Chapter 442 Becoming Fu Zimou's Client
"According to the plan, we will divide the group's hotels into four sub-brands based on their target customer groups: Chen, Da, Qi, and Yi. These are luxury hotels catering to top political and business figures, business hotels catering to business travelers, resort hotels, and budget-friendly hotels, respectively."
"Standardized renovations will be carried out on all types of hotels, according to the plan..."
"The estimated renovation costs are..., of which..."
"Based on the brand positioning, we will reassess and adjust the candidate for general manager to ensure that they align with the brand's image. According to data analysis, Southeast Asia..."
Fu Ziyan placed her hands on the edge of the table, her gaze steady as she watched each member of the project team explain their recent work. Only at the end did she speak up to offer her comments and make her requests.
The meeting had been going on for nearly two hours, yet no one was distracted for even a moment.
Fu Ziyan remained calm and composed, exuding the air of a leader. She finished explaining her requirements in a measured and unhurried voice, then smiled and stood up: "Then today's meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for your hard work."
The project team members stood up one by one, watched their boss leave with his secretary, then packed up their belongings, exchanged wry smiles, and left the meeting room.
Before the project is completed, every meeting means several busy days to come.
Fortunately, Yuanxi Hotel does a good job of protecting the rights and interests of its employees. Overtime is rare on weekdays, and employees who work overtime are paid by the hour when things get busy. After Fu Ziyan took office, she even arranged for the logistics department to prepare late-night snacks every night based on the number of overtime workers.
The late-night snacks at Yuanxi's Hong Kong headquarters are naturally quite good.
When Mu Mu turned around to find the meeting secretary as instructed by the young lady, she heard an employee lamenting that he would have to work overtime tonight, and then looking forward to the variety of late-night snacks.
Mu Mu: "......"
Well... you're quite optimistic and open-minded, huh?
Mu Mu entered the office with a slight smile on her face. Fu Ziyan, who had already finished her work for the day, asked with interest, "In a good mood?"
"Just now..." Mu Mu shared what had just happened with the young lady, and seeing the young lady's lips curve into a smile, he then reported, "Young lady, Young Master Mu has asked to meet with you."
"Oh?" Fu Ziyan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"No one visits the temple without a reason." What is Fu Zimou up to?
What could Fu Zimou possibly want to do? In the past few years, having lost his father's favoritism and suffered some setbacks, he has grown a lot. He has put aside his romantic feelings and made considerable progress in business. His mind is also much clearer. He deeply understands that he is just one of his father's many children, and his former self-satisfied status as the "eldest grandson" has no special meaning. However, he is still a member of the Fu family, and the identity of a member of the Fu family shines brightly.
For example, personal connections, family resources, and the opportunity to secure cooperation by leveraging the "family" connection.
Although my relationship with my cousin is neither particularly close nor distant, being a member of the Fu family gives me more face compared to other companies, so I naturally want to actively seek out opportunities for cooperation.
After learning about the integration of Yuanxi Hotel's sub-brands, he attempted to secure the interior design project for the Yuanxi Hotel sub-brands. He assembled a team, conducted research on the decoration styles of hotels in various countries, produced various interior design drafts, and formed a preliminary design plan before Fu Zimu proposed to meet with Fu Ziyan.
Fu Ziyan's slight doubts vanished after seeing the contents of the document that Fu Zimu had given her.
She stared intently as she carefully read through the pages before chuckling softly, "My cousin is well-prepared."
"So, what does my cousin think?"
Fu Ziyan's gaze fell on the research content of the document. From a business perspective, although the report was concise, the relevant information and the overall design style were quite good. It even listed the quality of the company's products over the years, and both the design and quality suited her well.
In Hong Kong's furniture industry, Fu Zimu's furniture company has risen to prominence. Although it was not prominent in its early years, it has grown stronger in recent years after Fu Zimu became clear-headed and is now among the top furniture companies in Southeast Asia.
Fu Ziyan closed the file, then looked up and her gaze fell on his brows. Her voice was gentle: "Cousin, are you trying to use this to expand into the European and American markets?"
