besides, it is not shipped all at once. Director Ma and I have calculated it repeatedly, and the current production capacity can keep up."
Although he said it in a decisive tone, Luo Yang still thought of Jiang Yuanshan's land.
It looks like the construction of the new plant will be accelerated.
