Chapter 359: The Wang family talks about cooperation, the new deputy store manager
Zhou Chen still knows a thing or two about the experience of Wang Chong upstairs.
Wang Chong came from a poor family. Although he went to college, it was only an ordinary university. However, he relied on his own ability and spent more than 20 years to transform from a penniless poor boy to a
Became the current real estate tycoon.
This is simply a perfect protagonist template.
But it was precisely because of her lack of background that Mrs. Wang was ostracized and ridiculed by the wives in her circle.
But as Mrs. Wang said, in terms of annual income among the wives’ families, I am afraid that only Mrs. Li’s family can match it, and none of the others can.
Of course, Zhou Chen did not have the idea of being domineering because he was born in a big family. To make iron, you have to be tough yourself. Zhou Chen did not reject Wang Chong.
"Mr. Zhou is really quick to talk."
Wang Chong laughed. He was not as pot-bellied as many big bosses. Instead, he looked a little thin. He was at most 1.7 meters tall and his body was very thin. However, he exuded an aura of confidence that made people dare not underestimate him.
"I heard that Mr. Zhou has been doing charity recently and has initially invested several hundred million. There are not many people like you in the country. I really admire him."
Seeing that Wang Chong did not directly talk about his purpose, but instead talked about his own affairs, Zhou Chen could only say modestly: "It's not as exaggerated as Mr. Wang said. I just try my best to help those in need."
Helping children is not charity."
"If Mr. Zhou is not called charity, then there really are no philanthropists in the world."
Wang Chong praised again: "To be honest with Mr. Zhou, I have only been busy making money these years, but I have not made any contribution to society. Mr. Zhou's actions touched me very much, so I also want to imitate Mr. Zhou and contribute to society."
To contribute to these poor children, I would like to make a donation to your rehabilitation school."
"Well."
Zhou Chen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Chong to actually say such words and donate to the rehabilitation school.
If there is no system task, Zhou Chen will definitely not refuse, but the system task requires him to fund it. If other people are added to the process, he doesn't know how the system will judge, but he will definitely not take the risk.
"Mr. Wang is kind-hearted and admirable, but there is nothing lacking there for the time being. If there is anything lacking in the future, I will not be polite."
Wang Chong sighed: "That's such a pity. I have actually been donating money in the past few years. It's a pity that no one knows where those donations ended up. It's hard to do business now, and it's hard to do charity. It's from the people."
, It sounds nice to use it for the people, but how many people take it seriously?"
Zhou Chen looked at Wang Chong in surprise. In the eyes of many people, most people who engage in real estate are black-hearted businessmen who are unkind for their wealth.
Although this is not the case, there are definitely very few people like Wang Chong who can say "take it from the people and use it for the people".
This couldn't help but make Zhou Chen take a high look at him. Even at this position, he didn't think Wang Chong would talk nonsense just to save face. He must have done it before he made a speech.
"In fact, many charitable funds are good, but they are more complicated. If Mr. Wang really wants to do charity, there are many ways."
Wang Chong became interested and asked: "For example?"
Zhou Chen talked eloquently: "There are too many people in need of help in the country, but even if you want to help, you can't do it all, you have to pay attention to strategy, otherwise things like those reported in the news will happen, and it will cause trouble.
Sao."
Wang Chong agreed very much and said: "Yes, fighting for rice's kindness and promoting rice's hatred, I am also worried about this, so I don't want to be so troublesome."
"Then you can set up a fund yourself to help those in need, such as firefighters, police officers, orphaned children, etc."
"It's a good idea to set up your own fund."
Wang Chong's eyes were slightly bright, not that he had not thought of this, but because he was already very busy with his usual work and had no energy to ask about this.
The reason why he wants to do charity is more for reputation. The reputation of real estate developers is not very good. He wants to use charity to improve his social status.
Of course, he also sincerely wants to do charity, which is much better than those who just want to gain fame.
It doesn't matter why you go there, as long as you can help those in need, it's a good thing.
