79 Partnership
"Chen Cong, let's talk." In the second half of the free activity, Zou Zhanye grabbed Chen Cong, found a small open-air pavilion outside the restaurant, and sat down.
At the end of June, it is not yet the real summer, especially at night in the mountains, and the temperature is still quite low. Chen Cong was wearing a thin long-sleeved T-shirt and felt slightly cold.
There is a quaint palace lamp hanging at each corner of the small pavilion, the flickering soft light, accompanied by the sound of insects in the mountains one after another, but there is a sense of tranquility.
followed by Sun Zhengwei and Liu Hongyuan. Sun Zhengwei just came to Nanjing, and recently he has basically consciously played the role of Zou Zhanye's little follower, following Zou Zhanye everywhere to eat and drink. In his bones, he is naturally aimed at Zou Zhanye and even Zou Zhaolong's connections. What's more, Chen Cong has a relationship with his classmates at this time, and it is reasonable to come over and chat together. Liu Hongyuan had sharp ears, and when he heard a few simple conversations between Chen Cong and Zou Zhanye at the table, Chen Cong revealed that he was interested in opening a restaurant, so he made up his mind to follow and take a look.
"You kid, why are you following us, don't you want to talk to people in the real estate circle and pat Xu Jianbo's horses?" Sun Zhengwei joked with a smile.
Sun Zhengwei glanced twice and swept around, but there was no one: "Hey, there is a generation gap, I can't talk about it." In the past, you could only pretend to be a turtle grandson, which was boring. Anyway, my uncle greeted him well, and it would be better to pat his horse more when he was doing things. ”
"Haha. I'll just say that your sanitary napkins sell well, what are you doing here? This line of business is all about favors, and I just drink and socialize all day long, and I'm tired. Don't look at my dad and Xu Jianbo are acquainted, when it comes to asking for money, if you don't drink until you lie down, people won't care about you. Zou Zhanye shook his head.
"You think I'm willing, I don't care if the sanitary napkin thing doesn't sound good, as long as you make money. But this line of work can't be done for long, and now the living conditions are getting better and better, and this thing is all about brands. Copycats like me are becoming more and more unmarketable. Last year, there were already a few big supermarkets that didn't take goods from me. Now I can only sell it to some poor areas, and I will definitely do it year after year. And now the investigation is getting stricter and stricter, and if you continue to do it, don't put yourself in it one day. Sun Zhengwei sighed.
"You've been making copycats? Fake? Chen Cong was taken aback, looked at Sun Zhengwei and asked in surprise.
"Or what do you think? Create your own brand? You go to talk to Procter & Gamble, Kao or something, I have a big head? People throw hundreds of millions of advertising dollars a year into it without blinking an eye. Sun Zhengwei pursed his lips with disdain and said as a matter of course.
Chen Cong couldn't help but admire Sun Zhengwei, he started his business after graduating from high school, and now it has been almost seven years, making fakes to make millions of profits a year. Moral things aside, this guy is really a bit capable. Even if you look at the relationship between him and Zou Zhaolong, you know that the family conditions are definitely not bad, and you can't be considered self-made, but at least the vision must be very poisonous.
"Okay, okay, don't mention your torn sanitary napkin." Zou Zhanye shook his head impatiently, and turned to Chen Cong and said, "Chen Cong, you just said that you are interested in opening a hotel?" ”
"yes, isn't that weird? Now that the catering industry is so prosperous, it's not surprising that you want to open a restaurant. Don't talk about me first, you talk about yourself first, what are you making such a fuss about? As for it, Nanjing is so big, I'm afraid I'll rob your business. Chen Cong said.
"Of course not, then my dad's shop, I can't be his master, and I can't his heart." Zou Zhanye's face flushed, and he twisted for a long time before he said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I also want to open a store, but I don't have so much money, and I don't feel like I can let go of that face when I open a small shop." ”
Chen Cong looked at Zou Zhanye with some surprise, and laughed for a long time: "Then what do you think now?" ”
"How about the two of us?" Zou Zhanye looked at Chen Cong with some flattery, with a look of anticipation.
"You know I'm rich? Isn't your old watch richer, making millions a year. You're going to find him to join in. Chen Cong pointed at Sun Zhengwei and said.
While Chen Cong teased Zou Zhanye, he began to think about it in his heart, in fact, opening a restaurant was originally just an idea that Chen Cong came up casually, and it was still far from being implemented. But seeing Zou Zhanye like this, he suddenly felt that he could think about it.
Of course, Chen Cong knows that the catering industry will still be very interesting in the next few years, but he has no experience in this industry and has no time to manage it. If you have a good partner, it's obviously very good. Zou Zhanye is a good candidate, first: he has his own ideas, second: family management experience, third: Chen Cong remembered the last time the bar happened, Zou Zhanye seems to have some energy in some aspects, which is more or less a guarantee for the catering industry. But the problem now is that Chen Cong and Zou Zhanye are not too familiar in the end, and they can't talk about trust and understanding at all. Thinking of this, Chen Cong couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"He, he didn't make money for a few years, and he invested all in the decoration company. If you want to make a match for Xu Jianbo, how can you play if you don't have some capital to invest in it. Besides, this guy has no interest in the hotel industry at all, and I can't force it. Relatives to relatives, business is business. Zou Zhanye explained.
Chen Cong frowned and smacked his lips, but then raised his eyebrows and smiled again. Investment, more investment and less investment are investments, anyway, investing in a hotel is not a big deal for yourself, and continue to increase investment if the cooperation is good. It's just a restaurant, not a lot of money. If you really win over a good partner through this matter, it will be worth it: "No problem with cooperation, what store are you going to open, how much money to invest, and how big is it?" ”
"What are you guys talking about here?" Before Zou Zhanye could answer, a sweet voice came from afar in the night, and it wasn't until he got closer that everyone recognized it as Jiang Huiqin.
