Who goes to work if they're a decent person?

Chapter 27 Registering a New Company

The air in the purchasing office felt somewhat stagnant.

Zhang Zhicheng sat on the sofa, holding a fountain pen, writing and drawing in his notebook.

Across from him sat Purchasing Manager Lin, who seemed to be contacting business partners, frantically sending voice messages on WeChat.

After dealing with all of this, General Manager Lin suddenly spoke to General Manager Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, I've basically contacted all the factories in Jingcheng that can make this Chanel-style design and that are of any decent size."

"If we follow the pattern-making process, both quality and production time must be up to standard. But even so, there's still a shortfall of 1 pieces."

The purchasing manager reported the facts to Zhang Zhicheng.

Zhang Zhicheng didn't speak, but pinched the bridge of his nose.

1 pieces.

For goods priced around 1000 each, that would amount to 1000 million in sales.

If the message cannot be sent, according to the platform's rules, not only will a refund be issued, but a penalty fee will also be charged. This back-and-forth could result in a loss of at least several million yuan.

But that's not what he's worried about.

His concern was about cash flow, because if a large number of goods couldn't be shipped out, it could lead to the platform freezing all its cash.

That means it's not just 1000 million, but hundreds of millions.

We still have to pay for the goods we purchase. Under this double pressure, the company is basically unable to operate, and we can't even pay salaries.

"Have you looked for factories in other places?" Zhang Zhicheng asked.

Mr. Lin smiled wryly: "Mr. Zhang, you know what happens when you work at a factory in another city."

First, the logistics time will not be able to keep up. We promise to ship within 15 days, but if the goods are transferred from other places, it will take three or four days just for them to be on the road.

We also have to do self-inspection, warehousing, and secondary distribution, which takes too much time.

Secondly, the risk is too great. What if there are any quality problems, or the boss runs away? We'll have nowhere to turn.

Zhang Zhicheng fell silent.

How could he not know all this?

He began to consider the family's savings. The house was untouchable; it was the security for his wife and children.

As for the money in the stock account, it can be withdrawn, and there are also some IOUs from old friends that can be urged to be paid.

But after calculating it all, it still doesn't feel like enough.

Or perhaps...

Zhang Zhicheng suddenly thought of the previous equity swap plan. He was actually a conservative and didn't want to do something so risky.

But once you do that, the company will no longer belong to you, after all the years of hard work you've put into it...

He was conflicted, and even considered taking out a bank loan or borrowing money from old friends.

Just as the two were frowning in worry, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Please come in." Zhang Zhicheng looked up and composed himself slightly.

Chen Hao pushed the door open and came in, looking excited.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lin, I found it! I found it!"

General Manager Lin frowned and said impatiently, "Which department are you from? Get to the point, don't cause trouble. Can't you see we're busy?"

Zhang Zhicheng raised his hand to stop General Manager Lin, "Let's hear what he has to say first, he's a colleague from the business department."

Because of his relationship with Su Ming, Zhang Zhicheng became much friendlier to his friends.

"I've found a factory that can produce this batch of goods. It just so happens that I have a friend who is friends with their factory manager."

Chen Hao spoke with certainty, while Zhang Zhicheng turned to look at Purchasing Manager Lin.

General Manager Lin looked at Chen Hao and asked, "Which factory is it? Where is it located?"

"It's Tianmi Garment Factory; they've started operations again."

"Tianmi?" President Lin was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant.

"Didn't that factory go bankrupt five years ago? I remember it caused quite a stir."

"Yes!" Chen Hao nodded, "but they've started work again now."

Moreover, my friend has a very close relationship with their boss, so he can get insider pricing, and the construction schedule will definitely be on time.

Upon hearing Chen Hao's words, President Lin and Zhang Zhicheng immediately became interested.

"Let's go then, let's go to the factory as soon as possible and finalize this matter."

Zhang Zhicheng made a direct and decisive decision to go to the factory with the two of them to finalize the matter.

.

Meanwhile, Su Ming had already told Director Li about this matter.

As for the coordination, let Chen Hao and Factory Director Li handle it.

As for the price, we'll set it at around 100 for labor, since we're rushing to meet the deadline and the workers will definitely have to work overtime.

Actually, the price isn't too expensive, considering they're all experienced craftsmen, so the quality is definitely good.

After arranging all of this, Su Ming actually had nothing else to do.

Next, Su Ming planned to find a financial and tax company to register his company.

He had already thought of a name: Tianming Media.

Then I'll sign the rental agreement with myself, but I don't know if that will count as completing the task.

But no matter what, we have to give it a try.

So Su Ming turned on his phone and searched online for the nearest accounting and tax companies.

Upon searching, I discovered a company that was less than 100 meters away from me.

Goodness, the address is in the Hongyun Building.

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Su Ming clicked on the address and looked at it in detail, and found that it was on the 13th floor.

Without delay, he went straight to the 13th floor.

Upon arriving on the 13th floor, I discovered that the company was called "Henhui Accounting".

He pushed open the door to room 1301. The room wasn't large, only about 400 or 500 square meters, and it was packed with people, all of them salespeople on the phone, chattering away like a market.

After Su Ming went inside, no one paid any attention to him.

He didn't seem to care, and instead started strolling around casually.

Just then, a slender girl walked over. Her clear and innocent eyes suggested she had recently graduated.

"Are you looking for someone?" the girl asked softly.

"Oh, I want to register a company and then manage its finances and taxes."

"Oh? Okay, then please come and sit in the reception room for a while. I'll go and pour you some tea right away." The girl was very polite.

She then led Su Ming to the reception room. After Su Ming sat down, the girl went out, closed the door behind her, and then went to pour tea for Su Ming.

Outside.

A slightly plump woman in business attire walked over, looked at the girl's back, and patted her on the shoulder.

Are you here for an interview?

The girl shook her head. "It seems like they're here to inquire about company registration."

The woman sighed and said with a pained expression, "Youming, this kind of young man doesn't look like he has any potential, so don't get too interested in him."

Instead of wasting time like this, you should make more phone calls and find big clients, you know?

Li Youming paused for a moment, then whispered.

"But...shouldn't we treat all customers with the utmost care?"

The woman rolled her eyes and lowered her voice.

"You need to learn to judge people when you're dealing with customers. This kind of young customer doesn't look like he's going to be a boss."

They're just here to inquire; they're not going to do any business.

Even if he were to apply, he would look for cheaper prices online, not apply offline.

After listening to the woman's words, Li Youming remained silent for two seconds before continuing.

"It's okay, I don't have any other clients anyway. I'll just greet any clients who come to my door."

After saying that, she picked up the tea she had just brewed and went into the reception room.

The woman watched Li Youming's retreating figure and muttered to herself, "Sigh, at this rate, you might not even make it past your probation period before you have to leave."
