rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 265 A multi-millionaire in two years

"Please do it from now on!"

Su Mei looked at the piece of paper in her hand, and then stretched out her hand to Chen Li.

"Hi~ It's true, I originally came here to pay New Year greetings, but it turns out I came here to collect payment."

Chen Li shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and shook Su Mei's hand.

He just came to wish Su Mei a happy New Year, but because Zhou Xiaoli was here, Zhou Xiaoli happened to mention this issue again, and then the girl called a lawyer in a rage.

Then the two parties drew up an agreement, and basically the investment was finalized.

Of course, today the two parties only reached a cooperation agreement on investment, and it will take a few days to formally sign the contract.

On the one hand, it was because they had to wait for the two people to transfer the money to their accounts, and on the other hand, it was because Chen Li was not even ready to sign the contract.

He really came to pay New Year greetings today!

Of course~ Chen Li was actually very happy that the matter was finalized, and he saved himself from having to make another trip later.

"Xiao Lizi, if you need help with anything in the future, just tell your sister directly."

"Don't beat around the bush and play tricks!"

Zhou Xiaoli also extended her hand to Chen Li. While shaking hands, the girl did not forget to complain.

Chen Li smiled. At this time, Zhou Xiaoli had almost no dissatisfaction with him.

Chen Li is actually quite experienced in dealing with the temperament of a young lady like Zhou Xiaoli.

There were quite a few rich girls who came to the nightclub where he worked in his previous life, so Chen Li had some experience in dealing with people with this kind of personality.

Say a few words at once, in the name of doing good for the other person, and try to make yourself feel more confident.

And tell the other party that those things are not called selfishness, but are called shareholders' obligations.

Then Zhou Xiaoli’s initial emotion disappeared in an instant!

However, everyone’s temper and personality are different, so you need different strategies when dealing with different people.

Just like Zhou Xiaoli~ overall she is actually a good girl.

She doesn't have some of the bad habits of those rich girls later on. At most, she may have been spoiled a little too much by her family.

This is normal. These days, wealthy families in China require their daughters to be rich and well-off. It’s good that Zhou Xiaoli doesn’t have many of the bad habits of other rich second generations.

This may have something to do with Zhou Xiaoli's good grades, and she gave up the opportunity to study abroad because of her mother's illness.

In the eyes of others, Zhou Xiaoli missed an opportunity, but in Chen Li's opinion, this may be one of the reasons why Zhou Xiaoli can still maintain her straightforward nature.

The best way to deal with Zhou Xiaoli is to be direct and say what you have to say.

You can be a little careful, but don't have bad intentions.

Just like Chen Li's solicitation of Zhou Xiaoli's investment this time, although he had some small thoughts of his own, in essence, Chen Li's move was actually a good intention.

Of course ~ this is the explanation Zhou Xiaoli's father gave her.

In fact, Chen Li really didn't think much about it. He was actually giving Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli an investment opportunity in exchange for smoother development in the early stage.

This in itself is actually a very normal business behavior. It's just that Chen Li didn't think it through clearly. Neither Zhou Xiaoli nor Su Mei are businessmen.

When ordinary people think about business, their thinking is actually different from that of businessmen.

If this investment had been made by other businessmen who were interested in Ideal Fried Chicken, they would probably have urged Chen Li to sign the contract on the day Chen Li proposed to buy shares.

But for ordinary people, what affects them most deeply is actually the relationship between friends.

The importance of the relationship, the character of the friend~ and whether this person is reliable or not!

As for how good this opportunity is? They are not businessmen, so they really don’t necessarily understand.

Just like at the beginning, Su Mei even thought that there was a problem with Chen Li's funds. Later, Chen Li explained it and Zhou Xiaoli's father explained it again before she finally figured it out.

And unlike Zhou Xiaoli, who was still a little emotional about Chen Li, Su Mei was very open-minded.

Everyone has their own value, and making reasonable use of your own value is the right choice in life.

So after Su Mei and Chen Li confirmed that they were just matchmaking, Su Mei made a decision happily.

Although her family can be considered a scholarly family, we are about to enter the new century, and there are not many people who really still hold the old ideas.

After obtaining the family's consent, Su Mei and Chen Li confirmed the investment. Even if Zhou Xiaoli did not participate, she would participate.

After all, there is a fried chicken restaurant next to the University of Foreign Studies, so Su Mei naturally knows whether the business is good or not.

"Okay~ From now on we will be our own!"

"If anything happens, I won't be polite."

"And I hope you can correct me if I do something wrong."

"Come on, put some gas in!"

Chen Li gave Zhou Xiaoli's hand and stretched it out with the palm facing down.

"Okay~ come on~ I will rely on you to earn my dowry money from now on!"

