Chapter 359 – The excitement is here! (1/2)
Using the whip will not work.
There must be rewards to motivate everyone.
Dong Xuebing had said enough harsh words and soften his tone. “This year’s target is a test for our Agency, and we only got one chance. We must go all out to win this war. Director Luo.” Dong Xuebing turns to Luo Haiting. “The County Government had ordered our Finance Department to give us an additional 3 million RMB of funds. Let me know once the money is in.”
“Yes.” Luo Haiting replied immediately.
The Investment Promotion Agency had been short of funds for too long. Everyone brightens up when they heard the County is giving them additional funds.”
Dong Xuebing continued. “Let’s discuss how are we going to use this sum of money.”
“Chief.” Luo Haiting was the first to reply. “Our Agency only has two Jinbei vehicles, an eight-year-old Volkswagen Santana, and a three-year-old Volkswagen Passat, which is also our best car. It’s not that we don’t have enough cars to use, but they are not presentable. When we go out to meet or fetch investors, the investors will look at our cars first. Most investors will lose interest when they see our Jinbei cars, and this will affect our Agency’s image. I suggest we must solve this issue first. We had put up applications to the County about the cars several times but was rejected. Can we use this additional fund to…”
Lin Pingping nodded. “The cars are indeed an issue.” Jiang Hailiang added. “That’s right. Sometimes, when I meet investors, they would rather take a taxi than enter our Jinbei cars. This had affected us a lot.”
Sun Shuli said. “The number of cars is not enough too. We need to queue up to use that Passat when we are meeting some bigger investors. When Business Section One did not return the car in time, Business Section Two has to travel to Business Section One to collect the car. It’s a waste of time.” Sun Shuli had to add on to this issue as it concerns him a lot. As the Deputy Agency Chief, he did not even have a vehicle assigned to him. If the Passat was used by the Business Section teams, he had to take a taxi to meet investors. This is embarrassing. The Agency had received additional funds, and everyone is looking forward to increasing its vehicle fleet.
After listening to everyone’s feedback, Dong Xuebing nodded. “This is really an issue. Alright. Let’s buy more cars.”
Luo Haiting noted it in her notebook and then look at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. The look in everyone’s eyes changed when giving out benefits. “The Office Department can add one more Camry and a Buick MPV. These four cars should cost around one million RMB, and with our Passat and Santana, we should have enough cars for the Agency. Director Luo, you will put up a proposal for these purchases and purchase the vehicles immediately after we receive the fund.”
“Yes, Sir.” Luo Haiting smiled. Regardless of which car Sun Shuli and Lui Dafa chose, she does not need to ride an electric bicycle to work. In the past, the Passat is Meng Xianglin’s personal ride, and he had restricted the use of other vehicles. That’s why Luo Haiting and other leaders can only use their vehicles for work purposes. Now, Dong Xuebing had ‘generously’ purchase cars for all the leaders within the Agency. The Agency no longer has a shortage of cars.
This is a great motivation for everyone.
When everyone is overjoyed, Luo Haiting did not forget about Dong Xuebing. “Chief, you should also be assigned a car.”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “I have my own car.”
Luo Haiting also knows Dong Xuebing owns a car, but the Agency’s car and personal car are different.
Dong Xuebing continued. “To assist everyone and to achieve our 500 million targets, let me know if you all encounter any issues. I will do my best to fulfill your requests. The County Government had also promised to assist and support us.”
After receiving some benefits, the resistance against this ‘impossible mission’ was lowered.
Dong Xuebing looks at them. “Everyone has seen my Mercedes MPV parked in our compound. If there is an important event with the investors, let me know. I can lend you all my car. Just come and collect the keys from me.”
Jiang Hailiang and the rest smiled. Even when they want to drive Dong Xuebing’s Mercedes, they also don’t dare to ask.
