Rebirth: If the school beauty is not sweet, why should I lick her?

March is the season for sowing.

Especially when Chen Meng woke up, he began to work hard with the help of Zhou Jiangnan's resources. He initially gained the friendship of Cai Dongfeng and took a half-step into a small political circle in Lin'an.

Zhou Jiangnan felt that his efforts were like seeds sown in fertile depressions, which were gradually taking root and sprouting, and flowering and bearing fruit were foreseeable in the future.

Lying on the boss chair on the eighth floor, he began to take stock of himself.

First of all, in terms of career, the Schindler Group was thriving, driving his wealth and social status to rise.

Among the two pearls, Jiangnan Mingyue chain stores exceeded 3,500, with an estimated market value of 4 billion yuan, and the speed of franchising is still skyrocketing.

Now Dingsheng Catering is basically only engaged in the upstream chain in the field of fresh fruit tea business, that is, only developing formulas, raw materials and related supporting products.

All franchise stores must be supplied with raw materials by the headquarters. The catering subsidiary has a firm grip on the pricing power of raw material supply and a huge demand for raw materials. It can recruit suppliers at a price much lower than the market price, and then supply all branches at a price slightly higher than the market price.

The price difference is a secret that cannot be told, and there are also franchise fees for new stores and technical guidance fees...

Dingsheng Catering is basically making money lying down now, and its core work has changed from business expansion to brand value maintenance.

The legal department of Schindler Group has been expanding again and again, mainly because of the sharp increase in rights protection business. There are many counterfeit and high-end imitations on the market. The legal department has set up a special anti-counterfeiting office, running around the country all day long, specializing in sending lawyers' letters to sue for infringement.

Therefore, the brand value of Jiangnan Mingyue is well maintained. Even if the franchise fee is higher than other brands, venture capitalists are still willing to choose to join here.

This has opened up a very stable source of cash flow for Schindler Group, which is enough to ensure that Zhou Jiangnan spends money lavishly to invest in other money-burning industries.

Another bright spot is the group buying industry. Although the group buying business under Xunda Technology no longer fights a price war with Magnesium Group under the strong intervention of the regulator, it has gained an overwhelming advantage thanks to the advantages of the offline takeaway team. Xunda Technology has been eroding Magnesium Group's market share bit by bit. Xunda Technology has been strongly suppressing Magnesium Group, making its valuation higher and higher. Less than two months after the Chinese New Year, it has increased by another 500 million US dollars to 4.5 billion US dollars. Wang Jialu is leading the pace of Xunda Technology's listing. Many investors have heard the news and are waiting to invest strongly when it goes public. Fruit tea and group buying, these two bright spots, shine brightly on Xunda Group. In contrast, new energy batteries, biopharmaceuticals, etc. are all losing money and are still burning money. In addition to these fields, Zhou Jiangnan has also invested in drones, cultural media, and financial payment projects, all of which are in the early stage of burning money and need a long time to settle. But it doesn't matter. In a few years, all these industries will bear fruitful results. Don't be afraid of burning money, because the future is bright.

Schindler Group has set up a professional team to manage finances. Zhou Jiangnan only needs to know that the funds on the books are increasing day by day.

Looking at the cash flow of billions, he fell into deep thought.

When he went to the private club two days ago, General Manager Liu suggested that his headquarters building should be more grand. It is too stingy for a large group that will go to 100 billion in the future to build a headquarters building with only 16 floors.

At that time, Zhou Jiangnan just laughed it off, and later he thought it made sense.

We should look at things from a development perspective. Now it seems that 16 floors are enough, but what about in the future?

In the future, Schindler Group will be involved in many industrial fields. The headquarters building represents the face of the enterprise. How can it convince people with virtue without being more grand?

Change, must change!

Zhou Jiangnan decisively called Cai Dongfeng and took advantage of the fact that he was still the mayor of Lin'an to quickly implement this matter.

It is now mid-March. At the end of March, he will take up the position of executive vice governor. At that time, some things will be hard to say.

"Uncle Cai, I have to ask you for help on this matter. My headquarters building is too short. I want to adjust the regulations and make it higher. Can you help to inform the Planning Bureau?"

"Is sixteen floors not high enough?"

"Not enough, why not do it all at once and go straight to thirty-six floors!"

"Wow, you are rich, how much budget do you need to increase?"

"Money is not a problem. If you don't have it, just ask the bank for it. I am also increasing investment in Lin'an."

"Good boy, you have ambition."

After Cai Dongfeng hung up the phone, he immediately called the director of the Planning Bureau and asked him to complete the review of the Schindler headquarters building within a week.

RegulationsThe planning director was not originally from his faction, but he could not stand the new executive vice-provincial governor, and he did not want to be attacked before he left, so he hurriedly agreed.

Three days later, the planning adjustment of Schindler headquarters was approved through the green channel, and the project investment was increased by more than 1 billion yuan.

Mr. Liu laughed happily after hearing the news. He was the general contractor of the project, and with the additional investment from the sponsor, he would definitely make a lot of money again.

So he couldn't sleep at night, so he called Zhou Jiangnan and invited him to play golf.

"Uh, Lao Liu, I can only play the kind of ball that makes a clacking sound, but I can't play the ball that you can't hit the hole with dozens of shots. I can't play such an elegant project."

"Just play casually. You, Mr. Zhou, are now a rich man. You should learn these aristocratic sports. Which CEO doesn't play golf?"

"Learn? Learn a shit! I'm just a rural peasant, not an aristocrat."

"Hahaha, who isn't? Come on, I'll organize a game tomorrow. There are many friends in the Lin'an business community. Let's get to know each other."

Mr. Liu smiled indifferently and added: "By the way, remember to bring your female companion. Women are men's faces outside. I don't need to say more about the details, right?"

He hung up the phone, and Zhou Jiangnan shook his head speechlessly.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Lao Liu's game is probably not just about resource exchange, but also about secret competition.

In ancient times, the stone kings competed for wealth with gold, silver, jewelry, corals and trees, but now these idiots compete with women for whether they are top-notch or not.

It's fine if we're competing in this, but if we're really competing in golf, I'll just have to perform as a shit-shoveler.

Zhou Jiangnan thought to himself that among his group of female confidantes, Jiang Xinyue, a wealthy woman from Shanghai, was the only one who knew this sport.

As a result, when he called her, Jiang Xinyue rejected him with disdain.

"No, no, there's no point in playing golf. I'm only focused on my career now. I have an appointment to discuss cooperation tomorrow. Go play golf by yourself."

The phone call was hung up neatly.

Zhou Jiangnan wanted to grab her and beat her up.

After thinking about it again, Fang Xin and Zhao Wanwan were both students and didn't know this sport either. It seemed that there was really no suitable candidate, so he casually asked Chen Zijin, but she said excitedly:

"I can do it, I can do it, take me with you and I'll teach you."
