Chapter 258
"Mr. Kurakura, is this model a big deal?"
"It must be a problem. China will soon be joining the WTO. In the past few years, it will usher in rapid development. There are more and more opportunities for business trips and travel meetings. The demand for safe, clean and affordable business and accommodation will explode. This company can go public on Nasdaq within five years. This is very likely."
“Well, can the hotel chain business be listed on Nasdaq?”
"Of course, remember a few key points: economy hotels, unified decoration chain operations, reduce operating costs, try not to rent land and build buildings, and do not join the company."
"Mr. Cang, I remember these points. But I am still a little uneasy. I am not well-off at all. Even if you have more than 100 million US dollars, it is not enough to buy a few pieces of land to build a few buildings. Why don't you invest in me? Let's do this business together?"
"I think you are not short of funds. You want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs. Are you not afraid that I will lose the favor?"
"Not afraid, since you told me about this business, you will definitely not do it yourself. I feel that money will not be very fast when doing this. If you either think that the profit is low or that it is troublesome, I guess it is the second type. Of course I want to bring you together to do it."
"I don't have to invest in you, but I'm too lazy to enter these industries, so I only invest money. Once the right opportunity appears, I will reduce my holdings, so I don't want the right to vote, so you can rest assured. But I have a few words to say in front."
"Okay, Mr. Kura, you said, I'll listen."
"First, this company's valuation is 500 million US dollars. You invest 100 million US dollars and hold 40% of the shares. I will invest another US$300 million, accounting for 60% of the shares. But I don't want voting rights, it's just a simple equity investment, which can be written into the contract.
Second, all your energy must be invested in this company in order to make the chain hotel bigger and stronger and go public as soon as possible. I don’t want you to be half-hearted because your business accounts for 20% of the shares.
Even if you hire a professional manager, you have to continue to invest your energy, otherwise the industry will collapse even if it has a good prospect.”
"This is certain, sure, I don't have any other industry anymore. OK, you continue."
"Third, I will send professional accounting personnel to the company as CFOs. At the beginning of the establishment of the company, I will do financial planning according to the requirements of a listed company in Nasdaq, so don't play tricks about transferring funds or other tricks.
I don’t actually trust you. Although you are capable, you are too cunning. Remember that you can only be proud for a while with a clever mind and cannot be glorious for a lifetime. Never lose your big fortune because of a small matter.”
"Mr. Kurakura, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"
"It's definitely not a misunderstanding. I think people are very accurate. I heard that you have registered a new company and are registering the Red Bull trademark? Is there anything wrong?"
"Well, I'm afraid that other companies will use the Red Bull brand and cause unnecessary losses."
"Then why did you register a new company to operate this?"
"This, this..."
"No need to explain, I'm not interested. I know other things about you. I have enough money and enough ability to do what I want to do. You have to remember this. It's easy for me to send you to prison. And I guarantee that the evidence is conclusive, and even the king of heaven can't get the case."
"Mr. Kura, I..."
"Needless to say, I just tell you that your tricks under the table are not very clever. I can play this ten times better than you. For example, if you don't agree to the sale of shares, I will dilute your shares directly below 1% with the money, and I will not waste time and play with you."
"Mr. Cang, I have agreed to sell these shares. The company I applied for the Red Bull trademark belongs to you. It is fair for you to hold 60% of the shares in the hotel chain. I have no objection and fully agree."
"I know you agree, but I didn't treat you badly, so you will naturally agree. I just tell you that you are very capable, but if you keep being clever, you won't be able to accomplish anything. There are many capable people, and no one is irreplaceable."
"Mr. Kura, I've recorded it."
"Fourth, the property properties of chain hotels must be our own and cannot be rented. The reason for this is that I am optimistic about the appreciation prospects of real estate. Moreover, real estate is our own, so we can mortgage loans with banks to achieve circular development. I have a good relationship with the bank. I have more than 40% of the shares in China Merchants Bank, which can provide you with some convenience in this regard."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Cang had such a deep relationship. In China, people who can hold so many shares in a bank are big shots, and none of them are simple. I really admire him."
"Fifth, chain hotels are called Home Inn, Home Inn Express Hotel. You can develop more corporate customers, provide them with corporate services, and directly negotiate with those big companies and give them membership prices so that you don't have to worry about customer sources.
The chain hotel industry has just started in China. There are only one or two companies on the market, and the scale is very small. With our capital volume and connections, we seize the opportunity to develop rapidly. You are the leader of this industry, the leader and rule makers of this industry."
"Okay, Mr. Cang, after you said this, I am now full of confidence. In this industry, Home Inn must be the largest in the industry and a leading company. Don't worry about this."
"Just let go, let me reiterate that you can get the extra 20% of the shares, that is, you can no longer engage in hotel chains outside Home Inns. I don't want you to play tricks such as ridiculous cicadas and secretly going to Chencang.
I also tell you clearly that I have also registered a hotel brand, namely Hanting Hotel. If your Home Inn is doing well, Hanting Hotel is just a super five-star hotel chain brand.
If you don’t do well, Hanting will start an economical hotel chain business. If you insist on me to end up in person, don’t blame me for not giving you a way out.”
