My 1999

Everyone pondered over his words, and after a moment of silence, Zeng Liqing suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Xu, I always heard people say 'listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books', and now I finally understand it.

Your words today completely dispelled our concerns about the competition from MSN;

We are worried about China Mobile's aggressiveness and continuous suppression of China Mobile QQ;

It also pointed out the way for the future development of Penguin.

We are full of energy now."

"Mr. Xu, you should come to Penguin more often; with you, Penguin's development can go further and will definitely surpass Hongmeng in the future."

"Yes, yes. Mr. Xu, you are the chairman of the board of directors of the company, so you should come often in the future."...

Everyone hurriedly said.

Xu Liang smiled and waved his hand.

"I appreciate your kindness, but the management of Penguin will still be handed over to Pony. No one is more suitable to manage Penguin than him. I am just a bystander. If I really get involved, I am afraid I will become confused by the authorities."

Hearing this, Ponyma breathed a sigh of relief.

As Xu Liang's prestige within Penguin grew, if he really wanted to take over Penguin, even with the contract, he might not be able to stop him.

Xu Liang looked at the time.

"It's almost noon, let's end the meeting here and go eat."

Hearing him say that, everyone stood up.

Bonima waved his hand, and the secretary next to him hurried over.

"Call the hotel and ask how the food is going."

"Okay."

The secretary hurried to make a call.

Xu Liang asked, "Boni, doesn't the company have an employee cafeteria?"

"Not yet."

There are less than 1,500 people in Penguin now, more than half of whom are distributed in several major cities across the country and overseas.

There are only 500 to 600 people in the head office.

In order to save costs, there is no cafeteria.

"Let's have one if we have a chance. It will be convenient for employees and the company."

"Okay."

Xu Liang walked out.

He doesn't have too high requirements for food, as long as the dishes are healthy and the taste is not too bad.

So he originally planned to have lunch in Penguin's employee restaurant, but since there was no restaurant, he could only go to the hotel.

The group drove onto Beihuan Avenue, turned off at Beihuan Caitian Interchange, and when they arrived at the intersection of Caitian Road and Lianke Road, a three-story antique building appeared on the right.

This antique building is backed by Lianhuashan Park, and in front of it is a large lake covering several acres.

The breeze was gentle and the waves were rippling.

The green lake reflected the weeping willows and blooming flowers on the shore, which was unique.

Drive past from the side of the fork.

As the distance got closer, the antique building became taller and taller.

The flying eaves and brackets, the high eaves, and the ancient style and charm.

A row of four vermilion pillars that could be hugged by several people supported the heavy eaves.

Above the portal, which was more than six meters wide and more than three meters high, hung a huge plaque inlaid with gold foil, about five or six square meters in size.

There were three characters on it, with dragons and phoenixes dancing.

Hongbin Building.

Looking at this magnificent building with an area of ​​6666 square meters and a double-eaved hip roof, Xu Liang smiled.

"You should give me face. This is my first time here since this place was built."

In recent years, with his support, Sixilou Catering has opened a high-end restaurant in each of the first-tier cities across the country.

In Shanghai, it is Mahler Restaurant, in Guangzhou, it is Dingxiang Restaurant, and in Pengcheng, it is Hongbinlou.

"Hongbinlou has a variety of dishes and excellent taste. Penguin's external reception is basically held here."

Zeng Liqing smiled.

Xu Liang nodded slightly and walked towards the door.

As soon as everyone came in, they were greeted by a giant screen three meters high and nine meters long, with flowers and prosperity carved on it.

On both sides of the screen stood some tall and beautiful girls wearing red floral cheongsams.

Seeing them come in, the nearest girl walked over quickly.

"Hello, gentlemen, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, we have reserved the No. 1 box of the A-shaped box."

Bonima's secretary hurried forward to communicate.

The girl looked surprised, and after quickly sweeping over them with a scrutinizing look, she turned sideways to invite them.

"Everyone, please follow me."

Everyone followed him around the screen, and a hall with hundreds of square meters of space and a circular shape appeared in front of them.

One by one, the uniquely shaped Eight Scenery Palace Lanterns hung from the roof.

The bright lights illuminated the entire lobby, and every detail was clearly visible.

In the center of the lobby were some round chairs and low stools for people to rest, as well as some uniquely shaped bronze sculptures.

And the hall was separated by heavy wood.

From front to back, there were a total of eight bays.

Above each bay was a plaque.

From front to back, they were the eight major Chinese cuisines, including Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine.

From the door, each bay was about 400 square meters, and there were many new Chinese-style tables and chairs.

Go straight up to the third floor from the elevator behind the screen.

Although the third floor is not as big as the first floor, it is also more than 3,000 square meters. Unlike the first and second floors, there is no distinction between cuisines, and all are large and small private rooms.

The best private room in Hongbin Building is the No. 1 box of Jiazi.

The area alone is nearly 150 square meters.

In the middle is a super large round table that can seat 30 people.

On the right is the rest area.

