Chapter 214 Industry is King On the first day after the holiday, Luo Yang arrived in Minhang early. When you enter the office building, you will see a row of names of companies on the wall on one side of the lobby on the ground floor, and you can already see the name of Modou Nayuki Tea Co., Ltd. From the details we can see here, administrative director Wu Wenyue did a good job. The elevator went up to the 15th floor, and the glass door of the company's office area was already locked with an electromagnetic lock. Jian Linlin at the front desk saw Luo Yang at a glance and hurried over to open the door. "Morning, Mr. Luo!" "morning." Luo Yang nodded in response and walked inside. After turning around the retaining wall made of acrylic panels, you will see six four-person workstations. A row of offices is separated by lightweight partition walls near the window, with signs for human resources, administration, finance, operations, the president's office, and conference room hanging on the doors.
There are several pots of green plants such as money trees and evergreens placed along the walkway, adding a bit of liveliness. After a simple renovation, the originally empty space of more than 200 square meters has been transformed. Plus, Xu Zhenzhen later asked for another 5 yuan, so the 15 yuan was worth it. "Manager Wu, call Manager Guo and Manager Xu to the conference room." When passing by the door of the administrative office, Luo Yang called out to Wu Wenyue inside. The offices were next to each other in a row, so when he shouted, Guo Xiaoya and Xu Zhenzhen both heard it, so there was no need to notify anyone else. "Morning, Mr. Luo!" "Hello, Mr. Luo!" "Mr. Luo!" After the three people entered the conference room, they first greeted Luo Yang who was sitting at the top. "Everyone, take a seat." Luo Yang waved to the three female generals and said, "First, let me report the current situation of the company. I will inform you of the news later." Of course people come first. "Boss Luo, the company has initially set up its framework. There are a total of ten people working at the headquarters, including you. The rest are still being recruited." Guo Xiaoya reported: "The staff on duty include one president, two financial staff, two human resources staff, two administrative staff (including the front desk), one legal staff, and two operations staff. We are currently making information statistics for the staff of Naixue No. 1 flagship store, and all staff can be included in the company's management scope within this week." No mistakes, no highlights, just average work. It was Wu Wenyue's turn as the administrator to report on the fixed assets ledger added by the company. Financial Director Xu Zhenzhen has already started to coordinate the flagship store's accounts, and will work with human resources to establish the company's salary system this week. “The company is going to expand.”
After the three people finished their reports, Luo Yang's first words shocked them. "Before the holiday, I negotiated a financing of 4500 million, plus my own 500 million, a total of 5000 million!" Luo Yang ignored their shock and continued, "First of all, on the administrative side, the investor will come to sign the contract today. We need to follow up on the corresponding contract, company charter, business license change and other procedures." Administrative director Wu Wenyue nodded subconsciously. “The second is the human resources department, where you have the most pressure.” Luo Yang looked at Guo Xiaoya and said, "In a month and a half, the first batch of 50 stores will be opened. In the next 4-6 months, there will be a second batch of 50 stores. Don't let the expansion speed be limited due to staff shortages." Facing the serious gaze, Guo Xiaoya shuddered. She straightened her body and said, "I will compile job requirements based on this scale and recruit people within a week." At this point, Guo Xiaoya paused and asked: "Operation manager?" "I have already commissioned a headhunting company and will give you the contact information later so that we can make the connection." After Luo Yang answered Guo Xiaoya's question, he looked at Xu Zhenzhen and said, "Your work will continue as usual." "Okay, Mr. Luo." This financial work is relatively simple for Xu Zhenzhen. Just as I was about to say something else, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Liu Haishan calling. "Please prepare the meeting room. The investors will be here soon." Luo Yang answered the phone while walking out. He was going to pick someone up at the company gate. The three female generals in the conference room looked at each other, with uncontrollable joy on their faces. With an investment of 5000 million and the scale of 100 stores in half a year, Nayuki Tea Co., Ltd. is about to usher in great development. They are all company veterans! The better the company grows, the better their future prospects will be. The three of them immediately became full of energy, and even their feet felt fast when they walked. Ten minutes later, Luo Yang, Liu Haishan, He Maosong, Cai Fujun and a business lawyer walked into the company. "Boss Luo, the office location you chose is a bit cramped." Liu Haishan, who was walking side by side with Luo Yang, said with a smile: "How can this be a company with annual sales of billions in the future?" "I was thinking of just playing slowly by myself." Even though he was teased, Luo Yang did not show any embarrassment: "I didn't know that the new product would be so popular in the market. It exceeded my expectations so much that I had to ask a few big brothers for help. It's okay. Once your money arrives, I will rent out the other empty spaces on this floor immediately!" "Hahaha" Cai Fujun, who was following behind, laughed out loud: "Lao Liu, I was right, right? Nine out of ten times they are waiting for the rice to cook!"
