Chapter 117 Turning Point
If Gu Ningwei wants to obtain state-owned investment, he mainly relies on the business transformation of "Chengguang Group" and can no longer appear in the public eye as a real estate group.
That's why he thought of using Zhening Company as the core company, selling it to Chengguang, and packaging Chengguang into a technology-based enterprise with biotechnology as its core.
This seems to be the only way for Chengguang to come back to life at the moment.
However, Chengguang Group's previous industrial layout was all in the upstream and downstream real estate companies.
There is very little investment in other areas. The only pharmaceutical company that has been invested in not only has a small share, but is also suffering from continuous losses and is unable to take care of itself.
Gu Zhicheng has regretted investing in this company many times and is not very impressed with the management of the pharmaceutical company.
A few years ago, a pharmaceutical company encountered financial difficulties and came to the group to borrow money. Gu Zhicheng mocked the company and drove it out, which made the general manager very embarrassed.
At this moment, they have no contact with each other for a long time.
So the only hope is Zhening Company.
Fortunately, Li Zhekai did not insist and sold his shares to Gu Ningwei, which left him with no constraints in terms of equity. As long as the performance scale can be expanded, there is hope of attracting capital.
Gu Ningwei explained his purpose and future plans to Han Que in detail.
Now they are one, they prosper together and suffer together.
Gu Ningwei said to Han Que, "Now you understand, your chastity won't bring me any benefits. Instead, it's costing me a partner. Even if I agree to a business marriage with He Lian, it won't necessarily save Cheng Guang. So, why don't we work together? You help me keep the company running smoothly, and I'll be responsible for finding resources outside."
Han bit his lip, glared at him and smiled, then said after a long while, "Tell me honestly, when you approached me, did you also take my professional background into account?"
Gu Ningwei: “…”
Gu Ningwei was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant. He cried out in injustice. He was angry and amused at the same time. He pinched her nose and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not that serious..."
Han snorted: "You are a scheming person, and you always want to benefit yourself in everything. I have to think..."
"You're really too sensitive. You think I'm so shrewd. If I really wanted to plot against you...
Gu Ningwei said with a half-smile, "If I were to use you because of your professional background, I might as well just pretend to be closeted and take advantage of Tang Zifeng, he's the expert in this field..."
"It's a pity that Professor Tang is not gay, and he doesn't like you." Han glared at him with a little smugness in his eyes.
"I knew it. He really likes you." Gu Ningwei smiled and gritted his teeth, "I could tell he had no good intentions towards you. Fortunately, I saved him in time. Otherwise, with your weak will, who knows if he would have fallen in love with someone else."
Han snorted, "It's really hard to say."
Gu Ningwei hugged her waist tightly again and said with a smile, "You are not allowed to contact Tang Zifeng from now on. He has bad intentions, and I'm afraid he will lead you astray."
"That's not the case. He's a university professor with everything he wants. How could he possibly be interested in me? Not to mention I'm an unmarried mother..."
"What's wrong with being an unmarried mother? That doesn't mean you are not attractive." Gu Ningwei disagreed.
Han smiled slightly, said nothing more, and checked his Moments on his phone.
Gu Ningwei glanced at her and said nothing more.
The two of them were looking at their phones, looking at things that interested them.
At eleven o'clock, Gu Ningwei turned off the lights and asked Han Que to put down his phone and go to sleep.
Han turned his back to him, closed his eyes and counted sheep.
After a while, Gu Wei wrapped his arms around her waist, leaned over and kissed her cheek, and asked softly, "How about we find a time to visit your mother in a couple of days?"
Han didn't move, still closing his eyes and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to go see my mother?"
Gu Ningwei was silent for a moment, "We already have a child, I have to go meet the parents, otherwise your mother will blame me even more."
Han was silent for a moment, then said, "You misunderstood me. I didn't mean to blame you. I know you haven't finished dealing with your affairs yet... We can't cause trouble."
She knew now was not the time to discuss their marriage.
Besides, she had never met Gu Zhicheng, so why should she take Gu Ningwei to see Liu Suping?
Gu Ningwei was silent for a moment, then said, "I know you didn't blame me, but I still feel sorry for you. How about we get the certificate first, and then hold the wedding after we're done with this busy period, okay?"
Han curled the corners of his lips slightly and said nothing.
Gu Ningwei cautiously leaned closer and asked, "Do you agree?"
Han hummed and pushed him, "Go lie down. Don't get so close to me. It's so hot."
Gu Ningwei then lay down. After a while, he asked again, "Where do you want to hold the wedding?"
Han deliberately yawned and said, "Let's talk about it later. I'll see if I still want to marry you then..."
She knew that now was not the time to talk about these things, but she couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.
Seeing the child growing in her belly day by day, I wonder if Liu Suping would be so angry that she would have a heart attack again if she really gave birth to a child out of wedlock.
She sighed deeply in her heart.
The next day at work, Han Que met Yu Xiaoli making coffee in the tea room. He casually asked if there had been any breakthrough at Chunyi Company.
Yu Xiaoli shook her head with a gloomy face. "Manager Chen is always very polite to me, but he just won't mention the purchase. All the effort I put into his daughter might be wasted."
