103. Take time(1/2)
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Dongcheng, who was watching TV in the living room, heard the doorbell.
Zhang Lu got up from Chen Dongcheng's arms and went to open the door.
"Dr. Chen, the car has been purchased, the total price is 1.9 million, and all procedures have been completed.
The 4S shop will give you the temporary license plate first, and I will help you find car owners who are interested in selling the beautiful license plate."
Xie Jingyu handed the car keys to Zhang Lu, walked in, closed the door, and stood at the door.
Chen Dongcheng nodded and said casually: "Anyway, I only do it occasionally. I would like to customize a few suits. Do you have any good recommendations?"
Xie Jingyu pondered for a moment and said: "For customized suits, I personally recommend Anderson and Sheppard from the UK. Kiton's k50 series is also a good choice."
Anderson and Shepard?
It seems that Chen Dongcheng has been mentioned by friends before. It is a national treasure-level luxury customization brand in the UK.
"Do they have a custom shop in Modu?"
"No, but we can spend money to invite the master tailors from their store, but you may need to pay a certain amount of compensation."
"That's no problem. You can tell them that I will customize a few more sets. As for the fabric, I will choose the top quality."
Chen Dongcheng has some knowledge of these customized suit brands. The prices of different fabrics vary greatly.
"You tell them that if they can send someone here, I can reimburse the first class flight and pay an extra ten thousand pounds as compensation.
But the person sent must be the top master tailor in their shop."
Chen Dongcheng didn't know much about suit customization. He had gritted his teeth and bought a mid-range suit before, spending thousands of dollars on it.
But I also know that if you want to practice advanced customization, you must find a reliable tailor.
Otherwise, the finished product will definitely be different from your imagination.
"I understand, then I will contact them as soon as possible."
"Well, as for the license plate, you can buy any one first. You don't have to buy a fancy number."
"OK."
Xie Jingyu thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Zeng called me today and said that employee recruitment has been completed and work has started. When will you go over and take a look?"
Chen Dongcheng checked the time and went to Zeng Yiming's place to have a look. He just happened to go out for a meal in the evening.
"Then let me know now."
"I'll contact Mr. Zeng right away."
Zhang Lu handed the car keys to Chen Dongcheng and asked, "Can I accompany you?"
"Go and change quickly, it's too late and we're stuck in traffic again."
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Lu happily ran to the cloakroom.
Chen Dongcheng smiled and waved to Xie Jingyu: "Jingyu, come and sit."
Xie Jingyu nodded, put on a pair of disposable slippers and walked over, sitting upright and looking directly at Chen Dongcheng.
"Have the company procedures and licenses been completed?"
"It's done. The intermediary that Mr. Zeng found, and the people in the legal and financial departments were all recruited by me myself. You can rest assured about this.
I will check with them regularly in the future and then report to you."
Chen Dongcheng and Xie Jingyu chatted for a while, mainly to understand the situation at Zeng Yiming's side.
The offices in the Global Center are all ready-made, and you don’t even need to buy tables and chairs. You can just hire people and start work.
The first task when the company is established is to develop the app.
In the era of mobile Internet, it’s still a waste if you don’t have an app.
Xiaohongshu is currently suffering from the disadvantage of not having an app, and it is impossible to accumulate users just by relying on some PDF files.
The early app does not need to be too elaborate, but it must be faster than the one on Xiaohongshu.
The employees will definitely suffer. Chen Dongcheng can give them a salary increase, but he must not allow Xiaohongshu to grow unchecked.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Lu also changed her clothes and came over.
"Honey, let's go."
Chen Dongcheng smiled and nodded: "Let's go, by the way, Jingyu, you go buy some clothes in my size tonight. It's not a big deal if the wardrobe is empty."
"Okay, as for the suit, I don't think there is any need to buy any more.
I suggest you buy more casual and sportswear."
"You can buy it as you see fit. Just give me the total amount of the specific consumption."
Chen Dongcheng was too lazy to bother and directly transferred 500,000 to Xie Jingyu.
"Use the money to buy things first and fill up my wardrobe as much as possible."
Xie Jingyu responded, feeling that the new boss was different in his heart.
Working as a secretary in a state-owned enterprise is different from working in a private enterprise like this.
The boss would never be as extravagant as Chen Dongcheng.
In other words, in Xie Jingyu's impression, someone can easily buy clothes worth hundreds of thousands.
That is, only those business elites worth hundreds of millions can do it.
The square appearance of the Mercedes-Benz Grand G made Zhang Lu feel a little disgusted.
I also suddenly understood why Chen Dongcheng had to add a sentence not to change the car paint.
The obsidian black car paint and platinum white interior look quite pleasing to Chen Dongcheng.
Mercedes-Benz's interior is quite passable, and in terms of quality, it's fine as long as it doesn't hit the big pitfalls of domestically produced cars.
With stops and starts along the way, the Mercedes-Benz G-G is not as lethal as a sports car, and the traffic in Shanghai is indeed too bad.
When we got to the Global Center, it took half an hour. Normally it would take ten minutes.
After parking the car, take the elevator straight to the 60th floor.
After walking a few steps out of the elevator, you will see the logo of Xiaolanshu, including the registered name of the company, which is also called Xiaolanshu Technology Co., Ltd.
Chen Dongcheng walked into the company, and the front desk saw Xie Jingyu following Chen Dongcheng respectfully.
Little did he know that the person in front of him was the boss of the company.
"Hello, Director Chen!"
The two girls at the front desk said hello quickly. Their appearance was considered passable, with a real appearance level of 80 points.
The front desk is the face of the company, and Zeng Yiming is quite attentive.
A girl at the front desk came over. She had an oval face.
"My name is Wang Xi, and I just joined the company the day before yesterday."
Wang Xi introduced herself and found that Chen Dongcheng had no interest in asking more questions, so she quickly led the way.
Walking into the office area, the workstations are divided in an orderly manner, and each workstation has employees busy with what they are doing.
Wang Xigang wanted to introduce Chen Dongcheng, but Chen Dongcheng stopped him with his eyes.
"How many people are there in the company now?"
"There are a total of 120 people, of which the people in the technical department are the largest, accounting for 60 people. They are all recruited by Mr. Zeng himself."
Chen Dongcheng nodded slightly. At this time, Zeng Yiming also received a call from the front desk. When he walked out of the office, he saw Chen Dongcheng visiting.
"Everyone, please be quiet. This is Director Chen of our company."
Zeng Yiming smiled at Chen Dongcheng and took the lead in applauding.
Other employees also clapped along and quietly observed Chen Dongcheng.
At first glance, this Director Chen is too young.
At second glance, this Mr. Chen is a bit handsome.
After everyone applauded, Chen Dongcheng said, "Welcome to join Little Blue Book. I believe this will be the place where everyone's dreams start.
I have always had confidence in Mr. Zeng’s ability. The company’s current important task is to develop and test the app as soon as possible.
The time may be a bit tight, but the company will ensure that every employee who works hard will receive satisfactory returns, and generous year-end bonuses will be waiting for everyone."
For Internet companies, funding is always the biggest problem.
Without enough funds, we can't even pay employees' salaries, let alone salary increases and year-end bonuses.
What Chen Dongcheng said was very simple, but the employees were very enthusiastic.
They like bosses who are so generous to their employees.
The end of the year is coming soon, it would be so comfortable to work harder and take home the year-end bonus for a few more months.
