Those years when I raised bosses

Contrary to Tong Tong's imagination, the Lin family's lunch and family dinner is not a free, open and lively atmosphere where people talk and laugh casually and chat with each other casually.People use a very serious long dining table for 12 people, Western-style silverware, complete sets, emphasizing the solemn sense of order.The housekeepers and servants performed their duties, silently adding wine and ordering dishes.The most important point is that no one speaks, even the sound of breathing and movement is inaudible.

Just before the meal, everyone briefly introduced one or two in order, and then Father Lin, who is the head of the house, raised his red wine glass to signal, and everyone began to bow their heads to eat.Lin Anyue and Zhou Yuning were obviously used to this slightly depressing way of eating, and Lin's mother even stayed upstairs for a meeting because of work delays.

This kind of indifferent so-called family dinner is not surprising to Tong Tong. There are no special rules for rich people.Eat without talking, sleep without talking, many traditional wealthy families talk about this.No matter who you are with, what kind of cuisine you eat, Chinese food or Western food, rules are rules and will always be strictly followed.It seems that Father Lin's main event is arranged after the meal.

Fortunately, Tong Tong's western food dining etiquette was specially trained in his previous life. The order of placing knives and forks, tasting dishes, and tasting wine, so that small details such as the position of holding the wine glass, the use and placement of tablecloths, etc. have not been revealed. A little mistake, coupled with the blessing of perfect appearance, inadvertently brought out the innate aristocratic temperament, which made Zhou Yuning amazed.

Didn't this He Liantian claim to be moving bricks on construction sites and running small businesses?Why is he not at all afraid of the perverted eating rules of the Lin family, western food etiquette is more perfect than that of the young master of the catering giant?This is not scientific.

The servants specially prepared a child seat and a whole set of children's tableware for He Xiaolu, and even the food in front of him was specially designed for children with good color and fragrance, but He Xiaolu felt that the meal was boring.Aunt Lin and Dad were talking and laughing last time when they ate together, why is everyone acting like a dummy this time, just eating without talking?Of course, He Xiaolu also knows the rules very well. Seeing that the adults don't speak, he just bears not saying anything.He is father's good baby, he must not drop scum when he eats, he must not make noise when chewing, his movements must be graceful, and he must not embarrass his father when he goes out.

Zhou Yuning felt even more emotional, thinking that when he was a child, he was often mischievous and his clothes were not clean. When his parents came to visit Lin's house, they only brought his sister Zhou Yunyue to the table. a shame.Originally, he was a bit critical of He Liantian, but after seeing his baby's performance, he already retreated a bit.

It really is someone else's child, no matter how you look at it, how good it is, this He family's baby is not yet three years old, she is so calm and able to sit still, and eats meticulously in such a depressing environment, it looks like passing Good education and training, but also has a strong self-discipline.Such a baby must have a better father or family to raise it. From a glimpse, maybe He Liantian really has some skills?

The Lin family has a great career, and Lin Anyue's knowledge since she was a child is much better than that of ordinary people. Although her relationship experience between men and women is relatively simple, she is definitely not the kind of person who is easily fascinated by a man's appearance.Zhou Yunning secretly reviewed himself, maybe he cared too much about her, that's why when he saw the young man Lin Anyue admired, he couldn't control his comparison and even hostility.

Fortunately, there was this silent lunch, which could give him a buffer time, gradually calm down, and dispel some initial childish thoughts.Anyway, He Liantian was married and had a baby after all, so how could a second-hand man compare with a single, unmarried outstanding young man?Zhou Yunning's self-confidence gradually recovered.

Tong Tong took a sneak peek at Zhou Yuning who was facing him, and seeing that his eyes finally calmed down, he thought that he was indeed the Lin family's prospective son-in-law, and he had a good brain, so he figured it out so quickly.However, when will that Miss Lin, who is obsessed with the authorities, understand the little thoughts of other outstanding young men?

