Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

After lunch, they chatted for a while and then parted ways.

Qiu Boren and Chen Min drove back to Haizhu District.

Looking at No. 228 Tianhe Road moving further back in the rearview mirror, Chen Min couldn't help but sigh:

"The younger generation is formidable, what a great courage! What a great gesture!"

Qiu Boren agreed: "This is completely betting on the general trend. The scale is larger than Taikoo Shing in Hong Kong. If the domestic economy is not as good as Zhang Xuan expected, everything will be lost."

Chen Min tilted his head: "What if the economy meets expectations?"

Qiu Boren said: "Then he is a genius, and he should make a lot of money.

You have also visited Tianhe Plaza, which is under construction next door. It is a simple version of Taikoo Shing. You can guess the reason: they are worried that Yangcheng’s consumption level cannot keep up. "

Chen Min thought about Xiao Hui, then smiled and said: "If this complex succeeds, Tianhe Plaza will be suppressed and will never be able to succeed."

Qiu Boren also laughed, he was looking forward to it.

The car went all the way south.

As soon as Qiu Boren returned to Wanbang Design, he didn't even bother to take a sip of water. He went directly to the office, closed the door, and started making phone calls.

Boom, boom, boom.

After three rings, the call was connected.

"Bo Ren?" A middle-aged man's voice.

Qiu Boren said: "Old classmate, please help me."

The other side asked: "What are you busy with?"

Qiu Boren said: "Help me investigate a person."

The reaction came immediately: "Have you received another big project?"

"It's still in the contact stage, I need you to confirm it for me." Qiu Boren said.

The other side said, "Tell me the information."

Qiu Boren talked about the land at No. 228 Tianhe Road, and then said:

"If it's convenient, you can help me briefly investigate the information of Zhang Xuan and Li Mei."

There was silence on the other side, and then he said, "Bo Ren, this is not like you."

Qiu Boren was well prepared and quickly explained: "Old classmate, please understand, this project is too big for Chen Min and I to take on, so we must hire significant foreign aid.

But under the premise of uncertainty, I can't invite people over rashly. "

The other person was a little surprised and asked out of curiosity: "You two can't do it yet? Who can I invite?"

Qiu Boren did not hide anything: "Mr. Guo Zhuoming, and two friends from the Dutch IBA firm."

When he heard it was Guo Zhuoming, he agreed: "Okay, wait for my news."

Half a day later, Qiu Boren received a call back.

After grabbing the receiver, Qiu Boren couldn't wait to ask: "How's it going? Have you found it?"

"I found out that the land you mentioned is indeed under the name of Yingtai Real Estate. The legal person of Yingtai Real Estate is Zhang Xuan, and it is usually managed by Li Mei."

Then, without waiting for Qiu Boren to speak, Zhang Xuan's personal information was revealed at once.

When he heard that Zhang Xuan was a famous domestic writer in March, Qiu Boren was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief:

"Old classmate, are you right?"

There was silence over there, and then he said, "That's right. I didn't believe it at first, so I also checked to see if they had the same name."

At this point, the other person paused and said, "Few people know that Zhang Xuan is a great writer.

I also read the information showing that he was studying at the Chinese University of Chinese Medicine, and then I found out about it by looking for a vice-principal there. "

"Still studying at CUHK?" Qiu Bo was very surprised. It was a bit strange that such a freshman writer was still studying.

It's so unreasonable.

"Yes, reading."

"Graduate school? Or PhD?"

"No, I just finished my freshman year and will be a sophomore in the second half of the year."

"."

Qiu Boren felt bad, stopped talking, and lost his voice for a while.

Seeing that Qiu Boren didn't answer, he said: "Okay, you can take your time to think about it. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first. By the way, Zhang Xuan's matter is not known to everyone yet, so don't make it public for the time being."

"Sure." Qiu Boren, who took a long time to recover, responded and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, when she saw her husband coming out of the office, Chen Min, who was busy, immediately put down what she was doing, ran over and asked with concern:

"How about it? Those two are not liars, are they?"

Qiu Boren glanced at the company employees outside, pulled Chen Min into the office, closed the door and said to her:

"There's good news, there's bad news, and there's scary news."

When Chen Min heard the bad news, his heart sank and he asked urgently: "Tell me the good news first."

Qiu Boren said: "The good news is that Zhang Xuan and Li Mei are not liars. The land is indeed in their names, totaling more than 53,000 square meters."

Hearing this, Chen Min breathed a sigh of relief for no reason: "What's the bad news?"

