349: Creating something out of nothing
Everything was proceeding so smoothly and methodically that Qian Ziyong found it hard to believe.
During this time, his mother gave birth to a baby girl, his younger sister.
He had a younger sister!
His mother, fearing she would delay his work, stayed for three days before being sent away.
Right after leaving the hospital, he received a call from Pang Chengye: Feihuang Plaza was completed!
What?
That fast?
Qian Ziyong was quite surprised and hurried to the construction site.
It could no longer be called a construction site; it had completely transformed.
Pang Chengye saw Qian Ziyong approach and quickly stepped forward.
"Manager Pang, how did you manage to turn a piece of land into a shopping mall in just two and a half months?" Qian Ziyong asked in astonishment.
Pang Chengye waved his hand, "It's not my credit; it's all thanks to the hard work of the workers!"
"And the excellent work of the various decoration companies from Shen City."
The decoration companies in Shen City were incredibly fast; as long as the money was in place, their decoration speed was simply astonishing.
Oh, right, the task they gave the decoration companies was: whoever decorated the fastest and passed inspection would continue to receive their work.
In other words, whoever had the fastest decoration speed would get more work, and whoever was slow would get less work, naturally earning less money.
The price they offered the decoration companies was 20% higher than the market price, resulting in 40% more profit!
Their Feihuang Plaza was the best client; apart from strict quality requirements, there were no other drawbacks.
Most importantly, the speed of payment was as fast as possible!
As for the workers, there's no need to mention; they worked in three shifts, with countless workers on site, and Feihuang Restaurant provided the best logistical support from behind.
The workers ate well, slept well, and rested well.
Moreover, they were paid daily, so there were no wage arrears.
Naturally, the speed was as fast as possible!
Coupled with Qinghui Plaza opening early, Feihuang's employees felt a sense of urgency, intensifying their work.
This is why Feihuang Plaza was completed in such a short and incredible two and a half months!
Qian Ziyong said, "Since it's finished, let's open tomorrow!"
"Manager Pang, you've worked hard during this period. Please take the workers back to Han City. I'm entrusting Feihuang Kindergarten and Feihuang Hospital to you all."
"Oh, and after Feihuang Kindergarten and Feihuang Hospital are completed, I plan to build Feihuang Elementary School and Feihuang Middle School!"
"As for the office buildings and commercial residences on Feihuang Plaza, we'll take our time!"
He didn't have much money now, so the office buildings and commercial residences on Feihuang Plaza could only proceed slowly.
Upon hearing this, Pang Chengye was ecstatic.
The more work, the better; he was truly afraid of being idle with nothing to do.
Otherwise, earning several million in salary a year, he would feel a great sense of guilt.
However, opening tomorrow?
Pang Chengye was a bit surprised: "Boss, aren't you going to promote it?"
"I saw Qinghui Plaza did a lot of promotion before its opening..."
Qian Ziyong shook his head: "No need for promotion, just open directly!"
He was afraid that promotion would make Feihuang Plaza too popular.
He just wanted stable happiness, to let this cycle pass steadily.
Chen Jingfu, Sun Youan, and the others were all here. Seeing Qian Ziyong approach, they all came forward together.
"Brother Chen, Sun Dage..." Qian Ziyong greeted them.
The few of them were a bit uneasy. Chen Jingfu quietly asked, "Ziyong, Feihuang Plaza is built. Can you give me a hint, how will you operate it?"
They had thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how Feihuang Plaza could outperform Qinghui Plaza.
Qian Ziyong said as if it were obvious, "Just operate it like this!"
Ah?
The few of them exchanged glances.
Just operate it like this?
And that will be enough to defeat Qinghui Plaza?
Qian Ziyong said, "I plan to open tomorrow. Li Lian, General Manager Li, should be able to manage Feihuang Supermarket well."
"Other matters will be handled by the respective managers. I believe that no matter how many customers come in, we will be able to handle it!"
Chen Jingfu and the others secretly thought, it's not about whether they can handle the customers; it's about whether there will be any customers at all.
Qian Ziyong didn't say much more, he walked around the mall and was very satisfied.
Just then, Ye Xiaoqin called him.
"Boss, I want to resign," Ye Xiaoqin's voice was tearful.
Qian Ziyong was puzzled: "Xiaoqin, what's wrong? Is your life not going well, or are you unhappy with your work?"
"Did an employee harass you? Tell me who it is, and I'll fire him immediately!"
Ye Xiaoqin was his goddess of wealth!
Currently, Feihuang Restaurant was the most stable source of losses.
Ye Xiaoqin said, "Boss, no one harassed me. I'm doing very well here."
"It's just... the restaurant hasn't made any money, and I feel very uncomfortable..."
The pressure was too great.
Ye Xiaoqin couldn't breathe!
One or two hundred million in losses every month, just flowing out like water.
Ye Xiaoqin felt very guilty.
Hearing that Ye Xiaoqin wanted to resign because Feihuang Restaurant was losing money, Qian Ziyong became anxious: "Don't rush!"
"Losing money is only temporary. I believe Feihuang Restaurant will start making money soon!"
"You've done very well at the restaurant, and your ability is strong. The reason Feihuang Restaurant hasn't made money isn't your problem, but because the time isn't right yet!"
Qian Ziyong had no choice but to use the delaying tactic, dragging it out one day at a time.
If it really didn't work out, he would transfer Ye Xiaoqin to another project.
Ye Xiaoqin was such a good talent; he had to utilize her well and absolutely could not let her get away!
"Really?" Ye Xiaoqin wiped away her tears.
She really liked Feihuang; the atmosphere here was excellent, employees treated customers like family, and the boss treated employees like family.
But the pressure of one or two hundred million a month was truly not something an ordinary person could bear!
"Don't worry!" Qian Ziyong guaranteed, using a master trick from the Thirty-Six Stratagems: creating something out of nothing.
Qian Ziyong patted his chest and promised, "I've arranged everything; everything is under control!"
"When spring arrives and flowers bloom, it will be our harvest season."
"All the money invested now will be earned back twofold, even dozens of times over!"
"Don't be afraid of losing; the more you lose, the more you earn."
"To catch a big fish, you need patience!"
Everything is under control?
Bullshit!
He hadn't planned anything; it was purely making things up and bragging wildly!
This seemed a bit cruel to Ye Xiaoqin.
Qian Ziyong gritted his teeth. Let it be a little cruel; for his great cause of losing money, a small sacrifice was worth it!
As the saying goes, if a person isn't ruthless, they can't stand firm.
Ye Xiaoqin, you just stay in your General Manager position, earning a hundred thousand a month.
Eat all day without working, and get nice and plump!
Ye Xiaoqin excitedly said, "Boss, will things really turn around soon?"
"Boss, have you really arranged everything?"
Qian Ziyong felt a bit guilty, but then he thought of what was written in the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
Any strategy, only when one believes it oneself, can it make others believe it too.
Qian Ziyong said in a very affirmative tone, "Don't worry, everything has already been arranged!"
"When the company starts making money, I'll get you a car!"
"You can go look for yourself now if you have time, casually look for one around 500,000!"
