Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"...In short, I, as the president, am just a vase at the moment. I can't even control the most important company finances, let alone other things."

Finally, Kim Ji-eun sighed, but her beautiful eyes fell on Li Shuo.

She is certainly not a vase. She is married to Li Shuo not only because they are in love with each other, but also because she values ​​Li Shuo's strength and skills. What she said to him now was also a request for help.

Li Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "According to our previous plan, Shuoguo Group will set up a trading company in South Korea, which will initially specialize in luxury goods business, mainly Patek Philippe watches. We will open supermarkets and counters in the core areas of South Korea. If the plan is realized, how much help will it be to you?"

Jin Zhien thought for a moment and said, "I can't make a judgment before the matter is done, but at least it allows me to control the financial department. Well, at the same time, I can also control the supply channels... Patek Philippe is a popular luxury product. The shortage of goods in Beijing made Schmidt and I rush to Lenghai together. From this, you can understand how critical the supply channels are!"

"It seems I need to speed up. Unfortunately, I didn't work in the luxury goods business before, and I just arrived in South Korea, so I need to recruit a lot of people. Do you have a suitable store manager?"

When it comes to professional matters, you should naturally ask professionals.

Jin Zhien's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Of course there are, and they are store managers of large supermarkets and department stores such as Samsung and SK. We have a list of these store managers and their sales performance. With this data, you can poach them one-on-one, or even poach all the employees of the counter. Of course, the premise is to determine the location of the counter first, and even make preparations before opening..."

"bingo"

Li Shuo snapped his fingers and continued, "A new luxury store has to be opened with a big fanfare. I need some time to confirm the opening ceremony and invite celebrities and even stars... Does Patek Philippe have a spokesperson in South Korea? I can invite him over then..."

Jin Zhien smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Patek Philippe's advertising strategy is the traditional word of mouth. The headquarters does not sign any spokespersons, and also prohibits major regions from signing spokespersons!"

"what?"

Li Shuo was stunned, this was something he had never expected. If other brands dared to do this, they would only be criticized for being low-brow, but as for Patek Philippe, most people would just brag about it, saying "it is worthy of being the queen of watches."

Kim Ji-eun then added: "Since the new century, Patek Philippe's strategy has also changed. Although it still does not sign any global spokespersons, it will cooperate with 'wild spokespersons'... Well, that is, unofficial designations, and each region's own partners, similar to Jay Chou in Greater China, who is Patek Philippe's wild spokesperson..."

"Oh, I see."

Li Shuo suddenly realized that the so-called wild spokespersons were those who felt that they could not keep up with the times but were unwilling to put down their proud heads and let the lower regions make their own decisions.

He thought for a moment and said, "Then, the opening ceremony can be made more grand. I will select a few top stars to be the wild spokespersons for Patek Philippe!"

Kim Ji-eun's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. I can even use it to control the operations and publicity departments. Oppa, then you decide on the spokesperson. If necessary, I will authorize you on behalf of the official!"

This is the benefit of having an official CEO girlfriend. The personnel and sales information in the industry is completely transparent and open, and she can even decide on official business cooperation and spokesperson selection!

It's just that the two of them have a deep affection for each other, and now they are even more inseparable. They didn't realize this at all, and continued to talk to each other, and they quickly finalized many future cooperation and plans...

The next morning, Li Shuo brought Jin Zhien to the office building of Shuoguo Group and introduced Shuoguo's middle and senior management to her. He planned to return home after the Lantern Festival, and the matters here would be handed over to his subordinates to work with Jin Zhien.

After the introduction, the others said goodbye and left, leaving Qian Xiaolu alone. She followed Li Shuo's instructions, took out a map of the South Korean capital, and introduced real estate resources to Li Shuo and Jin Zhien:

"According to the Boss's instructions, Longshan District is our key focus area. The properties here are as follows..."

Jin Zhien interrupted halfway through and asked, "Why are they all residential properties? What about commercial properties? What about street shops?"

