Liu's Building.

The world's No. 1 Chinese restaurant.

After listening to the three cooperation methods that Liu Xiahui said, Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Liu, thank you for your optimism, I think if Cocoa is a capital acquisition, how many shares do you need at least?"

"It's best to be 49 percent, and the lowest is not less than 45 percent. ”

Mr. Zhang said: "I think there is another question, if Mr. Liu becomes a shareholder, then the management of Haidilao, do you want to interfere?"

Liu Xiahui shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, even if I control the acquisition, I will give you full authority to manage it, not to mention that I don't have a controlling stake." Mr. Zhang, your management ability, I am very trusting, once I become a shareholder, in addition to arranging people to enter the financial department and providing help within my ability, I don't care about other management, how to develop or Mr. Zhang, you have the final say. ”

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, so it was a good thing, Haidilao still belonged to their husband and wife's Haidilao, although it was not 100% controlled as before, but if it reached a cooperation with Mr. Liu, it would be regarded as a backing mountain, and there were still a lot of benefits.

For example, the procurement of raw ingredients, although the scale of their Haidilao procurement is not small, but compared with Laoliu Catering, it is definitely far inferior, and the cost of Laoliu Catering will definitely be reduced a lot.

The same is true for seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the larger the scale of procurement, the cheaper it will definitely be, even if it is only a few cents apart, with the amount of Haidilao, it is also a lot of money.

In addition, there are also a variety of connections, today's Laoliu catering has long been popularized throughout the country, and there are very strong connections in various provinces and cities.

The most important thing is that once Mr. Liu becomes a shareholder, then the funds restricting the development of Haidilao are no longer problematic, so he can further accelerate the pace of development and work hard for listing!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang nodded slowly and said: "Mr. Liu said so, then I will rest assured, I agree to sell 45% of the shares to Mr. Liu, I hope to cooperate with Mr. Liu for a win-win situation, and operate Haidilao into the first brand of hot pot!"

Hearing Mr. Zhang's answer, Liu Xiahui was also very satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you and I join forces, it can be said that we complement each other's advantages, and Haidilao will inevitably become the first brand of hot pot." ”

Although it was not fully acquired, nor was it able to control the acquisition, it was very good to be able to account for 45% of the shares.

Even if he completely leaves it alone, according to the development of Haidilao in his previous life, Haidilao will be listed in Xiangjiang a few years later, and his 45% shares will earn hundreds of billions, there is still nothing to do.

Mr. Zhang nodded again and again when he heard this, and said: "The catering under Mr. Liu's name has an excellent reputation, and it can be said that it has achieved the ultimate in taste, all of which I heard comes from the control of ingredients, I don't know if it's true?"

Liu Xia Hui said with a smile: "That's true, the catering under my name has extremely high requirements for the quality of ingredients, and I can purchase better quality ingredients at the same price, and the quality of the ingredients is good and the taste is naturally far away from other peers!"

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Mr. Liu, when we reach a cooperation, we may have to purchase some high-quality ingredients through your procurement channels, so that our Haidilao will not only serve unmatched peers, but also have a taste that can be outstanding!"

"Of course it's okay!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Come, Mr. Zhang, I will toast you with tea instead of wine, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Mr. Zhang didn't have any worries when he came at this time, he picked up the teacup and touched it with Liu Xiahui, and said with a hearty smile: "Okay, Mr. Liu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

The general direction of cooperation between the two sides has been decided, and the remaining side matters are not at all a problem.

......

A week later.

A piece of news caused a sensation in the catering industry, Haidilao raised 2 billion yuan, and Liu's Group became the largest shareholder of Haidilao.

Yes, the largest shareholder, Haidilao was founded by Mr. Zhang and his wife after all, and now they together occupy 55% of Haidilao's shares, but if they are compared separately, then 45% of the shares of Liu's Group are the largest shareholders deservedly.

This change, the domestic hot pot chain restaurants can't help but sigh, originally Haidilao was already very awesome, and now with the cooperation of Liu's Group, the catering giant, under the strong combination, the lethality is even more terrifying.

At the beginning of the year, Yum Group, which had just wholly acquired the Little Sheep hot pot chain, was also like a big enemy after seeing this news, and the original Yum Group's KFC, Pizza Hut and other brands were almost invincible in China, even if it was McDonald's, it was only barely qualified to be its opponent.

But later, the emergence of Lao Liu fast food, in less than two years, the other party's market share exceeded the market share of KFC and Pizza Hut, so that Yum Group regarded the Liu Group as its biggest competitor.

Now, it has just acquired the Little Sheep hot pot chain and is ready to enter the hot pot field.

However, before the Little Sheep chain hot pot has been upgraded and rectified, there is news that Liu's Group has invested in the Haidilao chain hot pot, which in the eyes of Yum Group, is completely-for-tat, and it is 100% aimed at them.

As a result, Yum Group paid more attention to the acquired Little Sheep hot pot chain, and was ready to increase its investment in Little Sheep, and collide with Haidilao, which was invested by Liu's Group, to see who could have the last laugh.

