The Era of Hard Work

Quannan, Sophia Hotel, in a high-rise luxury suite.

He Quanzhong, who had just attended a luncheon in the Quannan Merchants System, came back smelling of alcohol, entered the room and sat down on the thick sofa, not wanting to move, as if he was still in the midst of the stars .

At the banquet, a bunch of people were holding hands, and people kept toasting, as if the center of the world.

He Quanzhong has only one feeling, with a large amount of foreign exchange in his hand, he can do whatever he wants.

The phone rang, and the assistant behind him picked up the phone and connected it. After saying a few words, he covered the receiver and said softly, "Mr. He, this is Mr. Bai from Shuntai Investment."

He Quanzhong took the phone, cleared his throat with a light cough, and then said, "Mr. Bai, long time no see..."

This is the boss of Shuntai Investment. He Quanzhong met him after he came to Quannan. His business model is mainly to absorb private funds at high interest rates, and then make investments to make profits. He once borrowed part of the funds in a short period of time, and he has relatively close contacts with the other party.

Without him, Shun Tai invests and absorbs private funds, and there is a large amount of cash flow that can be deployed, and it may be used at any time.

On the phone, Boss Bai asked He Quanzhong to have dinner together in the evening. Although he just drank a lot at noon, He Quanzhong still agreed.

Seeing that it was still early, and he didn't want to go to the company today, the acquired cotton spinning and printing and dyeing factories were under management, so He Quanzhong went to the bedroom, found another mobile phone, and made a call.

"Boss." The voice on the other side was respectful.

He Quanzhong asked: "Is your side going well?"

"Successful!" The voice also had a crooked tone: "There are too many people who can use this side as cover, and there are many people who like it."

He Quanzhong warned: "You still have to be careful, don't be careless."

The other side replied: "Yes, boss."

He Quanzhong didn't ask any more questions, and hung up the phone directly. Although he told the other party to be careful, he didn't really care too much about it. With Wanwan's identity here, he threw a large amount of real silver investment in Quannan. I also want him to invest more foreign exchange. Even if there is a leak, someone will help to cover it up, and he doesn't even need to ask for help.

After putting away the phone and coming out of the bedroom, the assistant had already placed today's Quannan's big newspapers on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

He Quanzhong sat down and picked up an evening newspaper to read. The headline of the newspaper was news about Qingzhao, saying that Qingzhao’s cultural tourism project had started. A mayor of the city, surnamed Ma, went to Qingzhao to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of a certain project.

The mayor surnamed Ma, whom He Quanzhong met once, was very different from those in charge of attracting investment.

He Quanzhong shook his head and didn't think too much, since he didn't deal with this person directly anyway.

The news on the second edition is also related to Qingzhao. The design of the Luozhuang Han Tomb Museum has been completed and construction will begin in the second half of the year.

Luozhuang Han Tomb... He Quanzhong felt an itch in his heart. If he could get one of the things unearthed, such as chimes, chimes and bronzes, he would go back to Wanwan and be envious of those people.

It's a pity that the control over there is too strict. It is said that a company of armed police is stationed there, and there is no chance if they want to.

He Quanzhong sighed, then flipped through the newspaper, and saw a full page of colorful advertisements. On it, Jay Chou clenched his fist with one hand and held a box of chicken wings in the other.

This is an ad for Burger King!

"Victory Chicken Wings! Victory China! Cheers to China Victory!"

He Quanzhong put down the advertisement and said to his assistant, "Bring over the information you collected about Lu's Catering."

The assistant quickly brought a large file bag and said, "Mr. He, some of them were collected recently."

He Quanzhong nodded lightly, opened the information bag, and looked carefully.

Regarding Lu's Catering, at first it was pure revenge and wanting to disgust Wei's family, but as the more information collected, the more he knew about Lu's Catering, He Quanzhong felt that this catering company had great potential. , Yonghe soybean milk and the like?

Therefore, I have been looking for opportunities since then, and tried it through official channels.

But the attempt failed in the end. Lu's Catering survived the pressure exerted by the authorities, and the Management Committee of the University City obviously had concerns.

He Quanzhong didn't have these official concerns. His special status gave him extra confidence. If he couldn't get through official channels, he could try other channels.

Sitting on the sofa, thinking carefully for a while, He Quanzhong gradually took aim at Mr. Bai, the boss of Shun Tai Investment, who was going to meet at night.

For dinner in the evening, He Quanzhong deliberately didn't drink too much. After the banquet, he took Mr. Bai to a tea house next to the hotel.

After closing the door, Mr. Bai, wearing glasses, picked up the teapot and poured water.

He Quanzhong's mind was not on the tea, so he asked directly: "Mr. Bai, I heard that you are raising funds recently?"

Mr. Bai put down the teapot, sat across from him, and said with a smile, "Isn't this what my company does? Private funds are gathered to create investment opportunities."

He Quanzhong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Is there any good chance?"

Mr. Bai has seen that many officials in Quannan hold this Wanwan man high, and the cotton spinning and printing and dyeing invested by Wanwan man have no conflict of interest with him, and he said: "I wonder if Mr. He has heard of Sanlian Home Appliances? "

"I heard about it." He Quanzhong said.

