Chapter 168: High-end business war is simple and unpretentious

The chat time passed quickly.

If the shop landlords come later, they may even be able to come up with a complete plan on how to quickly implement this plan.

Details are not important. They are what the subordinates need to consider and improve. Once the general direction is determined and the top management makes the final decision, there will usually be no problems.

The landlord's surname is Feng, and he is in his fifties. When he saw two bodyguards in black at the stairs, he knew what was going on.

When I came up and saw all these big guys, although I didn’t know them, their aura alone was incomparable to ordinary people, which made me even happier.

He briefly introduced his situation. For example, in terms of price, he had already given a fixed price and there was not much room for negotiation.

This requirement would be a bit difficult to impose in other cities.

But this is Shanghai, where there are countless rich people and a general lack of reliable investment channels.

Although the current environment is not good, shops in core areas are still in short supply.

Thanks to the employees of Chimome Fengniao, who run around the market every day and have recently implemented a restaurant chain plan, they are looking for a suitable location to rent and open a store.

This shop had not yet been put up for sale when they found out about it and reported it along the way. Li Zehua arranged for someone to contact them and came here today after finding out the details.

Wait until you finish listening to the landlord's own story.

Li Zehua was very curious, "Congratulations to Mr. Feng for going to Australia to reunite with his wife and children.

But I would like to ask you one more question. You can move there and leave the shop here, and ask your relatives to help rent it out. Wouldn't it be good to have a stable income every year?"

Mr. Feng smiled bitterly and said, "My wife went there two years in advance to help take care of the grandson, leaving me alone in the country. It would be better for me to go there earlier to reunite with him.

As for stable income, I also want it, but look at the recent economic situation. The shop rents in Shanghai, which have been rising for ten consecutive years, have begun to fall. What future is there?

Plus, my son started a business there, set up a transportation company, and bought a large truck that cost millions. He needs money for many things, so we old couple should support him as much as we can.”

Pity the parents of the world.

Only for the future of their children can this generation choose to give up their comfortable life, leave their hometown and go to a strange place to struggle.

It also illustrates the sadness of ordinary people.

The landlord, Mr. Feng, had not originally planned to sell his house, but there were always people around him who kept telling him that house prices were going to fall.

What he said made sense. In addition, the price of shops in Shanghai did drop for the first time in 09. He was going abroad again, and whether he would come back in the future was another matter.

Just converting this loan into US dollars is a headache. What if the market crashes in the future as people around me say?
Rather than borrowing 60% to 70% of the shop's capital to sell it abroad, leaving behind a lot of trouble and waiting for it to be taken away by the bank in the future, it is safer to simply sell it.

But in fact, if he does not settle abroad, and owns a shop, a house and a pension in the core area of ​​Shanghai, he can fully guarantee that the next generation will have no worries about food and clothing.

It's not good or bad, it's your choice.

"As for the shop, I have already asked someone to investigate it. There is no major problem and no debt dispute. It's just the payment method. Since it is a company activity, a loan is needed. What do you think?"

As the boss of the parent company of Chichime and Qingyun Real Estate, Li Zehua also refers to the advice of professional teams for his business investments.

Because loan interest can be counted as operating cost and can be fully reflected in tax deductions, it is more advantageous than personal purchases.

Mr. Feng shook his head when he heard this, "That won't work. I asked for more than 80,000 yuan per square meter, which is already very low. The surrounding areas in the same area are all priced at 100,000 yuan.

Moreover, this is a shop on the corner of the street, with a very good location. The public area is less than 20%, the property certificate is 160 square meters, and the usable area is 132 square meters. The price is 1100 million, which is really not a penny more expensive.

If you want a loan and it takes another month to process, I might as well sell it to my friend at a lower price. At least he will pay me in cash.”

The landlord was not lying. The friend who advised him to sell the house actually contacted the buyer and paid a flat price of 1050 million in cash.

He wanted to get more, but couldn't help but analyze and explain for Li Zehua, "Although the rent of shops has dropped a bit this year.

But the rent of my shop is more than 5 yuan a month, which is more than 60 yuan a year. You have a 7% return rate every year since you bought it. "

I also heard about this data analysis from my friends.