Liu Xiahui and Mr. Zhang naturally didn't know that the little sheep under Yum Group had regarded Haidilao as the strongest competitor, and were planning to defeat Haidilao in what way, and then dominate the hot pot field!

At this time, under the promotion of Liu Xiahui and Mr. Zhang, Laoliu Catering and Haidilao formally established a strategic partnership relationship, and from then on, Haidilao's ingredients and various seasonings were supplied by Laoliu Catering, and the price was cheaper than Haidilao's own procurement, and the quality was even stronger.

In this way, Haidilao's competitiveness has been improved by at least a few grades, coupled with the two billion capital injection of Liu's Group, the entire Haidilao has ushered in huge development opportunities.

Although the shares have decreased, the net worth of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang is higher.

The most important thing is that Haidilao is still surnamed Zhang, which makes Mr. Zhang and his wife happy.

......

The development of the change pass, except for the confident Liu Xia Hui, and Mr. Ma, who is more or less psychologically prepared, is completely beyond the expectations of others.

In just half a month after its launch, two or three million users have purchased it, with a total purchase capital of more than one billion.

One month after the launch of Coin Pass, the number of purchasing users exceeded 10 million, and the total purchase funds exceeded 10 billion.

Moreover, this data is still growing at a very fast rate, which has shocked countless financial elites, who can't believe their eyes, and feel that the three views have been subverted.

In their eyes, the income of this change pass is pitiful, and they are embarrassed to recommend it to customers, but it is this pitiful income that has attracted tens of millions of users to buy, which is also incredible!

Although on average, the amount of money purchased by each user is not much, but it is only a thousand or hundreds of dollars, but there are many users who can't stand the purchase, and it is hundreds of millions of people!

At this moment, a sentence that is not very appropriate suddenly appeared in the hearts of the financial elites: those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

For a long time, whether it is a bank or a fund company, the wealth management products launched are aimed at high-end customers, and no one cares about the low-level grassroots, which is not to say that they are unwilling to serve these low-level customers, but the cost is not cost-effective.

Think about it, if a bank branch receives thousands of customers every day, and each person deposits and withdraws dozens of dollars, it simply can't support the cost.

However, the change pass launched by WeChat is different, the mobile Internet is characterized by a decreasing cost, the more users, the lower the cost, and even close to zero cost, which allows the change pass to serve these grassroots customers according to the minimum threshold of one dollar.

And now, these grassroots users are proving their power.

In just one month, tens of billions of funds were raised.

And this number is still growing, hundreds of thousands of users open change pass every day, and it is far from the limit!

In the previous life, Alipay launched Yu'e Bao, a financial management artifact, and in just four months, Alipay's new users exceeded 100 million, so you can imagine how awesome this Yu'e Bao is.

Now, driven by Coin Pass, WeChat's registered users and card-bound users have begun a new round of growth.

As soon as this record of change pass came out, the eyes of various fund companies were red with envy.

However, fund companies themselves are unable to do this like Coin Pass, so various fund companies have contacted Internet companies such as Alibaba and Tencent to ask for cooperation.

The entire financial market was surging in an instant, and various Internet companies were originally unable to fight with fund companies, but because of the financial product of Coin Pass, fund companies and Internet companies had a basis for cooperation.

Next, it is foreseeable that a variety of wealth management products similar to Coin Pass will be launched one after another.

As for whether it can shake the status of the pioneer of Coin Pass, it depends on the means of various fund companies and Internet companies!

......

Saturday, June 30, 2012.

Today is the summer vacation time of the Little Fairy Kindergarten, around half past four in the afternoon, Liu Xiahui, who was idle, drove a Mercedes-Benz off-road to the Little Fairy Kindergarten to prepare to pick up the girl from school.

From the villa to the little fairy kindergarten, a total of six traffic lights have to pass, if there is no traffic jam, counting the time to wait for the traffic light about fifteen minutes to arrive.

Because Yanagi Hui set off early, he had plenty of time, so he drove unhurriedly.

My daughter is on vacation this time, and when she arrives in September, she will go to preschool, and at this time next year, kindergarten will also graduate, and time flies really fast!

Liu Xia Hui sighed in his heart, and saw that the red light was already lit in front of him, so he stepped on the brakes and slowly stopped the car.

Before the car had completely stopped, Yanagi Hui heard a loud bang, and then his body slammed uncontrollably into the back of the seat.

Suddenly, Liu Xiahui only felt dizzy, and it took more than ten seconds before he came to his senses.

Looking back at the back seat of the car that had been completely deformed, Liu Xiahui was really shocked and scared, fortunately, he hadn't received his daughter yet, if the girl was also there just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After the fear, a monstrous anger rose from the heart.

Liu Xia Hui directly opened the car door and got out of the car, he wanted to see how the bastard behind him was driving, just the terrifying impact force just now, the speed of the car behind him definitely reached more than one hundred and three per hour.

Soaring at such a high speed at a traffic light intersection is murder!

After getting out of the car, Liu Xiahui saw the vehicle that rear-ended him, it was a Porsche Cayenne that had also been deformed, and a man and a woman got out of the car at this time, both of them had some blood stains on their foreheads, obviously the rear-end collision just now made them not happy.

