I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 547 A Strong Woman is Still a Woman

Chen Xi silently checked the accounts and found that the equipment he had just seen in the warehouse were not recorded in them.

"Auntie Dou, what companies does our Huade have that produce machine tools now?" Chen Xi did not ask directly.

"That's a lot. Let me look for it for you." Dou Fang turned on the computer and pulled up a spreadsheet with company names densely packed on it.

Chen Xi looked for a while, but didn't seem to find the names on the box.

There are hundreds of branch companies in China that sell all kinds of machine tools alone, and there are branches in almost every larger city.

"Doesn't Huade sell new products such as robotic arms in the country?" Chen Xi asked again.

“Yes, but they are all shipped directly from companies in Germany. Because only large companies can use robotic arms, and they don’t trust domestic brands very much.”

"Oh, what new products does Ward have recently?"

"Hehe, why don't you ask your dad?"

Dou Fang seemed to be unaware of the current situation. The news that Huade and Xinde had separated and had conflicts had been suppressed by Chen Yifeng.

In fact, after those factory managers left their jobs, they did not tell anyone that they went to Xinde. Only the Chen family and some senior executives knew about this.

"I haven't seen him since I came back. I heard that he only comes to the factory once a week now?"

"Almost. Huade's business has actually been very stable, and it doesn't need too many workers. It can be said that it makes steady money every year. Mr. Chen has been focusing on other projects in the past two years. I didn't expect that he is also good at finance."

"hehe."

Chen Xi smiled. He had written down all of Chen Yifeng's strategies, and now he was just copying and plagiarizing them.

But he hasn't finished writing his subsequent plans, and he probably won't know what to do if Chen Yifeng becomes bigger.

"I know you have learned a lot of advanced ideas abroad, and your father is also a top student in Huajing. If you two combine your knowledge, you will definitely be able to elevate the group to a new level. By the way, how is your mother? I haven't contacted her for a while, and I'm afraid your father will know..."

Dou Fang used to have a good relationship with Chen Caiyue, but in order to avoid suspicion, she rarely interacts with her now.

"It's okay. At least my dad didn't ruin me."

"Hey, your dad is really something. Caiyue is actually a pretty good person..."

Dou Fang sighed, it turned out that the two couples used to have dinner together often, and now Chen Yifeng was going to marry a new wife.

It’s so awkward to think about having dinner together after this.

Half an hour later, Chen Xi walked out of the accounting office and met the former security guard in the parking lot. Now he had been promoted to the head of security.

"Young Master, Young Master. I was not in the factory just now. As soon as I heard that you were coming, I hurried here." The young security guard saluted Chen Xi.

"You're doing well. No one is in the factory in broad daylight, and no one cares about you." Chen Xi took the cigarette handed to him.

"Of course, it was all thanks to the young master that the boss gave me a direct promotion." The security guard got Chen Xi angry.

"Well, let me ask you something. There is a batch of equipment covered with waterproof cloth in the factory warehouse. When was it transported here? You must have seen it during your patrols."

"It was shipped in last month. The chairman personally arranged for it to be delivered to the warehouse..." The young security guard told him everything he knew.

"Work hard and don't run around everywhere, or you'll lose your job."

"Yes, yes, Master, take care."

After chatting for a while, the young security guard waved his hand and sent his car out of the company.

"Captain, where did you go just now?" another security guard asked after Chen Xi left.

"Where else can we go? Just walk around. Several factories have moved in nearby. As the company's chief eunuch, I must communicate more with people from other factories and build good relationships with them. What do you know? Be careful when you patrol at night. The young master just asked us to pay more attention..." The security captain patted his colleague on the head.

At night, Jianghuai Building.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu, on acquiring the Seven Nights Hotel chain."

"Your daughter has inherited your excellent genes. She is so beautiful and has excellent business performance..."

"I don't know if your daughter has a boyfriend. My boy is good-looking and honest..."

Inside the box, the bosses who were traveling with them all congratulated them.

Zhao Lingshan and Liu Peiyun were dressed smartly today and greeted everyone with smiles on their faces.

