After curing Minister Cao's illness, Chen Ran did not stay in Zhongdu for long and returned to the capital with He Zhenhua in the afternoon of the next day.
He Zhenhua arrived in Zhongdu with his classmate Chen Zhongshu. Along with them was Yang Shijie who was called by Chen Ran. Chen Ran wrote a check of 90 million and a check of 5 million to Chen Zhongshu.
I took over Longquan Villa.
Ninety million is the price of Longquan Villa, but five million is the price of several properties in the city. Originally, He Zhenhua only asked him to pay 90 million, and those properties were all given to Chen Ran as a bonus, but
Chen then insisted and added another five million.
The price of Longquan Villa gave him a huge advantage, and it would be unjustifiable to give away a few properties for free. Although the money given away by Longquan Villa was more than that, the friendship price was a friendship price, and the gift was a gift.
Chen Ran also has his own principles.
Chen Zhongshu, the owner of Longquan Villa, owes his current achievements to He Zhenhua. When he was in school, his family conditions were not as good as Wang Liang's, but obviously, he and Wang Liang were both lucky to have classmates like He Zhenhua and Chen Ran respectively.
Chen Zhongshu disposed of his domestic assets and went abroad not because he did not want to stay in China, but because He Zhenhua needed a long-term and trustworthy person in charge of a project abroad, so he chose Chen Zhongshu to take over because there was no suitable candidate.
From this, we can undoubtedly see the relationship between the two. Therefore, Longquan Villa was basically half sold and half given to Chen Ran. It is said that after knowing that Chen Zhongshu planned to sell Longquan Villa, several bosses contacted Chen Zhongshu and offered the lowest price.
There are hundreds of millions of people.
It was only at this time that Chen Ran learned about the status of Longquan Villa in Tianzhong City and the province. In addition to accommodation and meals in the Villa, Longquan Villa also has a horse farm, a hunting ground, and a dog fighting ring. These are the main ones, and there are also some affiliated ones.
Surrounding industries, such as mountains and forests, mineral water.
It can be seen that this old classmate of He Zhenhua is a very thoughtful and business-savvy person.
The horse farm and hunting grounds of Longquan Villa are quite famous in the province, but they are not as good as the dog fighting ring of the Villa.
Because the dog fighting ring in Longquan Villa is the largest and most famous in the province. Although there are dog fighting rings in other places, they are not large-scale. However, the dog fighting ring in Longquan Villa has formed a large scale very early. If we say that Longquan Villa has
If the dog fighting ring here is a real dog fighting ring, then the dog fighting rings in other places are like guerrilla fighting, occasionally organized and organized, and shooting here and there.
It was also at this time that Chen Ran learned that the predecessor of Longquan Villa was actually a dog fighting ring. At that time, it was very famous in the province and nearby provinces and regions. However, later on, the management of this area was tightened and it was severely punished.
The surface moved underground, and later it was acquired by He Zhenhua and Chen Zhongshu and built a comprehensive villa like this.
After these years of operation, not only young men from the province often come here, but also many young and old people from other areas and even the capital come here to play.
Now that Chen Zhongshu wants to sell the villa, there are naturally many people who are interested, especially those young and old. If He Zhenhua hadn't been eager for Chen Zhongshu to get rid of the villa quickly, Chen Ran would never have been able to get it.
Given the relationship between He Zhenhua and Chen Ran, it was natural that the sale to Chen Ran would be at the lowest price.
After Chen Ran learned about the situation, he wanted to increase the price for Chen Zhongshu, but He Zhenhua stopped him, saying that it was already agreed upon and it would be nothing to add more, and he would just make up for it later.
There was no price increase for Longquan Villa, but Chen Ran insisted on giving Chen Zhongshu another five million for those properties in the city.
With He Zhenhua as the middleman, Chen Ran gave the money, which meant that the villa belonged to Chen Ran. He didn't even issue a receipt, just waiting for Chen Zhongshu and Yang Shijie to return to Tianzhong to hand over the property.
Then Chen Ran talked to Yang Shijie about the security company in private, and finally called Wang Wentao over to introduce them to each other. However, except for Wang Wentao's registration of the company and the transfer of 50 million to the company's account, the rest
Chen Ran didn't even interfere.
During the trip to Zhongdu, in addition to treating Minister Cao and setting up a security company, Chen Ran also gained something else, that is, he hired Cao Huiyao to manage the jewelry company for him. It was also at this time that Chen Ran learned that Cao Huiyao was not only an MBA student from a prestigious university, but also an MBA student from a prestigious university.
The Master of Management also has experience in managing a company.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about Chen Ran's current relationship with the Cao family.
That day, I sent Minister Cao back to Cao's house, and had dinner directly at Cao's house in the evening. What happened was that, during the meal, there were naturally a lot of emotions in the conversation. Perhaps it was because of the scene that Mrs. Cao didn't know it.
They also talked about Cao Huiyao's younger brother. Speaking of this, Minister Cao seemed a little silent, but after Mrs. Cao finished speaking, he suddenly asked Mrs. Cao, how about we accept Chen Ran as our godson?
Chen Ran was shocked when he heard this. Although he had a good relationship with the Cao family, he never thought about getting married, but in the end he agreed.
First of all, his current relationship with the Cao family is not much different from that of the same family. Secondly, looking at Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao, especially the nervous and expectant eyes of Mrs. Cao looking at him, he really can't say no.
Come, besides, it’s not a big deal for him to recognize a godson. Anyway, he has such a good relationship with the Cao family, and both Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao have always treated him as a family member.
Seeing Chen Ran agree, Mrs. Cao was so happy that she gave Chen Ran a big red envelope on the spot. This also let Chen Ran know that the matter of acknowledging the marriage was obviously discussed between Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao.
