Chapter 143

Speaking of the Kowloon Aviation Industry, Lin Wei breathed out and sat on the chair: "It can only be done slowly and carefully."

Chu Aidong wanted to see if Qin Sixin could get any clues, and retail investors should take their time here. Small shareholders can only be contacted at a later stage.

As soon as she sat down, Wu Ming came over and asked her to get up: "Sit on my clothes."

Lin Wei said "ah" and said, "I thought it was a cushion."

Wu Ming picked up the clothes and said, "Gu family Here, have you figured out how to deal with it? "

If the Gu family cannot be solved, Lin Wei's repurchase cannot be announced.

Lin Wei yawned and said, "Isn't this simple? Just hold the shares on my behalf. When they realize that you are mine, they will probably accept your fate."

Wu Ming paused and looked at her come over.

Lin Wei was very sleepy and yawned again, with moisture hanging from the corners of her eyes: "What's wrong, you don't want to?"

Wu Ming looked at her for a while, with some inexplicable emotions flashing in his eyes, and he said: "Why are you so Is it easy to trust others? "

For Song Ye, it is also a very dangerous thing for him. Once betrayed, he will suffer heavy losses.

Lin Wei stopped yawning. Wu Ming was right. She did take things for granted sometimes.

People like to do things based on experience, but previous successful experiences may become the cause of failure next time.

Just because someone you trusted before doesn't mean you can trust them now.

But...

Lin Wei showed a heartless smile: "Isn't this a temporary solution? Just feel aggrieved."

In fact, it's not a big deal even if it's given to Wu Ming.

The people around her were all millionaires at worst, and Wu Ming had nothing. He came too late.

Wu Ming took a breath, closed the wardrobe, turned around and looked at Lin Wei: "Do you know the human heart..."

As a result, Lin Wei immediately yawned again and said: "No, I'm too sleepy, I want to go back Go to bed, let's talk tomorrow, have a good rest." Then she ran away.

Wu Ming really loves to preach, he is even more verbose than her, and he always gives lessons to others.

She is just a little lazy. She is already very familiar with Wu Ming and doesn't want to take her time.

...

The next day, the two went to the real estate company together.

The staffing is all employees of Haoxin Real Estate. Some of them resigned, and Lin Wei fired some of the casual workers. Now there is only a small team of 23 people left.

But what the two are talking about now is not real estate development, but the follow-up of Tea Love.

"Split up?"

Lin Wei nodded: "Take advantage of the moment of delisting and privatization to split up and reorganize the company."

In the beginning, Lin Wei was just running to make quick money, so she was a bit messy about Tea Love and didn't care about anything. Looking inside, there are burgers, French fries, and refreshments all in a mess, but now they are a bit different. A milk tea shop is not like a milk tea shop, and a fast food restaurant is not like a fast food restaurant. Because the food is too complicated, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and the franchisees are also very different. tired.

"Small stores less than three to four hundred feet tall will still be milk tea franchise stores. The categories will need to be re-formulated and some side products will be cut off. However, the large stores will be converted into hamburger fast food restaurants and split into two companies, both of which will be operated by tea. Liantong Company Holdings has two different operating models. Franchising hamburger restaurants means that we purchase or lease the land ourselves and then rent the stores to franchise stores. "

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The former is more flexible, while the latter is more cost-effective. It is larger and has a higher threshold to join, but in the early stage, before they become famous, they have to conduct pilot operations on their own.

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. This is a big move. It will be easy to handle in Xiangjiang, but Taiwan will be seriously injured.

However, Taiwan cannot make any big moves for a while. It had to start from Xiangjiang.

"What about the name?" Wu Ming looked at the plan book written by Lin Wei and asked, "After the split, we can't use the same name."

"Indeed, we need to think of a new name for the burger restaurant," Lin Wei pointed Pressing on the document, "When we get the staff of Cha Lian back together, including those who ran away, we will find a way to bring them back. Let's brainstorm, take your time, don't be in a hurry."

