Chapter 160 Food City Plan
Seeing Lu Yongqiang being dragged into the next room by Big D, Fat Cat asked, "Gao Lao, what should we do now?"
Gao Lao said unhappily, "What else can we do? Call the prince and Qinlonghu and the others, and ask them to come out and get together so we can discuss it." As he spoke, Gao Lao stood up and left.
Being pulled into the private room by Big D, Lu Yongqiang immediately exerted force with his hands to break free from Big D's grip, then said with a smile: "Big D, you are not looking for me to discuss the food factory again, right? I told you, I will not sell the food factory, no matter how much money you offer!"
As Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Big D said, "Qiangzi, don't be so absolute. This food factory is indeed profitable, but as long as the boss offers a suitable price, why can't we sell it?"
"There's something wrong with what you said. From what you implied, Boss Li is offering a good price now? Then tell me, how much did this big boss offer me this time?" As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang looked at Big D with a smile.
Big D held up three fingers and said, "This is the total. I still agree with what I said before. I don't want a penny. It's all yours. This price shouldn't be low, right?"
As Big D finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang's expression changed. Three hundred million to buy 70% of the shares of the food factory, this price is actually not low. The current food factory is only worth this price.
Seeing that Lu Yongqiang remained silent, Big D continued, "Qiangzi, the food factory is making a good profit right now. But you should also understand that its sales are too dependent on our status in our respective societies.
Qiangzi, you are doing very well now and are at the peak of your career in Hongxing. In the next one or two years, there will definitely be no problem with sales in Hongxing.
But it's different on my side. Liansheng and I hold elections every two years. In another year, we and Liansheng will have to re-elect the leading leader. By then, I will definitely have to step down. After that, I may not be able to control the sales of the food factory through Liansheng and us.
Now that you can cash out 300 million, you haven't lost anything, Qiangzi. With this money, you can definitely find a new way to make a fortune."
It seemed that what Big D said was true, but Lu Yongqiang still had no intention of selling the food factory.
The food factory has been established for almost two years. Up to now, the brand Juhaochi has not only become popular in the entire Hong Kong city, but when it comes to snacks, many people will subconsciously think of the peanuts, duck necks, chicken feet and other products produced by Juhaochi Company.
When the food factory was first established, its sales really relied entirely on nightclubs managed by the society. But now it is different. The routes to supermarkets and convenience stores have long been paved. Now most of the food factory’s sales do not rely on various nightclubs, but on convenience stores and supermarkets.
Even if the nightclubs managed by the society were abandoned, the food factory's sales would indeed be affected, but not as big as imagined.
Lu Yongqiang has always been eyeing the land in Tsuen Wan and has long been prepared to turn against He Liansheng. The food factory is his most important industry, so he naturally started planning early.
The reason why Big D was not aware of these things was that Lu Yongheng had tampered with the accounts, and Big D did not conduct in-depth research, so naturally he did not discover the problem.
When the two parties first started working together, Big D did not trust Lu Yongqiang and asked for a position for his wife in the food factory. At the beginning, although Big D's wife did not go to work in the company every day, she went there every few days.
As time went by, no problems were found. In addition, Sister-in-law D had a lot of things to do, so she basically went to the company to check the accounts every month. As long as there was no problem with the accounts, she could get millions of dollars every month, so she naturally didn't care how the company was operated.
Lu Yongqiang thought about it for a while. He didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either. Instead, he asked, "Brother D, are you sure you don't want to be the leader in the next term?"
As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Big D's face suddenly became a little unnatural. After some seats were taken, few people were willing to give them up.
Seeing Big D's expression, Lu Yongqiang already had the answer in his mind. He said, "Brother D, I see your sincerity of 300 million, but the food factory is what it is today because of the hard work of me and my brothers. I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I need to go back and discuss it with my brothers."
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Big D asked anxiously, "Qiangzi, you need to think about it. That's fine, but there has to be a deadline, right? How long are you going to think about it, three days or a week?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Brother D, you should understand the situation at the food factory. The snack carts under the company's name, while they belong to us, are mostly joint ventures with others. Many of the people running the snack carts are my subordinates. Even if I agree to sell the company, I still have to wait until I've finished these finishing touches, right?"
At this point, Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Brother D, don't accuse me of stalling. I'll give you an answer within half a month."
Lu Yongqiang relaxed, and Big D stopped pestering him, and the two of them quickly left the restaurant.
Back in Tuen Mun, Lu Yongqiang went to the food factory.
In Lu Yongheng's office, Lu Yongqiang told Da D about his meeting with him.
