Li Yanlin and her new employee Fu Yuying were inspecting the hotel venue in the provincial capital.

Their jobs were basically nothing to be busy with before the New Year. The rest of the work was enough to deal with, with Sister Chen and another new employee, Jiang Xinyi.

The last sales boom has just passed, and most of the manual products have been produced and delivered, and only the last batch of orders are still in rush to produce. After these are delivered, the company can take a holiday.

The reason why I came to the provincial capital to find a hotel venue was because my boss Lu Ze ordered that he would hold an annual company meeting.

Li Yanlin didn’t know what an annual meeting is, it is said to be similar to a commendation meeting.

But instead of sitting in the venue listening to the report, everyone was in the banquet hall, eating and drinking, and conducting the company's annual summary and commendation ceremony. The boss said that this could enhance the cohesion of the company's employees.

Although she didn't understand very much, it didn't prevent her from doing a good job in execution. So, after visiting the Jiangyou Hotel, she and Fu Yuying came to the Kailai Hotel again.

Jiangyou Hotel is famous and has a long history, but it is an old state-owned hotel built in 1959. Even if it has been renovated, it is still a bit outdated.

The Kailai Hotel is different. It was opened in April 1998 and once it was built, it became a landmark building in the provincial capital.

Located on the banks of the Ganjiang River, Kailai Hotel is adjacent to the famous Tengwang Pavilion and the famous Bayi Bridge. It is a five-minute walk to the leisure shopping centers - Shengli Road Pedestrian Street and Zhongshan Road. It takes 15 minutes to reach the train station and only a 30-minute drive from Yuzhang International Airport.

With its superior geographical location, high-end and luxurious decoration, as well as high-quality management and service, it has quickly become one of the most highly praised hotels in the provincial capital.

Li Yanlin and Fu Yuying, led by the hotel marketing manager, visited the banquet hall of the Kailai Hotel.

As soon as she saw it, she was sure that this was what the boss wanted, so she immediately discussed details with the other party. There were not many hotels in Jiangyou Province in 1998, except for Jiangyou Hotel and Kailai Hotel, the others were not of high quality.

After determining the number of people at the annual meeting with the other party, determining the dishes, determining the layout of the venue, and determining the quotation, Li Yanlin took Fu Yuying away.

This matter cannot be decided on the spot. You have to bargain and report to the boss before you can pay the reservation. Walking out of the Kailai Hotel, Fu Yuying asked, "Yan Lin, where are we going next?"

"We went nearby and found two or three hotels or hotels with good cost performance, and booked accommodation rooms. So many employees across the country came to the headquarters to hold an annual meeting. The boss said that we must do a good job this time, and we cannot lose face of our headquarters like last time." Li Yanlin responded with a smile.

This annual meeting cannot be summoned to the county to hold everyone like the last training session.

Not to mention that even the best Lanhu Hotel in the county can't accommodate so many people. Even if it can be received, Lu Ze wouldn't choose to do that.

The annual meeting of the hotel in the county is too expensive.

How could employees from all over the country have to travel through mountains and rivers to the county just to have a low-end meal?

Holding an annual meeting is to give employees confidence, cheer for the work in the coming year, and improve their cohesion. If you don’t do it, you must do it well.

Opening in the provincial capital, not only are the transportation available for employees from all over the country, but the hotel is grand enough to support the company's headquarters.

When running a business, you should be pompous to the outside world and pompous to the inside. Human nature is all about it. Even if you are your own employees, even if you pay a high salary, no one will look down on a small company that is stingy.

If the ranking is not enough, the employee's contempt will affect his enthusiasm for work.

Lu Ze still has big plans to go after the New Year, so he held this annual meeting at all costs. In order to win people's hearts, it will be smoother when implementing a new strategy after the New Year.

At this annual meeting, more than 400 branches in more than 20 provinces across the country will all come to participate. The company will reimburse the vehicle travel expenses throughout the process and arrange free three-day accommodation.

After the annual meeting, employees can also play in the provincial capital for two days, appreciate the culture and scenery of the historical city, and then go back to their own homes to spend the Spring Festival holiday.

Just to get through these things, the company [Shiguang] would have to spend nearly 500,000 yuan. On the contrary, the banquet of only 40 tables at the annual meeting seemed to have not spent much money.

In addition to the commendation ceremony and various prizes at the annual meeting, Lu Ze had to spend a total of 1 million yuan in this chicken-blooded event, which was a huge sum of money. If he changed his boss, he would never have such a heroic spirit in 1998.

1 million is enough to buy several houses in Magic City to treat employees to dinner. How is it possible? Even Shi Dadan, who makes money quickly by relying on his platinum, is reluctant to do this now.

However, Lu Ze didn't care. The sales craze of hand-book products before the New Year made a big profit for [Shiguang] company.

Although the sales data of each store sales outlet is not exaggerated and normal, the total sales volume is terrifying when all sales networks across the country are brought together.

There are more than 20,000 cooperative stores, and an average of less than 200 handbook sets sold in one store. To analyze it further, in a middle school, only three or four girls in each class bought it.

This data was completely expected by Lu Ze, and there was nothing too surprise.

The handbook products themselves are niche literary toys, and they are priced high, so there are few girls who are willing to spend money to buy suits.

However, the sales of single-line books are very surprising, and they sell much more than sets. It seems that it is natural for girls to like exquisite books, and they are in a necessity no matter what era they are.

As Lu Ze planned, the 5 million sets of handbooks put into production have sold out. With the current trend, they will be completely sold out before the New Year.

Lu Ze was glad that he arranged the fourth issue of the manual journal and magazine printing in advance, and will be published in full next week. With these magazines and novels to read, members who paid the payment but could not receive the goods before the New Year can be somewhat comforted.

Up to now, the sales of [Shiguang] cultural and creative companies have exceeded 200 million, and their turnover is still growing.

After 5 million handbook sets are sold out, plus the sales of a single book, the total sales of [Shiguang] company will be close to 300 million.

Although this turnover is far behind Shi Dabang's Giant Group, the handbook products are not as expensive as Nao Platinum. It is enough to stand out as a champion if you can achieve this number.

But these sales are not the company's profit. Even if the production costs, store share, and sales team commissions are deducted, the company's gross profit will exceed 150 million.

Even if you pay some tax, the money earned by [Shiguang] company exceeds a small goal.

In 1998, Lu Ze truly achieved a small goal, so he had the confidence to spend a lot of money to hold the annual meeting.
