Chapter 310 Blooming Everywhere!
After Liu Ting left, she made a series of arrangements non-stop.
Soon, under the orderly guidance of Shiwang Group employees, the front desk of Shiwang Group, which originally seemed crowded, suddenly returned to tranquility after people left in an orderly manner.
It is worth mentioning that there was an endless stream of people coming to sign contracts, which actually potentially affected the mentality of many merchant owners and strengthened their desire to enter the Shiwang brand APP.
In the past, Shiwang Group did not have enough space. There were only three or four conference rooms in total, which could not cope with the continuous flow of business owners coming.
After all merchants are directed to the nearby hotel conference hall, the information of more than ten merchants can be reviewed at the same time, and the speed of signing contracts immediately increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this rate, it will not be a problem to complete all merchant signings today.
After all, the Shiwang brand APP currently only notifies and signs contracts around the ten commercial streets it is involved in. The total number of streets around those ten commercial streets is less than a hundred, and the number of large and small catering shops involved is probably more than a thousand. about.
It is foreseeable that when these merchants are included in the Shiwang brand APP, Shiwang Group will form an absolute monopoly in the ten commercial street areas where the Shiwang brand is involved!
At least in the field of food delivery, no one will be able to compete with it!
...
Real King Group.
After arranging the signing, Liu Ting was called to the office by Cao Xingyu, and Li Juan, general manager of the financial center, was also called in.
"Mr. Cao." Liu Ting and Li Juan shouted in unison.
Cao Xingyu said ‘hmm’ and asked:
"How much cash flow does our company currently have on its books?"
"There are currently 753.56 million." Li Juan quickly reported a number.
"Oh." Cao Xingyu nodded. The capital flow was similar to what he remembered.
There is a slight increase of tens of millions. It should be because Xie Qing followed the investment after the two shops on Daxing Road Pedestrian Street were added to the company. Coupled with the daily membership recharge turnover, it is reasonable to see an increase of tens of millions.
Naturally, Cao Xingyu didn't ask this out of sudden inspiration.
But because of the recent series of counterattacks against Mei Tuan, which has come to an end after the launch of the third-party merchant entry function of the Shiwang brand APP, many employees have been freed up.
Coupled with the fact that the other two food delivery platforms have already shown a show-going attitude, Cao Xingyu feels that he can consider the next step of expansion.
When the company had 700 million in capital before, he did not make any other moves.
On the one hand, I want to be conservative and see the reaction from Mei Tuan first. With money in my pocket, I will be more confident.
On the other hand, the manpower at the Shiwang Group headquarters was limited after all. At that time, the focus was to focus on dealing with Mei Tuan, and it was impossible to carry out so much work at the same time.
Now that he understands the intentions of the two food delivery platforms, Cao Xingyu naturally does not want to miss this good opportunity for expansion.
"Manager Liu, these are the four stores that I discussed with you yesterday. I have already negotiated them. You can make arrangements later." Cao Xingyu took out a stack of contracts from the drawer, handed them to Liu Ting, and said:
"It's still the old rule. Add the company's assets according to the market price and see if Mr. Xie joins the investment."
"Okay..." Liu Ting opened her mouth in surprise.
Another...another...acquisition so soon?
Even though she had seen it several times, Liu Ting still couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Mr. Cao, this is so awesome!
Li Juan on the side was also stunned. Are they four more shops on Daxing Road Pedestrian Street?
Unknowingly, our company already owns six stores in Daxing Road Pedestrian Street?
The key is this speed,
That’s a bit too exaggerated!
Beyond her imagination!
Li Juan showed a dumbfounded expression on her face.
"If these four stores are added to the company's assets, including Xie Qing's follow-up investment, plus daily turnover, it is estimated that the company's cash will exceed 800 million. It will not be a problem..." Cao Xingyu pursed his lips and calculated in his mind. After a while, he asked:
"I remember that the first batch of preparation stores have already reached the stage of bringing in facilities and equipment, right?"
"Yes." Liu Ting nodded and replied: "It will probably take two or three days before it can be opened."
"Oh, that's okay." Cao Xingyu ordered: "Set aside 330 million yuan to purchase all the first batch of preliminary stores."
The first batch of consulting services raised a total investment of 300 million yuan, and if purchased at a price increased by 10%, it would be 330 million yuan.
