"I want to cooperate with Boss Yuan with an annual salary of 50 million RMB after tax and my company will pay for all the housing and travel expenses." Wu Yungui brought out the price confidently.
"Cash?" Yuan Zhou asked subconsciously.
"Hah?" Wu Yungui was a little puzzled. He felt he didn't hear clearly what Yuan Zhou said just now.
"Never mind." Yuan Zhou reacted immediately. He shook his head and said with a more serious expression.
"Oh, here's the thing. If Boss Yuan isn't satisfied, our company has prepared another cooperation method," Wu Yungui said.
"Another one?" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled this time.
It should be known what kind of concept was 50 million RMB after tax. Even many CEOs of the world's top 500 companies couldn't reach this salary.
As the CEO of Apple Inc., which ranked second in the world's top 500 companies, Cook's annual salary was 12.39 million USD. Of course, this price didn't include the dividends of Cook's stocks.
More than 10 million USD was equivalent to an annual salary of nearly 80 million RMB. Now, the person in front of him offered an annual salary of 50 million USD and it was a cooperative relationship.
Such generous conditions made Yuan Zhou's heart tremble. He thought silently that if it were cash, how long would it take him to count it all?
Although Yuan Zhou was a multi-millionaire, he had never received so much money at one time.
Well … this was a typical case of Yuan Zhou, who had no ambition in his heart and didn't even check his savings, thinking he was a multi-millionaire.
Seeing Yuan Zhou didn't say anything for a long time, Wu Yungui brought out another cooperation method.
"Here's the thing. After the comprehensive food city is built, Boss Yuan, you will be the person in charge of the gourmet department. Your annual salary will be 10 million RMB plus a certain percentage. Of course, your housing and travel expenses will still be covered by our company," Wu Yungui said in detail.
Before Yuan Zhou could recover, Wu Yungui said again, "The annual salary of 10 million RMB is definitely not as much as the fixed salary of 50 million RMB at the beginning. However, when the food city develops, it will definitely be more than the fixed salary. I have this confidence. After all, I intend to build an international comprehensive food city," Wu Yungui said.
What was a sugar-coated bullet? This was it. What was a poor man who only had money? This was it. What was a nouveau riche? This was it.
Such a rich and straightforward manner made Yuan Zhou's heart burn. However, due to his usual training, Yuan Zhou managed to display an Oscar-level acting skill. He just sat there blankly and didn't move, maintaining a solemn expression on his face.
For a moment, the two of them fell silent. Then, they heard the rustling of the bamboo leaves on the second floor.
After a while, Wu Yungui spoke again, "What do you think, Boss Yuan?"
"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your kindness." Yuan Zhou addressed Mr. Wu as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, he had to call such a big boss.
Wu Yungui was overjoyed. He smiled and was about to say "you're welcome" when Yuan Zhou continued, "I'm very touched, but I refuse."
"Cough, cough, cough." Wu Yungui choked on his unspoken thanks.
"I don't know why Boss Yuan doesn't agree. The conditions are negotiable." Wu Yungui calmed down and then said.
Wu Yungui's sincerity and offer such conditions were not exaggerated.
Firstly, when he bid for this unprosperous location, the Bureau of Land and Resources had made a clear rule that Yuanzhou shop could not be moved.
No matter what buildings were built, they could not be moved. Of course, if Yuan Zhou could be persuaded to join them, everything would be done according to Yuan Zhou's wishes.
After all, it was Yuan Zhou who had boosted the GDP of this area all by himself. Even if these officials would never take the initiative to give Yuan Zhou any substantial benefits, they were very clear that Yuan Zhou was the controller of this GDP. In other words, he was the key to the prosperity of this area in the future.
Anyone who could become a leader would not be too stupid, which was why there was such an unwritten rule.
As for Wu Yungui, who had won the bid for this piece of land, he had already sent someone to investigate the situation here before the auction started. Together with his own field survey today, he believed that Yuan Zhou was indeed worth the price. That was why he was so patient and eager to get Yuan Zhou to join them.
Because with Yuan Zhou's participation, not only Chengdu, but other cities would also be able to imitate the establishment of such a food city.
Moreover, he was confident that after sufficient publicity, Yuan Zhou would become a gold-lettered signboard. Even if Yuan Zhou only cooked for three days a month in a certain city, he would still be able to bring a lot of customers.
Therefore, Wu Yungui really hoped that Yuan Zhou would join his food city plan.
"I like my own restaurant," Yuan Zhou said after a moment of silence.
"Why don't you think about it again, Boss Yuan? Actually, you don't have to decide such an important matter immediately. You can think about it. Is one week enough?" Wu Yungui said.
"No need. Thank you, Mr. Wu," Yuan Zhou said firmly.
"Boss Yuan, you really don't want to think about it?" Wu Yungui asked again.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything, but just nodded his head affirmatively. Meanwhile, he sighed inwardly. It seemed that he couldn't count the 50 million yuan.
"By the way, I can go to the bank to withdraw 1 million yuan next time and count it by myself." When Yuan Zhou thought of that, he felt comforted again.
"Sigh. Boss Yuan, I can also imagine that a talented person like you would refuse." Wu Yungui heaved a sigh.
"So will you buy this street and renovate it?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
Without the interference of 50 million yuan, Yuan Zhou immediately thought of the matter that this person had just said that he had rented the right to use the land.
"Don't worry, Boss Yuan. The government didn't sell your store to me," Wu Yungui immediately said straightforwardly.
"Um." Hearing that answer, Yuan Zhou didn't feel relieved. Instead, he knitted his brows slightly.
Even if he didn't rent the land of his store to this person, he had rented other places. If the buildings were demolished, it would definitely affect the customers who came to eat here.
Yuan Zhou was very clear that even if the buildings here were to be demolished and the environment was dirty, the customers would still come to eat here as usual. However, such an environment would affect them too much.
In other words, no matter how careful one was, as long as the Taoxi Road was rebuilt, although it wouldn't affect Yuan Zhou's business, it would definitely affect the customers' dining experience.
"Boss Yuan, you can tell me directly if you have any problem." Wu Yungui was a shrewd person. He knew what Yuan Zhou was worrying about once he saw his expression.
However, Wu Yungui didn't say anything proactively. He wanted to do Yuan Zhou a favor and also wanted to hear Yuan Zhou's solution.
"I don't know if Mr. Wu can do me a favor and not rebuild the stores on both sides of the Taoxi Road," Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked straight at Wu Yungui.
"Of course. For the sake of Mr. Wu Food City, I can still do some simple renovations." Yuan Zhou was quite confident when he said that.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was confident that Wu Yungui would agree. The reason was that Yuan Zhou now owned a cuisine and would become a Master Chef in the future.
Well, in fact, in the long run, it was best not to demolish the entire street. Since Wu Yungui was doing such a big business, it was impossible that he couldn't see that clearly.
If he didn't demolish it, Wu Yungui could choose not to buy the ground of the street. He could use this street as the core and build around it, just like a plaza behind the street. It wouldn't affect him at all.
Thinking of such an old street hidden among the high-rise buildings …
It was a win-win situation. Therefore, Yuan Zhou made such a seemingly unreasonable request.
