Cao Mo did not have time to participate in the preparation of the B&B. As the "plenipotentiary representative" of Felician Building Materials Company, he then worked with Chen Feng, Wendy Scarf and others under the arrangement of the Xinhai Construction Industry Second Design Institute.
I went to visit a cement factory located in Jiangsu Province, which was designed and built by the second construction company. I also stayed there for five days to exchange and study.
As a lecturer at Oyo State Junior College, Wendy Scarfe was lured to Ibogu by Cao Mo with a "high salary" and presided over the construction and operation of Ibogu Cement Plant from scratch. She may have lacked research on the latest technology in cement production.
, may not be familiar enough with modern production management processes, but the production management experience forced by Cao Mo is definitely not inferior to that of any manager of a domestic cement factory.
After five days of exchange and study, Wendy Scarf benefited much more than Cao Mo and others.
In addition to cutting off 10% of the cost, Cao Mo also wants to build a new cement plant. He definitely hopes that China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation will also participate, but whether it is Xinhai Construction Industry Second Institute's general contractor or China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation's general contractor,
Xinhai Construction is only responsible for the training of technical and production personnel. He also needs to communicate with the CCECC branch in Cardiff.
After returning to Xinhai, we visited several local machinery and equipment companies in Xinhai in the next few days.
During the whole process, Cao Mo was sullen and talked about rebates with the manufacturers he contacted to see how much profit margin there was to squeeze out...
After almost ten days of busy work, when Cao Mo was free, his father and Chen Rong had already decided on the location of the new B&B.
The three adjacent courtyards are closer to the intersection of Tianzifang. The three landlords have agreed to sign eight-year long-term contracts. At that time, the courtyard walls can be opened up to create a compound with up to 24 rooms.
Homestay.
The city entrance is relatively good, and the annual rent for the three houses is naturally quite gratifying, up to 500,000. To formally sign the contract, one year's rent must be paid in advance to the landlord.
Jiaying was still rushed to study. In the past ten days, Chen Rong mainly accompanied his father to inspect various B&B hotels in Xinhai City.
However, until now, his dad is still a little undecided on whether to position the B&B as more affordable or boutique, mid-to-high-end.
On a weekend in early December, Cao Mo did not go to Dongsheng Building to check his attendance.
He didn't get up until after eight o'clock in the morning. Instead, he worked on the computer in bed and waited for replies to various emails. At nine o'clock, he went downstairs and saw his father making an appointment with someone from the decoration design company to discuss something in the main room; Jiaying did not go.
School, Lai stood aside and listened.
Cao Mo listened for a while, and his father hoped that the other party could provide a set of quotations for the economical model and the high-quality model for reference.
The person in charge of the decoration design company who came to contact me was a little impatient. Probably because he saw his father's guilty conscience, he directly proposed to pay the design fees for the two sets of plans in advance.
Jiaying always felt that any decoration design company should waive the design fee, not to mention the design fees for two sets of plans. She would argue with the other party so aggressively.
Cao Mo shook his head, took the toothbrush bowl and went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up and returning to the main room, he saw that the people from the decoration company had left, and listened to Jiaying complaining to his father:
"These decoration companies know how to find ways to steal money, but their standards are not much higher - if we really outsource the project to them, we don't know how much money they will make! If we decorate ourselves, we may not be worse than them.
!”
Cao Mo could feel that his father still couldn't let go and was under the pressure of investing two million. At this time, he was obviously encouraged by Jiaying to take a conservative route. He really wanted to do everything from design to decoration himself, and spare no effort to do it.
The most cost-effective solution.
Jiaying has a strong sense of economics, which is related to her experience over the years, but it is also true that this temporarily restricts her from being conservative in everything she does.
Jiaying will have space and time to grow in the future, but her father can't do this!
Cao Mo walked over and sat down and said: "If it is positioned as an economical model, simple and comfortable, then you can do whatever you want. But with that vixen Chen Rong, how can she be interested in investing in a cheap B&B? She doesn't say anything.
, then she is giving you face, dad, if you really want to get close to this rich woman, you must not be weak! You used to be such a free and easy person, how come you have become shrinking after four years in prison? "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Xiong laughed angrily and wanted to hit Cao Mo on the head.
"What I mean is that dad, if you are just a low-cost hotel owner, don't squeeze into Chen Rong's circle in this life. But if one day you can make this B&B a brand in Xinhai, you can join me."
Chen Rong, others won’t laugh at you for being a freeloader!" Cao Mo said.
"Eat soft food, eat soft food, you kid is only thinking about this immoral thing!" Cao Mo said angrily.
"If you can get close to Chen Rong, I can walk sideways in Dongsheng!" As soon as Cao Mo said this, he saw that his father was really going to knock him on the head, so he quickly dodged.
"By the way, just now you and that decoration design company asked for two sets of quotation plans with such huge differences. It was obvious that you were guilty, so why would they ignore you? If you really want to consider two sets of plans, you should find them separately.
The two companies are asking for quotations..." Cao Mo continued to remind his father before going into the kitchen to have breakfast.
"Brother, do you really think it's not risky for our dad to just start a boutique B&B? You don't need to be a little more conservative and build a cheap B&B first to gain experience?"
Cao Mo was in the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and salted duck eggs. When he saw Jiaying walking in a little worried, he knew that his father was a little arrogant and had been tempted by him, but Jiaying had experienced it at a young age.
There were too many twists and turns, so I didn’t dare to take too big steps, but instead started to worry.
"What's the key to this," Cao Mo said. "Not to mention Rich Chen's other assets, her shares in Dongsheng listed company are worth three to four billion. She doesn't care about the gain or loss of one million. If our father is afraid of it,
, in the end, she could barely make ends meet by running a low-cost B&B, and Rich Mrs. Chen would not even mention dividends. She would only regard the money as compensation for our father’s four years in prison, and she would feel at ease from now on.
I feel like I owe our dad something. There is a little spark between Mrs. Chen and our dad now, but they haven’t reached the point of fighting each other yet! When the time comes, Mrs. Chen shouldn’t say that she has no thoughts about our dad. Our dad really wants someone to run a low-cost B&B.
, will he feel that he is worthy of Mrs. Chen? So in order for our family to be able to get close to Mrs. Chen, you have to cheer for our dad and not hold him back! According to me, boutique B&Bs are not high enough, so if you want to do it, you should be like luxury B&Bs.
Do it - the number of rooms should be as small as possible, not too many. Twenty-four rooms are too crowded - the remaining 1.5 million should be invested in hardware and software decoration, and it should be made with cultural characteristics. You don't have to worry
There is no source of high-end customers. You can go online and check now how much the annual reception expenses of Dongsheng listed companies are. By then, if our B&B is included in the hotel selection list of Dongsheng's high-end customers, the annual cost will almost be reduced.
It will be a tie... Moreover, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Our family is a low-cost B&B, and Mrs. Chen really can't help except for investing. But if we are a luxury B&B, think about it.
With the rich woman’s taste and living standards, does she have to use her hands and feet to help our dad?”
"Yes, I will work hard to marry Mrs. Chen in our family!" Jiaying was very encouraged when she heard this goal.
