Chapter 419: Company Department Expansion Meeting

Chen Yang refused Huang Bai Ming's invitation. The other party is single and can do whatever he wants. Chen Yang is already married; if he still goes to Heavenly Human World to fool around, he won't have a good life at home.

You should know, sitting beside him is Yexin, a woman who loves to cause trouble. If he dares to step into Heavenly Human World, this woman could fabricate several versions of a scandalous story.

After eating, Chen Yang drove straight to Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company. Shen Anna had only slept two hours before going to work, and he felt a bit uneasy.

When he arrived at the company, Shen Anna was holding a senior management meeting. She rested her chin on her hand while listening to everyone's work reports, looking not very energetic.

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Shen Anna immediately stood up, yawning, and said, "Boss, you take over this meeting; I really can't hold on, I'll go nap for a while." After saying that, she returned to her own office.

Chen Yang sat in Shen Anna's seat, looking at the documents on the table while asking the HR supervisor Luo Xue beside him, "What is the agenda for today's meeting?"

Luo Xue said, "Boss, today's meeting has two topics. First is department expansion. The company's business volume keeps growing, and the workload of each department has already exceeded capacity. Especially the Internet and Logistics departments, because service can't keep up, they have faced customer complaints for a whole week straight."

"The second topic is to expand the company's product business. Many customers say our online and offline platform products are too single and hope we can add more products, especially those from outside Dongjiang Province."

Chen Yang glanced at the data Shen Anna left behind and found the problem indeed serious.

The products sold by Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company are basically all from within Dongjiang Province. Out-of-province products are only fruit, and moreover common fruits like apples and pears.

Since the online sales platform targets the whole country, we need to add agricultural products from all over the nation into the sales chain.

After thinking, he told Luo Xue: "The staffing shortage in the Internet and Logistics departments can be solved first, but training must be completed before they start work. Moreover, considering the demand for out-of-province business, the Business Department also needs to increase personnel."

Luo Xue, a bit embarrassed, said to Chen Yang: "Boss, our headquarters already has over a hundred employees; if we hire more, there won't be many spots left to arrange. We can't have everyone crammed together to work."

Chen Yang said to her: "The headquarters building is already completed; later you discuss with Anna sister, first transfer some people from each department to work there."

Then she said to Qian Duo Duo: "Manager Qian, go talk to the investors of Xinhe Building. Ask whether they are selling this building; if they are, we'll buy the whole building."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the meeting room fell silent. They work themselves to death every day, merely dreaming of owning a house like those in Sunshine Garden Community. Yet Chen Yang opens his mouth to buy an entire commercial building in the prime district of Xingcheng. The gap is too huge.

Qian Duo Duo exclaimed, "Boss, buying the whole building will cost at least a hundred million; you're really generous!"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "You all work hard; when the company grows big and strong, I will also give generous rewards."

Qian Duo Duo immediately said with a grin, "Boss, could you reward me with a house in Sunshine Garden Community?"

Chen Yang readily said, "No problem; when the company successfully goes public, everyone present will be rewarded with a house."

The meeting room immediately burst into warm applause.

After enjoying a round of applause, Chen Yang raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. Then he said to Business Department Manager Wang Ziqiang: "Manager Wang, your next task is to go to several southern provinces and cities with abundant agricultural products for research, striving to double the company's product variety within three months."

Wang Ziqiang said confidently, "Boss, rest assured. I have already contacted some important agricultural product distributors there; I can finish the task in at most a month."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Manager Wang, our company operates on a low-profit sales model; it's better to deal directly with the primary market. I suggest you make a trip yourself; if conditions are suitable, we can also set up a branch and a transfer warehouse there."

"Okay!" Wang Ziqiang nodded. The company's out-of-province expansion business had been planned since last year; the branch in Shencheng had already been built. As a company veteran, he was not surprised by Chen Yang's ambition.

Chen Yang also said to Logistics Department Manager He Yifei: "Manager He, arrange a few experienced people to go with Manager Wang to get familiar with the routes in the south."

He Yifei asked Chen Yang, a bit puzzled, "Boss, hasn't our out-of-province business been entrusted to Baolin Logistics?"

Chen Yang explained, "Out-of-province business is a crucial part of the company's future development. We cannot rely entirely on Baolin Logistics; if they encounter any trouble, we would be passive. Therefore, establishing our own out-of-province logistics system is a must at this stage."

"Alright, I will personally lead a team to go south with Manager Wang." Seeing Chen Yang attach great importance to the out-of-province logistics system, He Yifei's attitude immediately turned serious.

Chen Yang finally turned his gaze to Luo Hao and Zhong Feiyan: "Manager Luo, Manager Zhong, your Internet Department's current task is the most arduous; if you have any difficulties, bring them up directly, and I will try my best to meet your demands."

Luo Hao said, "Boss, the user count of the online sales platform has surged; the existing servers are already a bit overloaded. Moreover, technically we need to add five to six more members."

Chen Yang nodded and then asked Zhong Feiyan: "Manager Zhong, do you need support on your side?"

Zhong Feiyan said, "Boss, I hope to add twenty more online promoters and twenty platform customer service staff."

Chen Yang frowned slightly; with so many people, the headquarters definitely couldn't accommodate them. After thinking, he told Zhong Feiyan: "If we need to hire that many at once, I suggest your Internet Sales Department first move to the headquarters."

Upon hearing that, Zhong Feiyan said, a bit embarrassed, "The headquarters is a bit far from the urban area; commuting might be inconvenient."

Chen Yang said, "No problem; the company will arrange several shuttle buses to pick you up and drop you off. Moreover, those who work there will receive higher subsidies than those working here."

Zhong Feiyan still hesitated. She whispered to Chen Yang, "Boss, from the headquarters to the urban area it's at least a half-hour drive; picking up my child for school is not convenient."

Chen Yang understood Zhong Feiyan's family situation, after all he had personally invited her to come. He immediately said, "Manager Zhong, don't worry. Later I will discuss with General Manager Shen and arrange a dedicated car for you to facilitate picking up your child."

Upon hearing that, Zhong Feiyan said, a bit embarrassed, "Boss, that wouldn't be appropriate; only you and General Manager Shen have dedicated cars in the company—how could I enjoy the same treatment as you?"