Zhou Xiaoli put her hand on the back of Chen Li's hand, and then looked at Su Mei.

"Okay~ But I said yes in advance!"

"Although I am now a shareholder of our Ideal Fried Chicken, if you ask for leave in the future, you must still follow the formal procedures."

Su Mei blinked at Chen Li, and then put her hand on the back of Zhou Xiaoli's hand.

Chen Li didn't care about this and directly agreed.

Some things are one thing to say, but another thing to do.

Chen Li believed that Su Mei would definitely provide herself with certain conveniences within her authority in the future.

Of course~ provided he doesn’t go too far!

"Come on~"

"Two~!"

"Three~!"

"come on!"

The three of them raised their hands at the same time and shouted in unison.

At this point, the first round of financing for Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant was announced as successful!

Okay~ Calling it financing is definitely an exaggeration. In short, Chen Li found two strong supports for himself.

Zhou Xiaoli~The daughter of a real estate group in Yanjing, her family is rich and powerful!

Although he is not considered a top rich man, Zhou Xiaoli's father invested in the real estate industry in his early years and owned many real estate stores and other inherent assets in Yanjing.

The most important thing is that his father has a wide range of contacts in the real estate industry, not only in Yanjing, but also in many places in China.

Su Mei is the new counselor at Yanjing International Studies University. Her family’s connections in the education department are extremely scary.

This connection mainly comes from Su Mei's grandfather. At that time, Su Mei's grandfather was a leader in the domestic education department. Of course, he has retired now.

But the connections his grandfather made back then have already spread all over the capital, and even all over the country.

So...ahem! Chen Li really regarded Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli as friends, so he was willing to give them an opportunity to invest in the ideal fried chicken chain.

Anyway, this matter has been settled.

Chen Li's ideal fried chicken chain received an investment of 200,000 yuan and two strong foreign aids.

What he paid was a total of 20% of the shares of the Ideal Fried Chicken chain.

In terms of value, Chen Li is definitely at a loss.

No one else knows how much the Ideal Chain Fried Chicken is worth, but Chen Li knows it best.

But Chen Li knew better that if he only relied on himself, it would be difficult for Ideal Fried Chicken to develop rapidly.

To put it bluntly, the 200,000 yuan in this investment is actually just a supplement. What Chen Li really wants is Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli.

Of course, this does not mean that the two hundred thousand is not important.

With these two hundred thousand, Chen Li could immediately recruit troops and start preparations for the next seventh, eighth and even more branches.

Within half a year, Chen Li will make Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant reach a certain scale. A year later, Ideal Fried Chicken Restaurant will leave Yanjing and start to bloom all over the country.

This is Chen Li's plan!

"Mr. Chen, are you exaggerating?"

After Zhou Xiaoli heard Chen Li's plan, she felt a little stupid.

She really didn't expect that Chen Li was really not kidding when he said he would open 200 branches this year!

Her father told her that the so-called 200 branches should be a gimmick created by Chen Li to get Zhou Xiaoli and Su Mei to agree to invest!

But now she and Su Mei have confirmed their investment, but Chen Li still said this when he told them about the future plans of the fried chicken restaurant.

Isn't this a gimmick? Is Chen Li really planning to do this?

"Yes~Chen Li!"

"It's not that simple to open two hundred stores a year."

"Although the investment in a fried chicken restaurant is not large, a store, including rent and equipment, costs at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."

"Two hundred stores, that's six million to ten million. Where do we have so much money?"

Su Mei was also confused by Chen Li's plan. How much would it cost to open two hundred stores?

"Yes! If it's hundreds of thousands, or even one million, I can probably get it done by asking my old man."

"But what you want is not hundreds of thousands, but millions or even tens of millions!"

"Chen Li, calm down!"

Zhou Xiaoli was more direct. The girl raised her hand and patted Chen Li on the head.

The meaning was obvious. She wanted to ask Chen Li if his head was broken.

"That's right~ Chen Li, we have confirmed the investment now, you don't need to use this"

Su Mei planned to persuade her again, but Chen Li could no longer listen. He was left speechless by these two people!

It was a good plan, but it was turned into a joke by these two people. Is it okay?

"Who said it costs RMB 30,000 to RMB 50,000 to open a store, and RMB 6 million to open 200 stores?"

"You two."

"Wait a minute, the King of Heaven is here today. It will cost you at least 6 million to open 200 stores."

"Chen Li, are your math scores so bad? How did you get into the University of Foreign Languages?"

Before Chen Li could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhou Xiaoli, the second shareholder. This bitch even started a personal attack.

However, after Chen Li stared at her, she felt that something was not right for some reason, so she stumbled over her words and looked at Chen Li and then Su Mei with a confused look.

