My 26-year-old Female Tenant - v2 Chapter 15
Le Yao and I took a taxi to the “Seaview Coffee” in the city center, and we made an appointment to meet there. I knew this chain coffee shop is a part of Zhang Yixi’s business a long time ago, but it has experienced ups and downs , and was later acquired by An Qi’s Tianyang Group, this kind of ups and downs is just like Zhang Yixi’s life. He used to be a man who was beaten by life and had no temper at all, but after walking in the right direction, he can still talk and laugh. Pointing Jiangshan in between.
After a while, we arrived at our destination, and the first thing we saw was the still brilliant “Zhuomei Shopping Center”. Before, we passed by here countless times and felt different, but this time we were the most disappointed, not only because Mi Cai had gone away. , and because of the fact that it will change its name in a month, I feel sad for Mi Cai, but I can’t stop everyone’s will. Everyone in Zhuo Mei’s grievances knows that behind Zhuo Mei’s name change is a huge business Attempt, maybe in the near future, Fangyuan, a name that is still unfamiliar in the business world, will be remembered by the world at the age of less than 30 years old, and his goal is about to be realized!
Since ancient times, he has been king and loser, who would want to explore the dirty methods behind his fame? And I’m afraid he himself will never find a way out of the taboos of human nature, he will only go darker and darker! The years are the same as before, sometimes black and white are indistinguishable, sometimes grievances and grievances are clear…
Opening the car door, Le Yao and I walked out of the taxi. The strong sunlight made us squint our eyes subconsciously. The pedestrians were also caught off guard by the sudden hot weather, and they all untied their coats and wiped their sweat. The drops are getting slower and slower, making the whole city seem so slow-paced, but the snack bars on the street are still full, which makes the city show some vitality in the heat, and people still need three meals a day to keep themselves healthy. To live, to speak, to think, and to tell right and wrong…
In the coffee shop, Zhang Yixi sat on the fabric sofa and waited alone. Le Yao was very prejudiced against him, and whispered in my ear: “Zhaoyang, do you see how shabby this person is? He doesn’t even have an assistant. , if it weren’t for his wife’s reputation in the industry, I really couldn’t believe how reliable he is!”
Le Yao’s bitterness and deep hatred made me shake my head and smile, and I also understand Zhang Yixi’s temper. At least he is a very clear person in business. If the project he participates in is for profit, then he must make the profit Maximization, even if it is a calculating calculation, if it is an investment for personal preference, he will become very idealized, and then make some unconstrained decisions. He should be the one I have come into contact with that combines idealism and realism. The best person, so after years of precipitation, he looks so relaxed, but the happy ending between him and An Qi always reminds me of Mi Cai, once, our happiness Not less than others, I like the way she looks at me while standing outside the glass window of the coffee shop with a chestnut in her hand. At that time, the afterglow of the setting sun always sets her off perfectly…
We sat down opposite Zhang Yixi, he ignored me, and first smiled and said to Le Yao: “Mr. Le, I didn’t expect you to follow me!”
Le Yao said mercilessly: “I just want to see how you repeat your old tricks with the face of a profiteer…”
The smile was still on Zhang Yixi’s face, and he said: “If you feel that the conditions I offered are not satisfactory, we can talk again, but I am really sincere unilaterally. In the short term, I admit that : I took a small advantage, but take a long-term view, Mr. Le is the biggest beneficiary of this cooperation! There is really no need to question this point…”
Le Yao made a stop gesture and said, “Come on, don’t try to reason with me like this. We will talk about our cooperation in detail another day. The purpose of our meeting today is to talk about the project of the road to literature and art… …Let’s talk about the investment plan that your company has researched first!”
Zhang Yixi’s face became serious, he looked at me and said: “I think our investment plan can be discussed later, I would like to know, if my company injects a sum of money into the project of Literature and Art Road, Mr. Zhao, how do you plan to use the funds to reshape the image of this project? There are many rumors in the outside world, saying that this project is invested by non-performing assets. The continuous spread of this kind of statement is the biggest crisis of this project at present, and this must be resolved, otherwise I personally judge that this project cannot continue!”
