My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

"Community businesses, near universities?"

In the past, even Lifan Commercial Management wouldn't have been considered a good fit, let alone companies like Junxiao Commercial Management and Wansheng Group.

"Yes, now there are several university towns in various cities. Consumption is relatively concentrated here, and the level of consumption is stable, so college students don't have to worry about income."

At the same time, the influx of new customers every year is a good thing for the merchants. Currently, the operators of such commercial projects are not very professional, and Lifan Commercial Management's entry is a disruptive move with a strong competitive advantage.

Moreover, because these projects are stable in operation, have low investment risk, and relatively large profit potential, I think they are worth pursuing.

"Have you done any research?"

"Of course!"

Lin Ya answered proudly, seemingly dissatisfied with her father's questioning of her professionalism. She was extremely arrogant in this area, and besides, the boss had approved of the project. If the boss approved, then there was no room for doubt.

Lin Jian trusted his daughter's judgment. She was the best manager at Lifan Commercial Management before, and after six months of training at Junxiao Commercial Management, her perspective on issues was naturally far beyond what he and others could offer.

She also conducted market research, which showed that the project was indeed feasible. As she said, if Junxiao Business Management hadn't looked down on this aspect, it wouldn't have been her turn.

"Xiaoya, tell me the second thing!"

Lin Ya knew that her father had approved the first thing, but he needed time to consider how to do it.

"The second thing is that I plan to bring Lin Ping into Junxiao Business Management to train and hone his skills."

Lin Ping's eyes lit up. "Sister, I knew you appreciated my talent."

Lin Jian glared at her, but before he could even scold her, Lin Ya sneered, "No, you're wrong. I just think you're too useless, so I'm going to drag you over for some grueling training."

"Tch~ You're just saying that to your face. If you didn't appreciate me, why would you try to poach me?"

"Xiaoya, I agree to let Lin Ping go to Junxiao Business Management for training. You can make the arrangements."

"Aren't you all going to ask for my opinion?"

Lin Ya glanced at him and said, "Your opinion is not important."

Lin Ping immediately hung his head dejectedly, "Okay, but I want to express my opinion, I agree!"

"You'll come with me to Jiangzhou today, and I'll come tomorrow to arrange your work."

"Sister, my job is easy to arrange. Didn't you just say that many provinces are still short of regional general managers? Like father, like son, we fight together. I'll take charge of a province for you and become a regional general manager."

Lin Jian angrily rebuked, "Don't be so ambitious. Regional general manager? Do you even have the ability? A regional general manager at Junxiao Commercial Management manages a company with assets of tens of billions. You haven't even been in charge of a business worth 100 million, yet you want to be a regional general manager?"

“I’ve never managed a business worth 100 million because you didn’t give me the chance. It doesn’t mean I can’t manage it well. My sister is different from you. My sister has a keen eye for talent. She knows how to use people and what I’m good at. She knows what my strengths are and what I’m suited for, right, sister?”

Lin Jian was so angry he wanted to slap him. This kid thought he was about to work under Lin Ya, yet he dared to talk back to him and at the same time flatter his sister.

Lin Ya sneered dismissively, "You're absolutely right. I do have a clearer understanding of you, and I'll arrange a suitable position for you to gain experience."

"You're the regional general manager, right? Sis, you love me the most!"

“Go to the store and stay for three months each in operations, business development, and planning. After three months, we’ll see how you perform and decide what you can do in the future. If you can’t even last these nine months, I’ll fire you.”

"what?"

Lin Ping's face immediately fell. This position was not as good as his job at Lifan Commercial Management. At Lifan Commercial Management, he was like a prince. If he went to Junxiao Commercial Management and was demoted to a store, he would suffer a lot.

After his matter was settled, Lin Jian solemnly said, "Xiaoya, regarding your proposal to adjust the business direction of Lifan Commercial Management, I will allocate 5000 million yuan to establish a separate subsidiary to specifically operate projects in the University Town business district. We will first discuss a few asset-light projects to test the waters."

