Chapter 845: Chapter 735: Inspecting Sheng Tang Group (Please Subscribe!)
After leaving the manor.
Tang Qing parted ways with his uncle.
Both of them were now busy people; his uncle had to head to his Jewelry Processing Center, his only industry in Qingyan City, so he chose that as his usual workplace.
With the Management System "Sky Eye," he could actually work from home.
However, having gone to the office every day for many years, Tang Kai had grown accustomed to that lifestyle, and even though working from home was convenient, the lack of a work atmosphere made him uncomfortable.
As for Tang Qing.
He needed to visit Sky Eye and Sheng Tang today.
...
Qingyan City.
Development Zone.
Sheng Tang Group Headquarters.
This twenty-four-story headquarters building had just come into use not long ago.
Starting from last June when the design institute released the drawings, with a standard floor being constructed every five days, coupled with foundation excavation and subsequent decoration, it was only last month that they officially moved in.
As for the previous office location, it was of course no longer rented.
This place was spacious enough to accommodate all departments of Sheng Tang Group.
Arriving at the location.
One could see that there was a bus station specifically marked ’Sheng Tang Group Station’ right in front of the entrance of Sheng Tang Group, next to it lay a large three-story parking lot, a design added later on mainly to introduce a bit of ’modernization.’
It was Qingyan City’s first multilevel parking garage.
And it was quite unique.
Tang Qing didn’t drive up.
Instead, he parked at the main gate.
The last time he came here, it had been a barren piece of land; now, seeing high-rise buildings emerge from the flat ground, he naturally wanted to stroll around.
"Good morning, Chairman." The Security Guard recognized Tang Qing and immediately greeted him respectfully.
It had been half a year since the chairman appeared last; they had grown accustomed to this.
But no one worried about the power at the company slipping because they knew that, strictly speaking, their wages weren’t even paid by Sheng Tang Group but by Zhongyu Special Guard, the company that had initially integrated all the security forces of Tang Qing’s enterprises.
"Hello, no need to open the electric gates, I’ll just walk around," Tang Qing stopped the man from performing that action.
"Yes, Chairman."
Speaking of which.
Tang Qing looked up at the front yard of the Sheng Tang Group headquarters building, where three flags fluttered at the entrance of the open space, with the national flag in the middle and slightly shorter ones bearing the Sheng Tang Group’s logo on both sides.
A large circular fountain stood in the middle of the open space.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."
The fountain continuously operated.
Tang Qing remembered that the lighting effect of the fountain was very good, a pity it was invisible during the day.
The surface of the twenty-four-story building was entirely made of blue glass curtain walls, the early winter sun rising, creating a scene of vibrant vitality, and atop the building, a nearly ten-meter tall giant logo stood high.
The words "Sheng Tang Group" in golden letters might look a bit gaudy but contrasted strongly against the wall surface.
Not bad.
Tang Qing nodded.
The construction of the headquarters and the later additions had cost hundreds of millions of RMB; the result was satisfying to Tang Qing.
This truly bore the style of a major group.
Tang Qing called Yang Kai.
"Chairman."
Upon receiving the news, Yang Kai hurriedly came down the stairs.
Behind him followed a bunch of people, all high-level management of the group, with many new faces; although he hadn’t formally met them, Tang Qing remembered the photographs of the main management personnel of Sheng Tang Group.
"Good morning, Chairman."
"Good morning, Chairman."
"..."
In such a formal situation, even Qi Yan felt hesitant to approach without due formality, only managing to gaze at Tang Qing with a grievance, missing such a perfect model for her designs who hadn’t been seen for half a year; as a designer... it was quite heartbreaking.
At this moment, Qi Yan was looking at Tang Qing with the eagerness of a ’hungry wolf.’
Tang Qing was almost frightened.
"Let’s go upstairs."
"Okay."
Tang Qing led the way.
Heading toward the building.
At that moment,
The upstairs had already erupted into chaos.
If the management hadn’t been strict, people from the Design Department might have dared to come over to watch him. For the sake of his own image, Tang Qing decided it was better not to encourage them and to leave as soon as the meeting was over.
Top-floor conference room.
Tang Qing looked around, finding the conference room even larger than the one at Sky Eye; the view outside the massive floor-to-ceiling windows was scenic. If this were the North, the view would definitely be of withered leaves, but in the central province, it was still lush green even in winter.
Having meetings here.
Made everyone’s mood better.
The people below gazed at Tang Qing’s exceedingly youthful face, feeling once again as if they had wasted their lives. In just one year, he had transformed Sheng Tang Group into the leader of the domestic garment industry, which was simply incredible.
Although capital had played a significant role,
the smooth development of such a large enterprise until now was not just due to capital alone.
The boldness of the managers, the company’s well-developed system, clear development strategy and product positioning, and the internal and external conflicts arising from rapid development—had it been anyone else, even with money, they wouldn’t have achieved the success of Sheng Tang Group so quickly.
All present were industry insiders.
They had seen too many garment businesses fail along the way.
Management infighting.
Strategic errors.
Shareholder disputes.
Systematic chaos.
Outdated designs.
Dictatorial management.
...
Each had not only destroyed a company but also represented the life-and-death challenges faced by almost all private enterprises.
But at Sheng Tang Group,
these issues might not exist at all.
Tang Qing’s empowerment.
Sky Eye’s supervision.
Adequate funds.
...
All risks that could have caused the company to self-destruct were nonexistent, fostering the development of Sheng Tang Group up to today. Although Tang Qing hadn’t been here for nearly half a year, they felt as if he was always present.
Exactly.
All major decisions were made remotely by Tang Qing.
Information age.
Distance was no longer a problem.
Tang Qing smiled and began, "I’m very happy to see everyone again. I only returned to Qingyan City yesterday afternoon, and I came to check on things today. Well, it’s nice. The headquarters are well-built, and your spirits are high. President Yang, your hair has whitened a bit; you should take care to rest."
"Age catches up, and it’s a bit hard to control the white hair," Yang Kai laughed.
Tang Qing praised, "President Yang’s contributions are indispensable to the development of Sheng Tang Group to this day. Rest assured, even though I, the chairman, haven’t taken a penny in dividends this year, your annual bonuses will not be short. As for the amount... let’s keep it a secret for now."
Sheng Tang Group’s profits were all used for expansion, and Tang Qing would not distribute any dividends for years, as per the strategy set early on.
Upon hearing ’annual bonus.’
Everyone below got excited.
Tang Qing was famous for his generosity, truly someone who didn’t care about money.
Last year, Sheng Tang Group achieved industry-leading results; although the investments were huge, the returns were even greater, far exceeding target expectations. Given this, they expected Tang Qing to be generous.
With the chairman Tang Qing not taking dividends, nor did the minor shareholder Qi Yan. However, Qi Yan was not bothered by this as she was living comfortably with the deposits from selling the factory, showing little interest in money.
She was interested in how to achieve her dreams.
And for Sheng Tang Group to keep prospering and become a top international fashion brand was her dream.
