Chapter 321 The decoration has started (5200 words chapter) Thank you all
"It's easy like this, so I can invest in you, but I can't invest in projects that are sure to win, and just invest my money in you." Xia Zekai said: "Get rid of Sina, Sohu, Shanda, Baidu, and Alibaba.
, Tencent, NetEase and other companies, tell me about the companies that were founded just a few months ago, which one has a market value of more than 10 million?"
Neither Zhang nor Liang spoke, indeed they didn't.
Everything requires a step-by-step process. Not to mention some newly founded companies, the market valuation of most mature Internet companies is not as much as 10 million.
This requires achieving certain results in their respective subdivisions.
"Finally, give me a price. If I think it's suitable, I'll vote for you. If it's not suitable, we can cooperate again in the future." Xia Zekai said.
Before that, Zhang Yiming was still thinking of having a tug-of-war with Xia Zekai to try to determine the price.
But how is it possible!
Xia Zekai doesn't have the time to waste this time. Any time is very precious to him. If he has this time, he might as well accompany his daughter and teach her to recognize a few more numbers. It will be more fulfilling than this.
Zhang and Liang looked at each other. Liang Rubo saw no other emotions in his old classmate's eyes, which made him feel a little comforted.
But the next moment, he heard Zhang Yiming say in a calm voice: "5 million, 20% of the shares, what does Boss Xia think?"
Xia Zekai turned to look at him and said: "900,000, 20% of the shares, I have other uses for the remaining money."
At this time, Xia Zekai was more like stating the final result. He said: "If you agree, we can sign the contract today and I will transfer the money directly to the company account. If you don't agree, you can find someone else."
"
According to Xia Zekai's quotation, Jiujiufang's valuation became 4.5 million yuan, which he lowered by another 500,000 yuan. It was not far from Zhang Yiming's expectation, and there seemed to be no such big psychological barrier to accepting it.
More importantly, Xia Zekai directly took out a card and said: "There are still more than 1.1 million here. As long as we sign the contract, I will immediately transfer 900,000 to the company account."
"Boss Xia, I admit that you succeeded." Zhang Yiming stretched out his hand towards Xia Zekai and he said: "I agree!"
"Haha!" Xia Zekai laughed loudly: "Isn't this great!"
When Zhang Yiming came, he didn't think that this matter could be done so smoothly. He and Liang Rubo came empty-handed and brought nothing. Now they were about to sign a formal contract, and they didn't have an official seal yet.
Obviously, Xia Zekai would not go to the capital again because of this matter, and Zhang Yiming would not be able to go back and forth again. He finally called the company's financial manager Xi Fengjuan and asked her to come to Qicheng with relevant information.
On Saturday morning, the two parties signed a formal contract in Xia Zekai's office at Jingtong Food Factory. Xia Zekai did not delay. He directly transferred 900,000 to the public account of 'Jiujiu Fang' and stated that he would not participate in Jiujiu Fang's public account.
manage.
After having a celebration banquet at Qicheng Hotel at noon, Xia Zekai personally drove Zhang Yiming and the others to Qicheng Railway Station in the afternoon. When Liang Rubo took his finances to buy train tickets, Xia Zekai said to Zhang Yiming: "Mr. Zhang, what's next
Within a year, I need to invest in many places, and if the development of Jiujiufang still needs money, there is nothing I can do to help."
"But after one year, I believe money will not be a problem." Xia Zekai said very confidently and domineeringly.
Zhang Yiming kept it in mind and remembered what Xia Zekai said today.
With these 900,000 yuan, I believe that if I save some money in the next few months, I can develop all the relevant products by the end of the year without any problems. For later publicity, I can only think of other solutions.
The two were talking, and not long after, Liang Rubo and the other two who went to buy tickets came back. After saying hello to Xia Zekai, they entered the station.
"Boss Xia, go back, we will meet again later." Zhang Yiming said with a childish look on his face.
…
On the high-speed train that started from Jicheng and ended in Beijing, Zhang Yiming and the other three were chatting.
