Seeing everyone's response, Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction and turned to Chen Jie: "Chen Jie, I'll give you a card later. It contains a large amount of my funds. I'll inject 3 million into the company initially. You can keep track of their progress."
"You can decide how much you need later. As for the reports, just give them to me once a quarter."
Shen Yan wasn't a diligent person, but he wasn't careless either; he simply handed everything over to his subordinates.
Putting everything else aside, as the boss, he should at least know how his company is doing, right?
"Yes, boss."
Chen Jie immediately agreed, and then greeted everyone: "Dear colleagues, please bear with me in the future."
Seeing Shen Yan appoint Chen Jie on the spot, the company's senior executives dared not say anything. However, they knew that Chen Jie would be the company's president from now on, with a higher status than Chu Hong, the general manager.
Previously, due to the company's size, there was no president besides the general manager, but with all this money being poured in, it's time for a president to come.
Chen Jie alone can determine whether they can survive in the company.
But they couldn't find any reason to refute it, after all, the company belonged to Shen Yan, Chen Jie was capable, and moreover, they were going to invest hundreds of millions of yuan.
As the boss, it's natural to place your own people in positions of power.
They immediately exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Jie, and unlike before, most of them now spoke with a fawning tone.
"All right."
After they had been talking for a while, Shen Yan interrupted them, saying, "You can talk about it later. I have something else to discuss with you today."
As soon as Shen Yan said this, everyone fell silent, sat back down, and looked up at him.
After everyone was seated, Shen Yan placed his hands on the table before speaking: "Actually, I'm not entirely satisfied with your plan this time, but I'll only agree if it meets my minimum expectations."
"Wow!"
The crowd was in an uproar; they never expected Shen Yan to say such a thing after the plan was finalized.
This undoubtedly dampened their spirits!
It's worth noting that not long ago, they were overjoyed because their plan had been approved and they had secured funding.
But now, Shen Yan's words have brought them back to reality.
Of course, some people disagreed, but they didn't say it out loud.
Shen Yan smiled and looked around, then looked at them with a smile: "What, you don't believe me?"
"Okay, I'll talk to you about why now."
As he spoke, Shen Yan gestured to Ma Tao, who immediately understood and took out a large stack of documents from his briefcase, distributing them to everyone.
The executives stared wide-eyed at the contents of the document.
"This this...."
"Furniture City?!"
"This is the Yi family's model..."
"No way, Chairman Shen, do you mean we're going to follow the Yi family's model? This... this is taking too big a step."
“…”
During this period, Yijia had already begun its expansion in China, opening approximately eight furniture stores in major cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The store sells all sorts of strange and wonderful things, from pots and pans to mattresses and furniture, making it comparable to a large furniture supermarket.
Users can push shopping carts to select the furniture they want, and even DIY their own.
It can be said that it is deeply loved by today's young people and elite white-collar workers.
However, to support such a furniture supermarket, not only is a huge capital chain required, but also a huge material reserve. Even for an industry like Yijia, there are currently only eight stores in China.
However, according to Shen Yan's memory, by the time he transmigrated, as of 2024, the Yi family had already opened 39 branches.
It's just that the Yi family's development in this world was a bit slow; otherwise, after 18 years, there would be at least 20 or more families. This is also Shen Yan's opportunity.
It is worth noting that Yijia later established 16 procurement regions globally, three of which were in China, accounting for 18% of the total procurement volume.
It has become one of E-Home's largest procurement markets and an important area for business growth, holding a pivotal position in E-Home's global strategy.
In October 19, Interbrand ranked E-Home 26th in its list of the world's top 10 brands.
Of course, these are all achievements from a previous life.
In this world, the Yi family has not yet completed its major domestic layout, and Shen Yan plans to snatch a piece of the pie.
With such a large market in China, how can we allow foreign capital to act so arrogantly?
Shen Yan looked at everyone and after a long pause said, "Since you are involved in this industry, you naturally know how big the furniture market is in China."
“We are native to this place, and we have a greater advantage in accessing resources compared to the Yi family.”
