Chapter 046: The terrible identity of the landlady
Xu Linbo worked vigorously and resolutely, and took someone to find Gao Zheng that afternoon and signed an agreement for the sale of the house. Subsequent procedures such as property rights change will be completed within three days.
Originally, according to Xu Linbo's meaning, Gao Zheng was asked to pay half of the house payment first, and then pay the balance after all the change procedures were completed. But Gao Zheng said that he believed in the credibility of the Xu family and believed in Xu Linbo's character, so he paid the full amount of the house to the Xu family's account.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Gao for your trust, Mr. Gao is so refreshing, I won't be ambiguous, I'll do the formalities myself." Xu Linbo got up a little excitedly: "Our Xu family still has some shops ready to sell on East Street, if Mr. Gao is interested, you can contact me at any time, the price is negotiable." ”
"No problem, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate with the Xu family master in the future." Gao Zheng said lightly and sent Xu Linbo out of the teahouse.
Then Gao Zheng told Huang Guo about this and asked him to prepare to start the renovation of the medicinal food hall. The specific plan is formulated by him, as long as it does not affect the business as much as possible.
In the past two days, Huang Guo has been worrying about the house, worried that the Xu family will really take back the house, or increase the rent significantly. After receiving Gao Zheng's call, he finally felt at ease.
But before he had time to be happy, there was trouble coming to the door again, and it was even more of a headache, and even Huang Guo felt that Gao Zheng had taken over this medicinal food hall at the beginning, whether he had fallen into Qin Baifu's trap.
It turned out that Qin Baifu didn't care about the operation of the medicinal restaurant on the surface over the years, but he firmly grasped the right to purchase important materials. In particular, the herbs and ingredients needed by the medicinal diet hall were all purchased by Qin Baifu himself, and the so-called purchasing manager only had the right to sign his name.
These herbal ingredients account for the bulk of the restaurant's procurement expenditure, accounting for nearly half, and are all supplied by the same merchant. According to the previously signed agreement, the payment is made semi-annually.
The time of payment payable this year is in this month, and Huang Guo roughly calculated according to the purchase order, and it was as high as nearly one million. In the past six months, the operating income of the medicinal diet hall has only been more than 300,000 yuan.
That is, there are nearly 700,000 items in the middle that are "missing".
Huang Guo asked several relevant responsible persons, and the results were different. Some say that it is natural attrition, and some say that because of bad business, some herbs and ingredients are moldy and spoiled and thrown away. There are also some more subtle ones that tell Huang Guo that the kitchen often brings something back.
Everyone knows what these so-called "things" are.
In addition to the mismatch of the items, Huang Guo also found that the price of Qin Baifu's purchase was very high, which was fifty percent higher than the market price.
In short, Huang Guo was very angry, and when he reported to Gao Zheng, he was very emotional.
Gao Zheng is also very helpless, these are all old accounts from the past, and it is obviously inappropriate to hold anyone accountable now. And I said at the last meeting that I will not blame the past for the past.
However, the purchase price is too high, so you can find Qin Baifu to deal with it. It's no wonder that the medicinal diet hall was transferred to Gao Zheng at an "amazing price" so happily, and it turned out that there was still a lot of greasy inside.
To put it mildly, it's a pit. After Qin Baifu pulled Gao Zheng down the pit, he stepped on it again.
So Gao Zheng immediately called this Qin Baifu and asked him to come for tea tomorrow. This old fox is very good, and he guessed that Gao Zheng must have something to do with himself, but he didn't want to shirk it, so he only said that he had been a little busy recently, and he would come to Gao Zheng after two days of busyness.
Anyway, there is still a week before the final payment, Gao Zheng is not in a hurry, if Qin Baifu does not show up at that time, it will be a big deal to go to the Ye family to find him.
After the teahouse closed in the evening, Gao Zheng sent Su Xiaoyi back to the noodle shop next door, and then returned alone to wait for the landlord to arrive.
said that he would talk about some long-term cooperation with Gao Zheng, but he had not seen a shadow so far, and Gao Zheng doubted whether he had been released into the pigeon.
But after thinking about it, maybe the other party deliberately chose to come over at the time when the teahouse was not open, so as not to affect Gao Zheng's work.
Sure enough, not long after Gao Zheng sat down, there was the sound of walking in high heels at the door.
"You're Boss Gao, aren't you?" A beautiful woman in a cheongsam walked in and sat across from Gao Zheng with a sweet smile on her face.
Gao Zheng was slightly stunned, the woman in front of him, who was only twenty-seven or eight years old, was really the landlord?
