Chapter 483 Go back on your word?
The next afternoon, Luo Yang went to Songjiang to handle the procedures for changing the property certificate of the villa.
After getting the house key, Luo Yang called Cao Zixi and took her to see the house.
Rusty handrails, weed-covered yard, moldy interior walls. Even the exterior walls have some peeling off.
The community has been delivered for nearly three years, but the houses are still in an unfinished state.
"You don't have to buy the house over there."
After walking around, the two came to the third-floor attic. Standing in front of the aluminum alloy window, Luo Yang said to Cao Zixi, "Let's find a decoration company to design it. This place will be yours to live in from now on."
Luo Yang wasn't very interested and just took a quick look at the house plan.
Cao Zixi, on the other hand, had an excited expression on his face, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
When her life was the most comfortable, she only lived in a commercial apartment of more than 170 square meters, which barely qualified as a large flat.
Now Luo Yang gave her a large villa of three or four hundred square meters to live in. Although her name was not on the property certificate, Cao Zixi already felt very satisfied.
For her, the canary's cage became larger and more comfortable.
"I just checked the first floor. The living room is large enough. The empty space on the second floor doesn't need to be filled with panels. We don't need too many rooms here anyway."
Cao Zixi excitedly described his ideas for the new home beside Luo Yang: "We can dig a small pond in the yard, build some rockery, and raise a few koi in it. We can put a swing on the third-floor balcony, and after we build a sun room, we can also grow flowers."
She had no systematic concept, but her bits and pieces of fantasies were mixed together, and she wanted to cram them all into the decoration.
“Don’t interfere with the designer’s system ideas, just tell them the elements you want.”
Luo Yang smiled and said: "If I follow your idea completely, I think it will end up being a mess."
"Oh!"
Cao Zixi’s main character is obedient, and whatever Luo Yang says is what he does.
"come over."
Luo Yang stretched out his hand to hold the little woman's waist and put her in front of him: "Have you arranged the municipal greening business?"
"Well, it's arranged!"
Cao Zixi let the restless hands go into his clothes and replied in detail: "I have an uncle, a small foreman, who used to stay in his hometown to work. At the end of last year, I called him over and asked him to help me manage the work of the municipal greening company."
"Do you give him a salary or shares?"
The cold hands slowly woke up on the warm skin, and the fingers became flexible.
"I gave him 30% of the shares, and his salary is separate."
Cao Zixi's body began to weaken, and she leaned back into Luo Yang's arms. Not only her cheeks, but also her earlobes slowly turned red.
"30% of the shares. Yeah, about right."
Luo Yang said as he pressed his lips against the little woman's hot cheek, "Remember, you have to control the acceptance of projects and the settlement of project payments in your own hands, and you have to control the finances in your own hands."
If he doesn't do this, the municipal company in Cao Zixi's hands will become a hollow shell in one or two years at most.
Even if the person she asked for help was her own uncle.
Of course, if her uncle is capable and can get municipal greening projects from companies other than his connections, then that would be considered as his ability, and it would be understandable if he wanted to go out and work on his own.
"How is the Japanese food store going?"
"The catering company has been registered. The first store is in Songjiang. The renovation was completed at the end of last year and it is planned to open to the public next week."
The reason for registering a company is that we plan to open a chain store. This catering model is essentially not much different from a milk tea shop. Once we succeed in running one, the rest will be a matter of copying and pasting.
The general design style and business model of the first store were given by Luo Yang, and Cao Zixi only needed to copy it.
"Mr. Luo, I've been to the frozen food wholesale market. According to the current pricing, the profit is too high. Will there be any problems?"
But the food that costs 88 yuan per plate is sold at 128, 158, or yuan, with a profit of several hundred percent. Cao Zixi himself is unsure about it.
"Why are you calling me when no one is around?"
"Owner!"
The shameful name made the little woman's toes curl up in her high heels, and she wished she could dig out a hiding place under the soles of her feet.
Still less coaching.
"Don't worry, other Japanese food restaurants all have this price."
Luo Yang couldn't see the subtle changes in his shoes, so he continued to ask, "Didn't you go to other Japanese restaurants to try out the food before the New Year?"
"No, no!"
Cao Zixi was intermittent in his interactions with Luo Yang, but due to his age and body being too mature, he could not withstand any teasing. However, after chatting for a few minutes, his breathing became heavy and his body began to heat up.
The sentences spoken became intermittent.
"Snapped!"
Being mature is good. With just one movement or one look, you can know what to do and what posture to strike.
Who has the heart to talk about business at this moment?
Silence is better than words at this time.
More than an hour later, the two walked out of the unfinished villa.
Luo Yang first followed Cao Zixi to her home and took a shower before leaving.
