National Tide 1980

When Ning Weimin returned to China this time, his career was developing quite smoothly. It should even be said that it was almost too good to be true.

The main reason is that it is easy to enjoy the shade against a big tree.

This is the era when foreign companies are most valued in the Republic.

Against this background, Pierre Cardin China Corporation continues to launch new business projects in the Republic, and both its main clothing business and its new businesses are developing rapidly.

So its weight is naturally becoming more and more important to both the official and the private sector.

As a result, as the fixed assets, investment amount, profitability, business types, and brand influence of Pierre Cardon China Corporation increased in the Republic, Ning Weimin also benefited a lot.

Not only is his personal status much more distinguished than in the past, but he will always gain extra convenience and respect when he acts in society in the name of the company.

The various public businesses and private transactions under his name have therefore shown a prosperous and prosperous scene.

Take Tan Gong Restaurant for example.

Although Zhang Shihui's personal ability is a bit lacking, it is not bad if this kid can follow Xiao's rules and follow Ning Weimin's orders without going out of style.

Especially at a very good time, this guy took advantage of Qinxing's retirement wave in the capital and hired veteran chefs who had retired from famous restaurants to Tan Gong Restaurant one after another.

On the other hand, they are also following Ning Weimin's approach, continuing to use Pierre Cardon's resources, and constantly sending Tan Palace chefs to Maxim Restaurant for internship training to learn the advantages of Western food.

As a result, with the continuous improvement of the strength of the kitchen, Tangong Head Office has further gained recognition from domestic and foreign customers, consolidated its position in the industry, and greatly increased its turnover and profits.

In addition, during the period when Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve were in Beijing to promote Pierre Cardin Company, Ning Weimin took them to frequent visits and got a lot of free advertising through reports from Chinese and foreign reporters, which also made the forum Gongfanzhuang takes advantage of marketing and publicity.

Therefore, with this comprehensive advantage, Tan Gong Restaurant took the opportunity to win the crown in the catering industry in Beijing.

This year, it seems to have become the first catering company in Beijing with a monthly turnover exceeding one million yuan, and it is expected that the annual turnover can break the tens of millions yuan ceiling.

For example, the dim sum shop on the first floor of the two-story building outside the North Gate of the Temple of Heaven has a long queue in front of the door almost every day before it opens.

As soon as the door opened at midnight, people crowded in, like a bank run, and the large glass at the door was broken several times.

The restaurant above the small building is not only full before dinner time, but a table must be turned over at least four times a day.

Even Beishen Chef’s banquet department doesn’t have a few free days throughout the year.

For this reason, Zhang Shihui felt deeply that the business area was insufficient, and had already begun planning to build on this small building.

So it's entirely possible to say. Tan Gong Restaurant has completely overtaken Beihai Fangshan and Tingli Restaurant in the Summer Palace, firmly taking the top spot in palace cuisine. It has become the first choice place for various foreign-related departments in the capital to hold banquets, and a must-visit place for business banquets with foreigners in Beijing. place.

When it comes to the ability to make money, whether it is the famous Mingzhu Seafood Restaurant, the Maxim Restaurant, the most expensive French restaurant, or the Tan Family Cuisine in the Capital Hotel, they are all left behind.

Needless to say, such results not only proved that Ning Weimin had the "knowledge of people", but also completely silenced those who originally opposed his promotion of Zhang Shihui.

Moreover, the cigarette shop co-founded by Zhang Shihui and Ning Weimin has certainly benefited greatly from this, and has received a lot of benefits.

You know, their Huimin Cigarette Hotel now supplies almost all tobacco, alcoholic drinks and canned food to Tiantan Yuanfang and Tangong Restaurant, and its shipments can account for almost half of the shipments of Manager Huang’s Sugar Industry Tobacco and Liquor Branch. Four percent.

On average, the daily income from this alone is as high as 3,000 yuan.

This does not include the profits from the recycling of tobacco and alcohol and daily retail sales that Sister Tan is responsible for.

What is this called?

