Guo Rusong is indeed a good salesman. At least he knows the company's business very well. Under Gao Ning's questioning, he almost told Gao Ning about the business the company has done with his fingers.
Gao Ning listened calmly and did not interrupt. Ruan Mei's big, beautiful eyes were full of curiosity. She had only worked as a clerk and odd jobs before, so she really didn't know much about a company like this that specialized in import and export business.
In fact, the business projects of this import and export company named Luo are very simple and can basically be summarized into two broad categories.
Building materials and daily necessities. Hong Kong Island's land is at a premium and real estate is booming, so a huge amount of building materials are needed. Where do the large amounts of cement, steel bars and sand come from?
More than 80% are imported. These sources are mainly concentrated in the mainland, and some are shipped from the sea, but they are also concentrated in Southeast Asia.
The import and export company surnamed Luo is too small to receive orders for steel and construction equipment. It has been transporting cement and some materials needed to build simple houses.
Each shipment was not very large, the largest did not exceed 20 million, and the smallest shipment was only over 800,000.
Another daily necessities project focuses on plastic products. After all, a small Hong Kong Island is home to millions of people and consumes a lot of plastic products. This is a good market.
It's a pity that Luo is smart, and others in the import and export industry are not fools. As soon as those colleagues in the import and export industry find out what kind of goods are profitable, they will rush to it and quickly lower the price.
The business surnamed Luo was small in scale and slow in collecting payments, and its competitiveness was not strong to begin with. Later, when someone targeted it, the business went from bad to worse.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for someone to deceive someone into spending a lot of money on a batch of unusable drugs. If Gao Ning hadn't interfered, he would have ended up vomiting blood and leaving the industry.
Gao Ning listened to the old salesman finish, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Do you have a list of old customers here?"
"Part of it!" Guo Rusong hesitated. Gao Ning nodded. He reached into his arms and took out a pile of banknotes. He counted out 30,000 yuan and placed it on the table next to him, tapping it with his fingers.
"I'll give you half a day off, unite the remaining employees in the company, find a few cleaners to clean the company inside and out, and seal up the information that should be sealed and the garbage that should be thrown away. From tomorrow on, you will take it with you A few capable subordinates will revisit the old customers according to the list. On the one hand, they will inquire about the recent needs, and on the other hand, they will check which companies are grabbing our business. I will give you one month's salary first. Finish things well, and I'll give you another month's salary as a bonus!" Guo Rusong looked at the pile of thousand-yuan bills, his eyes were a little straight, he couldn't help but licked his lips, and repeated in disbelief: " Are these all for us?"
"What good things are you thinking about? These are the salary and administrative expenses paid in advance to you. I won't ask how much each person's salary is and how much it costs for the time being. It's up to you to check! When the company gets back on track next month, there won't be such a good thing. Yes!" Gao Ning smiled and asked, "Can you do it?"
"No problem!" Guo Rusong nodded repeatedly, almost beating his chest and swearing a curse.
"Okay!" Gao Ning stood up and straightened his suit and turned to look at Ruan Mei. Ruan Mei was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a business card from his pocket as if he remembered something and handed it to Guo Rusong.
"After you get all this done, come find me here. By the way, how long is the lease term for the office here?"
"I don't know..." Guo Rusong looked confused. First of all, I was just a salesman and not the director of the logistics department. How could I know about such a problem.
Gao Ning was not surprised: "Remember to ask around when you have time! That's it, I'm waiting for your good news!" He reached out his hand. Guo Rusong was flattered and quickly stood up, stretched out his hands and gave a high twist.
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely get things done!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news!" Gao Ning smiled slightly and turned around and walked out. Ruan Mei glanced at Guo Rusong and quickly followed.
After going downstairs and getting in the car, Gao Ning leaned comfortably on the back seat and took out a cigarette to light.
"It's okay today, you can get off work!" Ruan Mei looked happy, and then asked: "What about your dinner?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I will solve it myself!" Gao Ning glanced at her and said,
"You are my secretary now, which is a proper high-level position in a large company. So in addition to caring about what I eat every day, you also take a look at what is missing in our newly established company. If there are suitable candidates around, you will be as down-to-earth as possible. Anyone who is willing to do the job can be introduced to work. Our new company is opening just when we need people."
"Oh! But I don't know many people, and even if I do, I don't know if he is willing to do it..."
"It's up to you to judge this. Is there anything else in Hong Kong that people don't have yet? Take your time!" The two of them were talking as the car drove to the downstairs of the public housing building.
Ruan Mei pushed the door open and got out of the car, stretched out her white and tender hands to wave goodbye to Gao Ning, and watched the concierge car slowly leave and disappear around the corner before letting out a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to turn around and go upstairs, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder.
"Amei? Is that you?" This sudden attack frightened Ruan Mei so much that she screamed and backed away, her little face instantly turning pale.
The instigator seemed to be startled by the scream, and said loudly: "It's me! I'm Fang Fang!" The speaker was a girl in her twenties.
Ruan Mei saw the appearance of the person clearly, and then she took a deep breath and pressed her chest hard to calm her heartbeat.
"Don't be so scary in broad daylight, okay? I was almost scared to death by you!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Fang Fang stuck out her tongue and apologized softly. Ruan Mei calmed down for a while before her expression returned to normal. She glanced helplessly at her recently made friend.
Shaking his head, with Fang Fang's support, the two of them walked side by side towards the public housing building.
"Amei, I almost didn't dare to recognize you just now. You look too urban. You look like a modern girl on the cover of a magazine! I just saw you getting out of a luxury car. Are you rich?" Before entering the elevator, Fang Fang could no longer hold back her curiosity. She asked questions that she had suppressed for a long time like a barrage of words.
"How can I get rich? I just found a new job!" Ruan Mei shook her head. She was actually a little proud of herself, but her personality was not public. She didn't know how to show off if she wanted to, and she was just instinctively modest when asked.
"What kind of job is so good that you are willing to buy such high-end clothes?"
"You are talking about this dress. I didn't buy it. It was issued by the company. It is considered work clothes and must be worn at work!"
"Wow, you're so good that you even give out clothes? Amei, where does your company work? Can you pick me up too? I also want to work in such a big company!" Fang Fang couldn't help but ask.
"This..." Ruan Mei hesitated. Fang Fang's eyes lit up. Looking at this girl's reaction... there was a way!
