My Age of Investment

  Chapter 557 "Extreme" projects in the eyes of investors (two in one)

   "Hahaha~"

  Fu Jixun laughed, "Well said, my sister, you are the only eloquent person, and what kind of hot pot restaurant you open? It's burying talents, so you can go straight to be a talk show actor."

  Yu Youwei chuckled, “No, I still run a hot pot restaurant, so let’s do a talk show for customers occasionally part-time.”

  Fu Jixun smiled, “I just think your hot pot restaurant tastes very good, it’s a pity that it’s not a chain.

  If I open the store to the capital, I am usually greedy, and I can come to relieve my hunger. "

  Yu Youwei raised her eyebrows, “The rent in the capital is too high to scare people. We have little arms and legs, so forget it, we can’t stand the toss.”

  Xia Jingxing thinks it shouldn’t be right. Just listened to this sister’s introduction that their hot pot restaurant was established in 1988, six years later than Little Swan, but six years earlier than Haidilao.

  And those two have dozens or hundreds of stores, but their family has one store.

  It’s fine if the taste is not good, but the taste is pretty good.

  Having been in business for 18 years, but has not expanded outwards, just guarding such a small shop? Can't live with money?

  Xia Jingxing is determined, either because of his conservative management style, or he is not enterprising.

  Fu Jixun thought that the waiter girl was quite talkative, so he chatted with her a few more words.

  "What is the turnover rate of your store in one day?"

   "Four to five, there are seven or eighty tables of guests every day."

   "With such a high turnover rate, I don't think people are full at the moment."

  "You guys came too late. We have received two waves of guests today, and business is usually better at night."

   "Then your daily turnover is 10,000 yuan?"

"Roughly the same."

  ...

  Xia Jingxing listened quietly, without interrupting, quickly analyzing useful information in her heart.

  He has never run a hot pot restaurant, and he has little knowledge in many situations.

  The so-called vote for a group, love a group, he intends to set his mindset and study hard.

  He Yonghui and his wife tried to send Little Swan to the market in a short period of time, and they were clinging to the franchise store as a way of making money.

  To be honest, he has basically given up the idea of ​​cooperating with the other party, because he can't bring it anymore.

  Cooperating with Haidilao is a clear path, but Zhang Yong seems to be very stubborn. There is a big question mark whether he can reach cooperation.

  If these two companies fail, he doesn't know who to work with.

Own shop?

  He feels that it involves too much energy, and he can't guarantee that he can do it well.

  It's like having a mouth-watering fruit in front of you, but it's a pity to give up if you can't eat it.

What impressed him the most about the hot pot restaurant was that he could start a project with a small amount of capital, then "raise a store with a store", and finally tell a story to the capital market, creating a landmark investment case.

   Chatting with the waiter’s little sister for a while, and Fu Jixun got so acquainted with the other party.

  In order to completely dispel the other party’s defensive psychology and facilitate more useful information, Fu Jixun reached into the inner pocket of his suit, took out a box of business cards, and took out one.

   Then he stood up and walked for two steps, and handed the business card to the waiter girl, "Sister, my name is Fu Jixun, and I work in venture capital. This is my business card.

  We are currently looking for a hot pot restaurant project and plan to invest in one.

  I think you have some ideas, why sit down and chat together? Everyone can exchange one or two together. "

  Yu Youwei took the business card handed over by Fu Jixun, and rubbed it a few times. The texture was very good.

  Look at the content on the business card again, yo, it's quite advanced, with bilingual Chinese and English fonts.

  The big characters "Managing Director of Vision Capital" are very conspicuous.

   "Wow, are you still the general manager?"

  Fu Jixun corrected and said: "It's the managing director."

   "I know, director and general manager!"

  Fu Jixun spreads out, yes, Bai explained.

   "What companies have you invested in, Vision Capital?"

  Yu Youwei has never heard of Envision Capital, nor does she understand the specific work of venture capital companies, but she is not stupid, guessing it must be related to investment, and then she asked the key to the problem sharply.

  After that, she smiled and looked at Fu Jixun.

  Fu Jixun knew that the other party might still be a little distrustful, so he introduced: "The companies we have invested in, there are more, such as Ali, Penguin, Baidu, Tudou, Kugou..."

  Yu Youwei’s eyes light up every time a company’s name is reported.

  She usually surfs the Internet, so she has naturally heard the names of companies such as Ali, Penguin, and Baidu.

   "That...isn't QQ owned by Penguin? You have invested in this company?"

  Fu Jixun nodded, “Of course, we hold more than ten percent of Penguin’s shares.”

  Seeing Fu Jixun’s face was plain, as if telling an irrelevant thing, which made Yu Youwei doubtful. In her perception, Penguin is a big company, and many people use QQ.

  As a shareholder of Penguin, would you go to a small shop like them to eat? Still chatting with a yellow-haired girl with her? It's a bit unreal!

   Just when Yu Youwei had all kinds of doubts in her heart, Fu Jixun smiled and asked, "Sister, what's your name."