On the left is a high platform of more than ten square meters.

Several women wearing white long coats with stand-up collars and slanting lapels of the Ming Dynasty and jacquard long skirts started playing.

The combination of drums, harps, shengs and flutes is unique.

Xu Liang sat at the top without any hesitation.

Wait for everyone to take their seats.

"Gentlemen, can you please serve us?"

Everyone looked at Xu Liang.

"Let's serve."

After the waiter's woman conveyed the message through the intercom, not long after, a dining cart rolled in.

"Director Xu, it's rare for you to come to Pengcheng again. I ordered our local Cantonese cuisine for you. I hope you like it." Bonima said with a smile.

"Haha, Cantonese food is good, exquisite and delicious, especially the crystal shrimp dumplings and roasted suckling pig. I order them several times every time I come here."

"Today we happen to have crystal shrimp dumplings and roasted suckling pig, which will definitely make you feel comfortable and satisfied."

"Everyone eats it together, so it tastes more delicious."

While talking, a middle-aged man wearing a brown suit and black-rimmed glasses hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Xu Liang sitting in the main seat, his eyes lit up and he trotted over quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, I am Du Xiaoguang, the general manager of Hongbin Building. You are welcome to visit our Hongbin Building."

Smiling and waving his hand, Xu Liang said: "Don't be nervous, I was dragged here to eat, not to inspect.

However, I took a quick look when I came in just now and found that you are running a very good business here. "

Du Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to your wise leadership and the strong support of the head office, Hongbin Building can develop."

Xu Liang smiled and did not continue the topic.

"Mr. Du, sit down and have something to eat together."

"No, no. Hongbin Tower is the busiest at noon. I have to go down and keep an eye on it."

Xu Liang nodded and said no more.

After saying hello to Bonima and others with a smile, Du Xiaoguang opened the door and left.

Everyone chatted while eating.

After finishing the meal, we returned to Penguin in the afternoon and walked around the various departments before leaving.

After passing Taihua Plaza, I picked up Zhang Junning and drove all the way towards Xiangjiang.

"How was the inspection?"

“The venue is in the north area of ​​the seventh floor, with an area of ​​almost 6,000 square meters, which is very large.

I plan to use 1,500 square meters to build a large swimming pool to accommodate adult swimming and children's swimming training.

Then take out another 500 square meters to create a massage area.

The remaining 4,000 square meters are divided into Pilates, yoga, spinning, strength fitness areas, private classes, aerobics, boxing and Sanda areas..."

Seeing her excited expression, Xu Liang said with a smile: "The plan is so big all at once, I'm afraid your 30 million won't be able to support it."

The 6,000-square-meter site is the most prosperous commercial venue in the Shenzhen Southeast Road business district, Taihua Plaza, with a monthly rent of 7.2 million.

This is because of the seventh floor. If it is a golden shop on the first floor, the monthly rent will be 2,200 yuan per square meter.

“That’s not necessarily the case.

I did a simple calculation.

In terms of decoration, hard decoration does not cost much, three million can be done.

The key is the money to purchase the equipment.

The total investment is about 15 million.

Next is a three-month renovation period, during which I used this time to set up the company and recruit staff; after the renovation is completed, it can be put into use immediately.

The salary expenditure is not large, only a few hundred thousand for three months.

In addition, Taihua Plaza only charges half rent for new businesses in the first month after opening.

Therefore, my investment in operating Lohas Fitness is around 20 million.

As soon as it opened, people came in to sign up. As long as 7,000 people paid their membership fees every month, I could balance the income and expenses.

Personal training fees are profits.

In addition, I also plan to sell protein powder, chocolate bars, electrolyte drinks and other foods, as well as fitness equipment, which is another part of my income. " Zhang Junning said.

"How much do you plan to charge for membership?"

"The basic membership fee is 999 yuan. If you add 15 massages per month, it will be 1,999 yuan, and one massage is 80 yuan."

Xu Liang nodded. He didn't know much about the fitness market in 2005 and didn't say much.

"Seven thousand members a month is not a small amount."

“If it’s just ordinary fitness, it’s really difficult to achieve 7,000, but we have a swimming pool, Sanda, Pilates, etc., with a variety of programs that can meet the fitness needs of most people.

In addition, the residents around Taihua Plaza are generally white-collar workers or even gold-collar workers, with good spending power and fitness needs.

I'm still very confident. "

"As long as you have confidence."

Zhang Junning turned her head, put her hands around the man's thick neck, and at the same time put her long legs wearing black stockings on the man's lap, her beautiful eyes were flowing, and her breath was like a blue.

"If someone successfully operates LOHAS Fitness, what reward will you give them?"

These women have been following him for a long time, and they have also learned to seduce him based on his lustful weaknesses, and at the same time benefit themselves.

But as long as they don't go too far, Xu Liang still enjoys it and is willing to help.

The broad and slightly rough hands caressed the long black stocking legs.

"What reward do you want?"

"Invest another 30 million." Zhang Junning said softly.
