Chapter 67 Packing and Throwing Away

Chapter 67 Packing and Throwing Away
Cheng Liang looked at Xu Mingyuan's back and followed him.

He knew very well that as the nominal general manager, he actually did nothing. He was just a figurehead. When he encountered problems, he would go to Xu Mingyuan for solutions.

Not everyone will take the people around them with them when they are making money, not to mention that he was not familiar with Xu Mingyuan at that time.

Cheng Liang admired his own vision immensely. He could tell at a glance in the crowd that this boy was no ordinary person.

Of course, Cheng Liang had forgotten that he was the only person in the Internet cafe who didn't play games.

The simplest reason why Xu Mingyuan has such a halo is that he shared the money.

Cheng Liang himself held a 15% stake, which meant he had received more than 3 million yuan.

His father's annual income is at most this, and he has to pay off part of the loan, plus make connections, so the remaining money is only more than one million. In less than half a year, Cheng Liang has earned the money that his father would need to save in two years.

This money is completely at your disposal and has far more impact than your own savings. These are two completely different states of mind.

Putting aside the dividends from the technology, Cheng Liang calculated that Xu Mingyuan's net worth was at least 20 million, much more impressive than his father.

But seeing that he was shocked, Xu Mingyuan just said, "What can you do with just two thousand yuan? A sports car costs several million."

Cheng Liang only thought that owning a Harley motorcycle was the fulfillment of his childhood dream. As for the future, he had never thought about such a long-term goal.

Twenty million may be a lot for others, but it is nothing to Xu Mingyuan.

When the old man took him to do real estate, his wealth increased exponentially from 08 to 09 alone. He had already experienced the carnival of windfall.

It’s just that he had a family background back then, but now he has to start from scratch.

But 20 million was far from enough for Xu Mingyuan, even if he invested all of it in the stock market.

If Xu Mingyuan knew how to trade short-term, it would be fine, as he could make several times the profit in a short period of time. But he only remembered long-term stocks, and those of relatively well-known companies, whose cycles would take at least a year to double.

To be on the safe side, Xu Mingyuan only added a small amount of leverage so that a slight fluctuation would not lead to a margin call.

This thing is just a means of making money, not the capital for building a career. Xu Mingyuan has a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary. A real gambler will never play a card he is not sure of.

There are more than a dozen people sitting in the small conference room of more than ten square meters.

Xu Mingyuan did not sit in the main seat, but sat next to Cheng Liang and listened to him speak first.

I have told him everything that needs to be explained, it all depends on how he explains it.

"Next year, the company will have a rule that all sales managers are not allowed to develop new regions. They will all stop and just maintain old customers."

Cheng Liang released the news while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

There were a few young men who were also smoking, and they were stunned when they heard this.

One of them said, "Manager Cheng, you are doing well, why don't you develop it?"

"What's it called? Yes, strategic retrenchment. It's happening too fast and too chaotic. We can't manage it."

"Why can't we handle this? It's so important to occupy the market first, and we can sort it out later."

"How much is a lot? As long as it's enough, it's fine. Why are you talking so much?" Cheng Liang said.

"I have a bunch of salesmen who need to eat. If I don't work, where will they get food?"

One of the sales managers said.

It was approaching the New Year, and they all had some complaints when they were dragged to Jiangcheng for a meeting late at night.

It was originally a small company, with a group of young people, and the rules and regulations were not perfect. In addition, they were salesmen who were used to freedom, so there were no rules to follow.

Listening to their endless chatter, Xu Mingyuan took over and said, "It's not impossible to develop, but the serial numbers of the new numbers are limited, and it's impossible to supply you with unlimited numbers."

Except for the first batch of sales people, the seven or eight people who came later had never met Xu Mingyuan many times, but they all knew that he was the person in charge here.

"That's not necessary." said one of them.

Xu Mingyuan did not answer, but continued to announce a piece of news, "In three months at most, the company will cancel all business related to software promotion."

"Brother Xu, why did you cancel it when it was going well?"

After a moment's silence, someone asked.

Cheng Liang angrily said, "How many times have I told you to keep a low profile? Don't go to areas where there are game companies to promote your products. It's fine if you didn't listen, but some people dare to put up posters. What are you looking at? I'm talking about you, Feng Tao!"

"Manager Cheng, we are also doing this for the good of the company," Feng Tao said.

Xu Mingyuan frowned and threw the mineral water in front of him to the middle of the table, making a muffled "dong" sound. Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Xu Mingyuan continued: "If anyone says another word, go to the finance department to collect their salary and get out. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Cheng Liang has no management skills. Even after he has been in charge for such a long time, the business is still like a vegetable market and no one takes him seriously at all.

