Rebirth starts with small money

Chen Li really doesn't know what is the tail of August.

But at the end of August, the acquisition of an office building in the East Third Ring Road of Yanjing by Ideal Group finally came to an end.

Ideal Group purchased this [-]-story office building located on the East Third Ring Road with a price of more than nine figures ~ [-]%.

The specific purchase price has not been announced to the public, but anyone with a little brain probably knows that the purchase price this time will definitely not be low.

So~ Regarding the name Ideal Group, it is considered a small hit in Yanjing's business circle.

After all, it's only 2000, and those who can spend more than nine figures to buy office buildings look at the whole country~
Cough cough, okay~ Looking at the whole country, there should still be a lot of people like this.

But~ no matter who it is, after learning the age of Chen Li, the helm of Ideal Group, they will almost have the same perception.

Early twenties?Nonsense?

To be honest~ this kind of thinking is somewhat narrow.But when everyone thought so, it was obvious that it was Chen Li who was abnormal.

At this time in 2000, domestic Internet companies had not yet fully flourished, and in traditional industries, the difficulty for a young man in his early twenties with no background to get ahead was almost 0.

So there were all kinds of rumors in the circle, although there was no evidence to prove it~ But many people still put various hats on Chen Li's head.

For example, the second generation of officials ~ family heirs ~ even white gloves and so on!

Of course ~ those who spread these rumors are basically people who don't know much about Chen Li, and many people have never met Chen Li at all.

They just heard that the boss of the company who just spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a property in the East Third Ring Road is a young man in his early twenties, and they subconsciously thought so.

But this is also normal. After all, the reason why rumors are called rumors is naturally because they have no truth.

But in the eyes of some insiders~ they know some real information about Chen Li.

Chen Li~male~ is only 21 years old this year. Although from the current perspective~ Chen Li's route is considered to be in the catering industry, but in fact~ Chen Li actually made his fortune by relying on the computer and the Internet.

Yes~ In the eyes of many insiders, Chen Li's real fortune is not based on some ideal fried chicken, but the predecessor of Red Pony Technology. Pony Technology!

That's right~ that's the pony technology that sold the Y8000K patch to Microsoft for a high price of [-] million US dollars.

When Pony Technology sold the Y[-]K bug patch to Microsoft, it deliberately reserved the Chinese market.

So when Microsoft sold Y[-]K patches overseas, it didn't make any money in the Chinese market.

Of course~ in the eyes of Microsoft, the current Chinese market is somewhat insignificant, but this trick of Pony Technology has saved many computer users in China from the harm of the Y[-]K problem.

Especially these days, most of the computer users in China are governments and public institutions, so this trick of Pony Technology caused a lot of repercussions in the industry.

Because ~ when Pony Technology sold the Y[-]K vulnerability patch in China, compared with the price that Microsoft sold in overseas markets ~ it was completely the price of cabbage.

But even so~ Many people still remember Pony Technology, because of the $8000 million.

Although it was later said that Pony Technology donated more than 5000 million US dollars, in the eyes of many people ~ Pony Technology still has more than 2000 million US dollars left.

This seems to be nonsense, because Chen Li got a total of more than 5000 million US dollars in total. If he hadn't invested some money in the ideal fried chicken at that time, it is estimated that the income from selling the patch would not be left.

But in the eyes of outsiders ~ no matter how much Chen Li gets, they will simply remember the figure of 8000 million US dollars.

As for the taxation~ the proportion of shares is not important at all.

Then ~ Pony Technology became today's Red Pony Technology, and became a leading company in the security industry.

Even today's Red Pony has gained a firm foothold in the office software industry, and its current market share is even close to the second-ranked Yinshan Software.

So ~ even though the ideal fried chicken under Chen Li's name now has more than 350 branches, in the eyes of many people, Chen Li's basic position is not in the catering industry at all, but in the computer Internet industry.

Many people think that although Chen Li's ideal fried chicken is good, the general manager Su Mei is more responsible for the ideal fried chicken.

As for Chen Li, his root lies in the computer Internet.