Catering is Lin Wei's old profession. She is not too worried. There is a process for re-building the team. When the storm is over before the end of the year, it will be good if it can be done well.

"Why don't we call it Queen's Castle." Wu Ming suddenly said.

ah?

Lin Wei was stunned.

Wu Ming said: "They used to call you the Queen of Milk Tea. The Queen's Castle is easier to carry out brand communication. It is very intuitive and is conducive to memory and word-of-mouth communication."

Lin Wei opened her mouth, wondering where she could be called the Queen, and she didn't I liked people calling me that so much that I died early in the morning.

How can it be so easy to become a queen? When she is scolded, I am afraid it will be very unpleasant.

"Xiangjiang is a place that was influenced by British colonization. It is indeed easier to be known as the Queen. Your personal reputation can support this name."

Wu Ming's words directly blocked Lin Wei's rejection, and everything was about "money".

There is a Burger King in foreign countries, and they have a Queen Burger, and Burger Queen seems to be able to accept it.

Lin Wei suddenly felt that she could actually have a catering empire.

No, stop it!

Don't aim too high, just do it one step at a time.

Lin Wei put the documents aside and picked up another case.

"We need to find a reliable contractor for the land in Causeway Bay. You have worked for Chu Aidong, do you have any recommendations?" Lin Wei handed the case to him, "Money is not the primary issue to consider, the quality and professionalism of the project are more important. Our requirements are very high. "

Finding a reliable Party B can save a lot of things.

Wu Ming opened the case and said: "Everyone is shutting down now. It is easy to find, but do you want to consider bidding? This way there will be more room for choice."

Lin Wei put her chin on her fist, thoughtfully Looking at him: "You said... what about we setting up a construction company ourselves?"

She said in Wu Ming's surprised eyes: "You also said that everyone is suspending work, so there is a high probability that we will find the best people. Those people, their subordinates will naturally follow. Do you think it is feasible? "

It is best to leave professional things to professional people, saving time and cost. "

But the problem now is that Lin Wei has too many demands. She doesn't like the current buildings no matter how she looks at them. Once they are built, they have to do the master planning in one step and make each area have its own characteristics.

If you ask too much, communication with Party B will inevitably be troublesome.

It is easier and smoother to implement requests from your own company.

Wu Ming frowned slightly: "It's not impossible..."

Lin Wei waited for the second half of his sentence.

"Do you have enough money?" Wu Ming asked.

"The final amount of money that Kowloon Aviation Industry will cost is still unknown. It is conservatively estimated to be more than 300 million. Causeway Bay has already spent 150 million, and the subsequent development is also a big expense. That day you said on the phone that you still wanted to buy land. You Even if you want to use Hezi to support the real estate company, it is not that easy. "

What's more, it is best to separate the two companies. If the accounts are mixed together, it is easy to cause problems.

Lin Wei currently controls the shares by herself, so this operation is OK, but it is not possible if there are other shareholders.

Lin Wei is the only actual controlling shareholder of Weiwei Industrial, Hezi Group and Chalian.

The problem lies here. She has no partners, so she has to provide the manpower, material resources, and financial resources alone, and it is easy to be stretched.

"Then find a partner," Lin Wei said. "Speaking of it, partners are indeed more reliable. You first see if there is a suitable candidate who can contribute money and effort. I will write a plan for you later. Without it, we will Think of other ways. "

Wanting to have everything in hand is too greedy and dangerous. Only by turning people with resources, money and power into partners can you get twice the result with half the effort.

Turning downstream construction companies into partners is an ecological chain partnership and a partnership model.

She is not limited to looking for such downstream partners. Because she is short of money, she also wants to find other partners with funds.

The difficulty is that none of the current real estate companies have money.

