Chapter 193 Team Building Promotion?

Chen Mo rubbed his somewhat stifled chest, unable to stop the twitch at the corner of his mouth.

The last time someone made him feel like this was… the rebellious Wei Yan.

Sure enough, the apprentice brought up by a rebellious person is also rebellious.

No good.

This Wu Yu cannot stay in the Business Department any longer. If he stays, who knows what kind of trouble he’ll stir up next.

But where should he be assigned to feel more at ease?

“Hey, President Chen, are you still there?”

Song Xia tentatively spoke after seeing that President Chen hadn’t responded for a while.

Chen Mo snapped back to reality upon hearing Song Xia’s call.

“Hmm, did those agents bring in many customers? Is the coffee shop profitable?”

This was his biggest concern.

The coffee shop, which had been running at a loss with great difficulty, suddenly turning a profit would almost bring him to tears.

“Not really. It’s just that the coffee shop’s performance has improved somewhat compared to before, but it’s still not enough to support its operations.”

Hearing Song Xia’s answer,

Chen Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that it wasn’t profitable yet. It seemed that the customers introduced by those agents were just isolated cases and didn’t have much impact.

After hanging up,

he leaned back in his chair, feeling a bit tired. The whole morning had been spent dealing with the mess caused by that guy Wu Yu.

Wu Yu!

He was really speechless now.

After a short break,

Chen Mo focused his attention on the system panel. Due to a series of unexpected events, the System Funds consumption he had planned hadn’t gone as expected.

He had intended to purchase storefronts for Nanhe coffee branch, but it ended up as low-cost rentals.

He saved nearly two million on that alone.

Plus the 300,000 agent fees for the three new agents, and the live streaming team’s revenue of over a hundred thousand, the coffee shop had at least some income.

Of course, the biggest chunk still came from Cangxue Games and Tianlong’s revenue.

So in these seven days,

instead of decreasing, the System Funds actually increased, reaching over five million.

The two-month deadline to reduce System Funds below 7.5 million was coming up the day after tomorrow.

Although the current five million System Funds met the settlement requirements, he had learned his lesson and couldn’t afford to be careless.

He still needed to spend money.

The employee gathering could be put on the agenda.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and finally decided not to attend this time. He would just set a spending limit and let them figure out how to use it.

Otherwise, with more and more employees, he wouldn’t be able to manage it all.

Of course, letting the employees spend the money wouldn’t be as much as if he spent it himself, but there was no other way.

With the new workshop expanding, each position had more staff. The Clothing Factory alone had already surpassed 120 people.

Add Cangxue Games and the coffee shop, and the total number of employees was nearly two hundred.

The Pet Park project was still under construction, currently only Pang Tao, Xu Zhengming, and a few employees.

With so many people, if he tried to supervise them to eat and drink more like before, he simply wouldn’t be able to keep up.

After confirming this, he pressed the call bell on the desk, and soon Shen Rou came over.

“Notify Cangxue Games, Pet Park, Nanhe Coffee, and the Clothing Factory. Tomorrow is the company’s team building day. Let them organize their own activities. Whether the four companies hold it together or separately, discuss among yourselves.”

“I have only one requirement: the total expenses for the team building of the four companies must not be less than one million.”

Two hundred employees, one million—an average of five thousand per person. If they couldn’t even manage that much spending, they were just useless.

“Understood, President Chen.”

Shen Rou nodded and left. She was already used to President Chen’s demands.

After all, every time President Chen held a team building or dinner, the expenses were always in the tens of thousands. Now with more people, one million was actually reasonable.

Back in her cubicle,

Shen Rou thought for a moment, then created a group chat and added key personnel from each company.

She then relayed President Chen’s recent order in the group.

“Whether each company holds their own team building or all together, if anyone has suggestions, feel free to discuss.”

Pang Tao: “I’m fine with anything. Since Pet Park only has two people right now, the heavy burden of this one million spending falls on your three companies.”

Pang Tao and Xu Zhengming, who were supervising Pet Park, exchanged a glance and sent this message.

But inside, they were shocked—one team building would cost one million.

President Chen was really generous; no wonder he invested five million in Pet Park without hesitation.

Li Shen: “I think it’s better to have a joint team building. It allows employees from different companies to interact and get to know each other, which helps company unity.”

Wei Yan: “Joint is fine, but President Chen gave us the whole day tomorrow. We can’t just eat and be done with it. That would waste President Chen’s goodwill.”

Wu Yu: “I have an idea. In the morning, we could visit some scenic spots in Jiangcheng City. In the afternoon, have the team building dinner, and in the evening, organize karaoke.”

Song Xia: “I’ve seen some companies bring banners during team building for promotion. Could we do that? The coffee shop isn’t well-known yet, and daily customers are few. I want to take this opportunity to promote it.”

Song Xia sat bored inside the coffee shop, looking at the messages in the group and sent this suggestion.

President Chen forbade event promotions, but indirect promotion through team building should be fine, right?

Wei Yan: “President Chen’s purpose for organizing team building is for employees to relax. Bringing cumbersome banners and slogans would be counterproductive. If it’s too tiring, the team building loses its meaning.”

Li Shen: “I have a suggestion. We could customize some small flags with the company’s name printed on them. They’re light and easy to carry. Each person can take one or two. If we meet passersby we like, we can give them away. This way, it won’t affect the outing at all.”

Wu Yu: “Not just the coffee shop, the Clothing Factory also needs promotion.”

Fang Chang: “The team building is tomorrow. Isn’t it too late to make those small flags now?”

Li Shen: “It’s not too late. The production process for these flags is simple. Making a few hundred won’t take long. And I have connections. Leave it to me.”

“………”

Shen Rou kept an eye on the group’s activity, secretly admiring President Chen’s vision. The heads of these companies were so dedicated that even during team building, they were thinking about the company’s development.

………

“Brother Yang, have you been adapting well these past couple of days?”

Chen Mo smiled as he looked at Yang Xingguo sitting across from him.

Yang had arrived at the Clothing Factory the day before yesterday and had a day off yesterday, Sunday.

“President Chen, the treatment at your company is the best I’ve ever encountered in all my years. If I can’t adapt to this, then I’m just made for hardship.”

Yang Xingguo sighed. Before working at the fruit stall, he had worked in many factories.

But none of those factories’ benefits could compare to President Chen’s company.
