Chapter 197: The little girl at the front desk is cool
Kahn invited Chen Mo into the living room.
In the living room, a brown-haired beauty brought tea to Chen Mo and the others...
"This is Laili, my son's wife." Kahn introduced: "They founded the Lycra company."
"Hello Mr. Chen Mo, this is the organic tea purchased from China in our store. Please taste it and give us some advice." Laili smiled slightly.
"The scent is good..." Chen Mo picked up the cup and smelled the tea.
Chen Mo didn't even know as much about tea as he did about wine. He just looked at the color of the tea and pretended to give a thumbs up...
"Mo...can I call him that?" Kahn said.
"Can."
"Lycra Store is a chain store opened in high-end communities. Each store covers an area of more than 700 square meters... The current business is clothing, daily necessities, etc." Kahn looked at Chen Mo: "I am ready to invest money
Transform them and build them into community boutique supermarkets..."
Chen Mo frowned. According to Kahn, the so-called chain stores are probably community grocery stores.
A store like this has a parking lot outside, and a 700-square-meter store is too small.
Even the food store opened by Bai Xiaoou's wife exceeds 700 square meters in terms of area.
Kahn said and took out a thick piece of information. Chen Mo flipped through a few pages and frowned slightly: "Do you want me to invest in your company?"
Kahn looked embarrassed: "Actually, I should visit you. I think if you own a high-end community boutique supermarket, it will be very beneficial to the development of River Valley Ranch."
Chen Mo was speechless for a moment.
A high-end community is not a community for the rich... Chen Mo briefly looked at the Lycra company information. He didn't even think about drinking tea. He stood up and wanted to leave. He felt that Kahn was a big liar...
Brett also looked embarrassed.
"What's the valuation of your company?" Chen Mo took a deep breath.
"11 million. You can ask the appraisal company to value it... I will first talk about the business philosophy of the supermarket. If River Valley Ranch joins, and then contact Ellison Logistics to become its shareholder, I am sure to build a Lycra store.
Become a high-end boutique supermarket chain."
Controlling a supermarket chain?
A supermarket chain valued at 11 million yuan...high-end? boutique?
You don’t have to read the company’s information carefully. It should have very high liabilities...
Chen Mo has considered the issue of self-production and self-marketing, that is, building a green store chain, supermarket, and small store.
However, the road of self-production and self-marketing is difficult. The main problems are management and logistics, as well as capital investment.
How much will investing in a chain of small supermarkets help River Valley Ranch? It’s really hard to say...
A boutique supermarket chain relies on long-term reputation. For example, Albertsons stores, as Bright said, this company is not easy to mess with...
Chen Mo took a sip of tea and prepared to leave, saying: "I will consider this matter and give you an answer in a few days."
"Okay, if you are willing to invest in Laika, I can work part-time as a sales consultant for River Valley Ranch."
"Well... I need time to think about it." Chen Mo closed his eyes and was speechless.
Brett followed Chen Mo out. Knowing that Chen Mo was in a bad mood, he said: "Boss, let me drive."
"OK." Chen Mo handed over the car keys.
It is indeed not easy to run a large ranch.
With a big family and a big business, there are many things to do. You will also encounter all kinds of inexplicable things...
River Valley Ranch is an integrated dairy farm. As it stands now, goat milk is the main income of the dairy farm, and will occupy the bulk for a long time.
"Boss, I know several Lycra stores. There is one not far from here. It is a very ordinary small chain supermarket..." Bright said.
"Um."
“Would you invest in this company?”
"Considering..."
Bright sneered: "If you decide to invest, I can invest with you." If you invest in a supermarket chain, you can make more money than investing in a farm.
"That guy Kahn is not as simple as he looks on the surface. I don't like complicated people, and I don't like doing things that are too complicated..." Chen Mo likes to own a large area of land, produce it, sell it, and stick to his own land.
Satisfied and at ease. There are too many intrigues in the business world, and Chen Mo feels like he can't cope with it. He's not a smart person, so he won't do things that smart people do...
The car was about to enter the middle of the valley. Brett pointed to the Kahn store on the roadside. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary small store, nothing special. There were only a few cars parked in an open-air parking lot outside the store...
Surrounded by middle- and upper-class communities, even if money is invested in decorating and renovating the supermarket, it cannot support the products of River Valley Ranch.
River Valley Ranch not only needs a sales director, consultant and other talents who are proficient in sales. Judging from today's events, Chen Mo also needs a financial consultant, investment consultant and the like...
"Going directly back to the ranch?"
"To the Pereira Tower."
The Pereira Building is a 25-story building in the San Francisco business district, where the headquarters of Huafeng Group rents offices.
It won't be long before Huafeng Group will move to Napa Valley...
Chen Mo wants to talk to Bai Xiaoou, or go to the elite headhunting company on the 6th floor of the building and ask them to help find a powerful sales talent.
Chen Mo can't figure out how to sell the products of River Valley Ranch to maximize profits. As for Brett, he can just concentrate on managing the work in the ranch from now on...
Chen Mo didn't want to make the ranch too troublesome, nor did he want to be greedy for too much.
The ranch needs to establish its own sales channels, but it is impossible to produce and sell all the products by itself. It is too troublesome and it does not have the ability.
Investing in the Lycra supermarket chain may be possible in the future, but for now, it will not be of much help to River Valley Ranch. Just like when I met with Kahn just now, Kahn didn't mention the matter of acting as an agent for fresh milk from the ranch, because he
You know, the goat milk from River Valley Ranch cannot be sold in their supermarkets...
Chen Mo rarely goes to the company to see Bai Xiaoou...
The last time I came here, Huafeng Group was called "Tangxia Yipin", which has the same name as the restaurant.
Currently, Huafeng Group occupies one floor of the building, while Tangxia Yipin, Lao Shufeng Hotpot, and Shufeng Fast Food occupy another floor.
The company's receptionist had been replaced, and Chen Mo walked over: "I'm here to see your chairman." Chen Mo saw that the company's front desk was pretty, so he leaned over the counter and looked at her with a smile, and said in Chinese.
There is a Chinese girl at the front desk, Liang, who is nearly 1.7 meters tall, with an oval face, long hair, big eyes and a small cherry mouth...
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment? You need to make an appointment in advance to see our chairman..." My sister-in-law Liang seemed to be fascinated by Chen Mo's handsome appearance. She looked at Chen Mo for several seconds before she realized what she was doing.
"No. I don't know the company's reservation phone number." Chen Mo just called Bai Xiaoou, and the guy's phone was turned off.
"The chairman doesn't see anyone without an appointment. Do you know the chairman?"
"I know him. He's in the company, right?"
"Hmm... I don't know." My sister-in-law said with doubts in her eyes: "You know the chairman, just call him on his personal phone."
"His cell phone is turned off."
"Secretary to the chairman?"
"I don't know his secretary..." Chen Mo blinked.
Sister-in-law Liang's big eyes showed doubts, and she was alert: "Tell me your name and what you want to see the chairman for. I can make an appointment for you, but I don't know when the chairman will see you."