Although Chen Ran and the Cao family had a good relationship in the past, Chen Ran and the Cao family were not related after all. Seriously speaking, the relationship between Chen Ran and the Cao family was always a bit unjust. Now that they have become relatives, the relationship is naturally not so good.
It's different. Let's not talk about Minister Cao. I just say that Mrs. Cao is closer to Chen Ran than to her biological daughter. Not to mention Cao Huiyao is jealous, even Ruoruo is dissatisfied, so much so that she is unwilling to change her name to uncle.
.
Before they recognized each other, there were some things that were hard to say. After they recognized each other, Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao naturally became concerned about Chen Ran's development prospects and personal life. Although Chen Ran didn't say much, he also mentioned that he was planning to acquire someone in the near future.
Plans for a jewelry company.
What he never expected was that Mrs. Cao knew a lot about the jewelry industry. Whether it was the questions she asked or the various links and processes of the jewelry company she talked about, she was much more professional than him, a half-time monk.
Chen Ran asked in surprise, and then he found out that Mrs. Cao's family was doing this, and it was a time-honored brand in Yangzhou.
In the early years, when Mrs. Cao's father, Cao Huiyao's grandfather, was still alive, Mrs. Cao had been working as a deputy manager in a jewelry company. Later, after her father passed away, her brothers and uncles divided the family property and she retired from the company to stay at home.
Became a full-time wife.
Chen Ran obviously never expected that Mrs. Cao had such a background and experience, which was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for him.
Although he knew a lot about the jewelry industry, his understanding was only superficial. Now that he had such an expert in the industry, it would naturally allow him to understand more about its ins and outs.
Next, Chen Ran naturally asked for advice on many processes and issues in this area. In fact, he didn't need to ask for advice at all. Mrs. Cao, who had just adopted her godson, was obviously more enthusiastic about his jewelry company than he himself was.
Through learning from Mrs. Cao, Chen Ran also had a deeper understanding of this industry. The main reason why he wanted to set up a jewelry company was obviously the raw materials. With his special ability, he didn't have to worry about the supply of goods.
Before that, he had always thought that with the supply of goods, he would not have to worry about the development of the jewelry company, but after listening to Mrs. Cao talk about the secrets of the jewelry industry, he realized that his idea was a bit simple.
First of all, a large jewelry company needs so many supplies. Can he alone meet the needs of the entire company?
Secondly, for jewelry companies, supply is indispensable. This is true, but having supply does not mean that the company will become bigger. In fact, there are many companies that are not short of supply, but few have become big.
.
If you just start a small company, that's fine, but if you want to make it bigger, it obviously involves many aspects.
For example, in terms of regionality, the jewelry industry is actually a very regional industry.
Jewelry can also be regarded as a cultural industry to a certain extent, and local people in each place have an unconscious sense of protecting local cultural industries.
This is one, and the second is the market problem. This is no longer the era when the jewelry industry has just emerged. Thousands of jewelry companies across the country have already divided up the market. If you want to enter a new market, you don’t need to open a few businesses in this market.
It can be done with just one store, and many times you can’t even open a store.
This is not shocking. It is better in first-tier cities, but it is basically the same in lower-tier cities. This is also the reason why so many domestic jewelry companies are mostly limited to developing in one area. It is not that they do not want to develop outside.
But the market has been divided up, and if you want to enter again, you can only rely on strong connections.
How many jewelry companies can achieve national development with so many jewelry companies? And most of these companies were established in the early stages when the market was blank.
Regionality is a problem, and then there is capital. To put it bluntly, it is the factions in the industry. There are Beijing-Tianjin jewelers, maritime jewelers, Suzhou-Hangzhou jewelers, Nanyang jewelers, and Yunnan jewelers. These five major jewelers divide it.
It covers the capital, supply, processing and market of the entire jewelry industry.
Capital controls the supply of goods, the supply of goods controls the processing, and the processing controls the market. These are equal to four levels. If a jewelry company only does the market, it will undoubtedly be difficult to get bigger, and others will make a lot of money.
How to make it big.
These are all issues involved in running a jewelry company. In the past, Chen Ran could only understand how to open a jewelry store rather than a jewelry company.
Although it sounds difficult, Chen Ran's idea of acquiring the jewelry company has not wavered at all. He can't guarantee whether the jewelry company will become bigger, but he can obviously guarantee that it may not make money. After all, what he is doing is a "business without capital".
”.
At the last moment, Mrs. Cao obviously wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help Chen Ran, so she asked Chen Ran if he had any difficulties now. At present, Chen Ran didn't have any difficulties. If he had any, then
There is a lack of people who can manage finances for themselves in the company.
The company's management can be recruited from outside, but you must have someone you trust to help you look after the company.
Chen Ran explained his situation. At first, Mrs. Cao didn't have any suitable candidates. But at this moment, Minister Cao, who had been silent, suddenly asked Cao Huiyao, didn't she want to work in the radio station?
Cao Huiyao didn't expect that she had something to do with her, so she opened her mouth in surprise, but before she could say anything, she was "betrayed" by Mrs. Cao, who had just recognized her godson and only had her godson in her heart.
Only then did Chen Ran learn that Cao Huiyao not only had an MBA from a prestigious university, but had also served as the regional general manager of China in a foreign company.
For Chen Ran, it would be best if Cao Huiyao could help him. Fortunately, although Cao Huiyao seemed a little hesitant at first because of Ruoruo, she finally agreed after his invitation and Mrs. Cao's persuasion.
Of course, even though he agreed, it was obviously impossible to follow him immediately.
After making an agreement with Cao Huiyao, Chen Ran returned to the capital with He Zhenhua in the afternoon of the next day.