Li Zehua smiled and did the math for him, "Mr. Feng, if you calculate it this way, your store should be able to sell for more than 20 million.

Without considering the normal cost of capital loans, just the property, depreciation, and various taxes and expenses, it would be questionable whether you can get 50 yuan every year.

Add to that the vacancy rate, renovation period, and 4% annual return, and the overall environment is good. Otherwise, why would you sell it?"

He is not stupid. Perhaps seven or eight years later, the same location can be sold for 2009 or million without any problem, but now is .

The landlord did not quite agree with this algorithm, but Li Zehua did not intend to continue arguing with him.

He said, "Well, you are planning to take money abroad, and it's very troublesome to transfer it out, whether it's from a bank or privately.

If you are willing, based on today's exchange rate of 6.83, I will give you 150 million US dollars in one lump sum, which is about 1024 million. Taxes and fees will be borne by each of you. "

“Can you give me US dollars?”

The landlord's eyes lit up, he took out his cell phone and called another friend to inquire about the handling fee for private currency exchange, and he was very satisfied.

Then he asked anxiously, "How do I pay for this?"

Someone immediately stepped forward and handed over a business card. "I am the director of the key account department of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank. If you agree, we can arrange for the signing of the contract and transfer of ownership immediately."

Naturally, there was no need for Li Zehua to personally step in for such a small matter.

In fact, if this wasn't his first time buying a house, he wouldn't even bother to come.

Now that I am here, I can witness the dilemma of ordinary people in the information cocoon.

Without enough sources of information, and selling the residential and commercial properties on the eve of a skyrocketing housing price, he didn't know whether his son would regret it in the future.

The little money earned from starting a business in the real economy cannot even keep up with the increase in housing prices...

"Congratulations to Mr. Li for acquiring his first commercial shop. A commercial shop is also a house. You should treat us."

"Yes, yes, yes. We must have a feast today. We didn't drink enough last night."

Lin Wenhui even came out to reveal shocking news, "You may not know yet, but Yahoo's US stock price plummeted last night, with an intraday drop of up to 7%.

The profit from this alone is enough for Mr. Li to buy three such shops!"

For a moment, the voices of congratulations became louder, "Then you have to treat us."

"Okay, okay, let's make arrangements for tonight."

Li Zehua responded with a smile, and thanked Zhang Baige repeatedly, "Boss Zhang, I'll ask the company to make a plan later. Please take care of Pufa for the funds."

"Okay, let's talk about it over dinner tonight. I'll call the people from Pufa."

Zhang Baige accompanied the boss on the inspection for a whole morning and roughly understood the business operation model of Qingyun. However, due to the delay, the company had to leave first due to some matters.

Lin Wenhui and Zhang Lei also had a lot of things to deal with. Although Shanghai was responsible for most of the preparations for the signing ceremony, they were also busy.

They made an appointment to have dinner in the evening and then went their separate ways.

I was thinking quietly for a while in the coffee shop when the local stationmaster Zhou Fuan happened to rush back from outside and came upstairs, panting, to say hello.

"sit."

I casually asked some questions about market development in the commercial area, and the other party was very serious and had a correct attitude.

It is obvious that the habits formed in the team before cannot be changed in a short time.

Li Zehua didn't take it seriously, and changed the subject to remind him, "Pay attention recently.

Especially the brothers who came over from Ye Zi's food delivery, let them inquire more and see if there are any abnormal reactions. "

Zhou Fuan was very excited when he reported to him alone for the first time. "Yes! Chairman, please rest assured that I will complete the task."

"Don't be like this, relax."

After sitting down, Zhou Fuan seemed to remember something and said uncertainly, "I seem to have heard someone say that today, I saw the boss of Ye Zi's delivery near the station, and he was followed by a lot of people."

Li Zehua was just opening his computer, preparing to explain the matter of Qingyun Real Estate to Gu Shijie. When he heard this, he casually asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'll make a phone call to confirm."

Zhou Fuan took out his phone and called, but no one answered for a long time, so he called again.

This time someone answered the phone, but his voice was very low and it seemed like he was riding a bike, so I could barely hear the general idea.

Just this part made Zhou Fuan stunned, "What did you say, you are still following me?
Are you sure? Okay, the boss is right next to me, you report to him in person. "

Li Zehua took the phone and listened for a while, wondering, "You said their boss Chen Yelin personally led people around our various stations?"

