Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 721 With money comes confidence.

The meeting ended at around 4:30 p.m.

Shang Guozheng, Su Yutong, Jian Yueqin, Chen Zhibin, Sun Wei, Sun Jingyu and others were all summoned to Luo Yang's office.

"I didn't have time to introduce it in the meeting room earlier."

After everyone sat down in the reception area, Luo Yang began to introduce them: "Chen Zhibin is the leader of the company's restructuring research team, responsible for leading the team to conduct professional research; Sun Wei is the deputy director of the board office of Ling Shi Gong Group, and also serves as the deputy leader of this research team, responsible for coordination and liaison work."

He then introduced Shang Guozheng and Su Yutong to Chen Zhibin and Sun Wei.

"Director Sun, you'll need to coordinate with Team Leader Sun later."

Luo Yang concluded by saying to Sun Jingyu, "The research team will be staying in Yang City for a week. You two should work together to rank all the companies and arrange the time accordingly."

Sun Jingyu nodded to indicate that she had received the message.

"Team Leader Chen, let's make Zhengyang Group the first stop for our research."

After making the introductions, Luo Yang said to Chen Zhibin, "For men's clothing, contact General Manager Shang; for women's clothing, contact General Manager Su. If any functional departments are involved, have Director Sun help coordinate."

"Ok."

After nodding, Chen Zhibin smiled slightly at Shang Guozheng and Su Yutong: "The research work will begin next Monday. I will send a list of materials to Director Sun later. I hope Director Sun can help coordinate. Our team members will arrive at the factory at 8:00 a.m. and begin the first step of the research work in the conference room."

This whole thing looks like an audit.

Shang Guozheng and Su Yutong glanced at Luo Yang subconsciously.

Only Jian Yueqin remained expressionless.

"In the first half of the year, I originally planned to integrate the industries in Yangshi and establish a group company."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Yang had to explain, "Back in April, we even formed a preparatory team and had Xiao Sun start registering the Guangfan Group's business information. However, we later realized that our approach was too crude, so we stopped Xiao Sun's actions and specially hired outstanding professionals like Chen Zhibin to form a team to help me conduct research and integration on all industries in Shanghai and Yang City, and design a more modern corporate organizational structure."

Chen Zhibin also saw through Luo Yang's intention in saying those words.

Then, following up on the boss's words, he explained what advanced modern enterprise management structure design is.

Most of it is to serve the interests of the boss.

However, it also takes into account the system that motivates employees and executives.

His explanation actually taught Shang Guozheng and Su Yutong a lot, as they had never had such a concept before.

After finishing their business, Shang Guozheng and the others left first.

"Team Leader Chen, to be honest, I've gone through it in my head, but I still don't have a clue."

When only Chen Zhibin and Sun Wei remained in the office, Luo Yang spoke up: "Initially, we simply divided the company into two groups in Shanghai and Yangshi, based on geographical boundaries, and the industrial layout was quite chaotic. It's a real headache to think about now."

"Actually, the chairman's subconscious planning actions were quite methodical."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhibin replied, "The industries you have established in Yang City are mostly in the real manufacturing industry, or in other words, heavy assets. The industries you have left in Shanghai are related to technological innovation and finance, and some are light assets. This kind of subconscious deployment actually reflects the chairman's excellent business acumen."

Luo Yang was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"In fact, after gaining a preliminary understanding of all the industries under the chairman's name, our team members have already had a preliminary exchange."

After praising Luo Yang, Chen Zhibin began to answer Luo Yang's previous questions: "Most of the industries in Yang City do not need to be moved, but we suggest that Deyang Motor should still make a nationwide layout. Just like the new energy vehicle manufacturing that you will soon be involved in, the R&D and headquarters can be located in Shanghai, while the production should be set up nationwide."

"Because of logistics radiation?"

"Logistics is one aspect, and corporate management is another."

Chen Zhibin replied with a smile, "When a manufacturing company becomes too large, various management problems will inevitably arise, especially in quality control. Therefore, appropriately splitting off some production bases is beneficial for corporate management and quality control."

When it comes to the scale of production bases, Foxconn is a prime example.

The number of employees at a single production base has reached 20. Even so, it is still necessary to set up branch factories in multiple locations such as Chengdu and Central China.

"Your team has even considered the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry?"

Luo Yang smiled and said, "That's quite forward-thinking."

"It's not just new energy vehicle manufacturing; Zhengyang Group also needs to make some adjustments."

Now that they had started, Chen Zhibin decided to speak freely, which could be considered as giving Luo Yang some advance psychological preparation.

