The Era of Hard Work

The particularity of the real estate industry today has led to many real estate companies being particularly strong in a certain place. Once they get out of their own basic market, their strength will be relatively degraded. Some large real estate development companies who are new to a market often like to cooperate with local local snake enterprises. .

After all, this is not an ordinary industry, and it is greatly affected by local governments and policies.

Zhao Lin proposed cooperation, obviously because he wanted to enter the Quannan real estate market.

But Lu Dong didn't know much about Rhine River Real Estate, so he shied away and said a few words, and the two left separately.

Even if we cooperate, we have to wait for Rhine River Real Estate to enter the Quannan market.

No one is stupid. Intertek Real Estate will not be able to get out of Quannan and Taidong for a while. Rhine River Real Estate has no business in Taidong. If such a cooperation is made, what is the benefit of Intertek Real Estate?

After leaving the Jiangong Building, Lv Dong, Wei Ping and Wang Gang went to the south and ate at the Shark's Fin Palace Hotel. They talked about this incident during the meal.

In the private room, Wei Ping ate some food and said, "Rhine River Real Estate, the name is quite foreign."

"Isn't this kind of foreign name popular now?" Lu Dong gave an example casually: "On the way, next to Daming Lake, there is a newly built community called Paris Garden. The main entrance is a large Arc de Triomphe. The Arc de Triomphe in Paris."

Wang Gang directly manages Tianxiang Real Estate Company and knows more about it: "The name is foreign, and the people who live in it have face when they talk about it to the outside world, and they feel tall. This is a common consumer psychology in the current real estate market. If a dog Names such as Leftover or Stone Corner can sell well, and there are still many communities with these names.”

The tea tree mushroom that Lu Dong ate was a bit hard, and he couldn't bite it, so he spat it out on a tissue: "It doesn't matter now, but in the future, foreign names will be everywhere, and the country will not like it at first. When the time comes, it will be rectified uniformly, and it will be troublesome."

Wang Gang continued, "We don't use these names for the real estate we develop. It's better to keep it normal. From now on, it will be called Tianxiang-XX Park or something like that."

Speaking of Zhao Lin: "Rheinhe Real Estate is well-known in the industry. Last year, it developed a very high-end and best-selling villa-type real estate in the capital. It is even more famous. In terms of strength and scale, it is much stronger than Intertek."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I seem to have heard people say that the background of the CEO of Rhine River Real Estate is not simple."

Lu Dong picked up his teacup and took a sip: "There is no one with a simple background who can do real estate."

Wei Yong chuckled: "That's right, don't talk about others, just us, which background is simpler?"

Wang Gang also laughed. To be honest, he, Lu Dong, Wei Yong, and Mu Kun are also people with a lot of background.

The three of them didn't talk about Rhine River Real Estate any more, and Zhao Lin of Rhine River Real Estate didn't pay attention to the cooperation mentioned by Zhao Lin. Tianxiang Real Estate Company just got a piece of land, and it will participate in the soil auction in the university town next time. If everything goes well, Two medium-sized real estate projects will be operated at the same time soon, and I don't have the energy to consider cooperation with outsiders for the time being.

In the real estate development of Tianxiang Real Estate Company, quality is still the first priority.

Word of mouth has been established, and the house is actually very easy to sell, which is also conducive to cost control.

The quality of Tianxiang-Taifeng Garden is well-known. Since its opening last year, the sales have been very hot. Now there are only two buildings in the last phase. If there is no accident, it will be liquidated this year.

The recovered funds, together with some bank loans, are enough to operate two more real estate projects at the same time.

Wei Yong had something to do there, so he left before dinner, Wang Gang had to deal with the affairs of the real estate company, and he left early, and Lu Dong was relatively free, so he simply let the two go first, and he would pay the bill in the end.

When Lu Dong went downstairs, he ran into Yu Zhanlong.

"Uncle Yu." He greeted proactively.

It just so happened that Yu Zhanlong was free: "Are you in a hurry to leave now? Chat with me."

Lu Dong smiled and said, "There is no rush to leave."

Yu Zhanlong asked the waiter to open a lounge, and called Lu Dong to pass.

The waiter brought the tea, but Lu Dong sent him away and poured tea for Yu Zhanlong himself.

"I heard from Lao Wang that you participated in the soil auction in the morning?" Yu Zhanlong had just had dinner with several partners in the real estate company industry: "Have you gained anything?"

Lu Dong put down the teapot and sat opposite Yu Zhanlong: "I bought a piece of land, in the southeast, on Xiangshuiquan Road."

Yu Zhanlong nodded slightly: "I have a good vision. For the development of the city, the first priority is the eastward expansion, and it will become prosperous soon."

Lu Dong said: "I participated in the soil auction mainly because I was curious to see it. This is not my main business."

Yu Zhanlong understood, picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and said, "I heard that you have poached a lot of people from Yum Taidong Branch?"

Lu Dong smiled: "Those things that happened before Yum were carried on by the general manager of the Taidong Division. That person is capable and experienced. He went to Lu's Catering to apply for a job. I couldn't let it go, so I hired her. In terms of operation and management of chain restaurants and Western-style fast food, she is indeed very capable. Once the probationary period is over, Lao Du...just Du Xiaobing, let her be mainly responsible for the business of Burger King. She has worked in Yum! Many old subordinates came over."