The delivery guy on the other end of the phone said loudly while riding his bike, "Yes, it's the boss of YeZi Delivery. He's currently roaming around our Zhongshan Road station."

"Run so far?" Li Zehua was stunned. The Zhongshan Road station was several kilometers away from here. Was Ye Zi's food delivery boss planning to visit all the stations?
I felt more and more that something was wrong. I couldn't sit still any longer and stood up and said, "I'm coming over now. Keep an eye on me and keep in touch."

As he said that, he called Zhou Fuan to go downstairs quickly, took out a stack of bills and put them on the cash register, "Refund the excess and pay the shortfall, and give him the rest next time."

Zhang Tao appeared out of nowhere and asked, "Chairman, where are we going now?"

"Go to Zhongshan Road Station."

After getting in the car, he called Zhou Fuan again, "Is the person you just contacted reliable?"

The latter was sitting in the passenger seat, looking back stiffly and saying, "He's absolutely reliable. He came here from YeZi's delivery shop, but he didn't get his salary. It was us brothers who ran over and made a fuss before we got it back."

"That is to say, he has at least seen Chen Yelin before and won't make a mistake."

Li Zehua thought for a moment but couldn't figure it out. The main reason was that Ahri had to choose one of two options recently, so he couldn't help but be sensitive.

What if the other party is going for the takeaway or express delivery?

From yesterday afternoon till now, Ali's reaction has been very subtle. He just perfunctorily arranged for the secretary of the board to issue a statement to explain that there are no problems with the company's recent operations.

Then they allowed the share price of Ali International to continue falling. They knew they could not stop it, so they simply arranged funds in a few key positions to guard against it.

It’s not that no one has suggested a counterattack, but last night, Yahoo’s U.S. stock price plummeted 7%, and that clean and sharp drop scared many people.

There were a lot of rumors in the market in the early hours of the morning, but there was no news related to Yahoo and Ali. Everyone was speculating whether there was a collective negative policy for Internet technology stocks.

Panic selling also occurred in several other companies, but no one shorted them, and the stocks soon rose again, leaving people speechless with confusion.

In fact, the news about the equity transfer of the payment system has been almost out of control. For such a big thing, it is already a great honor to be able to suppress it for one day.

When the Hong Kong stock market opened during the day, rumors had already begun to emerge in the financial circle, and everyone was carefully verifying each other's information. After all, the entire market had only seen a sharp drop in Yahoo and Ali.

In the domestic market, Yahoo is the parent company of Ali International and a major shareholder of Alibaba. At the same time, the plummeting stock price means that there are major problems in the cooperation between the two companies.
Some smart people have already started to short the market. As more and more people react, more inside information is uncovered.

For example, securities companies such as HSBC have already borrowed most of the Ali shares they hold.

No need to ask, these are the stocks that were dumped yesterday afternoon and this morning.

Li Zehua couldn't guess what Ali was thinking, but that didn't mean he couldn't verify it.

Make a phone call back to the company to make some preparations.

When we arrived near Zhongshan Road station, we were successfully connected with the person.

This guy is smart and knows to take off his work clothes. Fortunately, he brought his electric bike with him and it hasn't been painted yet.

Otherwise, if I had followed him all the way, I would have been discovered long ago.

"That's the boss of YeZi's Meal Delivery. Look, he's a tall, thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses and a little bald."

The young man had an unpleasant argument over the salary settlement and was very angry, so he spoke some hurtful words.

Li Zehua recognized the man and arranged for him to deliver the food first. He then said to Zhou Fuan, "We will arrange a bonus package for him later. It will be a reward for completing the basic delivery task."

The young man was very happy to be praised, and even happier to hear that there was a reward. He politely declined, "Boss, these are what I should do, no need to give me an extra reward, hehe."

"You're doing great. Keep it up. Go deliver the food first."

Li Zehua patted his shoulder, turned to Zhang Tao and said, "It's up to you. Find a way to follow them. It would be best if you can find out the identities of these people."

YeZi Food Delivery has been hit hard recently, and the focus is on whether the pre-prepared meals in commercial areas are eaten.

