Chen Zhe took the initiative to find Hu Ling.
Hu Ling hesitated when she saw his proposal.
"You mean Sister Luo invited you to work on this supermarket? Does that mean you're going to quit your job?"
When she said this, it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Sister Luo has this idea, but after thinking about it carefully, I still think I should ask Sister Hu for your opinion."
How would you like my answer?
“Sister Hu, you are my benefactor. I am able to earn this much income today entirely because of you. If it weren’t for you, I would probably still be doing a job that pays 4,000 yuan. The platform is very important, I understand that very well. I will do whatever you tell me to do.”
Hu Ling gave him a very appreciative look. She had just read the proposal and heard Chen Zhe say that the other party wanted to invest 100 million yuan.
Such a huge temptation—if it were her, she might have quietly resigned. Chen Zhe actually came to ask for her opinion, which made her look at him with even higher regard.
"Yes, I've read this plan. It's very well-developed, and it definitely seems like something Sister Luo would have done."
Chen Zhe smiled inwardly.
[Nonsense, she did it in the first place; I just did it for her.]
“If you follow this model, she can definitely make it work with her financial resources. Your income over there will be no less than here…”
Hu Ling was very confident in this plan. Having been in the business world for so long, she could tell at a glance whether someone could make money or not.
Although this idea is very bold, the person who invested in this plan is Luo Guifang, which provides a guarantee.
Hu Ling hesitated.
[If I ask him to refuse, he might, but I can't explain it to Luo Guifang. She'll definitely have a problem with me and might not come back. Besides, with her connections, it'll be difficult for me to use her again... But if I agree, I'll lose Chen Zhe. He's my star performer here. Lin Meiyu and the two young ladies from the Zhang family value him highly. Even that female PhD wants to hire him, and Chen Si came because of him, plus the one Luo Guifang introduced before...]
It's still a bit shocking to think about it.
It's astonishing that so many clients have developed relationships with Chen Zhe, and some of them have maintained very good relationships with him.
Giving up on Chen Zhe is impossible, but directly asking him to reject Luo Guifang is also not an option.
[The best way is... I'll get involved too!!]
Having made up her mind, Hu Ling calmly put down the plan.
“I’m very glad you came to ask for my opinion. I just looked at it and it’s very feasible. I’m actually willing to let you go out and try your luck, but you also need to think carefully. If such a good opportunity is given to you, can you seize it?”
"Sister Hu, I..."
“Luo Guifang is a capitalist. She offered you such generous terms because she definitely hopes to extract value from you. If you go there, you'll just be working for her. I suggest... that she divide the shares into three parts: one for you, one for her, and I'll take the third!”
"Oh? Hu Ling, are you interested too?"
"Hehe, I'm not interested. I'm just thinking of you. After all, I'm the one who raised you up. I don't want to see you go astray. If I get involved, I can help you a little. If Luo Guifang wants to wrong you in the future, you still have me, right?"
Chen Zhe pretended to be very touched; "Sister Hu, you really are the best to me!"
Hu Ling chuckled inwardly; [Fool, my kindness to you comes with conditions!]
"Of course, we never hinder our employees' success. I'm glad you're doing well. But since you're not good at running a supermarket or have never done business before, I suggest you keep your current job. As for the basic investment and operations, I'll discuss it with Sister Luo."
"this……"
[If they talk alone, what I said might give me away... No, that's too dangerous.]
"Sister Hu, how about we call it quits? I feel like this isn't fair to you. I'll go back and refuse Sister Luo, just saying I'm not suited for business..."
"No! If you refuse her, she'll definitely have a problem with it!"
"But... I'm afraid that you two will have a falling out because of me."
Hu Ling was taken aback; it wasn't impossible.
Her relationship with Luo Guifang wasn't very deep; she talked to Lin Meiyu much more than she did with Luo Guifang.
If I were to approach her rashly, she might think I'm meddling, and I'd end up looking greedy.
[Well... he makes a good point.]
Seeing Hu Ling hesitate, Chen Zhe immediately continued, "Sister Hu, how about this? I'll talk to him. If I bring it up and want to bring you in, even if she objects, she won't blame you."
Hu Ling's eyes lit up; "This kid is actually so considerate of me? No wonder he can charm those clients so much, hehe."
"Okay, then you can talk to her, I won't meet with her directly."
"Alright, I'll take care of this. I'll head out now, Sister Hu?"
"Okay, go ahead."
...
Chen Zhe then approached Luo Guifang again, showering her with flattery and persuasion until the matter was finally settled.
Both sides were afraid that Chen Zhe would be controlled by the other, and even took the initiative to come up with a solution for Chen Zhe, saying that they could find a lawyer to help him draft the terms and conditions so that he could keep control of the supermarket.
Chen Zhe, of course, didn't want their lawyers. He still trusted himself and proposed bringing in a third-party lawyer, a proposal that Hu Ling and Luo Guifang accepted.
The original three-person collaboration.
Now, Luo Guifang and Hu Ling are the investors, each holding 20% of the shares.
The management rights and decision-making power remain with Chen Zhe.
These two women aren't actually short of money; they're more interested in selling themselves to Chen Zhe for a good deal.
The biggest factor that led them to make this decision was that Chen Zhe had won over Chen Si.
If we can win over Chen Zhe, we can also win over Chen Si later.
Therefore, it is essential to treat him well now.
Finally, with everything settled, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. If the two of them had met and talked, he would have known he was lying to them. Fortunately, they had been kind to him.
The image I projected earlier also gave me assurance.
In front of them, I appear to be an honest and simple person.
Moreover, he is an honest person who will consider their feelings.
...
Wang De rented the shopping mall and, as the actual operator of the supermarket, he was busy with all sorts of things. Chen Zhe gave him 10% of the shares.
Wang De knew he was going to get so much, and he initially disagreed. He felt that he hadn't paid a single penny and was taking advantage of his brother.
But Chen Zhe didn't think so.
"Brother, just take it. Have you forgotten what I said? Our supermarket relies on rules, which means we can't mistreat anyone. You'll have a lot to do in the future, so I won't be able to come here often."
Hearing Chen Zhe say that, Wang De accepted the gift with embarrassment.
"Brother, I'm not saying anything more. From now on, my life is in your hands. I'll do whatever you tell me to do, no questions asked!"
...
In Wu Qingli's rented apartment, when she received the 5% share from Chen Zhe, she was completely dumbfounded.
"You...you...are you crazy?"
