Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 215: It seems like the money is being spent more and more?
As Gu Heng was thinking, Qian Haowei didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly waiting for Gu Heng's response.

He thought he had already lowered his posture and shown the most sincerity. If Gu Heng still refused, then he would really have no choice. After all, it was not easy to give money away these days.

What's more, this is not just a simple gift.

He just wanted to use this 30% stake to buy a ticket and board Gu Heng's big ship.
Yoshihisa
When the cigarette in Gu Heng's hand burned out, he casually threw the cigarette butt on the ground and slowly said, "Boss Qian, aren't you afraid that I won't play with you in the future if I take this 30% stake?"

Qian Haowei was a little excited. He could feel that Gu Heng was inclined to agree, so he quickly shook his head.

"With your wealth, Mr. Gu, if you really don't want to be associated with me, you will definitely not be willing to accept this 30% stake, because I know that this 30% stake is nothing to you."

Gu Heng smiled teasingly, and then responded in a joking tone: "You guessed right, this 30% stake is indeed nothing, but this money is like picking it up for free, why shouldn't I want it? After all, the more money, the better."

This time, Qian Haowei finally confirmed Gu Heng's intention. His face was no longer tangled, but was replaced by a full smile: "I took the initiative to give you this 30% of the shares. Even if you really don't want to play with me later, I can guarantee that I will not have any resentment towards you.

But I think what you just said, Mr. Gu, is very right. When it comes to money, the more the better.

Mr. Gu, if you don’t take me with you, this 30% stake is only worth 4000 million or 5000 million at most. But if you are willing to take me with you, then this 30% stake may be worth 4 million, 5 million, or even more.”

Listening to Qian Haowei's words, the mocking look on Gu Heng's face became even more intense.

"Usually I'm the one making promises for others, but I didn't expect that when we went out for a drink today, Boss Qian would be so welcoming and even prepare a cake for me as a main course."

"Boss Gu, this is not just empty talk, this is..."

However, before Qian Haowei could finish his words, Gu Heng raised his hand and interrupted him: "If it's not empty talk, what is it?
Boss Qian, do you really believe that your marketing plan will be successful with my participation? You can give this pie to those shareholders, but it's not enough for me. It's not that I don't like pie, but your pie is too small, not even enough to fill my teeth."

After saying that, Gu Heng stood up and stretched.

"This"

At this time, Qian Haowei really didn't know what Gu Heng was thinking. The attitude Gu Heng showed in the previous second was still one of agreement, so why did he seem to be turning against him in the next second?
Just when Qian Haowei thought Gu Heng was about to leave the private room, Gu Heng's voice rang out again.

"But
Boss Qian, your pie may be small, but the pie I drew is quite big. Would you like to have a bite?"

Qian Haowei just felt that it was too difficult to communicate with someone like Gu Heng. He thought he was about to agree, but in the end, the answer he gave was no.

I thought he was going to refuse, but the next second, his reaction was reversed.

But Qian Haowei did not dare to show any impatience, and asked with an attentive look: "Mr. Gu, what are you planning to do?"

"I can take this 30% stake, but I think it's too little. It's not worth my attention. Boss Qian, can you understand what I mean?"

Qian Haowei could understand, of course, but his expression was a little awkward.
30% is still too little?

I have invested so much real money, and after giving this share, I only have 40.5% left, which is only 10.5% more than Gu Heng.

Taking out 30%, Qian Haowei even felt that he was bold enough.

But he didn't expect Gu Heng to be even greedier than he thought. 30% was not enough and he even wanted more.
What's wrong?

Will you be satisfied only if I give you the remaining 40.5%?

If Qian Haowei hadn't felt that he shouldn't offend Gu Heng even if he couldn't please him, he might have already said "Your mother is a bitch".

Gu Heng looked at Qian Haowei's ugly expression and guessed what he was thinking. He said calmly, "I think Boss Qian must have misunderstood me. I, Gu Heng, am not a greedy person. I just want to cooperate with you in a different way."

"?"

Qian Haowei was puzzled.

"If I remember correctly, the SOS brand should be well-known throughout Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, right?"

Listening to Gu Heng's inexplicable question, Qian Haowei nodded: "SOS Bar is a brand under the Hangzhou SOS Group. The SOS Group also has many other brands, such as IN11, PARTY, BO, and DREAMLAND.

