Reborn since 2005

Yan Xin had lunch at Cai's house that day and did not leave in the afternoon. Instead, he chatted with Cai Qixiang all afternoon.

Of course, they all talked about topics related to the company's development.

Overall, Cai Qixiang talked more specifically, talking about details.

What Yan Xin talked about was more macroscopic.

It talks about the impact of economic trends, international situations, etc. on the real estate industry.

He talked about these things mainly because he didn't know the details.

I just learned some things from Cai Qixiang. I can use these things to fool laymen like Master Cui, but I can't fool insiders.

His advantage is that he has lived an extra life, knows the general development trend in the future, and can always be correct, even for industry bosses like Cai Qixiang.

Ai Lili was very busy during this period and spent very little time chatting with him on QQ. He didn't know much about the development of the real estate company.

Moreover, Ai Lili is currently busy with a newly started project in Yangcheng. She is almost devoted to that project and lacks understanding of other projects.

However, as the chairman of the company, Cai Qixiang is still very clear about the company's development.

He told Yan Xin about the company's current projects and its development plans for the future.

Yan Xin just pointed out the way for the company's future development, telling them that the front was safe and they could make great strides forward.

He actually didn’t know exactly how it should be developed, so he didn’t make any more remarks.

Those specific plans must be done by professionals.

Young Master Cui also played some role here - his family background gave him a certain understanding of the development plans of some cities here, and he could give a more specific scope.

This allows the company to obtain relatively high profits at relatively low costs.

Now the company's plate has become very big, so big that Yan Xin feels a little frightened.

Without a backer like Master Cui, if there was a problem with the capital chain at this scale, it would be enough to bankrupt them all, and it might even bring about jail time.

But having said that, without a backer like Master Cui, they wouldn't be able to get such a big deal - at least in terms of bank loans, they wouldn't be able to get so many loans.

Fengxiang Real Estate Company's house in Fengcheng has almost been sold, and it is not that important whether to sell the remaining ones.

Therefore, they are now preparing to move the company headquarters to Yangcheng.

The office over there has been selected and the decoration has been completed. We are just waiting to choose a suitable day to move there.

Some people here are a little dissatisfied with the company's relocation, but they don't have many local assets anymore, so they can only be dissatisfied.

Young Master Cui also supports the company's relocation - moving the company's headquarters to Yangcheng, a super first-tier city, is obviously more suitable than placing it in a town.

With his support, even if others are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do.

Speaking of this matter, Cai Qixiang was quite happy.

From his expression, Yan Xin knew one thing - Mrs. Cai, who had become a vegetative state, would soon no longer be qualified to be a vegetative state.

They did not discuss this matter directly, after all, it was not something that could be brought to the forefront.

What was discussed more was the relocation of the headquarters.

Cai Qixiang said that he also bought a villa in Yangcheng, which cost him tens of millions, not far from the new company headquarters.

After a few months, you can move there.

He also invited Yan Xin to be a guest at that time.

Of course Yan Xin readily agreed.

The villa he lives in now will not be sold, but one of his cousins ​​will move in and take care of the house in the future.

That cousin had a son who was a nephew that he valued more, and he almost adopted that nephew.

I also hope that my nephew can assist his grandson in the future, so I want to give others the benefits.

Cai Qixiang also asked Yan Xin something: "I heard that you also invested in a food delivery company in Yangcheng and said that the performance was very good. Do you think that thing is really successful?"

Yan Xin smiled: "What, uncle, do you want to invest in it too?"

Cai Qixiang smiled and said: "If it is very promising and you are short of funds now, I can also invest some money in it."

Fengxiang Real Estate Company is now heavily in debt and will not even think about paying dividends for at least five years.

But for such a big company, it is possible to find ways to squeeze out some money.

He personally doesn't think that food delivery can have a big market. He simply thinks that Yan Xin will not invest in such an industry for no reason. He should do so because he has chosen a certain point.

If it is an industry with great prospects and can accept investment, he would like to invest some money in it.

It doesn’t matter if you lose.

What if I could get up?
  Just doing real estate, the ability to resist risks is still a bit poor.

When talking to Yan Xin about the future prospects of real estate, Yan Xin always talks about the 10-year golden period.

As for 10 years from now, he didn't say whether it would be good or bad, but judging from his expression, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

At the beginning, he wanted to make friends with Yan Xin, but he felt that the prospects of the real estate industry were not so optimistic. If he wanted to transform, it would be best to transform into the Internet industry.

Yan Xin already had a relatively successful website at that time.

He himself was not familiar with that industry, so his idea was to find a guide who was familiar with that industry to enter it, and Yan Xin was the person he chose.

——Yan Xin chose to befriend him for the same reason. He wanted to enter the real estate industry, but without a qualified guide, he could only endure his nausea and find someone he disliked as a partner.

The current situation is that Yan Xin used Cai Qixiang's springboard to successfully enter the real estate industry.

Cai Qixiang has not yet entered the Internet industry through Yan Xin's springboard.

He hopes that Shiyu Company will be an opportunity.

Yan Xin hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth:

"As for money, this new company is really short of money. I gave 500 million yuan in start-up capital at the beginning. Now that the company has been established for more than two months, most of the 500 million yuan in start-up capital has been spent, and I have spent the rest. I guess it won’t last a month.”

Cai Qixiang was shocked: "Will you still lose money when delivering food? I heard that the company's food delivery business was quite good. Even if it lost money before, it should be able to make money now that the business has improved, right?" "We are currently expanding the market. In the process, you basically give away one order and lose money on the other, and there is no way you can make any money." Yan Xin said with a smile.

