Chapter 698: Following the Boss's Thoughts

"Hello, Dad." When the phone was connected, Yang Dan's voice was very low.

"What's going on? What trouble have you gotten into again?" Yang Dingtian asked with a gloomy face.

"It's unfair, Dad. I didn't get into trouble. I just bought a Chinese painting at an auction, worth 30 million. It's perfect for hanging in your office. I also have my eyes on a Qing Dynasty porcelain..."

"You idiot, why did you buy these things?" Yang Dingtian got angry after hearing this and started cursing.

This made Zhang Quandan, who was not far away, subconsciously slow down and turn over, and the other employees also shifted their eyes over.

Seeing so many people staring at him, Yang Dingtian could only walk away.

"Dad, didn't you ask me to buy something valuable?" Yang Dan's voice sounded very aggrieved on the phone.

"I told you to buy foreign stuff, why did you buy Chinese paintings and Qing Dynasty porcelain?"

"Does it make any difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. The value of foreign things is even more uncertain in the eyes of those stupid experts in China. In short, don't mess around. Just follow my instructions."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Dingtian, who was in a bad mood, sighed silently.

I wish the son could be as capable as the daughter.

Magic City Dragon Treasure Auction House.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, for buying the Northern Song Dynasty painting "Dragon Picture" for 30 million." A fat young man with single eyelids sat next to Yang Dan and kept congratulating him.

"I didn't expect there were so many hidden rich second-generations in the country. I thought I was doing pretty well in Shanghai, but I didn't expect this auction to broaden my horizons." On the other side of Yang Dan, a tall young man wearing sunglasses and with tinfoil perms exclaimed.

"I wonder what Mr. Yang is going to buy next?" Single Eyelid asked again.

"I'll buy whatever is expensive. I have plenty of money." Yang Dan felt a little proud, as if he had forgotten the scolding from his father just now.

"Where did you come from, A Xiang? I still say I'm rich. This is Shanghai, no one dares to call themselves rich." At this time, a discordant voice came from the back row.

Yang Dan turned his head immediately after hearing that. It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it, but when he did, he was so angry that he almost died.

In the back row, a white-haired, shaggy-faced young man was hugging a woman, sitting there with a weird look on his face.

As for why Yang Dan was so angry, it was because the woman was Zhang Lili.

"Zhang Lili, you bitch. You didn't answer my call. Turns out you were with someone else." Yang Dan started cursing.

"I can follow whoever I want, and it's none of your business. This is Shanghai, not that little place called Qilin. Why are you being so arrogant? Right, Brother Ma." After Zhang Lili finished speaking, she kept acting coquettishly in Baimao's arms.

"Lili is right. It's really funny that a country bumpkin also comes to the auction." Baimao reached out his hand and stuffed it into Zhang Lili's clothes and kneaded them, while constantly mocking Yang Dan.

"You are the country bumpkin, your whole family is country bumpkins. I just spent 30 million to buy a painting, do you have money? You people in Shanghai don't have money but only have a sense of superiority." When Yang Dan thought of the money he brought today, his back was straighter than a flagpole.

"Hey, only a fool would pay for that crappy painting. We Shanghai people don't have money? We don't even know how much our house is worth. The toilet in my house is made of gold, do you understand? See, this is the diamond necklace I bought for Lili. Have you ever seen such a big diamond?" said the white-haired man, holding a thumb-sized diamond necklace in his hand.

"Hahaha, Zhang Lili, you are such a fool. Do you know how much such a big diamond costs? It must be fake. Who would be so stupid as to spend a lot of money to decorate a second-hand car? It's just like inlaying diamonds on a Peugeot." Yang Dan is also a rich man. He laughed immediately when he saw the diamond necklace.

Indeed, the diamond was fake, bought by a man to fool a woman, but Zhang Lili didn't think so.

As long as many people say it is real, she believes it is real. People around Baimao say that this necklace is valuable.

"Yang Dan, just because you don't have money to buy it doesn't mean others don't have money to buy it. And who are you talking about whose car is a second-hand car? You are not much better." Zhang Lili pointed at Yang Dan angrily and scolded him.

"Wow, it's so lively." At this time, a few young men came and sat next to them.

One of them also had a very unhappy expression when he saw Zhang Lili. He was Tan Guang, who had snatched things with Chen Xi at the Yuezhou auction last time. The people around him were also the men and women at the last auction.

