What's more, now that celebrity chefs are doing well in manufacturing and operating, there is no shortage of money at all. Why should Xiao Feng accept external venture capital? How could he not know the purpose of these venture capital investments? They just want to make his store a success.

Become a popular brand and then go public to make money.

If you go public to make money, you have to publish financial reports. Xiao Feng has no intention of publishing the financial reports of celebrity chefs. After all, his company is not yet ready to be scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

So he directly threw aside the business card of the manager of Yingyue International. Katya smiled: "Since you don't plan to contact them, you should be careful."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

After chatting with Katya for a while, Xiao Feng sent Katya away and planned to go out for a meal. He made an appointment with Li Mingcheng and planned to renovate his old house. Today, this guy happened to show him some drawings.

Li Mingcheng insisted on treating the guests and decided to have dinner at Yueli Bay.

Yueli Bay is a famous seafood restaurant in Bincheng. If you spend less than 10,000 yuan on a regular meal, you can see that Li Mingcheng has made a lot of money recently, so I specially invited Xiao Feng to come here for dinner.

express his gratitude.

Xiao Feng drove to the restaurant and entered the private room. Li Mingcheng had already ordered the food.

"Mr. Xiao, I won't say any more, it's all in the wine."

When the food was served, Li Mingcheng was about to toast Xiao Feng. After this celebrity chef manufacturing investment promotion conference, Xiao Feng subcontracted a lot of decoration work to him because he required unified decoration, which made him earn a lot.

Xiao Feng is now his big benefactor, so of course he has to hold Xiao Feng's thigh tightly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the future, celebrity chefs will only do better and better, and more and more franchise stores will open. He, Li Mingcheng, is not stupid, and of course he knows the benefits of following Xiao Feng's pace.

"Hey, you're welcome, Mr. Li. There is no need to talk nonsense between us. As long as you do your job well, that will be my greatest reward."

Xiao Feng also said this, but he really admired Li Mingcheng. Many of his stores were decorated by Li Mingcheng, and several decoration styles in his stores were specially designed by him.

He was very satisfied.

Moreover, Li Mingcheng is also quite honest. He is very conscientious when decorating and rarely cuts corners. This is why he likes to work with this person.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Mingcheng took out his tablet: "Mr. Xiao, here are several plans I have designed for you. You can choose one from them. Don't mention the design fee or anything like that. I'll give it to you."

of."

The old house that Xiao Feng lives in now is still the old house left by his grandfather. Although the location is good, the house is already quite old. He has wanted to renovate it a long time ago, but he never had money at that time, so he could only

I stopped at the stage of thinking about it, but then after I got money, I was busy traveling between the two worlds and making more money, so the matter was delayed.

Some time ago, after the investment conference, he felt that the time was ripe, so he told Li Mingcheng about it, and of course Li Mingcheng agreed.

With the subcontracting project given by Xiao Feng, Li Mingcheng is now changing his guns and expanding his team. The company has recruited many new people. Now many franchise stores made by famous chefs across the country are being renovated, but they are all under his people.

Staring, he only needed to go over regularly to check and track the progress. He no longer had to do it himself. He also had free time, so he came up with the design plan that Xiao Feng wanted.

Xiao Feng took the tablet and started to slide the screen. He had already visited his old house, Li Mingcheng, and measured its dimensions. Because his old house did not belong to any historical building and was no longer in the downtown area, there was no need to rebuild it.

There are no special procedures, so renovating is not a hassle.

The design drawings on the screen were very beautiful. Li Mingcheng had asked him about his preferences before and gave him a lot of opinions. Xiao Feng didn't know much about Greek style or Baroque style, but he knew what he liked.

house.

Among these drawings, he was quickly attracted by a modern and simple Nordic style design with mainly white tones. The use of gray tile roofs, large areas of white exterior walls and glass made the room look very bright.

The interior of the house also uses a lot of soft light design, which looks very warm. Moreover, because it draws on Nordic design concepts, the house has done a very good job in ventilation and heat preservation, which makes Xiao Feng look very satisfied.

"That's it. How much does it cost?"

Xiao Feng selected the drawings and then asked Li Mingcheng to come. Li Mingcheng smiled and flattered him.

"Mr. Xiao, you are really discerning. This set is based on the Nordic style design concept. It is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very practical. The most important thing is the furniture inside. You also know that these Nordic designers pay great attention to the practicality of the furniture.

During the design, many artificial mechanics concepts are considered, so their furniture is really comfortable to use..."

