Chapter 47: Kneel down to the local tyrant

Li Nianfeng is 32 years old this year, is a returned overseas Chinese, his father immigrated to the United States in 1939 to escape the war, he was born in the United States, has never been to China for more than 30 years, his father died of illness a month and a half ago, leaving him an inheritance of about 3.5 million US dollars, he followed his father's will to bring his father's ashes back to his hometown Yanjing Changping Taofeng Cemetery for burial.

originally thought that this return to China was a return to his hometown, and he was honored to return to his hometown, which was envied by everyone. But the truth was 108,000 miles away from what he expected, because his uncle, his father's eldest brother Li Yunjian, was already a leading cadre at the ministerial level 20 years ago. Over the years, the Li family in Yanjing has developed well and prosperously, and now it is one of the four major families in Yanjing.

His cousins and cousins of the same generation basically held great power and were in charge of one side, and they didn't take him as a "banana man" in their eyes at all, although his uncle was very close to him, and he couldn't help but cry and be heartbroken when he learned of his father's death......

But those contemporaries didn't regard him as their own relatives at all, they were arrogant and indifferent to him, saying that he was "yellow-skinned and white-hearted" behind his back, and even complained about her father's avoidance overseas.

Li Nianfeng is a person with strong self-esteem, and even a little proud.

Made, do you think I'm a man who can't stay abroad anymore and comes to join a rich relative?

He decided not to return to the United States for the time being, and vowed to make a career in Yanjing so that they could open their eyes and take a good look.

But now he has nothing but money. It seems that he can only make a name for himself by doing business, so he has been looking for a good investment project recently, and then heard from his American classmates that Tang Tianchen is pulling investment everywhere.

Tang Tianchen is not the first time he has heard of the name, Americans in Yanjing are basically inextricably linked, when he just returned to Yanjing, he heard his friends mention this person, spoke highly of him, this is the first time he has seen a proud white man praise a Chinese without hesitation. I was a little proud and at the same time took an interest in this person.

From the discussion of his peers, it is not difficult for him to hear that this is a person with ambition, scheming, ability and courage, I heard that he has only just set foot in the taxi industry for half a month, and now he earns more than 20 times more money every day than other drivers, even then he is still not satisfied, he has greater ambitions......

Perhaps, this person is the person I need, Li Nianfeng decided to meet him in person.

Sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame.

Li Nianfeng did not reveal his identity, but said that he was an ordinary American overseas Chinese who could speak Chinese, and Tang Tianchen really heard the same as he heard:

Handsome, smiling, attentive service, good attitude, mature and humorous, empathetic and responsive.

Li Nianfeng deliberately put on a domineering and arrogant appearance to deliberately find fault, but Tang Tianchen was gentle and elegant, skillfully coping, strong adaptability, and clever handling of things, which made him breathtaking, and he almost wondered if the teenage body in front of him was hiding a forty-year-old soul, just like an old fritter who had been running around in society for decades.

At the same time, Tang Tianchen's vision and knowledge also amazed her, whether it is international and domestic, military entertainment, finance and sports, education and real estate, automotive science and technology...... Almost all of them are involved, and they are the first to speak. As a yellow person who has lived in the United States for 30 years, Li Nianfeng feels that his understanding of the United States is less than half that of Tang Tianchen.

In the exchange with Tang Tianchen, he was pleased to find that Tang Tianchen's thinking mode was not at all conservative and rigid like the current Chinese people, but completely Westernized, open, and progressive. Far more imaginative and creative than the smartest American classmates he had ever met, which made the atmosphere of communication even better.

But what Li Nianfeng values most is not this, but the confidence and aggressiveness in him.

He seems to see a shadow of his past in him, adventurous, good at seizing opportunities, adaptable and determined, which is definitely the best quality of an entrepreneur.

That's who I'm looking for!

Li Nianfeng was already 120 satisfied with Tang Tianchen in his heart, but he still had to continue to ask: "What is the operating model?" ”

Tang Tianchen had already done his homework, and replied calmly:

"At present, the current operation status of Yanjing Taxi is a self-employed model, that is, a model in which property rights and operating rights are unified and operated by individuals. Self-employed people independently operate independently by obtaining the right to operate directly from the government on the basis of owning the property rights of the vehicle. In layman's terms, it is to buy a car by yourself and go through the approval procedures by yourself. ”

"Well, that's right......"

However, this business model has a major weakness: because it is self-employed, the management department is directly facing a large number of business individuals, and it is difficult to manage it in place. In addition, due to the high risk of passenger taxis, in the event of an accident that is difficult for the operator to bear, the cost will be transferred to society and ultimately borne by the government. So it's not hard to speculate that this model will soon be forcibly outlawed by the government. ”

In fact, this is not speculation at all, Tang Tianchen, who is familiar with the history of taxi development, knows that since 1996, Yanjing City has implemented total control over taxis, corrected the problem of taxi companies selling cars in disguise to drivers, and required the company to buy back all vehicles purchased by drivers with capital contributions, so that the property rights of vehicles are transferred from the hands of drivers to the hands of the company, and the drivers adopt a contracted business model to operate. This contract business model continued until he crossed over.

