"Do business together?" Xia Ruofei froze for a moment.
Zhao Yongjun smiled and said, "Ruofei, don't misunderstand! We are not like Tian Xiaojun, who is interested in your company … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "How can that be? Besides, if Brother Zhao really wants to invest, I can give you some of my company's shares. It's not impossible! "
Zhao Yongjun smiled and said, "No need, no need. We can see the potential of the Taoyuan Company's development. We won't take advantage of it! Otherwise, my dad will break my legs when I go back! "
"Is it that serious? It's normal for brothers to help each other. "Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
In fact, he was definitely unwilling to give up the company's shares. However, if Zhao Yongjun really asked, he could accept a small amount of shares.
But if that was the case, the friendship between them would be somewhat different.
Zhao Yongjun was also aware of this point. At his level, he was no longer so desperate for money. He valued Xia Ruofei more, so naturally, it was impossible for him to ask to invest in the Taoyuan Company.
He said without hesitation, "We definitely won't touch the Taoyuan Company!"
Xia Ruofei laughed, shrugged and said, "Do as you wish! But don't blame me for not being loyal! Oh yeah, you said to do business together. What do you mean? "
Zhao Yongjun smiled and said, "Liang Zi and the others suggested it. Everyone has some spare money in their hands. They want to take it out and do something together. It's just fun!"
"Oh? Do you have any specific ideas? "Xia Ruofei asked.
"Liang Zi and the others want to set up a bar! In fact, it's more convenient for brothers to gather and drink. Making money is secondary. " Zhao Yongjun said, "But I feel that the bar's level is a bit too low. In my opinion, it's best to set up a comprehensive leisure club. Of course, it's mainly to serve the brothers themselves."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yongjun turned his head, looked at Xia Ruofei and said with a smile, "But I still want to ask for your opinion and see if you have any better ideas! Among all of us, you're the best at business! "
Xia Ruofei said with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't know how to do business. Our Taoyuan Company mainly relies on products to win. If someone else can develop such a product, maybe the company will do better."
Xia Ruofei was not being modest. If he was really a business genius, with Xia Ruofei's conditions, the Taoyuan Company might be much better than it was now.
The main reason was that Xia Ruofei's own business strategy was not very aggressive, and his personality was a bit lazy. He was not very enthusiastic about capital expansion.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the company to develop to a point where its valuation exceeded one billion yuan, and there was still no bank loan.
Doing business was all about making money. Basically, as much as possible, they would borrow from the bank and use it to develop the company.
Compared to the dividends brought by the company's expansion, that little bit of bank interest was nothing.
It could be said that there were almost no big companies that could achieve zero debt. Strictly speaking, in the whole of Huaxia, Lao Ganma was probably the only company!
"Oh! You're really not modest! "Zhao Yongjun said with a smile.
"I'm not modest?" Xia Ruofei was stunned.
"I'm saying that you're not modest at all when it comes to the Taoyuan Company's products!" Zhao Yongjun said with a smile.
"It's the truth!" Xia Ruofei said, "I didn't boast about the Yuji ointment, right?"
"That's true! This is worthy of being called a phenomenal product! "Zhao Yongjun had nothing to say about such strong evidence.
Xia Ruofei smiled proudly and said, "Big Brother Zhao, but I still agree with your opinion. If the few of us really want to do something together, the bar will seem too small. It's not a bad idea to make a comprehensive clubhouse. It doesn't matter if it makes money or not, as long as there's a good environment, safe, and well-equipped place to eat, drink, and play. This is quite attractive to me!"
Zhao Yongjun nodded and said, "Yes! Also, for an industry like a leisure club, the focus isn't on profit. Although profit is inevitable, I care more about the added value. "
Xia Ruofei nodded in agreement. He understood what Zhao Yongjun meant by added value.
Zhao Yongjun continued, "Also, I have an idea. Tonight, I ate at sister-in-law's private restaurant. I felt that the taste of the dishes was quite good, especially the two dishes that you recommended. It's much better than the Imperial Palace's dishes in Beijing! So, didn't I suggest that sister-in-law open a branch in Beijing? "
Xia Ruofei nodded and looked at Zhao Yongjun, waiting for him to continue.
