The Era of Hard Work

This Mr. Bai Shengbai of Shuntai Investment surprised Lu Dong, because he found him the next day, saying that he was going to visit Lu's Catering Company, and he looked like an enthusiastic investor who had taken a fancy to Lu's Catering.

Since the door-to-door is a customer, it is impossible for Lu Dong to drive people away directly, so he took time to receive him and accompany him to visit the company.

It’s not like Lu Dong didn’t have an idea. No one knows what unexpected situation will be encountered when doing business. If there is no guarantee, there will be temporary financial difficulties. In the future, it is better to have multiple alternative sources of funds than to temporarily catch blind people when encountering difficulties. much.

Of course, if you really want to use Mr. Bai Shengbai's Shuntai Investment Company as an alternative channel, you must have a detailed understanding instead of blind eyes.

Lu Dong didn't pay much attention to the meeting at the opening ceremony of Sanlian Real Estate, but now that Bai Sheng took the initiative to find him, he would inevitably pay attention.

It was almost noon, and at Bai Sheng's suggestion, Lu Dong invited him to dinner at Lu's Hot Pot.

Back at the company, Lu Dong took advantage of Bai Sheng's time to go to the bathroom, and found Xue Tian: Go and find out about this Shuntai company, and you can ask Qiansheng for help.

Xue Tian understood: I'll go right away.

When Bai Sheng came back from outside, Lu Dong invited him into the office.

Bai Sheng was deeply impressed when he actually ate at a store affiliated with Lu's Catering: Mr. Lu, after so many years of business, I have been to many restaurants, large and small, but like the store of Mr. Lu's company, in terms of taste, service , environment, sanitation, etc., all of these can be called excellent stores, and there are really very few.”

Lu Dong said modestly: Mr. Bai is over the award.

But Bai Sheng said: It's not an award, Mr. Lu's success is not a fluke. If Mr. Lu's other chain stores are like this one, I dare say that you will definitely have a place in the national chain catering enterprises.

The contact the day before yesterday was more a confirmation of people’s collection of information. I went to the store to actually see it today, and Bai Sheng understood why a crooked investor like He Quanzhong would take a fancy to Lu’s Catering. Such a chain catering company, to grow bigger The odds are too high.

What's more, Lu's Catering Company is already on the road to becoming bigger, with more than 200 stores in Taidong and surrounding provinces.

Lu Dong was very calm, and said: I also hope to become bigger, but I am trembling along the way.

Bai Sheng seems to have the same feeling: The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and any company has to go through countless difficulties and obstacles. The risks along the way are sometimes overwhelming.

At this point, he took advantage of the situation and turned to the direction he wanted: Mr. Lu, have you ever thought of finding more people to share the risks and pressure? There are so many difficulties, and someone must help them carry them together.

This sounded good, and Lu Dong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, because there were indeed people helping to carry it together, such as Heidan and Lao Du.

Bai Sheng thought that Lu Dong had an idea, so he hurriedly said: Mr. Lu, Shuntai Investment is willing to take risks and pressure with Mr. Lu!

Lu Dong saw clearly now that Mr. Bai Shengbai, in the final analysis, saw the rapid development of Lu's catering, and wanted to come in and get a share of the pie.

Boss Bai, I told you that when we met last time. Lu Dong repeated the old words, and the words on the scene were true: If the company raises external funds, I will definitely consider Suntech's investment.

Bai Sheng has other purposes, it is impossible to continue with these words, and if it continues, it cannot be said to be offensive.

Actually, there is another way to allow Lu's Catering to share the risks and pressures on more people. Bai Sheng decided to change another way: It can also allow Lu's Catering to raise a large amount of funds, allowing Mr. Lu to use the most Become a billionaire fast.

In his mind, such a young man is unwilling to accept foreign investment, but he may not be able to withstand the temptation of becoming a super rich man.

Over the years, Bai Sheng has come into contact with a lot of people, and there are too many people who are in the industry. Once they encounter it, they are like taking drugs, and they are addicted to it.

How much profit can you make if you work hard to build a business? Once the speed of accumulating wealth is touched, how many people can still earn hard money safely?

Lu Dong was not stupid, he guessed the meaning of Bai Sheng's words as soon as he heard it.

Bai Sheng said with a smile: Mr. Lu has never considered listing the company? Listing, financing, with the scale and development of Lu's Catering, as long as it can be listed, it will definitely raise hundreds of millions of funds, and Mr. Lu will also become super rich.

Lu Dong also laughed: How can it be so easy to go public, I heard that the approval alone will be troublesome.

It depends on people. Bai Sheng seemed to be talking: I'm an investor, and I know a lot of companies and people who are good at this kind of operation. If Mr. Lu is interested, I can help introduce them.

Naturally, Lu Dong knows that going public to make money is also an opportunity for the company to grow bigger and stronger.

There have been many companies that produced beautiful data in the early stage, with the purpose of making money by going public.

Who doesn't want to get money faster, easier, and less risky, and it's best to make money while lying down.

Thinking of the risks, Lu Dong calmed down.

