Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 152 The Greatest Crisis Arrives

After agreeing on the price, Cheng Yi brought Zhong Ming to Huang Wenrong's office and began to discuss the payment method and transfer time.

After everything was discussed, Huang Wenrong escorted Zhong Ming out of the office and asked doubtfully, "Boss Cheng, we don't need to increase our real estate investment right now, right?"

Cheng Yi chuckled and said, "How can this be called an investment? This is called making money."

"Money?" Huang Wenrong was stunned.

Cheng Yi asked: "How much is the most expensive land in the commercial street per square meter?"

"The most expensive location should be the shops at the intersection of the commercial street, which cost about 1500 per square meter," Huang Wenrong replied.

"Our current average price is 680. How much do you think you can borrow if you ask Guo Yongli for a mortgage loan?" Cheng Yi asked.

Huang Wenrong immediately understood what Cheng Yi meant. He said, "If we want to borrow money, we should at least pay 1500."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "That's right, that's 10 million. The rent from the lease can just cover the interest on the loan, which is equivalent to getting a loan of more than 5 million for free."

This method was very common in the past. For companies with good credit, banks only required collateral that was apparently acceptable.

The garages of many high-quality real estate companies are filled with all kinds of luxury cars, even if some of these cars are damaged in water, some have been involved in accidents, and some are too old.

But as long as these real estate companies are high-quality enough and their annual profits can exceed the loan interest, banks can all provide them with mortgage loans at 80% of the original car price and will not calculate the residual value of the vehicle at all.

"Besides, we really need a stable office location." Cheng Yi sighed, "After all, I'm still a student and I have to stay here for four years."

“…” Huang Wenrong was silent.

If Cheng Yi hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that Cheng Yi was still a college student about to enroll.

In the afternoon, applicants for the field sales positions arrived one after another.

After the last crisis of Honor Computer's recruitment, Cheng Yi learned his lesson this time. In the job notice, he asked these people to come and submit their resumes with one-inch photos attached, and then asked them to go back and wait for news.

In just one day, we received more than 300 resumes.

In the evening, after Cheng Yi finished his meal, he squatted in his room to screen the resumes. His screening threshold was very low, just as Ali Ma said in an interview that year: As long as the person was not crippled or dumb, we would accept him.

Of course, the lame man and the dumb man are just jokes. Field sales staff are salesmen, and there are certain review standards.

First look at the face, second look at the age, third look at the hair.

Those with handsome faces will not be accepted, those over 23 years old will not be accepted, and those with hair that is not black will not be accepted.

People with handsome faces are more likely to have special requests from customers. It is okay if female customers make requests, but the most feared thing is if male customers make requests.

As for age, the older people are, the harder it is to brainwash them, especially when they are over 35. All the promises you make will expire and grow mold. In their eyes, you who are crazy about brainwashing are just a fool.

As for hair, it is purely personal preference. Cheng Yi likes black.

After screening these resumes, a total of 121 people were shortlisted.

Looking at the photos on the resume, Cheng Yi felt a lot of emotions in his heart. These young people with young faces will be a sharp weapon for him to expand his territory in the future.

What they have to do is to enter an unfamiliar district or county, then open a small Internet cafe with only 10 computers in this district or county, then collect information about the same industry in the district or county, and stay there until support from the main force arrives.

Only one person is left in each district or county, and he alone will be responsible for handling any problems that may arise.

This is the Internet cafe elite training program developed by Cheng Yi. He once used this method to build a roaring team.

In fact, any training and learning is not as good as letting them go out and gain real experience. Only experience can make people grow quickly!
At nightfall, Cheng Yi sent them employment invitation letters one by one through their reserved email, QQ and landline, asking them to come at 10 am the next day to complete the employment procedures.

After finishing all this, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

He stood up and stretched, then skillfully took out a pair of new stockings from the box. He walked over to Lin Qingyin and said, "You, have you been sitting there all day? You're so disobedient."

After saying that, he lifted up Lin Qingyin's legs...

The next morning, Cheng Yi had just agreed on the decoration requirements with the decoration team when Guo Yongli called.

Cheng Yi answered the phone and said with a smile: "President Guo, I was just about to call you. Haha, isn't this telepathy?"

