Transformation

  90-degree turn

  Private enterprises without a strong starting background always start from the boss working hard by himself, to hiring people to carry out his business ideas, and finally, those who make it big will definitely be good at manipulating capital.

  Chen Haotian did not have the intention to join a large law firm at first, mainly because he didn't think he had what it took to become a top lawyer, and was content with working in a small or medium-sized firm.

  It is still so now.

  "It would be great if you had the qualifications for listing guidance."

  "Each profession has its own specialization, everyone has their own focus of attention, we have our own focus."

  Chen Haotian smiled reservedly and chatted with his counterpart's boss.

  Both parties are just talking nonsense: the possibility of the other party going public will not exceed 50%, while the possibility of our side obtaining listing qualifications is almost zero.

  But basically there's no hope for such a powerful entrepreneur to go around issuing blank checks, she has seen too many of them in her two lifetimes.

  "Is Lawyer Chen very young? Does she have a boyfriend?" The boss's wife smiled and started chatting.

  "There is someone I'm dating, but whether we'll get married or not isn't certain yet. That still depends on fate and can't be forced." Chen Huasheng's eyes didn't even flicker as she spoke, after a long period of psychological suggestion and mental construction, even when speaking nonsense her eyes wouldn't dart around randomly. It's said that the FBI discovered during lie detection tests that people often involuntarily glance to the left when lying, and to the right when recalling memories, although this isn't always applicable. According to Chen Huasheng's experience, it was accurate about half the time. That's why she trained herself not to glance anywhere."

  The boss's wife originally wanted to chat with her as usual, talking about love, marriage and family as an elder. But thinking again, this young female lawyer must have handled many divorce cases. She might have a "different" view, so she pulled the conversation to real estate and stock market. Especially now that the international market is not doing well, but for domestic companies it's not all bad news, so the impact varies in different fields.

  When it comes to economic trends and future prospects, Chen Huasheng is a strong suit. At least, except for top-notch figures, few people can surpass her.

  Very soon, the boss found that this assistant girl's vision level far exceeded his expectation. Moreover, she was a lawyer and also ran a company and an online store. He immediately became spirited, took over the leading role from his wife, and had a thorough discussion with Chen Huasheng about entrepreneurship, economics, and business.

  "Of course, it's best to buy now, and even if the price drops further, it won't drop that much. I only didn't do so myself because I invested all my cash in the company, and then bought a property under the company's name; otherwise, I would have definitely taken action."

  "Why in the name of the company?!" Isn't it a small and playful company? "Isn't it very inconvenient?"

  "In that case, I won't have to pay income tax for these years either, and it will be much more convenient to apply for loans. In the past few years, I could even get a certificate of honor from the tax authorities."

  "After all, you're a lawyer."

  "Hmm. As a result, the tax officer even introduced me to a small case." No money was made, but it's still a pretty good thing.

  "What?! I've never heard of it!"

  "He should think I'm honest and won't make any small moves, and he's sure that I won't embezzle his family members' money without doing anything."

  "Haha, you still got taken advantage of."

  "It doesn't matter if we don't make a profit or suffer a loss. It's also good to just make some friends."

  “……”

  “……”

  The audit on that side is done, and the small talk here has also come to an end.

  Chen Huaizhen bid farewell with a positive attitude and left.

  Back. Director Feng Lei asked her opinion.

  "If they can get listed at all, it will be on the third board at most. And that's definitely a few years from now. It won't become a real 'listed company'."

  "Alright, if there's anything else about the company, just let me know later." Fang Lei trusted Chen Huan's judgment and was also glad that she had handed over this task to her from the start, saving time, effort and trouble.

  "Alright." Chen Huijing was very clear about the implicit meaning of her boss's sentence: I'm quite busy, so you go take care of it if it's not a big deal. Then, she returned to her seat, took out a wooden lid incense bottle, and placed it in the corner of her boss's office. "...Fresh air and antibacterial, two effects, although can't compare with medical equipment, but smells good."

  Feng Li took a deep breath and made a conclusion: "It smells great! Are these all essential oils?"

  "So, no matter how long I hear it, I won't get dizzy."

  Chen Huaizheng left the boss alone, facing the bottle and continuing to sniff slightly. At first, when this formula came out, she put it under her eyelids for five minutes before letting go, and afterwards there was no adverse reaction, her mind felt exceptionally clear, and her nasal passages were unobstructed.

  A few minutes later, Chen saw his boss chasing after him, "Little Chen, I want it back, put it back in the club, put it back in the club!"

  "Okay. I also made essential oil floating candles, but they must be in a well-ventilated area."

  "Uh! All of them! All of them! Don't forget to ask for a discount!"

  "I know!"

