Chapter 145: Zhou Zhengqing's sniping
On the morning of August 10, the sun was shining at the Qiushui Hotel in Rongcheng.
Zhou Xuan, Sister Yu, Zhai Xinyu, Deng Cheng, Mai Zhuo, Wang Ximing, and Deng Cheng gathered together to witness the signing ceremony of Sister Yu's investment of 20 million yuan to obtain 20% of the shares of Huanyu Zhilian Management Co., Ltd. and officially join the Huanyu family. At the same time, in order to cope with the pressure of Zhou Zhengqing Zhengfei Technology, Zhou Xuan, Deng Cheng, and Sister Yu continued to invest 50 million yuan respectively in proportion to support the national expansion of the Huanyu Internet café chain.
In this way, coupled with the loan of 50 million yuan to be obtained from the provincial commercial bank, the Huanyu Internet café chain will have 100 million funds for expansion, and the funds for the next half year can be said to be very sufficient. According to Zhou Xuan's plan, with the opening of Internet cafes, this 100 million yuan can open 100 large Internet cafes one after another.
And by the end of the year, the Internet cafes that have been opened one after another will slowly return to their original costs. In this way, the financial pressure on the expansion of Internet cafes will be rapidly reduced.
It was also from this day that the expansion of the global chain of Internet cafes entered the fast lane. Zhou Zhengqing's Zhengfei Technology is still forming a team, and in the field inspection stage, it can be said that it is a big step behind the Huanyu Internet café chain.
It was also this signing that allowed Zhou Xuan and the Jiang family, the Mai family, and the Zhai family to form a community of interests, and in the days to come, the three escorted Zhou Xuan's industry more than once, allowing the Huanyu Group to develop and grow rapidly.
In the imperial capital, thousands of miles away, Kang Zi'an and his entourage are discussing the matter of shares with Wang Zhidong, the president of Xinlang in the future.
When Wang Zhidong saw Kang Zi'an's three Xiangjiang elites, he couldn't help but think that the person who cut off his own Xinlang domain name and invested 3.5 million US dollars in Xinlang was a Xiangjiang person.
Kang Zi'an saw Wang Zhidong's doubts and conjectures, but he didn't break it. In a friendly atmosphere, Kang Zi'an paid $3.5 million and a full set of domain names in the name of Yixuan Investment to obtain a 5% stake in Future Xinlang.
Just when it was close to eleven forty p.m., Zhou Xuan received the good news.
Seeing Zhou Xuan put down the phone and the smile on the corner of his mouth, Mai Zhuo next to him asked with a smile: "Zhou Xuan, what is the good news, see if you are so happy?"
Mai Zhuo's question made Sister Yu, Jiang Yun and several other people next to him also look over, and looked at Zhou Xuan with anticipation.
Zhou Xuan laughed and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that I got 5% of the shares of a company." ”
"It's only five percent......" Hearing that it was only five percent, Deng Cheng said with a little disdain.
"But even that 5 percent of the shares cost me $3.5 million. ”
As soon as Zhou Xuan finished speaking, the tea in Deng Cheng's mouth almost squirted out, only to see him look at Zhou Xuan with wide eyes, and asked very incredulously.
"Zhou Xuan, are you talking about dollars?"
Zhou Xuan nodded: "That's right." ”
Hearing Zhou Xuan's affirmative answer, everyone looked at Zhou Xuan with a little surprise, not knowing what company was actually worth Zhou Xuan spending so much money to only get five percent of the shares.
Just when Zhou Xuan was chatting happily with everyone, Manager Chen of Huanyu Zhilian Company, located in Huhai, was in trouble.
I saw him look at the two stacks of money in front of him in surprise and asked in disbelief.
"What did you say? Both of them broke the contract!"
Just opposite him, a sweaty employee said with great certainty: "Manager Chen, the liquidated damages are here, isn't this an obvious thing?"
