Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 198 Chapter 197, I Can't Be a Fool (6K)

——Even when facing tremendous pressure, operations must not be distorted, and a balance must be achieved between principles and flexibility.

Before going to bed at night, the lights were turned off. In the darkness, all kinds of thoughts emerged in Lin Chu's mind, and suddenly this sentence popped up.

So I turned on my phone again and wrote it down in the memo.

Tsk.

Is this a diary?

Who the serious person keeps a diary?

However, I've just written it. I'm not a serious person.

What I said to Zhou Luan today was not entirely false.

It is somewhat a true reflection of one's inner thoughts.

On this point, Lin Chu was not prepared to compromise at all.

I have money, but... why should I give it to a scoundrel?
This isn't all just a fight of pride.

But some things, when broken and compromised, have cracks.

Take a step back today, take another step back tomorrow, and what will you become in the end?
……

Early the next morning.

The second batch of gold clubs has also arrived.

So Lin Chu called together the employees from the three departments again, and this batch of golden golf clubs had to be distributed to each customer today.

After the meeting, Xin Fu took the initiative to stay and have a private chat with Lin Chu.

He had a bright smile on his face.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with the results of yesterday's work, and it seemed that some breakthrough progress had been made.

"Boss Lin, I visited five clients yesterday. They are all top-level members, and their annual memberships are about to expire. After the gold clubs were delivered, two of them expressed their desire to renew their contracts. I appropriately expressed my performance pressure, and they have already paid me the deposit. The balance should be in their account within three days."

"One of them had business problems and made it clear that he would not renew the contract. He even wanted me to take back the clubs, but naturally I stayed with him. Word of mouth is king. Business is temporary, but friends can be lifelong."

"The other two are still considering it, but I can confirm that they are also very touched by this action. They talked to me for a long time about you. Their intentions are not clear yet."

"Yesterday, our sales department and other departments finally counted the results. Among the fifty customers, nineteen have confirmed that they will sign up for the Old Friends Tournament. There are six customers who are about to renew their contracts, four of whom are five-star and two are four-star."

Xin Fu reported all this to Lin Chu.

Compared with the previous failure, the effect of sending the club forward is immediate.

However, of course, compared to the cost paid by Lin Chu, the profits obtained are currently only a small part.

I can only say that it’s a good start.

So, he still felt the pressure.

Lin Chu smiled and nodded: "Not bad, continue, it takes time for a trend to form."

Hearing this, Xinfu felt a little relieved, thinking of Lin Chu's previous promise to him - to be prepared to not make any money for a year.

Last night, he did hear that Lin Chu hosted a grand banquet in the ceremony hall and spent several million.

Such behavior……

Oh, it’s hard to evaluate.

Anyway, this boss really doesn't care about money and spends it very lavishly.

It is impossible to estimate his financial strength.

But, as subordinates, it is naturally fun, especially the sales department.

The sales department makes money, but also spends money.

Marketing efforts and performance levels complement each other.

"Boss Lin, our Friends Tournament really does not accept any non-member commercial sponsorship? In fact, if sponsorship is acceptable, I do have a channel that would be interested."

"After holding an open tournament for about a month and a half, we can still make some money. I estimate that there will be between three million and five million."

Xinfu felt that Lin Chu was too noble, or, too pure, too extreme.

Commercial sponsorship for this kind of open tournament is a very normal thing and there is no need to feel embarrassed.

"I have already decided on this matter. You can talk to Vice President Ma and take over all the advertising space internally, leaving it for our intangible cultural heritage products and jade and gold."

Lin Chu accepted his proposal, but was not prepared to slap himself in the face.

The benefits brought by internal consumption may not necessarily be smaller than advertising benefits, and may even be higher.

Anyway, no matter what, you won’t lose anything.

In the Old Friends Gold Tournament, the final prize is gold of equal value, not cash.

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Xin Fu nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Mr. Lin was determined to promote the development of revenue from multiple businesses.

However, this is also a good thing.

The idea of ​​deeply exploring the value of members is also our core idea.

"Okay, I'll go do my work first. I'll continue delivering golf clubs today."

he said with a smile.

"Go."

……

"Today at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, two of us are going to play golf. We request that the course be closed. We don't need anyone except the caddies from the club. You'd better not show up. We want all caddies to be girls, no boys."

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Chu received a message from Zhou Luan.

It was a tone of commanding.

"Don't come."

Lin Chuyan replied with three concise words.

Zhou Luan immediately replied coldly: "?"

Lin Chu didn't reply.

After a while, she made a voice call and Lin Chu did not reject it and answered it.

"I've already made an appointment with my friends. OK, I admit that my attitude is not very good, but we must close the venue, and we must meet those conditions."

