"When running a business, persistence is key. Your company is doing well right now. Many companies have been making losses for years, but they still persevere. As long as you wait for the right opportunity and make a profit in a year, you can definitely make up for all the losses."
Lin Huayong's words were like a shot of cardiac stimulant, injected directly into Yuan Fangguo's weak heart.
In an instant, he felt his heart beating again.
Lin Huayong told Yuan Fangguo to persevere, and Yuan Fangguo felt enlightened instantly. Perhaps he was really too hasty. If he wanted to accomplish great things, he must calm down and lay a solid foundation step by step.
Although Yuan Fangguo's Huaxialong Motorcycle Factory did not look good in the short term, Lin Huayong still followed Yuan Fangguo to visit the factory.
After looking around, he didn't have any objections.
On the way back, Lin Huayong suddenly slapped his thigh. This sudden action scared Yuan Fangguo.
"Fang Guo, you're still lacking talent in sales?"
Yuan Fangguo nodded without disguising, "That's right, our team is too short of people to handle such a big event."
"I can introduce you to someone."
"who."
"Tong Mingzhu from Zhuhai Geli Group."
"Tong Mingzhu?" Yuan Fangguo was stunned. You know, in his era, Tong Mingzhu was very famous throughout the country. She single-handedly created the Geli Group.
"Yes, she is now a sales representative for Guangdong Province. This woman is very capable. If you can get her to join your team, I think you are only one step away from success."
Tong Mingzhu's personal abilities were indeed strong, and Yuan Fangguo knew many stories about her. After her husband passed away, she moved south alone in her teens, leaving behind her young son and elderly mother, and created one sales legend after another in the air-conditioning industry. He currently estimated that her abilities had not yet been fully tapped. If he really managed to recruit Tong Mingzhu to his company...
The more Yuan Fangguo thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to ask Lin Huayong how to contact Tong Mingzhu.
"I'll ask for you later, but this woman is difficult to deal with. She's naturally arrogant, so you'll have to think it over carefully."
"If the state-owned enterprise can make good use of Tong Mingzhu, why can't I, Yuan Fangguo, make good use of her?" Yuan Fangguo thought about it and secretly encouraged himself.
Yuan Fangguo was overjoyed when he unexpectedly learned about Tong Mingzhu, a talented woman in his previous life. After Lin Huayong gave him the contact information, he immediately called Tong Mingzhu.
Unexpectedly, Tong Mingzhu directly rejected him on the phone.
This made Yuan Fangguo very puzzled, but he was not willing to give up, so he called Tong Mingzhu several times in succession.
Tong Mingzhu could still answer the call the first few times, but after so many times, she just hung up on him without answering the call.
Before they actually made contact, Yuan Fangguo had already deeply understood how powerful Tong Mingzhu was.
Helplessly, he had to turn to Lin Huayong for help and ask him to act as a lobbyist.
Lin Huayong didn't seem to have any confidence or certainty this time, he just said he would give it a try.
As expected, Lin Huayong quickly told Yuan Fangguo that Tong Mingzhu told him that she was currently doing well in the Geli Group and did not want to move.
After being rejected again, Yuan Fangguo had to put aside the idea of poaching Tong Mingzhu for the time being.
After finishing his work at the company, he also accompanied Lin Huayong and Li Chunli for a few meals and went outings. In late August, Yuan Fangguo boarded a plane to Donghai City.
He was invited by Lin Changchun.
He did not bring his girlfriend with him when he went to Donghai City this time. Firstly, his girlfriend's family had strict discipline, and secondly, he felt that Lin Yu seemed to have some aversion to Lin Yumei. For these two reasons, he chose to fly to Donghai City alone.
Like Pengcheng, Donghai City also benefits from various welfare policies. As soon as he got off the plane, Yuan Fangguo felt that it was a unique port city.
Donghai City is close to the Yangtze River Delta and has a very advantageous geographical location. In addition, it has a natural deep-water port, making it an important port city in the eastern coastal area of China.
This time, Lin Changchun drove a Mercedes-Benz to pick him up.
In the past few years along the coast, Lin Changchun also obtained a driver's license.
"Mercedes-Benz?" Yuan Fangguo blurted out when he saw Lin Changchun driving a Mercedes-Benz over alone.
Lin Changchun felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. "This Mercedes-Benz is not mine. It was given to me by our boss."
"It seems that the boss really values you." Yuan Fangguo said with admiration.
Lin Changchun smiled and immediately opened the car door. "Let's get in the car. I'll take you to the beach to eat seafood."
"Okay." Yuan Fangguo didn't bring much luggage, just a small suitcase with some clothes for changing. So after getting off the plane, they didn't need to go to the hotel. The two drove straight to the seafood stalls on the beach.
"Stay in our company's hotel tonight." Lin Changchun said to Yuan Fangguo shortly after getting in the car.
"Uncle Lin, does your company have a hotel?"
Lin Changchun nodded, "Of course, it's a five-star hotel."
"It seems that your boss is still very rich." Yuan Fangguo said with admiration.
"Not bad, I guess I'm worth tens of billions." Lin Changchun looked relaxed. He was currently a hot figure in the entire group company and was deeply trusted by the Taiwanese boss. That was why he was given a Mercedes-Benz, while the CEOs of other branches were given Crowns and Volkswagens at most.
"I'll go take a good look at your company later."
"I'll show you around tomorrow."
"My motorcycle factory launched products in June, but now I'm having a headache with sales," said Yuan Fangguo.
"Sales is indeed not an easy thing. We have encountered it in the past. Once you open up sales channels, you will find new problems arising," said Lin Changchun.
"What new problem?" Yuan Fangguo asked subconsciously.
"Money issues are very common in the Yangtze River Delta. If the 'government' defaults on payments, there's nothing you can do about it. And if a debtor defaults, there aren't many recourses either. So, when doing business, you have to be open-minded and have sufficient liquidity. Otherwise, you'll easily be stymied by debt. I've been in the coastal areas for so many years, and I've personally witnessed at least ten companies worth tens of millions go bankrupt due to triangular debts. So you have to be prepared for a long-term solution."
"What about your company now? Have you encountered any problems?"
"We haven't encountered that yet. We have a dedicated legal department, and they handle any problems that arise. Furthermore, our products are mainly sold back to Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore. Compared to us mainlanders, people there still have a certain sense of credibility and won't joke about integrity."
Lin Changchun's words stirred ripples in Yuan Fangguo's heart. Perhaps the business world is really like this, where the right time, place and people are all important, and none of them can be missing.
