156 Is One Billion a Lot? (1)
No one was a fool!
How could they not understand?!
First, he showed off his Stanford education.
Then, he said that they only wanted graduate students.
What did he mean by only wanting elites?
The meaning behind his words was self-evident!
At the side, Yu Ran also smiled. “I’ve been to Jiayi’s company. The people there are all energetic. Thinking about it, how can a company with a market value of one billion yuan want someone from the bottom?”
“A thousand-mile dam can be destroyed by an ant nest. Perhaps the company’s foundation will be eaten away.”
…
These words made Uncle Zhang’s expression extremely gloomy. If it were any other time, he would have long lost his temper. However, today, he had a favor to ask of them and had to look at the other party’s expression. He could only prepare to deliberately change the topic and look at Chen Yun comfortingly.
Today, it was his fault.
He would definitely make it up to Chen Yun in the future.
However, before he could speak, Chen Yun sneered. “Is a market value of a billion yuan a lot?”
Was a market value of one billion yuan a lot?!
These words fell into everyone’s ears.
It was like an explosion!
Was a market value of one billion yuan a lot?!
It was already a lot!
Yu Ran looked at Chen Yun and immediately found it funny. Did he know what he was talking about?
“Yo, what a big tone. Do you want to learn from others? Set a small goal and earn 100 million yuan first, okay?”
Beside her, Li Jiayi also said disdainfully, “Ranran, don’t say that. It’s not like Brother Chen hasn’t stepped into society yet. When he does, he’ll know. Without money, a man is nothing. The people under me who came from universities under the 211 Project will probably only be able to buy a toilet after working for a year.”
Meanwhile, Uncle Zhang coughed. “Xiao Yun was just joking, just joking.”
Li Jiayi looked at Uncle Zhang’s expression and thought to himself that something was wrong. He wanted to trick Zhang Huaiyao into sleeping with him too. He could not go overboard tonight. Now was the right time. He had a smile on his face. “Uncle Zhang, perhaps my words just now were a little rash. I’m a straightforward person. Please don’t take offense.”
“How about this? I’ll punish myself with a cup. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight and go pay the bill later. Uncle Zhang, don’t snatch it from me,” said Li Jiayi generously. These words made him look much better.
At that moment, he looked at the changes in everyone’s expressions and sneered in his heart. He was familiar with these words and the technique of controlling people’s hearts. He thought that he could achieve 90 points with his actions!
This time, not only did he step on Chen Yun, but he also did not destroy his image. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing that Li Jiayi also wanted to pay the bill, Mother Yu couldn’t help but frown. She felt very embarrassed and asked, “Xiao Li, doesn’t your swimming club also collaborate with this hotel? Why do you still have to pay? Can’t you just greet them?”
Li Jiayi explained, “Auntie, I share the revenue from the swimming club with the hotel in a 3:7 ratio. Therefore, regardless of whether it’s the hotel or me, if we spend here or at the swimming club, we have to pay the bill.”
“Do you have to give 70% to the hotel? That’s too shady,” muttered Mother Yu.
Li Jiayi said, “There’s nothing I can do about that. The hotel provided the venue. Many swimming clubs want to open a pool here. The hotel doesn’t lack partners, so the hotel has to take the bulk of the profits by running this swimming club in the hotel.”
Mother Yu said enviously, “You’re in charge of the renovation, management, and staff. However, the hotel is the one earning money. It’s too profitable for the hotel.”
Li Jiayi had the intention to show off. He continued, “Auntie, don’t underestimate this swimming club. It can generate a net profit of at least five million yuan a year. Even if I give the hotel 70%, I can still get more than a million yuan with these results. This is not a small sum. Moreover, I spent a lot of effort to open a swimming club in this hotel. Otherwise, among so many swimming clubs and managers, the hotel wouldn’t have chosen to cooperate with me.”
Uncle Zhang was more interested in doing business. He asked, “Oh, tell me about it. How did you get the cooperation rights for your swimming club?”
Li Jiayi looked at Chen Yun, who was sitting at the side without saying a word, in disdain. His face revealed a hint of pride as he said, “The boss of the hotel is called Qian Wei. He’s a rather capable boss in Shi’en. Other than this hotel, he has many other real estate projects and has assets of at least three billion yuan. The reason why I could obtain the cooperation rights to the swimming club is through Qian Wei’s driver.”
Uncle Zhang and Yu Qingfeng nodded. “Drivers are often the closest people to the boss. With Boss Qian’s driver around, it won’t be a problem for you to get the cooperation rights for the swimming club. It’s not easy for you to come into contact with Boss Qian’s driver in Shi’en.”
Li Jiayi said proudly, “It’s indeed not easy. I spent a lot of effort to gain the driver’s trust. Moreover, to be honest with you, Uncle, I promised to give him half of the annual profits. That’s why he ran around and helped me settle this matter.”
Hearing this, Yu Qingfeng nodded and praised, “Sharing benefits can last long. It seems that although you’re young, you have a very thorough understanding of the ways of the world.”
“Uncle, you flatter me. I also fell many times to achieve my current achievements,” said Li Jiayi in a boastful manner.
When Mother Yu heard these words, her eyes were filled with admiration. She looked at Chen Yun, who was looking around and not listening to their conversation carefully. She frowned and said, “Little Chen, Huaiyao, you should learn more from Li Jiayi. In the future, when you enter society, even if you don’t become a general manager like Li Jiayi, you can’t be too bad.”
Li Jiayi waved at the waiter waiting for them outside the glass of the private room. The waiter quickly walked over. Li Jiayi said to the waiter, “Give me the bill.”
The waiter pressed the machine in his hand. After a while, the cashier at the front desk entered the private room.
The cashier revealed a friendly smile and said, “General Manager Li, the total amount spent is 3,800 yuan.”
When they heard that it was 3,800 yuan, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were a little speechless. They had not looked at the price when they ordered the dishes previously. There were only a few ordinary dishes and there were no delicacies, but the cost was already so high. It was indeed a big hotel. This was too expensive.
