Chapter 470: Valuation of 10 million
Xiao Longbo had just walked out of the building when he happened to meet Han Sanping, the director of the External Relations Department.
Han Sanping saw Xiao Longbo and greeted him with a smile, "President Xiao."
Han Sanping and Xiao Longbo not only work together in the Student Union, but are also roommates in the same dormitory, so they have a good relationship.
Xiao Longbo smiled and said, "San'er, where are you going?"
Han Sanping shook the file bag in his hand and said, "Put the information I just collected outside in the archives room for filing."
"Oh, go ahead, I'm leaving now."
"Hey, wait."
Han Sanping seemed to remember something and said, "Let's go drink tonight."
Xiao Longbo is now concentrating on how to clear the snow on time so that he can lie down and be a rich son-in-law. He doesn't want to participate in such useless social activities at all.
"Forget it, it's boring."
Han Sanping smiled a smile that all men understand, and said, "There will be several freshmen from the Art Academy coming over tonight. They are all fair-skinned and beautiful. Are you sure you don't want to come?"
When Xiao Longbo heard that there was a beautiful woman accompanying him, his heart was instantly moved. He changed his words without hesitation and said, "I am the president of the student union. It is my unshirkable responsibility to organize activities. How can I not go? I will go take a shower first, and you can call me when the time comes."
"OK."
Han Sanping smiled.
He knew that Xiao Longbo would definitely not miss this kind of activity.
What's interesting or not, those are all excuses. As long as there are girls - especially beautiful girls, Xiao Longbo will go there regardless of the weather, even if the sky falls.
After returning to the dormitory, Xiao Longbo took a shower, put on a light blue slim-fit suit, and tied a small bow tie, looking very elegant.
When they were drinking in the evening, the girls from the Art Academy blushed when they saw Xiao Longbo dressed like this.
"President Xiao is so handsome."
"Does President Xiao have a girlfriend?"
"President Xiao, can you have two drinks with me tonight? Only two drinks, I can't drink much."
Several girls greeted Xiao Longbo.
Xiao Longbo is an old hand, how could he not hear the hints in the girls' words?
Although he was still thinking about how to pursue Shi Qingxue, the girls in front of him were also very good-looking, so Xiao Longbo certainly would not refuse them.
"You can only drink two glasses? Are you kidding me? I'll test it later."
"President Xiao, please don't do that. If I get drunk, I won't be able to go back to the dormitory."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Xiao Longbo is an expert in love affairs. With just a few words, he can make several girls so happy that they almost stick to him.
When the boys saw this scene, they were extremely envious, but their conditions were not as good as Xiao Longbo's. In addition, Xiao Longbo was the president of the Student Union, so they did not dare to compete.
A few boys started chatting.
"You all know the story of Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong from the Computer Science Department starting a business, right?"
"I heard that I worked part-time for two days and earned more than a hundred yuan. Hehe, I have pocket money for this month."
"I heard they make hundreds of thousands a month. Is that true?"
"Hundreds of thousands a month? Wouldn't that mean you're getting rich?"
"envious."
Xiao Longbo also chimed in, "They are so lucky. They don't have any employment pressure at all."
Although he spoke in a calm tone, he was actually very envious in his heart. He had successfully started his own business while still a freshman in college and would be a boss in the future.
The closer he got to graduation, the more Xiao Longbo realized the gap between people. Otherwise, he would not have given up his face and pride to pursue a rich and beautiful girl like Shi Qingxue.
A girl was close to Shi Qingxue's roommate Wu Mengmeng and knew some of the inside story, so she said, "Seniors, you guys may not know this, but Shi Qingxue's boyfriend Lu Yiming is actually one of the founders of Zhenxiang Fast Food, but he doesn't like to show up in the spotlight, so he didn't accept interviews from reporters."
Another girl said enviously, "Shi Qingxue is so lucky. I heard that her boyfriend is quite capable. Not only did he become the president of the model airplane club by spending money, but he was also the one who came up with the idea of Zhenxiang fast food. I heard that he still gets the lion's share of the profits."
Xiao Longbo lost his composure after hearing this. He had been busy with the student union's affairs before and had no idea that Lu Yiming had caused so many big things.
Suddenly I felt a lot of pressure and was very depressed.
If Lu Yiming is really as good as the rumors say, is it still possible to poach him?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. He no longer wanted to listen to these people discussing Lu Yiming, so he immediately raised a bottle of beer and said loudly, "Okay, what's the point of being envious? Let's drink. Let's drink while we can."
Rice Capital.
Gao Yousi sat in his office, looking through the financial report that his subordinates had just handed him.
His brows were furrowed and his face was angry.
After a while, he slammed the folder shut, raised it high, and slammed it heavily on the table.
“Bang!”
He looked at his men in anger and shouted, "What's wrong with you? What kind of rotten fish and shrimp have you found in the past six months? You can tell at a glance that you are money-losing projects! You are a bunch of good-for-nothings. I paid you to come here, are you here just to eat?"
