Chapter 279 Big Boss in Beijing Circle

"No. 24, Daxiangfeng Hutong, XC District." Ma Liang looked at his phone and immediately reported the address.

Lu Zhengyang quickly checked it on the navigation system and drove directly towards the mark on the map.

Although there are no smartphones or mobile phone navigation nowadays, assistant Lu Zhengyang paid for a GPS navigator at his own expense in order to fulfill his role as a driver.

Although this thing was not new in 2006, not everyone was willing to use it.

After learning about it, Ma Liang didn't feel petty at all and reimbursed him directly. This made Lu Zhengyang deeply moved again.

In about twenty minutes, the car arrived at the destination.

After all, both places are on the edge of the Forbidden City, so how far apart can they be?

As a result, when we arrived, the car couldn't enter the alley. However, the restaurant was at the entrance of the alley, and a manned rickshaw was arranged to pick us up.

Ma Liang had to sigh in his heart, it was the dignitaries in the capital who knew how to play.

I got on a rickshaw and was pulled by Xiangzi, a contemporary camel, and soon arrived in front of an antique courtyard.

This house is located next to Prince Gong's Mansion, and there is a plaque hanging on the door of the courtyard - [Mei Mansion Family Banquet].

This is the place where we agreed to have dinner tonight, a high-end private dining restaurant.

Ma Liang said hello to the beautiful woman who greeted him at the door, and then walked into the courtyard under the guidance of the little girl.

As they walked, the beauty introduced him to him.

This 1,000-square-meter courtyard with beautiful surroundings and winding paths was originally the private residence of Lord Baylor's concubine Fujin in the Qing Dynasty.

Just one inconspicuous jujube tree in the courtyard has a history of more than 240 years.

The horse-tying stone pile in the backyard is actually from the Ming Dynasty.

If it's your first time here, you knock on the door knocker and enter the courtyard. It doesn't feel like you've entered a restaurant, but like you've returned home.

The dishes in the restaurant all come from the 600 dishes passed down from Mr. Mei Lanfang’s family.

Even the four chefs among the chefs are descendants of Mr. Mei's chef, Mr. Wang Shoushan, so the restaurant is called "Mei's Family Banquet".

Mr. Mei Lanfang's son, Mr. Mei Baojiu, brought here all the tableware, hand-cranked cameras, hand-cranked cameras and other items used by Mr. Mei at home.

Therefore, this [Mei Fu Family Banquet] private dining restaurant is like a small Mei Lanfang Art Museum.

Therefore, this private restaurant has more cultural flavor than other traditional restaurants.

Soon, Ma Liang came to a private room, and his eyes suddenly lit up again.

Different from traditional Chinese private rooms, here there is not a large round table for guests to dine, but a long table.

According to the introduction from the previous welcome lady, [Mei Family Banquet] not only retains the classic Huaiyang cuisine of the Mei family, but also combines it with modern Western food to make improvements and innovations, giving this private kitchen a new vitality.

"Hey, Brother Ma, you're finally here." As soon as they saw him walking into the private room, someone took the initiative to say hello.

The speaker was none other than Chai Jin, the franchisee of [Liupo Malatang].

Seeing that several people had already arrived in the box, Ma Liang hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry, I'm late! I hope Brother Chai and everyone else will bear with me."

As of today, Chai Daguanren is the largest franchisee of Liupo Malatang.

And tonight's dinner is just at Chai Jin's invitation.

Chai Daguan not only invited Ma Liang to dinner, but also said that he would introduce some friends from the business world to him. He even claimed that big shots from Beijing circles would be present.

Ma Liang didn't take it seriously and just thought Boss Chai was joking.

However, he did not doubt the opponent's strength, because in the past few months, Chai Jin had really tried his best, and the investment promotion in Lu and Hebei provinces was very smooth.

In just two or three months, the markets in the two provinces were almost 60% occupied.

Although it is impossible to retain 100% of these franchisees in the end, it is enough to show the extraordinary energy of Chai Daguan people.

