It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Chapter 257 It’s too expensive and the company can’t afford it

In the luxurious toilet of Kuaiguang Group, an employee was talking on the phone with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Hey, eh... Okay, Mom, I know everything. I'm at work now. Let's talk about it after get off work. The boss will deduct my salary later."

"Beep beep..."

Lei Mengliang hung up the phone in a low voice and quietly looked around. He was relieved after making sure that his paid pooping behavior was not seen by other employees.

Working in a place like Kuaiguang Group, even just fishing for half a minute is a bit embarrassing.

In particular, Lei Mengliang is still tasked with the important task of managing the purchase list of the group's new movies.

Although I don’t know how he originally submitted a resume hoping to apply for a design position and was recruited as a purchaser, the salary is real!

Just as Lei Mengliang was about to put his cell phone away, the leader of the crew sent an urgent message: "Xiao Lei, Mr. Yang is looking for you. Where are you now? Get there quickly!"

The big boss of the group is looking for me?

Want to meet again?

Lei Mengliang almost lost his grip on the phone - everything was handled by his direct boss before. When will it be the turn of a small employee like him?

When he first learned that his mission was related to a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, he was uneasy for a long time.

If something goes wrong, I won’t be able to afford the compensation even if I sell him!

What's more, he is not a talent in this area...

I don't know why the leader assigned him such an important task.

Now that I have to summon myself in person, is there something wrong at work?
Lei Mengliang washed his hands in a hurry, took out two paper towels to wipe them clean, and took the elevator to the luxuriously decorated 23rd floor.

Generally speaking, only middle-level managers and above in the company can go to work on the 23rd floor.

Lei Mengliang also came here once on the first day he reported to the company.

I heard that just a year ago, Kuangguang Group occupied a small corner of this 23rd floor. Just one year later, Kuangguang Group already owned the fifth floor of this office building and the constant-temperature swimming pool on the roof.

There are even rumors that Kuai Guang Group is likely to buy the entire office building and rename Shengjing Haoyuan into Kuai Guang Building...

"It's amazing. At Mr. Yang's age, I'm still facing an unemployment crisis... Sigh, I don't know what he wants from me."

A not-so-excellent employee is suddenly visited by the leader, just like a not-so-excellent student who is called to the office by his class teacher. He feels uneasy, expecting it to be a good thing, but fearing it will be a bad thing.

After walking around the company leaders, Lei Mengliang knocked on the door of the president's office.

"Mr. Yang, am I coming in?"

Yang Ruoqian's voice came from inside: "Lei Mengliang, right? Come in."

"Relax, I have nothing else to do with you this time. I just want to talk to you about a few minor issues on the shopping list."

piece of cake……

What the leader calls a small problem may not really be a small problem.

Anyone who really believes this will definitely be in trouble.

Lei Mengliang did not dare to neglect, nodded, and said cautiously: "Mr. Yang, if there is anything I did not do well, feel free to criticize me."

Yang Ruoqian didn't waste any time, and directly took the brief list of purchases, placed it on the table, and pointed to one of the items: "I have no problem with other purchases, but here, the cost of aerial photography is said to be 9300? "

Lei Mengliang didn't quite understand why the boss used such a brief document, but he still replied seriously: "Yes, Mr. Yang... DJI's products are almost at this price. Do you think the premium is too high?" ?"

As an employee, Lei Mengliang must take the boss's face into consideration and cannot say "too expensive". He must be a little tactful.

To directly say it is too expensive, wouldn't it mean that the company is not strong enough and Yang Ruoqian is too stingy to not buy it?
Yang Ruoqian took the list back and sighed softly: "Lei Mengliang, you are also a part of the company and you are in charge of purchasing. It doesn't matter if I talk to you about some things."

"You must have heard that the group has been in lawsuits with many people recently, and there are many investments with long payback cycles. It is somewhat difficult to turn over funds. It is better to save some things."

"For example, this DJI you are talking about... Hey, if you change the brand, the difference shouldn't be that big."

Lei Mengliang lowered his head to listen and nodded with some shame.

The group did not deduct wages or reduce benefits at this time. He even forgot to put himself in Yang Ruoqian's shoes and help him think about the problem. It was really inappropriate.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I..."

