Chapter 74 Entry Fee
"Well, how's it going over there?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. Take care of yourself. I'm going to be busy again."
Ji Wan chatted briefly with Zhou Zechuan and then hung up the phone.
On the other side, Zhou Zechuan frowned. Why did Ji Wan suddenly mention Yuxiang City? Did she realize something?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zechuan's heart sank and he felt a little uneasy.
He took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Check if Ji Wan went to Yuxiang City today, especially to the shore."
"yes."
At the same time, in a tobacco shop in Yuxiang City, a man wearing a black vest, tattoos on his arms, and a pair of sunglasses looked very gangster.
Looking at the note on the phone, Boss Two sneered.
I'm sorry, boss. It's because the big boss gave me too much.
It’s a pity that this kid was very cautious and didn’t tell him too much, otherwise he could have made more money by selling what he knew.
The man clicked on another chat box, which had the note "Boss Chi" and sent a message to Zhou Zechuan asking him to check the girl's visit.
The reply was quick and concise.
"Keep going."
"Okay."
The man put away his phone and couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it. He was just a small gangster in Yuxiang City and had a few people following him.
One day, a big boss found him and asked him and a few of his men to watch over a woman, a very beautiful woman. As soon as the woman arrived here, they should contact her immediately and stop her from going to the port.
Although he was puzzled, he agreed because the money was generous. However, he had been waiting for almost a year, and not only had he not seen many beautiful women here, he hadn't even seen many decent girls.
Unexpectedly, not long after, another man came to him and asked him to act out a scene with Boss Zhou, telling him to tell the woman first if she came and protect her safety.
The price offered was higher, and this was a deal where he could make double the money, so he immediately agreed. He couldn't help but think that it was really easy to make money from rich people.
…
In Zhou Zechuan's office, his assistant knocked gently on the door, interrupting his thoughts. "Mr. Zhou, someone's here."
"Well, come in."
Zhou Zechuan tried his best to maintain his composure and suppress the doubts in his heart.
The acting manager of the Chi family’s store in Yucheng came into the office, wearing a neat white professional suit, which made him look both beautiful and capable.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou."
The female manager smiled and extended her hand. Zhou Zechuan shook it and said with a smile, "Please sit down."
The female manager nodded and placed the documents on the table. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the female manager got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhou, the Chi family's store has opened in your nursing home. We'll mainly sell health products and massage equipment. The Chi family owns many businesses, but we're very strong in elderly care products. Don't worry."
"These are sales statistics and reports from recent years. Don't worry."
The female manager smiled and pushed her glasses up. "But since Mr. Zhou contacted us directly, I guess he trusts us. Because of that trust, we're offering a 20% discount on our entry fee. After the discount, the total entry fee is 30 million."
Zhou Zechuan's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this, revealing a subtle hesitation. He had always been known for his shrewdness, and this trait was now on full display.
Thirty million is within his budget, but it would be better if he could pay less.
"The Chi family's products are naturally industry-leading, but this entry fee..." He paused, his eyes scanning the document sharply, his voice slightly low, "Isn't it a bit high? Although we at the Zhou company are very willing to work hand in hand with you, we also have to consider the balance between costs and benefits."
The agent's smile remained unchanged, but he also looked a little more serious.
She opened her red lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, the quality of Chi's products is obvious to all, and the market response is excellent. This is not just a matter of cost, but also a reflection of the brand effect and fan loyalty. Don't worry, after we move in, we will send professional staff and store managers. You don't need to worry about the labor. All profits will belong to your company. This 30 million also includes their wages. Ten years of stay is really a great deal."
Zhou Zechuan lowered his eyes, tapped the table with his fingers, and said thoughtfully.
"Actually, you should know that Brother Chi and I have a close relationship, and I hope to get some favor from him on this deal."
Upon hearing this, the agent's eyes flashed with shrewdness. "Mr. Zhou is a good friend of Second Master Chi, so this is a no-brainer. However, I hope Mr. Zhou understands the matter of the entry fee. After all, the Chi family's businesses span the country, and any cooperation we reach requires reporting to headquarters. This isn't something he can control; it's a long-standing corporate practice. Every transaction must be handled with caution."
Zhou Zechuan cursed in his heart but remained calm on the surface.
"I know, but our project has just started, so I hope you can understand."
The agent pretended to understand and lowered his eyes in thought for a while.
"Of course, I understand. Let's put it this way. To show our sincerity, we're willing to lower the admission fee by 5%, but no more."
"Okay, thank you."
The two chatted in the office for a while, and twenty minutes later the agent came out of the office.
After leaving Zhou Zechuan's company, the agent found a quiet coffee shop and called his boss.
"boss."
"Yeah." Chi Wenyan's voice was light and his emotions were calm.
The manager's palms were sweating. Although he had been training under Zhou Zechuan, he had also become the sales champion of Yucheng Industry.
I have a strong ability to withstand pressure, and even if the person I'm facing is not an ordinary person, I won't be afraid.
But when talking to Chi Wenyan, he always felt afraid and nervous unconsciously.
Like a student facing his teacher.
"Boss Chi, we've reached an agreement with Zhou Zechuan. Just as you expected, he thinks the entry fee is too high, so I'm lowering it to 5%."
"Well, that's to be expected. Let's continue with the plan. Once the nursing home is built, we can give him all the resources and attract the attention of Kyoto."
"Yes, you should be careful over there too. The people in Kyoto are watching too closely."
"Um."
The agent breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone. The low pressure that was about to overflow was really unbearable.
I packed up my things and left the cafe, reviewing my plan silently in my mind.
At the same time, Chi Wenyan was negotiating an environmental protection business with a foreign country. It is not easy to make business in the environmental protection industry because the material cost alone is extremely high.
The domestic industry is not in a recession, but Chi Wenyan is doing very well.
The environment abroad is much better than that in China. As long as you are willing to work hard and persevere in this field, you will eventually see the clouds clear and the fog dissipate.
However, it is very difficult to make it happen. The most important skill for a businessman is investment. Chi Wenyan has a keen eye and has funded some foreign research institutes to develop good environmentally friendly materials, which have received good responses in the market.
Naturally, the dividends received were high, and then it was natural for them to recruit people from the research institute into their own camp, start a company, select a factory for mass production, and make considerable profits.
