Chapter 561: I have been subsidizing you for a long time, and I finally see the money coming back
After so many dinner parties, Cai Fujun has already figured out Luo Yang's preferences.
Small gatherings among acquaintances, drinking some wine and chatting are all activities that Luo Yang is not opposed to. As for going to Platinum Palace or Xinghui, no matter how beautiful the girls are, Luo Yang will not touch them.
When it comes to socializing in clubs, it's really just superficial socializing.
Therefore, he arranged the evening dinner at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Songjiang city, and he never considered the possibility that he would not be able to pick any pretty girls if he arrived at the club late for the second party.
Not only was the place where the dinner was held far away from the main urban area, but he also asked his girlfriend Su Hui to bring three "best friends and classmates" out to drink with him in advance.
He filled in all the little details that went into a dinner.
"I can see that, Old Cai, you didn't plan for a second game at all, right?"
It’s not that Liu Haishan doesn’t like young and beautiful women, but he thinks it’s too troublesome. A boss of his age has children of almost the same age at home, and he has never thought about breaking up his family and changing his wife.
Based on this idea, in his eyes, older girls are not as good as club girls who only spend money and don't talk about feelings.
“Am I someone who needs that little money?”
Cai Fujun knew his old friend's preferences, so he joked, "It's my treat tonight, so of course you have to follow my instructions. If you don't like it, I can hug you left and right. At most, I can make up for it in the second game."
"You think beautiful!"
Liu Haishan laughed, took this opportunity to grab the hand of the girl sitting next to him, and said in protest: "I only want this beauty tonight."
The "best friend" Su Hui brought with her didn't struggle at all. Instead, she smiled and cooperated with Liu Haishan: "I've already thought about it. When we sing later, Mr. Liu and I are going to sing a song called "Choice": I chose you, and you chose me."
"Eh~~~"
Su Hui, who was holding Cai Fujun's arm, shuddered: "Linlin, hold back a bit, we are drinking now, it's not time to go crazy yet."
"Hahaha"
This sentence caused Liu Haishan to laugh again.
Although he seemed careless on the surface, he was careful and picked up the wine cup. He raised the glass to Luo Yang and said, "Since we met, I have always treated you as a little brother, but after the meeting this morning, I really want to call you a big brother."
"Old Liu, you are being too polite!"
Cai Fujun saw Liu Haijun's sentimental remarks and followed up in time: "Don't call Brother Luo the boss or the boss between the three of us. It's too vulgar!"
"Old Cai, you don't understand how I feel right now. Old He knows a little bit."
Liu Haishan shook his head and brought He Maosong into the topic: "At the end of last year, Guo Guangchang raised funds on Zhedong Road. In order to get a quota, I was very humble and also took advantage of Lao He's favor. Only then did I get a share of 8000 million."
He Maosong smiled modestly and said, "I am just helping to make connections, the main thing is still up to you."
"Lao He, you know that's not what I'm talking about!"
Liu Haishan poured the liquor in the small wine cup into the wine dispenser, then raised the large cup and said, "Look at our brother Luo. It has been less than a year and a half since we invested 1500 million. Now it has also been three months. How much have we earned?"
"The total sales of Nayuki and Lemon CC in the first quarter must be about billion or billion, right?"
Only half a day had passed, and Cai Fujun certainly remembered the data: "If we calculate it this way, it would be almost 1 million for each of us, right?"
"There are also billiard balls and premixed cement mortar."
Liu Haishan said "slightly excitedly": "Calculate it yourself, how much money has Brother Luo made with us?"
Just after saying this, he raised his head and drank the one and a half taels of liquor in his hand in one gulp.
"Brother, we agreed this morning that you can drink as much as you want."
Luo Yang was still holding a small wine cup in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "If you drink so passionately, I will have to lie down in less than an hour!"
There are many smart people here.
"I've made my choice, too. Let's start with this pot of wine."
Under the gaze of everyone, the girl sitting next to Luo Yang picked up the entire pot of white wine and drank it in one gulp.
"cough cough"
Before anyone could react, she had already started coughing from choking.
Su Hui looked at her deeply.
This girl named Gu Jia was not like this before. Su Hui remembered that she had been staring at her for a long time in school because her appearance, figure, skin, and personality were all in line with Luo Yang's aesthetic standards.
With the support of Cai Fujun, she worked for nearly half a year and spent a lot of money and effort to convince him.
I thought she would be very reserved when we first met.
But the performance just now refreshed Su Hui's view of Gu Jia.
This junior school girl is not arrogant, but she is picky about people. Once she meets the right person, she will pounce on him more fiercely than anyone else.
"Jia Jia, it's a foul."
The girl sitting next to Liu Haishan started to make a noise: "If you keep drinking like this, we'll have to team up and settle the score later."