Now with her ex-ex-boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, and current boyfriend all sitting together, Zhang Lili suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Okay, the break is over, let's continue the auction!" Suddenly, the host on the stage spoke.

"Country bumpkin, you're not convinced, then let's see who has more money."

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

Seeing that Baimao continued to provoke him, Yang Dan also became angry.

Soon, several young men at the auction started raising their placards.

Huajing Hotel.

"Fuck, Brother Xi, how much money did this woman cost your dad?" Looking at the various photos showing off wealth on Weibo, Yin Anwei couldn't help but swear.

"Who knows? She bought a house, a car, and held such an expensive wedding before, and now she's shopping in Hong Kong again!" Chen Xi was speechless when he looked at the photos of Zhang Xuan showing off her bags and cars.

Chen Yifeng, who is usually such a stingy person, actually bought a lot of things for Zhang Xuan. He has never been able to understand it from his previous life to now.

"This kind of woman is stupid at first glance, and it seems like she can do nothing except buying things."

"She is showing off to me, trying to prove that she is very favored. Although she is stupid, she can cheat people out of money, and that's enough. I don't know how much my stupid dad will be cheated out of in the future. Okay, let's go to bed." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he stretched and put out the cigarette in his hand.

Huajing, Aba Aba Company.

Although night has fallen, the building is still brightly lit, and the high-intensity working atmosphere of a large enterprise is fully displayed at this moment.

"Our Aba Aba Group is going to build a warehousing network system this year, and work with major partners to invest heavily in the domestic logistics industry. I call this plan the 'Taobao Big Logistics Plan'. It includes the Taobao Logistics Platform, the logistics partner system, and the logistics service standard system..." Feng Yun was talking about his future vision in the conference room. "Pa pa pa." Several young people sitting in their chairs applauded.

The old employees of Aba Aba looked down on them.

Feng Yun has a characteristic: after he puts forward something, he hopes to hear the opinions of those below him, rather than just sitting there flattering and applauding.

And the opinions you put forward must be in line with his wishes, otherwise don't speak or applaud.

These young people are all recent returnees from prestigious universities who were introduced to the company through the association.

Feng Yun has always been an idol for most young people. Although these fledgling graduates are all gifted ones, when they meet the big guys, they can't help but feel a deep admiration for them.

Looking at the group of young people in front of him, Feng Yun was a little unhappy, but after all, these people had just joined the company not long ago, so he still said patiently: "What do you think? You are all graduates from various famous universities. You can make full use of the advanced ideas you learned abroad to put forward your own opinions."

"I think we should start with data analysis to accurately identify market demand and user behavior patterns and ensure that our logistics network can efficiently cover hot spots and potential growth points." A young man with glasses and a handsome face spoke first.

"This cycle takes too long." Aba Aba's old employees disagreed with this idea.

"Technological innovation is important, but what cannot be ignored is that we need to build a strong partner network to ensure the stability and reliability of logistics services. This includes in-depth cooperation with express companies and warehousing companies, as well as the establishment of a strict supplier management system. I think we should focus on those small logistics companies. Their living space is being squeezed by large logistics companies. If we reach out and integrate them all at this time, the cost may be the lowest." A tall and thin young man in a suit looked at Feng Yun.

This sentence touched Feng Yun's heart, because he thought the same thing. He looked at everyone and nodded: "Well, you are indeed a top student from a prestigious school. This idea is indeed good. But data analysis is also necessary. The two should be combined into one..."

The old employees who were familiar with Feng Yun all understood that the boss had agreed to this plan, so naturally they couldn't say much.

Many people used to speak at company meetings, but many veterans disagreed with Feng Yun, and ended up saying goodbye. Interestingly, these people have achieved remarkable results after starting their own businesses.

After the meeting was over and the old employees left, Feng Yun looked at these young faces and said, "Aba Aba has been around for many years. Some people rely on their status as veterans and are lazy all day long. Every time there is a meeting, they can't even fart, and they just wait for me to come up with ideas. I paid them to help the company solve problems, but now they want me to solve the problems. It's really funny. You are all young people, and you don't have the laziness that they have. Don't be afraid of saying the wrong thing, as long as you dare to say it."

Feng Yun's behavior is no different from that of other older bosses. He likes to let his subordinates speak freely, but if the opinions he hears are inconsistent with what he thinks, they will be rejected.

