Liu's Building.

The world's number one Chinese restaurant.

After listening to the three cooperation methods mentioned by Liu Xiahui, Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your optimism. I think if Coco invests in the acquisition, how many shares do you need at least?"

Liu Xiahui said: "It is best to be 49%, and the lowest should not be less than 45%.

Mr. Zhang said: "I want to have another question. If Mr. Liu invests in it, will you interfere in Haidilao's management?"

Liu Xiahui shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, even if it is my controlling shareholder, I will entrust Mr. Zhang to manage it, let alone I have no controlling shareholder. I trust your management ability very much. Once I invest in the stock, I will not care about any other management, except for arranging people to enter the financial department and providing assistance to the best of my ability. Mr. Zhang has the final say on how to develop."

Mr. Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. This is a good thing. Haidilao is still the couple's Haidilao. Although it is not as 100% controlled as before, if it reaches a cooperation with Mr. Liu, it will be considered to be backing the mountains and there are still many benefits.

For example, although Haidilao's procurement scale for raw food is not small, it is definitely far inferior to Laoliu Catering. With Laoliu Catering helping to purchase, the cost will definitely be reduced a lot.

The same is true for seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. The larger the purchase scale, the lower the cheaper it will definitely be. Even if it is only a few cents apart, the amount of Haidilao is still a considerable amount.

In addition, there are various connections. Today, Laoliu Catering has long been popular all over the country and has very strong connections in various provinces and cities. Once the two sides reach a cooperation, the Haidilao chain store will definitely be much smoother when it develops to other provinces.

The most important thing is that once Mr. Liu invests in the stock, the funds that restrict Haidilao's development will no longer be a question. Then he can further accelerate the pace of development and work hard to go public!

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang nodded slowly and said, "Mr. Liu said so, then I feel relieved. I agree to sell 45% of the shares to Mr. Liu. I hope to cooperate with Mr. Liu for a win-win cooperation and make Haidilao the number one hot pot brand!"

After hearing Mr. Zhang’s answer, Liu Xiahui was also very satisfied and smiled: “Don’t worry, Mr. Zhang, you and I can be said to be complementary to each other’s advantages. Haidilao will definitely become the number one brand of hot pot.”

Although it was not able to acquire it in full or to acquire it, it was very good to have a 45% stake.

Even if he let go of his hands and based on the development of Haidilao in his previous life, Haidilao was listed in Xiangjiang a few years later, and his 45% stake made hundreds or hundreds of billions of yuan, there was nothing to ask about.

Mr. Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "The restaurants under Mr. Liu's name have excellent reputations. They can be said to have achieved the ultimate taste. All of this is said to be derived from the control of ingredients. I wonder if it is true?"

Liu Xiahui said with a smile: "That's true. The catering under my name has extremely high requirements for the quality of ingredients. At the same price, I can purchase ingredients with better quality. The quality of these ingredients will naturally be far away from other colleagues!"

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Liu, when we reach a cooperation, we may have to purchase some high-quality ingredients through your procurement channels. In this way, our Haidilao will not only serve unparalleled among our peers, but also have the taste to stand out!"

"Of course there is nothing to ask!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui picked up the teacup and smiled and said, "Come on, Mr. Zhang, I will toast you with tea instead of wine. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Mr. Zhang didn't have any worries about coming at this time. He picked up the teacup and touched Liu Xiahui for a while, and smiled heartily and said, "Okay, Mr. Liu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

The general direction of cooperation between the two parties has been determined, and the remaining details are not something to be discussed at all.

...

A week later.

A piece of news caused a sensation in the catering industry. Haidilao raised 2 billion yuan and Liu's Group became Haidilao's largest shareholder.

Yes, the largest shareholder, Haidilao, was founded by Mr. Zhang and his wife. Now they together occupy 55% of Haidilao's shares, but if you compare them separately, then 45% of the shares of Liu's Group will be the well-deserved largest shareholder.

With this change, domestic hot pot chains couldn't help but sigh. Haidilao was already very awesome, but now they cooperated with the catering giant Liu Group, and the lethality was even more terrifying under the strong alliance.

