Chapter 888 - The Concept for the Expansion of Lanxin
On the following day, Wen Xinya replied Chief Editor Miao.
Less than two days later, Wen Xinya began to accept the interviews conducted by Chief Editor Miao. The content was just like what Si Yiyan had expected. The questions mainly revolved around her experience and evolution, as well as her maternal grandfather.
They also asked her questions about skincare and beauty. The interviewers even snapped photos of her closet.
Although it was Wen Xinya’s first time receiving an interview from a magazine, the professional staff members of Poise Magazine helped to make the interview more successful by giving her some tips and reminders. They were all pleased with the results.
Everything was completed within three days.
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief.
Yan Shaoqing reported to her about work. “We’ve already begun construction for the Lanxin Corporation office tower and we’ve also hired the same batch of workers as before. The estimated date of completion of the initial stage of construction is in July next year. It’ll take a total of more than two years to complete.”
Wen Xinya nodded. Once Lanxin Corporation was established, it meant that they would be listed soon. The products had yet to be manufactured and they could use the remaining time to develop the rest of Lanxin’s businesses.
Yan Shaoqing said, “I’ve communicated with the international students’ association and they’ve agreed to introduce at least five elites to us. These people are good at IT, business management, financial management, real estate planning as well as design.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “These are the rare talents that we need.”
Competent IT talents were what they needed to increase the security of the company so as to ward against hackers.
Business management was just as important and, although he was competent, he majored in providing assistance and hence, he still had room for improvement when it came to managing the business. Hence, he was set to be her able assistant in the future, whom she could rely on and trust the most. He would become like Secretary Cao.
A talent in financial management was the most important for the success of a company. If there was no one to fill that position, the company’s finances would definitely be in a mess and thus, the progress of the business would be disrupted.
Real estate planning was crucial as well. She currently owned a few plots of land and property which were facing development problems.
As for design, Lanxin needed talents and manpower in that aspect as well, though it was mandatory to assess the designer’s style.
Yan Shaoqing said, “This is expected. Those who have good judgment can tell that all of your businesses have the potential for growth and development. Besides, you don’t lack any funds and, compared to starting from the bottom as a minor employee, those ambitious, proud and passionate undergraduates would definitely prefer working for a company that has greater potential since that would help them have a better future.”
Hence, the international students’ organization was extremely willing to provide them with the necessary talents after hearing Lanxin’s requests. If they had the ability to hire those undergraduates, they definitely had more than sufficient funds and it would obviously be worth it.
Wen Xinya obviously understood that as well. That was why she was willing to let Yan Shaoqing liaise with them. “By the way, I have an idea for the expansion of Lanxin’s future. I’d like to invite you for a discussion.”
She had already thought about that idea for a long time and decided to discuss it with Yan Shaoqing after finding it to be very feasible.
Yan Shaoqing expressed great interest in the idea because he knew that Wen Xinya was decisive and had ideas of her own. The strategies that she came up with often worked out in the end, with little to no mistake.
Wen Xinya could see the trust in his eyes. The chemistry between them had been built after years of working together. “I’d like to establish a charity fund in the name of Lanxin Corporation.”
Ever since the day Old Mr. Wen announced that he would be establishing a charity fund during the Ai Shang product launch, the idea of a charity fund had formed in her head. However, she had yet to have the time to execute her plans because of how busy she had been lately.
Greatly taken aback, Yan Shaoqing asked, “How do you plan to establish this charity fund? Given our current expansion model, it’s going to be very difficult for us to start a charity fund.”
Companies would usually establish charity funds to give themselves a better image after the expansion of their business was completed. Yet, Wen Xinya already had plans to establish a charity fund before the expansion was completed, which was rather strange.
Wen Xinya answered calmly, “I’m thinking of establishing a charity organization for civilians and blue-collar unions. My main focus is to help the lower-class citizens who have faced trouble and help rectify their problems. This team will grow together with Lanxin and it’ll eventually become Lanxin’s philanthropic business.”
There were too many lower-class citizens in society, many of whom had to suffer unfair treatment at their workplaces. For example, the construction workers who had the payment of their due wages delayed. Since they were extremely helpless, there was nothing they could do except stay jobless. By establishing such an organization, she would be giving those workers a chance to air their grievances and demand for fair treatment. Besides… the social worker team that she was planning to form would help with the familial issues that society’s individuals face and spread positivity so as to reduce the negative issues faced by society.
The elderly, disabled, underprivileged, as well as those living in poverty, could all be likely to cause problems for society. Hence, Wen Xinya wanted to prevent that from happening.
Slightly stunned, Yan Shaoqing answered after a moment of silence, “Your idea is great and feasible. It’s commonly used by upper-class citizens who are aiming to improve their image by doing charity. They also pretend to be very concerned about orphans and the poor living in the slums. Compared to those pretentious organizations, ours will be targeted on civilians and thus, it would be much more practical and useful. It would also attract the attention of the media and give Lanxin a positive image that would beneficial for our future expansion. Once we get listed in the future… we’ll have a strong foundation and secure our footing in society.”
He did not expect her to have such great foresight.
Wen Xinya said smilingly, “That’s what I thought too.”
Yan Shaoqing was indeed very capable. Those who did not have foresight would only see the major difficulties that would be faced by the company and not the long-term benefits that it would bring to the company.
Yan Shaoqing said, “This may be a good idea, but we’ll face difficulties in the initial stages of establishing it. There won’t be any legal issues, however. We can first hire some greenhorn lawyers to settle the civil disputes. Those won’t involve too many complications, anyway. We can also cooperate with Extraordinary Law Firm. They do have a civil dispute department. However, there will be a major problem in hiring social workers. We’ll have to assess their characters and personalities, and they’ll also have to undergo some psychological training…”
Yan Shaoqing had shrewdly brought up critical problems. Wen Xinya said, “We don’t have to do everything at once. We can take things step by step and work towards expansion gradually!”
Wen Xinya looked out of the window and thought about the misery that she had gone through in her previous lifetime. Back then, she hoped that she would have a savior who could give her a hand… however, her hopes turned into dust and in this lifetime… she decided to spend so much money on establishing a charity organization, not only for the profits but also because she wanted to give some help to the underprivileged and nerdy who were facing despair.