The rich ones are mainly those shipping giants, because this wave of impact has the least impact on them. They are ship owners, and their main business is ship leasing. They rent ships to Japanese, European and American people, but they have all recently purchased new oil tankers. , so the cash flow is not abundant.

The ecological chain of shipping is also quite interesting. Japan builds ships, Hong Kong people buy ships, and then lease the ships to Japan, Europe and the United States.

This is entirely due to Japan's relevant policies.

In order to develop its shipbuilding industry, Japan offers preferential treatment to foreign companies that purchase ships. It is not cost-effective for Japanese people to buy ships, so they go to other countries to rent ships.

Xiangjiang is a port city, an important trade route in the Far East, a hub port in the South Asia-Pacific region, and the positioning of a free port, so the shipping industry here is very developed. The main customers of Japanese shipbuilding companies are the big guys in Xiangjiang. .

In this case, it depends on who has confidence in the future of Xiangjiang, otherwise they will not want to partner with Lin Wei if they have money.

Facts have proved that everyone is not very confident, and even after searching around, they don’t want to partner with Lin Wei.

Wu Ming found a contractor with a good reputation in all aspects. The contractor also wanted to use money to do the work and would not eat the cake that Lin Wei drew for him.

Fortunately, the price quoted is not high. With work suspended for such a long time, it is no longer easy to find work in this situation.

Lin Wei didn't force it either. With the current conditions, she really couldn't get a bicycle.

With Hang Seng Bank as your backer, you won't really be short of money and your cash flow will be cut off.

"I have very high requirements," Lin Wei put down the information and asked directly, "How is your ability to withstand stress?"

Song Huizu crossed his arms, crossed his legs, and said with a haughty expression: "I'm afraid you didn't ask for it."

Lin Wei looked at him and smiled. The young man is so nice and easy to communicate with.

At that time, Song Huizu didn't realize what the problem was. It was only after Lin Wei had numerous quarrels at the construction site that he understood what the phrase "ability to withstand stress" meant.

Every time a project is inspected and accepted, he will think of what Lin Wei said when he took the project payment, "It's hard to make money and hard to eat shit."

...

Lin Wei couldn't get a partner here, so she had to find another way to make money.

As a result, before Lin Wei could get any money, Ye Jingen found her a job that cost money.

"You want me to bid?" Lin Wei was a little surprised.

Ye Jingen looked apologetic: "Dear, I have put you in a difficult position. I don't trust others. Corruption problems can easily arise when communicating with government departments. This land is specially used to build public housing, but in the end it is likely to be used by them to make money." "

She fought for this piece of land for a long time. Taking advantage of this turmoil, she finally got the Hong Kong Governor to relent.

But if problems arise during subsequent execution, all previous efforts will be in vain.

Lin Wei opened her mouth, wanting to say that she had no experience, but looking at the other person's gray hair, she couldn't say no.

Every time they meet, she can find new traces of time on the other person's face.

Such a British woman has been working for the poor people here for more than ten years. Lin Wei is busy with business and has no deep concept of the poor. But Ye Jing'en is different. She understands all the difficulties and sufferings of the poor, and even takes a small amount of money. Subsidy and live a life similar to theirs.

Lin Wei couldn't do this to her, but at least she should lend a helping hand within her ability. This was the reason why Lin Wei never rejected Ye Jingen.

Su Tianrui's money was still with her, so it was okay to save him in an emergency

. She took a quick look and found that the land could be acquired for about 20 million.

Lin Wei said: "I'll give it a try."

Ye Jing'en breathed a sigh of relief and slowly smiled: "The government promised to provide one-third of the preferential land premium. The land is at the junction of Kowloon and the New Territories. Although it is a big project, it is The land price is not expensive, and you can apply for low-interest loans. I will be responsible for the entire project. If you have any problems that cannot be solved, I will help you communicate with the government."

This time, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It was not as troublesome as she thought, and the discount was added. Taking out a loan will indeed not take up too much of her cash flow, but it will take some effort.

