Sun Dahai is very supportive of Zhu Lihua’s step-by-step strategy. When a company enters a new market, reputation and qualifications are very important and cannot be completely compensated by money.
However, his company wants to rent a house in Silicon Valley? Upstart Sun Dahai definitely disagrees with this.
He proposed to Zhu Lihua that the company invest an additional US$50 million to US$100 million to purchase land and build office buildings in the core areas of Silicon Valley.
Sun Dahai said casually: "You studied in college and graduate school in the United States. Haven't you heard that during the Great Gold Rush era in the West, the people who finally got rich were actually the people who opened convenience stores?"
Zhu Lihua clapped her hands, yes, since she is optimistic about the future development of Silicon Valley, then if she dives in and works hard to develop technology, while also doing side business, the income may not be worse than doing research and development.
Zhu Lihua just didn't expect this. After being reminded by Sun Dahai, she immediately became a keen-eyed investor.
"The office building will be mainly small and medium-sized units, mainly for small R&D companies with 10 or 20 people. At the same time, we will try our best to improve office and living supporting services, so that those technology geeks can enjoy work and life without leaving the office building.
fun of."
After Zhu Lihua casually said what she thought of immediately, she saw Sun Dahai giving her a thumbs up.
Zhu Lihua smiled knowingly. With such a boss, she could really show her talents and do something great.
Sun Dahai thought for a moment and said to Zhu Lihua: "You can consider that the office building developers in Silicon Valley have arranged for the Sewijing Hao Cafe and No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant to move in. This can be regarded as keeping the money from outsiders."
Zhu Lihua said: "There is no problem in letting these two companies settle in. However, can the food style of No. 9 Hotpot Restaurant be accepted by Americans? The Suiyuejinghao Cafe also has a style that combines Chinese and Western styles. They will have
Good profit?”
"While maintaining its own style, the variety and taste of dishes must be updated to adapt to local people's habits. This is a problem that any catering company must face when operating across regions.
In addition, I think the effect of promoting Chinese food or a combination of Chinese and Western fast food in Silicon Valley may be second only to Chinatown.
Because most of the customers here are technical geeks. They don’t actually have high requirements for the style and taste of food. Relatively speaking, their incomes are higher, and their consumption tendencies are more likely to be affected by surrounding people or publicity and promotion.
In addition, we need to maintain 24-hour operation services based on their work and life characteristics, and carry out telephone ordering and food delivery services, and often organize some publicity and promotion activities, and use the membership form to tie up their appetites and wallets."
Zhu Lihua thought for a while and said, "You are right. If we persist in this way, it is really possible for these two stores to be established."
"Anyway, it's still early. Let's tell them the plan first and let them use their brains to find a way. The road has been paved for them. Whether they can go and how far they can go depends on their ability and courage."
Before Zhu Lihua left, Sheng Zhiwen and Old William also arrived in the capital. This was also Sheng Zhiwen's first time in the capital. Fortunately, he was a foreigner himself, and Old William was with him, so he was safer in the capital than in the capital.
Xiangjiang is high.
Sun Dahai arranged a car and driver for them and left them alone for the time being. Because Sun Dahai was going to take the final exam. Although it was not difficult, he still had to prepare for the exam seriously even if he was pretending. It only took three days anyway.
Yes, other primary school final exams only test two subjects: Chinese and mathematics. The experimental primary school is a national key and a reform pilot school of the Ministry of Education, so in addition to Chinese and mathematics, it also tests ideological and moral character, nature, history,
Arts music and fine arts, and sports.
Fortunately, the exams for art and physical education are not a one-time assessment, but the accumulation of scores in multiple daily quizzes. But even so, it took Sun Dahai three days to pass several subjects, making it like a college entrance examination.
After Sun Dahai finished the exam, Sheng Zhiwen and Old William came to report on last year's work. In fact, they didn't have much to do. Sun Dahai always thought that Old William was greedy and went to the capital to satisfy his craving.
Otherwise, why didn't Old William go anywhere else during the days when Sun Dahai was taking the exam, and instead walked around Dongsi, Drum Tower and Niu Street every day?
Locals in these places all know that they are where all kinds of small businesses in the capital are located.
Sheng Zhiwen was not interested in eating and drinking, so through Sun Dahai's introduction, he plunged into Sanlitun. It is still far from being a bar street in his previous life, with only three or four foreign-owned bars operating here.
Comrade Sheng Zhiwen is still very dedicated. Within a few days, he became familiar with the foreign owners of those bars.
Through Sheng Zhiwen's narration, Sun Dahai learned that Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong is now so famous that even the bar operators in the capital know about it, and two of them have visited Hong Kong in person.
This cannot be blamed on Sun Dahai. There are currently no clear regulations on minors entering bars in China, but he is still very self-disciplined. Although he occasionally drinks twice, he never shows up in an open bar.
Starting this year, Lan Kwai Fong Development and Management Company has made profits on its books, and the company's three major shareholders have decided to pay dividends of HK$5 million.
20% of this money will be used as the first dividend and distributed to the Lan Kwai Fong homeowners who provided the land. On average, each of the hundreds of homeowners can receive more than 1,000 yuan.
The dividend money is additionally paid by the company. The land invested by the homeowner will be withdrawn at a fixed price of 5 per year and returned to the homeowner according to the price when the contract was signed. This is a fixed cost and has nothing to do with dividends.
The money is not a lot, but the company has already made a profit even before the construction of Lan Kwai Fong Phase 3 has started. The Lan Kwai Fong project is really very profitable.
Everyone knows that the income of Lan Kwai Fong will increase every year as the project progresses. Therefore, the homeowners are looking forward to Lan Kwai Fong getting better and better in the future.
Sheng Zhiwen is now so proud that he is officially invited to attend high-end business events such as the annual charity meeting organized by the Hong Kong government.
Theoretically speaking, he is now considered a high-level figure in Hong Kong's business community. The rise of Lan Kwai Fong has indeed paved a starry road to success for him.
Therefore, he was very grateful to Sun Dahai for building such a platform for him and strongly invited him to join.
Now, not only has his status in Xiangjiang been greatly improved, but his clothing business has also become easier to run, not to mention that his California Bar in Building 1, Lan Kwai Fong, is making money every day.
Not only did he recoup his investment in the bar early and settle the purchase expenses of the store, he even earned back the money he invested in the Lan Kwai Fong Development Management Company through the income from the bar.
Nowadays, it seems that the bar has become the main business of Zhiwen Sheng. However, Zhiwen Sheng himself does not have many ideas about what he is mainly engaged in. Since the bar can make money easily, he should use more snacks in the bar. 11
