As expected, Ye Hong cured Gong Baibao's son. According to the plan, Chunyu Bingbing also obtained the properties of Lamp City at a very low price. The whole process was done without bloodshed. Gong Baibao, a veteran, was helpless in the face of the elaborate and sinister scams of several old gangsters, and he willingly handed over everything. He didn't forget to shout a few more words for Ye Hong when he was deceived. Throughout his life, he had been cheating and cheating to accumulate this family fortune, but in the end he only lost a fortune and died in peace.
This ending is actually not bad. If Ye Hongyou had followed his original thoughts, after a cheating game, not only would he lose his fortune and owe a lot of debt, but he might also be burned clean by evil fire.
After all, Ye Hongyou, a Jianghu person, is still much more pure than Li Muye. Although Li Muye has experienced the martial arts world personally, his understanding of the pure martial arts circles such as Lao Ye and Li Qizhi is still too superficial.
The restaurant chain has never had a name, and it's not good for Li Muye to act arbitrarily on this matter. After some discussion with the Zhou family, Lin Zhiyong will be asked to choose a name.
The first time I met Zhou Weiye was at a charity event. Several celebrities were invited to the stage, but Lin Xiangyu, a third-tier young singer, was deliberately arranged to perform as the finale. Of course it is because the son is more valuable than the father. And Lin Zhiyong in the audience also played his part in becoming the central figure in this business meeting.
There are many people running restaurants in the world, but not many are qualified to sit at the same table as the chairman of Sihai Kitchen.
Zhou Weiye actually doesn't have much interest in cooperating with Li Muye. The reason why he values it depends entirely on Lin Zhiyong's attitude. The big business he was really interested in was the purchase order from the General Logistics Department. Millions of troops in the armed forces, wasteful replacement of kitchen utensils, dried vegetables and canned vegetables necessary in special difficult environments, complete sets of quick and nutritious field meals, and other projects are all within the business scope of Sihai Kitchen Industry, and dozens of incidents occur every year Billions of purchase orders.
Winning an order from the General Logistics Department not only means an increase in wealth, but also marks Sihai Kitchen's dominant position in the industry. As long as you can become a special supplier of the General Logistics Department, politically, it is almost equivalent to getting a death-free gold medal and a special pass to travel across the country. For Sihai Kitchen, the significance of this matter is not just as simple as billions of orders.
Li Muye's restaurant, no matter how big it is, is only a small business with a few hundred thousand yuan, and it is not in the eyes of the chairman of Sihai Kitchen Industry. But Lin Zhiyong valued it very much and told him that the proportion of the big cake that he wanted to get the order from the General Logistics Department largely depended on the success of the cooperation with this young man. Only then did Zhou Weiye show enough attention to Li Muye.
Lin Xiangyu's singing level has improved significantly. Since the last time he entered the finals in that talent show for real singers, his popularity has soared. Now he has escaped the embarrassing reputation of a 18th-tier young singer. But on this occasion tonight, after several second-tier veteran performances, the finale performance actually lacked some weight. Despite his best efforts, the situation was a bit awkward.
After the star's performance, there is a fundraising session, which tests the star's appeal. After Lao Ye was invited to perform on stage, Li Muye directly donated 1 million through Chunyu Bingbing, which raised the status and style of this charity event to a higher level. Of course, it also helped Master Ye become famous by the way. At this moment, Lin Xiangyu, the finale singer, has finished his performance. If no one cheers, or the cheers are not strong, Lin Zhiyong will inevitably feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, Zhou Weiye would not let such a thing happen, he had already arranged the donation.
As soon as Lin Xiangyu finished singing his song, a female fan screamed loudly and asked to donate 2 million to Mr. Lin's singing. This female fan is not a show-off. She actually donated two million yuan when she said she would donate. The check will be cashed on site and transferred to the charity fund account. It immediately caused an uproar among the audience.
Two million, real money donated, not an individual donation. The effect of one song means that Lin Xiangyu's appeal is comparable to that of some first-line celebrities.
Lin Zhiyong smiled with satisfaction and said to Zhou Weiye: "This girl Wenwen is really a drama queen. As the daughter of your Zhou family, it's okay to cook well, but she is so well-behaved and sensible. It's true that everything good is done by your family." It’s taken.”
Zhou Weiye laughed and said: "No, the main thing is that Xiangyu sings well. It's worth the price and he deserves a higher position and platform." After saying that, he turned to look at Li Muye and said with a smile: "Li Muye Brother, tell me, is this the case?"
Li Muye said calmly: "To say that the level has definitely improved a lot, but the popularity base still needs to be accumulated, and the real level still has a lot of room for improvement. I think he needs to calm down now, go out for a walk, and gain some personal experience. I feel that it is best to have a vigorous love relationship and go to some place where the soul can be purified." Then he cupped his fist at Lin Zhiyong and said: "The relationship between the family depends on a little personal relationship with Xiangyu. Brother Zhiyong, please forgive me for any inappropriateness."
These words did not give Zhou Weiye much face, but the reason was because from the very beginning of their meeting, Zhou Weiye showed that the reason why he was willing to cooperate with Li Muye was purely for Lin Zhiyong's face. Lin Zhiyong takes the lead in everything, and intentionally or unintentionally steps on Li Muye's head.
