Chapter 471: Fire Prevention, Theft Prevention, and Senior Brother Prevention
"Ten million?!"
Upon hearing this number, Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong were so shocked that their eyes became dazed and their mouths opened wide, unable to close for a long time.
Just a month ago, they had to think carefully before making a decision on spending more than a hundred dollars, otherwise they would have to eat steamed buns and drink boiled water at the end of the month. But now, a month later, they are actually negotiating a big deal worth ten million?
This life is so damn dreamy!
There was no doubt that neither of them had ever seen so much money - they had never even dreamed of such a large amount of money.
These days, winning the lottery only nets you five million, so ten million is a double dream!
Seeing the two people trembling with excitement, Gao Yousi couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart.
A country bumpkin, a bumpkin, indeed a student who has never seen the world. He can be so excited over a mere 10 million.
The pattern is not enough.
It will never become a big deal.
However, just when Gao Yousi thought he had control over Zhenxiang Fast Food, Lu Yiming, who had been sitting next to him and was as steady as an old dog, saw through most of Gao Yousi's thoughts and tricks.
The 10 million is just an estimate. If you really get it, I'm afraid the maximum you can get is only 3 million. Does Zhenxiang Fast Food need this 3 or 5 million?
The gross profit of one store is more than one million a month, and the price-earning ratio is less than ten times. Are they treating us guys like the first batch of green leeks?
Lu Yiming didn't even bother to say anything to this greedy and self-righteous person. He just stood up, bowed to Gao Yousi, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. Let's have tea together when we have time in the future."
The implication is that there is no need to talk about cooperation.
Gao Yousi looked at Lu Yiming in astonishment. As an investor, he was used to being superior when facing entrepreneurs. He was always the one who rejected others. This was the first time he met someone as aggressive as Lu Yiming. How could he dare not give him face?
Suddenly Gao Yousi felt a little confused and began to doubt his life.
But thinking that Zhenxiang Fast Food had reached its peak right after its debut, in order to make money, Gao Yousi still patiently asked, "What's the matter? Don't you think the price I offered is not good? Well, the price is negotiated, right? You can talk about your conditions. Come on, come on, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."
Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong also looked at Lu Yiming with some confusion.
They didn't know why Lu Yiming didn't talk about it.
Please, ten million!
However, facing Gao Yousi who had no sincerity, Lu Yiming didn't have the time to play along with him and said directly: "We cannot accept the valuation of 10 million. So let's leave it at that. Even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have a friendship."
He stood up and shouted to Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong, "Hey, it's time to go."
Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong were both a little anxious.
After all, this is ten million!
Once you walk out of this door, the 10 million will be gone!
But both of them knew that they had no say in the system architecture of Zhenxiang Fast Food, and the only one who could make decisions was Lu Yiming.
What's more, they are willing to believe the decision made by Lu Yiming. If Lu Yiming chooses not to sell, he must have his own reasons.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, Gao Yousi's face looked very ugly.
He felt that facing three college students who had not yet entered society, the resumes of Rice Capital alone were enough to make the three of them kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer". His offer of 10 million was already very high.
After all, I am a college student.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming disagreed, causing him to miss an opportunity to make a lot of money.
"Lu Yiming, right? Just wait, we are not done with this matter yet."
After walking out of the Baima Club, Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang surrounded Lu Yiming.
"Lu Yiming, why don't we accept his valuation?"
"Yes, that's a full ten million, ten million!"
The two of them were actually very tempted by this money.
After all, Zhenxiang Fast Food was established only a short time ago. Although it has unlimited potential in the future, it is just potential. There are so many variables in the future. How can it be as refreshing as getting real money now?
Lu Yiming grinned slightly, obviously sneering at the performance of the two people: "You two are still not used to being rich. Calculate the profits of our Zhenxiang Fast Food. Do we need his 10 million valuation to confirm our value? We don't need it at all. Besides, this 10 million is just a valuation, not a real 10 million in cash. If this is the case, then why don't I just value it at 100 million or 1 billion? Wouldn't that be more impressive? Don't we have this much cash flow now? And 10 million is just a valuation, not that he really wants to give us that much money."
Ni Cong said with some concern: "Based on his own description just now, the network of people in this Rice Capital should be quite strong. Will there be any problems if we reject him so ruthlessly?"
Lu Yiming was amused when he heard this, and immediately said: "You are really confused by the situation. What is our current identity? We are students. We are students of Fu Ri University. No matter how powerful the connections of Rice Capital are, can they be more powerful than our connections at Fu Ri University? What can they do to us? Break into the school and beat us up?"
“That’s right.”
"I almost forgot about this."
The two of them then remembered that Zhenxiang Fast Food is now a "face project" of Fu Ri University. Anyone who dares to do Zhenxiang Fast Food would be slapping the school in the face. How could the school let it go?
