Chapter 259 A New Starting Point, a New Journey (End of This Volume)
In fact, Wu Tao didn't take the business situation of Hot Pot City seriously.
It doesn't matter whether it opens hot or cold.
So from the beginning to the end of this matter, Wu Tao left it to Song Qiao to toss, and didn't put too much thought into it.
In his plan, Hot Pot City will serve as an upward channel for the female employees of the Malatang chain store, giving those rural girls a proper development space.
Secondly, it is also a medium for him to manipulate Beijiang's personnel relations.
For example, for this opening ceremony, Wu Tao specially invited two guests, one is Liu Quanyou and the other is Yan Fei.
I have dealt with Reporter Yan several times, and this time I asked her to drop by to pay off the debt. After all, with her in the media industry, the reputation of Hot Pot City in Beijiang can spread faster.
As for inviting Liu Quan to come over, that was just playing tricks.
After all, there was already some rift between Liu Quanyou and Ma Guochao in the past.
After this incident, Wu Tao believes that the relationship between the two parties will only get worse.
Coupled with this case of manipulating the prices of shops in the small commodity market, Boss Xu may not have lost money, and may even have made less money.
But the political goal was not achieved, and Liu Quanyou didn't get the slightest benefit.
As a result, the basis for cooperation between the two parties must be getting weaker and weaker.
And if the No. 1 Guest House wants to attract capital to restructure, Liu Quanyou can only hold on to the idea of Aunt Hua in order to be safe.
Otherwise, if there is another mistake, his idea of relying on his qualifications to become the mayor may never come true.
The next day, July 10, there was a torrential rain early in the morning.
At this time, it is most suitable to gather three or two small partners, sit on the balcony, get together, play cards and chat while listening to the rain hitting plantains.
But Wu Tao was not in the mood.
If there is no news from the province, he will not be able to settle down for a day.
Shi Qianxue couldn't see how taciturn he was, so she raised her long legs and muttered in front of him, "Even if the province doesn't give us great support, why can't we do this domestic mobile phone project by ourselves?"
This Taiwanese girl doesn't know anything about China's national conditions. Wu Tao really began to doubt whether it was the right choice to let her be his assistant.
Fortunately, An Rong, who grew up in an official family, explained.
"Cousin Qianxue, in China, once a project is endowed with political significance, it is no different from being on a pirate ship! Now that the policy direction of the province is unclear, it is definitely not wise for us to get off the ship at this time."
"...Otherwise it will offend our official alliance, and it will definitely be difficult to move forward in the future project development."
Shi Qianxue caressed her fair-skinned legs, her eyes were filled with ignorance, and she said harshly, "The secret is so complicated? Should this kind of risk be called a political risk, or a policy risk? It sounds better than a technical risk." Even more terrifying!"
Seeing that Wu Tao did not object, Shi Qianxue picked up a pen and jotted it down in a notebook.
Well, this is really a lively application, and it matches the knowledge points in the textbook.
Wu Tao stood up and exhaled, "I'll go for a walk."
Shi Qianxue and An Rong scrambled to say: "I'm going too!"
Fang Yuan, who had been watching TV and eating melon seeds, couldn't calm down anymore, "You are all gone, what should I do?"
"Forget it, let's go!" Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "Go to the newly renovated beauty salon, my dad is there."
After leaving the community, Pajero walked on the road with heavy rain.
Looking at the deserted streets and listening to the sound of the rain pattering on the roof of the car, Wu Tao suddenly felt that even if the road ahead was a bit more difficult, so what?
Walking by myself is destined to be a sunny road full of hardships!
This kind of waiting and suffering is really worthless.
Those who achieve great things must have a strong mentality, a vision of the overall situation, and be informal.
Not long after, the car arrived at the beauty salon on Hanzhong Road. From the outside door, it has been newly decorated, and it can catch the eyes of passers-by from a distance.
The main entrance is locked, and through the glass door, there are lights inside, shining a sense of magnificence everywhere.
The car went around to the yard, and Wu Binghua and a few workers were sitting at the small gate, staring at the sky.
Seeing Wu Tao bringing some girls, Wu Binghua's workers hurriedly excused themselves to work and gave up their positions.
Wu Binghua also did not expect that his son would come over in such a heavy rain, and he scolded: "You are not staying at home today, what are you doing running around?"
Wu Tao sat down and let out a long breath, "It's too boring at home, come out to take a breath."
"That's right, if I were you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep every night now." Wu Binghua saw a few girls there, and he pinched his cigarette.
After the adjustment all the way just now, Wu Tao's mentality has long been relaxed at the moment.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Dad, are you worried about the business of this beauty salon?"
"Isn't that right? Do you know how much this beauty salon spent on renovation? It's no less than two million inside and out!"
The two million is obviously not a small number for Wu Binghua and his engineering team. With his team of hundreds of people, the salary balance each time is only in the hundreds of thousands.
