Chapter 3093: Nowhere to Stand

The manager Chen on the phone is now the general manager of Jiqingtang, and he is also a popular figure in the antique street.

When Zhou Liangyun was the general manager of Jiqingtang, Manager Chen was his deputy. His professional ability was average, but he was very tactful and had accumulated good connections in the antique street.

After Zhou Liangyun was fired by Song Wanting, Manager Chen temporarily filled the vacancy of general manager.

Song Wanting also knew that Manager Chen's professional ability was not qualified for this position, so her plan was to let Manager Chen take over for a while and then replace him when she found a more suitable candidate, so his position at that time was changed from deputy manager to deputy manager. Became acting general manager.

However, Song Wanting's relationship with Ye Chen became closer and closer. Thanks to Ye Chen's help, her status and strength in the Song family continued to rise like a rocket, and Ji Qingtang's business became more and more important. I can't care anymore.

Now, Wanting Song has become the head of the entire Song family and the helmsman of the family worth hundreds of billions of yuan. Naturally, a small side business like Ji Qingtang is even more insignificant, so she does not invest more energy in Ji Qingtang.

The owner didn't pay much attention to this business, so Manager Chen gradually took off his hat as acting general manager and became the real general manager.

In the Jinling antique industry, Ji Qingtang is the well-deserved big brother, and Manager Chen is the talker here, so no one in the entire antique street does not give him some respect.

At this time, Manager Chen couldn't remember the person on the phone, so he said directly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

The stall owner quickly said attentively: "Manager Chen, do you still remember Manager Zhou? It was the Manager Zhou of Ji Qingtang when you were the deputy manager..."

Manager Chen subconsciously asked: "You mean Zhou Liangyun?"

The stall owner said without thinking: "Yes, it's Zhou Liangyun. I'm calling you just to tell you that Zhou Liangyun is back!"

Manager Chen asked: "Zhou Liangyun is back? Where are you going?"

The stall owner said: "He's back to the antique street! I was just about to close the stall when I saw him entering the antique street. Then I exchanged greetings with him and he told me that he planned to open a shop in the antique street!"

"What?" Manager Chen's voice suddenly became alert. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are you sure it's Zhou Liangyun himself?"

The stall owner patted his chest and said, "It's guaranteed to be genuine!"

Manager Chen murmured in surprise: "Why did he suddenly come back to Jinling? If he wanted to open a store, he couldn't open a store anywhere, so why did he come to Jinling?"

The stall owner immediately echoed: "Manager Chen, when Zhou Liangyun comes back this time, does he want to regain his position as the manager of Ji Qingtang? I should say something that I shouldn't say. Everyone said that the business conditions of Ji Qingtang have been poor during this period. It’s not good. There are still recruitment information for general managers on the recruitment website. Now that Zhou Liangyun has suddenly returned, you must be careful..."

After hearing this, Manager Chen felt a little worried.

Originally, the Song Group's financial team had always suggested that Song Wanting cut off Ji Qingtang and related antique businesses. After all, Jinling itself is not the center of national antique exchanges, not even a hub. Ji Qingtang's business is in this soil. In itself, it is difficult to grow.

Moreover, Ji Qingtang’s income situation is not optimistic either.

After Manager Chen took over, although Ji Qingtang's business was not small, due to the lack of experience of the entire management team, Ji Qingtang has basically been struggling to maintain its capital during this period.

According to the financial department of the Song Group, if the business line of Ji Qingtang is retained, not only will there be no room for profit, but it is likely to begin to suffer losses in the near future. If this business is stopped now, Ji Qingtang can also be packaged and sold. , fixed assets plus brand value, there is still a certain profit, but once Jiqingtang starts to lose money, its value will become lower and lower, and may even return to zero in the end.

Therefore, Jiqingtang is like a house in the period of plunge in house prices. Whenever it is sold, it is considered to be sold at the high price at that time, because if it is left in the hands, the value will only get lower and lower.

However, Wanting Song has her own thoughts on this business.

It doesn't matter if Ji Qingtang doesn't make money, it doesn't matter if it loses some money. She just hopes that Ji Qingtang can maintain it, because after all, this is the place where she and Ye Chen first met.

Moreover, even if Ji Qingtang loses money, the money it can lose is nothing more than a drop in the bucket in Song Wanting's eyes. Keeping Ji Qingtang will not cost much at all.

Manager Chen's performance in the first few months after taking over was not ideal, and he was particularly worried, fearing that Wanting Song would take him out. However, as time went by, he discovered that Wanting Song did not seem to care about Ji Qingtang's performance. Although the profits were getting lower and lower, Everything here is still the same as before, and no one comes to hold me accountable or interfere with me.

Later, Manager Chen realized a truth: Wanting Song didn't seem to care whether Ji Qingtang made money or lost money. She might just want to keep Ji Qingtang's brand name. It didn't matter if it didn't make money, and it didn't matter if it lost some money.

