Since Lu Fan had agreed to invest in and support Xu Qiaojun's company, he took over the matter from Jiang Manyue:
“My third uncle is in charge of the real estate company now, I’ll talk to him.” Jiang Manyue was finally relieved.
Xu Qiaojun's contact with Lu Fan naturally did not escape the notice of the Wang family.
However, times have changed.
The Wang family was still reeling from the shock of Wang Qiying's death, and no one wanted to cause trouble at this time and provoke the old man.
Therefore, they decided to turn a blind eye to Xu Qiaojun and Lu Fan's "secret collusion".
They just need to wait until Wang Qiying's matter has quietly passed before causing trouble for Xu Qiaojun and Lu Fan.
Harbour City, the China headquarters of Shengjing Company.
Gu Ru'an had already received the reports from the finance department. He didn't bother analyzing the curves or comparisons; he flipped straight to the end to see the conclusions.
Compared with the past three years, the net profit alone decreased by nearly 30% in the same quarter!
The previous quarter had seen negative growth.
This quarter, profits have dropped by 30%, let alone market share.
If you keep possessing it, and you can't sell it, it's just like having something to occupy without doing anything!
In the foreseeable final quarter of this year, Shengjing Company's revenue is likely to experience its biggest drop since its founding, and it will enter a period of loss.
Gu Ru'an has only been the president of Shengjing Company for less than three years. In his third year in office, he's already managed to ruin the company like this; he can only imagine the damage this will do to his career!
Thinking of this, Gu Ruan threw all the documents and materials out.
Then he questioned the sales manager:
"What's going on? I need a reasonable explanation from you."
The sales manager was covered in sweat; he knew exactly what was going on.
Even without the finance department providing this information, just looking at the figures, the commissions of their department's top employees from previous years have plummeted.
I knew this quarter's revenue ratio would look even worse.
From the outside, Shengjing Company still looks like it's thriving and bustling, but only its employees know what "economic downturn" really means.
The purified water and coffee in the tea room are not changed frequently, the number of canteen stalls has been reduced from ten to three, and even instant noodles have appeared as a staple food.
As the saying goes, "ducks are the first to know when the river warms in spring." Not to mention the sales manager, even the sales staff under him were secretly plotting how and when to run away.
Let's leave now; there's definitely no chance of getting a year-end bonus.
Not leaving? With the paltry sums we're making each month, not leaving would be a loss!
Moreover, everyone had a vague feeling that Shengjing Company's year-end bonus this year might not be decent.
Gu Ru'an asked the sales manager to review the quarterly report, and the sales manager had no choice but to look at it.
But you won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.
He hadn't expected the data to be this bad.
After reading it, he only had one thought in his mind: No, I also need to prepare to find another job.
The sales manager thought about it and realized that he couldn't really be made to take all the blame.
So he started scolding Zhao Jinshui, the marketing director: "President Gu, I've only been here a short time. The sales department's performance started to decline when Director Zhao was in charge. Now it's just a matter of accumulated problems that are hard to reverse."
"Moreover, it was Director Zhao who suggested starting a price war with Lu's Food Factory."
"Without new marketing strategies and mismatched advertising, it's no surprise that sales have declined!"
Gu Ru'an listened as the sales manager began to berate Zhao Jinshui, but she had no way to express her grievances.
Zhao Jinshui was the younger brother of his lover, Zhao Jinfang.
But the two siblings were worlds apart; Zhao Jinshui had climbed to the position of marketing director entirely through nepotism. Gu Ruan had never regretted her decision as much as she did now.
Zhao Jinshui undoubtedly has no real skills whatsoever.
It could even be said that the conflict with Lu's Food Factory started with Zhao Jinshui.
This guy 367 is still yelling that he'll teach the Lu family a lesson.
As a result, what was beautiful became their spectacle.
Gu Ru'an's eyelids twitched, knowing that if things continued like this, her professional career might be over.
Now, the question is how to explain this to the chairman.
His eyes darted around, and he turned to the sales manager:
"To prepare the next quarterly report, and to address the problems encountered during the sales process."
"Come with me to meet the chairman tomorrow."
The sales manager felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that this guy had ulterior motives. But his explanation left no room for refusal, as it was, after all, normal business dealings.
This reporting trip was clearly not easy.
However, the changes in business strategy can be said to be showing initial results.
After Gu Ruan returned to the company, he announced the chairman's guidance.
All products are subject to a price reduction, with the price range from...
For the first time in decades since its founding, this global industry leader has shown signs of decline.
