Chapter: 6298
Now, Song Wan Ting has become the head of the entire Song family and the helmsman of a trillion-dollar family, so naturally, Jieying Hall's small businesses are no longer a priority, and she spends less time on them.
The main household doesn't pay much attention to this business, and Chen Manager slowly took off his acting general manager hat and became the true general manager.
In the antique world, Jieying Hall is like the big brother, and Chen Manager is the one who runs things around here, so no one in the antique street won't give him some face.
At that moment, Chen Manager had almost forgotten about the person on the phone, so he directly opened his mouth and said, "What's up? Just say it."
The stall owner hurriedly and politely said, "Chen Manager, do you remember Zhou Liangyuan? That was when you were his deputy, and Jieying Hall had Zhou Liangyuan as its manager at the time..."
Chen Manager subconsciously asked, "You mean Zhou Liangyuan?"
The stall owner didn't hesitate to say, "Yes, yes, it's Zhou Liangyuan. I'm calling you because I want to tell you that Zhou Liangyuan has returned!"
Chen Manager pursued, "Zhou Liangyuan has returned? Where did he go?"
The stall owner said, "He went back to the antique street! I was just about to close up shop when I saw him enter the antique street. He then chatted with me for a couple of sentences and told me that he plans to open a store in the antique street."
"What?" Chen Manager's voice suddenly became alert, and he paused for a moment before asking, "Are you certain it's Zhou Liangyuan himself?"
The stall owner patted his chest and said, "As if I'm lying!"
Chen Manager murmured in surprise, "He suddenly returns to Jinling to do what? If he wants to open a store, why come back here?"
The stall owner immediately responded, "Chen Manager, Zhou Liangyuan this time returning, might it be to regain the position of general manager of Jieqing Hall? I said something not supposed to be said... everyone says that Jieqing Hall's business situation hasn't been good lately, and there are still recruitment notices on the job website for a total general manager. Now Zhou Liangyuan has suddenly returned, you must be very careful..."
Chen Manager listened to this and had some concern in his heart.
Originally, Song Family Group's financial team had always advised Song Wan Ting to cut off Jieqing Hall and related antique businesses, because Jinling itself is not the center of national antique exchanges, nor even a hub. Jieqing Hall's business on its own soil was already difficult to grow.
Moreover, Jieqing Hall's income situation was also not optimistic.
After Chen Manager took over, Jieqing Hall's business was not small, but due to the lack of experience in the entire management team, Jieqing Hall had been basically struggling to stay afloat at break-even point for some time.
From the perspective of Song Family Group's financial department, keeping Jieqing Hall's business line did not have any space for profit and might even enter into loss-making status soon. Stopping this business could sell Jieqing Hall, fixed assets, and brand value, which would still bring a certain profit. But if Jieqing Hall starts losing money, its value will continue to decline, and it may eventually become worthless.
So, Jieqing Hall is like a house that has seen a sharp drop in value. As soon as you put your hand on it, you're selling at the peak, because keeping it only makes its value decrease over time.
However, Song Wan Ting had her own ideas about this business.
Jieqing Hall may not make money, or even lose money, but that's fine with her. She just hopes Jieqing Hall can continue to stay afloat because this is where she and Ye Chen first met.
Besides, even if Jieqing Hall loses money, the amount it can afford to lose in Song Wan Ting's eyes is like a single strand of silk, much less expensive than keeping Jieqing Hall.
Before Chen Manager took over, the company's performance was not ideal. He was still worried that Song Wan Ting would take away his position. However, as time passed, he discovered that Song Wan Ting didn't seem to care about Jieqing Hall's profitability. Although profits were dwindling, everything here remained the same, without anyone questioning or interfering with him.
Later, Chen Manager realized a truth: Song Wan Ting might not care whether Jieqing Hall makes money or loses it. She may simply want to keep Jieqing Hall's brand name, no matter whether it makes money or not.
Chen Manager didn't know that Song Wan Ting kept Jieqing Hall because of her feelings for Ye Chen. JrNovels.com
