Today Lifen wasn't driving her car by own. Her grandfather has especially asked her to bring the chauffeur along with her. The tone was so firm, that she wasn't able to make a single word to cross over his words.
Her grandfather seemed to be a little changed. She was confused, was that because last night she has left with Deming. But by the current changed attitude of her grandfather towards him, it doesn't make her thoughts go into any sense.
Before she could realize, her car was already pulled up at the bas.e.m.e.nt of Li Corporation. The chauffer got out of the car and opened the door for her.
She gave a thankful nod to him as she headed inside the building.
Erica was already waiting for her her arrival. As she got into her cabin, Erica followed her close behind.
"Boss, the marketing team is already waiting for you in the confreence room. These are the figures you have asked them to collect. Here", she quickly handed her the file, she received from the marketing department.
"Ummm okay! Let's go", she said glancing the figures once and then adjusted bag on the desk and headed straight to the confrence room.
'Today was another full packed day for her. Special thanks to Ms.Long Jie', she gave a sarcastic gratitude in her head and then added, 'But I won't let it go easy on her too. This time she is really going to regret it '.
As Lifen got to the confrence room, the team of marketing department stood up in respect.
She gestured everyone to take their seats while taking her seat. "So, I have seen the reports prepared by the team but I have an idea that I wanted to share with all of you. I hope I can get some honest words on my it. Feel free to oppose if it seems wrong to you".
As she worded out her thoughts, she matched everyone's gaze. The people nodded in approval and she began.
Erica quickly went to set the projector. When everything got prepared Lifen started. "As we know out brand has become a leading brand in the entire country and now we had also stepped into the international market. We seems to be prospering but something caught my eyes when I went through the financial figures."
She paused as she pointed at the screen "The figures on the screen though looks increasing, but in actual scene it is not" . Everyone was perplexed. Strong panic murmuring sounds got started.
Lifen looked and her lips curled a little, "Let me explain first. There is no need to panic, we aren't going bankrupt tomorrow. It's still loaded in our banks. So just be cool".
The people took a sigh of relief and the words of tte woman really made them feel the sense of ease.
"Okay now starting from where I left. There is no doubt the sale of our line of products are increasing but it's not the way it should increase. If it continues like this we will definitely turn into loses sooner or later", she added .
"If we divide our figures between the two different markets, then we can see that our sales are continously decreasing in the domestic market. The figures are getting balanced with the help of foreign market sales but it's not good for the long run", she pointed at the figure on the screen as it got divided into two.
"International market is definitely good for high profits but it shouldn't suppress our growth domestically. Only our shares in domestic market will ensure how strong our roots actually are. In respect of these facts, I have some plans to discuss but first would like to hear from you all. What's your views regarding this?"
She took her seat back at the head of the confrence table and then looked at the other people who was sitting on the table listening to her words.
They quickly exchanged their gazes with each other nodding their head. One of them stood up and spoke politely, "Sorry Ma'am! It's completely our negligence. We never thought of things in this way".
"It's okay. We are humans, born to make mistakes. It's good that we can find the flaw at the right time and now we can rectify it", she said with a smile which really made them feel how lucky they were to get such an easygoing Boss.
"Ma'am it's your generosity that you are letting our mistakes pass. We will support your plans", he quickly added.
"Fine. Let me tell my plans first. Since we are having such creative emerging potentials in our country we can take them in and offer benefits to them equally. They have their small shares in the market which will automatically come under us too and at the same time we will get more ideas of creativity too. We can plan for a program where everyone will get fair chance to compete and then have a contract with us for a finite term which can obviously get extended if things work well"
"This will not only benefit us with the new blood but also let them have more opportunity to learn better. What say?", she asked. Her eyes were a little excited to fill everyone with right amout of enthusiasm.
Everyone nodded their head as they really found the plan intresting. They didn't have to look at each other this time to discuss, they simply agreed to it. The thought was simple yet it never occurred to their minds.
Lifen too nodded then said, "But this time we have to give fair chance to everyone so that no one can complain us for being bias. Everyone will be there fighting equally and fairly for themselves. You all can frame any such plan that can measure their creativity, skills in management and also their personal way of interacting with the people and ofcourse the workers. And we can execute it as soon as possible", she paused to see the people's agreement then continued, "That's all for now, we will discuss everything again when you are ready with the program".
The team nodded. The representative quickly stood up and said gratefully, "Thank You Ma'am! Your time is precious yet you tried your best to guide us". Then everyone got up and bowed their head.
Lifen too got up and left the room, leaving the team to discuss the things among themselves.
Erica too followed behind her. This wasn't new for her. Her boss always have different ways to tackle situations.
"Boss, soon the CEO of GLIMMERS will be here. Will you meet her in your office or should I prepare the meeting room for you".
"It would be better if we prepare a separate room to discuss things with her. So prepare the meeting room", Lifen said and stroded back into her cabin.
