Xiao Weiguo slowly took out two cigarettes from the cigarette pack in front of him, and then gently handed one of them to Zhang Fan.
His movements appeared somewhat casual, yet they conveyed a sense of composure and confidence.
After Zhang Fan took the cigarette, Xiao Weiguo did not immediately light his own cigarette, but instead turned and walked to the large French window.
Standing by the window, he could overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city, and the second phase of the factory area across the river was also in full view.
Xiao Weiguo gazed quietly at the scenery outside the window, as if he were pondering something important.
After a while, he finally turned around and faced Zhang Fan.
“Mr. Zhang,” Xiao Weiguo’s voice was deep and powerful, “you are undoubtedly an expert in the domestic clothing market. In some aspects, I have to admit that you are more experienced and insightful than I am.”
Zhang Fan silently smoked his cigarette, his gaze fixed intently on Xiao Weiguo, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He seemed to be waiting for Xiao Weiguo to further explain what he had said.
Xiao Weiguo seemed to understand Zhang Fan's thoughts, and without pausing, he continued speaking.
"However, the situation is completely different when we look to the international market. There is a world of difference between opening up the international market and simply focusing on the domestic market."
Domestically, our country is in the early stages of reform and opening up, an era full of opportunities and challenges.
And you and I, like birds standing on the cusp of a storm, are able to spread our wings and soar high with the help of this powerful east wind.
Many factors have had a positive impact on us, enabling us to achieve what we have today.
Without these favorable conditions, I probably wouldn't have gotten to where I am today.
In other words, it is this great era that has made us who we are, and it is thanks to the benefits given by the country that we have been able to thrive.
Because of this, our life path has always been very smooth, so smooth that we have developed the illusion that we are the pioneers of this era and that our abilities are powerful enough to conquer the whole world.
Take you, Mr. Zhang, for example. Although your company has now gone bankrupt, I believe you would never think that it was due to your own lack of ability, but simply because some mistakes were made in some part of the process.
Am I right? After saying this, Xiao Weiguo's gaze slowly fell on Zhang Fan, as if waiting for his response.
As Xiao Weiguo said, Zhang Fan was indeed an extremely confident person. Although his company no longer existed, he had never truly accepted the fact that he was a failure.
He firmly believes that if he gets another chance, he will be able to make a comeback and return to the peak of his career.
That's why he was able to endure humiliation and hardship in the arcade, willingly serving as a lackey for those he had once disregarded.
He did this for one purpose only: to accumulate initial capital and make full preparations for a comeback.
In Zhang Fan's mind, as long as he can completely stay away from the demon of gambling, he can still become the spirited and invincible Boss Zhang again.
However, Xiao Weiguo's words today struck him like a heavy hammer blow, making him suddenly realize the truth.
Xiao Weiguo is right. Which of those so-called successful people didn't rise to prominence by taking advantage of the country's policy dividends and riding the wave of the times?
However, as time went on, the market gradually stabilized, and the national economy showed a prosperous scene.
In this situation, the state will ultimately choose to leave everything to the market to regulate itself, rather than supporting a toddler as it does with its own learning.
After all, people always have to learn to grow independently, and the market is no exception.
Once the market and related fields have matured, they will naturally form their own set of rules.
Within this new framework of rules, continued growth requires unique foresight and keen insight.
Otherwise, neither individuals nor businesses can avoid being eliminated by the times.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a wave of fear, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Only now did he realize how vast the gap was between himself and Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo's calm and composed mind alone was far beyond his capabilities.
After a long silence, Zhang Fan finally came to his senses. He took a deep breath and then humbly asked Xiao Weiguo for advice.
"So, in Mr. Xiao's opinion, what should we do now?"
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. Actually, I've already started working on the overseas market strategy."
When the time is right, I definitely won't let you down! However, there are two important tasks I need you to complete right now.
Seeing that his words had had some impact on Zhang Fan, Xiao Weiguo decided to strike while the iron was hot and reveal his next plan to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan quickly said, "Chairman Xiao, please speak."
His tone was somewhat urgent, as if he was full of anticipation for what Xiao Weiguo was about to say.
Xiao Weiguo smiled slightly and continued.
"First of all, all the equipment for our second phase is in place. Go to the design department tomorrow to pick up the relevant drawings, and then I'll give you three days to produce a sample. This is a very crucial step, so you must ensure both quality and efficiency."
Zhang Fan nodded seriously, indicating that he understood the importance of the mission.
Xiao Weiguo continued.
"Secondly, once the samples are produced, you need to fly to Paris, France immediately. This time, you'll be taking our products to this year's summer fashion show. It's an excellent opportunity to showcase our products, and we absolutely cannot miss it."
Zhang Fan's heart tightened; he knew this mission would be quite difficult.
However, since Xiao Weiguo trusted him so much, he naturally couldn't back down.
Xiao Weiguo seemed to see through Zhang Fan's thoughts and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will provide you with a professional team, and they will do their best to assist you in your work."
You just need to focus on management and coordination; the company will handle everything else, including public relations and expenses.
Zhang Fan felt somewhat relieved after hearing Xiao Weiguo's words. However, he also understood that this mission was both a challenge and a rare opportunity for him.
Without much hesitation, Zhang Fan nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely do my best to do this well and make our brand known over there as soon as possible."
Xiao Weiguo nodded in satisfaction; he had great faith in Zhang Fan's abilities.
"Remember, after you arrive, the factory's production will not stop. I have confidence in our products, and when the time is right, I will make them the object of pursuit for everyone in the world."
Xiao Weiguo's words once again surprised Zhang Fan.
