Chapter 611: Retaking Control of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company

Chen Yang, letting someone as young as Lu Guojie take charge of the specific affairs of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company—is that appropriate?

Dad, Lu Guojie managed to revive the Dongjiang Textile Factory, and I'm optimistic he can achieve something at the meat industry company.

Then what do you think—will he help the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission move the meat industry company to Xingcheng?

You don't need to worry about that. Lu Guojie was recommended by the Governor, and he doesn't have strong ties to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Besides, I'm the Chairman; even if he wanted to ally with the SASAC, he couldn't get past me.

Alright, then we'll discuss it in detail when you get home.

Chen Yang could understand Lin Jianguo's feelings. If Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company were relocated to Xingcheng, Qingshui City would not only lose a listed company but also suffer a large loss in annual fiscal tax revenue.

As Mayor, Lin Jianguo certainly does not want Qingshui City's interests to be harmed.

But in Chen Yang's view, the key to Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company's future affiliation lies not with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, but with Liu Jianghua.

If Liu Jianghua insists on moving Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company to Xingcheng, then even if Kong Jie and Lin Jianguo object, it would be useless.

From Chen Yang's observation, at least for now Liu Jianghua's interest is not very high,

After his call with Lin Jianguo ended, Chen Yang drove to Xingcheng Airport to pick up Deng Jiaming. Deng Jiaming wasn't alone; he was accompanied by a stylish female companion. Judging by her age, she looked to be in her early twenties.

"Deng Zong, your romantic fortune is not shallow!" Chen Yang exclaimed. It seems Zhu Zhu's assessment of Deng Jiaming was spot on.

"Director Chen, when it comes to romantic fortune, I can't compare to you." Deng Jiaming had inquired about Chen Yang through Zhu Zhu; hearing that he was simultaneously dating three great beauties, his admiration surged like a mighty river, endless and continuous.

Of course, Deng Jiaming admired even more Chen Yang's ability to accumulate wealth. In just two years, without leverage, starting with twenty million US dollars in the US stock market, he reached hundreds of billions of dollars, creating a miracle in Hong Kong's financial world!

This time he came to the mainland also wanting to learn up close Chen Yang's skill at creating wealth, to lay a foundation for a comeback in Hong Kong's financial scene.

Chen Yang didn't want to discuss his personal life with Deng Jiaming; after returning a smile, he got straight to the point: "Deng Zong, I'm an outsider in the shoe business. From now on, I'll entrust all company affairs to you."

Deng Jiaming had long known Chen Yang's habit of being a hands-off manager; he immediately reminded him: "Director Chen, you also know I'm not good at socializing. Handling internal company affairs is no problem for me. For external business, you'll still need to find someone more capable."

Chen Yang was actually a bit surprised that a playboy mingling among the flowers would be bad at socializing. Fortunately, this flaw of his wasn't a big issue here. "Deng Zong, after the company is established, the initial stage will only take Nike OEM orders. Sales is something you don't need to worry about. Once operations stabilize, when we later do our own brand, we can have the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform handle external sales."

Deng Jiaming had also heard of the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform, but he remained doubtful about whether it could handle an order from a shoe company.

"Director Chen, your e-commerce platform may be popular domestically, but contracting a large shoe factory's annual order volume of tens of millions seems unrealistic, doesn't it?"

Chen Yang laughed and said: "Domestically there are over a hundred million netizens; if half of them visit the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform to buy shoes, our sales target will be met."

"Moreover, once our products go viral online, offline wholesalers and retailers will proactively come to us for orders. Future sales volume will only increase."

"Chen Zong, is what you're saying really true? Over a hundred million people in the mainland actually go online?" Deng Jiaming's face filled with astonishment; he could hardly believe what he heard.

In his entrenched view, aside from a few major cities, the mainland remains relatively backward elsewhere.

He imagined the mainland as having rudimentary infrastructure, low technological level, and people living very traditional lifestyles.

But if over a hundred million people are already online, that means the mainland's Internet penetration is already quite high!

"Deng Zong, our country has over ten billion people, with urban population over six hundred million. A base of a hundred million netizens is actually not high; there's still great growth potential. So…" Chen Yang's expression suddenly turned solemn; he earnestly reminded Deng Jiaming: "You must never underestimate the sales capability of the e-commerce platform. Our shoe factory will also need to set up an e-commerce sales department in the future."

Deng Jiaming curiously asked Chen Yang: "Director Chen, even if there are a hundred million netizens, domestically there are also so many shoe factories, many of them old brands—how can we guarantee that half of the netizens will buy our shoes?"

Chen Yang explained to him: "Domestically there are many shoe brands, but on the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform we are the host! As long as we do more traffic promotion and run more promotional activities, our sales will definitely be better than those of other brand companies."

Deng Jiaming instantly grasped Chen Yang's meaning. As long as the e-commerce platform focuses on promoting Old Hundreds brand shoes, even if netizens' first choice is to buy other brands' shoes, it will leave an impression in their minds. Over time, Old Hundreds brand shoes may not be their first choice, but at least they will be their second choice.

This is the platform's advantage!

If his shoe factory had this advantage, how could it have fallen into bankruptcy……

Of course, what Chen Yang said was merely a hypothetical possibility. Whether such an effect can be achieved still needs to be proven by time.

Deng Jiaming secretly decided that upon arriving in Qingshui, he would definitely pay close attention to the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform.

Because they still had to wait for Lu Guojie to go together to take up his post at Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company, Chen Yang had his bodyguard drive Lu Guojie and his little girlfriend to Qingshui City.

After they left, Chen Yang called Zhang Linlin again, asking her to book a suite for Lu Guojie at the Qingshui City Grand Hotel, and urged her to make sure she accompanied him to familiarize himself with the environment of Qingshui City first.

Although Qingshui City is developing quickly, compared to Hong Kong it is still far behind. Chen Yang estimated that Deng Jiaming would need a long time to adapt to Qingshui City's environment.

In mid-July, Chen Yang finally returned to Qingshui City together with Lu Guojie and Huo Yunyan.

At the board meeting of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company, Chen Yang's appointment as chairman was approved unanimously. At the same meeting, the board nominated Lu Guojie as executive vice president, specifically responsible for the company's internal daily management.

After the meeting ended, the appointments of Chen Yang and Lu Guojie were announced on the official website of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company.

But Chen Yang never expected that the news of him retaking the chairmanship of Old Hundreds Meat Industry Limited Company would actually cause the stock of ST Heavenly Opening to hit the daily limit up again!