"Why did you come here? You're in the spotlight today. Chen Cong said with a smile.
"Are you laughing at me, Brother Daben." Jiang Huiqin said with a smile.
"Stop, stop. I'm in a hurry to shout again. As soon as Chen Cong heard the three words of Brother Daben, he immediately begged for mercy.
"Alright, you two don't brow." Zou Zhanye naturally had no interest in teasing Jiang Huiqin at this time, and when he saw that the topic was crooked, he quickly pulled it back: "To open a restaurant, there must be at least three or four hundred square meters." The specific amount of investment depends on the location, how can there be two or three million. ”
"Two or three million is not a lot of money, how much can you contribute yourself?" Chen Cong thought in his heart, two or three million was nothing. Money in the stock market may be able to multiply a few times, but today, Chen Cong really doesn't pay much attention to these. Investing in industry, turning money into a career, and turning it into a social status is the right way.
The short contact with Xu Jianbo made Chen Cong a little stimulated, he is rich, and he will definitely be richer in the future, but his status in the rivers and lakes is too lacking, and in the eyes of others, he is a junior who has just debuted. For this consideration, the opportunity is in front of him, and Chen Cong really doesn't care about two or three million things. The only thing I'm worried about is not to be treated as a wronged person. looked up at Zou Zhanye, thinking that it shouldn't be.
Chen Cong's words were very casual, and several people looked at Chen Cong with strange eyes, people who do business naturally have some assets. But there may not be much cash, and people who can say that two or three million are not a lot of money, excluding bragging, normally speaking, assets are tens of millions.
Jiang Huiqin knew that Chen Cong had only invested 4.5 million in a medical device company a few days ago, and when she heard Chen Cong's faint tone and look indifferent, she couldn't help but reassess Chen Cong's strength.
"Are you planning to open a hotel in partnership? Take me or not, hundreds of thousands of me will come out. Jiang Huiqin smiled softly.
"Jiang Beauty, you want to join the gang, of course I approve with both hands." Zou Zhanye said, and turned to Chen Cong, "I can come up with 600,000 at most." ”
"If it's only two or three million, three or four million, it's not a big problem, no matter how much you pay, I'll take care of the rest. Jiang beauty, are you also joining? Chen Cong saw that Jiang Huiqin joined without hesitation, and there was no hesitation in his heart.
"And me, do you want to take me?" Liu Hongyuan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke out at this time.
After a brief discussion, on the premise of just relying on an idea and seeing nothing, several people negotiated the proportion of investment: Zou Zhanye 600,000, Jiang Huiqin 600,000, Liu Hongyuan 600,000, Chen Cong 1.2 million. With a total investment of 3 million, the hotel was fully managed by Zou Zhanye, and Zou Zhanye took 4 more shares. That is, Zou Zhanye 24%, Jiang Huiqin, Liu Hongyuan 19% each, Chen Cong 38%.
After the talks, they dispersed, and such verbal agreements often had more force than formal contracts. A businessman in a circle, if he doesn't count, is basically equivalent to quitting the circle. Everyone agreed that once Zou Zhanye found a good storefront, the money would arrive within three days. Zou Zhanye's goal was achieved, he was in a happy mood, and pulled Sun Zhengwei to play golf.
Chen Cong didn't have any interest in that thing, and he walked aimlessly in the club with Jiang Huiqin, accompanied by beauty, but he was not too bored:
"How do you feel that you all trust Zou Zhanye."
"He has always had a good reputation, he is righteous and credible, the key is to save face, he would rather lose himself than lose us. And if he invests in opening a restaurant, his old man will definitely help him, and he will make a steady profit if he can't lose money. Jiang Huiqin pursed her lips and smiled and said.
"Zou Zhaolong?" Chen Cong asked.
"Yes, Lao Zou is very well-connected. government, shopping malls, including in our hometown circles. He opened his mouth to say hello, and the hotel business could boom for a year. Jiang Huiqin said with a smile, "As long as Zou Zhanye is not too stupid, this store will be opened, no matter how much he invests, he will definitely return to his capital in half a year." ”
"Oh, hehe." Chen Cong smiled, it seemed that he had taken advantage of the Zou family, "Then how could this guy lack money to find me." ”
"I guess it's because I don't know you well." Jiang Huiqin held back a smile and said, "At least everyone else in the Gusu Club circle is familiar with him, he wants to save face, and he can't say anything about having no money." That is, you show off your wealth all day long, since you have been sent to the door, is it normal for him to look for you, I have taken advantage of your light. Lao Zou must have money, but he won't give it to him, because this guy used to be too mixed, and Lao Zou still has a shadow now. ”
Chen Cong was a little dumbfounded, what is the reason for this, he is not familiar with himself, so he is embarrassed to speak.
"Wait, have I ever flaunted my wealth? When did I flaunt my wealth? Chen Cong recalled Jiang Huiqin's words, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to explain here.
"I don't think I've seen you show off your wealth." Jiang Huiqin thought about it carefully, "But I don't know why, since the first day you joined the group, almost everyone thought that you were quite rich and a nouveau riche. ”
"Is this the highest level of showing off wealth, I don't seem to have done anything." Chen Cong looked puzzled, "It must be Zhu Yabin's nonsense, what did he say before I joined the group?" ”
Jiang Huiqin didn't speak, covered her mouth and laughed.
