My Age of Investment

  Chapter 574 Resolute attitude (seeking monthly ticket)

  The reunion is always short, and the parting is always reluctant.

  In reluctance, Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu stayed in the hotel for a day, and then embarked on flights to different destinations.

  The foreign girl went to the Vatican and prepared to donate a religious building repair fund to the church on behalf of Facebook, and then asked the pope to call God’s people to register on Facebook.

Xia Jingxing returned to China.

  After getting off the plane, he drove to a Haidilao branch in the capital.

   Seeing Xia Jingxing appearing at the door of his store, Zhang Yong walked up to greet him quickly, and shook hands with Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face.

  "Mr. Xia, hello, welcome to Haidilao to guide your work!"

  Although Zhang Yong just graduated from a secondary vocational school and has no too high a culture, he has a high emotional intelligence. When he opened his first store in Jianzhou, he made a lot of local leaders, and he was quite easy to eat.

  "Mr. Zhang, you are polite, don't use this word for any guidance, we are communicating with each other."

While    was speaking, Xia Jingxing was also looking at Zhang Yong.

  At the age of thirty-five and six years old, wearing a suit with a flat head cut, looks ordinary.

  But through the eyes, words, and hand movements, it can be seen that this is a shrewd businessman who is good at welcoming and sending.

   While Xia Jingxing was looking at Zhang Yong, the other party was also looking at him.

  Fu Jixun contacted Zhang Yong before to talk about investment, but was declined without saying a few words.

Behind   , Fu Jixun contacted Zhang Yong and moved out of the signboard Xia Jingxing.

  A prestigious and top-notch rich man meets. Zhang Yong is not good at not selling his face, so he has to arrange today’s banquet.

  Zhang Yong led the way and took Xia Jingxing to a box.

  When passing the hall, Xia Jingxing took a few more glances. There were no empty seats and business was very good.

  The most striking thing is the mental outlook of the employees. Everyone is very happy, smiling, and the service attitude is very good.

  After greeting Xia Jingxing to take his seat, Zhang Yong waved his hand and greeted the employees to start serving dishes.

   "Mr. Xia, don't mind, there are no private and high-end restaurants, just treat you to our own hot pot."

  Zhang Yong is an exquisite person, fearing that Xia Jingxing, a rich man who is accustomed to the delicacies of mountains and seas, may feel shabby, so he explained something specially.

  Xia Jingxing waved her hand and smiled slightly, "It's okay, hot pot is good, I like hot pot very much.

  Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang and I are still a fellow. Everyone is from hometown, so don't be confined to those polite manners. "

  Zhang Yong smiled and nodded, “Yes, yes, Mr. Xia, your hometown in Jinyu County is next to our Jianzhou, and the distance is only 20 or 30 kilometers.”

   After a few words of greeting, the hot pot was also boiling, and the two chatted as they ate.

  Zhang Yong pointed to the various drinks placed next to him, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xia, shall we drink white wine or red wine or beer?"

  Xia Jingxing also noticed the various drinks placed next to him at this time, and secretly praised the other party for being well prepared and a caring person.

   "Beer bar, beer is only compatible with hot pot."

  Xia Jingxing doesn’t like to drink white wine when eating hot pot, because it is simply to find a guilt for herself, the red wine is nondescript, and the beer is very down-to-earth.

  Zhang Yong took the bottle opener and unscrewed a bottle of beer, got up and filled Xia Jingxing with a glass, and filled himself with it, then picked up the glass, smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, I toast you a glass."

  Xia Jingxing picked up the cup, touched it with Zhang Yong, and took a sip.

  Zhang Yong didn't even look at Xia Jingxing's cup. It dried up in one breath and then filled it again. The small details are well done.

   Seeing this, Xia Jingxing didn't say much, knowing that this was a shrewd man.

After waiting for the third wine tour, Xia Jingxing began to talk about business.

   "President Zhang, do you have any plans for the future development of Haidilao hot pot?"

  Zhang Yong’s hand holding the food froze in the air. After a pause for two or three seconds, he put down his chopsticks and smiled and said, “Mr. Xia, you really praised me.

  I have never studied at a university, nor have I worked in a major company. I have no plans for the future.

  Like most owners of hot pot restaurants, they are thinking all day about how to attract more customers and how to manage the store well. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, and he could see that Zhang Yong had a strong defense against him and deliberately hid himself.

  Although Zhang Yong has a hard background and low culture, he can create a unique model of Haidilao, and currently has more than a dozen branches across the country. How can he have no plans for the future.

  He has seen the information collected and submitted by Jingzhe Fund, and the conclusion is that Zhang Yong is an extremely independent and planned person.

  In 1994, Zhang Yong, who had worked as an electric welder at the Sichuan Tractor Factory for 6 years, set up four tables, one more table than He Yonghui, and started selling spicy hot pot restaurants.

