Chapter 70 A Thunderstorm 【Please recommend, collect】

Chen Xiao works as a planning manager in the company, and there is also a planning director in the planning department, and the director has the final say on most matters.

It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, which is a traditional festival in China. As a chain Chinese restaurant, it has also begun to make preparations for the arrival of the festival.

Chen Mo waited at the door for a few minutes before Chen Xiao came out...

"Brother, why don't you come in directly."

Chen Mo shook his head: "Are you busy?"

"I was in a meeting just now." Chen Xiao led Chen Mo into the office: "What are you doing here?"

"Is Bai Xiaoou in the company?"

"I don't seem to be here... I haven't seen him today. It seems that I'm not in San Francisco... You can call him directly."

"Well, show me around the company."

The company's headquarters office has expanded to more than 300 square meters. There is a dedicated customer service department in the headquarters, and there are many clerical staff, which seem to be quite busy.

"Chen Xiao, why are you still in the company?" A middle-aged woman with a strong aura came over.

"I'll go out later." Chen Xiao shrank her neck: "Soon, there will be no delay."

"Okay, hurry up. Who is this?" The middle-aged woman looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was frowning at her...

"My brother, Chen Mo." Chen Xiao quickly introduced: "This is Director Xiao of our department, a senior Chinese food culture designer."

Director Xiao was taken aback for a moment: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hi Director Xiao, what are you busy with?"

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, we are promoting Chinese festival culture, and we need the chef of the restaurant to come up with promotional dishes that fit the festival culture..." Director Xiao explained.

Director Xiao joined the company in June. He has never met Chen Mo, but he has heard of it.

Tangxia Yipin Company was originally founded by four people, one of whom is not in the company and is the second largest shareholder of the company.But Boss Bai, Bai Xiaoou...as the chairman and CEO of the company, is only the third largest shareholder.The bigger the stall, the more major shareholders, and some things become complicated.

"Brother, if you have nothing to do, go shopping by yourself. I have something to go out first."

"It's okay, since Mr. Chen is here, you accompany Mr. Chen, and I will go to the R&D center by myself." Director Xiao stopped Chen Xiao and said with a smile.

"No need, I have nothing to do, just come and have a look, I almost have to go." Chen Mo and Chen Xiao went downstairs together, followed by an assistant: "What is the R&D center?"

"Tangxia Yipin R&D Center, a department that develops new dishes and unifies restaurant menus."

On the first floor, Chen Mo and Chen Xiao separated and returned to the car... Chen Mo lit a cigarette and called Bai Xiaoou.

"Hello, where are you?" Chen Mo asked after the phone rang for a long time.

"In the company...what are you doing? I'm going to go fishing again." Bai Xiaoou said with a smile on the phone.

"Fart company, I'm downstairs... just got off the top. Is it in Los Angeles?"

"Ah, a company in Los Angeles is also a company. What do you want me to do?"

"Zhang Kun... Is something wrong?"

Bai Xiaoou sank for a moment: "Yes."

"There is a big problem with the accounts here. I think I'll let you know when the matter is resolved. If you're free, come over." For a moment, Bai Xiaoou seemed to be distracted, and said.

"it is good."

Chen Mo started the car, headed to San Jose, then to the California Valley, and took Highway 5 to Los Angeles.

Speechless all the way, I rushed to the Tangxia Yipin flagship store in Beverly Hills before dark.The annual rent of this store is nearly 300 million, and the renovation cost is more than 100 million. It is the store with the highest specification among all Tangxia Yipin.

In metropolitan Los Angeles, Tangxia Yipin Catering has invested a total of more than 800 million yuan, only opened 5 restaurants, only two hot pot restaurants are profitable, and three restaurants are losing money.Fortunately, restaurants invested in other areas are making profits, especially the dozen or so restaurants in the San Francisco metropolitan area...

As a large chain catering company, it is normal for some stores to suffer losses, but it is serious if a flagship store with huge investment suffers losses.The reason for the investigation is not just losses, but word of mouth.

Tangxia Yipin restaurant focuses on quality, and pays special attention to the selection of materials. Even restaurants in white-populated areas have a good reputation.But in the Los Angeles area, word of mouth is not very good.

As night fell, Beverly Hills was ablaze with lights.