"It doesn't seem polite to stare at a beautiful woman like this!" The woman blinked cutely and said to Gao Zheng, "What, aren't you going to invite me to a cup of tea?" ”
Gao Zheng smiled distractedly and made a pot of roselle tea: "I didn't expect the landlord to be a stunning beauty, I was offended just now, please forgive me." ”
"It's nothing, women are meant to be seen by men, and being able to be looked at by men a few more times at least shows that there is still some charm." The woman's words almost made Gao Zheng squirt out the tea in his mouth: "Don't call me the landlord, it looks too rusty." If you don't mind, just call me Sister Qing...... Well, I'm supposed to be older than you......"
Then, the self-acquainted landlady briefly introduced her situation to Gao Zheng.
Her real name is Wu Qing, and she is the head of Xiangquan "Zhenghe" Investment Group. Many of Xiangquan's key investment projects have the shadow of "Zhenghe", and they have directly or indirectly participated in the investment and construction.
The house in the teahouse was bought by Wu Qing from an intermediary company a few years ago. Originally, I wanted to stock it up and wait for it to increase in value, and then sell it.
I don't want the location here to be too remote, and it is difficult to see the hope of adding value. Especially in the past two years, housing prices in other parts of the city have skyrocketed, but the small street is standing still.
There are even some homeowners who want to get out of the small street, and they do not hesitate to sell at a reduced price.
Therefore, when Wu Qing heard Zhou Yunfang say that she wanted to take over, she immediately agreed.
"It turns out that Sister Qing is the big boss, no wonder she can't look down on that little bit of house money." Gao Zheng smiled faintly: "But the scale of the teahouse is too small, and the output value is pitifully low. ”
Wu Qing shook his head: "Boss Gao...... It's better to call you little brother...... Well, I believe in the abilities of the little brother. That night, the little brother fought with the 'Dragon Hall', and he had already made a name for himself in both the above-ground world and the underground world of Xiangquan. The gold-lettered signboard of Ping'an Tea House is also louder. ”
Moreover, in just over a month, the little brother not only opened a branch, but also said to have taken down the Ye family's medicinal restaurant. Just because of the courage and courage of the little brother, I am very optimistic about the future development of the teahouse. ”
Gao Zheng was secretly surprised, this woman was really not simple, and she actually knew her situation clearly.
However, she is also frank enough with Gao Zheng and is a partner to consider.
So Gao Zheng immediately cut to the topic and asked Wu Qing what kind of long-term cooperation he wanted to talk to him about.
Wu Qing took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Credit investment...... No matter what kind of investment you make in the future, if you need money, you can borrow it from me. I don't need you to pay back this money, I only need to take the corresponding profits of the investment project to divide the bank. ”
"For example, you invested in a project of 20 million yuan and asked me to borrow 10 million. Then in the future, after the project is profitable, I will take half of the profit. Of course, in case of loss, you only need to repay the principal. ”
In other words, Wu Qing lent money to Gao Zheng, in fact, in the form of shares, to participate in the investment and operation of the project. The project made money, and the two parties distributed dividends in proportion to the invested funds, and if there was a loss, Wu Qing would withdraw the shares and recover the loan principal at the same time. “
To put it bluntly, the "Zhenghe" investment company does business that only makes money and does not lose money. No matter how bad it is, there is only no profit, at least the principal will not be lost.
This investment model is similar to bank loans and loan sharks in the underground world. It's just that whether it is a bank or a loan shark, the interest earned bears the risk that the principal may not be recovered, which is the so-called bad debt and dead debt.
And Wu Qing earns the profit brought by the principal, and there is almost no risk. Because even if the borrower has no money to repay the principal, the project is still there, and it can be used to pay off the debt.
Sure enough, she is a powerful woman, she can do her business to such an extreme at a young age, it is difficult to find a second one.
However, Gao Zheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with this investment method, on the contrary, he thought that it was a very good financing channel. In the future, the teahouse will expand and the business will slowly grow, and there will be more and more places that need money, and it is inevitable that there will be times when the capital chain will break.
As long as Wu Qing can provide financial support in a timely manner and participate in the distribution of profits according to the proportion of her shares, there is nothing wrong with it.
"I didn't expect my credit in Sister Qing's eyes to be so high, so thank you Sister Qing first." Gao Zheng said happily: "If there are good projects that need money in the future, I will definitely ask Sister Qing for help." ”
"Okay, I like to work with people like my little brother." Wu Qing smiled affectionately, and then got up: "It's not too early, I'll say goodbye first, there is my sister's phone number on the business card on the table, remember to save it." ”
Gao Zheng nodded, stuffed the business card into his pocket, and then sent Wu Qing out of the teahouse.
There was a Maserati parked on the street in front of the door, and two strong men who looked like bodyguards stood in front of the car, and when they saw Wu Qing coming out, one of the strong men opened the car door.
"Sister Qing, go slowly, I won't send it." Gao Zheng waved his hand at Wu Qing.
Wu Qing walked to the front of the car and was about to go up, when suddenly he seemed to remember something, and turned around and walked quickly towards Gao Zheng.
