Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 866: Do you believe what he said?
"Jiang Hai, I know how much I weigh. Don't say this again in the future."

Shang Yuanming said very calmly.

Hearing what Shang Yuanming said, Chen Jianghai smiled, changed the topic and asked:

"Brother-in-law, was this the reason you called me today?"

Shang Yuanming laughed: "Jiang Hai, I really can't hide anything from you. I really have another thing to ask you for today."

Chen Jianghai said nothing, quietly waiting for Shang Yuanming's next words.

Shang Yuanming came to Chen Jianghai today for a cooperation.

During this time, Haidilao's chain stores have opened in Zhenzhou.

There, Shang Yuanming met a colleague, a fast food business owner.

The boss's name is Qiao Ming. He accidentally saw a McDonald's and the business was booming.

With an idea in his mind, he founded a Chinese-style red sorghum fast food restaurant.

The slogan is also very loud, "Wherever there is McDonald's, there is Red Sorghum."

Chen Jianghai was still somewhat impressed by Qiao Ming.

In this era, as long as you dare to think, dare to do, and persist, you can make a breakthrough.

Speaking of which, Red Sorghum, Huarong Chicken and Wallace, these three brands have indeed shaken the status of McDonald's and KFC in China.

Unfortunately, all three companies failed in the end, leaving only KFC and McDonald's.

The reason is also very simple. The founders of these three companies simply do not have the ability to control such a large company.

At the beginning, the scale is small and can be managed using traditional methods.

However, with continuous development and reaping the dividends of the times, each company has developed rapidly by leaps and bounds, leaving no opportunity for these founders to learn slowly and accumulate experience.

The size of the company has reached a terrifying level in a short period of time.

At this time, it is often a great test of the ability of corporate controllers.

One wrong decision can have a huge chain reaction and even ruin the entire company.

There is no possibility of correction.

Because by the time they realize the problem, it's too late.

Seeing that Chen Jianghai remained silent, Shang Yuanming couldn't help but ask: "Jiang Hai, what do you think about this matter?"

"How does he want to cooperate?" Chen Jianghai asked.

Shang Yuanming quickly told Chen Jianghai the cooperation method.

300 million yuan invested in Hongsorghum, accounting for 20.00% of the shares.

After hearing this number, Chen Jianghai felt that Qiao Ming's price was quite appropriate.

But that doesn’t mean you can invest just because the price is reasonable.

Because it's two different things.

In later generations, Qiao Ming's expansion pace was too great, which eventually led to the break of the capital chain. Branches in various places closed down one after another, and the company's total debt reached more than 3000 million yuan.

Afterwards, Qiao Ming disappeared directly.

If we cooperate with him, it is estimated that the money invested will be wasted in less than two or three years.

In 2000, Qiao Ming reappeared from nowhere and continued to start a business.

But he went astray and illegally raised more than 3000 million yuan, and was sentenced to four years.

There is no hope in cooperating with such people.

Chen Jianghai could tell from Shang Yuanming's tone that he was still very moved.

The only thing to blame is that Qiao Ming shouted the slogan too loudly.

He boasted in front of the media that he would open [-] chain stores around the world by the turn of the millennium.

70.00% is domestic and 30.00% is abroad.

This high-profile behavior attracted nearly a hundred media reports at home and abroad.

At the same time, the three major cable TV stations in the United States all interviewed him.Shang Yuanming must have trusted Qiao Ming so much after knowing this.

It is estimated that without Chen Jianghai, he might have signed a contract with Qiao Ming by now.

Now that Chen Jianghai knows about it, he naturally won't let this happen.

If Haidilao cooperates with Red Sorghum, it will definitely be implicated.

Shang Yuanming had been wronged once before, and it was because of someone else.

Unexpectedly, he didn't learn his lesson this time and trusted Qiao Ming too much.

Fortunately, Shang Yuanming knew enough to ask Chen Jianghai for his opinion.

Otherwise, it will definitely lead to a big mistake.

Chen Jianghai knew that if Shang Yuanming refused this cooperation directly, he would be somewhat unhappy.

"Brother-in-law, I heard he boasted on TV that he would open 2000 chain stores around the world by the year [-]?"

After thinking about it, Chen Jianghai asked coldly.

Hearing this, Shang Yuanming was very excited.

He thought that since Chen Jianghai knew about this, it meant that he was also paying attention to Qiao Ming.

What Shang Yuanming didn't know was that the reason Chen Jianghai knew about this was because someone used red sorghum as a negative example.

Shang Yuanming quickly replied: "Yes, that's what he said. I think Mr. Qiao is a person who dares to think and act, and acts resolutely."

It can be seen that Shang Yuanming admires Qiao Ming very much.

Chen Jianghai smiled slightly, and then asked a question that Shang Yuanming didn't know how to answer.

"Brother-in-law, do you believe what he said?"

Shang Yuanming didn't speak for a long time.

He knew that Chen Jianghai obviously didn't believe Qiao Ming's words when he asked this question.

"Jiang Hai, do you think what he said is false?" Shang Yuanming hesitated.

Chen Jianghai did not answer directly, but said: "Brother-in-law, your Haidilao is also a chain store. How many branches can it open in a year?"

Upon hearing this question, Shang Yuanming suddenly became silent.

Haidilao only opened thirty or forty chain stores a year, which is already very fast.

To open [-] chain stores in five years, the time is really tight.

More importantly, Shang Yuanming knows how troublesome it is to open a chain store.

There's a lot involved.

Because any mistake in any chain store will have a huge impact, especially in the food industry, so we cannot take anything lightly.

If Qiao Ming wants to open [-] chain stores in five years, the workload will be quite large.

At normal speed, this is an impossible task.

Seeing that Shang Yuanming didn't speak, Chen Jianghai continued to ask: "Brother-in-law, if I remember correctly, Qiao Ming adopts a direct-operated store model, not a franchise model, right?"

The direct-operated store model has very high capital requirements. Once there is a problem with capital, it will be a devastating blow to the entire company.

Hearing this, Shang Yuanming already knew what Chen Jianghai was going to say.

Obviously, Chen Jianghai didn't believe that Qiao Ming could make Red Sorghum so big.

Regarding the key points that Chen Jianghai just mentioned, Shang Yuanming thinks they make sense.

He had thought too little before and didn't even notice the danger involved.

If Qiao Ming is not sure enough and blindly expands, the final outcome will definitely be tragic.

"Okay, Jiang Hai, I know what to do. I will go back and reject him now."

After some advice from Chen Jianghai, Shang Yuan clearly knew that his previous thoughts were too naive.
