Chapter 116 Business Strategy
After dinner in the evening, Aunt Zhao returned to her room to look at her phone and watch short dramas. Gu Ningwei was in the study on a conference call. He closed the door, but Han did not disturb him. She continued to read the research and development documents sent to her by Tang Zifeng in the living room.
The three of them each do their own thing and do not interfere with each other.
Han felt very at ease. She liked this state of being independent, not disturbing each other, and yet caring about each other. This was the intimate relationship she had always been striving for.
Unfortunately, the boys I met before were not like this. Most of them were like Lu Xiaoping, hoping that their girlfriends would follow their ideas and do things according to their wishes.
When he was with Jiang Jin, they were both in school. Jiang Jin was very busy on weekdays and rarely went home, so Han Que couldn't see him. But when he was free after work, he asked Han Que to accompany him and meet according to his schedule.
And Lu Xiaoping is even worse. He is like a sticky insect. Not only does he follow Han Que all day long, but he also bombards him with text messages and WeChat messages at every turn. If Han Que replies late, he will write one short essay after another.
It was even more so when he was in the gym. He would hang out there every day, but Han would be in class while he would just stand at the door, wishing he could go in and do yoga with a group of girls.
Later, because Han Que had to work and attend classes, and did not meet his friends or play with him, Lu Xiaoping felt very embarrassed, as if Han Que was just an object in his life, and he wanted to keep everything new and show off.
But once times have changed and the novelty has worn off, he will definitely abandon it.
Han knew it in his heart, so he had no intention of accommodating him from the beginning. In the end, he accommodated him for once and attended his birthday party, but he met Gu Ningwei.
Han Que was distracted while looking at the documents when she heard Gu Ningwei calling her from the study: "Han Que, can you pour me a glass of water? I can't leave here."
Han got up and went to the kitchen to pour Gu Ningwei a glass of boiled water. He walked to the door of the study and knocked. Gu Ningwei said from inside, "Come in."
Han Que brought in a cup of water and saw Gu Ningwei leaning back in a chair, in a meeting. She put down the cup and wanted to leave, but Gu Ningwei took her hand, pulled her aside, and smiled at the computer screen. "Let me introduce you. This is Ms. Han Que, Assistant General Manager of Zhening Company, and my fiancée. She's in charge of the company's sales and R&D."
As he said this, he pulled Han Que in front of the computer and let her into the camera. Han Que looked over and saw that it was a conference room. There were three middle-aged men and one middle-aged woman sitting there. They were dressed simply and had proper manners. When the three middle-aged men heard the introduction, they waved politely to Han Que as a greeting.
Only the middle-aged woman's sharp eyes swept across Han Que's face, and she smiled and said, "Miss Han is so young. She is in charge of the main business of Zhening Company at such a young age. President Gu really knows how to use people well."
Han could hear something hidden in her words and wanted to say something, but Gu Ningwei gently pinched his wrist, so he could only smile and remain silent.
Gu Ningwei half-jokingly said, "Director Liang, do you think I'm being nepotistic? You've promoted your fiancée to such a high position in Zhening Company?"
He said this very frankly and directly, which made the director surnamed Liang feel a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant. Mr. Gu, please don't misunderstand me."
"Yeah, isn't there an old saying that goes 'appoint the virtuous regardless of their relationship'? Hahaha." A man nearby tried to smooth things over, "Our CEO Gu is young and promising, and his vision is not bad. I'm sure Miss Han is also very capable."
Gu Ningwei nodded. "Yes, Han is a professional and a veteran employee of Zhening Company. She started out as a salesperson in the sales department and understands the business better than I do. So I feel completely confident in handing the company over to her."
He paused and said to the other party, "As you all know, once Zhening Company is merged into Chengguang Group, as the main business, it must have a professional team, so I also need professional personnel to run it. Han Que is young and needs to improve his experience, but with Professor Tang Zifeng as our professional consultant, I think you don't have to worry too much about the professional aspects."
"Tang Zifeng? The youngest professor in the Biology Department of University A? That Tang Zifeng? He has made great achievements in anti-aging biochemical research. If he can cooperate with you, then you..." The speaker was a man, but Han looked at his clothes and appearance, and he looked like an expert in the same field.
"But I heard that he never deals with businesses and only does academic research. Is he really willing to cooperate with you?" someone asked again.
"Yes, Professor Tang has signed an exclusive agreement with us. He will not share his research findings with any other similar companies except ours, so we have a unique advantage in this niche field."
"Oh..." The people present at the other party looked at each other meaningfully.
"Well, we believe that with Professor Tang's support, you'll have an advantage in product research and development. However, given Chengguang's current situation, even if we bring Chening in, it will take some time. Furthermore, I've reviewed Chening's latest financial statements, and while the profit margin is not low, the business scale is still a bit small."
Director Liang said.