Li Nianfeng obviously also investigated the relevant information, and doubted: "The number of taxis is still small at the moment, and the ban should not happen soon, right?" ”

Tang Tianchen replied honestly: "That's true, this operation model should continue for 5~6 years, but we can find a way to promote the implementation of this policy in advance, or just find a way to convince others that it will be implemented immediately." That's enough. ”

"Why do you do that?"

"This starts with the second business model of taxis, because according to the first business model, taxi companies simply have no soil for survival and no need for existence."

"What's the second operating model?"

"Contracted business model. The model of separation of property rights and management rights. The taxi company obtains the right to operate the taxi from the government department, and the driver pays the car for the car, bears the operating expenses, and pays the company a monthly management fee. ”

"But now that someone else is doing a good job on their own, how can they suddenly pay you a management fee for no reason?" Li Nianfeng's expression remained unchanged.

"Well, this requires a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, to spread the news in the newspapers and media, but also to lobby influential people to suggest to the government, exaggerate the disadvantages of the self-employed model, advocate the advantages of the contract business model, and promote the introduction of regulations and policies to ban self-employment as soon as possible, so as to make those individual taxi drivers panic." Tang Tianchen continued:

"On the other hand, in the early stage, for individual taxi owners to join the cooperation to attract them to join, the early stage can be free of management fees, with five insurances and one housing fund, monthly guaranteed income, catering subsidies and other means to attract them, and at the same time can promise them that in case of accidents, the aftermath and compensation issues can be borne by the company with him."

"But in this case, how to make money?"

"Advertising revenue. We can on both sides of the doors, roof billboards, front and rear glass underside, car interior...... All product placements, here is a lot of income. You can also pick up some activities such as welcome, opening ceremony, wedding car and other large number of car activities, which is also a lot of income. ”

Li Nianfeng nodded, and Tang Tianchen continued to add:

"In fact, there is another model, which can also be used as a reference. However, it can only be used as an alternative, because the cost accounting will be relatively large. The biggest advantage of this model is that the company's responsibilities, rights and interests are unified, and it is easy to form economies of scale and brand benefits. However, to realize this business model, first of all, there must be a large consortium with strong funds to join the market, and secondly, there must be a good economic cost recovery environment. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Li Nianfeng became interested.

"The property rights and management rights are unified, and they are operated by the scale of the company, that is, the public bus model. The main practice of this model is that the company obtains the right to operate from the government, and the company directly finances the purchase of vehicles and recruits drivers, and the relationship between the company and the driver is a pure employment relationship. Taxi drivers are paid a basic salary plus a commission. ”

"And what do you think?"

"The company can buy a batch of slightly high-end cars to serve as a faΓ§ade and live advertising, mainly as a wedding car or to welcome VIPs. It is mainly to absorb self-employed households to join. ”

"So how much do you expect to invest in the first place? How long does it take to make a profit and how long does it take to pay for itself? ”

"The initial capital is only 200,000 yuan, but it is best to inject all the capital directly from overseas companies. You can make a profit within three months, and you will definitely pay for yourself within three years. ”

"Are you really confident? What about risk assessments and plans? ”

If it was three days ago, of course Tang Tianchen didn't know anything, but now he was ready, and hurriedly handed several plans and materials to Li Nianfeng.

Li Nianfeng finished reading all the information and plans, bowed his head slightly, stretched out his hand to Tang Tianchen and said:

"Mr. Tang, congratulations, I have been successfully persuaded by you. I have decided to invest your project in full. ”

Tang Tianchen was obviously surprised, and excitedly shook Li Nianfeng's hand: "Mr. Li, you have made a very remarkable decision, I will definitely not let you down." ”

This is a historic moment, back to 26 years ago, I got the first investment in my life, and the surroundings were silent at that moment, but in Tang Tianchen's eyes, it was no less than a screen full of flowers.

Li Nianfeng looked into the distance and said leisurely: "If I don't just ask the company to make a profit, but make our company the largest taxi company in Yanjing, can you do it?" ”

"This ...... can do it, but it can be done, but with all due respect, the tree is a big move, I'm just afraid of ......" Tang Tianchen wanted to say and stopped.

Li Nianfeng waved his hand: "You don't need to think about this problem." You just need to think about how to make our company the largest taxi company in Yanjing, and I want everyone in Yanjing to know our company. As long as you can. Money, not a problem. ”

"I understand what Mr. Li means, but in this case, the cost may be higher, and the waiting time for profit will be longer."

"That's not a problem, as long as you can give our company a 50% share of the Yanjing taxi market. Any conditions are yours! If you can do it in three months, I will give you 20% of the company's shares. If you can do it in half a year, I'll give you 15%. I'll give you 10 percent a year. If you can do it in two years, I will give you 5%, and if you don't do it in three years, it will always be only 1%. ”

"Then I don't know how much Mr. Li expects to invest?"

"Invest 1 million ...... in the early stage," Li Nianfeng stretched out a finger. USD, from my company in the United States directly to the new company account. If it's not enough, you can add it. ”

, $1,000,000!

According to the current exchange rate, that is 4.78 million yuan! Kneel down to the local tyrants!
