Chapter 209: One person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven
When He Maosong and Luo Yang walked out of the sauna, they looked like cooked shrimps.
After seeing this, Liu Haishan and Cai Fujun couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After the steaming just now, all the smell of alcohol from last night had dissipated, so when the four of them walked out of the bathroom, they felt relaxed all over.
The four people set a time to sign the contract after the holiday and left.
This year's National Day is a week-long holiday, from the 1st to the 7th.
Jiang Fan was picked up by her family's car last night. Luo Yang talked to her on the phone and agreed to go back on the 3rd.
After all, she also has to accompany her family.
Needless to say, Jiang Wen will definitely not go home.
Luo Yang has already reassured her that all the income from this store belongs to her. Under such circumstances, how could the money-grubber be willing to leave?
As for having dinner together or something like that, forget it. During the first few days, I wouldn’t go home until the store closed at night.
So after parting with Liu Haishan and the others, he went to the flagship store to take a look, and did not drive back to Songjiang University Town until a little after four o'clock.
As soon as the car entered Songjiang, the cell phone rang.
It definitely couldn’t be Jiang Wen. Luo Yang picked up the phone from the teacup holder and took a look. It was Shen Jinglan calling.
"Boss Luo, I heard that you have been promoted to vice president of the Minhang project company. Congratulations!"
No one else would tell her about this except Xu Weinong.
"It's just a figurehead, not in charge of any specific affairs."
Luo Yang said calmly: "It doesn't count."
"Is it convenient for Mr. Luo to talk now?"
"I'm driving alone, you say."
So that's how it is. It seems that Shen Jinglan is also a person who knows the rules and knows to use the excuse of discussing business when talking to him on the phone.
"I prepared a table of food in Songjiang. Would it be convenient for me to treat you to dinner?"
"Well, send me the location."
Since there was nothing else to do, Luo Yang agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, he turned on the turn signal and parked the car on the side of the road.
Less than half a minute later, the phone vibrated and a text message came in.
He opened it and took a look before driving back on the road.
It took Luo Yang more than fifty minutes to drive to the address sent by Shen Jinglan.
This is already the suburbs of Songjiang, which is located below Sheshan Mountain. If you keep driving forward, you will reach Qingpu.
"Farmhouse?"
With the help of the light in the yard, Luo Yang got out of the car and looked around, and found that it was not the case.
The main thing is that he is the only car in the yard, plus an electric car.
“This is my hometown in the countryside!”
Shen Jinglan explained with a smile: "My family moved to Tianma Town after I started junior high school. We originally wanted to sell the old house, but then we heard from the village that it would be demolished, so we were not in a hurry to sell it. The whole family occasionally came to stay for a few days, and the land in front of the door was not left idle."
Even in the Magic City, there is a shortage of land.
With the development of the economy, large tracts of rural areas in surrounding areas such as Songjiang, Qingpu, Jinshan, and Nanhui were demolished and land was expropriated for use as industrial parks, so the news received by Shen Jinglan's family was not groundless.
But the dinner is held in the countryside.
"Do you cook for yourself?"
"Why, you find it incredible?"
Shen Jinglan smiled and said, "I learned cooking skills from my father since I was a child. You will know after you try it later."
"Really!"
Luo Yang didn't care whether we ate in a restaurant or a club: "Okay, I'll taste your cooking later."
Shen Jinglan's family does not eat in the main hall. There is a bungalow on the east side of the two-story main building, which is a separate kitchen room with both a modern gas stove and an old-fashioned wood-burning stove.
After entering, Luo Yang saw a small square table against the wall with six dishes already placed on it.
Pan-fried Zhoushan hairtail, braised pork with small abalone, braised eggplant, steamed sea bass, green vegetables, plus a can of old hen soup.
Full color and flavor.
"I'm not going to drink anymore. I still have to drive back home tonight."
Luo Yang waved his hand and refused Shen Jinglan's offer of wine: "I'll have some coconut juice too."
"Don't drink and drive. Mr. Luo, you are very self-disciplined."
Shen Jinglan praised it subtly, and then said with a smile: "How does it taste?"
I started with a piece of pan-fried Zhoushan hairtail fish, and I have to say it tasted really good, one of the better home-cooked dishes.
"With your cooking skills, you can open a private restaurant."
"It's okay to stir the spoon with bare hands occasionally, but if I really have to be a cook, I'll get bored."
While teasing herself, Shen Jinglan helped Luo Yang serve half a bowl of chicken soup with a big chicken drumstick.
If you don't drink alcohol while eating, you will eat quickly and will be 70% to 80% full in about half an hour.
"Mr. Luo!"
"Ok?"
Since he couldn’t eat too much at night, Luo Yang simply put down his chopsticks and looked at Shen Jinglan quietly.
Seeing this, Shen Jinglan took the initiative to move forward, but was stopped by Luo Yang with one hand.
"Let's talk first!"
"Nayuki's milk tea shop is doing so well in the university town. When do you plan to open franchise stores?"
She saw how good Jiang Wen's store was doing. According to her estimate, the monthly profit would not be less than 15.
This is still around the school, and there are time constraints. After all, students have to attend classes during the day and have winter and summer holidays.
If we can open one in the bustling commercial street of Songjiang city.
Shen Jinglan estimated that she could earn more than 150 million a year conservatively.
How could she not be moved?
"Feel sorry."
She had been promised that if franchise stores were opened, she would be on the first list.
Unfortunately, plans don't change as fast as they should.
After talking with Liu Haishan and others today, we have already turned it into a direct sales model.
