"With the current funds available to Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, opening 20 more stores outside their current locations is already the limit."

At this point, Lin Yifeng paused for a moment: "I wonder if Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, who are investing in 10 stores with a planned investment of one million yuan and recruiting 50 employees, can get some preferential treatment in Yuntaishan Town?"

The number of investors jumped from 2 to 10 in an instant.

This shows Lin Yifeng's trust in the mayor of Yuntaishan Town.

Ten shops—that's no small investment. Lin Yifeng's total budget was one million, but now, for the sake of the mayor of Yuntaishan Town, he's added an extra million.

A two million investment, 20 stores!

This is already a considerable investment for Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream.

Lin Yifeng currently only has 2.6 to 2.7 million in additional liquid funds in his account.

Lin Yifeng directly used two-thirds of the working capital.

With this funding, Lin Yifeng won't have much money left. If the state-owned factory in Muye City wants to sell its factory buildings, Lin Yifeng won't have the money to acquire them.

"It's still unclear whether the state-owned enterprise factory in Makino City will be sold. If it is, I'll have to deal with the gold I've been keeping with Ye Yuqing!"

Opening 10 stores in Yuntaishan Town was a rather risky move in those days, since Wallace's set meals were not cheap, and a small town like Yuntaishan couldn't handle too many stores.

but...

It doesn't matter!

Even if he doesn't make any money, Lin Yifeng will definitely not lose money.

Yuntai Mountain is a 5A-level tourist attraction in later years. He bought 10 shops in good locations, which he can rent out in the future and make a lot of money.

Of course, he couldn't say this to the mayor of Yuntaishan Town. He still wanted to get some favorable policies from the mayor, even though his investment was only one million.

Lin Yifeng's bet was very decisive. The mayor of Yuntaishan Town tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He carefully looked at Lin Yifeng and then glanced at the newspaper on the table.

The most eye-catching headline in the newspaper was: "When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides: Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream rush to aid the Yuntaishan disaster area."

"Young comrade!"

"Trust me, and I certainly won't treat you unfairly!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best to treat you well!"

The mayor of Yuntaishan Town didn't speak loudly, but his voice was very convincing. Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble the mayor!"

"I won't bother the mayor anymore. I'll go check out the market in our town now and open the Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream stores as soon as possible!"

Lin Yifeng smiled as he left the reception room of the mayor of Yuntaishan Town. He planned to invest in 10 shops in Yuntaishan Town, so he needed to investigate the market there as soon as possible.

kindness.

It was described as an inspection.

It's basically about grabbing shops.

He wants to occupy as many shops as possible in Yuntaishan Town with high customer traffic.

What is the place with the highest visitor traffic in Yuntaishan Town?

That is naturally...

At the entrance of a 5A-level scenic area!

In 1992, the tourism industry in China was quite underdeveloped. Lin Yifeng, along with Guo Fengsheng, Xu Qingyi, and others, drove a van to the entrance of Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area and began inquiring about the prices of shops.

This was the first time any of them had visited the Yuntai Mountain Scenic Area, including Lin Yifeng, who was also visiting for the first time in his life.

Compared to later generations, the Yuntai Mountain scenic area now has very few visitors, the main gate has not been renovated, and it doesn't look very impressive.

Lin Yifeng arrived inside the scenic area and inquired with the person in charge. When he said that he had come to invest and open a shop in response to the old town mayor's reform and opening-up policy, the person in charge of the scenic area immediately became enthusiastic.

In the current environment of reform and opening up, people like Lam Yat-fung who invest money are very popular, especially in a place where there are no Hong Kong businessmen or foreign capital. He is the most popular person there.

The person in charge of the scenic area was very welcoming to Lin Yifeng. He took Lin Yifeng on a tour of Yuntai Mountain, explaining its history and beautiful scenery.

“I promised the town mayor that I would invest in 10 shops in Yuntai Mountain. Currently, I plan to invest in four shops within the Yuntai Mountain scenic area, roughly two at the entrance and two inside the scenic area.”

"Could you sell the shops in your scenic area to me?"

"I'm sorry, but you can't sell anything in the shops inside the scenic area!"

The person in charge of the scenic area shook his head.

According to national regulations, land within scenic areas cannot be sold. Lin Yifeng's relationship with the mayor of Yuntaishan Town is not yet at that level, so there is no way to get him to take the risk of selling the land within the scenic area to him.

It cannot be sold.

Then we'll have to rent it.

Fortunately, the mayor's order from Yuntaishan Town was quite effective. Lin Yifeng rented four shops within the Yuntaishan Town scenic area for twenty years, and the rent...

It's cheaper than the rent for shops outside.

This... is the preferential treatment given by the mayor of Yuntaishan Town.

Of the 10 shops Lin Yifeng invested in at Yuntai Mountain, 4 are located within the scenic area.

The other six were divided into two groups, with one group located next to the high school in Yuntaishan Town.

The high school in Yuntaishan Town is a combined junior and senior high school. The school has a large student body, and many students study here for six years.

The other two groups were placed in different locations: one outside the Yuntaishan Town National Geopark, and the other in the old town area of ​​Yuntaishan Town.

The National Geopark is a small tourist area within Yuntaishan Town. Like Jinyang Park, it currently only charges 1 yuan.
