Chapter 747 Business Begins
As New Year's Day approached, Wang Tiedan's KFC advertisements appeared in newspapers and on television in all parts of the city.
Exquisite pictures, cute and playful advertising girls and boys, and dynamic theme songs "My Territory", "Sour and Sweet Is You", and "Sweet".
Large posters, TV screens, free samples of fries and soda.
The people of the old city were bombarded from all angles including vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch.
It can be said that KFC’s fame had spread throughout the capital before it even opened for business.
Wang Tiedan spent a lot of money to buy all six stores. At the same time, next to the stores or not far away, there is a grocery store being renovated, as if it is also waiting to open.
These were all bought by Wang Tiedan, without any stinginess.
The ancient architectural carvings, Western-style decoration, and huge signboards can be seen from a distance and are very attractive.
In the upper circles, many people have also noticed KFC, and many have even inquired about the financial backers behind the stores.
It's easy to find out.
However, after learning more about the situation, they basically stopped their actions.
Half a month ago, when Wang Tiedan's vehicle arrived in Beijing, the Wansheng Group inspection team, led by General Manager Zhang Zidong, had a cordial interview with the Municipal Party Committee.
On the one hand, they donated 1980 million US dollars for the capital's infrastructure, and on the other hand, they reached a preliminary investment agreement of 1.5 million US dollars. (Exchange rate in )
Although this investment was not the first one introduced into Beijing after the reform and opening up, it was definitely the first investment exceeding 100 million yuan, and the sensation it caused can be imagined.
Thanks to Zhang Zidong's deliberate actions, the senior management had a clearer understanding of Wansheng Group's background.
The legal person behind the scenes is named Pei, an old Chinese doctor, and Wang Tiedan is the only heir, who officially took over in 1979.
Wang Tiedan has a clear background and is a retired colonel, so he is not someone that ordinary people can mess with.
Therefore, some little Karami had already backed off when they learned about the first level of identity.
The older Karami was also deterred.
Of course, there are also some stubborn people who want to get a piece of the pie, but the time has not yet come for them to act.
……
With the green light from the municipal party committee, several other projects of Wang Tiedan are also being renovated in an orderly manner, and they also bear the mark of Hong Kong businessmen.
The playground consists of some traditional projects of later generations, such as the naughty castle and soft park, which are suitable for children under nine years old. They are all designed by Wang Tiedan himself and specially customized by manufacturers. They are unique in the world.
Kindergartens are a little slower and are still in the intensive training and recruitment stages. The first wave of admissions will only begin after the New Year.
The name has been decided, it is called Caterpillar Kindergarten, which means breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.
In addition to the curriculum that refers to the Xiangjiang Kindergarten, a number of unique courses have been added, including martial arts combat, music and dance, painting and musical instruments, etc., which can definitely fully develop children's various abilities.
The electronics mall has a yard facing the street, which it has simply renovated and is waiting for the electrical appliances to be shipped in from Hong Kong and go on sale on New Year's Day.
As for guesthouses and hotels, we can only wait until the buildings are completed.
There is also Latoule soda, the equipment is already in the warehouse, waiting for the factory to be built so that it can be put into production immediately.
Compared with Wang Tiedan's calmness, the business of the old residents of No. 95 Yard is booming.
The most successful one is definitely Xu Damao.
Ever since Wang Tiedan promised that he could rent a refrigerated truck, Xu Damao spent a lot of money to learn driving skills.
As soon as the refrigerated truck arrived, he immediately started the seafood delivery business.
With the blessing of a brand-new refrigerated truck and Xu Damao's eloquence.
Just like what Wang Tiedan said, Xu Damao makes money just like picking it up.
In just half a month, he made more than 30 trips between Beijing and Tianjin and earned more than 2,000 yuan.
In other words, gasoline is difficult to deal with.
Otherwise, the profit would have to be doubled.
Of course, Xu Damao was also very arrogant. While waiting for gasoline, he ran to Wang Tiedan's house with a big gold chain around his neck to order an air conditioner.
The reason is that his son is too fat and he can't stand the summer.
Damn, it’s almost winter, okay! ?
Today's air conditioners do not have heating function.
Another company that is doing well is Banggeng, which is quite unexpected.
It is said that Banggeng went to Ningbo personally and shipped the shoes back. On the day of the store opening, he gave away insoles when you bought a pair of shoes, and the store was almost broken by the customers.
It is not known how much the profit was, but that night the Jia family enjoyed a feast with delicious food and constant laughter.
The next day, Jia Zhang sat at the door, looking down on people. Her arrogant look seemed to have brought back the days when Yi Zhonghai was still alive.
After that, it was the couple Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li. Just like in the previous life, the restaurant had been lukewarm except for the first day.
The two of them immediately visited Sha Zhu, wanting him to help, and offered a high price.
But who is Shazhu?
It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, face comes first.
He was the canteen director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and was forced to work for Yan Laokou's son.
Grandma!
Besides, Shazhu is not short of money.
First, there weren't as many people sucking his blood as in his previous life.
But her own salary is 129, plus subsidies. She usually earns more than 100 yuan by cooking for her apprentices outside, which is considered Zhuo Xiaohe's salary. Even with the children she has to raise, she has saved a lot of money over the years.
Sha Zhu knew exactly what kind of people Yan Jiecheng and his wife were.
It's really a loss of status to work for them.
Yan Jiecheng and his wife had no choice but to continue asking about the chef.
Perhaps it was fate that brought them together and they found Fatty, Sha Zhu's apprentice.
The fat man was a man who only cared about whoever gave him milk. When he heard that the salary was higher than that of the steel mill, he secretly tried the food.
Although the dishes are not so authentic, the cooking skills are barely better than the previous chef.
Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li immediately made the decision and offered three hundred per month to stimulate Sha Zhu and the people in the kitchen.
The fat man was attracted by the benefits and resigned arrogantly on the eve of New Year's Day.
This is something.
Seeing Xu Damao and Banggeng getting rich, Wang Tiedan’s business is about to flourish, and it is impossible for the other residents in the courtyard not to be jealous.
The most active one is Liu Haizhong.
He always came to visit No. 95 Courtyard, and every time he passed by some construction sites, he heard people talking about steel several times. In any case, it was in great shortage.
At first Liu Haizhong didn't care about it, but later when he heard that his apprentice Xiao Lanyao was promoted to the director of the rebar factory, he suddenly became interested.
With the relationship between me and Director Lan, it would be easy for me to achieve some unplanned targets every month.
The only problem is that there is not enough capital and I am not familiar enough with the process.
Liu Haizhong also understood his own situation and knew that he was not smart enough, so he did not dare to do it alone.
Liu Haizhong started by selecting three people.
Yan Bugui, Wang Tiedan, and Xu Damao.
The most suitable one should be Yan Bugui, an old friend. After testing each other, he was eliminated first because he was unwilling to pay and was timid.
The second most suitable candidate is Wang Tiedan, who has financial resources, status, and vision. However, the other party seems to look down on the profits from his rebar, so it doesn't work out either.
After much deliberation, Liu Haizhong chose Xu Damao.
He also knew that Xu Damao was dealing in seafood, but that was just a tiny bit of profit.
The state-set ex-factory price for each ton of rebar is 550 yuan per ton, and the supply price is 585 yuan per ton. At this time, the supply of steel is very tight, there will be a premium, and the profit per ton is more than fifty yuan.
A construction site often has hundreds of tons of steel, and the profit can be tens of thousands of yuan at a time, not to mention the transportation. It's not as profitable as selling seafood.
