Chapter 147
Chapter 147
On March 1961, 3, the dragon raised its head.
Suitable for: meeting relatives and friends, breaking ground, offering sacrifices, building construction, collecting money, opening a business, opening a business, opening a market.
It is a very auspicious day.
Early in the morning, Cao Zhihua took the luxuriously dressed Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Shen Jing, and Xiaoyu to the performance front of the Victoria's Secret Club down the mountain.
The scene was already busy in an orderly manner.
"Xueru, today's opening ceremony of the club has been prepared for so long. I have set up the stage for you. Today is your performance moment. Don't let everyone down."
Chen Xueru took a deep breath, and the confident expression on her face exuded a strong aura.
"Next, you finish the ribbon cutting, and the rest is up to me."
Cao Zhihua looked at Chen Xueru, who had a strong aura, with joy. He had really worked hard during this period.
"Well, it's your fault, I believe you."
After watching Chen Xueru and others enter the club to make final preparations, Li Shengnan and Zhang Guohua came to Cao Zhihua's side.
"Dr. Cao, what a big scene today."
Cao Zhihua looked at the eye-opening Li Shengnan and said:
"Well, the powerful and wealthy people in Hong Kong Island have gathered together. Today's scene is indeed rare. It is normal for the scene to be bigger. Brother Guohua, how is the security arrangement?"
Zhang Guohua quickly took out a piece of plan drawing, spread it out and said to Cao Zhihua:
"Director Cao, you see, this is the entrance to the club, and four security personnel have been arranged to check invitations and release personnel.
Eight security personnel are arranged on the parking apron, responsible for guiding the security and guidance of the parking lot. "
"Is there enough parking space for parking?"
Li Shengnan replied:
"There are enough parking spaces. When we started construction of the club, we communicated with the Hong Kong government and we funded the construction next to the club. The Hong Kong government provided the land and built a parking apron for 1200 cars at the same time. The ownership belongs to the Hong Kong government and we own it. Parking is free with the club membership card and parking coupon.”
Cao Zhihua nodded and motioned for Zhang Guohua to continue.
"Director Cao, you see, this is the front of the performance, and this is the gate of the club. I have arranged for 50 security personnel to patrol the two places for security."
After hearing this, Cao Zhihua looked around at the security personnel wearing blue security uniforms with the word "security" on their arms, carrying AK47s, and patrolling everywhere. He nodded and said:
"Very good, how will the rest of the staff be arranged?"
"The remaining 20 people are divided into two groups to form a mobile support team. The remaining 20 people are responsible for the high points of the entire club and the weak defense areas of the entire club to ensure that no irrelevant people will appear at the venue."
Cao Zhihua was very satisfied with Zhang Guohua's on-site security arrangements. He had considered all aspects. Suddenly Zhou Biao came over and said:
"Director Cao, Director Lou is here."
Cao Zhihua said happily:
"Come on, let's go to meet you."
Cao Zhihua walked to the parking lot with a large group of people. From a distance, he saw Lou Bancheng and a large group of people walking over.
"Dad, mom, three aunts, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, it's so early."
Lou Bancheng looked at Cao Zhihua with relief and said:
"It's such a big happy event today, so naturally come early to see if there's anything you need help with."
Cao Zhihua led Lou Bancheng's family towards the club.
"Mom, three aunts and two sisters-in-law are here to sign in. You walk over on the red carpet and sign in first. Then you go to the club and take a rest."
"Ok."
The women of the Lou family signed in one after another and followed Cao Zhihua into the club. They were shocked speechless by the luxury of the club. They were all amazed. Cao Zhihua had no choice but to arrange for Lou Xiao'e to receive these women.
The eldest brother Lou Yunzhi and the second brother Lou Yunxiang also wanted to enter, so Cao Zhihua had to explain:
"Big brother, second brother, this club is a ladies club. From now on, we will only accept ladies, not gentlemen."
Lou Yunzhi and Lou Yunxiang saw how luxurious and magnificent the lobby of the club was, but their brother-in-law refused to let them in to visit, so they quit working.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean? You opened your business today, and we came to support you, but you didn't even let us in for a visit?"
Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng helplessly and felt that these two uncles were really stupid. On such an important occasion, they only cared about themselves and did not care about the occasion at all.
"Eldest brother, second brother, today's occasion is not appropriate. How about we find a chance to talk about it later?"
Lou Bancheng looked at his two unfulfilled sons, ignored them, and said directly:
"Come on, Zhihua, take me to see how the performance front area is being built outside."
"Okay, Dad, I have set up 50 tables over there and prepared tea and snacks for the guests attending the opening. Can I take you to the table first?"
"Okay, let's go."
After Lou Bancheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out without even looking at his two embarrassing sons.
After Lou Bancheng and his two uncles sat down and arranged for the waiter to serve tea and snacks, Cao Zhihua and Lou Bancheng said something and went to the club gate to greet the important guests.
"Uncle Shen, thank you very much for coming here today. Who is this???"
Shen Bi said happily:
"Zhihua, congratulations on the opening of the club. Come and introduce to you two young heroes, Li Chaoren and his cousin Ms. Zhuang."
"Superman, this is Zhihua, a rising star in Hong Kong, Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, one of my juniors, Zhihua, Superman is my friend for many years, you can move around more in the future."
Cao Zhihua's eyes flashed as he looked at the young superman, a model for future generations of businessmen, a classic walleye, and the boss who truly turned Hong Kong Island into the city of the Li family.
Although Superman is still very immature and his assets only include a plastic factory and a few industrial buildings, Cao Zhihua will not underestimate this person. People who can leave their names in history are never good people.
"Haha, Superman thanks you for your support. Welcome, welcome. You are Uncle Shen's friend, and that is my friend Zhihua. We can move around more in the future."
Superman looked honest and sincere, smiled honestly, and said politely:
"Hello, Director Cao, nice to meet you. I will need more care from Director Cao in the future."
"Haha, Superman is so polite. Among friends, you help me and I help you. The days are still long. Let's move around more in the future. Come on, Uncle Shen, Superman, please come over here."
Cao Zhihua walked to the door of the club and said:
"Uncle Shen, Superman, my club is the first high-end ladies club in Hong Kong. All the staff inside are women. From now on, we will only accept ladies. Ms. Zhuang, you can walk through the red carpet and sign in, then go to the club. Come visit, Uncle Shen and Superman, I have arranged a resting place in the front square of the club, how about we go and sit there?"
Shen Bi had heard Cao Zhihua talk about the situation in the club before, so he was not surprised and said:
"Okay, Zhihua, let's go to the venue first."
Cao Zhihua arranged for Shen Bi and Superman to stay in Louban City and had a conversation with Shen Bi. Suddenly, security personnel came to invite someone.Cao Zhihua said helplessly:
"Uncle Shen, Superman, Dad, you guys want to talk first. I still have something to do here. Please forgive me if I didn't receive you well."
Everyone understood and left Cao Zhihua busy.
"Detective Lan, thank you for your support. This is Madam-in-law. Come on, please come this way."
"Danaya, welcome, thank you for your support, come on, come on, let's first visit the club I carefully built."
"Mr. Qi Dezun, welcome, thank you for your support, come here, Uncle Shen has arrived, may I take you over to say hello?"
"Mr. Governor, welcome to your arrival. Your presence today really makes me shine."
"Mr. Cao is committed to investing in Hong Kong Island. As the governor of Hong Kong Island, I naturally give my full support,"
"Thank you, Governor, for your support. Hong Kong Island is getting better and better because of people like you who are upright, dedicated to their duties, kind and noble."
"Hahaha, of course there is no shortage of capitalists like Mr. Cao who love Hong Kong, protect Hong Kong and invest in Hong Kong Island. Only by working together can we make Hong Kong Island have a better tomorrow."
"If you want the train to run fast, you have to rely on the engine belt. The Governor is our engine. Whether we run fast or not depends on the Governor's leadership."
The Governor of Hong Kong was very happy, patted Cao Zhihua on the shoulder and said:
"Very good, very good. This is the role model for the younger generation of Hong Kong Island and the future of Hong Kong Island."
Cao Zhihua humbly introduced the Hong Kong Governor to the venue and sat down. After chatting with him for a while, he continued to greet the guests.
