Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Inspection

At the airport exit, Zhou Xinyu saw Feng Yiping pushing a luggage cart out, followed by Jin Ling and Huang Jingping. He immediately waved elegantly, 'This way!'

'Why trouble you to come and pick me up in person!'

Zhou Xingyu snatched the luggage trolley from him. 'I have to look after the boss's face, not just Jin Shu and Jingping's. I've worked hard all year, and I don't want to give the boss a bad impression in the last few days, which would cost me a fortune in bonuses.'

'Why do I feel like you're not saying something nice? It's like I'm Zhou the skinflint, looking for ways to get you,'

'No, you're not Zhou the skinflint, you're Feng the skinflint,' Zhou Xingyu corrected him seriously.

'So in the final analysis, President Zhou is not looking at whose face, but at the face of the bonus,' Huang Jingping said with a smile.

'That's a bit too direct, but, it's not wrong!'

This guy, I guess he is also serious in front of his subordinates. His friends are all in Shanghai, so it's rare to have such a relaxing time.

As soon as he walked out of the airport gate, Jin Ling let out a cold "sizzle" and quickly wrapped her clothes tighter. This kind of cold is annoying!

Zhou Xinyu was also driving one of the ten new company cars. 'Do you want to go home first or to the office first?'

Feng Yiping glanced at Jin Ling and saw that she agreed. "Let's go to the office first and check on the preparations for the meeting the day after tomorrow.'

'Do you think there will be many customers attending?" Jin Ling asked.

'Haha,' Zhou Xinyu laughed happily, 'We didn't even have to send out invitations. As soon as the fax was sent, we received a lot of replies right away. The sales managers were nothing, and many companies were represented by executives at the vice-president level.'

The meeting they were talking about was a supplier meeting. Intermediaries like convenience stores not only have to serve their customers well, but also maintain good relationships with their suppliers. Don't think that just because you pay money to them to buy goods, you are their god.

If there is poor communication with suppliers and a poor relationship with the regional manager in charge of sales, there will be a lot of trouble in the course of cooperation.

Not to mention the purchase price and the strength of promotional support, even if the supply is tight and the goods you want are delayed by a few days, that is also a considerable loss.

'That's good, is there a problem with the preparations for the meeting?'

'No problem, Xiaogao is in charge, I have checked it over and it is very thorough.'

Along the way, Feng Yiping received a lot of phone calls, from his brother-in-law, his sister, Xu Bin and the others, all asking him where he was. He called his parents again, and also contacted Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning. They were also in the provincial capital now, and since the school was on holiday, they were all staying at home. In the second half of the year, both families had bought houses in the provincial capital.

He called Zheng Jiayi, and she was there too. She said she couldn't stay in the city for more than a day, so she went back to the provincial capital.

Feng Yiping could guess why she couldn't bear to stay in the city. These days, the homes of leaders of all levels must be abuzz with activity. As for Mayor Fang's home, it was estimated that the threshold had been broken by all the people bringing gifts.

Although quite a few middle-level cadres had gone to the provinces, with Jia headquarters still very crowded, they could only squeeze into Zhou Xinyu's small office and listen to Gao Zhiyi's report on the arrangements for the meeting the day after tomorrow.

The others had no objections, but Jin Ling was a little unhappy about the arrangement of the participants in the fast-food hotel that had just opened for business. 'Isn't it a bit low-class?'

This was mainly Feng Yiping's idea. If the nearly 200 participants stayed outside, at least 100 rooms would have to be booked.

This arrangement would also give those partners the impression that Youjia is an efficient, thrifty and pragmatic company, which is not a bad thing.

'It's not a big deal. The hotel has just opened, it's clean and hygienic, and it lets them know our strength and pursuit. I think it's pretty good.'

'Let's go take a look,' Jin Ling was still a bit uneasy.

'Okay, let's go after lunch. I guess Xu Bin should be here soon, and it'll be good to have him with us. I'll introduce to the two bosses the situation of our store openings in surrounding provinces and cities,'

Zhou Xinyu and Gao Zhiyi spread a large map on the table, pointed to the red marks on it, and introduced them.