"Boss Cheng, please don't be so confused yet." Guo Yongli said excitedly, "A big shot has arrived and has gathered many internet cafe owners from Jingzhou. Vice President Liu wants you to meet him as well."

"Big shot?" Cheng Yi was stunned and asked, "What big shot?"

"Have you heard of Lianjiang Group?" Guo Yongli asked.

"Lianjiang Group?" Cheng Yi was stunned. How come Cao Cao appeared as soon as he mentioned him?
The Lianjiang Group originated from Lianjiang County, Haizhou City. It is the enterprise group with the largest cash flow in Haizhou City, Fuhai Province, without a doubt.

As early as the 40s, they almost monopolized 4% of the domestic video game arcades. Among the county's more than people, more than were engaged in the video game arcade industry, accounting for one-tenth of the county's population.

After the Internet cafe industry was born, they quickly entered the Internet cafe industry. Most of the Internet cafes in many large cities in the south are owned by Lianjiang Group.

Especially in 2007, they defeated the Dongfang Wangyu Group in Zhonghai City with a crushing attitude and entered Zhonghai City with great strength. Until 2008, among the 2140 Internet cafes in Zhonghai City, almost 1800 belonged to Lianjiang Group. The annual revenue of Internet cafes in Zhonghai City alone reached more than billion.

With the terrifying cash flow from the arcade, Lianjiang Group’s Internet cafes are characterized by two words: bold!
From the decoration to the computers, almost all of them are the best in the local area. An Internet cafe with 1400 computers can spend millions on decoration alone.

It was a financial crushing force that could make the opponent despair. Any individual Internet cafe would feel a deep sense of powerlessness when facing the Lianjiang Group. It was a pity that they entered the Internet cafe industry just to make quick money and had not considered more profit-making methods for Internet cafes.

"Are they coming to Jingzhou City?" Cheng Yi's heart sank.

"Yes, Vice President Liu thinks this may affect you, so he wants to invite you to go and listen. You just need to listen and don't cause any trouble." Guo Yongli advised.

"I understand." Cheng Yi nodded.

He is now a major client of Handong Commercial Bank, and Liu Neng is probably also worried that the income of Momo Internet Cafe will be affected.

"The one coming this time is the prince of Lianjiang Group, named Chen Zhi. He was born in 81 and should be no more than two years older than you." Guo Yongli said.

Chen Zhi? Cheng Yi took a deep breath.

What the hell, it’s only been over a month since the start, how come we’re already facing the big boss?

Chen Zhi's family is extremely powerful in Lianjiang County, and Chen Zhi himself is also a business genius. After the Internet cafe industry gradually declined in 2009, he withdrew from the Lianjiang Group in a high-profile manner and turned to overseas real estate. Relying on the huge cash flow from the video game industry and the Internet cafe industry, he quickly rose overseas and built a real estate empire overseas that is not inferior to Country Garden.

If Lianjiang Group entered Jingzhou City at this moment, he would have no choice but to confront it head-on.

However, does he have the strength to fight head-on? Cheng Yi couldn't help but think of a plot in a TV series.

Liu Huaqiang, no, it’s Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi patted his head and said: Even if I give you a chance, you are useless.

Cheng Yi returned to the room, quickly changed into a suit in front of Lin Qingyin, and hurried out of the room in Lin Qingyin's astonished gaze.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yi took Guo Yongli's car to the Handong Hotel.

At the entrance of Handong Hotel, he saw many familiar faces. Liu Neng and Ren Hui were both present, as well as many well-known Internet cafe owners in Jingzhou City.

"Boss Cheng, this way." Liu Neng waved to Cheng Yi, who immediately ran over and said with a smile, "Why did President Liu come here in person?"

Liu Neng laughed and said, "What's that? Look over there, Vice President Tian from the provincial bank has come here in person. If this prince is willing to deposit a little money in our bank, then I won't have to worry about my performance in the next few years."

"Mr. Cheng." Ren Hui also smiled and nodded at Cheng Yi with a very good attitude.

Cheng Yi smiled back at Ren Hui and said, "If Lianjiang Group really settles in Jingzhou City, you and Mr. Li will be the biggest beneficiaries, right?"

