Chapter 213 Set sail
Around 11 o'clock in the evening, Jiang Fan returned home.
This was not Jiang Yuanshan's request, but the insistence of Jiang Fan's mother Xiao Yujun.
She doesn't care whether it's in Gusu or Shanghai, they are far away anyway.
In the past, Luo Yang lived in the InterContinental Hotel, and Jiang Fan occasionally stayed overnight, but she didn't care, as it was just a sweet private meeting between the young couple.
But it’s different if you buy a house in Yang City.
Living under this situation, Jiang Fan and Luo Yang started living together.
Yang City is not big, but Lao Jiang is considered a "celebrity" in the local area. Even if he has to cover up his mistakes, he has to do it on the surface.
Unless Luo Jianguo and Gu Honglan come to visit one day, the two families will hold an engagement banquet together.
It would make sense if we could live together then.
Luo Yang could understand this point and there was no need for Jiang Fan to explain too much.
Although he understood it, Luo Yang had not considered that buying a house might become a burden.
Fortunately, he is not idle.
There is a study in the new house. After taking a shower, Luo Yang, in pajamas, walked into the study and habitually turned on the computer to browse the web.
"On September 9, the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" started in the rain at the filming site of Jietai Temple in Mentougou, Beijing, and a simple opening ceremony was held."
A simple expiration message caught Luo Yang's attention.
Judging from the time, Yu Fang should have joined the crew, right?
The two have not had any contact since their last separation in Hengdian.
This is normal. It is originally an exchange of resources. It is okay if Yu Fang is not famous. He will definitely get it back.
If I become a little famous through this play, it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
As the old saying goes, whores are heartless and actors are disloyal.
Luo Yang did not regret these things, but this information triggered some thoughts.
He took out another piece of white paper, found a pen, placed it in front of the computer, and began to list domestic male and female stars.
Listed in the order of first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier.
This information can be publicly found on the Internet. Although some definitions are vague, Luo Yang has his own judgment.
As for why we need to write down the names of these stars?
Because Luo Yang didn’t remember many famous directors, nor did he know which strong film and television companies there were in the country.
So he wanted to start with the names of movie and TV stars, trying to find out what box office and ratings-boosting movies and TV series these people would star in in the future.
These are all opportunities to make money!
Just like a jigsaw puzzle, searching for the name of the star, the memory fragments are hidden deep in his mind, using the name to pick out the fragments and piece together the complete picture
It's fun and profitable.
Luo Yang quickly became immersed in the game.
This game is not played randomly, but has a certain logic.
I don’t watch comedies and romances in movies, and I watch the TV series starring the actresses I remember.
Luo Yang basically doesn't consider any big productions. First, he has no chance of getting involved. Second, even if the box office is high, the investment is huge and the efficiency is not good.
For light comedies and romance dramas, the input-output ratio is really worthwhile.
For example, Lost in Thailand, My Little Pony, Charlotte's Troubles, Fleet of Time, So Young, and several series of Tiny Times.
These are small investments of tens of millions, but the output is at least four or five hundred million, and even more than ten billion.
With this efficiency ratio, Luo Yang invested about 500 million and made huge profits.
Then there are TV dramas, which are nothing more than those same old faces. If you keep an eye on them, you can catch up on the hit dramas.
What is "The Journey of Flower", what is "Nirvana in Fire", what is "Do You Know, Do You Know", what is "Princess Agents"...
Anyway, Luo Yang followed this logic to recall, and when he remembered, he started to make notes.
Of course, it is recorded using language logic that you can understand.
For example, Hu Ge, he just wrote the word "ancient costume" after his name, and it didn't matter if others saw it.
For example, Xu Zheng just put the word "comedy" after his name, and others couldn't see any additional information about it.
When you are immersed in something, time flies.
Luo Yang didn't stop thinking until about 1:30 in the morning. He opened the window of the study, burned the white paper with notes in the ashtray, turned off the computer and went to bed.
After staying in his hometown for two days, on the 6th, Luo Yang went to the countryside to visit his grandmother and took Dahuang with him.
"Are you going to bring Da Huang to the construction site in Modu?"
"Well, my mom thinks it's not lively without Da Huang, and the construction site also needs a guard dog."
Luo Yang smiled and said: "Originally my dad wanted to raise a Labrador, but my mom said it's not as easy to raise as a local dog."
"My mom has a teacup dog. It's small and very cute."
Jiang Fan looked at Da Huang who was sitting quietly on the cushion in the back seat: "Look, he is still enjoying the scenery outside the window."
"I'm used to it. My dad used to take it out when he was working on construction sites."
