Chapter 119: Poaching Cao Kun

"Brother Xu."

Xu Changhe's attitude was still very good. "Hey, why are you calling me? I haven't heard from you in a long time. How are you doing recently?"

Xu Changhe knew that Cao Kun had a grudge against Cui Changjia, so in all this time, he only called Cui Xiuyuan once. Knowing that they were all fine, he never contacted them again.

"It's OK, Brother Xu. If you have nothing to do, come out for tea and chat."

"No, I'm scared." Xu Changhe thought Cui Changjia was looking for him to ask about Cao Kun, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cao's supply of insulation materials to Mr. Wei has not been going smoothly recently, and he is focusing on this."

"Why is it not going well?"

"It seems like he offended someone in the purchasing department."

"Oh."

Seeing that Cui Changjia did not ask further, Xu Changhe knew that Cui Changjia was looking for him for something else, "Do you need my help with something?"

"It's not a favor. I want to set up a company recently. You can be my general manager. I won't let you get a fixed salary, but I will give you dividends."

She comes to sweep Hengmao International Center every day, and the cleaning staff in the corridor all know her. She can't just clean this area, and has to go to other places.

In 2004, there was only one business center of scale in the state capital, Hengmao International. The others were relatively scattered, usually office buildings built by certain units.

If Cui Changjia runs the business alone, the business volume is simply not enough, and more people are needed to achieve results. There is a difference between running the office furniture business and the folding table business.

Cui Changjia and his team’s office furniture is targeted at relatively knowledgeable people. When dealing with such people, their business level naturally has to be higher.

Otherwise we won’t be able to chat with each other.

Cui Changjia didn't have time to take a young calf out for a run, so after thinking about it, she came up with the Xuchang River.

"That's amazing! You've built a factory, and now you're starting a company!" Xu Changhe exclaimed, "What kind of company?"

"Anyway, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go out and chat."

Xu Changhe thought for a moment and said, "Okay, where?"

"The teahouse where we met last time."

"I'll be there in half an hour."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia gulped down half a cup of rose tea and said to Chang Ying, "Chang Ying, I'm going out for a while and probably won't be back. Call me if you have anything."

"Okay, be safe."

Not long after Cui Changjia arrived at the teahouse, Xu Changhe came. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and Xu Changhe looked a little tired.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong with you lately?" Cui Changjia teased him with a smile, "You look average."

Cui Changjia asked for a private room, so Xu Changhe didn't need to be shy when speaking, "How can we have a good life if Mr. Cao is not happy?"

Cui Changjia started making tea while saying, "Who did Mr. Cao offend in the purchasing department of Donghu Real Estate?"

"I only heard that his surname is Ke. I have never met him, and I am not very clear about the other things." Cui Changjia's hands couldn't help shaking. She had a pretty good memory and would basically not forget the names of people she had met once or heard of. The person mentioned by Xu Changhe was from Donghu, so it should be Ke Changlin for sure.

Cui Changjia did not continue the conversation, but said to Xu Changhe, "Brother Xu, I recently bought all the goods in Sucheng. Do you know how much the difference is between my purchase price and the price of the goods Cao Kun gave me?"

"Twenty dollars?"

"More."

Xu Changhe said helplessly, "The replacement price is supposed to be high, but other customers also said the price of the panels is high. There is nothing we can do, so Mr. Cao lets us sell it this way."

Xu Changhe also felt that this business was becoming more and more difficult. Things were different now than before. With computers, mobile phones, etc., information flowed faster and faster, and prices were almost transparent. It was simply not going to work if Cao Kun still sold at the previous prices.

It's really painful that Cao Kun can't see through the market and still keeps asking them for performance.

If their company didn't have the log business to support it, its profitability would probably be even worse.

"Brother Xu, don't work for him anymore. Come to my place," Cui Changjia said as he took out a brochure of office furniture he made and showed it to Xu Changhe. "This is what I'm working on recently. Take a look."

Xu Changhe took it, opened it and was surprised. It has only been a short time, and the Cui family has not only stabilized the situation, but also developed new business. This is amazing.

According to Cui Xiuyuan, all the Cui family business was managed by Cui Changjia, and Cui Xiuyuan himself was only in charge of the factory's production.

"Are you running already?"

"Yes, I did over 20,000 yuan worth of business in a week. Two households have already completed the installation, and another one will be installed the day after tomorrow."

Cui Changjia said sincerely, "Brother Xu, I can tell you with certainty that this project will definitely not be eliminated in the next ten or even twenty years. Come and be my general manager, and I will give you dividends."

It’s not that Xu Changhe didn’t trust Cui Changjia, but he had been dealing with logs and boards from the very beginning and had never been in the sales of finished furniture.

This industry is very unfamiliar to him. If he wants to do it, he will have to start from scratch, which is very unfriendly to a man who is almost thirty years old.

"But I don't know anything about this?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can learn. It's not advanced stuff. It's not that difficult to learn."

There are huge differences between industries, but Xu Changhe has an incomparable understanding of raw materials, has experience, and is very thoughtful in his work. If he can take over, perhaps after a week or two of training he will be able to run the business independently.

Cui Changjia then talked about the application scope of office furniture and its subsequent development direction.

To be honest, the more Cui Changjia talked, the more excited Xu Changhe became.

Cao Kun's business has been getting worse recently. He often thinks of what Cui Changjia said to him before, about starting a company to do the panel business. Anyway, he already has customers on hand, and he can earn more by maintaining a few of them than he would from Cao Kun's place.

But he was very afraid of Cao Kun, who would never give up. If Cao Kun knew that he had left to establish his own faction, he would not know how he would punish him.
Xu Changhe admired the Cui family's character. He knew that if he worked for the Cui family, they would not treat him unfairly. However, if he went to work for the Cui family, he would have to change industries. Wouldn't all his accumulation over the years be wasted?
When Cui Changjia saw the expressions that flashed across Xu Changhe's face, he knew that he must have thought a lot.

She poured him a cup of tea and said, "Brother Xu, do you think that if you come to work for me, the resources you have will be wasted?"

Xuchang River Road, "Yes, after so many years of accumulation, we are definitely reluctant to throw it away."

Cui Changjia said, "Brother Xu, I can introduce you to a boss in the timber business and transfer your resources to him. What do you think?"

Xuchang River was actually still excited, "How to turn?"