"Mr. Director, welcome. You are here in person. I am really flattering. Come on, please come this way."
"Mr. Cao is a major taxpayer in our Hong Kong Island. It's okay not to support you."
"This is all inseparable from your support. Without your support, I would not be able to do such a big business. The Governor of Hong Kong is inside, do you think I will lead you in and take a seat?"
"Okay, you are very busy today, so you don't need to accompany me. Go and get busy."
Cao Zhihua was busy greeting the big and small people in Hong Kong Island.
There were also exclamations in the clubhouse.
All the ladies and ladies are fascinated by the club's various incredible services such as women's clothing, manicure, makeup, whitening, underwear, etc., and can't wait to experience it in person.
But today is the opening, and there are so many guests. People are entering the club every moment.
These ladies and ladies are very sensible in public places. They know that today's club is too busy just to introduce everyone today, and it is impossible to provide services to everyone.
But for the clothing section and sexy underwear section, thousands of sets of clothes were ordered at once.
Beautiful things are really popular.
The opening ceremony was successfully hosted by Cao Zhihua and Chen Xueru, both internally and externally.
The superstar's performance in the afternoon was a climax. It was the first time for Cao Zhihua to see thousands of people singing together in such a long time.
The people invited to the club today are all the upper-class people in Hong Kong. Being able to speak eagle language is a basic requirement. Elvis Presley and Ray Charles are the hottest superstars in Europe and the United States. Their songs are very popular among this group of upper-class people. of.
As the most popular actress in Hong Kong, Xia Meng naturally received the invitation. Now she and her good sister Zheng Peipei were strolling around the manicure and makeup area. It seemed that she loved manicure and makeup very much.
"Sister Xia Meng, let's go to the clothing area to book a few sets of clothes first? I really like the lolita suit and suspender dress series."
Although Xia Meng is very popular, she usually keeps herself to herself and has never even attended a dinner party. Naturally, her income is not high. She said hesitantly:
"It's too expensive. This piece of clothing costs 2000 Hong Kong dollars, not counting socks and shoes. If I buy one, I'll be in trouble. How can I afford it?"
14-year-old Zheng Peipei grew up in a wealthy family and was cared for by a nanny since she was a child. Naturally, she didn't have much idea about money. Seeing that Sister Xia Meng refused to buy clothes, she seemed a little frustrated.
Seeing his little sister's sad look, Xia Meng smiled and touched her head and said:
"You are really my little aunt. Come on, you and I will go take a look."
Zheng Peipei cheered happily:
"Sister Xia Meng is so nice."
The club was already crowded, and Xia Meng led Zheng Peipei to the clothing area cautiously.
There are many ladies in the club, many of whom know Xia Meng, but in the eyes of these people, Xia Meng is just an actor, and they will not help her or anything.
The two women finally squeezed into the clothing area, and Zheng Peipei happily stood in line among a large group of ladies and ladies.
Sometimes I really have to admire women. Normally it takes a lot of effort to twist the cap of a water bottle, but now I have to wait in line for an hour and I don’t feel tired.Finally it was Zheng Peipei’s turn, and Zheng Peipei said happily:
"Hello, I want one of this and one of this."
The waiter Xiao Ling did not treat Zheng Peipei any differently because she was younger. She said with a graceful manner and a friendly attitude:
"Miss, is this the lolita wedding series and suspender dress series?"
Zheng Peipei nodded repeatedly and said
"Yes, yes, just these two."
"Miss, what size do you need?"
When Zheng Peipei heard this, she was a little dumbfounded. Her nanny usually bought her clothes, so she looked at Xiao Ling bitterly and said:
“Sister, I don’t know what size I’m wearing, what should I do?”
Xiao Ling said kindly:
"Miss, it's okay. We can tailor it for you on the spot. Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, great." Zheng Peipei said overjoyed.
After Xiao Ling measured Zheng Peipei's size, she continued:
"Miss, the lolita wedding set you bought is best paired with white pantyhose or suspender lace stockings, white patterned stockings, and these transparent stiletto high heels? Such a set is complete and will match your... Good looks can shock everyone when you wear them.”
Zheng Peipei bit her finger, pointed at the suspender dress and said,
"Then how do you match this?"
Xiao Ling said:
"It's best to pair this with black pantyhose or flesh-colored pantyhose. Of course, black stockings or flesh-colored suspenders are also acceptable. Look at my outfit, which is paired with flesh-colored pantyhose and red stiletto heels."
Zheng Peipei took a step back and took a closer look at Xiao Ling's clothes from top to bottom. They were fashionable, sexy, and beautiful, as well as the stockings on her legs. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought they were bare legs. They were just smooth and made people unconsciously think Touch.
After exhaling, Zheng Peipei said:
"Sister, help me get a pair of transparent stiletto heels and a pair of white stiletto heels, a pair of suspender lace stockings, a pair of black stockings, a pair of flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of white patterned stockings."
After Xiao Ling heard what Zheng Peipei said, she wrote down the details of what Zheng Peipei needed to buy on the list, handed it to Zheng Peipei to look at, and said
"Miss, please see if these are the items you want. If so, please sign."
Zheng Peipei took the order and confirmed that there was no problem. She signed and handed it to Xiao Ling and said:
"No problem, I've signed it."
After Xiao Ling signed her name, she tore off the sheet, handed it to Zheng Peipei and said:
"Miss, after you take this order and go to the cashier to pay the money, you can wait for us to deliver your clothes to your door."
Zheng Peipei saw that everyone was doing this, so she didn't think much, took the order and walked to the cashier.
"The lolita wedding suit is 2000 yuan, the suspender dress series is 1000 yuan, the four pairs of stockings total 800 yuan, and the two pairs of stiletto heels total 1200 yuan. Hello, Miss, the total is 5000 yuan in Hong Kong paper."
Zheng Peipei took out 5000 yuan of Hong Kong paper from her bag and handed it to the cashier. After counting the money, the cashier stamped the order and opened a note. Miss, please fill in your harvest address. We will Your baby will be delivered to your home as soon as possible.
After Zheng Peipei wrote her family's boycott on the note, the cashier stamped the note, handed it to Zheng Peipei and said:
"Miss, please remember to keep this note. When we deliver the goods to your home, we need to take out this note so that our delivery person can hand over the baby to you."
Although Zheng Peipei was curious about this scene, she answered honestly:
"Okay, I'll keep it."
After Zheng Peipei carefully put the note into her bag, she held Xia Meng's hand and said:
"Sister Xia Meng, let's go to the restaurant to have something to eat. We're a little hungry."
Xia Meng looked at Zheng Peipei in surprise and said:
"Didn't you eat so much at noon? Why are you so hungry?"
Zheng Peipei made an expression like wiping sweat with her hands and said:
"Hey, Sister Xia Meng, wasn't I nervous? I felt relieved when I suddenly relaxed."
Xia Meng looked like he couldn't stand you, and took Zheng Peipei to the club restaurant. The restaurant was also crowded with people. Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei had no choice but to hold two buffet trays, and each took some cakes and snacks. , and other snacks, I poured a cup of black tea and walked to the beach to eat while looking at the sea view.Zheng Peipei's mouth was bulging after eating, but she still couldn't stop her mouth and said:
"There are really too many people today, but this club is really great, especially the dim sum here, which is so delicious."
Xia Meng ate the delicious food, nodded with praise and said:
"It's really good. Even the scenery here is so beautiful, but it's too expensive."
When Zheng Peipei saw Sister Xia Meng saying she was expensive again, Zou Zou said with eyebrows:
"Sister Xia Meng, have you seen the display board at the front desk?"
Xia Meng said sadly:
"See, if you don't have a membership card in the future, you won't be able to get in here."
"Also, all the guests opening this time can apply for membership cards. It will not be easy to apply for membership cards in the future. It requires the recommendation of two members. You can't get in just by having money."
Xia Meng complained in her heart. Although Xia Meng was the first to visit Victoria's Secret Club, she really liked it here.
I like the exquisiteness here, the luxury here, the grandeur here, and all the projects here that serve women.
What I like the most is the garden and the terrace restaurant of this club. Not only are the scenery beautiful, the food and wine are delicious, but you can also swim in the sea at any time. This club really meets everything a woman could ask for.
