Chen Ze returned to his office.
Shen Xiyu stepped forward and asked, "Boss, would you like plain water or coffee?"
"Why drink coffee so early in the morning? Give me a glass of plain water."
"OK."
"Ding," Chen Ze picked up his phone and glanced at it. It was a QQ message. He opened it and saw that it was from Wang Siyu. The message read: What are you doing?
Chen Ze quickly typed a reply: Sending a message to my loved one.
Wang Siyu: Sister Xiyu went to work early this morning. I'm so bored at home by myself. Can you let me go to work at the company?
Chen Ze: Sure, I just started a Gray Wolf Investment Company. There's only one person in the company, Xi Yu. If you have time, you can help me recruit some talent and build the company's framework.
Wang Siyu: Okay, I'll get ready and go out to recruit people.
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Marketing Manager Liu Qihao walked in, holding a document in his hand, and came to him.
"Mr. Chen, our marketing department has now covered ten provinces and cities, including Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Henan."
Listening to his report, Chen Ze opened the document and read it carefully.
"You've done a great job. I've read the documents. You're planning to expand to Sichuan, Hebei, Shandong, Qinghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Tianjin, and the three northeastern provinces. You're applying for 100 million yuan in funding. Is 100 million yuan enough for these nine provinces and cities?"
Liu Qihao said earnestly, "President Chen, one hundred million is enough for now, but there's something I'd like to give you feedback on."
Chen Ze handed him a cigarette and said with a smile, "Manager Liu, just say what you have to say."
"Mr. Chen, here's the thing: our department now has over a hundred people, and it's too crowded inside. More than twenty of us are already using the conference room for work. Shouldn't you rent another floor of office space?"
"You can contact Mr. Wang about this."
After saying that, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the document.
Liu Qihao looked depressed.
“I’ve been talking to him for a week, and he’s been looking for a place for a week, but he hasn’t found anything suitable. But as far as I know, the 22nd and 23rd floors above us are empty. He doesn’t want to rent a place that’s right here. He insists on going out and looking for something else, saying that he’ll move the company there once he finds something suitable.”
Hearing Liu Qihao's complaints, he couldn't understand why Wang Kaicheng didn't rent a place nearby.
He handed the signed documents to Liu Qihao and said, "You should focus your energy on market development first. I'll ask General Manager Wang about this, and I'll resolve it as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Chen Ze looked at Shen Xiyu and asked, "Secretary Shen, how many people are there in the company now?"
"Boss, the company now has more than 500 employees, it's a bit crowded."
He immediately picked up his phone and called Wang Kaicheng; the call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Mr. Wang, have you found a suitable office building yet?"
"Boss, I'm looking, but I haven't found a suitable one yet. The ones I've looked at these past few days are either too small or too remote."
“Mr. Wang, I heard that there are vacant floors in Nanshan Building. Why don’t we rent one nearby?”
"Boss, lately my landlady keeps calling me in the middle of the night, asking me to come chat with her or drink with her. It's driving me crazy."
Chen Ze scoffed, "President Wang, why don't you just give in to her? That way you can avoid ten years of hard work."
"Boss, please don't laugh at me. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Okay, come back quickly. Rent the 22nd and 23rd floors. Just turn off your phone before going to bed tonight."
The call with Wang Kaicheng has ended.
There was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Yun Ruoxi was dressed in a women's business suit, with her long hair styled in big waves, exuding a mature and attractive aura.
Chen Ze couldn't help but take a second look.
"Sister Ruoxi, you're becoming more and more feminine. I wonder what brings you here?"
Yun Ruoxi placed the documents in her hand in front of him.
“Boss, our business has spread to more than a dozen provinces, and the number of riders has surged to over 100,000. I think the price we pay riders per order should be reduced a bit, otherwise our operating expenses are too high.”
Chen Ze nodded slightly, picked up the document on the table, and began to read it intently. "Let's lower it to five yuan per order for now."
After a moment's thought, Yun Ruoxi offered her suggestions.
"Boss, I think the riders should be able to accept a price of four yuan."
Without even thinking, he refused decisively, saying, "Sister Ruoxi, sometimes you can't rush things. Just like a delicious soup, it needs to be simmered over a low flame for a long time to bring out its fresh and mellow flavor."
"Okay, boss, then I'll do as you say and take it one step at a time."
"Is there anything else, Sister Ruoxi?"
"It's gone."
Chen Ze quickly signed the document in a few swift strokes, then handed it to her, saying, "It's alright, you can go back to work now."
She took the document and turned to leave.
Chen Ze spent the entire morning in his office reviewing documents and signing and stamping them.
I raised my wrist to check the time; it was already 11:50.
"Ding," a message notification sounded. I opened it and saw that it was a QQ message from Wang Siyu.
Wang Siyu: Have you missed me?
Chen Ze: I think about it all the time.
Wang Siyu: If you miss me, just call me...
Chen Ze: Your new mobile phone number? Is it from China Telecom or China Mobile? Why is the number so long?
Wang Siyu: Agricultural Bank of China, could you help me top up my phone credit?
