National Tide 1980.

Chapter 1209 Adaptation

Ning Weimin understood that Shen Cun disliked the lack of shares.

This was actually something he had expected, and of course he had talked about it.

But he also understands that if he agrees too simply, he will inevitably breed more desires.

Although he didn't hold back any bad thoughts, and he very much wanted to promote cooperation, he had to use some tricks.

What's more, his scheming is purely a conditioned reflex.

With his temperament, it would be difficult for him not to be scheming when it comes to business matters.

After thinking about it, he said, "Brother, I understand how you feel. Of course I can let you increase your investment and get more shares. But frankly speaking, in the first few years, this business was actually about trial and error. We The real goal is not how much money to make, but to develop as many skilled employees as possible while formulating a set of operational standards that suit us.”

"The chain fast food industry must expand. At least we must seize the market in first-tier cities. So in a few years, when I can take over, if the store operation has stabilized, expansion should follow, which means more To invest a huge amount of capital, I'm afraid it will take at least tens of millions. Even if you get more shares now, if the capital in your hand cannot keep up with the pace of enterprise development in a few years, it will mean that you will lose money. Will your shares be squeezed and become smaller? "

"But if we don't increase capital or expand, and our strength is not enough, we will lack scale effect and miss the opportunity to seize the market. That won't work either. What do you think? I believe my current proposal should be a more appropriate ratio. . In fact, this is the most cost-effective way for you. If you invest less in the future, you can see more. If you have the funds later, you can invest more. Wouldn’t that be better?”

When Shen Cun heard this, he suddenly felt that he had nowhere to use his energy.

In addition to admiring Ning Weimin's words, they were really powerful, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Wei Min. I have never seen you negotiate like this. I don't even talk about bargaining properly. There is no trick of the enemy advancing and me retreating. I just pour out everything I want to say. But also It doesn’t matter. This shows that you are sincere. I am also sincere. So I will propose an alternative plan to you. Do you think it will work? Is it possible to exchange the shares of my personal firm with you?

Shen Cun's new initiative surprised Ning Weimin.

"The shares in your personal firm? You mean... the architectural firm you are about to set up in mainland China?"

"Yes." Shen Cun nodded happily, "To tell you the truth, when I came back this time and saw the large-scale construction projects all over the capital, I was greatly touched. This old city is simply too big for people like us who are engaged in construction. It is a huge treasure house. Because there are so many places in this city that need to be renovated and upgraded, there are so many places that cannot be completely renovated and upgraded in the next few decades. I felt that it was the right time to accompany my mother back to my hometown.”

"Weimin, construction is very profitable. I don't know if you know about urban infrastructure and the real estate industry. In foreign countries, companies engaged in real estate and construction are the most profitable, because whether a city is developed or not is the most direct reflection. Just at the architectural level. And there is no doubt that having the most conspicuous, modern, and beautiful landmark buildings or architectural clusters in their cities is the goal that every policymaker is pursuing. , is actually the most willing to spend money. So what I want to say is, believe me, my office is definitely a good investment that is not inferior to your fast food chain."

"Since you are not short of funds, do you think this is a good idea? In addition to investing 1.5 million yuan in your fast food chain, I will also use part of my architectural firm's shares to further develop our relationship with you. Exchange the shares of fast food. I expect to invest 3 to 4 million yuan to open a design office in Beijing. So 40% of the shares will be equivalent to 1.5 million yuan. See if I can exchange it for more. My 15% share in fast food? In this way, both of us will hold shares in each other, and we will cooperate more closely and feel more at ease."

This time it was Ning Weimin's turn to find out.

When he heard Shen Cun's condition, he immediately beamed with joy. This time he really couldn't control it.

For no other reason than because he is not optimistic about the future of the domestic real estate industry, but is unswervingly and strongly optimistic about it.

Only people like him who have traveled through time know that the era of commercial housing is coming and how high housing prices in first-tier cities across the country will rise in the future.

