23 Three Years Were Enough (1/2)
”Director Zhang's intention is to go to Haicheng City?
”Yes.”
”I feel that this matter should be handled by your subordinates. At the very least, you shouldn't personally lead the first visit. The other party might assume that we regard the particular piece of land with importance and increase the price on purpose.”
Everybody nodded and concurred with the statement.
”Yes, I agree, I think Director Wang's reasons make sense.”
There was a long pause...
Their opinions were divided and their debate brought Yan Rusheng's thoughts back. He said abruptly, ”I think if Director Zhang makes a personal trip, it will not fully prove our sincerity towards purchasing the piece of land. I will need to make the trip there myself.”
Gah!
Everyone present was taken aback when they heard this and they all turned to stare at Yan Rusheng.
The head of the business development department who mentioned the inspection trip smiled and looked at Yan Rusheng. He said, ”President, the purpose of this upcoming trip is only for an inspection, it is not yet certain whether we want that piece of land.”
Yan Rusheng replied, ”If that's the case, then all the more reason for me to go. I will inspect the land to review if there is any value for us to develop that land. If there isn't, we'll be making a loss if we purchase it.”
Everyone felt that a piece of land in the countryside that was worth a mere tens of millions of yuan wasn't important enough for the distinguished President of Flourish & Prosper to be present at the initial inspection.
But as the company's President, he only wanted the best for the company. He wanted to be involved in all business matters regardless of the scale, they should be grateful for this.
”President Yan's reasons make sense too.”
Those who had previously felt that the piece of land wasn't important enough for the director of the department to make the trip personally had now switched sides. All nodded in unison and agreed with what Yan Rusheng had said.
Wen Xuxu sat quietly in a corner and didn't express her opinion.
In her heart, Yan Rusheng's ways were unpredictable and he didn't play by the rules. Hence, wanting to make the arduous journey of traveling to inspect a piece of land that was worth tens of millions of yuan wasn't anything shocking.
”President Yan, when would you like to set off?” asked the head of the business development department.
”The first day of the month, so today,” Yan Rusheng replied without hesitation. ”We shall set off today.”
