Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"Auntie, our cafe is different from the regular ones. It's a new business model. We focus on takeout, just like a milk tea shop. We don't serve dine-in customers..."

"There's still this kind of coffee shop. It's a good idea. The young people working in the building opposite always buy a cup of coffee every day. And the price in this small shop must be cheap. I just don't know how it tastes."

"Auntie, although our store is small, our coffee is absolutely exquisite. We save the high store fees and use them to give back to our customers..."

After some communication, the aunt showed great interest in the cafe and kept saying that she would help promote it. She also promised to call on her neighbors in the mahjong hall and surrounding stores to come and support it.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Fan Shengmei got straight to the point and said, "Aunt Yang, it's not easy for a girl like me to run a business, so please give me a lower price!"

When asked about the money, Aunt Yang refused to budge and said, "Oh, 65,000 yuan a year is a bargain, isn't it? You have to let me earn some money too!"

Han Tao said that the investment in the first three stores was invested by Fan Shengmei and others. If the money was not enough, he could borrow it, so that they could use it as original shares to get dividends, so Fan Shengmei had to continue to fight:

"Aunt Yang, I have to sign a contract for at least three years. And didn't you say there's a small shop of four or five square meters vacant in the JA area? I can rent it later. Can you just give me a lower price?"

"Oh, alright, alright, I'll give you a discount of five thousand yuan, just round it up. You're such a great bargainer, whoever marries you will be lucky!"

"Auntie, it's not easy for young people to start a business. You have to be careful with your budget. Thank you. Let's go sign the contract!"

Thanks to Fan Shengmei's excellent eloquence, she not only learned about the aunt's family situation, but also successfully paid back 5,000 yuan. In the end, this five-square-meter shop was sold for 60,000 yuan a year.

And don’t think it’s expensive. In the PD area of ​​Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable, this price is definitely a great value for money even for such a small store.

Chapter 485: The Dream Sets Sail and Guan Juer's Change

An hour later, the contract was signed and the payment was made. Fan Shengmei borrowed another 100,000 yuan from Han Tao, plus Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying's investment of a total of 150,000 yuan, only 90,000 yuan was left.

However, choosing a location for the coffee shop was only the first step. Next, she had to rely on the remaining 90,000 yuan to deal with decoration, equipment, material procurement and other issues.

Fortunately, Han Tao promised that if the money was not enough, he would make a seed investment, and the initial amount was booked within 500,000.

This made Fan Shengmei sigh. She was very lucky to have such a big boss to lean on, otherwise it would be too difficult to start a business from scratch. Just a small shop that is only one and a half meters wide and less than three and a half meters deep would cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Fortunately, the location is good, and the two shops next door can also boost business, because the neighbors are a steamed bun shop and a dessert shop respectively.

Although their area is not large, the size of 20 square meters is much better than this small shop. Fortunately, the positioning is different, so the size of the store does not matter. The key is to be able to make a good cup of coffee.

Finally, there is the issue of decoration. Han Tao gave her Chen Xi's phone number. Han Tao has big plans for investment in the cafe.

Therefore, as the two companies will be long-term partners in the future and have the same investor, Longi will not be dissatisfied with the smaller one now.

After all these are done, the next step is the signboard. After obtaining the landlord's consent, Fan Shengmei directly found an advertising company to custom-make a neon sign, which will be hung up after the decoration is completed.

In addition, Fan Shengmei also handled the details very well. For this purpose, she also customized a retractable blue awning to help customers avoid the sun and rain while queuing under the scorching sun or on rainy days.

After returning to the shop, Fan Shengmei's mentality had changed a lot. Now this has become her foundation, and she likes it no matter how she looks at it.

During this time, she couldn't help but take a few photos of the current state of the shop, as well as photos of her and the shop, and then posted them on her Moments and in the group.

The content is about the dream setting sail. The location of the first store has been successfully selected. We look forward to it being transformed from nothing into an exquisite coffee shop.

