Chapter 240 Attitude
The Chen Yingxue family and Song Yi family are not too far apart, and the family layout is roughly the same. They are all villas in the style of small foreign houses. [Baidu search for "--Novels" to get more chapters] If you own such villas in the old city of Donghai, you are basically either rich or noble. After years of accumulation of Fuxiang Silver Building, you still have this capital.
After the two got out of the car, Song Yi followed Chen Yingxue into the house.
Song Yi really met Chen Yingxue's father Chen Ruiyun a long time ago. As for her grandfather Chen Ningguo, I remember that the two of them had never met any other, which was because he was always in retirement and rarely came out to walk around.
Song Yi had laughed before and said that he wanted to see their luxurious decoration. After seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that although the Shen family has experienced many twists and turns over the years, as an old family, the style and heritage are still quite profound. The decoration of their houses does not adopt the magnificent and magnificent style that is popular nowadays. It looks quite rich and gorgeous at first glance. It is a plain but connotational path. The appearance of the villa does not look much different from the surrounding houses, but the decoration inside is quite exquisite, both the materials used and the workmanship.
After Song Yi and Shen Yingxue entered the house, Chen Yingxue's father Chen Ruiyun and mother Qin Yuhua were already waiting for them.
After seeing Song Yi enter the house, Chen Ruiyun also greeted him enthusiastically, "Xiaoyi and Xiaoxue have been with each other for so many years. Xiaoxue was not very sensible before, and he didn't say he wanted to invite Xiaoyi to his house to sit. Today, there is a rare opportunity, so you must gather well."
Chen Ruiyun is not old and well maintained, so she looks about forty years old. She has a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her eyes are very energetic. Her attitude towards Song Yi is even more good.
Song Yi quickly replied, "I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, have trouble."
"I have prepared some home-cooked dishes, I hope you don't dislike Xiaoyi." Qin Yuhua's attitude towards him also changed a lot. She had met Song Yi several times before, and at the opening banquet of Jinyu Jewelry in Hong Kong, she also said a lot to him, asking him not to make up Chen Yingxue's idea.
Song Yi smiled and said, "Why did you happen later? Yingxue often told me that the food at home was very delicious, and today I finally had the opportunity to try it myself."
After Chen Yingxue greeted Song Yi and sat down, she said goodbye to him first. She wanted to go back to her room to change her clothes.
Song Yi naturally would not stop him. Chen Yingxue has always paid attention to her image. It is not surprising that she changes a few sets of clothes every day. If she is at home, she may wear it more casually.
After Chen Yingxue returned to her room, Chen Ruiyun also kindly told Song Yi about some things in their school and what he had just visited Teacher Jiang’s house. He and Shen Yingxue had been together for so long, and Chen Ruiyun knew his background and people very well. It was not until a year ago that he suddenly became incomprehensible and soared into the sky.
Chen Ruiyun was not in a hurry, and Song Yi was even less anxious. He talked to him first, talking about his grandparents and parents at home. Song Yi's father was quite famous in the Donghai circle. If he had a status in it, he would not be worse than Fuxiang Yinlou. He was just famous before. After Song Yi started to make gold and jade jewelry and had actual wealth, he became a hot figure in the Donghai.
After a while, Chen Yingxue changed into cooler and casual clothes. The weather gradually became hotter, and she didn't need to maintain a noble and elegant temperament like she was outside.
Her time was very good, and the kitchen also informed that it was time to start dinner. Song Yi had heard Chen Yingxue say before that their family specially hired a chef to cook. As for her mother Qin Yuhua, Song Yi knew from her well-maintained hands that she didn't cook at home.
Before the meal started, Chen Yingxue's grandfather Chen Ningguo also came out, and Song Yi greeted him again.
Chen Ningguo was in his seventies, his hair was already gray and his mental state was not very good. Song Yi guessed that his body was also the main reason why he retreated and let Chen Ruiyun take over Fuxiang Silver Building.
"I have been listening to Xiaoxue talking about your situation. My company's situation in Hong Kong is not bad." Chen Ningguo also asked about Song Yi's situation with concern.
Song Yi said it was okay. There were many rich people in Hong Kong, and there were many people willing to spend money on jewelry. But he also mentioned that there were quite a few jewelry companies there and the competition was very fierce. Fortunately, Jinyu Jewelry has many advantages that others cannot match, and it can barely gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong.
"Yes, you Jinyu Jewelry has advantages that most jewelry companies do not have. All of this is attributed to Xiaoyi, who firmly grasped the mining of jade wool materials in Myanmar. How did Xiaoyi think of taking such a path? This can be said to be a historic innovation in the entire jewelry industry." Chen Ning people are sophisticated that they can clearly see what the biggest advantage of Jinyu Jewelry is. It is not that they have perfect new rules and regulations, etc., but that they have resources that others cannot match.
