Chapter 331 Now that I have it, you are starting to dislike this beauty, right?
In September, after the autumnal equinox, the white dew arrives, the swans come, and the air is filled with a slight coolness.
Su Zelin was sitting in Yang Fen's CEO office, drinking Kung Fu tea leisurely with little Yang brother Kang Baohong.
The afternoon sun shines on you through the floor-to-ceiling glass, giving you a feeling of tranquility over time.
Looking at a report on the table, the three giants were all in a good mood.
This is a harvest season, and it is the same for the new century.
The number of stores in New Century has exceeded 10,000!
This is a milestone achievement!
The largest number of stores are in developed provinces or municipalities, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu regions, Yanjing, eastern Guangdong, etc. After all, these areas have strong consumption power.
Among them, those cities and towns with many universities have made important contributions. After all, at the beginning of the new century, it started with universities and then gradually expanded its territory to urban areas.
Although the performance in the urban area has already surpassed the former, the company in the university market will definitely not give up.
After all, these young people who are about to enter the society will also be a very important consumer force in the future. If they win their loyalty through service and word-of-mouth when they are in college, the future harvest will be very rich.
Therefore, instead of looking down upon the decline of the university market, the company pays more attention to it, and the stores in each school always have the most activities.
The speed of store increase was really beyond Su Zelin's expectation. You must know that at the time of the Spring Festival Gala, New Century only had more than 2,000 stores, but it quadrupled in just over half a year. This is a bit scary. p>
Originally, the gangster estimated that he would have to wait until next year to achieve the goal of over 10,000 stores.
Although the company pays great attention to efficiency and keeps opening directly-operated stores, it is absolutely impossible to complete this task by relying solely on directly-operated stores. Franchise stores have become the biggest contributor to this milestone.
Su Zelin underestimated the power of the Spring Festival Gala, and the exclusive sponsorship program for red envelopes he designed was an unprecedented success. It improved the company's reputation far more than any other brand in the past. It also won the favor and trust of many investors, and it can be achieved every day.
Received a large number of franchise applications.
Then the implementation of the "Thousand Counties Plan" was launched, adding fuel to the fire, and the number of stores exceeded five digits.
The explosive growth of stores, the year-on-year financial statements, and the improvement of corporate performance and profits are all not to mention.
After all, before October last year, New Century's territory was only in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu regions, but now stores have opened in every province, city, and even county towns across the country.
"According to this new store development speed, no surprise we will be able to open a township market next year!"
Brother Yang is beaming with joy.
Lin'an university market in the first year, Lin'an market in the second year, provincial market in the third year, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Lu region markets in the fourth year, and national market in the fifth year...
When he first started partnering with Su Zelin, Brother Yang was surprised by Su Zelin's super-fast pace. He felt it was too fast, unstable, and even a little worried. However, gradually he got used to this pace. If he slowed down, it would be better.
I feel overwhelmed.
Kang Baohong was also very excited.
When he opened his first Caiyuan store, he never dared to dream that five years later there would be more than 10,000 stores in the new century!
This is simply a miracle!
"There are now towns in our country. If every town has a New Century store, we should have no problem with the number of stores exceeding 30,000 by then!"
Kang Baohong looks forward to the future with excitement.
When this topic was mentioned, the three of them chatted about their initial thoughts on the town-level market.
Although it is still early, it is always good to plan ahead.
After talking about business, Kang Baohong said again: "Mr. Yang, Su Zong, if you are free tomorrow night, come to my place for a meal."
"Oh, the decoration is finished. Are you ready to move into your new home?"
Yang Fen asked casually.
The "dormitory" Kang Baohong mentioned naturally refers to the staff apartment, not the house he bought outside.
The employee apartments have been delivered long ago, and many of the employees who have obtained quotas and completed the loan procedures have begun decoration. During this time, we have heard one after another about people who have moved into new houses.
"Well, I won't hold a banquet this time. Just have a meal with my family and my best friends."
This is his second house, and Kang Baohong is not as excited as he was when he dreamed of housing during his first internship. Besides, it is not difficult for him to buy a house now.
"Okay, we must come then!"
Su Zelin nodded: "I will do it later, but it will be almost next month, haha."
The gangster is not in a hurry to renovate the house. Although he still lives in a rented house, there are good gay friends and Xiao Yanzi there. The two young lovers who have known each other since high school usually have a nice dinner together occasionally.
