Reborn 92's Business Tycoon

Chapter 470: Chapter 470: There's always trouble

In front of the small building of the decoration company, he saw the car drive into the yard. Mei Yiliang, who was originally in the lobby on the first floor, greeted the customer at the table and got up, smilingly walked over, but from time to time greeted Feng Yiping, with all his attention on the car body, 'Tut tut, a Mercedes-Benz is a Mercedes-Benz, the style, the workmanship, the paint, the interior,'

and then sat in the driver's seat, 'When will the rest of the cars arrive? Xu Bin said.'

Chen Xuefeng and the others, who had been really welcoming Feng Yiping, also came down. 'Uncle, even if the cars have arrived, they are not for you. They are all for the hotel. Even if you want to use them to entertain important clients, you still have to pay the hotel rent. If you like them, you might as well beg your aunt to let her buy you one,'

'Exactly, Mei. Behave yourself at home and ask your wife to buy you one. That way, you won't be jealous all the time,' Chen Xuefeng was actually not much better. After teasing Mei Yiliang, he quickly slipped into the seat behind the passenger seat, crossed his legs with ease, and said, 'A good car is a good car. Once you get in, you don't want to move.'

The managers of the engineering department and the actuarial department, who had followed, did not have much contact with Feng Yiping, so they greeted him and then looked at the two company veterans in the car with a smile.

Mei Yiliang changed positions a few times, but in the end reluctantly got up, gently closed the door, and said, 'I really like it, but as you can see, the back row is the most comfortable. That means if you buy this car, you'll also need to hire a driver, not to mention the fuel costs.

He looked at his car, which was also parked in the yard, and said, 'All things considered, my car is still better,'

The lobby on the first floor had long since changed its appearance and was being put to good use. Apart from the fairly wide aisle in the middle, there were small round tables on both sides, and several well-dressed young men and women were accompanying customers to discuss decoration plans. The girl sitting behind the reception desk didn't seem to be the receptionist. She had to read over the contract before it could be stamped. It looked as if there was no receptionist at the moment, and the person sitting there should be the head of the sales department.

As for the two floors of the office area upstairs, the population density is so high that even Feng Yiping feels embarrassed. 'You've worked hard, just hang in there for a few more months,'

After a few months, all the other departments moved to the hotel, and this small building was also ready to be demolished, along with the several plots of land next to it that had already been bought, to build Jiasheng's headquarters building.

Feng Yiping had long since stopped asking about the specific business, so he just met with these managers and didn't talk about work. Since he was back, he just wanted to take a look around, and the boss has to do his part, too.

After seeing Chen Xuefeng and the others off, Feng Yiping revealed his intention. 'Uncle, in places where we want to focus on development, such as the capital, we still need our own engineering department. Otherwise, if we always outsource specific operations, there will always be mistakes, and substandard materials will be used. The owners won't pay much attention to the places where the construction is being carried out... In the long run, this is not good for our brand. We don't need many, but we must have a few of our own construction teams,'

'We are considering this issue. By the end of the year, we should be able to spare ten construction teams, which will be transferred to the capital city next year. The main reason is that our supervisors cannot keep up, otherwise outsourcing will not be a big problem,' said Mei Yiliang.

'We must formulate stricter work standards for our own supervisors, especially increasing the severity of punishment. In my opinion, if something similar happens again, it would be better to simply send the case to court. Also, the security deposit for those commissioned construction teams must be increased to such an amount that they dare not do anything wrong.'

Feng Yiping was referring to an incident investigated by the Supervision and Audit Department. During a routine work inspection, the project director discovered that the panels used in an outsourced renovation project did not match those specified in the contract. The supervisor responsible for the project at Jiasheng did not raise any objections. Eventually, the Supervision Department intervened and discovered that not only the panels, but also other materials had been replaced with inferior ones.

It was later found that the supervisor had colluded with the appointed renovation team and had received nearly 10,000 yuan in kickbacks.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise the company would have spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to repair the damage caused by less than 10,000 yuan. Now that the internet is becoming more and more developed, it is very easy to post something online if something like this happens. Feng Yiping had done something like this himself at a later date.

House and car are the two things that the common people invest the most in their entire lives. Everyone also attaches great importance to things related to these two things. Therefore, when it comes to home improvement, everyone generally has high expectations. Even if the damage is not great and the impact is not significant, no homeowner is willing to calmly say that it's fine.