Lin Ya shook her head: "Dad, I think we can consider heavy investment. After all, once the business district of the university town is formed, there will basically be no transfer of the business district. Moreover, these kinds of commercial complexes are generally not large in scale and require less investment."

Lin Jian smiled wryly: "5000 million? How can that possibly handle heavy assets?"

"Dad, take out 100 million yuan. This industry is worth investing in."

Lin Jian pondered for a moment, "I can come up with 100 million, but even 100 million wouldn't be enough to support a heavy investment in assets."

"I'm investing 10 billion yuan. I'm bold and quick. Business opportunities are fleeting. We need to enter the market quickly and seize the high ground."

The purple clay teapot in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and the scalding tea splashed onto his trouser leg without him noticing, his knuckles twitching unconsciously.

"How...how much?" His Adam's apple bobbed up and down three times before he managed to squeeze out a breathy sound, like a rusty gear suddenly jammed.

My daughter is a working adult; where would she get so much money? "Can you convince Junxiao Business Management to partner with us?"

He seemed to think that his current understanding was correct; it wasn't his daughter who was investing, but Junxiao Business Management that was investing, which made sense.

Lin Ya felt she had spoken too quickly and should find an opportunity to explain her relationship with Chen Xiao before bringing up the investment. Suddenly announcing an investment of 10 billion yuan would be devastating to anyone.

After not seeing her for half a year, her daughter produced 10 billion yuan.

This is the kind of plot you'd only see in a web series.

But now that it's out in the open, there's no need to hide it anymore. Otherwise, one lie will require countless more to cover it up, and in the end, it will be impossible to explain.

Besides, there's nothing I can't say about my relationship with Chen Xiao.

"You heard me right, it's my personal investment of 10 billion!"

Lin Jian's mouth dropped open, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Lin Ping said with dissatisfaction, "Dad, I know you favor my sister, but you can't keep saying the company isn't making money while you've saved up so much money for her. I can't even come up with 100 million, but my sister can come up with 10 billion. Did you pick me up off the street?"

His words brought Lin Jian back to reality: "Get lost!"

Lin Ping fell silent.

"I told you to go back to your room. Your sister and I have something to talk about. Don't you understand?"

With an "Oh," Lin Ping went up the stairs, muttering to himself, "Everyone else favors sons over daughters, but this old man is something else; he's given all his savings for his funeral to his daughter."

Lin Jian was so angry he almost threw the purple clay teapot at him, but luckily he ran away quickly.

After getting Lin Ping away, Lin Jian's expression returned to calm.

"Xiaoya, what happened?"

He knew his daughter's situation very well. If a young and beautiful girl suddenly had a large sum of money, there was no doubt that there must be a man behind her.

Lin Jian believed that his daughter was not someone who would do anything for money, because the Lin family was quite well-off, and she wouldn't stoop to that level.

But this 10 billion yuan is something that most people can't come up with, at least not something a young person could.

The daughter lives with an older person?
Lin Jian felt like he couldn't breathe, he couldn't even bear to think about it.

Lin Ya knew her father well; if she didn't explain things clearly, Lin Jian would probably become depressed.

“Dad, you’re half right. I do have someone I like, and he gave me the money. But he’s a very outstanding young man, even younger than me.”

Ok?
"Whose son is he?"

"He's not a second-generation rich kid; he's a self-made millionaire."

Lin Jian looked at her incredulously, "Are you kidding me? A 20-something-year-old can come up with 10 billion? Did he sell all his assets to you?"

Sell ​​off all assets?
Lin Ya chuckled, "What are you thinking? 10 billion isn't even his pocket money."

Lin Jian was not about to believe it. "Your father isn't someone who hasn't seen the world. Who has 10 billion in pocket money?"

"He is the owner of Junxiao Group."

My throat felt like it was being choked by an invisible hand; my lips were slightly parted but no sound came out, only the deafening pounding of my heart in my chest.

“You…that…Junxiao Group?!” He squeezed out a few broken syllables, suddenly remembering that last month he had boasted that “his family’s wealth was enough for his daughter to spend for ten lifetimes,” but now he was like a clown bragging about toy coins in front of a giant.

