Chapter 841: So Embarrassing

Huaqing Jiayuan.

Today is Sunday, and Li Dong doesn't know if Qin Yuhan is here.

But Li Dong still didn't call in advance, women always like to have some unexpected surprises.

It would be boring to call ahead.

Let Tan Yong stay downstairs, and Li Dong went upstairs alone.

When standing at the door, Li Dong hesitated, should he knock on the door, or open it directly?

After all, Qin Yuhan doesn't live here alone, but Yang Yun is also here.

It would be embarrassing if the mother-in-law was at home and saw something she shouldn't have seen.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Dong decided that it would be better to knock on the door, so as to avoid any trouble.

He pressed the doorbell, and after a while, Li Dong heard faint footsteps, it seemed that someone was at home.

However, when the door opened, both parties froze.

The person who opened the door was stunned for a moment, and Li Dong outside the door was also stunned for a moment.

After a while, Li Dong said dryly, "Qin...Uncle Qin, why are you here?"

It stands to reason that Qin Hai is currently on a business trip and is preparing to complete the construction of the Qianjia distribution point before New Year's Day.

Qin Hai did not return to the headquarters to attend the previous meetings.

And Li Dong also knew that the place where Qin Hai was on a business trip was not the capital.

Qin Hai on the opposite side was also a little embarrassed. From a rational point of view, it was not a problem for him to come to the capital to see his wife and daughter.

The guy opposite the key is not his son-in-law now, but his boss.

When I was working, my boss caught me absenteeism, and I couldn't help but be embarrassed.

The old face was slightly flushed, Qin Hai coughed dryly and said, "Well, I happen to have some business to deal with here in the capital, so I stopped by to see Yuhan, what a coincidence."

"Ahem, it's quite a coincidence."

Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't want to embarrass Qin Hai any longer, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Qin, how is the logistics going?"

"It's good, it's going well, by the way, are you here for business?"

"Half public and half private, come to see Yuhan, I haven't seen you for some days."

"Then come in, Yuhan just went to the store, and Lao Yang and I are chatting."

It's fine if Qin Hai doesn't say this, but when he said this, the corner of Li Dong's mouth twitched suddenly.

The rhythm of dry wood and fire!

It seems that Yang Yun and Qin Hai haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that Qin Yuhan is not at home, the couple must have just finished their work.

He guessed a few words unkindly in his heart, but Li Dong didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "Then why don't I go into the house and go to the store to see Yuhan..."

"Who is it?"

The two of them were talking when Yang Yun from the room came out.

When she saw Li Dong, Yang Yun's face suddenly turned red.

Li Dong also smirked dryly, "I'm going, I really guessed it!"

Yang Yun was wearing pajamas in broad daylight, if she hadn't just woken up, she wouldn't believe it if she killed herself.

The three of them stared wide-eyed, and it took Yang Yun the first to react, and straightened his face and said, "Li Dong is here, and I didn't call in advance to ask Yuhan to pick you up. Come in, it's cold outside, don't freeze." gone."

"I……"

"Come in, you're the master, you're going home when you get here, so why bother?"

"Then, then I'm going into the house."

Li Dong dawdled into the room, while Yang Yun went back to the room to change clothes.

In the living room, Li Dong was a little uncomfortable, and Qin Hai was similar.

Lao Qin was about to cry in his heart at this time, I only come here once in a few months, and I was bumped into by you, right or wrong.

If this kid thinks he comes every day, how shameless is he?

More importantly, this is still Li Dong's house.

When I was encountered while working in Li Dong's house, I always felt a little guilty.

Lao Qin gritted his teeth secretly, no, he would have to buy a house in the capital later on.

Let my wife move out, so I won't be afraid to come to the capital again in the future.

His current salary is not low, and the year-end dividend is even higher than his salary. It is still possible to buy a house here in the capital.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts,

After being silent for a while, Li Dong felt that the father-in-law would lose face if he kept silent, so he said, "Uncle Qin..."

"Li Dong..."

Li Dong hurriedly said: "Uncle Qin, you should speak first."

Qin Hai has almost recovered by this time, old couple, we haven't seen each other for a few months, what's the matter with making out.

Besides, if this kid leaves the company, he will be a junior, why should I be afraid of him.

After clearing his throat, Qin Hai continued: "It's like this, didn't our logistics side have a one-day delivery event last time?