"Moreover, as you all know, the home renovation market will eventually become saturated, and we will have to face the issue of transformation sooner or later. This is the development strategy I am providing."
Chu Hong was greatly surprised upon hearing this, and she felt her mouth go dry.
If she was previously complacent about obtaining such a large sum of money for herself and others, she is now completely dumbfounded.
Compared to Chairman Shen, my vision is still too narrow.
What is vision? This is what vision looks like, like Chairman Shen's!
What is strategy? This is strategy, like Chairman Shen's!
Ambitions are set on the national market, no, even the world market!
No, what have I, Chu Hong, done to deserve working for such a boss?
She said somewhat nervously, "But Chairman Shen, this...this will probably require a lot of funds, even more than we just planned."
"This is no longer something that can be stopped at a few hundred million or a billion."
The others nodded in agreement.
Yes, this is not something that can be accomplished with a billion dollars.
It must be at least several billion, maybe even tens of billions?
Moreover, based on the industries they've been involved in so far, hundreds of millions have already made them sweat profusely, let alone building an industrial chain like the Yi family's.
Putting everything else aside, their abilities are a major problem.
This is like leading an army into battle. You can lead a squad of soldiers well, or a platoon of soldiers well, but can you lead a company? Or a battalion well?
Moreover, the development strategy proposed by Shen Yan is equivalent to the size of an army group.
A whimsical decoration?
It's at most the size of a company now.
The two are very different.
"money?"
Shen Yan smiled faintly and held up one finger: "I have repeatedly emphasized that money is not a problem, so this time I plan to allocate 150 billion yuan in cash and invest it in China to directly set up three procurement zones."
"Furniture malls are located in first-tier and super-first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Guangzhou."
"The timeframe is two years, and we aim to surpass Yijia in terms of quantity, quality, and user experience."
"In addition, I named it Wonderful House, a sub-brand of Wonderful Decoration. I am telling you here that if you want to contribute to Wonderful House, then come to Ma Tao. He is the head of Wonderful House and the CEO of Wonderful Decoration. Chen Jie is the president."
"Please give me your guidance, everyone."
Ma Tao stepped forward with a smile and greeted him, his face beaming with kindness.
Upon seeing this, everyone wore ingratiating smiles, knowing that this person was with Chen Jie and was not someone to be trifled with.
What's more, he currently has a major project worth 150 billion!
To be fair, Shen Yan's words just now touched many people, but they need to process them properly.
Shen Yan could see that they were all confused at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. This is just a hint of our future development strategy. It's impossible for it to be implemented in less than a year."
"During this period, you should focus on cooperating with the expansion of Wonderful Decoration. If you have any insights or want to make progress during this time, just go and talk to Ma Tao."
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
Shen Yan waved his hand, and everyone reluctantly left the conference room. Even after they came out, they still looked incredulous.
One second they were executives at a company with assets worth tens of millions.
The next second, they became employees of a company worth tens of billions.
No?
Whose company's assets have increased like this?!
This beaver?
This is clearly not a beaver...
The new boss is cheating!
Their strength is truly terrifying; there are probably few in the country who can compare to the new boss.
Compared to the surprise of these executives, Shen Yan sat in the conference room, looking at Chu Hong and He Fanxing, who were very reserved in front of him.
Clearly, the two men had witnessed his terrifying wealth and now held him in even greater awe and reverence, daring not to act presumptuously in his presence.
Seeing their nervousness, Shen Yan smiled and reassured them, "Relax. There's something I need to tell you about keeping you here."
"Chairman Shen, what are your instructions?"
Chu Hong immediately stepped forward to respond, but her voice was trembling slightly.
She had previously overestimated Shen Yan's wealth, only to realize in the end that she had underestimated him.
This isn't some Chairman Shen; he's a financial tycoon, the kind who can manipulate things in China.
"It's nothing. Jingyan Group has three apartment buildings completed this year, and I got the renovation quota for one of them for our company."
"Once the inspection is passed, you can start preparing for the renovation."
"Tomorrow, the two of you will accompany me to Jingyan Group to discuss the specifics."