  When he first opened a hot pot restaurant, Zhang Yong didn’t even know what the hairy belly was, and he didn’t know how to stir-fry.

But he has a strong learning ability and savvy. Knowing that his own hot pot restaurant does not have an advantage in the taste, he goes to the market every morning to buy the freshest ingredients, takes care of his service attitude, speeds up the serving speed, and even helps guests bring children, carry bags, and wipe shoe……

  No matter what the guests need, Zhang Yong and the staff will help without saying a word.

  After doing this for a few years, Haidilao has become a household name in Jianzhou.

  It can be said that Haidilao’s service has been successfully built when Zhang Yong opened the first store, and it is only being continuously improved in the future.

  In 1999, Zhang Yong ignored the objections of his wife and partners and opened the first branch in Chang'an.

However, in the first few months of opening, it has been losing money. It seems that the old capital that has been accumulated hard before will be lost. At a critical juncture, Zhang Yong decisively asked the partner to divest, and entrusted his right-hand assistant Yang Xiaoli to take full responsibility, and regain the core concept of Haidilao— —Service is above all else.

  In just two months, Chang'an Haidilao branch miraculously turned losses into profits.

  This also gave Zhang Yong confidence again, and at the same time obtained the wealth password-service is above all else.

During the SARS period, the catering industry fell into a trough. Haidilao also invented the hot pot takeaway: replacing the traditional gas tank with a portable induction cooker. The meal was delivered the day before, and the induction cooker was retrieved the next day.

  In 2004, Zhang Yong once again suppressed the voice of his wife and partner's opposition, and opened Haidilao to the highly competitive capital market.

  In just two years, Haidilao opened several branches in the capital and established a firm foothold.

  Even Yum China, a catering giant with brands such as KFC and Pizza Hut, put the company's annual meeting in Haidilao, the capital, preparing to learn the spirit of service from this small company.

   Judging from the information he has mastered, Xia Jingxing can easily analyze some of Zhang Yong’s personalities, dare to fight, dare to fight, decisive, unwilling to the status quo, very good at summarizing and thinking...

  Xia Jingxing pondered for a moment, and simply said clearly: “Mr. Zhang, let me say so, I personally admire you very much, and also love Haidilao’s management model of “service above all else”.

  Haidilao wants to become bigger and stronger, after all, it cannot do without the help of capital.

  You can open three stores, five stores, and ten stores a year based on the profits you earn from your business, but if there is capital blessing, that would be thirty, fifty, or one hundred.

   Yum, McDonald’s and other catering giants are all listed companies.

  When an enterprise grows to a certain scale and wants to go further, it must embrace the capital market.

  Capital can provide Haidilao with the funds needed to expand and become stronger, used for expansion, and can also be used for software and hardware transformation, such as information equipment, ingredient processing, logistics distribution, warehousing, and so on.

  If there is capital blessing, Haidilao can even open hot pot restaurants all over the world, such as the United States, Europe, and so on.

  Vision Capital is a shareholder of many domestic Internet and technology companies such as Ali, Penguin, Baidu, Dianping, and Focus Media. Haidilao wants to use Internet media for marketing, and we can also provide resource assistance.

  In foreign countries, Envision Capital is also a shareholder of companies such as Facebook, Yelp, and Working Hours. It helps companies connect marketing resources and even build a set of exclusive human resource management software. It’s no problem..."

  Looking at Xia Jingxing talking freely, Zhang Yong smiled. He knew the purpose of the other party, he knew it long ago.

  However, he is cautious about foreign investment.

  After Xia Jingxing finished speaking, Zhang Yongcai answered with a smile: "President Xia, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me and Haidilao.

  However, we have our own pace of development. It is too far away for us to open 30 or 50 stores a year, 100 stores, or even overseas.

  As a person, I have always had a dollar capital and do business for a dollar.

   is too lofty, it is not my principle of doing things.

  Furthermore, I am not familiar with the so-called capital market.

  So, President Xia, I'm very sorry, but I can only cooperate again in the future. "

   Seeing Zhang Yong who refuses to himself without a trace, Xia Jingxing frowned, “With our help, Haidilao can develop faster and stronger, and we will not interfere in corporate management.

  It is equivalent to saying that we are financial investment shareholders, we only invest money, no matter what, this article can also be written into the investment contract. "

  Zhang Yong shook his head and said firmly in his eyes: "I'm really sorry, I don't want to introduce other shareholders at this stage."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Zhang Yong, who was unable to make money, and did not understand why the other party rejected financing so much.

  "Mr. Zhang, you might as well listen to my offer!"

  Zhang Yong shook his head again, "No, President Xia, it's not a question of money."