But Xia Meng can only regret it. Although she is the most popular actress in Hong Kong, the actresses of this era are just actresses. They are richer than ordinary people, but they can never satisfy the luxury here. I really hate why I was so noble back then. Don't accept meals from those rich and powerful men.
Zheng Peipei obviously didn't notice anything strange about Xia Meng. Seeing that Xia Meng didn't speak, she thought she was frightened by the membership fee, so she said:
"Sister Xia Meng, we must apply for a membership card. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to apply for a membership card in the future. I still have 2.2 Hong Kong paper. We can each apply for a silver membership first.
Sister Xia Meng, if you don’t have enough money, I can lend you 1 to apply for a card first, and you can pay me back later when you have money. "
After Xia Meng came back to her senses, she saw her little sister being so kind to her and said happily:
"Well, we went to apply for a membership card after we had something to eat, but Sister Xia Meng can still get the 1 yuan, so there is no need to ask Peipei to borrow it."
Zheng Peipei was very happy when she heard that Xia Meng was willing to apply for a membership card. From now on, she can come here to have afternoon tea with her sister Xia Meng.
"That's great, Sister Xia Meng, we can come here to have afternoon tea together if nothing happens in the future."
When Xia Meng heard this, his eyes were filled with longing and he said:
"Yes, the environment here is so beautiful, and the afternoon tea is delicious. It is really a top-notch enjoyment."
The two women stood on the edge of the beach, finished their snacks, and went directly to apply for membership cards. When they saw, there were more than 200 people in front of them and they had to queue up again.
More than an hour later, Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei were very happy holding the silver membership cards in their hands.
"Sister Xia Meng, those people just said that gold membership cards are made of gold.
Platinum membership card is made of platinum.
Our silver membership card is only made of silver.
Oh, I really want to have a platinum membership card. I heard that members with platinum membership cards have all priority rights in the club and don’t have to queue for anything. This is great. "
After hearing this, Xia Meng rolled his eyes and said:
"What are you thinking about? The one-year membership fee for a platinum membership card is HK$10. Even if you kill us, you won't be able to get it.
If I hadn't really liked this club, I wouldn't have gritted my teeth and taken out the HK$[-] paper to apply for this silver membership card, wiping out all my savings over the years. "
Zheng Peipei looked at Xia Meng's expression of gnashing her teeth and was very funny. Her sister Xia Meng had always been dignified and elegant, and looked like a lady to everyone. It was really rare to see sister Xia Meng with such a rich expression.
By 9 o'clock in the evening, Cao Zhihua and the top management of Zhihua Group had been busy all day and finally sent all the guests away.
Cao Zhihua called everyone for a meeting.
Xueru, let’s first talk about the ladies’ feedback and various statistics about the club today.
Chen Xueru had been busy all day, and even her voice was a little hoarse. She said with a hoarse accent:
“Through the feedback from the waiters in various areas, although there were a lot of people today, our luxurious decoration, various unexpected services and the delicious food of the restaurant have received all kinds of praise and exclamation. No one in any area has said this. If the club is not good, overall the feedback is very good.
A total of 2568 ladies signed in today, which greatly exceeded our estimate.
What’s even more incredible is our membership card processing. A total of 2196 membership cards were processed today.
Among them, the maximum number of silver membership cards is 1531.
425 gold membership cards
240 platinum membership cards
As for the number of clothing and sexy underwear sold, we haven’t counted it yet. Everyone is too tired. I plan to count it tomorrow.”
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"The sales data can be compiled tomorrow. Once the statistics are completed, contact the buyer as soon as possible and deliver the goods. Don't ruin your reputation."
"Okay, Director Cao."
"Brother Guohua, the security of the club will be handed over to you from now on. You will be responsible for coordinating it."
Zhang Guohua sat upright and replied firmly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, the club will be divided into three shifts every day. Each shift will have a team of 10 people in charge. Each class will have a team leader to take temporary command to ensure the safety of the club."
Cao Zhihua nodded and said to Lou Xiao'e:
"Mr. Lou, remember to check with Xueru about the club's sales receipts tomorrow morning. Once you get them back, they will be produced with quality and quantity as soon as possible. Are there any problems?"
Although Lou Xiao'e has been helping today, she has not been assigned specific tasks, so she can be lazy at any time and is not as tired as others, so she said:
"No problem, Director Cao, we guarantee that we will produce it as soon as possible and ensure the quality and quantity."
Cao Zhihua nodded and asked Xiaoyu:
"Xiaoyu, how much money did the club receive in total today?"
Xiaoyu opened the account book and said:
"Director Cao, the finance department only counted the specific amount spent on membership cards. The club collected a total of HK$6056 million in membership card membership fees today.
The total revenue of the club today is HK$7224 million, so the amount of clothing sold is HK$1168 million."
Everyone gasped when they heard this amount. Was this a gold mine?Is this more profitable than robbing a bank?
Cao Zhihua was also shocked by the amount. Although he knew that women's money is the best, and he should be very profitable by opening the first high-end women's club in Hong Kong, but this was just the beginning, and he had already collected so much money. It was really scary, so he quickly ordered:
"Everyone sitting here is my most trustworthy and dearest person. I here solemnly hope that everyone will forget about the income of the club. No one is allowed to tell it. No one can say it, including Brother Guohua. sister in law."
Zhang Guohua saw Cao Zhihua nod him alone and knew what Cao Zhihua meant, so he hurriedly said:
"Dr. Cao, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Ah."
Cao Zhihua looked around again.
Li Shengnan and Chen Zhihong expressed their opinions one after another:
"Chairman, don't worry. Once I leave this door, I will forget everything and no one will tell me anything."
After Cao Zhihua saw everyone expressing their opinions, he nodded and said:
"It's getting late. Let's get over with the meeting and go back to rest early. Thank you for your hard work. Today's opening is very successful. Everyone sitting here will be given a big red envelope by the company."
Everyone was overjoyed. Cao Zhihua generally said that the amount of a big red envelope would not be small. Everyone withdrew after saying this, saying:
"Chairman, you have worked so hard. You should go to bed early."
"Dr. Cao, you have had the hardest time today. Go back and rest early. Let's leave first."
"Chairman, go back and rest early. Let's leave first."
After Cao Zhihua watched everyone leave, he also took his three women home.
After arriving home, Shen Jing went to the bathtub to fill the water. Lou Xiao'e helped Cao Zhihua take off his clothes. Chen Xueru was really tired today and fell down on the recliner without moving.
Lou Xiao'e suddenly said:
"Zhihua, do you think they will disclose the income of our club?"
Having made so much money today, the funds for the subsequent development of Zhihua Group were all solved. Cao Zhihua was excited. When he heard Lou Xiao'e's words, he smiled indifferently and said:
"I just don't want competition to appear soon, so I ask everyone not to say anything. Even if someone does say it, it won't have much impact on us. It just so happens that we can also find out who is reliable and who is unreliable. fine."
After hearing what Cao Zhihua said, Lou Xiaoe breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was shocked when she heard such a large sum of money, fearing that others would be in trouble if they found out. However, Cao Zhihua said it was okay, and in Lou Xiaoe's heart, it was really okay.
So Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue from Cao Zhihua, and said:
"Hey, I thought it was serious. I was so nervous just now that I didn't dare to speak."
Cao Zhihua couldn't stand Lou Xiao'e's cute look the most. After a while, he said:
"Our club now has a first-mover advantage. As long as we provide good service, build a good reputation, and improve the stickiness of our members, it will be difficult for others to shake us in the future. If others compete with us, it will definitely not work if we invest less. If we invest more, it will not work. It’s also difficult to get our members to come over, so don’t worry too much.”
Cao, whom Lou Xiaoe admired, looked at Cao Zhihua and said:
"Well, Zhihua is the best. Zhihua is the most powerful man in the world."
Cao Zhihua chuckled and said:
"Since I know that I am the most powerful man, why don't you give me a bath? It will be time to choose my outfit later."
Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e were both dumbfounded and said:
"Zhihua, you are so tired today, why are you still here? Can't you take a rest for the night?"
Cao Zhihua refused ruthlessly:
"No, it definitely won't work. Our family's population is too small now. We need to increase the family's population quickly. I can only work hard on you."
Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e rolled their eyes and were speechless when they heard Cao Zhihua's lame excuse.