Qiu Boren said: "The project is huge, but Zhang Xuan and Li Mei don't have much money."

"What? No money?"

"Um."

Chen Min asked doubtfully: "No money? If you don't have money, you still run like crazy, and if you don't have money, you still vow to build a unique landmark building in the world?"

Qiu Boren looked at her and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence. Because he complained about it in his heart.

Chen Min was very disappointed when her husband didn't speak.

She really thought that a huge project was going to hit her, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a failure.

Qiu Boren seemed to know what his wife was thinking, so he comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Although they have no money now, their ability to make money is still scary."

Chen Min heard what was said and urged: "Tell me, tell me the scary news and see if you can scare me."

Qiu Boren placed the newspaper he had just read in front of his wife: "It's all in the newspaper, you can read it yourself."

"Huh?" Chen Min was confused: "What does this mean?"

Qiu Boren pointed to a piece of news with his finger and said: "Xu Jun told me that Zhang Xuan was born in March and is a great writer. He is currently studying at the Chinese University of China."

After hearing this, Chen Min didn't react much. She just stared at her husband without blinking.

Qiu Boren lit a cigarette and sighed, "This is what Xu Jun told me. It's absolutely true."

Chen Min blinked, then lowered his head sharply the next second, picked up the newspaper and started reading.

For a moment, there was no sound in the office.

One was smoking and looking at his wife, the other was looking down at the newspaper.

More than ten minutes passed like this

Until a certain moment, the ringing sound of the phone broke the dead silence.

Hearing the sound, Chen Min just looked at the phone, ignored it, and continued reading the newspaper.

Qiu Boren changed the cigarette to his left hand, picked up the receiver with his right hand and asked, "Hello, hello."

"Dad, it's me, is mom here?" A female voice said.

Qiu Boren glanced at his wife: "If you have anything to do, just say it, your mother is not free now."

The female voice said: "I'm not around, it's okay if I'm not around.

Dad, please tell your mother that I will not return to China next month. I have thought of the reason for you, saying that her daughter cannot find a boyfriend and has no face to go home to see Jiangdong's father. "

Qiu Boren looked at his wife who was eyeing him with eagerness and smiled awkwardly.

Chen Min grabbed the receiver and said sternly: "You must return to China next month."

"Hey, Mom, are you there?" The female voice was startled by the sudden roar.

But the next second, the female voice insisted: "When I come back, you keep urging me to find a partner every day, but I can't find one. It's better not to come back and be an eyesore to you."

Chen Min said: "You don't have to look for it, I'll find it for you."

The female voice paused for a few seconds, and then asked weakly: "Who is it? Who else is worthy of me?"

Chen Min laughed angrily: "Who do you think you are? You are the only one in the world who is great! Great writer, the person I am looking for for you is a great writer.

I'm warning you, you must come back next month to help with work. If you continue to idle around, your food rations will be cut off! "

After saying that, there was a "bang" sound and the phone was hung up brutally.

When Chen Minzheng used the famous writer to scare her daughter.

At this moment, the great writer is sitting at a roadside stall, looking at the sunset and feeling sad.

Even if I don't worry, I can't numb myself.

Ever since he couldn't find a designer in Yangcheng and had to find someone internationally, Zhang Xuan knew that the budget of 1.5 billion would definitely not be enough.

The problem is, the 1.5 billion budget is already dying, and it’s still going to be increased.

Do you want to live anymore?

Really worried about money.

It stands to reason that I am now considered an expert at making money.

In the first three months, the royalties from "Wind Sound" alone reached 9.87 million.

Although the payment has not yet been received, an organization as big as People's Literature cannot rely on this small amount of money.

There is currently 1.72 million in his own account.

There are also 23 pink diamonds.

If you can successfully sell these pink diamonds, you can definitely earn millions, right?

Now that August is not over yet, the royalties from the two books this month can also be expected, and a large sum of money will be received by then.

If you add up these zeros and zeros, you'll get 20 million, right?

Add in the 20 million bank mortgage loan, and it’s 40 million.

As for the company's account, Zhang Xuan doesn't often check it openly.

But Li Mei is very disciplined and conscious, and will send financial statements to his door every month for him to read.

At that time, 10 tons of brandy liquid sold for 8.84 million.

The money was used as start-up capital for newsprint.

And the news paper has been produced for just over a year now.

The ins and outs of this money are also very clear.