Luo Yang replied: "Da Huang has experienced a lot. My mother told me that when it took a car for the first time, it was also trembling."
The two chatted all the way, and more than two hours later, the car arrived at Soochow University.
After sending Jiang Fan off, Luo Yang turned onto the highway again and headed straight for Pudong.
Since the last incident, Tao Qingbiao has become much calmer. Not only does he no longer make trouble, but his relationship with Luo Jianguo has become closer.
"Now when you see me, you always call me sister-in-law, and every now and then you ask your dad to drink and build relationships with you."
Gu Honglan complained in front of her son: "I'm afraid your father will be won over and corrupted by him."
"Mom, you got it wrong."
Luo Yang knew what his mother was worried about, so he deliberately interrupted her and said, "If we want to win over and corrupt someone, it should be Party B against Party A, right?"
"Yangyang."
"Ok?"
"Why did I hear that you have a good relationship with the daughter of the boss of this company?"
"I used to be her assistant and we had a good relationship."
"Don't play dumb with me!"
Gu Honglan knocked her son on the head and said, "I'm telling you, if you dare to let Fanfan down, I'll break your legs!"
"Aren't you too partial?"
Luo Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I am your son, okay? As for your wife, there will always be one."
"I do not care!"
The old lady was unreasonable: "I only recognize Jiang Fan, you can take other women home and try?"
"Tsk tsk tsk"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "We should have brought Jiang Fan here today. If she heard what you said, she would have called me mom right away!"
"Haha, do you think I dare not agree?"
Gu Honglan put her hands on her hips and said, "If she dares to yell, I will come to your house with your father during the Spring Festival this year. Even if I am too lazy to do this, I will settle this marriage first."
"Domineering!"
Luo Yang gave a thumbs up and praised his mother: "Lao Jiang is a daughter slave. He wishes his daughter would never get married. He dared to come to ask for marriage when he was only in his third year of college. Mom, your courage is absolutely worthy of my admiration."
After hearing what her son said, Gu Honglan also laughed.
"It's a little early. At least we have to wait until you graduate from college."
When the old lady talked about this, she immediately forgot about worrying about Luo Jianguo and said while counting on her fingers: "Besides, the current family conditions do not allow it. The debt outside has been paid off, but our family does not even have a house in the city."
"We don't need this money anymore, right?"
Luo Yang smiled and said, "After this project, Dad will make at least 20 million. By then, it will be easy for him to buy a house in his hometown, right?"
"Too."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Gu Honglan's face.
Not only this job, one can also tell from Luo Jianguo's usual accent that with his son's relationship, he will have no problem getting the next general contracting project worth hundreds of millions.
Everything started from the National Day last year. The family that was about to fall into the quagmire suddenly got out of the water. And things got better and better.
Counting the time, it has been exactly one year.
Whenever she thought of this, Gu Honglan couldn't help sighing. She didn't try to hide it in front of her son. As she spoke, her eyes became red.
It’s not because of sadness, nor because of joy, but because of fear!
Luo Yang was not in a hurry to leave. He stayed at the construction site with his mother for dinner before leaving.
I walked across the Xupu Bridge and went to Meile City to see how the business of Naixue’s first flagship store was doing.
It was as popular as ever. Even at around seven in the evening, the line was still dozens of meters long.
During these days, Shi Xiu would send him a summary message every night.
In the five days before National Day, the total turnover reached over 40, exceeding Luo Yang's expectations.
Although there will be a decline after the holiday, it is not a big problem to maintain sales of 30,000 to 40,000 per day.
As a result, the total sales of a single store in the entire 10 days of October is likely to reach around 31 million to 130 million.
I was too impatient. If I had come to talk to Liu Haishan and others at night for a month, I could have gotten more.
But it is difficult to say whether there are gains or losses here. After all, if you get investment a month earlier, you can start expansion a month earlier. In the business world, seizing the initiative is often very important.
In Meiluo City, Luo Yang stayed until after nine o'clock.
When the shop closed for the day and everyone started to clean up, he called Shi Xiu out.
"You still have to take seriously what I told you before!"
Luo Yang explained with a serious expression: "The contract will be signed after the National Day. Once the funds are in place, the company will enter a period of rapid expansion. Once the marketing department is established, the first batch of stores will be rented, renovated and opened in no more than a month."
"Time is a bit tight."
Shi Xiu bit her lower lip and said, "Boss Luo, now even the university town has become a training base. The number of employees recruited by the two stores is actually seriously exceeded, which will eat up a lot of profits every month. But you said that the first batch will open 50 stores. Even if I recruit all of them to be store managers, it won't be enough."