But this should have nothing to do with us, right? We, Hangzhou SOS, are just a franchisee, and the contractual binding period has long passed. Even the 15% stake that their group previously held in our bar has been bought back by me.

Now I only need to pay a small franchise fee every year. My bar actually has nothing to do with SOS. I can even change the name of the bar and not have to pay the franchise fee."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and continued, "Boss Qian, you have been working in the nightclub industry for more than ten years. You should be aware of the profits of this industry, right? Can you tell me a few words?"

Qian Haowei showed an expression of "of course it's possible" and quickly said: "The nightclub industry can be said to be a cash cow in the real economy. I believe that Mr. Gu should have heard of its high profits.

It is already amazing that the profits of other real industries can reach 3%.

But in the nightclub industry, the gross profit margin is generally above 7%, and even those popular nightclubs can even make 8%! That means if the monthly turnover is 8000 million, the gross profit will be million!"

Gu Heng couldn't help but gasp when he heard Qian Haowei's words. Although he knew that nightclubs made huge profits, he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

But Qian Haowei hadn’t finished his words yet. He was still praising at the beginning, but then he started to criticize:

“However, the nightclub industry has a very small base. After all, the people who can spend money in nightclubs are young people, and they have to be wealthy young people.

First-tier provincial capital cities like Hangzhou can only accommodate a few large nightclubs. Some small marginal cities cannot even support large nightclubs. At most, they can only run some small bars or discos.

But it is precisely because the base is so small that the cake can be divided into the hands of people like me. Otherwise, I can't even have a sip of soup."

Gu Heng certainly understood these principles, but he did not hesitate. Instead, he said to Qian Haowei, "Are you interested in starting a large nightclub brand like SOS Group or Noah Group?"

"what?"

Qian Haowei was stunned. Just now, when Gu Heng said he would paint a pie for him, he thought it was a joke.

But I didn't expect that Gu Hengyoubing was a real painting.
Isn’t he afraid that he will choke to death on the cake?
Are you still interested in setting up an SOS Group or a Noah Group?

Of course he is interested. If he can really make it, he can definitely move up a step and become one of the giants in the industry! Even if the basic market of this industry is small, there is a saying?

I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

I didn't even have the qualifications to be the boss before.

Gu Heng looked at his confused expression and laughed. It seemed that the pie he had drawn was indeed a little too big.
However, in Qian Haowei's eyes, it was a big pie that could choke him, but in his eyes, it was not really a big project, and he also said with a smile: "Originally, I had no interest in the nightclub industry. As you said just now, the base is too small.

But now I have changed my mind and want to get involved in this industry.

But this intervention does not mean taking your 30% shares and then sitting at home waiting for dividends, but planning to build up some scale. "

"Could you give me some details, Mr. Gu?"

"To put it simply, what you just said, about building an Internet celebrity bar, I think it's feasible, but I'm not interested in such a small-scale thing. I want to go big. Is that detailed enough?"

"So what are you planning, Mr. Gu?"

To be honest, Qian Haowei was still very excited.

Gu Heng is willing to tell me so much. Isn't this indirectly showing that he is willing to take me out to play?

To put it bluntly, even if Gu Heng left him alone to play, how could he be angry?
"Using your Hangzhou SOS Bar as the base, you can create a brand group of internet celebrity nightclubs. The main point is to use internet celebrities as a gimmick. You should invest money in advance to invite internet celebrities to participate in marketing, and try to find some famous internet celebrities to stay as permanent residents.

We will use the SOS Bar in Hangzhou as a pilot. If the results are good, we will continue to open branches in other large cities.

And I don’t plan to adopt the franchise model, all stores will be directly operated by the group, and all investments will be handled by the group itself.”

"But in this case, the investment cost is too high. You may be able to pay for it, but I and several other shareholders simply cannot afford it."

The plan Gu Heng proposed was indeed tempting.

If it really succeeds, the value of this nightclub brand can reach tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, or even go public.

But this investment is too big. Even if I grit my teeth and sell off all my other businesses, I still can't keep up with Gu Heng's pace.
I'm having a hard time myself, let alone those rich second-generation shareholders who follow me around for a living. It's impossible for them to come up with so much money.

