Chapter 32: Since it is a listed company, it is easy to handle
"It sounds really good, Qianxi. Have you seen 'Happy Girls'? It's the one held on Mango Channel. I think your singing is better than many of theirs." Xie Qiao said seriously.
Xu Linshen thought so: "That's right. They sing nothing, and they are so popular. If Qianxi you go to participate, you will definitely become a big star."
Xiao Qianxi didn't take it seriously, and said casually: "It was only the first show, and the reputation had not yet risen, so the participants were all amateurs. Now that the show is popular, the level of contestants must be much better than last year."
Xu Lin scratched his head: "Yeah."
Xie Qiao casually said that singing and becoming a star is still too far away for them.
The group of people sang until 5:30 in the afternoon. Just as they were leaving the box, Xiao Qianxi's phone suddenly rang.
"It's Lao Qin calling, right? Answer it quickly, answer it quickly."
Under the ambiguous looks between Xie Qiao and Xu Lin, Xiao Qianxi answered the phone.
"Hey, I'm with Xie Qiao, Xu Lin and the others. Okay, then I'll ask them."
Covering the phone, Xiao Qianxi asked: "He said we haven't seen each other for a long time and asked if you have time to have a meal and get together."
When Xu Lin heard this, he immediately said: "This opportunity to have dinner with a billionaire cannot be missed. You must go."
Xie Qiao hesitated: "Will it disturb you..."
"What's the point of disturbing you?" Xiao Qianxi took away the hand covering the microphone: "If they have time, wherever they are, we'll come right over."
"Okay, I understand."
Along the way, Xu Lin had already begun to think about what kind of luxurious place to have a big meal, but he found that Xiao Qianxi drove straight to the alley at the back door of the school.
In a food stall near Beiqing.
After Xu Lin saw Qin Hao, he complained: "Old Qin, you are too stingy. You are already a billionaire, so why don't you ask us to do it?"
"Where did you hear this? How come you are a billionaire?" Qin Hao was amused for a while.
"Isn't it true? I saw it reported in many newspapers and portal websites." Xu Lin asked doubtfully.
Qin Hao shook his head and said: "One billion U.S. dollars is just the valuation of Tesco. When can it be realized and can it be realized? That's two questions. And even if it is one billion U.S. dollars, it is not 10 billion yuan, let alone mine.
Shares have also been diluted."
"Those reports are just for publicity. If I cooperate, you really believe them."
Xu Lin's face was full of regret: "Ah, I also said that I would like to take a photo with you later, and I can sell it for a good price in the future."
"miser!"
Qin Hao and the other three unanimously criticized Xu Lin.
Just after ordering the barbecue, Xie Qiao's cell phone rang, and it turned out it was Qin Chuan.
"Qin Chuan also wants to come..."
"Okay, there are so many people and it's so lively, so let him come with us."
Not long after, Qin Chuan, who was as skinny as a monkey, came with steps that he didn't recognize.
"Can you walk properly and don't act like a street kid?" Xie Qiao patted Qin Chuan angrily.
Only then did Qin Chuan become honest.
Xu Lin asked curiously: "Qin Chuan, what have you been busy with recently? You haven't shown up for a long time."
"Hey, I don't know." Qin Chuan straightened his clothes and stood up with a look of dismay on his face: "I need to introduce myself again here. The person standing in front of you now is not some street kid Qin Chuan.
Please call me: Mr. Qin."
"How about you, Mr. Qin?" Xie Qiao was the first to stand up and cause trouble.
Xiao Qianxi and Xu Lin were also happy.
Qin Chuan didn't take it seriously and continued to sneer: "Don't look at people through cracks in the door and look down on them. Do you know how many 'Dingjian Pancake' stores there are now?"
"How many?"
"Eighteen! This doesn't count the stalls in the Beiqing Canteen. My brother is now earning 100,000 yuan a month. Please be more polite from now on."
Xu Lin's eyes widened: "How much?"
"One hundred thousand a month?" Xie Qiao was also a little dumbfounded.
Qin Chuan was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of the two of them. He put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and pointed his nostrils in the sky: "Look at the way you have never seen the world. Believe it or not, by this time next year, I will be a veritable multimillionaire."
"Is it so profitable to sell pancakes now?" Xu Lin felt that his outlook on life was greatly impacted.
Hearing what she said, Qin Chuan was not happy: "What a pancake stall? We are a chain store now. When we open more stores next year, I will open the franchise. Then we can just make money while lying down."
