Cheng Hetai and Tong Junwu are good friends, they met when they were doing foreign trade, and they helped each other in the wind and rain together, which can be regarded as sharing weal and woe. Although Tong's group has a big family, they never compare their strength and have always kept in touch, so Cheng Hetai came to Tong Junwu to introduce him to the new project of baking.

In fact, Cheng Hetai is fully capable of carrying out this project independently, but he feels that with a large company like Tong's Group as the backstage, others will be impressed by them, so he extended an olive branch to Tong Junwu, hoping to work together.

Seongsan found a problem in their financial statements, so he brought it up directly.

"They are suspected of money laundering. Chengshan whispered.

"How do you know?" asked Tong Junwu.

"I saw their financial statements. Chengshan said.

"Cheng Hetai let you see their financial statements?" Tong Junwu was very surprised, Cheng Hetai is a very shrewd businessman, even if he believes in Chengshan, it is impossible to show his family background when they meet for the first time.

"I found it through technical means. Chengshan replied. Through comparison, it was found that their company had been engaged in rubber tire smuggling activities in the past few years, and had also imported a large amount of chemical waste, which was only used for landfill disposal, and made high profits from it. ”

Chengshan simply cited a few specific data, which seems to be a certainty.

Tong Junwu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chengshan's ability to be so great. He had only heard of Cheng Hetai doing this kind of thing before, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, Chengshan would discover so many insiders.

"What else did you find?" Tong Junwu continued.

"There are no new discoveries for the time being. Chengshan said.

"What do you think of this project?" Mr. Tong said.

"The profitability of the project is average. Chengshan replied.

Although the catering industry seems to be very profitable, Chengshan has already found that it is only compared with the purchase price of raw materials, and if you add rent, labor, water and electricity bills and taxes payable, there is not much left. Moreover, this Western-style fast food requires special equipment and rents expensive fashionable business shops, which account for the majority of the expenditure.

"Then do you think you should cooperate with them?" asked Tong Junwu.

"Although cooperation is not very risky, there is no need to wade into this troubled water. Chengshan said.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Tong Junwu.

"Their purpose is to use our fame to prevent the embarrassing situation of low-end competition in the market, but I don't think they can get out of the price dilemma. For example, they claim that the flour they use is imported from abroad and has an excellent taste performance. But in fact, it is difficult for an ordinary consumer to distinguish between imported flour and ordinary flour, and the domestic better high-gluten flour also has the same performance, and everyone pays more attention to the taste rather than gimmicks. ”

"Secondly, there are several baking companies of the same type on the market, although their products are also very novel, but they are always the same, and they can't get rid of those routines, and the sales of several other dessert shops are very general, and they will use low-price promotions for a period of time when they first open, but with the decline of freshness, coupled with the single audience of products, they often go into a dead end of production and operation. ”

"Thirdly, their management is a bit chaotic, several people in charge are either relatives or friends, and the level of ability is very average, and the financial loopholes are very huge, so I am not optimistic about the development prospects of their company. ”

After saying his opinion, Chengshan sat there quietly, waiting for Tong Junwu to speak.

Tong Junwu didn't say anything, silently finished the cigarette in his hand, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, cleared his throat and said.

"Do you think that their family's money is coming from an unknown source, and the bakery industry is highly competitive and has mediocre prospects, plus their company is in a chaotic management, so you don't support my investment?" asked Tong Junwu.

"Yes. Chengshan thinks that this summary is correct.

"Chengshan, you must know that the source of funds of every enterprise may not be clean, and it is a victory to survive in the fierce market competition. Although the competition in the baking industry is fierce, the people take food as the sky, and the catering industry is something that no one can avoid, as long as it is done well, it can also occupy a place in the market. Although their company is in some difficulties for the time being, I believe in Cheng Hetai's ability, and he will manage his company well. ”

Tong Junwu's remarks were completely helping Cheng Hetai speak, Chengshan understood it, but he was not reconciled.

"I think Tong's Group is a leading company in the chemical industry, and is also involved in the finance, real estate and imported consumer goods industries, so it is not suitable to join this small food processing. Moreover, this industry requires huge manpower and material resources, and it is very difficult to manage and control. Chengshan said.

"Do you think it's too small to open a bakery chain?" asked Tong Junwu.

"Yes. Chengshan nodded.

"Did he tell you how many chain stores he was going to open across the country?" asked Tong Junwu.

"More than 200. Seongsan replied.

"Is this still small?" Mr. Tong said.