"Indeed, Director Liang is a true financial professional, seeing things head-on." Gu Ningwei wasted no time in praising him. He said, "Zhening Company needs to improve its business scale, and that's what I'm asking you all to do. Please give us some time. If you have any questions, we can at least sign a bet agreement to achieve your required core business revenue and profit targets within a certain period of time."
Gu Ningwei said.
"A gambling agreement?" Director Liang smiled. "Mr. Gu, please don't mind me. Given Chengguang's current situation, it seems there's not even a stake. He has no money and a high debt ratio. Although he's not yet insolvent, but..."
Director Liang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
"No need for Chengguang Group. I can use Zhening's shares as collateral. Zhening is wholly owned by me. If the performance targets are not met, I can transfer the shares to your platform unconditionally."
Gu Ningwei said quietly.
Han was shocked. She turned around and looked at Gu Ningwei in surprise. She moved her lips but couldn't speak.
Gu Ningwei shook her hand from below and motioned her to be quiet.
The other party seemed surprised. They exchanged glances and whispered something. Finally, Director Liang said, "We understand Mr. Gu's determination. We will report this to our superiors and discuss it with experts before giving you a reply."
"Okay, I know your procedures, just follow them." Gu Ningwei said with a smile.
The two sides chatted for a while and then the meeting ended.
When Gu Ningwei turned off the computer, Han couldn't help it. She pulled Gu Ningwei and said, "Ningwei, are you crazy? Unconditional transfer of Zhening Company's shares? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Gu Ningwei gently put his arm around her waist and nodded, "Of course I know what I'm talking about. It's just a bet, right? We have to make a bet, right?"
"But..." Han wanted to say, "You know if you lose the bet, you'll have nothing, right?"
"Yeah, I know. That's why we have to gamble. If we win, won't all the problems be solved?" Gu Ningwei scratched her nose. "They are state-owned. Although the investment conditions are harsh, the process is complicated, and the efficiency is low, they won't mention those messy additional conditions. What about business marriage? I don't want to sell myself..."
Han frowned, still a little confused. "But what if we can't meet their performance requirements?"
"Then find a way to achieve it." Gu Ningwei hugged her and gently kissed her forehead. "Don't I still have you? With you here, what else do I have to fear?"
"You..." Han stared at him, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She felt that she had been tricked by this man again. She looked at Gu Ningwen's face with a half-smile and pinched his ear, "You are not counting on me to meet the performance indicators again, are you?"
"If not you, who else can I count on?" Gu Ningwei looked at her pitifully. "Isn't the person I trust most my lovely wife?"
"I won't do it." Han refused outright. "You're trying to trick me again. These things about assistant general manager, vice president, and general manager training are all just lies you capitalists are using to deceive people. Even if you ask me to be chairman this time, I won't do it. Don't try to be my PUA."
Gu Ningwei raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then you will be the chairman and I will be the general manager. I will follow your arrangements."
"I won't." Han Que stroked her belly with her palm, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I'm pregnant. I can't handle such a high intensity of work. I want to treat myself like a piece of trash, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, take good care of myself..."
"You're not raising trash, you're raising pigs. You really need to sleep and eat, eat and sleep. After the baby is born, you'll be clamoring to lose weight again..." Gu Ningwei kissed her and teased her with a smile, "Who said that we have to stick to our jobs until the last moment before entering the delivery room?"
Han laughed and said, "That doesn't count. I can go to work, but you can't put all the completion targets on me."
"If I don't bet on you, I'll find a way myself..." Gu Ningwei said with a smile, "Don't worry. They haven't agreed to sign a gambling agreement with us yet. Their process is very slow, and they consider many aspects, not just business. So our current dispute is a waste of time..."
As he spoke, he put his arm around Han Que's waist, let her sit on his lap, and tenderly kissed her lips and her neck, saying incoherently: "The most important thing for me now is to kiss you well..."
His lips were scorching hot, lingering on her skin, and soon they were burning with passion, sparks flying everywhere.
Han shrank her neck slightly, avoiding his kiss. She fell into deep thought, nudged Gu Ningwei and said, "What if they agree to sign a bet agreement with us? Should I contact Chunyi Company? They have powerful channels and can help us boost our sales..."
Gu Ningwei let go of her and flicked her forehead helplessly. "Let me tell you, you may be mean, but you're actually more anxious than anyone else. This matter hasn't even been decided yet, so we need to think about it carefully."
"If they can invest, you won't have to worry and hide on the balcony smoking every night..." She was stunned after she said that.
Gu Ningwei was also stunned. The two of them looked at each other, staring at each other for a long time.
"No wonder." Gu Ningwei muttered softly: "Aunt Zhao must have betrayed me..."
His words reminded Han Que. She grabbed Gu Ningwei's ear and said with a smile, "Okay, you actually dared to lie to me. You said you would quit smoking..."