Zhao Yongjun continued, "If we brothers work together to open a club, sister-in-law's private restaurant can be a part of the club!"
Xia Ruofei said with some hesitation, "As my future father-in-law, I might not be willing. His restaurant group is also a chain business, and all of them are direct operations. He doesn't have any franchised stores. If he were to open a branch in the capital, he would have to have absolute control over it. If he were to join the club …"
"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "I'm not saying that Ling Ji Private Restaurant will become a department of the club. In fact, many star-rated hotels and private clubs are independent or outsourced. We can also use this method! Ling Ji Private Restaurant will still be independent. It's just that the location of the restaurant will be in our club, and it will only provide services to the members of the club. The finance will be settled by the club. This is also a strong alliance! "
When Xia Ruofei heard this, he was suddenly interested. He said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, your proposal is quite interesting …"
For Ling Xiaotian, his headquarters were in the Southeast Province, mainly in Sanshan City. Currently, his main focus was on expanding in the province. If he could open a branch in Beijing and make a name for himself, it would naturally be very good. However, the biggest problem he faced was that he was unfamiliar with the place and the people.
If he cooperated with Zhao Yongjun's club, it would mean that he didn't have to worry about anything. He just had to focus on running the private restaurant well and constantly improve the quality of the dishes.
Moreover, the profit of this kind of high-end club was generally quite high. The most important thing was that the customers who spent money in the club were basically upper-class people. For the brand plan of the Ling Ji Restaurant Group, it was indeed a good choice.
Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "I was also thinking about this matter on the way here. In fact, in order to deepen the cooperation, we can also use the method of share exchange. Ling Ji Private Restaurant's Beijing branch will hold a part of the club's shares, and our club will also hold a part of the shares of the Beijing branch. Of course, we will only target this branch. We won't involve the Ling Ji Restaurant Group …"
"That's not bad! Anyway, we won't let the goodies flow into our own fields! " Xia Ruofei said with a smile. "As long as you aren't afraid that Qingxue and I will open the club as a husband and wife shop!"
"How can that be!" Zhao Yongjun said with a smile. "We can't wait to cooperate more with a big tycoon like you! So, this matter is settled for now? I'll go back and talk to Liangzi and the others about it. We'll try to start the plan as soon as possible and solve the problem of the location first! "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! I'll also talk to Qingxue. I believe that my future father-in-law will also be very interested. "
The two of them chatted, and before they knew it, the car had already arrived at Taoyuan Farm.
Xia Ruofei pressed down the window and stuck his head out to greet the veteran guard at the gate. Then, the three cars drove into the farm in a single file.
Because it was already late, and Zhao Yongjun and the others had taken a two to three hour flight, Xia Ruofei didn't invite them to visit his house. Instead, he let the car drive directly to the front of the complex building.
Anyway, everyone would be playing in the Southeast Province for a few days, so it wouldn't be too late to visit his house tomorrow.
The reception room in the complex building had already been prepared. It was very clean and tidy, and all kinds of bedding had been changed to new ones according to Xia Ruofei's request. Although it couldn't be compared to a five-star hotel, it was still clean and comfortable.
Xia Ruofei personally sent Zhao Yongjun and the others to their rooms. Everyone gathered in Zhao Yongjun's room and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms to rest. Xia Ruofei also walked back to his small villa.
Back in the bedroom upstairs, Xia Ruofei took out his phone, keys, and wallet, and put them on the bedside table. Then, he prepared to take a shower first.
Before entering the bathroom, he habitually took a look at his phone screen and found that Ling Qingxue and Song Wei had sent him WeChat messages respectively. The two girls had arrived home safely.
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and put his phone aside first. Then, he picked up a set of clean coral fleece home clothes and went into the bathroom. After taking a shower and changing into comfortable home clothes, Xia Ruofei wiped his hair with a bath towel and walked to the bedside to sit down. He picked up his phone with his other hand.