Originally, Liu Shita Hui was still holding back the anger in his heart, planning to find out the reason why the other party was racing at such a high speed at the traffic light intersection first, and then decide whether to go crazy or not.

As a result, as soon as the person approached, he didn't even say a word, and a strong smell of wine came to his nose.

Drunk driving!

Yanagishita's most hated drunk driving!!

At this moment, Liu Xiahui couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped the female driver in the face.

While smoking, he scolded: "Don't you know that you don't want to drink and drive?

Liu Xiahui's speed was very fast, and after he finished speaking, he had slapped the beautiful driver several times in a row, and the face that looked very good was instantly red and swollen.

"!" It was only at this time that the man reacted, and immediately pounced on Liu Xiahui with his teeth and claws, obviously even if he drank too much, he knew who his own people were.

Although it wasn't the man's driver, Yanagishita Hui didn't have a good impression of him, and if he stood there honestly, it would be difficult to find fault with him, after all, he was just a passenger and not a driver.

But since the other party plans to do it with himself, there is nothing to say.

So, without saying a word, Liu Xia Hui kicked over and directly kicked the man to the ground.

Although Liu Xia Hui has not practiced any martial arts, he has insisted on exercising for many years, and it is not difficult to deal with a young man who is already seven or eight points drunk.

This powerful kick directly kicked the man to the ground and vomited.

For a while, the wine was soaring!

These are long stories, in fact, from the collision, to the two sides getting out of the car, and then Liu Xia Hui hit people in a frenzy, but in just a few tens of seconds, at this time, passers-by and some nearby car owners have come over to watch.

Liu Xiahui's scolding when he hit someone just now, almost everyone nearby heard it, and the situation at the scene was also clear at a glance, it was nothing more than the driver of the car behind him who was drunk driving, and then hit the car in front.

Even those who came closer could already smell the sky-high smell of wine.

"If you fight well, drunk driving hurts people, this kind of person should be killed!"

"There are so many car accidents in my country every day, at least nine out of ten times are because of drunk driving, and every time the scene of the car accident is shocking, but there are always people who drink and drive with a fluke mentality, which is really harmful to others and themselves!"

"Fortunately, there was no one in the back seat of the car in front, otherwise there would have been a death in nine out of ten if there was such a collision just now, which is really a blessing in misfortune!"

“......”

In the midst of everyone's discussions, the female driver, who was slapped several times by Liu Xiahui and was almost stunned, finally reacted, and immediately screamed hysterically and scolded: "Fuck you, you dare to hit me, why didn't you kill you bastard just now!"

After Liu Xiahui beat someone, his anger had subsided a little, and he was going to call someone to come over to deal with the accident, and he had to call his wife to pick up his daughter.

But the female driver's words angered Liu Xia Hui again, he didn't drink before, even if he drank too much, he actually knew in his heart what he had done.

But this car accident, in the eyes of this female driver, is it a big deal to lose money, how big is it?

Now that she's been beaten, it's a big deal when the sky falls!

It was precisely because of her attitude that Liu Xiahui was angry again, and without saying a word, he slapped her several times in a row, making her scream.

At first, she was still unconvinced, scolding and calling for help from her companions, and pounced on her to beat Liu Xiahui.

But her companion was still lying there vomiting wildly, and where was she Yanashita's opponent? Even when she was sober, she was far behind, not to mention that she had drunk too much now!

After being slapped a dozen times by the left and right bows, the female driver finally stopped.

Now her face is swollen half a day high, even if her parents come, I am afraid that she will not be able to recognize who it is.

"Well played, let her be so arrogant in drunk driving!"

"If you don't repent after all this, this kind of person will have an accident sooner or later!"

"Dude, you can't be as knowledgeable as this kind of person, so let's call the traffic police to deal with it!"

"I understand my buddy's feelings, mainly because my country's punishment for drunk driving is too light, if you are shot twice for drunk driving like Bulgaria, I don't think so many people will dare to drink and drive!"

“......”

After Liu Shita Hui swollen both sides of the female driver's face, he finally vented his anger almost completely, so he took out his mobile phone and started calling.

And the female driver may have been beaten hard, and her brain was a lot clearer, and after seeing that Liu Xiahui no longer paid attention to her, she quickly took out her mobile phone and began to call for rescuers.

Three minutes later, the traffic police arrived first.

Five minutes later, the police from the police station also arrived.

The responsibility at the scene is too obvious, and the blind can see which party is fully responsible, so the traffic police basically just go through the motions, take photos and then tow the car away, and then issue an accident responsibility letter is basically done.

As for trivial things like deductions and fines, it's not worth mentioning!

The three policemen from the police station came over and saw the crash at the scene, and they all understood Liu Xiahui's mood very well, but it was wrong to beat people after all, so there should still be a verbal warning.

The female driver was not satisfied with the verbal warnings of the policemen, and shouted: "Comrade policeman, I am going to the hospital to check my injuries now, I feel that I am seriously injured, I must sue him, I will let him sit in prison!"
