Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"Wow, then Brother Chen Fang, drive faster! It would be best if you could drive all over the country, so I can eat wherever I'm filming. Hehe."
"Xiao Kun, I'm leaving this to you. Go contact Zhang Lan and ask her to cooperate with you. Then contact Sister Xin and set up a dedicated investment promotion department. The brand name will be Tianxiajian."
"Then you should go to South Korea to investigate the barbecue restaurants there, learn how the barbecue brands there operate, and conduct comprehensive research on the ingredients and flavors from Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, and other regions to find the best recipes."
"If we're talking about hot pot, we'll go to Chongqing to investigate. If we're talking about buffets, we'll specialize in seafood and Western-style buffets."
"If it's a barbecue restaurant, we'll call it Shisanzhuang; if it's a hot pot restaurant, we'll call it Juxianzhuang; and if it's a Western-style buffet, we'll call it Quanduyou."
"We need to develop a business plan, then provide unified training, unified specialization, and unified business development. We will simultaneously phase out both soft and hard advertising. I want to see directly operated stores open by the end of the year. By June next year, I want to see branches open in all first- and second-tier cities in China."
Shen Kun gave an OK sign: "Third Uncle, please take care of it. Leave it to me."
Shen Fang nodded. He knew Shen Kun's capabilities well; Shen Kun had never failed to accomplish anything. Even when they were short of money and in trouble, Shen Kun always had a solution. Now, with ample funds and an existing catering business, things could be resolved very easily.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Dahuzi, and Yu Min were all dumbfounded by Shen Fang's actions. Are all big shots this shrewd in business? They just start doing it! Not only have they chosen the names, but they've also predetermined the number of stores, the cities they'll open in, and the operational plan!
Big Boss
Xiao Ming was in awe. Such a huge deal was secured in the blink of an eye! He's a true savior!
After spending another two days with Liu Qianqian, Shen Fang transferred to Shanghai.
Inside the general manager's office of Longteng Real Estate Investment Company.
"Mr. Xu, Ms. He, Mr. Shen is really something else! I've been waiting for him for seven days already!!!" Young Master Wang looked at the two women in front of him with great displeasure.
Since his debut, Wang Ershao has never dared to disrespect him in Shanghai. This time, he wanted to invest in Longteng Real Estate, an outsider's financial scheme, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles.
Originally, he was prepared to teach this outsider a lesson. Back then, for the sake of a woman, he directly mobilized the Shanghai Armed Police to deal with Xiang Huasheng. Who dared to provoke him? Xiang Huasheng had to slink back to Hong Kong in disgrace. There was nothing the Wang family couldn't do with their influence in Shanghai.
However, before he could even make a move, he was warned by the Tang and Han families. To be honest, although Young Master Wang would take their warnings to heart, he wasn't exactly afraid. But Ye Daying's appearance made him a little hesitant. If he really wanted to do it, Ye Daying was directly in the central government. The King of Guangdong was still around, his old man at home had already stepped down, and his elder brother was at a crucial stage in his rise to power. He dared not cause any trouble.
Xu Xin smiled at Wang Ershao: "Ershao, President Shen is quite busy with work. I will arrange for you to meet him when he arrives."
"How many times have you said this? I told you to call him, did you even ask?"
Pansy Ho smoothed her hair and said, "Second Young Master, you want too much. We can't give it to you. Even if President Shen came, he wouldn't agree."
Young Master Wang's face turned cold: "Do you believe I can make it so you can't start work?"
The office door opened, and Shen Fang and Shen Kun walked in.
Xu Xin quickly stood up and introduced him to Shen Fang: "President Shen, this is Second Young Master Wang."
Shen Fang and Wang Ershao stared at each other. A minute later, Shen Fang looked at this纨绔大少 (playboy) young master, the future one of the four young masters of Beijing, Wang Yu, with a slight smile. He extended his left hand and said, "Hello, Wang Ershao."
Wang Yu glanced at Shen Fang but didn't extend her hand: "President Shen? What a grand entrance! I've been waiting for you for ages!!!"
Shen Fang smiled faintly, withdrew his hand, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it: "I can't help it, I'm quite busy with work."
"I understand your request, Second Young Master. I'm sorry, but Longteng cannot agree to your conditions."
"Mr. Shen, you'd better think this through!!! Do you believe I can make sure you can't stay in Shanghai?!"
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I am well aware of the Wang family's power. However, this place has already raised 30 billion yuan in funds. The four major banks that have conducted background checks—China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, and HSBC—have all given their full support. The power of the shareholders is not something that you, Second Young Master Wang, can easily shake."
"Furthermore, Young Master Wang, your elder brother is currently in a critical period, so I think it's best if you don't cause any trouble. There's also a saying: a local official is more useful than a distant one. I believe that the Han family is fully supporting the project, and you really have no way to kick me out of this place."
"If you'd like, we can be friends and I'll give you a piece of land to develop. But this land won't be given to you for free; I'll need your help. I'm always willing to help my friends, but I always eliminate my enemies completely."
Young Master Wang sneered: "Are you threatening me?"
Shen Fang shook his head: "I investigated you before I came. You can say that you are a man of strong emotions. Money is not that important to you. What you love most is women. Coincidentally, I am similar to you in this respect. However, it seems that you have suffered repeated setbacks in your love life."
Wang Yu is the eldest of the "Four Young Masters of Beijing," but also the most powerful. The other three aren't truly "young masters" at all; they're all just figureheads. It's Wang Yu, the "Second Young Master," who is involved in numerous industries, including the highly profitable real estate sector. In a short period, he rapidly amassed a vast fortune, becoming a veritable tycoon. In fact, while Wang Yu was rising to prominence in high-society circles, the other three members of the "Four Young Masters of Beijing" were still largely unknown.
