Chapter 990 Since It Is a Listed Company, It Will Be Easy to Handle
"It's really nice, Qianxi, have you watched 'Happy Girls', the one held by Mango TV? I think you sing better than many of them." Xie Qiao said seriously.
Xu Lin agreed: "That's right, what are they singing, and they are so popular. If you participate, Qianxi, you will definitely become a big star."
Xiao Qianxi didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "That was only the first session, and the fame hadn't risen yet, so the participants were all amateurs. Now that the show is popular, the level of the contestants must be much better than last year."
Xu Lin scratched his head: "That's right."
Xie Qiao just said it casually. Singing and becoming a star is still too far away for them.
The few people sang until 5:30 in the afternoon. Just when they left the box, Xiao Qianxi's phone suddenly rang.
"Is it Lao Qin calling? Answer it quickly, answer it quickly."
In the ambiguous eyes of Xie Qiao and Xu Lin, Xiao Qianxi answered the phone.
"Hey, I'm with Xie Qiao, Xu Lin and the others. OK, I'll ask them."
Holding the microphone, Xiao Qianxi asked, "He said he hasn't seen you for a long time, and asked if you have time to have a meal together and get together."
Xu Lin immediately said, "This is a chance to have dinner with a billionaire, you can't miss it, you must go."
Xie Qiao hesitated, "Will it disturb you..."
"What's the problem?" Xiao Qianxi took away the hand covering the microphone, "If they have time, we'll come wherever they are."
"Okay, I got it."
Along the way, Xu Lin had already begun to imagine what kind of luxurious place to have a big meal, but he found that Xiao Qianxi drove straight into the alley behind the school.
In a food stall near Peking University and Tsinghua University.
After seeing Qin Hao, Xu Lin complained, "Old Qin, you are too stingy. You are already a billionaire, and you just treat us to a barbecue."
"Where did you hear this? How did you become a billionaire?" Qin Hao laughed.
"Isn't it? I saw many newspapers and portal websites report it." Xu Lin asked doubtfully.
Qin Hao shook his head and said, "One billion US dollars is just the valuation of Yiguo. When and whether it can be realized is still uncertain. Moreover, even if it is one billion US dollars, it is not 10 billion RMB, not to mention that my shares have been diluted."
"Those reports are just for publicity. I cooperated with you, but you really believed it."
Xu Lin's face was full of regret: "Ah, I also said that I would ask you for a photo later, so that I can sell it at a good price in the future."
"Money-grubber!"
Qin Hao and the other two criticized Xu Lin unanimously.
Just after ordering the barbecue, Xie Qiao's phone rang. It was Qin Chuan who called.
"Qin Chuan also wants to come..."
"Okay, it's lively with more people, let him come."
Not long after, the skinny Qin Chuan came with a step that Liu Qing would not recognize.
"Can you walk properly, don't be like a street urchin." Xie Qiao slapped Qin Chuan in annoyance.
Qin Chuan was honest then.
Xu Lin asked curiously: "Qin Chuan, what have you been busy with recently? You haven't shown up for a long time."
"Hehe, you don't know." Qin Chuan straightened his clothes, stood up and said with a smug look on his face: "I need to introduce myself again here. The person standing in front of you now is not some street urchin Qin Chuan. Please call me: Mr. Qin."
"You, Mr. Qin?" Xie Qiao was the first to stand up and spoil the show.
Xiao Qianxi and Xu Lin were also happy.
Qin Chuan didn't care and continued to show off: "Don't look down on people by looking at them through the cracks in the door. Do you know how many stores of 'Dingjian Jianbing' there are now?"
"How many?"
"Eighteen! This doesn't include the stalls in the Peking University Canteen. My buddy is now a person with a monthly income of 100,000. Be polite in the future."
Xu Lin widened his eyes: "How much?"
"A monthly income of 100,000?" Xie Qiao was also a little dumbfounded.
Qin Chuan was very satisfied with the shocked expressions of the two. He put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and looked up at the sky: "Look at your inexperienced looks. Do you believe that by this time next year, I will be a real multi-millionaire?"
"Is it so profitable to make pancakes now?" Xu Lin felt that her outlook on life was greatly impacted.
Qin Chuan was unhappy when she heard her say this: "What pancake stall? We are a chain store now. When we open more stores next year, I will open franchises. Only then can we make money lying down."
