Hollow wind

宋铮

In terms of seniority, Jiang Xiu was called Song Zheng's uncle.

For Jiang Xiu, the end of the year is like a physical competition.

Every day is full of meetings and documents, and there is no gap to catch your breath. Even weekends are like rushing to make announcements, full of schedules for participating in the annual meetings of various subsidiaries.

According to Jiang Xiu's doctor in charge, every year he was worried about whether Jiang Xiu would be able to get through December with his whole body intact.

If you don't have a serious illness after finishing the budget and final accounts and year-end matters, everyone will be happy.

In fact, no one needs to be reminded, Jiang Xiu also dislikes the end of the year.

I don't know if he is getting busier, or his health is getting worse, and the affairs are attacking him round after round. I forget when it started, but he doesn't have enough time to rest and recuperate year after year. The new business was rushed to start.

Jiang Xiu began to feel like a rickety car that was about to fall apart. Things were constantly being added to it. He didn't know how much weight was added, and he would not be able to walk at all.

Or maybe he won't be able to walk, and he'll be driving slowly until the day the frame of the car falls apart.

The first day of the budget meeting was just a warm-up. All the discussions were about the budgets of some uncontroversial subsidiaries in the group and subsidiaries in the incubation period. The biggest difficulty was that there were many and complicated affairs.Different industries have different characteristics, and companies in different development cycles also have their own demands. Jiang Xiu's mind is rapidly switching between several companies in different industries.

The bowl of hangover soup yesterday had little effect, and Jiang Xiu's forehead was throbbing and painful all day long.But he has always been able to bear it, so he has to scrutinize the rationality of the data in the first draft of each budget, and the questions he asks one after another are sharp and targeted. No one can find that Mr. Jiang is not in a good state today.

The heads of each unit were so choked that they couldn't speak, and in the end they had no choice but to cut off unnecessary expenditures, and reluctantly adjusted the target revenue and profit targets according to Jiang Xiu's opinion.

A one-day meeting was a battle of wits.

On the one hand, the budget of the subsidiary company was cut and tasks were added, so they will not be happy after all. On the other hand, the group is unhappy because of the bargaining made by the subsidiary company. This kind of meeting is difficult to have a harmonious atmosphere.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Xiu succinctly encouraged the subsidiaries and finally announced the end of the meeting.

The heads of the participating units left the meeting one after another, leaving only the two group leaders Jiang Xiu and Song Zheng and the head of the group's finance department in the conference room.Jiang Xiu and Song Zheng are in charge of different modules, and some undetermined matters involving the modules in charge of Song Zheng, Jiang Xiu still decided to strike while the iron is hot to finalize it with him face to face.

Time passed silently, and another hour passed after all pending matters were finalized.

Jiang Xiu rubbed his throbbing forehead, and pushed the stack of papers at hand to the person in charge of the finance department: "Let's make it like this first, and when the figures for clothing, hotels and real estate are also finalized tomorrow, we will sort out a summary of the figures as soon as possible. "

After everything was arranged properly, Jiang Xiu only felt top-heavy and was too tired to walk back to the office.He sat stiffly, and when he heard the door of the conference room being pushed open and closed, he finally relaxed the tight string, let his straight back relax slightly, and lay down on the table to take a nap with his eyes closed.

I thought that there was no one else in the meeting room, but suddenly there was the sound of a cup being placed on the table next to my ear.Jiang Xiu frowned and looked up, only to see Song Zheng smiling at him, and pushed the porcelain cup closer to his hand: "I poured hot water for you, drink a little, and relieve fatigue."

The weasel wishes the chicken a new year.

Seeing the warm smile on Song Zheng's face that resembled Song Qijun six to seven points, such a sentence immediately flashed in Jiang Xiu's mind.

Song Zheng is the only flesh and blood left by Song Qijun's deceased brother Song Qisheng.It is said that when Song Qisheng was young, he fell in love with a woman he met on a trip, and eloped with her despite the opposition of his family.

Whether Song Qisheng is doing well after elopement, no one knows.

More than 20 years ago, Song Qijun picked up Song Qijun from the train station, only Song Zheng, who kept silent about the past, and a dissected ashes.

After counting, when Song Zheng was admitted back to the Song family, it was about the time when Jiang Xiu's mother, Song Jin, and his father, Song Qijun, had a quarrel with Jiang Zhiheng in order to be with Jiang Zhiheng.As if he wanted to find a place to make up for the family affection lost from his daughter, Song Qijun got angry and stopped caring about Song Jin, and seriously raised Song Zheng as his own child.

Older people tend to fall into doting carelessly when raising children.

Even Song Qijun, who had already made some achievements in his career at that time, was no exception. Sure enough, he spoiled Song Zheng so much that he didn't work hard.After Song Zheng graduated, he joined Songwen Group directly. At the beginning, he took a idle job to support him. Later, Jiang Xiu also joined the company. He suddenly became excited like a cockfighting cock, and unexpectedly developed a little sense of professionalism.

Jiang Xiu felt that it would be better if Song Zheng didn't have this bit of professionalism that disregarded the overall situation and went against him everywhere.

However, Song Qijun didn't think so.

He thinks it's good that Song Zheng wants to do something now.Young people always have to fall and stand up again and again. Song Zheng is luckier than other young people. His uncle has some family background, which can give him a little confidence not to be afraid of failure.

Although he was not a few years older than Jiang Xiu, in terms of seniority, Song Zheng took advantage of it, so Jiang Xiu had to call him uncle.