After the meal, Father Lin invited He Liantian to the study alone to talk, and then ordered Lin Anyue and Zhou Yuning to accompany He Xiaolu around the villa.It was obvious that the matching of those two people and the arrangement for him, an outsider, to take the school examination alone, further confirmed the speculation just now.From the looks of Lin's father, he is quick to succeed, and Zhou Yunning is indeed a good seedling. With more time and experience, he will be more mature and stable.

Entering Father Lin's study room, as soon as the door was closed, tea was brewed. It was different from the aloof and aristocratic atmosphere of the western-style restaurant outside, and the scholarly atmosphere of a wealthy family diffused with the fragrance of tea.Father Lin didn't gossip, and directly asked about the progress of the homestay project and his future development wishes.

Lin Anyue had already reminded her of this matter, and Tong Tong had also made full preparations, and made use of a lot of experience accumulated in later generations to condense the complicated information into a 20-page streamlined report document.Put the investment income that the funders are most concerned about first, and then the results display and data support that prove the feasibility of this set of income. Finally, look forward to the replication plan of the same model, put forward the expected cooperation possibility, and even the form of additional investment A menu-style selection of high, medium and low risk levels was also carried out for the funder.

At present, after the renovation of the courtyard house in Lili Hutong is completed, the area that can be leased includes 1 business suite, 2 family rooms, 8 double standard rooms, 10 double bed attic rooms, and 2 6-person rooms.Regardless of the cheap rent for a single bed in a 6-person room, the total price of each room after the first day is higher than that of a family room with a larger area.Referring to the average price of boutique hotels in similar locations in 2002, the full rent of all rooms is about 8000 yuan a night.If the whole yard is all inclusive, no matter how many rooms you live in, you will be charged according to the high standard of 1 yuan per night.And this is only the basic pricing for the last two years, and it will increase year by year with the off-season and peak season and the consumption level of the imperial capital.

In the first few months of opening, it is estimated based on an average occupancy rate of 50%, and the monthly turnover is about 8. After deducting operating costs and taxes, the monthly net profit is about 50.Not to mention catching up with the imperial capital's vigorous development of tourism, appropriate tax reduction or rebate for new small and micro enterprises that meet the entry threshold, and the first two years can be completely free of tax issues.And because of the unique boutique accommodation experience of the courtyard house, it is the first in the imperial capital, and there is no competitor at all for the time being.Once opened, the occupancy rate of the courtyard house may be far more than 80%, and [-]% can be easily achieved all year round. The profit at that time will be very amazing.

If all goes well, the Lin family's initial investment of 200 million plus 5% annual interest will definitely pay off the principal and interest within two years and leave safely, achieving the original investment purpose of the funder.

But Tong Tong was still dissatisfied with this, and diligently analyzed and compared the income models of divestment and equity participation in various proportions, and presented them in the form of concise charts with office software.If the investment is not withdrawn or part of the funds is retained, and dividends such as equity participation are made, the future income will rise with the rapid development of the tourism industry and the rise in price levels around the Olympics, and it can even be expected to maintain a stable return on investment of more than 20% per year.In an era when real estate has not yet taken off, stocks have just entered a bear market, and ordinary people are still obsessed with fixed deposits with only 5% interest for 3 years, a 20% return on investment is indeed quite attractive.

This thin 20-page document contains such a thick and detailed information that Father Lin, who has always been calm, couldn't help but smile when he read it.

Of course, what impresses Lin's father is not the expectations of various investment returns. To put it bluntly, a few million is just a drop in the bucket for the Lin family, and it is not enough to buy a good car.From this document, Father Lin saw He Liantian's attitude and extraordinary talent in investment management.

This young man not only clearly knows the goals and concerns of the sponsor, but also puts forward higher goals in a targeted manner and gives practical methods.This kind of talent cannot be obtained by studying in a prestigious school.What's more, I heard that He Liantian doesn't have a bachelor's degree. Does all this experience and intuition, this rigorous yet bold style of doing things really come from social experience?How much talent and hard-working self-learning ability does this require?