This is called relying on the mountains to feed the mountains, relying on the water to feed the people, enriching one's own pockets openly and engaging in crony enterprises.

While Ning Weimin made a success of the company, he also made a success of himself.

If it were to be replaced by Hardman, I'm afraid this kid would have to take over an entire district's construction site to barely reach Ning Weimin's profit level of just lying down and making money.

Even Zhang Shihui no longer blames Ning Weimin for not playing with him when he speculated on stamps.

Not to mention his goal of "stopping after making tens of thousands" in front of his wife.

Even when he followed Ning Weimin's footsteps in donating toilets and setting up a book club, he was not forced at all and did so willingly.

For no other reason than because of Tuoning Weimin's blessing, he has become a real "rich man". He can't even spend his own salary, let alone tens of thousands of extra dollars a month.

Such a prosperous life has long exceeded his imagination, and there is so much money that he can't even spend it all.

Apart from wasting money to show off his face and earn some more fame for himself, he couldn't think of a better future.

Anyway, he has decided that having a friend like Ning Weimin is his greatest blessing in this life.

As long as you listen to Ning Weimin, you must be right. Do whatever he asks, obey the orders and follow the instructions.

That's not all. The scenery here in Beijing is not unique.

Even Du Yang and Pan Long's visit to the Tan Gong Restaurant branch opened in Chengde went smoothly, and the news they received back was surprising enough.

Originally, these two people were still scratching their heads when they arrived in Chengde after the New Year.

I feel that the reputation of Tan Gong Restaurant is limited to the capital city. For those who are not familiar with the place, I am afraid that it is not so easy to establish local connections.

Their original plan was actually to find a similar location outside the main gate of Li Zheng of the Summer Resort, set up the stall first, and then start work on those who are capable.

Unexpectedly, although the reputation of Tan Gong Restaurant has not spread beyond the capital, the name of Pierre Cardin Company has become famous throughout the country through Xinwen Network advertisements.

People in Chengde actually knew that there was a Pierre Cardin store in the capital, and knew that it was a big-name clothing brand from France, and the clothes it sold were the best and most expensive in the country.

So because one of the shareholders of Tan Gong Restaurant is this French company, and it wants to invest up to 2 million yuan in Chengde.

As a result, they went through the business procedures locally, and when they went to the yamenmen to pay homage to the pier, they were valued and welcomed by the local government and the tourism department.

Moreover, since Tan Gong Restaurant has achieved astonishing success in the capital, and Du Yang himself came from the service bureau, he is no stranger to the difficulties and obstacles within the system. Du Yang and Pan Long talked with these local cadres , dealt with it very appropriately.

They successfully seized the opportunity to explain their future business plans in Chengde in further detail.

In this way, we finally gained the full trust and strong support of the local tourism bureau, and with their help, we signed a ten-year cooperation agreement with the Mountain Resort.

Specifically, the two of them, on behalf of Tan Gong Restaurant, offered 30% of the future total revenue of the Chengde branch and a promise to create no less than 200 local jobs in Chengde in the next two years.

As well as a dozen Pierre Cardin ties, belts, and six suits that were quickly allocated from the capital at internal prices as gifts.

In exchange for the right to use Wanshuyuan in the scenic area, the operating rights of a state-owned hotel outside Lizheng Gate, and the concession to sell snacks and handicrafts in the scenic area.

This deal was really well negotiated and made a lot of money!

Don't underestimate the conditions offered by the Summer Resort.

Where is this Ten Thousand Trees Garden?

It is within the scenic area, close to the east gate of the Summer Resort, to the west is the "Nanshan Snow", the 13th scene of the Thirty-Six Scenic Spots of Kangxi, to the east overlooks the beautiful and steep Qingchui Peak with Danxia landform, and to the north is Yongyou Temple, Liuhe Pagoda is a good place in the south of Rehe Spring Scenic Area.

The area is larger than that of Beishenchu, and it is only one kilometer away from the park management office. It is very convenient to deal with the park management and build a good relationship.

This means that when Du Yang and Pan Long came to Chengde to build a store, their starting point was much higher than that of Ning Weimin.