After a happy night, Cao Zhihua looked at the two paralyzed women, closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.
Without warning, Victoria's Secret Club suddenly spread among the upper class of Hong Kong Island. Its luxurious venues, five-star services, high-end clothing, and various magical items specially created for women make people forget to leave. The scenery has been passed down by Hong Kong's upper class as the most luxurious place for Hong Kong women to enjoy, and has become the capital for Hong Kong's noble ladies to show off.
For a time, various trustees recommended, and there was an endless stream of women applying for Victoria's Secret Club membership cards.
Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei are the beneficiaries. According to the wealth ranking of the club, both women are not eligible for invitations.
However, Xia Meng's fame allowed her to get invitations and membership cards, allowing the two of them to come to the club frequently to enjoy the best afternoon tea in Hong Kong Island. They became Hong Kong socialites in one fell swoop and successfully gained the envy of women in the entire cultural circle. Jealousy and hate.
But Xia Meng didn't care at all, because she rarely had social interactions with these people.
However, the manicure and makeup that Xia Meng has always wanted to do have not been queued up.
Yes, Victoria's Secret is so popular now. Nowadays, whitening, manicure, and makeup are basically reserved for platinum cardholders, and gold and silver members can't even be booked.
Since ancient times, people like to form cliques when there are many people, and women are no exception.
The members of the club gradually began to divide into countless small circles.
The most influential ones are naturally the white-skinned ladies and socialites of Great Eagle Country. These people love sexy lingerie, French waist dress series and Lolita wedding suit series the most.
The most sought-after new sexy lingerie styles that appear from time to time are the most popular. Once they appear, 1-20 pieces are purchased.
Of course, the spa area in the club is also their favorite. These white-skinned people have no other skills and are definitely good at enjoying it.
Next are the ladies and ladies from the four oldest Chinese families and some low-key wealthy families.
This group of people are more interested in afternoon tea, manicures, makeup, new cheongsam series suits, movie rooms and spas.
However, it is inevitable for women to compete and compete for beauty together.
That's why many platinum card guys come out and bring a group of little sisters to play together, otherwise they would be easily bullied in the club.
The club gradually began to become the vanity fair of Hong Kong Island.
Chen Xueru, Shen Jing, and Chen Zhihong firmly followed the route arranged by Cao Zhihua. All members interacted equally, but did not interfere in their private affairs.
If any member needs help, they will help connect them, regardless of whether it succeeds or not. However, the proprietress of the club is willing to help everyone, and gradually gains the favor of the members.
After all, everyone may need help sometimes. Now in the club, as long as you ask the club owner, she will be willing to help you connect. Naturally, everyone is willing to give face.
Since the opening of the club, Zhihua Group has collected nearly [-] million in funds at one time, and Cao Zhihua will naturally not let it earn interest in the bank.
Speeding up the construction of foreign clothing channels.
Now that the club is on the right track, the heads of departments within the Zhihua Group are doing very well. Cao Zhihua's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is becoming more and more relaxed.
"Chairman, Mr. Li asked me to inform you that everyone is here and you can go to the conference room for the meeting."
Cao Zhihua stood up, walked to Du Xinru, kissed Du Xinru, and said:
"Okay, my sweet secretary, let's go."
Du Xinru smiled sweetly at Cao Zhihua and followed Cao Zhihua to the conference room.
After Cao Zhihua saw Li Shengnan, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Xiaoyu, Xie Wenjun, and Zhang Guohua all arriving, he began to say:
"Before the meeting started, a personnel appointment was announced. After research by the board of directors, it was finally decided that Li Shengnan, general manager of Zhihua Real Estate, would be transferred from his current position and assume the position of general manager of Zhihua Group."
Seeing Li Shengnan's promotion, everyone applauded.
Cao Zhihua waited for everyone to finish applauding and then continued:
"Xie Wenjun, the former engineering department manager of Zhihua Real Estate, was transferred from his current position and assumed the position of general manager of Zhihua Real Estate."
After another round of applause, Cao Zhihua continued:
"The engineering department manager of Zhihua Real Estate was nominated by Mr. Xie, and Mr. Li and I made the decision after an inspection. These two personnel decisions were accepted. After the meeting, it was initiated by the General Manager Office, and I signed and sealed it and officially announced it to the entire group. The two CEOs will take office immediately."
"clap clap"
After everyone applauded, Cao Zhihua started today's meeting topics
"There is only one topic in today's meeting, which is the official launch of global sales of our Victoria's Secret apparel. Now, please talk to Mr. Li about the specific situation and implementation plan."
Li Shengnan was already familiar with handling such meetings. He stood up and bowed before saying:
"Dear Chairman Cao, various colleagues, after more than a month of site selection and decoration, as of yesterday, all 24 flagship display stores around the world have been decorated.
Since we have sufficient funds, copies of the video samples for TV commercials and print ads have been brought back to the headquarters and have been finalized after confirmation by the chairman and me.
Our Victoria’s Secret apparel global unified slogan is:
Victoria's Secret, a woman's treasure and a man's favorite.
Moreover, our personnel recruitment and training are also completed in advance.Our only requirement for employees in our flagship store is that all employees must wear our own clothes to work, and our market inspectors can take photos and describe them. Our company's marketing specialists have done a very good job on this.
So now we have the conditions for unified global opening. "
Cao Zhihua actually knows everything, so he only brought a pair of ears with him today and does not intend to speak in today's meeting.
After seeing Li Shengnan finish speaking, Chen Xueru said:
"Mr. Li, how much inventory does the global sales company have? The company has invested so much money in promotion. What if there is not enough inventory by then and the market misses the peak sales period?"
After listening to Chen Xueru's question, Li Shengnan answered directly:
"We have prepared 200 million sets of inventory for global sales this time, and another 50 pairs of stockings. There is no problem in meeting the strong sales period during the opening.
As for the subsequent expansion of franchise stores and the increase in product sales, the company has also considered it.
We require that the daily sales amount of all flagship stores must be deposited into the bank on the same day, and for this global sales, we have specifically asked Citibank and HSBC to provide us with financial support to ensure the safety of our funds.
As soon as the first funds enter the account, we will start a new production line and start recruiting workers to increase production. "
Lou Xiaoe asked:
"Is the new production line enough? Why not install the production line now, and then just recruit people to expand production, so as not to be too busy and overwhelmed."
Li Shengnan said:
"This is considered from the perspective of saving the company's costs and reducing the company's risks. Although we all hope to sell well and are optimistic that our products will sell well,
But don’t be afraid of anything, just be afraid of [-]. We don’t need a few days to avoid recruiting people and having nothing to do, and we will be in great trouble. "
Lou Xiao'e nodded and agreed with Li Shengnan's statement.
While listening to the heated discussion, Cao Zhihua raised questions one by one and solved them one by one. The efficiency was very good, so he was thinking about setting up an information department to collect information from all aspects, and setting up a think tank to help him improve. details to reduce the risk of company decision-making.
After everyone had finished the discussion, Li Shengnan gave everyone a unified decision: now that everything is ready, sales must start.
The time was set on the auspicious day of April 1961, 4, which was the day after tomorrow. It was officially launched at 25 a.m. Hong Kong Island time.
Advertising took the lead. TV commercials and print advertisements started bombarding in advance and lasted for a month to support the sales of flagship stores around the clock. Flagship stores that could not open due to time differences were launched early in the morning.
After listening to Li Shengnan's final summary report, Cao Zhihua nodded and recognized everyone's collective decision-making, but added at the end,
"Mr. Li, I have no problem with anything else. Just do it according to your ideas. I only care about the final result.
But for the new production line, you can consider arranging for people to install it first. I am still very confident about the sales of our products. Let’s install the production line first. If our products are sold out, you can quickly recruit people to expand production. "
Although Cao Zhihua said he would consider it himself, Li Shengnan knew Cao Zhihua too well, so he immediately expressed his position and said:
"Okay, Chairman, which production lines do you think is more suitable?"
After thinking for a while, Cao Zhihua said:
"First install it at five times the size of the existing stockings and sexy lingerie production lines. Then we will decide on the number of people to recruit based on the situation."
Li Shengnan quickly wrote it down and said:
"Okay, Chairman."
"The meeting"
(End of this chapter)
On March 1961, 3, the dragon raised its head.