"Mr. Zhang, you are so awesome. You found investment so quickly. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Xi Fengjuan, the financial manager who came over, said that she was indeed relieved.
, she had previously gone to see Zhang Yiming specifically because the funds in her company account had bottomed out. She became very anxious when she thought that the company had no money and it was time to pay wages soon.
She knew that Mr. Zhang and Liang Gong came out to attract investment this time, but she didn't expect that they would solve the funding problem in just a few days.
Although 900,000 yuan is not a lot, for them, if they spend it sparingly, it will be enough in a short period of time.
The expression on Zhang Yiming's face was very calm. He waved his hand and said: "Manager Xi, please stop complimenting me. After you go back, you first break down the expenditures and cut off all unnecessary expenditures. Save whatever you can."
.”
"As long as we can survive 4 to 5 months and wait until the product is actually released, it will be fine," Zhang Yiming said.
He and Liang Rubo discussed this issue privately. Jiujiu Fang is not yet perfect at present and needs to be more refined in all aspects. However, this refinement process will not take too long. It can be solved in three or four months. No matter how fast, it will be solved.
More than two months is enough.
But when telling Xi Fengjuan, Zhang Yiming stretched the timeline a bit to give himself enough space.
Xi Fengjuan nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I understand."
…
On the other end, after sending Zhang Yiming, Liang Rubo and Xi Fengjuan away, Xia Zekai drove directly home.
Today is Saturday again. His wife Luo Xiyun has the day off and is playing with her two daughters at home.
In the blink of an eye, October is already halfway through.
The temperature is slowly dropping, and it’s the time of year to pay the heating bill.
Xia Zekai's house is 86 square meters, with an indoor area of 72.4 square meters. The heating fee is based on the standard of 22 yuan per square meter, totaling 1,592.8 yuan.
As soon as he drove back to the community and entered the house, Luo Xiyun said to him: "Zekai, the community group issued a notice in the morning that the heating bill will be charged today and tomorrow. You go and pay the heating bill."
"Is it due so soon?" Xia Zekai wondered.
Luo Xiyun said: "It can't be too soon. The heating will be officially launched on November 15th. It's less than a month after the full implementation. Our community has been delayed again. It's really annoying."
She has already prepared 1,600 yuan in cash.
Xia Zekai had just walked in, took the money and was about to go out to the property. Luo Xiyun asked him: "You sent Mr. Zhang and the others away."
"Well, let's send it off. I'll pay the money first and I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back later." Xia Zekai waved up the 1,600 yuan in his hand and went out.
More than an hour later, when it was almost time for dinner, Xia Zekai came back cursing and said, "Don't mention it, there are so many people paying money today, and there was a long queue, and I only charged...
It’s so convenient to pay cash or swipe a card.”
"Who told me to charge for these two days? Okay, stop nagging, wash your face quickly, you look at the two of them, I'll cook." Luo Xiyun said.
Xia Zekai quickly washed his face and played with his two girls.
Luo Xiyun went into the kitchen to cook.
"Dad, just now my mother told me to learn dancing, but I don't like learning to dance." Tongtong imitated Xia Zekai and accused her mother of being cunning.
Xia Zekai was surprised when his second son said this, and asked: "Tongtong, what do you like to learn?"
Tongtong hummed and thought for a long time, then finally shook her head and said, "Dad, I don't know either."
When she finished speaking, she was so anxious that she almost cried. Xia Zekai quickly touched her head and comforted her: "It's okay, Tongtong, don't worry. Dad will take you around tomorrow. You can see what you want to learn. When you get there,
You can tell dad about it then."
"Okay!" Tongtong became happy again.
The girl likes dancing and painting. She showed Xia Zekai the painting she just painted.
Xia Zekai glanced at it and found out that what her boss was drawing was in a sketchbook. The outlines of various pictures were originally drawn on the paper, and then there was a colored reduced version of the picture in the upper left corner.