"what?"
Shen Jinglan was a little panicked: "Do you want to wait a little longer? I can wait."
“It’s not a matter of waiting.”
After all, this woman had opened a loophole by himself, so Luo Yang did not lie to her and told her the truth: "I talked with a few investors this morning and decided that everyone should pool 5000 million to develop the Naixue brand through a direct sales model!"
"Direct sales model?" Shen Jinglan was stunned for a moment.
I had originally planned a good way to get rich, and I had been dreaming about it in my dormitory for several nights in a row.
When Luo Yang told the truth, it was shattered.
The light in his eyes suddenly went out.
Seeing Shen Jinglan's dazed look, Luo Yang felt a little embarrassed.
He touched his nose and said, "Maybe there are some other ways."
Just like a lamp suddenly lit in the dark night, after hearing Luo Yang's words, Shen Jinglan's eyes became more lively.
She grabbed Luo Yang's arm with both hands: "Mr. Luo, go ahead."
“Franchise.”
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to open a store in the most prosperous commercial center in Songjiang. This is a Class B store. At most, it can be located between Songjiang and Minhang. For example, at the Chedun Film and Television Base, I will authorize you to open a Class C store."
Even if it is a franchise, we still need to say hello to Liu Haishan and others.
After all, this is no longer within the scope of business management. It is an act of opening a backdoor and directly harms the interests of the other three shareholders. It is not acceptable to do so without prior notice.
After Shen Jinglan came to her senses, she keenly sensed Luo Yang's dilemma.
"Boss Luo, is it because of other shareholders?"
"You just understand."
"Then, please help me, Mr. Luo!"
Since it was troublesome, Shen Jinglan couldn't bring herself to say it.
Because even if you open a store in the Chedun Film and Television Base, you can still earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year.
"Well, we'll sign the contract after the holiday. I'll think of a solution then."
In fact, this is not a big deal. As long as Luo Yang says hello, Liu Haishan and the others will definitely not make things difficult for him.
At most I'd just laugh at him.
Shen Jinglan didn't know this. She just heard that this was a project with an investment of 5000 million yuan, so she naturally felt that it would be difficult.
"Mr. Luo, thank you!"
It has come to this, how can I give up?
Shen Jinglan bit her lower lip and was about to kneel on the ground.
Now, this is all she has left.
"This is your home!"
Luo Yang stopped her and said, "Your parents..."
“They went on a trip to Zhejiang Province.”
"That's not OK!"
Luo Yang glared at her and said, "If you do this again, I won't help you with this."
This threat stopped her.
Shen Jinglan blushed slightly, sat back in her chair, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Things like this, done at certain special times and in certain special places, are called interest."
Luo Yang sighed: "But like today, that's called humiliating you!"
After saying that, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
"I'll wait for you in the car, and after we clean up the kitchen, we'll go back to the university town together!"
"Ok!"
After Luo Yang finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the bungalow.
I walked to the car and stood still, starting to think.
In the early years, when Starbucks first entered China, drinking a cup of this brand of coffee was once regarded by white-collar workers in big cities, especially female white-collar workers, as a symbol of petty-bourgeois life.
The same is true for Heytea. In the first few years after the brand was hyped, it drove many young women crazy. Some were even willing to drive to the next city and queue for hours just to drink a cup of this brand of milk tea.
However, in the later period, both Starbucks and Heytea lost their halo.
Because more and more branches have been opened, people have become accustomed to it, and also because consumption has upgraded. Anyway, due to the combination of various factors, people are no longer so popular.
Luo Yang believes that if development goes smoothly, Naixue will also inevitably go through such a process.
Therefore, it is not a big problem to make a few small openings for several shareholders.
Who doesn’t have a few people to take care of?
Who doesn’t have a few relatives who want to help?
The ancients believed that if one person achieved enlightenment, all the people around him would benefit greatly. Are modern people worse than the ancients?
In fact, this custom becomes stronger the further south you go in Zhejiang Province, towards the borders of Fujian Province and Guangdong Province, and the tradition of clans sticking together and caring for neighbors becomes stronger.
After the National Day, Luo Yang brought up this idea so that everyone could share the benefits.
Not difficult at all.
Of course, we must avoid the time period when the first 50 stores are opened, and we must control the number of stores to C-level stores and below C-level scale.
After all, it is a period of brand building and it needs to be surrounded by a halo.
At times like this, we must be more careful to maintain the brand image, and both services and products must be of the highest quality.
When the second batch of stores are allowed to expand, it will be time to reap the market.
Thinking about things, I finished a cigarette quickly.
Luo Yang opened the car door and got in.
In less than ten minutes, the lights in the bungalow went out, and Shen Jinglan walked over with the help of the headlights of Luo Yang's car.
I never paid much attention to it before.
Now sitting in the driver's seat, I realized that Shen Jinglan was wearing a swan blue cheongsam today, with a slit all the way to the thigh.
Especially on the right thigh, if I am not mistaken, there should be a circle of prohibited belts.
"Mr. Luo."
"Should we move the battery car into the trunk?"
"I'll push it into the house."
"Ah."
Not long after, Shen Jinglan returned, opened the passenger door and got in.
"Go to Pegasus?"
"Go back to the university town!"
Shen Jinglan bit her lower lip and said, "It's only half past seven now. Jiang Wen will be busy until at least nine o'clock."
Luo Yang: “.”
It’s the end of the month now, I guess I’ve taken all your monthly tickets, right?
Hahahaha
It's hard for me to be neither up nor down.
