Chapter 63 Hot Pot City
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-November.
Today is also the day when Tengsheng Fruit distributes dividends because a large-scale recharge event was held in October.
The profits distributed this month are particularly high.
Of this, 9.6 million went into Song Yanxi’s personal pocket.
As for Zhang Tao, Liu Jing and others, they all have more than one million in their pockets.
It’s a pity that the recharge activity was stopped in mid-October, otherwise there would definitely be more than 10 million.
Song Yanxi felt much more relieved. After buying a house for Zhao Liying, she didn't have much savings left.
Now that I've suddenly received nearly 10 million, I must reward my husband with a big gift.
The spendthrift woman secretly bought him a watch.
Her family didn't like these things before, but she gradually understood them after opening a high-end beauty shop.
In addition to cars and houses, watches are also standard equipment for wealthy families.
This time I bought him a Patek Philippe Nautilus.
The price is over 800,000 yuan.
Chen Pingsheng felt uncomfortable wearing it on his hand. This was just a small 200-square-meter house in Shacheng.
"When did you start researching these luxury goods?"
In the headquarters office, after everyone divided the money, they held a small meeting the next day.
"I can't afford to research planes and yachts, but I have to give you these watches, so you can't miss any of them."
Song Yanxi didn’t buy it herself, and still wears the Longines watch that costs more than 10,000 yuan.
She thought it was pretty good.
Her husband gives her all the dividends from the fruit shop every month. Apart from using them for real estate speculation, the rest of the money is used to buy him gifts.
Chen Pingsheng didn't pay much attention to these things, and said instead: "Everyone can still share a large amount this month, but starting from next month, there will definitely be no more. From now on, we can only rely on practical work."
"That's no problem."
Song Yanxi said, "The profit margins were already quite high after the fruit price increase. Plus, our business is booming, our turnover is high, and our losses have been completely reduced. We're still living comfortably on the profits every month."
"That's good."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "The Legend of Lu Zhen, which I invested in earlier, has already finished filming and is now undergoing final editing. It is expected to be broadcast on local TV stations next year. If it can be broadcast on Mango TV, then our investment in Zhao Liying will definitely increase in value."
"Then I'll ask her to come and do some free advertising for Tengsheng Fruit, and then have her go to Shuiyunjian for some maintenance. Then our Tengsheng Fruit and Shuiyunjian brands will be well-established in Beijing."
Song Yanxi's eyes lit up, "Honey, do I need to prepare in advance?"
"You can indeed make preparations."
Chen Pingsheng said, "Let's open one in the Second Ring Road. Don't be afraid of the large investment. Beauty products cost 1,000 yuan, but they can sell for 100,000 yuan. I really can't imagine how they could lose money with such a huge star effect."
There is no doubt that high-end beauty is extremely profitable.
Any project costs several thousand yuan, and the cost is the beautician's labor fee, product fee, and management salary.
If he can't grasp this kind of highly profitable cash flow industry, he will be a complete failure.
Song Yanxi was eager to try it out. This was the benefit of having money.
Even though the first Shuiyunjian had not yet started to make a profit, they dared to invest in the second one.
It's just a loss of a few million in the early stage, there's no pressure at all.
On the contrary, such a store is doing well.
The annual profit will not be less than 10 million, and can be as high as 40 or 50 million.
His wife has money in her pocket, so he might as well spend it all to prepare for the future.
"Old Chen, you're going to expand the beauty business, but what about our fruit business?"
Zhang Tao also asked curiously.
Chen Pingsheng explained, "I actually suggest that you expand to the Second Ring Road as soon as possible. Seriously, I have a feeling that Xiao Zhao will become a huge hit after Legend of Lu Zhen airs, and my Tengying Entertainment will further deepen its influence in the entertainment industry."
"The reason I didn't mention this to you is mainly because I'm worried that your funds won't keep up, and the store management's funds won't keep up either."
This is true.
It's easy to push it, and fruit supermarkets are not an industry with high barriers to entry.
You can open it if you have money.
If we calculate based on 20 companies, with an average investment of 1.5 million per company, that would be 30 million.
After distributing half of the shares to the on-site management, Chen Pingsheng's actual shareholding is actually only 26%.
Zhang Tao, Liu Jing and others also got a 50% discount.
It is not a big problem for them to come up with the money, but the most troublesome thing is that the store managers cannot come up with the investment capital.
If they don't invest, the store's management standards will plummet.
A fruit shop is a cash flow industry.
Chen Pingsheng is not planning to adopt a capital model. He always wants to keep a few things that can make stable and continuous profits.
So that we can have more escape routes in the future.
This is the case with Tengsheng Fruit and Shuiyunjian Beauty.
So, instead of rushing to expand.
It is better to operate steadily and step by step.
There is no pressure at all to open five to ten fruit supermarkets every month, and management will not be disconnected.
He can also focus on running the Hot Pot City and Tengying Entertainment with peace of mind.
Don't worry, don't worry.
Everything must be done according to plan, and only in a steady manner can we achieve rapid development.
Put stability first.
But you can't learn from Jia Huiji.
Zhang Tao and Liu Jing are not short of money now. Gao Hu has been back to Shacheng for half a month, and the two of them asked about some situations.
Chen Pingsheng understood it very well.
"He just sold those two stores the day before yesterday for about 1.8 million. The money should be coming in the next two days."
"Old Chen, where are you planning to start your hot pot restaurant?"
"Of course it's still in Shijingshan. This is our base camp."
Chen Pingsheng said, "The location has been chosen. We'll just wait for him to come and discuss the specific renovations. The investment for a single Hot Pot City store will be around two million. The location will either be a large shopping mall or a popular street."
"By the end of the year, I plan to invest 10 million to open five stores."
"So fast?" Zhang Tao was a little surprised.
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Things are different now, brothers. If you run a hot pot restaurant and it's still slow, how are you going to make a lot of money in the future?"
"This is just this year's investment plan. If everything goes well next year, Hot Pot City will have to invest at least another 100 million yuan."
I was thinking about investing in it, but now I hear that I can't afford it at all.
How can they participate in such a big project with the little money they have? They can't ask Lao Chen to pay for them.
The fruit supermarket is okay, but the hot pot city is definitely not.
The two suppressed their thoughts and chose without hesitation to give up the idea of investing.
Their main business is to run Tengsheng Fruit honestly.
As for other things, don’t be greedy.
You have to admit that I don’t have Lao Chen’s talent for business.
His amazing management ability has been slowly being demonstrated. Don’t you see that he can manage so many things in an orderly manner now?
This is what they are not prepared for... they have to admit it.
Less than two days later, that show-off Gao Hu came with a large group of people.
They are all the elites in his store.
The original crew was directly brought to the capital.
Of course Chen Pingsheng welcomed them warmly, and for this reason he had to stock up on several more apartments in Shijingshan as dormitories for his employees.
The matter of buying a house was naturally left to Song Yanxi.
He allocated 10 million yuan and planned to buy four sets at one time.
It's just right for accommodating dozens of people.
Gao Hu, a show-off, just made a small fortune by changing his shop, but before he had the chance to show off, he was hit hard.
Look, this is the brother who grew up with me wearing the same pants.
They don’t even rent out their employee dormitories, they just sell four fully furnished units of over 100 square meters.
What is arrogance.
That's it.
Actually, Chen Pingsheng is just doing this just in case.
Even if my hotpot restaurant doesn’t do well, I will make the money back from the staff dormitory.
Don't be too calculating, just don't say it explicitly.
So as not to affect the morale of the army.