In fact, Zhang Yixi’s question is an expression of brand awareness, and it is precisely what I have been thinking about recently. The sudden collapse of the investor behind the Art Road project has given the outside world too much speculation, most of which are extreme. It has done great harm to the brand image of this project! In fact, this project really did not earn as much money as the outside world guessed, but only made a slight profit.
I sorted out my thoughts a bit and said: “I think this crisis can be characterized as a sudden event crisis. First of all, what we need is an opinion leader to show us the truth of the previous operation of the road of literature and art. The situation, as well as the operating data, make everyone believe that every investment accepted by the road of literature and art is clean. After this step, what we need to do is to regain the public’s favor… Mr. Zhang, if If you have enough understanding of this project, you must know that each of our stores is actually doing business. At the same time, each store has its own characteristics. While operating, we pay more attention to spiritual expression. Benefit from it, our road of literature and art has no shortage of loyal supporters! …”
Zhang Yixi nodded and said: “I understand this, you continue to talk…”
“What I mean is this: I plan to select some representative ones among these loyal supporters, and then conduct an exclusive interview with them, and let them talk about themselves and the story of this road. In fact, sometimes the world does not It’s not so dark, it’s just that we ordinary people are always used to staring at what we think is the dark side with unfounded fantasies to make a fuss, then what we see is naturally a dark place, but in fact it doesn’t exist at all… .So, I want to change the previous low-key strategy, and to express and communicate to the public appropriately is not a kind of disappearance of spiritual connotation…The road of literature and art will eventually be an open road, not for less Some literary and artistic youth serve the purpose of its existence to allow more people to accept a healthy life. This kind of health refers to the spiritual level. Its formation is not given by someone, but is produced by each pair of spiritual The life recognized by those who pursue it through time represents a kind of freedom. This is my reorientation for this road. I think the public’s misunderstanding comes from our previous low-key , and lack of communication is the root of misunderstanding!”
“Heroes see the same thing. I agree with your repositioning. The core of this road is not pure service. It should exert the power of change…Service is always aimed at a specific group, and change is It is really for the public…… We spend so much money and human resources to build this project, its ultimate meaning must be change, I am really glad to reach a consensus with you on the core value orientation! “
I nodded, and of course I was also excited about this consensus reached in tacit understanding, and the basis of cooperation is that the two parties have not deviated from the core values, otherwise, no matter how good the project is, it will not go ahead.
Zhang Yixi said again: “I want to hear about the image remodeling project, do you have any better ideas!”
“About this point, I think this way: the reshaping of the project’s image must be carried out around changing the core… If Mr. Zhang is sure that he can invest in this project, I plan to establish a special fund of 2 million. This The money will be used to help those mentally ill patients with psychological depression, let them walk on the road of literature and art without spending a penny, and be accompanied by the most professional psychologists throughout the process, so that they can appreciate the The connotation and feelings shown by the scenery of various parts of the motherland and the distinctive shops… If it is really implemented, we will not only save a patient, but thousands of families.. …as long as we do it with our hearts, this road will definitely become a road that exudes the brilliance of humanity…!”
Having said that, I stopped, and after a long time, I said with a more sincere expression: “Not only the audience, including you Zhang Yixi, me Zhaoyang, and even Le Yao who is sitting next to us, really need this There is no way, most of the time, our spiritual world is empty and poor! Our self-cultivation can’t just be based on those pure words of chicken soup for the soul, but should actually experience, feel, and experience , to recharge my spiritual world…”
This time, Le Yao surprisingly didn’t run me down. She was wringing her fingers and concentrating on something, while Zhang Yixi closed his eyes and nodded again. He seemed to be thinking about what was missing in his spiritual world. What, what have you got… He finally opened his eyes and said to me: “My company will invest 50 million in this project in the first round of investment… “He took out a document from his bag, and after I took it, he said: “This is a specific investment plan. If you think there is no problem, we will pick a suitable time to hold a signing ceremony and media Press conference!”
The first round of investment of 50 million yuan was in line with my psychological expectations, but Le Yao took over and said, “I ask you to invest at least 80 million yuan in the first round, so as to give Zhaoyang more room to operate!”
