The Era of Hard Work

In the secluded rest area of ​​the Crown Hotel lobby, Zhang Tao sat in front of a small round table. He couldn't help but look at Lu Dong and Song Na across from him. It wasn't because of anything else, they were too young.

After his subordinate suggested that day, even though he first considered the real estate company, Zhang Tao still let people know about Lu Dong.

Among other things, the information on the surface is quite clear.

These two people are 21 years old, self-made, not counting those second-generation figures, in Quannan's age group, there are probably not many people who are richer than them.

The chain stores of Lu's Catering Company founded by Lu Dong spread all over the province. In the important cities in the neighboring provinces of Taidong, there are also stores opening one after another. Not too much.

That Song Na started her business since she was in school, mainly engaged in women's accessories, and chain stores have also started to go out of Taidong. In Taidong's civilian jewelry industry, it can be regarded as the most famous brand, and its net worth is estimated to be tens of millions.

In two years, Zhang Tao was a little impressed by the sudden emergence.

It's just a little bit of admiration, after all, the Sanlian family has a big business, and the Sanlian Building of Shanximen's headquarters, in Zhang Tao's eyes, is on top of Lu's Catering Company.

What's more, there are so many stores under Sanlian, the Sunshine Shuncheng Community that is basically sold out, and a real estate company that is about to be established.

In the face of Lu's Catering, Sanlian is not a giant, but it is more than one step ahead of Quannan Taidong business circle.

Like many company leaders, a strong company brings great psychological advantages.

Song Na didn't know Zhang Tao, so she didn't talk too much. She just stayed by Lu Dong's side and listened to the two of them say a few polite words.

"Mr. Lu, let me tell you something that both of us can benefit from." Zhang Tao took the lead in getting to the point, but was straightforward: "How about the cooperation between Lu's Catering and Sanlian?"

Lu Dong still said the same thing: "Sanlian is mainly in home appliances, and Lu's is in catering. The two industries are too different."

Zhang Tao tilted his head slightly, looked at Lu Dong, probably because he had a psychological advantage, and said directly: "If you can cooperate with Guangmei Electric, you can also cooperate with Sanlian."

This is not the first time someone in Sanlian has proposed cooperation in person. Lu Dong didn't want to get entangled, so he declined: "Mr. Zhang, the matter of cooperation should be discussed in the long term."

Compared with the previous two years, Lu Dong's cultural literacy and Mandarin level have improved significantly.

But Zhang Tao said: "Mr. Lu, don't refuse in a hurry. Listen to me first." Without waiting for Lu Dong's response, he said: "In my opinion, although Mr. Lu's company is full of vitality, its business is rather single. If companies want to grow bigger, they all pay attention to cross-industry comprehensive development, and I have an opportunity here to allow Mr. Lu's company to achieve cross-industry development."

Song Na squinted at Lu Dong, who smiled and said, "Lu's Catering hasn't even laid a solid foundation in the catering industry, so it's too early to talk about cross-industry development."

Zhang Tao said again: "Boss Lu, listen to me."

Lu Dong simply stopped interrupting.

"The last time we met at the sports center, I remember saying that Sanlian wanted to set up a real estate company."

Although meeting Lu Dong here was accidental, Zhang Tao had already made preparations and considered some things in detail, of course from the perspective of the general manager of Sanlian: "The real estate project is promising, why don't the two of us cooperate in the real estate company. "

He is full of confidence: "Sanlian has successfully operated Sunshine Shun City, and the real estate project has accumulated enough capital. Mr. Lu probably doesn't know that Sanlian has already obtained an excellent land, and it will be developed when Sanlian Real Estate Company is established! "

Hearing these words, Song Na suddenly remembered something. After the first dividend was paid out last year, the big guys met to buy a house together. Lu Dong specially reminded them to avoid the real estate projects developed by Sanlian.

Obviously, due to reasons she didn't understand, Lu Dong had doubts about Sanlian's real estate project.

Although they didn't officially live together, they were the closest people after all. Song Na could vaguely sense that Lu Dong had always had a prejudice against Sanlian.

Zhang Tao dared to say these words, because recently, Sanlian's real estate company and real estate projects have become hot spots in the Quannan business district, and there are many people who want to participate in the investment.

Therefore, he felt that it would not be difficult to catch Lu Dong with the real estate company as bait.

It can't be said to be fishing, it's cooperation, mutual benefit.

Zhang Tao never stopped talking: "The first project of Sanlian Real Estate, focusing on high-end villas and residences, will create the first top-level luxury residential area in Quannan, and it will be the benchmark of Quannan Real Estate in the future!"

As far as he is concerned, he believes that this project is bound to be successful and extremely profitable, because Quannan has no similar projects at present, and it can be said that there are no competitors: "Mr. Lu, are you interested?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you confirmed the name of the project you're talking about?"

"If you are not at ease, you can go to the Housing and Construction Committee to check. I believe that with Mr. Lu's ability, it is not difficult." Zhang Tao laughed: "The project is located next to Caishi Mountain, called Caishi Villa."

Quarry Hill! It's called Quarry Villa! Lu Dong suddenly felt a sense of confusion.