Song Yi replied calmly, "I was just a young and frivolous person at the beginning. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of traveling and sketching to go there to gambling stones. Unexpectedly, things were unpredictable and there were many things there. By chance, I followed the local government's inspection team to Myanmar. Finally, I took advantage of the power of the fox and borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank, which set the plan for mining jadeite rough stones."
Although Song Yi only explained it briefly, in the understanding of Shen Ningguo and Shen Ruiyun, things were not as simple as he said. The twists and turns and legends in it can be written into a novel. But now it is not the time to explore these times. The main problem is to solve the current dilemma facing Fuxiang Yinlou.
After deeply understanding the strength of Jinyu Jewelry, Chen Ruiyun and Shen Ningguo also unanimously agreed that Jinyu Jewelry cannot be easily punished. Once they exert all their strength, it is only a very easy thing to defeat Fuxiang Silver Building.
During the meal, Chen Ruiyun also led the topic to this aspect. "We have carefully studied the franchise plan you wrote to Xiaoxue. We have very ideas and the feasibility is quite high. According to Xiaoxue, is this the plan you plan to use when promoting it in the future?"
Song Yi nodded and said, "As long as you find a suitable franchisee, you can quickly open the branch to cities across the country. But this is just a plan. There may be many negligence and omissions in it. We have not put it on the agenda yet. After I heard Xiaoxue talk about the situation of your Fuxiang Silver Building, I thought that you might be able to use it at this time, so I wrote it out first."
"You are not afraid that after our Fuxiang Yinlou implements such a plan, it will pose a threat to the future development of your gold and jade jewelry." Qin Yuhua couldn't help asking.
Song Yi replied extremely calmly, "Actually, I told Yingxue a long time ago that our main competitor of Jinyu Jewelry is not your Fuxiang Yinlou. It can be said that the market positioning of our two jewelry companies is still very different. In such a big era, it is not impossible for everyone to make progress and develop together. For example, some local jewelry companies have emerged one after another, which will have a great impact on traditional old jewelry companies, especially if they may launch some new brands and establish some new standards. If they are publicized, they should be able to gain a considerable portion of the market. As for the future, when brands from Hong Kong and Taiwan enter the mainland, and even some international luxury brands also develop the mainland market, it will definitely cause bloody storms. In such an environment, I hope that our two jewelry companies can stand on the same front, because at this time, it is impossible to say who can lead the way and suppress others tightly."
Song Yi continued, "Yingxue and I have been with good friends with good relationships for so many years. In terms of emotion and reason, I don't want to see the old brand representing our Donghai City image declined. What I am more happy to see is that we all join hands to occupy more markets together. As for Aunt Qin's question, I can also give a positive answer. This is called a plan because we have not used it in practice. Due to my limited personal strength, there are inevitably omissions and some risks, which must be known during the specific implementation, which means that you have to bear the risks in this when implementing it. In addition, if you, Fuxiang Silver Building, can successfully implement this franchise plan, it will be beneficial to our gold and jade jewelry. In the future, we only need to copy it and boldly join and expand with confidence."
Shen Yingxue asked him strangely, "Why didn't I find any risks in this franchise plan? It seems that they are all beneficial to us."
Song Yi explained, "Of course, such a plan needs to be considered from our own perspective. But it is hard to say how much others can accept. If we can negotiate and make it right, of course it is best. When we offer a price, people will naturally bargain. Just like now, if we are a little anxious and want to reopen as soon as possible, many terms may be relaxed. Also, since we are joining, although we stipulate various ways to deal with breach of contract in the agreement, it is still the same as before. With enough customer resources, franchisees choose to break the contract and exit. These are the risks. I also hope that you will think carefully before taking action."
Shen Yingxue nodded in a vague way. Neither Shen Ruiyun nor Shen Ningguo spoke much, as if he was thinking about the deep meaning of Song Yi's words.
If it were other competitors, they would not believe in any nonsense of common development, but this was said from Song Yi. Only he could have such a courage.
From Song Yi's attitude, we can see that he had no intention of making things difficult for Fuxiang Yinlou at all. Instead, because of his relationship with Shen Yingxue, he tried his best to help Fuxiang Yinlou.
Chen Ruiyun and Shen Ningguo looked at each other and both read the meaning in each other's eyes.
Song Yi was also quite frank. In his words, he also meant to use Fuxiang Silver Building for experiments. But the more this happened, Chen Ruiyun became more and more innocent. He really had no malice.
Chen Ruiyun smiled and said, "We are all very happy that Xiaoyi has such a thought. Our Fuxiang Yinlou also hopes to stand on the same front with Jinyu Jewelry, work together to strive to occupy a larger market. Then, our Fuxiang Yinlou must take the lead in joining the franchise plan."
Song Yi nodded and said, "I can help with this, Uncle Chen, just tell me, I want to study more. Moreover, in a short time, we will not have an expansion plan."
