Chapter 41 It's too lonely at home, let's get a dog
It wasn't until this moment that Todd and the others, who were difficult to make up their minds, finally understood that Fernandez, the bastard, had already planned everything, and here the old god was waiting for his people to take the bait, and his own people were really stupidly hooked.
However, it's one thing to see that it's one thing, what else can I do?
Looking at these tangled guys, Chen Geng smiled secretly, but his face was serious: "I know this decision is not easy to make, it doesn't matter, you don't have to worry, just notify me within a week, and no matter whether we can reach a cooperation or not, we are all friends." β
Hehe...... It's strange that I believe in you!
For Chen Geng's words, Todd and the others all had a strong desire to put up the middle finger.
"Guys, let me make a suggestion," coming out of Chen Geng's office, James took the lead and said: "Since Fernandez thought of uniting several companies to occupy the market together, why can't we join forces and have better cooperation conditions with Fernandez?"
Hmm? Can it be like this? Along with the doubts in my heart, there are flashing eyes of several second-hand car dealers.
There's a play!
Seeing everyone's flickering eyes, James smiled: "What do you think in everyone's hearts, I don't need to say more, right? And Fernandez's proposal has been proposed for such a long time, but only a few of us are interested, doesn't this mean that it is very clear?"
Guys, we're the only partners FernΓ‘ndez have, and if we join forces, Fernandez will have to give us better terms, who has any doubts about that?"
No one has any doubts!
Todd immediately said, "Then what are we hesitating about? Why don't we find a place to have a drink together and talk while drinking?"
..............................
After washing away the exhaustion, Chen Geng yawned, stretched his waist and was about to walk into the bedroom, when the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
"Hey?" Picking up the phone, Chen Geng asked casually, "I'm Fernandez, who are you?"
"I'm Todd. β
"Todd?" the corners of Chen Geng's mouth raised slightly at a slight angle: Can you not help it so soon......? Hello, it's so late, what's the matter with you?"
After a few seconds of silence, Todd whispered, "I'm downstairs from your house right now, and there's something I want to talk to you about." β
"Oh, of course, you wait. β
........................
After coming up, Todd was very surprised that Fernandez actually lived in such a small apartment: "It's too small! Fernandez, you are so rich, why do you still live in such a small house?"
Chen Geng said with a smile: "What am I doing living in a big house alone, and this house is the property left to me by my parents, which is very meaningful to me." β
"That's right," Todd nodded, "That being said, you're a millionaire now, so it's better to get a decent big house, which will not only be good for your future social interactions, but also show off your wealth, and most importantly, safety." β
To say that Americans don't care about such things as houses and cars is a group of people who don't understand the national conditions of the United States at all!
Which American millionaire do you see still living in a house (a single-family house very close to each other) or a townhouse (townhouse)? Their housing starts as a large villa with a garden and a swimming pool of more than 3,000 square meters, and as for the multimillionaires and even richer, they either live in large high-end apartments in the center of the city (President Trump's) or in manor-style megavilla complexes.
This is their way of showing their wealth and status, and it is also a kind of investment, saying that Americans don't care about houses and cars, not to mention Bill Gates, you just pull a multimillionaire out, don't let him live in that kind of commercial house, let him live in the kind of villa that multimillionaires like to live in the most and cost 100,000 dollars, do you see if he can do it?
Todd is telling the truth, since you have so much wealth, you should have a house that matches your identity.
In fact, there is more than one person who has suggested that Chen Geng change his house, and Chen Geng said that the most diligent is the guy White, in Ji Shengcheng's opinion, Chen Geng opened such a profitable company, made so much money in a month, and lived in such a narrow apartment is simply a crime against himself, he should buy a good house, it must be the kind with a swimming pool and garden, considering that the business will be bigger in the future, the kind with a helipad can also be considered.
Of course, Chen Geng has also considered this problem, there is no doubt that the house must have been bought, and it must be the kind of huge and luxurious mansion, which belongs to the kind that can calm people from the country at a glance, but it is definitely not now.
"Thank you," Chen Geng smiled and said, "I will definitely change the house in the future, but not now, after a while, and if you live in a house that is too big, the feeling of being empty is not good, it is like living in a haunted house." β
Thinking of the two-story villa in my house, if you live in it alone, it really feels like living in a haunted house, and it is indeed not as comfortable as this small house in Fernandez. Todd nodded in agreement: "It's true, but it doesn't matter, it's good to have two women in the house, anyway, you are so rich, and you are worried about not having a woman? β
In the current American society, ****, sex @ revolution is the trend of society, as long as Chen Geng is willing to pay, sex and women are not a problem at all, more women want to climb into Chen Geng's bed, and it is not a problem to change women who are not the same every day.
Chen Geng waved his hand: "That's a stallion, not love...... Don't talk about that, Todd, you didn't come to me so late to introduce me to women, did you?"
Of course, Todd didn't come to pull @ pimp for Chen Geng, and with Chen Geng's words, he took the opportunity to explain his purpose: "Of course not...... Fernandez, if I choose to be your partner, how much more money can I make in a year than I do now?"
He was moved by the two plans given by Chen Geng during the day, but he was still a little bottomless.