Since the SARS epidemic last year, Qin Chuan opened his first pancake shop. With Dalong's craftsmanship and novel tastes, the business in the shop has become more and more prosperous. Following Qin Hao's instructions, Qin Chuan used recharge
After the card absorbed part of the cash flow, it opened several branches one after another, and the business was very good.
In a whole year, "Dingjian Pancake" has flourished in the capital. With eighteen branches, the combined monthly income can be divided into one hundred thousand yuan between him and Dalong. Of course, this money is actually not available at all.
It's in their hands because they want to continue to open other branches.
"Hey, we've been making trouble together for a long time, but you haven't received any money at all, and you're talking about a monthly income of 100,000." Xu Lin couldn't help complaining when he heard this.
"that is."
Qin Chuan said unconvinced: "The money on the books is also money. When the company has money on the books, it can be divided."
"What do you think, Lao Qin?"
This time Qin Hao did not throw cold water on him: "Qin Chuan did a good job this time, keep working hard."
Just when Qin Chuan was proud, he heard Qin Hao say slowly: "Why do you say that the pancake shop also owns 30% of my shares? Don't forget to notify me when the dividends are paid."
Qin Chuan was like a deflated ball in an instant, causing Xie Qiao and Xu Lin to tease him.
"It makes you so blind."
"That's right, your achievements are still in front of Lao Qin. He has a net worth of tens of billions but keeps a low profile."
Qin Chuan looked at Qin Hao with a blank expression.
"You don't know yet, do you?"
"Know what?"
"E-Gou has just completed its Series A financing, with a valuation of one billion U.S. dollars."
Qin Chuan's eyes widened: "One billion U.S. dollars? I remember, didn't Tesco just go online two years ago? Is it worth so much?"
Xie Qiao hummed and said, "You don't understand this. What I invest in is not the present, but the future of Tesco and the infinite possibilities of the Chinese Internet."
In an instant, Qin Chuan became honest. Compared with one billion US dollars, his dozens of pancake restaurants were nothing.
Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi looked at each other and smiled.
While they were talking, the owner of the barbecue restaurant was already serving the skewers. The group of people were drinking cold beers and eating skewers, as if they were back in time when they were freshmen in college.
Xu Lin's face was red from drinking and he was tipsy: "Do you still remember the night we just went to college?"
"How dare you say that? The germs you brought almost took away all four of us in the dormitory. We had to wear masks in and out of the girls' dormitory for a week." Xie Qiao patted Xu Lin's thigh.
Make complaints.
Xiao Qianxi also drank a lot and laughed loudly: "I have never encountered anything so embarrassing in my life."
Xu Lin chuckled: "You can't blame me entirely. Who knew that my dad didn't give me sex? I am also a victim. Well, I called him back after I was discharged and scolded him severely."
As he said that, Xu Lin suddenly sighed: "The one who has the deepest memory must be Wang Ying. I guess she will never eat fungi again in her life."
"I don't know how the eldest lady is doing in the UK."
Xie Qiao patted Xu Lin on the shoulder: "Anyway, there must be no fungi in the UK."
"Haha~~~" The two burst out laughing, with tears in their eyes.
"Unknowingly, we are all juniors and will be seniors in the second half of next year. I thought four years of college would be very long, but I didn't expect that it would be much faster than three years of high school."
"Yeah, I really don't want to graduate."
In the end, both Xie Qiao and Xu Lin drank too much. Qin Hao and Qin Chuan first sent them back to the dormitory, and then went home.
As soon as she got home, before she even closed the door, Xiao Qianxi rushed towards him and kissed Qin Hao for a while.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Qianxi's movements paused, but she was not completely drunk. The most obvious improvement in attending the banquet with Qin Hao, apart from her English, was her ability to drink. A few bottles of beer could not get her drunk.
"How do you know I'm worried?"
Qin Hao gently hugged Xiao Qianxi's soft waist: "After all, we have been together for so many years. If I can't feel this, it's not in vain."
"Humph, you have a conscience." Xiao Qianxi snorted softly and rubbed her smooth cheek against Qin Hao's chest.
"Have you contacted Wang Ying?"
Okay, here comes another proposition, right?
"How many times have we chatted on MSN? What happened?"
Xiao Qianxi took the initiative to put her arms around Qin Hao's neck and said softly: "I must have made a lot of jokes with your clients. Sometimes I was thinking that Wang Ying would definitely perform better than me on such occasions.
"
"Why are you so sentimental today, just because Xu Lin mentioned Wang Ying?" Qin Hao asked doubtfully.
Xiao Qianxi shook her head: "When I invited Xie Qiao and Xu Lin to dinner at noon, I met Yang Cheng."