He instantly understood many things. No wonder his daughter could become the vice president of a large group like Junxiao Commercial Management. It was probably related to her super-rich boyfriend.

Lin Ya nodded, and after Lin Jian confirmed it again, he lay down on the sofa as if all his strength had been drained away.

This is incredible.

“Dad, next time you go to Jiangzhou, I’ll introduce you to him.”

"Oh, will he see me?"

He then realized that he had overreacted. It was a subconscious reaction. Why would the boss of Junxiao Group meet him? Was he even worthy of it?
Lin Ya chuckled, "How could he not see you? What are you saying?" After realizing what she meant, Lin Jian also laughed, feeling quite proud. His daughter was indeed outstanding; her boyfriend was none other than the most mysterious tycoon in China, the boss of Junxiao Group.

Lin Ya returned to Jiangzhou in the afternoon, taking Lin Ping with her. Lin Jian watched his daughter's convoy drive away and stood there quietly for a long time. Even now, he still felt like he was dreaming. The boss of Junxiao Group was actually the man behind his daughter.

Ningxi Province

Wanshang Group Regional Company
Li Zhi has arrived here and taken over all affairs in the area from Lu Tao.

As he listened to the reports from his subordinates, his expression grew increasingly grave.

The Ningxi branch had always been a star branch in Lu Tao's region, but now it was in dire straits.

"Mr. Li, in addition to the two commercial plazas in Tianning, Junxiao Commercial Management has acquired three asset-light projects in the prefecture-level cities below. There are also four other projects that have been in frequent contact with Junxiao Commercial Management recently, and it is said that they have a very strong interest."

Previously, Mr. Lu Tao and Mr. Wang spearheaded five asset-light projects, and we were negotiating the acquisition of these properties. However, the owners are now demanding excessively high premiums due to Junxiao Commercial Management's bidding, with each plaza exceeding the premium by approximately 150 million yuan. Acquiring these properties would result in significant losses.

This was the first time Li Zhi had encountered such a shameless tactic from Junxiao Commercial Management. Wansheng Group didn't have many heavy asset projects in Ningxi Province; the vast majority were light asset operations. After years of cultivation, the market was already very mature. Junxiao Commercial Management was coming in at this time to collude with the owners and directly acquire them at a premium. This was really messing with people's mentality.

If Wansheng Group doesn't hurry up and buy these high-quality projects, judging from Junxiao Commercial Management's current strategy, they might clear out their entire area.

"I heard that their regional manager, Zhao Hui, calls this tactic the 'groin-grabbing tactic'."

"Groin-grabbing tactic?" Li Zhi glanced at the regional general manager who was giving a report, his eyelids twitching. Being treated like this by Jun Xiao's business management was indeed quite a pain in the ass.

"Hurry up and acquire them. If we buy these five plazas, at worst we can still maintain our base in Ningxi Province. Otherwise, we'll only have a few commercial projects left. How can we continue operating like this?"

“Mr. Li, if we pay a premium, the 30 billion yuan offered by the group will not be enough to buy 5 plazas; we can only buy 4.”

"Let's finalize things as soon as possible. We don't want the other party to use Junxiao Commercial Management to keep driving up our prices. If we drag it out, we'll suffer even greater losses."

The regional general manager nodded and was about to go out to arrange the time when Li Zhi stopped him.

"Have the general managers of both Tianning Plazas decided to resign?"

"Yes, I'm determined to leave. But these are both old projects, and the vice presidents of business have been trained for many years, so they can take over."

"What about the other squares? Have you heard anything about them?"

The regional general manager glanced at Li Zhi and noticed that he looked extremely tired, with anxiety written all over his face.

"Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and with all these conflicting voices, I can no longer distinguish between them. It seems like every single one of our general managers with any real ability has been harassed by headhunters."

Li Zhi sighed. The groin-grabbing tactic was still the same: grabbing the groin from both sides.