It's obvious from this guy's abilities that he's been hanging out in bars a lot.
Luo Yang ignored it.
He turned the table, picked up the opened bottle of Wuliangye and filled his own wine flask, then held it up and said to Liu Haishan, "Brother, if you keep going like this, what will I do if you bring a whole bottle of liquor to toast me? I won't dare to help you make money in the future."
After saying that, he drank two taels of white wine in one gulp.
As agreed in the morning, there will be a lot of meetings in the next few days, especially tomorrow morning we have to go to Kunpeng Technology to listen to a report. Liu Haishan also promised at that time that no more than half a catty of liquor would be consumed in the first meeting. Now the banquet has only started for half an hour and almost three or two catties of liquor have been drunk.
It’s not that Luo Yang can’t drink, but he was very unhappy with the way he drank just now.
People of different temperaments also need to consider the time and place. This kind of drinking in one gulp has a bit of a kidnapping feel to it.
The atmosphere in the box suddenly became awkward.
"Not even half of the dishes have been served yet, why are you drinking so quickly?"
Cai Fujun was quick-witted and didn't let the atmosphere continue. He immediately said, "Brother Luo, today's quota is half a catty. We have to drink slowly. Old Liu is not talking about you. You may be eager to go to the second game, but you can't be so anxious. After all, the sister you chose is still by your side."
"Hey, I'm so excited!"
Liu Haishan reacted and slapped his forehead: "It's my fault. I forgot that Brother Luo has an important meeting tomorrow morning. I will punish myself with a drink!"
After saying that, he turned the table and wanted to pour himself more wine.
"Let me do it."
When He Maosong saw this, he wanted to drink another pot.
If Liu Haishan really does this, should Luo Yang drink with him?
Don't drink away the friendship between the two of you.
He Maosong took the bottle in his own hands and helped Liu Haishan fill the small wine glass in front of him. He glared at him while pouring the wine.
Fortunately, Gu Jia was perceptive and helped Luo Yang serve a bowl of chicken soup.
"Brother Luo, have a bowl of soup to wash down the alcohol."
The free-range chicken in the farmhouse is boiled in a bright orange soup with a fragrant aroma. "You drank a lot just now, give yourself a bowl."
Luo Yang said with concern, then looked at Liu Haishan and said, "Brother Liu, next time I drink with you, I will definitely call An Ying and ask her, who helps you make money, to toast you a few more times. Then we'll see if you're still excited."
"Hahaha"
Cai Fujun laughed out loud in time: "Don't mention Lao Liu when the time comes. Even if the three of us put together can't withstand a fight, you should just let us go!"
When he heard Luo Yang say this, he felt relieved.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly improved a lot.
Liu Haishan came back to his senses and remembered the scene just now. Originally, after Gu Jia helped Luo Yang bring the pot of wine, the matter was over. However, the troublemaker next to him started a commotion and Luo Yang was put on the carry-on, and he had to drink the pot of wine as well.
Growing up girls are indeed troublesome, especially those who are smart as heck.
Without making a sound, he moved a few inches away and was no longer standing close to her.
No one is stupid. The reason why Luo Yang softened his tone and took the initiative to talk to Liu Haishan was that he had reacted.
This anger really can't be entirely directed at Old Liu.
So everyone started chatting again.
"I was drinking tea with a few friends in Ningbo last week, and we talked about a business deal. I am quite interested in it, but I am not sure. Brother Luo definitely has a first-class vision in this area. How about helping me analyze it?"
Perhaps he had already had the idea, or perhaps the timing was right, He Maosong took the initiative to bring up a topic that everyone was interested in.
There may be controversy on other things, but when it comes to venture capital, He Maosong and the other three are quite convinced of Luo Yang's abilities.
"Oh, what kind of investment are you so unsure about?"
You know what, Luo Yang is really curious at this moment.
The people of Zhejiang Province have a strong business atmosphere and are full of imaginative entrepreneurial thinking. In the next few years, all kinds of small and micro entrepreneurial enterprises will be spread across Zhejiang East Road, turning Hangzhou, a provincial capital city restricted by its topography, into a new first-tier entrepreneurial city.
This is real skill, unlike Luo Yang, who relies on a bug rather than his own talent.
“Renovation project of old tourist attractions.”
He Maosong saw Luo Yang's interest and immediately began to talk: "With the further development of the national economy, the number of middle-class people in China will increase. Not to mention the conventional consumption upgrade, in the next 3 to 5 years, tourism will become a hot industry, and the market size will become larger and larger."
This statement has been made long ago, and it is not only applicable to the tourism market. All industries are upgrading their products in preparation for the next round of consumption upgrades.
"If you simply create a new project yourself, firstly, the investment amount is huge and the investment cycle is long. Secondly, it is limited by the brand effect. It is difficult to generate profits, or it will take a long time."
Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, He Maosong continued: "So my friends came up with a business plan, which is to find mature and well-known tourist attractions, upgrade and renovate them, spend relatively little money, and achieve results and generate profits in a short period of time."
When he said this, Luo Yang already had a case in his mind.
"Brother, when you mentioned the upgrading and renovation of old tourist attractions, you were referring to places like Zhouzhuang, Zhujiajiao, Wuzhen, Tongli Ancient Town, and Xitang Ancient Town, right?"
"If I hadn't said it, I'd have admired you, brother."
He Maosong sincerely sighed: "I just gave it a start, and you immediately thought of the main body of the plan implementation, and I guess you already have a preliminary judgment in your mind now"
In fact, it was not just He Maosong. At this time, including Liu Haishan, Cai Fujun, and several other female college students who understood a little bit, all felt admiration for Luo Yang.
“Brother, are you optimistic about the future prospects of this project?”
He Maosong felt relieved at this time. He didn't need to continue explaining. He could just ask for the answer directly.
"I set up a cultural tourism company in my hometown last year, planning to combine culture and tourism to create an industry."
Luo Yang did not say whether it was good or bad, but talked about the project he invested in Xishu Town, his hometown: "At present, the first project has signed a contract with the local government and will be launched this year."
He Maosong: “.”
It turns out that you had already made up your mind to invest in the project that I am still struggling with last year, and even the first project was ready to start.
Is this the difference?
Of course, there is no need to say more about whether this investment is good or bad.
"Brother, are you interested in taking a share?"
After the conversation just now, He Maosong's mind changed again.
Looking at his expression, he was obviously no longer satisfied with asking Luo Yang for advice.
"You just happened to have a cultural tourism company, so why not use it as the main body for investment? Brother, let me be honest, although you are also optimistic about this industry, it makes a big difference who is in charge."
He asked sincerely, "If you are my anchor in the project, I will be 100% assured. Of course, I will never let you suffer any loss. I will bear most of the money according to the equity ratio. Just show your appreciation."
This is the inertial thinking that has been formed over a long period of time. Any project that Luo Yang is optimistic about and involved in will definitely make money.
So at this moment He Maosong was no longer reserved and directly extended an olive branch to Luo Yang. He was even willing to help advance most of the funds for the investment and let him participate in the project, giving him confidence and security both in terms of planning and psychological perspective.
Hey, there is such a good thing?
In the past, Luo Yang always came up with the project plan and played with the three of them. Now it is finally He Maosong's turn to come up with a project to give back.
“How much money do you plan to raise?”
Although Luo Yang was tempted, he was not in a hurry to agree. He kept his composure first.
So he answered the question in return and explained, "In addition to funding, this model also requires strong connections. After all, the relationships behind those long-established tourist attractions are not simple. Even if you want to get in under the name of renovation, it's difficult to get a piece of the pie."
"Brother Luo, my friends can think of going in this direction, so they must have certain resources."
When He Maosong heard Luo Yang ask this, he felt that Luo Yang had a deep understanding of this industry, so he became more patient.
He explained seriously, "If we take you with us this time, there will be five people in total. If we count them carefully, there are three investors, one of whom has a strong relationship, and the other is you, brother, who controls the direction of this type of project. As for how much money we plan to raise, we previously discussed that we would invest 5 to million yuan. Do you think it is enough?"
“It’s best to find a professional company to do an assessment of a specific project renovation, and it depends on the specific project renovation combination.”
Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "For example, for scenic spots with a relatively large area like Zhouzhuang and Tongli Ancient Town, the renovation costs may be relatively large, and the fund recovery period must also be considered. Therefore, it is impossible to stop after completing a project and wait for the slower recovery period. Some ancient towns may be able to undergo special renovations. Although the renovation funds will be less, the money spent on investment promotion and publicity will be more. In any case, in my opinion, the initial capital cannot be less than 1 million."
Unlike the ancient towns of Lijiang, Guilin and Fenghuang, the Jiangnan area has water but no mountains, so the characteristic transformation can only follow the model of Xitang Ancient Town.
“1 million yuan in start-up capital.”
He Maosong thought for a moment before saying, "Then I have to discuss this with a few other friends, but one thing is for sure, as long as we decide to do it, you must get involved, how about it?"
"Let's wait until you've finished discussing this."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "The wild geese are still flying in the sky. We will consider whether to braise or stew it later."
"Hahaha"
He Maosong laughed heartily, and at the same time, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and said, "Okay, let's put it this way!"
Luo Yang also smiled and raised his wine cup in response.
It seems a bit of a coincidence that Sunshine Tourism originally had plans to set up hotels in the scenic area, and now it unexpectedly has an opportunity to realize it quickly.
by luck?
