Chapter Seventy-Six: Meeting Chen Zhengchang

Li Xuelan contacted Chen Zhengchang, the owner of Panda Fast Restaurant, for two days and agreed to meet him at 9 a.m. on May 5.

Li Guangyu learned through the information that Chen Zhengchang is a native of Baodao and has been running a fast food restaurant for almost ten years, but he has not developed aggressively, and there are only a few fast food restaurants in California.

Because Chen Zhengchang was in San Francisco, Li Guangyu rushed to San Francisco with Li Xuelan on the afternoon of the 4th, accompanied by Du Yonghong and others.

The next morning, Li Guangyu came to the office of Jufengyuan Company, the reason why it is Jufengyuan, because in the past, Panda Fast Restaurant and Jufengyuan Restaurant belonged to Chen Zhengchang.

Li Guangyu and Li Xuelan walked into Jufengyuan Catering Company, and the administrative staff at the front desk asked, "Sir, Madam, do you have anything to do?"

Li Xuelan said to him: "We have made an appointment with your chairman to meet at nine o'clock. ”

The executive said: "You are Mr. Li Guangyu and Ms. Li Xuelan, our chairman has already explained to us, please come with me, I will lead you to the chairman's office." ”

Li Guangyu met the founder of Panda Fast Restaurant in his office, who is currently about 30 years old, and now is in the prime of life.

"Mr. Li, Miss Li, welcome to you. Chen Zhengchang said.

At the same time, Chen Zhengchang said to the administrator: "Xiaomei, you go and bring a pot of tea to the two guests." ”

Li Guangyu said: "Chairman Chen, thank you for meeting with us. ”

"Mr. Li is polite, I don't know what Mr. Li is visiting for so-called?" Chen Chen Zhengchang really didn't know what Li Guangyu was talking about when he came to visit him.

Yesterday, I received that Li Xuelan contacted me that Li Guangyu wanted to visit her, and she also specially checked the news about Li Guangyu. He admires Li Guangyu very much, even if he is now, he can't be as successful as Li Guangyu, not to mention that Li Guangyu is not yet eighteen years old.

Li Guangyu said: "Chairman Chen, the reason why I visited you today is because I had a meal at your panda fast food restaurant in Los Angeles a few days ago, and I wanted to communicate with you a little bit. ”

Chen Zhengchang was puzzled by this, as far as he knew, Li Guangyu was not currently involved in the restaurant business, and his own subsidiary was not associated with it. Thinking about Li Guangyu's expansion pace for more than a year, is Li Guangyu ready to enter the catering industry.

"Mr. Li, please have any thoughts. Chen Zhengchang said.

At this time, remembering the knock on the door, Chen Zhengchang said, "Please come in." ”

I saw the administrative staff just now walking in with tea, pouring a cup of tea for a few people and retreating.

Li Guangyu said: "Chairman Chen, I feel that your restaurant is doing well, but whether the number is too scarce at present, there are only a few in California at present. ”

"Mr. Li, we have not been expanding in a big way because of the company's financial problems and the company's strategy of seeking stability, and I think we will gradually expand the number of our restaurants in the future. Chen Zhengchang replied.

Li Guangyu and Li Xuelan investigated the situation in Jufengyuan, and they were still clear about Chen Zhengchang's company.

"So Chairman Chen, do you have any plans to bring in foreign funds at present?" asked Li Guangyu.

Chen Zhengchang didn't say anything when he heard Li Guangyu, and he knew that Li Guangyu had fallen in love with Jufengyuan Company, but this was his own hard work for many years, and he had no intention of letting it out.

"Mr. Li, I have no plans to introduce foreign funds at present, and my company's current profit is enough to support the company's development. ”

Li Guangyu was not disappointed in it, no one wanted to casually let others buy shares in the company he had been running for many years, and he was also worried about whether he could keep his controlling stake in the company.

Li Guangyu said: "Chairman Chen, we all know that your competitors KFC and McDonald's are rapidly expanding to the United States, and it is difficult to support such expansion with your company's profits, right?"

Of course Chen Zhengchang knows what Li Guangyu said, but even so, it is not a reason for Li Guangyu to become the owner of Jufengyuan, you must know that if you expand like KFC, the invested funds will definitely not be able to maintain your controlling stake in the company.

"Li Sheng, I think the current development of my Jufengyuan is okay, and it does not need to expand rapidly in the US states like KFC. Chen Zhengchang replied.

Li Guangyu saw that he was unmoved, and he also felt a little tricky, if Chen Zhengchang held the company's slow profit to support development, Li Guangyu would have no way to start.

At this time, Li Xuelan said beside her: "Chairman Chen, I know that you are worried that after the introduction of Li Sheng's funds, you are afraid of losing control of the company. On this issue, I don't think you need to worry too much, Li Sheng has a lot of companies, and he doesn't have that much energy to manage a catering company. ”

After listening to Li Xuemei's words, Chen Zhengchang still did not agree to Li Guangyu's request to buy shares. Because even if Li Guangyu lets himself manage this company now, who knows what will happen in the future, this company is still in his own hands to feel at ease.

Chen Zhengchang said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your concern about our company, but at present, our company does not plan to introduce foreign funds. If our company has such a plan in the future, we must inform Mr. Li first. ”

When Li Guangyu heard Chen Zhengchang say this, he knew that today's coming here had failed.

Li Guangyu said: "Chairman Chen, you can think about it, I will be in the United States this month, if you are willing to bring in funds, you can contact me at any time." ”

Chen Zhengchang said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will think more about this." ”

Li Guangyu knew that this was Chen Zhengchang's prevarication, so he said to him: "Chairman Chen, then we won't bother you." ”

After Li Guangyu and Chen Zhengchang said goodbye, they left Jufengyuan Company with Li Xuelan.

After returning to the car, Li Xuelan said: "Li Sheng, depending on the situation, Chen Zhengchang does not want us to join his company, what should we do next." ”

"It seems that Chen Zhengchang and our Chinese family are similar, and they are not willing to let others control their family business, and there is nothing to be disappointed in this. It's me, and I don't want to. Isn't it true that I also have my own company firmly in my own hands?" said Mr. Lee.

Li Xuelan is also clear about the affairs of the major families in Xiangjiang, and the Chinese are relieved to take control of this kind of enterprise that they have developed by themselves. Li Guangyu's several groups can obviously be listed, but Li Guangyu just doesn't want to.

Li Xuelan said: "Then Li Sheng, what should we do next?"

"Ignore it for the time being, we will go to Los Angeles first, and then prepare to go to Santa Clara City to see how Tianfan is preparing. Li Guangyu said.

As for the catering industry, Li Guangyu is not too anxious now, that is, he is eating at the panda fast restaurant to see if he can buy shares, so that he can enter the catering industry with this, since it can't work, then this matter will be talked about later. Li Guangyu has so many things in the company now, and he doesn't have time to get a catering company in person.