Gu Heng smiled upon hearing this: "Boss Qian, didn't I realize you are so loyal? I have drawn such a big pie, are you willing to bring those shareholders along?"

"You mean"

"I don't care whether you are willing to take them with you or not. Anyway, I have no interest in being their babysitter. The friendship between you is a matter between you two. I can't bring a group of outsiders with me to make money.

If the plan can be implemented, I will introduce a group of new shareholders. I have several friends in Beijing and Guangzhou, and it should not be a problem to ask them to pay out several hundred million to buy shares.

As for you?
My advice is to eat as much as your appetite allows.

We will re-plan the shareholding ratio later. Now you hold 40.5% of the shares. If you think you can catch up with the investment later, you can continue to hold this much share. If you think you cannot catch up with the investment, I still suggest that you sell your shares to my friends at the market price.

I won't take advantage of your power, you can decide for yourself.

As for the 30% stake, since you are so enthusiastic, I will take it."

Qian Haowei remained silent at this time.
He himself had never thought that his simple act of looking for a mountaintop could actually be involved in such a big plan.
But after the silence, only excitement remained.

Can a person who can be good friends with Gu Heng and can casually take out hundreds of millions be an ordinary person?
That must not be the case!

Wasn't his original purpose to integrate into Gu Heng's circle? Being able to work with such a group of big men would be equivalent to raising his network to a higher level?
As for Gu Heng accepting the 30% shares with peace of mind, Qian Haowei had no objection at all and was even quite happy.

If it wasn't for the 30% share gift that opened the door for Gu Heng, why would Gu Heng take me out to play? Just because I came up with an idea, I could own a bar? These so-called capitals were nothing in Gu Heng's eyes.

Thinking of this, Qian Haowei also stood up and said, "Okay! Since Mr. Gu is willing to take me along, I'm not someone who doesn't know how to appreciate it. I will deal with these troubles as soon as possible."

The so-called trouble he was talking about, of course, was the shareholders who still held 35% of the bar's shares.

As the big boss holding 65% absolute controlling stake, it would be very easy for him to kick these people out.

In the past, he was willing to take them out to play only because their fathers had a certain influence in Hangzhou and could bring some benefits to the SOS Bar. Now, he has become close to Gu Heng and has even started to cooperate with bigwigs in Guangzhou and Beijing.

Do we still need to care about them?
They're shit.
Seeing Qian Haowei's decisiveness, Gu Heng nodded and said, "I will find a chance to tell my friends what I just said in the next few days. If they are interested, I will organize a meeting some other day and we can talk face to face.

If they are not interested, then we can do it together. It is only a few billion yuan investment anyway, and it is a real industry, so the loss is not too big. "

Listening to Gu Heng's tone, Qian Haowei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

If he is not a big shot, he can talk about billions of dollars of investment so easily.
But he didn't think Gu Heng was pretending. If he was as rich as Gu Heng, he believed he could pretend even more than Gu Heng.
At this point, Gu Heng was no longer interested in continuing. He walked out of the box and said, "Prepare the financial report of your bar in the next few days. I will send someone to learn about the operating conditions of SOS Bar in the past two years. When you kick out those small shareholders, I think I will have a clear understanding of the situation. Then we can consider the equity transfer."

What Gu Heng did was a bit disrespectful.

But no way.

Gu Heng is no longer a rookie now, and he has to consider everything carefully.

In this society, those who give you money are not necessarily good people.

Let alone giving away 30% of the shares, there are many twists and turns in it, and one must be careful. Even if Qian Haowei discounted the 30% shares into tens of millions of cash and gave it to me, I still have to be careful.
Who knows whether he got this money easily? Is it hot to the touch?
But what should be said should not be said.
Gu Heng discovered something
That is, after becoming a billionaire and famous, life seems to have become simple.
Borrowing Wang Duoyu's lines
Even if you are squandering like crazy, and you spend millions to acquire a broken company, a company with huge market potential will come up for you to invest in the next moment. Although you may not make much money, you will definitely make money.
I just spent over 200 million yuan in a nightclub, and the nightclub owner gave me shares worth tens of millions of yuan.
It's like your money has the ability to reproduce.
It seems like the fucking money is increasing.
Now Gu Heng finally believes that wealth will only continue to gather towards a small group of people.
Because I am a typical example. I didn't do anything, but my money was slowly increasing and my status was steadily improving.