Cai Qixiang was silent for a while, and then asked: "What is the future market prospect? You shouldn't spend so much money to build a company that will lose money, right?"

"Of course not. I think if this company can get off the ground, it will be quite successful in the future," Yan Xin said. "A very important question now is whether we can sell this company before we burn all our money." The company was set up and formed a monopoly in major cities."

"Major cities?" Cai Qixiang was surprised again, "You are so ambitious! Do you want to start another company like Anye Home Decoration?"

He knew that Feng Chen's Anye Home Decoration Company was developing very well. They built a new house last year, and a lot of business went to this decoration company.

Now it is doing very well in Yangcheng and Pengcheng, and has become a leader in the decoration industry in those two super first-tier cities.

They are not only engaged in interior decoration, but also have upstream industries, including the production and sales of building materials.

The future development plan is definitely to develop in major cities across the country.

It would be great if this food delivery company could do that.

Yan Xin smiled and shook his head: "The house may not be affordable for everyone, but everyone can afford to order takeout, and there is a huge demand for three meals a day. I think if it is done well, the market prospects will be great." Much better than Anye Home Decoration.”

Cai Qixiang's eyes lit up.

But Yan Xin added: "But to form a monopoly in all major cities, a lot of funds are needed. I don't know whether we can achieve this goal."

"Do you need so much money?" Cai Qixiang asked.

Yan Xin nodded: "It requires a lot of money. At the beginning of occupying the market, we must subsidize the money. Otherwise not many people will choose this kind of consumption. Only by cultivating their consumption habits can we slowly increase the service price. . It also needs to bring greater profits to those cooperative restaurants first, so that they become dependent on this platform, and then they can collect fees from them. The current Internet model is almost like this. If you want to make money, you have to burn money first. , to capture the market.”

Although Cai Qixiang has never been involved in the Internet, he has heard some stories about Internet entrepreneurship, and it was true that money was burned in the early stage.

I have been in the business world for so long, so I can figure out some things just by thinking about it.

So I figured it out very quickly.

If the investment is not large, he is willing to participate in the investment.

However, Yan Xin said that he would need a lot of funds in the future, and he was not very confident about whether he could monopolize the market, which made him hesitate.

I asked tentatively: "How much do you think it is necessary to invest?"

Yan Xin stretched out a finger.

Cai Qixiang thought to himself: "One hundred million? That's not much."

But I heard Yan Xin say: "Ten billion--I said it must be at least this level."

This number shocked Cai Qixiang, and he made a decision immediately - not to vote!

This Internet company is so scary!

But he was a little curious: "Can you raise so much money?"

He knew that Yan Xin was very rich now, but he also knew that he would never be this rich.

Some assets are only expected assets, and the actual wealth owned is not very much.

The money that can be taken out is even less.

Not to mention 100 billion, even if it is [-] million, you may not be able to get it without a bank loan.

"Earn slowly," Yan Xin said with a smile, "Then I hope the performance will be better, attract big investors to invest, and burn other people's money."

We still need outside investment, but we really can’t afford to start such a business just by burning our own money.

Moreover, it was a bit foolish for him and Xiao Shiyu to completely own a company with a monopoly in such an industry.

At that time, they still need to have the support of capital from a large background, and they will be able to take the lead.

If Cai Qixiang really wants to invest, of course he will not turn him away, but he does not need such investment much - because Cai Qixiang's capital is also grassroots capital, which will not be of much help to the development of his enterprise.

He also told Cai Qixiang about the company's current operating model, and made Cai Qixiang understand why it had such good performance and why it was losing money.

With such a model, the costs are so high and the fees are so low, it would be strange not to lose money.

He completely gave up the idea of ​​following up and asked again:

"Aren't you afraid that you will burn so much money that no one will take over, that you will be unable to continue, and that you will lose everything?"

This requires burning a lot of money, and it burns money very quickly. If there is no sponsor to continue burning the baton, it will really become a big problem.

Yan Xin smiled and said: "No one has taken over, which means that the potential of this industry has not been discovered by capital, which is a good thing. It allows me to develop slowly, so I don't have to burn money so fast. No need With the intervention of external capital, I believe that I can slowly occupy this market on my own. What I am worried about now is that the potential of this industry will be discovered by capital too early, and then they will invest in me when my foothold is unstable. Compete with me. Then I can only burn money with them. In this case, I definitely can’t rely on my own ability, and I must find big capital to help.”

Cai Qixiang probably understood his thinking.

Then he asked: "Can we find Cui Zhiren and ask him to join us?"

Yan Xin shook his head: "It's not necessary. He has already boarded our ship and is considered our backer. Joining us will not bring any additional benefits to me. And this guy doesn't have much money to spare." Burning, the price-performance ratio is not high. Even if I need to find a collaborator, I still need to find a new backer, and I need to be able to help me get funds, so it will be better."

Young Master Cui is enough as a backer, but as capital, it is seriously insufficient.

It's good that he can help get a bank loan, but there is a limit.

Fengxiang Real Estate Company also needs his help with loans.

If we also provide loans to Shiyu Company, Fengxiang Real Estate Company will be able to obtain fewer loans.

For Yan Xin, this is a serious waste of resources.

It would be better to find a new sponsor and backer.

A pair of hands needs to find a pair of gloves that suits them, and as gloves, they also want to find a pair of gloves that suits their hands.

This is also a question of two-way choice.

Of course Yan Xin hopes to choose a partner who can maximize his own interests.

Neither Cai Qixiang nor Cui Zhiren was among his considerations.
