Chapter Eighty-Nine: You're Worth a Million
Zhou Huchen's hand that was about to take the teacup suddenly stopped, raised his head, and carefully looked at Lu Yuan's face.
Inject capital into the court?
Lu Yuan's words just now made Zhou Huchen couldn't help but feel a little shocked, even if Lu Yuan asked himself to borrow millions, he could probably understand and even accept it.
But the injection?
It's not the same as borrowing money privately.
Zhou Huchen also has his own estimate of Man Tingfang, such a model, in a short period of time, even if others want to plagiarize, it is difficult, it can be said that it is a profitable existence with a very stable cash flow, Lu Yuan is willing to let himself inject capital?
Seeing Zhou Huchen's expression and puzzled gaze, Lu Yuan smiled.
"Uncle Zhou, if you just want to open a bubble tea shop elsewhere, to be honest, the funds in my hands are enough, but you also understand that a model like Man Tingfang, although others can't replicate it in a short period of time, but after a long time, it will inevitably flood and seize my market, in this case, it is better for me to make it absolutely by myself!"
Zhou Huchen said with some hesitation: "Do you want to spread it in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in a short period of time?"
He shook his head and said lightly: "How can it be so easy, you have enough talent reserves in your hands? Can you do market research in so many cities in a short period of time?"
Zhou Huchen suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's thinking was too simple, and he took too many steps, and it was easy to pull eggs.
Although he didn't say this sentence, it was already reflected in his eyes.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "So do the franchise model!"
Franchise model?
A smile appeared on Zhou Huchen's face and looked at Lu Yuan.
"It's a lot of money to be a franchise store, and the money comes quickly, but just with Man Tingfang's current fame, how many people do you think will be willing to join, or how much money are they willing to spend to do it?"
"So next I will make a flagship brand in Hangzhou!"
For Zhou Huchen's gaze, Lu Yuan did not avoid it in the slightest, and was as sharp as before.
Zhou Huchen was a little stunned, his eyes were a little erratic, he felt the confidence he had when he first saw him in the office from Lu Yuan's gaze, maybe this is the confidence and confidence of young people, as long as he identifies it, he will do his best to do it, even if he fails, he has a chance to come again.
Exhaling lightly, he didn't persuade Lu Yuan to go slower and more steady, but said directly: "How do you plan to let Xindu Group inject capital?"
In the year 2002, China's domestic angel investment had not yet risen, and although there were already venture capital giants such as Softbank Sequoia abroad, the rich people in China were not yet aware of this big gold mine.
Lu Yuan coughed lightly, pressed his hands on the table, looked at Zhou Huchen, and said, "How much does Uncle Zhou think Man Tingfang is worth?"
When Zhou Huchen heard this, he lowered his head and lit a cigarette, with a smile on his face.
"Are you sure I'll answer that question?
"Hey......
Lu Yuan said with a cheeky smile, "I have to let Uncle Zhou have a rough estimate first, so I can continue to speak, if the lion directly opens his mouth and scares you away, I will be dumbfounded!"
"You kid!"
Zhou Huchen almost laughed angrily, landed on Lu Yuan with his fingers, shook his head silently, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
To tell the truth, it is really not easy to value a company, especially Man Tingfang, who has almost no fixed assets, and even the stores are Xindu Group's own, but Man Tingfang's profit model is determined at this time, but the validity period does not know how long.
This kind of thing should have been handed over to a professional company to do, but Zhou Huchen obviously didn't want to be so troublesome.
Lu Yuan just looked at the teapot quietly, his face was very calm, and he didn't seem to be worried about how much Zhou Huchen would give Man Tingfang in the end.
In fact, with Zhou Huchen's net worth, it has no impact at all to estimate Man Tingfang by hundreds of thousands more and hundreds of thousands less, but this is against his original intention, he is willing to support this young man he admires on a fair basis, but it is definitely not a gift or charity.
He believed that Lu Yuan would not be willing to do this himself.
"Two million!"
After being silent for a long time, Zhou Huchen finally raised his head and said a number to Lu Yuan.
At this time, it was Lu Yuan's turn to be stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Huchen to report such a high number, although Man Tingfang's turnover on the opening day of Xindu Shopping Mall reached fifteen thousand, but in fact, it had dropped to five or six thousand per day, so that the monthly turnover was less than 200,000, deducting costs and employees' salaries, there was only a profit of more than 100,000 yuan.
And it can be expected that in the next few months, without waiting for half a year, similar bubble tea shops will appear in Jidong to seize the market of Man Tingfang, and the profit will be further reduced, and the data of two or three thousand per day may stabilize.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's own estimate of the value of Man Tingfang is almost about one million, which is still based on the premise that competitors will not spend money on price wars at that time.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Huchen directly doubled it!
Seeing Lu Yuan's expression, Zhou Huchen finally couldn't help laughing, fortunately, there were not many people in the café in the afternoon, otherwise Zhou Huchen had just shown his face at the opening ceremony of Xindu Shopping Mall the day before yesterday, and he might have been recognized by others.
"Isn't it strange that I quoted such a high price?"
Lu Yuan's face became a little serious, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I know that Uncle Zhou admires me very much, but I also believe that business belongs to business, and others belong to others, you can't send me money for nothing!"
Zhou Huchen's eyes revealed a hint of approval, and he nodded: "You can understand this, it means that you are mature enough, although you are a little radical in some aspects, but you have an excellent character, not greedy!"
It is not easy to estimate Man Tingfang's value very specifically, but if you want an approximate figure, it is actually not difficult, it is similar to Lu Yuan's own estimate, which is only 800,000 to more than 1 million, which is something other than risk.
And he overquoted the price by a million.
The figure of one million, not to mention that Lu Yuan is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, even if it is put on those other businessmen, it is estimated that it will be difficult to control, and he will be ecstatic.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is already an asset that is rich enough to live a lifetime.
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to be greedy, they all say that there is no father and son in the mall, I am afraid that if I am greedy for this million, I will be sold by you!"
Zhou Huchen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Man Tingfang is almost worth a million, and the other is because I think you are worth it!"
Zhou Huchen's voice was very soft, but when it fell into Lu Yuan's ears, it was like a thunderbolt.
