Yan Jing had also started her business transformation. It was mainly due to the bottleneck she encountered in the real estate business. It wasn"t optimistic for her to expand it as swiftly when compared to a decade ago; hence, she had been putting her focus on the Three Flavour International"s development. After some transference in shares, Yan Jing had now invested a total of ¥500,000,000, becoming the second-biggest shareholder.
This had also displayed Yan Jing"s charm. Although the real estate business still had some room for profits, it"s a political industry, and it was basically sucking money out of their own fellow countrymen. This was also because she was influenced by Su Tao, which Yan Jing discovered that she was now a nationalist.
The situation of the distribution of the shares in the Three Flavour International was extremely complicated, since several investors within the country were attracted by it. Their market price was at ¥8,000,000,000 now, and that also meant that just Su Tao"s a.s.sets in the Three Flavour International alone have reached nearly ¥3,000,000,000. Furthermore, this didn"t include the developing Three Flavour Hall. Right now, he"s a genuine young billionaire.
This was also mainly because of the commotion caused by the Three Flavour International"s skincare products overseas. In just half a year, the Three Flavour International acc.u.mulated a batch of loyal customers. Not only were they consumers, but they"re also actively promoting the products.
The meeting room was s.p.a.cious with products displayed in the corner, along with advertis.e.m.e.nt boards. Aside from the South Korean celebrity, Hw.a.n.g Ji-yeon, there"s also Gu Rushan, who recently signed up.
Strolling through the display section, Su Tao realised that it had been some time since he contacted Gu Rushan. Thinking about it, he found that he was somewhat missing that lady from Beijing and wondered how she was doing right now.
Walking over to the right side of the long desk, all the executives stood up and clapped for his arrival.
Looking at this scene, Su Tao felt a little overwhelmed. However, he knew that he had to maintain his calm right now and wore a smile, sweeping his glance over everyone. Due to the speciality in the industry, they had a higher ratio of female employees than male employees. Out of all the executives here, there were some that he had met in the past, but there were also some unfamiliar faces. But all of them shared a common trait; they were fas.h.i.+onably dressed with makeup on. He had to be honest that to be able to work under this sort of environment, it could be considered as an enjoyment for any man.
"Today, our chairman, Mr. Su, took some time out to inspect the operation of the Three Flavour International. Now, please make a report on your current projects and development." Yan Jing pushed her spectacles and released a powerful aura, which everyone wore a grave expression. It went without saying that they were respectful of Yan Jing.
Under Yan Jing"s request, all the executives started giving reports on their departments. Su Tao noticed that although these people were used to big occasions, they still seemed somewhat nervous when facing him since their speeches were slightly paced faster. Then again, it was also understandable. The moment you"re in a high position, you would have a different view from everyone else, and at the same time, you would also naturally develop an aura around you.
When all the executives finished giving their reports on their departments, Yan Jing gave a signal to Su Tao, hinting for him to speak.
A smile rose on Su Tao"s lips since he knew that he had to say something under this setting. Hence, he cleared his throat and said, "After hearing everyone"s reports, my first reaction is that each and every single one of you is outstanding. While I"m feeling happy about it, I also feel ashamed at the same time. I"m happy because I will be able to improve myself by working with so many outstanding talents here. However, I"m ashamed because I haven"t been meeting everyone often. Truth be told, I"m not qualified for management; I"m just a physician. I don"t know how to manage and operate a business, and this is the reason why I"m grateful for this lady sitting beside me, Ms. Yan Jing. It was her efforts that brought the Three Flavour International to its current height."
Su Tao"s words instantly welcomed a round of applause.
Waiting for the applause to end, Su Tao continued, "Although the Three Flavour International might seem to be doing pretty well with our products acknowledged by the market, along with a group of outstanding employees, I still think that there is more room for improvement. Since the beginning, Ms. Yan, Ms. Vera, and I have reached an agreement that we will develop our brand into a luxury brand in the country. We will tell our fellow countrymen that products like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Gucci might not necessarily be more outstanding than local products. Hence, the company will be branching out into other fields. Without a doubt, skincare will still be the core of our business, but we will also make fas.h.i.+on and bags into our line of business as well. Our skincare products are still young, and they require acc.u.mulation. At the same time, everyone here is also young, and I hope that we can continue to acc.u.mulate and grow with our brand together!"
What Su Tao said came from the bottom of his heart, but his words made everyone present feel their hearts boiling with pa.s.sion. When Yan Jing took the lead to clap, everyone started to follow along.
While leaving the meeting room, a woman suddenly came over. Su Tao couldn"t remember her name, but he had an impression that she"s an executive director of the administrative department.
"Mr. Su, can I have an autograph?" The woman asked in a begging tone.
"My signature isn"t as effective as Ms. Yan"s signature in the Three Flavour International." Su Tao humorously smiled.
With a bashful smile on her face, the woman replied, "I"m a loyal fan of yours. Please be rea.s.sured since I will not misuse your signature; I just want to keep it."