The topic suddenly changed, and Fu Zimou smiled in surprise.
"My cousin is very perceptive; Muge Furniture does indeed have plans to expand into overseas markets."
Fu Ziyan nodded and smiled gently: "Let's set a time, and I'll arrange for my team to visit the furniture factory to check on the quality of the wood and products."
It is standard practice for Party A to inspect the quality of Party B's products before cooperating.
As long as Fu Zimu's furniture company can provide her with a satisfactory solution, Fu Ziyan will naturally prefer to cooperate with Fu Zimu, since it's better to keep the benefits within the family.
First, to ensure the smooth expansion of the market, Fu Zimu will do his utmost to complete this deal. Second, although her relationship with Fu Zimu is lukewarm, and they even had some minor conflicts many years ago, times have changed. With her shifting perspective and outlook, those youthful squabbles are completely insignificant compared to the overall development of the family. As members of the Fu family, mutual support is essential for the family's growth.
As Fu Qiyuan's daughter and a future director of the family foundation, it is her duty, or rather, obligation, to unite family members and promote the family's development. She has grown and developed with the backing of the Fu family's power; the stronger the family's power, the stronger her support.
Fu Zimu raised his eyebrows and smiled, picking up the teapot to refill Fu Ziyan's teacup again: "It's my pleasure, thank you for giving me this opportunity, cousin. I did some things in the past that made you unhappy, and thank you for your forgiveness."
Fu Ziyan smiled, pursing her lips.
Fu Zimou has indeed grown a lot. When meeting with clients, he only discusses cooperation based on the capabilities of the other party, and after the project is concluded, he does not forget to apologize for past actions.
She picked up her teacup, nodded with a smile, and drank it all in one gulp.
"We are siblings, so there's no need for thanks. As for the unpleasantness in the past, it was just youthful impetuosity. Cousin, you don't need to take it to heart," Fu Ziyan said with a smile. "I wish our cooperation a success and that Muge Furniture will establish an overseas distribution network."
"Thank you for your kind words, cousin." Fu Zimou also picked up his teacup, offering tea instead of wine in a toast, as if the little grudges from the past had disappeared with the tea.
Looking at Fu Ziyan's expression, he felt a pang of sadness.
This cousin is only so young, she'll be turning twenty-five soon, yet she already has such a broad mind and a great sense of perspective. When he was twenty-five, he was still caught up in the emotional turmoil of fighting for the family fortune, and at twenty-seven, he plunged headlong into a whirlpool of childish "love," only waking up and realizing the truth in recent years.
My cousin is indeed worthy of being the heir raised and educated by my second uncle. He really can't compare to her. It's laughable how he was so self-righteous and stubborn back then.
Fu Zimu went to a bar to drink and express his feelings with mixed emotions. As soon as he got home, his butler came up to him with a look of relief and embarrassment: "Sir, the young master got into a fight with a classmate at kindergarten. The teacher asked the parents to come in."
Thank goodness Mr. is back, otherwise he would have had to go to the young master's school again to act as a substitute parent and mediate disputes between the children. He's just a lowly butler, how could he possibly compete with those fiercely protective wealthy ladies!
Fu Zimou, who was slightly tipsy after a few drinks, suddenly sobered up.
He frowned: "Where is your wife?"
"My wife had an urgent matter at her company and packed her bags to go on a business trip around noon."
Fu Zimou: "..."
For some reason, my once gentle and considerate wife suddenly became career-oriented after giving birth. She opened a furniture and decoration company, selling home fragrances and wall and table accessories.
He initially thought He Simian was just starting a company for fun because she was bored at home after her son started school. However, he didn't expect her to become increasingly busy this year, traveling to Southeast Asia for business trips and completely neglecting her family. He suggested that He Simian hire a professional agent to manage the company, but He Simian gave him the cold shoulder.
Thinking that Fu Yanzhang would soon turn into a walking encyclopedia of questions, following him around asking "When is Mommy coming back?", Fu Zimu rubbed his temples in annoyance.
He really didn't understand why Mianmian, who used to be gentle and considerate, was so different after giving birth.
