Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 366: Discussion of Branches

"As for the branch, grandpa, where do you think it should be opened?"

On the second weekend of January, Wang Zhuyun took care of Fangcaoxuan. Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling came to Luyuan. After having a family dinner with Mr. Lu, his second uncle Lu Chenglin’s family, and his sister-in-law Lu Shiyun’s family, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Chenglin, and Lu Heling , Lu Shuang and Mr. Lu discussed the matter of the Haolilai clothing mall branch.

Hearing Ji Yuanhai's question, Mr. Lu smiled: "I have no involvement in your business operations. As long as you can discuss it well, I will support any decision you make."

"Let's not talk about how much money I make. Even if I lose money, I have nothing to say."

"Anyway, the previous dividends have allowed me to repay all the borrowed money and make some profits. If the business reaches this point, it will no longer be considered a loss."

Lu Chenglin smiled and said, "Dad, based on what you said, can our business still be profitable?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether the business will be lost or not," Mr. Lu said. "Without Yuan Hai, Hollyland Clothing Mall would not be what it is now."

Lu Chenglin nodded: "That's right, I admit it."

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "Grandpa, second uncle, you guys, please don't put your hat on me. I'm in school all day long, how can I have such ability? It's only because of my second uncle that the Holiland Clothing Mall is what it is today." develop."

Mr. Lu smiled and said: "He does the hard work because he doesn't have the brains. Just like your employees at Holliday, they do a lot of work every day. We can't say that they work harder than us."

"The establishment of the golden sign of Holliday is entirely due to you, Yuan Hai."

After Ji Yuanhai spoke modestly and politely to Mr. Lu and Lu Chenglin, he returned to the topic just now.

"I think the branch shouldn't be too far away from the provincial capital. Let's do it step by step."

“Holland’s golden brand cannot be lost, and branches must be resounding when opened, and the rules must continue to be implemented.”

Mr. Lu nodded slightly.

Lu Chenglin also knew Ji Yuanhai's thoughts a long time ago and nodded in the same way: "Then choose a city near the provincial capital."

"Well, this is the preparation." Ji Yuanhai said, "Let Yuan Zhonghua and Lu Shuang each take a few people to investigate the suitability of conditions, the level of policy support, and the social environment in several surrounding cities. Wait for us Once you’ve made a decision, you can start selecting a site to build or renovate.”

"At the same time, send a group of people to train a group of local people and send them to the headquarters to mix with each other, so as not to form local interest groups to fight against the rules of the mall and bully the superiors and conceal the inferiors."

Ji Yuanhai was thinking and talking, and he talked about a lot of things about the future of the Oriland clothing mall branch.

When he stopped after he finished speaking, Lu Chenglin and Lu Heling were listening carefully. Lu Shuang took a notebook and was recording it. Mr. Lu nodded slightly with a smile.

"I am just talking about my own thoughts now, and I am still far from actual action." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile, "Xiao Shuang, you don't need to remember it!"

Mr. Lu smiled and said, "It's better to write it down!"

"Xiao Shuang doesn't have many abilities, but if he is willing to study hard, there is still room for improvement and growth. It is a good thing for him that he is willing to record your thoughts like this."

"If he doesn't have much ability, only has a half-full bottle of water, and doesn't learn and make progress, he will only cause trouble for us in the future!"

Lu Chenglin said with a smile: "Yuan Hai, what he says is more humble than anything else, and when he asks again, he has almost settled it all! I don't have to worry anymore, just go with what he wants, then it's accurate It can’t be wrong.”

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Second uncle, you praised me again!"

"This is not a boast, it's true!" Lu Chenglin laughed.

After laughing, Lu Chenglin thought of another thing and became a little calm: "Brother-in-law wants to invest money, Dad, what do you say-"

Mr. Lu was also a little embarrassed, but then he said in a low voice: "This matter is not easy to handle."

"My old friend who lent me money saw that I was making money and wanted to invest money in it. It's hard for me to refuse this favor. Your brother-in-law also wants to invest money in it, and it's also hard to refuse."

Ji Yuanhai interjected: "The flower boss in our provincial capital also wants to invest money."

Mr. Lu nodded: "This is the situation. Just open an opening and so many people want to participate."

"It would be inhumane to refuse them all, and you would be a little isolated. If you don't refuse, it would be difficult to manage the business."