I thought about it for a while, and Yida has a strong core competitiveness in the current logistics system.

After all, our Yuanfang logistics is a step behind. Although we only undertake the business of the mall now, I think that logistics will become independent sooner or later.

At that time, not only the mall side, we will definitely undertake foreign business.

That being the case, then we have to create something with core competitiveness, and one-day delivery is very suitable.

However, there are also difficulties in this, the biggest difficulty is the construction of the storage center.

To achieve one-day delivery, a multi-location warehousing model is inevitable. I plan to build a large-scale warehousing center in every first-tier city.

This is the basis, and there is another point. I want to purchase the most advanced automatic sorting equipment abroad for express sorting.

In the past, all major logistics companies used manual sorting, even if there were automatic sorting equipment, they did not use much..."

Qin Hai was very serious when he talked about the business, and Li Dong listened very carefully.

It has to be said that Qin Hai still has some ideas.

Building storage centers in first-tier cities, taking one-day delivery as the core competitiveness to participate in the competition in the logistics industry, and then using automatic sorting systems can indeed greatly increase the competitiveness of Yuanfang Logistics.

Moreover, the automatic sorting system will also be used by logistics giants in the future.

Li Dong naturally supported this point.

But after Qin Hai finished speaking, Li Dong still felt a toothache.

According to Qin Hai's idea, storage centers should be built in first- and second-tier cities in China.

Taking the first- and second-tier cities as the benchmark, it radiates the entire economic circle, covering almost all of China.

The key issue is that there are more than 30 first- and second-tier cities in China, that is to say, 30 storage centers will be built at once.

Before that, Yuanfang only built 6 stores in one year, and at least more than 20 storage centers will be built in the future.

The storage center has no strict requirements on the land, as long as the transportation is convenient enough, the suburbs or uninhabited areas are better.

But no matter how cheap it is, there are more than 20 storage centers, which is not a small number.

In addition, Qin Hai suggested using automatic sorting equipment. The current automatic sorting equipment is not cheap.

After a little calculation, the total cost of 20 storage centers is an astronomical figure.

In the 13 years of his previous life, Ali established Cainiao Logistics. At that time, he announced that he would build more than a dozen warehouse centers in first- and second-tier cities, with a total investment of more than 20 billion.

Qin Hai has a bigger heart than Ali, and he can open his mouth to cover all first- and second-tier cities, which is about double that of Cainiao.

Although the cost now is not as high as a few years later, it is not cheap either.

Lin Lin finally figured it out, don't even think about less than 20 billion.

Although warehousing is one of the main costs of logistics, it is not the only cost. To build a warehousing center, you need to recruit people, right?

After recruiting people, there are fewer distribution points, and we have to continue to expand the distribution points.

To complete the construction of the entire system, the total investment will not be less than 40 billion, which is not an exaggeration at all.

Li Dong looked at Qin Hai nervously, the old man has a big heart, I didn't even think about expanding now.

Li Dong made a mall expansion plan before. According to the plan, the total investment before and after may reach more than 50 billion.

The other is the expansion of supermarkets. If you want to complete the national layout, you need more than 20 billion. As for making it bigger and stronger, you need more.

Not counting real estate, just these three things, who can resist the investment of more than 100 billion yuan in the next few years.

Li Dong breathed out, thought for a moment before saying: "Uncle Qin, I agree with what you said. But the investment is really too high, tens of billions of investment, the group really doesn't have the ability now.

The logistics side is still in a state of breakeven, and there is no profit.

According to your thinking, in the next few years, the group will need to inject tens of billions of capital into the logistics company, which is beyond my ability. "

Qin Hai was not surprised, nodded and said: "I understand what you said, but I don't mean that the funds must be in place at one time. In addition, after completing the construction of these infrastructures, we can undertake foreign business.

The profitability of logistics is still relatively high. As long as the investment in the first few phases is completed, we can be self-sufficient in the later stage.

According to my budget, as long as the group invests tens of billions in the early stage, the logistics company can maintain a certain profit.

We can complete the tens of billions of investment in the later period by ourselves. "

"Uncle Qin, the plan can't keep up with the changes. After a few years of delay, the investment at that time will not be tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions.

At that time, are you sure the logistics company will be self-sufficient?

Well, even if this goal can be achieved, tens of billions is not a small amount.