Of course~ there is another reason for this, because although the scale of Ideal Fried Chicken is not small now, anyone who knows a little bit knows that~ although the profit of the catering industry is not low~ but compared with the computer Internet, the two are not at all. track stuff.

Especially some people in the industry know that ideal fried chicken is developing well, but in fact many people don't think the future of ideal fried chicken is so bright.

The reason is very simple~ The current ideal fried chicken is actually more like a product of capital power. Although the development speed is fast, the foundation is actually not stable.

In particular, Ideal Fried Chicken still follows the asset-heavy model. More than one-third of its branches are bought and rented. Not very good.

In addition, I don't know that Chen Li and Su Mei are too young~ they are still somewhat idealized in their thinking, anyway, Ideal Fried Chicken is just messing around in terms of employee treatment!
Yes~ In the eyes of many people, Chen Li and Su Mei give ideal fried chicken employees high salaries~good benefits~even five social insurances and one housing fund, etc., not because they have a conscience, but because they are too stupid~silly Come to the blind.

It’s fine to treat employees better~ It doesn’t even matter if the salary is higher, but the five social insurances and one housing fund are just nonsense.

God knows how many employees of state-owned enterprises are still working hard to protect their three insurances these days, but the waiters at Ideal Fried Chicken are all covered by five insurances and one gold.

Doing this ~ is to be cast aside by peers ~ even isolated.

That is to say, Ideal Fried Chicken has its own independent supply channel, otherwise Ideal Fried Chicken would have been in trouble long ago.

This sounds ridiculous. As a boss, Chen Li pays more money to his employees and provides more benefits. Why is there a problem?

Of course, the problem is not with Chen Li, but with other people~even the whole industry!
As we all know, the catering industry can barely be regarded as a profiteering industry, but this profiteering does not simply refer to the profits generated by the catering itself.

Because among this so-called huge profits, there is still a part of the profits that are actually squeezed out artificially.

After all, unlike many technical industries, the catering industry requires a lot of professional knowledge and cultural reserves to work.

In fact, many positions such as waiters, dishwashers, and even back kitchens have little to do with the level of knowledge and culture.

Whether you are a high-achieving student who graduated from a university or an illiterate who has never studied, you can find a job that you can operate in the catering industry.

Of course ~ college students these days basically don't choose the catering industry, because although this industry doesn't have much demand for education, it is definitely not an easy job.

So this has also caused a phenomenon, that is, most of the employees in the catering industry have a low level of education.

But at this time in 2000, this group of migrant workers in China accounted for the vast majority of the proportion, so this also led to a huge difference in the supply relationship between the two parties.

On one side are a large number of migrant workers who want to find a job, and on the other side is the catering industry that needs a lot of cheap labor. Therefore, the labor force in the catering industry~ has been labeled as "cheap" for a long time.

Of course ~ skilled chefs are not counted!After all, this is considered a technical job, and it is completely different from ordinary employees.

That is to say, under such a premise, Chen Li's ideal fried chicken~ is definitely an alternative among his peers.

How different is it?

It is so different that when the competitors of Ideal Fried Chicken want to poach people from Ideal Fried Chicken, they are immediately dumbfounded.

Because they suddenly discovered that the salary of a store manager of Ideal Fried Chicken is even higher than that of the management of their company.

The salary income of ordinary employees of Ideal Fried Chicken even exceeds that of their store manager.

Under such circumstances, don't talk about poaching people. Some of the staff of these competitors even want to jump ship to work for Ideal Fried Chicken.

In fact, there are really some people who can’t poach people and jump to work on their own. After all, for migrant workers, putting money in their pockets is the most real thing.

As for the profit problem that other colleagues help Chen Li to worry about, to be honest~ this is indeed a problem.

It has been nearly two years since Ideal Fried Chicken was founded. It is absolutely nonsense to say that Ideal Fried Chicken has not made any money.

After all, the fried chicken industry can be regarded as huge profits in the catering industry. Even if the expenditure of ideal fried chicken is too huge, the money that should be earned is still earned.

It’s just that based on the development strategy of Ideal Fried Chicken, almost all the profits earned by the company are invested in the development of the company.