Yang Ruoqian was very tolerant in this kind of thing. He immediately stopped Lei Mengliang's apology and said, "No need to apologize. It's the company's lack of ability to make money that makes you tied up."

"Instead of talking about these, let's take a good look at what brand we should change to."

Lei Mengliang immediately put his hand in his pocket, wanting to take out his cell phone and introduce some other brands of drones to Yang Ruoqian.

As for purchasing, he naturally finalized the plan to purchase a DJI drone after shopping around.

Of course, there are also other brands of drones among those abandoned plans.

"Mr. Yang, let me show you..."

But before he even finished speaking, Yang Ruoqian took out his mobile phone and pointed to a picture on the webpage: "What do you think of this brand? It only costs over 5300. The quality and reputation are very good. "

"Gulfstream G650, your crew has overcome difficulties and just used it for a while. It won't be a big problem, right?"

Lei Mengliang was stunned for a moment: "Ah? What?!"

Yang Ruoqian sighed and enlarged the picture of the private jet on his phone again: "Look at this plane, it should be able to meet the needs of your crew, right?"

"And in just two months, the crew of "The Black Robe" will go to Europe to participate in the Water City Film Festival. They can also use this plane to avoid wasting as much as possible and make the best use of everything, right? "

"In the future, the group's international business will be more and more, and aircraft will be used in more and more places in the future. We must choose a cost-effective aircraft as much as possible."

"Look, the cabin space is also large and the cruising range is long..."

Lei Mengliang, whose mind was buzzing with the next words, could no longer listen to them.

The Gulfstream 650 is a private business jet.

The price is indeed around 5300, but the unit is US$[-]...

Mr. Yang... our crew just plans to spend a small amount of [-] yuan to solve the aerial photography problem. Do you want to go straight to the private plane and be so exaggerated?

Our budget is 9300, not tens of thousands, let alone US dollars!
It turns out that the company's lack of money means that it can spend US$5300 million in cash to buy a private jet? !

When Mr. Yang said it was too expensive, he meant that US$9300 million was too expensive? !
Lei Mengliang opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

You know, the cost of owning a private jet is not just the price of the jet itself.Even purchasing a private jet itself is an extremely complicated process.

Kuaiguang Group is not a professional airline. If you want to buy a private jet, you must hire a professional team to solve the formalities.

The first step is to make a decision. After all, this is a very high-value project. You need to confirm the price, pay a deposit, and explain key information such as aircraft parameters and configuration requirements.

The second step is the complicated legal contract - including submitting an application to the civil aviation department, completing the registration of the aircraft, various import and export procedures, paying various taxes and fees, etc.

The safety of an aircraft also needs to be vigorously guaranteed.

Therefore, these documents also need to include the aircraft's engineering inspection and calibration history - if you want to issue such documents, you must spend a lot of money to hire a professional company.

After all the troublesome matters above have been dealt with, the formal handover of the aircraft can be reached.

Then there are a lot of laborious and expensive things like hiring crew members, maintaining the aircraft, fuel costs, insurance costs, route approval, customs clearance, applying for airworthiness certification, radio station licenses, etc.

All in all, the maintenance cost is at least tens of millions per year.

"Mr. Yang...this..."

"What's wrong? Are you having trouble?" Yang Ruoqian saw that this kid was a little unreasonable and immediately interrupted him, "Don't complain if you have trouble, speak up boldly. The company is humane and will help you."

"If you feel that the funds allocated to you by the group are not enough, speak up... Well, you will handle the matter, and I will allocate an additional 20% of the funds to you for redundancy. Is that enough?"

After saying these words, Yang Ruoqian closed his mouth and stared into Lei Mengliang's eyes.

How could there be employees with such poor motivation when it comes to helping the group spend money?
Did you not memorize the "Employee Code of Conduct" well?Is it because the "Ideological Guidance" has not been taken to heart? !

Why are you so cautious and afraid of making mistakes when you are dealing with a mere few hundred million?

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, just be afraid of not making mistakes!

Feeling the murderous aura, Lei Mengliang's spine went cold. How dare he refuse, he immediately agreed: "No problem, Mr. Yang, there is no problem at all. I guarantee that things will be done beautifully!"