"Are there many bidding companies?" Lin Wei began to flip through the information Ye Jing'en brought over.

In the past, the government built public housing on its own, at best using contractors. This is the first time they have cooperated with developers.

"Not much..." Ye Jing'en said, "The developers themselves are responsible for the final sales of public housing. The Housing Bureau will not buy back, but only restricts the companies to sell at 65% of the market price. Many people are not optimistic about this situation now. "

Land is cheap, but it must also be sold cheaply. Then it will be no different than usual, and it will still be controlled by the higher authorities. Who knows what will happen after the construction is completed, and what will happen if house prices plummet? So many people are unwilling.

Before the turmoil, everyone rushed to buy land in a swarm, and the fight was red-blooded, but now everyone is much more cautious.

However, in Lin Wei's view, after the construction is completed, even 65% of the market price will be considerable based on the rising rate of house prices.

You can make money and do charity at the same time. There is really no reason to refuse.

Lin Wei decided to go to the bidding meeting to see the situation first.

Regardless of whether they have intentions or not, many companies still sent people to participate in the meeting. Because it is a government project, this kind of cooperation is the first time, and it attracted many people to come and understand the situation.

Lin Wei met many familiar faces here.

Many people came up to chat with her and wanted to ask her if she was interested.

"I just came here to take a look," Lin Wei said perfunctorily, "Mainly just to join in the fun."

"Ms. Lin's shots are perfect. She makes a lot of money every time she makes a move. But I can't believe that she is just joining in the fun." Someone. Started to pick things up.

Others actually followed suit.

Lin Wei resisted the urge to roll her eyes and smiled lightly.

"Ms. Lin, come on, let me introduce you to someone who is also interested in public housing projects. Today's young people are really amazing. They are all so capable."

Lin Wei turned around with an expression on her face . It froze for a moment.

The other party was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled. He took his hand out of his pocket and stretched it towards Lin Wei: "Miss Lin, long time no see."

"Do you know each other?" The man was surprised.

Lin Wei looked at the slender hand in front of her and couldn't help but shake her head. This was probably the way strangers interacted with each other.

She has never shaken hands with Song Ye.

She raised her hand and held it gently, feeling dry, warm and powerful.

Lin Wei couldn't help but shiver at the feeling of touch, and her heart palpitated.

She closed her eyes, raised her head, looked at the other person, and smiled: "You are really interested in this project. You should know that public housing is not mainly for profit, right?"

Song Ye looked at her with a subtle look in his eyes. emotions.

"Ms. Lin seems to have some prejudice against me. Do you think I haven't done my homework and can't figure out the situation?"

The man looked at the two of them. In this atmosphere, he smiled and said: "I still have something to do. You two go first." Chat." Then he left.

The two of them walked to a slightly secluded place.

Lin Wei stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sun was shining brightly, enveloping people in the bright light, giving people a burning feeling.

She said: "You should change the project. The land I enclosed for you before is a better choice."

This public housing project makes money, but it is incomparable with commercial land.

To give a simple analogy, in ordinary market behavior, the cost is 10 yuan, and the last 100 yuan is sold, making a profit of 90 yuan.

But if it is a public welfare project, the cost of 10 yuan will become 7 yuan, and finally sold at a discount of 65 yuan, making a profit of 58 yuan.

Although they all made money, the price difference was huge. The more the house price rose, the greater the loss.

If you buy land for millions cheaper, you may end up making tens of millions or even hundreds of millions less. No matter how you calculate this, it will be a loss.

If it were not for charity, Lin Wei would not choose to participate in the bidding. It would be more profitable to use the money to buy other land.

Moreover, there is a British Hong Kong government above, which is very troublesome to deal with. They might get stuck somewhere and extort bribes from you.

And Song Ye...

Lin Wei doubted his intentions. He didn't look like someone...who would do such a thing.