The eldest son of his family just fills in the lines with colors according to the colors on the reduced version of the picture. It seems very simple, but for a child like Yatou, who is over 3 years old, it is really difficult to have hands-on skills.
Let’s just say that most children of this age cannot yet control their hand muscles to write or draw.
Either the writing is particularly awkward, or the lines are simply off track.
A straight line can be drawn for you to the outside of the notebook. Such imaginative drawing skills will never appear in adults with rigid thinking. They have habitually set rules in their heads.
The girl did not show her ability to be imaginative. It was not easy for her to control her coloring within the lines.
Xia Zekai was proud of his daughter in his heart, and kept praising him: "Girl, you are awesome, your paintings are so beautiful."
"Thank you, Dad!" the girl said with a smile.
After being praised by Xia Zekai, she became more energetic. She held a pink brush in her hand and continued to paint.
More than half an hour later, Luo Xiyun prepared dinner, two dishes and one soup, and she gave Yatou and Tongtongxia's "children's sleep" alone, shrimp and corn stuffing.
Xia Zekai went to RT-Mart to buy this for his two daughters. It is more than twice as expensive as the same brand of quick-frozen dumplings.
"Zekai, hurry up and wash your hands and eat for them both," Luo Xiyun shouted.
Xia Zekai went to wash his hands with the girl who still wanted to paint and Tongtong who was causing trouble for her sister.
During the meal, Xia Zekai asked his wife about enrolling Yatou and Tongtong in interest classes. Luo Xiyun said: "I saw Hanmei, who is across from us, and her mother enrolled her in dance and hard-tipped calligraphy.
I'm thinking of letting them both learn something, but I don't expect them to be very good at it, because we won't be able to do it when the time comes, and we'll easily suffer in the exam."
After listening to his wife's words, Xia Zekai realized what happened. He said at that time: "You are serious. Do you need me to talk about you? In three or four months, our family will no longer have the same door.
, why do you have to compare this with others?"
Luo Xiyun was choked badly. Her husband was right about one thing. The new house they bought in Ziyu Garden was opposite their own door. Now they have connected the two houses from the balcony.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiyun said: "Zekai, Master Zhang Guolong called me and said that the renovation has started. If you are okay tomorrow, let's go over and take a look first."
"Okay!" Xia Zekai agreed.
After the meal, Xia Zekai told Luo Xiyun about the investment discussions between him and Zhang Yiming.
Luo Xiyun heard her husband say that he had invested 900,000 yuan, and asked him: "So you have invested all the money, do you still have money for decoration?"
"I still have more than 200,000 yuan here. If it's still not enough, I plan to sell the two garages in Lin Ao Community. It will be of no use if we keep them. It's not convenient to use them as warehouses. It's not as good as the warehouse under the two-story building.
Time will come in handy." Xia Zekai said.
He had already planned this before, and he had no intention of keeping the two garages to increase their value and wait for a price to be sold.
After Luo Xiyun heard what he said, she stopped asking about this matter. She felt that Xia Zekai just had to have a good idea, and don't throw it all away as soon as he invested, disrupting the normal rhythm of life.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at home, Xia Zekai took his mother and daughter to the Purple Jade Garden.
When they came over, the doors of rooms 1601 and 1602 were both open, and there were sounds of "ping-ping-pong-pong" and people talking inside.
Xia Zekai held Tongtong in his arms, and let his wife hold the girl, and the couple passed there together.
There were four people working in the room, and there was dust and debris flying around, making it look a bit messy.
Xia Zekai subconsciously covered his daughter's mouth and nose, feeling a little regretful that he had forgotten to wear a mask.
“Mr.
He turned around and saw Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun coming in. He already knew that Xia Zekai was the other boss of Cade Home Decoration, and he didn't dare to treat them carelessly.
Xia Zekai waved his hand and said, "I'll just take a look, you can just do your thing."
Zhang Guolong said hello to Luo Xiyun again, and then continued to supervise the work.
Xia Zekai told Luo Xiyun: "He is okay and quite responsible."
