Chapter 68: Almost Broken
After waiting in the lobby for nearly half an hour, Su Zhe received a call from Li Quan, saying that he had just opened completely.
Li Quan came out of the elevator, and Su Zhe found that his face was a little dark.
"Brother Li, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, it's all business. Li Quan sighed.
"Ruiyue Jewelry wants to expand into new markets, and we currently have three branches in Kuncheng City, with a total of 159 branches across the country. Originally, it was not planned to expand for the time being, but according to the plan, the earliest opening of the store will be in June next year. ”
Su Zhe has never managed a company, but he studied economics, and he is both unfamiliar and familiar with marketing. Shen said: "Brother Li, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking"
Li Quan's chin was slightly raised, and he motioned for Su Zhe to ask.
"Ruiyue can't be connected with funds? A jewelry store, if the place is a little larger, in a first-tier city, its decoration fee is between 200,000 and 400,000 yuan, plus the management personnel, 1 million can be obtained. How big is the profit of jewelry, Brother Li, you know better than me, according to Ruiyue's strong capital, it is not worse than one million."
Li Quan smiled, patted Su Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are really not a name for yourself."
Su Zhebai glanced at him, he had only occasionally missed class recently, and he was a good student in school before. Even now, what he often lacks is Yuan Shiying's English class, and the old man's class adds up to five classes.
"In fact, the cost of decoration and management personnel is not worse than that million, in today's society, the competitiveness is getting bigger and bigger, and it is a good thing to open a few more branches and stabilize the brand. Even if this store loses money, it can be made up for by another store because of the brand effect. ”
This Su Zhe naturally understands that many brands claim to have many stores in the country, in fact, how can each one make money. However, because of the brand effect, it will create an illusion for consumers. All things being equal, most consumers still prefer things from big brands.
Consumers are not operators, and they don't know whether a company is making or making a profit. What consumers need is excellent product quality, and even if there is a problem, after-sales service can satisfy them.
Li Quanwei sighed, "There are many reasons for not opening a branch, one is that I haven't found a suitable place for the time being, and the second is that Ruiyue won a real estate not long ago and is under construction." This project is more important, to ensure that the funds can keep up, so as not to fall off the chain, and finally the jewelry store can be opened, but there are not so many jewels"
Su Zhe was a little strange: "Brother Li, you have a processing master to process all kinds of jewelry, necklaces, bracelets, and pendants for this jewelry, how can it not be supplied?"
Li Quan smiled and shook his head, "Brother, you don't understand this." Jewelry is someone who can do the processing, but if you think about it, jewelry needs raw materials. Usually we gamble on stones, and from time to time we will open a high-end jadeite, but the consumer market of jewelry is too big, a high-end jadeite, do you think it can meet the needs of many customers?"
Su Zhe will understand.
The profits of jewelry are very attractive, and with many people now having a few loose coins on hand and occasionally buying one or two luxury items, the market is not in sufficient supply.
Low-grade jadeite is easy to come out, but Ruiyue has always been positioned in the middle and high-end position. Nowadays, jadeite mining in Myanmar is becoming less and less, and it is not as convenient as in earlier years to get jadeite raw materials. Even if there is a stock, the jadeite merchants in Myanmar will raise the price according to the needs of the market.
The gambling stones of opening a jewelry store are not for no reason, and the meaning is different from buying them from others.
didn't discuss too much on this issue, Su Zhe talked about Lin Ba's appointment to ask him to gamble on Shihe Street tomorrow.
"I knew that Lin Yuanming, that guy wouldn't let us earn two million so easily!" Li Quan scolded.
Lin Ba specially designated to go to the casino on Shihe Street, and Su Zhe also guessed that it was inseparable from Lin Yuanming.
Li Quan spat out a puff of smoke and asked, "Brother, what do you mean, will you go tomorrow?"
Su Zhe recalled the painful expression on Ma Xiaoyue's face in his mind, sighed slightly and said, "Go ahead." However, in terms of gambling money, it is at least 20 million. ”
Li Quan's brows furrowed: "So much, Lin Yuanming's uncle and nephew are ready to go back ten times the pit we won!"
Su Zhe smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, I proposed the gambling of 20 million. "It's true that Lin Ba is Lin Yuansheng's son, for Lin Yuansheng's Mingcheng jewelry, there are definitely 20 million, but whether Lin Ba can take it out is another matter.
Once Lin Ba can't scrape together 20 million gambling funds, and he will play prestige in front of him in the future, Su Zhe can take the opportunity to lose his face.
"If you can't withdraw the money you have for the time being, I'll have someone bring it to you when you get back 20 million. ”
Li Quan didn't ask Su Zhe if he was sure that he would borrow money if he won, and Su Zhe was very moved when he listened. Since entering the circle of gambling stones, changing his and Xia Ke's lives is the most important point, and the other point is that he thinks that Li Quan, a friend who is also a brother and friend.
