Chapter 191 - 191: Company Development Plan
Meanwhile, the construction of Peng City’s project had commenced. The construction team under the Sany Group had already entered the site. Simultaneously, in the distant Fuxing steel plant, with the arrival of Zhou Jilong and others, work had also resumed!
It’s worth mentioning that Bai Bo had visited Li Wei multiple times to discuss the matter of purchasing houses. Li Wei had consulted Zhou Chao several times, and Zhou Chao felt that things were pretty much settled. He authorized Li Wei to proceed as he saw fit, but cautioned against taking overly ambitious steps, as that could lead to complications.
“Hey, boss!” Lin Wu called as he opened the fridge, preparing to grab some fruits.
“Mmm, what’s up?” Zhou Chao mumbled with a large date in his mouth, barely comprehensible.
“You mentioned yesterday that the meeting has been scheduled. It’s set for 2:30 PM at the Jinmao Building headquarters.”
“Got it.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, looked at the fruits neatly arranged on his table, and peeled them, creating a fruit platter.
“It’s still early, just a little past 9. I’ve got time to play a few more games!” He headed upstairs to continue gaming.
“Wait, it’s already 2 o’clock?” After finishing a ranked match, Zhou Chao noticed the time in the bottom right corner of his computer screen. He had only half an hour left before the meeting. He shut down the computer and rushed to his bedroom.
“As the boss, they shouldn’t mind if I’m a bit late, right?” He changed into fresh clothes, grabbed his car keys, and hurried out.
By the time Zhou Chao arrived at the underground parking lot of Jinmao Building, it was already 2:30 PM.
“Lao Ling, why do you think the boss hasn’t arrived yet?” Qianjin asked Ling Chen in a hushed tone.
“I have no idea. Maybe you should call and remind him!” Ling Chen replied with a mischievous grin, teasing Qianjin.
“You just want to see me embarrassed, don’t you?” As they chatted, Zhou Chao had already taken a crowded elevator and arrived at the meeting room door.
After a brief adjustment, Zhou Chao pushed open the door and walked in.
“Boss, good afternoon!” The crowded room of people stood up and greeted Zhou Chao in unison.
“Please, have a seat.” Zhou Chao waved his hand, indicating that everyone should sit down.
“Sorry for being late, everyone. It’s my fault, and I apologize.” He acknowledged his tardiness, surprising some of the people present.
“All right, let’s start the meeting. Who’s going to give the first presentation?” Zhou Chao turned his gaze to Ling Chen and Qianjin.
The two exchanged a glance, and Ling Chen spoke up, “I’ll go first.”
With that, Ling Chen opened his laptop and connected it to the projector, beginning his presentation.
“At present, Dragonfly Group owns a total of 32 wholly-owned subsidiary companies, including entertainment, charity, gaming, security, food, transportation, supermarkets, and more. In addition, we’ve invested in seven companies and achieved absolute control, mainly in pharmaceuticals, technology, and the internet. Currently, each of these companies is self-sustaining, and their development is very promising. Furthermore, our charity projects have constructed dormitories and cafeterias in remote areas, and the Baby Plan implemented last year has made excellent progress!” Subsequently, the heads of various companies under the group reported on their company’s situation, this year’s development direction, and goals. After listening to these reports, Zhou Chao’s mind was already in chaos.
“Well, this year, our main focus as a group will be on the tangible economy. We aim to build the necessary industrial chain and aim for self-sufficient management that isn’t swayed by external factors. Do you all believe in this direction?” Zhou Chao asked the leaders representing various companies within the Dragonfly Group.
“Yes!” Seeing the enthusiastic spirits of everyone, Zhou Chao nodded in satisfaction.
“Qianjin, how about your division?”
“This year, we will work hard to complete the task you assigned last year, having our hotels all over the country, aiming for a total of 400 hotels!” “While ensuring quantity, I want to emphasize the importance of quality. 1 don’t want to hear any complaints about hotel services. Additionally, hotel room safety should be a priority, with regular inspections and testing to eliminate any privacy invasion issues, such as hidden cameras. This is crucial because you wouldn’t want someone to film you while you’re sleeping, right?” “Don’t worry, boss. I’ll arrange a hotel self-inspection as soon as possible to check all our existing hotels thoroughly.”
“All right. Does anyone else have anything to report?” Zhou Chao looked around, but no one raised their hand.
Zhou Chao stood up. “Since there are no further reports, let’s end the meeting here. It’s already 6 p.m. Qianjin, please arrange for us to have dinner together. Let’s get to know each other because we may have collaborations in the future.”
Zhou Chao left first, and the others followed, leaving the meeting room in groups.
Lin Wu drove the Phantom, while Zhou Chao, Ling Chen, and Qianjin sat in the back.
“In the near future, the company will enter the semiconductor industry. So when you are making arrangements, especially you, Ling Chen, consider the raw materials. Ensure that you have your own channels and companies in the supply of raw materials. When the time comes to divide the cake, we won’t be at the mercy of others.”
“Boss, I understand.” Zhou Chao nodded in response to the words and then engaged in casual conversation with the others.
The imposing motorcade parked in front of the Hilton Hotel, and the group walked straight to the reserved private room.
“Tonight, we’re leaving business talk aside. We’ll simply enjoy some drinks and food, and if we happen to get too tipsy, we’ll let our families know and spend the night right here. Relax and enjoy!”
Subsequently, the group of them went to the adjacent private room. After all, if they drank in the same room, they wouldn’t dare to indulge in excessive drinking.
Zhou Chao and the others continued drinking until around 10 PM, with the dishes served in two rounds before they called it a night.
They didn’t drink much; each of them had only consumed half a bottle of liquor. They were here to enjoy some drinks and conversations, listening to Ling Chen and Qianjin sharing their past anecdotes.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll get a designated driver for myself tonight,” Lin Wu said, as he had also consumed alcohol tonight.
“Boss, then I’ll leave first!” Ling Chen and Lin Wu found designated drivers and left the restaurant.
Seeing their cars depart, Zhou Chao waved to Qianjin, then found a designated driver and returned home.
After getting home, Zhou Chao took a shower, and as soon as he lay down on his bed, he received a call from Jiang Li.
“All Li, you’re still awake?”
“Aren’t you still awake?”
“I had a meeting at the company earlier today and we had dinner together tonight. I’ve just arrived home and settled into bed.”
“Brother Chao, can 1 come to Modu tomorrow?”
“Sure, we’re actually planning a trip to Hong Kong Island in a few days, and we also have some business matters to attend to. The timing is just right!” “Really? Then I’ll come tomorrow!”
“Sure, I’ll pick you up!”
They chatted for a while longer, and then Zhou Chao asked Jiang Li to get some rest, as she had a flight to catch tomorrow. After that, he hung up the phone.
After scrolling through short videos for a while, Zhou Chao finally drifted into dreamland..
