Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 6

Chapter 6

After the general meeting concluded, Sang Jing led her team to the small conference room.

This was her first time presiding over a meeting.

In her previous life, she possessed a sharp business mind but lacked the physical health to support a corporate career. She could only study the company’s operations when her condition allowed, offering occasional advice to her father.

In this life, she had finally fulfilled her wish.

Everyone in the room stared at this young girl. Compared to Sang Wei and Hao Xu, Sang Jing struggled more to command authority. At the very least, Sang Wei and Hao Xu possessed an established aura of leadership; Sang Jing, by contrast, looked far too young.

In reality, however, when it came to e-commerce experience, Sang Jing was far more seasoned than anyone else present.

Drawing from her prior review of the employee profiles, she distributed the data sheets in her hand.

“Our preparation time for this e-commerce shopping festival is extremely tight—only one month in total. Therefore, within this month, we need to secure deals with at least 80% of the enterprises and manufacturers listed on the sheets I’ve just handed out.”

Wang Xu looked at the list in his hand, his brow furrowed. “President Sang, would Muyun Footwear really be willing to cooperate with us?”

This was a relatively well-known business footwear brand among male professionals. Why would they be willing to partner with a new company for some e-commerce venture?

Beside him, Zhang Ling added, “At least yours is a famous brand. The ones in my hand are small factories from who-knows-where. I’m afraid I’ll have to spend the entire month on the road.”

Zhang Ling’s list indeed consisted of general merchandise and children’s toy manufacturers—the kind of goods found in two-dollar shops or street stalls. Forget brand names; several different factories might produce items that looked exactly the same.

It was only natural for these employees to feel dissatisfied or skeptical.

Sang Jing waited until they had finished voicing their concerns before speaking up.

“I know you’ve never dealt with e-commerce before and find our approach somewhat bizarre. But what you might not realize is that every manufacturer and brand on your list is currently facing massive inventory backlogs and varying degrees of cash flow issues.”

“Brands that are currently profitable and selling well certainly wouldn’t risk joining our event. However, these manufacturers with stagnant inventory are different. If given a chance to potentially clear their entire stock, don’t you think they would take the gamble?”

“Furthermore, every contract we sign will include an initial deposit. Even if the final sales don’t reach the deposit amount, our company will purchase the remaining balance of goods in our own name.”

These employees, headhunted for their experience, understood the logic. Though they knew nothing of e-commerce or how much they could actually sell, they realized that their bonuses weren’t strictly tied to sales volume. As the procurement department, their pay and bonuses were determined by the contracts they secured with suppliers.

Sales were the responsibility of the operations department.

Though Wang Xu and Zhang Ling remained apprehensive, they felt much more grounded than when they first received the documents. They began mentally planning how to organize their respective teams.

The operations team, however, was under even more pressure. While procurement simply had to sign contracts, the entire burden of sales fell on them.

However, Sang Jing’s next words put them at ease.

“Operations shouldn’t worry too much either. Our total budget for this event is 500 million yuan. Most of that capital will be allocated to operations. With that much money to throw at it, how could we not generate sales?”

The figure of 500 million instantly stunned everyone!

With money, many things become significantly easier. Their initial trepidation vanished, replaced by a sudden surge of motivation. They exchanged glances, resolving to plan this event meticulously to ensure a successful launch.

…

Meanwhile, Sang Jing took her team of assistants to find a friend.

She remembered that in this book, the original Sang Jing had a few close friends. One was a girl named Wen Qin, whose family owned a garment group with dozens of brands ranging from luxury labels to budget clothing.

This girl had been pampered since childhood and was very simple-minded. Even though the original Sang Jing had a difficult personality, Wen Qin had foolishly remained her friend.

In Sang Jing’s view, the girl had low emotional intelligence and was a bit dim-witted, but her heart was in the right place. When Sang Jing had read the novel, she quite liked this character; she was happy to befriend someone like her—someone she never had to worry about stabbing her in the back.

The Wen family’s garment business had started declining from the very beginning of the novel, plagued by excess inventory and cash flow problems. Later, because she was manipulated by the original Sang Jing and offended the female lead, Wen Qin was targeted by the lead’s admirers. The family company went bankrupt, and she fell into poverty overnight.

At the time, Sang Jing had felt a great deal of sympathy for her and wanted to help her family out.

Sang Jing met with the girl, and after some small talk, she got straight to the point about her plan to start an online shopping app.

“Hasn’t your family been stuck with a lot of stock lately? I want to sign a contract directly with your company. This solves my sourcing issues and clears out your family’s inventory.”

Wen Qin stared at Sang Jing blankly, her voice stuttering. “This… this is so complicated. And I’ve never been involved in the family business. How about I take you to see my father?”

She thought for a moment and then asked cautiously, “I heard that when you left the An family, you didn’t take anything with you. Do you still have money to spend? Do you want me to give you some?”

This was why Sang Jing thought the girl was “silly.” Given the original Sang Jing’s temperament, being told so bluntly that she had no money would have been an insult. The fact that Wen Qin could be so direct after being friends for so long proved her lack of social tact.

But Sang Jing didn’t mind at all. She could feel Wen Qin’s genuine concern. Even though her own family was in a financial crisis, she was still thinking about helping Sang Jing. This was the kind of relationship Sang Jing was willing to maintain and cherish.

“Thank you for the offer, but I’m actually not short on money. If you can, take me to talk business with your father.”

Wen Qin nodded in a daze and led Sang Jing to her home.
