Chapter 174 Ali's Project

Xu Jinqiu was very curious, and it was not until Zhou Wenya agreed and came out of the bank that she asked the reason. Is Zhou Wenya really suitable?

"Can't you see? He's looking for cattle and horses."

Zeng Ali explained for him with a smile that after entering the Peking University club, she discovered that Chen Fan particularly liked to pick on slaves, and would even unconsciously treat everyone as slaves.

Not to mention the members of the society, even the original research group was treated like slaves by him.

As for choosing Zhou Wenya, the reason is very simple. The girl doesn't have much ambition, nor is she scheming, but she is capable.

You can use such people with confidence.

Perhaps, she is not the kind of person who is extremely capable and can do the work on behalf of the leader, but Chen Fan is not looking for someone to make decisions. He just wants someone who can do the work and make people trust her.

In response to Zeng Ali's explanation, Chen Fan teased, "Don't talk nonsense. I just think Zhou Wenya looks festive and can bring good luck."

Zeng Ali burst out laughing. Zhou Wenya was indeed very funny, especially when she laughed. Her smile seemed to have healing power.

If classified according to Chen Fan's appearance standards, Zhou Wenya's appearance can be scored 75 points, but when she smiles, her appearance can rise to 85 points.

Anyway, it's a very magical face.

Zeng Ali even thought: "When my project starts, I will lend Zhou Wenya to me for a while. This girl is so cheerful. When I am busy, I can feel much better by looking at her."

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded: "When my eldest sister is busy, she is like an ice sculpture. Having such a festive girl in the office can help adjust the atmosphere."

"You talk too much!"

Zeng Ali rolled her eyes at her and said to Chen Fan, "Go back tonight and check the plan again. I'm about to start the project."

Chen Fan's business plan was a complete copy of Lululemon, the brand that sells yoga pants for thousands of dollars and is known as one of the three biggest harvesters of middle-class women.

There is a joke in later generations: wearing a Ralph Lauren baseball cap, Lululemon yoga pants, an Apple Watch on the wrist, and going to Starbucks to drink iced American coffee.

But we have to admit that this brand is very successful.

Its market value once ranked second among sports brands, second only to the brand with a check mark.

The success of this brand in later generations proves that the model is feasible. In this case, we can just apply it directly and there is no need to create anything ourselves.

Moreover, compared with the founder of Lululemon, Chen Fan has greater advantages. At least he did not have any financial problems in the early stages of his business and could launch products faster.

After receiving the plan, Zeng Ali did not sit idle. She had already registered the brand and the company, but she had not taken any action.

After chatting for a while in the car, the car had returned to the luxury house in Repulse Bay. Chen Fan looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he quickly arranged for the nanny to prepare dinner.

These nannies were hired temporarily with the help of Li Hongying, as were the chefs, who were also temporarily transferred from Yipintang and were proficient in various dishes.

The main purpose of coming here on the first day was to let everyone rest. Chen Fan did not arrange for them to go out for a meal. After everyone had rested enough, they would take a good walk around Hong Kong tomorrow.

After dinner, Zeng Ali took out the plan and called Zhao Yuanyuan and Chen Fan to discuss it together. He couldn't wait to start the project.

After looking at Chen Fan’s investment today, I was happy but more worried.

Too much gambling!

It is almost like throwing your entire fortune on the poker table. The profits are certainly huge, but as long as the prediction is wrong, you may lose everything, and the probability of this is extremely high.

No one can guarantee that Chen Fan will always be right and will not make mistakes, so he should hurry up and get the project started, at least leaving Chen Fan a way out.

Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, Li Xiuzhen asked her daughter curiously, "What are they discussing? What pants are they talking about?"

“Yoga pants!”

"They're yoga pants. What kind of pants are they?"

"A kind of tight sports pants. My eldest sister wants to start a business, and the early stage is to make yoga pants. They are discussing how to do it." Xu Jinqiu explained.

"I was thinking, you keep talking about pants. It's easy to sell pants. Just find a place with a lot of people and open a store. Business is free here anyway."

"Huh?" Xu Jinqiu was stunned.

My thinking is still in the mainland. There is a shortage of supply in the mainland right now. As long as you can get the supplies and open a store, you won't have to worry about sales.

Why are the sales clerks in state-owned stores so awesome?

It's a seller's market, you can buy it if you want or not, it's easy to sell. If you leave here or go to other places, you may not be able to buy it.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'll take you to the mall tomorrow. After walking around, you'll know that selling things here is not that simple."

Li Xiuzhen hummed: "Let's see tomorrow. What are you going to do this afternoon?"

"It's my eldest sister's fault. Chen Fan wrote a business plan before, and my eldest sister made some changes. Chen Fan thought it was petty and didn't know how to spend money, so she took us to check the family assets this afternoon."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This son-in-law is really interesting. He even dislikes his wife for not knowing how to spend money?

In other families, if a daughter-in-law spent money recklessly, she would have been punished long ago. Looking at the entire capital city, every family lives frugally and spends every penny wisely.

But having said that, my son-in-law is indeed generous and never hesitates to spend money. Since the first time he came to our house, he has brought a lot of gifts to our family.

