Chapter 1161 Continue or Terminate
After hearing Lin Lan's words, Hua Lianyue didn't ask Lin Lan for the specific reason or give any advice. She just smiled and said, "Isn't the company's account less than 100,000 yuan? It's not that far from the end of the road. What to do next is up to you."
Lin Lan said with some confusion: "Although there is less than 100,000 yuan in the account, I really have no idea now. I feel a little bit uneasy and a deep sense of powerlessness, so I want you to give me some advice."
Hua Lianyue said: "I can give you a plan. If you plan to continue to develop investment, I can invest another 3 million for you. You heard it correctly. It is 3 million, not 300,000. But if we give you opinions, it is actually equivalent to our intervention. Your independence in operating this project will no longer exist. The project is equivalent to being terminated in your hands."
Lin Lan thought for a while and said, "It seems that this is the case. If I adopt your opinions, it is equivalent to implementing your ideas. Let me think about it first."
Lin Lan did not ask Hua Lianyue to continue to invest 3 million for her. Jiang Nan noticed the regret that was inadvertently revealed in Hua Lianyue's eyes.
Next, Lin Lan did not continue this topic, but asked another question from Jiangnan: "I heard from Wei Shanshan that you insisted on not establishing an agency. Can you tell me why? Because I think this industry is not impossible."
Jiang Nan said: "There is no need. A simple agency cannot make much money. The main job is to serve celebrities. What's more, our school beauties are not a celebrity. We have to constantly help them find resources to build relationships and contact them with all aspects. The work is too trivial and annoying. Moreover, I don't like being the boss of an agency. Although I will not be exposed directly, I don't like indirect exposure either."
As for a simple brokerage company, Jiangnan remembers that in 2019, it was the best brokerage company. Its operating income had just exceeded 100 million yuan. Although the gross profit margin was very high and it could reach more than 90%, it was only more than 90 million yuan.
Even a comprehensive entertainment company like XXX, the annual revenue has only been more than 2 billion yuan in 18 years. According to public information, it is still at a loss, and its market value has even dropped by 90%.
The reason is that this industry as a whole is a big circle.
The domestic film and television industry, especially movies, has a little more famous production company, with at least four or five, and as many as a dozen. Why does this happen? To put it bluntly, sharing risks and sharing benefits is one aspect, but more so are complex interpersonal relationships in the circle.
Please give me some support to the movies produced by my company. I will also like to give you the movies produced by your company. Everyone has resources and personal connections. So in the end, they have to make money together and pay together. It is not that everyone thinks that this script is so good, so it is difficult to have a company that produces high-quality products.
Of course, there are also examples, such as So-and-Sunshine.
Moreover, it cannot be said that Jiangnan has not been involved in the film and television industry. The Little Penguin and Baihu companies invested in Jiangnan have invested in entertainment companies later. In this way, Jiangnan can indirectly hold shares in the film and television company.
Lin Lan said: "So that's the case, but what you're considering is right. Our business is not saturated yet, so there is no need to consider things outside of our business scope. I really want to say sorry about the matter of duck neck, which will distract you."
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "It's not a distraction, we haven't bothered."
Hua Lianyue said, "Lin Lan, don't listen to his nonsense. We just don't want to interfere with your own business. By the way, your mother still doesn't know that you are making duck necks, right?"
Lin Lan said in confusion: "I dare not tell my mother. If I say that my mother will definitely get angry, I'm too rash."
Hua Lianyue smiled and said, "No need to say, we didn't plan to come to Hanchang this time, let alone tell Jiangnan's father. They thought we were in Luzhou, so we went to Yangcheng tonight. If we don't go to Changying Real Estate Company to see your mother and Aunt Yuan, we will also explain what we are doing in Hanchang."
In the afternoon, Lin Lan took Jiangnan, Hua Lianyue and Meng Yue to various duck neck stores. Along the way, Lin Lan introduced the situation of each store to Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue.
It turned out that Lin Lan rented a shop on two floors near Hanchang University. Usually, Lin Lan and her partners lived on the second floor.
There is a small kitchen behind the shop on the first floor, and there is actually a small courtyard behind the kitchen.
Lin Lan's partner took her hired aunt to clean up the duck goods in the yard, and then her partner cooked it in the kitchen and finally sent it to various stores.
However, because other stores do not need to cook duck necks, they are much smaller, and there is only one aunt responsible for selling them.
Very simple and primitive handicraft workshop.
However, Lin Lan, who has worked experience in Jiangnan Huayue Supermarket, knows that after simply decorating the store, the styles of several stores remain consistent.
When Lin Lan took Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue to the second floor shop of Hanchang University, Lin Lan's classmate and partner were cooking duck necks in the kitchen.
After meeting, Lin Lan introduced: "Xiaoyu, this is my classmate in my hometown, Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue, this is my classmate Peng Xiaoyu, that is, she can cook duck necks."
Peng Xiaoyu was not talkative. She said hello shyly, "Hello you guys", and then stood aside and stopped talking. Not only did she not speak, but she also seemed a little restrained.
Jiang Nan understood, no wonder Lin Lan was able to cooperate with Peng Xiaoyu. It turned out that one was external and the other was internal. Moreover, Peng Xiaoyu was too introverted and it was probably difficult to find a job after graduation.
After staying in Lin Lan's shop for a while, Jiangnan and the other two returned to the hotel.
Before parting, Lin Lan explained to Peng Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu is not very familiar with you, so she still has a lot to say to me."
Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue didn't care.
It's summer vacation now, and Lin Lan has to go back to Changying Real Estate's courtyard tonight. There is no reason to float outside, because this time Jiangnan and Hua Lianyue came to Hanchang quietly, so everyone did not have dinner together at night.
Moreover, the three of them in Jiangnan went to Yangcheng at around 7 pm, so the three of them returned to the hotel and just had a short rest. They had a snack near the hotel, so they went to Hannan Railway Station to catch the train.
It took more than 1,100 kilometers from Hanchang to Yangcheng, and the express train arrived in the evening, so Hua Lianyue didn’t want to take the plane. She bought 4 soft bedrooms, closed the small door, and chatted all the way, and happened to arrive in Yangcheng in the morning.
As for the hotel you booked earlier, you will also go back.
After the train started, Jiang Nan still talked about the duck neck: "Sister Yue, during the day, you met Lin Lan, is it true that you planned to invest another 3 million in her?"
Hua Lianyue nodded and said, "Of course it's true. In fact, she didn't accept this investment. I'm still a little disappointed, which means she is really not suitable for starting a business."
Jiang Nan said: "Maybe Lin Lan has a different mentality. She can still bear 300,000 in her heart, and 3 million may break through her limit."
Hua Lianyue said: "You also know that there are many duck necks in Hanchang. Everyone sells them as snacks. The tastes of each store are also different. For most customers, they actually don't have any special preferences. You can buy them at home. With the taste and taste of Peng Xiaoyu now, it can satisfy most customers."
Jiang Nan said: "This is true, so what Lin Lan needs to do is to achieve industrial production, expand the number of stores, and occupy the market as soon as possible, right?"