Ren Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I'm just a small computer parts wholesaler. How can I possibly reach that level? Forget me, I guess Mr. Li can't reach them either. Mr. Li is only an A-level agent of Lianxiang Group and isn't qualified to take on such a large order. This time, he was representing Mr. Jiang, the Handong Province regional manager of Lianxiang Group, to meet Mr. Chen."

As they were talking, several luxury cars drove into the Handong Hotel.

There were two Mercedes-Benzes leading the way in front, followed closely by a white extended Lincoln, and behind the extended Lincoln were two more Mercedes-Benzes.

This grand spectacle was enough to shock the entire crowd. Five cars slowly stopped in front of the Handong Hotel. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a dignified demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out of the hotel quickly with a group of people.

The middle-aged man is not handsome, but he has a unique temperament.

He walked down the red carpet and came to the side of the stretched Lincoln.

At this time, several bodyguards got out of the Hutouben and opened the door of the stretched Lincoln.

The first thing that came out was a pair of white leather shoes made of unknown leather but definitely very expensive. Then, the owner of the white leather shoes got out of the car.

This was a young man full of vigor and vitality, wearing a neat white suit without a wrinkle. He had a stern expression, sharp eyes, and a small mustache to pretend to be mature.

The whole person gives people the feeling of refinement.

It is a kind of refinement that comes from the bones, without the slightest affectation, making people look very natural.

He is the prince of Lianjiang Group, Chen Zhi!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Zhi, and no one noticed Li Baoliang walking out of the Mercedes-Benz behind with a grim expression.

Chen Zhi smiled at the elegant middle-aged man and said in a friendly manner, "How can a junior like me feel comfortable letting Uncle Su come to greet us personally?"

Is he Su Duo's father Su Boyu?
Cheng Yi couldn't help but look at the elegant middle-aged man a few more times.

Su Boyu looks very handsome, and Su Duo seems to have inherited Su Boyu's handsomeness, but a little too much.

Su Boyu laughed and said, "That's not true. When I first started my business, Chairman Chen was very kind to me."

Chen Zhi smiled implicitly, exchanged a few words with Su Boyu, and then walked into the Handong Hotel.

He ignored everyone around him. Even when Vice President Tian of the Provincial Bank of China personally handed him a business card, it was taken by the bodyguard beside Chen Zhi.

"What a grand style." Cheng Yi said.

This style and high-spirited spirit are almost catching up with Dong Ge who returned home in glory in his previous life.

"Mr. Cheng, please be careful with your words." Guo Yongli was startled and nudged Cheng Yi.

Only after Chen Zhi entered the hotel did everyone follow him in hurriedly.

In order to receive Chen Zhi, Su Boyu made an exception and opened the reception hall that only provincial and municipal government affairs associations were qualified to use.

The standard of the reception hall is completely in line with the highest standard in Yanjing City. The twelve-meter high lobby and the nearly one thousand square meters of room are enough to make anyone who enters with a low aura feel inferior.

In such a big room, people look so small.

Chen Zhi walked into the reception hall and sat calmly on sofa seat number one.

At this time, no one dared to sit at sofa seat number two, which was adjacent to sofa seat number one.

After all, there are many bigwigs with similar status among the people present, such as Wang Weitao, executive vice president of Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce, Tian Qifan, vice president of the provincial state bank, and Liu Neng, vice president of Handong Commercial Bank Head Office, etc.

Chen Zhi didn't care who would sit in the second seat. He frowned slightly and said, "Where's Li Baoliang?"

"I'm here." Li Baoliang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up and ran to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi was sitting and Li Baoliang was standing.

Chen Zhi's hand played with the cup filled with fine Pu'er tea on the table. He said, "You were in charge of picking me up at the airport today. What do you say about making me wait on the side of the road for five minutes?"

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. The first car took the wrong road and was delayed for some time." Li Baoliang's voice was trembling.

"I don't blame you for the special circumstances. I won't mention this matter for now." Chen Zhi smiled and lifted up the corner of his clothes. He saw a small stain on the white corner of his clothes.

"These five cars you found are all wedding cars, right?" Chen Zhi asked.

"All of them are business cars." Li Baoliang swallowed.