The reason why Xiao Feng chose such a drawing was of course taking this into consideration. He likes furniture designed by Nordic designers very much. It is really comfortable to use, including sofas, beds, and chairs.

Traditional Chinese furniture is made in a boxy shape with straight boards and many beautiful carved patterns. It looks beautiful, but it is often not that comfortable to sit on and use.

Nordic furniture design usually takes into account the weight of the body, the height of the body, and even the curvature of the waist support. For example, the dressing table in the kitchen will be designed according to the height of the user. The main starting point for designers is,

The main purpose is to make people comfortable to use, and they are more practical. This is what Xiao Feng likes most about them.

"Well, if you choose this set, with hard and soft furnishings, the total cost will be about four million, which should be enough. Well, it mainly includes the demolition of your old house and the addition of a three-story basement as you requested. We will

Digging the foundation and the cost of customizing furniture..."

In fact, it really doesn’t cost much to build a new house, but Xiao Feng’s requirements are relatively high, so the cost is also relatively high. Li Mingcheng was afraid that Xiao Feng would misunderstand, so he kept explaining to him, but now Xiao Feng is definitely considered wealthy.

He didn't take the money seriously at all.

"Okay, just four million. If you don't have enough money later, let me know."

Xiao Feng understands the principle that you get what you pay for, and he will live in this house for decades in the future, so even if the materials are good, he doesn't care about the money at all.

"As expected, he is a big boss who does big business. He is very happy."

Li Mingcheng hurriedly followed up, put down the tablet, and the two continued chatting. But just then, when they put their bags on the door, there was a sudden knock from outside.

Then a middle-aged man walked in with another middle-aged man in his early thirties with a smile.

Xiao Feng knew the middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses in front of him. He was President Feng of Binhai Bank, whom he had dealt with before. But he did not recognize the man in the back wearing a Bulgari suit and a oily haircut.

"Haha, Mr. Xiao, I also came here to eat. I happened to see your car in the parking lot outside, and after asking the waiter, I found out that you were eating here. I came here to toast you with a drink."

President Feng came over with a smile while holding a wine glass. Xiao Feng had interacted with him several times and felt quite good about him, so he quickly picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him.

"President Feng, you are so polite. You didn't even say hello to me while you were eating here. I'll go to your place for a toast later."

Meeting acquaintances at restaurants and toasting each other are compulsory courses in the business world. On the one hand, they can connect with each other emotionally, and on the other hand, they can also expand their social circle.

However, given Xiao Feng's current status in Bincheng's business community, he would only be polite to President Feng, and he would not really go to President Feng's private room to toast.

Although he is a rising star in the Bincheng business community, his net worth is here. The business world is such a reality. Whoever is richer will have a higher status. Otherwise, why would those rich people who are already very rich still be so...

Work hard to make yourself richer?

Net worth means strength, identity and status. This is the starkest reality in the business world!

Otherwise, why would President Feng meet him now and his title would be changed to you?

And when he looked at the man who had been following Mr. Feng, he knew that Mr. Feng must be a drunkard who came to propose a toast.

"Well, okay, okay, yo, by the way, Mr. Xiao is a friend of mine. I heard that you were eating here, and I wanted to get to know you, so I came here specifically. Come, let me introduce you.

Look, this is the manager of Yingyue International Investment Department, He Yukun. Mr. He, this is the boss of Celebrity Chef Manufacturing, Mr. Xiao, who you have always wanted to get to know."

"Hello, hello, Mr. Xiao has been a famous name that I have admired for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero."

The oily man smiled and came over to shake hands with Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng's attitude was very cold. In the afternoon at the head office, Xiao Lin gave him a business card from someone from Yingyue International. He didn't want to have contact with these people, so he didn't have the business card either.

I threw it away immediately after seeing it.

Now when he came to eat, he was blocked by this guy again. He really didn't believe that He Yukun came here to 'encounter' him.

"Hello."

Xiao Feng shook hands with him lightly, and President Feng next to him also saw that Xiao Feng's attitude was a bit uncomfortable, and immediately screamed in his heart that it seemed that he had done something bad with good intentions.

He had dealt with He Yukun a lot, and he met him by chance in the lobby of the hotel today. Then this guy said that Xiao Feng was eating here and wanted to get to know Xiao Feng. He heard that Binhai Bank had dealt with Xiao Feng.

So I wanted to ask him for a recommendation.

He didn't think too much at the time and agreed, but looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case!
Chapter completed!
