Views:

After waiting for two days in a row, Albert rang the doorbell outside Dulin Manor with some haggardness. Soon a maid drove a car specially designed for the manor to the front door and helped Albert. Opened the side door. Sitting on the car, feeling the salty sea breeze blowing on my face, the heat in my heart also cooled down a lot. He looked curiously at the maid driving the car. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, with a good figure and appearance, but her dress looked a little old-fashioned.

If she changes her clothes, dresses up carefully and does her hair, she will definitely become a rare beauty. Such a beauty was running around with her face turned upside down in clothes only worn by maids. What was she doing? Albert couldn't help but ask, "I'm taking the liberty to ask a question that I shouldn't have asked, how much salary can you get every month by working here?"

Perhaps because Albert was one of the few guests who could get permission from the owner to enter the manor, the maid answered with a straight number, one hundred yuan, without a smile. This salary cannot be considered low, and certainly cannot be considered high, at least not as high as Albert's salary. The purpose of his question was to evaluate whether he would have a future if he gave up his current job and worked for Dulin wholeheartedly.

He believed that there was. A qualified former golden salesman and a social elite who was about to become a manager would definitely get much more than a maid. He arranged his hair, patted his cheeks twice, and let himself Looks a little more energetic.

The car drove for five or six minutes before stopping in front of the amazing building. He checked his instruments again and walked in.

Du Lin was sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, flipping through a philosophical book called "Starting from the Heart." Albert had heard that this book was written by a mental patient after he was discharged from the hospital. It caused a sensation when it was published, and then quickly subsided. Dulin raised his head and glanced at Albert, then pointed to the sofa next to him. He carefully read the page, folded it, and then closed the book.

"I have done everything you asked me to do." Albert took out a form, unfolded it and placed it in front of Dulin. The form marked the location, size, and location of the sixteen theaters. Popularity and construction price assessments are concise and clear at a glance. Du Lin looked at it carefully and gave him an evaluation, "Good job." This made Albert excited. He took out another document and pressed it on the form.

"This is my analysis of these industries overnight. According to my judgment, the overall cost of these theater chains should not exceed 200,000, and there are several cinemas..." He moved away from the report and pointed out that the data in it was not very good. "These are all in the fourth and fifth districts, where the residents' consumption level is not high and they are not very receptive to watching movies as a form of entertainment."

Dulin nodded. He did not deny this. The cinema here is like Turner's Grand Theater. Most people can afford it, but they would rather not go or waste their pocket money on it. While others are jumping around, wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy some food and clothing? The same goes for the poor here. Even if their higher consumption level allows them to earn more than twice as much salary as the poor elsewhere, they still live in poverty.

Dulin had heard of an advancement rule about Ilian's life. It was actually a very simple matter to upgrade one's social status. Just buy a house in the previous administrative district. Many people live frugally and save every penny they have for unnecessary consumption, just to change their social status. But they don't understand the truth that their way of saving money will never be able to beat CPI, which is destined to make their behavior meaningless.

When he came here, the price of a house on the edge of District 1 near District 2 was about 38,000 yuan, but only half a year later, it had already risen to 41,000 yuan. The terrifying increase has made it impossible to save money. It makes sense.

Du Lin pursed his lips and thought for a while, then asked: "Do you think the market value of East Coast Entertainment is as much as one million?"

Albert immediately shook his head and said: "Definitely not. It doesn't cost much to build a cinema. The only valuable thing is the land under their cinema. They only have one cinema in the first district, three in the second district, and the other cinemas are mainly concentrated in the third district. District, these lands are very valuable, but the current price will not exceed 500,000." Albert felt that his tone seemed a bit loud. He actually regarded 500,000 as a number that was not too big or too small. He didn't know where to start. Somewhere he found the courage to say this. He glanced at Du Lin secretly, it must have been given to him by the boss.

After all, if you can treat two hundred thousand as twenty dollars, then half a million is naturally a small amount of money.

