After seeing off the uniformed personnel, Tan Jincheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
As he returned to the company entrance, the two Li sisters were standing there, looking in Tan Jincheng's direction.
Seeing this, Tan Jincheng smiled and said,
"It's fine, go back to work. It was just a routine spot check. We are legal and compliant, don't worry."
Li Yanning was alright, but Li Jinglan still seemed a bit flustered.
Having been out of school for less than a year, she had never experienced anything like this.
"It's really nothing? Boss."
"It's really nothing. Your boss, me, operates legally, what could happen?"
"That's not necessarily true. When I was back home, I heard my dad say there are plenty of businesses that operate legally and still go bankrupt."
Li Jinglan pouted and mumbled.
"Alright, no need to worry. Go back to work. Whether we go bankrupt or not is my concern as the boss."
"Hehe, I'm just concerned about the company. If the company goes bankrupt, where will I find a job that pays 3000 a month?"
"Good to know. Be more polite when talking to clients. Don't confront clients again. Next time you do, I'll dock your pay."
"Got it, but that person spoke so rudely, I couldn't help myself."
"Think about the money you'll get, think about the MP4 you just bought, and you'll be able to hold back."
Tan Jincheng shook his head, ignored her, and walked off towards his office.
The accountant had also left.
The few minor issues Le Jiakai pointed out today were indeed very beneficial to Tan Jincheng.
A professional's explanation was much clearer than his own amateur understanding.
Regardless of the reason, this on-site inspection was a good thing for Tan Jincheng.
Tax issues could not have even minor directional errors.
Especially after the emergence of big data in later generations, many celebrities stumbled on this very issue.
Being able to resolve these issues during the company's nascent stage was naturally a great thing.
At the same time, Tan Jincheng couldn't help but sigh that the business environment in developed regions was indeed good.
The staff's attitude today was consistently gentle, directly pointing out any questions and proposing where reforms were needed.
Their completely professional attitude, without any deliberate making things difficult behavior, truly allowed people to do business with peace of mind.
This kind of business atmosphere, even Yicheng ten years later, would not be able to achieve.
Before long, Zhang Xupeng also rushed back, likely having been informed by Li Yanning or Li Jinglan.
Seeing Tan Jincheng calmly sitting in the office handling documents, Zhang Xupeng also breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked,
"How was it? Everything okay?"
"It's nothing, just a routine spot check, a mere formality."
Tan Jincheng could probably guess the specific reason for their sudden visit, but he didn't plan to say too much to Zhang Xupeng.
After this small interlude, Tan Jincheng wasn't in a hurry to leave the company.
He spent the afternoon diligently reviewing some reports and organizing the company's financial situation over the past three months.
Although Jinpeng Trading was a partnership between Tan Jincheng and Zhang Xupeng, with their shares not differing much, in terms of operations, it was more like Tan Jincheng's company alone.
Tan Jincheng was in charge of all the company's operational policies and financial matters.
Regarding control over the company, Tan Jincheng felt there was no need for modesty.
Some matters required decisive action, and deference would only bring unnecessary trouble.
Moreover, with three months of operation, Tan Jincheng had managed the company very well, with flourishing performance, earning Zhang Xupeng's trust.
In Zhang Xupeng's view, Xiao Tan was very capable and could operate the company well. There was no need for him to micromanage; anyway, he wouldn't miss out on a single cent of dividends, even if he didn't count them.
His salary for just three months had already recouped the 80,000 yuan he initially invested. Earning over 300,000 a year, what more could one ask for?
So, he only needed to handle the logistics: managing the production progress of the OEM factories, maintaining supplier relationships, and dealing with some company procurement and other logistical issues, so as not to overly burden Xiao Tan.
After having lunch at the company, Zhang Xupeng went out.
However, in the afternoon, he was going for driving lessons.
Recently, he had been diligently practicing, striving to get his driver's license as soon as possible.
He was also envious watching Tan Jincheng drive.
Xiao Tan had said that once he got his driver's license and could drive steadily for a while, the company would buy another car.
But there was no need to think about it before Chinese New Year.
In the following days, Tan Jincheng was diligently catching up on financial knowledge and tax regulations for the current year, striving to thoroughly understand more rules and regulations to avoid any major problems.
In addition, Tan Jincheng bought another 500 shares of Maotai Distillery, bringing his total holdings to 1000 shares, with the diluted cost reaching 36.55 yuan.
Maotai had been falling for a while, dropping to a low of 34.18 yuan, which made Tan Jincheng incredibly anxious.
Unfortunately, he didn't have money to add to his position at the time, and by the time he could buy again, it had risen.
At today's close, Maotai Distillery's stock price settled at 36.90 yuan, with a profit of less than one percentage point.
It had been over a month since his purchase in early December, and he had finally broken even.
It was truly uncanny; since establishing his position, Maotai had fallen for over a month.
It felt as if the market makers were specifically targeting his few hundred shares.
"Good thing I know the trend, or you guys would have screwed me over, damn it!"
Tan Jincheng cursed with a laugh, staring at the stock price on the computer.
He wondered if that stock group would be established in the future.
If it was, he'd join and let them see his Maotai shares bought at a cost of just over 30 yuan, they'd be so envious!
Then, let's see who dares to call me a "leek" anymore!
His stock position was cleared, and his mood was quite good.
Plus, this week he secured another order, and orders before this year's (2005) Spring Canton Fair were already fully booked.
Regardless of whether it was the weekend, Tan Jincheng contacted Zhang Haiping and decided to visit his factory again.
They hadn't had time to talk during the last visit.
Furthermore, Tan Jincheng had already entrusted relevant personnel to secure a booth for the Canton Fair, leveraging Cheng Yongjun's connections.
Whether it would be successful remained unknown, as booth spaces were extremely tight, especially for the Spring Canton Fair.
After several years of development, Cheng Yongjun's enterprise had achieved a certain scale in Beicang District.
Additionally, as a local, his connections were much stronger than Tan Jincheng's.
Over these past few months, whenever Tan Jincheng had free time, he would go to Cheng Yongjun's factory to freeload tea, primarily banking on being unashamed.
Cheng Yongjun also promised Tan Jincheng that he would try his best to help him secure a booth; of course, not a single cent of the necessary expenses would be spared.
The sample library had become richer.
Currently, they already had several regular clients, including James, and this latest order was placed by James.
If they could secure a booth for the Spring Canton Fair and resolve the production capacity issue, this year would be a year of rapid growth for Jinpeng Trading!