Just like everyone can get heartbroken, when renovating, even if there are no major problems, who hasn't had a few fights with the renovation team, not to mention when there is a real problem?

The same applies to buying a car. Otherwise, why are there so many online posts about 'unscrupulous decoration companies' and 'black-hearted 4S stores'?

To expand on this, the relationship between homeowners and renovation companies, and car buyers and 4S stores, is actually like that between patients and their doctors: there is a great deal of mistrust.

'We have already made adjustments, but with more and more business, and no matter how perfect the various processes are, such things are inevitable. Since they are inevitable, we are working on how to solve them when they arise. We are now optimising our solutions and working out how to deal with such things when they arise. Of course, the premise is that the homeowner is satisfied.'

Yes, there are always problems. 'Yes, I know. As the scale expands, similar problems are inevitable, but they must be reduced as much as possible. As long as there is one dissatisfied homeowner, we will definitely be on their bad side for many years.' Feng Yiping doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with not standing on the side of the homeowner. Only by thinking what the homeowner thinks and being anxious about what the homeowner is anxious about can the work be done well and the brand's reputation be good.

The furniture flagship store is always very busy. Cai Hong, dressed in a suit, is currently serving a middle-aged couple. She sees Feng Yiping approaching and nods at him with a smile, indicating that he should wait in the office. Feng Yiping strolls around the store for a while, teasing a little boy in the children's activity area. He has to admit that selling furniture is much more comfortable than selling electrical and mechanical products later on. There is a strong sense of life here, while in the electrical and mechanical products department, no matter how high-end and advanced the electrical and mechanical products are, they all give off a cold industrial atmosphere.

It seems that the conversation just now went well. Cai Hong came in in a good mood. 'Why are you back in such a hurry this time? I didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea when I got home yesterday. Why don't you invite your sister over for dinner tonight?'

'I already made plans for tonight. I really can't.' They had agreed to have dinner with Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning that night and have a good chat.

'Oh, now that you're doing big business, do you need to make an appointment to have dinner with you?'

Feng Yiping couldn't help laughing, 'Then let's go together, I was planning to eat with Changning and the others,'

Cai Hong was getting into the spirit of things, "What do you talk about together? I find that you're all the same, before you have a girlfriend or are settled down, you like to hang around with girls, but once you have a steady girlfriend or are settled down, you'll often go looking for your buddies and classmates and so on,'

How should he answer this question, "Auntie, you're the same, you often go shopping with your same-sex friends, don't you? Because there are some things that you can only talk about with them, right?'

Cai Hong listened, as if it made some sense. Feng Yiping didn't wait for her to think about it, and immediately changed the subject, otherwise the conversation would never end. 'What time are you picking up Hui?'

In the evening, Cai Xin's family, who were also in the provincial capital, did not come. The couple always felt uncomfortable in Feng Yiping's presence. They were tired from eating together, and Feng Yiping was tired too, so it was better this way.

Huihui was not at all shy, and was very active. She could not sit still in her high chair for long, and kept darting around the private room. At one point she wanted her cousin to hold her, and at another she went to eat the prawns that Wang Changning had peeled for her.

Xiao Zhijie formally proposed a toast to his brother-in-law: 'Uncle, I will have to trouble you with the job transfer in the future, so I propose a toast to you. Also, I will pay for all the expenses,'

Mei Yiliang clinked glasses with him, 'I've already said hello. As long as your girlfriend's side is settled, there's no problem here, don't worry! There's also no need to pay any fees. You know our relationship with Binjiang District, at most we'll just treat them to a meal.'

There will definitely be costs. District Chief Sun will say hello, but those who actually handle the work below, who will work for free? However, Feng Yiping had already said that he would pay for all these costs, and Xiao Zhijie should not even mention it, otherwise on what grounds would he ask his parents for money?

Then when it came to paying the bill, Xiao Zhijie insisted on paying for himself, so how could Mei Yiliang agree? While they were arguing, Feng Yiping took out his card and handed it to the waiter. Cai Hong also got involved and gave Feng Yiping a slap on the hand, saying, 'Don't argue, you are both juniors except for us two, so how can you let you treat us?'

But despite what she said, it was clear that they were quite satisfied with Xiao Zhijie's actions.
