A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 83 Talks

Chao Bufan and Lü Tie were genuinely impressed by Guan Yunfei. Chao Bufan, in particular, quickly pulled out a few tissues from the table and handed them to Guan Yunfei, saying with a smile, "Manager Guan, I should be the one thanking you."

This was a heartfelt thank you from Chao Bufan. Guan Yunfei took the tissue handed to him, wiped his eyes, and smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Chao Bufan said in a serious tone, "Manager Guan, I won't say much more about my thanks. In short, Tang's Group will always be your home. You can come and go as you please. No one has the right to kick you out at any time."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei burst into laughter through his tears, then stood up and bowed deeply to Chao Bufan: "Thank you, Chairman!"

This startled both Chao Bufan and Lü Tie. Chao Bufan quickly stood up and helped Guan Yunfei up, saying urgently, "Manager Guan, what are you doing? You're making me feel terrible! How can I accept this?"

"Chairman, I...I..." Overwhelmed with emotion, Manager Guan stammered, unable to speak clearly.

Chao Bufan knew what Manager Guan wanted to say, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, Manager Guan, from now on I'll just call you Uncle Guan! Uncle Guan, I'm the junior, you shouldn't be bowing to me like that, I should be the one bowing."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei chuckled and said, "Chairman, you flatter me. I must perform this salute. I, Guan Yunfei, have not received much education and have not even finished elementary school, so naturally I cannot say anything nice. I am honored that the Chairman thinks so highly of me, and I can only express my gratitude by saluting you."

“Uncle Guan, I understand how you feel. From now on, just call me Wofan! I feel more comfortable calling me Wofan,” Chao Bufan said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll call you Bufan from now on."

Chao Bufan glanced at his watch and then said, "Uncle Guan, it's almost time for work. Let's go together! Uncle Guan, please!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei quickly and politely declined, "No, no, no, you go first!"

Chao Bufan didn't insist. He nodded and then said to Lü Tie, "Let's go, Lü Tie!"

Upon arriving at the company, Lü Tie turned around and said, "Manager Guan, I won't be attending the afternoon meeting. I'd like to visit the finance department. Do you know where our company's finance department is?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei asked, "Director Lü, shouldn't you wait until the meeting is over before going over?"

Lu Tie laughed and said, "No, I want to go and take a look now. After all, I'm not familiar with our company's finance system at all, and I want to get familiar with it as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei nodded and said, "Alright, I'll make a call to the finance department now. Director Lü, please wait a moment."

Lü Tie nodded and smiled, "Thank you!"

"Hey, Manager She, Director Lü wants to visit your finance department. Please have Supervisor Sun come to the company's front desk to pick up Director Lü immediately."

Manager She replied, "Okay, Mr. Guan, I'll call Supervisor Sun over right away."

Lu Tie smiled and said, "Chairman, you all go to the meeting! I'll wait here for Manager Sun to arrive."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Okay, Lü Tie, let's go to the meeting."

Manager Guan said, "Director Lü, we'll head over for the meeting now. Mr. Bufan, this way please!"

In the conference room, apart from Senior Manager Sun from the Finance Department who was accompanying Lü Tie to check the company's accounts, all the senior management personnel were present. When Chao Bufan entered the conference room, everyone immediately stood up. They stood straight with serious expressions. Chao Bufan walked to the head of the table and sat down, while Manager Guan sat to his lower right.

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Please be seated, everyone!"

"Thank you, Chairman!"

After everyone was seated, Chao Bufan opened his laptop and began reading the documents. At the same time, the others also opened their laptops and quietly began looking at them. After finishing, Chao Bufan said, "Everyone, the main reason I'm here is to understand our company's recent production and sales situation. According to the data on the computer, the sales performance of each department is generally satisfactory. Our Tang Group involves many sectors, which are interconnected and complex. Because of this, we must always maintain a clear head..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Chao Bufan continued, "As we all know, this is a highly competitive society where only the fittest survive. If we can't be a raging lion hunting its prey, then we must be a strong and healthy antelope. Only those strong and healthy antelopes, who can outrun the lion, can survive and thrive. This applies to humans, animals, and products alike. If our products are inferior in quality to others, how can we talk about sales? How can we talk about production? The quality of a product often reflects the producer's attitude and character. Therefore, whatever products our Tang Group deals with, no matter what they are, we must put our heart into them. We must make trustworthy products, products made with conscience. We don't strive for the absolute best, but only for the recognition of every consumer, so that every consumer can buy with confidence and use with peace of mind. Currently, we are mainly responsible for four major sectors: food, clothing, automotive wiring harnesses and parts processing, and circuit board production. All departments must not let their guard down and must always maintain a high level of vigilance and a clear mind."

The heads of each department nodded in agreement. Chao Bufan's expression turned serious, and he said, "Alright, enough with the small talk, let's get down to business!"

Next, Chao Bufan discussed the company's development prospects and various management policies with everyone, and naturally listened to the suggestions from various departments on production, future plans, and so on.

"For any company, regardless of size, the volume of business often directly affects its fate. Manager Tang, as the manager of the business department, you should offer as many suggestions as possible for the company. You need to have a broad vision and foresight. We cannot be limited to what is in front of us. We must broaden our horizons and constantly inject new vitality and new blood into the company. Only in this way can we gain a foothold and go further and more steadily. Am I right?"

Manager Tang replied with a serious expression, "That's right, that's how it is."

Chao Bufan nodded and continued, "Then tell me about your business department's latest plans!"

Upon hearing this, Manager Tang quickly replied, "Yes, Chairman..." He paused, then continued, "Chairman, most of our past business came directly from headquarters, and we've received very little new business from outside. Therefore, during our meeting with General Manager Guan in May, he relayed headquarters' opinions on self-reliance. So, our company has been working diligently on a self-reliance plan, and we've already covered several areas with considerable results. Especially this month, our sales department received a 60 million euro order from a company in Country X, related to computer mainframes, and we've already signed a long-term cooperation contract with them."
