Chapter 189: Also Showing Off Love on the Project Plan?

Tonight Jiang Qin was generous spending lavishly ordering a huge table of dishes treating Lai Cunqing Ding Qiaona and the core employees of Room 208.

Garlic scallops crystal pork knuckle golden ox tripe in broth fish head casserole dried bamboo shoots with cured meat…

Simply dazzling a fragrant feast making one drool.

Feng Nanshu quickly ate her fill then while Jiang Qin chatted with Lai Cunqing she secretly took a sip of his alcohol her cheeks instantly flushing red her little tongue flicking out from the spice.

Jiang Qin heard her breathing turning his head in confusion.

“Why is your face so red?”

“I just ate a chili pepper.”

The little rich girl stuck out her tongue tears already welling up in her eyes.

Actually everyone at the table saw her steal the drink except Jiang Qin but who dared discipline the boss’s wife besides the boss himself.

“Boss’s wife hurry drink some water.” Su Nai quietly brought over a glass.

“Su Nai you’re a good person.”

Feng Nanshu took a big gulp of water feeling like her mouth was full of alcohol fumes so she kept quiet not daring to speak afraid Jiang Qin would find out.

Jiang Qin forbade her from drinking alcohol she could try a little beer but absolutely no liquor yet she was always a bit curious.

So saying she was like a silly cat wasn’t false at all because curiosity really could kill the cat.

However not everyone could eat meat and drink wine this night for example in the conference room at Wanzhong Mall a group of miserable corporate slaves managers were eating boxed meals working overtime like mad.

In front of them was the group-buy to store project plan personally written by Jiang Qin.

The contents of this project plan weren’t long printed on A4 paper it was less than 4 pages yet these 5 veteran market managers studied it for a long time but still had a feeling of hazy incomprehension.

Some things are just like this.

Lightly sketched but spine-chilling upon closer thought the mountain doesn’t look far but can run a steed to death.

You say it’s unrealistic but don’t dare say it’s impossible at first glance it seems magical but upon careful consideration it seems feasible.

It was this feeling of being both real and illusory that made the 5 market managers think until their brains nearly exploded.

“This project aims to completely overturn the existing consumption order and habits?”

“According to this person’s vision in the future comparing options can be done without leaving home which store has good service which is bad consumer reviews are of course the most accurate.”

“I feel this project plan exaggerates online sales too much.”

“Not exaggerated the key details are too few I can see the development direction but the specifics are completely unexplained.”

“How is real-time payment receipt achieved? Even if I plug in my USB key to recharge my phone it takes at least 2 hours to get a text message.”

“Forget phone credit even bank transfers need next-day verification could a transaction tool bypassing banks really appear in the future?”

“The Big Four banks seem to be upgrading their online banking services now not sure if it’s related to this?”

“This project plan is a total castrated version so much has been redacted no matter how you look at it it’s inscrutable damn it!”

“Who is Feng Nanshu? Why is her name repeated over 20 times at the end of the project plan could she be a key figure? This warrants deep thought!”

Yue Zhu was also in the conference room silently sipping coffee the project plan in her hand already dog-eared.

The day the boss decided to reform the mall she was present so she knew many details the other managers didn’t.

For example this reform was due to a university student’s entrepreneurial project.

Also the boss felt mid-market retail and pure sales would soon see their twilight.

Honestly Yue Zhu felt the boss was being a bit of a worrywart the decision to reform the mall was also made very childishly.

No matter how convenient and fast online sales were how could they become widespread nationwide in a short time?

Take Amazon it’s a giant in the e-commerce field it’s been in the domestic market for 5 years now isn’t it still half-dead without making any waves at all.

Wanting to thoroughly change the nation’s consumption habits how could it be done just by flapping gums.

In Yue Zhu’s judgment this matter was utterly impossible without 50 years.

But since the boss had spoken as an employee one couldn’t not prepare.

So that night Yue Zhu didn’t sleep early as usual but while pondering the day’s conversation she used her computer to collect all sorts of information on e-commerce.

As she learned more and more she finally understood the fear the boss spoke of.

Source manufacturers door-to-door delivery online banking national logistics.

These things weren’t a fantasy they were really being done by people and once someone linked these elements together online shopping would become an incomparably smooth existence.

The barriers of time and space were gone the turnover period and inventory costs of manufacturing were reduced mobile information technology was also about to be upgraded.