Brother Yang is not in a hurry. Like Kang Baohong, he has bought a house outside. The staff apartment is mainly for the convenience of taking a break at noon after moving to the new headquarters. However, it is still in Dingsheng Building, which is a bit far from the new headquarters. Even if it is renovated
Fortunately, I won’t live there for the time being, so I might as well go home and be closer.
"Bring your wives with you, let's be lively!"
Kang Baohong warned again.
The seemingly unintentional words made Su Zelin's heart move: "Chu Jie will also come by then, right? You guys are done?"
"Well, it's done."
Kang Baohong grinned, a little embarrassed: "Just a few days ago, she agreed to be my girlfriend."
"Oh, congratulations, that's double happiness!"
Brother Yang patted Kang Baohong on the shoulder and felt happy for him.
"Haha, okay."
Kang Baohong was cheerful.
When Kang Yulian asked him to go on a blind date, the boy was actually a little resistant. He was thinking about his career. Unexpectedly, he suddenly saw the right woman and felt that the woman was really good. After falling in love, he became more energetic at work. Kang Baohong secretly thought
I am glad that I listened to Su Zelin at that time, otherwise I would have missed a good wife.
In the process of his pursuit of Chu Jie, "Lao Jianghu" Su Zelin also came up with a lot of ideas, which made the other party nod to become his girlfriend so quickly.
After get off work the next day, Su Zelin drove with Qin Shiqing to Building A, the employee apartment building of the new headquarters in Binjiang District.
The owners of this apartment are either managers, directors or their deputies of various departments of the company, or they hold important positions such as engineers. Each unit has three households on one floor. The houses of Yang Fen, Su Zelin and Kang Baohong are located in the same unit on the top floor.
They are neighbors.
"Ding dong, ding dong..."
The doorbell rang a few times, and it was Kang Baohong who came out and opened the door.
"Mr. Su, Qin Shiqing, you are here!"
"Mr. Kang, happy new home, good luck, everything goes well!"
Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing both handed over big red envelopes, showing that they are familiar with each other and are indispensable for their worldliness.
"Thank you. I'm very happy if you can show your favor. Why are you being so polite? Please come in!"
Having said that, Kang Baohong still accepted the red envelope. After all, it was a heartfelt gift and blessing.
Putting on slippers, the two of them followed him into the living room.
A total of more than 170 square meters of house, two living rooms and five rooms, decorated in Chinese style, almost all wooden furniture, huanghuali sofa, rosewood coffee table, mahogany dining table and TV cabinet...
Su Zelin is quite knowledgeable about precious solid wood furniture. In his previous life, he had a suite decorated in Chinese style, and he bought almost all the most expensive solid wood in the world.
The first house Kang Baohong bought was decorated in European style. At that time, this guy still had a bit of a nouveau riche mentality. He felt that the European style was the best in the world and it was a symbol of wealthy people.
But with the rise of the new century and the improvement of his status, he came into contact with more and more big bosses. Only then did he realize that European style was no longer so popular among this group in the 21st century, and traditional Chinese style was more popular.<
/p>
For example, when drinking tea in a certain boss's office, the other person will pretend to say what kind of wood this coffee table is made of, and how many W's it has, which sounds very cool.
Then other bosses also echoed and talked in various ways. For example, their own wooden sofas, dining tables, beds or coffee tables also need many w.
At this time, Kang Baohong was very depressed because he couldn't talk to him.
His home is decorated in European style, and the furniture is indeed not that expensive.
Over time, Kang Baohong's taste gradually changed under the influence, and he became more obsessed with Chinese style and solid wood furniture, so he took advantage of the decoration of the staff apartment to satisfy his interest.
But in Su Zelin's view, he can only be regarded as a junior player at best.
At a glance, the gangster can tell that the material quality of these wooden furniture is only average.
That sofa set is a little more expensive. It might cost ten thousand dollars based on the current domestic market price.
Ordinary people may think that a sofa worth RMB 100,000 is already a sky-high price, but in the eyes of senior players in the industry, it is nothing.
Take ebony as an example. The material of high-quality ebony alone can be sold for more than tens of millions per ton in later generations, while ordinary ones can only be sold for tens of thousands per ton.
Therefore, even for the same kind of solid wood furniture, the price is very different.
Even if your financial resources are slightly weak, you can’t even afford high-end games.
Kang Baohong's current financial resources do not allow him to become a high-end player, although he has long been a billionaire based on his shares.
But his net worth is just his net worth after all. His main savings come from the high salary he received as general manager and dividends from small shareholders in the past few years, especially in the past year or two, which has increased dramatically.