However, Lin's father was not in a hurry to say words of praise, and deliberately raised a few tricky questions with a calm face.It is nothing more than doubts about some basic data, and the prospect of the so-called boutique accommodation is really that good?International environment, domestic environment, will there really be no accidents?

"It is true that there will be some hidden worries about natural disasters, which will have a negative impact on the tourism market." Tong Tong was thinking about the S virus incident, "so our homestay has made some emergency plans in advance. In addition, I heard from a news channel It is said that some new types of virus epidemics have recently appeared in the south, but during the Spring Festival period, no national epidemic prevention measures have been seen in the country... With so many people in the country moving around during this period, in case some sources of infection spread to the imperial capital, The consequences are unimaginable."

Father Lin frowned slightly. Naturally, he had already heard through channels that the big city in the south had already adopted local epidemic prevention measures, but some large-scale public events were still held as scheduled. Obviously, the high-level officials were too optimistic.Father Lin also knew that a relevant international organization had issued an official letter requesting that major cities in China, including the imperial capital, raise the level of disease control and defense.It seems that He Liantian has a wide range of paths, and ordinary people will never know these things casually.

"In case there is an outbreak of a national epidemic disease, the imperial capital will definitely adopt higher prevention and control measures to limit the flow of people. At that time, I suggest that the homestays in the courtyard are temporarily closed. Just in case, one or two months after the Spring Festival I also plan to do staff training and trial operation first. Overseas websites will only post promotional materials to make them famous, and then accept reservations after two or three months..." Tong Tong briefly stated the whole set of emergency plans that had been prepared earlier, " Earning money also requires life, and a gentleman loves money in a proper way. Especially when tourists and accommodation receive guests from south to north, the flow of people is very large, and it must not be neglected.”

Father Lin naturally agreed with He Liantian's prudence and overall view, and nodded with a smile: "You are right, if you encounter that special situation and the courtyard house cannot be operated temporarily, my investment funds will also be reduced for the period of time you are closed. Interest."

This is what Tong Tong was waiting for.

After some detailed discussions, Lin's father finally chose the model of withdrawing 2 million yuan after 150 years, leaving only 50 yuan as a shareholding.And the 150 million plus interest withdrawn from this project will be reinvested in the next project, and may even add more investment to replicate this successful model.

After talking about the business, Father Lin suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. He, your outfit is not cheap, it's just that this hundred-yuan Shanghai-brand watch doesn't match well, and it's time to change it."

Women's bags and men's watches are all things that represent social status.Tong Tong naturally knew this, but this time he deliberately did not buy a new watch, which can save costs and has other meanings.

"Mr. Lin, this watch was a gift from my wife when I got married. It is very memorable. At that time, our life was very poor, and we rented a self-built house in an urban village that cost 350 yuan a month. But we have been working hard. Work, this is the money she saved from working, and she was reluctant to eat and drink by herself, but bought me a gift that was already very "precious" for her income." Tong Tong was immersed in the happy memory of He Liantian, feeling Feng Pei said solemnly, "I have the opportunity to sit in front of you today and talk about the homestay business of the courtyard house, all thanks to the inheritance left by my deceased wife's mother. She has no chance to accompany me to reap today's achievements, but I I hope she can see that Xiaolu and I are getting better and better, so that she can feel the happiness with us when she is alive."

Father Lin was obviously shocked by these words.I can't tell from the outside, but He Liantian is such a long-term lover?Originally, he was thinking of continuing to hit He Liantian with a few words, but now he was relieved that his daughter's petty thinking might not succeed.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, Lin's father secretly sighed for his daughter's fruitless feelings, and then he spoke to He Liantian a little more gently than before: "Mr. He, since you are from here, I don't know if you think Zhou Yunning Is it a good match with An Yue?"