"Yuan Hai, you make the decision on this matter."

After Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment, he replied: "Grandpa, we will not accept investment from Four Seasons Clothing Company and the provincial capital head office."

"At the branch, we can accept investment, but only our own people can participate in the operation and management. All investors only enjoy dividends and have no decision-making power, nor do they participate in any operation and management."

"Anyone who interferes with business management will have their principal refunded and no more shares will be received."

"Especially if you can't accept 30% of the profits to be invested in the mall and the employee benefits are high, then don't buy shares in the first place."

"Furthermore, after the dividend exceeds the investment principal, subsequent profits can be distributed as dividends, and the investment principal will no longer be compensated for losses."

Mr. Lu and Lu Chenglin both understood his thinking: "Use their power to strengthen ourselves, but we must not break the rules."

"Our conditions are more stringent and we only give them dividends, which is acceptable."

Ji Yuanhai nodded and said, "Let's give it a try. If we can accept these conditions, we can also accept their investment."

In particular, if the dividend exceeds the investment principal, the principal will no longer be compensated. It is also a bit of an overbearing clause, which can help block most shady operations - some investors may maliciously create a loss trap, press for debt as a shareholder, and put the company into trouble. The crisis forced the company to make concessions and modify the terms.

After Era added such a clause, it basically said this to investors: It can guarantee that at least you will be given the principal, and you will not lose money; but after the principal is exceeded, the company's profits and dividends will be paid, and you will not suffer any losses at all. The right comes to intervene again, and don't do anything like supervision, debt collection, and the like.

Under so many conditions, the investment capital can only change from a dragon to a loach when it enters a branch of the Haolilai clothing mall, completely eliminating the possibility of the investor interfering and changing the situation.

After Ji Yuanhai discussed the specific details with Mr. Lu and Lu Chenglin, Lu Chenglin called Lu Shiyun and Lin Boshan from outside.

After hearing this, Lin Boshan and his wife looked at each other a little bit.

"Second brother, these conditions are a bit harsh..." Lu Shiyun said, "After you invest money and receive dividends equal to the cost, you no longer have the right to recover the cost?"

"Yes, in the future, as long as there are dividends, we will pay them back. If there is no dividends and we suffer a loss, there is no need to pay any compensation." Lu Chenglin said.

"Then the assets we invested can be resold? Can they be withdrawn? Are they still considered money?" Lin Boshan asked immediately.

Ji Yuan Haiping said: "On the premise that the company is profitable, it can be resold to other shareholders of the company, or it can be withdrawn and withdraw from the shareholding. But at the critical moment when the company is not operating well, then the investment must be prepared to accept losses, and never Possible compensation.”

"This condition is a bit harsh, and it's only a branch..." Lu Shiyun said softly, looking at her husband Lin Boshan. Now is a question of whether it is believed that it will be profitable if it is believed in the clothing mall.

The Haolilai Clothing Mall in the provincial capital is profitable and has a good reputation. This does not mean that it can still stand firm in a new place...

Lin Boshan also thought for a long time and said: "Second brother and Yuan Hai, this is specifically to prevent outsiders from interfering after investing. I can understand it; anyway, if you invest money to ensure that the principal can come out, it is already a very safe investment. .”

"I'll put in half a million."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "He Ling invests 1.5 million."

Lin Boshan was surprised: "He Ling? Isn't it you, Yuan Hai?"

"I will try my hand at politics first, and I will keep the property here in Haolilai under Heling's name." Ji Yuanhai said.

When Lu Shiyun heard this, she immediately walked up to Lu Heling, held her hand, and said happily: "Now you are the boss of your family!"

Lu Heling smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I still listen to Yuan Hai."

"I don't know anything about management, so I just listen to him."

Lu Chenglin smiled and said: "Yuan Hai has handed over such a large business to He Ling, but his ability is not comparable to others; whether Haolilai has its head office or branches, we must still listen to him."

"If anyone doesn't listen to Yuan Hai and interferes randomly," Mr. Lu said, "I won't let him go!"

Lu Shiyun and Lin Boshan were both extremely surprised when they saw this scene.

Is Era Hai so trusted? Even after handing over all the family property, the Lu family still trusted him unreservedly.

As his wife, Lu Heling's behavior was not unexpected. It is really unexpected that Mr. Lu and Lu Chenglin continue to trust and value them so much.