"All of you here are elites in China's hotel industry. Chain hotels have become an indispensable part of the domestic tourism accommodation market. In the future, our group will not only be satisfied with the current achievements, but also hope to explore and expand in a broader field. Therefore, we are planning to integrate domestic hotel resources, through strong alliances, further optimize resource allocation, improve service quality, and jointly promote the healthy development of the entire industry."

At this point, Liu Peiyun's eyes flickered with anticipation. She paused for a moment and continued, "At the same time, we also realize that with the accelerated pace of people's lives, fast food culture is becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, we decided to follow the trend and incorporate chain fast food into our strategic planning. We hope to extend the meticulous service concept and high-quality product standards of the Seven Nights Hotel chain to the fast food field, providing consumers with fast, healthy and delicious dining options. This is not only an extension of our brand value, but also a positive response to changes in market demand..."

"Well said, Mr. Liu is far-sighted. Our current hotels are too expensive and too luxuriously decorated. Also, over time, the facilities are old and difficult to renovate. As time goes by, guests choose chain hotels."

"Yes, many of us were born chefs. Although our business has grown now, we still have to get up early every day to supervise the purchase of ingredients for the restaurant. It is really tiring. If we run a fast food chain, then everything will be delivered by a central kitchen, and we will have much less trouble." The bosses at the table actively responded to Liu Peiyun's call.

They are not stupid. Many of them come from first-tier cities, where the pace is much faster than in Xinlu. High-end hotels have become a thing of the past, and the profits they bring are getting lower and lower. If they want to survive, they must reform.

Seven Nights Hotel is an economy hotel brand that covers hundreds of cities across the country. These bosses don't know what means Liu Peiyun used to acquire it.

But after Liu Peiyun acquired it, he sent invitations to these bosses, trying to create new products based on the model of Seven Nights Hotel.

Because in the country, there are several other groups whose businesses are also hotel chains.

If you want to compete with them, you must reform and innovate. Because there are many types of chain hotels, and a group has many hotel brands, and their products are designed for different customers.

At the dinner table, a square-faced man next to Liu Peiyun kept picking up food and pouring drinks for her, appearing to be extremely intimate.

There was a hint of displeasure in Zhao Lingshan's eyes when she looked at the man.

“Some investment companies nowadays will flock to places where they see money to be made. They don’t care whether they are professionals or not, they just know to invest huge amounts of money. People like us all started out by opening hotels and restaurants. We know how to operate every aspect of the business, and we understand customers better than they do. Those investment companies only know how to recruit students who have just graduated from abroad and majored in hotel management. They think those people are more professional, it’s just…” The square-faced man put down his chopsticks and suddenly began to speak.

"Mr. Huang is right."

"You are the pride of our industry. This cooperation with Mr. Liu is a perfect match."

"Yes, Mr. Huang is the number one in our Chinese boutique hotel chain, Shencheng Catering..."

"I'm not the first person, it's just people praising me. Now I'm just an outdated boss. There are many chain hotel brands in China. It's still difficult to stand out from them. The investment cost in first-tier cities is too high, and there is no need to open stores on a large scale in third- and fourth-tier cities. We should now focus on second-tier cities, especially provincial capitals. In the past, we opened hotels by learning the business model of McDonald's. We expanded by buying land and hoarding houses, but that was too slow. Now business is about quantity and franchising..."

Huang Yuman, a native of Guangdong Province, was once the founder of a Chinese hotel chain. He won the favor of consumers by offering low consumption and high experience.

However, even such an old hotel chain owner, faced with the siege of a large number of new hotel chains supported by several investment companies, became powerless and his business was on the verge of collapse.

So he joined forces with the Dajiangnan Group and used his own resources to help Liu Peiyun acquire Qiye, and wanted to quickly list Qiye in the United States.

Huang Yuman likes Liu Peiyun, and they have common topics in business. So far, their relationship has been going smoothly.

He was also quite satisfied with Liu Peiyun's daughter, Zhao Lingshan. Huang Yuman had a son studying in the United Kingdom, and he wanted to let his son get in touch with her, but after seeing Zhao Lingshan's unfriendly look, he decided to take Liu Peiyun first.