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, Lu Yongheng immediately became anxious. He said, "Brother, you are not really planning to sell the food factory, are you?"
The food factory has always been run by Lu Yongheng, so he naturally has deep feelings for it.
Lu Yongqiang curled his lips and said, "Which ear did you hear me say I wanted to sell the food factory? I came to you today to ask you to start the plan we discussed earlier in advance.
Running a food truck isn't a long-term solution. The city's appetite has been growing, and some idiotic council members are saying we're affecting the city's appearance and need to be cracked down on.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Lu Yongheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Lu Yongqiang would sell the food factory.
Lu Yongheng took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to Lu Yongqiang, and said, "Brother, after we discussed the plan last time, I asked someone to make a budget.
According to your requirements, each food court must have at least 20 different types of shops, depending on the surrounding consumer spending and population. This means the entire food court would be quite large, at least 300 square meters. The initial investment for a food court, including rent and renovations, would range from one to five million yuan.
With our current funds, we can open up to ten food courts at the same time, and ten food courts only require 400 employees. We currently have a total of 12 snack streets, and the employees operating these snack streets are no less than 800. How should we arrange for these extra employees?
While listening to Lu Yongheng speak, Lu Yongqiang roughly flipped through the information Lu Yongheng handed to him. After Lu Yongheng finished speaking, he had basically roughly flipped through the information.
Lu Yongqiang put the information back into the file bag and said, "If you can't arrange all the staff, then open a few more food courts. The snack street in Tuen Mun can be left alone for the time being. As for the funding issue, I'll find a way. You can start looking for a store and do the preliminary work."
The food factory makes hundreds of millions of yuan in profit every month, and the shoe and clothing factory makes even more money. The current profit is around 25 million yuan per month, and miscellaneous income from protection fees, nightclubs, etc. also amounts to several million yuan.
Overall, Lu Yongqiang earns about 40 million every month, but he earns a lot of money and spends a lot. The hundreds of core brothers in the security company are big spenders, spending nearly 10 million every month. The intelligence department of Shouhou is also spending more and more, and it also costs several million every month.
In addition to these, there are also rewards for bodyguards like Li Jie and confidants like Duxie and Dadong, which amount to several million every month.
Strictly speaking, Lu Yongqiang only received about 10 to 20 million yuan per month. In fact, this money did not even go into Lu Yongqiang's pocket. The real estate company that Dong Si was in charge of had been hoarding various stores and properties. The company had no profit at all, but instead needed Lu Yongqiang to invest money every month.
The public account managed by Lu Yongheng never exceeded 50 million. Lu Yongqiang had a plan for the food city a long time ago, but he really didn't have the money. The money in the public account was for emergency use.
However, what Big D said today reminded Lu Yongqiang that there was less than a year left before the general election for Liansheng. If Lin Huaile wanted to win again, he had to get rid of Big D.
Since Lu Yongqiang wants to take over the territory of Tsuen Wan, he must make preparations early.
Lu Yongqiang had planned it out long ago. This time he was not going to passively wait for opportunities, but was going to take the initiative to create opportunities himself.
If Lin Huaile didn't take action against Da D, Lu Yongqiang would have Lin Huaile's driver take action. Since this man was bribed by Skinny Monkey, there was no turning back, and Lu Yongqiang would not give him a chance to turn back.
At that time, we just need to set up a trap and let this person kill Big D. Based on the relationship between this person and Lin Huaile, Lin Huaile will have to take the blame even if he doesn't want to.
When Heliansheng is in chaos, it will be the time for Lu Yongqiang to annex the Tsuen Wan territory. As long as he annexes the Tsuen Wan territory, Lu Yongqiang will be able to jump out of the cage, and the situation will naturally be different at that time.
Realizing that time was running out, Lu Yongqiang did not care about the problem of insufficient funds, but instead carried out the food city plan in advance.
Since Lu Yongqiang had spoken, Lu Yongheng naturally had no objection.
Lu Yongqiang was thinking about how to make some money, but he didn't expect that the opportunity to make money would come to him.
Because of Big D's unexpected sabotage, Gao Lao and Fat Cat returned empty-handed that day. After leaving the hotel, the two immediately called the others and discussed Xia Houwu's matter again.
After making money in last year's boxing match, Xiyan and his friends were ready to make a big splash. They got a lot of bosses involved and contacted a lot of foreign forces. Finally, they created this year's big event, the multi-national boxing championship.
The 2.1 billion US dollars mentioned by Big D is related to this multi-national boxing championship.