Well~ It’s actually Ideal Fried Chicken. Except for the fact that Zhou Xiaoli’s family had an accident last year, Ideal Fried Chicken has never been rewarded so far.

Reasonable~ It is normal not to pay dividends for a year. After all, if a company wants to grow and develop, continuous investment is definitely a necessary condition.

But there will be no dividends for two years, and even in the following one or two years, Ideal Fried Chicken may not pay dividends. This is actually not normal.

Moreover, compared with competitors in the same industry, the profit margin of Ideal Fried Chicken is indeed somewhat low, which is why many peers have criticized the problematic operation model of Ideal Fried Chicken.

To be honest~ Fortunately, Ideal Fried Chicken has a fixed supply channel of Shennong Food, otherwise the wealth report of Ideal Fried Chicken would be even uglier.

So ~ From the perspective of outsiders, even though the development of Ideal Fried Chicken is relatively fast, it is difficult to achieve final victory with such an unhealthy development model.

Even ~ many people have been waiting to see Chen Li's jokes. After all, in the eyes of quite a few people, Chen Li, a young man with a hairless mouth, is still too young.

It is also for this reason that even though Ideal Fried Chicken has grown to a certain scale, many people still prefer to include Chen Li in the computer and Internet industry.

And once Chen Li is included among the upstarts of the computer Internet, his early twenties seem not to be so dazzling.

After all, the computer Internet is the hottest industry at the moment, and it is not uncommon for one or two young leaders to appear~.

In fact, in the past two years, there have been many rich young people in the domestic computer and Internet industry, but compared to them, Chen Li, who is in his early twenties, is still somewhat conspicuous.

Hmm~ That's just a little bit, anyway, no matter whether everyone can accept it or not, Chen Li just stands there.

Anyway, with Chen Li's rebirth and system double BUFF in hand, he has enough strength and qualifications to deal with everything that may happen soon.

At the end of August, the reporting work for freshmen at Yanjing Foreign Studies University has begun.

Unlike other students who need to come to the University of Foreign Studies to report, Chen Xue lives next to the family courtyard of the University of Foreign Studies.

The reason why Chen Li bought this house at the beginning was because it was very close to the University of Foreign Studies.

And in the recent period, because my brother Chen Li often took him to the University of Foreign Languages ​​to practice, even if Chen Xue didn't report it, he had already gotten to know all his teachers.

The advantage of doing this is that when other freshmen came to report, Chen Xue had already been arrested as a freshman.

Yes~ Chen Xue has been called by her instructor to help.

And Chen Xue was helping out, as well as the sophomores and juniors in the student union.

Maybe it's because it's the first time to do this kind of thing, this girl Chen Xue works very hard, whether it's moving the table and passing the bench, or serving tea and water to help carry the luggage, etc. Even if this girl is sweating profusely, she still Have fun.

This state lasted the whole morning, and when it was approaching lunch, I could finally relax.

"Chen Xue~ let's go, let's eat."

"By the way~ You are still a freshman, I treat you to this meal today!"

"You are from Sichuan Province, right? I'll take you to the second canteen. The dishes there are very suitable for the taste of you Sichuan Province people."

Today's Chen Xue is no longer the greedy little chubby girl in Chen Li's memory. Even in a school like the University of Foreign Studies where there are more girls than boys, the current Chen Xue can definitely be regarded as a goddess-level figure.

Especially her height of 1 meters, exquisite facial features and fashionable outfits are a bit too eye-catching on the university campus.

The seniors who were responsible for the orientation work with Chen Xue, even many of them had already been silently sizing up Chen Xue.

And now the one who called Chen Xue to eat was a student union cadre in charge of the orientation work of the School of English.

This guy has a cropped cut, and the hair on his head is sprayed with a lot of gel water, so he looks a bit like a character in the arcade king of fighters.

"No need, brother~ My house is nearby, I'll go home and eat."

Chen Xue smiled and declined the senior brother's invitation.Immediately~ Chen Xue saw a figure not far away, a happy smile appeared on her face and waved her hand over there.

"Brother~ this way!"