“Uh.” Qian Xiaolu looked at Li Shuo, who explained, “Shuoguo Asset’s main business is residential, so this situation occurred. However, I am also paying attention to the shops along the street, Xiaolu…”

Qian Xiaolu quickly shifted the focus and swiped her finger to the right:

"As for street-side shops, most of them are in Jiangnan District, and there are some top-notch stores. This street-side shop is under construction. It is next to the Samsung Department Store. The geographical location determines that there is a lot of traffic..."

Kim Ji-eun's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Li Shuo and said impatiently, "I think this place is great. If we can rent it, we can even make it a landmark Patek Philippe store in South Korea!"

The two discussed many plans last night, the main purpose of which was how to utilize Li Shuo's Patek Philippe franchise. The first thing to do was to open a store, rather than a counter in a supermarket, as that would be larger and more eye-catching. Putting aside the business purpose, this would help to increase the popularity and quality of Patek Philippe, which would naturally be extremely beneficial to Kim Ji-eun's performance.

Before Li Shuo could say anything, Qian Xiaolu immediately poured cold water on him: "But the land price in the capital is expensive to begin with. It has been rising for a whole year since 09. Moreover, the land price in Jiangnan District is even more expensive, and the shops are on the street. With these conditions combined, even if it is leased, it will cost a lot of rent every year!"

Then he turned to look at Li Shuo and said, "Boss, you told us before that if we find a property, we should not rent it but buy it directly. The full purchase cost of this street-side store is at least 500 billion won!"

This is advice that is done with due diligence, and it also gives the boss a chance to show off in front of the beauty.

Sure enough, Li Shuo waved his hand casually and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as the property is good enough and Ji Eun is satisfied, it doesn't matter if I spend some money..."

Such words full of the style of being taken advantage of made Kim Ji-eun's beautiful eyes flash. In the eyes of a woman, this is naked love. What could be more intoxicating than this!

"Oppa, thank you"

Jin Zhien took the initiative to hug him, her eyes paused on Qian Xiaolu, and then she tiptoed without hesitation and gave him a sweet kiss...

Qian Xiaolu secretly curled her lips, feeling helpless about Li Shuo's "work style", but the employees of the entire Shuoguo Group had become accustomed to this style, and even felt that if they were the boss's female companions, they would also like it this way.

So I had to quietly leave the office...

Li Shuo originally wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun with the beautiful CEO in the office, but Qian Xiaolu's departure made Jin Zhien regain her sanity and she whispered in Li Shuo's ear:

"Oppa, although the street-side store in Gangnam District is the best choice without considering the budget, since we are doing business, the most important thing is to consider the budget and cost. The price of this street-side store is indeed too expensive!"

"Don't be afraid, this is not just my problem, as long as you can keep your position as the beautiful CEO!"

Li Shuo said this in a decisive tone, as if saying, "For the sake of beauty, I can disregard everything."

In fact, he knew that this was a sure-win business: this was a street-side store in Jiangnan District, and it would definitely double in value in the future. The only question was how long it would take to double.

"No, no, helping me secure my position is secondary. Oppa, your business empire is the most important. In my heart, the entire Patek Philippe Group cannot compare to the successful South Korean branch that Oppa just built!"

Kim Ji-eun shook her head repeatedly. This is the deeply rooted idea of ​​"marrying a good man" in South Korea. In the future, this idea will be replaced by "independent women", but it is still very stubborn in 11.

Li Shuo laughed and said, "It's a profitable business after all. Follow me and just enjoy it. There's no need to calculate so meticulously..."

"Don't~"

Jin Zhien glanced at him, listed a lot of data about luxury goods, and finally concluded:

“For single luxury goods, the most profitable way is to rent counters in large shopping malls. Only super brands like LV that offer a wide range of products, such as clothing, bags, and jewelry, need to open street-side stores!”

“Compared with LV, although Patek Philippe is the queen of watches, its product categories are too single after all. It is foreseeable that even if the business is good and even improves its overall reputation in South Korea and makes money for the company, it will not make as much as opening a single counter…”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Oh, what are you doing..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Shuo suddenly picked him up!

The latter's eyes were bright and he laughed loudly, "As expected of someone who deals in luxury goods, how could I not have thought of this? Since we have obtained the operating rights of Patek Philippe, we can definitely obtain the agency rights of other brands. We only need the right to ship goods. In this way, can't the street-side store be turned into a comprehensive luxury goods chain store?"