At first, Su Mei looked confused, but soon she suddenly seemed to remember something and clapped her hands, causing Zhou Xiaoli next to her to tremble in fright.

"I know, it really doesn't take 10 million, or 6 million, or even much money to open 200 stores."

"What? Su Mei, why did you believe Chen Li's lies?"

"We just invested 200,000 yuan, and Chen Li wants to open 200 stores!"

"How can it be?"

Zhou Xiaoli obviously hasn't understood it yet. At this moment, her face is full of doubts and she looks a little silly.

"Xiao Li~ You only calculated the funds and expenses for opening a store, but you didn't calculate the profit after we open the store."

"Do you still remember when we had dinner with Chen Li a few years ago, he said that his fried chicken restaurant's monthly profit was around 20,000?"

"One store costs 20,000 a month, what about ten stores?"

Su Mei smiled and started to explain to Zhou Xiaoli, but Zhou Xiaoli didn't know whether she really didn't understand or was trying to get her around. Anyway, she didn't understand it for a while, so she replied with a naive smile.

"Two hundred thousand! But we don't have ten stores! Chen Li's fourth and fifth branches haven't opened yet."

"Pa~!"

Su Mei patted Zhou Xiaoli directly on the forehead, and then looked at Zhou Xiaoli helplessly.

"Xiao Li~ Why don't you understand yet?"

"Didn't we invest 200,000 yuan? Then this next month we will not only open two branches, we can open four more branches."

"Including the store in front, there will be ten stores."

"If the monthly income of ten stores is calculated as 20,000 yuan, then the income in March will be 200,000 yuan."

"Then we can open four more stores in April, bringing the number of stores to 14, and the monthly income will be 280,000."

"In the next month, we will be able to open five to six branches, with 20 stores, and a monthly income of 400,000 yuan."

"By analogy, the further time goes by, the more branches we have, the more revenue we make every month, and the faster we open branches."

"Although I haven't calculated exactly how long it will take, but if we really develop according to this theory, the two hundred branches mentioned by Chen Li really won't take much time."

"Xiao Li, there are two hundred branches! You can make four million in a month!"

"Pah~pah~pah!"

Su Mei became more and more excited and enthusiastic, and finally started to slap Zhou Xiaoli's long legs with her hands.

"Okay~ okay! Stop taking pictures."

"I understand what you mean. We just use the money we earn to continue to open branches, and then it will just snowball and grow slowly~!"

"Is that what you mean?"

Zhou Xiaoli asked Chen Li for the last sentence.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli suddenly lost the "arrogance" she had when she interrupted Chen Li's speech.

Mainly because she made a calculation in her mind. If she really opened 200 branches, her monthly income would be four million.

She has 10% of the shares, so her monthly income is 400,000? In a year, 4.8 million?

Even though Zhou Xiaoli is the daughter of a rich family, the second generation of rich people these days are not the second generation of rich people that came later.

The second generation of rich people can eat tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in one meal, buy a bag for hundreds of thousands, a suit of clothes for hundreds of thousands, and a good car for millions or even over 10 million.

But what about Zhou Xiaoli? Her pocket money now is only 5,000 yuan a month, and her internship salary is only a few hundred yuan a month.

Of course, if Zhou Xiaoli really wants to spend money, she can just ask her family for it.

But no matter what, 4.8 million is still a lot of money for the rich second generation these days.

After all, there are not even many millionaires these days, but she will soon make almost five millionaires a year.

She, Zhou Xiaoli, will become a multi-millionaire in two years!

"Ahem~finished?"

Chen Li looked helplessly at the two extremely excited people in front of him and shook his head.

As a result, when he shook his head, Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli immediately stared at him.

There was no way~ Who made Chen Li's shaking head seem to break the illusion of the two of them?

Yes~ Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli both thought that Chen Li shook his head to express his disapproval of Su Mei's previous words.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Su Mei tilted her head and couldn't figure out what she said wrong.

"Yes~ and also wrong!"

"The development plan I prepared is exactly what you said."

"But... things are not that simple."

"Opening two hundred stores requires more than just capital and equipment."

“And the store and staff!”

"For two hundred shops, we need two hundred storefronts."

"In addition, each store needs at least three employees, which is 600 people."

"Whether it's the facade or the recruitment and training of employees, it's all very troublesome."

"Moreover, not every store's revenue can reach the standard of 20,000."

"so."

"You can leave the store to me!"

Before Chen Li finished speaking, Zhou Xiaoli raised her hand and shouted.

"I may not be able to help much with employee training. After all, the training is mainly about making fried chicken."

"But with recruitment, I should be able to help."

"After all, my job is relatively easy, so I should be able to help with this!"

When the plan for two hundred branches was laid out, both Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli became a little uneasy.

Chen Li looked at the excited two people, a little speechless and helpless!