Chen Geng is good at dealing with this kind of problem, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I said how much more you can earn, you must not believe it, so let's do it, I can give you a promise, from the beginning of our formal cooperation in the next year, if you can't earn 40% more than the previous 12 months, I will make up for the shortcomings." β
Earn 40% more than in the past 12 months? Todd's eyes suddenly lit up, he stared at Chen Geng, and said urgently: "If I can't earn so much, will you really make it up to me?" Do you dare to write this into the cooperation agreement?"
Chen Geng smiled: "Of course ......"
"Okay!" Todd slapped the table hard and stood up suddenly: "As long as you dare to write this promise in the cooperation agreement, I will be the first to sign a contract with you!"
Chen Geng smiled: "Thank you, but you are not the first." β
"I'm not the first?" Hearing Chen Geng's words, Todd was stunned for a moment: I wasn't the first?
"Well, I can't tell you who it is," Chen Geng responded, and when he saw that Todd was about to ask, Chen Geng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's one of you who drinks together." β
Well, Fernandez even knew about a few of his second-hand car dealers drinking together, and he originally doubted whether Fernandez was bluffing his Todd, and he no longer had any doubts about the fact that someone was in front of him, so he was left with frustration and anger: Nima! A group of untrustworthy guys have said it all when they are drinking......
Todd, who was extremely resentful in his heart, obviously forgot, and he didn't seem to keep his promises.
But now is not the time to dwell on the problem of water not keeping his promises, there is a more important question waiting for him: "Fernandez, if you become your partner, how many shares do you want?"
β40%γ β
"40%?!" Although Chen Geng had said before that he would not seek absolute control, the 40% shareholding requirement still made Todd very painful: "This is too much......"
"40% just means that Fernandez can get 40% dividends in your company, but I said before that Fernandez is not involved in the daily operation and management of the company, and I can also guarantee that you will earn 40% more in the next 12 months than in the past 12 months, if you are not satisfied, you are insatiable, right?
Of course, supervisors must be stationed and I have to make sure that the partners are not uncompromising on the implementation of the rules and regulations of Fernandez. β
Todd was speechless about Chen Geng's statement: Indeed, if he holds 60% of the shares, he can still earn 40% more than last year, and it is indeed a bit insatiable to ask for more. It's just that......
Do not participate in the operation and management of the enterprise, but only share 40% of the dividend at the end of the year?
After all, the company's store should be designed by Fernandez to achieve a unified image, a unified sales strategy, a unified quality assurance and after-sales service,...... These are all according to your requirements, how much difference does it make if you participate in the management of the enterprise or not?
Todd wasn't stupid, he scratched his head: "How do I think you're building a KFC or McDonald's?"
Chen Geng laughed, and he didn't shy away from saying this: "Ha...... You're right, I do have the idea of creating a KFC or McDonald's in the used car space. β
Although the second-hand car industry has the characteristics of the second-hand car industry, it is impossible to be like KFC, all noodle shops need to use semi-finished ingredients distributed by the head office, but in terms of store image design, service process, food processing process, etc., you can refer to these chain fast food restaurants, saying that Chen Geng's purpose is to prepare to build a "KFC" in the second-hand car industry, which is not wrong. As for why there are still supervisors, isn't it necessary to explore some means in the early stage, and the second-hand car industry and the fast food industry are different after all.
Todd was still a little unconvinced, and he smacked his lips: "You're not afraid that I'll do things about the price?"
"Then you do it," Chen Geng looked at Todd like a fool: "I'm also a second-hand car dealer, okay? Your car also has to go through my side, a second-hand car of what year and what condition, what is the purchase price of the market, do you think my side will be unclear?"
Todd smiled bitterly: "It seems that the question I just had was really stupid. β
Chen Geng didn't speak, but his expression said it all: You also know that the question you just asked was stupid?
Also, since Fernandez plans to do a "chain of fast food" in the second-hand car industry, how could he not think of such a simple problem, even if there were too many problems to be solved in the early days of this "chain of fast food", but ...... The price of a car is only a few tens or hundreds of dollars off slightly, and if the deviation is too much, it is no longer that Fernandez is a fool, but that he is a fool. Taking a deep breath, Todd looked at Chen Geng and said, "I agreed." β
"Huh?"
"Since you promised me that I could make more money, then why didn't I agree? I can open a branch again in the future anyway," and Todd saw that there was no money at all, "but...... FernΓ‘ndez, since you don't want to bring a woman back to your home, then I suggest you get a dog, to be honest, your home is a bit deserted. β
Chen Geng, who didn't think anything about it, suddenly felt that Todd's words made some sense: Also, the family is a little deserted, and it's good to have a dog, so what is enough to raise a dog?
His train of thought couldn't help but be skewed.
ββββββββββββββββ
When three used car sales companies in Detroit removed their original signboards and replaced them with signs designed by Fernandez, and their employees also changed into uniform uniforms;
When two used car sales companies replaced with new customized new signboards with conspicuous "Fernandez Company Certified, Promise Used Cars" logo, Detroit's used car industry was not even shocked, and some people were secretly laughing at these five guys who worked with Fernandez as stupid, they didn't realize that in fact, from this moment on, Detroit and even the entire used car industry in the United States were subverted.
And what is Chen Geng, who has initially realized the first step plan, doing?
He wasn't doing anything, he was pestering White, who had brought the proof of ownership of his apartment, to be exact.
"What is this for?" Looking at White, Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "I remember that I haven't repaid this loan yet, right?"

PS: It's late, but for everyone's sake, for the sake of the small 4000-word big chapter (why am I so weak when I say the word "big chapter"?), don't scold, right?
