I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 19 The first business after becoming a regular employee

Ye Li was about to ask more questions, but Deng Qiang came to the tea room the next second, and she could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Ye Li, Su Cheng, go to the conference room right now to meet a client. Oh, and call Qin Fen for me."

"Li Zi, you go first. I'll go get Qin Fen."

After Su Cheng finished speaking, he walked towards the office area with his coffee.

After calling Qin Fen, Su Sheng came to the meeting room.

Deng Qiang walked in with a young man who looked to be about thirty years old.

"Mr. Tang Li, please take a seat."

Deng Qiang sat in the middle, Su Cheng, Ye Li and Qin Fen sat on his left and right, and client Tang Li sat opposite them across the big table.

This was a very formal business meeting.

"Mr. Tang Li, please tell me your request."

Tang Li began his statement.

He started his own business a year ago and is the owner of a self-operated coffee shop, but the revenue is very poor and he has been losing money for half a year, blah blah blah...

Simply put, the cafe wants to improve its business conditions.

Deng Qiang didn't want to listen anymore after hearing half of it.

He thought the coffee shop wanted to build a brand and then prepare to list its national chain on the Nasdaq.

Deng Qiang has no interest in this kind of small business, so it is usually handled by K6 and interns.

A small coffee shop... He is only interested in business above a million level.

Before Tang Li finished speaking, Deng Qiang made an excuse to leave: "Mr. Tang, I have to go out to take care of something. You guys can chat first."

"Oh, okay." Tang Li nodded woodenly. He watched Deng Qiang leave, speechless for a few seconds. "Uh, should we wait for him to come back?"

"It's okay, Mr. Tang, just continue talking. We have all the records here." Ye Li pointed to the laptop in front of Qin Fen.

Ye Li knew Deng Qiang too well, and it was obvious that he didn't want to take on Tang Li's business.

Finding an excuse to slip away means leaving it to her and Su Cheng to deal with.

in fact.

Su Cheng also didn't want to do it.

He wouldn't be asked to do such a small job.

But there is no way.

After Su Cheng became a regular employee, he definitely entered a period of observation for his father.

Tang Li is Su Cheng's first business after being promoted to a regular employee, so he still has to perform well.

"Oh, then I'll continue."

Tang Li continued to state his situation.

Tang Li said a lot of nonsense, saying that he had wanted to open a shop when he was with his ex, and even though they broke up, he still wanted to continue running the coffee shop.

As Su Cheng listened, he felt like laughing.

Please.

We don't want to know why you opened your store or what your ideals are, nor do we want to know about your ex-girlfriend or why you broke up with her.

This has nothing to do with business performance!

Ye Li couldn't listen any further as the three sentences didn't get to the point.

"Mr. Tang, let me interrupt for a moment," Ye Li interrupted. "How long have you been in business?"

"It's been about a year. We started operating around this time last year."

"Okay, I'll ask you a few questions."

"Uh-huh."

"Where is your cafe located?"

Ye Li asked Tang Li in detail about the situation, including store location, investment situation, product pricing, and main products.

Tang Li asked back, "Huh? I run a coffee shop, so my main business is coffee, right?"

"Mr. Tang, I know this. What I mean is, what single product do you specialize in? Is it American coffee, latte, or cappuccino? That's what I want to ask."

"oh oh."

At this time, Ye Li, Su Cheng and Qin Fen looked at each other.

The three of them must have had the same thought in their minds at this moment, but due to their professionalism, no one showed it.

Hold it!
Those of them who work on the front lines of the company have seen many small business owners like this and are no longer surprised. Just an eye contact is enough to convey each other's ideas.

"We mainly sell American coffee now..."

Tang Li began to introduce himself under Ye Li's gradual guidance.

Next, Ye Li asked about other aspects of pricing, and Tang Li informed him one by one.

Tang Li added: "These items are all my own creations, and I've even applied for patents..."

Ye Li ignored this. She thought about it for a while, and then suggested going to see the store's location, area, and decoration in person.

"Okay, but I haven't signed the contract with you yet."

"It's okay, Mr. Tang. We also need to conduct an on-site inspection first so that we can help you comprehensively analyze your business situation and finally decide whether to take over."

Inspection is inspection.

Making suggestions is just making suggestions.

It's two different things.

There are many bosses who stole their professional advice but ran away without signing the contract.

If he doesn't sign the contract, he definitely cannot be given any analysis, guidance or suggestions. This is a common practice in the industry.

"Then let's add each other's contact information. I'll send you the location and you can follow the navigation."

After Ye Li and Deng Qiang reported for field work, they received the keys to the Maybach S450.

This is the company bus. In addition to its commuting function, it serves more as the company's face.

The four of them entered the elevator together.

"Eh? Where's that guy? Isn't he coming?"

"Yes, our leader is busy, let's go take a look first."

"Ok."

Tang Li's car is a red Ford Mustang, and it is an uncastrated version, with a rumbling exhaust after ignition.

The two cars drove onto the road one after the other.

Ye Li drove the car, Su Cheng sat in the passenger seat, and Qin Fen sat in the back organizing the information he had just collected.

"Brother Cheng, what do you mean?" Qin Fen asked.

"It's a bit Tang, but it seems there's still hope." Su Cheng gave a fair evaluation.

"I also think that this person's words are not focused. They are a mess. Only two or three out of ten sentences contain useful information." Qin Fen said crickets.

Qin Fen joined the company at the same time as Su Cheng, but he was successfully converted to a full-time employee, while Su Cheng stayed as an intern for an extra year.

Although Qin Fen was converted to a regular employee, his position in the company was no higher than Su Cheng's.

Su Cheng's internship evaluation was ranked last, and Qin Fen was even worse than him.

This also promoted the development of their relationship, and they became partners in the company.

But he and Qin Fen have gone beyond being colleagues in the workplace and get along quite well in private.

Qin Fen’s greatest advantages in becoming a regular employee are his education and diligence.

Just like his name, he is really hardworking and does all kinds of odd jobs.

This creates a contrast, making people feel that his academic qualifications are not very high, probably just an ordinary one.

But this guy actually graduated from Stanford.

Although it is only a one-year exchange, the value is very, very high.

So Su Cheng's business was actually quite smooth because he had the support of his Stanford colleagues.

As long as this academic qualification is presented, customers will honestly hand over their trust.

It’s just that he didn’t handle that much business, and because of Deng Qiang’s artificial score reduction, Su Cheng was ranked last.

It actually has nothing to do with his business ability, he is still very capable.

As for Qin Fen counting down...he is really counting down.

Ye Li, who was driving, heard the two men nagging the customer behind him and warned them mercilessly:

"Don't talk about Tang. You two will each be fined 200!"