Turning to look at Yan Jing, she helplessly shrugged her shoulders. Evidently, this was not planned by her. Yan Jing was familiar with this executive director, and she had always been an introverted person. Even she never expected that this executive director would show such a side to her.
Taking out his pen, Su Tao signed his name for the executive director, which the latter was pleased. At this moment, she was like a young girl chasing after her celebrity and swiftly left. As for the directors of the other departments, many of them showed envy in their eyes, while some of them showed disdain.
However, Yan Jing understood this situation. After all, the executive director served as the enterprise"s cultural grooming; they"re responsible for brainwas.h.i.+ng the employees. So to throw herself in it, that executive director researched too much about Su Tao to the point that even she was influenced.
After returning to Yan Jing"s office, a skinny man wearing black-framed spectacles entered. He looked to be in his thirties with deep eye sockets and a pale complexion. When Su Tao took a glance at this person, he knew that this fellow must have been burning too much midnight oil to the point that his kidney and liver weren"t functioning well.
"This is the director of our technology department, Fu Honggang!" Yan Jing introduced and further explained, "He has been developing the mobile application for our Three Flavour International, and it has already taken shape. We can invest in advertis.e.m.e.nts anytime!"
Nodding his head, Su Tao met Fu Honggang earlier in the meeting room, but he only understood the overview of it. Since he was pretty concerned about the mobile application, he smiled. "Let me have an experience in it!"
Taking out his phone, Fu Hongguang tapped onto an icon and started his presentation, "Our application is orientated to create the largest TCM service network by allowing physicians and doctors to have a face-to-face interaction. Hence, our biggest core technology is to provide a video call function. As long as the patient makes a booking with a TCM specialist, they will be able to conduct a medical consultation through the mobile application. Furthermore, we even established a forum so that everyone can discuss and seek advice about illnesses…"
Although Fu Honggang appeared to be an introverted person, he was extremely detailed with his introduction, allowing Su Tao to understand the fundamentals of how it worked.
Looking at the mobile application, Su Tao was pretty satisfied since the application was practically designed according to his thoughts. After Fu Honggang finished his explanation, Su Tao briefly pondered before he said, "I have a few suggestions. Firstly, we will need to guarantee absolute privacy about the patient"s information. So aside from the physician who"s attending the patient, no one else can know about it. Secondly, we need to increase the reward system so that we can attract more physicians to join our mobile application. Thirdly, we need to add an appropriate rating system, cla.s.sifying the service of the physicians by grades. This way, we can maintain the self-discipline of physicians and maintain a healthy community. Lastly, we have to ensure the quality of our physicians. We can be open-minded for patients, but we must be strict in filtering physicians. Not only must they have corresponding certificates, they also have to go through a practical test. If there"s any poor evaluation, they are to be removed immediately…"
Listening to Su Tao"s words, Fu Honggang nodded his head. The suggestions that Su Tao gave didn"t lie with the technology, but suggestions standing from the standpoint of TCM practice. Since those suggestions could be used as a reference, Fu Honggang immediately noted them down.
After that, Su Tao gave a few more suggestions on the details, such as the mobile application style needing to have a TCM culture in it by using Chinese style during the design, which Fu Honggang noted them down.
In the end, Su Tao wrote something down on some paper and handed it over to Fu Honggang. "Your body isn"t too good, and you must have been burning midnight oil often while having insomnia. Follow this prescription and take it for a week. It will bring an evident improvement to your condition."
He wasn"t breaking the rules about physicians knocking on their patient"s door since Fu Honggang knew about his medical skills, so Fu Honggang wouldn"t be on alert nor would he react badly.
Hearing about that, Fu Honggang"s gaze flickered with excitement. He often had insomnia, and he had also visited a doctor about it. However, the doctor prescribed him with Six Earthen Pellets, but they weren"t effective. Holding onto the prescription, Fu Honggang replied, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"
With only Yan Jing and Su Tao left in the office, Yan Jing smiled. " I never expected that you"re pretty good at winning hearts!"
"I"m a benevolent physician. I can"t possibly turn a blind eye when I can help, right? Otherwise, wouldn"t the Three Flavour International"s reputation turn bad?" Su Tao helplessly replied.
Rolling her eyes at Su Tao, Yan Jing replied, "I"m just joking around with you. That mouth of yours is too ruthless."
After that, her phone vibrated, so she glanced at it before she bitterly smiled. "I won"t keep you any longer. Meimei is done with her preparations, so you can head over to take a look."
Overall, Su Tao was satisfied with this trip to the Three Flavour International. However, the outlines were still somewhat complicated with the Qihuang Charity Funds, which he had to do something about.
The Qihuang Charity Funds was preparing to hold a ma.s.sive charity auction and donating all the money received to those in need. Qin Meimei was pretty capable, and she managed to invite several famous enterprises. However, the Qihuang Charity Funds encountered an obstruction during the advertis.e.m.e.nt. They initially wanted to invite the top charity tyc.o.o.n in the country to create a hype for this auction, but that tyc.o.o.n rejected her.