   "My name is... Yu Youwei."

  The girl hesitated, she still reported her real name, but didn't specify which three words it was.

  Fu Jixun didn't go to ask in detail, and continued: "Okay, then I will call you Xiaomei Yu."

   After that, Fu Jixun sat back in her seat, Yu Youwei also stopped her work, pulled a bench from the side, and sat down next to Xia Jingxing and the three of them.

  She doesn't know what scale of company Envision Capital is, but since it is a Penguin shareholder, the scale may not be too small.

  Viewing the clothes and conversation of the three people should not be general.

  The multi-billion dollar business they just talked about, is it true?

  Yu Youwei wants to go to Baidu now, but the timing is not suitable, she can only press the question in her heart, first listen to what this "general manager" is going to talk to her.

   "Sister Yu, is this store opened by your parents?"

  Yu Youwei nodded.

  Talking for a while, Fu Jixun also understood the situation of this "Yuyaomei" hot pot. To his surprise, Yu Xiaomei is not an ordinary waiter, and actually graduated from Yuzhou University with a major in business administration.

  "You have graduated for half a year, why not go to work in a big company, but choose to work here?"

Fu Jixun felt that this was easy to be misunderstood, and quickly added: "I am not saying that this job is not good, but that most people may choose to work in big cities or large companies. Your choice is quite surprising. ."

  Yu Youwei smiled and said, "It’s okay to work for my own family, right? When I expand this store in the future, maybe it will be the next "He Yonghui"."

  Hearing this, Fu Jixun smiled and turned to look at Xia Jingxing. The latter nodded and motioned for him to continue asking.

  Xia Jingxing is also a little interested now, and she is a little curious about why this slick Yuzhou girl doesn’t want to work in a large enterprise, and runs over to inherit the family business.

  Fu Jixun asked: "If you remember correctly, you just said...don't want to open a branch?"

  Yu Youwei shook her head, “I didn’t say that. I actually want to expand my business, but I suffer from lack of funds, and my parents don’t support me.”

   "Why don't you support you?"

  Yu Youwei sighed, “They are conservative in temperament, you see, our store has been open for so many years, and the scale has not grown.

  In fact, it is not that there is no money to expand the business, but the money is used to buy a house, and several houses in Yuzhou have been bought.

   Ask me to say that we shouldn’t buy a house at the beginning, we should all open a branch, maybe our current scale is even more than that of Little Swan. "

   Talking about the choices of her parents, Yu Youwei looked puzzled.

  Xia Jingxing smiled from the side, and she was almost as expected.

  There are many restaurants in Sichuan and Chongqing that have a history of 20 to 30 years. Many of them are very hot, but they just don’t want to open branches.

  It’s even more excessive. Some bosses only do business for half a day, and some sell roast ducks. They only sell one hundred per day. When they are sold out, they will stop working and play mahjong. It is useless to persuade them.

  I know how to enjoy life very much, or call it Buddhism.

   "Sister Yu, I listen to you, if you are the home owner, wouldn't the development of this hot pot restaurant take off completely?"

  Yu Youwei smiled at Fu Jixun, “Not to mention taking off, opening a few branches, each business is not worse than the head office, there is still such confidence.”

   Looking at the unmodest, confident girl, Fu Jixun grinned, "Aren’t you going to surpass Little Swan? How many branches are you satisfied?"

"how is this possible?"

  Yu Youwei shook her head sharply and explained: “I’m saving money now, and my exclusive hot pot restaurant will be opened soon.”

  "Exclusive hot pot restaurant? What does this mean?"

  "It is to leave my parents, go alone, and start my own business."

  Fu Jixun smiled and asked, "I am so confident that I am not afraid of business failure?"

  "Starting a business is risky, and no one can guarantee 100% success!"

  Yu Youwei smiled, showing eight white teeth, and compared to an "eight" gesture, "but I am at least 80% sure."

   "That's not too low, can you tell me where does your assurance come from?"

  Yu Youwei smiled and said: "When I was five years old, my family opened this hot pot restaurant. I have been fascinated by my eyes and ears for 18 years, and I am no stranger to this business.

  In addition, my university is business administration, and I also understand some modern business management models.

  In my opinion, one of all hot pot restaurants on the market now counts as one, and the management is too rough and low-level. "

   "Oh, what is fine and advanced?"

  Yu Youwei began to elaborate, “The simplest thing is that the waiters of chain hot pot restaurants are just like stragglers, they are highly mobile and do not have high professional quality.”

  "Why do the waiters at the hot pot restaurant need such high quality? They can't be all like you, are they all 985 college students."

Yu Youwei was very able to play a joke. She was ridiculed by Fu Jixun and was not angry. She smiled and said, "Look at the current chain restaurant. There are hundreds or thousands of employees, but the management is similar to my small store. , I call it "free range type."

   "The low threshold and low wages determine that these waiters cannot have high professional quality."