"Oh, what did he tell you?" Qin Hao frowned.
"He said, let me keep a good eye on you so that you don't go out and cause harm to others." Xiao Qianxi's slender fingers kept drawing circles on Qin Hao's chest, as if pointing.
"So, who did you harm outside?"
Qin Hao secretly scolded Yang Cheng: You boy, just wait for me!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I can't possibly provoke those vulgar fans around him, right?"
Xiao Qianxi snorted: "What about Wang Ying?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Hao's face: "Isn't it true that the eldest ladies have all gone to England? Where am I going to cause trouble? Don't think so wildly."
"Um."
Although Xiao Qianxi agreed, there was a trace of worry in her eyes. She was not a fool. Judging from Qin Hao's behavior, he must have a good impression of Wang Ying.
Although Wang Ying went to the UK, she would come back one day. Asking herself, if the competition is fair, Xiao Qianxi feels that she does not have any advantage.
She has never been a very confident person, and Wang Ying is too perfect.
At this moment, Xiao Qianxi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
…
Another day, Qin Hao did not go to school with Xiao Qianxi, but came directly to the company. Originally, he rarely went to school. After Tesco's A-round financing caused a sensation, he no longer had to worry about anyone getting stuck.
of attendance.
Anyway, he got an A in every final exam, so the teachers in Beiqing just turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice.
"Eileen, sort out the information on the Yang Group. The sooner the better, thank you."
"OK."
Liu Qiangdong was a little curious: "The Yang Group's business seems to be incompatible with ours, right?"
"Maybe we can socialize in the future."
Qin Hao said meaningfully that when Tesco just went online, the Yang Group gave him a stumbling block. The reason why it has not touched it is that on the one hand, it is not strong enough, and on the other hand, Qin Hao is busy with the development of Tesco and has no plans to do so.
Take care of your time.
As a result, he hadn't caused trouble for the Yang Group, but Yang Cheng had caused trouble for him, so don't blame Qin Hao for being rude.
Liu Qiangdong didn’t take it seriously. He came here to ask for money. After all, Tesco had just received US$150 million in financing, and JD Logistics just happened to continue to use funds to expand its scale.
"No Brother Dong, I just raised 150 million and you asked for 15 million US dollars. How dare you ask?"
Liu Qiangdong touched his chin in embarrassment: "That would be fine with 10 million U.S. dollars, otherwise E-commerce is developing so fast and our logistics and distribution can't keep up."
"If you want to be nice, it's only 5 million US dollars, and you won't get a penny more." Qin Hao said angrily.
"No, Mr. Qin's $5 million is really not enough. According to your request, JD Logistics will open door-to-door delivery services to all first- and second-tier cities in the country starting in March this year. We have hired more than 1,000 couriers alone. Anyway, we will continue to
Give more.”
"Okay, then it's 8 million U.S. dollars, and there won't be a penny more."
Qin Hao also knows that setting up logistics now is a costly job, and using Tesco's money to invest in JD Logistics is also a good thing for Qin Hao, which can further increase his control over JD Logistics.
The reason for this back and forth was mainly to reduce Liu Qiangdong's defensiveness.
After getting the money, Liu Qiangdong left happily.
Not long after, secretary Eileen walked in with a pile of documents.
"Mr. Qin, the latest information on the Yang Group is in it."
Yang's Group has a wide range of businesses, but its two core businesses are real estate and department stores. Among them, Yang's Real Estate is also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with a market value of HK$12 billion. Although Yang's Department Store
It is not listed on the market, but there are more than 20 chain shopping malls across the country, and they are all in the core business districts of first- and second-tier cities.
"This kid really got the script of a winner in life right from the moment he was born."
Qin Hao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Since it is a listed company, it will be easy to handle.
"Eileen, help me book a ticket to Hong Kong."
"But Mr. Qin, your schedule for these two days..."
"Push it for me, or arrange a meeting in Hong Kong."
"Okay, Mr. Qin."
In fact, before 2008, real estate companies in mainland China generally had a difficult time. On the one hand, the 9/11 incident had a huge impact on the global financial market. For industries like real estate where cash is king, it caused a big impact.
Secondly, the mainland central bank has just issued an interest rate hike announcement at the end of October, which has attracted a large amount of private capital into banks, making financing for the real estate industry difficult.
On the day the central bank's interest rate hike announcement was issued, all mainland real estate companies listed on the Hong Kong stock market fell sharply.
Yang's Real Estate fell by 8% in one day, and its market value evaporated by nearly HK$1 billion.