Moreover, we can completely take advantage of this good start, taking into account both the inside and outside of the scenic spot, and perfectly replicate the operation mode of the Tan Palace Restaurant in Beijing that combines banquets and casual seating.

Considering that the main store of Tan Palace Restaurant is fully recognized by Chinese and foreign people, and the Summer Resort receives up to 3 million Chinese and foreign tourists every year, especially the number of foreign tourists is increasing rapidly every year.

So it can be optimistically predicted that the Tangong branch in Chengde will not be able to compensate. At most, it will just be a matter of making more or less.

To put it bluntly, within a few months or as much as half a year, Tan Gong Restaurant should be able to grow a third money tree.

The last thing that can be confirmed is that although the country has monopoly regulations on tobacco and alcohol, Ning Weimin cannot sell tobacco and alcohol here to make a profit.

However, the handicrafts such as utensils and silk figures that he personally operates can go directly to Chengde in the future and use the Summer Resort as a sales platform.

So, the plans Ning Weimin made for Pierre Cardon were not just making wedding clothes for others like a fool.

He knew this in his mind. Since he had been making a living in the name of the company, it would be a good thing if the company grew.

Even if no one rewards him or thanks him for it, it doesn't matter.

Because in the end, his efforts and achievements for the company will always become his personal harvest in a special way at a special moment, allowing him to personally share the benefits.

But to be honest, although Pierre Cardon's light has a lot of help and bonus effect on the business development of Tan Gong Restaurant, the effect is not the most significant.

In fact, for Ning Weimin to negotiate two important deals with the government, the pilcaton brand can provide the most help, even if pilcaton company has no knowledge of these two matters.

Because to be honest, the TV drama production center was so generous that it directly decided to sell the overseas copyright of "Dream of Red Mansions" to Ning Weimin personally.

In addition to feeling that the price he offered was appropriate, Director Huo's favor and face were also there.

Part of the reason is also due to recognition of the strength and credibility of Pierre Cardon, a multinational company.

I think back when the crew of "Journey to the West" came to Pierre Cardin Company to "beg for help", Ning Weimin helped the crew of "Journey to the West" successfully solve the funding problem in the name of Pierre Cardon Company, and he did an extremely good job.

Even to this day, the exhibitions he held in the Temple of Heaven are still generating a steady stream of revenue for Pierre Cardin Company, the Temple of Heaven Park and the Journey to the West crew.

For this reason, the TV series "Journey to the West" has not yet been completed, but it has already become a TV series that is sure to make money without losing money.

So much so that Director Yang, who no longer feels short of money, has decided to find all the dramas that were originally cut and continue filming.

We also plan to purchase some advanced special effects equipment from foreign countries to improve the special effects of previous dramas.

So for this meritorious service, the TV Drama Production Center has long wanted to say thank you to Ning Weimin.

Not to mention that they have a leader who also tried his best to imitate his method to solve the investment of the "Four Generations Under One Roof" crew, but failed miserably.

The lessons learned from this matter made the TV drama production center feel that Ning Weimin had extraordinary abilities and was not an ordinary person.

But having said that, compared to valuing personal abilities, people within the system are certainly more willing to believe in the power of organizations and groups.

Therefore, in the eyes of those at the TV drama production center, Ning Weimin's background and resume are much more important than his ability to do things.

After all, Ning Weimin himself is a senior executive of Pierre Cardon, and Pierre Cardon also has a branch in Japan.

This background allows him to continuously receive intangible and tangible support from Pierre Cardon Company in all aspects even when he is overseas. This is the TV series production company's greatest source of confidence in Ning Weimin.

Otherwise, no matter how capable Ning Weimin is, they will worry that Ning Weimin is weak and unable to get things done abroad.

After all, they sell overseas copyrights not only to make money, but also to export and promote culture.

We cannot only consider economic benefits but not social benefits and international influence.

To put it bluntly, it was because Ning Weimin met their requirements in all aspects, regardless of finance, ability, background, and resources, that they could rest assured that they would reject the NHK TV buyer and agree to Ning Weimin's request.