He can even think further than Shen Cun.

Out of speculative instinct, before he met Shen Cun, he had already imagined how he would get involved in real estate development in the 1990s.

I have been thinking about how to get into this industry that creates wealth the fastest and will become one of the national economic engines in the future.

Now that I know Shen Cun, this is undoubtedly an extra helping hand.

It would certainly be better if you could participate in his design office and become one of the shareholders.

For Ning Weimin, it was like finding a crutch that could help him move forward.

It can perfectly solve the shortcomings of being involved in the new field of real estate industry, not understanding professional technical indicators, and being easily deceived by construction parties.

Are you unhappy about this?

Not to mention that this is indeed a promising industry, and it is impossible for Shen Cun's design office not to make money.

Although it is not as healthy as the fast food industry, it is completely a cash cow.

However, the nature of the industry dictates that if it does not open for three years, it will take three years for it to open. As long as it can find projects, Shen Cun's design office will produce astonishing profits.

But Ning Weimin was actually the least worried about this aspect.

Even if his connections are of little use, he at least plans to build a few rent-collecting buildings in the unformed CBD area in the future.

Just think of it as saving yourself money, and it's worth it.

Of course, having said that, maybe that's why.

Shen Cuncai was willing to exchange 40% of the firm's shares for 15% of the fast food restaurant's shares.

This man is also very clear about things, and he has calculated his gains and losses.

It was probably because of Tuning Weimin's connections in the capital and the tangible profits he could see and touch every day in the fast food industry that he took the initiative to propose such a condition.

Yes, anyway, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, so be it.

Ning Weimin readily agreed, "Okay, that's it. I agree with this proposal, I think it's okay. I'll have someone type out the contract later. And without further ado, we have to take action immediately. Tomorrow, we'll sign After signing the contract, I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for consultation. I will pay for the upfront expenses of the fast food and the office. Now we have to obtain licenses for two companies at the same time. As for when I go to Japan, I won’t be able to take care of it. , but it’s all up to you. Brother, if you have any questions, we can only contact you by phone and fax.”

"No problem. Here in the capital, except for the formalities, which I am a bit confused about, I can handle everything else with no problem."

Shen Cun was also very pleased, he agreed generously, and couldn't help but praise Ning Weimin.

"Weimin, you are so happy to do things. You confirmed it in just a few words, so neatly that I couldn't believe it. I originally thought you still wanted to think about it. Who knew you would actually..." Ning Weimin couldn't help but interrupt. tease him.

"Haha, this is probably because the eldest brother has stayed abroad for too long, and there are too many profiteers among the people he comes into contact with. I'm not telling you, Americans are actually the most dishonest in business, and those foreign devils like to be crooked. Intestines. And they also like to give righteous reasons to any unfairness that benefits them. So if I suddenly tell you, something is wrong with you, right?

Shen Cun was stunned by what he said, and then admitted it frankly.

"Don't say it, it seems to be true. You have a first-class pulse."

…………

In addition to the business and entertainment in the company, besides discussing the cooperation between the two of them with Shen Cun.

During the period after the New Year, there was actually one more thing that was crucial to Ning Weimin.

That is to visit Huo Yanping.

On February 1987, 2, the first day of the Lantern Festival, Ning Weimin was finally summoned and met with the chief director again in Huo Yanping's courtyard.

It can be considered that I am stuck at the last node, so I wish this chief director a happy new year.

The conversation between the two was still so pleasant at the beginning. Director Huo was generally very satisfied with the situation Ning Weimin had created in Japan.

In particular, he was not eager for quick success. After getting the "Dream of Red Mansions" TV series, he hastily sold it to Japanese TV stations.

Instead, a lot of money and effort were spent on hiring Japanese scholars overseas to polish the lines more delicately.

This fully reflects his sense of responsibility for traditional culture.

But this time, in order to allow "Li Xianglan" to be successfully released in China, she obtained a legal "birth certificate."