You mean that starting next year, that is, in the next two years, the group will invest at least tens of billions in logistics. Am I right about this? "

Qin Hai was slightly silent, nodded and said, "That's true."

"In the next two years, I plan to carry out large-scale expansion on the mall, and invest at least 20 billion yuan.

In terms of supermarkets, it is probably the same number.

In addition, in real estate, there will only be more and no less.

If logistics is added, then in the next two years, the group will invest at least 70 billion yuan.

The group's main source of income now is the supermarket, with an annual profit of about 4 billion to 5 billion.

Others such as shopping malls are not very profitable now, and it would be good if they can maintain 2 billion.

In terms of real estate, it is not possible to recover the cost in a day or two. From the acquisition of land to the start of construction, and then to the return of funds, two years is generally not a long time.

Calculated in this way, the group's funding gap will reach more than 50 billion in the next two years..."

The corner of Qin Hai's mouth twitched, wanting to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

The funding gap of 50 billion within two years is terrifying.

But in fact, he wanted to say, since you know the gap is so big, why do you still make so many plans?

Tens of billions of gaps are missing, and there is still a logistics gap?

But in the end, Qin Hai still didn't say a word, Li Dong expanded wildly not once or twice.

It's just that this time Li Dong chose shopping malls and supermarkets first, and put the logistics at the end.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and while they were silent, Yang Yun came down from upstairs.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"

Li Dong smiled and said: "It's okay, Uncle Qin just mentioned some development plans, and I'm thinking about how to deal with it now."

Yang Yun smiled and said, "Don't talk about business at home. I called Yuhan just now, and the girl will be right back."

Speaking of which, Yang Yun sighed again: "Recently, the girl is also very tired. While busy studying for exams, she also has to open a new store. I learned from you. I think about business all day long. Is there such a magic in doing business? "

"Store opening?"

Li Dong looked bewildered, did Qin Yuhan open a new store?

He really didn't know about this, he and Qin Yuhan usually called on the phone, and rarely talked about business matters.

"you do not know?"

Now it was Yang Yun's turn to be surprised, and she said after a while: "Young girl has opened five more branches this time, and they should be almost open after New Year's Day."

"Five!"

Li Dong opened his mouth wide, so generous?

Don't look at his dozens of hundreds of stores open at every turn, but the investment is tens of billions.

Qin Yuhan's dessert shop has only been open for a long time, and it is not a necessity of life, and the profit can only be said to be mediocre.

In the past two years, Qin Yuhan's opening of four branches in the capital actually surprised Li Dong.

Unexpectedly, this time Qin Yuhan actually opened five restaurants at once, so the number of Dongyu Dessert Houses in the capital has reached nine.

Tsk tsk, this girl is quite ambitious.

More importantly, where did she get the money?

Since the beginning of the year, Qin Yuhan has stopped taking money from Li Dong. When Hu Xiaorui withdrew, Qin Yuhan also used the shop in Pingchuan Pedestrian Street to deduct money.

The four stores in the capital are Qin Yuhan's total capital, and opening five more at once would require a considerable amount of money.

Thinking of this, Li Donggang wanted to ask about money, but after thinking about it, forget it.

It's inappropriate to ask Yang Yun about this, and I'll ask again when I meet Qin Yuhan.

Another point is that Li Dong feels a little bit uncomfortable. Qin Yuhan gave up the store in Pingchuan, and now he has opened nine stores in the capital. After graduation, does she want to stay in the capital to continue to develop?

After absent-mindedly chatting with Qin Hai and Yang Yun for a while, Qin Yuhan hurried back half an hour later.

Seeing Li Dong at home, Qin Yuhan showed joy on his face, but soon blushed again.

It didn't matter that Yang Yun was here before, there were some things that could be discussed and negotiated between mother and daughter.

Now that her father is here, and Li Dong is also here, how could she have the nerve to speak now.

Although Qin Hai acquiesced in her relationship with Li Dong, no one was together before.

Now that the four of them got together, Qin Yuhan felt a little overwhelmed.

She was embarrassed, but Li Dong had a thick skin. Seeing her back, he immediately smiled and said, "Yuhan, I'm here to see you."

Qin Yuhan gave him a blank look, at this moment Qin Hai and his wife looked at each other, and soon they both put on the excuse of going out to buy groceries, put on their shoes and left the house.

After the two left, the awkward atmosphere completely dissipated.