It was almost four o'clock when we returned to the group headquarters.
"Boss, here are the minutes of today's meeting."
Yu Haiping immediately went to the office and reported to Luo Yang the content of the meeting at Kunpeng Technology.
"How's the registration for the air show in Berlin going?"
While taking the meeting minutes, Luo Yang asked about the registration. There will be an air show in Berlin, Germany in September this year. As far as I can remember, it was at this exhibition that DJI showcased its first generation of multi-rotor drone products to aviation enthusiasts around the world.
At this exhibition, DJI's first-generation multi-rotor drone equipped with a high-definition camera took off and landed vertically, stunning countless industry insiders and enthusiasts.
This multi-rotor drone is the first small vertical take-off and landing, integrated multi-rotor aircraft that can be used for aerial photography.
It not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has the core of DJI's professional flight control system - it integrates a long-life, stable flight power system, Naza-M+GPS multi-rotor flight control system, and is equipped with a customized radio remote control system.
"Mr. Chu has arranged a special docking working group."
Because Yu Haiping has visited Kunpeng Technology quite frequently, he is familiar with the situation there. When Luo Yang asked a question, he could answer it as soon as he opened his mouth.
"This working group is not only responsible for the registration for the air show, but also for a series of logistical work for the subsequent exhibition."
"Well, this special task force did a good job."
Luo Yang nodded and then turned his attention to the meeting minutes.
"Flight stability needs to be further improved. The new generation of power batteries will not be installed until early March. The clarity of the image transmission system has been improved."
Each technical indicator is described in an easy-to-understand way so that Luo Yang can understand it.
"What did the general assembly and integration department say?"
After a quick glance, Luo Yang looked up and said to Yu Haiping, "Can you produce a prototype that meets the exhibition requirements before July?"
Although the exhibition will not start until early September, Luo Yang believes that the final version of the prototype cannot be delayed until July.
Because whether it is sales in overseas markets or domestic markets, it takes time for production and preparation.
Besides, it is not known when DJI’s first application-level multi-rotor drone will be released to the market. If Kunpeng cannot keep up with the progress, it will be slow at every step!
"Boss, the commercial investigation company we hired is keeping a close eye on DJI."
Yu Haiping responded to Luo Yang: "Once there is news about the other party's new generation of products, we will receive the information as soon as possible."
Looking for a business investigation company is just to understand the other party's product development progress. If it is to steal the other party's core technology, it involves legal issues.
"We also have to pay attention to confidentiality on our side."
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "Don't just keep trying to find out about the other party. You might not even know that someone has robbed your home."
"Boss, don't worry. Our final assembly is in Yang City, so it's hard for others to predict it. Besides, the flight test base is in Sheshan, which is a restricted area. Without relevant procedures, it's difficult for others to get close."
Yu Haiping replied to Luo Yang confidently.
"It's hard to say. It depends on who has the lowest bottom line."
Luo Yang leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette and said quietly, "Never underestimate your opponent." Yu Haiping did not respond, because after this period of contact, he also realized that the competitive means his company used last year were not very bright, and it was taken the initiative to pursue from domestic to foreign markets.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Yang asked about tomorrow's schedule.
"There is a meeting at 2:00 this morning to discuss the group's work plan for the first half of the year. Mr. Song from the Investment Department has asked you to come to us from 3:00 to 3:30 this afternoon to report on the progress of the shared bike project. Mr. Tan from Guobao Films has asked you to come to us from 4:30 to : this afternoon to report on the script."
Yu Haiping opened the notebook in his hand and replied to Luo Yang according to the plan on it: "There is a business reception at 6:00 pm, hosted by the Minhang High-tech Zone Investment Promotion Office. The invitation letter was sent to the Director's Office on Monday."
The day is fully scheduled.
"High-tech Zone Investment Promotion Office?"
Luo Yang frowned: "It would be fine if this invitation letter was sent to Kunpeng Technology, why was it sent to the group?"
"Mr. Chu has also received an invitation letter."
Yu Haiping is worthy of being the group's steward, and he also has some understanding of the situation of the subsidiaries.
"The High-tech Zone Investment Promotion Office must be aware of the relationship between Kunpeng Technology and the Group. They would not invite only Mr. Chu and not you."
“I hope Kunpeng Technology will build a factory in Minhang High-tech Zone?”
Luo Yang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Since they can get the relevant information, don't they know that Deyang Electronics has been placed in Yang City?"
“It is not clear what the investment promotion office is thinking specifically.”
Yu Haiping didn't know the intention of the Investment Promotion Office, so he could only try to guess: "Perhaps they think Kunpeng Technology should build a research and development center in Minhang?"
"Concentrate all the R&D laboratories of several major systems together?"