While poaching his properties, they also poach his talent. This isn't just happening in the Ningxi area; in his own entire region, you can hear every day about who's been in contact with headhunters.

What should we do if things continue like this? Today we are all colleagues of Wansheng Group, comrades in the same trench, but who knows, when we wake up tomorrow, we might be on the enemy side.

"Moreover, I heard that Junxiao Commercial Management is offering extremely high salaries to poach our people. Some general managers are earning more than 150 million yuan a year, and regional general managers are earning more than 300 million yuan or even higher."

Upon hearing that he was a regional general manager, Li Zhi gave him a meaningful look. This regional general manager was also 55 years old.

Junxiao Commercial Management is aggressively poaching talent this time, but it seems they're not interested in anyone over 50. Both I and the regional general manager of Ningxi are considered "safe" individuals. I don't know if his words just now were an expression of concern about the current situation or regret.

"Trust our team. After all, Wansheng Group nurtured them, and they will always remember our past relationship."

The regional general manager smiled wryly and went out to arrange the project acquisition.

Clinging to old feelings? What's there to cling to? Shouldn't people always look forward, or at least to money?

Junxiao Commercial Management offers generous pay, easy work, a large platform, and far better career prospects than here. A wise bird chooses a better tree; aside from the old and weak like myself, I doubt many young people would remain unmoved.
No, that's possible. Huang Wei from Yancheng should be able to resist temptation. He was a management trainee cultivated by Wansheng Group and rose all the way to the position of general manager. He is considered a key cadre cultivated by the group.

At only 37 years old, he has a bright future at Wansheng Group, which is why he is a talented individual whom the CEO often mentions.

Huang Wei, we should call him over to the regional office in the next couple of days so that Li Zhi can offer him some words of encouragement.

Yancheng Wansheng Plaza is considered the best project in Ningxi, apart from the two Wansheng Plazas in Tianning. It is also one of the projects that Wansheng Group plans to acquire.

After years of asset-light operation, the project has become very mature, and the acquisition is a decent investment. However, based on the current rental income and the acquisition price raised by Junxiao Commercial Management, the return on investment is a bit low.

However, if they don't acquire it, Junxiao Commercial Management will benefit, while Wansheng Group will lose a high-quality shopping mall, resulting in an even greater loss.

Yancheng Wansheng Plaza
In the general manager's office, Huang Wei finished arranging his work and glanced at the messages on his phone.

This was left to him by a headhunter. Because he was a management trainee and had been working at Wansheng Group, he had not yet cooperated with a headhunting company.

The headhunter contacted him several times and recommended the position of general manager trainee at Junxiao Business Management.

He gave a cold laugh, seemingly with disdain.

Am I the kind of idiot like CEO Xiao or CEO Qin? I'm the general manager now, with all the power in my hands, why would I go and become a management trainee?
It sounds nice to call them "reserve general managers," but isn't it just a month-long training program at the group or regional level, a sinecure? It's nowhere near as good as being a local lord here, wielding power and influence.

Other shopping malls have difficulty collecting rent, have vacant shops, and face high work pressure, but these issues don't exist in my area.

As the best shopping mall in Yancheng and a well-known mall in Ningxi, Yancheng Wansheng Plaza is highly sought after by major retailers.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Jiexun Sports. This time, they not only withdrew from Yancheng Wansheng Plaza, but also terminated their cooperation with the entire Ningxi Wansheng Group, withdrawing completely and even giving up their deposits.

Huang Wei thought Luffy was an idiot. Did he think his complete withdrawal would cause any harm to them? Jincheng Sports immediately stepped in, and Luffy lost so much of his contract performance bond, while also completely falling out with Wansheng Group, meaning there would be no more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

As a retailer, whether it's worthwhile to completely bet on Junxiao Commercial Management at this time, taking such a thorough stance, remains to be seen until the very end.

Dudu~
"Come in!"

"Mr. Huang, the people at Jiexun Sports have already started sending goods out, saying that the new store in Hanjiang is short of stock, and these goods are going to support the opening of the new store in Hanjiang."

