"Okay, Mr. Zou, I understand almost everything you said. Generally speaking, the company now wants to upgrade the original building project into a star-rated hotel. So in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, we can The next step is to ensure the orderly advancement of the company's main business. In terms of resources and manpower, the company will probably go all out to focus on this project. At the very least, this hotel must also be the first. We need to open before the Asian Games to catch up with the Asian Games. Am I right?”
Ning Weimin summarized all the information he just heard according to his own understanding.
Zou Guodong nodded solemnly, "That's right. For the company, probably the most important project in recent years is the star hotel upgraded by this building. Lao Xiong has made a rough calculation and we are going to invest in it. The money is at least over 100 million. We cannot afford to lose such a large amount of money, but if we do it well, it will be equivalent to doubling the assets of Huaxia Corporation. Therefore, the fast food chain project cannot be continued and can only be stopped.”
“I understand, of course I understand. But I want to know. Ah, what about the money that has been invested in the fast food chain project? What is the company going to do with it? "
Although Ning Weimin is definitely not a subordinate who obeys orders, he said It’s really not something I said against my will.
The company is spending a lot of money on real estate and expanding investment. In fact, it only benefits him and has no harm.
If nothing else, there are two buildings. It’s a foreign-related hotel again. How many business opportunities does it contain?
What are the possibilities for him to benefit from it and make money?
He couldn't even calculate it with his fingers.
He now only knows the date when the two buildings were built, as long as it does not conflict with the overall plan.
He can pick two good places first to start his own side business, such as selling secondhand goods, selling utensils, silk figures, sculptures, woodware, and other handicrafts.
Think about it, on Chang'an Avenue, next to the International Trade Center, where the future land is very valuable, he can have his own shop?
What kind of scene is it to sharpen your knife and kill foreigners in a place like this every day?
The people who were killed were all foreigners who could afford to stay in high-end hotels, so why didn’t the foreign exchange coupons just go into their pockets?
As long as he can achieve this goal, he can pick up money with a sack, and he will be happy even if he works for the company for free.
Especially now, the fast-food chain store that is almost ready to take shape will be abandoned as soon as the company says it doesn’t want it.
He estimated that he might be able to get a big bargain.
As expected, Zou Guodong was very satisfied with him being so open-minded.
"It would be great if you really think so."
Then he opened his mouth and brought the good news, "What Lao Xiong means is to sell these stores as soon as possible and cash out as soon as possible, which is good for the company. It’s the most suitable. The two of us decided to sell it to Yili. After all, Yili is the only one in Beijing that sells Western-style fast food, and these stores are in line with their business.”
"We just made contact with it a few years ago, and the price Yili offered us was not high. And because they already have a store at the west entrance of Xirongxian Hutong in Xidan, they now only want the Qianmen and Wangfujing stores. The two stores total Six hundred and fifty thousand. They just want to pay for the rent and take advantage of the situation.”
“So seeing their sincerity, we didn’t pay any attention to them now. Let's put an ad in the evening newspaper for rent. Anyone can come. As long as the price is higher than Italy, we won't suffer too much. If it doesn't work, it will be good if we can transfer most of it. At the worst, we can use the recovered money to open two more Mei Ni. Try it, Ms."
"But Lao Xiong also said that we have to wait for you to come back. After all, you designed this project, and it is not appropriate to not let you participate in the finishing. We also know that you split business space in several stores and rented it to sell clothes. Don’t worry, no one wants to pursue it, and we don’t want to cause any loss to your personal property because the project is stopped.”
"In the words of Lao Xiong, you have made great contributions to the building, otherwise the company would never have the financial resources to invest in such a large project. Anyway, it's up to you. For those stores where you occupy part of the space, you have Don’t you want to rent it? If you are willing, we can rent it to you at a good price. After all, it will be a reward for your hard work.”
Zou Guodong’s words are just right. Ning Weimin’s thoughts.
What does it mean to hit it off right away?
This is called hitting it off.
Ning Weimin was so happy that he quickly thanked her.
“Oh, thank you, thank you so much. I didn’t expect that Old Xiong is quite particular about his work. Now I don’t have any objections at all. Of course, Mr. Zou is more benevolent and righteous. I’m here to thank you. You two are so considerate and still thinking about me."
As soon as he rolled his eyes, his eyes began to shine.
"If that's the case, then why are you recruiting renters? Why are you looking for outsiders? Don't worry, just let me take over this whole business."
"Ah. ! You want it all?”