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "This is not realistic. For example, the power battery must be placed in Yang City. There is no need for the two experimental groups at the school to move out. Even if we want to, the school may not agree."
Combining production and research is what the school needs.
"Forget it, I won't guess anymore. I'll know when I get there tomorrow night."
Without any clues, Luo Yang didn't want to guess blindly, so he said directly: "You can accompany me to the cocktail party tomorrow."
Yu Haiping immediately nodded in agreement.
As soon as they finished talking about this topic, Luo Yang's cell phone rang.
"Cong Shanshan?"
Luo Yang waved to Yu Haiping and answered the call.
"Boss, Dong Xing's appointment has been announced. He is the vice president of the Pudong branch."
"Really? Congratulations to President Dong."
When hearing the news, Luo Yang did not show any surprise in his expression or tone.
The rumor about Dong Xuan's promotion had already spread last year and was personally confirmed by Dong Xuan.
"Her phone must be very busy right now, so I won't join in the fun."
Luo Yang said calmly: "Wait ten days or half a month, I will treat you to a meal and help President Dong celebrate."
"Boss, I have something to report to you. Do you have time tonight?"
"Ok?"
When I first received the call, I thought it was just a message.
Now I see it in a more open-minded way, with another purpose.
"What can't be discussed over the phone that must be discussed in person?"
According to the agreement reached last year, Cong Shanshan should have submitted her resignation to the bank by now. In a sense, she is already Luo Yang's subordinate, and it is a bit unusual for her to want to meet her boss so openly.
"Boss, I have submitted my resignation."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, Cong Shanshan's voice came again: "But President Dong specifically called me into his office today to have a chat."
"Oh?"
Luo Yang remained calm: "What did you talk about specifically?"
"I want to report to you in person, boss, is that ok?"
Cong Shanshan spoke in a pleading tone on the phone.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yang said, "Go directly to Tomson First after get off work, and we'll meet and talk in the evening."
After saying this, he hung up the phone without waiting for Cong Shanshan to say anything else.
Gee.
Even though Cong Shanshan was vague on the phone, Luo Yang had a rough idea.
After seeing Cong Shanshan's resignation report, Dong Xuan must have tried to retain her and at the same time painted a rosy picture for her.
He even gave her a direct reward by promising to promote her.
"grass!"
Thinking of this, Luo Yang muttered something.
Then he took a deep puff of the cigarette.
The reason why he was depressed was that in order to get the land in Yang City, Luo Yang contacted Dong Xuan through Cong Shanshan and went through channels to raise funds. Grateful for the role played by Cong Shanshan, Luo Yang mentioned to Dong Xuan the matter of promoting her.
You should know that as a middleman, Dong Xuan received nearly 10 million yuan in agency fees for this matter.
But she only gave Cong Shanshan a sum of money at that time and did not agree to the promotion.
Now that I have submitted my resignation report, I will do this.
Furthermore, Cong Shanshan's current attitude was already somewhat ambiguous, and Luo Yang felt unhappy about it.
After taking two puffs of his cigarette and putting it out, he called Chu Jing in.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
"Has Cong Shanshan contacted you since the beginning of the year?"
"There was one contact."
Chu Jing told the truth: "Manager Cong said that you plan to set up a private asset management team and asked me if I am interested in leaving the board office and joining this team."
"How did you answer her?"
"Of course I refused."
Chu Jing blurted out: "I'm not stupid. I'm doing well in the director's office and I'm also your personal secretary. In a sense, there are not many people in the company who are closer to you than me. Only a fool would jump to a private team."
He spoke quickly, and Mandarin with a Northeastern accent came out.
"You didn't hesitate at all."
Luo Yang was amused by Chu Jing's words: "Is it because of the accounts?"
"That's right. Just like the month before the end of last year, you were busy and had a lot of social events. My overtime pay was almost equal to my basic salary."
The little mouth babbled at a very fast speed, with rich facial expressions.
After a period of contact, Chu Jing saw Luo Yang drunk many times and witnessed some of Luo Yang's private life. After some contact, he felt that his boss was a pretty good person, so now when talking to him, he was not as afraid as when he first entered the company.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking."
After learning this, Luo Yang raised his hand to stop Chu Jing from talking: "You go out first."
"Okay, boss!"
When his conversation was interrupted, Chu Jing also felt that he had talked too much in front of his boss.
Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and left quickly.
"It seems that Cong Shanshan was preparing to form a team. I want to see her explanation tonight!"
Luo Yang was not sure how big Dong Xuan's cake was.
But he knew that a senior business manager in the credit department of a branch was, to some extent, not much higher than a sales manager in a company. Only Dong Xuan's original position, director of the credit department, might receive the treatment of a deputy section-level official in a state-owned enterprise.
I might have to be the bad guy tonight!