The changes of the times truly gave no forewarning or hint.

In this situation if a pure sales mall like Wanzhong didn’t change within a few years it would definitely be impacted until collapse.

But the boss wanted them to find inspiration for reform from group-buying to store yet she couldn’t find it at all only feeling her mind in a fog.

Thinking of this she couldn’t help but recall Jiang Qin.

Seeing him do group-buying so easily Yue Zhu always felt the technical content wasn’t much but when it was her turn she really couldn’t manage it at all.

“Manager Yue who is this Feng Nanshu do you know?”

“Huh?”

Yue Zhu came back to her senses: “Manager Zhao what did you just say?”

“This project plan has Feng Nanshu typed out three times at the end is there some deep meaning?”

“Oh Feng Nanshu is Jiang Qin’s girlfriend Jiang Qin is the person who wrote this project plan the name was probably typed out randomly when he was bored and forgot to delete it later.”

After Manager Zhao heard this he cursed loudly: “Fuck showing off love even while writing a project plan I searched online for ages fuck!”

Just as he was talking He Yijun suddenly walked into the conference room.

The managers who were originally chattering instantly quieted down then sat up straight.

“Everyone how’s the project plan reading going?”

“President He this project plan is fragmented with only a framework and no details we really can’t make heads or tails of it.”

He Yijun sat in the boss’s chair taking a sip of tea: “This is someone else’s project plan of course they wouldn’t disclose all the details to us having a general framework is enough because I’m not asking you to ponder this project plan but hope you can find direction for the mall’s reform through it.”

Business department manager Zhao Zuchang couldn’t help but ask: “Who exactly is this Jiang Qin who wrote the project plan?”

“A person with keen unique vision and also very capable modest and prudent.”

“Ahem…”

Yue Zhu was sipping coffee nearly getting it in her lungs from He Yijun’s words.

Modest prudent these words could describe anyone without being wasted but using them on Jiang Qin was too much of a waste!

He Yijun didn’t blush at all instead looking serious mainly because he didn’t want to say Jiang Qin was just a university student otherwise these managers would definitely look down on him and not take the project plan seriously.

“Boss to be honest I don’t quite understand our mall is doing well why reform?”

Administrative department manager Bao Wenping couldn’t help but voice doubts.

“Then let me show you some information I’ve collected recently.”

He Yijun signaled to his secretary and a pre-made PPT was projected in the conference room.

The first page was a few recently famous e-commerce websites.

The second page was the growth in online shoppers since 2006.

The third page was the increase in sign-up rate after the Big Four banks upgraded their online banking services.

The fourth and fifth pages were detailed information on a website called Taobao.

After viewing the entire PPT’s contents the managers present all fell a bit silent whispering to each other.

“Is it a bit eye-opening? I used to think like you that this was very far off and couldn’t threaten us but last night I tried Taobao and found this thing is really terrifying someday it will infiltrate our side without a sound.”

“Once humans get used to using convenient things it’s hard to go back.”

“Then…what does online shopping have to do with group-buying?” Zhao Zuchang asked again.

He Yijun took a deep breath: “The person who wrote this project plan is an expert it’s a new project he’s been working on recently I hope after reading it you can gain inspiration and find our next development direction.”

“Boss can we have a bit more time we need to digest some of this information.”

“You can.”

After speaking He Yijun declared the meeting adjourned but inwardly felt a bit disappointed.

These managers under him had been around the mall too long their thinking ossified insensitive to the changes of the times.

But this couldn’t be blamed on them even he the boss was at a loss completely without any idea about the method of reform.

Looks like for this matter he still had to consult someone who could truly see through the development of the times.

This kind of person sometimes with a few words could make you thoroughly understand.

At the same time the person who could see through the development of the times was sitting on the restaurant steps sobering up only feeling the winter night wind was unbearably cold.

But on the street one could always see groups of thinly-dressed female college students boldly displaying freezing beauty in the cold wind who knew how they could stand it.

This youth not knowing to protect their knees would all get arthritis sooner or later.

“Jiang Qin don’t forget to come eat at my house tomorrow.”

Jiang Qin was pondering when he suddenly received a text from He Yijun.

So eager to invite me to dinner?

Looks like no feast is without ulterior motive Old He must be plotting something gotta watch out.
