Chapter 520
After successful bidding for the Olympic Games, many businesses that took the Olympic bus naturally became popular, becoming winners of this national event and receiving generous rewards.
Among them, Hamburger King took advantage of the Olympic bid and became famous across the country with the advertisement of "Victory China".
As for the domestic market, although it is not as good as KFC and McDonald's, Burger King has caught up with Dicos, which entered the Chinese market in the mid-1990s, and is sitting in the third place in the Western fast food industry.
Many people realize that a chain catering company with huge potential has entered the national market from Taidong.
There are those who seek cooperation, those who compete fiercely, those who watch coldly, and those who want to take the opportunity to seek benefits.
The Sanlian Real Estate founding celebration was held at Da Chuang Port, University Town, on July 15. Many famous figures came to the business community in Tianquan South, and even Fan Yunming, general manager of Guangmei Electric Appliances Taidong District, came to congratulate him personally.
The two companies fought to the death in the market, but they were still harmonious on the surface.
Bai Sheng of Shuntai Investment Company, as one of the investors and shareholders, will naturally not be absent.
Moreover, I knew early in the morning that Sanlian Real Estate invited many local companies in the university town, one of which was called Lu's Catering Company.
Bai Sheng has been paying attention to this company recently. For private enterprises in the catering industry in the province, the development speed is definitely the fastest, and the scale is almost on the front line. It is said that the turnover is also very high.
No wonder people like He Quanzhong are targeting Lu's catering. This kind of company is clearly the legendary cash cow.
Shuntai Investment cannot afford a company of this size, but with the support of Wanwan’s large investors, you can try it.
If you take a try, the car might change from a Mercedes-Benz to a Rolls-Royce.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests invited by Sanlian Real Estate were temporarily gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the office building, and there was a formal lunch at noon.
Entering the first floor lobby, Bai Sheng quickly found a tall and strong young man. The other person was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a slightly honest face. He chatted with Fan Yunming of Guangmei Electric Appliances, which should be Lu Dong, whom he had heard of from others.
The boss of the Lu's catering company!
It was not very good to go over rashly. Bai Sheng thought about it for a while and saw Chu Yuxiang, who was in charge of external relations in Sanlian, so he looked over.
"Manager Chu." Bai Sheng knew Sanlian's executives because he invested in Sanlian Real Estate: "Ask you something."
Chu Yuxiang smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, please tell me."
Bai Sheng slightly adjusted the direction, pointed to the side where the tall young man was, and asked, "Manager Chu, is that Lu Dong from Lu's catering?"
"It's him." Chu Yuxiang asked, "Mr. Bai also knows him?"
Bai Sheng took back his hand and said, "Lü's catering is in full swing. It seems that it is the number one chain catering company in Taidong. Who else in Quannan business district doesn't know that there is a person like Lu Dong?"
Chu Yuxiang looked over there: "When it comes to young entrepreneurs, Lu Dong is indeed on the list of Quannan Pai?"
Bai Sheng asked, "Sanlian invites him, are you familiar with him?"
Chu Yuxiang replied: "Know."
"Can you introduce it?" Bai Sheng asked again.
"Of course." Chu Yuxiang walked over there and asked specifically: "Why did Mr. Bai suddenly want to know Lu Dong?"
Bai Sheng said half-truely: "I'm an investment."
Chu Yuxiang knew it and saw Fan Yunming who was from Guangmei Electric Appliances and went to another place, and hurriedly took Bai Sheng over.
"Hello, Mr. Lu." Chu Yuxiang took the initiative to greet him, shook hands with Lu Dong, and said directly: "Introduce a friend to know you. This is Mr. Bai Sheng, who is from Quannan Shuntai Investment."
Lu Dong looked at him briefly and found that the person who came was not tall, about forty years old, had a slightly bald forehead and was wearing a pair of glasses.
Bai Sheng took the initiative to shake hands with Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu, your name is well-known. Today I will be lucky to know you in my life."
Hearing this varied words, Lu Dong subconsciously changed to Mandarin: "Hello, Mr. Bai, I'm happy to know you."
He had never seen this person before, nor had he heard from others, Shuntai Investment also had a very strange name.
Chu Yuxiang just recommended and automatically left.
Bai Sheng saw that there was no one around and said, "I heard that the headquarters of General Manager Lu is also here?"
Lu Dong pointed to the east: "In Building No. 3, it is incomparable to Sanlian, just an ordinary writing room."
Bai Sheng said: "I have paid attention to Mr. Lu's catering company recently, and the development speed is amazing. It won't take long to get to the top spot in the province."
Everyone says good things, and Lu Dong is very polite: "Master Chengbai's Jiyan."
Bai Sheng gradually guided the topic in the desired direction: "I heard that Mr. Zhang invited Mr. Lu to invest in Sanlian Real Estate? Mr. Lu refused?"
It is not clear about the specific details. Zhang Tao has never said it carefully to the outside world, but Zhang Tao mentioned the rejection of Lu Dong of Lu's catering.
In Bai Sheng's opinion, Lu Dong let this opportunity go in vain, because he must have limited funds, so he specifically mentioned this matter.