He also said that Ruiyue had a big project under construction, so he didn't hesitate to borrow money from Su Zhe. If you don't really think of it as your own brother, it is estimated that not many people will do this.
"I still have 20 million on hand, but when we go to the casino tomorrow, we will try to show that you lent me this money. ”
Li Quan doesn't understand very well, borrowing and giving out by himself doesn't seem to have much meaning.
Su Zhe sighed slightly: "Brother Li, think about it, if the opponent knows that the money is yours, he may be in a weak position on the card, and he will choose not to follow." You can take out 20 million at will, and if you lose all of it, you will still lose yourself. ”
"But if you borrow this money from someone else, it is a little worse on the board, maybe the opponent is thinking in his heart, you are borrowing this money, I stud, you have concerns. ”
Li Quan laughed, "I didn't expect my brother to be good at economics and psychology to be inferior." ”
After discussing the matter of tomorrow's gambling contract, Li Quan still had something at hand, and Su Zhe didn't bother anymore.
When I got home, I smelled a fragrance from a distance, which made Su Zhe, who hadn't had time to eat lunch, drool.
"I'm back!"
Su Zhe shouted, but no one answered.
Su Zhe changed into slippers, walked to the kitchen, and saw Xia Ke wearing an apron and cooking seriously. Su Zhe quietly walked over and hugged her waist from behind.
"Ahh
Xia Ke was startled and screamed out, and the spatula in his hand almost fell off. Seeing that it was Su Zhe, he looked nervous.
Su Zhe didn't figure out the situation, and a voice came from behind:
"What's wrong?"
Then Su Yu's beautiful figure ran out.
Seeing Su Zhe appear, Su Yucheng was stunned. Seeing Su Zhe and Xia Ke's posture at this time, he couldn't help but blurt out, "You"
Su Zhe hurriedly let go of the hands around Xia Ke's waist, and pretended to be very calm on his face: "I just came back and saw my sister-in-law's apron unwrapped, so I tied it back for her." I didn't expect my sister-in-law to focus too much on cooking, which scared her. ”
Xia Ke's face was red, and his chest was breathing quickly because of tension. After taking Su Zhe's words, he sneered: "This guy, just like a child, will play this kind of trick from time to time. I'm afraid he'll be scared out of my mind if he does this again!"
Su Zhe scratched his head, revealing an embarrassed expression.
Su Yucheng glanced at Xia Ke's face a few times, a little suspicious, but he didn't think in too complicated directions.
Su Zhe was afraid that Su Yucheng would see something, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Sister, why did you suddenly come here today?"
As he spoke, he exited the kitchen.
Su Yucheng came out, brushed his hair, and had a shallow smile on his mouth: "You said that you wanted to cook and invite my sister to dinner, I waited for several days and didn't see your invitation, so I had the cheekiness to come over to eat." ”
Su Zhe had an apologetic look on his face: "The flower shop has been busy these days, and the old man of the economy has gone crazy for some reason, and he has arranged a lot of homework, and he is almost out of luck." ”
Su Yucheng knew that Xia Ke was going to open a flower shop, and now he was in the renovation stage. According to the time of renovation, it is estimated that it will be able to open next month. Looking at Su Zhe's appearance, he pursed his lips and chuckled: "Sister is joking with you." When I met a customer in the morning, I happened to pass by Seawall Bay, so I came to talk to Xia Ke for the next day. You think my sister is really coming to you, but it's another smelly beauty!"
Su Zhe cooperated with Su Yucheng's words, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems that my charm is still not as great as my sister-in-law's."
Su Yucheng smiled.
At this time, Xia Ke came out of the kitchen to signal that it was okay to eat, and Su Zhe walked into the kitchen to help serve the food.
"Ke'er, why didn't Sister Su call me when she came over?" Su Zhe whispered in Xia Ke's ear. With the nervousness of the scene of Shicai, Xia Ke hurriedly turned his head and saw Su Yucheng setting dishes and chopsticks outside. The beautiful eyes glared at Su Zhe slightly upward, "I originally wanted to call you, but then I forgot about it when I started cooking, who knew that you would suddenly be like that"
Su Zhe also secretly shouted danger.
Usually, only Su Zhe and Xia Ke eat, but suddenly there is one more Su Yucheng, and the meal is happy.
After eating, Su Yucheng didn't sit for long before he took a phone call and said that the company would leave if there was something to do.
The next day, Su Zhe and Li Quan went to the appointment as scheduled.
Su Zhe knew very well in his heart that Lin Yuanming and Lin Ba's two uncles and nephews would definitely make small moves in secret. But they were mindful that they would lose badly today, because they ran into Su Zhe.
The gambling method is to play stud, and this Su Zhe has no opinion. Compared to other gambling methods, stud is the most exciting in the case of high stakes.
Knowing that today was an unfair gamble, Su Zhe had no choice.