The two chatted some more about charity funds, and through chatting, they got to know each other a lot.
Suddenly, Wang Chong's face straightened up and he asked Zhou Chen, "I wonder what Mr. Zhou thinks about real estate?"
Zhou Chen thought about it for a moment, and then said: "Huge profits."
Wang Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone has similar views on real estate. They all think that this industry is a huge profit industry, but in fact it is not. This industry is really difficult to do, and the profits are not as big as imagined."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but hehehe in his heart.
He has lived in the previous worlds for so many years. How can he still not understand what the real estate situation is like?
"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic living conditions for human beings. They will never be eliminated no matter what era they are in. Although I have never done real estate, I have learned about this industry because there are many people who have gone bankrupt in real estate. But because of the real estate crisis,
There are also many rich people."
In China, the importance of a house is self-evident. For most people, they don’t have to eat, wear, buy a car, or travel, but they must have a house.
Needless to say about the elderly, many people have lived for decades just to fight for a house.
Not to mention young people, especially men. If you want to get married, it’s really impossible if you don’t have a house. How many women are there in the country who are willing to start from scratch with you?
Therefore, although there are always people in China talking about how good real estate is, in real terms, housing prices have not dropped at all, and even if they have dropped a little, it is minimal.
The difference is that in the past, anyone could make a lot of money in real estate, but now, it is not that simple to make money.
"That was before, but it doesn't work anymore. The state has strict control, and it is even more difficult to get land. Sometimes we spend huge sums of money to get land, but we dare not develop it because of lack of funds, or
Many procedures are not passed, and even large companies are sometimes delayed and have difficulty developing. In serious cases, bankruptcy and liquidation are not uncommon."
“Nowadays, the real estate industry is really becoming more and more difficult to do. Let’s just say that when ordinary people buy a house now, except for those who really can’t afford it and those who can afford it, they are not picky and choose the location.
We choose a location, a school, a hospital, etc., but the land in those places is simply out of the reach of ordinary people."
"The reason why I have been moving to other places over the years is because I really can't get land in the Magic City, so I can only choose other second- and third-tier cities for development. This is also a helpless move."
Zhou Chen heard Wang Chong's complaints and didn't find it strange at all.
As the real estate industry becomes more and more chaotic, the state must of course control the market entry, otherwise it will not be chaos.
Some people follow the rules, but there are also many people who don't, so they must be controlled.
But he also heard the key point. When Wang Chong complained to him, it was probably not just a casual chat, but something he wanted to tell him.
"Although it's hard to say real estate now, it's undeniable that this industry is still very profitable."
Wang Chong's eyes flashed and he asked: "Is Mr. Zhou interested in real estate?"
Zhou Chen was stunned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Wang Chong pursed his lips, organized his words, and then said: "Several pieces of land in Magic City will be auctioned recently. If Mr. Zhou is interested, we can cooperate in development."
"oh?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. He had once been a real estate tycoon and was no stranger to real estate. What surprised him was that Wang Chong actually invited him.
Businessmen are all selfish. If they have the ability to earn all their own profits, they will never give up their profits to others easily.
Now that Wang Chong came to him specifically to try to cooperate, this could only explain one problem, that is, Wang Chong himself had no way to win those lands.
Either there is no money, or there is no confidence...
"Our Zhou family has always only been in the medicinal materials business, but now the society is different. I am interested in any business that can make money. If we can cooperate, how do you want to cooperate with Mr. Wang?"
When Wang Chong saw Zhou Chen's interest, he immediately became energetic. He said, "We can jointly invest in the land, and then I will be responsible for the development. We will share the profits when the time comes."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "According to the development speed you mentioned, it will probably take a long time to get the funds back."
According to what Wang Chong said, he participated in the investment and then handed it over to Wang Chong to develop and construct the building, from purchasing the land to project establishment, architectural design, starting construction and laying foundations, building the building, and selling it.
Damn, how long does this take?