The subordinates were criticized so much that they could not say anything back. In fact, they were also innocent. After all, good projects that make money often have huge risks, while safe projects do not make much money.
The problem actually lies with Gao Yousi. As an investor, he always thinks about high profits and low risks. He finds faults with entrepreneurs and makes things difficult for them. He is also stingy when giving money. As a result, even if someone has a good project, they are unwilling to look for Dami Capital.
Of course, Gao Yousi was not aware of this - or he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
After he scolded everyone, he immediately issued an ultimatum: "Get out, I'm tired of seeing you! If I can't find a good project, you guys should quit and go home to farm!"
Suddenly, one of the men had an idea and said, "Recently, Fu Ri University has a good project that seems to be very popular. Not only did it make a lot of money, it also seemed to be on the news."
When Gao Yousi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "What project?"
The subordinate said, "They sell boxed lunches. Their shop is called Zhenxiang Fast Food."
"Selling lunch boxes? "
When Gao Yousi heard this, he immediately looked disdainful and obviously scoffed at it.
“What future can there be in selling boxed lunches?”
The subordinate explained, "Zhenxiang Fast Food is different. Their promotion method is very unique. They actually put advertisements in elevators, so they can quickly promote it in major office buildings. I heard that the daily sales have exceeded 10,000, and this is only the case with one store. If they open more stores in the future, the sales will be sky-high."
Gao Yousi was immediately shocked by the news and said with some doubt: "Selling lunch boxes is so profitable? Are you kidding me?"
The subordinate said earnestly, "No! Boss, I've eaten their box lunches before, they are indeed delicious! But they are really expensive. A box lunch of seven or eight yuan only has vegetables, and if you want some meat, it will cost ten yuan, or even more than ten yuan."
"Moreover, as far as I know, their gross profit margin is as high as 50%! They are already planning to open a second and third store. If they are allowed to open them, I don't know how good the business will be!"
Gao Yousi did a quick calculation in his mind, and was then shocked by the result.
"Wow, just opening a store, the gross profit per month is probably almost one million?"
It has to be said .
More importantly, the operating model of Zhenxiang fast food can be quickly replicated, which means that its future business potential is huge!
Now the country's urbanization process is accelerating, the urban population is increasing rapidly, and the size of the white-collar class will become larger and larger. When you think about it this way, the market size is simply terrifyingly large, and there is a lot of room for development!
Gao Yousi immediately made the decision and said, "Go and negotiate this project for me."
Seeing that things were finally coming to fruition, several of his men breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to leave Gao Yousi's office.
Fu Ri University.
In the dormitory, Lu Yiming was discussing the development of Zhenxiang Fast Food with Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong.
Ni Cong said to Lu Yiming: "Now our daily sales have exceeded 12,000 copies, but the business growth seems to have reached a bottleneck."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where do you think the problem lies?"
Ni Cong had obviously thought about this question, and immediately blurted out: "It's mainly because there are too many calls for ordering meals. Some users have reported that they often can't get through during meal times."
Lu Yiming said: "This is indeed a problem."
Although there are now several telephones and students from Fu Ri University have been mobilized to work part-time as deliverymen, the number of orders is still increasing day by day as the interview spreads.
Lu Yiming said: "We still need to simplify the ordering process as much as possible. It would be best if we could create a phone ordering function, directly import the results into our printer, and issue the order directly, so that there is no need for manual phone calls. All those employees can go to deliver the food."
Wang Dazhuang smiled and said, "This is a good idea. Every day at mealtime, so many calls come in at once that even the operator with three heads and six arms can't handle it all."
Then, Wang Dazhuang rubbed his hands and said, "Now that we have figured out the model, can we expand quickly?"
In recent days, Wang Dazhuang, who had returned to his old love, was in high spirits and always wanted to do something big and reach the peak of his life.
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Let's train the staff first. If you want to create a brand, you can't rush it. Otherwise, if you destroy the brand, it will be difficult to put it up again."
As the saying goes, details determine success or failure.
Selling lunch boxes sounds like a very small business, with almost no barriers to entry. But precisely because of the low barriers to entry, the competition is very fierce. If you want to carve out a niche in the fiercely competitive market, you must have what others don't, be ahead of others, and be diligent in the details.
For example, hotpot restaurants are everywhere in China, but why are there only a few restaurants like Haidilao, Dezhuang, and Xiaolongkan that have opened nationwide chains? Because they are indeed better than their peers in some aspects.
If Zhenxiang Fast Food wants to stand out, or even compete with Li Jian’s Quanyida, it is obviously not possible in its current state.
Zhenxiang Fast Food was founded by Lu Yiming, and it has been very successful, allowing Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong to earn huge fortunes that they had never dared to imagine before.
Now the two of them obeyed everything Lu Yiming said without any doubt at all.
Since Lu Yiming said he wanted to train employees, the two of them did not hesitate at all and immediately stated that they would train all the employees before thinking about opening a store.