Zhang Yixi looked at Le Yao in surprise, not knowing why Le Yao made this request of 30 million more, and I was also surprised.
Le Yao went on to say: “Of course I am not talking in empty words. If you can invest more than 80 million in the first round, I can assure you that I will join forces with about 20 people with extremely high experience in various fields on Weibo and other platforms.” Popular celebrities, they are big v with at least 5 million fans, they will repost and publicize your next marketing activities, and your event marketing needs such a publicity method, as for the favors owed in it, I will count it as Le Yao Yes, I believe that the publicity of this scale can create a topical effect equivalent to an investment of 30 million yuan, and you are also the direct beneficiary, so I don’t think you have any reason to refuse!”
Zhang Yixi looked at Le Yao with a look of shock… After a long while, he asked me: “Zhaoyang, is the first round of investment of 50 million yuan really tight?…”
“It’s basically enough, but I can’t really measure whether the 50 million is enough until I re-evaluate the entire project and determine the damage!”
Zhang Yixi’s face was serious, so serious that I felt some sympathy for him. Of course, I know that this man who does things clearly has not relied on the resources of his prospective wife An Qi since his comeback in the business world. He obtained these resources through other channels. Yes, otherwise he wouldn’t haggle over every detail with Le Yao, and 50 million is already the most money he can afford now…
He finally said to me: “You first set up a special team to re-evaluate and determine the damage of the entire project. I can promise the first round of 80 million yuan here, and the investment will definitely be in place, but you have to give me some time, at most half a year.” months…!”
I am grateful to him in my heart, he has really shown enough sincerity for this project, otherwise he would not have made clear his intention to cooperate with me before the project has finished re-evaluation and damage assessment, or, I don’t have to be grateful to him, because We have the same value orientation and ideal in this chaotic world… Although we no longer talk about the word ideal, it still has an irreplaceable position in our hearts, and Idealism can be made into an industry…!
…….
On this day, after meeting Zhang Yixi, I met Zhou Zhaokun again. The meeting with Zhou Zhaokun went smoothly. He had a preliminary investment intention after reading my project proposal, but this huge investment involved He also needs to discuss the interests of the family business with his family members.
As dusk came, Le Yao and I were sitting in a coffee shop to relieve the fatigue of the day. After a short rest, she said to me with emotion: “The generosity shown by Zhang Yixi when he cooperated with you really made me feel better. I was quite surprised, compared to his previous businessman face, he is really a different person!”
I just smiled and didn’t answer…
Le Yao didn’t care either, she turned the coffee cup in her hand, and then looked at the world with the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window. At this moment, I pushed her arm and said, “How about going to have a few drinks tonight?”
She looked at me almost with a shocked expression, and said after a long time: “Don’t hide me like a scourge? … I still feel that Mi Cai is gone, and I need an emotional substitute for my emptiness and loneliness… …If that’s the case, I won’t serve you!”
“You think too much…every man in business will have a huge social circle around him, and there are all kinds of men and women in it. I don’t need to deliberately control myself, and my life pattern is also It shouldn’t be so small, as long as you understand that you don’t have those messy thoughts, you should eat, drink, relax, relax… why do you care who the object is!”
Le Yao stared at me, and finally said: “Zhaoyang, you have really changed…you are not as wild as a few years ago, and you are not as cautious as when you were with Mi Cai, you are now a person who can do To a man who can take it easy… Did Mi Cai’s departure prompt you to make these changes?”
I thought of the last time when I was with Mi Cai again, shook my head in a daze, and replied: “No…it’s because I have a city with some weeds in my heart, and that road Mochou Road, which is always in a certain corner of Nanjing…it reminds me: good or bad, don’t worry…mochou!”
…
At this time, the whole city has not bid farewell to dusk, and the ancient pagodas in the distance are so full of background under the setting sun. I watched intently, but Le Yao suddenly put his mobile phone horizontally in front of me, with a full tone of voice Excitedly said: “Zhaoyang, there is news that Mi Cai has gone to the United States…she is on the headlines of the financial news!”