After Ning Weimin took the initiative to mention to Huo Yanping that he invited Teresa Deng to sing the theme song of the movie, he was still shocked.

"Weimin, I have to criticize you this time. You are too careless in some aspects. How did you come up with such an idea? Isn't this just looking for trouble? I really can't help you with this..."

"Boss, I'm doing this just to free ride and try to expand my external influence as much as possible. She actually agreed to help promote the movie. As a diva who just won two major awards in Japan, her career is at its peak now. No one can It cannot be denied that she is the number one Chinese singer. All of this is for the anti-fascist cause..."

"Don't say it so nice. You become hypocritical and look even more philistine..."

"Okay, I admit, it's just to use her fame for publicity, and also hope to attract her fans to support her, so as to increase the overseas box office of this movie and make more money."

"You are a good person in every respect, but you are blind to money and you are a money animal. Am I wrong?"

"No, no, you have a sharp eye and your criticisms are to the point. I can't hide in front of you..."

"Okay, I am not the Sun Wukong played by a six-year-old boy. I am too lazy to surrender to monsters like you who get into the eyes of money..."

"Haha, the leader also watches "Journey to the West". Monsters like me are actually beneficial and harmless, and I can do some good things for the country and the people. Just like the current domestic film recession, all studios have no money to make movies. How many people have nothing to do. I facilitated this kind of joint filmmaking opportunity, which not only allows Japanese society to reflect on the war and more clearly understand the crimes they have committed, but also allows major film studios to start working and alleviate the country's insecurities. Don’t bear the burden. Only when the cinemas show high-quality films can they have money to pay to the state to provide bonuses to employees. Can you tell me that this is not to support national construction? Besides, when I came back this time, I donated money to the Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau. There are more than twenty pieces of bronzes and calligraphy and paintings. I always make money to do meaningful things..."

"You, stop bragging. According to you, the country has to give you an award. Thank you, right? You, it's useless no matter how fancy you talk. I advise you not to waste your efforts on me and find someone else as soon as possible. Record another song to replace it..."

"No, leader, what's the matter? Among the people, "Don't Pick Wild Flowers on the Roadside", "Sweet Honey", and "I Only Care About You" have long been circulated. Now even the canteen at the entrance of our alley, Xiu Everyone in the car stalls is listening. Besides, if I do this, I will lose face in front of my fiancée..."

"Fiancée? Do you have a girlfriend?" Ning Weimin's last words completely caught Huo Yanping's attention.

"Hey, if nothing else happens, I might get married this year."

Looking at Huo Yanping's expression, Ning Weimin knew that he had an unusual interest in this matter, so he took the initiative to give a detailed explanation honestly.

In fact, this matter is the focus of today.

Ning Weimin wanted to invite Huo Yanping to his wedding, but he was afraid that his cross-border marriage would encounter any resistance. He also considered that Huo Yanping might have complicated emotions because of Huo Xin.

In short, any reason is enough to make him cautious.

Fortunately, Huo Yanping still fully respects the autonomy of marriage, even though he learned that Ning Weimin's marriage partner turned out to be a Japanese star, and happened to be Matsumoto Keiko, the star of the movie "Li Xianglan".

But he was surprised, and perhaps dissatisfied, but he did not comment on this.

Instead, he expressed his blessings, changed his attitude towards Ning Weimin's request, and agreed to go to the relevant departments for him.

He also agreed to Ning Weimin's further request, saying that when he gets married, he will definitely attend the ceremony to congratulate him.

Ning Weimin breathed a sigh of relief. After visiting the house today, he finally felt calm and stable.

You know, because of his important position, Huo Yanping now has great official power.

Although I was still close to him, the topic was not as casual as before.

And because of the heavy burden, when Huo Yanping saw him now, even if he asked for a meal, he would insist on not drinking.

Ning Weimin couldn't use wine to adjust the atmosphere, and was very worried about the outcome of this meeting.

At least now, it's over.