You have two dishes in one box of lunch, and I have one box of lunch with four meat and vegetable combinations.

You sell for 15 and I sell for 12.

In addition, as surrounding restaurants have successively reached cooperation with Chimei, office workers have more options to choose from, further squeezing the survival space of YeZi Food Delivery.

If there is no major change, YeZi Food Delivery will completely decline and even exit the stage of history, which will happen in the last few months.

But it is obvious that Chen Yelin will not be willing to give in.

Look, a group of people came from nowhere and were wandering around the Chimo commercial district station. No one knew what they were looking for.

After Zhang Tao touched her, Li Zehua called Zhou Fuan, who had taken off his work clothes, to come up.

"You said they're going to go into restaurants everywhere. Are they planning to give up pre-made meals and switch to store delivery?"

Basically, everyone at the commercial district station knows something about YeZi Food Delivery. After all, many of his subordinates have defected from other places, and Zhou Fuan is no exception.

But Li Zehua obviously overestimated his business level. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't explain it. He could only laugh and said, "Boss, what do you mean? I don't understand this either."

"If you don't understand, you have to learn. As a webmaster, you can't just learn how to negotiate single customers. For such business common sense issues, you have to read more, think more, and think more. Otherwise, how can you make progress?"

Li Zehua was disappointed with him, but when he saw that he was deep in thought, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Go back and read more books. If you encounter any problems, consult the training teachers.

I spent so much money to invite him back, but you don’t learn from him, isn’t that a waste…”

As we were talking, someone from the company arrived and came up to us. "Chairman, the things you want are all in the car. Do you want us to arrange them now?"

"That one, see it?"

Li Zehua pointed with his finger and said, "What a class, how can you be qualified to ride in a Mercedes-Benz like me?

Install it first, then find a place to hide, and follow it when it moves, understand?"

Nodded, got in the car, picked up the things and went up, all in one go.

Obviously a veteran.

Zhou Fuan stared blankly, "Chairman, what are they doing..."

He recognized the thing, and the method used really opened his eyes. Can it be played like this?

Li Zehua looked innocent, "What? Aren't we just passing by and chatting here?"

After saying this, she lowered her head to look at the text message, then asked him to get in the car and drove away...

"No way, you're just going to invite us to have dinner in the hotel room?

Or a standard room with a box lunch?"

It was really difficult to invite Li Zehua to dinner. It was arranged as planned, but we ended up having to make do in a standard room in a business hotel.

When Zhang Lei received the address, he thought he had read it wrong. When he arrived at the place, he found that it was indeed a business hotel.

"Hush, I'll treat you to a good show later."

Li Zehua spread out the lunch boxes and said, "I know you two haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and eat. I have something important to ask you later."

I greeted Zhang Baige in advance and decided to have dinner another day. After all, this occasion was not suitable for him.

Lin Wenhui and Zhang Lei did not have such concerns, so they deliberately asked only the two of them to come alone.

Three grown men, either presidents or directors, were cheated by the most ignorant chairman. They had no idea what he was up to and could only make do with him.

Zhang Lei kept looking at him while eating. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Zehua's phone ringing.

The latter had a mysterious look on his face, made a hushing gesture, answered the call and turned on the speakerphone, but no one spoke.

Only the sound of electricity was heard, followed by a steady voice, "Chairman, everything has been arranged. I will send the recording over now."

"it is good."

Li Zehua ate rice while placing his cell phone between the three of them.

After a while, I heard a chat coming from the phone.

At first, the two didn't take it seriously, but the more they listened, the more excited they became.

Lin Wenhui didn't say anything. He used his mobile phone to edit the text and showed it to Li Zehua.

"Ahri's people are contacting competitors?"

Li Zehua nodded and replied with a text message, "Keep listening and see what they say."

This journey was not in vain.

As for the recording equipment, I brought back a lot of it when I was dealing with the emergency food delivery, and it just came in handy.

As for the tracking equipment, it was purely accidental and was mainly prepared for eastern Guangdong.

As we all know, there are all kinds of people in eastern Guangdong, especially the disappearance of electric bicycles, which is hard to guard against.

As a company with a large number of electric bikes, it makes sense for us to purchase a batch of tracking and recording equipment to prevent the electric bikes from being lost, right?