Zhou Luan's cold voice sounded on the phone.

Lin Chu said calmly: "Impossible, don't come, I don't think there is any need for us to talk. This time, I am doing this for your father's sake."

hang up the phone.

Lin Chu took a screenshot of the chat with her and sent it to Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, please explain to your daughter. I deleted her."

Then, delete and block them all at once.

Looking up at the sun outside, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue with white clouds.

Not long after.

Zhou Ming also called.

There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, but he apologized modestly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, my daughter is not very sensible. I didn't discipline her well. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"I want to ask, what exactly happened?"

Just by looking at the screenshot and the tone of his daughter's voice, he knew why Lin Chu was angry.

My daughter has lost even the most basic manners.

It was as if he treated Lin Chu as a subordinate. Zhou Ming felt his blood pressure rise when he heard the condescending tone.

Even felt a little ashamed.

It's really embarrassing for the old father to see his daughter behave like this.

Lin Chu thought for a moment and then told him roughly what happened last night, without any exaggeration, and basically all of it was objective facts.

After listening.

Zhou Ming was silent for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, I apologize again, I'll call her."

"Have you got any clues about what's going on with Boss Lan?"

He asked politely.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "I won't bother you with this for now. Let's take care of the things at home first."

Zhou Ming sighed again, exchanged a few words, and then hung up the phone.

This matter is indeed too outrageous.

He found it outrageous.

Daughter, your temper has become so spoiled?
If we don't take any action now, something serious is going to happen.

……

After Lin Chu hung up the phone, he even felt it was ridiculous.

If I have a child in the future and he grows up to be like this, I will really... cut off all ties with him and kick him out.

Of course, if a child is not well-educated, it is the father’s fault.

This is because a good foundation was not laid since childhood.

A daughter should be raised in wealth, but Zhou Luan’s... this is not raising a daughter in wealth.

This is fucking chaos.

……

After sitting in the office, smoking a cigarette and drinking some tea, Lin Chu called Yang Huixian again.

"How's the information over there going?"

Yang Huixian: "I will ask you now and give you an answer immediately."

Lin Chu: "Give me as much as you find out first, I need it urgently."

"Okay, soon."

then.

A few minutes later, Lin Chu had a detailed profile about Lan Yuzheng in his hand.

The amount of information is not small.

And from this information, Lin Chu also roughly sorted out Lan Yuzheng's complete growth path.

Lan Yuzheng is from Beijing.

He dropped out of high school and worked as a caddy in a golf club in Beijing when he was in his 20s. With his scheming and means, and probably because of his good looks and good health, he managed to hook up with a rich woman.

About two years later, I was taken out by a rich woman to play in a casino in Australia Island.

Maybe he reached some secret deal. After that, he never went back and stayed in Macau for six whole years, working as a code-stacker.

The growth path was very clear. In the end, he became the contractor of a casino and also ran a hotel himself.

At around the age of 30, the primitive accumulation of capital was completed.

Then he returned to Beijing and started a golf-related business, starting with the agency sales of membership cards, and then moving on to contracting projects and starting his own company.

Up to now, he has more than 50 companies under his name, with various dazzling equity structures, covering consulting companies, engineering companies, and design companies all over the country, but the registered capital is mostly in the millions.

Looking at these...

Lin Chu had a basic judgment in his mind.

This person is a professional broker.

The kind that is best at using the opponent's force to counter attack.

His main business should still be the construction and renovation of golf courses.

Maybe there is some other work occasionally, and I can make some money temporarily.

As for the background...it all depends on the operation.

Just like the saying goes, when you are away from home, you have to make up your own identity.

Maybe he also has some partners who have woven a network of interests, but the connection is probably not that close. For each "project", the costs and benefits must be considered. In the field of golf course construction, his personal connections should be closer.

This document, which cost $500,000, also listed in detail Lan Yuzheng's three weaknesses.

First, he is addicted to gambling.

Second, as far as is known across the country, he has two mistresses, both unmarried, but both have sons.

Third, he knows a lot of secrets. When he was in Australia, he served many wealthy people and had many enemies. Three years ago, he was in a high-speed car accident and almost died. He still has an injury on his right arm.

After reading the information, Lin Chu lit a cigarette.

It’s true that the brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.

It's really... reasonable that such a person can be so successful.

I'm lucky that nothing has happened in all these years.

Of course, this information is only available through public channels and various means, and we are not sure whether there are other omissions.

What a scoundrel.

There can be no concessions made to such people.

Otherwise, no one knows how big his appetite is.

Serving Qin with land is like carrying fuel to put out a fire.

……

"I have a feeling that someone might break into my office later."

"Have you ever slapped anyone? A woman?" Lin Chu suddenly looked at Liang Jieyu and asked with a smile as if nothing had happened.