For those franchisees, the next most important task is to open the store as soon as possible. For Ma Liang and Chai Jin, it is naturally a win-win situation.

After all, Chai Daguanren made millions in market development commissions from Ma Liang without opening a store.

No wonder this guy dared to win over the image store agents in all prefecture-level cities in the two provinces. He almost earned the money to open the image store by using market development commissions.

Sure enough, there is no simple person who can make a big business.

It was during the [Liupo Malatang] project that I started to have a lot of fun, and after getting to know Ma Liang, I began to appreciate Ma Liang more and more. Chai Daguan and Ma Liang inexplicably fell in love with each other.

Not only is he worthy of his brother, but he has been pestering him to sell some shares.

Indeed, this guy's contribution was too great, and Ma Liang couldn't resist it, so he symbolically offered 5% of his equity for the transaction.

The valuation is 500 million, and the price is not low.

Although Ma Liang still feels that he has suffered a bit of a loss, the valuation of catering companies is not as inflated as that of Internet companies.

In particular, this traditional practice of diligence has never been favored by investment institutions in China.

At the current stage of [Liupo Malatang], being able to estimate 500 million is a sign of sincerity for both parties.

After all, without Chai Jin’s strong support, the project would not have progressed so fast.

You must know that in today's turbulent era, every day represents countless wealth. As long as you are one step ahead, your future development may be very different.

Malatang is not a high-barrier industry, and there are countless potential competitors ready to take off.

Ma Liang wants to launch [Liupo Malatang] on the market and maximize its market value, so it is particularly important to become a leading brand in the industry.

More importantly, the more market share it captures, the wider its stores are distributed, and the higher the degree of suppression of competitors, which will have a great impact on future market value.

Looking at it this way, Chai Jin's contribution seems extraordinary, enough for Ma Liang to pay some benefits in return.

When doing business, at a certain stage, connections are far more important than the business itself.

Only by going back and forth can we all be able to live long-term.

As a result, after hearing the valuation reported by Ma Liang, Chai Daguan signed the investment agreement without saying a word or even repaying the price, and transferred 25 million to the company's account the next day.

After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.

Now that Ma Liang has opened a branch in Beijing and is preparing to expand the northern market in a big way, Chai Jin, as a local snake and a shareholder of [Liu Po ​​Malatang], naturally wants to fulfill his friendship as a landlord.

In order to entertain Ma Liang, Chai Daguanren even called over his well-known business friends.

"Brother Ma, let me introduce you!

This is Boss Li, who has a big coal mine in Shanxi Province; this is Boss Xia, who doesn't have any big industry, but has built two expressways.

And this brother Yang is in the military industry business."

Chai Jin introduced one by one, and all the friends he invited were really wealthy. Just looking at the temperament of these bosses, you knew that none of them were fake.

Ma Liang greeted everyone politely and exchanged contact information.

With the endorsement of Chai Daguan, these big guys did not look down upon him at all because he was a Malatang practitioner.

With his previous experience, Ma Liang was not afraid at all when chatting with these big guys.

For a time, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Then, two more guests arrived, both of whom were important business friends of Chai Jin.

It has to be said that Chai Daguan really values ​​Ma Liang very much, and tonight's dinner gave him enough face.

Seeing everyone arriving and waiting for the food to be served, the last guest arrived belatedly.

"Hey, Wang Sanshi, you have learned how to act like a big name now, it is getting harder and harder to hire someone." Seeing that the other party was late, Mr. Chai was a little dissatisfied.

As for the person Chai Jin calls Sanshi, he is actually not too old. Judging from his appearance, he is only in his thirties.

I saw him immediately begging for mercy: "Brother Chai, how dare I do it in front of you."

Ma Liang took a closer look and took a deep breath.

Good guy! This is really a big shot in the Beijing circle. If not Wang Zhonglei, the CEO of Huayi Brothers, who else could it be?

No wonder Chai Jin gave him the nickname "Three Stones". Doesn't the character "Lei" mean three stones stacked on top of each other?

It's just that at this moment, the young boss of Huayi Brothers is far less flamboyant than in his previous life.
Chapter completed!