Since the SARS epidemic last year, Qin Chuan opened his first pancake shop. With Dalong's craftsmanship and novel flavors, the business in the shop has become more and more prosperous. According to Qin Hao's instructions, Qin Chuan used the recharge card to absorb part of the cash flow, and then opened several branches one after another, and the business was very good.
In a whole year, "Dingjian Pancake" flourished in Beijing, with 18 branches. The monthly income added up, he and Dalong could each share 100,000 yuan. Of course, this money didn't actually reach them at all, because they had to continue to open other branches.
"Hey, after all the fuss, you didn't get any money at all, and you still said you made 100,000 yuan a month." Xu Lin couldn't help complaining when he heard it.
"That's right."
Qin Chuan was unconvinced and said: "The money on the account is also money. When the company has money in the account, it can be divided."
"What do you think, Lao Qin?"
This time Qin Hao didn't pour cold water on him: "Qin Chuan did a good job this time, keep working hard."
Just when Qin Chuan was proud, he heard Qin Hao slowly say: "After all, I also have 30% of the shares of the pancake shop. Don't forget to notify me when the dividends are distributed."
Qin Chuan was like a deflated ball in an instant, causing Xie Qiao and Xu Lin to tease him.
"It makes you so blind."
"That's right, your achievements are still in front of Lao Qin. He has a net worth of tens of billions but keeps a low profile."
Qin Chuan looked at Qin Hao with a blank expression.
"You don't know yet, do you?"
"Know what?"
"E-Gou has just completed its Series A financing, with a valuation of one billion U.S. dollars."
Qin Chuan's eyes widened: "One billion U.S. dollars? I remember, didn't Tesco just go online two years ago? Is it worth so much?"
Xie Qiao snorted: "You don't understand this. What people invest in is not the present, but the future of Tesco, the infinite possibilities of the Chinese Internet."
In an instant, Qin Chuan became honest. Compared with a billion dollars, what did his dozens of pancake restaurants mean?
Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi looked at each other and smiled.
While they were talking, the owner of the barbecue restaurant was already serving the skewers. The group of people were drinking cold beers and eating skewers, as if they were back in time when they were freshmen.
Xu Lin's face was red from drinking and he was tipsy: "Do you still remember the night we just went to college?"
"You have the nerve to say that. The bacteria you brought almost took away all four of us in the dormitory. We had to wear masks in and out of the girls' dormitory for a week." Xie Qiao patted Xu Lin's thigh. Make complaints.
Xiao Qianxi also drank a lot and laughed loudly: "I have never encountered anything so embarrassing in my life."
Xu Lin chuckled: "You can't blame me entirely. Who knew that my dad didn't give me sex? I'm also a victim. Well, I called him back after I was discharged and scolded him severely."
As he said that, Xu Lin suddenly sighed: "The one who has the deepest memory must be Wang Ying. I guess she will never eat fungi again in her life."
"I don't know how the eldest lady is doing in the UK."
Xie Qiao patted Xu Lin on the shoulder: "There must be no fungi in the UK anyway."
"Haha~~~" The two burst out laughing, with tears in their eyes.
"Unknowingly, we are all juniors and will be seniors in the second half of next year. I thought four years of college would be very long, but I didn't expect that it would be much faster than three years of high school."
"Yeah, I really don't want to graduate."
In the end, both Xie Qiao and Xu Lin drank too much. Qin Hao and Qin Chuan first sent them back to the dormitory, and then went home.
As soon as she got home, before she even closed the door, Xiao Qianxi rushed forward and kissed Qin Hao for a while.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Xiao Qianxi's movement paused. In fact, she was not completely drunk. The most obvious improvement in attending the banquet with Qin Hao, besides her English, was her ability to drink. A few bottles of beer could not make her drunk.
"How do you know I'm worried?"
Qin Hao gently hugged Xiao Qianxi's soft waist: "After all, we have been together for so many years. If I can't feel this, it's not in vain."
"Hmph, you have a conscience." Xiao Qianxi snorted lightly and rubbed her smooth cheek against Qin Hao's chest.
"Have you contacted Wang Ying?"
Okay, here comes another proposition, right?
"We've chatted several times on MSN, what's the matter?"
Xiao Qianxi took the initiative to put her arms around Qin Hao's neck and said softly: "I must have made a lot of jokes at your client's place. Sometimes I was thinking that Wang Ying would definitely perform better than me on such occasions. "
"Why are you so sentimental today, just because Xu Lin mentioned Wang Ying?" Qin Hao asked doubtfully.
Xiao Qianxi shook her head: "When I invited Xie Qiao and Xu Lin to dinner at noon, I met Yang Cheng."
