Lu Qingqing poured a cup of coffee for Ye Feng: "Brother Ye, you don't really need to manage it yourself. You just need to eliminate the chaotic factors and sort out the relationships, then you can hand it over to the manager to manage and operate it. As long as the club runs normally, you don't need to show up."
"Haha, what you said makes sense. It seems that you know much more about this basketball club than I do." Ye Feng drank up the coffee in the cup like drinking water. He is a straightforward person and does not like to beat around the bush. He likes to be direct.
He smiled and said, "Qingqing, if you have any opinions, just tell me. I know nothing about management. I don't even know anyone at the Jiangnan Club. Oh, I know someone else, Zhao Dongqiang, who is said to be the center of the basketball team. I'm not familiar with him, just an acquaintance."
Lu Qingqing smiled confidently: "I knew you didn't have time to ask about these things. I have already found out for you what needs to be done and how to do it. I have listed them one by one and I will show them to you now."
He took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Ye Feng. It contained some information typed out by Lu Qingqing.
The first page is a photo of three people, with some arrows indicating their relationships and a simple text introduction.
"Brother Ye, you see, the club's basketball team is led by Coach Wang, who is also a good friend of General Manager Su. But the person who runs the entire club is Manager Chen. Coach Wang and Manager Chen don't get along well. When Su Changxin was around, the two sides were evenly matched and reached a balance. I heard that the club changed its owner and General Manager Su quit, so the two of them started to seize power and fought over dividing the club. The players and management had a fight a few days ago, and it was Coach Wang who instigated Zhao Dongqiang to beat Manager Chen in an attempt to kick him out of the club."
Ye Feng understood something: "How are they going to divide the basketball team?"
Lu Qingqing turned the document to the second page, pointed to the photos of some buildings on it, and introduced them to Ye Feng in detail.
"The club has an indoor basketball court, an indoor badminton court, a medium-sized gym, and a hotel, which is the hotel for golfers."
“Although these buildings are 20 years old, they cover an area of nearly 3,000 square meters and are located in the center of Jiangnan City. The asset value is tens of millions.”
"Coach Wang wanted the basketball court and the hotel for his teammates, so he gave the badminton court and the gym to Manager Chen. Manager Chen also wanted the hotel, and they ended up fighting over it.
Ye Feng glanced at the hotel's outdated decoration with disdain, feeling that it was out of date and still stuck in the style of more than a decade ago.
From the luxurious and magnificent seven-star hotel in Dubai to this small hotel that can't even be called a three-star hotel, Ye Feng clearly felt the gap between the two.
"What's so good about this hotel? It's old and run-down, and the wallpaper is peeling off."
"Brother Ye, you are right. This hotel is relatively old and the oldest among these buildings. It is the first hotel opened by Boss Su. However, this hotel is the largest building in the club, exceeding the total area of the above buildings. So both parties want to fight for this golfer hotel. If another high-end hotel wants to acquire it, it will be valuable."
Ye Feng understood the general idea and said with a smile: "Are you also eyeing this hotel?"
"Brother Ye, you underestimate us. My Highland Fund has nearly 10 billion yuan in overseas investments. This small hotel is just a drop in the bucket. But even a little bit counts. President Wei sent me here to practice."
Suddenly there was a noise in the hotel lobby. A group of people in security uniforms gathered in the lobby. There were about twenty of them, holding batons in their hands, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
A bald, short middle-aged man with a mustache, a plaster on his forehead, and a menacing look on his face.
He was giving a lecture to the security guards: "Brothers, someone wants to come here to cause trouble. This hotel is where everyone works. Everyone comes here to work to make money to support their families. If someone wants to come here to cause trouble and make us lose our jobs, we will not agree."
"No matter what happens, I, Old Chen, will take care of it for you. If you get hurt, I will reimburse all your medical expenses, as well as the lost wages. Not a penny of your salary will be reduced."
"Everyone must protect the hotel as if it were your own home. The interests of the hotel must not be harmed. Everyone, follow me and gather outside the hotel to stop the basketball team from causing trouble."
A thin security guard with a sallow face came up to the bald man and muttered something. Although the cafe was twenty meters away from the hotel lobby, Ye Feng could still hear it clearly.
"Mr. Chen, I have called my brother Huang Liu. He is the tall and thin man standing on the steps at the gate."
Mr. Chen glanced at Huang Liu on the steps in confusion: "He is a traditional Chinese warrior, and he doesn't look as strong as you."
The thin man laughed awkwardly twice: "Boss Chen, don't look at his thinness, he is a disciple of a big sect, he learned the mantis boxing, his hands can kill people with one claw."
"It doesn't matter if he's from a big sect or not, as long as he can beat up Zhao Dongqiang and make him unable to take care of himself, I'll give you 200,000 yuan, not a penny less."
The thin guy smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. "Okay, Mr. Chen, don't worry. If Zhao Dongqiang and the others dare to come, I will make sure they can't play basketball for the rest of their lives."
Mr. Chen nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, after your sixth brother has crippled Zhao Dongqiang, I will not only meet his demands, but also your 10,000 yuan reward will be yours."
The thin security guard was so happy that he almost danced with joy. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will do my best to complete the task."
The thin man quietly ran to Huang Liu again and said obediently, "Sixth brother, I have contacted him for you. Mr. Chen said that as long as you make Zhao Dongqiang unable to take care of himself, he will pay not a penny less than 200,000 yuan."
Huang Liu's face was even yellower than the thin man's. He said coldly, "He has to keep his word. I am much more ruthless than Zhao Dongqiang."
"Two hundred thousand is nothing to Mr. Chen, and he dare not refuse to give it."
"Don't worry, Zhao Dongqiang's legs are in my hands. I will definitely beat him so hard that he can't take care of himself."
The thin security guard asked quietly: "Sixth brother, the 10,000 yuan reward you promised to give me..."
Huang Men rolled his eyes at the thin security guard and said, "I'll give it to you after I receive 200,000 yuan. I can't give you 10,000 yuan first without receiving the money."
The thin security guard and Huang Liu burst into laughter.
Ye Feng shook his head helplessly. This skinny security guard was even more disgusting. He actually found an ancient martial artist to pretend to be a security guard and attacked Zhao Dongqiang. He was the new owner of the Golf Friends Hotel and could not watch such a thing happen.
