Chapter 186 The price of bullying!
Chapter 186 The price of bullying!
As soon as he entered the negotiation room, he saw Zhou Hanchao's greasy face full of smile. The smile was particularly fake but also very enthusiastic, just like the expression of a student's parent who wants to give a gift to the teacher.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm disturbing you so early in the morning."
Zhou Hanchao's attitude was respectful and his language was very kind. It was completely different from the one he met at Qidian Cafe a few days ago.
In the previous few encounters, whether it was in a coffee shop or at a dinner table, this guy always looked like he was worth 2,850,000 yuan. But now this guy has completely changed his attitude and put himself in a low position, like a person who wants to do things for himself.
Zheng Wan sneered in his heart, thinking that you should have adopted this attitude early. If you didn't target the ban on chili fried pork, I would never target your Han Dynasty Catering Company.
Zheng Wan shook hands with him symbolically, and then sat directly on the sofa in the negotiation room.
Tian Xiaoer had already brought over two cups of tea, but Zhou Hanchao had also lowered his attitude now. As long as Zheng Wan didn't say anything, he kept standing there without daring to sit down.
Seeing his reserved look, Zheng Wan smiled and said: "Sit down, Mr. Zhou, don't act like I'm abusing you. You don't even have a place to sit when you come to my place."
"Don't dare." Zhou Hanchao smiled and then sat down.
"Tell me what's wrong?" Zheng Wan asked straight to the point.
Zhou Hanchao showed a slightly embarrassed smile on his fat face and said, "Mr. Zheng, see if you can do something about the reputation of the stores under Tuanxinshan Hanchao Catering."
Zheng Wan could almost guess the purpose of his coming.
Ever since Tuanxin Kaixin targeted Han Dynasty Catering stores, it is normal for each store's business to decline by 30%.
Don't underestimate this 30%, it is almost a loss of less than 20% of the profit. For so many stores, it is normal to lose millions a month.
Moreover, the catering industry is a bit evil, that is, the better the business, the better it will be, and the worse the business, the worse it will be.
If this trend continues, the stores under Han Dynasty Catering will continue to fall in another two months. Billionaires can't bear it, and four-star hotels can't bear it.
Not to mention four-star, there are also a lot of five-star ones that have closed down.
Being able to lick his face to find Zheng Wan, Zhou Hanchao really pulled his face down.
Zheng Wan did not answer directly, but instead moved on to another topic: "Mr. Zhou, you said earlier that you wanted to buy my chili fried pork shop, do you remember?"
Hearing Zheng Wan mention old things, Zhou Hanchao quickly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, that's because I didn't know about Mr. Zheng's connections before. How can I dare to buy your chili fried pork now?"
Zheng Wan smiled and said: "Don't be too formal, let's just chat casually. To be honest, my Chili Fried Pork business is a little out of control now. As you can see, my Tuanxin Happy Group also has capital injection. Next I may Just focus on running the group and having fun.”
Zhou Hanchao was a little surprised and shocked: "Mr. Zheng, what do you mean?"
Zheng Wandao: "Yes, I want to package up the fried pork with chili and sell it to you."
In fact, any industry has a lifespan limit, including the catering industry.
When the Chili Fried Pork brand was first launched, many people ate it because of its excellent taste. In order to maintain business, Shushu Zhou launches two new products every month, but even so, customers will get tired of them after eating them for a long time.
Especially now that there are many franchise stores opened, business will be relatively more difficult to do.
In the past half month, the sales of three directly-operated chili fried meat restaurants in Dongcheng have dropped by 67% year-on-year.
In addition, what Zheng Wan said is also true. Tuankai is now at a critical moment. Zheng Wan wants to spread Tuanxin throughout the Dragon Kingdom in half a year, so he needs to show absolute concentration and spirit.
Although I don’t really worry about Chili Stir-fried Pork now, it would actually be good to convert it into a cash flow to speed up Tuanxin’s development.
Zhou Hanchao was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what is the price you are planning to sell it for?"
Zheng Wan stretched out a palm.
Of course, this palm cannot represent five million, because at the Qidian Cafe, Zhou Hanchao had already bid 10 million.
"Fifty million?" Zhou Hanchao was frightened by this number.
"Yes, by then you will have full ownership of the Chili Fried Pork brand. Not only can you continue to open franchises in Dongcheng, you can also open stores in Hecheng and throughout Zhongxia Province."
Zheng Wan drew a cake for Zhou Hanchao and continued: "If He Hesheng's store had not been closed, my several direct-operated stores together would have brought me a net profit of about two million yuan every month."
"Coupled with the income from franchise fees, it is not a big problem to make 40 to 50 million yuan a year."
"Mr. Zhou specializes in the catering industry. You should know better than me. Generally, when a store is transferred, the transfer price is usually one year's net profit."
"Hanchao Catering is a mature catering company. I believe that after acquiring Chili Fried Pork, and through your company's professional management, it will definitely be better than mine."
Zhou Hanchao had a bitter smile on his face.
What Zheng Wan said was correct, but not right.
As a person who specializes in the catering industry, he knows more clearly that current profits do not represent future profits. The catering industry changes with seasons and time.
The most important thing is what Zheng Wan said about joining, which is the most unstable. Maybe you can join a dozen stores a month during the booming period, but after the booming period, you can join two stores a month.
So in terms of pure profit, the acquisition price of 20 million yuan is the correct price, and this is when the decline in turnover is not serious.
Previously, Zhou Hanchao proposed a purchase of 10 million, which was a purely bullying price.
But Zheng Wan's current offer of 50 million is even more of a bully among bullies.
Zhou Hanchao replied: "Mr. Zheng, although I have some assets, I really can't come up with 50 million. The total of all my assets is barely over 100 million. If I really want to talk about cash flow, I can now come up with 100 million." Ten million would be pretty good.”
"Oh, really." Zheng Wan took a sip from the cup in front of him and said, "Then you can give me 20 million in one lump sum and give me the remaining 30 million as an IOU, and you can pay it back within a year."
Zhou Hanchao's mouth twitched, this was blatant blackmail.
"Mr. Zheng, I really can't afford that much money." Zhou Hanchao said helplessly.
Zheng Wan's expression gradually turned cold: "Mr. Zhou, I want to reach a cooperative relationship with you, but you want to take advantage of me. It's hard for me to do this."
Zhou Hanchao was trembling a little. Such a billionaire in his forties or fifties lost his temper in front of Zheng Wan.
His original aura and temperament were completely gone in front of Zheng Wan, leaving only a humble and pitiful look like a beggar.
"Thirty million, Mr. Zheng, I should be able to get the thirty million, but even so I have to pay an IOU of ten million." Zhou Hanchao tried to 'cooperate' with Zheng Wan.
At the same time, Zhou Hanchao felt extremely regretful.
Why did he mess with Zheng Wan when he was so good? Why did he feel that an eighteen-year-old boy was easy to bully? It's better now, people are directly riding on you, and the key is that you have no way to fight back.
In terms of connections, I can’t beat Zheng Wan;
In terms of ability, I can't beat him, but his Tuanxin Group has attracted the attention of capital. Once he becomes a listed company, his status will completely change.
Moreover, Zheng Wanna's fate was at stake. Tuan Xingxin could easily cheat and cause Han Dynasty's catering business to plummet.
Therefore, the Zhou and Han Dynasties had to compromise.
There is no way.