He continued, "Yang City is perfectly fine as a production base for clothing companies, but it would be best to move the design department to Shanghai, because both talent and fashion trends require an international metropolis to take over."

Luo Yang discussed this viewpoint with Su Yutong last week.

His proposed solution was to set up a design studio in Shanghai and rotate the designers from Zhengyang Group there regularly.

Chen Zhibin's suggestion is now even more radical: to move the entire design department of Zhengyang Group to Shanghai.

Moreover, Luo Yang understood another meaning in his words, which was that the design department that had moved there should be separated.

If the garment companies were located in Suzhou, this problem wouldn't exist. All the issues stem from the fact that Yang City's urban capacity is too small.

"Yes, you can include that in your research report later."

Luo Yang nodded and said, "I also have some ideas, and we'll consider them together when the time comes."

"Okay, Chairman."

Chen Zhibin naturally had no objections, and after nodding, he asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"

"temporarily unavailable."

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "It's getting late. I'll have Director Sun take you to your hotel later. Everyone must be a bit tired today, so I won't treat you to dinner. Let's see if we have time tomorrow or the day after. I'll invite all the business leaders in Shangyang City to have a get-together then."

At this point, everyone knows the chat is over.

Chen Zhibin and Sun Wei both stood up and asked Luo Yang if they could leave first.

The office quickly quieted down.

Luo Yang glanced at his watch; it was already a little past five.

With only ten or twenty minutes left before the end of the workday, he had no interest in dealing with company affairs, so he stubbed out his cigarette and prepared to leave the company.

Before I could even stand up from the sofa, my phone rang in my pocket.

"Has he returned to Yang City?"

Empress Dowager Gu's voice was as crisp as ever: "Come home for dinner tonight."

"I just finished working at the garment factory and am about to leave."

Luo Yang replied, "I need to pick up Fanfan first; I won't be home until a little later."

"Do we need you to pick me up?"

Gu Honglan habitually uttered half-finished words: "Come back quickly."

Luo Yang was used to his mother's way of expressing herself. Judging from what she just said, Jiang Fan was probably already at home.

Sure enough, after driving back to the villa, he saw Jiang Fan's white BMW parked in the yard.

Only Luo Jianguo could be seen on the sofa in the living room; it seemed that Gu Honglan and Jiang Fan were busy in the kitchen.

"Dad, you're back from your business trip?"

As Luo Yang changed his shoes, he struck up a conversation: "How's the project in Jiangcheng? Is it going smoothly?"

"It's too early to say whether things are going smoothly or not." Luo Jianguo put down the TV remote, glanced at his son, and replied, "The framework agreement has been signed, and the government approval has been issued, but these are all rather rough things. When I went there, the company was discussing the details with the local land and planning departments."

"Then we'll have to wait a while."

As Luo Yang walked towards the sofa, he smiled and said, "Whether construction can even start this year is still a question. Dad, you're in charge of this construction, so you shouldn't need to go and inspect it so early, right?"

"Why wouldn't I need to intervene beforehand?"

Luo Jianguo glared at his son: "These are all things you proposed three years ago, and you've already forgotten them?"

Site surveys, geological surveys, planning, and design drawings all need to be done in advance. This set of ideas was indeed something Luo Yang came up with three years ago when he was working part-time at Jincheng Real Estate. Later, because the three companies jointly developed a project in Minhang, some of the "advanced" concepts spread and were shared by Fu Bin.

It's quite normal for this technology to be used in projects of Guotai Industrial Real Estate.

"You haven't done anything bad lately, have you?"

Quite suddenly, Luo Jianguo came up with this question.

"?"

Luo Yang was a little confused.

"What do you mean?"

He looked at Luo Jianguo with suspicion: "What bad things could I possibly do?"

"Then why did your father-in-law suddenly call to ask if I was going back to Yang City this week?"

Since Luo Yang started his business, Luo Jianguo's role as a father has been greatly diminished. He hardly ever takes care of his son anymore; he's lucky if he sees him once a week.

Now that he had an excuse, he could finally assert his fatherly authority, and he felt incredibly comfortable.

"What did I think it was?"

Luo Yang picked up Luo Jianguo's cigarette from the coffee table, lit it, and continued, "Last week when we went back to our hometown, Fanfan suggested that we get our marriage certificate first, and then hold the wedding later. You were in Jiangcheng at that time, so I told Lao Jiang to wait until you come back next week to discuss it further."

"Are you and Fanfan going to get a marriage certificate?"

