354: General Manager Candidate
A super shopping mall located in an international metropolis and in the center of the city, even if it was only in 1984, Lin Yao believed that it could bring him a profit of one or two hundred million yuan in a year.
Putting down the future generations is at least hundreds of millions, or even billions of benefits.
He believes that as long as the mall can be built, as the first free mall in Yanjing, it will definitely be able to return to its original cost within half a year.
The back is all earned.
He was willing to gamble, betting that when the old man was in power, as the first foreign businessman to invest in Yanjing, no one would be allowed to touch him.
As for the old man's absence, it will be at least ten years later.
At that time, he had already made a lot of money, and he was a wealthy family, and his status was no less than that of the current head of the four major families on Hong Kong Island, and he had the right to talk directly to the upper echelons.
"After the establishment of the six super malls, I can earn almost 100 million Tang yuan a year in the mainland.
At this point, it is not advisable to make a big move within five years, lest it provoke a backlash from conservatives.
Five years later, in the 90s, the reform and opening up entered the second stage, and I was able to use the six central shopping malls as the foundation to march into the surrounding first-tier cities.
As long as my plan is not interrupted, before the arrival of Jiuqi, my hometown will be worth more than 10 billion, just like Wal-Mart supermarkets, blooming everywhere, helping me sit on the throne of the richest man in the Tang Kingdom.
When the time comes, I can go to Yanjing to participate in the handover negotiations as the top ten representatives of Hong Kong businessmen, like Li Chaoren, Guo Hongding, Charter King, Zheng Dafu, Li Diji, and Huo Shatian.
As long as we go this far, unless we commit a great crime of treason, no one will dare to use indiscriminate means against me, because I represent the entire Hong Kong Island, and moving me will cause instability on Hong Kong Island. ”
With regard to Hong Kong and Macao, the above policy has always been to maintain stability, and this policy will never change within 50 years.
When you get to this position, it is equivalent to getting a gold medal for avoiding death, no matter who is sitting on it, as long as you don't threaten national security, you have to give a few thin noodles on it. ”
Coming out of the street office, looking at the contract stamped with the seal of the Reform Office, Lin Yao thought a lot for a while.
He never regarded himself as a real black club, and joining the club was just using the ladder of the club to climb higher.
Before Jiuqi returns, he will definitely wash his hands and go ashore.
What could be better than representing Hong Kong Island in the handover negotiations and accepting a positive report from Tang Guo Daily?
Tang Guodai said that he was white, who dared to say that he was black.
Saying that he is black, aren't you in opposition to the above?
Once the tone is set, the Xiang brothers of later generations can be whitewashed and openly participate in entertainment programs, and he, a patriotic businessman who supported the construction of the mainland in his early years, will have no problem.
With this in mind, Lin Yao had a clearer vision of the future route.
Of course, there is a small problem at the moment.
His current roots are on Hong Kong Island, and it is precisely because of Hong Kong businessmen as a protective shell that he can successfully invest in his hometown.
Therefore, he can't give up on Hong Kong Island, and he can't stay in his hometown forever, and if he leaves, who will be responsible for the construction and development here?
Lin Yao fell into deep thought.
He doesn't have business wizard-type subordinates under him, and Liu Hua's gang is okay to cut people, so forget about doing business.
Handing over the six large shopping malls to them, Lin Yao estimated that he would vomit blood in anger.
"Business Wizard!!"
One name after another flashed from Lin Yao's heart, constantly being screened and denied by him.
In the end, a name came to his mind and turned into three words: Xu Lingjun!
Xu Lingjun was born in a big family and was influenced by business since he was a child.
Even if the Xu family was defeated and Old Man Xu left, he was sent to the northwest to herd horses, and he never put down his books.
Although Xu Lingjun has never done business, he is definitely a potential business wizard, a natural businessman.
Otherwise, after talking to him all night, Mr. Xu told him very clearly that as long as he returned to the United States with him, he would inherit the family business within three years.
It can be seen from here that Xu Lingjun's business talent is by no means simple.
Even Old Man Xu, who is accustomed to seeing wind and rain and becoming a billionaire overseas, feels that he has the ability to take over his big position.
He's the right fit.
"What, you want to invite me to become the general manager of Jiajiafu Group, give me an annual salary of one million plus a dividend of three percent of the profit, and let me help you take care of your industry in the mainland?"
Hearing Lin Yao's invitation, Xu Lingjun was a little dumbfounded.
Three days ago, he was a horse wrangler at Northwest Ranch and a teacher at Ranch Elementary School.
Three days later, not only did a father invite him to return to the United States to inherit hundreds of millions of family assets, but also a person who had just known him for less than two days invited him to be the general manager of the group.
Xu Lingjun was a little dumbfounded, is this era changing too fast, or is he a little unable to keep up with the times.
With a wry smile on his face, he said bluntly: "Boss Lin, are you drinking, you know my situation, I have never done business at all, let alone being a general manager."
