After Zhou Yuan called everyone to a meeting, he returned to his office and picked up his teacup to drink.
Secretary Xiaoyuan walked over quietly and knocked on the door.
As Zhou Yuan's doctor invited her in, she came in and smiled at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan felt a little strange and asked with a frown, "Why are you standing there smiling at the workstation if you're not going?"
"Boss, you're so handsome. It would be a shame if you didn't become an actor."
"Being a shitty actor, although actors make money, can they live as freely as I do?" Zhou Yuansong rolled his eyes at this guy and said with a curled lip:
"Do you know how deep the waters of the entertainment industry are? Don't get caught up in it. If you drown, you won't know how you died."
After that, he picked up his teacup and laughed heartily. "How can you know if you don't try? People should always have dreams. Don't be content with a small fortune and wait for death."
Xiao Yuan's words deeply stimulated Zhou Yuan. He felt that although the youngest girl's words were unpleasant, her words were true and quite philosophical and profound.
Ever since the company expanded and made some money, I have shown signs of slacking off, especially recently.
He doesn't want to do anything and wants to push everything to his subordinates, just wanting to be a hands-off boss. This is obviously not okay.
Many things in the company depend on me, and I need to deal with them myself, especially strategic things, which require me to think hard.
We need to keep up with the latest information from the Internet. In other words, we must keep up with the times and our thinking must not fall behind!
He said that his father-in-law was old and his thinking was not up to par, but he was still young and should never let this happen to him.
Otherwise it would be troublesome. As he was walking around the company thinking about the problem, the cell phone on the table rang.
He grabbed it and saw that it was his competitor Zheng Qiang calling, so he pressed the answer button and said "Hello" with a smile.
The other party's voice soon came: "Mr. Zhou, how are you? Are you busy now? Do you have any major investments?"
"Bullshit, I'm drinking tea in the office. It's almost the same. I'm about to get sick from being idle."
Zhou Yuan laughed out loud. They were always like this, hiding things from each other and never telling the truth to each other.
After all, they were both smiling but treacherous. How could they possibly be close to each other? They would joke around and appear friendly on the surface, but in their hearts they were wary of each other.
They are afraid that the other party will find out their core secrets and use them against them.
Because of this, after so many years, they have not been able to become true friends. They can only laugh and joke when they meet, and then take care of themselves.
"Mr. Zhou, you're trying to fool me again, aren't you? Don't think I don't know you've started construction on a new real estate project in the south of the city. It's planned to be a three-phase project, covering hundreds of acres. Pretty impressive!"
"It's just a small project. How can it be compared with President Zheng?" Zhou Yuan laughed again.
We are all colleagues and rivals, so we are all concerned about each other's information. Usually, we have subordinates responsible for collecting intelligence from all aspects.
Then summarize it and provide it to the boss as a reference for strategic investment.
After all, it is a matter of great importance. Where to buy the land, how to build it, and what kind of houses to build, all have to be called a free city. After many tests, a conclusion can be drawn.
There is a saying that goes, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. If you don't understand your opponent clearly, you will sometimes be passive."
"Mr. Zheng has a large real estate project in the east of the city, and it's doing very well! The sales performance is pretty good, right?" Zhou Yuan also knew where Zheng Qiang was and what projects he had.
So he said it directly. Even if others knew his background, he couldn't let others look down on him.
In fact, these are all matters of the open, and no one can hide them from anyone else. However, those who have not yet invested or are preparing to invest generally will not let others know so quickly.
This is also the key for them to find out the other party's strengths and weaknesses.
"Mr. Zhou! I know you're young, promising, and ambitious. Your company has grown significantly in size, becoming stronger and more well-known. You've almost driven us, the established real estate companies, to the brink of collapse. You're truly amazing."
"How can you be better than me! We are all the same, not just the eldest brother, but also the second brother. We are all elites in the industry."
The two of them were like this, you flatter me and I flatter you, and we flattered each other.
After some laughter, greetings and politeness, the other party finally got to the point.
In fact, Zhou Yuan knew it even without the other party saying it. As the saying goes, no one visits someone for no reason. If the other party had nothing to do, he would not call him.
People don't have the heart to exchange pleasantries with me, let alone call me specifically to say hello. What matters most is business interests.
Sure enough, after chatting for a long time, Zheng Qiang changed the subject, sighed and said, "Brother, I need your help. Can you help me for the sake of our brotherhood?"
"You have to explain the situation clearly, otherwise how can I promise you anything? Besides, I can help with smaller problems, but if the problem is too big, I'm afraid I can't help.
Right now, the mood is volatile and the market is volatile. Sometimes even brothers can't protect themselves. It's like a clay Buddha crossing a river, so please forgive me!"
When it comes to getting money, everyone will feel a pain in the ass. Businessmen are businessmen and they all want profits. Who would do something that has no profit?
So Zhou Yuan spoke directly and answered very straightforwardly without any hesitation.
The other party also knew that this was his answer, so he was not surprised at all. He just continued to pretend to be poor and play the victim. Time said in a very helpless voice:
"Brother, you have to help me this time, otherwise I will be doomed.
My funding points are almost used up, the house is hard to sell, and the funds cannot be recovered. What do you think I should do? "
"What to do? Just leave it alone." Zhou Yuan said a catchphrase, then thought about it and felt that this guy should work harder on sales.
It's such a big hole, I may not be able to help if I pay for it myself, and I may not be able to pay that much money. I'm not a saint.
So he thought about it and said, "You have so many immature houses. Why don't you put more effort into them, organize some promotions, and get some money back? Wouldn't that help you get through this difficult time?"
"Promotion? Bro, you make sense, but how? How much effort is needed to be effective?"
Zheng Qiang said thoughtfully that it's not that he hadn't thought about promotions, but he was a little skeptical about whether it would be effective.
Because he had done it before, but with little success. After all, the profit margin was too large and he couldn't make any money, and the profit margin was too small and the customers were not interested.
People nowadays are very shrewd, and no one wants to do anything that will put them at a disadvantage.
So he felt like he was a duck forced into a corner with no way out, so he couldn't think of a good solution.
Zhou Yuan laughed heartily and said with certainty, "To offer discounts, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money and make consumers feel your sincerity. Your most important thing now is to recover the funds, not just to make money."