Manager Chen looked at the two stacks of money, and knew that it was 100,000 yuan without counting. And this 100,000 yuan is just the liquidated damages paid to them by the owners of the two stores, 50,000 yuan for each family.
You must know that the rent of each store is only 4,000 yuan a month, and it is only 48,000 yuan a year. Since the last meeting, they said that in order to prevent the lessor from repenting, they have increased the liquidated damages to 50,000 yuan. This has been almost a year's rent, and there are still people who regret not renting the façade to Huanyu.
At this moment, another colleague hurriedly ran in again, also holding a step of money in his hand, no more, no less, just 50,000.
Manager Chen immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, and sure enough, this colleague's words also confirmed the guess in his heart.
"Manager Chen, the owner of the façade next to Fudan University repented and refused to sign the contract. I originally wanted to talk about liquidated damages, but I knew that he gave me 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages at once. ”
Hearing this, Manager Chen already knew what was going on, and it must have been Zhengfei Technology's side to make a move.
"You guys go out first, and immediately summarize which lessors have repented, and then report back to me as soon as possible. Waving his hand to let them go out first, Manager Chen dialed the phone number of the Weilian.
"Hey, Mr. Wei, the people from Zhengfei Technology have made a move. Now they're snatching the façade from the lessors we've signed up for at a higher price. ”
"Didn't you be instructed to set a high amount of liquidated damages when you signed the intention?"
"We have set liquidated damages, for example, the annual rent is only more than 40,000 yuan, and the liquidated damages have reached 50,000 yuan. But the people of Zhengfei Technology were too ruthless, and they actually paid the liquidated damages. ”
"Uh...... In this case, those who have already defaulted do not care. You implement other facades as soon as possible, and if you can rent directly, you will directly sign the lease contract, and if you can't sign directly, you will increase the liquidated damages to 200,000. There is also to send people to pay attention to the situation of Zhengfei Technology and report it at any time. ”
"Okay, I'll speed up the process immediately. ”
Weilian put down the phone, and then immediately talked to Zhou Changxing on the phone, and also learned about the situation in Yangcheng.
Since Zhou Changxing came to Huanyu Zhilian to be responsible for the promotion of chain Internet cafes, he flew directly to Yangcheng to be responsible for the construction of Internet cafes around Yangcheng and Pengcheng, and has rented 20 stores so far, ready to complete the decoration at the end of September and start business in October.
As expected, Yangcheng also encountered the situation in Shanghai, and several stores that had been negotiated regretted it. By 3 p.m., according to reports from all over the country, about thirty stores had already rejected the previous rental price.
The facades that can be rented in advance by the Weilian are, of course, some of the facades with better locations. Now it is so stirred up by Zhengfei Technology, although it has received some liquidated damages, it will definitely have a large part of the impact on future revenue.
There are so many good positions, and if you occupy me, I won't have them. If I rent a storefront next to you and open an Internet café, I will fight you in the ring. It could only be a diversion of customers, and the end result could only be a lose-lose situation.
I didn't expect Zhou Zhengqing to have such great courage and pay so many liquidated damages, just to snipe at their Huanyu chain Internet café. On the one hand, it slowed down the expansion rate of the world, and on the other hand, it put a lot of financial pressure on the world.
Thinking of this, Weilian immediately made a call to Zhou Xuan and reported the situation on Zhou Zhengqing's side.
"Did Zhou Zhengqing's side finally start to act?" Hearing the report of the Wei Federation, Zhou Xuan was not much surprised, but he didn't expect Zhou Zhengqing to be so arrogant and willing to spend so much money to fight with him.
The liquidated damages of 50,000 yuan are enough to rent an extra store in the central and western cities, and the lease period is more than one year. It is possible to rent a remote place for two years, Zhou Zhengqing simply doesn't take money as money.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan still decided to pay attention to this situation and have a comprehensive understanding of the specific situation of Zhou Zhengqing's chain Internet café. Then make decisions to enhance the soft and hard power of the global Internet café.
