70: Caught in the middle

The boss thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible if you want to take over my shop. One price, ten million!"

"Pfft…" Zhu Daqiang spat out a mouthful of milk tea.

"How much? Ten million?"

Li Lian exclaimed.

Although this was Shen City, where every inch of land was precious, the shop in front of them was less than twenty square meters.

They were transferring, meaning they were only renting, not buying!

Even if commercial properties were expensive, it wouldn't cost five hundred thousand per square meter.

Ten million was enough to buy two places here!

And this was just the transfer fee!

This person must be crazy for money!

Ye Xiaoqin clutched her heart; hearing the number ten million made her head buzz.

Qian Ziyong frowned.

Since he was going to lose money anyway, it wasn't impossible for the other party to ask for such a high price.

However, he felt like he was being taken for a fool.

"Excuse me!" Qian Ziyong shook his head and walked towards the shop next to Qingyue Milk Tea.

That was a clothing store, only thirty square meters.

"Young man, don't leave! If you think the price is too high, we can continue to negotiate!" The boss became anxious.

Who negotiates like that?

He asked for an exorbitant price, and the other party could bargain on the spot.

Good heavens, what did it mean to just walk away?

You should at least make a counter-offer!

As long as there was a counter-offer, and it wasn't outrageous, he would agree.

To be honest, this Milk Tea Shop had been losing money.

It used to be profitable, but after a new Qingyue Milk Tea opened across the street, his business went downhill.

Now, finally, someone was willing to take over…

Qian Ziyong ignored the boss and walked directly into the clothing store, seeing a middle-aged woman, and politely said:

"I want to transfer this shop. I wonder if your boss is here?"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I am the boss of this shop, but I'm not planning to transfer it!"

Qian Ziyong smiled and nodded, "I really like this shop. I'm prepared to offer two million."

"How much?" The woman couldn't believe it.

"Two million," Qian Ziyong repeated.

"Transfer, of course, transfer!" The woman didn't hesitate, filled with excitement.

Qian Ziyong gestured to Zhu Daqiang beside him and said, "Transfer the money!"

Zhu Daqiang whispered, "Boss, I think one point five million might also work!"

Qian Ziyong shook his head, "I think this shop is worth two million!"

"Since it's worth that price, then buy it at that price!"

"I, Qian Ziyong, never buy cheap things!"

"Nor do I like to take advantage of others."

Qian Ziyong added in his mind: Provided it's with the system's money.

If he was using his own money to buy things, he would save every penny he could.

Zhu Daqiang quickly took out the contract and transferred the money to the other party.

Qian Ziyong didn't bother with these things; he let the others handle them.

Soon, this shop belonged to him.

Qian Ziyong said, "Contact decoration companies in Shen City, the more the better, the bigger the better!"

"I want to open Bingmi Milk Tea Shops all over Shen City!"

"Wherever there's a Qingyue Milk Tea, there will be our Bingmi Milk Tea!"

"Wherever they open one, we'll open two!"

"In short, sandwich the Qingyue Milk Tea Shop for me!"

Qingyue Milk Tea's headquarters were in Shen City.

At the same time, Qingyue Milk Tea had many stores in Shen City.

"Okay," Zhu Daqiang nodded.

Qian Ziyong added, "The decoration of the Milk Tea Shop doesn't need to be too good; usable is fine."

"However, selling milk tea is very tiring, and this is Shen City, where consumption is high, so we must pay our Milk Tea Shop employees high wages!"

"Let's make it ten thousand a month!"

"Additionally, there will be meal allowances, transportation allowances, and housing allowances!"

"After all, there's no Feihuang Restaurant here, and employees' daily meals are a big problem."

"So the meal allowance must be high, let's say fifty yuan a day!"

"I heard that housing prices in Shen City are very expensive, so the housing allowance will be fifty a day!"

"Transportation allowance and communication fees will be five hundred a month."

"Put all of these into the contract."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Daqiang calculated and exclaimed, "Boss, with all the allowances added to the salary, it will be at least thirteen thousand five hundred yuan a month!"

"And there are also the five social insurances and one housing fund, so the labor cost has already reached around seventeen to eighteen thousand!"

The others were all startled upon hearing this.

The expenses were too high!

Qian Ziyong waved his hand, "What place is this? Shen City!"

"In Han City, I pay my employees ten thousand, and in Shen City, it's still only ten thousand, which is already very stingy!"

"In short, our Feihuang never treats its employees badly!"

"If the salary is too low, others might think our Feihuang has no money!"

"Absolutely cannot let others look down on us!"

Qian Ziyong had a clear account in his mind.

Decorating the shop would be considered a fixed asset by the system.

However, the salaries paid to employees would be consumed as much as they were paid.

So this time, Qian Ziyong learned his lesson and saved where he could on decorations.

But when it came to employee salaries, he would pay a bit more.

If it weren't too excessive and made others suspect he was intentionally losing money, he would even want to pay employees one hundred thousand a month!

Zhu Daqiang whispered, "Boss, paying the employees of Feihuang Supermarket and Hot Pot Restaurant ten thousand is because those two shops are profitable!"

"But the Milk Tea Shop…"

To be honest, the street had a lot of foot traffic, but there were already two Milk Tea Shops.

It would be really difficult for them to open two more and make money.

Qian Ziyong laughed, "The Milk Tea Shop hasn't even opened yet, how do you know it won't make money?"

"Alright, don't be so stingy. Being stingy won't make big money, right, Master Zhou!"

Zhou Kaitian awkwardly scratched his head.

If it were in front of others, he would definitely say, spend a hundred million today, earn a billion tomorrow, the more you spend, the more you earn, understand, applause.

But facing Qian Ziyong, he'd better not!

"The boss is right, I have confidence in the boss!" Zhou Kaitian said loudly.

Since the boss had already decided, Zhu Daqiang naturally wouldn't object.

"Oh, right." Qian Ziyong looked at Zhou Kaitian beside him, "You will serve as the CEO of Bingmi Milk Tea, overseeing the entire company's operations."

"Wei Xiaoyan, I now appoint you as Vice President, to assist Zhou Kaitian in managing the company."

"Your main task is to open more stores and recruit enough people!"

Zhou Kaitian's eyes were firm, and he stood up straight: "Yes, Boss!"

Wei Xiaoyan was very happy inside, but on the surface, she still reluctantly said, "Yes, Chairman."

Make her work under Zhou Kaitian?

What kind of ability did Zhou Kaitian have?

During the time Wei Xiaoyan interacted with Zhou Kaitian on the plane, she found that Zhou Kaitian seemed to have mediocre abilities.

Far worse than her classmates at Harvard.

Such a person was the CEO of a three hundred million Milk Tea Shop?

Wasn't this a godsend to her?

She had the ability and the means to sideline Zhou Kaitian.

Making Zhou Kaitian completely clueless in the company.

In this way, wouldn't the three hundred million Bingmi Milk Tea Shop be hers to command?

The reason she didn't accept offers from those other companies but chose to come to Feihuang Group was precisely for this opportunity, wasn't it?

She hadn't expected this day to come so quickly.

And Qian Ziyong was truly muddled!

She had just joined Feihuang Group, and Qian Ziyong gave her such an important position.

It seemed Qian Ziyong truly had no one else capable!

Indeed, the recently hired Ye Xiaoqin, aside from her large assets and two small dimples, could be said to be useless.

Zhou Kaitian was unreliable and had mediocre abilities.

Li Lian next to her was somewhat capable, but she hadn't attended university and came from a humble background, not fit for the big stage.

It seemed that among the entire team, only she was reliable.

So Qian Ziyong had no one else but her to entrust the company to!