Manager Chen didn't know that Wanting Song kept Ji Qingtang because of her feelings for Ye Chen.

He just thought one-sidedly that Song Wanting started her career from Ji Qingtang, and she might regard this place as her blessed place.

People who do business, especially those who do big business, have some superstitions and metaphysics, and they often have feelings about the place where they made their fortune.

Manager Chen, who recognized this, began to sit back and relax in Jiqingtang.

Although Ji Qingtang's business is getting worse and worse, his life is extremely comfortable. In Ji Qingtang, he is a poor county magistrate with a sky high and an emperor far away. Although the money and money are not huge, the advantage is that he has great autonomy and lives. It was quite comfortable.

Now he suddenly heard that Zhou Liangyun was back, which immediately gave him a strong sense of crisis.

Manager Chen has worked under Zhou Liangyun for a period of time. He knows that Zhou Liangyun is very accomplished in the field of antiques. He never looks at things with a blind eye and can see the true value of them at a glance. He can be called a sharp eye in the field of antiques.

If Song Wanting hadn't been offended by the bottle incident, Zhou Liangyun would definitely not have been kicked out of Ji Qingtang.

In fact, if Zhou Liangyun had a better attitude that time, Wanting Song would definitely keep him out of love for his talents.

It was just that Zhou Liangyun had already completed the tasks assigned to him by Ye Changying at that time, so he had no intention of staying in Jinling. Therefore, he showed no remorse in front of Song Wanting, and shamelessly threatened Song Wanting with resignation, which finally prompted Song Wanting to bear the pain. dismiss.

Therefore, Manager Chen was also very worried, fearing that when Zhou Liangyun came back this time, he was worried about his position as general manager.

So, he said to the vendor: "You continue to keep an eye on Zhou Liangyun for me. If you have anything to tell me immediately, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future."

The vendor immediately said: "Okay, Manager Chen, don't worry, I will notify you as soon as possible if anything happens!"

After hanging up the phone, Manager Chen immediately summoned several guys from Ji Qingtang.

These people are all the confidants he recruited and trained after taking over Ji Qingtang. During this period, Manager Chen has made little progress in business, but has made great achievements in personnel. He has replaced all the people who cannot obey his words. The remaining few people worked together with him in Jiqingtang, opened a lot of rat warehouses, and took away a lot of money from Jiqingtang's books in various names.

Their most common method is to buy high and sell low in the business of collecting antiques. For something that was originally worth half a million, a few of them would advance the money to get it, then find a vest and take it to the store, where they would then let a few of them take it. They decided to take it back at a price of 700,000, and the difference would naturally fall into their pockets;

And the items that were originally taken back for 100,000 yuan a few years ago have obviously increased in price to 200,000 yuan, but they deliberately caused some damage that could be repaired, and then sold them as defective products for tens of thousands of yuan. They recovered some of their losses, but the price difference was pocketed by them.

Manager Chen's formal style focuses on spreading the rain and dew equally. All the remaining employees received money, and everyone naturally became a team.

At this moment, Manager Chen asked them to close the store first, and then summoned them to the manager's office. As soon as he came up, he said with a solemn face: "I just received the news that Zhou Liangyun is back."

All the employees were immediately surprised.

Most of these employees are old employees and naturally know Zhou Liangyun very well.

Although the other people have never met Zhou Liangyun, they have heard of some of his deeds.

When they heard that Zhou Liangyun was back, everyone was a little curious as to what he was going to do when he suddenly returned to Jinling.

Manager Chen said with a dark face: "Someone told me that Zhou Liangyun plans to build a shop in the antique street, but I think he doesn't just want to open a shop. If one day he and Song Wanting get on the line again and come back to Ji Qingtang If you sit in my seat, we might be in big trouble!"

One of the employees quickly said: "Brother Chen, this guy named Zhou was fired because he offended Mr. Song, right? How could Mr. Song let him come back?"

Manager Chen said coldly: "You know nothing. In the eyes of business people, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies! Zhou Liangyun is a bit clever. Although he has not been working here for a long time, he has been able to collect goods for the store. We bought a lot of good things, and we will sell them one after another, and the profit will be at least tens of millions. But so far this year, our book profit is only less than 100,000 yuan, which is almost the scalp stuck in the cost. Although Song Wanting is not here Making trouble for us, but this also means that Wanting Song doesn’t take us seriously at all. Keeping us is just to help her watch the door of Jiqingtang so that Jiqingtang will not close the store. Since Wanting Song doesn’t care about us. There may be some feelings, so why would she keep us if there is a better candidate?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded immediately.

Manager Chen added: "You guys, please be very alert from now on and pay close attention to Zhou Liangyun's every move in the antique street. This time, I will make sure that he has no place in the antique street!"