Yan Chaobin wiped the sweat from his forehead again and again. He could see that Cang Yaozu had a bad first impression of him. He knew all his past actions clearly, but how could he explain this? He had to answer.
Yan Chaobin had no choice but to express his determination and said, "Mr. Cang, I will do my best. This is a small business. You can't get it yourself. If we account for less than 50% of the market share of convenience hotels, I will come and see you."
"Don't be careless, there will be no fewer competitors in this industry. Although they are all domestic, there are many capable people. There are many people who can crush you in all aspects from their abilities, education and character.
So you have to pay attention to the recruitment and cultivation of talents. Although I don’t attach much importance to this industry, since I have invested, I cannot fail. This is my principle.”
"I will never fail. I will start recruiting when I go back. Although I am a rude man, I can use talents. I will implement the precautions you said 200%.
If you send the chief financial officer to take charge, don’t worry, Ayao, if our Home Inn develops slowly, I will be guilty of it.”
"Okay, then I'll depend on your performance. I hope you don't let me down. I hope you can see the day when Home Inn's market value exceeds 10 billion US dollars as soon as possible, and I hope to see Home Inns reaching 50 billion US dollars and 100 billion US dollars as soon as possible.
As long as you make a little achievement, someone will follow you soon, and they will imitate you or even surpass you. After all, the difficulty of replication in this industry is particularly low. As long as you have money to spend, you can always make some splashes.
So remember, the speed must be fast, first choose the site, buy land, and then build a hotel."
"Mr. Cang, I will give you papaya. I will report you to Qiongyao. Don't worry, I will spread it out as soon as possible so that they can't catch up with our progress."
"Well, under normal circumstances, I will pursue win-win or even more wins. After all, money can't be made, but don't challenge my bottom line.
If someone breaks my bottom line, I will use any means to deal with it, and the means may be very violent. Because I have the right to do this, so, you know.
Mr. Yan, you can rest in the villa next to you or have fun here. This villa area is mine. You can live wherever you want. As long as it is a villa with no one, you can find a staff member to take you there."
"Thank you, Mr. Cang, I'll rush back tomorrow and start our plan."
After Yan Chaobin left, Xu Shubiao asked: "Ayao, do you don't like this guy? By the way, are you optimistic or not in the real estate industry?"
"This guy has the ability, but he is too slick and has a lot of courage. He dares to do anything. I have to knock him in advance.
That is, you incorporated Red Bull into Seagram, otherwise, I would doubt whether you could make money from him.
The real estate industry is definitely worth a lot of potential, especially the real estate industry in China. Because the development of this industry is closely related to the development of the entire country's economy, I am optimistic about it.
But I usually only do commercial real estate. I have some troubles in housing and have too many troubles. I earn hard-earned money from the people and have bad reputation. I don’t want to participate.”
"So, do you think you can make money by placing more houses?"
"I asked Home Inn to buy land and build a building. One is to facilitate mortgage loans and recycle funds, and the other is to reduce costs. Rents are a considerable expenditure. In the end, it is value-added. It is normal for the real estate industry to have a 10-fold increase."
"Oh, then it's feasible for me to invest in some real estate in my hometown Qiongdao?"
"Qiongdao is a bit special. The main reason is that the real estate bubble burst in the past few years, and the price is not easy, but in the long run, growth is inevitable. Moreover, Qiongdao has obvious geographical advantages and pleasant climate. As the only tropical island province in China, it is the most popular tropical coastal resort in China.
Qiongdao has no winter seasons, abundant sunshine, fresh air and pure water quality. It can be called a paradise on earth, the pearl of the South China Sea, well, it is the biggest competitor of Lingxi Country's tourism industry, so I will create a different tourism culture and unique attractions from Hainan Island and conduct differentiated competition."
"Then let's cooperate to build some projects. I really want to build my hometown."
"Yes, Lingxi is still a little smaller after all, so we can discuss it carefully when we look back. I live with several world-class architectural designers. You can communicate with them more. Anyway, you have money now. If you spend 100 million US dollars, you can build a landmark building in the southern part of Qiongdao."
December 1997 was not easy. The financial crisis still enveloped this land. I don’t know how many bankrupt companies were, so Xie Guomin and Thaksin were both very busy.
The reason why I came to Cang Yaozu is because Cang Yaozu has the cash flow they need most at this stage.
But Cang Yaozu would not take out the money in vain, nor would he rashly enter some industries. He basically acquired industries and high-quality assets that he is optimistic about.
After hearing that Cang Yaozu wanted to join forces with the royal family to promote the launch of the Kra Canal project, Yang Deno and Demi Company both came to Cang Yaozu. They must participate in this project. This is a big project worth tens of billions of dollars.
Cang Yaozu did not reject their joining, but he would not let go if he did not allow him to hold more shares. After all, the wealth will not flow to outsiders.
Of course, Cang Yaozu would also bring in China's construction companies to do this big project. Only by bringing in China's construction companies can the Kra Canal project be completed on time or even in advance.
After all, in terms of construction speed, China's construction companies say second, but no one dares to say first.