At the beginning of the year, Yum Group, which had just acquired the Xiaofei Yang chain hotpot chain, was also facing a big enemy after seeing this news. Brands such as KFC and Pizza Hut, which were originally owned by Yum Group, were almost invincible in my country. Even McDonald's was barely qualified to be its opponent.

But later, the emergence of Lao Liu Fast Food, in less than two years, the other party's market share exceeded the market share held by KFC and Pizza Hut, making Yum Group regard the Liu Group as its biggest competitor.

Now, I have just acquired the Xiaofei Yang chain hot pot and are preparing to enter the hot pot field.

However, before the Xiaofei Yang chain hotpot has been upgraded and rectified, news came out that Liu's Group invested in Haidilao chain hotpot. In Yum Group's view, this was completely tit-for-tat and 100% aimed at them.

Therefore, Yum Group attached more importance to the Xiaofei Yang chain hotpot it acquired, and was preparing to increase its investment in Xiaofei Yang, and faced with Haidilao, invested by Liu's Group, to see who can laugh to the end.

Liu Xiahui and Mr. Zhang naturally don’t know that Xiaofei Yang, a subsidiary of Yum Group, has regarded Haidilao as its strongest competitor and is planning how to defeat Haidilao and then dominate the hot pot field!

At this time, under the promotion of Liu Xiahui and Mr. Zhang, Lao Liu Catering and Haidilao officially formed a strategic partnership. From then on, Haidilao's ingredients and various seasonings were uniformly supplied by Lao Liu Catering. The price was cheaper than Haidilao's own purchases, and the quality was even better.

In this way, Haidilao's competitiveness has been improved by at least several levels. Coupled with the injection of 2 billion funds from the Liu Group, the entire Haidilao has ushered in huge development opportunities.

Although the shares have decreased, Mr. Zhang and his wife have higher net worth.

The most important thing is that Haidilao is still surnamed Zhang, which makes Mr. Zhang and his wife very happy.

...

In addition to the confident Liu Xiahui and Teacher Ma who is more or less mentally prepared, the development of change communication is completely beyond the expectations of others.

With the launch of change tickets for only half a month, two or three million users purchased them, with a total purchase amount of more than one billion.

One month after the launch of the change ticket, the purchasers exceeded 10 million, and the total purchase funds exceeded 10 billion.

Moreover, this data is growing at an extremely fast rate, which surprised countless financial elites. They can't believe their eyes and feel that their values ​​have been subverted.

In their eyes, the profits of this change pass are pitifully low. If they were embarrassed to recommend them to customers, but this pitiful income actually attracted tens of millions of users to buy, which is incredible!

Although each user does not buy much money on average, only a few hundred yuan, but there are many users who cannot resist the purchase, and that is hundreds of millions of people!

At this moment, an inappropriate statement suddenly appeared in the hearts of a group of financial elites: Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!

For a long time, whether it is a bank or a fund company, the financial management products launched by the company are targeted at mid-to-high-end customers. No one cares about low-level grassroots. This is not to say that they are unwilling to serve these low-level customers, but the cost is not cost-effective.

Think about it, if a bank branch receives thousands of customers every day and each person deposits and withdraws dozens of yuan, it will not be able to support the cost at all.

But the change bus launched by WeChat is different. The characteristics of the mobile Internet are that the cost is reduced. The more users, the lower the cost, and even closer to zero. This allows the change bus to serve these grassroots customers at the lowest threshold of one dollar.

And now, these grassroots users have proved their power.

In just one month, tens of billions of funds were generated.

Moreover, this number is still growing, and hundreds of thousands of users open a change pass every day, which is far from the limit!

In his previous life, Alipay launched Yu'ebao, a treasure-management tool. In just four months, Alipay's new users exceeded 100 million. You can imagine how awesome Yu'ebao is.

Now, driven by Change Pass, WeChat registered users and card-binding users have begun a new round of growth.

As soon as the record of Change Qiantong was released, the fund companies' eyes turned red with envy.

