Chapter 284 Xiao Xiao

"Pure construction can be discussed, but decoration is out of the question. I have suitable decoration options here."

Chen Mo took a sip of tea.

If the construction company could guarantee quality, there would be no problem.

But a decoration company was out of the question, especially since they were offering him a discount.

For decoration, he would just find Wang Yang.

He had also researched Wang Yang's decoration company. Cheng Lin Decoration's headquarters were in Jiang City, and it also had 5 branch offices.

This decoration company had a good reputation in Jiang City.

He had once considered acquiring this company, but after researching it, he gave up on the idea.

First, Cheng Lin Decoration was quite large, and acquiring it would require a significant amount of capital.

Second, and most crucially, Cheng Lin Decoration was profitable.

If he were to acquire it, wouldn't he be helping himself make money? How could that be?

Moreover, if he acquired a decoration company, the future decoration costs would certainly be much lower.

This would also indirectly reduce the system's capital consumption.

Therefore, it was better to give all the decoration work to Wang Yang, letting Wang Yang earn more.

Giving him a red envelope during holidays and festivals would also be quite good.

After all, these red envelopes would be counted towards his personal account.

"That works too."

Li Maode nodded.

"Jiang Cheng will be in charge of this matter. You can just coordinate with him."

Chen Mo directly assigned the task to Jiang Cheng.

"Alright, if there's anything to discuss, you two can talk. I'm going out to take a look."

With that,

Chen Mo got up and walked out of the office. He had come here today to deal with the reconstruction of the industrial park. Now that everything was arranged, there was naturally nothing left for him to do.

He arrived at the cafeteria.

He put leashes on Kui Kui and Qian Qian and took them out.

It had been a long time since he had walked them, but they clearly hadn't forgotten him, still appearing very affectionate when they saw him.

Just like that, he took the two dogs, Kui Qian, for a walk around the industrial park.

He also went into the workshops to take a look, but the employees clearly hadn't slacked off in their work just because he had moved out of the Clothing Factory.

The negative banners and slogans on the workshop walls were all for naught.

However, regarding this,

Chen Mo had also come to terms with it. Anyway, the Clothing Factory's clothes weren't selling well now because they lacked fame.

These employees working hard were just producing more clothes, which would then pile up in the warehouse.

The more they produced, the more they accumulated, and the more raw materials they consumed.

Thinking about it this way, it was still a good thing.

In the industrial park,

After walking the dogs for a while, it was almost time for the employees to get off work, so he left directly.

……….

Inside the Clothing Factory office,

Having just finished discussing the workshop reconstruction, Li Maode had already left.

Jiang Cheng was sitting at his desk, looking at a report.

This report detailed the total sales situation of the Clothing Factory's stores over the past half-month.

The sales revenue was only a little over 100,000 yuan.

With a total of over 70 retail stores, the sales revenue for half a month was only 100,000 yuan.

Averaging this out, the sales revenue for each store was less than 2,000 yuan.

This meant that each store sold about three pieces of clothing in half a month.

This sales revenue, in the face of the current production volume, was practically nonexistent.

But how to solve the sales problem? He had no clue.

While deep in thought,

It was already time to get off work.

He ate a simple dinner and returned to the dormitory.

"What's wrong? You look troubled again."

His wife, Wang Juan, entered the dormitory and asked.

"Nothing."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"What do you mean 'nothing'? Tell me quickly. Two heads are better than one, right?"

Wang Juan said as she took the clothes Jiang Cheng had taken off, brought them to the bathroom, and put them in the washing machine.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, saw his wife looking at him as she returned, and sighed.

"It's about the Clothing Factory's sales. In the past half-month, over 70 retail stores only generated about 100,000 yuan in sales. On average, each store only sold about 3 pieces of clothing."

"I'm worried that if this continues, I won't be able to explain it to General Manager Chen!"

"The Clothing Factory is gradually expanding, but if the clothes don't sell, that's not right."

Jiang Cheng rubbed his head in frustration. He had been troubled by this matter for a long time. Two days ago, he had asked someone to compile the overall sales figures.

Only then did he discover that the clothing store's revenue was even lower than expected.

Wang Juan frowned upon hearing her husband's words.

The Clothing Factory's continuous losses were indeed not good, especially now that her husband was the general manager. If he couldn't improve the situation, he would be letting down General Manager Chen's trust.

But how to solve it? The current clothing brand indeed had no reputation.

The prices were similar to those of branded clothing, or even a bit higher, so it was normal for them not to sell.

The prices were set by General Manager Chen, so lowering them was impossible.

After thinking for a moment, she looked up at her husband.

"Have the sales figures for each individual store been compiled?"

"No, I just had them compile the overall sales."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"How can that work? You need to understand the sales situation of each store. If you only compile the overall sales, you won't see anything."

"Since there's still about 100,000 yuan in sales, there must be some stores whose sales are still good."

"We can find the managers of these stores, consult them about the situation, and see how they sell. We can learn from their strengths and compensate for our weaknesses."

Wang Juan analyzed.

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Alright, I'll have someone compile that tomorrow."

……….

Capital City,

Stray Cat and Dog Rescue Station,

A woman held her phone, walking and talking.

"Brothers, I'm now at this place, a cat and dog rescue station located on the outskirts of Capital City."

"Today, I bought 100,000 yuan worth of dog food, ready to donate to the rescue station."

"The dog food is here. The rescue station staff have already started moving it into the warehouse."

The woman said, pointing her phone at the dog food in the distance.

The audience in the live stream immediately started scrolling with comments after hearing the streamer's words.

"Xiaoxiao, so kind."

"Xiaoxiao, truly so loving."

"Wife, I love you to death."

"Heh heh, such a big streamer, only donating 100,000 yuan worth of dog food? How pathetic."

"Where did this hater come from? Our Xiaoxiao has donated dog food here countless times, and has also donated money to children in impoverished mountain areas."

"Honestly, just spouting nonsense."

"……."

Du Xiaoxiao looked at the comments in the live stream and smiled slightly.

As for the haters' words, she directly ignored them. She had seen too many such people; they appeared every day, and she had long grown accustomed to them.

No matter what she did, it was always wrong.

When she first started donating dog food, they said she would rather help animals than help children in impoverished mountain areas, which was disgusting.

Or, when she donated to children in impoverished mountain areas, they said she was trying to gain publicity.

Or, like just now, they said she donated too little… and many other things.

These people might not have donated a single penny, but they could stand on the moral high ground online and point fingers.

For such people, she could only choose to ignore them; there was simply no reasoning with them.

Du Xiaoxiao adjusted her phone's position, preparing to walk into the rescue station, when she suddenly heard the roaring of taxis in the distance, followed by several small trucks slowly driving over.

Their destination was directly towards the rescue station.

Could they be here to donate supplies? Du Xiaoxiao thought, planning to stay and watch.

If these trucks were for donating supplies, it shouldn't be a small amount.

After all, she had donated 100,000 yuan worth of dog food, and that only used one small truck.