Then, Lu Yiming said seriously: "From his offer just now, I can see that this kind of person is greedy and has no sincerity in doing things. If we introduce such an investor, he will definitely interfere with our operations in the future. Not only will he not be able to help us, he may even hinder us. So it is better to stay away from him."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Lu Yiming had worked in the Internet industry in his previous life and knew the big pitfalls that many entrepreneurs would encounter.
The biggest pitfalls often come from investors with strange ideas.
You can never imagine how many idiots these people can force entrepreneurs to do in order to make money. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. Lu Yiming had worked in the Internet industry in his previous life and knew the big pitfalls that many entrepreneurs would encounter.
The biggest pitfalls often come from investors with strange ideas.
You can never imagine how many outrageous things these idiots can force entrepreneurs to do in order to make money.
There is no doubt that in Lu Yiming's eyes, Gao Yousi is such a plague god.
Besides, Lu Yiming is not short of money, so there is no need to introduce any investors.
You can be your own investor and all the profits belong to you, isn’t that great?
After Lu Yiming's explanation, Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang also understood what Gao Yousi was planning.
Wang Dazhuang said indignantly: "I thought he was going to give us 10 million directly, but it turns out he just thinks we are worth 10 million? Isn't this just getting something for nothing?"
Ni Cong was also a little scared and said, "They always say that the business world is like a battlefield, and intrigue and deception are common. I have seen it today. Lu Yiming, it's a good thing you are here to check for us, otherwise we would have been led into a dog trap by that guy."
Facing his two roommates, Lu Yiming did not blame them, but encouraged them: "You two just haven't experienced these things. You will learn after a long time. I tell you, people in the financial industry have dirty hearts. You must be extremely careful when dealing with them."
Wang Dazhuang said, "Why don't we just let you do these things?"
Lu Yiming: “???”
"Brother, something is wrong with you. Aren't you just being a hands-off boss?"
"No! I have a clear division of labor!"
After learning that Gao Yousi's investment was a scam, Wang Dazhuang and Ni Cong lost interest in the so-called investment. Naturally, Lu Yiming would also care about such small things.
However, at this time, the news that Dami Capital valued Zhenxiang Lunch Box at 10 million spread like wildfire.
The already famous Zhenxiang fast food has now become the focus of everyone's attention.
You know, this is ten million!
The Zhenxiang fast food brand was established less than half a month ago, but its development speed is so rapid that many people are shocked.
Even when they were taking computer science classes, the classmates looked at Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang differently.
"Hey, are you two multi-millionaires now?"
"Wang Dazhuang, you are so rich now, can you buy a car?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment when asked.
Wang Dazhuang said: "Who told you that I have 10 million?"
The classmate said: "It's all in the newspaper, didn't you see it?"
Wang Dazhuang shook his head and said, "I don't have time to read the newspaper."
Whenever he is not in class, he works in the store. When he comes home at night, he is as tired as a dog and falls asleep immediately. How can he have the leisure to read the newspaper?
After class, Ni Cong returned to the dormitory and said to Lu Yiming in confusion: "How did our negotiation with Rice Capital appear in the newspaper? When did we become multi-millionaires? Didn't we refuse Gao Yousi's terms at the time?"
Lu Yiming laughed and said, "I asked a reporter to write this article."
Ni Cong stared at Lu Yiming in amazement, and asked in great confusion: "Did you do this? Why?"
In front of the two of them, Lu Yiming did not hide anything and immediately told them his plan: "Of course it's for publicity effect. Zhenxiang Fast Food will open a branch soon. What's wrong with promoting it in advance?"
After hearing this, Ni Cong's eyes lit up: "Fuck, can propaganda be done this way?"
Wang Dazhuang couldn't help but complain: "If you do this, Gao Yousi of Dami Capital will probably be very angry..."
Rejecting Gao Yousi in person before was already a very disrespectful act, and now he is using him as a gun. Wang Dazhuang feels that he would not be able to tolerate this even if he were in Gao Yousi's position.
After all, doing so is equivalent to stepping on Gao Yousi to get to the top.
Who wants to be the background of the news?
Lu Yiming said slowly, "When we rejected his offer, we actually offended him. And we didn't lie about . We just told the truth. What's the difference between offending him once and offending him twice? The most important thing now is to keep Zhenxiang Fast Food in the spotlight and increase our brand awareness."
After hearing this, the two of them seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Yiming continued to analyze the situation for the two people, saying, "Although our Zhenxiang Fast Food is booming now, the entry threshold of this industry is actually very low, and competitors may appear at any time. If we don't race against time to increase our popularity now, it will be difficult to go forward in the future."
Wang Dazhuang understood. He took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and said, "You are right. I am more afraid of being poor than offending people. I will try to make as much money as possible while I can still make it. I don't care if it offends people."
Ni Cong also said indignantly, "That's right! Gao Yousi didn't have good intentions at the time. He wanted to take advantage of us because we were young. Now we are taking advantage of this. What's the problem?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I even want to increase my efforts."