Liang Jieyu:?

I was stunned for a moment.

With a forced smile, he asked, "Who is it? You..."

She stopped talking abruptly. She actually wanted to ask, who did you mess with again? Why did they have to break into the office?

But this is obviously inappropriate.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Even Concubine Liang was shocked.

What kind of divine prophecy is this?

Lin Chu pursed his lips.

She went to open the door with a little trepidation.

Outside.

There was a middle-aged man and a young girl standing there.

The man looked to be in his forties, and the girl was in her early twenties.

Liang Jieyu instinctively thought that perhaps this was someone else's father, who brought his daughter to settle accounts with Lin Chu?

She took a deep breath and smiled gently: "Hello, may I ask..."

"I'm Zhou Xuan from Mingliu Group, Zhou Ming's younger brother. I'm here to talk to Mr. Lin about something. Is he here?"

The man said with a gentle smile.

Lin Chu was already walking over here at this time. He took a look, greeted politely, and invited the two in.

Zhou Luan lowered his head at this moment, like a child who had done something wrong, biting his lips lightly with his teeth. Occasionally he raised his head and looked at Lin Chu with complicated eyes.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Lin, I apologize to you."

She suddenly bent down, bowed towards Lin Chu and said.

But, this name...

Lin Chu waved his hand casually, ignored him, looked at Zhou Xuan, and said calmly: "Actually, you don't have to come, I'm busy here."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "My brother specifically told me to do this. The girl is indeed spoiled. I hope Mr. Lin can forgive me. My brother just made her cry. Young people still need time to grow up. As for her bold words, just treat them as childish nonsense."

House seemingly endless rain.

The company is about to go bankrupt, and at this time, this little girl is still here to make trouble. It really makes him feel helpless and at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm actually looking forward to her bold words. How are things going over there lately?"

Lin Chu casually changed the subject.

Zhou Xuan's eyes were a little hesitant, so he said some words to make the situation more appropriate.

He took the opportunity to ask about the situation here, and Lin Chu just answered casually.

Lin Chu knew his core purpose - not to affect the delivery of the first balance three months later.

After all, the financial chain of celebrities is probably broken to the extreme, and every penny is crucial.

Two hundred million is not a small amount.

——From this point of view, I can partially control the celebrity group.

Lin Chu thought so.

"Are you still playing ball this afternoon?"

"I'll reserve court number four for you."

After chatting with Zhou Xuan for a while, Lin Chu looked at Zhou Luan, who had been standing aside and was as well-behaved as a chicken, and asked with a smile.

Up to this point, she was quite sensible.

Behaved well.

It seems that he was really scolded badly.

The good thing about young people is that they are very malleable.

"No more fights. I don't dare fight anymore. I don't want to fight anymore. I've already told my friend to cancel it."

She said softly.

Lin Chu frowned slightly, feeling a kind of suppressed and hidden anger.

Ok?
The situation seems a little delicate at the moment.

——If her friend was really "powerful" enough, and their relationship was strong enough, then perhaps... he had dug a hole for himself, but instead of trapping her, he had trapped himself in it?

My grass?

No, I absolutely cannot be this idiot.

"Xiao Luan, you must have a lot of feelings for this club, right?"

Lin Chu's mind was racing with thoughts, and he asked with a smile, but he didn't look at her, but at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan laughed twice: "Yes, when my brother took over this place, Xiao Luan was just... about ten years old. She spent a few happy years here. It can be said that it was like home."

He didn't know why Lin Chu suddenly brought this up, but emphasizing Xiao Luan's feelings for this place might make Lin Chu more understanding of her behavior.

"Oh, I really did steal someone's love. What should I do? Should I apologize to you?"

Only then did Lin Chu turn around and look at her.

Zhou Luan pursed her lips, sniffed, and turned her head to the side: "No. I don't dare."

He still looked a little unconvinced.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but laugh dryly. In his mind, Xiao Luan was still a child after all. She hadn't even graduated from college yet. It was understandable that she was a little willful.

Of course, Lin Chu should understand now.

After all, coming to apologize in person is enough to show sincerity.

"Hey? Since we have such deep feelings for each other, why don't you come work here? I happen to be short of people here."

Lin Chu suddenly made a suggestion.

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Luan was also slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chu would suddenly say this.

However, this suggestion made her slightly moved for a moment.

"Okay, then you step down and I'll be the boss."

She said it in a joking tone.

When Zhou Xuan heard this, his lips moved. What he said was really nonsense. He wanted to speak out to stop it, but looking at Mr. Lin, he didn't seem to be angry.

He suddenly understood what Lin Chu meant.