Lunch was lively, with the heads of the provincial capital all present. As soon as Feng Yuxuan arrived, she pulled Huang Jingping aside to chat, getting along very well.

Now that everyone had a lot on their plates, they simply ate a little and followed Xu Bin to the newly opened budget hotel.

The hotel was located in the city centre, in a 12-storey building with an overall cool and elegant greyish-green colour scheme. Although it was not as conspicuous as the bright yellow colour scheme adopted by most budget hotels later on, it was more pleasing to the eye and gave the impression of being quite high-end.

On the outside wall, there are four large silver-grey characters that read 'Yijia Hotel'. This was the name that Feng Yiping and the others finally settled on after much discussion.

The lobby is not big, and is decorated in a very business-like manner, with blue, white and grey as the main colours. The reception desk is also very compact, with a lounge area to the right, with two sets of sofas, and to the left is a large all-in-one printer, copier, scanner and fax machine, which can meet the business needs of guests.

Mei Yiliang was fine. He had been here more than once, of course, as he had done the hotel's interior design. Everyone else was curious, as it was their first time here, and they looked at the guest rooms. They were simple, bright and uncluttered, and although the layout was compact, the furnishings were well-placed. Xu Bin showed them around the two floors, and everyone felt that it was quite good, and that it was cost-effective and convenient for people on business trips.

Generally, when people are on business trips, not many of them have the time or mood to patronise the hotel's other ancillary functions such as dining, entertainment and leisure.

'It's OK,' Jin Ling brushed his hand across the windowsill, and there wasn't a trace of dust on it. The fly in the ointment was that not far from the hotel was a large overpass. Xu Bin saw his doubts and signalled for everyone to be quiet. "The rooms on this side are all double-glazed for sound insulation, so it's very quiet,'

sure enough, once everyone had calmed down, they couldn't hear any noise from outside at all.

'Then we'll book here after all, and tell all the staff that they must treat this reception task with great care," Jin Ling finally decided.

The hotel has a total of 176 rooms, and this time, at least a large part of them must be booked. This is also a test for their team, which has only just started working together.

On the way to Jiasheng Decoration, Jin Ling said, 'Yiping, since accommodation can be saved a bit, can the catering costs be increased a bit?' She was always unwilling to lose face.

'General Manager Jin, the catering level is already quite good, and we have prepared customised gifts for the participants,' said Gao Zhiyi, who was sitting in the back.

'What are they?'

'A multifunctional electronic calendar and a signature pen, both with our company logo, add up to nearly 200 yuan for a set.'

'That's enough,' Jin Ling was satisfied.

Next, Feng Yiping and Jin Ling inspected each company non-stop, briefly listened to reports on recent work, and even visited the noodle shop. Feng Yuxuan gave her first more formal work report, which was well done, with clear diction and a clear structure, and she was able to talk off the cuff. It was obvious that she had put a lot of effort into it.

The biggest change has been in Zhitong Company. Thanks to effective sales, the company has made considerable profits this year. Feng Yiping had already told Hong Haoran that all of these profits would be reinvested, so he has added several new projects and is actively recruiting staff. As of today, the number of coders at Zhitong has already exceeded 200.

The Jiasheng Holiday Inn, which is still under construction, was scheduled to be inspected last. It was already late in the day, but from the Yanjiang Avenue, one could already see the outline of the hotel, which is almost complete.

'It's really beautiful!' Huang Jingping said, looking across.

'I heard you designed it too?' This was the first time Jin Ling had seen the hotel's exterior, and she was won over at first glance.

'Yes, I'm impressed!'

Jin Ling looked at him seriously, 'It's not bad!'

They wore safety helmets, Xu Bin leading the way, 'We're aiming to open before next year's National Day,'

'Isn't that a bit tight? The hotel's renovation is a major project.'

'There should be plenty of time. We have already done a lot of preparation work. The design plan has been finalised, and all the hotel furniture is already being produced in the Shenzhen factory. We have also ordered a lot of other decorative materials. In the past two months, the decoration company has recruited a lot of new staff, and after the New Year, more than ten decoration teams will be working at the same time.'

Feng Yiping stood with his arms folded in front of the completed auditorium. 'Next year, when the annual staff meeting is held, we will finally not have to worry about not having a place.'
