Getting Rich Quick, Starting with Buying Goods in 1984 Chapter 197: My Surname Isn't Actually Zhao...
Gu Wei and Zhao Heng were both returning to the capital and took the same flight.
After boarding, they sat together and chatted enthusiastically the whole way.
As the plane was about to reach its destination, Zhao Heng suddenly said as if he had just remembered something, "Actually, my surname isn't Zhao."
Gu Wei turned his head slightly in surprise to look at Zhao Heng. They had known each other for two or three months, but he hadn't expected this. "What's your surname?"
"My surname is Qin." Zhao Heng scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, I should have told you the truth sooner. My father was very opposed to me going into business, so I simply used my mother's surname to get a legal identity."
Gu Wei completely understood and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "It's okay, it's just a name. So, your name was Qin Heng before?"
"No, Qin Zhiheng."
As soon as Qin Zhiheng finished speaking, Gu Wei's expression changed slightly.
Because, in an instant, he thought of Qin Zhiman.
They are both from the capital, both have the same surname Qin, and even share the same middle character.
It can't be that much of a coincidence, right?
However, those past events are now history, and even if Qin Zhiheng and Qin Zhiman are indeed related, there's no need to bring them up anymore.
However, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't affected at all.
Qin Zhiheng stared intently at Gu Wei, naturally not missing his reaction. "What's wrong?"
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. I feel that adding the character 'δΉ‹' immediately gives it a cultured feel and makes it more classy."
Qin Zhiheng was naturally pleased to hear this, "I think so too."
With Gu Wei's deliberate manipulation, the conversation between the two quickly shifted to other topics.
After landing, Gu Jianguo specially drove to the airport to pick up Gu Wei.
Qin Zhiheng also had someone pick him up by car.
So the two quickly waved goodbye.
However, they had already exchanged mobile phone numbers beforehand, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will definitely keep in touch frequently in the future.
Once Gu Wei was in the driver's seat, Gu Jianguo couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? How much did you earn?"
Gu Wei smiled and gestured with his fingers, "Guess."
Gu Jianguo swallowed hard, then boldly guessed, "Seven hundred thousand?"
Gu Wei leaned back in his chair, relaxed, and gave a false report without changing his expression, "Add another zero."
"Seven million... million!" Gu Jianguo's mouth was agape in shock, wide enough to fit an egg, and his eyes were as big as saucers.
Because of Gu Jianguo's reaction, Gu Wei immediately thought of the skit featuring Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei, and Gao Xiumin, where they talked about winning 30 million yuan and immediately started drawing lots. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Gu Jianguo had no idea what Gu Wei was thinking and assumed that he was laughing because he was happy.
It took him a while to recover. He closed his jaw and found his voice. "My God! This thing makes money so fast! Seven million, I can't even imagine... Why bother with any other business? Just focus on this thing, it's incredibly profitable."
Gu Wei sighed softly, "It's not that easy. The stock market is unpredictable and very risky. If you're not careful, you can be harvested like a leek and lose everything."
As a small shrimp drifting with the tide, how could it withstand big waves?
If he hadn't been so prescient, he might have been crushed on the beach long ago.
Gu Jianguo sighed, recalling the news he'd seen. "Yeah, I heard there were even cases of people jumping off buildings. So what are you planning to do with all that money? You can't just leave it in the bank to earn interest, can you?"
"Of course not, I plan to buy more houses." After Gu Wei was honest with Gu Jianguo, she didn't hide many things from him, and the feeling of being able to discuss things with him was very good.
Gu Jianguo knew that Gu Wei understood the development over the next few decades and that every step he took would be correct, so of course he fully supported him. "Great, housing will always be a guarantee."
Gu Wei paused for a moment, then said, "In addition, I plan to open a fried chicken restaurant similar to KFC in Beijing first, and also sell traditional snacks such as wontons. If the business is good, I will turn it into a chain."
Gu Jianguo clapped his hands and cheered, "This is a great idea, combining both Chinese and Western elements. You really have something in your head, it's all about business."
Gu Weike was too embarrassed to accept the praise so readily, and said honestly, "This isn't my original idea. There's a Ronghua Chicken restaurant in Haicheng that's shouting the slogan 'Wherever KFC opens, I'll open one too,' using foreign methods to fight foreigners, going head-to-head with KFC, and even starting a price war. KFC sells a meal for 12.7 yuan, and they sell it for 7.2 yuan, forcing KFC to lower its price to 9.9 yuan. Not long after, only foreigners were left dining at KFC. Now they should be opening a branch in Beijing soon too."
"Is that so?" Gu Jianguo frowned, looking worried. "Can we even compete with them?"
Gu Weiyun said calmly, "It's okay. The focus is different, and each has its own characteristics and management methods. Everyone has their own way of running a business."
Because he knew the future fate of Ronghua Chicken.
Playing the national sentiment card is always a winning strategy.
Later, some diners complained that although Ronghua Chicken was cheap, it was not high-end. They said that the fried chicken left their hands greasy, and the restaurant did not even have a restroom. After finishing their meal, they wanted to sit for a while, but the waiters actually chased them away.
The rapid expansion of branches and management have led to a breakdown in operations, while KFC remains as stable as ever.
Ronghua Chicken then realized that its competitor was not KFC, but rather the strong capital, management framework, and service philosophy behind KFC.
By 2000, Ronghua Chicken finally couldn't hold on any longer, and its last branch in Beijing's Andingmen closed down, marking its exit from the battle royale.
Wallace first observed from outside the Colosseum before officially establishing itself in 2001. It first penetrated the market in first-tier cities and gradually expanded to major cities, eventually having more than 3,000 branches.
There's also Zhengxin Chicken Cutlet, which focuses on chicken cutlets as its main product and caters to the mass market. With franchisees everywhere, it's making a fortune.
So, this cake is big, but it's not inedible.
Moreover, he also intends to build a national brand and take market share from some foreign fast food chains.
"That's good." Gu Jianguo had a lot of confidence in Gu Wei, and besides, their business wasn't limited to just this one item.
After that, Gu Wei got busy again after only a few days of rest.
Shi Xuelin was also transferred from Harbin to Beijing by him.
Shi Xuelin was more than willing to do so.
Originally, only the father and daughter remained in the family, relying on each other for survival.
If he could work in Beijing, he would be able to see his daughter, who was studying at Renmin University, more often.
Starting in June, the TV station began broadcasting the TV series "Little Dragon Man".
This drama is the first mythological children's TV series in China. It tells the story of a little jade dragon that has been sleeping in the Forbidden City for thousands of years. It is awakened by Qiqi and transforms into a little dragon person. Together with Baobao and Beibei, who live in a courtyard, they embark on a fun story with the theme of "the little dragon person looking for his mother".
"I have horns on my head, I have a tail behind me, and no one knows how many secrets I hold..."
Gu Wei, in a good mood, hummed this incredibly familiar melody as he walked into the bowling alley.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance...
