In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
Of course, this is beyond Lin Yifeng's control.
Now all he needs to do is wait patiently for Yan Bingshan and his team to give them a result.
Unfortunately, such a big matter cannot be resolved in a day or two. During this time, Lin Yifeng decided to first arrange the matters at hand and, after ensuring everything was in order, prepare to raise money.
Fifty million is no small sum. Lin Yifeng can only come up with twenty-five million at most, and that's assuming he doesn't borrow any money.
If he were to borrow money from a bank and provide collateral, given the strength of the banks in Muye City, they could only raise an additional ten million for Lin Yifeng at most.
Although this investment is not something that can be made all at once, no one can say for sure how much money this project will burn. At least Lin Yifeng should prepare 30 million before the project starts.
Lin Yifeng estimated that he would need to raise another 20 million within three months, not to mention other issues.
Therefore, Lin Yifeng plans to start by targeting Pang Donglai, Wallace, and Mixue Ice Cream to raise some money from them.
That evening, Lin Yifeng, along with Xu Qingyi and Guo Fengsheng, appeared in Donglai's office.
Inside the office, the three sat around a table.
"I don't have enough money on hand right now."
"I'm planning to launch a membership card program."
"Please take a look at this and see if there are any problems."
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at each other curiously, not quite understanding what Lin Yifeng was planning to do.
"Membership card?"
"Doesn't Wallace have membership cards?"
Guo Fengsheng frowned and asked Lin Yifeng in a low voice.
Xu Qingyi also showed a puzzled expression.
In his understanding, Wallace's membership card was normal; many people had registered as members, and it had become a membership system, which seemed very strange to him.
Donglai was completely bewildered. He had no idea how to get a membership card for Fat Donglai or how to do it.
Seeing the three people's curious expressions, Lin Yifeng patiently explained.
"Here's the thing, I'm planning to launch a recharge event for Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream."
"Spend 50 and get 10 free, which is equivalent to getting a set meal for free."
"The same goes for Mixue Ice Cream."
"As for Pang Donglai, our profit margin is already relatively low. I plan to spend 30 yuan to activate the membership card program and enjoy a 95% discount for a year."
Upon hearing this, all three of them gasped.
This amount of money given away was extremely rare in 1993. Ten dollars was definitely enough for a week's food expenses for an average family, and it would save a lot of money on vegetables and meat.
As for Pang Donglai, the 5% discount doesn't seem like much. In an era where most other markets offer 20% or 10% discounts, Pang Donglai's low price suggests that their efforts aren't very substantial.
But you can't resist the honest and affordable prices of Pang Donglai's products. If you spend ten yuan, you can save fifty cents, which is enough to buy half a pack of steamed buns.
Don't underestimate the small amount of 50 cents; most people who come to Pang Donglai Supermarket are there because the items are cheap.
This discount makes things cheaper, which will definitely attract a group of consumers.
Not to mention that Pang Donglai membership cards can be directly topped up with money, so Lin Yifeng is probably trying to squeeze some money out of local officials and people who want to give gifts.
During holidays and festivals, giving money directly is definitely not appropriate; gift cards are the most useful option.
Lin Yifeng saw this as an opportunity and planned to use it to make a fortune.
After finalizing the specific plan for the activity, Lin Yifeng decisively assigned the three of them to make the arrangements.
Guo Fengsheng was in charge of Mixue Ice Cream, Xu Qingyi was in charge of Wallace, Donglai was in charge of the supermarket, and Lin Yifeng was in charge of supervising the sale of gift cards.
The busy day finally began.
Lin Yifeng was overseeing the employees entering card numbers at Pang Donglai's finance department. Basically, each card number had a deposit of 1,000 yuan. If more was needed, employees could contact Pang Donglai to deposit more money.
Although this is considered a gray industry chain, essentially Lin Yifeng helping some people start bribing, it's quite normal in this era, and the authorities have tacitly approved of this behavior.
After all, Lam Yat-fung's Pang Tung Lai only provides cards; how much money to deposit depends entirely on the customer's preference.
On the third day of the planned move, the preparations were basically completed, the production and data entry of the cards were completed, and the event notices were posted.
At the entrance of Pang Donglai, passersby look at the posters plastered on both walls.
A group of middle-aged women carried cloth shopping bags, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Recharge event?"
"A 5% discount on thirty yuan?"
"Is this all the discount you're getting?"
The people around looked at each other, completely bewildered.
One of the older women muttered to herself.
"Anyone who participates in this activity is out of their mind."
"Ten dollars is five cents cheaper."
Do we really care about this little bit of money?
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Aunt Liu, aren't you going to get this membership?"
"I see you often come to Pang Donglai to buy things."
The elderly woman shook her head.
"The discount is too small, who cares about such a small amount of money?"
"I'll spend thirty yuan on a card. When will I ever be able to save up the money I spent on the card?"
Seeing that what the aunt said made some sense, the group of people gave up the idea of getting a membership card.
However, once inside the supermarket, the roadside on the first floor was already packed with people. Although the event had not officially started yet, many people had already begun to gather there to apply for shopping cards.
