Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1106

Sha Yi nodded half-understood and said: "It seems to be such a truth!"

I smiled and said: "After the base is completed, not only will it be convenient for us to take photos, but we can also open some parts for people to visit. Once a certain scale has been formed, we will buy the remaining districts together to create the largest park in the Southwest. Come out from the film and television base!"

Sha Yi smiled foolishly: "Boss Chen is really ambitious!!"

I waved my hands and said, "This is just the first step. I will talk to you about the rest of the matter later. How about it? When can you liquidate your property? You can think about it. If you sell it Give it to me, and you're left with yourself!"

Sha Yi said with a smile: "Those industries will be negative assets in my hands immediately, why don't you help me revitalize them!"

I shook my head and said, "That's not helping you make money! That's my property!"

Sha Yi smiled and said, "It's all the same, it's all the same!"

In the next few days, I took a preliminary look at the properties under the name of Sha Yi. There were a total of 4 restaurants, one in Wuhan, one in Nanjing, one in Shenyang, and one in Chengdu.It's still a chain store, and they all serve quack dishes. The so-called quack dishes are a hodgepodge of everything.

There is also a training center and a fast food restaurant under his name, but the shares are only 40%, that is, some money has been invested.

Xie Feng has been wondering why I told Sha Yi about building a film and television base. This is a commercial secret. Once we fail to sign a contract with Sha Yi and the news gets out, the property owners may raise the price.

I curled my lips and said, "Come on, don't we have two houses anyway? In this way, the price of our villas has also increased. Isn't that a good thing?"

Xie Feng still asked in puzzlement: "But then we have to buy a few other villas at a high price!"

I smiled and said, "Who said I would buy it?"

Xie Feng groaned and said, "Didn't you say that?"

I cut my throat and said, "You'll believe me when I tell you? How can adults trust people so easily?"

Xie Feng was even more puzzled and said: "Then you don't want to buy it? Then why do you still ask the property manager? Give him a promise?"

I sighed and said: "You, you are only suitable to be a director and a producer. Let me ask what's wrong? What promise did you give him? I mean, if it's done, you can give it to him, but If the deal fails, don’t blame me!”

Only then did Xie Feng understand and said: "Oh, then you are just trying to raise the house price here? But we don't sell it, it's useless if it's too high!"

I asked back: "How do you know, we don't sell it? There is a good price, why don't you sell it?"

Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, and I explained again: "Our place is not suitable to be a film and television base at all, at least there must be a scenic spot or something, without mountains or water, we can only shoot some indoor dramas, and the place is too small Well, there’s not enough space for two crews to come in! How can this be considered a film and television base?”

Whether Xie Feng was really a lump of wood, he still didn't understand.

I explained patiently: "I said this to Sha Yi to let him have confidence in our company, so that when the time comes on the balance of negotiation, we will take the initiative, and his bit of property will not be able to sell for a good price." Give it to us!"

Xie Feng said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Chen, Sha Yi is quite kind. Is it appropriate for us to do this?"

I rolled his eyes at him, and said displeasedly: "Then you mean that I am not kind? Let me tell you what kindness is. If Sha Yi is kind, he should sell all his properties and lose money to his current The company, and then come to us for cooperation! But what about him? Why don’t we still ask us for his property, because he knows that his property is not worth much at all. If he doesn’t give it to us, I guess basically no one will wanted!"

Xie Feng said with an oh: "That's because I trust people too much!"

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Soldiers never tire of cheating! Don't think of people too simply! Although Sha Yi is an entertainer, his ability to manage himself is not low. His manager is just a decoration. No need, when you didn't watch what we were talking about, that agent couldn't speak at all, shouldn't it be the agent who usually speaks instead of the artist? He is such a strong-willed person, he doesn't need an agent at all!"

Xie Feng nodded and said, "It seems to be like this!"

I continued: "I really didn't think about buying a villa here, that's all I'm saying. I didn't even plan to build a film and television base here, but I said this, everyone has nothing to lose! Fake news got out, and the housing prices here have gone up, which is good for the property manager and us! Besides, Sha Yi, if he believes us, he will be even more determined to sign a contract with us. We have no intention of cheating him. We can As for his property, if I can revitalize it, I will revitalize it, if not, we should spend more money to hire him!"

Xie Feng nodded his head and said: "I've been taught, but you are more thoughtful!"

I laughed and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm old and cunning? I just thought of all the things that might happen! I looked at Sha Yi's industry, and the four restaurants are worth some money. The ones in Wuhan and Nanjing, I Give him 4 million, the other two in Shenyang are worth 400 million, as for the one in Chengdu, they are worthless at all, I don’t want to give him a penny!”

Xie Feng said aloud: "I've been there too! It's okay!"

I pursed my lips and said: "It's okay? You don't know that Sichuan people eat as much spicy food as they want besides hot pot! Jianghu dishes are made for foreigners, but when foreigners come to Sichuan, why not Eat Sichuan food? Eat your own hometown food? Also, do you know that this restaurant owes the landlord a year's rent?"

Xie Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

I snorted and said, "You don't know that there are many more! Sha Yi has kept these things a secret, and what's more, the two companies he has shares in are not only unable to realize cash, but also owe money!"

Xie Feng said in surprise: "Huh? Then he's not telling the truth! How can we cooperate?"

I said very easily: "Cooperate as much as you want! He can film, and he is relatively popular, and the popularity of the audience is not bad. This is his capital. However, if he wants to gain something from us Very possible!"