When the old couple chatted, they often lamented that their daughter was lucky. Not only was she able to find a partner, but he also went along with her in everything. They had been together for so long and had never had any conflicts.

But she was also curious about what happened today: "How much money did Xiaofan have to invest in Ali to make these yoga pants? Why does he think she didn't spend enough?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Xu Jinqiu curled her lips. She was not interested in this.

Li Xiuzhen slapped her forehead. This girl was really confused. She couldn't even explain the financial situation of her family. It was all in vain that she had taught her the "Secrets to Controlling Your Husband".

After being taught several times, she learned a little bit: to exhaust a man until he was exhausted. So she got Zeng Ali drunk and sent her to Chen Fan's bed.

This train of thought is also quite amazing.

Still angry, he asked again, "You know how much Xiaofan has saved, right?"

"I know this. I just went to check the accounts this afternoon."

"How many?" Li Xiuzhen asked curiously.

"Say it, don't make a fuss."

"Do you think your mother has never seen the world? She used to be in charge of accounts at Liulichang and had seen a lot of money. Who is like you?" Li Xiuzhen laughed.

Feeling the contempt from her mother, Xu Jinqiu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, raised a finger, and said teasingly: "More than one hundred million."

"How much?" Li Xiuzhen narrowed her eyes.

"More than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Grandma..."

Li Xiuzhen was frightened and couldn't help but swear. What unit is 100 million? She is unemployed now. When she was working before, her salary was in "tens".

From ten to one hundred million, how many zeros should be added?
Li Xiuzhen was so surprised that she was speechless. She didn't speak until she went to bed at night. She told Xu Changqing about this matter: "What business do you think Xiaofan is doing in Hong Kong? How did he make so much money?"

"That kid is very knowledgeable. We old comrades can't compare to him. Even if he tells us, we won't understand. Don't think about it. Go to bed quickly. We're going out to play tomorrow."

Xu Changqing turned over and closed his eyes.

He was too lazy to think about how his son-in-law made money. It would be best if his son-in-law was capable, and his daughter's future life would not be bad. This was the most important thing.

Early the next morning, Xu Changqing got up, called Lao Zeng and Lao Zhao, and followed his brother-in-law to the dock. A sea fishing boat had been arranged there, with a guide on board and all the fishing gear available.

When it comes to sea fishing, the three veteran comrades are all novices, but they can’t resist the aura of novices and they keep catching fish throughout the morning. Xu Changqing even caught a grouper weighing more than 30 kilograms.

This is much more exciting than fishing for freshwater fish. Until noon, when the fishing boat returned, the three old comrades were still reluctant to leave and planned to continue playing.

Chen Fan didn't dare to follow their wishes. His plan for the afternoon was to take his mother-in-law and others shopping. If he didn't go back, his mother-in-law might get rid of him as well.

I can only promise to come back tomorrow.

The three old comrades then had no objections and carried a large pile of fish back home. They started showing off when they got home, especially Xu Changqing, who was carrying a grouper weighing more than 30 kilograms. He was so proud.

That is, in Hong Kong, he was unfamiliar with the place. If he were in Beijing, he would have to hang the fish on the back seat of his bicycle and push the bicycle around in the alleys for a few laps.

Seeing this, Chen Fan took out his Polaroid camera and took photos of the three fishermen's catch. The three old comrades then handed the fish to the kitchen and put it directly into the pot at noon.

The afternoon itinerary has been arranged. We will all take a bus with a tour guide and bodyguards following us. The theme is window shopping and food tasting.

This went on for several days in a row.

During this period, Qiu Wenxin visited the boss once. She really wanted to complain about this boss.

Normally you don’t come to the publishing house often in the mainland, but now you have been in Hong Kong for several days, why don’t you come and take a look? Even if it’s just once.

The boss's attitude gives people the feeling that the publishing house is being run by a stepmother.

Even when she came to his house, she was sent away by Chen Fan after just a few words. He only told her to go back and organize various reports, which he would look at in a few days.

Qiu Wenxin was very sure that the publishing house was supported by a stepmother, which was very unfair. It was not that the publishing house did not make money, but rather made a lot of money.

Zeng Ali suggested: "Why don't you go to the publishing house and arrange everything, and we can just take our family with us. We have a tour guide and bodyguards with us."

"Whatever the publishing house may have, it's all arranged, just follow the routine."

Chen Fan smiled and didn't care. He turned around and went to find Chen Min: "Sister, after walking around for a few days, have you decided what to do?"

Chen Min smiled bitterly. There are many ways to make money.

There is an abundance of supplies in Hong Kong, and if we bring them to the mainland and sell them, we can make money, especially with electrical appliances and clothing.

But the timing wasn't right.

The third son of the Zhang family has just entered, and she doesn’t want to follow in his footsteps. She can only feel safe after this storm passes and then engage in import trade.

As for other projects, we do have them, but they have to remain in Hong Kong.

Chen Min did not have this plan.

"Then let me give you an idea?" Chen Fan suggested. He has quite a few projects, but he is still in the learning stage and has not focused on this one.