The smile on Song Ye's face was faint. He looked at the slender shadow on the ground. The bright sunshine outlined the clear outline of the girl. It was quiet, gentle, and as calm as if no one dared to touch it.

"Perhaps in Miss Lin's eyes, she is the only one who has compassion for others, and everyone else is a hypocrite who is only interested in profit." He spoke in a casual tone, tearing off the gentle coat, leaving no trace of his harshness and coldness hidden.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, and then her anger surged: "You..."

Yes, he was so annoying to begin with. She used to hate this person very much. Neither she nor Fang Mobai liked him.

Song Ye was like this towards people she didn't like, and she hadn't realized it before.

This person hates her. He hated her before and now he hates her too.

Song Ye was still looking at the shadow on the ground. The girl's rising and falling breathing gave rise to some inappropriate thoughts for no reason.

"You... do whatever you want." Lin Wei was a little discouraged. She was the one who was nosy in the first place, and she really shouldn't doubt Song Ye's original intention.

If Song Ye believed her, housing prices would definitely rise in the future, and he would understand this truth.

It's just that she doesn't understand why Song Ye did this?

Is it to make her angry?

But he is not an impulsive person either.

Once two people are far apart, they can no longer know what the other person is thinking, or even ask.

The misunderstanding will become bigger and bigger. She doesn't want to misunderstand Song Ye, nor does she want to hate him. Those beautiful memories are very precious to her.

She turned around and walked back.

"I advise Miss Lin to change projects."

Song Ye's gentle voice came from behind.

Lin Wei stopped.

"If we win this project, I will develop the surrounding area together and move the circle you drew here so that the people living here can meet their daily needs without having to go too far." The man lowered his voice, which Lin Wei liked. The clear, low-pitched, soft words fell on my ears, and my heart softened unconsciously.

Lin Wei turned around.

Song Ye leaned against the pillar, stared at her, and said softly: "You don't have to worry about what I will do. I have selfish motives, but I won't target the poor. I have some things I want to do."

Lin Wei couldn't fully understand what he meant, but at this moment, she felt that what he said was true.

It's possible that she misunderstood Song Ye.

Lin Wei turned her head and did not dare to look at him again. She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and afraid that she would ask why.

Song Ye looked at Lin Wei's back, his dark eyes without any impurities, his calm and indifferent eyes without joy or anger, but at the moment when the back disappeared, a hint of pain broke out.

When Lin Wei went back, she called Ye Jing'en and told her that she wanted to withdraw from the bidding. Then she pushed Song Ye to her and asked her to get in touch to see if it was OK.

Hang up the phone.

Lin Wei didn't know if she was doing the right thing. She had complicated feelings for Song Ye and didn't trust him, but she wanted to trust him because of his promise.

He seemed to have no reason to cheat on her now.

What is it that he wants to do?

The ringing of the phone interrupted her thoughts.

"I...Lin Wei, I seem to hear something moving in the basement."

"What?" Lin Wei was stunned.

Qin Sixin on the other end of the phone looked in the direction of the room, lowered her voice and said: "I said here at Chu Yinghao's Mid-level Villa, I seemed to hear a sound in the basement. Do you think it could be Chu Aidong..."

Before she could finish her words, she quickly The phone hangs up.

Qin Sixin panicked and grabbed a book on the table, then retreated to the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as I opened it, I heard a voice coming from behind.

Qin Sixin breathed slowly, then turned around and said with a smile: "I investigated what books you usually read, and I found something good."

"What good thing?" Chu Yinghao looked at the book with a slightly sly cover in her hand. Tacky book.

Qin Sixin seemed to have grasped something on the other side, raised her hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to like reading romance novels. I never noticed it."

Chu Yinghao sat down next to her: "Then you are indeed I found something good, this book was written by me."

Huh?

Qin Sixin was stunned.

"Can you write a book?"

Chu Yinghao put his hand on her shoulders: "It will also be a best-seller, but you can choose it. You still know the protagonist in it."