And my son spent several times his salary in this beauty salon in one breath.
It's no wonder that he was worried and couldn't sleep at night.
Wu Tao waved his hand, "Dad, you don't need to worry about these things. You should think about how to help me build factories and buildings in a few days."
"What project are you going to do?" Wu Binghua's heart skipped a beat again.
"It's nothing, let's sell some mobile phones."
Even though Wu Tao tried to put it lightly, Wu Binghua still stood up, "That's high technology, you don't have any foundation, how dare you do it?"
At this time, Shi Qianxue said very disrespectfully: "Cousin, he needs to invest hundreds of millions in this mobile phone project..."
Wu Binghua staggered so frightened that he almost didn't fall, so he collected himself and said in a hoarse voice: "How much? Hundreds of millions?"
No matter how stupid Shi Qianxue was, she knew she had made a fool of herself this time.
Even Fang Yuan looked at her with a little helplessness of 'you child is really hopeless'.
Wu Binghua was obviously frightened by this number, and he couldn't help saying in a louder voice: "You said that you can spend tens of millions to set up two beauty salons, but now you have to invest a few hundred million in high-tech projects!"
"...I don't understand. Isn't it good to run Yuankang Company well and make a lot of money every year?"
"...Why bother to mess around like this, aren't you afraid that you'll lose all the little money you've earned so hard?"
After saying so much in one breath, Wu Binghua was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and Shi Qianxue was so frightened that he quickly patted him on the back to comfort him.
It's been a long time since I was trained so hard.
Wu Tao didn't talk back to his father, he knew that his father had good intentions.
Poor parents all over the world, when you are not promising, he expects you to be successful; when you are successful, he hopes that you will be safe and blessed.
"Dad, since the establishment of Yuankang Company, the development speed has slowed down. After all, the size of the pure water market in the country is here, and I want to make it bigger. I can only wait for the economic development in the future to produce more consumers with spending power. It's possible."
"...The only solution for now is to use the resources of Yuankang Company to seek new breakthroughs, so as to ensure the company's survival in the increasingly fierce competition in the future!"
"...Yuankang's biggest resource is capital; if you can use this capital to start new projects and let money generate money stably, it can be regarded as indirectly reducing costs for Yuankang and forming a price advantage!"
Wu Binghua said in a slow tone: "What if I get paid?"
Wu Tao said indifferently: "Even if one loses, there is another one. For example, beauty salons, mobile phone projects, and Internet projects I plan to invest in in the future. As long as one of them earns, it will be a huge profit!"
From Wu Binghua's point of view, these concepts were obviously indigestible, so he couldn't find a suitable counterattack point.
On the contrary, Shi Qianxue clapped her hands and said, "Boss, you are so wise!"
It's just that expression and demeanor, just like a trustee who paid for it.
Seeing that no one else believed her, Shi Qianxue couldn't help but anxiously said, "Why are you looking at me like that? This is called venture capital in foreign countries! Once a venture capital project is successful, it will be rewarded dozens or even hundreds of times! Unexpectedly Cousin already has such a vision, cousin, what are you worried about?"
Wu Binghua snorted, but did not speak.
Shi Qianxue was still waiting to persuade, but Wu Tao stopped her and said, "Dad, the truth is, do you want me to rely on Yuankang's company when I am sixteen or seventeen years old, and wait until I die?"
"... There is no change in life. What's the point of seeing old age at a glance?"
These words made Wu Binghua startled. Isn't it because of this idea that he worked so hard to become an engineering team?
Otherwise, why isn't he at home, just sitting back and enjoying the happiness? After all, the money Wu Tao earns is already enough for the whole family to enjoy themselves for a lifetime.
After a long time, Wu Binghua sighed, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, Dad supports you!"
The rain has gradually subsided, and the air is mixed with the fresh smell of soil, which makes people feel refreshed.
The sky is no longer covered by dark clouds. Although there is still no sunshine, it gives people a clear and thorough feeling.
Wu Tao got up and stretched himself, and stood at the small door. That tall figure, in the eyes of the girls behind him, was so stalwart and upright.
Amid everyone's intoxicated gazes, a mobile phone rang suddenly.
It's Wu Tao's cell phone.
This number is a special number for the province. Wu Tao took a deep breath, connected the phone, and said hello calmly.
"Mr. Wu, I'm Secretary Sun."
"Well, Secretary Sun, please tell me."
"Today's Standing Committee has just ended. Secretary Liang asked me to tell you. Our pilot project plan has been successfully passed, and internal reference documents will be issued later."
"okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Tao was suddenly refreshed and radiant.
"The superior passed!"
The three girls jumped up excitedly and hugged excitedly, but they didn't bring Wu Tao with them.
Wu Tao didn't take it seriously, and looked into the distance alone.
The way forward is clear, a new starting point and a new journey are just under our feet!