No matter what, this is the first step in a long journey, so Fan Shengmei is still full of expectations.

After seeing the pictures Fan Shengmei posted in the group, and knowing that the first store was about to open, Guan Juer specially sent a congratulatory message:

"Congratulations, Sister Fan, for taking the first step successfully!"

Qiu Yingying, who was staring at the online store, was also very happy. She excitedly sent a message in the group: @小美美妹 "Come on, Sister Fan, I'm resigning from my manager today and will work with you after the renovation is finished!"

Qu Yaojing: @小美美妹 "Congratulations, Sister Fan. I see the location is nearby, so I'll go over and give you some advice. Are you welcome?"

Andy: @小美美妹 "Congratulations, Miss Fan. Xiao Qu and I were planning to have breakfast together. We'll come to your place to check on you. Wait for us!"

Seeing the blessings sent by several people, Fan Shengmei was moved, so she quickly replied: @Everyone "Thank you to the sponsors Xiaoqu and Andy, Xiaoqiu and Guanguan for sharing the congratulations. Sister is waiting for you two to arrive, the three of us will have a great time!"

Qu Xiaoxiao responded enthusiastically: @小美美妹 "To celebrate Brother Han's entry into the coffee industry, and to celebrate Sister Fan's courage in taking the first step, I'll book a restaurant tonight, so let's all have a good time together today!"

Little Earthworm: "I agree with this. We can have a big dinner tonight!"

Little Beauty: "Thank you, Miss Qu. We will obey your orders!"

Qu Yaojing: "We are sisters, why are you being so polite? By the way, where are you, Sister Fan? Andy and I are at the door, but why can't we see you?"

After seeing this message, Fan Shengmei hurried out of the store, looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and Andy and waved:

"Andy, Xiao Qu, I'm here. I just took over and went in to take a look!"

"Sister Fan, I didn't realize it in the photos, but now it looks like the store is too small, right?"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao opened the door and looked inside, then frowned and said, "What's going on? Brother Han asked us to invest in the newly established Yunxiao. I thought we were going to do something big, but how come we ended up with such a small shop?

Why would you even need investment? Not to mention the capital tycoon Brother Han, even I wouldn't even consider this a good deal. This is just a small shop. If I lend you a few hundred thousand, you could open a few more. Why would you even need venture capital?"

"You said Han Tao is a big shot, do you think he would be interested in small businesses? To be honest, this is not as simple as you think. Our coffee shop is positioned as small but exquisite..."

Fan Shengmei gave Qu Xiaoxiao a glare, then told her all the plans and details of opening this coffee shop.

After hearing this, Qu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of Brother Han, this idea is incredible! I never thought this small coffee shop could hold such a huge business opportunity!"

When Fan Shengmei heard Qu Xiaoxiao's words, she frowned and asked, "Xiao Qu, I asked you to help us improve the feasibility report before. Didn't you read the materials? Why do you seem to know nothing?"

"Haha, I was too busy before, so I asked the company's planning department to help me get the information. I'll give it to you directly after it's done."

After saying this, Qu Xiaoxiao, knowing that she was in the wrong, smiled a little embarrassedly.

"You're really good at saving trouble. Han Tao asked Fan Xiaomei and the others to find you so that you could improve together and see what kind of projects are worth investing in. And you're actually being lazy!"

Andy reminded Qu Xiaoxiao a few times before guiding her, "You must never do this again in the future. Han Tao has already completed the seed round. Once the store has achieved results and data, you will proceed to the next angel round of investment. How can you do this without understanding?

Xiaoqu, you must never underestimate any business plan. Han Tao's theory is very powerful. As long as Fan Xiaomei and the others grow quickly, it will develop soon.

Because Han Tao is already preparing a complete talent system. As long as he maintains a good grasp of quality control and continues to expand smoothly, a business empire will rise!"

"Andy, are you saying that Brother Han is using this to train all of us? Including letting Sister Fan and the others open a few stores themselves, just so we can experience the entrepreneurial journey of the first generation of wealthy people?"