It is said that intellectuals despise each other. In fact, this is especially true among businessmen in the business world. Not only do they despise each other, they sometimes try to step on each other's side. When they first met, Zhou Weiye's attitude toward Li Muye was cooperation, but face was not given to you. If he is like this, Li Muye will naturally not give him too much face.
Zhou Weiye chuckled and said: "It's better to be young. Brother Li hit the nail on the head and spoke in insider terms. Unlike us middle-aged and old people, whose ears are out of date and our ideas can't keep up. We have been working in a muddle all our lives. Until now, Except for doing a little business, everything else is completely out of touch with the times."
Lin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said: "Brother Weiye is too humble. Anyway, I feel so warm to you." He added: "In today's meeting, brothers are building bridges. Both of them are business elites. What should we do about business matters? , you know better than me. Regarding Brother Li’s strength and background, I have already introduced it to you, Brother Weiye. Next, you two will communicate face to face with the specific details, and I will not be involved." With that, he stood up. Walk towards Lin Xiangyu.
Only Li Muye and Zhou Weiye were left at the table here.
Zhou Weiye asked: "Aren't there still third-party investors? Why didn't they come?"
Li Muye said: "That's Director Bai of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. She has a trust fund company in North America. Through this company, she registered a new catering company in North America. She invested 30 million U.S. dollars and planned a shareholding ratio of 100%. thirty… "
"Only holding 30% of the shares?" Zhou Weiye was a little surprised, not because of the size of the investment of 30 million US dollars, but because he had never thought about this chain restaurant that had not yet revealed its character. The registered capital will reach hundreds of millions of dollars. He looked at Li Muye, this young man was so bold.
"Brother Weiye, don't you think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?" Li Muye said with a smile: "I'm in the international trade business, so I went to Shanghai to do catering just for fun, but I've always been a person who wants to Why don’t we do it? Let’s strive for the best when we do it. The reason why I made the plate bigger from the beginning is actually because I feel that the status of our Chinese cuisine in the international catering industry should not be what it is now.”
Zhou Weiye seemed to be a little interested, nodded, and said: "Brother Makino, please continue."
Li Muye said: "The first step in doing business is to make money, but when you reach a certain level, it can't just be about making money. For example, Brother Weiye hopes to get an order from the general logistics department in order to stabilize his position in the industry and to make Sihai Kitchen a better place. To get better and more convenient development conditions in China, this is a business of strategic significance. If I just wanted to make money, I would not be interested in this industry at all."
Zhou Weiye said: "I heard from Brother Zhiyong that you have a close relationship with the two sons and daughters of Chen's family. It seems that they are really close to each other. Mr. Chen spent the first half of his life doing underground work and the second half of his life doing military diplomacy. Both of his children, especially brother Zhiyong's brother-in-law, are far-sighted and ambitious people. Only such people can have such broad-mindedness and ambitions. It's a pity that although they live in the same city, they are always close to each other. one side."

"Brother Ah Hui is indeed an important reason why I made this decision." Li Muye said: "But it is not the most important factor. I have always been a willful person. When I was in Moscow, I even treated the second sister Chen Miao because of this. I’m so offended, I believe Brother Weiye must have heard about it.”
"Yes." Zhou Weiye said: "I did hear the introduction from Brother Zhiyong. Bureau Chen also sent someone to contact us before, but later they said that there was a small misunderstanding, and then Brother Zhiyong came forward."
Li Muye waved his hand and said: "Let the past go by now. We have now opened a new chapter. The focus today is to talk about cooperation."
Zhou Weiye said: "I have read the plan you asked Zhou Jing to bring back before, and I can accept the equity ratio, but some details need to be revised, and you did not mention registering in North America in the previous plan. And the funding is so large.”
"I have actually clearly stated my obligations to Sihai Kitchen. You only need to provide a small part of the funds and a full set of kitchen equipment, as well as human resources and technical services. I will provide the main funds, and the promotion and operation management will also be provided. Let my team do it." Li Muye said: "I think these requirements should not be difficult for Brother Weiye."
Zhou Weiye nodded and said: "It's true that some things surprised me, but what surprised me even more was the content of today's meeting. Your ambition far exceeded my expectations."
Any circle pays attention to level. After a businessman reaches a certain level, he will not only value financial interests. The improvement of vision and the enhancement of soft power are sometimes more important than the eagerness for quick success and improvement of economic strength. The improvement of vision determines the improvement of level. Soft power covers connections, influence, voice and reputation. These things determine the capacity of a businessman. If your wealth accumulation exceeds this volume, you will only die faster.
This is the reason why Chinese people talk about virtue.
When a businessman begins to focus on soft power, and is even willing to sacrifice part of short-term profits for this purpose, it often means that his status in this circle is improving. Zhou Weiye has always been a member of the businessman club at this level, and Li Muye obviously already has this qualification.
He continued: "This is a bit like talking about heroes over wine. Brother Makino, do you think this is okay? The original shareholding ratio remains unchanged, the conditions for participation are only slightly modified, and the obligations stated in the contract will be fulfilled by Sihai Kitchen." I followed the instructions. On this basis, I decided to invest the same amount of money as Director Bai into this project. The only condition is in terms of operation and management. I hope Sihai Kitchen is not just a spectator and profit sharer. You understand me. Do you mean it?" (End of chapter)