Xie Feng laughed and said: "I've learned the lesson. Brother Shi told me at that time that if you can take advantage of Mr. Chen, then you will be considered powerful."

I cut it and said, "Is this a compliment to me?"

Xie Feng hurriedly said: "It's a compliment, it's a compliment! Then what should we do next?"

I ordered: "There are a few things you need to do. One is the contract of his original company. You should take it over and read the terms clearly. I think there should be loopholes in it. We can study it again!"

Xie Feng hesitated and said: "I don't understand these things! Especially the contract law!"

I curled my lips and said, "How do you run a company? What else can you do besides filming?"

Xie Feng lowered his head and dared not speak.

I sighed and said, "You are the boss of a company. For things like filming, you just need to find a director. You want to make a company run. This is what you should do!"

Xie Feng hesitated and said: "I can't, I really can't! I'm actually a nerd who graduated from a film school. In the past few years, I have been in charge of filming and planning a few movies. Brother Shi can trust me and let me take care of it. The company, but I know my own business, I am that piece of material! How about this, Mr. Chen, find someone to replace me, and I will help him!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who do you want me to go to now? You know the company best. What's wrong? You can't speak at birth, so you don't want to be a human? If you don't know how to learn, you can manage the company." No, you still don’t know how to be a manager? For professional things, just find professionals to do it! You can follow along, but you can’t be ignorant! You have to change your thinking now, and stop worrying about those specific affairs Now, grasp the general direction. Needless to say, it's you! You are optimistic!"

After finishing speaking, I urged: "You have to settle the matter of Sha Yi's contract as soon as possible, and then you can find a matter to directly discuss the property under his name, and give me the lowest price. If he doesn't join our company for a day, he won't be himself for a day. People! When you really join the company, you are considered one of us! Don’t lose face, always try to be kind, don’t say ugly things in the front, and everyone will look even worse in the back! Business is like this, you come I'll go, he's much more elf than you!"

Xie Feng hummed and said, "Mr. Chen, I understand!"

After explaining to Xie Feng here, Guan Ze and I went to two other small joint-stock companies in Shayi. This education and training institution, with a capital injection of 50, is an English cram school. There are 14 teachers in the whole company, plus work. There are 34 personnel.There are quite a lot of people in the cram school, and it seems to be running well. I don't know why it loses money every year. Sha Yi's money just disappeared.

Their educational institution is in a children's palace, and they have rented the entire floor, which seems quite large.

There was an endorsement advertisement made by Sha Yi at the front desk, and it was posted in the center, which looked very conspicuous.

The lady at the front desk, thinking we were parents of students, notified a staff member who came over with a bunch of leaflets.

He led us into a small office and poured water for both of us graciously.

Then he asked me; "Are you two planning to give your children a tutoring class?"

I shook my head and said, "No!"

The staff immediately smiled and asked, "So you two want to learn English? We also have adult education courses here, but compared to children, the fees may be a little more expensive!"

I asked inexplicably, "Why are adult's more expensive than children's? We should all be more disciplined than children and be more diligent and studious, right?"

The staff smiled and said: "That's because adult education often has no foundation. We have to teach from scratch, which will be more difficult than children's education!
I groaned and said, "What about someone with a foundation like me?"

The staff froze for a moment, looked at me and asked, "Then what is your foundation?"

I saw a foreign teaching assistant walking in the corridor and said, "You tell him to come in, and you will know!"

The staff looked at me curiously again, then opened the door, and said a few words to the foreigner. The foreigner seemed reluctant, but he still couldn't persuade her, so he walked in.

After I briefly communicated with him, I frowned and asked the staff, "Are you sure he is your foreign teacher?"

The staff member nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"

I smiled helplessly.

After the foreign teacher walked out, I said: "Where did you hire the foreign teacher? What country are you from? English is not your mother tongue? What level of education?"

The staff found my question, asked something wrong, stood up and said, "I don't know much about this, so, wait a minute, I'll ask our principal to come over and talk to you directly!"

A middle-aged man in his 40s opened the door and walked in. He handed over his business card. I asked directly, "Are your foreign teachers screened? Or as long as they are foreigners?"

The principal was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

I snorted coldly and said, "That foreign teacher just now can't speak English as well as I do? Why are you teaching people here? Aren't you misleading your children? Even people who can speak English may not be able to speak English." Teach well, you also invite someone who can't speak English well to be a foreign teacher, aren't you deceiving consumers? Isn't it a bit too much?"

The principal hastily explained: "The ones you talked to just now were only the staff in our school, not those responsible for teaching. Our teaching is very professional and has teaching qualifications. Many teachers are still teaching in some famous schools! "

I said, "Really? I think you have quite a lot of students. Are you really good at teaching?"

The principal showed a look of pride and said: "That is, many students came to us to study from far away places, and they all improved very quickly. After tutoring here, many students' grades have improved by leaps and bounds! "

I pointed to the poster on the wall and said: "Aren't you here to promote the primary criterion for improving English proficiency? The improvement in grades does not mean that the English proficiency has improved! Not only does he encourage students to be able to write, but also to be able to speak! But With the level of the foreign teacher just now, how can the students communicate with him smoothly?"

The principal asked with some displeasure: "Are you here to study? We only have one class for adults here. You must sign up as soon as possible. I can assure you that you will pass the adult college entrance examination!"

I asked back, "What if I don't pass the exam?"

The principal replied; "If you fail the exam, you can take the exam next year. We will give you free tutoring until you pass the exam!"

I said disdainfully: "At our age, time is the most precious thing. How can I have so much time!"
