Chapter 43 Win-win cooperation
Jiang He leaned back in his chair and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The rain poured down, washing everything on the ground. Looking out through the glass window, it seemed as if an extremely wide pearl curtain was hanging between the sky and the earth.

The rain came so suddenly that pedestrians on the road were laughing and cursing as they frantically looked for a place to shelter from the rain.

Soon, the air was filled with mist, the glass became gray and it was almost impossible to see what was outside.

Jiang He's boss chair had already rotated away from the desk. His feet were placed diagonally on the table, as if he was thinking about something.

If someone pushed the door open and saw the usually serious General Manager Jiang behaving like this, they would be shocked.

However, people with nothing to do would not come to see Jiang He, and people with something to do would not rush in without knocking.

The rain stopped.

The summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly, with extreme violence, giving people a sense of exhilaration.

Jiang He stood up and opened the window. The fresh air after the rain blew in through the window, adding a touch of coolness.

These past few days, Jiang He couldn't calm down and felt inexplicably anxious.

He usually smoked only when he was entertaining people, and rarely smoked at other times. But today, in just the short time it was raining, he kept puffing away and had already finished two cigars.

After standing by the window for a while, he walked to the office, picked up the phone and dialed.

A few minutes later, Yan Fengxi, the head of the planning department, knocked on the door and came in.

He held a thick book in his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, this is the strategic cooperation agreement between the group and Dingcheng that you requested. Please take a look."

Yan Fengxi handed over the information. Jiang He took the plan and flipped through it.

This plan is very detailed, and it seems that the people in the planning department have put a lot of thought into it.

The plan is roughly divided into five parts: the first part is the introduction. The introduction contains a brief analysis of the current situation of department stores; the second part is the overview and advantages of the two parties. This part analyzes the cooperation parties of Qianqiu Group and Dingcheng respectively, pointing out the current situation and own advantages of each company; the third part is the analysis of the department store industry and the description of the online supermarket market. The fourth part is the basic idea and strategic goal of the cooperation between the two parties. The fifth part is the cooperation planning and demonstration. The last part is the summary and prospective content.

"Has the chairman seen it?" Jiang He asked.

"Not yet. I sent the electronic draft to the chairman via email yesterday. But Chairman Bai... has not responded yet." Yan Fengxi said helplessly.

"President Bai is busy right now and can't get away." Jiang He frowned and said, "Has she never communicated with you before?"

"That's true." Yan Fengxi heard this and smiled, "The chairman had previously expressed some opinions on the cooperation with Dingcheng. This plan is basically based on the chairman's ideas."

"Oh, then there won't be any big problems." Jiang He gently closed the plan, and then said, "The content inside looks good! However, our company is a physical business, mainly providing goods, and Dingcheng is an e-commerce company, providing a sales platform. When our two companies cooperate, our actual investment should be greater than Dingcheng's. Therefore, I think no matter how the chairman decides, the expected benefits of the cooperation will naturally not be the same for our two companies, at least on paper, the plan should be different. After all, we can use it in discussions and negotiations..."

"Mr. Jiang has given it careful consideration. I will revise it when I return."

Jiang He thought for a moment, then continued, "As for other aspects, you should also be careful. After all, the two companies are cooperating, and we can't let others look down on us..." "Don't worry, President Jiang. We will do our best."

"Well, very good!" Jiang He praised, "After the revision, send the electronic file to my email so I can take a look. Also, send a copy to President Bai. Although she is not in the company, she should also be aware of such a big thing."

"Chairman Bai?" Manager Yan said, "Didn't the chairman say she would be back today? I wanted to ask her if she had any opinions?" "She originally said she would be back this afternoon after finishing her work. But I don't know what urgent things happened to her, so she was delayed again." Jiang He smiled bitterly when he heard this, "No matter what, you do as I say..." "Okay." Yan Xifeng nodded.

Jiang He thought about it and felt that there was nothing more to say, so he asked Yan Xifeng to leave the room and went out to do something.

After Manager Yan left, Jiang He walked slowly to the door and then gently locked it.

Then, he took out his cell phone, walked to the back of the room, and dialed a number...

"Hao An, it's me!"

"How are things going over there?"

"That's good. Feng Lei still has a conscience. After I left Changjiang, I didn't squeeze you too much..."

"Didn't I leave a sum of money with you? Please help me buy shares of Tongli Logistics. Yes, the more the better."

"Yes, right now. It's almost closing time. Do it right away. Of course, you can also do it according to your ability."

"Don't tell anyone about this. Yes, the quieter the better..."

"Also, please handle the relationship with Changjiang well. If you have any problem, just call me..." After hanging up the phone, Jiang He felt quite relaxed.

Qianqiu and Dingcheng's intention to cooperate is a big deal. However, the two companies are keeping their mouths shut and the news has not yet been known to the outside world.

In his opinion, there is one thing that is indispensable for the online and offline cooperation between the two companies. That is logistics! The delivery service and delivery time are the key factors affecting the user experience.

Although, the choice of the logistics company after the two cooperations has not yet been decided. The plan that Zixuan basically agreed to did not state it clearly, and it seemed ambiguous. But with Jiang He's sharp eyes, he believed that Changtong would be the choice without a doubt.

In the past two days, Changtong Logistics was affected by the incident of express delivery of prohibited items by its county-level branch, and its stock price has been at a historical low. Now is the time to buy in large quantities. I believe that after the news of the win-win cooperation between Qianqiu and Dingcheng is exposed, Changtong's stock price will also soar.

Therefore, Jiang He thought again and again and instructed his loyal subordinate Hao An in Changjiang to take the initiative. In his opinion, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without external wealth.

What's more, he thinks he is not an ordinary person.

……

After Ding Ling walked out of the office, she looked around. People were busy and no one paid much attention to her.

The tension on her face disappeared for a moment, and then she quickly walked into the bathroom.

After closing the door, she took out the thick envelope from her coat pocket.

She carefully pulled out a stack of bills, her face showing surprise.

But soon, she tried to calm herself down. She wet her fingers between her lips and counted them one by one.

A full thirty thousand!

When she first received the envelope from Jiang He, she felt it secretly and felt that it was thicker. Now, although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little surprised.

Thirty thousand! This amount is enough to cover her salary for several months.

This stack of money was a little hot. She was a smart person, and this was undoubtedly not a simple consolation. Jiang He must have done this because he was with Bai Zixuan.

Ding Ling thought of Bai Zixuan and became quite hesitant.

Will you return the money?
But what would Mr. Jiang think if I did this?

He was just expressing his condolences, just a token of his consideration!

Maybe, he just wanted me to help him pursue the chairman...

Just as she was struggling with her inner struggles, her cell phone rang.

She scanned the screen and saw that it was his brother calling...

"Sister, the hospital bill has come down and they said you have to pay. If you don't pay, the medication will be stopped."

"How many?"

"The total is ten thousand. Today's money hasn't been counted yet..."

"Okay, I understand." Ding Ling said, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Take good care of mom. I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Ling's face showed a complicated expression.

Although my mother is out of danger, her condition is not very good. She is still in the intensive care unit. The cost may be quite high. Her brother is still in school, and all the hospitalization expenses fall on her. Moreover, it does not include the subsequent treatment expenses...

Thinking of this, Ding Ling repacked the money and put it back in her pocket.

Then, he pressed the flush button of the toilet hard.

Blah blah blah...

She walked out of the bathroom amid the sound of running water—she had thought it through and decided to cooperate with Jiang He.

However, it was a long time later that she realized that this was not cooperation at all, she was just a grasshopper.