Ni Cong asked excitedly: "What good idea have you come up with?"
Student Union.
A group of people gathered together and enthusiastically discussed how Ni Cong and Wang Dazhuang became multi-millionaires.
The spiritual shock this incident brought to everyone was so strong that it was understandable that it sparked discussion.
"They are only freshmen, and they are already multi-millionaires?"
A boy couldn't help but feel sad.
We are all of the same age, why is there such a big gap between people?
Some people regretted it so much that they slapped their thighs and said, "I didn't expect that such a small lunch box could actually contain such a huge business opportunity. If I had known this, I would have sold lunch boxes too."
Someone looked down on him: "Do you have Lu Yiming's brain? He can sell lunch boxes like flowers, can you do it?"
"Hey, look at what you said, why can't I do it?"
The topic of wealth caused heated debate among many students.
Many people think that if they were in this situation, they could do it too.
However, most people just talk big and few actually take action.
Only Xiao Longbo remained silent, but his heart was in turmoil. He really wanted to "copy" it. He held a newspaper in his hand, with a changeable look on his face.
Ten million! They can do it, why can't I?
He has not been idle these past few days, but has secretly asked people about a lot of things about Zhen Xiang Fast Food, especially the development model of Zhen Xiang Fast Food. Now he feels that he has almost figured out Lu Yiming's business routines.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Longbo finally got up and went to find Ji Feiyang.
At this time, Ji Feiyang was in the student union office preparing materials for the school's autumn sports meeting. Seeing Xiao Longbo's anxious look, he asked, "What's going on?"
Xiao Longbo took out the newspaper and said to Ji Feiyang excitedly, "Old Ji, let's go sell lunch boxes. These two freshmen have made a total of 10 million now! I have already studied how they do it, and I can definitely open a place exactly like them! I have even thought of a name, it's Fan Zhen Xiang Fast Food!"
"I lost..."
Ji Feiyang was too exhausted to complain: "Not only did you copy their business model, but you even copied their store name? They call it Zhenxiang Fast Food, and you call it Fanzhenxiang Fast Food?"
Xiao Longbo was dismissive of this argument: "If a few freshmen can sell lunch boxes, why can't we? The business model is not protected by patent law. Besides, do you want face or money?"
Ji Feiyang, who was originally planning to refuse, fell silent at this time. Yes, in today's society, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Can saving face be used to make a living?
Thinking of how Wang Dazhuang, who was originally poor, became a millionaire in the blink of an eye, Ji Feiyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!"
Xiao Longbo was very happy to see Ji Feiyang was willing to work with him. He patted Ji Feiyang on the shoulder and said in high spirits: "Don't worry, everything is under my control! Our first step is to raise funds, build the framework, and then go to Rice Capital for financing! By then, we can become multi-millionaires!"
These words made Ji Feiyang's heart burn with anger.
He wants to be a multi-millionaire too!
Rice Capital.
In the office, Gao Yousi read the long reports in the newspaper, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"I never thought that after spending all my time hunting geese, I would be blinded by a goose."
"Want to step on me to get to the top? That depends on how tough you are! Want to mess with me? Haha, I'll kill you first!"
Seeing that Gao Yousi had almost lost his mind, his subordinates hurriedly persuaded him, "Boss Gao, calm down. They are just a few college students. It is not difficult to deal with them. The real trouble is Fu Ri University. We can't afford to offend them."
In terms of connections, background, and influence, how can a mere commercial investment institution compare with the top ten prestigious universities in the country?
Nowadays, Zhen Xiang Fast Food is a key support project of Fu Ri University. If you want to develop Zhen Xiang Fast Food, wouldn’t that mean you would be the enemy of Fu Ri University?
Gao Yousi said unhappily: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Several men looked at each other.
In fact, they all knew it very well in their hearts - if the valuation given by you, Gao Yousi, was not too low and it was obvious that you wanted to take advantage of others, how could things have turned out like this?
A blind man can see that a company has a promising future, but you give it a valuation of 10 million? Isn't that like treating beggars badly? It would be strange if they didn't hire you.
Of course, these words are just thoughts and should never be spoken out loud.
What's the point of playing with a salary of one or two thousand yuan?
When Gao Yousi was about to continue speaking, someone walked into the office and said, "Boss Gao, good news. You should take a good look at this plan."
Gao Yousi picked up the document in his hand and his face changed drastically after just a few glances: "Fan Zhenxiang Fast Food!? Who made this plan?"
"They are two students from Fu Ri University. Their development ideas are exactly the same as Zhen Xiang Fast Food. I think we can give it a try."
Gao Yousi laughed loudly upon hearing this: "You are right. If we can't invest in Zhenxiang Fast Food, we will invest in its competitors! Are you trying to humiliate me? I will kill them this time!"
