Chapter 240: Chapter 243 Reform_1

Yang Gang hesitated slightly before saying something, but Li Kun had already spoken. He calmly said: "What’s the stock level? What is the budget?"

"The unsold sanitary pads in the stock are worth about 10 million, and your budget is 500,000. How about that?" a director said.

Li Kun nodded: "Alright, got it."

Yang Gang looked at Li Kun, opened his mouth, but ended up saying nothing.

After a brief hesitation, he finally said, "Are there any other proposals the directors wish to discuss?"

"Mr. Yang, our group is currently in a difficult situation with the risk of breaking the capital chain at any time. The group owes 5 billion in taxes that need to be paid. Financing is also extremely difficult, so I suggest the group sells some non-performing assets to raise funds. This is the cleanup list I have compiled." A director handed Yang Gang a list.

Yang Gang glanced at the list. The first non-performing asset on the list of proposed sales was the Dream Elf Brokerage Company, followed by Hengyang Real Estate owned by the Yang family. The rest were poorly operated KTVs, bars, and the likes.

He hesitated slightly, then said calmly: "Dream Elf isn’t for sale for now, it is an important attempt of the Yang Group in the pan-entertainment industry, we can’t give it up easily. Although real estate is not the core business of the Yang Group, the golden age of the real estate industry is far from over, there is still potential for profit. Let’s decide whether to sell Hengyang Real Estate after we have determined a CEO. The rest of the assets can be sold if the price is right."

Yang Gang paused, scanned the directors, and then said: "Does anyone else have something to say?"

At this moment, a director stood up and said, "Mr. Yang, a few years ago, our Yang Group ventured into the tourism industry and built the New World Resort, but it was heavily loss-making."

"New World Resort..." Yang Gang nodded: "I know about this project, my father personally managed it, was the performance that bad?"

"Indeed, the accumulated loss over three years exceeds 300 million."

Yang Gang was shocked.

Damn, a resort project loses 100 million a year, this is not a joke, it’s a huge loss.

This is unexpected. The performance of Dream Elf was poor because Mr. Yang never paid any attention to it. But this New World Resort project was personally managed by Mr. Yang, it’s surprising that the loss was so significant.

"What happened?" Yang Gang asked gravely.

The director hesitated for a moment.

"What do you have in mind? Don’t just stand there and say nothing." Yang Gang said indifferently.

The director gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said: "The New World Resort has been poorly patronized since it opened three years ago, far fewer than the estimated number of visitors. The main reason for the lack of visitors is the road to the east of the resort has not been opened. I sent someone to negotiate with the residents of that area, most of them agreed to the relocation and compensation plan, only a guy surnamed Qu disagreed with the demolition plan. I think if necessary, we can forcibly demolish his property. We have already taken care of the government relations, as long as Mr. Yang signs the document, we can proceed with the demolition."

"What’s the difficulty in a forced demolition? I always advocate that we must never compromise with those stubborn residents who overprice their properties." Yang Gang said coldly.

The director looked troubled: "But Miss Yang Fei strongly disagreed, and Chairman Yang could only go with her decision."

"Yang Fei disagreed?" Yang Gang frowned: "What’s the real story?"

The director hesitated for a little bit, then said: "The Qu family, the only son of the old couple, Qu Sheng, tragically drowned last year, leaving behind a young wife and a small child. The family once begged Miss Yang Fei on their knees not to demolish their house, because the house was bought with all Qu Sheng’s hard-earned money, and this is the only place where Qu Sheng can be remembered. Miss Yang Fei, being kind-hearted, agreed with tears in her eyes. Chairman Yang has always adored Miss Yang Fei, so that matter was indefinitely shelved."

Yang Gang had a twitch in the corner of his mouth, knowing Yang Fei’s kind nature, she could really do this kind of thing that harms herself to help others.

"Leave this matter to me." Yang Gang said calmly, and after a brief hesitation, he continued, "Does anyone else have anything else to say?"

The conference room was silent.

Yang Gang suddenly said, "I have a proposal."

"What is the proposal?" a director asked.

Yang Gang calmly said: "I found that all our security guards wear the same uniforms, while those white-collar workers dress in all kinds of clothes. Is this what we call a free corporate culture? But what I see at Tong’s group’s headquarters is a different scene, all office employees wear the same professional suit. It’s said that this could enhance employee’s identification with the company and increase cohesion. I tend to agree with this view, what do you all think?"

"Well, indeed." a director said.

Yang Gang chuckled: "Leave the uniform work to me, after all, I have a lot of free time as the acting chairman. Does anyone object to this?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t mind. They wouldn’t want to deal with such a cumbersome task.

Soon after, Yang Gang issued the first reform order in the Yang Group’s internal communication system: to solicit employees’ opinions on uniforms. If no one made suggestions, they would dress according to Yang Gang’s ideas. Once the clothes style was determined, it had to be unconditionally followed. Those who refused to comply would be treated as resignations.

As soon as the reform order was released, it immediately caused a huge controversy within the Yang Group.

At first, most of the employees thought that Yang Gang was only verbally proposing the uniform issue, as the Yang Group had never required employees to wear uniforms since its establishment.

But once this order was published on the group’s public communication system, it meant that the new special executive director was serious.

The male employees were pretty calm, and they even looked forward to it a bit.

Uniforms? Do we have them?

Black stockings uniform, do we have them?

But the female employees of Yang Group were collectively panicked.

We cannot stay silent about this!

It’s said that our young master is a playboy with a unique taste for uniforms.

What if he demands female employees to dress in nurse uniforms or flight attendant uniforms...

Well, we could accept that.

Even maid uniforms could be tolerated.

But what if he likes female prisoner uniforms?

Damn, we dare not imagine what comes next.

So, the female employees of the Yang Group sent out thousands of suggestions and requirements.

"Fashion, Sexy."

"Can’t show too much skin, better reflect modern style and classical heritage."

"White is too monotonous, black is too serious, better be soft colors."

...

After a while, Yang Gang spoke again on the Yang Group’s public chat channel: "Uh, there are many suggestions and many requirements, I have summarized them, and it seems that the ideal uniform you think of is the dress for Northeastern China’s Errenzhuan, right?"

Eh?!

Yang Group’s female employees collectively collapsed.

Why did you reach this conclusion?

Is it that we are of different dimensions, so there’s discrepancy in our logic?

Right when Yang Gang’s uniform reform plan was in full swing, Gu Xiaorou appeared at Hangcheng International Airport, pulling her suitcase, carrying a handbag, and seemingly about to leave Hangcheng...