It seems that they had started betting on the way here. When I walked into the meeting room, Jian Linlin and another administrator were making tea. "Xiao Jian, ask Manager Xu to print out five copies of the flagship store's sales statistics for this week." Luo Yang instructed Jian Linlin, "Also call Wu Wenyue over. We will be signing the contract later. Ask her to call the legal department along." "Your secretary?" When Jian Linlin left the meeting room, Liu Haishan winked at Luo Yang and said, "Your vision is just average." "tsk" This group of big guys, when they get frivolous, really don't care about the occasion. “This is the company’s front desk.” Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "The company was established just over a week ago." "No wonder there are only two or three kittens outside." Cai Fujun also followed up with a joke: "No, after all, this is a company we have invested heavily in. As the president, you must look good and ask the headhunting company to recruit a president's assistant who must be both capable and good-looking." "Okay." Luo Yang smiled and said, "Anyway, I only have to pay 55% of the salary, so why not take advantage of this?" "Hahaha" This time it was Liu Haishan's turn to laugh. Even He Maosong, who was silent at the side, couldn't help laughing. Yes, once the equity investment agreement is finalized, Luo Yang will only hold 55% of the shares. He will hire a beautiful assistant with a high salary, and 45% of the salary will have to be paid by the three of them. While chatting and laughing, Xu Zhenzhen personally brought over five documents. "Mr. Luo, this is the sales data summary of Naixue No. 1 flagship store during the seven days of National Day." "The three elder brothers, please take a look." Luo Yang gestured to Xu Zhenzhen to hand out a copy to each person: "When it's your turn to sign, don't say I took advantage of you." "so much?" After getting the financial data table, the first thing I looked at was the summary column at the end. The number 531728 was so conspicuous. The three of them exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time. During the seven days of National Day, the average daily turnover reached about 76000. “Is this the daily sales data of an A-level store?” He Maosong usually speaks the least, but at this time he couldn't help but be the first to ask.
"This is not normal. We need to wait at least three months to see normal data." Luo Yang said honestly: "It is generally believed that the daily sales of A-level stores are between 3 and 4, and I also think this data is not difficult to achieve." "That's amazing." He Maosong smacked his lips and said, "100-120 million a month, 1200-1440 million a year. This is just an A-level store. Mr. Luo, in your opinion, how much does a B-level store make in a month?" "I have a C-class store in the university town. It has been open for two months. I expect the monthly sales to be around 35 to 40 yuan. By analogy, the monthly sales of a B-class store that meets the standard should be around 70 to 80 yuan." "According to your previous plan, among the first batch of 50 stores, 8 will be Grade A, 16 will be Grade B, and 26 will be Grade C." "The monthly turnover is 2830-3280 million, which is 33960-39360 million a year." Financial Director Xu Zhenzhen blurted out. "Oh my goodness" Liu Haishan was also shocked: "According to this calculation, if we have 500 stores, the annual sales volume would not be to million, right?" Cai Fujun silently calculated the profit and was also shocked. "So Mr. Liu is really amazing. He is unwilling to wait until the data comes out to talk to me." Luo Yang shook the data sheet in his hand: "If I have to have this form in the sauna room one day, why should I suffer so much to get 4500 million investment?" "Bah, what are you talking about!" Liu Haishan was the first to spit at Luo Yang: "You're still suffering, but Lao Cai and I are suffering!" Everyone laughed again when they thought of the negotiation scene that afternoon. This harmonious scene stunned Guo Xiaoya and the company's legal department who walked into the meeting room. I was just joking just now. Since we have already agreed on it, there is no way I can go back on my word, even though the profit I just calculated is so astonishing. Next, the two legal departments will meet to discuss the specific terms of the equity investment agreement. It's better not to bother two people with one thing. Now that everyone is here, I can also handle the equity transfer of another film and television company at the same time. Liu Haishan transferred 15%, He Maosong transferred 15%, and with the 15% transferred by Cai Fujun before, Luo Yang suddenly owned 45% of the shares in Hengdian Oriental Film and Television Entertainment Company and became the largest shareholder. "I see you're very interested in the film and television industry?" The people below were taking care of the specific matters, so naturally all that was left was idle chatting. "There will be a business reception for the film and television industry at Building 18, The Bund, Magic City this weekend. Do you want to attend?" Liu Haishan smiled and "enticed" Luo Yang: "In addition to investors and directors, you can also see many celebrities." "It's the weekend." Luo Yang was a little hesitant, mainly because Jiang Fan would come to Shanghai and it would not be convenient for him to attend any cocktail party in the evening. "I'll get you an invitation later. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not." Perhaps seeing Luo Yang's hesitation, Liu Haishan quickly made this decision.