The reason why Cao Xingyu considered acquiring at this time was mainly from two aspects.
The first is that the company has so much money on its books. If it is not spent, it would be a waste.
And if you want to expand, these stores that can be put into use immediately after acquisition are naturally a good choice.
Secondly, although the preparation store incident caused quite a stir and attracted the attention and follow-up of many petty bourgeoisie, after all, there has never been a complete acquisition completion case. Many investors actually have no idea. bottom.
What Cao Xingyu wants to do is to reassure those investors and let more people see the strength of Shiwang Group, which will facilitate further financing in this area in the future.
The third thing is to add fuel to the IP of the preparatory store, so that members can see that any activities carried out by the Shiwang brand are serious and not just for fun.
Try to use this to make this IP more famous.
"Uh, now?" Hearing this, Liu Ting murmured with a dull expression:
"We haven't even started business yet, and we are acquiring it so soon. Then why not just invest 300 million ourselves? This way we can save another 30 million..."
Didn't he have no money before... Cao Xingyu curled his lips, but he just thought about it in his heart, and naturally he couldn't tell the real reason.
"The company has its arrangements, just follow them." Cao Xingyu waved his hand.
Thirty million seems to be some extra expenses.
But in Cao Xingyu's view, it's not a loss, and it's within his acceptable range.
First, most of the renovation period for the new store has passed. Those preliminary stores can be opened immediately after acquisition to attract new members, which saves time.
The second is to spend this money to warm up the new store in advance and create an additional preparatory store IP, which will gain greater exposure.
"Okay." At this point, Liu Ting could only nod helplessly.
"In addition, another 400 million yuan will be allocated." Cao Xingyu said in surprise:
"Go to all districts in the city to acquire stores!"
After speaking, Cao Xingyu took out a thick stack of paper from the drawer.
Each sheet of paper has five columns of data.
The first column is the name of the commercial street, the second column is the store name, the third column is the store location, the fourth column is the contact information, and the fifth column is a purchase price guidance range.
There are hundreds of pieces of information like this on each piece of paper, which looks densely packed.
These are a group of stores selected by Cao Xingyu through the system map.
They have one thing in common, that is, they are all small-area stores.
"This..." She reached out and took the paper handed over by Cao Xingyu. After Liu Ting glanced at the first page, she couldn't help but flip through it quickly.
The more she watched, the more shocked Liu Ting felt!
"Mr. Cao has put so much thought into collecting such a complete piece of data... This is too detailed! No wonder Mr. Cao is so busy every day and comes to the company so late. He is always busy. These big things!" Liu Ting was shocked in her heart.
Only Liu Ting, who has experienced the purchase of stores, knows how valuable this information is.
Basic information such as the name of the commercial street, store name, location, etc. are all fine.
It only takes time and manpower to sweep the streets and collect them.
What really shocked Liu Ting was the contact information and guided purchase price! ! !
You must know that some bosses may not be in the store, or many bosses are unwilling to disclose their contact information!
And the purchase price is even more exaggerated!
You have to go to each store and get an in-depth understanding of the facilities, equipment, decoration, business conditions, etc., and then make a comprehensive calculation to estimate a rough price.
If this information is accurate, it is no exaggeration to say that with this data, acquiring a store will become a very simple matter!
And this stack of paper...
There must be at least a thousand stores! !
So many shops, involving so many commercial streets in the city...
How did Mr. Cao do it?
Also, is Mr. Cao planning to expand the scope of the Shiwang brand to the entire Sansha City? ? ?
Liu Ting was dumbfounded. Even though she had seen Mr. Cao's extraordinary actions time and time again and already knew Mr. Cao's strength in her heart, she couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
Liu Ting had imagined before that sooner or later our Shiwang brand would enter the entire Sansha City, right?
But she didn't expect that this day would come so quickly!
"This time the main purpose is to acquire small-area stores." Cao Xingyu continued, minding his own business:
"Invest the maximum resources and strive to acquire all the stores I listed as soon as possible."
"All of them?" Liu Ting took a breath of air.
"Yes, what's the problem?" Cao Xingyu asked.
"Uh... no..." Liu Ting secretly clicked her tongue.
Such a thick stack of paper, thousands of stores...
