The train has been rented, and the passengers on board are all extras. The vast majority of the film "No Thieves on the Train" was shot on the train, and it was all real filming.
"President Chen, what brings you here from so far away? And why did you ask us to bring the design team? Let me introduce you. This is Lin Feng, the chief designer of Dingfeng Design. He is a disciple of Master Huang and is one of the top experts in China. Master Huang is also the chief expert in charge of our Tomson Riviera project this time."
Shen Fang smiled and nodded: "Hello, Designer Lin."
Lin Feng quickly extended his hand respectfully and said, "Hello, President Shen."
Shen Fang poured tea for the three of them.
"I must have called you here for a reason, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to come. I've recently set my sights on two new industries and was thinking of bringing you along."
Huang Fulai was taken aback upon hearing this, but then looked at Shen Fang with great delight. Based on the two collaborations with Shen Fang so far, he was certain that he could amass a large fortune, especially the Binjiang Road, which was practically a gold mine: "Two industries? What about the future? Mr. Shen, please tell me directly, don't keep me in suspense."
Shen Fang smiled slightly: "Old Huang, weren't you complaining about being poor not long ago?"
Huang Fulai chuckled: "If you really offer me a good business opportunity, I'll definitely sell everything I own to invest. Even if I don't have one, I can borrow it. Mr. Shen, please tell me, what project is it?"
Shen Fang lit a cigarette and told the three of them about his plans to enter the tourism and hotel industry.
Chen Jinfei's eyes lit up as he stroked his chin: "I've actually been paying attention to Jinjiang Inn for a long time. Their profit margin is indeed very high, and they've expanded very rapidly in the last two years."
After thinking about it for a while, Huang Fulai also felt that this business might be worth a try.
"Chain brand hotels are actually the future trend. The current hotel industry is very uneven. The majority of hotel guests are business travelers who are not allowed to reimburse their accommodation expenses for star-rated hotels. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise, a government agency, or a private company, they will not choose hotels that are too expensive, nor will they choose hotels that are too cheap and have poor environments. These are the main groups of hotel guests. The rest are young people, who naturally pursue a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment, good service, and good value for money."
"We don't operate high-end hotels, only mid-to-low-end chain hotels, priced between 100 and 200 yuan. We focus on staff training, selecting good locations, and ensuring excellent service, linens, and ambiance. We aim to quickly build a reputation, conquer second-, third-, fourth-, and fifth-tier cities, using a strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside to rapidly expand. Then, we sell the brand and collect franchise fees. We quickly disrupt the market, crushing other competitors, rapidly seizing territory, striving to achieve success within three years, and then go public to raise funds."
"As long as we do a good job at the source, we can establish cooperative relationships with various companies and have their staff choose our branded hotels when they travel for business. Business will be booming. We'll start with bulk customers, then move on to individual customers, and finally take on walk-in customers. We'll give hotel sales staff a lot of rebates so they can actively attract customers."
"With a stable customer base, money will flow in continuously. As long as you do a good job of room inspection, service inspection, and build a reputation, you will naturally make a lot of money. The most important thing is that this business does not require much investment. As long as you have a good reputation, good data, and my huge publicity network, you can attract investment everywhere and make money quickly. It is a money printing machine."
Chen Jinfei and Huang Fulai exchanged a glance.
"Mr. Shen, now that you mention it, making money seems incredibly easy. And your analysis is absolutely correct."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "Making money is not that difficult. In the millennium, there were opportunities everywhere. As long as you use your brain, even a pig can fly."
Chen Jinfei and Huang Fulai were speechless: "President Shen, not everyone has your kind of wisdom."
Shen Fang waved his hand: "Don't flatter me. Let's name this hotel. I think City Convenience is pretty good. What do you guys think?"
Huang Fulai smiled and said, "If President Shen thinks it's good, then we naturally think it's good too."
"Let's have designer Lin Feng design one for us. I have a few requirements: clean, tidy, spacious, high-end, and it should give people a pleasant feeling. Use bright colors and make it easy to decorate. We'll have king-size beds, twin beds, standard rooms, computer rooms, movie rooms, and couples' rooms. You can handle all of these, designer Lin, is that alright?"
Lin Feng smiled: "No problem, President Shen."
Shen Fang nodded: "For a top designer like you, this might be a bit of an overkill, but you must put your heart into it. A flat rate of 1 million. If you deliver a design that satisfies me, the 1 million design fee is yours."
Lin Feng was overjoyed; he had met a tycoon, and he patted his chest excitedly.
"President Shen, rest assured, I will deliver the most reasonable design sketch in the shortest possible time."
"The second industry is tourism. Did you know that the current turnover of tourism in mainland China exceeds 230 billion yuan, and 90% of that comes from individual tourists? Travel agencies' turnover is close to 30 billion yuan. At present, there is no particularly formal platform in the domestic tourism industry. Private travel agencies vary in quality and have cheated many people in order to make money. However, this industry is currently in a vacuum period. We can enter it and combine it with the Internet. By promoting online and offline together, we can create a perfect travel industry chain in a short period of time."
Huang Fulai stroked his chin: "This thing is a good business, but it's hard to manage. After all, at this stage, those successful travel agency salespeople, as long as they have some tricks up their sleeves, can make a lot of money in a year. If we want to standardize it, we'll cut off a lot of people's money-making opportunities. There will probably be a lot of people trying to trip us up."
"But if we really manage to get it done, the profits for that year will be incredible. If things go well, it'll be a golden cash cow, generating a continuous stream of income."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of them playing dirty tricks. Don't forget, I have the largest portal network platform under my control. I'm a big shot in the media industry. If they dare to go against me, I'll show them why flowers are so red."
"They can't afford to be offended by the media and reporters' continuous exposure."
Chen Jinfei gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Fang, now I finally understand why you left finance to go into the media industry. It turns out you wanted to control the throat and influence the entire industry chain. Impressive, impressive."
Shen Fang flashed his bright white teeth: "It's a piece of cake. With the media industry and new media on the internet as a foundation, I can easily do whatever industry I want. What do you think, Lao Huang, Uncle Chen, these two projects are pretty good, right?"
The two nodded.
Ultimately, the three jointly invested, with Shen Fang contributing 500 million yuan and Chen Jinfei and Huang Fulai each contributing 250 million yuan to jointly establish City Convenience and Tianxia Travel Company.
After finishing their business, Chen Jinfei, Huang Fulai, and Lin Feng did not stay that night. They flew to Shanghai overnight. It was the crucial time for bidding on Binjiang Road. If Shen Fang hadn't said he had something important to do, they wouldn't have come.
