Because she wanted to talk to Nie Zhao alone about Nie Jiajun's situation, and since several wives were surrounding the Nie Jiayu brothers and asking them all sorts of questions, she said goodbye, got into her sports car, and left first.
She handed over the tasks to the others to Uncle Ming.
However, for the Nie Jiayu brothers, although Mei Lu was exceptionally good to them, treating them like little emperors, being both gentle and obedient, they didn't really like going home because Nie Rong often yelled at and scolded them.
When he's home, he always prefers to stay in his room and won't go out except to eat.
But even though Chen Rou is cold and fierce towards them now, she seems to have a kind of magic that makes the siblings always like to get close to her. So, when they got to the parking lot, Uncle Ming asked the children what they planned to eat for dinner. Nie Han blurted out, "It seems that Xi Niang went to see Uncle. I wonder what they will eat."
Without thinking, Nie Jiajun said, "Uncle Ming, let's go straight to the company. I want to see my uncle first. As for food, anything is fine. We can eat at the hotel if we don't want to."
Uncle Ming was just a servant; he did whatever the young master and young lady told him to do.
Upon arriving at the company's underground parking garage, they saw Chen Rou's red sports car parked in the first parking space. The siblings got out of the car and went straight upstairs to find Nie Zhao.
...
As for Chen Rou, after arriving at the company, it was still early, and Liang Lisheng stopped her to discuss the issue of expanding business in mainland China. So, instead of going to see Nie Zhao first, Chen Rou started chatting with Liang Lisheng.
After truly understanding the situation in mainland China, Liang Lisheng had to admit that his boss was brilliant.
Compared to Hong Kong, the mainland is a completely untapped commercial territory.
The real estate, shopping malls, and hotels that Nie Zhao is currently planning to enter are all based on a fully mature business model in Hong Kong; all he needs to do is copy the entire business.
Moreover, regarding acquiring land in the most developed cities in mainland China, Liang Lisheng put it rather crudely: "Third Sister, can you believe it? An acre of land in a mainland city isn't even worth as much as this one of my cigars."
Draw another circle on the map: "Incredibly, this is a city with a population of 6 million, and this area is a large residential community. More importantly, it doesn't have... a community!"
The triads were also called triad societies, like the ones led by Master Er and Master Dong.
The high prices of houses in Repulse Bay are due to several factors. Besides its beautiful location and scenery, another key factor is the strong police presence. The Special Duties Unit (SDU) is stationed nearby, deterring triads from coming.
Kowloon is also a city, but its property prices are only one-tenth of those on Hong Kong Island. Why? Because of the community organizations there.
Without gangs, there's no need to fight during demolitions. It also means that during construction, all that's needed is to maintain good relations with the government and use labor reasonably, instead of constantly haggling with gangs over labor, water, electricity, materials, and other issues, as well as competing for profits and entry fees. Furthermore, it means faster construction.
For example, if Nie Zhao hadn't gone to do the maintenance of Kai Tak Airport, and if it weren't for Master Er's leniency online because of Chen Rou, he would not only have been able to delay the project, but also extort a large sum of money from Nie's company.
However, this can be avoided when doing business in mainland China.
In addition, Liang Lisheng also had a stack of photos that Secretary An had brought back from his trip to the mainland to explore the market some time ago. He held up one of them and said with a smile, "Little An told me that this is indeed true, and that he took the photos himself, so he can guarantee their authenticity. I am skeptical for now, but I would like to go to the mainland with you, Third Madam, so that we can see for ourselves. If it is fake, then so be it. But if it is true, Third Madam, please hand over the hotel business to me. I will go to the mainland to run it. Let me put it this way, I am confident that I can run the hotel business."
It was a very simple photo. Chen Rou was very familiar with the place; it was a state-run restaurant in Shenzhen.
When she was about to join the army, the first time Yue Zhongqi found her, he took her to a state-run restaurant for a meal.
But when she saw the photo, she couldn't help but laugh.
The photo shows the food serving area of a state-run restaurant. Four pots are lined up on the stove, two vegetarian and two meat, which are the hot dishes the restaurant serves every day. Behind the fat and greasy chef, there is a sign that is particularly eye-catching: No beating or scolding customers without cause.
In fact, this slogan can remain up for many years, until the day when the state-run restaurant can no longer operate and is restructured.
Chen Rou had never experienced it herself, but she had heard from others that when going to a state-run restaurant, you should first observe the expressions of the chefs and waiters outside. If they seemed nice, then you could go; if they seemed unfriendly, then you shouldn't go, or you would definitely get a beating.
So she said, "You don't need to make a special trip to see it; I can confirm for you that it's true."
Liang Lisheng frowned: "Are you sure?"
Hotels are in the service industry, and the Nie family owns several five-star hotels, which are in the service industry.
It was managed by a dedicated female director, an old lady who had worked her way up from Han Yuzhu since she was young. Nie Rong respected her greatly, and Liang Lisheng had to speak in a low voice when he saw her.
Compared to other industries, the hotel industry, as a service industry, requires a high degree of precision and is labor-intensive.
But in mainland China, is it permissible to run a service industry as long as you don't verbally or physically abuse customers without cause?
At that moment, Liang Lisheng felt that he was capable enough.
Seeing Chen Rou nod with a wry smile, he slapped his thigh and said, "It's settled then. Leave the hotel to me, I'll take care of it."
To be honest, when Chen Rou first heard Liang Lisheng say that an acre of land was not even worth as much as a single cigar of his, she felt very sad. The economic development of the mainland was too lagging behind. Not to mention the painted pottery from eight thousand years ago, the land that our ancestors had fought for inch by inch and bullet by bullet was now being sold off cheaply for economic construction. She felt particularly bad about it, but when she looked at the photo of the state-run restaurant, she felt relieved.