  Fu Jixun said again: "I understand what you mean, I want to improve the professional quality of employees through efficient management methods, and then transform this quality into service?"

  Yu Youwei opened her eyes and smiled, "Yes, you are too right, that's what I meant.

  Current hot pot restaurants, all of them are competing for taste.

  I just want to find another way and start with service.

  Look at those high-end western restaurants, regardless of the taste, how good the service and etiquette are. "

  Fu Jixun frowned, "Then you want to make high-end hot pot?"

  Yu Youwei shook her head, "High-end products are not big, and hot pot is naturally not related to high-end products.

  You can’t use hot pot to rinse truffles, rinse caviar, and rinse foie gras, right?

  My idea is mid-range price, with high-end services, so that consumers have a "earning" idea.

  Now the domestic economic development is getting better and better. The middle class is a large consumer group. I plan to do business with this group of people.

  This business has grown, and it must be better than a high-end hot pot restaurant. "

  Speaking of this, Yu Youwei's eyes flashed a sly, "Fu, don't you want to invest in hot pot restaurants? I think you might as well invest in me.

  My entrepreneurial idea is not bad. I started planning when I was in college, and then I started to improve it little by little.

  I also have a business plan. If you are interested, you can show it to you. "

  Yu Youwei also doesn't know the true situation of the three people in front of him, but she is not willing to miss the opportunity.

  And in her opinion, if it fails, there is nothing to lose.

  Fu Jixun smiled silently and looked at Xia Jingxing, who shook his head slightly.

  Investment is a rigorous job. How could it be possible to make a fool of oneself and invest in a hot pot at random, and then invest in a company. Is that still fair?

  What's more, this sister paper is too young and lacks real company trading experience.

  Of course, the most important thing is that there is no store, which is equivalent to starting from scratch.

  Xia Jingxing did not want to start from scratch, because that would be too difficult.

  His ideal target is preferably more than ten directly-operated stores. The brand has been established for a certain period of time, and the founder has certain industry experience and accumulated experience in company management and operation.

  This little sister Yu talked in front of them, analyzing the problems very well, but she really started to operate, and she didn’t know what was wrong.

  However, the other party’s entrepreneurial idea is quite interesting, and this must be admitted.

   And the opponent has grasped a few points, but has not yet figured out a systematic play.

  Yu Youwei noticed that Fu Jixun looked at Xia Jingxing, guessing in her heart that this young man might be the real big boss.

   Like Xia Jingxing felt that they were too young to be useful, Yu Youwei originally thought that Xia Jingxing was a small follower.

  But I just heard Fu Jixun call this young man "General Xia". Thinking back carefully, at that time, Fu Jixun was quite respectful. Is this the real big boss?

At this time, a middle-aged aunt who was still wearing a chef's coat walked out of the kitchen, and shouted from a long distance: "Weiwei, where are you sitting? Other customers are about to check out, and they yelled for a long time. People care about it, come here quickly."

   "Come here~"

  Yu Youwei quickly got up and ran to the cash register.

  As soon as the person left, Fu Jixun sat upright, looked at Xia Jingxing, smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I feel pretty good about this girl, like a worker."

  Xia Jingxing did not conceal his preferences, and shared his views with Jixun after finishing the book.

  After listening, Fu Jixun pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, and said, "That's right, there are no more than ten branches, and they are not in touch with the restaurant chain brand.

  Investment nowadays is not called venture capital anymore, but partnered to open hot pot restaurants.

  The investment amount is not large, but the risk is not small.

  Compared with these, the most feared is still not doing much.

  If you invest a few million, the hot pot restaurant will give us hundreds of thousands of dividends every year, that is the only venture capital circle Xieziba.

It was really embarrassing to    to spread out. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled lightly, he was not worried about shame, but felt that the probability of success was too low.

  If you want to say that you are ashamed, you will naturally belong to the sacred pit of "Douban."

   Just when the investors thought they wanted to be super-smart, they lay down again.

  Who can stand this?

  The two smokers of Doubanqi's Trust Capital investor once said: in the future, we will kill projects like Douban and Carving Time. You can't die, you can't get up, just say a few words about them, these middle-aged literary and artistic CEOs are still all kinds of unhappy with you.

  This kind of leek is also deeply stuck, which is helpless and sad.

  Xia Jingxing shook her head, dispelling her thoughts, if she was on her head, she might not be able to stand this kind of superb.

If   hot pot restaurant is not big, it may not perform as well as Douban.

  After sitting for a while, Zhang Chenguang ran to the cash register and bought the bill. The three people who were full of food and drink left the hot pot restaurant together.

  The three of them bought the order and left. The investment was completely gone, and Yu Youwei didn't care too much.

  Because until now, she still has some doubts about the true identities of the three people. She always feels that she doesn't look like a big boss. Maybe she is just playing with herself.

  Looking at the business card in her hand again, she was about to throw it into the trash can under her feet.

  As soon as he stretched out his hand, he retracted it again.

  Hey, forget it, it doesn’t cost much, go home at night and check it online.