As she spoke, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Andy, and when she nodded, she continued:

"So, Brother Han is aiming for this coffee project to become a chain like Starbucks?"

Qu Xiaoxiao's reaction was very quick, and she immediately grasped what Andy wanted to express. This made her understand Han Tao a little better, and her admiration for him was sublimated again. This was really teaching a man to fish!

Seeing that she got through, Andy looked at Fan Shengmei with a smile and said, "Okay, Miss Fan, congratulations on having a good boss.

Now it's up to you guys. The most important thing now is to get this little shop open and running smoothly, otherwise it's all just empty talk!"

Fan Shengmei nodded and said in agreement, "That's right, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I will work hard. Han Tao has given us the opportunity to change our destiny. It depends on whether we can seize it.

But I will do my best and won't let his efforts go to waste!"

"This is so corny! The renovation of this store will take several days, and we can't help. Let's go have breakfast. I'm starving!"

Qu Xiaoxiao saw that Fan Shengmei's demeanor and expression when she mentioned Han Tao was a little different from before, so she couldn't help but interrupt her, and then pulled Andy to a morning tea shop under the office building opposite.

On the way, Fan Shengmei also received messages from several classmates and former colleagues. They all sent messages after seeing the circle of friends.

It’s quite surprising that they can open a store in Shanghai. It just proves the saying that if you are poor in a downtown, no one will care about you; if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives!

During this period, Wang Baichuan also made a special phone call from another place, but the two hung up after talking for a few words.

Ever since she borrowed the 200,000 yuan, Fan Shengmei has stopped having an affair with Wang Bochuan and had a frank talk with him. After being rejected, Wang Bochuan did not show up for many days, saying that he was on a business trip.

According to his own words, he just wants to work hard to build up the company quickly, make money to buy a house, and finally return as a king to marry Fan Shengmei.

………………

At the same time, after Guan Juer sent the message, she found that many colleagues gathered around her and started chattering.

Afterwards, surrounded by everyone, Guan Juer walked to her workstation. Ye Zi and Song Nuan also teased her:

"Guan Guan, you hid it from us so hard, and you even said we were just neighbors. It's a pity we trusted you so much!"

"Exactly. If someone hadn't revealed it yesterday, we wouldn't have known about it. And the car that brought you here today completely overturned my understanding."

"I agree. This is a true luxury car. A Pullman worth over 10 million. It's like a walking mansion. Those previous cars can't compare to it at all!"

"Ye Zi, what do you and Nuan Nuan mean by breaking the news?"

When Pullman was mentioned, Guan Juer thought of the long kiss in the car, so her face turned slightly red and she asked embarrassedly.

Ye Zi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Let's stop pretending. If you weren't in love, you wouldn't have changed so much. Besides, the clothes you're wearing and the Blancpain on your wrist together are worth at least hundreds of thousands.

And yesterday, a big client of the company called Manager Tang and asked someone to take care of you. Don't tell me it wasn't your boyfriend who called, and don't say you didn't know!"

"I'm not lying. I really didn't ask Brother Han to call, did I?"

Guan Juer looked at Ye Zi and Song Nuan in a daze, but before they could respond, their manager came and everyone hurriedly dispersed. Song Nuan said she would talk about it during lunch break and ran back to her workstation.

When Manager Li passed by Guan Juer, although he didn't say anything, he took a special look at her.

In her subsequent work, Guan Juer found that her colleagues were different, especially Manager Li, whose attitude towards her was better than before.

After assigning herself a task, she actually asked herself for the first time if it was too much, and said that I could tell her if I was too busy.

Guan Juer knew that these changes around her were caused by Han Tao. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she surprisingly did not reject it because she thought it was sweet and Han Tao did this because he cared about her.

Chapter 486: Specialties Box After Box

After arriving at the law firm, Han Tao received what he wanted. Although Xu Jie had not yet boarded the plane, the things had been sent back in advance through special channels.