Chen Mo drove the car over, and immediately a parking officer greeted him...

The restaurant is huge, not to mention the decoration.

There were very few people eating in the restaurant.

Chen Mo saw Bai Xiaoou and the others and walked over.

"Today's specifications, we are almost booking the venue." Bai Xiaoou walked over with a smile and said.

"Business is so bad...it shouldn't be." Chen Mo said.

Bai Xiaoou shrugged and shook his head: "Word of mouth is not good, no one wants to come."

"This restaurant spends a lot of money. The current business is not a loss. Remember you said before that the business here is very good?"

"When it first opened. Go up and talk about it."

In the box, Zhang Kun hung his head.Chen Mo also met his old friend Hill...

Chen Mo smiled: "Hi, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Hill sat next to Zhang Kun, his eyes were a little uneasy and flustered.

This circle... is really messy.

It seems that Hill and Zhang Kun got together.Zhang Kun was originally interested in Hill...

"Weilun Catering Company contacted me before and wanted to conduct an investigation within the company. It should mainly focus on the loss in Los Angeles...Old Zhang, what's going on?" Chen Mo looked at Zhang Kun.

"I... committed a crime." Zhang Kun pulled his hair: "I went to the casino some time ago and started to win money. Then I lost... and then..."

"Zhang Kun is the regional manager, and he is mainly responsible for logistics procurement. Among all companies, logistics procurement is the most prone to problems. I want to hand it over to Zhang Kun. I am one of my own. Don't worry. I didn't expect..." Bai Xiaoou held back his anger : "The restaurant's business is poor, because there is a problem with the ingredients. I have been purchasing high-end ingredients here, because of the craftsmanship of the dishes, there is a very obvious difference between good ingredients and ordinary ingredients."

"Zhang Kun moved the supply chain... Then, the restaurant's business was bad day by day, and he tampered with the financial statements in order to have a beautiful data. You are an idiot..." Bai Xiaoou said suddenly Outburst, he thumped the table vigorously: "It's a trivial matter for you to take kickbacks. You fiddled with the financial statements and filled in the falsely high revenue... Tell me, where is the money for the revenue?"

"How much is too much?"

"137.21. There is no money in the account, if you can't get it out, you will be sent to jail..." Bai Xiaoou was really furious.

I didn't expect Zhang Kun to be such an idiot...

"Old Chen, you have to help me..." Zhang Kun looked at Chen Mo.

"How to help?"

"Help, help me fill in the hole..."

"A hole of 140 million. Zhang Kun, what were you thinking when you made fake accounts? Did you pretend to be pooping in your head... Others do more and less when they make fake accounts. You can do it, less and more Do it. Awesome, 140 million..."

In the United States, if a company finds that 10 employees have been corrupted, it means that the company is rotten.

Tangxia Yipin has his own management model, where administrative management and finance are separated, and logistics and procurement are subordinate to the total independent department... Zhang Kun's problem is not just his problem.

Tangxia Yipin just started its business, and plans to raise its fourth round of financing at the end of the year.If Weilun Catering knows about this, it doesn't even matter if they think about it, they will definitely announce the divestment immediately... and the one waiting for Tang Xia's first product is bankruptcy.This matter is definitely more serious than imagined...

Bai Xiaoou was almost out of breath, pointing at Zhang Kun's nose and yelling: "Fill in the hole for you, it's easy to say. You lost the bet and have no money, can you tell us... This company is almost dying."

"It's so serious." Chen Mo didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and looked at Bai Xiaoou.

"This hole can't be filled, and it can't be filled. The most important thing in business is reputation. Without reputation... The people of Wei Lun Company are not fools, these little tricks..." Bai Xiaoou said angrily, unable to speak, and took a deep breath He breathed a sigh of relief: "Old Zhang, we have been brothers for more than ten years, don't say we won't help you...I will fight this matter for you. You keep the company's shares and leave within three days..."

Zhang Kun has 22 shares in the company.

If there is no such thing as Zhang Kun, the value per share should be 2.5 US dollars.After refinancing at the end of the year, Zhang Kun can almost be worth a million...

"I... thank you."

When a person makes a mistake, he is absolutely in a state of confusion. When he wakes up, it will be too late.