"Okay, then go ahead and do it. If you encounter any difficulties, you must speak up. Don't keep it in your heart and solve it yourself. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang..."

Lei Mengliang, who was suddenly burdened with hundreds of millions of dollars, walked out of the office in a daze and entered the elevator.

When he left the president's office, he was in a trance as if he had had a big dream.

What does it mean to speak out when you encounter difficulties and not keep it in your heart?
If it were the previous incident with the DJI drone, which cost a few thousand yuan but less than ten thousand yuan, even if something really went wrong, it would just be Lei Mengliang's own salary to make up for it.

But now what?
Is it a private jet worth hundreds of millions?

Once this kind of project encounters difficulties, can Lei Mengliang solve them by keeping it in his heart?
Even if he didn't encounter any difficulties, it was still beyond the scope of Lei Mengliang's business capabilities.

Ding!
Thinking about it, the elevator has gone back down to his warm office.

Lei Mengliang, who was very distracted, just took two steps forward and almost bumped into the leader who had been waiting for him.

The leader had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters at this time. The nervousness in his tone was no less than that of Lei Mengliang: "How is it? What does Mr. Yang want from you?"

The crew of "Wandering Blue Star" has just been formed, and he has finally become one of the top leaders of the crew, but he doesn't want to be dismissed because of something that has nothing to do with him.

For this crew, the chief producer is Shao Yiqi, and the associate producer is Cheng Fei from partner Chengyu Media.

Among them, Shao Yiqi is only responsible for handling the general direction and big decisions, while Cheng Fei basically puts up a name out of etiquette. Except for the occasional visit to the crew, he basically doesn't care about anything.

Apart from these two, he is the biggest person in charge and the one who has to deal with the most things.

As a result, Yang Ruoqian just sent a message directly to the crew's work group, asking to see Lei Mengliang, his subordinate who is responsible for the most important work, and almost scared everyone to death.

You must know that the most important thing in the early stage of this movie is the terrifying amount of investment.

If anything goes wrong, the rest of your life will be ruined.

Seeing the leader's nervous look, Lei Mengliang shook his head: "No... Mr. Yang just made a small modification to our procurement plan, nothing else."

Small modifications...

The leader breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little strange. For such small changes, usually just send the request directly to the work group. Why should he suddenly summon the person directly responsible without warning?
Could it be that they could not listen to what Mr. Yang said?
But...as long as the matter can be resolved satisfactorily: "You are still too young and not cautious enough. Did you make a small mistake and your boss saw it? We will take a look at the specific matter later and help you check it."

Lei Mengliang was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Yang just felt that DJI was not suitable for aerial photography, so he finally decided to use the Gulfstream 650."

"Look, Mr. Yang is still considering Zhou... What did you say?"

Seeing that his boss had the same reaction, Lei Mengliang sighed: "Yes, boss, you heard me right, Mr. Yang decided to replace the DJI drone in the purchase order with a Gulfstream 650."

"Is the Gulfstream 650 you are talking about the one I understand?"

"That's right..."

"Is this what you call a 'small change'?! The price of this plane has already directly exceeded the investment in the entire movie! Is this really necessary to make a movie?"

"But that's what Mr. Yang said..."

"...Sure enough, I am still too young to understand Mr. Yang's genius thinking."

……

23th floor.

In the president's office, Yang Ruoqian watched Lei Mengliang leave. A full minute passed, and no system violation warning came to his ears.

After confirming that there was no violation of regulations, Yang Ruoqian put away his anxiety.

It seems that after the overseas box office of "Black Robe" has improved, the e-sports club needs to fly all over the world, and it has been nominated for an international award, the system has also recognized that the company needs a private jet that can be used at any time.

When the company was first founded, even wanting to buy a high-spec A8 was a luxury.

Of course, buying an airplane is something you only do once in your life, and it is one of the biggest non-renewable weapons.

"I spend so much money this quarter, I don't believe I can still make money!"

Yang Ruoqian snorted coldly and turned to open the web page on the side, trying to search for private jet purchasing strategies online.

While searching, he suddenly saw two lines of small words in the hot search column.