To tell you the truth, I didn't even know what a super mall was three days ago, how can you rest assured that I will be the general manager to help you take care of the six large malls under your name? ”
Xu Lingjun is not a person who likes to dream, he hasn't even figured out what a super mall is, let alone thinks that he is a qualified shopkeeper.
Of course, deep down he had a hint of gratitude.
A stranger who has known each other for two days dares to hand over a mall with an investment of tens of millions to him to manage, what is the difference between Liu Bang worshipping Han Xin as a general.
Before Han Xin became Liu Bang's general, he had never served as a general at all, let alone led troops to fight.
Although many people say that Han Xin has a unique view on marching and fighting, who knows if he can do it, what if it is a figure like Zhao Kuo?
You must admit that Liu Bang had gambling elements at that time.
As for Lin Yao, he wasn't gambling.
Most of his understanding of Xu Lingjun comes from movies, and a small part of it is learned through conversations after contact in the past two days.
Even Xu Lingjun himself didn't dare to say that he could manage the six large shopping malls properly, but Lin Yao bluntly chose to believe him, why not meet a bosom friend in the mountains and flowing water?
"Are you serious?"
Without waiting for Xu Lingjun to say anything, Old Man Xu walked out of the back room: "I heard your conversation, thank you for your affirmation of Lingjun, he has the excellent genes of our Xu family, and he will definitely become a qualified businessman in the future."
But now, he is still a little young, if you want Lingjun to take over the position of general manager because of my existence, I think you must have miscalculated. ”
Old Man Xu came forward, not to give Lin Yao a little red flower, on the contrary, he came to pour cold water.
Hearing his words, Lin Yao smiled and said, "You are wrong, I invited Brother Xu to be my general manager because he has a businessman's sense of smell, good quality, perseverance in his heart, and firmness that does not gain for external things, and has nothing to do with you."
You may think that I invited Brother Xu to build a relationship with you and borrow your connections and channels.
This guess is wrong, I don't need your channels in the United States, my goods will be shipped from Hong Kong Island, mainly Hong Kong and Japanese goods, American goods are too expensive for me, not suitable for me, and not suitable for the current Tang Kingdom, even if you give me a very low discount.
As for what you said, the current Brother Xu is still a little young and not a qualified business leader, I don't deny that.
But don't forget that there is no concept of a super mall in Tang at present, and even I am sure that there will be no second super mall in addition to us in the short term.
We are doing our own business, no one competes with us, with the talent of Brother Xu, I believe that after a year and a half, he will definitely become a qualified business leader.
At that time, even if a second super mall appeared, or if others wanted to get a piece of the pie, with Brother Xu's ability, he would be able to deal with the open and dark arrows at that time. ”
Lin Yao looked at Old Man Xu and asked rhetorically, "I have enough time for Big Brother Xu to grow up and make him a qualified business leader, don't you deny this?" ”
Old Man Xu didn't speak, because what Lin Yao said was very right, with the current situation in the Tang Kingdom, there would not be a second person as bold as him.
When there is one later, it will be for the future.
Xu Lingjun is his son, and he can proudly say that Xu Lingjun lives up to the Xu family lineage, and he has all the necessary conditions for the head of a top business family.
The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and the dragon changes when it encounters the wind and clouds.
All he lacks is a chance, a chance to prove himself, just like Han Shin back then.
"You, come out with me."
Old Man Xu was on crutches, nodded to Lin Yao, and came to the balcony alone.
Lin Yao gave Xu Lingjun a reassuring expression, and then walked out, and the two stood on the balcony and watched the traffic below.
"I wanted to take Lingjun to the United States, but he refused, saying that he was reluctant to give birth to this land that gave birth to him, and decided to stay in his hometown and witness the arrival of a new era.
Originally, I was quite worried about him, his talent should not be wasted on the horse farm, let alone as a teacher for elementary school students.
Your appearance has opened my eyes to a third possibility.
If you can convince Lingjun to stay instead of returning to the Northwest Ranch, I can grant you a request that is not too much. ”
Old Man Xu looked back at Lin Yao and said, "I am a billionaire in the United States, worth hundreds of millions, holding several positions, and ranking 68th on the list of the richest people in the United States.
You may not know what this means, but trust me, I can do a lot of things you can't. ”
Lin Yao is not an ordinary person, he knows what hundreds of millions of dollars represented in the United States in the 80s.
But he didn't value these, but asked rhetorically: "You still have the idea of making Xu Lingjun your successor, right?" ”
Old Man Xu nodded lightly.
He couldn't deny his thoughts, because he had already shown them.
It's a pity that the current Xu Lingjun doesn't want to go to the United States with him at all, let alone inherit the Xu family's foundation overseas.
He can only hope that Lin Yao can persuade Xu Lingjun to let his life gradually move closer to business, and pray that after Xu Lingjun adapts to the business game, his resistance to him will not be so strong.
The current Xu Lingjun is simply a stubborn donkey.
"I'll do everything I can to keep him in my company, not for your promises, but for myself."
Lin Yao leaned into Old Man Xu's ear and whispered, "He is a born businessman, as you said, he should not be allowed to go back to the Northwest Ranch to herd horses." ”
