It was a pleasant meeting full of intellectual exchange.
Wen Liang stood up and said sincerely: "In two years, you will be proud of this wise decision you made today."
Ning Xi didn't let Wen Liang wait any longer this time. She held his hand and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to that day."
Ning Xiaoning suddenly put her hands on theirs and said coldly, "Me too!"
Helpless expressions appeared on Wen Liang and Ning Xi's faces at the same time. Ning Xi complained, "Beautiful Snow Lady, shouldn't you smile a little more at a moment like this? Your expression reminds me of when Mr. Ren handled a case, and unfortunately, I was the one being handled."
Wen Liang's heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "Who is Mr. Ren?"
Ning Xi said casually: "Central Commission for Discipline Inspection..."
Wen Liang couldn't see Ning Xi's expression behind her sunglasses, and didn't even know whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally. He was thinking in his heart whether he should wear sunglasses during the next negotiation. This was simply a magical tool to fool people.
Fortunately, he was calm and composed, his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "Is it Ren Zhongping, who is known as the iron-faced man? If the coach goes to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, the bad guys will be trembling with fear and unable to sleep at night!"
Ning Xi looked at Wen Liang with interest, and seeing that he was not at all disordered, she smiled faintly.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant side by side, and Wen Liang said goodbye and left first. Ning Xi looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Xiao Ning, why did he call you coach?"
The early winter sunshine was mixed with a chill. Ning Xiaoning put her hands in her coat pockets. The wind blew her long hair, her tall figure, and her beautiful face, just like a wintersweet blooming in the wind.
She seemed to have returned to the time when she had just met Wen Liang, with a gentle smile on her face that no one had ever seen before. She talked about basketball games, Qinghe River, autumn outing, and boating. She was not as familiar with Wen Liang as Xu Yao, nor did she have as many experiences as Ji Su and Wen Liang, but she didn't know when this big boy who was sometimes strong and sometimes gentle had become the most important friend in her life.
Ning Xi pulled her hand out of her pocket, gently held it, and said softly, "Xiao Ning, I'm very happy to see that you are no longer the lonely girl who built snowmen by yourself. You have friends and stories!"
Ning Xiaoning sighed slightly, and watched Wen Liang disappear at the end of the road with clear eyes, without saying a word.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Xi broke the silence and said with a smile, "If we stand here any longer, we'll become monkeys in a circus."
At this time, Silver House Street was very busy. Beautiful women and luxury cars would attract attention anywhere. Moreover, for ordinary citizens of Qingzhou, there were not many opportunities to feast their eyes on them at the same time. So, many people gathered around, opposite, in front of shops, and under the trees. Some bold little hooligans pointed and laughed from time to time. Fortunately, the Porsche looked dazzling enough. Even if you didn't recognize the brand, you knew it was a first-class good car, and no blind guy dared to come up and chat with her.
Ning Xi didn't care about these things, but Ning Xiaoning couldn't stand being watched like this, so she pulled Ning Xi to bend over and get into the car. After what happened just now, Ning Xi realized that this young couple might not be in the relationship she thought. But no matter what, this is something to celebrate. Whether it's happiness or pain, it's beneficial to a person's growth, especially for someone as cold as Ning Xiaoning. It's always better to have experience than to be plain as water.
"Aren't you curious about what happened between me and Wen Liang?"
Ning Xi intentionally changed the subject. Ning Xiaoning exclaimed, "Oh, yeah, I forgot to ask. How do you know each other? Did you bully him?"
"Oh, by the grace of the Virgin Mary, it's good enough that he doesn't bully me. His tongue is sharp as a knife, and neither of us can match him. Snow Beauty, you are too biased. If you were the referee of the 1994 World Cup, the Chinese team would definitely win the championship..."
Wen Liang said goodbye to the two girls and went straight to the Bayi store. Li Shengli came up to him and said, "Sister Ding just left. Didn't you run into her?"
Ding Mei came to see Nuan Nuan early in the morning. Wen Liang knew this and said, "I came from the silver shop. We are going in two different directions, so it's hard to run into each other."
"Silver House Street?"
Wen Liang nodded, and seeing that the store was full of people and there was no place to stay, he pulled Li Shengli aside and said, "I just met a rich man. If nothing goes wrong, we can bring in the first investment. In the next two days, you should compile a detailed copy of the production process, combining it with the standardized operating procedures. The text should be simple and clear. I will be responsible for the specific polishing. Uncle Li, do you remember that you told me before that Qinghe Soy Milk is not only your business, but also your dream. In the near future, this dream will soon come true."
Li Shengli was a little excited, rubbing his hands constantly, and hurriedly walked back and forth a few steps, saying, "How much money do you have?" After spending a long time with Wen Liang, his vision and ideas have surpassed many people. Like the small owners of other shops on Bayi Road, they envy Li Shengli's booming business, but no one knows how big the ambition of this young man is in this small shop. Wen Liang once drew a big pie for him, and all Li Shengli could do was to follow Wen Liang's footsteps, make that empty pie, and then swallow it in one gulp.
