Chapter 237 Meeting
Chapter 237 Meeting
Her father disappeared when she was very young, and her impression of him was vague throughout her childhood. During the time when she and her mother depended on each other, although life was hard, her mother gave her all her love, and she lived a very happy life.
When she was ten years old, her mother remarried and took her with her. Zhang Qiang was very nice to his mother at first, but about two years later, Zhang Qiang became addicted to alcohol. He drank more and more and came home drunk every night.
His mother cared about him at first, but gradually he got more and more wounds on his body, and his mother became silent. Even when she heard the door open, she would be pushed into the room as soon as she heard it.
She didn't understand at first, but after listening to their arguments for a few years, she slowly began to understand. Zhang Qiang hated his mother for not being able to have children. He felt that life was meaningless and that the money he earned was used to support other people's children.
Seeing how miserable he was, his mother wanted to separate from him so that he could find a woman who could have children with him.
At this time, Zhang Qiang started to act like a rogue, thinking that it was not worth it to spend so much money to marry his mother and get a divorce now.
So he asked his mother to go out to earn money to support the family, and he no longer contributed to the family income. He spent all the money he earned every month on drinking.
In the end, Zhang Qiang drank himself to death. At that time, Zhang Qiang lay at home every day, eating when he was hungry and drinking when he was thirsty. Every time she returned home, the first thing she saw was not her family, but the smell of alcohol.
After she started working, the thing she hated most was alcohol, but this world is like being soaked in a wine barrel. If you smell it enough, you will become desensitized to it.
It was probably from that time that she no longer had any concept of festivals. She just lived one day at a time, and as long as she was not dead, she was lucky.
Feng Yi saw that she was silent: "What's wrong?"
Chang Yao came back to her senses and stopped thinking about the past: "These should be enough for us to eat, no need to make more."
Feng Yi saw that the amount was about right, so he went to the kitchen to boil water and slowly put the dumplings in.
Chang Yao picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dumplings and stuffed them into her mouth. These dumplings didn’t taste like her mother’s.
Feng Yi noticed that she didn't seem to have a very good appetite. She was usually not picky about food and ate very happily. She liked meat the most, and this dumpling was filled with pure meat.
He tasted it and thought it tasted okay: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm not very hungry." Chang Yao put down her chopsticks.
"Or do you not like dumplings?" Feng Yi felt at this moment that he didn't understand Chang Yao at all.
"No, I'm just not hungry yet. If you're hungry, just finish your meal." Chang Yao sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
After New Year's Day, they still have to work for a few more days before officially going on vacation. They returned to the company and the team members held a meeting. Nanxi Apartments have been on sale for some time, and robot butlers have also entered the market. Sales are currently good, but their main focus is still apartments.
The purpose of this meeting was to promote Nanxi Apartment. The meeting room was quiet and no one spoke first.
They thought that as the Chinese New Year was approaching, they would just have to deal with some trivial matters in the company, such as cleaning, but they didn't expect it to be so big. It was like after returning from vacation, they had to face the performance issues directly, and the bonus was very hot.
If one of them doesn't do a good job, this year's performance will probably be worse than last year after the New Year, so they have to work hard.
Feng Yi saw through their thoughts at a glance: "Apartments are our main project, but robot butlers are selling better now."
Last year's sales performance was barely passed thanks to Yan Yi's support. As for this year, he must prepare for the future and not give the board of directors another chance to cause trouble.
I had Yan Yi before, but I may not be so lucky this year. It is safer to rely on myself.
"If you can increase sales, you will get an additional bonus of 100,000." Feng Yi saw that these people were silent and could only use bonuses to motivate them.
Everyone became excited when they heard about money. Qiao Mingxuan said, "Our Propaganda Department will come up with a plan as soon as possible."
"There's nothing much to show for the sales department anymore. We've already given away everything we can. The next change will probably be the discounts on home purchases."
If the price is lowered, it will cause dissatisfaction among the previous owners, which is not easy to deal with. It is better to cooperate with the publicity department to promote it. Maybe you can attract more people to buy houses.
Chang Yao is not like them who look for their own problems. She faces the apartment problem directly: "Building apartments is to attract buyers with robot butlers. Now you can buy robot butlers separately without buying a house, so apartments are not so popular.
"When we opened the B&B model, it did attract more traffic, but there were also potential problems. Some owners reported that some of the tourists who came were dishonest and would deliberately approach the female owners to grope or steal things. Since they didn't stay long anyway, they started to act recklessly."
Min Sisi asked: "Chang Yao, how come we don't know about this?"
"I was working in property management at the time. I added the contact information of some owners in Nanxi Apartments and created a group. They came to me to report their problems."
Min Sisi nodded and felt inferior. In order to sell the house, Chang Yao even worked in the property management. She was jealous of Chang Yao at that time and found trouble with Chang Yao every day.
Feng Yi had originally opened this line as a stopgap measure. Since this year's performance had just begun, he could give up on it a bit: "We won't be running the tourist line anymore."
"There are also film and television shoots. They even destroyed Mr. Fang's design after filming. The owner said the greenery looked much uglier."
"This piece is also abandoned."
The sales department was unhappy to hear that President Feng was so straightforward and abandoned everything. They knew that their performance this year would definitely not meet the target. They had finally had a good year this year, and they couldn't become thin next year.
"Mr. Feng, this already accounts for 80 percent of the apartment's income." They almost said that the house could not be sold and they could only rely on these scattered incomes to fill the gap.
Without these scattered things, it will be difficult for them to deliver good-looking data at the end of the year.
Feng Yi said, "These two pieces were indeed used to temporarily fill the performance gap. Now I think they are indeed inappropriate. Chang Yao, what do you think?"
"Since Nanxi Apartments is known for its robotics, I'll design a robot. I'll contact the owners and see what they need."
The sales department immediately complained, "You make it sound so easy, but designing a robot, how much money is needed, and when can it be made? All these are financial costs."
"This is just my immature idea. If it's outrageous, I take it back." Chang Yao said.
Feng Yi said that this was not a momentary impulse, but a judgment based on data. If the apartment continues to develop in this way, it will completely become a low-end community, which is quite far from the original concept.
"Until a specific plan is released, the current status of Nanxi Apartments will not change. These two areas will only be removed once a new promotional plan and new plans are released."
The sales department was so angry that they dared not say anything and just watched them make trouble. In the end, it was still their sales department that took the blame.
After the meeting, the Publicity Department was anxious, the Sales Department had gloomy faces, and they were the only ones who were calm.
Min Sisi approached her: "Chang Yao, do you have any general idea?"
"No, but I think Nanxi Apartments became popular in the beginning because of the robots. Once robots can replace the joy of owning an apartment, no one will pay attention to apartments anymore."