However, fund companies themselves cannot do this like the change bus, so various fund companies contacted Internet companies such as Alibaba and Tencent to request cooperation.

The entire financial market was in an instant, and various Internet companies were not in a relationship with fund companies, but because of the financial management product of Change Tong, fund companies have a foundation for cooperation with Internet companies.

Next, it can be foreseeable that various financial products similar to Change Pass will be launched one after another.

As for whether it can shake the status of the pioneer of Change Tong, it depends on the methods of various fund companies and Internet companies!

Saturday, June 30, 2012.

Today is the summer vacation time for the Fairy Kindergarten. At around 4:30 in the afternoon, Liu Xiahui, who was idle, drove a Mercedes-Benz to the Fairy Kindergarten to pick up his daughter from school.

From the villa to the fairy kindergarten, there are six traffic lights in total. If there is no traffic jam, it will take about fifteen minutes to arrive.

Because Liu Xiahui set out in advance and had enough time, he drove slowly.

My daughter is on vacation this time, and by September, she will go to preschool. At this time next year, the kindergarten will be graduated. Time flies so fast!

Liu Xiahui sighed in his heart. Seeing that the red light had already lit up in front of him, he stepped on the brake and slowly stopped the car.

Before the car could stop completely, Liu Xiahui heard a loud bang, and then his body suddenly ran into the back of the seat without being controlled.

Suddenly, Liu Xiahui felt dizzy and it took him ten seconds to wake up.

Looking back at the back seat of the car that had been completely deformed, Liu Xiahui was really shocked and scared. Fortunately, he had not received his daughter yet. If his daughter was there just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After fear, a huge anger rose from my heart.

Liu Xiahui opened the car door and got out of the car. He wanted to see how the bastard behind drove. The terrifying impact force just now, the speed of the car behind was definitely more than 1300.

At such a high speed at the intersection of traffic lights, this is just a murder!

After getting off the car, Liu Xiahui saw the rear-end of his vehicle, which was a Porsche Cayenne that had also been deformed. At this time, a man and a woman got out of the car, and there were some blood on their foreheads. Obviously, the rear-end of them just now made it difficult for them to have a hard time.

Originally, Liu Xiahui was holding back the anger in his heart and planned to figure out the reason why the other party rushed at such a high speed at the traffic light intersection before deciding whether to get angry.

As a result, as soon as the person approached, he didn't even say anything, and a strong smell of alcohol came to his nose.

Drunk driving!

Liu Xiahui hates most drunk driving!!

At this moment, Liu Xiahui could no longer hold it back and swung his hand hard to slap the female driver with a good appearance.

While smoking, he cursed: "Cao Nima, don't you know if you don't drink or drive? You don't want to live anymore, and you have to drag others to die together, right?"

Liu Xiahui took action very quickly. After saying this, he had already slapped the beautiful driver several times, making his pretty face red and swollen instantly.

"Damn it!" It was not until this time that the man reacted and immediately rushed towards Liu Xiahui with his teeth and claws. Obviously, even if he drank too much, he knew who he was.

Although it wasn't the man who drove, Liu Xiahui had no good feelings for him. If he stood there honestly, it would be difficult to find fault with him. After all, he was just a passenger rather than a driver.

But since the other party intends to do something with him, there is nothing to say.

So, Liu Xiahui kicked the man over without saying a word and kicked the man to the ground.

Although Liu Xiahui has not practiced any martial arts, he has been practicing for many years, and it is not difficult to deal with a young man who is already 70% or 80% drunk.

This powerful kick made the man lie on the ground and vomit.

For a moment, the drunkenness surged!

These things are long, but in fact, from crashing, to getting off the car, and then Liu Xiahui got angry and beat people. In just a few dozen seconds, passers-by and some nearby car owners had already come to watch.

Almost everyone nearby heard the scolding when Liu Xiahui was just beating people, and the situation at the scene was clear at a glance. It was nothing more than the driver of the car behind who drove drunk and then hit the car in front.
To be continued...