Luo Jianguo was so surprised that he almost dropped the cigarette holder he was holding.

But after realizing it, I was pleasantly surprised.

He said with a big smile, "Isn't this a good thing? Why didn't you call and tell me and your mom sooner?"

"Getting a marriage certificate is a big deal, shouldn't it be done formally?"

Luo Yang pursed his lips and said, "I was thinking of discussing it together after you guys come back, and also having a meal with Fanfan's family to discuss it together, choose an auspicious day to get our marriage certificate, and also set a date for the formal wedding. How can this be explained in just one phone call?"

"Too."

Luo Jianguo nodded and said, "Such an important matter certainly cannot be decided over the phone."

Ha ha.

Luo Yang didn't say anything, but he was thinking to himself.

This matter is probably still something that Empress Dowager Gu can decide, right?
"Smoking after dinner!"

The two were chatting when Gu Honglan appeared in the living room: "Hurry up and put it out."

Luo Yang had just lit his cigarette when Empress Dowager Gu shouted at him, forcing him to immediately extinguish it.

When the father and son arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Fan had already set out the bowls and chopsticks.

She smiled sweetly when she saw Luo Yang: "You're back! Want to have some baijiu with Dad tonight?"

"Lanzi, get me a bottle of strong Wuliangye liquor."

Having just learned that his son and Jiang Fan were preparing to get their marriage certificate, Luo Jianguo was in a good mood and waved his hand, saying, "Yangyang and I will each get half a catty."

Gu Honglan probably learned something from Jiang Fan, and a smile remained on her face.

"Fanfan and I will also have some red wine."

She said excitedly, "Let's celebrate as a family."

Jiang Fan naturally wouldn't object to her mother-in-law's opinion, and even actively helped to get the wine opener and decanter.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

After they started eating and drinking, Gu Honglan saw Luo Yang silently picking at his food, so she put down her chopsticks in dissatisfaction and glared at him.

"Don't you all already know?"

Luo Yang grimaced, but he still announced the marriage registration in front of everyone.

"Yangyang, that's not right of you!"

Despite her inability to hide her smile, Gu Honglan still tried to maintain a certain composure: "How can a girl bring up something like this? No, you have to give her a proper ceremony. Prepare the ring and get ready."

Jiang Fan blushed deeply after hearing her mother-in-law's words.

But she refused to bow her head, looking at Luo Yang with expectant eyes.

Yes, what girl doesn't dream of a romantic proposal?
Who else is as eager as her to get a marriage certificate with her fiancé, as if she can't wait to get married tomorrow?

"I was negligent in this matter."

Luo Yang realized his mistake and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Mom, when you and my mother-in-law discuss the date for getting our marriage certificate, could you postpone it a little? Give me at least a week or two to prepare. I'll plan it out properly and give Fanfan a romantic proposal."

"That's right."

Luo Jianguo chimed in, "You two fell in love on your own, dating since high school, and now you've finally tied the knot. So giving your wife a romantic proposal would be a fitting end to the relationship."

"What? You guys started dating in high school?"

Gu Honglan glared at her son and said, "Didn't you tell me you only started dating in college?"

"Uh"

Luo Yang scratched his head and said, "We had feelings for each other in high school, but we officially became a couple after we entered university."

Gu Honglan was skeptical.

"Shouldn't the focus of our discussion right now be on me and Fanfan getting our marriage certificate?"

Luo Yang quickly steered the conversation back on track: "And what about the wedding date? Should we choose a suitable time or wait until Fanfan is pregnant before deciding?"

When the topic of pregnancy came up, Gu Honglan's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's good to get pregnant sooner rather than later."

Her gaze shifted to Jiang Fan: "Fanfan, let me tell you, you should have a baby while you're young. Your recovery is stronger, and the damage to your body will be minimal. I have a lot of experience with this. I'll take care of you during your postpartum period!"

"Mom, you don't need to worry about Fanfan's postpartum recovery. I will take Fanfan to Hong Kong."

Luo Yang interjected, "They are very advanced in this industry over there. Many pregnant women from wealthy families choose to go to Hong Kong for postpartum recovery, including body shaping, stretch mark removal, postpartum rehabilitation therapy, and maternal mental health care."

"Yes, yes, let's go to Hong Kong. Our family has plenty of money."

Even without considering his shares, Luo Jianguo's current annual salary is 300 million yuan before tax. Including year-end bonuses, he can easily earn tens of millions of yuan a year.

When you have money, you speak with more confidence.