Since the decision has been made to stop the business, sales is no longer the boss to be relied upon.

Cheng Liang didn't even realize this truth and he was still talking nonsense.

At this time, only Li Yunfeng was listening carefully. When he saw Xu Mingyuan looking at him, he just nodded in greeting, without any change of emotion.

Hearing that his personal interests were about to be taken away, he could do it without any complaints. This was why Xu Mingyuan would entrust things to him.

After hearing what Xu Mingyuan said, everyone fell silent. A few people showed dissatisfaction, but no one got angry.

Xu Mingyuan ignored him and continued, "Don't worry, the dividends you should give us won't be reduced, it's just that the growth rate has not increased."

"You should all know that what we do won't last long. Someone will come knocking on our door one day."

"I know you think it doesn't matter if you run away, because there will always be someone to cover up for you. This idea is not wrong and it is also true. But you have been doing promotion for so long and are all elites in the company. It would be a pity if you suddenly scatter like monkeys when the tree falls."

"Our next business is to promote games for major game companies. The online competition is very fierce, and the annual promotion fee is tens of millions, so there are many games that die suddenly, which is our opportunity for development."

"So if you want to do it for a long time, you have to do a legitimate career. The money will definitely not be as much as what you make now, but it is more stable and there are more opportunities."

"You have been running the market for such a long time, it's time to relax for a while. What you need to do now is to sort out the business under your hands and avoid mistakes in the future."

Then Xu Mingyuan mentioned some points that needed attention, and asked everyone to start the discussion and ask questions if they had any.

Half an hour later, seeing that fewer people were asking questions, Xu Mingyuan said, "Manager Cheng will notify you of the details. I can't stay in Jiangcheng today. Since so many people are here, let Manager Cheng take everyone to have fun. I would also like to thank everyone for their hard work this year."

After saying that, Xu Mingyuan asked Cheng Liang to open the package that had been prepared long ago, pour out the piles of red envelopes inside, and distribute them.

The red envelope is so small that it’s almost bursting with the money.

Someone checked and found out that it is an auspicious number 8888.

Although some of these people have a monthly income of over 100,000 yuan, the free money still makes everyone happy and all the depression in their hearts is swept away.

No matter what the future holds, there are few companies that would be more generous than making a lightning-fast move at this moment, and no one wants to lose a good job.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan winking at him, Li Yunfeng understood and left the crowd to stay alone.

"After the New Year holiday, take our company's financial statements and go to game companies to negotiate as soon as possible to see if any company has acquisition intentions. Look for more small and medium-sized companies, as large companies won't look down on this." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Li Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

"Good job."

Xu Mingyuan smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling him to catch up with the main group and not to delay the party.

Although he was half a head taller than Xu Mingyuan, Li Yunfeng still felt that he was half an inch shorter than him, and his mood was a little complicated.

Li Yunfeng clearly remembered that he was interviewed by Xu Mingyuan himself. At that time, Manager Cheng was still unfamiliar to him, which made him think that the two were just swindling.

But when Li Yunfeng saw that Xu Mingyuan seemed to see through his thoughts and didn't take it seriously, he finally decided to try his luck.

After that, he witnessed a startup company that didn't even have an office expanding at a very fast pace, with sales representatives spread all over the place. He had already seen that Xu Mingyuan was experienced and not at all as young and delicate as he appeared.

To be honest, Li Yunfeng has feelings for this company, but that doesn't matter now.

Xu Mingyuan had no intention of expanding the business, but rather packing it up and throwing it away, and the sooner the better.

Li Yunfeng understood that Xu Mingyuan came to Jiangcheng today to reassure everyone and prevent any sudden changes from happening, and to give everyone a warning first.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Mingyuan will be the only one who knows about it until the day of the sale.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan say hello to everyone and get into the taxi, Li Yunfeng felt that he was being a little rude. He wanted to chase after him but felt it was a little abrupt, so he stood there and watched the taxi leave.

Xu Mingyuan didn't care. He just told the driver the address and took out his cell phone.

Above is a text message from Xiao Yangzhi: Brother, what time will you be home? Do you want to have a midnight snack?

Little Yangzhi's ability to accept new things is average. He was clumsy in learning nine-key typing and didn't know how long he pressed the phone before he could type a complete sentence.

Xu Mingyuan was typing on the keyboard, and remembering that he hadn't eaten yet, he sent a text message: I've just gotten in the car, so I'll have a bowl of noodles.

At the end of January 04, Xu Mingyuan finally finished all his work and rushed back to Nanxi.