Perhaps Lu's Catering may be listed in the future for many years, but it is not now.

Lu Dong has an indescribable feeling about the stock market, especially the domestic stock market.

But what he said was still a beautiful scene: President Bai, I will think about it and contact you if necessary.

Bai Sheng glanced at Lu Dong. The young man was calm, and he couldn't tell if he was moving or not.

But he believes that the money in the listing is in front of him, but young people in their early twenties, can they bear it?

Not to mention other things, as far as Lu's Catering is cooperating with Guangmei Electric, isn't Mr. Huang, who is a genius, also working on the listing of Guangmei Electric?

Is that person no better than this Lu Dong in any aspect?

Bai Sheng automatically changed the topic. From the contact between the day before yesterday and today, Lu Dong is not a young man who has been dazzled by success. It is impossible to take it down immediately, so he must work harder.

It involves hundreds of millions of assets, and it is worthwhile to spend more time.

Bai Sheng also had a new idea. From now on, he would come here more often when he had nothing to do. The more he interacted with Lu Dong, the more influential his words would be.

Regardless of direct investment or encouraging Lu's Catering to go public, it is impossible to achieve the goal in a short period of time.

After chatting for a while, Bai Sheng offered to leave: Mr. Lu, I won't delay your work. When you arrive in Quannan, you must call me!

Lu Dong sent him out: Okay, I will definitely call you.

After the people left, Lu Kun, who was sitting at a workstation at the door, came over and said in a low voice, Brother Dong, I'm going to talk to his driver.

Lu Dong returned to the office and asked, How is it?

Lu Kun closed the door: The driver's mouth is quite strict. I didn't dare to ask too many questions. I just chatted a few words casually. But when he called, I heard him say that he bought a special code for lottery scriptures or something like that.

Lu Dong frowned slightly: Okay, I understand.

It seems that things like this special color scripture are sold a lot in Quannan? It seems that there are more of these things in the south, why did they come to the north? I remember Lu Chun said that these things were first passed on from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

He thought for a while, and then said: Lu Kun, if we run into each other again, you should continue to make friends with that driver.

Is there a problem? Lu Kun wondered.

Lu Dong shook his head: I don't know, it's best to be careful.

Lu Kun didn't ask any more questions, but he kept the matter in his heart. He remembered hearing his sister-in-law talk about it once, saying that Brother Dong sometimes looked forward and backward when doing things...

Back at his work station, Lu Kun thought carefully about how he could help Brother Dong.

After a while, Xue Tian knocked on the door and entered Lu Dong's office: Boss Lu, I called Qiansheng and asked about some investment matters.

Lu Dong put down the pen in his hand and nodded slightly.

Xue Tian said: Shuntai Investment was established in 1996, mainly engaged in lending and investment business. The company's headquarters is in the south of Ganshiqiao, Central District, Quannan City. The main source of funds is to absorb private savings at high interest rates. It is said that a person was referred to Shuntai Investment. Money, you can get a lot of commission.

Hearing this, Lu Dong understood, after all, this kind of company has been heard a lot.

For this kind of company, the biggest impression is that there is a slight problem with the capital chain, the boss immediately ran away with the money, many investors lost their money, and some even caused mass incidents.

Similar companies run one crop after another, but emerge in endlessly.

Some people even say that some of these similar investment companies do not engage in lending or investment business at all, and simply play a Ponzi scheme of spreading flowers.

Thinking of this, Lu Dong asked: Does Shun Tai have a bad record in investment?

No. Xue Tian has always been reliable in his work: I asked specifically, this company has a good reputation so far, and it belongs to an investment company with a good reputation in Quannan.

Lu Dong said slowly: I understand, Xue Tian, ​​pay more attention to this company and collect more information about them.

Xue Tian replied: Okay.

When Xue Tian went out, Lu Dong sat on the boss chair and began to think.

Bai Sheng Investment encouraged him to go public. According to the normal situation, it is easy to explain. Shuntai Investment is optimistic about the future of Lu's Catering, and wants to invest in the market and get a share of the pie.

It is normal for many enterprises, especially private enterprises, to encounter such things.

invest? listing? Lu Dong shook his head, and crossed Shun Tai Investment from the future candidate list in his heart.

Perhaps it is not obvious in this era, but I have seen too many similar companies collapse, some even became very large, and they all went abroad to buy teams from the five major leagues, and they ended up dying.

Maybe that Mr. Bai didn't think it was a problem, but Lu Dong felt that if he really wanted to use this kind of company's money, he would definitely plant a huge hidden danger.

Lu Dong didn't have any other ideas. There are so many companies like this, and he is not a businessman who can manage them. Those who can do this business are not ordinary people. It is enough to maintain a superficial relationship, and there is no need to make enemies.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Lu Dong received a call from Jiuyang Wang Xuming, who wanted to come to the University City for inspection.

Jiuyang wanted to build a new factory. After accepting Lu Dong’s investment, Lu Dong acted as the referrer and introduced Wang Xuming to the Management Committee of the University City. Jiuyang had two contacts with the Management Committee of the University City. relatively smooth.