Lin Chu needs the influence of the Zhou family to ensure a smooth transition during this period.

But, Xiaoluan, is it okay?
For a moment, he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "No, you should get familiar with it first and start as an assistant. You should know Li Ziming, right? Follow him and let him guide you."

This suggestion…

Zhou Xuan listened to it and suddenly felt that it was possible.

Li Ziming, of course he knew him. He was a veteran of Mingliu Group and was very good at dealing with people. His brother Zhou Ming also trusted him very much.

When Zhou Luan heard this, he also felt that... there was nothing wrong.

Of course, she also knew Li Ziming, who was also an old member of the club.

"You still want to use me to solve this matter, right?"

"I think I can really help you with this matter."

"It was indeed my fault for my previous attitude. I apologize to you again. But you shouldn't have complained to my father. You have to apologize to me too."

"I'm going to be Mr. Li's assistant. From the club's perspective, I will definitely follow the assigned tasks, but I won't do anything unreasonable. Besides, we are equal in terms of personality."

She suddenly spoke.

In fact, I still want to try it.

After all, this club is really...obsessed and has left many beautiful memories.

Moreover, she was very satisfied with the position arranged by Lin Chu.

"I just said I'd apologize to you, but you don't dare to say it? Then forget it."

"I agree with you. I'll ask Mr. Li to come over so you two can have a good conversation."

"Oh, yes. I'll call Mr. Zhou Ming and ask for his opinion. Please step aside for a moment."

Lin Chu said bluntly.

You have already agreed to it, and why are you saying so much? It's just a matter of face.

Lin Chu was quite satisfied with this attitude.

Her father scolded her and it had a good effect.

So Lin Chu called Li Ziming first and asked him to come to the office.

He then dialed Zhou Ming's number again and walked into the inner room.

The call was connected again.

"Mr. Zhou, the conflict has been resolved, but I'm worried..."

Lin Chu told him all his "concerns" in detail.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, and it cannot be hidden. The little girl is hot-headed and can do anything. If she really does something irrational, I cannot help but retaliate... This will be bad for both sides, and Zhou Ming will not make enemies for no reason.

After analyzing all this, Lin Chu said again that he had arranged an internship position for her in the club to serve as Li Ziming's assistant.

After hearing this, Zhou Ming was silent for a moment.

He didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Lin Chu's "worry" does exist objectively.

This solution is indeed feasible.

Very mature.

For my daughter, this is actually a good arrangement. After all, she has feelings for the club and Li Ziming is trustworthy. After some training in "someone else's company", her temper may improve.

"Did Xiaoluan agree to it herself?"

Zhou Mingduo asked another question.

This is also a factor that must be considered.

Lin Chu smiled and said, "She must have no objection. We have already agreed that you can call her. That's why I am here to do your job."

"Mr. Zhou, the children have grown up. Of course, I don't deny that I have my own selfish motives and I want to borrow the influence of the Zhou family, but this is also a win-win situation. The club has been greatly affected, and I am very annoyed. Of course, I know that Mingliu Group and you are in a difficult situation now."

“So, we still have more room for cooperation.”

"I have enough liquidity, but I lack influence, especially in the field of golf. I think that we have business and we have righteousness. After all, I trust your character, and I believe that I should be no worse than you. Let's get through this difficult time together."

Lin Chu casually interrupted a bunch of conversations and said, "I'm not short of money."

Zhou Ming was an old hand, so he understood this immediately.

Can I borrow money?

For real estate companies, it is now extremely difficult to raise funds.

No matter how hard you try, it's still difficult to find one, and almost no one is optimistic about it.

This sentence really hit the nail on the head.

Taking a deep breath, he said in a serious tone: "As long as Xiaoluan agrees, I have no objection to her going to the club. I'm in Beijing now and will be back on the afternoon flight. Do you have time? Let's... have dinner together?"

He couldn't wait to come back and see to what extent it could be implemented.

"Okay, no problem. I'll wait for you. I'll make an appointment with Lan Yuzheng tonight."

Lin Chu said with a smile.

How did Zhou Ming deal with him before? Now, you should deal with him the same way I did before.

Zhou Ming took a deep breath and said, "Okay, then I'll bring a friend with me."

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Lin Chu's lips.

Haha, it’s really interesting.

After many twists and turns, and after dealing with each other's moves, we are finally back here - the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

Lin Chu began to sum up his gains and losses in this matter.

Have you walked too much distance?

Is it a futile effort?

not at all.

After all, whether it is the golden clubs or the Old Friends Tournament, they are both real profits and have also created a stir.

And if it hadn't been for all this trouble, when I first chatted with Zhou Ming, I would have asked him for help in the name of "borrowing money", and the effect would definitely not be as good as it is now.

That's it.