"what?"

Jin Zhien originally wanted to persuade Li Shuo to quit, but she was surprised that he had such an idea. After thinking about it carefully, she found that compared with her proposal, Li Shuo's idea was more magnificent: Isn't it too simple? Then continue to expand, expand...

"Perhaps this is why Oppa can become the chairman of a chaebol!"

Li Shuo hugged her and kissed her repeatedly. She said something coquettish but her heart was full of admiration and pride for her man!

Little did they know that these were all temporary workarounds made by Li Shuo in order to "speculate in real estate"...

Afterwards, the two discussed the luxury goods chain. Kim Ji-eun was very familiar with the luxury goods market in South Korea and gave Lee Suk a package of suggestions. Finally, the two made a series of plans for the specialty stores in Gangnam District according to the situation:

In order to make Patek Philippe famous in South Korea, the initial plan of this store was to provide full-service for this single brand, that is, as Li Shuo originally said, to directly open a "Patek Philippe store". After the store opened, Kim Ji-eun would help introduce some other luxury brands and set up counters in the store. Eventually, within a year, the store would be built into a comprehensive luxury store.

This is the general plan. When we actually start to implement it, we will make adjustments based on the actual situation. In short, we will try our best to take both aspects into consideration...

After the discussion, Kim Ji-eun urged Li Shuo to call Qian Xiaolu, and enthusiastically took her to inspect the store in Gangnam District. Li Shuo had other schedules and stayed in the company.

"Boss"

After a while, Han Enqing knocked on the door and put some documents in front of Li Shuo's desk. Then she came up behind him, rubbed his shoulders and said softly, "The Longshan District Apartment Project has already started. We prepared the relevant materials today and submitted them to Samsung Bank. Li Xiangyu called and said that if everything goes well, the loan can be approved within three days..."

Li Shuo frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled: Logically speaking, since Li Xiangyu had met Jiang Haoyu, why would he be so cooperative? What was the trick?

As he was thinking, Han Enqing smiled and said, "Recently, the development of various subsidiaries in South Korea has been quite smooth. Shuoguo Entertainment has cooperated with SN Entertainment and signed two girls, Xu Yunmei and Qiu Cixian, in South Korea. They have begun to arrange exclusive operations for them, and carry out training and future planning..."

"Shuoguo Asset Management started its first business. Not only did the loan process go smoothly, but we also received several house viewing invitations before our website was even built. The owners seemed to be eager to sell their houses and came to us one after another..."

"There is also Shuoguo Trading and Miss Kim Ji-eun..."

"Wait, what did you just say!"

Before she could finish, Li Shuo raised his hand, his face suddenly serious: "You mean, Shuoguo Assets was just established, and the owner took the initiative to come to sell the house?"

Han Enqing nodded: "Yes, I am also very surprised. The Shuoguo assets in South Korea do not have stores like the one in Lenghai, and we haven't promoted it yet. Even so, the owner can find an office building!"

"It's weird!"

Li Shuo didn't need to think too much, he immediately knew that it was Jiang Haoyu who was playing tricks!

Buying and selling real estate is a big deal for any ordinary person in the world, so he had never thought about building up the reputation of Shuoguo Assets in a short period of time. The future direction is planned in the form of "website" + "APP", and he must accumulate strength for a breakthrough.

At this time, an owner actually came to sell his house? Adding to the fact that Li Xiangyu and Jiang Haoyu knew each other, it was obvious that someone was setting a trap for him!

"What house is it exactly? Did the owner say how to trade it?"

"Most of them are properties in Gangnam District, and there is also a single-family villa. The location is very good, and the surrounding supporting facilities are also very complete. We have made a preliminary estimate and it will cost more than 100 billion won..."

Seeing Li Shuo's serious expression, Han Enqing flipped through the documents and explained in detail, "In addition to the high value of the property, most owners require cash settlement. From this point of view, it is indeed a bit strange. Not to mention that we can't afford it for the time being, even if we transfer the cash flow from the headquarters, we may face the risk of running out of cash. Of course, if we follow the Boss's original plan and can get a loan for each house we buy, there may be no problem!"
