Chapter 629: 624 Naive Listing Plan

"Cooperation? What are your thoughts?" Gu Chen asked.

"Director Gu, I know you might not see much in my small business, but I believe that if we were to work together, the brand could create significant value in the future. I’ve heard many big companies can go global, get listed abroad, and become truly big brands!"

At that moment, she spoke to Gu Chen with a look full of hope for the future.

Gu Chen had no reaction upon hearing this.

Discussing whether to go public or not was a bit premature at this point.

Moreover, going public meant inviting capital investment, and that would bring many more troubles. Like now, Tang Xinyi could only see a bright future, blind to the traps hidden beneath the tantalizing prospect.

"I want to collaborate with you, and you wouldn’t have to do anything. I feel that you are someone with profound thoughts and a soul. If you could just provide me with a few design drafts each quarter, I’d be willing to give up fifty percent of the shares."

That’s how she addressed Gu Chen.

She put it nicely, but Gu Chen wasn’t the slightest bit interested.

Fifty percent of the shares might sound tempting, but Gu Chen was sure that although Tang Xinyi had just mentioned going public, her current proposal clearly showed she had no idea about it.

"This cooperation sounds very good, but that garment was just a stroke of inspiration. I’m not a designer. You really should look for a professional designer," Gu Chen then slowly began to speak.

It was clear he was rejecting this partnership offer.

Hearing that Gu Chen wasn’t interested in cooperation, Tang Xinyi was still trying to bring him around at this point.

However, Gu Chen quickly added, "Such a partnership requires careful consideration of many things. I think you shouldn’t rush and instead take it one step at a time.

You need to understand, in the process of collaboration, the one thing that should not occur is the fifty-fifty split you just mentioned. A company like that won’t last long."

Gu Chen softly told her, and after finishing his words, he left her.

He thought maybe the numerous orders for those clothes gave her a great deal of encouragement.

After all, over a hundred pieces had been pre-sold.

One piece was a thousand yuan, so a hundred pieces meant a hundred thousand yuan!

Perhaps a sales volume of a hundred thousand yuan was something she could never have imagined before.

She would have to give up at least sixty percent of that hundred thousand yuan.

That sixty percent included money for the tailors and the cost of the clothes.

Even so, this single item had earned her a tidy profit of forty thousand yuan.

This was probably the largest sum she had ever made since she started her business.

However, regrettably, she exhibited a widespread flaw among many people, especially those who had achieved some minor success in their ventures—the blind overconfidence.

If Tang Xinyi could not adjust her emotions in time, Gu Chen was sure she would suffer losses in the future.

After leaving her, Gu Chen went to inspect the renovations at the new store.

For Qiwei Vegetarian’s decor, he planned to stick with the same style as the old one.

The only difference was to add a few more tables and chairs; that would be about it.

Given the current pace of renovations, it might take another week to finish.

After checking the new store’s work, Gu Chen went directly to his bar.

Today, he had to interview the seven sisters brought in by Wei Dahong.

Interviews and such procedures had to be followed.

At the very least, it was necessary to see who they all were.

In the scorching midday sun, Wei Dahong arrived at the bar first.

When she got there, it was apparent she hadn’t slept well the night before.

Just like Gu Chen, he had only managed to sleep for about four hours.

However, Gu Chen was practically being marinated in Spiritual Spring’s tonics every day, so going without sleep for a few days wouldn’t really hurt him.

"Director Gu, they will be arriving soon," she said to Gu Chen. "I told them to be here by twelve o’clock noon."

After hearing this, Gu Chen nodded, then said, "No worries, you can go back first, I’ll wait for them here. After you go back, make sure to get some good sleep, otherwise, you’ll be very tired at work tonight."

He spoke with considerate warmth at this moment.

Having said this, he saw Wei Dahong looking somewhat embarrassed.

"It’s alright, Director Gu, thank you for your concern," she replied to Gu Chen.

It wasn’t long before groups of women began to walk in.

Fortunately, they were all quite punctual and had a good sense of time.

Being late would, after all, leave a somewhat negative impression on others.

"This is Director Gu," Wei Dahong introduced to the seven of them at that point.

Upon hearing this, the seven of them nodded and bowed toward Gu Chen, saying in unison, "Hello, Director Gu."

When Gu Chen witnessed this scene, he found it awkward. It felt eerily familiar, yet he couldn’t quite place where he had experienced this before.

Gu Chen sized up the seven women. In terms of dress and appearance, they were neither ugly nor particularly stunning beauties that would take one’s breath away.

Instead, he felt that their social experience was quite pronounced, which was the only way he could describe them.

It was as if at first glance, one could tell that these women had been toughened by their time in society.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn’t carry such an aura about them.

"Please, take a seat," Gu Chen said to them.

At that moment, he glanced at Wei Dahong, realizing that he hadn’t yet asked her what her previous job had been.

"What positions are you all here to interview for?" Gu Chen asked.

"Did you see the recruitment sign at the entrance? It has some details about the compensation and such."

After he asked this question, they looked at each other and then nodded repeatedly.

"Director Gu, I would like to apply for a marketing position."

"I’d also like to apply for marketing. I know a lot of people in Chuan City."

"Me too, I also know quite a few wealthy people in Chuan City."

...

All seven women, to Gu Chen’s surprise, wanted to interview for marketing positions.

This left Gu Chen momentarily unsure what to say. How many marketers could a bar possibly have?

Theoretically, the number of marketers could be unlimited.

Recruiting marketers is an initiative of low cost and high return.

If a marketer doesn’t perform, they can be paid a low base salary and can be dismissed directly.

On the other hand, if just one marketer brings in a big client, it’s all profit for the bar.

Obviously, these seven women had probably heard about Wei Dahong making a tidy sum last night, which is why they were all so eager to get into marketing.

But in fact, all of the clients from last night could be considered, in a way, brought in by oneself.