Liu Ting couldn't help but murmured: "Is the money enough..."
"They are all small shops with cheap prices." Cao Xingyu said with a smile: "400 million shouldn't be a big problem. You can first calculate the prices according to the prices I listed above. Don't worry if it's not enough."
"Okay." Liu Ting nodded, and then she gradually came back to her senses. She was so shocked before that she didn't even listen to what Cao Xingyu said about "small shops". She thought these shops were big or small. With.
And if they are all small-sized stores, then the 400 million yuan is indeed quite different.
Because of the previous capital of 300 million, more than 300 stores were acquired, including nearly half of large and medium-sized stores.
"It's just..." Liu Ting said worriedly:
"If we invest all our funds in acquiring stores, the company's cash flow will be quite tight."
"At the end of the month when wages are paid and suppliers are billed, the funds in the account may not be enough!"
"And after acquiring those stores, we will need to carry out a certain degree of renovation and recruit a large number of new employees. We will also need considerable funds to support the follow-up."
"If it's not enough, I will invest more money into the company. You don't have to worry about this." Cao Xingyu waved his hand indifferently:
"Buy the store first, and the renovation can be put on hold."
Obviously, Cao Xingyu's purpose this time is very clear when he spends a lot of money to acquire small-area stores, which is to increase the number of stores in the catering industry!
As long as the quantity goes up, the funds in his hands will naturally become more and more!
"Uh, okay." Liu Ting felt relieved.
"Speaking of this renovation..." Cao Xingyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's see if we can organize a bigger event this time."
"What does Mr. Cao mean?" Liu Ting couldn't help but ask.
"Set a small goal for this acquisition..." Cao Xingyu said calmly:
"Just book a thousand stores!"
"If 400 million is not enough, then keep investing!"
"Gather together a thousand stores and open them at the same time, so that we can open a thousand stores at once! A true opening of a thousand stores covering the entire Sansha City!"
“The store is a bit small, but it’s impressive!”
Wow!
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ting and Li Juan looked at each other.
Mr. Cao’s thoughts are always so incredible...
Thousands of stores are opening together. This is unprecedented in the country and even the world!
And it’s all concentrated in one city!
That scene then...
can not imagine!
"The funds allocated from the company are mainly for the acquisition of small-sized stores. No matter where they are in Sansha City, as long as they are small in size, cheap and in the commercial street I require, then we will buy them all!" Cao Xingyu emphasized. :
"The funds raised from the consulting services are fully invested on a commercial street basis, selecting locations with the purpose of monopolizing a commercial street, and monopolizing the catering on a commercial street as much as possible."
Obviously, Cao Xingyu's strategy is very clear.
Two lines of development.
The first is to use your own money to quickly increase the number of stores under your name and obtain more system subsidies.
Secondly, the second one is to use the money from consulting investors to occupy positions in advance and cover the commercial streets one by one. When the funds are sufficient later, he can acquire the entire street!
No delay!
This is also the most efficient plan he can think of at present and the fastest development plan in the future!
"Okay..." After hearing this, Liu Ting nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, these two things may be the focus of our work in the next period of time." Cao Xingyu thought for a while and said:
"In addition, the software has been upgraded and improved, and the distribution efficiency has been improved. You ask the product division to hurry up."
"We must also step up the renovation work of Dream City Commercial Street and put up the signboard of our entertainment city that never sleeps as soon as possible."
"The same applies to the six stores on Daxing Road. Let's see if we can organize a joint event for the six stores, rationally utilize and give full play to the advantages of Daxing Road Pedestrian Street, and expand the influence of our Shiwang brand."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Liu Ting responded.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, just implement it as soon as possible." Cao Xingyu waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Liu Ting nodded, turned and left quickly.
Upon seeing this, Li Juan also left the office. It could be seen from the dull expression on her face that she had not yet recovered from the shock.
Are you acquiring Daxing Road Pedestrian Street again, and are you going to buy stores across the city?
And there were thousands of them all at once!
This move is really amazing!
Li Juan has far less opportunities to contact Cao Xingyu than Liu Ting, so it can be said that this is the first time she has experienced Cao Xingyu's big plan head-on!
The impact it brought was so great that it subverted imagination!
"After this acquisition, the daily subsidies will be more and more..." Cao Xingyu smiled with satisfaction.
