Chapter 135: Choice
Cao Mo did not have time to participate in the preparation of the B&B, as the "plenipotentiary representative" of Felician Building Materials Company, and then under the arrangement of the Second Design Institute of Xinhai Building Industry, he rushed to visit the cement factory built by the general contractor of the Second Construction Institute in Jiangsu Province with Chen Feng, Wendy Scafe and others, and stayed in the local exchange and study for five days.
Wendy Scarf, as a lecturer at Oyo State College, was lured to Ibogu by Cao Mo's "high salary" to preside over the construction and operation of the Ibogu cement plant from scratch.
After five days of exchange and learning, Wendy Skaff benefited much more deeply than Cao Mo.
In addition to Cao Mo's desire to cut 10% of the cost, as well as the construction of the new cement plant, he must hope that Zhongtu Group can also participate, but whether it is the general contractor of the Second Institute of Xinhai Construction Industry or the general contractor of Zhongtu Group, Xinhai Construction is only responsible for the training of technical and production personnel, and he also needs to communicate with the branch of Zhongtu Group in Ka.
Back in Xinhai, the next few days were to visit several local machinery and equipment companies in Xinhai.
During the whole process, Cao Mo directly lowered his face and talked about the rebate with the manufacturers he contacted to see how much profit margin there was to squeeze it......
After almost ten days of busyness, when Cao Mo was free, his father and Chen Rong had already decided on the location of the new homestay.
The three adjacent courtyards, closer to the intersection of Tianzifang, were promised by the three landlords to sign an eight-year long-term contract, when the courtyard walls could be opened up to make a compound homestay with up to 24 rooms.
The market is relatively good, and the annual rent of the three houses is naturally quite gratifying, as high as 500,000 yuan, and the official contract will have to pay a year's rent in advance to the landlord.
Jiaying was still driven to study, and in the past ten days, Chen Rong mainly accompanied his father to inspect different grades of homestay hotels in Xinhai City.
However, until now, his father is still a little unsure about whether the homestay is positioned in the affordable type or the high-end type of high-quality products.
One weekend in early December, Cao Mo did not go to Dongsheng Building to mix attendance.
He slept until eight o'clock in the morning and did not get up, but took the computer to work in bed, and waited for various emails to reply, and went downstairs at nine o'clock to see his father talking about things in the hall with someone from the decoration design company; Jiaying did not go to school, and listened to it on the side.
Cao Mo listened for a while, and his father hoped that the other party could make a set of quotations for reference according to the two plans of economy and boutique.
The person in charge of the decoration design company who came to contact him was somewhat impatient, probably because he saw his father's weakness, so he directly proposed to pay the design fee for the two sets of plans first.
Jiaying always feels that if you find any decoration design company, the design fee should be exempted, not to mention the design fee of the two sets of plans, and you have to quarrel with each other.
Cao Mo shook his head, took the toothbrush jar and went into the bathroom to wash, and when he returned to the hall after washing, he saw that the people from the decoration company had left, so he listened to Jiaying complain to his father:
"These decoration companies know how to make money in various ways, but the level is not high - if you really want to contract the project to them, I don't know how much money they will take away!
Cao Mo could feel that his father still couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and was under the pressure of an investment of two million, at this time, he was obviously encouraged by Jiaying to take a conservative route, and really wanted to run everything in person for design and decoration, and worked hard to do the most money-saving plan.
Jiaying has a strong sense of economy, which is related to her experience over the years, but it is also exactly the case, which temporarily restricts her from being conservative in everything she does.
Jiaying has his own space and time to grow in the future, but his father can't do this!
Cao Mo walked over and sat down, and said: "If you are positioned as economical, simple and comfortable, it is enough to toss by yourself, but Chen Rong's fox spirit, what kind of net worth is she now, how can she look at investing in cheap homestays? She doesn't speak, then she is giving face to your father, then dad, you really want to fall in love with this rich woman, you must not be weak! You used to be such a free and easy person, why did you sit in prison for four years and shrink your head?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Xiong laughed angrily and wanted to knock Cao Mo's skull.
"What I mean is that Dad, if you are just a cheap hotel, don't squeeze into Chen Rong's circle in your life, but if you can make this homestay a brand of Xinhai one day, you will fall in love with Chen Rong, and others will not laugh at you for eating soft rice!" Cao Mo said.
"Eat soft rice, eat soft rice, you kid is thinking about this is not serious!" Cao Mo said angrily.
"If you can catch up with Chen Rong, I can walk sideways in Dongsheng!" Cao Mo just said this, seeing that his father was really going to knock on his head, he quickly dodged.
"By the way, just now you and the decoration design company, asking for two sets of quotation plans are so different, people obviously see that you are weak-minded, will take care of you, is it strange? You really want to take two sets of plans to consider, and you have to find two companies separately to ask for quotations......" Cao Mo continued to remind his father before entering the kitchen for breakfast.
"Brother, do you really think that our dad doesn't take the risk of directly doing a boutique homestay? Don't be a little conservative, first make a cheap type of accumulation experience?"
Cao Mo was in the kitchen with a bowl of porridge with salted duck eggs, and when he saw Jiaying walking in with a little worry, he knew that his father was a little arrogant in his heart, and he had already said that he was tempted, but Jiaying had gone through too many twists and turns at a young age, and he didn't dare to take too big steps, but he was worried.
"How to look at this," Cao Mo said, "Not to mention Chen Fupo's other assets, her shares in Dongsheng's listed company are worth three or four hundred million, and she won't care about the gains and losses of one hundred and ten thousand." If our dad shrunk, and finally made a cheap homestay to barely make ends meet, Chen Fupo would not mention the dividend at all, she would only think that this money would be given to our dad to compensate her for four years in prison, and she would be at ease from now on, and she would not feel that she owed our dad anything. Chen Fupo and our father have a little spark now, but they are not yet at the point of dry firewood! When the time comes, Chen Fupo should not say that she has no idea about our father, and if our father really wants a cheap homestay, will he think that he is worthy of Chen Fupo? Therefore, in order for our whole family to be able to meet Chen Fupo, you have to wave the flag and shout for our father, and you can't hold back! According to me, the boutique homestay is not enough to force the standard, if you want to do it, you can do it as a luxury homestay -- the number of rooms should be smaller, not too much, twenty-four rooms are too crowded—— The remaining 1.5 million yuan will be invested in software and hardware decoration, and cultural characteristics must be made. You don't have to worry about not having high-end customers, you can now go online to check how much the annual reception fee of Dongsheng listed companies is. When the time comes, our B&B will be in the list of hotels to be selected for high-end customers in Dongsheng, and the annual cost will almost be flattened...... Moreover, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Our family is a cheap homestay, in addition to contributing, Chen Fupo really can't help, but to do a luxury homestay, think about it, with Chen Fupo's taste and living standards, does she have to help our father?"
"Yes, for the sake of our family, I will fight for Mrs. Chen!" Jia Ying was very encouraged when she heard this goal.