After the meal, Liu Peiyun sent everyone away with a smile. Huang Yuman wanted to stay, but under Liu Peiyun's sharp eyes, he could only leave in disappointment.

"Mom, have you lost your mind? I've been away for a while, so how come you're getting together with that Huang guy?" In the office, Zhao Lingshan's expression changed, and the fake smile she had on at the dinner table just now was gone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I get together with him? Having said that, your Uncle Huang is a nice guy. He even helped us acquire the Seven Nights Hotel. Why do you have such a problem with him?" Liu Peiyun questioned her daughter with her hands on her hips.

"Mom, I used to think you were a capable woman who would never rely on men in business. I didn't expect that I was wrong about you."

"Are you crazy enough? It's true that I am a strong woman. But I am a woman first, and women should play to their unique strengths in the business world. You have been raised in wealth since you were a child, and we have always been behind you in business. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't even be able to run a small store. Shanshan, you have to learn to use your strengths. We are not doing anything shameful with those men. We are just using other people's good impression of you to do things conveniently. In the final analysis, we are just partners."

"You've said so much. Do you really want to be with that Huang guy? I don't think you two are partners." Zhao Lingshan is not a fool. Liu Peiyun said so much just to cover up their relationship.

"So far, there is nothing between him and me, but I can't say for sure in the future. I think your Uncle Huang is a nice man. He said that if you get married, he won't touch a penny of Dajiangnan's money and will leave it all to you. Moreover, he has a son, and he is willing to give you half of his property. This is not at all because of my money. Your father can find another one, so why can't I find a man? Shanshan, you don't need to care too much about your parents' remarriage. Mom will still love you as before. Look, isn't Chen Xi's father going to get married too? As the saying goes, old things don't go, new things don't come..." Liu Peiyun's words kept hitting his daughter's ears.

Zhao Lingshan now just felt dizzy and short of breath, and didn't know what to say.

She had originally hoped that her parents would remarry, but now it seemed like she was just daydreaming.

In a private restaurant room in the center of Xinlu City, Chen Xi was chatting with a group of friends.

"This Qin Feilong is really something. He went to Huajing this time and got a sum of money allocated from above, saying that they are going to vigorously develop Xinlu. No previous leader of Xinlu has had this ability..." At the dinner table, Zheng Xin introduced the current situation of Xinlu to Chen Xi.

Qin Feilong received strong support from above this time, and asked Jianghuai Province to learn from Sichuan Province and Hubei Province's strategy of strengthening the provincial capital, and allocate all the province's resources to Xinlu, because Jiangcheng and Rongcheng developed in this way. Qin Feilong's determination to govern Xinlu now is the same as Yang Xian's governance of Guangling in the Ming Dynasty. In order to fulfill the promise he made when he left, he immediately tried his best to find a solution.

"Xinlu is no longer the Xinlu it once was. Qin Feilong has extended an olive branch to outsiders and offered a lot of generous conditions, which has caused the interests of local bosses to suffer losses. Many people have moved their businesses to other places. Now there are many big bosses coming to Xinlu to develop, and each of them is very powerful. It seems that our family, the richest man in Xinlu, is not good enough." Zheng Xin sighed.

"Are you referring to Hengxiao Group?" Chen Xi asked.

"Hey, how do you know?"

"I met Yang Dan before, and he told me."

"That's right. He is just one of them, and not the strongest one. The strongest ones are all industrial tycoons. They are in the energy business and their business covers the whole world. They want to build Xinlu into a super large 'factory'."

"Then it's almost the same as Gusu City."

"haha, yes."

"Qin Feilong will not allow them to do this. This should be different from the development direction he designed for Xinlu, and it does not conform to the arrangements of the higher-ups. Gusu City has adopted that development model because of its geographical conditions, and only has a GDP to fool people. In fact, it has become a sweatshop for foreign companies..." Chen Xi shook his head. He remembered that Qin Feilong wanted to follow the development route of Shenzhen City, because now there is strong support from the higher-ups, and funding is not a problem. There is no need to learn the Gusu model and pursue superficial work.

He was clear about the energy tycoons that Zheng Xin had just mentioned. Two of them were the richest men in Jianghuai Province in his previous life.