"Okay, I'll see when the time comes." Luo Yang smiled at Liu Haishan and said, "Brother, you went there, right?" "I'm definitely going." He raised his chin and motioned to Cai Fujun, saying, "Old Cai will go there too." Without them, Luo Yang would be unfamiliar with the place. Even if Jiang Fan didn't come to Shanghai for something, he wouldn't go there either. "In the past, we all chased after the coal bosses from Shanxi Province. They have big hands and few responsibilities, and are the most popular high-quality investors in the film and television industry." Cai Fujun continued Liu Haishan's words, "But in recent years, coal bosses are no longer stupid, so the film and television industry has begun to seek investors in the south. The Yangtze River Delta has become one of their largest channels for financing. There are many such receptions, almost several every month. If you are interested, you can attend at any time." "I play it occasionally, but I'm interested in it." Luo Yang smiled and said, "It's too late to make money." "That's right!" Liu Haishan nodded and said, "If you don't have money, no director or star will bother you, and no investment reception will have anything to do with you. Even if you enter, you can only watch and no one will care." Cai Fujun has a different opinion: "Industry is king. It is not only about making money, but also about having industry to create influence and build a halo for yourself." "Yeah. Unfortunately, I went astray. Now, even if I want to, I can't concentrate on doing it." Liu Haishan said with some regret: "We are not taking advantage of our age in front of you, it is just a bit of experience. Look at those financial people, they are rich, right? Haha, to deal with them, there is no worry at all, there are mistakes everywhere, those who play this game are not clean. It really takes only a few minutes!" No wonder Cai Fujun is determined to develop some industry. Liu Haishan said that he couldn't calm down, but in fact, if there was a chance, wouldn't he want it too? Otherwise, why would we have Why do we need to build a ready-mixed cement mortar plant? After all, I still want to move closer to industry, occupy production resources, and become an influential entrepreneur in the local area. Pure house speculators, playing with finance It's really just money left! It can be said that the ability to resist risks is extremely weak. Now Luo Yang provides them with a possibility. From to the ready-mixed cement mortar industry and then to the milk tea industry, they have invested the funds in specific industries bit by bit. This is the safest. Fortunately, this topic was too heavy, so after a brief chat, we turned to romantic matters. When it comes to romance, we can’t do without women. Luo Yang found the right moment and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "There is something that is difficult to talk about, but I would like to mention it while the three brothers are here." "?" Cai Fujun was the first to stir up trouble: "Don't worry, if it's about the beautiful assistant, I'll take care of it!"
"Yes, in front of the headhunting company, Lao Cai will do it privately!" Liu Haishan was also making fun of Luo Yang. "It's another matter. It's not just about me, it's also related to the three big brothers." Luo Yang smiled and waved his hand, then he explained the matter of sharing the benefits equally, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said: "There should not be too many such franchise stores, and the level should be limited to C-level and below, and the time should be set after the second batch of direct-operated stores are opened." After saying this, Liu Haishan and the others looked at each other. "I think this will work!" "I think three places per person is more appropriate!" "Pah, Lao Cai, you have three mistresses, right?" "Get lost, I have one spot for my wife's family, and another for my brother's family!" Cai Fujun retorted to Liu Haishan: "Old Liu, three is not enough, right?" "Bullshit, one of me is enough!" He said disdainfully: "A C-level store, more than one million a year, what college student do you think is worth this price?" Luo Yang looked at He Maosong with a wry smile. Wow, when talking about this, all the secrets of Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun were revealed. He Maosong also quickly stopped them both. "That's it. Each family has three places. You can sell the ones you don't need, and buy the ones you need!" He Maosong suggested: "300 million for a C-level store, 200 million for a D-level store!" "Seconded!" Luo Yang was the first to raise his hand in agreement. Of course he agreed. Two of the three places had already been taken, one was given to Jiang Wen, and the other was promised to Shen Jinglan. Wow, a C-level store quota is worth 300 million. Just giving it to Shen Jinglan like this, seems like I'm at a big loss, right? Luo Yang stroked his chin and thought. "Seconded!" "Seconded!" Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun stopped arguing and expressed their agreement with his proposal. He Maosong then glanced at the two legal officers who were discussing the terms of the agreement and said, "Add this clause to the agreement. Just mention the three quotas. Don't include the transaction price or anything like that." Just be decisive. It seems that among the three people, He Maosong has a lot of say. Everyone should have a lot of monthly tickets at the beginning of the month. Is it because I didn’t send out the Easter egg chapter? I’ll present it to you right away. There’s an Easter egg chapter at the end of this chapter.