Just when the three of them were chatting happily, Wang Dazhuang received a call. After hanging up, he looked at Lu Yiming with a strange expression and said, "There is a man named Gao Yousi who wants to invest in our Zhenxiang Fast Food."
Lu Yiming was stunned when he heard this. How come Zhenxiang Fast Food was targeted by other capital forces so quickly?
Although he was well aware of the routine, he did not expect that someone would take action so quickly.
Zhenxiang Fast Food is a brand that has only been established for less than a month and it only has one store.
Logically speaking, it should be impossible to attract the attention of the capital market.
Wang Dazhuang went on to say, “This person also asked the three of us out for a meeting.”
Lu Yiming asked: "When?"
"Now."
Lu Yiming thought about it and felt that they would have to go through this kind of thing sooner or later, so he said, "Well, let's go meet him. Will he choose the place?"
Wang Dazhuang hesitated: "It seems he mentioned something called the White Horse Club. Where is this White Horse Club?"
Ni Cong said: “I don’t know.”
Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
He went on to say: "But it doesn't matter, we can just take a taxi, the driver will definitely know."
"Yes. Haha, Lu Yiming is still smart."
The three of them packed up, took a taxi, and arrived at the White Horse Club.
The building where the White Horse Club is located was built in the 1920s and 1930s. It has a grayish-white surface, and gives off a heavy sense of history. With the flashing neon lights outside, it has the flavor of the old Bund decades ago.
Ni Cong looked at the European-style buildings around him and said, "This was the former concession. It was the most prosperous place in Zhonghai."
The three of them entered the White Horse Club.
Walking through the gate, you will find a different world inside.
The place is full of lights, wine and women, and magnificent.
High-end, atmospheric and classy.
Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong were both shocked on the spot.
The two never dared to dream that they would be qualified to come to such a high-end place in their lifetime.
Wang Dazhuang walked carefully on the golden staircase. He looked around and found that everything was glittering and golden. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "It would cost at least 100 yuan to eat a box lunch here, right?"
Ni Cong taunted, "You really haven't seen the world. In such a high-end place, let alone a box lunch, even a glass of boiled water would probably cost more than a hundred!"
Lu Yiming was speechless and said with a smile: "Didn't you two see the entrance instructions just now? The minimum consumption for entering here is 1,888!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's expensive."
"One thousand eight hundred and eight? This means we have to eat hairy crabs, right?"
Although Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong have both made a lot of money now, their starting points are not high, so their thinking is still that of ordinary people, and they obviously cannot understand this consumption concept.
It's like a story in an essay written by the great writer Li Ao, where a reporter from the mainland, after becoming suddenly rich, raises chickens and grows vegetables in the yard of his villa.
The pocket becomes rich first, but the mind has not yet caught up.
Lu Yiming is different. Although his previous life was ordinary, he was reborn and had long thrown aside his thoughts and ideas.
Lu Yiming complained: "Let's go, stop sighing, it's not like you can't afford it now, don't act like a country bumpkin coming to the city all day long."
Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong were both embarrassed by what Lu Yiming said and kept scratching their heads in embarrassment.
Going up the stairs to the second floor, what catches your eye is a dance floor in the center, surrounded by a circle of sofas and small round tables. Many customers are dancing to the music, while many others are sitting on the sofas drinking and chatting.
The three people looked around, not knowing how to find someone for a moment.
Just at this moment, a waiter wearing a white shirt, black vest and a black bow tie came up, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Welcome, do you have a reservation?"
Lu Yiming took a look at the surroundings and replied calmly: "Gao Yousi asked us to come here."
The waiter suddenly realized what was going on and immediately became more polite: "So you are Mr. Gao's guest. Please follow me."
Then the waiter led the three of them to a box near the window and said, "Mr. Gao, your guest is here."
"Come in."
The waiter made a gesture of invitation and said to the three people, "Please come in."
The box is not big, but it is also magnificently decorated. The colorful glazed windows are exactly the same as the shape of the cathedral in the distance. It ensures functionality while being full of artistic atmosphere. The green leather sofas surround a round table with a gold border, which is very luxurious.
After everyone introduced themselves to each other, Gao Yousi began to talk about how awesome Dami Capital was, such as what companies it had invested in and what great achievements these companies later achieved, etc., which directly stunned Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong.
Lu Yiming immediately felt something was wrong. If he allowed this guy to continue deceiving him like this, the conditions he would offer would probably be only slightly better than breaking a bone.
So Lu Yiming was unmoved by his words. When Gao Yousi was halfway through his boast, he interrupted and asked, "Mr. Gao, how much valuation are you willing to give to Zhenxiang Fast Food by Rice Capital?"
Dami Capital is considered one of the local bosses in Zhonghai. Although Gao Yousi's words just now contained a lot of bragging, it still has some strength.
As long as the price is right, it wouldn't be such a big loss to win over such an ally.
However, Gao Yousi looked down on Lu Yiming and his friends because of their youth, and pretended to be generous and said, "Although your company has only been open for a short time, I am optimistic about its development. I think it is worth 10 million."