"This is just their long-term goal, now that they have opened 5 stores in the urban area, they are already busy, how can they talk about more than 200?"

"Can you open up a food section in the new project section, choose some distinctive products, and open up sales through online shopping?" suggested Tong Junwu.

"I don't think it's a good fit. Chengshan rejected Tong Junwu's request. "It's not so easy to open up a new section, and now that the product is so single, there is no way to recommend it to customers, they should build their own online platform and do a good job in online marketing, and we don't need to worry about it. ”

Tong Junwu was silent when he heard this, Chengshan's tone became stronger and stronger, and he seemed to have no way to be a father.

"Okay, I know everything, you go back first. ”

Chengshan stood up and was about to go out, but Tong Junwu stopped him again. "Chengshan, I have the opportunity to take Li Runying to my home for dinner. ”

"Okay. Chengshan smiled slightly. "She's living in our house right now. ”

"What do you mean?" Tong Junwu was stunned for a moment.

So Chengshan told Tong Junwu that Li Runying was living in the villa arranged by Du Changying.

"Then why don't you get married soon?" As soon as Tong Junwu heard that Li Runying had lived in his villa, he thought that something had happened between Chengshan and Li Runying. However, young people are more open nowadays, and he can't say much, but he feels that this is a bit inappropriate. Now that the two have made their relationship clear and have moved to their own home, getting married early is the best choice.

"I think after a while, we'll settle down. Chengshan said.

Tong Junwu was a little surprised when he heard it, he couldn't understand what young people think now.

"There are many dreams at night, I advise you to start early. Tong Junwu said.

"Okay, I'll think about it seriously. After saying that, Chengshan pushed the door and went out.

When Chengshan went out, Tong Junwu's face became gloomy. He said everything in the group, and now Chengshan actually dares to point out his problems in person, and also says that other companies are money laundering, family management is chaotic, and small projects are not worth investing, many of these things have touched Tong Junwu's sore spots, and many words seem to be satirizing Tong's group.

Tong Junwu couldn't help but be a little upset, during the time he recognized Chengshan's father and son, he really believed in Chengshan very much, and he was also actively introducing his old friends to him, hoping that Chengshan could integrate into his own relationship circle, mingle with these old brothers, and take care of business in the future.

However, Chengshan did not grow up by his side after all, and although his temperament and personality are very similar to his own, there are still many places to run. Moreover, Chengshan's scholar was so angry, admitting death, coupled with his keen and meticulous observation and analysis ability, he actually found that there were so many problems with his partner, Tong Junwu really didn't know how to explain it to Chengshan.

"If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the person is observed, there will be no disciples, Chengshan, you are still too young!" Tong Junwu walked to the window and looked out the window, he felt that it was better to find a time to talk to Chengshan, otherwise he didn't know how many old friends he would offend, how could he rest assured that he would be able to hand over the operation of the business to him in the future.

At this time, I only heard the secretary knock on the door and enter. "Chairman, Mr. Du is looking for you. ”

"Let her in. Tong Junwu walked to the table and lit another cigarette.

"Brother Wu, are you here? I thought Chengshan was here too. Du Changying always behaved very cordially when he saw Tong Junwu.

"I just finished talking to him and he went back. What's the matter, you're looking for him?" Tong Junwu said.

"Yes, it's still the contract of Haonan Group, and they have proposed new amendments. I came to Chengshan and asked him to think of a way to come forward and talk again. Du Changying said.

"What the hell is going on with them? How many times has a contract been negotiated? Is it still over?" Tong Junwu was a little unhappy, he had always done things cleanly, and what had been finalized, why did he repeat it again and again?

"I don't know why, but I heard that this is what Tian Congchang meant. Du Changying said.

"How could he be interested in this contract?" Tong Junwu was a little surprised, he knew that Tian Congchang had never interfered in specific business, and always arranged for his subordinates to do it, and he didn't know why he was so concerned this time.

"I don't know, I guess it's because of the huge amount of money in this contract, he will pay special attention. Du Changying said. "However, Chengshan has already talked about it, and there is not much room for manoeuvre, so there shouldn't be too many problems. ”

"Okay, then let Chengshan have a good talk with them, but we are not allowed to reduce the price easily! After all, our profits are also very meager, and if we blindly agree to the other party's request, there is no way to guarantee our interests. Tong Junwu said.

"Got it, Brother Wu, don't worry, I'll arrange for Chengshan to do it. After speaking, Du Changying happily went to find Chengshan.