Suitable for: meeting relatives and friends, breaking ground, offering sacrifices, building construction, collecting money, opening a business, opening a business, opening a market.
It is a very auspicious day.
Early in the morning, Cao Zhihua took the luxuriously dressed Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Shen Jing, and Xiaoyu to the performance front of the Victoria's Secret Club down the mountain.
The scene was already busy in an orderly manner.
"Xueru, today's opening ceremony of the club has been prepared for so long. I have set up the stage for you. Today is your performance moment. Don't let everyone down."
Chen Xueru took a deep breath, and the confident expression on her face exuded a strong aura.
"Next, you finish the ribbon cutting, and the rest is up to me."
Cao Zhihua looked at Chen Xueru, who had a strong aura, with joy. He had really worked hard during this period.
"Well, it's your fault, I believe you."
After watching Chen Xueru and others enter the club to make final preparations, Li Shengnan and Zhang Guohua came to Cao Zhihua's side.
"Dr. Cao, what a big scene today."
Cao Zhihua looked at the eye-opening Li Shengnan and said:
"Well, the powerful and wealthy people in Hong Kong Island have gathered together. Today's scene is indeed rare. It is normal for the scene to be bigger. Brother Guohua, how is the security arrangement?"
Zhang Guohua quickly took out a piece of plan drawing, spread it out and said to Cao Zhihua:
"Director Cao, you see, this is the entrance to the club, and four security personnel have been arranged to check invitations and release personnel.
Eight security personnel are arranged on the parking apron, responsible for guiding the security and guidance of the parking lot. "
"Is there enough parking space for parking?"
Li Shengnan replied:
"There are enough parking spaces. When we started construction of the club, we communicated with the Hong Kong government and we funded the construction next to the club. The Hong Kong government provided the land and built a parking apron for 1200 cars at the same time. The ownership belongs to the Hong Kong government and we own it. Parking is free with the club membership card and parking coupon.”
Cao Zhihua nodded and motioned for Zhang Guohua to continue.
"Director Cao, you see, this is the front of the performance, and this is the gate of the club. I have arranged for 50 security personnel to patrol the two places for security."
After hearing this, Cao Zhihua looked around at the security personnel wearing blue security uniforms with the word "security" on their arms, carrying AK47s, and patrolling everywhere. He nodded and said:
"Very good, how will the rest of the staff be arranged?"
"The remaining 20 people are divided into two groups to form a mobile support team. The remaining 20 people are responsible for the high points of the entire club and the weak defense areas of the entire club to ensure that no irrelevant people will appear at the venue."
Cao Zhihua was very satisfied with Zhang Guohua's on-site security arrangements. He had considered all aspects. Suddenly Zhou Biao came over and said:
"Director Cao, Director Lou is here."
Cao Zhihua said happily:
"Come on, let's go to meet you."
Cao Zhihua walked to the parking lot with a large group of people. From a distance, he saw Lou Bancheng and a large group of people walking over.
"Dad, mom, three aunts, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, it's so early."
Lou Bancheng looked at Cao Zhihua with relief and said:
"It's such a big happy event today, so naturally come early to see if there's anything you need help with."
Cao Zhihua led Lou Bancheng's family towards the club.
"Mom, three aunts and two sisters-in-law are here to sign in. You walk over on the red carpet and sign in first. Then you go to the club and take a rest."
"Ok."
The women of the Lou family signed in one after another and followed Cao Zhihua into the club. They were shocked speechless by the luxury of the club. They were all amazed. Cao Zhihua had no choice but to arrange for Lou Xiao'e to receive these women.
The eldest brother Lou Yunzhi and the second brother Lou Yunxiang also wanted to enter, so Cao Zhihua had to explain:
"Big brother, second brother, this club is a ladies club. From now on, we will only accept ladies, not gentlemen."
Lou Yunzhi and Lou Yunxiang saw how luxurious and magnificent the lobby of the club was, but their brother-in-law refused to let them in to visit, so they quit working.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean? You opened your business today, and we came to support you, but you didn't even let us in for a visit?"
Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng helplessly and felt that these two uncles were really stupid. On such an important occasion, they only cared about themselves and did not care about the occasion at all.
"Eldest brother, second brother, today's occasion is not appropriate. How about we find a chance to talk about it later?"
Lou Bancheng looked at his two unfulfilled sons, ignored them, and said directly:
"Come on, Zhihua, take me to see how the performance front area is being built outside."
"Okay, Dad, I have set up 50 tables over there and prepared tea and snacks for the guests attending the opening. Can I take you to the table first?"
"Okay, let's go."
After Lou Bancheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out without even looking at his two embarrassing sons.
After Lou Bancheng and his two uncles sat down and arranged for the waiter to serve tea and snacks, Cao Zhihua and Lou Bancheng said something and went to the club gate to greet the important guests.
"Uncle Shen, thank you very much for coming here today. Who is this???"
Shen Bi said happily:
"Zhihua, congratulations on the opening of the club. Come and introduce to you two young heroes, Li Chaoren and his cousin Ms. Zhuang."
"Superman, this is Zhihua, a rising star in Hong Kong, Lou Bancheng's son-in-law, one of my juniors, Zhihua, Superman is my friend for many years, you can move around more in the future."
Cao Zhihua's eyes flashed as he looked at the young superman, a model for future generations of businessmen, a classic walleye, and the boss who truly turned Hong Kong Island into the city of the Li family.
Although Superman is still very immature and his assets only include a plastic factory and a few industrial buildings, Cao Zhihua will not underestimate this person. People who can leave their names in history are never good people.
"Haha, Superman thanks you for your support. Welcome, welcome. You are Uncle Shen's friend, and that is my friend Zhihua. We can move around more in the future."
Superman looked honest and sincere, smiled honestly, and said politely:
"Hello, Director Cao, nice to meet you. I will need more care from Director Cao in the future."
"Haha, Superman is so polite. Among friends, you help me and I help you. The days are still long. Let's move around more in the future. Come on, Uncle Shen, Superman, please come over here."
Cao Zhihua walked to the door of the club and said:
"Uncle Shen, Superman, my club is the first high-end ladies club in Hong Kong. All the staff inside are women. From now on, we will only accept ladies. Ms. Zhuang, you can walk through the red carpet and sign in, then go to the club. Come visit, Uncle Shen and Superman, I have arranged a resting place in the front square of the club, how about we go and sit there?"
Shen Bi had heard Cao Zhihua talk about the situation in the club before, so he was not surprised and said:
"Okay, Zhihua, let's go to the venue first."
Cao Zhihua arranged for Shen Bi and Superman to stay in Louban City and had a conversation with Shen Bi. Suddenly, security personnel came to invite someone.Cao Zhihua said helplessly:
"Uncle Shen, Superman, Dad, you guys want to talk first. I still have something to do here. Please forgive me if I didn't receive you well."
Everyone understood and left Cao Zhihua busy.
"Detective Lan, thank you for your support. This is Madam-in-law. Come on, please come this way."
"Danaya, welcome, thank you for your support, come on, come on, let's first visit the club I carefully built."
"Mr. Qi Dezun, welcome, thank you for your support, come here, Uncle Shen has arrived, may I take you over to say hello?"
"Mr. Governor, welcome to your arrival. Your presence today really makes me shine."
"Mr. Cao is committed to investing in Hong Kong Island. As the governor of Hong Kong Island, I naturally give my full support,"
"Thank you, Governor, for your support. Hong Kong Island is getting better and better because of people like you who are upright, dedicated to their duties, kind and noble."
"Hahaha, of course there is no shortage of capitalists like Mr. Cao who love Hong Kong, protect Hong Kong and invest in Hong Kong Island. Only by working together can we make Hong Kong Island have a better tomorrow."
"If you want the train to run fast, you have to rely on the engine belt. The Governor is our engine. Whether we run fast or not depends on the Governor's leadership."
The Governor of Hong Kong was very happy, patted Cao Zhihua on the shoulder and said:
"Very good, very good. This is the role model for the younger generation of Hong Kong Island and the future of Hong Kong Island."
Cao Zhihua humbly introduced the Hong Kong Governor to the venue and sat down. After chatting with him for a while, he continued to greet the guests.
"Mr. Director, welcome. You are here in person. I am really flattering. Come on, please come this way."
