Back to the prime of life

Chapter 222 Response
"With daily sales exceeding 15,000 units, an average selling price of over 45 yuan, and monthly sales exceeding 20 million yuan for two consecutive months, the total annual sales are likely to exceed 300 million yuan. This performance is indeed impressive."

In Chen Xiaohe's office, Lu Changge gave her a sincere compliment.

He vaguely remembered that Vancl's annual sales in 2009 were 6 million yuan, so there was still a gap, but being able to narrow the gap to the same order of magnitude was already a remarkable achievement.

In 2010, Vancl achieved a phenomenal year of rapid growth, with annual sales reaching a staggering 2 billion yuan and a company valuation exceeding 20 billion US dollars. The market regarded it as the third largest B10C e-commerce company after JD.com and Dangdang, and the news of its IPO made its philanthropic efforts the envy of outsiders.

This certainly has its merits in company management, but in essence, it is the success of applying this model to the market.

Therefore, it is not hard to imagine that Lumang will experience rapid growth in the fourth quarter of 09 and in 2010.

Chen Xiaohe had already started hearing people talk about listed companies and industry leaders when Lu Changge, who had just returned from the United States, told her that he was preparing to spread the news that he wanted to change hands over Lumang...

She was stunned the moment she heard about it.

Fortunately, her reaction was within Lu Changge's expectations. He raised his hand and said, "Calm down first. I didn't say now, but it won't happen before at least the fourth quarter."

"What's the difference? It's only a matter of four or five months."

That's true. He's been so busy lately that he feels time is flying by; four or five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Changge scratched his eyebrows with his finger and explained, "So I thought about it and decided to tell you. We can't delay too long. After all, you are one of the main people in charge. If we surprise you with this kind of news, it would not only be disrespectful to you, but it would also affect the company's operations."

"Wait, wait," Chen Xiaohe waved her hands repeatedly, "How could this be decided so easily? Are you determined or what? Do the others, your classmates, know about this?"

"The reasons are quite valid, and you won't accept them right away, but I believe you'll gradually understand. Besides, this matter isn't entirely heinous. None of us, including you, come from wealthy families. If we agree to my decision, everyone will receive a substantial sum of money. While we might not be able to spend it all, we can achieve a certain level of financial freedom. With a solid financial foundation, we can do what we like according to our own wishes. How can that be a bad thing?"

They're not a bunch of idealists striving to achieve their life's dreams and change human society; everyone's working so hard is actually for money.

Let's be realistic.

“Okay.” Chen Xiaohe wasn’t one to get easily emotional. She thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about it with everyone at a suitable time. It’s too sudden and everyone will be overwhelmed. Actually, personally, I don’t approve of your decision right now. Lu Mang is only a little over a year old, and she’s already shown such great potential. If you manage her well for a few years, she’ll have a bright future. It’s a great career. To be honest, I’ve been telling everyone I meet lately how well I made that job change.”

What could Lu Changge say? "Don't you think that young people are fickle, lack perseverance, and just tinker with things based on their hobbies, doing this and that without much direction?"

"Anyway, I didn't expect you to sell Hailan Bay."

"Hey, let's not talk about that. As for the casualness thing, I don't really think so. You said Lu Mang has a great future, but I don't think so. I have something I really want to do. If Sister Chen is still willing to trust me, we can just switch to another business after this one is shut down."

Chen Xiaohe raised an eyebrow. "My goodness, I'm over thirty. There's so much to learn when entering a new industry. I've only just learned how to sell clothes."

"You are a former school principal, so you naturally know that learning is endless and one should learn until old age."

Chen Xiaohe knew that she probably couldn't persuade him. She knew Lu Changge's personality. He usually seemed very kind, but in reality, he was quite opinionated. Once he made up his mind about something, no one else could say anything.

"So what are you going to prepare for next?" "Nothing much, just to be a bit more aggressive in marketing and boost the data."

This is the general policy. Of course, there are some details, which is one of the reasons why he wanted to tell Chen Xiaohe in advance, since she is the one in charge of the actual management.

On the other hand, it takes two to tango when it comes to buying and selling. Even if he's here waiting to sell, someone has to be willing to buy.

This is something that can't be done with the help of others; he has to do it himself.

The headache is September, when school starts again. In my final year of senior year, I basically won't have any classes, but I do need to prepare my final graduation thesis.

He is now a 'celebrity', and in order not to cause a major problem for himself and the school, he can ask for help with his graduation thesis, but he cannot have someone else write it for him. Even if he has to plagiarize, he must do it himself.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some of one's energy will be diverted.

Anyway, let's just keep moving forward little by little. There's always a way out.

So, from then until October, he stayed quietly in Jiangzhou. Shen Mo was working on the project with the money, while Zhou Shuang was quietly optimizing Pulsechat, waiting for an opportunity. When she had extra capacity, she also divided into two groups to develop some small games for smartphones.

The main event is probably Lu Changge's appearance. Since Lu Changge is in Jiangzhou, it's not good for him not to show up at the company. So, in the eyes of the company's employees, their boss is still very serious about management. In his internal training speeches, he keeps emphasizing the importance of internet user experience, as if he is studying it diligently.

He also strongly supports and attaches great importance to the launch of the new brand, which is overseen by Min Xiuwen, and is involved in all aspects from design to brand culture content...

One day, Lu Changge suddenly received a phone call from Xu Weiguo.

He immediately said, "Changge, I've arrived at the municipal government."

He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Really? You've become a city leader?!"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare say such things. No matter how big the steps are, they can't be that big. I'm the deputy secretary-general, serving the leaders."

Lu Changge was no stranger to government affairs, and he slapped his thigh, "Congratulations! Uncle Xu, this is a huge leap forward. Oh my, I told you it was the city leaders, and you still denied it, but I was right."

"Let's not talk about these things between us. When you have time, come to my house. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"it is good!"

Lu Changge was genuinely happy. He hadn't thought about doing anything illegal or disorderly, but in the world of martial arts, you can't just be weak and indecisive. You have to have some principles, otherwise, what will you do if trouble comes after you?
However, another problem has arisen. Xu Weiguo has always valued making a name for himself, after all, this is an important clothing sales terminal. Regardless of how much money it makes or its status in the e-commerce industry, its importance in social and economic activities is extraordinary.

So if you sell it rashly, Xu Weiguo will probably be somewhat unhappy.

But even a living person can't die from holding in their urine; there's always a way.