What he said was the truth: "Lu's catering has high salaries, standardized management, and old leaders are determined to invite them, so many people have jumped over here."

Hearing these words from Lu Dong, Yu Zhanlong was actually a little curious: "Last year, your Uncle Ma and I thought that your company might face big troubles, and we were ready to take action at any time. I didn't expect that you not only didn't let us old people The guy helped, and the backhand also tricked the competitors, so that the brand image of our own brand really stood up. "

Lu Dong couldn't explain it, so he could only say, "It's just luck. Who would have thought that Western-style fast food such as KFC would have such a serious problem in food safety management."

"Yeah, I didn't even think of it." Yu Zhanlong took another sip of tea: "So, we can't blindly worship foreigners. How high did we praise KFC a few years ago? It was simply regarded as a model and industry standard in the industry. The result? It’s so disappointing, its food safety problem is quite serious! Many of the craftsmanship advocated by these multinational companies is only superficial.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Lu Dong, thinking of all the things that happened last year, he couldn't help admiring in his heart, the old comrade has a good son!

This society is extremely complicated, especially in the business circle. People have been in it for a long time, and it is hard to say that there will be various changes. It is not that they have never worried about Lu Dong, but Mr. Lu gave a perfect answer.

In Zhanlong's eyes, Lu Dong is not only doing business well, but also being a good person all the time.

The former is not difficult, but the latter is extremely difficult.

But people must persist, otherwise, what is the point of their sacrifices back then?

Lu Dong also said: "A company like Yum has obvious strengths. You have to learn what you need to learn. Only when you learn well can you be competitive."

Yu Zhanlong said: "You have done a good job there, especially in catering management. On the contrary, the restaurant I participated in the investment had a random inspection some time ago, and there were many problems. If the problems were not serious, it may have been closed for rectification."

Hearing him mention the Shark Fin Palace, Lu Dong specifically asked: "Uncle Yu, I remember hearing from Yu Jing last time that the land procedures here have not been handled?"

"At that time, it was a wild and mountainous area. The people in charge of this project changed continuously, so it was delayed." Yu Zhanlong, one of the major shareholders, knew the situation: "I don't come here usually, and the people below are responsible."

Lu Dong suggested: "It's better to go through the formalities, complete the licenses, and feel at ease when operating."

Yu Zhanlong listened to this and said, "Okay, I'll let someone handle it later."

The Shark's Fin Palace has never taken it too seriously. Unexpectedly, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually become the most high-end restaurant in Quannan. Now that it has achieved this level, it is impossible to just give up.

Yu Zhanlong asked concerned: "Is there any new investment or new business?"

Lu Dong didn't need to hide anything from him, and said directly: "We are negotiating with Shaolin Temple, and we plan to jointly invest with Shaolin Temple in setting up a chain of Shaolin Temple Vegetarian Food. Whether it will work or not is hard to say."

Hearing the name of Shaolin Temple, Yu Zhanlong asked curiously: "How does the vegetarian dish in Shaolin Temple taste?"

Lu Dong smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle Yu, to be honest, I haven't eaten it, and I don't know how it tastes. I just borrowed the Shaolin Temple's signboard to use it."

Yu Zhanlong is an old businessman, and he understood what was going on when he heard it: "Okay, when your vegetarian restaurant is opened, I will definitely go there and try it."

He paused for a while, and then said a few more words: "If the conditions are right, I feel that it can be done, and it will arouse people's curiosity."

"Yes." Lu Dong replied.

If it weren't for the huge reputation accumulated by Shaolin Temple, Lu's Catering would have kicked Shaolin Temple away long ago, and found someone to start a vegetarian food chain.

The so-called Shaolin Temple Vegetarian Cuisine borrows Shaolin Temple's reputation, and the recipes and cooking methods have to be redesigned.

On the catering company side, the talks with Shaolin Temple are almost done, and it is estimated that there will be concrete results before the end of the month.

The investment involved is not small, and both sides are cautious.

In particular, Lu's Catering insisted on not interfering in the operation and management of Shaolin Temple, which was also the biggest point of disagreement.

It may even lead to the collapse of negotiations.

Even so, Lu's Catering did not waver.

Because Lu Dong had doubts, if the Shaolin Temple participated in the management and set the price based on touzhuxiang and the like, this vegetarian restaurant might become a restaurant with astronomical prices for harvesting leeks from believers.

To make this happen, it is better not to cooperate.

What Lu's Catering wants is another popular catering brand like Burger King and Lu's Hot Pot, not a Buddhist chive knife like Touzhuxiang.

The two also talked about the cooperation between Huiqiansheng Group and Gaishi Logistics. The latter has already received a big order from the former and has become the former's nationwide storage and transportation supplier.

It was late, and Yu Zhanlong was about to leave. Before he left, he said, "Lv Dong, I want to let you know that the National Fifth Academy has officially approved the administrative changes to Qingzhao and University City, and it will be officially announced soon. .”

Lu Dong's eyes lit up: "Approved!"

Yu Zhanlong warned: "You are in business, just let nature take its course and don't mix things up."

Lu Dong smiled: "Uncle Yu, how can I get involved in this kind of thing."