Cheng Yi looked at Li Baoliang from afar. He never thought that Li Baoliang, who was so proud and awesome, would be so humble.

"Business car?" Chen Zhi said calmly, "Shouldn't you clean the car before picking me up? Or is it that I, Chen Zhi, don't deserve a clean car?"

"Mr. Chen, this is my negligence. I received the information about the airport pick-up a little late, so on these details..."

"puff!"

Chen Zhi directly poured the tea in the cup onto Li Baoliang's face.

Li Baoliang didn't wipe the tea off his face, but just stood there without saying a word.

Chen Zhi stood up and said coldly, "Our Lianjiang Group buys tens of thousands of computers from you every year. Don't you think I'm not even getting a little bit of preferential treatment? How dare you, a small Jingzhou agent, receive me?"

Li Baoliang finally understood why Chen Zhi was angry. The person responsible for this reception should have been Jiang Hong, the regional manager of Lianxiang Group in Handong Province, but Jiang Hong was unable to catch the plane due to special reasons, so Li Baoliang had to be responsible for the reception.

In Chen Zhi's opinion, this undoubtedly lowered the reception standards.

"Li Baoliang is so unlucky to have suffered such an unexpected disaster." Many people sitting in the back couldn't help but whisper to each other.

However, in Cheng Yi's view, all this has another meaning.

He knew how high Chen Zhi would reach in the future. A person who could reach such a height would never lose his temper in front of so many business owners because of a small mistake in the reception.

Apart from the issue of reception negligence, there is another greater possibility.

Chen Zhi wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Li Baoliang has a very high status in the IT industry in Jingzhou City. Especially in the eyes of many Internet cafe owners, Li Baoliang is a big boss.

Chen Zhi humiliated Li Baoliang in front of everyone, which indirectly proved his strength.

Information is very closed in this era, and many identities need to be shouted out in person, otherwise no one will know who you are.

Even in a small street in Causeway Bay, Chen Haonan would say "I am the boss of Causeway Bay" every day. Shan Ji and his friends were blocked on the court by a group of punks because they couldn't understand this truth.

Liwei!

Sure enough, after Chen Zhi splashed water on Li Baoliang, his attention shifted away from Li Baoliang.

He looked around at everyone and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was a bit rude just now. Our Chen family started out in the video game industry, so we are not elegant people. Haha, so I am not afraid of embarrassing myself."

Chen Zhi pulled out a tissue and wiped the tea that had spilled on him. He smiled as he wiped it, "I came here for one reason. Our Lianjiang Group plans to enter the internet cafe industry in Jingzhou City and Yantai City, so I wanted to give you a heads-up and ask you to prepare some money in advance, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

Madness!

How arrogant!

Although many Internet cafe owners present had already guessed the purpose of Chen Zhi's visit, their faces turned ugly when they heard Chen Zhi say it directly.

Chen Zhi smiled and said, "Of course, this industry has such a huge pie that we can't possibly eat it all up. Our Lianjiang Group has seven internet cafe sub-brands. You can choose any brand to join and just pay a certain monthly service fee to our headquarters. If you don't agree, you can also choose to develop in the districts and counties. Our Lianjiang Group only operates in second-tier and higher cities. We don't care about those poor and backward districts and counties."

Chen Zhi's arrogant words made Cheng Yi understand the current operating model of Lianjiang Group.

Now, Lianjiang Internet cafes still use the old model of video game arcades, quickly setting up, grabbing territory, and charging service fees.

He previously thought that the reason why the Internet cafe system did not appear was due to the lack of intervention from big capital. Now it seems that his guess is very different.

The Internet cafe system did not appear because these Internet cafe groups classified the Internet cafe industry into the video game field and did not closely link the Internet cafe industry with the Internet industry.

In this era where you can make money by filling a sack to open an Internet cafe, no one really thinks about deeper things.

If you think about it, you can still use a sack to carry money. If you don't think about it, you can still use a sack to carry money. Why think about it? Are you bored?
Chen Zhi is indeed arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant.

Whether it was him splashing water on Li Baoliang or his words just now, they brought a strong visual impact to the Internet cafe practitioners present.

　There will be two updates in the next three days, each with 5,000 words. The word count remains the same as before, and there will still be 10,000 words updated every day!