Huang Wei sneered: "Tell them not to go too far. The expiration date hasn't come yet, and they've already emptied the store. It's bad for the mall's image."

“We also made our requests, but they said if we didn’t agree, they would just close the store now and forgo the remaining rent, since they weren’t expecting to make much sales in the last few days anyway.”

Huang Wei's face fell. "What kind of talk is that? There's no need to be so heartless when breaking up."

"They said it was an order personally given by their boss, Luffy, and they had no choice."

"No, notify security not to issue them an exit permit and not allow them to move their goods out. We've already fallen out, so it doesn't matter."

The operations manager followed his instructions, and he understood Jiexun Sports' approach.

They opened so many stores in Hanjiang, they definitely didn't have enough stock. I heard that they closed all the stores in the Wansheng Group just to make room for those stores in Hanjiang.

Now you're blocking them from shipping goods, so Jiexun Sports isn't generating any sales in your Wansheng Group store, and the new store has no goods to sell. This is creating enmity.

But he knew that President Huang couldn't possibly be unaware of these things, but he didn't care anymore. Anyway, they wouldn't be cooperating in the future, so he wasn't afraid of offending Luffy.

If it were someone else as a manager, they would always consider the possibility of needing the support of a major client like Luffy if they were to switch projects and become the general manager in the future. But General Manager Huang is different. He is the star general manager of Wansheng Group and will probably stay with Wansheng Group and won't switch projects.

After the operations manager left, Huang Wei declined the headhunter's recommendation for the position of general manager trainee at Junxiao Commercial Management via WeChat.

"President Huang, such opportunities are rare, and Junxiao Commercial Management is saying internally that if you give up this opportunity, you will never have the chance to join Junxiao Commercial Management again."

Huang Wei smiled dismissively, "Is the position at Junxiao Business Management so rare? I wouldn't even consider it!"

Okay, now Junxiao Business Management is poaching a lot of people, and headhunters are no longer willing to waste their time trying to recruit them.

Ningxi Junxiao Commercial Management Regional Headquarters
Zhao Hui is now the regional commander of the First War Zone, but he has not set up the headquarters in Shanghai.

On the one hand, Ningxi is now the most critical area for the battle with Wansheng Plaza. On the other hand, it is relatively close to the group headquarters, and he often has to go back to the headquarters to attend important meetings.

Wu Fang knocked on the door. Having followed Zhao Hui for so long, he was considered one of Zhao Hui's most trusted confidants.

Moreover, after following Zhao Hui, Wu Fang made rapid progress, rising from a store operations manager to vice president in just a few months. According to Zhao Hui's arrangement, he would be sent to a shopping mall as a project general manager to gain experience, as he would be of great use in the future.

He's very anxious now. General Manager Zhao has only been the regional general manager for a few months, and now he's in charge of the entire region. He's afraid that if he goes to a store in the future, he'll drift further away from General Manager Zhao, since he's only been with him for four months.

Being appointed as a project general manager by General Manager Zhao is already a rocket launch. The higher you go, the more difficult it will be, and you'll need General Manager Zhao's appreciation even more. But if General Manager Zhao becomes the regional general manager, and the regional headquarters relocates, you'll be far away. There will never be a shortage of followers around the big boss. When new people come along, you, the old guy, will probably be left aside.

I glanced at President Zhao with a mixture of anxiety and uncertainty. Although Zhao Hui was not yet 30 years old, he was becoming more and more composed. He was in charge of a large region with a scale of hundreds of billions of yuan, and his every move exuded authority.

"Mr. Zhao, among the project general managers we've shortlisted for at Wansheng Group, the headhunting firm has already done its research. Apart from Huang Wei, the project general manager of Yancheng Wansheng Plaza, who firmly declined, the others are all interested."

"Oh, a firm refusal?"

Zhao Hui sneered, stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at Tianning City below.

"I was just worried that these people were too opportunistic, wanting to make an example of them, but I couldn't find the right one. Now, finally someone's offered up their head. Let's kill this chicken and show everyone else in the Wansheng Group what's what." (End of Chapter)