He first replied to Song Wei's WeChat message. It's good that you're home safely. We just arrived. You should rest early!
Then, Xia Ruofei went back to the home page of his phone and opened the dialing software to call Ling Qingxue. Today, Zhao Yongjun's proposal made Xia Ruofei quite interested. He wanted to tell Ling Qingxue as soon as possible and ask her to ask for Ling Xiaotian's opinion.
If Ling Xiaotian agreed, then the specific investment amount and share structure could be discussed.
However, before Xia Ruofei could open Ling Qingxue's number, his phone rang again with a WeChat notification.
It turned out that Song Wei hadn't gone to sleep either. After receiving Xia Ruofei's WeChat message, he immediately replied.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei closed the dialing software and opened WeChat again.
Song Wei's message read: Ruofei, you said that you had something to talk to me about today. Is it convenient for you to talk now?
Xia Ruofei suddenly remembered the Boundary Stone. After writing a few words in the WeChat input box, he thought for a while and deleted them. Then, he directly found Song Wei's number and dialed it.
Song Wei quickly picked up the phone. "Ruofei!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's so late and you're still awake? It's not good for your skin if you stay up late! "
Song Wei smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I was about to go to bed. I was just lying in bed and looking at my phone! You just sent me a WeChat message, so I asked … By the way, what's the matter? "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and asked, "Song Wei, I remember that you were poisoned last time because you entered an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
That experience was naturally unforgettable for Song Wei. She had walked through the gates of hell. The other three members of the archaeological team who were poisoned with her had died one after another because they were more severely poisoned than her. In fact, when Song Wei was treated by Xia Ruofei, the last member of the archaeological team was critically ill.
If she hadn't met Xia Ruofei, Song Wei would have been dead by now.
Song Wei felt a burst of fear in her heart and said, "Yes! It's an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty in Xiangnan Province. "
She was a little surprised that Xia Ruofei would suddenly ask about it, but she still told him the truth.
Xia Ruofei said, "Song Wei, I … I'm a little interested in this ancient tomb. I want to go in and have a look. I heard that …"
"No! Absolutely not! "Song Wei said anxiously," It's too dangerous! Ruofei, that kind of poison is invisible and odorless. It's impossible to guard against it! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "For me, the danger of the poison is nothing. Even if I'm really infected, I have the ability to cure it, right?"
Song Wei was stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought of this.
But she quickly said, "That's not possible! I was only slightly poisoned at that time, and … and you can't guarantee that … if … if you're poisoned, you can definitely cure it, right? This is a matter of life and death. You can't take this risk! "
Xia Ruofei said, "Song Wei, listen to me first … First of all! I have some understanding of this kind of poison. In fact, it's not invisible and odorless in my eyes. It can even be said that it has nowhere to hide! "
Song Wei didn't speak. She knew that Xia Ruofei wasn't bragging. At that time, the poison in her body had been removed by Xia Ruofei. Maybe Xia Ruofei really had a way to find the poison. Otherwise, how could he treat it?
Xia Ruofei paused and then said, "Secondly, the reason why I want to go into the ancient tomb is that there is probably something in it that is very important to me!"
In fact, for ancient tombs like this, the country didn't advocate archaeology.
Under normal circumstances, it was accidentally excavated, or it had been entered by tomb robbers. Only then would the relevant cultural relics department carry out a rescue excavation. Otherwise, in principle, they would be left silent underground.
Even if the tomb was excavated, everything in it naturally belonged to the country according to the law.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei's words were actually somewhat against the relevant regulations.
But his relationship with Song Wei meant that he didn't have to hide it. And according to his and Xia Qing's analysis, even if there was a Boundary Stone in the ancient tomb, it was very likely that it had already existed, and the ancient tomb just happened to be built there.
So from this point of view, even if Xia Ruofei found and took the Boundary Stone, it wasn't considered stealing cultural relics.