Wealth accumulation in the new century is like a snowball. It is relatively small at first, but it gets bigger and bigger. The company's profits and shareholder dividends also reach peaks again and again as the market develops and the number of stores increases.
This rapid growth trend will continue until the layout of the town-level market is completed and the channel network of 30,000 stores across the country is completely completed, and then it will gradually stabilize.
There may be some growth in the future, but it will definitely not have the terrifying momentum of the past.
By that time, Kang Baohong’s income will enable him to become a high-end solid wood furniture player.
"Mr. Su!"
As soon as Su Zelin appeared, an old man sitting on the sofa came over to greet him.
He is thin and short, with a slight hunchback, dark skin, wrinkles on his forehead, gray hair on his temples, sparse stubble mixed with silver threads, calloused hands like rough pine bark, and his whole body is covered with age.
There are traces of it, and he looks like he has experienced many vicissitudes of life. He must have endured a lot of hardships when he was young.
Kang Lixiang, Kang Baohong’s father.
The two have met before.
Just when Kang Baohong bought his first house and moved.
Rural people attach great importance to the ritual of moving into a new home, so family members naturally have to participate, so Kang Baohong ran back to pick up his parents.
In fact, the two elders have long wanted to visit their son in Lin'an, but they have not had the opportunity to go to school since they were young. They lack education, are illiterate, and do not even know how to take a train, so they have never been able to come.
Not long after their son moved to his new home, they went back again. Although Kang Baohong always tried to persuade him to stay, he even asked the two elders to consider moving here.
However, they all said that they were not used to living in the city, and they didn’t know many people. They had nothing to do all day long, so it was better to live in their hometown, so they didn’t stay in the end.
Kang Baohong had never dared to date a leader or the daughter of his boss from a well-off family before. He was also considering his family situation and was afraid that the woman would dislike him.
On his first blind date with Chu Jie, he showed off his cards.
If you can't even accept it from your own family, it's a waste of time.
Fortunately, although Chu Jie was the leader's daughter, she had no objection to it. She also said that her father, the head of the Food and Drug Administration, was also from a rural background. Because of this, Kang Baohong quickly developed a liking for this girl, and later he often fell in love with her.
He dated her and became his girlfriend.
"Mr. Su, we, Baohong, are grateful to you for taking care of us!"
The woman beside Kang Lixiang also said respectfully.
This is Kang Baohong’s old mother Miao Guilan.
Both elders know that Su Zelin is actually the noble man who made their son prosperous, so they have special respect for him.
Su Zelin said quickly: "Uncle Kang, Auntie, you are trying to offend me like this. I am the same generation as Baohong, just call me Xiao Su!"
After exchanging a few words, we each took our seats.
There are three people sitting on the sofa, a man and a woman, two middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, and a young woman.
Needless to say, the woman is Kang Baohong’s girlfriend Chu Jie.
She is not very tall, she is a small and exquisite type, with a round face, very blessed features, low eyebrows, and a soft voice. She does not look like a tigress.
As for the middle-aged man and woman, the man is Chu Jie's father, Chu Junyi, the head of the Lin'an Food and Drug Administration, and a classmate of Dai Chuangxing. It was because of this relationship that Kang Baohong had the opportunity to go on a blind date with Chu Jie.
The woman is naturally his lover, Chu Jie’s mother.
Because they met on a blind date, and the woman's father was also his uncle's classmate. Although the relationship had just been established not long ago, Kang Baohong still invited the two elders of the Chu family to his new home this time. He also took this opportunity to meet his parents and express his feelings at the same time.
I treat this relationship very seriously.
Su Zelin has a wide network of contacts in Lin'an. He knows many leaders from the government and other agencies and departments. However, he has never met this top leader. After all, this department has no intersection with New Century's business.
No matter what, I still exchanged pleasantries with the other party. After all, he was a classmate of Vice Dean Dai, and he would probably become Kang Baohong’s father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future.
Not long after, Brother Yang and Sister Yang also came. Brother Yang went to pick up his wife after get off work, so Su Zelin and his wife were a little late.
The last guests to arrive were Dai Chuangxing and Kang Yulian.
When moving to a new home this time, in addition to his own family, Kang Baohong invited his girlfriend's family, Su Zelin and Brother Yang, and Vice President Dai and his wife, all of whom are the people with whom he has the closest relationship now and will have the closest relationship in the future.
We haven’t invited ordinary friends or company colleagues, so it’s just like a family dinner.
As soon as Kang Yulian arrived, her eyes fell on Qin Shiqing next to Su Zelin.
