Chapter 128: Competent as the Chief Operating Officer (2/2)

At this moment, that’s what they believed.

It was as if they were infected by Zhao Qingfeng’s youthful appearance. Seeing his confident and sunny demeanor, they too wanted to fill their lives and careers with sunshine.

The matter was settled.

Zhao Qingfeng gathered all the core personnel, and in front of Wang Yang, Li Jianjun, and the other shareholders, he earnestly explained the core points of the future development strategy to everyone.

The first issue was the selling of brand licenses.

It definitely couldn’t be done directly because widespread reform, if successful initially, would inevitably attract imitation from other manufacturers.

So, the current focus was on acquisitions first.

They planned to sell existing clothing and production lines at cost price, specifically to acquire the brand rights of companies that had fallen into a slump but were still well-known, such as Playboy, Yu Zhao Sen, La Chapelle, Antarctic Velvet, and Philippe, among others.

After acquiring their branding rights, Zhang Dekai would lead a team to recruit large and small teams nationwide, implementing an upgraded version of the authorized production model. The company would build a unified platform and sign long-term cooperation agreements with other large factories and small companies like Liu Li’s.

Simply put, it was about boldly integrating all resources and then dumping Erlunsi and other branded products on a large scale nationwide.

As for the sales difficulties raised by some, they were actually easy to solve.

Take the analogy, everyone finds Nike shoes expensive at thousands of yuan, but what about Nikes for 100 yuan?

Or even less.

If one could buy a pair of Nike running shoes for 50 yuan, it wouldn’t be hard to cause a rush.

And as for the issue of selling brand licenses, the public wouldn’t likely have much reaction.

Not to mention anything else, Nanji Ren have been selling brand licenses since 2005, but even by 2023, many people were unaware of it, which is a case of information asymmetry.

In the course of an afternoon.

Zhao Qingfeng sat in the meeting room and laid out very detailed work requirements for everyone.

If these requirements were to be followed in order, it would take at least half a year to complete.

Of course.

This was also intentional by Zhao Qingfeng, as he wanted to devote more time to his favorite career, as well as to love, family, and friendship.

“Alright, that’s all for now.”

At six o’clock in the afternoon, the meeting ended to rounds of applause.

His brilliant and precise analysis left everyone thoroughly convinced and admiring.

Now, looking at the eyes of the crowd, compared to their previous murky and dim expression, their eyes were now filled with hope and enthusiasm.

Zhao Qingfeng stood up to leave, with Wang Yang and Li Jianjun by his side.

After asking about his recent situation and hearing that he was going to take the university entrance examination, the two old fellows immediately smirked, thinking it unnecessary.

Even though they couldn’t share profits due to the betting agreement temporarily, just the salary of the Chief Operating Officer was over ten thousand a month. Why bother with the university entrance examination?

“The university entrance examination has a very special meaning for me,” Zhao Qingfeng gave an irrefutable explanation.

Not just the university entrance examination, he also wanted to go to university and enjoy his youth with his beloved girl.

This also made Li Jianjun and Wang Yang think of something.

They were both pondering the same question.

Zhao Qingfeng was only eighteen years old, why did he seem so afraid of losing?

But these questions, no one answered them.

Then Li Jianjun suggested having a gathering at Shangri-La tonight, as tomorrow would be a new beginning, and today really should be celebrated properly.

“Sure,” Zhao Qingfeng immediately agreed.

Zhang Dekai followed along, his eyes never leaving Zhao Qingfeng.

The worries of the past had become reality, the little brother from before had now truly become his superior.

But he wasn’t unhappy, instead, he was very pleased.

Through the precise and clear meeting in the afternoon, he fully understood the meaning of “live to learn, learn to live,” and even wished he could be a few years younger. If he could be the same age as Zhao Qingfeng, then he could watch this promising young man to see just how great he could become in the future.

Walking downstairs, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly thought of a question.

He turned his head to look at Li Jianjun, “Chairman, I have a question for you.”