In this transaction, the credit endorsement played by Pilkington Company invisibly for Ning Weimin cannot be ignored or underestimated.

In addition, with the help of Director Huo, Ning Weimin also made significant progress in acting as an intermediary for domestic travel agencies and cooperating with Japan's Yamato Tourism Co., Ltd. to develop tourism projects.

After the National Day in 1986, after receiving official approval, Ning Weimin quickly contacted the president of Yamato Tourism.

To this end, the vice president of Yamato Tourism received the highest authorization and brought six senior executives of Yamato Tourism to China to discuss relevant matters.

Domestic travel agencies also attach great importance to it.

Although the largest CITS head office was too pretentious to participate, Youth International Hotel and Beijing CITS, which is affiliated with the Beijing Tourism Bureau, participated with great enthusiasm and great expectations.

In the end, the three parties signed a preliminary agreement and decided to develop new tourism projects in China for Japanese guests, with various themes of ancient Chinese capitals and palace culture, and Beijing, Shenyang, Chengde, and Xi'an as the main tourist destinations.

After agreeing on each other's responsibilities and obligations, the next step is of course to carry out detailed work.

If all goes well, it is expected to be officially launched on the market next spring.

In this business meeting, although Yamato Tourism valued Ning Weimin personally.

But the two hotels in the country are undoubtedly still aiming at the light of Picardon that shrouds him, otherwise they would not easily believe that he can accomplish such a big thing at such a young age.

In short, for Ning Weimin, there is no doubt that he has broken through the shackles of ordinary people and has learned the secret and beauty of taking advantage of the situation.

In the shopping mall, it was precisely because of the goodwill of Pierre Cardon Company and the method of borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas that he was able to achieve great things that ordinary people could not do.

Because of this, his voice and weight in the mall are increasing day by day.

In comparison, everything he gained from these things was able to successfully complete his main business plan for returning home this time. In fact, the connection with whether he is a born-again person is not that close.

So from this perspective, it is indeed Pierre Cardon that created him, and even he himself cannot deny this.

I even asked myself, among the projects he set up a book club, established monuments for old craftsmen, and collaborated with the Agricultural University, which one of them has not left the light given to him by Pierre Cardon?

It can be said that compared with personal ability, the ability to successfully gain the attention and trust of others is the necessary foundation for truly achieving success.

It's a pity that no matter how big your backer is, you can't do everything.

Even though Ning Weimin's career is as rosy as a flower, he can't get the kind of support from the company that can help him emotionally as he can in his career.

What's more, there are some problems and contradictions that even the world's largest companies cannot resolve. This is why in life, there are always some things that will become unforgettable regrets.

Frankly speaking, because of Chang Yuling's sudden death, Ning Weimin's original arrangements for announcing his marriage were disrupted.

The life-long event between him and Matsumoto Keiko had to be kept secret because of many things that came up out of thin air.

Ning Weimin felt quite guilty about this. He felt that he had failed to keep his words and had disappointed Matsumoto Keiko. He was especially sorry for his lover.

Especially when he became more busy with official duties afterwards, but Matsumoto Keiko became more tolerant and showed no complaints, the more guilty he felt.

So when the time entered early winter, Ning Weimin himself felt that it would be too shameful to delay their affairs any longer, so he took the time to put down his work.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Shanghai and Shanghai scenes of "Li Xianglan" were finished and the South Road crew returned to the capital, he asked Zhang Shihui to prepare a temporary table at Tan Gong Restaurant, planning to complete the most important part of his life here - he would personally Bring Matsumoto Keiko and Kang Shude to meet and formally announce their marriage to the old man.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be something that he originally thought was foolproof and everyone should be happy.

Actually, because of his poor thinking, something went wrong, and what was originally a good thing turned into a bad thing that disappointed everyone.

To be honest, if compared with unrequited love that is destined to be unrequited, this seemingly perfect love encounters worldly pressure and numerous obstacles in reality, resulting in two people who love each other unable to get married.

That is probably the most helpless and depressing thing. (End of chapter)