This real estate project used to be so famous that even a person like him who didn't know much about the real estate industry had heard too much news.

The largest unfinished project in Quannan at one time robbed all the assets of thousands of Quannan families, triggering a ten-year upward tide. Crowds would come several times a year to cut off the Quannan Road Pedestrian Street, making Sanlian a stinky street in Quannan. At the same time, Sanlian really came to an end, and was eventually acquired by Guangmei.

The sense of confusion comes from another memory impression of Lu Dong. It used to be after 2003. Why did it appear now?

But in the moment of astonishment in his mind, Lu Dong roughly guessed the possibility.

He didn't know who the top executives of Sanlian used to be. He also didn't know how fierce the competition between Sanlian and Guangmei in the home appliance market was like strangling.

One thing is certain, perhaps because of his involvement, the development speed of Guangmei Electric in Quannan and even Taidong is definitely faster than before, and may even be much faster.

As a result, as a direct competitor, Sanlian Appliances is facing tremendous pressure.

Mu Kun said before that the general manager Zhang Tao had just taken up the post of general manager in Sanlian, and was originally in charge of the real estate project of Sunshine Sun City.

Lu Dong could not help guessing that it was his fault.

After all, there are lessons learned from the past, not to mention Lujia Village, Qingzhao and University Town are not what they vaguely remembered.

Come back and do a lot of things.

Intentionally or unintentionally, many people have been saved.

Along with personal and company development, directly or indirectly participate in many business and social activities.

It was not obvious at the beginning, and it was only limited to Lujia Village. After nearly three years, there are too many people and too many things that may be different from before.

Because a variable called Lu Dong was added in the middle.

Zhang Tao is not familiar with Lu Dong. Seeing Lu Dong thinking, he would have completely misunderstood, thinking that Lu Dong was moved, and further said: "If Mr. Lu's company wants to invest in Sanlian Real Estate as a shareholder, Sanlian will definitely Priority consideration! I can tell President Lu that Sanlian is going public, and once the listing is successful, the value of the shares in hand may be multiplied many times."

Lu Dong restrained his thoughts: "Mr. Zhang, let me ask you a question, what is the price?"

Zhang Tao seems to be very considerate of Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu's company is expanding its market outside the province, and the capital chain must be a little tight. I have a good idea. Mr. Lu, why don't you convert some stores into cash and hand them over to Sanlian to serve as investment in real estate companies."

Let alone Lu Dong, even Song Na understood.

Lu Dong was very straightforward: "The store Mr. Zhang mentioned, shouldn't it be the store of Lu's Catering next to Ginza and Guangmei?"

Zhang Tao smiled: "That's right, these are the shops."

Lu Dong also laughed: "Mr. Zhang doesn't want to enter the catering industry, but wants to fight against Guangmei?"

Song Na thought about it for a while, because Wenxin Trading has stores in almost all Ginza shopping malls, and she is very familiar with the stores of Lu's Catering and the three alliances of Ginza and Guangmei. It is a big store.

Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine Zhang Tao's purpose.

If Sanlian gets these stores, it will definitely be closed, and then the three stores will be merged into one and become a Sanlian home appliance store, which will be in direct confrontation with Guangmei Home Appliances next door or on the first floor!

"The home appliance industry is Sanlian's basic market." Although Zhang Tao wants to open up new businesses for Sanlian, he also understands the importance of the home appliance market to Sanlian at this stage: "It is impossible for Sanlian to give up Taidong's home appliance market to Guangmei."

"I know that your store next to Ginza and Guangmei can be called a cash cow. Sanlian will not let Mr. Lu suffer. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we will ask a third party to do an evaluation. Sanlian will definitely satisfy Mr. Lu. bid!"

Zhang Tao attaches great importance to developing new businesses, but has not neglected the main business: "This is not a price, but a mutually beneficial cooperation. Lu's Catering will transfer all the stores integrated with Ginza and Guangmei in the province to Sanlian Appliances, which will be converted into the shares of Sanlian Real Estate. "

He tapped the small round table with his finger: "Mr. Lu, real estate is the sunrise industry in the future! Investing in this industry is now the best opportunity, and Sanlian is the best partner. Among the old brands and old enterprises in Quannan, who else is better?" Sanlian is more appealing?"

"Sanlian and I are not empty-handed wolves. I heard that Mr. Lu's hometown is called Lujia Village, right? There is a construction engineering company that specializes in construction business. When the Quarry Villa project starts, a considerable part of the project can be outsourced to Mr. Lu’s hometown company. Mr. Lu doesn’t have to worry, because I know that the main body of your village’s company was formerly Qingzhao’s No. 3 Construction Company, which has an outstanding reputation and the quality of the projects it makes! Mr. Lu, this is a project worth at least hundreds of millions!”

Lu Dong didn't speak for the time being, because Zhang Tao's words were quite sincere when discussing the facts.

Even Song Na couldn't help but glance at Zhang Tao, because Lu Dong told her more than once that the real estate market might rise sharply in the future. According to this calculation, the conditions offered by Sanlian are not empty-handed.

Give up some stores, get absolute benefits, and then sit and watch Guangmei and Sanlian fight to the death?