"Although I just met today and I don't have time to learn more about it, Mr. Zhou's words and demeanor reveal a good upbringing. The most important thing is that he is infatuated with Ms. Lin. I'm afraid that Ms. Lin has not yet fully understood her feelings, and she has some feelings for Mr. Zhou." The inherent not-so-good impression. Perhaps the two of them are too familiar, and it is difficult for Ms. Lin to strike a spark with him because of the constant deepening of those solidified impressions. It is indeed a bit difficult for the relationship between the two to go further." Although Tong Tong had a difficult marriage back then, he gained some insights through reading books and observing other people's love process.This is the unique delicacy of women, and it is easier to understand Lin Anyue's true thoughts.

Of course, Lin's father knew that the family rules were too strict. He restrained his daughter since she was a child and made her focus on all her studies. She strictly implemented the idea of ​​preventing puppy love in junior high school, high school, and even undergraduate, which inevitably caused some negative effects on her.Now that she is about to graduate with a master's degree and suddenly jumped into the blind date and marriage link, her daughter couldn't adapt for a while, and she couldn't blame her for deliberately avoiding it.

"So what's your suggestion, Mr. He? You are already partners, and you usually work together a lot. Does she have a favorite character design? I can ask Zhou Yunning to correct and adjust in that direction. A long flow of water will always make An Yue Feeling very dependent on him.”

Tong Tong did not agree with Lin's father's idea. From the perspective of the thinking mode of a strong woman, she put forward a different point of view: "Miss Lin is very strong and excellent. You also hope that she can be independent and not lose to men in everything. Stir up the family business of your Lin family. But I think she is still a small bird in her bones. When she is tired from flying, she needs a harbor where she can dock. It is easier to be attracted to men who are stronger than her to feel safe. And she is kind and smart. I will also fully respect that man's career and personality. If you ask Zhou Yunning to change himself to cater to Ms. Lin, he will be very sad, and Ms. Lin may not like that kind of man.

With all due respect, I think it might be a good idea to try to separate the two of them temporarily, or not to see each other as often as they do now.It is good to get along with childhood sweethearts day and night, but everyone needs an independent space and field, and the beauty and reverie generated by the distance will gradually dilute the previous negative impressions, and perhaps it will be conducive to the beautiful extension of the relationship between the two? "

It's really ingenious, and it sounds like it makes sense.Father Lin was thoughtful, and decided whether to follow the young man's suggestion and give it a try.

Father Lin showed a loving face, and smiled, "In mid-March, An Yue will be invited to Berlin to receive the International Design Award. Zhou Yunning originally clamored to go with her. How about this, why don't you go with An Yue?" , It’s fun with Xiaolu’s child. Not only Berlin, but also the surrounding classics, it’s considered a wrong-peak vacation. You are a partner in this project, and you should receive the award together. I heard that you are good at English and German, An Yue The award application materials are all translated by you, which is more convenient and saves you to find a professional translator. I will send Yunning far away to facilitate your trip, and see how they react?"

Tong Tong secretly smiled wryly, the feeling of being used as a wooden barn envoy is really not good, if it offends the young master on Tuesday, how can Shengdou Xiaomin, who is a small businessman, be able to bear it?But if he refuses now, the big benefactor will definitely not be happy, and if he wants to make more investments in the future, I am afraid it will be much more difficult.It's not a choice at all.

"I will cover your father and son's full first-class cabin, five-star hotel accommodation, tickets to major tourist attractions and three meals at the same consumption level as Anyue. In addition, I will give you a separate salary. The translation and accompanying fee is 5000 yuan per day. The estimated itinerary is 10 days. , you can give the money in advance after completing the passport and visa, how about it?" Father Lin took the time to offer a series of attractive conditions, and looked at He Liantian with a smile, as if asking: Do you agree, agree, or agree? ?