"At least half of the store managers have to be hired from outside. How can all of them be hired?"
Luo Yang smiled. He smoked a cigarette and said, "Then the Magic City will be divided into three areas. The main urban area will be one area, and the surrounding areas such as Songjiang, Qingpu, Jinshan, and Nanhui will be one area. Pudong will be a separate area. I plan to let you be the general manager of the main urban area. You should have a clear idea in your mind."
"Mr. Luo."
Shi Xiu's face turned red and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"It's not easy to work in a district. You have to manage the store in the early stages."
Luo Yang continued: "Please help me train a group of excellent store managers in the first few months!"
"Ok!"
A gentleman will die for his confidant. Now that Shi Xiu has met the noble man in his life, how could he not seize the opportunity and risk his life for him?
She nodded vigorously: "I will try my best to do it!"
After chatting about some other things, Luo Yang ended the conversation.
By the time he returned to his rental house in Songjiang, it was almost eleven o'clock.
When I entered the room, Jiang Wen was so tired that she fell asleep on the chaise longue without even removing the mask on her face.
On the 6th and 7th, most of the students returned to school one after another. As they had just received this month's living expenses, the milk tea shop's business was naturally booming.
Luo Yang took a shower quietly, changed into pajamas, then came over and picked up Jiang Wen, wanting to move her to the big bed in the bedroom.
"Luo Yang."
Jiang Wen skillfully wrapped her arms around Luo Yang's neck and half-opened her eyes dazedly: "You're back?"
"Why are you sleeping outside?"
Luo Yang "blamed" him, "It's October now, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. People are tired, and their immunity is low. If you sleep like this, you'll easily catch a cold and get sick!"
"Waiting for you to come back."
Jiang Wen twisted her body and said coquettishly, "I was waiting and fell asleep in a daze..."
After waking up, she found the mask was still on her face, so she struggled to get up and go to the bathroom to remove the mask.
After drinking water, Jiang Wen climbed onto the bed and lay beside Luo Yang.
"Luo Yang, is Naixue's direct sales expansion about to begin?"
"?"
Luo Yang was curious: "How did you know?"
"I can see that."
Jiang Wen giggled: "Shi Xiu is very concerned about the training of the store staff here, and according to the demand, I only need six people at most. Now there are 12 people squeezed in, especially the six people who came over, they are all scrambling to work..."
Although Jiang Wen looked relaxed, she was actually a little worried.
They are worried that the direct sales model will take back the store’s operating rights.
"You are quite smart!"
So Luo Yang scratched her nose and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, the store here will be classified as a franchise store and will not be taken back."
Now that he had started talking, he might as well make it clear. Then he explained why he was planning to leave the hole.
"When the time comes, each family will be given a few quotas, so no one will have any objections."
Luo Yang concluded: "This is called sharing the benefits equally."
"No wonder..."
Jiang Wen muttered something, and then remembered what Luo Yang had just said.
"5000 million investment?"
"Ok!"
"When I heard you say you wanted to open 100 or 1000 stores, I thought it was a distant thing, at least a few years away..."
The money-grubber looked at Luo Yang with shining eyes: "I didn't expect the expansion to come so fast... Luo Yang, at this rate, you will become a billionaire next year!"
When she said the word billionaire, there was a slight tremor in her voice.
It’s okay to talk about it normally, but only when people start making money will they know how terrifying this number is.
It can be said that of people will never earn this much money in their lifetime.
This is one of the signs of financial freedom.
Once you approach or cross that threshold, you belong to the small group of people at the top of the pyramid.
"This is just the beginning."
If you don't show off now, when will you?
Luo Yang said calmly: "What can this little money do? It's not even enough to buy a nice villa in the Magic City."
Jiang Wen became more and more obsessed.
"Luo Yang..."
"Ok?"
"I don't feel safe anymore..."
This is really not the right time to display your tea art.
Jiang Wen said bitterly, "You will become richer and more attractive, but I will become older and older... In just five years, not even ten years, I will become an old maid."
"You mean you won't always be eighteen, but there will always be eighteen-year-old girls, right?"
Jiang Wen: “…”
Growing increasingly anxious.
"But humans are emotional animals."
Luo Yang touched her head and said, "Even if you raise a puppy or a kitten, you will develop feelings for it over time, let alone a human being?"
"Meow~~~"
Jiang Wen's eyes were charming and she gently rolled up her pink tongue.
It’s the beginning of the month, everyone still has their monthly tickets, right?
Robbery, hand over your monthly tickets, don’t force me to wish you a happy holiday!