Years ago, its only businesses were Xinmin Evening News and West China Metropolis Daily. The monthly circulation volume of the two newspapers is a fixed 80,000 tons, and the profit is 30 yuan per ton.

The net profit is almost 2.4 million per month.

In the first five months, the revenue was 12 million.

Starting from the end of the year, the monthly sales volume of Guangdong Daily News will reach 50,000 tons.

In the next seven months of the year, the three newspapers sold 130,000 tons per month, with an average profit of 29.5 yuan per ton. Calculated in 7 months, it is about 27 million.

In other words, the total annual income of newsprint is 39 million.

Here we need to throw out the company's daily expenses and the small 3 million from favors.

There are only 36 million left.

Adding in the principal of the brandy liquid, 36 million plus 8.84 million, the total is 44.84 million.

As for the land and textile factory at No. 228 Tianhe Road, 28 million was spent twice, leaving only 17.84 million left in the company's account.

At most 10 million can be extracted from the 17.84 million.

Any more will affect the normal operations of the foreign trade company.

Here is 10 million, plus the previous 40 million, the funds that can be used now are only 50 million.

50 million to build the west tower and build a large shopping mall is still not enough.

However, although it is very difficult, if we follow industry practices and severely suppress the supplier's balance, it can still work.

If, by then, it really doesn't work, just sell the 2 tons of brandy liquid you have stored.

Trees are moved to death and people are moved to life. For the sake of the big plan, what does a mere two meals of brandy liquid mean?

The key thing is, what's annoying is that the money from the sale is not enough. It's still a lot short of the start-up capital for the first phase of the complex.

Seeing Zhang Xuan sitting there with a depressed look on his face, Li Mei, who finished eating the jelly slowly, comforted: "Are you worried about money?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at her and said nothing, knowing that she had something to say.

Li Mei wiped her mouth with a tissue, looked at him and said, "Didn't you keep asking me to increase prices this past year?"

Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up: "Is it done?"

Li Mei nodded: "Ever since I acquired the land, I have been worried about money.

In the past year, in order to maintain relationships, I have been delivering newsprint to three newspapers at a small profit.

Fortunately, we didn't make any mistakes, otherwise the two of us wouldn't be able to afford food now.

The three newspapers are also aware of this situation.

So when I proposed a price increase of 42 yuan per ton on the grounds of inflation some time ago, they had no objection and accepted it calmly. "

Zhang Xuan suddenly became confused: "Is it really that simple?"

Li Mei nodded: "It's that simple. In fact, even if the price increases by 42 yuan, it is still much lower than the unit price I sold to them before.

What do they disagree with? But it didn’t come without any cost to me. "

Zhang Xuan asked: "What's the price?"

"I promised them that prices would not change in the next year," Li Mei said.

This makes sense.

A businessman pursues profit, and if there is no price, he would not believe it even to death.

Judging from the inflation situation in the past two years, this price is not small.

Zhang Xuan made some calculations in his mind, and it took him a while to realize:

"Actually, our profit margin is still not high, just over 7% and less than 8%. It is still among the low-profit margins in foreign trade."

Li Mei said frankly: "Yes. The three newspapers readily agreed to my price increase because they knew we didn't make much.

They are worried about inflation, and they are also worried that I will not be able to continue doing it. "

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but do the math. In the future, the profit per ton will be 71.5 yuan. 130,000 tons per month, he can earn about 9.3 million yuan.

Oops! If we ignore the high risks of foreign trade, it would be a lot every month.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's cheerful face, Li Mei thought for a while and said: "I am currently working on public relations for Yangcheng Daily. If I can win it, our financial pressure will be relieved a lot."

Zhang Xuan asked expectantly: "How confident is this newspaper?"

Li Mei said bluntly: "This is the last newspaper in China where I have connections.

No matter how difficult it is for this newspaper, we must win it.

Even if the kickback is a little bigger, it must be won. Because apart from this newspaper, it is difficult for us to publicize other domestic newspapers. Unless there is a problem with their inherent supply chain, we will have a chance. "

Zhang Xuan instantly understood that this was a so-called carrot and a pit. The chain of interests had already been established, and it was impossible for others to give opportunities to outsiders casually.

Put aside other people’s personal connections. As far as receiving kickbacks is concerned, it is too risky to do it with strangers, but it is much safer to do it with acquaintances.

Only a fool would switch suppliers easily.

Zhang Xuan said very happily: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. If it doesn't work, just tell me and I will think of a solution then."

Zhang Xuan is also eager to make money now. As long as he can make money, he will seize the opportunity.

"good."
