Chapter 83: Quite Courageous
Today is October 5th, Thursday.
Two days ago, Tang Lin said he would come to Jingzhou today.
He got off the plane at two in the afternoon and we agreed to meet at four in the afternoon. The location was a five-star hotel that had just opened half a month ago.
Wen Zhile and Zhou Jihuai got off the car at the hotel entrance.
The manager caught sight of the two men and immediately stepped forward to greet them.
What a coincidence, this is an acquaintance.
Wen Zhile chatted with him for a few words while waiting for the elevator, until the elevator opened and she and Zhou Jihuai walked in.
The sightseeing elevator slowly ascends, and the figures of the pedestrians outside gradually shrink.
"Why did the manager of Wangjing Court change jobs?"
Wen Zhile chatted casually, and Zhou Jihuai looked at her with a smile: "Maybe it's because the salary here is high."
How come this little girl can chat with anyone?
It looked like he really wanted to chat and it wasn't just some small talk to kill time. His smile and tone were very soothing.
"Hey? It's better to have money. You can poach whoever you want."
"When I have money, I will invite singers from Hong Kong to sing."
Zhou Jihuai faced outside, occasionally glancing at the increasing number of tall buildings in Jingzhou City, but only for a second or two before looking back at Wen Zhile's face: "Who do you want to invite?"
Wen Zhile hesitated for a few seconds.
"Just take the singers in the hot-selling tapes recently. The hot sales of the tapes show that many people like them. If we can invite them, our disco will be famous in Jingzhou and even other cities."
"You'll have the chance to see the singers from the tapes sing in person. Young people who like them will rush to come even if it means taking a whole day on the train." She couldn't even imagine the amount of people there would be.
By then, you can make a lot of money just from the ticket money, not to mention the cost of drinks and entertainment facilities after entering the disco.
As long as the profits can cover the cost of inviting singers, it is feasible.
"We can also invite the award-winning singers from the Youth Singer TV Awards held by Jingzhou TV last year and this year to sing in the disco for a few nights."
"Brother, what do you think?"
Zhou Jihuai: “Not bad.”
Wen Zhile also thought it was good.
But professional matters should be left to professionals, and she, as an outsider, is just talking casually.
"Brother, are we meeting Tang Lin at the revolving restaurant?"
"Well, it's the place Tang Lin has chosen." Zhou Jihuai said, "Don't worry, there are not many people up there, so we can discuss things."
Wen Zhile nodded.
That's good.
The tourist elevator stopped at the top floor and the two walked out one after another.
Tang Lin stood up from his seat: "Ji Huai, Miss Wen!"
As Zhou Jihuai said, there were very few customers in the revolving restaurant.
Apart from Tang Lin, there was only a foreign couple with blond hair and blue eyes.
Like Tang Lin, they all chose seats next to the window.
The wide floor-to-ceiling windows frame the beautiful scenery of Jingzhou in a square window frame. Looking out from inside, you can see a corner of the ancient city gate in the distance.
Wen Zhile and Zhou Jihuai sat opposite Tang Lin. The waiter brought the menu. She ordered a few dishes at random, and Zhou Jihuai added some to her order.
While waiting for the food to be served, Tang Lin chatted for a while before getting down to business: "I heard from Ji Huai that Miss Wen wants to invest in my disco?"
Tang Lin had already made up his mind before coming here, so he didn't waste any words in front of them: "No problem."
Zhou Jihuai helped him establish connections with the Jingzhou business district, and this was his thank you gift.
When Wen Zhile saw his eyes sweep over Zhou Jihuai, she understood why he agreed so readily.
Tang Lin didn't expect her to come up with much money. He just wanted her to be a partner so that she could step in if Zhou Jihuai was needed in the future.
"Mr. Tang," Wen Zhile said with a light smile on his face, speaking in a leisurely tone, "How much money are you prepared to invest in opening a disco in Jingzhou? I can contribute half of it."
Tang Lin was slightly surprised, but then he became serious.
He investigated Wen Zhile. This girl's parents are university professors and have no outside jobs. None of her other relatives are businessmen, so he originally thought that she could only invest a few tens of thousands of yuan at most.
"To be honest, I opened a disco to prove to my dad that my vision was right, so I had to do it well."
"If you want to do it well, you have to spend money, and the initial investment is indispensable." Tang Lin thought for a while, "I invested 300,000 yuan in the disco in Shanghai, and I plan to use the same amount in Jingzhou."
He used his own money to open the disco, but he didn't have much money left.
But his father had already warned people in Shanghai that no one would invest in him.
Tang Lin originally wanted to come to Jingzhou to develop some connections and persuade them to buy shares.
If this girl could really come up with half of the money, it would solve his problem.
"If you are sincere in participating, you only need to pay half of the initial investment. I will take care of the disco's subsequent maintenance and employee salaries."
Wen Zhile thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.
"But I am just a figurehead and not responsible for the operation and management of the disco." She only wants to get dividends and doesn't want to find a job for herself, but it is obviously inappropriate for her to just sit back and do nothing for the same amount of money.
If a disco wants to make money, it needs to spend a lot of money and effort on site selection, post-promotion, and customer base expansion. The girl bent her lips and took the initiative to say, "I only want 30% of the dividends."
Zhou Jihuai raised his eyebrows.
Tang Lin smiled: "Miss Wen trusts me so much, I can't let you down."
The girl was quite courageous and gave up 20% of the profit at once.
"30% to 70% is too much for you. If outsiders find out, they'll scold me for deceiving the girl. Let's go with 40% to 60%."
Wen Zhile blinked, not really surprised. She had expected Tang Lin to say that. After hearing what he said, she smiled and agreed, "Then thank you, Mr. Tang, for your generous decision."
"You're welcome. We'll be partners from now on." Tang Lin waved his hand and the waiter came over with a bottle of red wine.
"After this meal, I will prepare the contract."
After three glasses of red wine were filled, Wen Zhile raised his glass with a smile and said, "I wish us a happy cooperation."
Zhou Jihuai did not intervene in their conversation, but only spoke now: "Zhizhi, drink less."
"I know."
Tang Lin became more and more curious about their relationship.
He heard from Jiang Zhao that the Zhou family and the older generation of the Wen family had a friendship, but the friendship had only become public in recent months.
Logically they had just met each other, but the way they interacted and talked seemed very familiar.
The two sons of the Zhou family, one shows his pride on his face, while the other hides his pride in his heart. Both of them are difficult to approach. What is so special about the little girl of the Wen family that she could be protected by the eldest son of the Zhou in such a short period of time?
Because she has an investment vision and courage that is different from her peers?