Han smiled and comforted her: "You can't say that. All your efforts will not be in vain."
Yu Xiaoli was in a low mood. She lowered her eyebrows and looked at her toes, rubbing them unconsciously on the carpet.
Her sales have been declining for the past two months. Several customers who had originally agreed to purchase goods have not done so for various reasons. Yu Xiaoli is very annoyed, but there is nothing she can do.
Han, holding a cup of water, drank from it while comforting him, "Don't worry, you have to take your time. After all, a company of Chunyi's size isn't easy to win. You're putting in the effort, and so are the competitors. Manager Chen must have a lot of suppliers like us. Everyone is putting in the effort."
Yu Xiaoli sighed and said, "I know that, but if I can get Chun Yi, then I'll have peace of mind. No matter what happens next, I won't be afraid. A company like theirs is large in scale and does well both online and offline. Unlike those small companies, they might be one way today and another tomorrow. They might say something good and then suddenly change their mind."
Han nodded and said, "Although the process of Chunyi is complicated, it is relatively stable. It is difficult, but once it is decided, it will be carried out according to the contract and generally there will be no breach of contract."
She emphasized "normal situation" because her situation was not "normal" that time.
Han was actually very anxious. Gu Ningwei urgently needed to submit a good performance report, but he couldn't show it in front of outsiders.
So she could only pat Yu Xiaoli on the shoulder and said, "Keep going, there will be no problem."
Yu Xiaoli sighed, "Manager Chen is as shrewd as a devil. Even though he owes me a big favor, he just won't give in. I don't know what to do." She stared at Han Que and smiled, "How about you, Sister Han Que, take action. Maybe you can handle them."
Han pointed at his nose and said, "Are you talking about me?"
She shook her head. "You're not mistaken, are you? If I go, it might only have a negative effect. After all, it was because of me that they wanted to return the goods in the first place."
Yu Xiaoli retorted, "Sister Han Que, I think it's okay for you to come forward. I heard Manager Chen mention you, and he didn't seem to be disgusted. He even said that their boss actually had a good impression of you and even praised you."
Han smiled and said nothing.
Yu Xiaoli shook her arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Han Que, how about I go and test Manager Chen's opinion? If he doesn't object, we can make an appointment to have dinner together and talk in person."
Han said nothing.
Yu Xiaoli took this as her agreement and immediately smiled: "Then I'll go and give it a try. Sister Han Que, wait for my news."
Han returned to his seat with a cup of tea, opened the document, and checked the market feedback report on the new product provided by the sales department.
The market feedback data for the new product is not very good. Distributors reported that although the product functions have met the standards after several rounds of testing, the sales data is not good because the marketing has not kept up and the advertising volume is insufficient.
Some dealers even specifically asked for old products, which were developed when Wang Jianan was in office. The patent rights are still under Wang Jianan's name, and the legal department is currently suing him. In order to avoid trouble, production has basically stopped.
However, the company cannot explain so much to suppliers and can only ask the marketing and sales departments to promote new products. This is also the reason why Yu Xiaoli and her colleagues' performance has recently declined.
Han leaned back in his chair, sighed, and felt very tired.
She was just worrying when her phone kept ringing. She clicked it and took a look, and saw that the sales group was in an uproar.
"Please, company leaders, think of a solution. We can't let Wang Jianan keep chasing us like this. Zhu Meimei stole my order again today. Damn, her price is 20% lower than ours. This is the third time she's taken my order. If this continues, how am I going to meet my targets this month?"
"Yes, I was robbed too. Wang Jianan made a new package and deceived customers by saying that their product was an upgraded version and the price was much lower than ours. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't believe me."
"By the way, Zhu Meimei is spreading rumors to customers everywhere, saying that our products are infringing patents because they are all owned by Wang Jianan personally. I want to ask if what they said is true. If it is true, we really can't sell this product anymore."
…
There was a lot of chatter and complaints in the group. The salespeople didn't get bonuses because they didn't meet their targets, and they were all in bad moods, becoming more and more angry.
Someone half-jokingly said: "Leaders should stop focusing on romance and at least solve practical problems for us. Single people like us don't have time for romance, and if we lose money, we have nothing."
Someone even followed up with, "Leaders should care about the suffering of single people."
Han smiled and replied, "Okay, next month the company will give everyone a bonus and invite them to sign up for a blind date."
Her words changed the topic and some people started discussing the blind date.
Han then closed the page.
She would not be angry about their outspoken words. Anyway, these veterans in the workplace would immediately change their attitude as long as they were paid, and call "Boss Han" all the time in a very affectionate way.
If you can't get the money, no one will even look at you when they meet you.
This is the reality. It was the same when she was working as a salesperson. She didn't want to say a word to Gao Ye when she met him on weekdays. She would only greet him with a smile when she needed something from him.
No wonder the performance has been declining this month. It seems that Wang Jianan is in a desperate fight with Zhening Company.
Yu Xiaoli came over and showed her the WeChat message on her phone: "Manager Chen said we can meet. I mentioned to him that I want to go with you, and he didn't object. So I've made an appointment?"
Han nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
