After walking out of the teachers' building.
The commotion in the distance was still within Ye Chen's visible range.
But in the end, he still did not follow the teachers to join in.
More than half an hour later.
The G-Class, which was stuck in traffic and stopped all the way, arrived at Fonda Plaza.
Fourth floor.
The entrance of 'Jiang Hu Hotpot'.
It was dinner time, although the queue was not as long as that at Haidilao.
But compared to other brands of restaurants, the flow of people is not bad.
Ye Chen stepped in.
It is full of ancient style and filled with the heroic spirit of the martial arts world.
Besides being bright, the interior lighting also reflects a first-class sanitary environment.
As far as the eye can see.
The service attitude of the staff is even comparable to that of Haidilao, which has been famous for many years.
"Mr. Ye!
Liu Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Ye Chen.
He quickly went over with a smile.
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, "Mr. Liu!
Both parties - - shake hands.
Liu Xi said, "Mr. Ye, there are not many empty seats. How about we just find an empty seat?"
"Okay, there it is!
Ye Chen pointed to an empty space not far ahead.
Take a seat.
After a few pleasantries.
Liu Xi took advantage of Ye Chen's offer to place an order for the hotpot meal.
After Liu Xi put down the electronic screen for placing an order.
Ye Chen got straight to the point.
"Mr. Liu, have you made the decision to accept the financing?" "If I hadn't made this decision, I wouldn't have dared to find Mr. Ye!" Liu Xi said with a smile.
"Are you not afraid of risks?" Ye Chen asked jokingly.
"Afraid!" Liu Xi smiled bitterly.
Then he said, "But risks and opportunities coexist. An investment of 500 million is enough to let go and do something big. If we succeed, I can exaggerate and say that in three or two years, we will be able to compete with Haidilao. In other words, in just three or two years, I can realize my long-cherished ambition! So, since Mr. Ye dares to believe in me, I might as well take a gamble. The main reason is that if I miss this opportunity, I don't know if it will come back in the future. Even if it does, I don't know how long I have to wait!"
In fact, Liu Xi had something else to say.
That was what really forced him to make this decision, the flawless cream factor!
He had been watching and even bought a bottle of flawless cream. After confirming that the flawless cream was effective, he realized that it was true.
After foreseeing that the flawless cream will rise to fame and completely monopolize the market.
He no longer had anything to hesitate about.
Because he believed that Ye Chen would not be an unreliable investor! Moreover, with 500 million yuan in funding, even if Jianghu Hotpot's Great Leap Forward ended in failure, he would accept it!
Another thing is that if you can hook up with an investor like Ye Chen, even if Jianghu Hotpot fails, you may still have a chance to make a comeback in the future. After all, in this world, connections are often the key to changing your destiny!
"I believe this choice will be the wisest choice in Mr. Liu's life! After all, I believe there is no one else in the world who dares to pay out 500 million to confront Mr. Liu and take Haidilao as an imaginary enemy, especially the 'Jianghu Hotpot' at this stage!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"This may be a wise choice for me, but for Mr. Ye, it is definitely a crazy choice!" Liu Xi blurted out.
"No, not crazy at all! Since I dare to pay out 500 million, and invest it in a grassroots brand like 'Jiang Hu Hotpot', it means that I absolutely believe in the future of 'Jiang Hu Hotpot', or I absolutely believe that Mr. Liu will not let me down!" Ye Chen put away his smile and said seriously.
"Mr. Ye, you are overpraising me. Whether it is the future of Jianghu Hotpot or whether I, Liu Xi, will disappoint Mr. Ye, it all depends on the facts in the future!"
Shaking his head and laughing, Liu Xi turned and said, "Mr. Ye, you have seen our 'Jiang Hu Hot Pot'. What do you think?"
"It should be simpler. In the catering industry, the dining environment is certainly important, but overly complicated elements are counterproductive! And now the environmental elements here are obviously heavily emphasized, which feels unnecessary. Even if you want to compete with Haidilao - characteristics are the key, but it does not mean that you have to work hard on the environmental characteristics. As long as it can highlight the Jianghu style, it is enough, and there is no need to over-embellish it!"
Ye Chen hit the nail on the head.
Of course, this is also the path that Jianghu Hotpot has taken after several rectifications in its previous life.
Liu Xi was stunned at first.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up and he understood.
"Mr. Ye's words really woke me up. I've always had an inexplicable strange feeling, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. After hearing what Mr. Ye said, I realized that the problem really lies in the excessive rendering of the environment!" Liu Xi said hurriedly.
"Yes, it is said that simplicity is the ultimate truth. These four words are the same no matter where you put them. If you use the environment as your specialty, you can at best become an Internet celebrity restaurant. But if you want to compete with Haidilao, it will be too Internet celebrity-like and is definitely not a good choice!" Ye Chen nodded.
In an instant.
Liu Xi's eyes also changed when he looked at Ye Chen.
He became more and more convinced that Ye Chen had definitely put a lot of effort into the acquisition and investment in Jianghu Hotpot, and it was not a joke.
"Mr. Ye, I will give you a detailed overall plan based on the original project book later!" Liu Xi said.
"Well, sure!" Ye Chen replied.
After that, he became serious again, "Mr. Liu, regarding the investment, it is the same as what we said last time we met. I will not shake your management position in Jianghu Hotpot, but there is one thing, I will arrange for someone to move into Jianghu Hotpot." Of course, the other party is a newcomer in management, and what you have to do is to guide him. My vision for him is to be the second person in Jianghu Hotpot. Is there a problem?
Liu Xi was stunned.
It's not because Ye Chen wants to arrange people to come in, but he has already made preparations for Ye Chen to arrange a team to move in.
But now, we should arrange one person, or a new person?
How much trust does this show in Liu Xide?
"Mr. Ye, just one person?" Liu Xi asked in astonishment.
"Yes, just one person! And you will be responsible for personally training him and making him strong enough to become the second person in Jianghu Hotpot, how about that?" Ye Chen said. The reason why he didn't consider finding a team to move in was that he only put Chen Yihao in.
Putting aside the point of trusting the people he employs, Liu Xi's character in his previous life was almost flawless, so Ye Chen didn't need to worry at all.
Another thing is that even if there is only Chen Yihao, Ye Chen believes that the boy's personal charm and way of dealing with things are enough to form his own team.
Based on this, he obviously has nothing to worry about.
"no problem!"
Facing Ye Chen's solemn expression, Liu Xi said solemnly, "Mr. Ye, don't worry. I, Liu Xi, know my identity, so I won't have any inappropriate thoughts in my mind. I will spare no effort to lead the person you arrange. If he is the right material, judging from the current situation of Jianghu Hotpot, there is definitely room for him to grow into the second person. If he is not the right material, then there is nothing I can do. Moreover, I can't accept people with incompetence becoming the top executives of our brand. I hope Mr. Ye can understand!"
"Don't worry, I understand!" Ye Chen smiled.
"Okay, I will prepare all the financing information, equity distribution project plan, development plan, etc. in the near future. As long as Mr. Ye's funds are in place, we will immediately invest in Mr. Ye's plan!" Liu Xi nodded.
At the end of the conversation, Zai Weixiao said, "Also, Mr. Ye, the person you mentioned, although our cooperation has not officially started yet, Mr. Ye can ask him to come and contact me in advance!"
"Okay, I'll let him contact you later!
"Yes, sure!
