Chapter 1275: We Have No Problem With Profitability
"Our profitability is not an issue. Over the past three years, our company's total gross profit has been nearly one billion, and our annual turnover has been growing steadily. Therefore, our company's liquidity is not an issue, and our profitability is not an issue either."
Liu Ruxi suppressed her inner anger and said, "Moreover, although we started late, and although my company is still located in the University Student Entrepreneurship Building, our ranking is no worse than some established companies."
"Heh, that is not necessarily the case." Chen Jing smiled and said, "Your company model caught the internet trend and just happened to hit a wave of popularity."
"And while I admit you have some personal ability, in my view, these abilities of yours are nothing more than petty cleverness."
"The pace of this era is too fast, and operational models are updated and replaced even faster. A moment of carelessness, and you will be eliminated by the era." Chen Jing said, "This is the main problem I am concerned about."
"Then please rest assured, President Chen. I am young and have a flexible mind. Even if I am abandoned by the era, that will be a matter for decades from now." Liu Ruxi retorted without any politeness.
"I am not like you, sticking to conventions in everything you do. While that might keep the company smooth and steady, to be honest, that is all there is to this life."
Liu Ruxi was young and a successful person herself, so her words were sharp and biting, not giving the other party any face at all. These few sentences made Chen Jing's expression change slightly.
"What our President Liu means is that President Chen takes things one step at a time, steady and solid." Seeing Chen Jing's expression change, Li Jie hurriedly smiled to smooth things over.
"To be honest, President Chen's company is the most suitable platform for our cooperation. Our company is also developing quite fast. If we cooperate, it will be a win-win for both sides. What do you think, President Chen?"
"It is not that it is impossible." Only after Li Jie said this did Chen Jing's expression look a little better. She still put on airs and said, "It is just that we need to change the profit-sharing model after we become profitable."
"Our company takes ninety percent, and you take ten percent." Chen Jing said, "If it is like that, I will consider it."
"Auntie..." Liu Ruxi laughed out of extreme anger. She stood up slowly and said, "You, you don't look beautiful, but you certainly think beautifully."
"Who do you think I am? One of your employees who is being excessively exploited and squeezed by you?" Liu Ruxi sneered, "Since you have no sincerity to cooperate, then this lady will not play with you anymore. Play by yourself."
"Presumptuous." Chen Jing's face turned livid. Although she was getting on in years, women of that age never want others to call them old.
"Oh, by the way, my saying that you exploit your employees is not without foundation. Look at the salaries of your own company's employees? Chenchen is a listed company after all; are you not ashamed to pay your employees so little?"
"My startup company, which has only been running for three years, pays higher wages than you. How many people are left in your company? How many are still with you from the days you built this empire? Heh, cooperating with you is merely because I value your seniority."
"To be honest, a company like yours has insufficient blood-making capacity, low management standards, and outdated leadership thinking. Such a company will be eliminated sooner or later. Do you really think I want to cooperate with you? Keep having your Spring and Autumn dreams while guarding your company."
Liu Ruxi went on a tirade, leaving Chen Jing livid. She roared, "Let her out, let her go, get out immediately."
"This grandmother here really doesn't want to stay in your lousy company anymore. Who do you really think you are? Putting on airs, doing everything in such a slow and deliberate manner. Who do you think you are, the Empress Dowager?"
Once Liu Ruxi got angry, no one could stop her. She fired off a barrage of insults, making Chen Jing so angry that her eyes rolled back.
After finishing her cursing, she felt a secret thrill in her heart. Then, she grabbed her bag in a huff, turned around, and walked out without even looking at her again.
"I am sorry, President Chen, I am truly sorry. She is young and ignorant; I apologize to you on her behalf. I am sorry."
Li Jie apologized to her repeatedly and then hurriedly chased after her.
Chen Jing was so angry that her face turned pale, and then she let out a long sigh: "Lao Li, this little girl is too impatient."
"Young people, they are all like this." Li Wenzhong gave a bitter smile and said, "But you did press her too hard just now. It is clear that she put a lot of effort into this."
"You came right out with a ninety-ten split, pressing her until she had no temper left." Chen Yu said, "Young people today have different ideas than our generation."
"People of our generation could endure hardship and suffering, were willing to work without complaint, and greeted everyone with a smile. They are different; the environment they live in is better, and they are unwilling to suffer any grievances."
"Yes." Chen Jing let out a long sigh and said, "Not willing to suffer even a bit of grievance. I actually thought highly of her and wanted to test her character, but I didn't expect it to backfire."
"Ha, don't even talk about her. Even the employees here who were born after 2000 won't take any temper, let alone her, who is a successful university student entrepreneur and can be considered a leader among her peers."
"That is true." Chen Jing sighed and said, "Then let us look for other similar companies. It is a pity; I really think highly of this company's prospects."
"It is fine, we will meet others slowly. But if that little girl regrets it and comes back to speak nicely and bow her head, would you agree to this cooperation?" Li Wenzhong asked.
"Hmph, with her personality, how could she come back and bow her head to me? In other words, even if she came back, I would not agree anymore. What does she think this place is?" Chen Jing snorted, "Besides, a person like her is destined not to speak in such a low posture."
"Haha, alright, I will contact other companies and see." Li Wenzhong laughed.
Liu Ruxi walked out of the company quickly, and Li Jie could not even keep up.
Once outside, a ball of fire was still burning in her chest. The scene just now really made her explode with anger.
Originally, this company was the most suitable for her, but the other party's attitude was truly something she could not tolerate.
Thinking about the half-day of anger she suffered at that old woman's place, she felt furious.
"What is wrong?" Chen Yu looked at her with some confusion. She was fine when she went in just now, but she turned into this the moment she came out.
Although he did not know the situation too well, looking at her appearance, Chen Yu knew that she must not have reached an agreement.
"Didn't reach an agreement. That old woman really made me so angry. Putting on airs like an Empress Dowager. Who does she think she is? The Old Buddha?"
Liu Ruxi kicked the roadside greenery as she spoke: "And a ninety-ten split. What does she take me for? Does she take me for someone working for her for free? I have never encountered such a disgusting thing."