"We will always have several million, but we have to do it step by step. At the beginning, we may only have 400,000 or 500,000. We will continue to inject capital after seeing the effect. Don't worry, she can't run away after she gets on our ship."
"Several million?" Li Shengli was completely stunned. In this era where the average salary is only 100-200 yuan, several million is not only a huge surprise, but also a huge pressure. "We... we only have this little cost, so who will Qinghe belong to in the future?"
Wen Liang laughed: "Boss Li, I think you can change your address to Mr. Li in a few days. It's good that you can think of this, but as I said, don't worry, I know my limits."
With that girl's intelligence, she wouldn't dream of holding a controlling stake. The purpose of venture capital is for profit, and operating a business is not their interest. Although Ning Xi didn't reveal anything in her words, Wen Liang still vaguely sensed her ambition.
Perhaps, her ultimate goal is to become a member of the international group of people who can destroy a country with a smile, wipe out a nation with a wave of their hand, and dominate the world.
Li Shengli smiled bitterly and said, "You'd better tell me more, otherwise I really can't let it go."
Wen Liang pointed at the cars speeding by on the street and the people rushing to and fro, and said, "Look, Qingzhou has a population of more than 6 million. According to international practice, with one store for every 300,000 people, we can open 20 stores in a two-kilometer area around this store. Nationwide, we can open more than 4,300 stores. The average daily turnover of the Bayi store alone is more than 500,000 a year. This number can rise to 1-2 million in the next two years. What a huge market this is. OK, even if we take various factors into consideration, and cut the number of stores in half and open 2,000 stores, the annual turnover will be as high as billions..."
"In five years, Qinghe will make everyone look up to it, admire it, and be shocked by it!"
Because he had spent too much energy fooling Ning Xi today, Wen Liang had not yet recovered from that state. His passionate speech immediately made Li Shengli's blood boil and he couldn't restrain himself.
It has to be said that Wen Liang basically possesses another ability that a business leader should have—incitement!
There is a lot of water in these words, but even if the price is cut in half, if nothing unexpected happens, it will not be a problem to have a revenue of over 1 billion in five years. If we can occupy the market strongly during this period and thus monopolize this huge blue ocean, it will not be difficult to achieve the above.
"So, investing a few million is not a big deal. We are not that stupid to use such a small amount of money to control the company, and neither are they. Don't worry, I will take care of all this."
From the perspective of economics, Ning Xi really had to spend millions to buy not only two Qinghe stores, but even ten Qinghe stores. But the key point is that the valuable thing about Qinghe is not its appearance, but Wen Liang as a person.
In the 21st century, not only are talents expensive, but bosses are expensive too!
The two discussed the plan of opening the next store. It was still the same old routine. Li Shengli would find a place first, and then Wen Liang would make the final decision. The store manager could be Xiaoyin, Qinghe's earliest employee, because this girl had good character and ability.
As they were talking, Li Siqing, wearing a red down jacket, ran out of the store. From a distance, she looked a bit like Xu Yao, who liked to wear red. She rushed to Wen Liang and stopped. Her eyes and face were full of excitement, but she seemed a little strange and distant. She timidly called out, "Brother Wen!"
After not seeing each other for many days, Li Siqing has become more beautiful. The skinny and pale girl has become a beautiful girl that everyone loves. Wen Liang opened his arms and smiled, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me?"
Li Siqing threw herself into Wen Liang's arms, hugged his waist tightly with her hands, and burst into tears: "I miss you, Nuan Nuan misses you so much. But you are very busy, Nuan Nuan will be good and won't disturb you..."
Wen Liang saw Li Shengli scratching his head and knew that he was the one who used these words to deceive the girl. He didn't say anything to blame her. After all, he was too busy recently and had no time to come over.
After two years of suffering, Li Siqing's heart was stronger than many adults, but he cried because he couldn't see him. Wen Liang felt very guilty, squatted down, wiped the tears from Li Siqing's face, and said, "Brother, I'll come to see you more often in the future... Well, how about this, I'll take you to People's Park for boating next weekend?"
Li Siqing crawled out of Wen Liang's arms, a little embarrassed, nodded vigorously, turned around and ran back. Wen Liang smiled. In half a year, Nuan Nuan had changed a lot.
In fact, it's not just Nuannuan who has changed. Her father, Yuxi, Li Shengli, and even her own life have all changed unconsciously.
Get better!
Li Siqing ran over again with her schoolbag, took out a few test papers and handed them to Wen Liang. She scored 100 points in both Chinese and math. Wen Liang laughed and said, "Great, my family is going to have a top-ranked girl!"
Li Siqing looked up at Wen Liang, his bright big eyes filled with deep attachment.
Brother Wen, for your smile, I will always get 100 points, forever!
(Third update, I have never tried so hard before, I will pat my little face with pride again:)