However, after Han Tao saw the things, he held a few pieces of paper and pondered for a long time. Then he frowned and sat down on the chair, lowering his head to think about what to do next.

These are the evidence materials sent back by Xu Jie. The matter has become clear. Chen Wenguang was wrongly accused and someone framed him.

Lian Chuang's business manager Li Yi was also a scapegoat, someone they pushed forward to take the blame.

However, this evidence also includes more than 30 companies and individuals, and none of them are simple. Although they are not all leaders in their respective fields, they are all very influential people.

So it is easy to take down Lian Chuang, but it is difficult to deal with the rest of the people. If they knew that he had this in his hands, they would be unable to sleep or eat. These people will definitely make trouble, which will bring great trouble to Han Tao.

"I'll figure out what to do. Go ahead and do your work, Wendy!"

Han Tao didn't let Wendy waste time with him. Although it was easy to get the things, how to deal with them was a problem, so it would not be figured out in a short time.

"Okay, Boss, you called me for something!"

After saying that, Wendy turned and left the office, walking out with a pair of long legs. She is now the chief operating officer and has a lot of things to do, so she can only spare two hours a day to deal with Han Tao's problems.

In the past, the management of a law firm was jointly completed by the boss and the partners. In addition to their main job as a lawyer, each person also worked part-time in other jobs.

But the situation is different now, and changes have begun. The administrative department is in charge of internal affairs, allowing lawyers to focus more on cases and avoid the previous intrigues. Therefore, except for legal cases, all matters are under the management of Wendy, the chief operating officer.

When he was the only one left in the office, Han Tao picked up the documents again and felt a headache looking at them, especially some of the names and information.

"Looking at it this way, even though it's hot, it's not all bad news. There are still some unexpected gains!"

Thinking of this, Han Tao began to tick off the list, removing some unimportant and key figures and companies. The remaining ones were Han Tao's ultimate target.

While thinking and planning, he worked out the details and content, then copied the information, put them into different file bags and put them in the class safe.

But just as she put her things away, Wendy walked into Han Tao's office, looked at him and said:

"Boss, Sister Li Na's side is almost settled, but she wants you to go to Beijing. One reason is to discuss something with you in person, and the other is that she has a case to introduce to you!"

Hearing this, Han Tao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, I just happen to need to go to Beijing, otherwise Lian Chuang's case will be difficult to handle!"

"Then I'll reply like this, Sister Lina, when you're leaving, just call me and I'll arrange your itinerary!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work Wendy!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Wendy shook her head. "As you should. Boss, I'm going out now. If you need anything, call Xiao Qing. She's waiting outside. He Xingyun and Luo Yun are in court now, so they might not be back until noon!"

Han Tao nodded and said, "Well, when Luo Yun comes back, ask her to come over. I have something to ask her!"

"Got it, Boss. I'm going to get busy!"

"it is good!"

Han Tao looked at Wendy's departing back and fell into deep thought. Since Lina had agreed to come, it meant that something had happened with Quan Jing, otherwise she would not agree to leave Robin.

In Robin's heart, although Lina is the partner with whom she has the best tacit understanding, that is only limited to work, and administrative work at that. She can cook the most perfect meal, and even Wendy has some shortcomings.

However, when faced with professional issues, Robin's assistant Daisy and old lover Lan Hong can both talk to him, but Lina can't do it because she is not a professional in this field.

Including thinking patterns, Robin, Daisy, and Lan Hong are all college graduates, and their thinking patterns are rational. Of course, Daisy is a bit saintly.

But Lina has an emotional mindset, which leads to the fact that the people's ways of dealing with people and social styles are completely on the same page.

However, it must be said that Lina is definitely a talent and can be a good comrade-in-arms, especially in dealing with non-professional issues. She can be regarded as the ceiling and the case standard. This is Lina's ability.

But Han Tao is different. Although he is also a lawyer, his style of doing things is different from Robin and others. This is due to his personality and identity. In addition to being a lawyer, Han Tao has many other identities that others cannot compare with.