"Mr. Cao is a major taxpayer in our Hong Kong Island. It's okay not to support you."
"This is all inseparable from your support. Without your support, I would not be able to do such a big business. The Governor of Hong Kong is inside, do you think I will lead you in and take a seat?"
"Okay, you are very busy today, so you don't need to accompany me. Go and get busy."
Cao Zhihua was busy greeting the big and small people in Hong Kong Island.
There were also exclamations in the clubhouse.
All the ladies and ladies are fascinated by the club's various incredible services such as women's clothing, manicure, makeup, whitening, underwear, etc., and can't wait to experience it in person.
But today is the opening, and there are so many guests. People are entering the club every moment.
These ladies and ladies are very sensible in public places. They know that today's club is too busy just to introduce everyone today, and it is impossible to provide services to everyone.
But for the clothing section and sexy underwear section, thousands of sets of clothes were ordered at once.
Beautiful things are really popular.
The opening ceremony was successfully hosted by Cao Zhihua and Chen Xueru, both internally and externally.
The superstar's performance in the afternoon was a climax. It was the first time for Cao Zhihua to see thousands of people singing together in such a long time.
The people invited to the club today are all the upper-class people in Hong Kong. Being able to speak eagle language is a basic requirement. Elvis Presley and Ray Charles are the hottest superstars in Europe and the United States. Their songs are very popular among this group of upper-class people. of.
As the most popular actress in Hong Kong, Xia Meng naturally received the invitation. Now she and her good sister Zheng Peipei were strolling around the manicure and makeup area. It seemed that she loved manicure and makeup very much.
"Sister Xia Meng, let's go to the clothing area to book a few sets of clothes first? I really like the lolita suit and suspender dress series."
Although Xia Meng is very popular, she usually keeps herself to herself and has never even attended a dinner party. Naturally, her income is not high. She said hesitantly:
"It's too expensive. This piece of clothing costs 2000 Hong Kong dollars, not counting socks and shoes. If I buy one, I'll be in trouble. How can I afford it?"
14-year-old Zheng Peipei grew up in a wealthy family and was cared for by a nanny since she was a child. Naturally, she didn't have much idea about money. Seeing that Sister Xia Meng refused to buy clothes, she seemed a little frustrated.
Seeing his little sister's sad look, Xia Meng smiled and touched her head and said:
"You are really my little aunt. Come on, you and I will go take a look."
Zheng Peipei cheered happily:
"Sister Xia Meng is so nice."
The club was already crowded, and Xia Meng led Zheng Peipei to the clothing area cautiously.
There are many ladies in the club, many of whom know Xia Meng, but in the eyes of these people, Xia Meng is just an actor, and they will not help her or anything.
The two women finally squeezed into the clothing area, and Zheng Peipei happily stood in line among a large group of ladies and ladies.
Sometimes I really have to admire women. Normally it takes a lot of effort to twist the cap of a water bottle, but now I have to wait in line for an hour and I don’t feel tired.Finally it was Zheng Peipei’s turn, and Zheng Peipei said happily:
"Hello, I want one of this and one of this."
The waiter Xiao Ling did not treat Zheng Peipei any differently because she was younger. She said with a graceful manner and a friendly attitude:
"Miss, is this the lolita wedding series and suspender dress series?"
Zheng Peipei nodded repeatedly and said
"Yes, yes, just these two."
"Miss, what size do you need?"
When Zheng Peipei heard this, she was a little dumbfounded. Her nanny usually bought her clothes, so she looked at Xiao Ling bitterly and said:
“Sister, I don’t know what size I’m wearing, what should I do?”
Xiao Ling said kindly:
"Miss, it's okay. We can tailor it for you on the spot. Do you want it?"
"Yes, yes, great." Zheng Peipei said overjoyed.
After Xiao Ling measured Zheng Peipei's size, she continued:
"Miss, the lolita wedding set you bought is best paired with white pantyhose or suspender lace stockings, white patterned stockings, and these transparent stiletto high heels? Such a set is complete and will match your... Good looks can shock everyone when you wear them.”
Zheng Peipei bit her finger, pointed at the suspender dress and said,
"Then how do you match this?"
Xiao Ling said:
"It's best to pair this with black pantyhose or flesh-colored pantyhose. Of course, black stockings or flesh-colored suspenders are also acceptable. Look at my outfit, which is paired with flesh-colored pantyhose and red stiletto heels."
Zheng Peipei took a step back and took a closer look at Xiao Ling's clothes from top to bottom. They were fashionable, sexy, and beautiful, as well as the stockings on her legs. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought they were bare legs. They were just smooth and made people unconsciously think Touch.
After exhaling, Zheng Peipei said:
"Sister, help me get a pair of transparent stiletto heels and a pair of white stiletto heels, a pair of suspender lace stockings, a pair of black stockings, a pair of flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of white patterned stockings."
After Xiao Ling heard what Zheng Peipei said, she wrote down the details of what Zheng Peipei needed to buy on the list, handed it to Zheng Peipei to look at, and said
"Miss, please see if these are the items you want. If so, please sign."
Zheng Peipei took the order and confirmed that there was no problem. She signed and handed it to Xiao Ling and said:
"No problem, I've signed it."
After Xiao Ling signed her name, she tore off the sheet, handed it to Zheng Peipei and said:
"Miss, after you take this order and go to the cashier to pay the money, you can wait for us to deliver your clothes to your door."
Zheng Peipei saw that everyone was doing this, so she didn't think much, took the order and walked to the cashier.
"The lolita wedding suit is 2000 yuan, the suspender dress series is 1000 yuan, the four pairs of stockings total 800 yuan, and the two pairs of stiletto heels total 1200 yuan. Hello, Miss, the total is 5000 yuan in Hong Kong paper."
Zheng Peipei took out 5000 yuan of Hong Kong paper from her bag and handed it to the cashier. After counting the money, the cashier stamped the order and opened a note. Miss, please fill in your harvest address. We will Your baby will be delivered to your home as soon as possible.
After Zheng Peipei wrote her family's boycott on the note, the cashier stamped the note, handed it to Zheng Peipei and said:
"Miss, please remember to keep this note. When we deliver the goods to your home, we need to take out this note so that our delivery person can hand over the baby to you."
Although Zheng Peipei was curious about this scene, she answered honestly:
"Okay, I'll keep it."
After Zheng Peipei carefully put the note into her bag, she held Xia Meng's hand and said:
"Sister Xia Meng, let's go to the restaurant to have something to eat. We're a little hungry."
Xia Meng looked at Zheng Peipei in surprise and said:
"Didn't you eat so much at noon? Why are you so hungry?"
Zheng Peipei made an expression like wiping sweat with her hands and said:
"Hey, Sister Xia Meng, wasn't I nervous? I felt relieved when I suddenly relaxed."
Xia Meng looked like he couldn't stand you, and took Zheng Peipei to the club restaurant. The restaurant was also crowded with people. Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei had no choice but to hold two buffet trays, and each took some cakes and snacks. , and other snacks, I poured a cup of black tea and walked to the beach to eat while looking at the sea view.Zheng Peipei's mouth was bulging after eating, but she still couldn't stop her mouth and said:
"There are really too many people today, but this club is really great, especially the dim sum here, which is so delicious."
Xia Meng ate the delicious food, nodded with praise and said:
"It's really good. Even the scenery here is so beautiful, but it's too expensive."
When Zheng Peipei saw Sister Xia Meng saying she was expensive again, Zou Zou said with eyebrows:
"Sister Xia Meng, have you seen the display board at the front desk?"
Xia Meng said sadly:
"See, if you don't have a membership card in the future, you won't be able to get in here."
"Also, all the guests opening this time can apply for membership cards. It will not be easy to apply for membership cards in the future. It requires the recommendation of two members. You can't get in just by having money."
Xia Meng complained in her heart. Although Xia Meng was the first to visit Victoria's Secret Club, she really liked it here.
I like the exquisiteness here, the luxury here, the grandeur here, and all the projects here that serve women.
What I like the most is the garden and the terrace restaurant of this club. Not only are the scenery beautiful, the food and wine are delicious, but you can also swim in the sea at any time. This club really meets everything a woman could ask for.