This uncle, who cared about the younger generation, was standing beside Jiang Xiu, and put the white porcelain teacup on the table into Jiang Xiu's hand, beckoning him to drink some water.Jiang Xiu's throat was indeed dry and sore, he took two sips of hot water obediently, but didn't take the initiative to speak, just stared at Song Zheng with the glass of water in his hand.

Song Zheng always had a smile on his face: "Tomorrow, the old man will attend the meeting in person, so you should be able to relax a bit."

When it comes to tomorrow's meeting, Jiang Xiu feels even more irritable.He put down the water glass, couldn't help turning his head to cough for a while, a little impatient: "Mr. Xiao Song stayed here on purpose to remind me of this?"

"Actually, there are other things." Song Zheng pulled out the chair and sat down beside Jiang Xiu, "I remember you promised Mr. Song that the overall profit of the clothing sector would be realized within three years. Time flies, and this year seems to be the first It's been three years, I don't know if Mr. Jiang has led the clothing sector to turn losses into profits this year?"

Jiang Xiu sneered in his heart.It turned out to be waiting here.

Songwen Group was founded by Song Qijun. It first started with clothing production and trade. Later, Jiang Xiu’s mother Song Jin took over the garment factory, and Jiang Xiu’s father Jiang Zhiheng had a unique vision. Under his advice, Songwen Group began to gradually The layout of hotel tourism, real estate, energy and other industrial modules, this is the diversified group business map that is blooming everywhere today.

In recent years, prices have soared, and the costs of raw materials and labor have all risen. At the same time, young consumers pursue individuality and have more choices. The clothing industry is becoming more and more difficult.

Therefore, in recent years, although the clothing sector is the veteran of the group, its profitability is far behind the real estate, equity investment and other modules that are in the limelight, and a breakthrough is urgently needed.

But Centipede is dead but not dead. Several companies under the clothing sector hold the franchise rights of many overseas trademarks in mainland China. Many companies specializing in clothing are salivating for the exclusive authorization of some high-quality trademarks.

Three years ago, under the bewitchment of someone, Song Qijun seriously thought about selling the clothing sector as a whole, but was stopped by Jiang Xiu.

The reason Jiang Xiu used to convince Song Qijun was simple but effective.

He only asked Song Qijun, if these companies are really worthless, why are others willing to pay a premium to buy their shares?If other people think that those who bought our brand can manage well after evaluation, why can’t we manage ourselves well?

It was also at that time that Jiang Xiu took the initiative to invite Song Qijun to take over the half-dead clothing company that had been in Song Zheng's hands before, and issued a military order to turn losses into profits within three years.

In the past three years, he has indeed allocated a lot of energy to the management of these companies, introduced more efficient production lines, promoted the establishment of a standard operating system, and spent a lot of effort to reduce costs and improve efficiency. At the same time, he also actively innovated, starting from the product itself. In terms of the design, materials, and frequency of new releases, as well as the development and laying of sales channels, Jiang Xiu personally watched every aspect and spent a lot of effort.

At the same time, he sorted out the franchising rights of the several trademarks in his hand one by one, and found that there are many foreign high-end brands that have declined in recent decades, and these years have been shelved in vain.With these brands, Jiang Xiu requested to immediately create a set of production and management strategies for high-end brands, which effectively made up for the lack of high market share and low gross profit of the previously promoted mass brands.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the clothing module has reversed its decline in the past three years. Not only has the overall revenue increased rapidly, but the quality of operation has also improved significantly. Although it has not achieved profitability, its losses have been shrinking year by year.

Of course, Jiang Xiu could hear the sarcasm in Song Zheng's words, and he replied blankly: "It's not yet December, how can we know the profit and loss of the whole year? Since Mr. When the annual report comes out, I'll ask them to send you a copy?"

"That's not necessary." Song Zheng still smiled, "I'm afraid that the data for January will not be used tomorrow. I just remind you that if the data is too ugly, it may be difficult to ask the old man for next year's budget tomorrow." It’s hard to talk about. After all, you said this afternoon that it’s not okay for revenue growth to fail to keep up with expenditures for several years in a row. The group is not a charity, and the money invested must be rewarded.”

The meeting room was not ventilated, and Jiang Xiu felt stuffy after staying there all day.

Enduring the discomfort, he corrected Song Zheng while coughing: "It's different, the e-commerce company in the afternoon, the income structure, and the expenditure structure are not reasonable."

Song Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, what you said is correct."

Jiang Xiu didn't open his mouth to refute, he only felt that the shortness of breath intensified, his heart throbbed a few times, and a breath of foul breath came up, he couldn't help covering his lips and coughing, and the coughing couldn't stop.

Seeing this, Song Zheng probably realized that his conscience finally stopped being angry with him. He touched the cup on the table and picked it up: "You have been tired for a day, so go back and rest early if you have nothing to do. I will ask Xu Zhang to heat it up a little more. Water will be brought in for you."

Jiang Xiu couldn't stop coughing, so he just nodded, unable to answer him.

After only a few minutes, Xu Zhang brought in the water again.As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Xiu lying on the table, holding a tissue in his hand and pressing it to his lips, still coughing intermittently.

"Boss Jiang, drink some water and press it." Xu Zhang pushed the water glass over.

Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, his breath became disordered again, and then he coughed again.

The tissue in his hand trembled slightly with his cough, and Xu Zhang saw blood on the tissue in Jiang Xiu's palm at this moment.

As he coughed, the blood continued to expand little by little, almost covering the entire paper towel, and it couldn't be hidden anymore.

Xu Zhang felt chills in his heart: "Boss Jiang."

Jiang Xiu's voice was hoarse: "Contact, Xu, Dr. Xu..."