"Xiao Yi has achieved such great results at such a young age, and I believe that his future achievements will be even more immeasurable. I dare say, Xiao Yi, your mind is not all about the jewelry industry." Chen Ningguo praised Song Yi, but he was quite helpless in his heart, because it was not that they did not want to compete with Jinyu Jewelry, but that they could not do anything to Jinyu Jewelry. Jinyu Jewelry had a huge advantage when it opened its business, and the subsequent series of combination punches made them confused. After opening the market in the East China Sea and making a splash, they unexpectedly chose to march towards Hong Kong. This ambition and confidence are very comparable to those of people.
After hearing Song Yi's words, Chen Ruiyun's heart became much more at ease. Song Yi had no need to make up lies to deceive them. This also shows that they did not have a plan to expand. This gave Fuxiang Yinlou plenty of time to regain the original market and restore its vitality. If the plan was implemented smoothly, it could even be stronger than in the past. He also understood the situation. In this situation, whoever has a market can have the right to speak can only laugh at the end. As long as there is a market, Fuxiang Yinlou will still be the century-old brand.
Song Yi smiled and replied, "I have planned several projects that need to be spent urgently. Things at the jewelry company must be slowed down for the time being."
Chen Yingxue immediately asked him, "If you don't make jewelry, what are you going to do? Is it the matter of Budian Pinxiang Club?"
"I heard Xiaoxue talk about your Pinxiang Club. It's done a good job. When it officially opens, we will also visit it." Smelling and tea drinking is a very elegant thing. Although Qin Yuhua has not studied much, he also knows that once this club is established, there will definitely be another place in the circle. If you don't participate, it's okay to be criticized as being out of the way, but if you are excluded from the circle, it will be bad.
Song Yi hurriedly said, "I will definitely send an invitation at that time. Everyone is welcome to support you. The preliminary investment in Pinxiang Club has basically been completed, and there is no need to invest much more. Yingxue, you probably know that I like to collect some antiques and cultural relics. This time the plan is related to this."
"I plan to buy things at the auction again? I heard that your jadeite was sold for tens of millions last time." Chen Yingxue asked him with a smile. This matter was rumored for a while ago and became the best publicity for gold and jade jewelry.
"That little money was spent at that auction. On the one hand, some things are really worth collecting now, and on the other hand, they are also considered to be supportive of friends. It is always good to make more friends." Song Yi told the truth.
"The tens of millions were spent?" Chen Yingxue asked in surprise, but then she suddenly realized and said, "No wonder, I just said that the auction transaction rate was so high. It turned out that you were helping with it."
This is what Chen Yingxue and the others don’t know. They can’t imagine how willing Song Yi is to spend money. If it were their Fuxiang Silver Building, with these tens of millions, why worry about the current dilemma that cannot be solved? Song Yi does not need to lie to them. There are quite a lot of preaching in the auction. It is really rare to buy collectibles like Song Yi and help others set records.
Song Yi explained, "Most of the collections are worth buying, and the prices are quite cheap. I only hold up many of them. My next plan is also related to this. I plan to set up a salvage company to salvage those undersea shipwrecks. Such as porcelain, purple clay teapots, spices, gold and silver. When they are salvaged, they can be auctioned through auctions. However, the funds spent on establishing a salvage company are quite large, and I am planning to borrow money from the bank."
"Xiaoyi likes a lot of projects. It is a pretty good project to salvage the undersea shipwreck. However, the initial investment is a little larger, so you have to buy a boat and a equipment or something." Chen Ruiyun said that he had heard a lot of Song Yi's hobbies in this area. Song Yi's origin also determines that he has a very strong interest in these antique collections. In addition to these, he also collects spices, mahogany, and jade. His interest in these projects is even greater than in jewelry companies, and he doesn't have much time to go to jewelry companies. Song Yi is even investing in entertainment companies, which makes Chen Ruiyun a little confused. However, this is also Song Yi's luck. For example, Fuxiang Yinlou is now very difficult to maintain his own business, so where can he get the spare money to make messy investments? He can only sigh in his heart that this person is really annoying than others.
"Yes, even if the shipwreck is successfully salvaged, it is not easy to recover the cost. After all, no one can tell what is below. But this is my personal preference. Even if you spend more money, it will be very meaningful." Song Yi was very interested in talking about such things, not to mention what he deliberately wanted to express. In fact, he felt that there was no need to spend so much energy to pay attention to it in the jewelry industry. He only needed to control the jade mine in Myanmar. How much can gold and jade jewelry be sold now and maintain a normal profit. Anyway, the price of jade will increase exponentially in the future, and he will not have to worry about not being able to sell it.
When Chen Yingxue heard about this topic, she also found it quite interesting. Although she was not so adventurous, she yearned for the blue sea and blue sky, which seemed to be the fantasy of every girl who loves romance, especially for girls like her who learn art.
This also led to the fact that in the eyes of Shen Ruiyun and others, Song Yi clearly expressed his own attitude.
Indeed, Song Yizhi is lofty and has a lot to worry about. There is no need to bother with Fuxiang Yinlou...
