My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 229: Chapter 178: Chen Xiao’s Visit (Part 2)

Yino Group should make an example of the Jiangzhou branch. This will show all the general managers across the country that the company will handsomely reward those who make major contributions!

It’s about paying a king’s ransom for horse bones. I hope President Zhang will consider it!

Zhang Shijie received the message and read it carefully several times. ’Consider it? My ass! The big boss has already spoken!’

’You’ve already invoked the ’king’s ransom for horse bones’ analogy. If I just tack on a few thousand, I’ll look cheap!’

Zhang Shijie was decisive. He considered Liu Haoran’s unique circumstances, and the fact that this branch was a place President Chen and President Zhao frequently monitored.

He decided to pull the Yino Jiangzhou Branch out from under the regional division and designate it as a special zone.

Liu Haoran’s rank would be elevated to be on par with a Regional President. His compensation would naturally rise with his new status, set according to a Regional President’s grade.

Riding the wave of momentum from the Sa Mo brand acquisition, Zhang Shijie’s voice on the board had grown much louder. Coupled with President Zhao’s backing, he could decide a small matter like this all by himself.

He called Chen Xiao back and shared his idea. Chen Xiao was deeply impressed, finding it far more thorough than his own plan.

He looked at Liu Haoran and said, "President Zhang will be coming to Jiangzhou soon. President Haoran, you’ll have to have a proper drink with the leadership. This is a multi-level promotion for you!"

In Yino Group’s organizational structure, a Branch General Manager’s rank, depending on the branch’s size, generally ranged from Manager Level to Deputy Director and Director Level.

Liu Haoran was the General Manager of the Jiangzhou Branch, and his rank within the group was Deputy Director.

A Regional President, however, was at the level of a Group Vice President. This was equivalent to a two-level jump for him!

Keep in mind, many colleagues at the Deputy Director level hadn’t been able to clear that hurdle for six or seven years. After all, the higher you go, the fewer positions there are.

The higher you climb, the more stable the personnel. If no one leaves, how can those below get a chance for promotion?

This was basically an invitation from Chen Xiao. Zhang Shijie immediately promised to come and report to President Chen and President Zhao in the near future.

An opportunity to build a better rapport with President Chen and President Zhao was something he absolutely could not miss.

After hanging up the phone, when Chen Xiao informed Liu Haoran of his new personnel arrangement, Liu Haoran was so overcome with emotion he couldn’t speak.

’Group Vice President... My reporting line would change from the Regional President directly to the COO, the Chief Operating Officer. I might even be able to report directly to CEO Zhang Shijie on certain matters!’

’And my salary would definitely be over 100,000 a month, not to mention the year-end bonus would be on a completely different level!’

’The benefits—from a company car and housing allowance to my travel stipend—everything would be drastically upgraded!’

All of this was thanks to a single word from President Chen. Liu Haoran felt incredibly fortunate to be the General Manager of the Jiangzhou Branch. Otherwise, how would he ever have met President Chen and President Zhao?

’I’m also lucky I always took good care of Zhao Hui and Xu Jia,’ he thought. ’President Chen’s decision to promote me must be related to that to some degree!’

He also knew with absolute clarity that from this day forward, President Chen and President Zhao were his entire world.

If President Chen told him to march east, he would never march west; if told to beat a dog, he would never chase a chicken.

"Pres... President Chen!"

Even a man as composed as him was so excited his face turned beet-red. He offered the tea with both hands. "Please, drink your tea!"

Chen Xiao smiled. "President Haoran, this is just the beginning."

Liu Haoran’s ambition, dormant for so many years, suddenly roared to life like a wildfire.

’Now that I’ve boarded President Chen’s ship, I can truly ride the winds across the world and pluck stars from the heavens!’

Chen Xiao did indeed intend to win him over. He had been feeling increasingly short-handed lately and was focused on observing and cultivating a group of people. As his enterprise grew, he knew chaos would ensue if he didn’t have his own people to support him.

This was why he was always so keen on promoting his own people, like Zhao Hui and Xu Jia.

’If they become capable, they’ll be a huge asset. If not, I can still place them in positions where they can act as a check on others.’

As his ventures expanded, he gradually began to employ certain stratagems of power. He was also becoming more and more adept at the art of managing people.

"President Chen, Xu Jia is at the company today. Should I ask her to come over?"

Liu Haoran knew that Xu Jia was Zhao Xiangjun’s only best friend and that they were closer than actual sisters.

Chen Xiao had nothing better to do, so he nodded.

Liu Haoran said, "I’ll go get her myself."

Xu Jia had recently taken over three high-end brands—Sa Mo, Ledi, and Yino. Since none of the stores had opened yet,

she was busy every day training reserve employees in product knowledge and sales techniques.

Liu Haoran went to her desk but didn’t see her. When he heard she was in the large training room upstairs, he went there to find her.

Fang Qiang returned from outside looking full of spirit. As a business supervisor, he was often out negotiating deals.

Lately, aside from being rebuffed at Junxiao Square, he had been treated as a guest of honor at every other commercial plaza.

The Yino Jiangzhou Branch had recently become quite famous. The story of how they had snatched Sa Mo and Ledi from Four Seasons Clothing was already known to many property owners.

Of course, Fang Qiang himself was the source of most of this publicity. The business world was only so big; news like this spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, quickly becoming common knowledge.

When the Yino Jiangzhou Branch went up against Four Seasons Clothing, it was an absolute rout, leaving Four Seasons Clothing powerless to retaliate.

Four Seasons Clothing had lost much of its clout, while Yino Group, in turn, had become a priority client for numerous property owners.

Recently, the number of property owners coming to visit the Yino Jiangzhou Branch had been on the rise.

Of course, the property owners who came visiting were generally not the most powerful ones. Prime mall locations had countless brands lining up for them; who among them would lower themselves to come soliciting tenants?

Fang Qiang entered the office, tossed his briefcase onto his chair, and made a beeline for Liu Haoran’s office.
