Chen Baosheng was sitting opposite Luo Min, but he was too embarrassed to stare at her long legs.
After taking the tea poured by Aunt Chen, Chen Baosheng took a sip of tea, then picked up the lychees on the coffee table, peeled off a lychee and threw it into his mouth:
"To be honest, Sister Min, I'm looking for you to discuss setting up a branch in Southeast Asia!"
"oh?"
"After all, domestic projects are becoming more and more difficult to handle now, and there is no one else competing! The unit price is low, and they are still being snatched up like treasures. The few orders in the Pearl River Delta this month are basically unprofitable."
"We want them to execute our price. If the price is too low, we won't accept it." Luo Min opened her mouth and came.
Chen Baosheng peeled off a lychee and ate it. It tasted good, so he picked another one and put it in his hand.
While stripping, he said: "If we enforce our prices, it will be difficult to accept orders for projects. In the past year, as we were listed in Hong Kong, several wealthy Internet companies and the capital behind them smelled the smell of blood, just like The crowds of people are coming like shitmakers, all wanting to stir up trouble and get a taste of the sweetness. However, the market is so big, and as soon as they come in, the price system of the domestic market is in a state of falling apart."
"So, I want to send Chen Liang to Vietnam or Thailand in Southeast Asia, so that he can take root there and develop the local market. And as far as I know, Qinghong International under Xia Qinghong has not been operating well since its establishment. , they are also preparing to open up the market there... Therefore, if we go there first, we will have the upper hand and occupy the position. When they arrive, we will be the first to establish a foothold."
After hearing what Chen Baosheng said, Luo Min also stopped what he was doing, stared at him with blank eyes and said, "Have you ever had a budget to set up a company over there? If you open it as you imagined, the company will make an appointment." How much investment?”
Although she was at home, Luo Min was very cool in her home pajamas. She had a plump mouth and was very delicately painted. Her hair was loose and full of the style of a royal sister.
Chen Baosheng thought for a while and then told Luo Min on his fingers: "Over there, we need to build a model project, and we still need to obtain the construction qualification from their country, and we also need to rent office space, etc. At the same time, more than ten workers need to be sent there... After all, it is more troublesome to train people there. If you calculate it this way, the basic investment will be about 20 million yuan."
Luo Min thought for a moment, put down her lipstick, and said to Chen Baosheng, "Is it 20 million yuan?"
Chen Baosheng replied: "The initial budget of 20 million yuan should be enough."
"Then where are you planning to locate the branch?"
"Lao Lao!" (I won't write my real name, so I won't cause trouble, please understand.) Chen Baosheng thought for a while and said: "We used to serve two customers in Jiangmen, Jiang Shaolin, and he moved a factory with more than 2,000 people. We went there. He has a good relationship with us, and he also promised that if we go there, we will continue to build the factory! Moreover, he is also the president of the local Chinese Business Association, and he has talked about the work in the chamber of commerce. Maybe you can introduce it to us."
"Oh, that's fine... What about sending people? Do you want Chen Liang to go?"
"I think Chen Liang is okay, so let him go first!" Chen Baosheng replied, leaving her some room for negotiation.
After listening to Chen Baosheng's words, Luo Min thought deeply, and then murmured: "You said it's in Laos, I just think... When opening a company abroad, I always feel unsure. And 20 million Yuan To be honest, it’s nothing to lose. But... I’m afraid that 20 million yuan has been invested, the model room has been built, and the project has been received, but more capital investment will be needed in the follow-up, which needs to be considered. Although we are now It is a listed company, and the whereabouts of the funds must be clear.”
"Also, I have heard from clients that it is difficult to manage their relationship. They always ask for money before doing things for you. It can be said that corruption is rampant. Think about it, if we invest tens of millions by then, we will also undertake You won a client's project, but because of this relationship, you cannot serve the client well or even fail to complete the project? That would be troublesome. It's like a big buffalo falling into a quagmire. Even if you try to get out, you can't get out."
Luo Min said that, in fact, he was worried and full of fear of the unknown market. Why didn't Chen Baosheng understand her thoughts? In her heart, at best, she has a sense of worry, but at the end of the day, she has no aggressiveness and no courage to fight.
Although she is a beautiful and intelligent woman, she needs to be good-looking and courageous. But her words still made Chen Baosheng feel like he had poured cold water on him. While he was slightly uncomfortable, he also felt that his interests were not in the same line as hers at all.
"Sister Min, although they have poor public security, rampant corruption, and complicated forms. But there are not so many people in our country doing business there. Since people can set up pedicures there, what should we be afraid of? Besides, as our Can he and others compare with the strength of listed companies?"
Luo Min felt dizzy when she saw Chen Baosheng talking seriously. She even felt that his words made her feel upset and unhappy. She stood up and said loudly with a calm face: "What are we afraid of? We are afraid of everything, because we are a listed company, we must be responsible to our employees and customers, and we must keep up with follow-up services. Have you ever thought about it, if we are just a company In private companies, when we work on projects there, we only need to pay the bill and run away secretly without providing any follow-up services, so who cares about us? But because we are a listed company, we cannot run away, so we have greater responsibilities. Commitments to customers should also be fully implemented."
"And have you ever thought about it, if the current situation there is turbulent and corruption exists, how can we fulfill this commitment? If the safety of our employees cannot be guaranteed, how can the company's profits be discussed? So I don't agree with what you said! Luo Min threw the lipstick in her hand into the makeup box, then turned around and said, "Anyway, I don't agree to open a company in Laos. If you are stubborn, you can go there and have a look." Come up with a complete plan and discuss it at the shareholders' meeting. If everyone agrees, I have no objection!"
In the past, Chen Baosheng's suggestions always received a positive response from her. Unexpectedly, this time, when he brought it up, she would retaliate mercilessly. This made him hesitate for a long time, his mouth full of arguments, but he couldn't hold them back.
When he saw Luo Min entering the back room, he reached out and grabbed a bunch of lychees, turned around and left. Aunt Chen was left calling him loudly from behind: "Baosheng, are you not going to eat?"
"I won't eat it! I can't eat it!"
Chen Baosheng came out of her office and walked blankly towards where she parked her car.
Come to think of it, I have been with Luo Min for nearly six years. Even when her husband was still alive, he accompanied her throughout the streets and alleys of the deep city, watched her get pregnant and gave birth, and accompanied her through the pain of losing her husband.
It can be said that after being together for so long, she really has never said an unpleasant word in front of him.
Although Chen Baosheng also knew that what she did today was entirely due to work needs, her attitude still made Chen Baosheng feel sour and uncomfortable.