Lu Dong would not take the initiative to say what he was with Sanlian Zhang Tao, and he would not be able to say what he was worried about Sanlian Real Estate. He could only deal with it: "Lü's Catering has just started for more than two years, and the funds in his hand should be focused on the catering industry. Other industries will not consider it for the time being."
Bai Sheng's words further moved closer to investment: "Indeed, funding issues plagued the development of many companies."
Lu Dong smiled and remembered Chu Yuxiang's introduction. The boss of Shuntai Investment said, "The main reason is that I don't have the energy to take care of other things."
In addition to Lu's Catering, there is also Lujia Village. Not to mention anything else, at least the two companies each have 10% shares.
Bai Sheng directly ignored Lu Dong's words and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm going to say that I am an investor and I am very optimistic about the future of Lu's catering company..."
As soon as these words were said, how could Lu Dong not understand? This is an investor who is interested in Lu's Catering Company.
Although Lu Dong did not consider accepting foreign investment for the time being, he would not have had a quarrel with the investors holding funds. After the other party stopped talking, he said politely: "I thank Mr. Bai for his kindness. If the company needs it, I will definitely consider it."
It sounds nice, but in fact it is just a polite refusal. Bai Sheng could hear it, but when he met for the first time, he could not say anything more. He immediately took out his business card and handed it to Lu Dong with both hands: "Mr. Lu needs it, you can call me at any time."
Lu Dong solemnly put away his business card and changed himself: "Thank you, Mr. Bai."
Bai Sheng couldn't help but say: "Mr. Lu is so polite. I hope Mr. Lu can give Shuntai an investment opportunity in the future."
Lu Dong said a few more words to him.
People have a good attitude and smile, and in public, Lu Dong naturally talks and laughs.
Of course, investment opportunities and other things are a different story.
After Bai Sheng went to another place, Lu Dong originally wanted to say goodbye, but Fan Yunming left before. It would be annoying to stay here as a partner of Guangmei Electric Appliances.
Unexpectedly, I met Zhang Tao again. The other party enthusiastically invited me and could only attend Sanlian Real Estate's reception lunch at noon.
In the grand banquet hall of the Crown Hotel, Lu Dong once again met Deputy Director Duan of the Management Committee and Director Zhao, who represented Yang Liewen.
Deputy Director Duan was quite polite: "Mr. Lu, I just came here for the last time. I don't know much about the situation and want to achieve some work results, so I'm anxious."
The other party is the deputy director of the Management Committee and the top one. In this regard, he is actually apologizing. Lu Dong knows how to stop when he sees it, and says with a smile: "Director Duan is all for work and for the development of the university town."
"Yes! Yes!" Deputy Director Duan saw Lu Dong knowing the general idea, and the unhappiness in his heart scattered. After all, there was no way to really deal with Lu Dong: "Mr. Lu's company has become famous across the country. He has made a fuss while the iron is hot and has become the leader of catering companies in the province as soon as possible."
Lu Dong said nicely: "It is all the result of strong support from the leaders."
There are many things, especially for the public, that cannot be done by the public. If you can reconcile, you must reconcile.
Lu Dong talked to Deputy Director Duan about the bright future of the university town for a while, and he had a smile on his face and wanted to eliminate grudges.
Before the banquet began, Lu Dong and Officer Zhao found a place without anyone in the corridor and chatted for a few words.
"Does Sanlian Real Estate want to acquire land from the university town?" Lu Dong asked Director Zhao directly.
"They have this idea, but it may not be possible in the short term." Secretary Zhao whispered: "Sanlian Real Estate's funds are basically concentrated on the Caishishan Villa project, and it is estimated that it will be launched in the second half of the year. Last time you reminded me that I have paid special attention to it. With the funds of Sanlian Real Estate, the Caishishan Villa project can only be operated in the short term."
Lu Dong said: "I have no other intentions. Sanlian is calling Guangmei so hard, and the home appliance business is shrinking day by day. I am worried that there will be problems with their real estate projects and will affect our leaders."
Secretary Zhao knew that Lu Dong was working with Guangmei, so he wanted to know more about Sanlian's situation and said, "It's okay, Sanlian was introduced by Deputy Director Duan. Even if something really happened, he was the person in charge."
He added: "Of course, no one wants something wrong with Sanlian."
Lu Dong saw someone coming to invite them and said, "Let's go in and have a meal."
The lunch was very rich, and Sanlian Real Estate was very popular, and he invested a lot of money.
From Lu Dong's perspective, Caishi Villa was determined to build the first high-end real estate project in Quannan before Sanlian Real Estate was established. Even if such a house is built, ordinary people can't afford it. A considerable number of real customers are undoubtedly sitting in today's banquet hall.
This celebration and this banquet are obviously a sense of publicity and momentum.
At the banquet, many people came to find Lu Dong to drink, and Lu Dong inevitably went to pay homage to some people.
At the end of the banquet, Bai Sheng came over and had two drinks with Lu Dong.
Taking advantage of the alcohol, Bai Sheng said: "Mr. Lu, if you have the chance, I want to go to your company and see what it is like to become the number one catering company in the province."