It’s not like a business as big as the Haolilai Clothing Mall can’t move without Era Sea, right?

Amid the doubts of Lin Boshan and his wife, the matter was initially settled.

After the branch is decided, preparations in all aspects will continue. There may be some detailed changes by then, and it will definitely be more comprehensive.

After talking about these things, Ji Yuanhai asked about another thing: "By the way, Yue Qing has been staying in the provincial capital recently and has also been hanging out in front of some schools. Has Xiangrong met him again?"

Lin Boshan said unhappily: "Then the beast hasn't been struck by lightning yet?"

"I was hoping that something would happen to him, but it's a pity that nothing happened to him." Ji Yuanhai said, "As for more, I can't do much. After all, when I prepare to enter an official career, I just want to make good friends with Yue Feng of the Yue family first, and I can't do it openly. He took care of his uncle's brothers."

Lin Boshan was surprised: "Are you familiar with Yue Feng of this Yue family? I heard that after the death of Mr. Yue, he still kept the Yue family from falling, which is quite impressive."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "It's quite hard. I told me on the phone that I was very tired and mentally and physically exhausted."

"After all, his age, prestige, and position are quite different. It was only through diligence and frequent contacts that we finally stabilized the situation after the death of Mr. Yue."

Lin Boshan and his wife were quite surprised to hear Ji Yuanhai talking about being so close.

Mr. Lu and Lu Chenglin felt that it was natural. They knew that Ji Yuanhai had been valued by Mr. Yue Qianshan before and had made friends with Yue Feng. Unfortunately, Mr. Yue did not take a holiday. If they could hold on for a few more years, the situation of the Yue family and Ji Yuanhai would definitely be better. .

Although Ji Yuanhai felt a little regretful about this, he was not too grudged about it.

After all, if Mr. Yue Qianshan were here, Ji Yuanhai would definitely not be as flexible and free as it is now.

The topic returned to Yue Qing. Lin Boshan and his wife were even more shocked when they learned that Yue Qing had become extremely obese and had all five poisons. He also had uncured mei sores.

They made up their mind to keep Lin Xiangrong away from this guy.

After talking about these things in Lu Garden on Saturday, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling went to the Four Seasons Clothing Company on Sunday to have a meeting with Lu Chenglin, Lu Shuang, Yuan Zhonghua, and Liu Xianglan to discuss branch inspections and the branch's acceptance of additional investment.

Lu Heling invested 1.5 million, and the Lu family invested 1 million. They have management rights.

Lin Boshan invested 500,000 yuan and received pure dividends without any management rights.

Mr. Lu's old friends should have some investment, but I don't know if they can accept the harsh conditions. Anyway, after the investment comes in, they will not have management rights.

Boss Hua had previously intended to invest, and Ji Yuanhai estimated that he would not be able to accept the investment conditions.

After hearing the restrictions on investment, Yuan Zhonghua also smiled and said: "If Boss Ji does this, they probably won't invest in it. Our last branch will only have three million dollars to open."

"In this regard, we are giving them favors and not asking them to invest." Ji Yuanhai said, "It is actually convenient for us if they don't come. We just need to block their mouths and don't endanger them on all sides."

Yuan Zhonghua added: "Boss Ji, regarding inspections in various cities...should we act confidentially or openly?"

Ji Yuanhai immediately replied: "Of course it is an open action, and every city must know that there are competitors."

"Economic development is now a hard indicator, and the introduction of investment to develop people's livelihood is the biggest achievement. I believe that various cities will show sincerity and give us better policies."

Yuan Zhonghua understood: "Then I know what to do!"

"We're probably going to enjoy some good treatment this time!"

Ji Yuanhai nodded and pondered for a moment: "Brother Yuan, Lu Shuang, please follow you. He is weak in all aspects of experience, so you have to take good care of him."

This was because Lu Shuang was young and had little experience, and he was worried that he would fall into someone else's scheme.

Some conspiracies and conspiracies are easy to explain in person, but for a young man who is not yet married, traps such as warm and soft jade are too difficult to control.

Yuan Zhonghua smiled slightly and nodded.

Lu Chenglin also realized this problem and looked at Lu Shuang: "Xiao Shuang, it's time for you to get married."

Lu Shuang was surprised: "Me?"

"I'm actually not in a hurry..."