But Xia Meng can only regret it. Although she is the most popular actress in Hong Kong, the actresses of this era are just actresses. They are richer than ordinary people, but they can never satisfy the luxury here. I really hate why I was so noble back then. Don't accept meals from those rich and powerful men.
Zheng Peipei obviously didn't notice anything strange about Xia Meng. Seeing that Xia Meng didn't speak, she thought she was frightened by the membership fee, so she said:
"Sister Xia Meng, we must apply for a membership card. If we miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to apply for a membership card in the future. I still have 2.2 Hong Kong paper. We can each apply for a silver membership first.
Sister Xia Meng, if you don’t have enough money, I can lend you 1 to apply for a card first, and you can pay me back later when you have money. "
After Xia Meng came back to her senses, she saw her little sister being so kind to her and said happily:
"Well, we went to apply for a membership card after we had something to eat, but Sister Xia Meng can still get the 1 yuan, so there is no need to ask Peipei to borrow it."
Zheng Peipei was very happy when she heard that Xia Meng was willing to apply for a membership card. From now on, she can come here to have afternoon tea with her sister Xia Meng.
"That's great, Sister Xia Meng, we can come here to have afternoon tea together if nothing happens in the future."
When Xia Meng heard this, his eyes were filled with longing and he said:
"Yes, the environment here is so beautiful, and the afternoon tea is delicious. It is really a top-notch enjoyment."
The two women stood on the edge of the beach, finished their snacks, and went directly to apply for membership cards. When they saw, there were more than 200 people in front of them and they had to queue up again.
More than an hour later, Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei were very happy holding the silver membership cards in their hands.
"Sister Xia Meng, those people just said that gold membership cards are made of gold.
Platinum membership card is made of platinum.
Our silver membership card is only made of silver.
Oh, I really want to have a platinum membership card. I heard that members with platinum membership cards have all priority rights in the club and don’t have to queue for anything. This is great. "
After hearing this, Xia Meng rolled his eyes and said:
"What are you thinking about? The one-year membership fee for a platinum membership card is HK$10. Even if you kill us, you won't be able to get it.
If I hadn't really liked this club, I wouldn't have gritted my teeth and taken out the HK$[-] paper to apply for this silver membership card, wiping out all my savings over the years. "
Zheng Peipei looked at Xia Meng's expression of gnashing her teeth and was very funny. Her sister Xia Meng had always been dignified and elegant, and looked like a lady to everyone. It was really rare to see sister Xia Meng with such a rich expression.
By 9 o'clock in the evening, Cao Zhihua and the top management of Zhihua Group had been busy all day and finally sent all the guests away.
Cao Zhihua called everyone for a meeting.
Xueru, let’s first talk about the ladies’ feedback and various statistics about the club today.
Chen Xueru had been busy all day, and even her voice was a little hoarse. She said with a hoarse accent:
“Through the feedback from the waiters in various areas, although there were a lot of people today, our luxurious decoration, various unexpected services and the delicious food of the restaurant have received all kinds of praise and exclamation. No one in any area has said this. If the club is not good, overall the feedback is very good.
A total of 2568 ladies signed in today, which greatly exceeded our estimate.
What’s even more incredible is our membership card processing. A total of 2196 membership cards were processed today.
Among them, the maximum number of silver membership cards is 1531.
425 gold membership cards
240 platinum membership cards
As for the number of clothing and sexy underwear sold, we haven’t counted it yet. Everyone is too tired. I plan to count it tomorrow.”
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"The sales data can be compiled tomorrow. Once the statistics are completed, contact the buyer as soon as possible and deliver the goods. Don't ruin your reputation."
"Okay, Director Cao."
"Brother Guohua, the security of the club will be handed over to you from now on. You will be responsible for coordinating it."
Zhang Guohua sat upright and replied firmly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, the club will be divided into three shifts every day. Each shift will have a team of 10 people in charge. Each class will have a team leader to take temporary command to ensure the safety of the club."
Cao Zhihua nodded and said to Lou Xiao'e:
"Mr. Lou, remember to check with Xueru about the club's sales receipts tomorrow morning. Once you get them back, they will be produced with quality and quantity as soon as possible. Are there any problems?"
Although Lou Xiao'e has been helping today, she has not been assigned specific tasks, so she can be lazy at any time and is not as tired as others, so she said:
"No problem, Director Cao, we guarantee that we will produce it as soon as possible and ensure the quality and quantity."
Cao Zhihua nodded and asked Xiaoyu:
"Xiaoyu, how much money did the club receive in total today?"
Xiaoyu opened the account book and said:
"Director Cao, the finance department only counted the specific amount spent on membership cards. The club collected a total of HK$6056 million in membership card membership fees today.
The total revenue of the club today is HK$7224 million, so the amount of clothing sold is HK$1168 million."
Everyone gasped when they heard this amount. Was this a gold mine?Is this more profitable than robbing a bank?
Cao Zhihua was also shocked by the amount. Although he knew that women's money is the best, and he should be very profitable by opening the first high-end women's club in Hong Kong, but this was just the beginning, and he had already collected so much money. It was really scary, so he quickly ordered:
"Everyone sitting here is my most trustworthy and dearest person. I here solemnly hope that everyone will forget about the income of the club. No one is allowed to tell it. No one can say it, including Brother Guohua. sister in law."
Zhang Guohua saw Cao Zhihua nod him alone and knew what Cao Zhihua meant, so he hurriedly said:
"Dr. Cao, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Ah."
Cao Zhihua looked around again.
Li Shengnan and Chen Zhihong expressed their opinions one after another:
"Chairman, don't worry. Once I leave this door, I will forget everything and no one will tell me anything."
After Cao Zhihua saw everyone expressing their opinions, he nodded and said:
"It's getting late. Let's get over with the meeting and go back to rest early. Thank you for your hard work. Today's opening is very successful. Everyone sitting here will be given a big red envelope by the company."
Everyone was overjoyed. Cao Zhihua generally said that the amount of a big red envelope would not be small. Everyone withdrew after saying this, saying:
"Chairman, you have worked so hard. You should go to bed early."
"Dr. Cao, you have had the hardest time today. Go back and rest early. Let's leave first."
"Chairman, go back and rest early. Let's leave first."
After Cao Zhihua watched everyone leave, he also took his three women home.
After arriving home, Shen Jing went to the bathtub to fill the water. Lou Xiao'e helped Cao Zhihua take off his clothes. Chen Xueru was really tired today and fell down on the recliner without moving.
Lou Xiao'e suddenly said:
"Zhihua, do you think they will disclose the income of our club?"
Having made so much money today, the funds for the subsequent development of Zhihua Group were all solved. Cao Zhihua was excited. When he heard Lou Xiao'e's words, he smiled indifferently and said:
"I just don't want competition to appear soon, so I ask everyone not to say anything. Even if someone does say it, it won't have much impact on us. It just so happens that we can also find out who is reliable and who is unreliable. fine."
After hearing what Cao Zhihua said, Lou Xiaoe breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was shocked when she heard such a large sum of money, fearing that others would be in trouble if they found out. However, Cao Zhihua said it was okay, and in Lou Xiaoe's heart, it was really okay.
So Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue from Cao Zhihua, and said:
"Hey, I thought it was serious. I was so nervous just now that I didn't dare to speak."
Cao Zhihua couldn't stand Lou Xiao'e's cute look the most. After a while, he said:
"Our club now has a first-mover advantage. As long as we provide good service, build a good reputation, and improve the stickiness of our members, it will be difficult for others to shake us in the future. If others compete with us, it will definitely not work if we invest less. If we invest more, it will not work. It’s also difficult to get our members to come over, so don’t worry too much.”
Cao, whom Lou Xiaoe admired, looked at Cao Zhihua and said:
"Well, Zhihua is the best. Zhihua is the most powerful man in the world."
Cao Zhihua chuckled and said:
"Since I know that I am the most powerful man, why don't you give me a bath? It will be time to choose my outfit later."
Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e were both dumbfounded and said:
"Zhihua, you are so tired today, why are you still here? Can't you take a rest for the night?"
Cao Zhihua refused ruthlessly:
"No, it definitely won't work. Our family's population is too small now. We need to increase the family's population quickly. I can only work hard on you."
Chen Xueru and Lou Xiao'e rolled their eyes and were speechless when they heard Cao Zhihua's lame excuse.