If nothing unexpected happens, this girl should be Xiao Su’s childhood sweetheart.
She is such a pretty and pretty girl, no wonder she was declined when she introduced him to a blind date.
She and Xiao Su are indeed talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match!
"Shi Qing, this is Dean Dai and her lover Aunt Kang from the School of Finance. They are also Kang Baohong's uncle and aunt. They looked after me a lot when I was studying. After graduation, I often went to their house to have dinner."
"This is my girlfriend, Qin Shiqing, who also works in New Century!"
Su Zelin briefly introduced both parties.
"Dean Dai, Aunt Kang, hello!"
Qin Shiqing greeted politely.
She has a gentle and quiet personality, and her soft-spoken words are pleasant to the ears, making it easy to win the favor of others.
Vice President Dai nodded slightly at her, while Kang Yulian smiled and said: "Haha, girl, I heard that you and Xiao Su are neighbors. We have known each other since we were children, right?"
"Yes, Auntie, Zelin and I are not only neighbors, but also classmates from elementary school to high school."
Qin Shiqing smiled and said.
"This is fate, you two are such a perfect match!"
"Thank you, aunt!"
Although it was a bit regretful that she could not be Su Zelin's matchmaker, after meeting Qin Shiqing, Kang Yulian realized that the girls she had planned to introduce before were really not as good as them.
Even some leaders' daughters with good conditions are inferior in appearance, temperament and conversation.
After asking a few questions, I learned that Kang Yulian was a top student who graduated from Zhejiang University. Kang Yulian was completely relieved that her matchmaking had not been successful.
The vice-president’s wife has almost treated Su Zelin as a godson these years, and naturally hopes that he can find a good wife.
Qin Shiqing not only has outstanding appearance and temperament, but also has a good personality. She is a virtuous and virtuous type. She loves the house and the people. The more she looks at Qin Shiqing, the more she likes her. He talked to her for a long time and even asked her to come with Su Zelin when she has time in the future.
Eat at home.
After finishing the meal, Su Zelin could tell that Chu Jie was indeed a good character. She had a good temper and was very patient. She was diligent and could help with housework. She was also very kind to the two elders of the Kang family who were from rural areas and were a bit old-fashioned.
It's like pretending.
It seems that Baohong has found a good wife!
Chu Junyi is also very satisfied with Kang Baohong.
He also comes from a grassroots background, so his family background is not very important.
Chu Jie's mother is a bit pickier, but Kang Baohong is the general manager and shareholder of New Century, and this status is more than worthy of her daughter, so she has no objection to her prospective son-in-law.
As for the two elders of the Kang family, let alone Chu Jie. Even if Kang Baohong becomes successful, things are different from the past, but they still feel that it is definitely a high achievement for their son to find a leader in the provincial capital.
After dinner and tea at Kang Baohong's house, Su Zelin and Brother Yang left.
After all, I am just a partner and friend, not a family member, so it is difficult for the two parties to discuss family matters while others are left behind.
On the way back to the rental house, Qin Shiqing said happily: "Xiao Linzi, Aunt Kang said tonight that we are a match made in heaven, destined by God!"
"What kind of fate is this? Someone just ignored Qingbei and signed up for Zhejiang University, and then he followed me like a ghost... Oops."
Before she finished speaking, Qin Shiqing pinched the soft flesh around her waist.
The girl's eyes widened and she said angrily: "What's lingering? It's a book where a beautiful woman discovered that someone had a crush on me. After graduating from high school, she sold all her books, but only kept the Chinese book that I made a handmade cover for him.
At that time, I felt that this guy was really pitiful. I liked him but didn’t dare to say it out loud, so I signed up for Zhejiang University out of soft-heartedness!"
"Ah, you discovered it?"
Su Zelin is a little embarrassed.
Qin Shiqing has never mentioned this matter herself.
She should have discovered it when she was sorting out her drawers, because the Queen Mother often asked Qin Shiqing to help her pack things.
"Tsk, can your thoughts be hidden from this beauty's piercing eyes?"
Qin Shiqing looked disdainful, and then pretended to be fierce: "Now that I have it, you are starting to dislike this beauty, right?"
The intensity of his hands increased as he spoke.
The bastard quickly begged for mercy.
"Daughter-in-law, stop pinching me. If you pinch me again, it will break!"
"I want to pinch you, so that you dare to despise me and say that I am still haunted, hum!"
"How could I? I'm just kidding. How could I dislike such a good wife? I won't let her go even to death!"
"That's about it!"
"..."
The sound of flirting came from the car, which is the sour smell of love.
