Many people believe that you should start a business from the ground up.
Chen Zhe used to think the same way.
But now he has some different views.
He believes that doing business requires setting a very high goal, which is based on considerations of one's social circle.
The people he knows and wants to befriend are all worth billions. If you talk to them about small business deals worth hundreds of thousands or millions, they won't even give you a second glance.
To attract their investment, you need to make the pie big enough and the blueprint good enough.
That's how you attract them to come in.
So when Wang De suggested opening a small supermarket, he immediately rejected it.
It's true that business must be done step by step, and experience must be accumulated little by little.
However, Chen Zhe did not intend to run the business himself; he planned to let those who were good at business do it.
All you need to do is manage the interests involved.
If the business is to grow and his plans are to succeed, then the equity must be clearly defined. He didn't understand this aspect, but he thought of someone who did.
The lawyer who handled Wang De's divorce case.
It was the one Wu Qingli introduced to them.
Chen Zhe invited him out.
The lawyer's name is Zhang San, a very casual name.
He and Wu Qingli were college classmates, and it was Wu Qingli who introduced them to each other, so Zhang San was still very polite to Chen Zhe.
He listed several models for Chen Zhe, based on the premise that Chen Zhe would use 10 million to control hundreds of millions of start-up funds.
Chen Zhe couldn't understand these things either, so he planned to hire Zhang San to help him deal with them.
Zhang San smiled.
"Although you and Qingli are friends, I still need to make it clear to you that my prices are not low."
"Of course, Attorney Zhang, name your price!"
"Two million a year! And I can take on other cases in between."
“I’ll give you 2.5 million a year, on the condition that you prioritize handling my matters.”
Zhang San hesitated for a moment.
"make a deal!"
...
Shortly after Zhang San left, Wu Qingli called.
"Are you crazy? How do you have so much money to hire Zhang San as your lawyer?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I can definitely come up with the money; otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for it."
The other party hesitated for a moment.
"Where are you now?"
"What's up?"
"Come to my rented apartment!"
...
After finishing his cigarette, Chen Zhe silently got up and dressed.
Wu Qingli hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am currently in the midst of a divorce lawsuit with Tian Dongqiang."
"Oh, is that so?"
"He sold our house to pay Hu Ling's compensation, so I decided to sue him."
Chen Zhe turned and glanced at her; "What about your child?"
“I can’t give him the child, so I’m suing him to make him pay me the alimony in a lump sum.”
"You're going to kill him."
"Heh, that's considered mild. If you hadn't interfered, I would have made his death much worse."
"How so?"
Wu Qingli hesitated for a moment, then took out an insurance policy from her bag.
Chen Zhe glanced at it and then froze.
The beneficiary of this insurance policy is Wu Qingli, and the insurer is Tian Dongqiang.
"you……"
“That’s right. I originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill him, like when he accidentally fell off a cliff while hiking, or when he got carbon monoxide poisoning while camping…”
Chen Zhe gasped; "It seems I saved his life after all..."
"Heh, things have come to this point, all I can do is ask for more compensation. He's desperate now. As far as I know, he gave your ex-girlfriend to their vice president as a gift..."
Chen Zhe's face remained expressionless.
"Um."
Aren't you angry?
Wu Qingli was quite surprised.
"What's there to be angry about? You already said she's my ex-girlfriend. Besides, hasn't his wife slept with me several times now?"
Wu Qingli blushed.
"Pah! You men are all the same!"
"Heh, same to you. A wasp's stinger is the most poisonous thing, and a woman's heart is the most venomous. You want to kill him too. Do you think you're kinder than me?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you about this. You can go now!"
Wu Qingli looked unhappy.
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment, then lay down again.
"What? Didn't you say you were going back?"
"I just thought about it, and I'm still a little angry, so I've decided to get revenge on him a little more!"
"Huh? Hey hey hey!! Stop it!! Ouch! Be gentle!!"
...
After getting up again, Wu Qingli had a satisfied expression on her face.
Chen Zhe smiled.
Just now, when he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that he couldn't let things get too tense with Wu Qingli. He and Wu Qingli weren't on opposing sides, and Wu Qingli was a classmate of Zhang San, the lawyer he had just hired. It was very necessary to maintain a good relationship with Wu Qingli.
"Let's go!"
"oh!"
"I'll come find you again next time!"
"Get out of here!"
Wu Qingli gave a reproachful look.
Chen Zhe left with a grin.
...
Three days later.
Chen Zhe delivered the proposal to Luo Guifang, directly to her office.
A formal venue is necessary for conducting business.
He couldn't do it at the club, and he was also afraid that Hu Ling would find out; at least for now, he was still somewhat wary.
Luo Guifang was very satisfied after seeing the plan. How could she not be? It was basically all her plan.
He tapped his fingers on the table. "You've decided to just take over that one supermarket? Don't you think it's a bit small?"
"Sister Luo, I do want to expand, but you know I don't have much money right now."
Chen Zhe pretended to be very honest.
Luo Guifang seemed to have been waiting for him to say those words.
"That's alright. I really like your plan. Let's go big and make it the biggest supermarket in Xicheng District. What do you think?"
"Huh? Does it have to be that big?"
"Of course! If we're going to do it, we have to do it the best. The second best won't do. After I came back that day, I held a meeting the next day. I discussed this issue at the meeting. Your supermarket model is very suitable for the promotion of our air conditioners, so we've decided to invest in you. What do you think?"
Chen Zhe seemed somewhat conflicted.
"What's wrong? You don't accept it?"
"It's like this, Sister Luo. That night, I was writing a proposal when Sister Hu bumped into me, and then... then she became interested in my proposal, so..."
Luo Guifang was surprised by this turn of events. She hesitated for a moment. "It's alright! There can't be only one investor. Let's divide it proportionally. The total investment for this project will be around 100 million. You contribute 10 million, and since this idea was originally yours, you'll take 20%. The remaining 80 million will be split equally between Hu Ling and me. Moreover, I can provide very professional staff and managers. We are also familiar with some of the sourcing channels. We've been cooperating with supermarkets for years, so you can rest assured about that."
"Sister Luo, of course I believe you, but Sister Hu has already rented the place. I didn't expect her to act so quickly, so..."
Luo Guifang was somewhat angry.
"Hu Ling is so unethical! She's clearly trying to steal your ideas! I'm going to talk to her!"
Chen Zhe quickly pulled her back.
"Sister Luo, please don't be impulsive. It's not worth ruining your relationship with Sister Hu for my sake."
"Chen Zhe, this plan is something we came up with together. It's not entirely your personal matter. Don't worry about it, I'll handle it. You may be afraid of Hu Ling, but I'm not."
"Sister Luo, Sister Luo, how about this? I'll try to persuade her, can you give me a day?"
Luo Guifang hesitated for a moment.
"Okay! You give it a try first."
"Thank you, Sister Luo!"
...
After leaving Luo Guifang's company, Chen Zhe took out a cigarette and started smoking.
He was lying to Luo Guifang just now; Hu Ling wasn't involved at all, so he couldn't let Luo Guifang confront Hu Ling.
Luo Guifang's reaction was within his calculations.
He's about to take a risky step: to deceive both women.