"After successfully operating the Sunshine Sun City project, Sanlian Appliances is raising capital to establish a real estate company." Mr. Bai said roughly, "I'm going to let Shuntai invest and take a share in Sanlian Real Estate."

He Quanzhong nodded slowly: "The real estate industry has a bright future."

Hearing this, Mr. Bai couldn't help laughing: "Mr. He also thinks that the real estate industry has a good prospect?"

"The mainland has obviously begun to promote urbanization, and the population is concentrated in the eastern region." He Quanzhong has been in business for many years. Just as he judged that Lu's Catering has a promising future, he also has a certain judgment on the real estate industry: "In the future, the urban population will explode, and housing prices will inevitably rise. In fact, What is lacking at present is nothing more than a policy wind vane."

Mr. Bai agreed: "It makes sense."

He Quanzhong was unhurried, mastering the rhythm of the chat: "Mr. Bai, how much money is raised this time?"

This is a commercial secret, and Mr. Bai will not specify it, but only vaguely said: "There are always some."

He Quanzhong didn't care about this, and he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said: "There is a saying in the ancients that all eggs should not be put in the same basket. This saying is very suitable for the venture capital industry. Mr. Bai, the funds raised by Shuntai this time Invest all in Sanlian Real Estate?"

Mr. Bai said with a smile, "I haven't found a better opportunity yet."

After all, Sanlian is a long-established company in Quannan. Its reputation has always been good. It has just successfully operated the Sunshine Shuncheng project. Of course, if there are other projects, he will also consider: "Mr. He, do you have investment opportunities here?"

Having said that, He Quanzhong firmly grasped the initiative and said: "I am optimistic about a medium-sized catering company in Quannan and want to invest, but the other party rejected me."

Mr. Bai was a little surprised: "They rejected your investment? Mr. He, you invested in foreign exchange!"

This requires Mr. He's investment, not only to become a joint venture to enjoy various preferential policies, but also to borrow the influence of crooked people to rapidly expand the scale of the enterprise.

What is the purpose of doing business? After all, it is to make money. If it is him, the company in his hand can be exchanged for foreign exchange funds without any hesitation.

He Quanzhong was not embarrassed and said, "They refused."

As soon as Mr. Bai heard that He Quanzhong hadn't succeeded, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. He, I believe that since you are in Quannan..." Everyone understood some things, but he didn't say clearly: "There is always a way to make a middle-class The company bowed its head?"

He Quanzhong simply said: "The matter is a bit special, the other party has some background, and the official channel is not easy to go through, so I plan to find Mr. Bai to cooperate."

"May I ask which catering company it is?" Boss Bai was full of curiosity: "There is such a company in Quannan?"

He Quanzhong said: "Lu's Catering Company has three major brands: Lu's Malatang, Burger King and Lu's Hot Pot. Currently, there are more than 200 chain stores in Taidong and several surrounding provinces, and new stores are constantly being opened."

Mr. Bai immediately thought of some chain restaurants he saw in Ximen, Grand View Garden, Ginza and other places, and said, "I know these three brands, but I didn't expect them to belong to the same company... Hey, there are 200 chain stores, this company doesn't say much. Get assets in the hundreds of millions."

"More than that." He Quanzhong estimates that it will reach 500 million soon, and the future will be even more terrifying, otherwise he would not be so tempted: "This company is still expanding rapidly."

He looked at Mr. Bai opposite him: "If we can acquire this company at this time, or hold a certain amount of equity in this company, judging from my years of experience in business, we can at least get ten times the income in the future."

There was a drum in Mr. Bai's heart, and he immediately thumped, but he was able to achieve what he is today by relying on private fundraising, which is not comparable to ordinary people. He immediately thought of a key point: "Mr. He, why are you looking for me for such a good opportunity?"

Giving benefits for no reason, how can there be such a good thing?

Mr. He seemed very sincere: "Because I have repeatedly encountered obstacles at Lu Dong, the boss of Lu's Catering. This is a private enterprise, and the boss, Lu Dong, holds an absolute controlling stake. Without his nod, foreign funds cannot enter Lu's. Catering. I suspect that Lu Dong has a prejudice against me from Wanwan, because his father was a soldier who died, so maybe..."

Mr. Bai understood: "Mr. He means to ask me to come forward? I am sure to invest in Sanlian, and the funds are limited."

"Shuntai is a local company in Quannan, can we find a middleman with Lu's Catering? After all, we can have some kind of love." Mr. He picked up the teacup again: "I will pay the funds, and we can discuss a cooperation model, as long as you If I can get into Lu's Catering, a certain percentage of the shares will be transferred to me, as long as I can become a shareholder of Lu's Catering, some things will be done in the future."

Needless to say, Boss Bai also understands that once a large investor becomes a shareholder of an ordinary private enterprise, he can play all kinds of tricks internally.

Mr. He added another sentence at this time: "If this business can be successful, Mr. Bai's income will be at least as much as your company's normal operation for two years."

Mr. Bai thought about it carefully for a while, and said, "It's difficult to manage a private company that is absolutely controlled by an individual. What if he doesn't accept it?"

Mr. He smiled: "You go to make friends with him and encourage Lu's Catering to go public. Such a good prey is worth waiting for."
