Noon.
Lin Qian and Li Zhicheng were sitting in a small restaurant near the new base, killing time for lunch.
The owner served them a small hotpot, steaming hot with a spicy aroma. But no matter how fragrant and hot the atmosphere was, it couldn't compare to Li Zhicheng's extremely cold and calm expression. He was still sitting straight like a soldier, eating quietly and quickly with his bowl in hand.
Lin Qian lowered her head and focused on eating, continuing to make her presence less noticeable.
With a bang, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again. Lin Qian saw the owner eagerly asking, "How many people?"
Gu Yanzhi, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was already sitting at their table, throwing his car keys in the car.
Lin Qian immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Gu." Then she asked the owner to bring another set of chopsticks and bowls.
Li Zhicheng looked up at him and continued eating.
Lin Qian had never been so close to Gu Yanzhi in such a daily environment before. Now she realized he could also be a very easygoing person. He picked up the disposable chopsticks from the restaurant and sharpened them. Then he asked Lin Qian to pour him a glass of water and started eating.
After a few mouthfuls, he put down the chopsticks and asked Li Zhicheng, "How was it this morning?"
Lin Qian also looked up at Li Zhicheng.
He had already finished eating and was drinking water. His handsome face was slightly downcast. "As bad as I imagined."
Gu Yanzhi nodded and said, "We have a meeting at two in the afternoon. According to what we said yesterday, all the vice presidents and key department heads will have a meeting to discuss the next step of work."
"Okay."
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat. Boss's work was finally going to get to the main point.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yanzhi seemed to be able to sense what she was thinking. He suddenly turned to look at her and asked unhurriedly, "I heard that you suggested to GM Li that the focus of the next step is to 'find opportunities in the midst of opportunities to rebound'?"
Lin Qian thought for a while and was about to answer yes, but she suddenly froze.
Uh … Did Li Zhicheng tell Gu Yanzhi everything I said that day?
Lin Qian's face silently heated up.
Those thick-skinned words like "I'm willing to be your adjutant" and "this is my true self" seemed to come out naturally in front of Li Zhicheng. But she would still feel a little embarrassed if someone else knew about it. What's more, Gu Yanzhi was an old fox in the business world.
She looked up and indeed met Gu Yanzhi's dark and deep gaze with a faint smile. Even Li Zhicheng, who was at the side, seemed to have a faint smile in his eyes.
Lin Qian was silent for a moment. Then, as if nothing had happened, she answered with a smile, "Yes, it's just a personal thought. I also want Aida to become better."
But what kind of person was Gu Yanzhi? He replied sharply, "Oh, is that so? Since you've brought up this point of view, then tell me, what is the opportunity you're talking about? I don't want a general methodology, I just want a concrete solution. "
Lin Qian was quiet for a moment.
In fact, when she expressed her loyalty to Li Zhicheng that day, she had already held back. Just as Gu Yanzhi said, she only proposed the methodology and kept the solution in her heart. At that time, she wasn't sure if she could get the position of the CEO's assistant, so it would have been too rash to suggest it. Moreover, it was a risky suggestion.
But Lin Qian had always believed in the workplace creed: Be tactful when dealing with small matters, face the big ones head on, and do things with real strength. If everything was tactful, and she couldn't use her talents freely, how tiring and boring would that be?
So she answered, "Mr. Li, Mr. Gu, I think the most suitable opportunity is the Ming Sheng Group's project."
After saying this, she paused for a moment to observe their expressions.
But she was surprised to find that there was a subtle silence in the room. They both looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue.
So Lin Qian simply threw caution to the wind and began to speak with assurance.
"I think, since we want to make a comeback, what Aida needs is a shot in the arm.
And I suggested the Ming Sheng project not because I think it can bring in huge profits and turn Aida around completely. On the contrary, the profits from this project may be very small, or even non-existent, and it will be very difficult for us to get it. But I still think this project is our best way out.
First, it can open up new markets. Now the end consumer market is firmly controlled by New Bori and SMQ. Although that market is larger, it will be too difficult and slow for us to break through. And Ming Sheng Group is one of the top 50 enterprises in the country, a state-owned enterprise. Its orders are almost equivalent to government purchases, which can greatly improve Aida's reputation. And in the system of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), it has many other companies. As long as we do a good job with this order, there will definitely be other orders coming to us. We don't have to make money from Ming Sheng.
Second, morale. This is actually a problem as serious as the performance. Such an important project would definitely excite everyone in the company and reunite around CEO Li.
Third, after seeing the new base this morning, I am even more convinced of this idea. These high-end raw materials can't be sold in the country, but if we use them in the Ming Sheng project, we can use up the stock in one go, and give these state-owned enterprises the impression that they are cheap and good. Aida's capital chain will also be revived.
In this way, people will be revived, the capital chain will be revived, and the market will be revived. Everything will be revived. "
It was already early in the morning in the United States Eastern Time.
Lin Mochen finished work for the day, rubbed between his eyebrows, and habitually opened his email. He smiled.
It was from Lin Qian, just two words: Thanks.
He was interested in her career choice this time, so he took out his phone and dialed her number.
Lin Qian had just returned to the company after eating with the two bosses. Seeing the number, she walked to the empty stairwell to answer it.
"Brother, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lin Mochen smiled faintly, "Assistant Lin, how do you feel about your new job?"
Lin Qian thought about what had happened in the morning and smiled, "Why, are you here to cheer for me?"
"Yes," he answered, "Let's see how long you can last."
Lin Qian said, "Pfft! Brother, can you not be so wicked? "She thought to herself that he seemed to be in a good mood and that his investments had been going well.
However, Lin Mochen was obviously in a good mood, and his wicked sense of humor grew again. He said lightly, "Oh, I had some time after work yesterday, so I did a simple valuation of your Aida."
"Oh? Brother, you are so nice. "Lin Qian was excited. Lin Mochen's "simple" valuation was something the outside world was willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars for.
Lin Mochen smiled and said, "Based on the analysis of the market, debts, and assets, after compensating for the loss caused by the carcinogen incident, the capital that the whole of Aida can raise and use in the near future will be no more than ten million. Currently, the overall business growth is negative, so if there is no new growth point, the ten million will continue to drop, and soon we will go bankrupt. "
Lin Qian was speechless.
Ten million, only ten million? A company that used to have billions of assets, now only has this much left?
