evening.
A residential community in Shenzhen.
"Uncle, Aunt, I'm bothering you again. Xiao Xi, Xiao Bei, it's been a while since I last saw you, you've almost grown into beautiful young ladies."
Annie acted like she knew everyone, greeting Chen Dong's family warmly.
Come to think of it, she had returned with Chen Dong two years ago, so it's not surprising that she remembers the address here.
Furthermore, now that she is Chen Dong's woman and is in charge of handling affairs in Pengcheng, it is only right and proper for her to visit Chen Dong's parents.
“You, since you’re already here, why did you buy all this stuff? We have everything we need at home. It would be enough if you could just come and visit us, the two old folks.”
"Auntie, Auntie, this is what a junior should do. Xiao Xi, Xiao Bei, these are Barbie dolls I specially brought from Hong Kong. See if you like them."
As she spoke, Annie handed the two plush dolls to Chen Xi and Chen Bei.
"Thank you, Sister Annie."
"Thank you, Sister Annie."
"Good girl! Alright, you two go play now."
Anne, loving her sister by extension, reached out and stroked her two younger sisters' heads, a smug smile spreading across her face.
"Uncle, this is tea I specially bought to show my respect to you. Oh, and this is top-grade donkey-hide gelatin. It's good for your skin. Aunt, this is for you."
"You, don't spend so much next time. Have you eaten? If not, Auntie will cook for you." Xiao Xinyi liked this young girl from the bottom of her heart and initially regarded her as her daughter-in-law, but after learning about Yulia and Zhou Huimin, she gave up the idea.
Their son is good in every way, except that he causes his parents a lot of worry when it comes to handling romantic relationships.
"Auntie, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already eaten at the company."
Chen Xuelin nodded. The food at Longteng Group was indeed quite good. Most employees working at Longteng would eat in the internal canteen.
"Chen Dong didn't come back with them?"
"The boss is busy elsewhere, and there are some other matters at the company that he asked me to come back and handle," Annie answered fluently, without revealing the slightest flaw.
Little did she know that experience counts, and Chen Xuelin himself managed the supermarket. How could he be completely unaware of any changes happening at Longteng Group?
“I’ve heard about what happened at the electronics factory. You don’t need to cover it up. Besides, isn’t Lin Zhiyuan still managing the electronics factory?”
"Just tell your uncle the truth, how serious is this problem? I heard that there seems to be a problem overseas. Chen Dong hasn't come back. Is he dealing with things overseas?"
Anne felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately, she had been in a high position for a long time and had seen all kinds of situations. She quickly adjusted her mindset.
"Uncle, it's not what you think! Actually, the boss is dealing with other issues. He asked me to come back this time mainly to adjust the strategic policy of Longteng Group."
"Well, I don't understand these policies either, but I still have to remind you that you have to be decisive and efficient in everything you do, and don't drag things out. In particular, you also need to soothe the emotions of your employees."
"During this time, I've heard some bad things, like Longteng Electronics is going bankrupt, or that it was fined by a foreign company and will be insolvent, even unable to pay salaries..."
Chen Xuelin chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Anyway, there are all sorts of rumors. Annie, tell your uncle the truth, did they really get fined by a foreign country?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Annie nodded. There was no point in hiding it. She continued, “But please rest assured, Uncle, I came back specifically to deal with this matter.”
"That's good." Chen Xuelin finally felt some relief, but quickly asked nervously again, "Is it true that they said the fine is several hundred million US dollars?"
hiss--
Seeing Annie nod, Chen Xuelin gasped.
Having run the supermarket for several years, he has become a qualified manager. He is proficient in terms such as revenue, gross profit, and net profit.
If the fine is really several hundred million dollars, wouldn't that mean that Longteng Electronics has not only worked for nothing all these years, but has even lost money?
“Uncle, you can’t say that. Part of the fine is for dumping, and another part is for environmentally friendly materials. As long as our products can pass the testing of a third-party organization, they can’t identify us.”
"The real problem is that if the fine is not paid in full, the products will not be allowed to be sold in Western countries."
At this point, Annie chuckled and said, "This is actually easy to solve. Since they prohibit us from exporting, we can just switch to domestic sales."
"Then how do you guarantee your profits?"
“Uncle, you can also ask my brother-in-law about this and see if I’m right. To be honest, Longteng Electronics’ main products have always been sold at a loss overseas, just to gain publicity. At first, we just wanted to capture the market and gradually build up our reputation.”
"But we later found that this path was not smooth. Sometimes when you offered a low price, the other party thought your product was not good. On the contrary, domestic sales have seen explosive growth because the domestic economic environment has gradually improved in recent years and the number of wealthy people has also increased."
"Even without this incident, our future focus will still shift towards the domestic market, and the domestic market will become an irreplaceable main battlefield in the world."
"Well said!" Chen Xuelin said with a face full of satisfaction, but he was still unconvinced. "I just can't stand those people who say that the moon is rounder in foreign countries than in China. Our products are just as good, so why do they think that only foreign countries can manufacture good products?"
"Exactly! That's what the boss thinks too."
"Uncle, let me give you a heads-up: our Longteng Group has been secretly developing a new generation of communication systems, which will be available in a year at most, or as little as six months."