Zou Guodong was really shocked and couldn’t help but ask him again, “Did I hear it correctly? Six stores plus one central kitchen, and two vans.” . You want to come next?”
“Yes, not to mention the store, I even want to go through the procedures.”
Ning Weimin was calm and nervous. The dough is ready.
"Yes, but this is a lot of money. It's reasonable for us to take care of you in one or two stores. If you want to eat them all at a very low price, this is..."
"You misunderstood Oh. Lao Zou, I never thought of taking advantage of the company. No one should suffer a loss. Just ask Lao Xiong to calculate how much the company spent on this matter. That's it. I always do things for my own good and everyone's good. Since you are willing to help me and think about my face, I can't help but share your worries. Not much to say, we are all our own people..."
Zou Guodong did not doubt that Ning Weimin had the financial ability.
This fast food chain project was owned by Bao Duoer, and Pierre Cardin China Corporation invested 5 million yuan in it.
After all, Ning Weimin still has a one-third stake in Yi La.
He wanted to raise the money, but there was nothing he could do.
But Zou Guodong didn't understand why Ning Weimin did this.
"I said, what are you doing? Why do you need so many stores? You don't want a discount on the price? Then what are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do? ? It's a waste of time. You've even gone through the approval procedures and the store has been renovated. Now this fast food chain only needs enough manpower and qualified employees. It's a pity that the project is cut off. It’s a good deal, but I can’t bear it. Then I’ll take over, right? I’m definitely optimistic about the future of this fast food chain...” Zou Guodong should be happy about this news, after all, it can solve all problems in one fell swoop.
But actually it doesn't. Seeing that Ning Weimin really didn't seem to be joking, Zou Guodong became more and more worried.
Because of Ning Weimin's words, he mistakenly thought that Ning Weimin was still angry and protesting in another reckless way.
For this reason, he couldn't help but feel new worries and frowned.
"Are you planning to run this chain of fast food restaurants yourself? What do you want to prove by doing this? Prove that we are wrong! We have misjudged the business of fast food chains. Okay, even if we are all wrong Damn it! What about the things you did in Tokyo? Don’t you want to promote the trolley suitcase? Mr. Pierre Cardon and Mr. Zeng are doing it. Your product has been promoted at the exhibition. They have been busy for a year and are waiting for the patent to be officially released. What do you want them to think?"
Zou Guodong wanted to continue scolding, but Ning Weimin couldn't tolerate it anymore. He stopped him with a wry smile.
"No, no, no, I don't mean that. Mr. Zou, Mr. Zou, please don't accuse me wrongly? You can't even imagine how important my career in Tokyo is to me. I How can I be so stupid? I ruined my own foundation just because of anger? I don't plan to do these stores myself. At worst, I will find someone else to take care of it. To tell you the truth, this is a coincidence. My teacher recently came to visit a relative from the United States, who seems to be interested in doing something in Beijing. He is said to be a student of Western architecture, and he has his own restaurant in the United States. I would like to discuss this with him and see if he is willing. If you are willing, that would be great. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you transfer the ownership directly. The key is that the locations of these stores are great. If it weren't for the Pierre Cardin Company in this busy area, who would be able to rent it? It would just be a matter of state-owned enterprises. How could you know the difficulties of collective enterprises and private transactions? Even if you don't work in these stores and waste a year or two in vain, you won't lose money by becoming a second landlord."
Zou Guodong listened and the color on his face gradually faded, and then he realized. I misunderstood.
So he couldn't help but joke, "You are quite capable of calculation. I even suspect that you were born from the abacus beads of the God of Wealth. How come you can always figure out the matter of making money so clearly! No wonder you With such a big appetite, you can swallow it all in one go without feeling any pressure at all. Okay, Xiong Jianmin and I will do our best to help you with this. As long as you think about it yourself, I might as well pay you first. Come on, tell me, if you dare not let the company suffer, I'm afraid he will ask you for five million. Do you feel sorry for saying such nonsense in front of me? ”
However, Ning Weimin was really happy and didn’t mind at all that Zou Guodong was making fun of him.
"Five million is just five million, and it's still a good deal for me. Lao Zou, don't forget, your estimate of five million is only based on the tangible assets the company has invested, and the intangible assets have not yet been included. For example, you have been busy for so long on this matter, and you have put a lot of time and energy into it. If someone else had done this, I would not be so efficient today. How much will it cost for a big manager like you to take charge?”