He lets his employees speak not because he really wants to hear good ideas, but to hear that someone has the same ideas as him, so that he can be more confident in his own judgment.

Although most bosses do this, employees still feel disgusted. You asked me to speak, but when I spoke out, I was rejected again, which was very devastating.

"Mr. Feng, I see that other platforms have also been using third-party logistics. If we start to engage in logistics, other platforms will definitely follow suit, and then it will become a logistics war. The logistics costs will definitely be driven lower and lower, and the big fish will eat the small fish. If the small fish are eaten up, the logistics costs will definitely rebound to an unprecedented height, which is not a good thing for the platform." The young man pushed his glasses and said.

"Heh, this is China, you may not know the market situation very well. You can't eat all the small fish, even if logistics is basically not profitable, there are still people who will rush into this industry. Just post some news about how to make a lot of money in the logistics industry on the Internet, and I guarantee that a lot of people will come to do it." Feng Yun sneered. He thought for a while and said, "The logistics war you mentioned is real. I heard that Su Ning and a certain Dong are also going to do their own logistics. By the way, where is your president?"

"The president is handling some matters in the association. I heard that the vice president is back, and it seems that they had an argument with each other." The young man who had previously proposed the idea of ​​logistics integration spoke.

"Oh, your president is really something. Can't he be more open-minded? What's the good of fighting each other? This kind of situation will not happen in our Aba Aba. All the employees in the company are as close as family." Feng Yun said while observing the expressions of these people. He wanted to separate this group of people from Linxi completely.

Seeing that no one spoke, he continued, "Ababa is different from other companies. Our company arranges positions entirely according to personal ability. You don't have to worry about not having a chance to get ahead because of your lack of experience. As long as you can make great contributions to the company, you can definitely get a very high position. Of course, you don't have to worry about the self-righteous attitude of those old employees. I don't care how old your experience is. If you are lazy and gluttonous, you will be fired."

Feng Yun's words touched the hearts of several people. This was what they were worried about.

They have all just graduated and have long heard that the domestic workplace is full of social etiquette and the drinking culture in business talks are things that international students are rather disgusted with.

Now that the boss has spoken, these new employees are as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood, with their minds full of beautiful ideas about the future.

"Mr. Feng, I think the future belongs to the era of technology. The life cycle of e-commerce platforms will not be long. The group should adjust its strategy and use the funds for other things." A young man suddenly became bolder after hearing what Feng Yun said.

"The group is developing products such as Aba Cloud, which are all high-tech." Feng Yun smiled.

"I mean don't just invest in the Internet, but also focus on other high-tech companies on the market, and it's best to buy them directly before they develop."

"Yeah, that makes sense. So what high-tech products do you have your eyes on?"

Upon hearing this, the young man felt that he was being reused. He stood up excitedly and walked to the blackboard. He picked up a pen and wrote a series of unfamiliar things on it.

The next day, Shenzhen.

"Oh my god, I'm really going to vomit after flying so many times these days." Yin Anwei kept complaining as soon as he got off the airport.

They went to bed early yesterday, but they both rushed to the airport early in the morning, so they didn't have much time to sleep.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Get two plates of rice rolls, eat them and then go talk about business." Chen Xi pointed to a snack bar.

"What products are we going to see this time? Pesticides, fertilizers or automobile factories?" Yin Anwei thought of what Chen Xi had told him at last.

"Neither. I brought you here to buy toys today."

"Buy toys? I'm not a child, why should I buy toys?"

"You'll know in a moment, boss. Give me two servings of beef rice rolls." Chen Xi blinked, turned around and ordered two meals.

In front of an office building not far from the snack shop.

"We have attracted investment, a full two million!" A young man wearing black-framed glasses and looking a little unkempt shouted excitedly.

"That's great! I don't have to work in a warehouse anymore!"

"But our products are too niche and can only be sold in the model industry. The funds come from the HKUST and will run out sooner or later. If the product is not commercially viable, they will definitely stop investing."

"This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, I think it is a good thing." The three people around the man with glasses had mixed feelings on their faces.

"Okay, stop saying these words that might shake our morale. Let's go take a look at our new office." The man with glasses waved at the three people and walked into the office building.

The other two looked at the bags in their hands and followed.

"Wait for me, we don't need the company sign anymore!" The person at the end of the team hurriedly picked up a crude sign from a nearby trash can, on which was clearly written "Xiaojiang Innovation Technology Co., Ltd.". (End of this chapter)
