Seeing Chen Jinyu show a thoughtful expression, Qin Chuan did not continue to speak, but ate meat and drank wine heartily.
Several bottles of cold beer went down, and his whole body felt comfortable, as if all his pores had been opened.
"Brother, I've always forgotten to ask, what are you planning to do in the provincial capital this time?"
"You're not here just to persuade me, are you?"
Chen Jinyu finally came back to his senses. Compared to Qin Chuan's hearty appetite, he clearly had little interest in eating.
"Of course not!"
Qin Chuan replied, "I've come to the provincial capital this time to join a supermarket!"
"Join a supermarket?"
Chen Jinyu was clearly very surprised by this answer.
"Brother, haven't you always focused on real estate and decoration? Why are you getting into supermarkets? Isn't the industry span a bit too wide?"
Qin Chuan smiled after hearing this, "Besides real estate and decoration, I also sell clothes on the side. Who says people in real estate can't do other things?"
"As for me, as long as it's not illegal or criminal, I'll do whatever is profitable. I won't be stuck in one industry forever, standing still!"
Chen Jinyu: "..."
"If you do this, do you have that much energy? Aren't you afraid of your brain cells dying prematurely from overuse?"
"Haha!!"
Hearing Chen Jinyu's teasing, Qin Chuan was amused, "I once read a report that said that ordinary people only use one to three percent of their brain cells in their lifetime, geniuses use five to six percent, and super geniuses like Einstein only use about ten percent!"
"Although this report cannot be taken at face value, the human body is a wonderful treasure, and its potential is endless. Only by continuously exploring can you become stronger."
"We are in the prime of our lives now. If we don't work hard to earn more money when we are young, will we regret it when we get old?"
Qin Chuan said this, his eyes looking seriously at Chen Jinyu's face, and said again.
"Jinyu, I think we are currently in a golden age!"
"Whether it's our country or our people, all industries are in a stage of vigorous development. In a few years, they will usher in unprecedented growth!"
"We must seize the opportunity now and dance with the times, so as not to leave any regrets!"
Chen Jinyu's eyes flickered, and it was clear that these words had also caused him considerable psychological turmoil.
"Brother, which supermarket brand do you plan to join?"
Finally, Chen Jinyu changed the subject.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan did not say much more. He had said what he needed to say. The final decision depended on Chen Jinyu himself.
If Chen Jinyu still wanted to obey his parents' wishes, then he couldn't do anything about it and would have to look for other talents.
China is so vast, with over a billion people, and there is no shortage of talents in all walks of life!
"Have you heard of Meitehao?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"Meitehao?"
Chen Jinyu showed a thoughtful expression, and after a moment, his eyes lit up, "I remember this name. This is indeed the name of a supermarket. I've seen their advertisements on newspapers and television frequently recently!"
"They've been doing marketing, promotions, recruiting talent, looking for franchisees, and so on!"
"Brother, you want to join this supermarket?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Yes!"
"To be honest, the reason I chose to open a supermarket this time is that the funds for the real estate project are a bit tight. So, during this gap, and since I happen to have some spare cash, I want to do some other business to subsidize the real estate side!"
Chen Jinyu nodded, "Real estate is indeed a very expensive industry. It requires a lot of money! It needs money all the time!"
"Then when do we go to Meitehao?"
Qin Chuan waved his hand, "I'll go alone. If you have something to do, you can go and take care of it. This is not a big deal."
"Brother, you're being too formal. No matter how busy I am, I can still make time for this!"
"Besides, I'm not busy these days. Look at my clothes!"
Chen Jinyu showed off his clean clothes. He was dressed handsomely today, not messy as usual.
"Alright, let's leave after we finish eating!"
Qin Chuan smiled. Half an hour later, after they finished eating, they left the restaurant and drove straight to Meitehao's headquarters.
Meitehao's headquarters is located near the South Inner Ring Road in Jin Province, which is the famous GDP district of the provincial capital, filled with high-end office buildings.
In 1998, Jin Province was still very developed, surpassing many provinces and directly administered municipalities.
Following the address in the newspaper, Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu arrived at the foot of a high-end office building. Looking up at the massive twenty-three-story building, their first impression was that Meitehao was indeed very powerful.
Renting office space in such a high-end building required more than just courage; it required substantial capital.
This year was definitely a year of bold reforms for Meitehao's boss. It was precisely because of a series of decisions made this year that Meitehao, a national chain supermarket, became increasingly popular later on!
Eventually, it became a leader in national retail enterprises and firmly established its position.
The two took the elevator to the ninth floor. As soon as they got out, they saw a luxuriously decorated office space. Through the transparent glass door in front, people could be seen bustling about, indicating a busy scene.
A rough estimate showed that this office space was over a thousand square meters, which was incredibly opulent!
"Gentlemen, is there anything we can help you with?"
As Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu were gazing around, a beautiful young lady in uniform came out from the front desk, her attitude very friendly and gentle.
It was clear she had received excellent training to receive guests.
"Hello, we are here to inquire about franchising cooperation."
Qin Chuan stated their purpose.
"Sir, please follow me!"
The receptionist lady was very familiar with the procedure. She led Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu through the glass door and inside.
Stepping through the glass door, Qin Chuan and Chen Jinyu finally got a clear view of the actual office environment.
Spacious!
Grand!
Clean!
There were individual desks, computers, and busy staff everywhere, all wearing unified uniforms of white shirts and black pants.
Within the thousand-square-meter area, there were numerous staff members, all engaged in a busy scene.
"Sir, this way!"
The receptionist lady led the way and soon arrived at an independent area.
"This is our investment promotion department!"
The lady introduced. Qin Chuan saw that the investment promotion office was crowded with people, with quite a few individuals sitting inside, looking very lively.
"Gentlemen, the people inside the office are all here to inquire about franchise cooperation. Today alone, there are no less than fifty to sixty people who have come to inquire!"
The lady whispered.
Chen Jinyu looked envious, imagining when he could also work in such a large office building. Qin Chuan, however, remained calm and said lightly,
"Excluding some plants, the people inside, I'm afraid less than ten percent will be able to complete the final cooperation!"