“Hey, are you really angry with me?”
Zou Guodong really didn’t expect Ning Weimin to have such an algorithm. , but failed to stimulate others, but became distressed himself.
But what he didn't expect was that Ning Weimin's next sentence fully showed his broad mind, which made him look stingy in comparison.
"No, are you thinking the worst about me again? I fully cherish and recognize the value of your labor. Whether as a colleague or as a friend, I can't let your busy work be in vain. . Even though the company has decided to cancel the project, your contribution is always of great significance to me.”
"Okay, I guess you still have a conscience. I guess you can talk."
Zou Guodong finally showed a plastering smile.
He also had to admit that Ning Weimin was unmatched in the world in his ability to flatter others.
Think about it, even a serious and clear-minded person like him can't help but want to follow this kid's ways.
Is Ning Weimin considered a spirit?
But even so, Zou Guodong still underestimated Ning Weimin.
"Hey, I'm not all talk and no practice. Didn't I say that if you are worthy of me, then I must be worthy of you too. Who am I? I thank others and never say anything in vain. Just use your mouth to fire cannons. Let’s do this. Since I want to thank you, I will also give you and Lao Xiong some real gifts.”
“First, Yi La De Company’s domestic account. , isn’t it that the tens of millions of dollars are of no use for the time being? If you need it, I can transfer it to the account of Pierre Cardon Company in the name of corporate loans, so that you will have much more money, and you won’t have to wait for many things right away. It can be operated.”
“Secondly, let me give you another suggestion. If you want to make it bigger, you might as well build an additional building while the demolition costs are low. , the resettlement cost is also low, I suggest that you enclose as much land as you can in the vicinity to leave room for future development. "What? You want to get tens of millions?" Lend it to the company? Just to let us hoard more land..."
Zou Guodong pondered for a while. "Your idea is a good one, but it's also bold! Land can be acquired, but what should we do with the acquired land? We can't let the land sit idle for nothing. Shouldn't we just build nothing? It's all in vain. It doesn’t look good if it’s empty. Besides, you lent the money from the lottery to the company, so what if you still have enough money to buy a store?”
“Oh, you old Zou. Ah. Don't worry about me. I can give you the money, of course, on my account. As for the land, there is no need for you to worry. Wouldn't it be nice to turn the vacant land into a garden or a parking lot on the ground? ?
The important thing is that we occupy the land first. As long as we have the land, we can do whatever we want. If we can build new buildings in the future, we will have the possibility of further development. Now our scale cannot be compared with the International Trade Center, but that is temporary. We will lay the foundation for the first phase, but as we continue to make money, it will be difficult to say in the future that the International Trade Center will be trapped by us. There is no room to move. This is called taking our road and leaving others with no way to go..."
This initiative is quite vicious.
When Ning Weimin said this, Zou Guodong was already amused and laughed.
Not only did he realize that his worries were unfounded, he also admired Ning Weimin's scheming and methods, and secretly revealed that Ning Weimin had hidden financial resources.
However, just when he pointed at Ning Weimin and said, "You, you," he was about to give a sharp comment.
A tall and pretty figure appeared at the door of the kitchen, and a sweet voice interrupted them, "I'll help too..."
Ning Weimin turned around and looked, It is one of the two models, the runner-up Yao Peifang.
"It's okay, you're welcome. You can go and play. We are almost done, we just need to finish..." Zou Guodong said.
But who would have thought that Yao Peifang went one step further, "We are all guests, so it's better to leave you two busy. How about you all go and have a rest. I will do the rest. Even though I am from Shanghai, I can also do it." . This Spring Festival has been learned with MADAM Song.”
This girl’s eyes are bright and her smile is sincere, and she doesn’t seem to be pretending.
I don’t know why, but it reminded Ning Weimin of Qu Xiaolai.
He was afraid that Zou Guodong would be too blunt and make it difficult for others to get off the stage, so he took the initiative and said, "Hey, Old Zou, I think we can share the responsibility together. The girl is kind-hearted, so I think it's good."
In this case, Zou Guodong just let it go.
After that, of course, they no longer discussed official business, and the conversation began to turn to pure idle chatter.
So, Ning Weimin accidentally learned from Yao Peifang that people in Shanghai actually eat egg dumplings.
And I also know that Yao Peifang will also go to Japan to perform in a few days. She seems to have taken Qu Xiao's place and become the new favorite of the Ministry of Light Industry and the Ministry of Textiles. (End of this chapter)
