Although he cannot turn the tide and stop this raging global economic recession, he still wants to contribute to society with his meager strength.

The secretary said that Chairman Feng's insistence, even if it only reduces the number of people who lose their jobs, is worthwhile!

Feng Chengye is indeed remarkable.

When Cen Yu'an returned to the chairman's office, several people who had arrived quickly were already waiting for her.

They kept confirming with Feng Chengye whether the news was true.

Feng Chengye didn't know why such venture capital would be interested in their small businesses, but he was sure that Hua Shu Venture Capital's call was genuine, so he and his team could just wait patiently.

There's nothing to lose anyway.

When Cen Yu'an returned, she saw about ten people present, all of whom looked visibly worn out, not like the kind of people who were living a carefree life while using other people's money.

Feng Chengye said that some people in Hushi were busy with live-streaming sales and couldn't come here, so he sent over all the information that Cen Yu'an needed.

Feng Chengye even printed them out for them, and they're all on the table now.

However, Cen Yu'an will definitely prioritize reviewing the individuals present at the scene.

I briefly looked at the directions and design concepts that these companies are currently working on, and then we chatted for a bit.

Cen Yu'an finalized a partnership with a company that makes a full range of women's clothing and specializes in lingerie in less than 30 minutes.

This surprised Feng Chengye.

Such a large debt, and you just pay it back like that?

It's just a deposit of sincerity for cooperation.

And it's really that simple?

Is it just a matter of exchanging a few words and glancing at each other?

How could a decision be made so easily?

Shouldn't we conduct background checks on these companies?

Don't we need these people to treat us to meals, flatter us, and then get to know us better?

Doesn't Huashu Venture Capital need to hold a special seminar to fully discuss and exchange opinions, and finally, have the board of directors vote to decide which company to cooperate with?

Do they have that much money? They don't care about this small loss, do they?

Now, can we go back to the beginning, when President Cen asked if his factory designed its own clothes? He must have answered: Yes!

Feng Chengye simply couldn't understand the thinking of these financial tycoons.

But he's just a middleman, so it's best not to say too much.

He silently cooperated with Cen Yu'an's conversation throughout, only muttering to himself about the rest.

For the few companies that were not selected, Cen Yu'an told them that if they were willing to work at Huashu, she would welcome them to come for an interview at any time. If they were not willing to come, they could call over their employees who were not working and were not receiving wages.

In short, she won't mistreat you.

Of course, what these companies really want is for Cen Yu'an to directly buy up the stockpiled goods they have.

But to be honest, Cen Yu'an found it completely useless.

Of course, this amount of money was just a drop in the ocean for her, but during her conversation with these people, her intuition told her that some of them were better suited to taking on debt.

Some of them may lack talent, but their character is decent.

Cen Yu'an will talk to Chairman Feng privately about helping them clear their accounts later.

There's no need to say it in front of everyone.

Why create unnecessary hatred for these lucky few?

It was agreed from the beginning that only those selected for cooperation would receive investment, while those not selected would be treated the same, and no one would receive anything.

Then people won't feel any resentment and won't cause any trouble.

It's quite normal for cooperation negotiations to fail.

There was no stipulation that the client had to provide compensation. Cen Yu'an gave everyone who came a chance, a promise, and a subsidy, which was already quite humane of the client.

These days, even if you go out to negotiate business deals and end up being completely drunk every time, you still might not get the other party to agree.

So those who weren't chosen were just disappointed, not really angry.

Anyway, they have plenty of time right now.

The two companies selected were Zhang Ya's "June Yarn" women's clothing brand and Yang Danning, who specializes in intimate apparel.

What impressed Cen Yu'an at first glance was their strategy of targeting the lower-tier market.

She entered the clothing market for two reasons: first, she couldn't find "normal" clothes at a suitable price point; and second, the industry offered many job opportunities.

Thirdly, buying clothes is a highly subjective matter.

Even if she aggressively enters this market, it will only give consumers more choices, not directly monopolize the market and deny competitors any benefits.

Her product positioning is high quality at a low price. So instead of finding someone used to the high-end market and asking them to adjust their mindset and prices to cater to the mass market, it's better to find someone who focuses on the mass market directly.

Save yourself the trouble.

After confirming the cooperation, Cen Yu'an had the company fax over the contract, which they then signed and stamped.

Cen Yu'an immediately used her personal account to settle the debts owed by Zhang Ya and Yang Danning to Chairman Feng.

As for their other debts, Huashu Company will handle them on a business-to-business basis.

Settle the bill with Chairman Feng first, as a way of repaying him a small favor. Of course, Chairman Feng will definitely be needed to process Cen Yu'an's first batch of orders.

The industrial park in her city did not reserve space for a garment factory.

As a first-tier city, Shanghai has no shortage of high-end talent, so the industrial park here mainly focuses on high-tech industries.

As for the workers in the garment factory, Feng Dong's secretary just told Cen Yu'an, many of them come from remote and underdeveloped areas, drawn by the fact that the wages in first-tier cities are higher than in their hometowns.

They traveled thousands of miles to work in other places.

At that time, Cen Yu'an thought, why doesn't she just build these processing plants that require a lot of workers but not much technology in remote areas?

Anyway, she has money, and her company's employees and workers are all highly paid.

For those who have to leave their hometowns to work and earn money, if they can earn the same wages as those in first-tier cities in places close to home, why not stay in their hometowns?

It also allows you to accompany your children as they grow up and spend time with your elderly parents.

Even if some places still require you to leave home, the choice between a journey of less than 2 hours and a journey of more than 40 hours is still quite good!

These thoughts came to Cen Yu'an when she met a worker crying while calling his child during a recent visit to Chairman Feng's factory.

The female worker who just spoke must be working in Yangshi with her husband. Their child is probably a senior in high school and is calling his mother because of the academic pressure.

Cen Yu'an saw the mother patiently comforting her daughter with an apologetic expression:

"Your mom and dad have been working away from home for so many years, leaving you to live with your grandparents. We haven't even let you wear many pretty dresses. We're so sorry we can't be home with you this senior year of high school. Honey, your mom and dad feel so guilty..."

Cen Yu'an couldn't hear what was said after that, but the sight of the mother sobbing by the wall deeply pierced her heart.
