Usually, Li Xin rarely came to the pet hospital. His pet hospital had already entered a stable phase, and he didn't need to worry about the daily operations.
However, Li Xin was at the pet hospital early this morning, which made the employees feel very strange.
But it was no secret that Li Xin wanted to sell the pet hospital and had been looking for a buyer. He came today specifically for this matter. Seeing Li Xin's unusual behavior, the employees were very nervous, as changing bosses could lead to anything. The welfare at Li Xin's pet hospital was relatively good compared to others, and many people didn't want to lose their jobs.
Even if the new boss didn't plan to replace the staff for the stability of the pet hospital, a pay cut would still be very unpleasant. Not every boss was as generous as Li Xin.
The employees of Li Xin's pet hospital were discussing the situation below, all feeling anxious and unable to focus on their work.
Under the repeated urging of his subordinates, the manager of Li Xin's pet hospital had no choice but to go to Li Xin's office to understand the situation.
"I know what you want to ask. Yes, if everything goes as planned, I will sell the pet hospital today," Li Xin said before the manager could ask, "But I have no choice. I don't know what the new boss of the pet hospital will do, and I have no authority to interfere."
Hearing Li Xin say this, the manager had nothing to say and could only leave the room.
As the manager was about to leave the room, Li Xin suddenly said, "I will negotiate with the other party to try to keep the hospital unchanged."
In fact, Li Xin was very reluctant to part with the pet hospital he had started himself. However, he urgently needed a large sum of money to turn things around. He had invested in a new project abroad, and now the project was at a critical stage, requiring a large amount of funds. With no other options, Li Xin had to sell the pet hospital to maintain the project. Otherwise, without the necessary funds, the project would fail, and all the effort and money he had invested would be in vain.
If he had taken the pet hospital to the bank for a mortgage loan, the bank would not have provided enough funds. Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered selling the pet hospital directly. Besides his emotional attachment to the pet hospital, its long-term stable profits also made him very reluctant to part with it. However, the new project now needed funds, and the results were about to come out.
Having already invested a lot, Li Xin didn't want to give up, so he had to sell the pet hospital in one go to raise the funds.
Li Xin knew what the employees were worried about, but he himself was in a difficult position. Now the initiative was in the hands of the other party, and with his urgent need for funds, he had no conditions to demand any promises from them.
The next day, Su Zhe came to Li Xin's pet hospital alone at the agreed time.
Since both he and Li Xin were introduced by an intermediary, they had to notify the intermediary during the transfer. So, when he decided to buy Li Xin's pet hospital yesterday, he had already informed Dong Hong from the intermediary.
When he arrived, Dong Hong from the intermediary was already there, waiting for him in the pet hospital. He and Dong Hong went to the office to discuss the specific transfer agreement with Li Xin.
Since all the conditions had been clearly stated last time, neither party changed their mind about the price, so they quickly reached an agreement.
Under the witness of Dong Hong from the intermediary, Su Zhe and Li Xin signed the transfer agreement.
After signing the transfer agreement, Su Zhe transferred 70 million yuan to Li Xin. The intermediary also needed to charge one percent of the final transaction price as a referral fee, so Su Zhe paid an additional 700,000 yuan to Dong Hong.
"Mr. Li, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I hope we can work together again in the future," Su Zhe stood up and shook hands with Li Xin.
"From now on, I should call you Mr. Su. This pet hospital now belongs to you," Li Xin smiled.
Everyone laughed at Li Xin's words.
With nothing left for Dong Hong, he left first, citing the need to file the documents back at the intermediary.
After Dong Hong left, Li Xin tried to ask Su Zhe about his plans for managing the pet hospital.
"Mr. Li, don't worry. I won't make any major changes to the pet hospital. I lack experience in this area, and you have already put it on a stable track after running it for so long."
Li Xin was already very satisfied with Su Zhe's promise. For the employees of the pet hospital, Li Xin could now feel at ease.
After that, Li Xin took Su Zhe to introduce him to the staff.
There were no customers at this time, so Li Xin gathered everyone on the first floor.
Li Xin clapped his hands to get everyone's attention and said, "I'm sure everyone knows. I won't say more. This is the new owner of the pet hospital. Please let your new boss introduce himself."
"Hello everyone, my name is Su Zhe. I hope we can work together well in the future. We are not familiar with each other yet, so please introduce yourselves, including your positions and how long you have been here," Su Zhe introduced himself briefly and then asked each employee to introduce themselves so he could get to know them.
At this moment, Li Xin's phone rang. After answering the call, he said goodbye to Su Zhe and left.
After Li Xin left, the employees began to introduce themselves one by one.
"Hello Mr. Su, I am Li Hua, the manager of the hospital. I am mainly responsible for the daily operations and have been here for three years," the first person to introduce himself was the manager of the pet hospital. Apart from Li Xin, Li Hua was the highest-ranking administrator and the longest-serving employee at Li Xin's pet hospital.
"Hello Mr. Su, my name is Liu Xiaobo. I am a veterinarian and have been here for two years."
"Hello Mr. Su, my name is Meng Na. I work at the front desk and have been here for..."
One by one, the employees introduced themselves formally.
After everyone had introduced themselves, Su Zhe stood up and said, "From now on, you don't need to call me Mr. Su. Just call me by my name. We have basically gotten to know each other. I hope we can work together well in the future. Don't worry, I won't make any changes to the hospital, and the staff will remain the same."
After a brief pause, Su Zhe continued, "Your salaries and benefits will remain the same. However, from now on, it will depend on your performance. I will give raises based on the actual profits of the hospital to those who work hard. As for those who are lazy, be prepared to pack your bags and leave."
After Su Zhe finished speaking, everyone clapped enthusiastically. They weren't clapping for Su Zhe's promises but to show their enthusiasm to the new boss.
However, everyone was still very happy with what Su Zhe said. As for how much of it was true, they couldn't judge, but they could only hope that Su Zhe was telling the truth.