After a happy night, Cao Zhihua looked at the two paralyzed women, closed his eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep.
Without warning, Victoria's Secret Club suddenly spread among the upper class of Hong Kong Island. Its luxurious venues, five-star services, high-end clothing, and various magical items specially created for women make people forget to leave. The scenery has been passed down by Hong Kong's upper class as the most luxurious place for Hong Kong women to enjoy, and has become the capital for Hong Kong's noble ladies to show off.
For a time, various trustees recommended, and there was an endless stream of women applying for Victoria's Secret Club membership cards.
Xia Meng and Zheng Peipei are the beneficiaries. According to the wealth ranking of the club, both women are not eligible for invitations.
However, Xia Meng's fame allowed her to get invitations and membership cards, allowing the two of them to come to the club frequently to enjoy the best afternoon tea in Hong Kong Island. They became Hong Kong socialites in one fell swoop and successfully gained the envy of women in the entire cultural circle. Jealousy and hate.
But Xia Meng didn't care at all, because she rarely had social interactions with these people.
However, the manicure and makeup that Xia Meng has always wanted to do have not been queued up.
Yes, Victoria's Secret is so popular now. Nowadays, whitening, manicure, and makeup are basically reserved for platinum cardholders, and gold and silver members can't even be booked.
Since ancient times, people like to form cliques when there are many people, and women are no exception.
The members of the club gradually began to divide into countless small circles.
The most influential ones are naturally the white-skinned ladies and socialites of Great Eagle Country. These people love sexy lingerie, French waist dress series and Lolita wedding suit series the most.
The most sought-after new sexy lingerie styles that appear from time to time are the most popular. Once they appear, 1-20 pieces are purchased.
Of course, the spa area in the club is also their favorite. These white-skinned people have no other skills and are definitely good at enjoying it.
Next are the ladies and ladies from the four oldest Chinese families and some low-key wealthy families.
This group of people are more interested in afternoon tea, manicures, makeup, new cheongsam series suits, movie rooms and spas.
However, it is inevitable for women to compete and compete for beauty together.
That's why many platinum card guys come out and bring a group of little sisters to play together, otherwise they would be easily bullied in the club.
The club gradually began to become the vanity fair of Hong Kong Island.
Chen Xueru, Shen Jing, and Chen Zhihong firmly followed the route arranged by Cao Zhihua. All members interacted equally, but did not interfere in their private affairs.
If any member needs help, they will help connect them, regardless of whether it succeeds or not. However, the proprietress of the club is willing to help everyone, and gradually gains the favor of the members.
After all, everyone may need help sometimes. Now in the club, as long as you ask the club owner, she will be willing to help you connect. Naturally, everyone is willing to give face.
Since the opening of the club, Zhihua Group has collected nearly [-] million in funds at one time, and Cao Zhihua will naturally not let it earn interest in the bank.
Speeding up the construction of foreign clothing channels.
Now that the club is on the right track, the heads of departments within the Zhihua Group are doing very well. Cao Zhihua's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he is becoming more and more relaxed.
"Chairman, Mr. Li asked me to inform you that everyone is here and you can go to the conference room for the meeting."
Cao Zhihua stood up, walked to Du Xinru, kissed Du Xinru, and said:
"Okay, my sweet secretary, let's go."
Du Xinru smiled sweetly at Cao Zhihua and followed Cao Zhihua to the conference room.
After Cao Zhihua saw Li Shengnan, Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Xiaoyu, Xie Wenjun, and Zhang Guohua all arriving, he began to say:
"Before the meeting started, a personnel appointment was announced. After research by the board of directors, it was finally decided that Li Shengnan, general manager of Zhihua Real Estate, would be transferred from his current position and assume the position of general manager of Zhihua Group."
Seeing Li Shengnan's promotion, everyone applauded.
Cao Zhihua waited for everyone to finish applauding and then continued:
"Xie Wenjun, the former engineering department manager of Zhihua Real Estate, was transferred from his current position and assumed the position of general manager of Zhihua Real Estate."
After another round of applause, Cao Zhihua continued:
"The engineering department manager of Zhihua Real Estate was nominated by Mr. Xie, and Mr. Li and I made the decision after an inspection. These two personnel decisions were accepted. After the meeting, it was initiated by the General Manager Office, and I signed and sealed it and officially announced it to the entire group. The two CEOs will take office immediately."
"clap clap"
After everyone applauded, Cao Zhihua started today's meeting topics
"There is only one topic in today's meeting, which is the official launch of global sales of our Victoria's Secret apparel. Now, please talk to Mr. Li about the specific situation and implementation plan."
Li Shengnan was already familiar with handling such meetings. He stood up and bowed before saying:
"Dear Chairman Cao, various colleagues, after more than a month of site selection and decoration, as of yesterday, all 24 flagship display stores around the world have been decorated.
Since we have sufficient funds, copies of the video samples for TV commercials and print ads have been brought back to the headquarters and have been finalized after confirmation by the chairman and me.
Our Victoria’s Secret apparel global unified slogan is:
Victoria's Secret, a woman's treasure and a man's favorite.
Moreover, our personnel recruitment and training are also completed in advance.Our only requirement for employees in our flagship store is that all employees must wear our own clothes to work, and our market inspectors can take photos and describe them. Our company's marketing specialists have done a very good job on this.
So now we have the conditions for unified global opening. "
Cao Zhihua actually knows everything, so he only brought a pair of ears with him today and does not intend to speak in today's meeting.
After seeing Li Shengnan finish speaking, Chen Xueru said:
"Mr. Li, how much inventory does the global sales company have? The company has invested so much money in promotion. What if there is not enough inventory by then and the market misses the peak sales period?"
After listening to Chen Xueru's question, Li Shengnan answered directly:
"We have prepared 200 million sets of inventory for global sales this time, and another 50 pairs of stockings. There is no problem in meeting the strong sales period during the opening.
As for the subsequent expansion of franchise stores and the increase in product sales, the company has also considered it.
We require that the daily sales amount of all flagship stores must be deposited into the bank on the same day, and for this global sales, we have specifically asked Citibank and HSBC to provide us with financial support to ensure the safety of our funds.
As soon as the first funds enter the account, we will start a new production line and start recruiting workers to increase production. "
Lou Xiaoe asked:
"Is the new production line enough? Why not install the production line now, and then just recruit people to expand production, so as not to be too busy and overwhelmed."
Li Shengnan said:
"This is considered from the perspective of saving the company's costs and reducing the company's risks. Although we all hope to sell well and are optimistic that our products will sell well,
But don’t be afraid of anything, just be afraid of [-]. We don’t need a few days to avoid recruiting people and having nothing to do, and we will be in great trouble. "
Lou Xiao'e nodded and agreed with Li Shengnan's statement.
While listening to the heated discussion, Cao Zhihua raised questions one by one and solved them one by one. The efficiency was very good, so he was thinking about setting up an information department to collect information from all aspects, and setting up a think tank to help him improve. details to reduce the risk of company decision-making.
After everyone had finished the discussion, Li Shengnan gave everyone a unified decision: now that everything is ready, sales must start.
The time was set on the auspicious day of April 1961, 4, which was the day after tomorrow. It was officially launched at 25 a.m. Hong Kong Island time.
Advertising took the lead. TV commercials and print advertisements started bombarding in advance and lasted for a month to support the sales of flagship stores around the clock. Flagship stores that could not open due to time differences were launched early in the morning.
After listening to Li Shengnan's final summary report, Cao Zhihua nodded and recognized everyone's collective decision-making, but added at the end,
"Mr. Li, I have no problem with anything else. Just do it according to your ideas. I only care about the final result.
But for the new production line, you can consider arranging for people to install it first. I am still very confident about the sales of our products. Let’s install the production line first. If our products are sold out, you can quickly recruit people to expand production. "
Although Cao Zhihua said he would consider it himself, Li Shengnan knew Cao Zhihua too well, so he immediately expressed his position and said:
"Okay, Chairman, which production lines do you think is more suitable?"
After thinking for a while, Cao Zhihua said:
"First install it at five times the size of the existing stockings and sexy lingerie production lines. Then we will decide on the number of people to recruit based on the situation."
Li Shengnan quickly wrote it down and said:
"Okay, Chairman."
"The meeting"