When Luo Xiyun heard what he said, she rolled her eyes at him. She knew that she was renovating the house for her boss, how could she not be responsible?
The room was too messy. When the on-site workers hammered down, all kinds of cement particles flew away. It was too dangerous here. Xia Zekai and his wife took a brief look, said hello to Zhang Guolong and left.
After coming down from the 16th floor, Yatou and Tongtong broke away from their father and mother's arms and ran around them happily.
"According to this progress, the decoration will be almost completed by the end of November. Let it dry for a few months. Then we can move it here in March or April next year when the cold is not too cold." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun did not refute. She pointed at the two girls who were running wildly and said, "Then what about their schooling? Should we ask in advance about the schooling policy here?"
"Let me ask around, it's not a big problem." Xia Zekai said.
While they were talking, He Yueyao came out of the sales office to bask in the sun. She turned around and saw Xia Zekai. She was quite impressed by Xia Zekai and she even took the initiative to come over and say hello.
When Xia Zekai thought about whether this was a ready-made person, he asked: "Manager He, I want to ask something, what is the policy here if my daughter transfers to kindergarten?"
He Yueyao said directly: "The kindergarten is provided by the community. Mr. Xia does not need to prepare anything. When the time comes, he can just go to the kindergarten to report with the house purchase contract."
She continued: "It's a bit more troublesome to transfer directly to a primary school. First, your household registration must be here, and then you can just bring the real estate certificate or house purchase contract. If your household registration is not here, you have to apply for an individual business license, and then hold the house purchase contract.
The contracts go over and get lined up.”
Xia Zekai understood now. He blinked at his wife and thought to himself, what I just said was right.
Luo Xiyun didn't even look at him.
After saying a few words to He Yueyao, they left.
He Yueyao looked at the backs of their family of four walking away hand in hand, and couldn't help feeling envious in her heart.
She knew that their family of three could not achieve such sweet harmony.
…
After leaving Ziyu Garden, Xia Zekai asked his wife where he wanted to go. Luo Xiyun originally wanted to find a better interest class, but when he thought about them, they would move from Qiyun Garden Community to the next year.
Now that Purple Jade Garden is here, it doesn’t make much sense to look for interest classes there now.
But now it’s not convenient to find one near Purple Jade Garden for classes.
"Whatever, I don't know where I went." Luo Xiyun said this irresponsibly.
Xia Zekai pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's still early and I really can't find a place. Let's go to the food court."
There is no food in the food street. Ninety percent of them are shops selling clothing and shoes. I don’t know who gave this street this name.
After finding a parking space to park at the Ginza Mall in the north, Xia Zekai's family of four walked south hand in hand. Not far away, there was a trail that led directly to the food street.
As soon as I walked onto the trail, I saw all kinds of fried stinky tofu, fried quail eggs, people buying meat buns, rice noodles, cold skin...
The shouts of various small vendors came and went, making it very lively.
"A set of pancakes and fruits. Would you like three pieces?"
"Don't miss it if you're passing by. Zhang Ji's fried stinky tofu costs two yuan a portion. I'm sure you'll want it again."
"We are selling Liangpi. The Liangpi we make ourselves costs one yuan a portion."
Listening to this price, Xia Zekai couldn't help but compare it with the later price. Such a comparison made him feel happy. He thought to himself that the price was really cheap.
His wife said: "It stinks so much that it will kill someone. Let's go quickly."
The girl also covered her mouth and nose and said, "It smells so bad."
Even Tongtong, a snack foodie, was unwilling to eat these things. She stuck out her tongue from time to time with a look of disgust on her face.
There is no delicious food in the food street, but there are beauties.
When Xia Zekai held Tongtong and squeezed forward in the crowd, he glanced twice. Even in mid-October, the weather had slowly begun to cool down.
But there are many beautiful girls walking on this street wearing shorts and showing white skin. Xia Zekai really wants to ask them: "Guliang, aren't you cold?"
Finally, I focused my attention on my wife walking in front, thinking to myself: "These red and pink skeletons can't even try to seduce me."