Dulin already understood what Albert said. Now East Coast Entertainment Company's largest net asset is the land. It cannot be said that they overestimated the company by more than one million. There are also some intangible assets and the like, which makes Dulin more interested. Swallow East Coast Entertainment Company, then continue to build several movie theaters in District 1, and at the same time secure some projects in District 8 to expand throughout the empire.

The embryonic form of an entertainment empire has vaguely surfaced. When the time comes, it will be of great benefit to him to establish film companies, broadcasting companies, and media companies. The benefit is not whether these things can be profitable, nor how much profit they can bring him, but that he can quickly expand his influence through these things. Many people living at the bottom of society will not pay attention to why the governor banged the table today, but they will pay attention to a certain detail that he was caught having an affair again. Pan-entertainment is a trend. Although this trend is not obvious yet, isn't it just the best time to deploy

He nodded frequently and recognized Albert's work. "You have worked hard these past two days. I will put your work aside for now. I need you to do one more thing for me." Albert suppressed the excitement in his heart. , nodded vigorously, "Go and keep an eye on East Coast Entertainment. I think there are some problems with their IPO plan. See if you can find these problems. If necessary, you can use a little money to pry open the mouths of insiders. This Once it’s done, I’ll give you what you want!”

Albert almost stood at attention and saluted, with a beating heart, assuring Dulin that he could complete the human task.

After leaving Dulin Manor, Albert immediately found his mentor in the industry. Although the other person never admitted it, he thought that he just gave Albert a few words and was still far away from his mentor.

The two found a seafood barbecue restaurant. Ilian was right on the beach. The cheapest food was seafood, but beef was much more expensive than seafood. The two asked for an oven to place on the beach, a little away from the crowd. Albert's "mentor" was called Ivan, a middle-aged and bald man in his fifties with gray hair.

He was very thin, but he looked energetic and his eyes were particularly bright. While playing with the fresh seafood that was still struggling in the dining car, he looked up at Albert, "Tell me, have you encountered any problems and need my help? I don't believe that you guy would waste time eating barbecue. In fact, wouldn’t you be able to sell more products during this time?”

Albert works for a company that specializes in sales. There are more than two hundred salesmen in the company, and their task is to sell their employer's products as much as possible. The value of this kind of company is to allow some companies to reduce unnecessary expenses. If these companies hire one or two hundred salesmen, it will be a huge expense. Some small businesses even have less than two hundred workers in total. .

In this case, professional marketing companies emerged as the times require. They only need to sign an agreement, and then pay a fee ranging from a few hundred to several thousand yuan as stipulated in the agreement, and these companies will promote their products for them. , ten to fifteen percent of product revenue goes to the marketing company. The company received a commission from a large number of orders. The company promoted its own products and also sold its own products, and everyone was happy.

Gold medal salesmen like Albert have solid customer channels and know what kind of products their stable customers need. They are the employees that all companies most hope to recruit.

Ivan was certainly not exaggerating when he said this. Several companies had already sent people to poach Albert, but he had not yet agreed because he found another opportunity, which was Dulin.

Albert smiled, put the charcoal into the oven and lit it, sparks flying as he fiddled, lighting up his face.

"Ivan, do you know about the 350,000 mansion?" Albert asked a question, and Ivan nodded.

Who doesn’t know about a 350,000 mansion? It took almost a year to sell it, which almost made many people's eyes pop out. That's 350,000 yuan. You can buy more than a dozen houses in one area. Even if you change it to a villa, you can also buy three or four houses. Someone actually bought it, and it became local news for a while. Of course, this is not what Ivan is paying attention to. What he is paying attention to is that lucky bastard salesman. For a manor worth 350,000 yuan, he can get at least seven or eight points of commission. Let alone a small amount of 30,000 yuan. It is simply Get rich overnight!

Albert grinned very happily and pointed to himself, "I connected with the boss who lives inside, and he arranged a task for me. If I do it well, I might work for him. Ivan , you took me on the road and taught me a lot. I am very grateful to you, so I hope to share this opportunity with you. If possible, I will open a professional company to serve this boss, so. I need your help!"

I have followed the book friend’s advice and changed the 2,000 square meters to 20 acres. I’m optimistic about you.
