Chapter 211 Chen’s mother’s company
“This is my son, about your age, studying abroad...”
When entering the company, my mother introduced Chen Xi to everyone. This is A company that mainly sells printers and other advertising equipment.
There were many young people in the company, who looked to be a few years older than Chen Xi, and they all looked at him with big curious eyes.
This group of young employees lamented that the births of people are really different. They are all of the same age, but they are working for others, while the boss’s son is living abroad.
Studying abroad is something they have only seen on TV.
Some bold employees have already begun to say hello to Chen Xi, while several beautiful young girls looked at the handsome boy in front of them with their beautiful eyes open, and began to whisper with colleagues beside them.
"How about it? My son is handsome, hahaha!" My mother smiled with her arms crossed, not at all serious like other bosses.
My mother is very generous to her subordinates. She pays a high salary, takes care of the food, and provides accommodation for those who have no place. She acts like a philanthropist. Chen Xi used to think it was good for his mother to do this, but when he grew up, he felt that her behavior was not suitable for starting a company.
After the financial crisis, Chen's father laid off employees. Chen Xi also expressed opposition, feeling that his father was a little unkind, but now it seems that this is indeed in the interests of the company.
"Mom, give me a copy of the equipment model and price list." Chen Xi walked into the office and sat on the boss's chair, turning around and looking around.
"Okay, Mr. Chen." My mother shouted with her voice pinched.
“Ahem, there are still employees outside, can you be more serious?”
“You little brat, you’ve educated your mother, haven’t you?” Mother Chen came over. Grabbed him by the ears.
"Mom. Do you have any new models of equipment under development? They are all from two years ago."
Chen Xi flipped through a stack of paper in his hand and turned to look at his mother.
“What can be developed for a printer? Isn’t it just those functions? It’s either ink or laser. Ink is so expensive now that you can almost buy a new small printer to replace the ink.”
“There are no new printers, large printers like yours The price has started to drop every year, and it has dropped to less than 100,000, and now it is still dropping by several thousand every year.”
“Now the markets in the provinces around Xinlu are saturated, and the business in the north is not promising. It's going well, only the ones in the south are good."
Mother Chen leaned on the sofa with a sad look on her face.
"I'll write a plan in the next few days. Just follow the steps above. In a few days, I'll go to Huajing to ask about my friend's law firm."
"Wait a minute. Going to Huajing? Then I'll go with you."
Mother Chen's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something.
"What are you going to do?"
"Can't I go find your dad? He should be in a company in Huajing now."
"You two are divorced, why are you looking for him! Doing your own business well is better than anything else. This guy is just a white-eyed wolf. He has lost all your money."
"Okay, okay. They are both father and son, acting like enemies." Mother Chen waved her hands, not wanting to listen to Chen Xi's preaching.
As a parent, most of the things your children say you cannot accept.
"Mom, do you have sufficient funds there?"
"What are you doing? If your living expenses are not enough, I will give you more when the time comes."
"It's not about living expenses, it's about opening a chain of graphic stores, which also requires funds. You have to build a brand yourself first. The machines are all your own, and you also have an advertising agency. Anyway, they are all in the same business, so managing it is not a problem for you. ."
"Funds Yes, but I bought stocks recently and they have risen. I think I can make more money by investing in stocks. When stocks make money, I will have more funds!" Mother Chen seemed to think she was very smart! , clapped his hands and opened the stock trading software on the computer.
Chen Xi had a big headache and told her mother not to touch stocks. She had been tricked into stock trading by friends who worked in securities companies, and she lost a lot of money.
“Look, these are all stocks recommended to me by my friends, bank stocks, which are said to be guaranteed profits. There are also mining and communications stocks, which have increased by more than ten yuan since I started buying them. Yeah! ”
Looking at the stocks on the computer screen, I have indeed made money, and a lot of it.
Now it has just arrived in 2007, and the stock market is considered good, but the good times will not last long, and it will not be good in the future.
"It's almost time to sell it, and then use the money to start a business." "Yeah, yeah. Just listen to my dear son."
I can't be persuaded. Mom, he can only say that he needs funds to do business. When the time comes, he will ask her to sell the stocks and save some money.
Immediately, he suggested that his mother buy several stocks that had increased significantly in previous lives.
These stocks are high-quality stocks that can achieve profitability after long-term holding.
Although stock trading is considered a form of investment, there is also an element of gambling involved.
It is indeed difficult to completely quit stock trading, so he suggested that his mother sell other higher-risk stocks in her hands and focus on these stocks with profit potential.
In this way, even if you regard stock trading as a form of entertainment, you can still enjoy the fun and obtain stable income at the same time.
He discovered that women especially like stock trading, and the same goes for Zhao Lingshan's mother. She originally worked in catering and hotels, but she also usually participates in stock and real estate speculation.
But Zhao Lingshan's mother is very shrewd. She makes money from stock and real estate speculation, while only Chen Xi's mother loses money.
He couldn't understand how his mother used to speculate in real estate. Every time he just sold the house, the price would rise sharply soon after, and this happened more than once.
"Mom, please give me your stock account password. I will help you take a look when I have time. If you want to invest money to buy, ask me first."
For insurance For the sake of safety, Chen Xi could only do this. However, my mother did not object, but nodded in agreement.
"Son, those little girls in my company have been secretly staring at you. They pretended to take things at the door several times just now. My dear son is handsome, are you the same in Tuao? It’s so popular with girls.”
"I was just talking to you about business, and you actually focused on these boring things. Hey. Then I'll say hello to those uncles and ask them to help you more."
Chen Xi thought about the several veterans in the company. They were all very capable, because their mother was generous and they were also very loyal.
Later, Father Chen wanted to recruit them to find new jobs, but these people would rather go to other companies and did not agree.
Having said that, these people are also worried that they will not get any benefits if they go to Chen's father's place. After all, Chen's father is not generous to his employees.
"Son, you look like a boss. Haha, I will leave all the business to you in the future, and I will go out to travel with Shanshan's mother, hahaha!" Mom thought about her future life in old age, The branches of flowers trembled with laughter.
I'm the boss.
Chen Xi glanced at his mother and saw that she had started to live a hard life since her last life. He must work hard in this life so that his mother can live a good life in the future.
“How is the situation at the advertising company?”
“Not so good. Nowadays, video advertisements are being launched all over the street. We have also participated, but the effect is very poor.”
My mother said with a grimace, the current advertising company's main business is still the billboards of those buildings, plus some lighting projects, but these jobs must be approved by the relevant departments.
Now it's not like before, where one family was the only one, and the leadership team changes quickly, and they always intend to support new people to take over projects.
Chen Xi nodded. This was similar to the situation in his previous life, and it was within his expectations.
Times are developing. In the past, it was outdoor billboards, now it is video ads and web ads, and then it is ads on APPs.
In short, advertising is everywhere, it just changes the way it is played.
“Mom, are there many picture and text shops in Xinlu now?”
"It's okay. They are everywhere, but they are just small shops. The equipment is old and the types are not complete. Most of them are mainly for copying and printing. The better ones just connect small billboards, and some even make distribution "Key work."
My mother tilted her head and thought about it, then explained the current situation in the industry.
Image and text store, these things are definitely necessary, just forget about the key. It's almost the same as making official seals and business cards.
Well, let’s do it.
Chen Xi nodded, then picked up the other documents handed over by his mother and read them. These were all information about the advertising industry.