  That high-concentration perfume - a single essential oil plus 95% alcohol, strictly speaking is actually just perfume, only the concentration is too high, not suitable for direct contact with skin - and also high proportion incense candles, all made by Chen Huacheng himself. So now Pang Hua's body clothes are always subtly carrying this scent, not pungent, not obvious. Ancient clothing incense, it's probably similar to this, only the temperature and distance are different, resulting in varying degrees of fragrance on the clothes.

  ***

  In the afternoon, when leaving the office, Chen Haoteng drove to the workshop. Picking up goods, sampling, handing over bank drafts, transporting goods back to the studio - then conducting detailed inspections, finally sealing and categorizing them properly.

  She has added two testing equipment, and each batch must be tested.

  Although the production cost and detection cost have increased, she can focus on making high-end or innovative products, and then use workshops to mass-produce and advertise them for a long time. The company's monthly revenue is now equivalent to last year's quarterly revenue, with a significant decrease in profit margin, but the total net profit has increased by more than half.

  Panghua's handicrafts have decreased, recently busy with his thesis, but he is also very familiar with the company's financial statements. However, the high-end handmade cold process soap in the store is still made by him and Chen Huaiyang themselves.

  "This batch is for the club's gift."

  "They can't even change it?" Pang Hua also knew that this thing was what Chen Huai Sheng, the boss, attached great importance to. They had to make it all by themselves, without any discount or compromise, so that everyone in the club would feel that it was worth the money - of course they also "appropriately" raised the price a bit, at least making them more willing to do it than before.

  "It's hard to find something that suits everyone, and the value of a simple hand cream is not enough. So, you see that this year, the club only wants this soap, and they designed the packaging themselves, which shows that they put thought into it."

  "Nowadays, hand creams are also outsourced to workshops for processing - all materials are provided by Chen Huacheng, so basically, quality can be controlled, and her workload is greatly reduced. The workshop charges a production fee, although not much, but enough to make them survive. In the end, both parties benefit, which is called a win-win situation."

  "Chen Huacheng and Pang Hua are quite generous with the production fee based on their alumni relationship, so currently, there's no issue of cutting corners or reducing quality at the workshop. In fact, they do an even better job than Chen Huacheng."

  "But, ironically, customers will increasingly underestimate the value of outsourced hand creams because they're machine-assisted and not purely handmade."

  "Moreover, when I meet customers from that side, I can confidently say that these are all made by my own hands, taking five months to complete. The appearance may not be beautiful, but the content is top-notch."

  The material of this soap has been "upgraded" again, replacing the ordinary materials with good brands, and even the mold is re-customized - she and the villa have tacitly raised the purchase price this year.

  "How's business at the club this year? Has it been affected?"

  "Hehe, the beauty industry has an anti-economic cycle. The worse the economy is, the more people focus on their appearance and are willing to spend money. Moreover, there are more and more male customers. You know, the better-looking you are, the easier it is to find a job or keep your job."

  "It's quite interesting..." Pang Hua muttered to himself as he continued working.

  When arms and legs can't take it anymore, today's handicraft was finished half an hour ahead of schedule. The quality of the finished product is naturally good.

  After drinking water and going to the toilet, put it back in the storage compartment. The studio's storage conditions are limited, and only machines can solve ventilation and temperature and humidity problems, which leads to high electricity bills.

  "Are we going to make another batch tomorrow?" Pang Hua asked, looking at the prepared ingredients.

  "Yes, but less than today's. These will be used as promotional products later on, just to make up for the year-end performance."

  "Good." Unfortunately, they were unable to afford a lot of storage space and equipment, or else he would have liked to do more, as a travel fund...

  "Is there anywhere you want to go during the summer vacation?" Chen Huan asked first.

  "Help you with 'handicraft', then check the weather and go wherever it's cooler."

  "Okay." Chen Xuan also couldn't think of anywhere he wanted to go for the time being, and besides, cruises were expensive and scarce these days, so he might as well put it off for now.

  "What's for lunch?" Pang Hua thought that with air-conditioned sunshine in the afternoon, a few home-cooked dishes every day, a few hours of relaxed work, and going out to places with cool breezes at night, this kind of life was more comfortable than traveling to famous tourist destinations. Of course, it also saved a lot of money and avoided various inconveniences when eating, living, and traveling abroad.

  "The day before yesterday I bought some frozen salmon, steamed and ate it. Boiled chestnuts with chicken cubes."

  "Good!" Chen Huan would always support whatever he did, although sometimes the taste might be a bit strange or too light, but the ingredients and matching were always good and healthy. Moreover, chestnut chicken was one of their favorite dishes that they both loved to eat.

  "You go back and cook rice, then boil the peas until they're done. I'll prepare dishes at my place, forty minutes later you bring over the rice and peas."

  "Good."

  The two of them don't often have the opportunity to work together in the studio, and even less so when it comes to cooking by themselves. So Chen Huisheng intentionally "trained" him, using a division of labor approach to cook, and finally presenting on Chen Huisheng's bar-style dining table were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup.

  They can also be considered as another kind of "partner" in a way...