"Oh, what did he tell you?" Qin Hao frowned.
"He said, let me keep a good eye on you so that you don't go out and cause harm to others." Xiao Qianxi's slender fingers kept drawing circles on Qin Hao's chest, as if pointing.
"So, who did you harm outside?"
Qin Hao secretly scolded Yang Cheng: You boy, just wait for me!
"Don't listen to his nonsense. I can't possibly provoke those vulgar fans around him, right?"
Xiao Qianxi snorted: "What about Wang Ying?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Hao's face: "Isn't it true that the eldest lady has gone to England? Where am I going to cause trouble? Don't think too much."
"Um."
Although Xiao Qianxi agreed, there was a trace of worry in her eyes. She was not a fool. Judging from Qin Hao's behavior, he must have a good impression of Wang Ying.
Although Wang Ying went to the UK, she would come back one day. Asking herself, if the competition is fair, Xiao Qianxi feels that she does not have any advantage.
She has never been a very confident person, and Wang Ying is too perfect.
At this moment, Xiao Qianxi felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
…
Another day, Qin Hao did not go to school with Xiao Qianxi, but came directly to the company. Originally, he rarely went to school. After Tesco's A-round financing caused a sensation, he no longer had to worry about someone getting stuck. of attendance.
Anyway, he got A+ in every final exam, so the teachers in Beiqing just turned a blind eye and pretended not to notice.
"Eileen, sort out the information on the Yang Group. The sooner the better, thank you."
"OK."
Liu Qiangdong was a little curious: "The Yang Group's business seems to be incompatible with ours, right?"
"Maybe we can socialize in the future."
Qin Hao said meaningfully that when Tesco just went online, the Yang Group gave him a stumbling block. The reason why it has not touched it is that on the one hand, it is not strong enough, and on the other hand, Qin Hao is busy with the development of Tesco and has no plans to do so. Take care of your time.
As a result, he hadn't caused any trouble to the Yang Group, but Yang Cheng caused trouble for him instead. Don't blame Qin Hao for being rude.
Liu Qiangdong didn't take it seriously. He came here to ask for money. After all, Yiguo had just received 150 million US dollars in financing, and JD Logistics happened to continue to expand its scale with funds.
"No, brother Dong, I just raised 150 million, and you asked for 15 million US dollars. You are really brave."
Liu Qiangdong touched his chin awkwardly: "Then 10 million US dollars will do. Otherwise, Yiguo is developing so fast, and our logistics and distribution can't keep up."
"You wish, it's only 5 million US dollars, not a penny more." Qin Hao said unhappily.
"No, Mr. Qin, 5 million dollars is really not enough. According to your request, JD Logistics will open door-to-door delivery services to all first- and second-tier cities in the country starting from March this year. We have recruited more than 1,000 couriers alone. At least give them more."
"Okay, then 8 million dollars, not a penny more."
Qin Hao also knew that setting up logistics now is a money-burning job, and using Yiguo's money to invest in JD Logistics is also a good thing for Qin Hao, which can further increase his control over JD Logistics.
The reason for this back and forth is mainly to reduce Liu Qiangdong's defensiveness.
After getting the money, Liu Qiangdong left happily.
Not long after, Secretary Irene came in with a pile of information.
"Boss Qin, the latest information of Yang Group is all in it."
The Yang Group's business covers a wide range, but the two core businesses are real estate and department stores. Yang Real Estate is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although Yang Department Store is not listed, there are more than 20 chain stores across the country, and they are all in the core business districts of first- and second-tier cities.
"This kid really got the script of a winner in life when he was born."
Qin Hao raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Since it is a listed company, it will be easy.
"Eileen, help me book a ticket to Hong Kong."
"But, Boss Qin, your schedule for the next two days..."
"Please postpone it for me, or arrange a meeting in Hong Kong."
"Okay, Boss Qin."
In fact, before 2008, real estate companies in the mainland generally had a hard time. On the one hand, the 9/11 incident had a huge impact on the global financial market, which caused a considerable impact on industries like real estate where cash is king.
Secondly, the mainland central bank just issued an interest rate hike notice at the end of October. A large amount of private capital was absorbed into banks, making it difficult for the real estate industry to raise funds.
On the day when the central bank issued the interest rate hike notice, all mainland real estate companies listed on the Hong Kong stock market plummeted.
Yang's Real Estate fell by 8% in one day, and its market value evaporated by nearly HK$1 billion.