It may not be possible to succeed in three or four years. If it is delayed a little longer, it may be possible in ten or eight years. How can he invest? With this money and his ability, what investment can't make money faster than this?
Wang Chongdao: "Although the interval is relatively long, the profits will definitely be doubled."
Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, I am indeed more interested in real estate, but recently our Huaxing is preparing to expand into other areas and does not have the capital to make large investments; as for me personally, I just acquired a pharmaceutical company not long ago
The company has recently invested in a rehabilitation school, so there is no spare money to invest in real estate."
In fact, he has money and is indeed interested in real estate, but he is unwilling to cooperate with others, let alone give power to others, just as a shareholder.
Wang Chong said with some reluctance: "Mr. Zhou, as long as I can win the land I am interested in, the profit will be unprecedentedly huge. You can consider it again."
This time, many real estate companies were eyeing the piece of land he was interested in. Although he had money, he had made a lot of investments across the country and could not make much money at once. He was afraid that he could not compete with those peers, so
So I tried to find people to cooperate with me everywhere.
The reason why I approached Zhou Chen is because the Zhou family has been operating in the Magic City for many years, and they are definitely the best in the Magic City in terms of their background and connections.
If Zhou Chenlai could be brought in, it would be equivalent to bringing the Zhou family in. With the Zhou family in charge, I'm afraid the local authorities would give it serious consideration.
Zhou Chen pretended to think for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Wang, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have any spare funds to invest."
Seeing that Zhou Chen refused so quickly, Wang Chong was a little anxious and persuaded again: "Mr. Zhou, you also know that real estate is huge profits. If we join forces, we will definitely join forces. We can't find many opponents in the magic city."
, we can take a lot of advantages by then."
But Zhou Chen still didn't listen, and said with a smile: "It's taboo to cross industries, not to mention that I am not the only one who makes the decision in our family. My grandfather has always been in the medicine business. If I go into real estate, he will probably skin me."
."
Hearing that Zhou Chen had carried the old man out, Wang Chong could only swallow back what he wanted to say.
Cooperation was not agreed upon, so the three of them chatted casually for a while before the Wang family and his wife said goodbye and left.
After they left, Zhou Chen smiled casually and said, "You want to take me for granted, haha."
Although he didn't know how big Wang Chong's business was, he was sure that his people were not clean. They said they were trying to get him to invest, but who knew what the real purpose was. He would not be used as a weapon by others.
After Mrs. Wang returned home, she said, "I told you a long time ago that this Zhou Chen looks young and is not that easy to talk to."
Wang Chong said calmly: "Originally, it was just a try. If it didn't work, forget it. It's just a pity. The Zhou family is definitely the top wealthy family in East China. If we can cooperate with them, the company's various businesses will definitely be better.
It’s a pity that it was carried out.”
"Is that land really that difficult to get?" Mrs. Wang asked in confusion.
Wang Chong smiled bitterly and said: "Not only is it difficult to get it, but if it doesn't matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it at all. Many times, even if you have money, it may not be easy to use. What's more, the company has been under great pressure recently and really can't get enough.
funds."
Mrs. Wang: "How about I go find some other ladies and ask, maybe their husbands will be interested?"
"Is that circle of wives of yours reliable?" Wang Chong looked suspicious.
He does not object to his wife's involvement in the circle of wives, but rather approves of it.
Because that way he could build connections, and he also knew that the husbands of the wives in the circle of wives were not simple, but he had never had the opportunity to get in touch with them before.
"Try it."
Misia store!
As an airborne deputy store manager, Daisy is very strict. Because she was airborne, she doesn't know much about the store's situation.
It took her a few days to get a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the store.
The situation of this store is not the best, but it is not bad either. Its monthly performance is not bad, especially since it has many senior members.
As the deputy store manager, I am naturally qualified to check the members in the store, and among these members, 90% are women, with only a few men.
Looking over the past few days, the one that concerned her the most was a man named Zhou Chen.
